Sorry for not updating in a while. I had a combo of writer's block, an ass load of stress and a vacation across the country. But here it is. Please review!
Chapter 2
Modo got out of his sleeping bag-like bed and went to the pantry to get some breakfast. As he was preparing his meal, Lee approached him.
"No time for breakfast." He said, "There are important things to be done."
Modo knew what this meant: chores. He followed Lee to the Temple. Modo sighed. He sulked until he saw lee open the Shen Gong Wu vault.
"What are you doing?" Modo asked. Lee didn't reply. He walked down and got a Shen Gong Wu from the chamber. He went back up the stairs with a Shen Gong Wu that looked like a diamond with a short line on each of the points. It was on a chain like a necklace.
"This is yours." Lee said. He handed Modo the Eye of Dashi. "This is, after all, your Shen Gong Wu which matches with your element. Who better to protect it than the Dragon Apprentice of Thunder?"
Modo took it and put it around his neck. "I'm honored Master, thank you." He said. His master nodded but then stopped abruptly when the Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu started to glow. Lee opened it. "The Fist of Tebigong has revealed itself." Lee picked up a compass-looking Shen Gong Wu. "Compass of the Wu!" he exclaimed. The compass pointed in all sorts of directions until an image appeared on it. "It's in Machu Picchu. Go." He said. Modo nodded and took the Silver Manta Ray, which resembled a silver-looking toy glider.
"Silver Manta Ray!" he said outside the Temple and threw the glider and it turned into a large jet. Modo climbed in and took off.
About half an hour later he arrived at the ancient Incan ruins. He immediately saw the Shen Gong Wu. He grabbed for it. He started to pull on it when he noticed he couldn't move it. He looked up. "Coranos." Modo said, "Heylin Master Dragon. I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. I wager my Jetbootsu against your Tangle Web Comb."
"Fine," the black haired dark eyed Coranos replied, "Name your challenge."
Modo thought for a moment. "First to reach the top of the mountain and get the Fist of Tebigong. Wins all. Xiaolin Showdown!"
The already large mountain grew bigger and it was now surrounded by fire and spinning saw blades.
"Gong Yee Tampai!" they said at the same time.
"Jetbootsu!" Modo exclaimed causing his shoes to become rocket shoes. He flew into the air. "Not so fast. Tangle Web Comb!" Coranos yelled. Out of his comb-like Shen Gong Wu came several vine-like strings that extended out and wrapped around Modo who was now in midair. They pulled him down and he fell to the base of the mountain.
"Tangle Web Comb!" he said again and the comb's strings grabbed a tree halfway up the mountain. The strings pulled Coranos up and catapulted him to the top of the mountain. He grabbed the Fist of Tebigong.
"Thanks for the Wu. It's a shame that you haven't yet realized that Heylin is the only way to win. You might actually have potential on this side." Coranos used the Jetbootsu he won in the Showdown to fly away, leaving Modo in shame.
He returned to the temple depressed. He usually won Showdowns against Coranos.
"You lost the Fist of Tebigong?" Lee asked. Modo nodded. "What's worse is that we'll have to wait for another showdown to get the Wu back. I mean come on! I lost the Jetbootsu, the-"
He was cut short by a strange displacement in his weight. He noticed he was floating. "What is this?" Modo asked himself and Lee at the same time. He flew out of the Temple out of control. Lee stood there and yelled, "Use the Shen Gong Wu!"
"What, like I can use the Two Ton Tunic and-" once again he was interrupted. He started falling to the ground at an extremely high rate.
"Um, uh…focus…Wings of Tinabi!" he exclaimed in desperateness. He started flying out of control. He was in panic but then focused. He was able control his flying at this point. He then landed in front of Lee.
Lee nodded "I knew this day would come." He said with pride and, slight fear for some reason, in his voice. "Ever since the day you were born, I knew that you would have the power of the Shen Gong Wu. It was who you were…a powerful gift of sorts." Lee turned to the vault. He walked down the stairs and retrieved an odd item that looked like a piece of armor for the left arm.
"The day I met you, I knew you would someday be the time for you to use this. "The Soul of Dragon Fang." Modo said. He opened his eyes wider. "How did I know that?"
"Because you were destined to use this Shen Gong Wu." He replied, "It is necessary to achieve the true power of Wudai Warrior rank."
"You mean I'm a Wudai Warrior?" Modo asked excitedly. "Yes." Lee said, "Besides the breaking into the vault, you've shown maturity and responsibility in the protection of the Shen Gong Wu. I will explain the power of this Shen Gong Wu to you tomorrow."
Modo nodded and realized how late it was. He headed to his dwelling and went to sleep.
He woke up earlier than usual the next day. He could only wonder how and why he received this power. And why could he suddenly out of no where use it now? Maybe Master Lee could tell him.
Once he heard the morning gong he knew Lee would be up. He walked to the Temple.
"Master," he started, "I can't stop wondering, how did this happen to me. The power I mean."
Lee sighed. He looked at Modo. "Well," he said, "it happened like this…"
