Chapter 3
In the Xiaolin Temple, three people were awaiting in tension for the event to happen.
"Master," the tall man said, "you're ready?" Lee, another one of the three people nodded, holding a cloud-looking object in his left hand.
Sitting on the ground was a woman, gripping the tall man's hand tight. "You can do this." Said the tall man to his wife, "You're a Xiaolin Monk. And soon, our newborn son will be a part of this world."
She nodded, her face red from holding back ear-piercing screams from the cramps.
She screamed. At that, Lee declared "Shinoku Dream Cloud!" the cloud-looking object glowed and the woman started to calm down a little, good thoughts, peaceful thoughts, all rushing in her head. But that couldn't hamper the pain from the contractions.
"Mornas!" she yelled to the tall man, "It hurts!"
Mornas nodded, "You'll be okay, Shika."
They were interrupted by the glow of the Shen Gong Wu scroll.
"Lee, get a Monk to handle that!" Mornas didn't even have time to deal with formalities towards his master with the situation at hand.
Lee nodded and called to a monk. "The Serpent's Tail." Lee said. A tail-like object appeared on the scroll. He checked its location with the Compass of the Wu. Lee gasped.
"What is it?" Mornas yelled, annoyed at the distractions.
"The Serpent's Tail is buried under the temple…which means-"
He was cut off by the crashing of the ceiling above them. Coranos flew in.
Coranos was blasting a hole in the middle of the meditation chamber without doing any kind of introduction as he normally did.
Mornas had enough. He jumped into Coranos' hole, which he dug with his small Shen Gong Wu, the Kuzusu Atom, to get to the Serpent's Tail. They both grabbed it. They both pulled on the Shen Gong Wu.
"Coranos I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My Thorn of Thunderbolt against your Mantis Flip Coin for the Serpent's Tail. First to catch the Serpent's Tail wins."
"Wow, big on talking today! You're pissed!"
"Shut up! Xiaolin Showdown!"
The temple vanished and revealed a large open plane. Lee and Shika were on a high up platform.
"Gong Yee Tampai!" they exclaimed at the same time.
"Mantis Flip Coin!" yelled Coranos, gripping a coin in his left hand.
He leaped into the air and lunged down towards the Serpent's Tail, which was dashing around the field.
"Thorn of Thunderbolt!" exclaimed Mornas, holding out an object with a handle with an extension of a thorn covered dagger blade.
A ring of electricity flew out of the Thorn and nearly zapped Coranos. Coranos dropped out of the air and tried to land on the Tail. It dashed out of its position, causing Coranos to suffer a painful fall to the hard dirt.
Mornas exclaimed again, "Thorn of Thunderbolt!".
The ring of thunder chased the Serpent's tail until it made a quick turn and it collided with the almost unconscious Coranos. He cried out a shriek of pain. Mornas grabbed the Flip Coin out of Coranos' hand with little resistance from him.
"Mantis Flip Coin!" Mornas leaped into the air to an incredible height. "Thorn of Thunderbolt!" he exclaimed right after the great leap. He then let out a barrage of thunder rings in all directions. The Tail panicked as it desperately moved crazily in any direction to avoid being hit. But when Mornas needed something done, he got it done.
The Tail squirmed and spazzed-out in fear and was hit by one of the last rings. Mornas dropped down on the Tail and grabbed it. The Showdown was over.
The Temple returned where it was in place of the field.
Mornas set his three new Shen Gong Wu in Lee's hands and returned to his wife.
Lee instructed the monk he had brought in to dispose of Coranos, "Golden Tiger Claws!" he exclaimed. He swiped at the air with the golden, three-pronged, claw-like objecton his hand. A whit-gray portal, which apparently led to some deserted island in the Atlantic, appeared in mid-air. The monk motioned with his hand towards the portal. Coranos didn't cooperate.
"You will only leave here alive if you go through that portal." The monk said.
Over by Shika, Mornas was kneeling down trying to help her. It was a crucial moment. Shika focused and focused and, without going into detail, her son was brought into the world.
"I won't go!" Coranos replied, "I have an ace-in-the-hole!"
He pulled out a small Shen Gong Wu and declared, "Kuzusu Atom!"
Suddenly, the monk was gone and the Golden Tiger Claws fell into Coranos' hands.
"You fiend!" said Mornas standing up, "You destroyed him!". He grabbed one of the Shen Gong Wu he had just given to Lee and declared, "Thorn of Thunderbolt!". The ring was about to make impact when Coranos declared, "Golden Tiger Claws!" he made the same swiping motion the monk had made previously and reappeared behind Mornas.
Coranos pulled out his other Shen Gong Wu and declared, "Kuzusu Atom!". Mornas was gone, his Shen Gong Wu falling to the floor.
Lee stood and stared in disbelief. He lost his best monk and his strongest apprentice in seconds. He couldn't move.
Shika sobbed at the sight. She grabbed another one of Lee's Shen Gong Wu, barely managing to get to her feet. "Serpent's Tail!" she exclaimed. She passed through Coranos and reappeared in front of him.
"Now you'll get what you should've gotten a long time ago!" she exclaimed. She punched him hard in the stomach, fighting through the pain of birth, and yelled to Lee, "Open the vault!" he did as instructed and moved his hand over the wind chimes. The vault opened. Coranos, still stunned from the blow, got down to one knee.
She grabbed what looked like a shield then grabbed a strange orb and got out of the vault. Lee closed the vault.
She exclaimed, "Sphere of Yun!" and pointed the Sphere at her baby who was crying hysterically on the floor. He was now safe in a transparent barrier.
"Moby Morpher!" she yelled holding up the shield. Her body changed form completely. She became a tiger-bear cross breed and lunged at Coranos.
He pulled out his Shen Gong Wu and said almost breathlessly, "K-Kuzusu Atom."
And that ended the existence of Shika.
Lee was now madder than he had ever been. Though his Xiaolin training taught him to control his anger, it never explained how to hold back the rage of losing one of his monks and his two best apprentices in a matter of minutes.
He turned to Coranos and realized that, even though he wanted to, he couldn't kill Coranos. He had to get to the baby as soon as he could. He quickly kicked the Kuzusu Atom out of Coranos' hand and kicked him into the portal the other monk never sealed.
With Coranos gone, Lee ran to the baby, still on the floor in the barrier from when Shika had to put him down. He grabbed the Sphere of Yun and deactivated the barrier.
He grabbed the baby and rushed to the monks' secondary meditation chamber to find the other monks and get help. He said, "You will be a great Xiaolin Dragon some day. You will be an idol for us all. Modo."
