"Wow, cool landscape in 10 showdowns…anyway; get to the point, Shroud Of Shadows!"
"Hey, how can you get across the bridge with just the shadows? Tangle Web Comb!" Keri replied with enthusiasm. The web reached across to the other side, binding to the post. She swung towards the other side.
"Get off me, with the shroud of shadows, your gravity doesn't change. Man you're stupid. Shockwave blast, Energy!" A huge shockwave appeared around her and a massive explosion was heard, as well as Jack Spicer's high pitched scream descending down to the canyon. The tangle web's length grew smaller in order for Keri to stand on the other side.
"The Showdown ended just like that? It is too short to be realistic!" Omi was surprised. "It should be 'It's too good to be true' Omi. You have no hope in slang, really." Once again, Raimundo stood by to correct him. Keri disagreed. "He does have hope, he just needs a teacher and … a notebook."
Everyone boarded onto Dojo's back and headed towards the temple. Omi sat at the front talking to Dojo while Kimiko and Keri listened to Raimundo and Clay arguing about his 'slow and steady tai chi'.
"They get kind of annoying sometimes, but it's quite entertaining, isn't it?" Kimiko tried to make a conversation with Keri, but it quickly came to an end. "I just wish I could enjoy listening to arguments as you do. So if I do anything wrong in the future, please correct me." "Ohh…okay."
The monks soon arrived at the temple. "It is so good to be home! Master Fung! Keri won her first xiaolin showdown! It was most interesting on how she defeated him. She also used her element and the Tangle Web Comb for assistant! And also…" Omi was the first to speak, but was soon cut off by Master Fung's interruption. "I understand Omi. Keri, however, may I ask you to come with me for a walk around the temple?" "Okay." Then they went off.
"This is weird; I wonder what Master Fung would talk to her about. Anyone up for spying?" Everyone agreed to Raimundo's plan and hid in all different places following the teacher and student.
Master Fun gazed suspiciously at his new student. "I understand you have won the showdown, but how did you have the required focus for the Tangle Web Comb and the ability to use your element easily?" "I need absolute focus to live my everyday life anyway. So it's not a surprise to have it in order to control the Tangle Web Comb, is it?" Keri finished only seeing Master Fung's surprised face. "Okay, maybe not, but if I tell you this, please don't tell the others. They're the only friends I've got." She heard a calm reply. "Yes, I promise, now please continue."
"Wow, wonder what she'll say to keep it a secret?" Kimiko whispered only to get her mouth covered by Omi.
"I have devastating powers, those that can bring the world to an end. I've been controlling them since I was taught, but somehow, once I've lost control and killed my parents. It's dangerous; my powers are triggered by emotions and lack of focus. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but please, I want everyone to be happy for now. When the time is right, I'll tell the others myself. Please keep this a secret. I don't want them to leave me. I don't want everyone to kick me out the temple. I love everyone like my family, I love this place, I don't wish to leave this place like I did before." Keri's voice was quiet and her face turned sad. Tears started to form but they soon got wiped away when the flower pot exploded. "Ugh. Darn emotions." Master Fung quickly reassured her. "I am sure that the monks will understand when you tell them. Now hurry back to practicing your elements. I shall keep it a secret. In the mean time, keep the powers under control for now."
