Chapter 3
Meeting up again
Dojo saw the skies darkening slowly so he landed in a thick forest, where he thought no one would find them. He gathered wood as the others put up the tents.
" This should last us the night." Dojo said carrying a large pile of wood
" Good, it's starting to get cold out here." Raimundo replied
" It's not that cold Rai." Kimiko said
" Hey I'm from Brazil, I'm use to a tropical setting." Raimundo argued
" Please friends do not argue we must to conserve energy for more searching in the morning." Omi insisted
" The little guy is right, save it for when we get back to the temple." Dojo said
Raimundo shrugged as he continued to put up the tent, Kimiko only rolled her eyes.
" Remember Raimundo you share a tent with Omi, I don't want you sharing a tent with Kimiko again. The last time you did Kimiko torched it." Dojo said
" He touched my butt, so he deserved a good burn on his back-side." Kimiko retorted
" True it was funny." Dojo smiled
" Hey I still a scar from that." Raimundo said
Omi, Kimiko, and Omi couldn't help but bust out laughing (at Raimundo's expense) Dojo built a small fire and lit it before returning to his smaller form. They had a small dinner, but it would have to do for now, the three went into their tents. Dojo transformed and coiled around the tents for extra protection, not only he didn't trust strange travelers, he didn't trust Raimundo.
Kimiko snuggled up in her purple blanket instantly falling asleep, after a few hours she felt someone shaking her awake. Only to see Dojo's head at the door of the tent.
" Sorry to wake you up, but we need to get going, I feel that we're not alone here." Dojo said
" Who would follow us?" Kimiko asked
" I'm not sure, but I know that someone else is here." Dojo replied
Kimiko put her stuff in her bag and put down the tent, she got on Dojo's back with the others, taking into the sky but not seeing anyone near by.
" You wake us up a three in the morning for this?" Raimundo asked
" I know that someone is following us, get some sleep I'll do the rest." Dojo said
The dragon flew for a few hours as the three monks slept soundly, until Kimiko awoke after Raimundo kicked her, apparently he was dreaming about winning another soccer game.
" He's lucky I'm too tired to push him off." Kimiko said to Dojo
" He doesn't mean to do that I guess, I sometime eat my pillow thinking it's Master Fung's home-made pie, but that's normal for me." Dojo said
" You make a good point." Kimiko replied
Omi awoke sometime later after almost rolling off the dragon, he looked down seeing nothing but farm-land.
" We can land here for a while." Dojo said
Dojo landed startling Raimundo who rolled off Dojo's back onto the ground.
" I feel better." Kimiko stated
" Very funny." Raimundo said
" Where are we Dojo?" Omi asked
" The great state of Texas in the U.S" Dojo replied returning to his smaller form
" So this the place Clay talks about." Raimundo said watching a tumble-weed roll by
" Looks cool to me." Kimiko said
" Did the definition of cool change in the last five minutes?" Raimundo asked
The group walked along a dirt path trying to find a place to sit down for a while, only to come upon a flowing creek.
" Now what?" Raimundo asked
" You get killed." said a voice
" Jack Spicer, what are you doing here?" Omi asked determinedly
" Without the cowboy, you will be easier to defeat." Jack replied
" We can kick your butt easy." Raimundo said
" You forget what I said genius. I said without. I found him ten miles from here, so I had my strongest robots take care of him, then I found you, luckily I have more robots." Jack replied
The robots attacked the three monks, Raimundo and Omi were able to send a few flying into some trees, but it did no good, a few robots sent the two monks into the creek.
" Finish them!" Jack ordered
The robot had its sights set on Kimiko, she noticed it and she backed up able to tell that it was fire-proof. Suddenly a wolf jumped onto the robot biting its neck, Dojo sent out a ball of flames destroying the robot as Jack ran off.
" I won't take another bath for a while." Raimundo said
" Thank you for your help Dojo." Omi said
" Not a problem, but this wolf helped too." Dojo said
The wolf was sniffing the burnt robot, she then looked up at Kimiko who was right next to her, Kimiko patted the wolf's head.
" Thank you girl." Kimiko said
" Not a problem sweetie." the wolf replied
" Okay, that creek must have spiked water, I thought just heard that wolf talk." Raimundo said
" I can talk genius, I've been able to talk sine I was two years old." the wolf said
" Ming is that you?" Dojo asked
" Dojo, I haven't seen you in fifty years, you haven't changed a bit." the wolf said
" Neither have you Ming." Dojo replied
" Call me Maya." the wolf insisted
" That is a pretty name, who gave it to you?" Omi asked
" A very nice cowboy gave me the name." Maya replied
" Okay, how do you and Dojo know each other?" Raimundo asked
" You see, Maya here is in charge of Earth aligned Shen Gong Wu." Dojo replied
" Where was she when we had to fetch the Fist of Tebigong?" Raimundo asked
" It's called a vacation dear, take one." Maya replied
" Oh great now the wolf is against me." Raimundo pouted
" Come on, you can come with me and my master we'll enjoy the company." Maya said
The monks followed the wolf down a long dirt path and two other paths until they came to a farm with a large barn, they saw no house anywhere on the large farm.
Maya sniffed the air, she ran off toward the barn, the three followed her to the back of the barn to find a graveyard of Jack's robots laying on the ground.
" Oh no." Maya said
The monks saw a large pile of robots right behind the barn, the wolf started digging through it, she gripped something with her teeth, pulling as best as she could.
" Clay." Kimiko gasped
The cowboy coughed a bit, he rubbed his head in pain.
" That was the worst fight I have ever been in." Clay said
" Don't worry we took care of the other robots back at the creek." Raimundo said
" And you're still wet to prove it." Kimiko retorted
