Jack clung on to Dojo's back for his dear life. The undulating motion wasn't doing too well for his stomach.
"Dojo…" he wavered, "I'm gonna puke…"
"Pleas puke over the sides, if you don't mind."
"I don't mind."
Jack leaned over Dojo's side and puked
"Very nice," Dojo muttered.
"Are we there yet?" Jack quaked.
"We're close…"
"My stomach…"
Jack leaned over and puked again.
"There it is!"
Dojo pointed at the Great Wall of China.
"You're kidding," Jack swallowed back his vomit, "Right?"
"Nope. The Walkachoo Wall is somewhere in the Wall of China."
"Inside of it?"
"No, just incorporated in it's exterior. Shouldn't be too hard to find."
Dojo landed on the ground a few feet from the wall.
"Should be straight ahead."
Jack got off his back and stumbled over to the wall.
"So many bricks…" he mumbled.
"Yeah and one of them is our Wu…"
"Looking for this?"
Jack looked up into Wuya's green eyes.
"How'd you…"
"I'm quick on my feet, what can I say?"
Jack growled furiously.
"Well. It was nice seeing you again, Jacky, but I'm off."
Wuya flew up into the air.
Jack was furious.
"I did not come all this way on a dragon's back to be swindled out of my Wu by an ugly old WITCH!"
"What did you call me?" Wuya rasped."
"Ugly!" Jack shouted.
"Care to back those words up with some action?"
Jack hovered up into the air with his fly bot and grabbed the Walkachoo Wall in his hand.
"Yeah. Wuya, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"
Wuya hissed.
"My Monkey Staff…"
"Is that the only Shen Gong Wu you have?"
"It's the only one they let me use. Against your Silk Spitter!"
"Fine. The game is Wall Runner. First person to reach that guard tower wins."
Jacked looked down at the wall. The nearest guard tower was almost a mile away.
"That one?" he pointed.
Wuya nodded.
"That's kinda far, don't you think?"
"Not at all, Jack. Do you want this Wu or not?"
Jack thought for only a split second.
"Let's do this," he announced, "Xiaolin Showdown!"
The wall rocketed up into the air and hovered far above the earth. Instead of ramparts, there were wild flames. The wall narrowed and stretched out so that it was straight instead of curved. Jack and Wuya appeared on the Wall's surface.
"Gong Yi Tanpai!"
With that, Jack and Wuya ran across the Great Wall of China.
"Monkey Staff!"
Jack picked up speed on four legs.
"Silk Spitter!"
Wuya shot the gooey strands at Jack, who cleverly evaded them and continued running on his monkey paws.
Jack was looking over his shoulder to stick his tongue out at Wuya when the floor beneath hem suddenly fell out. Jack caught the edge of the opening jast as he was beginning to fall. As he tried to haul himself up, Wuya leapt over him and he got a clear view up into Wuya's dress. Jack's eyes bulged in shock.
"Silk Spitter!" the witch bellowed as she sent the goo after Jack once more.
Jack kicked off from the wall he was leaning on and flipped back and out of the bottomless hole also managing to miss the sticky projectile.
Wuya was pretty far ahead of him. Even with his monkey speed, catching up would be tough. He thought a moment.
"Fly bot!"
Jack turned on his fly bot and glided through the air after Wuya.
"Wey, witch," he called, "You've got a grey hair!"
"What!"
Wuya halted instantly and started fussing with her hair.
Jack cackled as he sped ahead of her.
"I can't find- Jack!"
Wuya ran as fast as she could to catch up with him, but she was stopped as a series of darts were shot across the fiery ramparts.
Jack put his fly bot away and finished the Showdown as a human being.
"Silk Spitter!"
Jack suddenly felt his legs knocked from beneath him. He was bound by the Silk Spitter's ammunition.
"Well," Wuya gasped slightly, "I guess this Wu is mine."
She was still a good ways back, but Jack didn't have much time to free himself. Reaching into his pocket he found his old switchblade. He began to cut furiously through the sticky thread.
"Face it, Jack," she said as she approached him, "You lose."
Heat filled Jack's face and his eyes turned a violent red, as if a fire were burning in his very soul. Suddenly, he pulled his legs apart and the web tore in half. Jumping to his feet, Jack punched Wuya in the face. The old witch fell to the ground.
"I didn't come all this way to lose to you!" he spat.
Walking into the guard tower, Jack picked the Walkachoo Wall up from the torch pit, ending the Showdown.
"Lesson learned," he said as everything returned to normal, "Don't mess with Jack Spicer after he's gotten over a nasty bought of motion sickness!"
Wuya watched as Jack mounted Dojo's back. Jack was growing stronger, she could feel it in his punch. It was then that she began to fear that if he was this strong without training, how strong would he become when bestowed the power of a Wudai Warrior? She laughed silently to herself. Either that bean had picked the perfect target, or he was on his way to joining a three bean salad at Jack's dinner table.
A/N: Two Showdowns in a row? Well, not really. Chapter 18 may have sucked, but it covered a time gap. Sorry it seems so immediate... but I'm no good at interrim chapters. Good news is, Jack now has his five Shen Gong Wu! Now Master Fune has to let him join the temple... or does he...
