Author's Notes

Hjhjhjyhj – O.o I don't understand what you just said, but thanks again for the 'amazingly hilarious' compliment.

DF – You're right, but this story takes place in Season Two, right before Dangerous Minds. That's why Wuya's a ghost, nobody's made it to Wudai warrior, and Hannibal Roy Bean isn't in this story.

JACKIE JACK SPICER – Thanks! Personally, I don't think that Wuya can be sued. Unlike the monks, she's not really likely to play Jack Spicer's games and abide by the law.

Hybrid S. – Cool! Thanks for reviewing. You know, I usually just make it so that my email address and password are already in the menu so that I'm automatically logged in. :D

"I can't believe it!" Kimiko said. "It worked!" She pushed open the newly-opened door to her cage, letting a few grains of sand fall from the lock mechanism.

"Of course it worked." Clay said proudly. "I wouldn't have done if it didn't."

"What?" Dojo asked.

"Never mind, Dojo." Clay replied. "C'mon, we gotta go help Omi out with that trial."

Kimiko and Raimundo jumped down, with Dojo catching a ride on Raimundo's head. "Your head isn't nearly as soft as Clay's." Dojo complained as they plummeted to the ground. "It's all bony."

"Gee, thanks." Raimundo said as they landed. Dojo jumped off, stretching his muscles. They were all glad to be freed from Jack's incredibly cramped and precariously perched cages. Now, they all had to go to the courthouse and stop before Omi lost all of their Shen Gong Wu to Jack Spicer and Wuya.

They cut across Jack Spicer's lair, where his evil inventions lay strewn all over the place. The only thing that was showing any flicker of life was a strange portal built into the wall. It was giving off an eerie glow that quite frankly was making them all nervous.

"Anybody got a plan?" Clay asked as they approached the door that would lead them out of Jack Spicer's basement.

"Not really." Raimundo said.

"We'll just wing it when we get there." Kimiko added.

"If you get there," chirped a voice from above them. The three monks and the dragon looked up only to see a Capture-bot crawling down the side of the wall, snapping a pair of razor-sharp metallic pincers menacingly. The robot was at least as large as Omi's head, and had a number of smaller units squatting atop it with their own weapons cocked and ready.

Dojo groaned. "Tell me when it's all over!" He skittered up Clay's arm and hid himself inside his ten-gallon hat.

"We attack at once." Raimundo said. "Got it?"

"Yeah." Kimiko replied.

"Sure 'nuff." Clay muttered.

"ATTACK!" And they did.

---------------------------------------------------

"And so…" 1.0 said as it concluded its speech. "You must find Omi guilty, because of the mountain of evidence that we have provided for you. Also, if we get a guilty verdict, Jack Spicer will personally give each and every one of you…a hug."

"What?" Jack demanded.

"End of statement!" 1.0 announced, floating back over to Jack Spicer.

"Good closing statement." Judge Roy Bean said. "I approve of the bribery. Next vict—er, Ami."

Omi cleared his throat loudly before giving his own statement. "My friends, ladies, gentlemen…and assorted Heylin warriors...have you ever tried to deal with Jack Spicer for more than a few hours? He is always up in my business, stealing my Shen Gong Wu and bringing about 1,000 years of darkness. And he never stops, no matter how dangerous things get! If I had hair, I would tear it right out!" He scrunched his eyes and yelled before turning around and walking back to his seat. "I'm okay, now."

"Jury, you may now deliberate." Judge Roy Bean said. "Again. I'm throwing out your previous verdict."

"Thank you, your honor." The foreman said. "But as we said before, we don't need no deliberation. Here you go again, dude."

The judge cleared his throat as he accepted the slip of paper. He unraveled it and then put on his reading glasses, taking his time in order to build up dramatic tension. "Oh, yeah, this is one real nice verdict." He mumbled to himself. He cleared his throat once again and began reading it aloud to everyone in the courthouse. "In the case of the Xiaolin monks vs. Jack Spicer, the jury hereby finds the Xiaolin monks..."

"Hey, what's that over there?" One of the dentists in the jury called.

Everyone turned to see a strange glow coming from the wall behind the jury.

"Evacuate!" The bailiff shouted.

All of the jury members ran forward just in time to avoid being annihilated as the entire wall buckled and got blown everywhere. The Capture-bots swarmed in, surrounding a large Capture-bot that had a huge hole where its body used to be.

"Clay! Kimiko! Raimundo!" Omi called. "What happened to the Dragon Ex-Kumei signal?"

"Didn't need it." Clay said. "We thought that this had a bit more 'punch'."

"What the heck is going on here?" The judge demanded.

"Jack Spicer is a napkidder!" Omi accused.

"What?" The judge cried, becoming more and more confused.

"Kidnapper." Raimundo corrected. "He means, 'kidnapper'.'

"Yes. He nap—kidnapped my friends, Raimundo, Kimiko, and Dojo." Omi said.

"Actually, he dragon­-napped Dojo." Kimiko pointed out.

"Speaking of dragon naps," Dojo yawned. "Could you guys keep it up and let me get some shut-eye?"

The judge turned on Jack Spicer, who was looking pretty sheepish at that point. "Is this true, Albino Jim?"

Jack groaned. "No!" He said. "Lawyer-bots – conference!"

The robots formed a huddle with Jack in the middle. After conversing for a few minutes, they broke up and Lawyer-bot 3.0 went floating over to Omi.

"We thought about it, and we've decided to drop the charges." The robot said. "Provided that you give us your Mokkou Feather."

"No!" Omi said.

"Too bad!" Jack retorted. "Lawyer-bots! Take his feather!"

swiftly moved forward, grabbing Omi's hands and holding them up while 2.0 snatched the feather away. The robots passed the Shen Gong Wu around like it was a hot potato before tossing them into Jack Spicer's hands.

"Today, victory is mine!" He cackled. "I don't need you any more." Jack said to the judge, jury, and bailiff.

"What about us?" Katnappe demanded. "We've been sitting here playing your stupid trial. We deserve a cut!"

Jack grinned broadly. "Sure, you'll get a cut." He waved the feather over his head. "Mokkou Feather!"

The vortex opened over their heads and the suitcase fell out. It landed at the floor next to Omi's right foot.

At first, nobody made a move. Then, all of a sudden…

"Mine! All mine!" Katnappe shrieked, jumping on the suitcase.

"I claim these Shen Gong Wu for my ninja clan!" Tubbimura bellowed.

"These Shen Gong Wu belong to the temple." Omi said, laying his own claim. Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay quickly concurred.

"Hey, I set up this exceedingly long trial! I deserve all of the Shen Gong Wu!" Jack complained. "Give it to me!" He and his Lawyer-bots lay their hands on the briefcase, trying to pull it away from everyone else.

"You owe me, Spicer!" Vlad said, laying a finger on the briefcase,

"I had to sit here. The Shen Gong Wu belong to me." Pandabubba demanded.

As they all started pulling on the briefcase, the Shen Gong Wu inside began to glow with a familiar light.

"Uh-oh…" Katnappe said. "I think we broke it."

"You did worse than that, Katnappe." Dojo said ominously, pulling out the Xiaolin Showdown official rulebook. "You have initiated a Xiaolin Infinity Showdown – a 12-way Xiaolin Showdown!"

"That is not possible. There is no such thing." Omi said, still not relinquishing his grip.

"On the contrary," Master Fung said. "A Xiaolin Infinity Showdown is most real. It is a twelve-way battle in which the competitors divide themselves up into teams of four, with each competitor wagering one Shen Gong Wu."

"They don't even have Shen Gong Wu." Kimiko said, referring to Vlad, Katnappe, Tubbimura, and Pandabubba.

"That is also taken care of." Master Fung said. The briefcase opened, just a crack, and the four Wu-less participants found themselves reaching in for Shen Gong Wu.

"Okay, guys. Tell me what you're doing." Dojo said as he began writing in the rulebook.

"Since I touched the Wu first, I get to decide the Showdown." Katnappe said with a smirk. "And I choose…Demolition Arena!"

"Underwater Demolition." Jack insisted. "It's rematch time…Opie!"

"Fine." Dojo said, hurrying to write down the name of the game.

"Our team wagers the Mokkou Feather, the Mantis Flip Coin, the Reversing Mirror, and the Shroud of Shadows." Omi said.

"Our team wagers the Helmet of Jong, the Thorn of Thunderbolt, the Monkey Staff, and the Changing Chopsticks." Jack added.

"And my team--," Katnappe began.

"Who died and allowed you to become team leader, kitty litter?" Tubbimura interrupted. "Ourteam wagers the Gills of Hamachi, the Fist of Tebigong, the Serpent's Tail…and the Lasso Boa-Boa."

"Gong Yi--," Omi began.

"Hold your horses!" Dojo snapped. "I'm still writing 'chopsticks'."

Finally, Dojo finished. "Gong Yi Tampai!" They all said in unison, the first ever Xiaolin Infinity Showdown was begun.
