This is probably my longest chapter yet, but you won't be disappointed! Enjoy:
(No POV.)
"Fine, Lets "discus."" Chase said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Well your options this time are the potion," Hannibal said counting off his "fingers."
"No. The potion is useful but when you make us do ridiculous things for each and every ingredient…" He shuddered. (A/N: Hmm okay that was OOC.) "What are our other options?"
"Wait until she snaps out of it," Hannibal said still counting.
"If she snaps out of it." Jack said gloomily sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Yes if. Well there is one more reasonable option." Hannibal said getting everyone's attention. When all eyes were on him he continued. "There's the showdown option."
"Showdown? As in a xiaolin showdown?" Jack asked.
"Yes."
"Explain." Chase commanded.
"Well you know as I know that Lisa is skilled mage in Wu Fusion." Hannibal started.
"How do you know that?" Jack asked.
"We were both confined to the yin-yang world at the same time, I think I know her better than you do." Hannibal chuckled.
"No you don't." Jack thought to himself.
"Anyway I would like to continue without being interrupted this time." Hannibal said glaring at Jack. "Part of Wu fuse is…well…How to put it? Okay, Lisa touches a Shen Gong Wu and concentrates. Then she starts gaining its power, as you know. Now what you may not know is why it's called Wu Fusion. In order for something to fuse together there has to be a part from both "objects." When Lisa bonds with a wu she gains its ability, or a form of its ability. But the wu takes some of Lisa power as well. Not really stealing a power, as she does to it. It takes so of her "energy" shall we call it. So when she bonds with something the wu actually gets a little stronger instead of weaker. Lisa to gets stronger because not only does she have a new power but she can restore the lost energy. My point is, Lisa isn't quite human you see. She is half Shen Gong Wu and she is half human." There was a pause and then,
"But isn't she one-third human, one-third shen gong wu, and one-third snake?" Jack asked.
"Fine she's one third snake. Anyway you may be wondering where I'm going with the whole "Lisa is shen gong wu" thing." Hannibal said looking at everyone. They nodded.
"As we all know shen gong wu can be fought over in a showdown, and so can someone's eternal loyalty. When ever someone is playing for someone else loyalty it's just started by one person challenging another. But since Lisa's loyalty doesn't belong to someone else we can't play for it unless she except the challenge, which she can't do right now. But the Wu part of her can. In a normal showdown two or more players have to touch the wu at the same time and then the wu is played for. Since she is part shen gong wu, we can start a showdown like that, but we can't win the wu part. We win her, her eternal loyalty. It is the only thing she can play for, since she has no shen gong wu, that is why she never does a showdown, she just takes the wu, absorbs the power, and tosses it away."
"So we can do a showdown because she is part wu, but we play for her human part?" Rai asked and Hannibal nodded. "But what does winning her eternal loyalty have to do with any of this?"
"When Chase Young tricked Omi into swearing his loyalty Omi's essence, or chi, was combined with him. Giving Chase control over Omi and control over his powers. If one of you wins, Lisa is yours. You can use her powers to reverse the effects. It's dangerous though. Handling such enormous powers can over-whelm some. Anyway after the affects have been reversed you can set her free or enjoy a life time of more power then you could ever imagine." He finished with a smirk.
"So two of us play for her, one of us wins, reverse the effects, set her free, and we're good right?" Jack asked but Hannibal kept smiling. "Right?" he repeated, smile, "RIGHT!" and finally he spoke,
"One of you plays against me. If you win you get back Lisa. But if I win…" Hannibal said, it was all he needed to say before they figured it out.
"You can't do that! You're suppose to help us save her and you want her powers all for yourself!"
"You fiend!"
"How could you!"
Were some of the cries heard.
"I should've known there was a catch." Chase said to himself. "Alright Hannibal I'll play you for her loyalty."
"No! I want to play for her loyalty!" Jack exclaimed. No one bothered to ask why, it was obvious he liked her, but they didn't know about the kiss or anything.
"No way, I'm playing for her loyalty!" Rai yelled, it was dead obvious why he wanted to win.
"Neither of you can play!" Omi exclaimed.
"WHY!" They all shouted in unison.
"Chase Young is evil-" Omi started but Chase cut him off,
"SHE'S MY SISTER! Heylin or Xiaolin has nothing to do with this! Besides, even if it did, she's HEYLIN!"
Omi continued like nothing had happened. "Jack is also "evil" and he's no good at showdowns. Raimundo, I am sorry you are my friend but I do not trust you with this. I should play because I am the strongest monk."
"No way cheese ball! She wouldn't want you playing for her." Jack said angrily.
"And she would want you?" Omi asked getting up in Jack's face.
"You know maybe I want to play for her loyalty!" Wuya yelled.
"No way if you win you'll keep her powers all for yourself!" Rai yelled.
"And if you win you'll keep her under your control and make her do whatever you want." Wuya replied back. Rai knew she was right but didn't care,
"I'm playing for her!"
"No I am!"
"ME!"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Kimiko and Clay yelled. They had to listen to this and were sick of it.
"Look why don't we decided by drawing straws or something?" Kimiko suggested.
"We don't have straws and I have terrible luck." Jack replied.
"Okay how about this, since I'm not playing, well neither is Kim, (Hannibal also had to listen but was simply amused.) anyway, what if I count to ten and on ten you all rush over and whoever gets there first gets to play?" Clay suggested. Everyone agreed and took their position.
"One…" Everyone tensed up.
"Two…" They prepared themselves.
"Three…" And it was an uproar. Wuya shoved Omi out of the way, he shoved her back and they started wrestling. Chase and Rai made a dive and collided into each other.
"I DIDN'T SAY TEN!" Clay shouted just as Jack dove for Lisa. He or she grabbed her arm and Hannibal touched the other.
"Hannibal Bean, I challenged you to Xiaolin showdown! First one to reach the wu, er I mean girl, wins! I wager my jet bootsu for your moby morpher." Jack said.
"I accept you challenged, Jack Spicer." Hannibal replied.
"LETS GO, XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" They both shouted.
Okay so I hope you all understand this. I tried to describe it in the easiest way possible. All you really need to know is that they're playing for Lisa's loyalty and her powers, which is included with her loyalty. So please R&R I love reviews I even like flames sort-of! Well I don't like flames, but I like getting email, and I like making fun of mean people, and, you probably don't want to hear any of this do you? Ah, whatever, just REVIEW!
