Not as many reviews as I hoped for but combined with the prequel to this story, I have achieved about 100+ reviews! YAY! Thanks everyone. This story has even reached its 1000 hit. So thanks for reading and reviewing. Keep doing it! Btw, my beta isn't finished with this chapter yet so I'll replace it later and it might change,
Chapter 9: Ready? Cause I'm not.
Raimundo's P.O.V
'This is bad, very bad.' was all I kept on thinking. I was flying the Silver Manta Ray and it wasn't a very pleasant ride. "Raimundo, partner, please stop shakin this thing or else I'll…" He held his hand to his mouth. "Oh no you don't!" Kimiko yelled. "Rai, let's land this thing and take a break." "Alright." I said quietly and landed the Silver Manta Ray on a mountain range not too far from our destination. Clay went behind a bush and started to hurl. "Gross." Kim said and walked away. I was staring into the distance, but in truth, I was listening for the wind. "Hey Rai, you don't have to be so nervous. So you broke a rule, it was to fight in the name of good." she tried to comfort me. "But what if there was no evil? What if I was just paranoid and thought there was some evil threat but there isn't?" I was thinking that Hannibal or Wuya will get out of their prisons and Jack will turn back to his evil ways. Or maybe Chase Young would rise again.
Kimiko's P.O.V
I was really worried for him. He had this rock hard expression of determination. Whatever Rai sensed, he was ready for it. But it scared me; this wasn't the Rai I remember. The Rai I knew. The Rai I fell in love with. The Rai that proposed to me. I held his hand. I looked up and I felt the sting in my eyes. I was tearing up. He looked at me and his expression lightened. "Please Rai, you're starting to worry me. You're not yourself and if we fight, I don't want to lose you." I started to sob. "Hey, hey, hey! Kim. It's gonna be alright. I'll always be there. Remember my promise?" "But." I tried to argue. "It came true right?" He had his finger on my lips. "I love you and I'll always protect you. Fair enough? Now stop crying." I wrapped my arms around him. He laughed. "You remind me of a small kid sometimes." He smirked. I smiled and kissed him. "That's the Rai I want." He smirked again. "There's another Rai?" He said while looking around. I laughed. He smirked. That's my Rai.
Clay's P.O.V
'Uggghhhh…' I thought, 'That was definitely not pretty.' It got late and I finally came to. "Whew! Alright I think I'm ready." "Ok." our leader responded. "Here we go! Silver Manta Ray!" he threw it up into the air and it appeared. "I'm ready to fly!" "I hope so." I muttered. We flew for only a little while and I saw Kimiko with a sad expression. "What's up, little missy?" I asked. She looked up and asked me, "Do you think we'll have to fight again, Clay?" she said with such a shaky tone, I didn't know how to answer. "I reckon we will, I mean, whatever Raimundo is sensing seems pretty bad." I said. "I don't want anybody to get hurt, not you, not Omi, or Dojo, or…" "Me?" Rai answered. "Well, yeah! I don't want you to die!" "Girl, all you can think of is die,die,die! We're not going to die!" Raimundo said sarcastically. "What makes you think someone is going to die?" I asked. "Sometimes, in my dreams, I get visions of…well." "Whatever, we're here." Raimundo interrupted. "We'll all die if I don't explain to Master Fung why we broke the rules." "I guess." was all I could say.
Raimundo's P.O.V
'Oh man, I'm in for it now.' I knew something was going to happen. "MASTER FUNG! I'm sorry, but I had to. I reversed the mind wipe! But there's a good reason! I feel as if evil is ready to strike and-" "Raimundo, there's no one here." Kimiko poked me as I stopped my rambling. "Oh. Well, then where is everyone?" I asked. Clay came into the dark room. "I found the temple monks." Clay said. I shrugged and we walked towards the vault. "Long time no see, guys." I started. "Welcome back, Dragons. Master Fung and Master Omi are now training at the great Master Monk Guan's Temple." One of them told us. "Awww man, now Guano is gonna kill me too!" I slapped my forehead. 'This is going to be harder than I thought.'
We hopped back into the Silver Manta Ray and soon arrived at Master Monk Guan's Temple. We caught sight of Omi training under the watch of Master Fung and Master Monk Guan. "Alright, I'll go first." I said boldly. The others just shrugged. I guess you could say I was disappointed at their reaction. "Master Fung!" I called out. "Raimundo?" he said in shock. "Bobo, what are you doing here?" Master Monk Guan asked. "I told you not to call me that anymore!" I bowed in respect. "Let me explain. I've been sensing that something evil is going to happen. After the mind wipe, which I missed by the way, I retrieved Kimiko and Clay from their original homes so that we could fight again." I panted. "Let's see, you broke the rules, brought back two monks from what could've been their more peaceful lives, and came back here to tell me that you think you've sensed evil?" "Uh, that about sums it up, sir." Clay answered as he and Kimiko came out.
Omi's P.O.V
'Who are all these strangely attired people? Are they possible new students?' Master Fung responded, "You did the right thing, Raimundo. It was my fault that I didn't sense the evil sooner. I assumed you received my message?" "That's why I came here." the brown-haired teen answered. He turned around to face me. "Hey, little dude. You're still short, Omi." "What? DON"T CALL ME SHORT! Shimo Staff!" "AHHHH!" He started running away from me. The others started to laugh.
I stopped. "I'm sorry. I believed we have not met." I held the pretty girl's hand. "Uh Omi. Sorry, but I'm taken." The brown-haired boy appeared. "This won't hurt a bit." He gave me a mirror. "Master Fung, can I give Omi his memories back?" "Why ask him? You've already done it twice." Dojo said as he appeared out of nowhere. "Thanks, Captain Sarcasm. Now I suggest that everyone leave unless you have a reversing mirror." So everyone left the training grounds except for me and the brown-haired boy. "Okay, say Reversing Mirror after I say Wushen Geyser okay?" "Umm…sure." "Wushen Geyser!" "Reversing Mirror." I shouted. All these memories of those other people flooded in. They weren't just other people they are my friends. Clay, Kimiko, and….uh Bobo?
Raimundo's P.O.V
"Well, did it work?" "I think so, Bobo!" "MY NAME'S RAIMUNDO!" I yelled. "Oh, I am tugging at your ankle, Raimundo." He laughed. "Yay! The same old Omi!" Kimiko ran and hugged him. "Ahhh…another girl hug." He felt happy. I could tell since he blushed. While Clay and Kimiko were catching up with Omi, I had a talk with the Masters. "So you can now listen to the Wind?" Master Fung asked. "Yeah, it seems so."
"We have scout monks that have spotted Chase Young and it seems his army of Jungle Cat/Fallen Warriors has increased by many." "So Chase Young's been busy, I think we can handle them." "I'm also afraid that," Master Monk Guan continued, "Hannibal Roy Bean and Wuya have escaped." "What?" I thought so. "Well, they also have their own armies. But what puzzles us is who would do such a thing?" I listened harder for the wind to tell me something. "Bingo." I answered.
Meanwhile……….
"Free at last." Wuya said. "It feels good huh?" he smiled. "This is our last alliance. We destroy evil now." Chase Young said coming out of the shadows. "And you will help us." Jason, Katnappe, and Jack came out too. "No problem." Jason answered.
Dun dun dun. What's gonna happen? War! duh. Something cools gonna happen in the next chapter. Yes, it has to do with Raimundo. Yes, it's cool. So review to make me update faster. I'm sad when I don't see reviews!
