So Cold...

"Master, I sense Wuya has broken her seal"

"..."

"I couldn't tell her the truth... What I told her was enough"

"..."

"Yes. I suppose it is selfless."

"..."

"Yes, Sue is outside"

"..."

"I understand"

"They stole our Shen Gong Wu!"

"Only some"

"Light and Mind, the thieving-"

"What happened?" asked Dojo

"I'll explain" said Omi, and he began to tell the story of the Shen Gong

Raimundo was walking around the temple grounds; he had been excluded from the discussion about the Shen Gong.

"Hello Raimundo"

Raimundo turned round and saw Li crouched in a tree.

"What do you want Li?" said Raimundo, pointing his Golden Tiger Claws at Li

"I have come with an offer"

"What?"

"The lightening which you lost"

Raimundo said nothing and looked to the ground

"It was the only thing keeping you strong, sure it took you to the Heylin Side, but it made you strong"

"I'm still strong" shouted Raimundo as he leapt at Li, Li raised his hand and there was a blue flash which knocked Raimundo back down. He stayed down.

"That didn't hurt you, but you are still too weak to fight. The wind causes you to feel weak, but the lightening made you want to prove yourself. The spirit of lightening is still in you, no matter how faint"

"What do you suggest I do?"

"Remove the wind"

"How?"

"Break the seal"

They both gasped and grasped themselves.

"You sense it too?" asked Li

"What?"

"Two Shen Gong Wu are revealing themselves. The Reviving Scale and the Fusion Cuffs"

"The what?"

"One revives someone from the dead, but only if they died within the last day and it can only revive once per day. The Fusion Cuffs lets two creatures become one"

"How do you know?"

"I have been taught to sense Shen Gong Wu, I used to only get a small feeling, but by using Jack's technology I have perfected it. Anyway, you had better get going, they will come looking for you"

Raimundo looked round, and when he looked back Li was gone.

"Tom, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown" said Sue "My Lord of the Flies against your Shadow of Fear for the Reviving Scale. The showdown is Mind Battle"

"I accept"

"Let's go Xiaolin Showdown"

A few meters away.

"Raimundo I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." Said Ashley "My Shard of Lightening against your Golden Tiger Claws, the game is pin-tag. First to pin their opponent for three seconds wins"

"I accept, let's go Xiaolin Showdown"

"Lord of the Flies, Darkness"

"Mental Realm, Mind"

The mental attack of the flies took on the form of shadows inside Tom's mind. Sue stood on giant white marble overlooking the battle on a giant slab of white marble.

With each punch Tom's mental image of himself was deformed. The shadows continually attacked, him, he looked up at Sue and saw he wasn't the only one becoming deformed, Sue was starting to look demon-like. Tom leapt in the air, out of the hold of the shadowy creatures, he swung for Sue but a massive dark figure blocked him and he fell into it. He reached through it and grabbed Sue by the hair, the figure vanished and they both fell on the white slab. Shadows started to attack them both. Tom looked over to Sue; she was standing silently with her eyes closed as shadows went through her, causing her to look repulsive. Tom couldn't see how she did it; she even seemed to be enjoying it. He felt week.

"DARKNESS!" screamed Sue, and the shadows attacking her surrounded her, there was an evil glare in her eyes. And darkness shot from her body as it turned to its demon-like form and the darkness struck Tom. He fell unconscious and there was a flash and Sue had won the showdown.

"Shard of Lightening. Shard of Lightening. Shard of Lightening"

Ashley was looking for Raimundo through the over grown bamboo.
"Golden Tiger Claws" he whispered, and he opened a portal which came just next to the Shard of lightening, it was small enough to reach the claws through. He caught the Shard between the prongs of his claws.

"Shard of Lightening!" shouted Ashley

With this Raimundo, who was technically touching the Shard, flipped it into the air, widened the portal and jumped through. He then jumped in the air, grabbed the Shard, and as time returned to normal...

"Shard of Lightening"

"1...2...3" said Dojo, the referee, when time returned to normal.

Raimundo focused his thoughts as the world returned to normal. His seal broke.

Revivo, the Reviving Scale appeared a few meters away from him. The Golden Tiger Claws and Shard of Lightening also came to life.

"Revivo" muttered Revivo and Dashi appeared before them in a flash of green lightening.

Wuya ran over to him.

"Where's everyone else gone?" Asked Raimundo, he had probably been focusing his energy for a minute or two and stared at the Dashi/Wuya thing for a minute or two, but now everyone was gone.

"They were taken" said a Golden Weretiger

"Where?"

"I saw Nature and Cosmos take the Light and Darkness a few seconds ago"
"Who are you?"

"Rai, the Golden Tiger Claws"

"I'm Raimundo. Where exactly did they go? Cosmos opened a wormhole; I could sense a lot of elements on the other side... I know where it is"

"Where? Can you take me there?"

"There is a problem. In 'there' a Shen Gong's power is weakened. I can't even open a portal to 'there' but I could take you as far as I can through a portal"

"Thank you"

"It's nothing; I am sworn to protect your family"

"My family?"

"I'll explain on the way"

"So Dashi was a Shen Gong. Wuya had two guardian elements given to her by the Hunter. And if a Shen Gong wages himself in a showdown, if he loses he turns to a Shen Gong Wu, which is what the Hunter did." Said Dojo, very puzzled.

"Exactly. When Dashi was finally caught eh had already built up a name for himself by hiding the Wu and beating Wuya. Of course Wuya's elements were spread. The thing about the elements is that there has always been a bloodline between the elements, no matter how watered down, every element is related to one of the original elements. And there is always a pattern. Lightening always helps the Heylin side. Ice is always rebellious, and only gets their element from Water losing his secondary element. The divide has only happened once before, but it was with the original elements." Explained Li, quite peaceful inside his Aura/Wood Bubble.

"Wow"

"There's more, however I won't tell you until we're free"

"How do we get free?"

"This energy bubble needs both the plant and aura part to stay as it is. The moonstone locust could break us out, unfortunately it is on that desk" he said nodding to the desk with all the Shen Gong Wu on it. If the Shen Gong were to be free I'm sure he would be able to destroy the plant part"

"Why can't Kimiko just burn it?

"Because the aura is on the inside part, while the plant is the outer structure, he fire doesn't get through the aura. Anyway the Shen Gong would probably get through if Earth broke its seal"

"Why earth?"

"It's slightly more probable, as it's an earth Shen Gong. All Clay has to do is focus on it."

"Don't do it Clay"

"If you don't we won't be freed, you will be killed and your elements given to other people, who may use them for evil, if you break the seal, your element can't be passed on"

"I see"

"Dashi, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown for Revivo. If I win you are both turned to your Shen Gong Wu forms"

"But if I win" said Dashi, your element is transferred to me, and you become the Eye of Wuya and are given my Shen Gong power, also Revivo is turned to his Wu form.

"Don't I get a say in this" said the scaly creature

"No. The showdown is a lightening war"

"I accept, let's go Xiaolin Showdown"

"What's that mist?"

"It's the magical barrier, we are deep underground here"

"Let's go"

They stepped through it.

The earth seal was broken and several Shen Gong on the table were freed, the Ying-Yang Yo-Yos, the Moonstone Locust, the Sapphire Dragon. Unfortunately it was at this time Cosmos and Nature returned. The Shen Gong tried to attack, but strangely they couldn't. Cosmos and Nature looked at each other, and then decided to attack.

Lightening flew about the field, then two powerful beams met, they forced against each other, but they were evenly matched in strength.

The Shen Gong were getting their butts kicked.

"Free us, we can help" said Li through the aura. Moonstone Locust focused his energy and released a small swarm of locusts at Li's bubble, the Shen Gong was then hit in the back by a blast and he vaporized. Cosmos leapt onto the desk and got out the Thorn of thunderbolt, he fired it at all the Shen Gong and after a few blasts they were all gone. Li fired ice at him and he fell over, dropping the thorn. Tom, who had used his element to break free telekinetically, moved the Thorn into his hand. He fired at Zoey, who leapt on the desk, grabbed the Kuzusu atom and fired at the Thorn of Thunderbolt; there was a large explosion as a Shen Gong died. Li leapt at Zoey, and kicked her off the desk, and she dropped the atom.

"Metal attack, mind"

"Reversing Mirror" said Li, quickly picking up the mirror as Tom had turned on him. Li saw Tom being bullied as a child for being a freak. Li, for a moment felt empathy. But it melted away (or rather froze) and he raised a hand which glowed blue. Tom felt very cold and he dropped to the floor.

"This will get cold enough to kill you" he said walking over to Tom. "Unless you destroy your seal I shall destroy you"

The seal was broken, but it grew colder still. Li had no expression on his face.

"Li!" screamed Sue, and managed to somehow (either due to the fact that Zoey and Wilds were unconscious, or her will-power was so strong) burst through the bubble and leap into Li. They fell on the floor. Sue ran over to check on Tom.

"He's dead"
