Night of the Scorpion

Omi laid on his back, staring at the black sky. Though the rain had ceased the clouds remained, as though a reminder of the storm that had recently attacked the mountain. But now there was a quiet peace, with only the wind blowing. It was over. Omi suddenly felt very cold, not just because of the numbing force of bursting out his cocoon, but because night had come without them realizing it. He shivered and felt something shaking against his chest. He looked down and pulled a small grey block from his robes. He stared at it, not recognizing it as the item Dashi had passed to him not many hours ago. Azo, on the other hand, recognized it instantly. She struggled and managed to slip out of her silk prison which Jack had managed to cut open. She crawled over to Omi; the Shen Gong didn't seem to notice or care. She grabbed the item.

"Reviving Scale!" she cried and a green bolt of lightening shot from it and hit Li's block of ice. The ice cracked and he opened his eyes. Then he lifted his arms and comets of ice shot out across the mountain. Omi and Azo dropped the Scale and rolled aside as a chunk of ice hit the Shen Gong emerging from it and destroyed it. The two troll like Shen Gong were knocked backwards by the ice, and fell extremely close to the edge of the cliff. The ground beneath them slid away and they toppled down the mountain.

Li landed on the ground. The Hero Badge started to shine and he quickly pulled it off him and crushed it inside his clenched fist. He tapped Scorpio on the shoulder with the Dragon Spear, which was rumbling as the Shen Gong inside tried to break free. The Dragon Spear started to glow.

"Scorpio I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. No Shen Gong Wu will be wagered; instead it will have the Heylin Showdown twist... We wager our lives. Six on six all off us healed to our peak condition for the Showdown. It's king of the mountain. Last man standing wins"
"I accept" said the humanoid scorpion. "I choose Crys, Yao, Silky, Scythe, Con and Maljong to fight by my side"

"I choose the elements: Me, Jack, Omi, Raimundo, Azo and Sue"

"Let's go Xiaolin Showdown"

The monks were returned to full health and their silk bindings were destroyed. The bladed creature returned with Silky, the Shen Gong from the Elemental Crown, Mind Reader Conch, Crystal Glasses and the Heart of Jong. The two sides faced each other.

"Gong Yi Tan Pai"

Yao shot fire at the elements. Omi countered with a tsunami of water, which Yao countered with ice, freezing it. Sue leapt at Yao and kicked him in the chest, pushing him back slightly. Silky shot balls of silk at the elements, who leapt out of the way. Jack fired metal spears at Silky, who ran out the way. Scythe went for Raimundo, who managed to avoid all of his attacks.

"Wind form" whispered Raimundo and turned into a wind form of himself, he was only noticeable because of the slight haze he caused where his human body should be. Scythe sliced at him, but to no avail.

"I may be weak, but I can still beat you" said Raimundo and gave him a kick with the power of a hurricane and knocked him back. Azo and Omi attacked Crys and Con, who saw all their attacks coming and just blocked them. Li ran at Scorpio and jumped. He delivered a kick to his chest, but Scorpio rolled backwards ands got back to his feet, and then threw himself at Li, knocking him down. Their attacks went on, doing damage and recovering.

Azo passed Sue his sword, but Crys intercepted it, and caught it. He then ran at Azo and sliced and stabbed at her. She tried to dodge but was knocked off the mountain, in a bloody heap. Con was too busy reading Omi's next move, and didn't hear Raimundo's thoughts as he brought his now solid fist down into Con's head. He punched and kicked the mind-reading Shen Gong until he forced a gust of wind to carry the Shen Gong off the mountain.

Li and Sue had changed who they were meant to be attacking. Li now had no element (his resurrection didn't give him his lost element) so Yao couldn't use it against him. Unfortunately Sue was losing to Scorpio, she was pinned down by him, and he brought his tail over his head and got ready to bring it down. Omi and Raimundo screamed and ran over to them.

"Tsunami Kamikaze!" shouted both of them in union and Omi turned to water, and Raimundo to wind, they wrapped around each other and shot at Scorpio in one beam of elemental energy. Crys had already seen this coming and leapt in the way, and then he saw his own future, and the future of the showdown. There was an explosion of water and wind. Crys exploded and a gust of wind went through Scorpio and turned into and injured Raimundo, with the remains of the Xiaolin robes. Omi didn't turn back. Raimundo climbed to his feet and looked at Scorpio, who was staring right at him. Shadow tentacles came out of Sue's back and threw Scorpio off her. Scythe leapt at Raimundo and they engaged in combat once more. Sue ran over to Azo's sword and passed it to Li who quickly plunged it into Yao, who staggered backwards and fell off the mountain.

Raimundo was losing his battle with Scythe. He had been weakened from the Tsunami Kamikaze attack, and couldn't turn back to wind form, he just backed away and dodged the jabs. Eventually he found himself against a corner of the peak. Scythe took a jab at him and he leapt in the air and managed to land on Scythe, but Scythe toppled forward and they both fell off the mountain and in a flash were out off the showdown. Silky shot silk balls at the elements. Li ducked under a ball, only to turn round and see it had hit Jack in the back, who had been fighting Scorpio. Scorpio stared at Jack's cocoon, and then threw it off the mountain. Tentacles of darkness and strings of silk met, and became entangled. Silky received an order from Scorpio and leapt off the mountain and pulled Sue down with it. Li faced Scorpio. Their fists met, and pulled away. Again, they met, and pulled away. Neither side showed it but they were feeling the burden of the fight. Scorpio leapt at Li.

"Repulse the monkey!" Shouted Li, and fell on his own back and kicked Scorpio off him while rolling over. Scorpio flew off the mountain. There was a flash and it was all over.
