Wind Blows Fire Away

Chapter 16...Failing the Mission

The next morning Raimundo woke up to someone screaming. It was Omi, and he could see Dojo and Clay woke up too.

"Omi? What's wrong Partner?" They all crawled to the mat where Omi was sitting up breathing heavily. Raimundo put his hand to Omi's forehead.

"He's got a fevor..." he trailed off as he saw the worry in everyones eyes, and the panic filling Omi's. That along with tears.

"Fevor? You mean I am sick? I have a sickly disease!" Omi looked from Raimundo to Clay to Dojo then back to Raimundo.

"You don't have a disease kid, you're just sick." Dojo chuckled at Omi's reaction.

"But that does mean that I cannot..." he never finished his sentence instead, his face drooped and his eyes got wide, tears rimming the bottom.

"It's Alaska Omi, it won't be good for you," Clay put a hand on Omi's shoulder.

"I do not care! I wish to go and when I wish to go that means I am going!" Everyone could tell Omi was really upset. He was always on cloud nine whenever he recieved a hug from her. She always stuck up for him, and to Omi, that meant a lot, being that he didn't have a very good tongue for slang.

"Omi-" Dojo began to try and calm him down.

"No! I refuse to listen!" he got up and ran out of the room. Everyone looked at eachother, then scrambled out the door after him.

"Omi come on! You have a fever!" Raimundo yelled after him.

Omi sigh, he knew that they were waisting time arguing with him, so he sat down. When the others caught up, there was complete silence for a moment as they caught their breathe.

"Omi, now come on Little Partner, you can't go."

There was no reply. "Okay Omi, we're going to get somethings ready and in five minutes we are going to leave," Raimundo told him, then they all left Omi sitting on the floor. He stared straight forward, and waited.

Raimundo packed up some clothes, Clay packed some food and Dojo went to his secret hiding spot to get the Silver Manta Ray. They all met back at Omi, who was still staring forward, sitting down on the ground.

"Okay Omi, we're going to leave. Wish us luck!"

"Good luck," he said blankley.

Clay sigh and they all walked out, but as soon as they were out of sight from the window, Omi ran back to the room. He poked in Kimiko's bag looking for the Moonstone Chain, then looked in Dojo's secret Shen-Gong-Wu spot and took the Wings of Tinabi. Once he found both of them, he got a little food and got some snow gear.

"Moonstone Chain!" He yelled hooking it around his neck, he closed his eyes and muttered his wish. "I wish I had all the things I need for traveling to Alaska, including a place to put my food without it getting in my way, and something to make sure I stay warm at all times since I am sick." He picked up his food, and it started to glow. He was then wearing a packback with all the food plus a heating mat inside. He smiled and called, "Wing of Tinabi!"

"Haha!" Omi always loved using the Wing's of Tinabi, but he also had to watch out. He needed to stay far enough being the Silver Manta Ray to make sure him and his rainbow path were not seen.

With Kimiko and Jack...

Not to Kimiko's surprise she got no breakfast, but she was happy she didn't find Jack outside that room. She walked quietly out of the bedroom and looked around. When she turned to her left she saw robots, when she turned to her right she saw some more of Jack's junk and straight infront of her was a huge, flat-screen T.V. with dance pads hooked up to it. Her eyes widened, and she squealed. Running over to it she noticed there were two pads, and two bars you could attach to the pad (like the ones in arcades). As she hooked up a bar to each dancepad, even though she didn't know who would play with her, she hated seeing things unperfect, she turned on the t.v. This had been one of her alltime favorite games, but having it on this big of a T.V. was crazy!

Little did Kimiko know, Jack had been watching what she was doing and was quite pleased. He hurried down and opened the door just as she was about to start. She jumped at the sight of him.

"Need a partner?" Jack smiled, his eyes slimming.

Kimiko sigh, as though she had just surrendered the fight, without it even starting, "Fine, if you really want to."

"Cool. Oh and I have to warn you, I'm the champion at this game!"

"Get ready to cough up that title Spicer, because I've been playing since I was four!"

As it started, Jack stood normaly, "Wha?...Hey!" Kimiko giggled as he struggled to find the beat, although he was doing good, Kimiko was kicking Jack's butt.

"Oh man!" Jack groaned as Kimiko won the first game. She had been better than he thought.

"Cool!" Kimiko cheered as she won.

"Grr."

Little did both of them know, some very familiar people were approaching Jack's hide out.

With Raimundo, Clay and Dojo...

"I feel bad leaving Omi behind," Raimundo sigh.

"Don't worry about it Rai, he was sick, we couldn't have possibly taken him," Clay told him, trying to cheer him up.

"Okay where do we look?" Dojo asked, changing the subject.

"Well this is Jack, he would want a place to get away easily," Clay noticed.

As they all looked at the map once again, Raimundo pointed something out. "Guys, look, only the western half of Alaska is circled!"

"And look here, it's not a normal circle, there's a small mark by the edge of the circle."

"A dot!" Clay pointed.

"Thanks for pointing it out Captain Obvious! Let's head for it and check it out!" Raimundo instructed.

With Omi...

Omi sigh, he wondered what was going on in the Silver Manta Ray, but just as he thought this, he saw the Manta Ray shifting course. He wasn't sure where they were going, but he intended to follow carefuly.

It had been about 30 minutes later, and by now Omi was very cold. He was shivering, sneezing and sniffling, but he kept going. As his friends' transportation landed, Omi landed behind a tree and took out his heating mat. Then he curled up inside of it, deciding that it would be best if he stayed back until he knew what Raimundo, Clay and Dojo were going to do. For the first time he noticed they had landed by a snow-covered building, so he thought they were on to something. He poked his head out from behind the tree and saw them trying to sneek to the passage, which stuck out quite easily.

Omi sigh, he got up and put the backpack on his back, but he still had the mat around him, he stayed just inside the door to make sure his friends were in trouble before he went barging in.

With Raimundo, Dojo and Clay...

Raimundo, Dojo and Clay had found a building and were now inside, going down a large corridor trying every room. Most were locked, and the ones that were open were empty. Everyone was keeping silent and making sure they didn't blow their cover. If this was were Kimiko was hiding, then they only had one shot, and they didn't intend on blowing it.

They finally came to a strange door. One that you press a botton from the outside and it will open. Just as they were about to press the botton, they heard a huge noise coming from above them, that made them all jump back. Everyone looked up just to see a sunroof with a whole bounch of snow blowing onto it, making a loud, echoing noise. Clay and Dojo were breathing heavily, but when they looked at Raimundo, all they saw was a smirk on his face.

Raimundo went to the botton once again and pressed it. The door opened quickly and walked inside. Everything was dead except for the ocational 'Player 2 Wins!' sound coming from a huge T.V. They all sigh, as the tension began to fade, until out of no where, huge amouts of Jack-bots were coming out, armed with lazers waiting for an order to frie Raimundo, Clay and Dojo, now in Clays hat.

"Oh crap!" Raimundo whispered.

"You said it," Clay answered back.

Just then another door opened and Kimiko came out staring.

"Raimundo!"

"Kimiko!" he tried to move forward the about five of the Jack-bots went infront of him. As Kimiko tried to step forward Jack came out from a different door, smirking.

"Haha! I finally found a way to get all the- wait, where's the dome head?"

"He's sick! And he's not a dome head!" Raimundo spat. "I thought you wanted all the Shen-Gong-Wu for Kimiko's return!"

"I knew you wouldn't, and I knew you would go snooping in my house for something, so I put a map there. I am shocked you figured it out though!" he chuckled to himself.

"We aren't as stupid as you Jack, it wasn't hard, it just took a little time!" Raimundo snapped back. Jack stopped chuckling and glared. "Jack-bot! Attack!"

"Raimu-" Kimiko's scream for Raimundo was cut short. She looked to her left to see Jack had used the Tangle Web Comb on her. She closed her eyes and tried to get focused, but she couldn't because she knew Raimundo, Clay and Dojo were in danger, and they were in danger for her.

"Typhoon boom, wind!"

"Seismic kick, earth!"

Just when things started to look bad, a yellow, round ball flew through the door, "Tornado strike, water!"

"Aww man! Ah well, it's time to get out of here. Third-Arm Sash!" He aimed it at Kimiko, and it dragged her over, she was now tied up in the Third-Arm Sash and the Tangle Web Comb, but she couldn't get free. Jack picked Kimiko up bridle style, and ran through the door he came in, and Kimiko lost sight of what was happening to her friends, but especialy...Raimundo.

Almost all the bots were gone now, but everyone had noticed Jack took Kimiko. They all would have gone after her, but there was no way to get to the door from where they were, so they stayed and fought quickly.

"Raimundo! You must go get Kimiko, Clay and I will take care of the Jack-bots, we shall run up to you!"

"Thanks Omi!" Raimundo didn't bother correcting him, but just thanked him for being there. If it wasn't for Omi being so stubborn, Raimundo might have never gotten the chance to get Kimiko. They could have all been dead if it wasn't for Omi.

Raimundo had lost Kimiko once. He had broke her heart, and now it was his fault she was with Jack. If he had talked to her when she tried to forgive him, none of this would have happened. None of it. He didn't intend chasing Jack half way around the world for her, instead, he was going to get her back, and not let her slip though his fingers once again. And he really, really meant it.
