Wind Blows Fire Away
Chapter 17...The Chase and the Fight
With Kimiko in his arms, Jack ran through the long corridor, trying to get to a certain door. When he reached the end of the corridor, there was a firm door which he pushed a botton to open. He put down Kimiko and closed the door again, then he ran to a small hover car and tried to start it. No go. It must not have been working because this room wasn't connected to the main building's heat.
Jack glanced down at the ground where he had put Kimiko. She was shivering and her eyes stayed close for more than a second. He thought she might be trying to hide tears. Before leaving the hover car, he grabbed a blanket. He then went over to Kimiko and sat her up. Jack dug in his pocket for a pin, then put the blanket around Kimiko, pulling some of it over her head like a hood, then pinned it so it didn't fall down. He again picked up up bridle style and crossed the room to another door. Pushing hard, it opened to reveal a sky and ground full of snow. Jack took a deep breathe and trugged out, leaving the door open behind him.
With Raimundo...
Raimundo ran along the corridor, and at the end, he entered the room. He looked around rapidly, he had seen Jack come in here, but he had no clue where he had gone. When he ran across the room, he saw that the door to outside was open. He looked away slightly. Kimiko had been wearing: a pink turtle short sleeved shirt with a green face on the front, a purple sash, a lighter pink skirt, two red wrist bands on her wrists (one has an alien head on it), furry; blue backpack and knee-high pink and blue boots, with her hair pulled into pigtails with bangs that come across, ponytails that are separated into rectangular strips, red highlights fan out from the hair ties on ponytails and fade to pink, and red highlights also fan out from her part. He thought from what she was wearing, she was litteraly freeze to death, so he crawled into Jack's hover car and pulled out a blanket, then set off in the snowstorm.
'Jack must be crazy to go out in a whiteout! And Kimiko, with what summer clothes she has on she could- no. Come on Rai, pull yourself together, don't think like that! Kimiko can't be- stop! Don't even think about it. Sheesh Rai! If you would just find her, you wouldn't even have to think, you could go back to being stupid and have her laugh at it." Raimundo shook his head slightly, thinking of something different. 'Jack can't do anything but walk, and he has some sense, so he must be walking forward, I still have a chance of catching him!'
Suddenly, Raimundo started to sprint. (as best as he could anyways)
With Clay, Omi and Dojo...
Omi and Clay finished off the last bot together. Clay slid on the ground, kicking the bottom of the bot, and Omi jumped up and kicked the head, so the bottom didn't hit Omi and the head didn't hit Clay. They smiled at each other and stood for a moment. All of a sudden Omi collapsed.
"Omi!" Clay knelt down next to Omi, and Dojo came slithering over.
"Uhh I feel as, like you would say, bad as a turkey on Thanksgiving!"
"Little buddy, we told you not to come, why did you? And how did you get here?" Clay now thought about who had been in the Silver Manta Ray, and remembering Omi stayed in Brazil.
"I came...Because I wanted to help get Kimiko, and I thought you and Raimundo would need help." He chuckled slightly, "And you did. I came with the Wings of Tinabi, and used to Moonstone Chain to wish for something that would keep me warm."
"Kid, we better find something here to keep you warmer!" Dojo said looked at Clay. He nodded and got up, wondering into a room, and saw a bed.
"Bed in here!" he came running back out and picked Omi up, and put him in the bed.
"Thank you Clay," Omi smiled at two of the five people and a dragon that cared for him so much.
"Get some rest partner, we'll wake you when Rai comes back with Kim, promise."
"Yes, I believe that is..." Omi drifted into sleep, and Dojo chuckled.
"Now what?" Dojo asked.
"We wait." Clay answered back.
With Jack and Kimiko...
Jack pulled the blanket over Kimiko face even more. He shook his head, knowing that being out here wasn't good for anyone. In the back of his mind, something said that Raimundo was behind him, but he decided to ignore it. Since there was a snowstorm, close to a white out, Jack had no clue where he was going. Although he was evil, he never really intended on killing anyone. He gave up on it after his Jack-bots did no good. 'If only, there was a place that was straight ahead of my hide-out, this could have been easier!' he sigh, moving his head, so his scarf cuddled closer to his face.
He looked down at Kimiko whose eyes were closed. Jack sigh again, "Fine you win." He pulled the Third Arm Sash off of Kimiko waist and looked down at her again. She only had the tangle web come around her, which was a bad thing, and a good thing. Suddenly, the rope started to shift, and Jack put Kimiko in a standing position, but he still held on to her. 'No, she achieved absolute focus! She could try to run, but where does she have to go?'
As the ropes came off Kimiko, she almost fell over into the snow if Jack hadn't been holding on to her. She smiled a little and blinked furiously. To her surprise, Jack once again picked her up bridle style and pulled the blanket over her.
She sigh, "Jack, you know you can't keep running away with me in your arms right?"
"Hey I'm not-"
"Yes you are Jack! You know I want to run backwards to Raimundo, you know he's behind us, but I'm only staying with you because you have a blanket."
Jack didn't answer, but he knew it was true. He wanted to keep Kimiko away from Raimundo as long as possible, just because he liked Sam.
"You know, Sam most likely actually liked you, but she wanted Raimundo because she made a mistake, and someone else had him."
She was saying the truth all along, she knew it and Jack knew it. He sigh and put her down, then he looked at her with sad, small eyes. Kimiko looked down, letting down her guard, then all of a sudden she heard someone's voice.
"Tangle Web Comb! Third-Arm Sash!" Kimiko was taken by surprise when Jack wrapped her up again, then he picked her up once again bridle style and started marching through the snow faster than before. He made sure she was covered with the blanket enough, then quickly glanced at her eyes. They were filled with tears. Tears of a mixture of anger and sadness. He could hear her muffled screams, that still seemed to be pretty loud, then her muffled worlds that he could make out.
"Jack! ... idiot! Let .. go! Jack!"
"Sorry Kimiko, if you said what I think you said, then nope, not with that mouth!" he smirked as Kimiko's eyes narrowed.
Kimiko tried at least to get the rope off of her, but Jack's force was to strong, so instead she focused on getting it off her mouth so she could chew Jack out. She closed her eyes and cleared the angry storm in her mind, then she imagined the rope coming off her mouth only.
Sudden the rope started to shift, and Jack's eyes got wide.
"There. Jack you idiot! Let me go! I can't believe you would go this low! You already kidnapped me once, why again!"
"We already went over that Kimiko."
"I don't care, tell me again you idiot!"
"Nah, I don't think I will!" he kept on walking and blocked out her yelling. The snow started to get heavier now and Jack was slowing down, plus he was making sure Kimiko was covered at all times. When Jack took another step, the snow only went up to a little over his ankles, but at the bottom he felt something very strange. 'What is that, it's hard and slip-oh no. Ice!"
With Raimundo...
The snow had gotten heavier since Raimundo had started to sprint, so it was more like a speed walk now. He was getting tired, but he wouldn't fail Clay, Dojo, Omi, Kimiko's father, her friend Keiko, himself and especially, Kimiko. He wasn't going to let Jack keep Kimiko away from all of her friends and family. He was going to find her, and it was going to be soon, but Jack could put up a fight. 'Who knows what Jack might have, I should check what Shen-Gong-Wu I have." Raimundo had just remember had slipped a backpack on, so that they could have some sort of clothes, because the others were bound to get wet. He also snuck some food in the bag, along with a couple Shen-Gong-Wu.
Raimundo let the backpack slide of his shoulders, then he grabbed it from the deep snow. Pondering around in in the bag he dug out a chocolate bar and ripped the rapper open, holding the frozen chocolate in his mouth, he saw at the bottom his two wu. He had the Sword of the Storm and the Weapon of Wielding. He half smiled, then took out both, shutting the bag quickly so no more snow got in.
With his teeth and tongue, he put the chocolate bar fully in his mouth and started to walk again. 'I'm going to find you Kimiko, if it's the last thing I do. He was getting quite cold by now, and couldn't feel his fingers, ears and toes, but he knew he would be warm once he wrapped his arms around the girl of his dreams. Just as he began to smile and day dream, in the very distance, he saw a black figure, with flaming red at the top, and it looked like he was carrying something. Or maybe someone...
"Jack Spicer!" Raimundo called out, only for the snow to muffle it to a stop about six feet ahead of him. He started to run, tripping occationaly, although not falling over, but still running.
With Omi, Clay and Dojo...
"You really going to wake Omi up when Raimundo and Kimiko come back?" Dojo asked. He was on Clay's hat, scouting for a door that they could open to get to a kitchen.
"Yep, otherwhise he'll get mad. You should know that!" Clay was also looking around for a door.
"There!"
"Huh? Oh, uhh right!" Clay walked over to the door and pressed the botton to open it, just to reveal a huge kitchen.
"Whoa!" they both said at once. Clay put Dojo down on a counter and walked to the fridge. Soon after he looked into the fridge, he came out with a whole bounch of left overs Jack's mother must have made for him. Dojo had found things in cupboards, and on the counters, so they put all the food together into five different plates for Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, and themselves. For Omi, they had a bowl of chinese rice, a vegitarian burger and a glass of goat milk. For Kimiko they put on a tray, a very small, square tray full of sushi, some chicken with cheese melted over it, and a glass of moutain dew, For Raimundo, they put, a piece of peporoni pizza, a hotdog and a glass of Dr. Peper. Clay made himself a plate of steak and potatoes, along with a glass of home made orange juice. Then Dojo filled his plate with egg rolls and fried fish, along with a glass of rootbeer.
Clay and Dojo smiled at their work and put the plates and glasses on a tray to bring back to the main room. As Clay walked back he got a very odd feeling something bad was going to happen to Raimundo and or Kimiko, but he just couldn't pin it. He glanced at Dojo who was on his shoulder, and he could tell, Dojo was getting the same vibe.
Once they got back to the room, they saw Omi sitting looking at the entrance they had just come on, he was wrapped up in several blankets and looked very tired. But his mood suddenly shatter into rays of happiness when he saw Clay and Dojo.
"Where were you? Why did you leave me here alone?"
"We were in the kitchen-" Clay started.
"And we were in the kitchen, because we were getting food for everyone." Dojo finished.
"But-but! There are five plates! And only 3 of us!" Omi blinked rapidly in confusion. "Oh, my head hurts. I am most confused!"
"The two others are for Rai and Kim when they get back." Clay said, handing Dojo and Omi their plates, then picked up his. Then they all went and sat down on a couch. As they talked, Kimiko and Raimundo were brought up several times. Like if the would be back together, or if they killed Jack Spicer together, things like that.
Even though they were all talking happily, the vibes of something bad happening, didn't go away.
With Jack and Kimiko...
"Any reason why you stopped?" Kimiko asked with an annoyed tone.
"Uhh, well the snow only went up to my ankles. And there's ice. From the looks of it, not very sturdy."
"Well unless you're weight is on the higher end, we aren't going to break the ice."
"I-I don't know," Jack looked at the ground, his eyes full of question.
"Just go!" Kimiko screamed, snapping Jack back to reality. Just as he was about to take another step, they heard a voice, calling out one and only one thing.
"KIMIKO!"
"Raimundo!"
"Raimundo!"
"Yes you idiot! Raimundo!"
"Kimiko!"
"Kimiko!" Jack snapped, as she strugged to get free.
"Jack! Stop, let go!" Jack was now giving Kimiko a very tight bearhug.
"Spicer! Get your hands off of her!" Raimundo was still a good15 feet away, but it didn't stop him from trying to help Kimiko.
As Raimundo finally got in reach of Jack, who was still giving Kimiko the bearhug, he grabbed the back of Jack's coat, the ripped his arms off of Kimiko, making her fall onto the ice.
"Sword of the Storms!" Raimundo called out, aiming for Jack.
"Third-Arm Sash!" Jack shot back, letting go of Kimiko and aiming at the Sword of the Storms. Fortunatly for Jack, it got to the sword before the storm could reach Jack, but it sweeped the snow off the ice, making it very slippery.
Kimiko closed her eyes, and gained total focus, getting the rope off of her, but she couldn't fight, she was just too cold. Instead, she sat to the side, trying to think of a way to help.
By now most of the Shen-Gong-Wu had been kicked to the side, or grabbed and thrown to the side. Raimundo now had no wu, and Jack had the Weapon of Wielding, although he couldn't shoot out an element, because it was half frozen. It was frozen in the form of a bo staff.
Kimiko watched in amazment. Here this wonderful guy, Raimundo Pedrosa, was fighting to save her. And Jack Spicer was surprisingly good at fighting with just a bo staff. She now knew she had feeling back in her legs, so she got up and went over to help Raimundo, but just as she started fighting, something happened. Something big.
With Omi and Clay...
"They have been gone for a very long time!" Omi sigh watching the door, waiting for Raimundo and Kimiko to walk through it.
"Well it's practicly a whiteout outside, so it could take a while to get back," Clay stated also watching the door. Both of them sigh in unision.
"Anyone else get the weird feeling something bad is going to happen to Kimiko, Raimundo and Jack?"
"Wow, I thought I was the only one!" Clay and Omi said together.
"Good, then it's not only me!" Dojo chuckled looking back at the door.
