Night of the Sapphire Dragon
Dojo brought the group to a volcano on a remote island. It was active, so they had to be extremely careful. Since they didn't have the scroll with them, they didn't know what Shen-Gong-Wu they were looking for.
Neither did Jack or Max, but that didn't stop them from trying to get the Shen-Gong-Wu first. They found it inside the volcano, sitting on a pillar of solid magma, surrounded by the lava in the volcano. The rumbling of the volcano caused the monks to fall inside. Thankfully, they were able to use the blankets they brought with them as parachutes and the intense heat kept them afloat. Clay's backpack fell in the lava. Within it was a bottle of hot sauce made from his grandpappy's recipe. When the sauce came into contact with the lava, it create an explosion and as if by some miracle, gave the monks the push they needed to get back outside the rim of the opening.
Jack and Max were about to get away with the Shen-Gong-Wu, but Omi caught up to them using the Mantis Flip Coin to jump from the volcano and grab then Shen-Gong-Wu in Jack's hand. The only way to settle this now was to have a Xiaolin Showdown. They would race around the volcanic pit and the first one to catch the Shen-Gong-Wu would be declared the winner. Jack wagered the Falcon's Eye for Omi's Mantis Flip Coin.
It was easy for Jack to get around thanks to his heli-pack while Omi had to be careful to avoid the splashing lava and not fall into the pit. Jack decided to cheat by pulling out a gun that shot green slime, trapping Omi on the solid rock he was standing on. Jack was about to get the Shen-Gong-Wu, but it slipped from his grasp and landed in Omi's teeth, making him the winner.
The Shen-Gong-Wu was a dragon covered in soot, making it hard to tell what kind it was. When the monks returned to the temple and looked through the scroll containing the records of every known Shen-Gong-Wu in existence, they found no references.
Later that evening, as Kimiko was spending her time on the web on her computer, she was curious about the dragon. As she was inspecting it, the soot rubbed off on her fingers and to her surprise, the dragon came to life and attacked her. Dojo heard screaming and wondered what was going on, but when he saw Kimiko, he was horrified to see that she was frozen stiff and blue like sapphire.
Master Fung gathered his fellow monks together in the meditation room hoping to use their spiritual power to find leads on the attacker. The rest of the young monks decided to split up and look around the temple grounds. As Clay was looking around with Dojo, they thought they saw an enemy. But it was just a little field mouse. Dojo felt embarrassed for being so afraid and for not being so strong. Raimundo even made fun of him earlier today for not being able to breathe fire. But Clay figured he knew how to ignite the fire in his dragon friend. He gave Dojo one of his extra bottles containing his grandpappy's hot sauce.
Just then, Dojo saw a large shadow over them. He ran scared, but as Clay turned around and gasped in horror, blue fire struck him and put him in the same suspended state as Kimiko. Dojo managed to get a glimpse of the attacker. It was a large blue dragon. He found the others and told them what happened.
It turned out that the soot-coated dragon from the volcano was the dangerous Sapphire Dragon. When activated, it could turn its victims into sapphire and render them immobile. Somehow, everyone had to stop the Sapphire Dragon and turn everyone else back to normal.
Emily and the boys were about to tell Master Fung what they had found out, but came to the meditation room to find him and his fellow monks turned into sapphire too. If they didn't stop this soon, the Sapphire Dragon would leave the temple and turn everyone else in the world into its victims.
Finally, they found the Sapphire Dragon. Raimundo tried to fight it off to buy his friends some time to escape, but being a Shen-Gong-Wu, the Sapphire Dragon wasn't flesh and blood. It was as hard as steel. Raimundo found that out when he attacked the Dragon and only ended up hurting himself. Emily saw that Raimundo was too weak to move and tried to help him, but the Sapphire Dragon attacked them both. Omi was aghast to see more of his friends fall victim to the Sapphire Dragon's power. If he couldn't fight it, maybe he could trap it. He used his martial arts skills to attack the ceiling, making it collapse on the Dragon. He thought he was triumphant, but as he turned his back, the Sapphire Dragon emerged from the rubble and attacked.
Just as Dojo began to weep for his friends, he saw that they were no longer immobile. Much to his horror, everyone who was attacked by the Sapphire Dragon began moving. The victims had now become servants. Dojo didn't want to fight, but he didn't want to meet the same fate as his friends. Under the Sapphire Dragon's control, Omi grabbed Dojo, but the dragon freed himself by exhaling smoke in his face. Irritated, Omi lost his grip.
Now Dojo was beginning to understand why the Sapphire Dragon was hidden in the crater of the volcano. He figured if he could cover the Sapphire Dragon in soot again, the spell would be broken and everyone would return to normal. He changed his size and grew large. He tried to breathe fire at the Sapphire Dragon, but it only came out as smoke. The Sapphire Dragon's smoke from its own flame overpowered the attack. Dojo shrank again and withdrew himself from the fight. He didn't have enough power, but he had an idea on how to ignite the fire inside. He went to Clay's chamber and found the crate containing bottles of his grandpappy's recipe of hot sauce.
The Sapphire Dragon was about to leave the temple with its army, but Dojo challenged it one more time. He wasted no time and drank the two bottles he carried. Having grown impatient of Dojo's efforts, the Sapphire Dragon breathed its fire at him again. But at the last second, an explosive fire emerged from Dojo and engulfed the Sapphire Dragon. Defeated, the Dragon was a back to the way it was before it was activated. And the others were back to normal too.
The young monks put the Sapphire Dragon below the shrine where it wouldn't cause any more trouble. "The Sapphire Dragon will trouble us no more," said Omi.
Dojo figured Raimundo owed him an apology. "Let's you and me start things off. Okay, I'd hate to admit it, but-?"
Raimundo sighed and finished, "I'd hate to admit it, but Dojo totally saved the day."
"More than that, you saved the world," Emily added.
"All by yourself," Omi finished.
It felt good to hear words of praise, but Dojo also figured that because he was the hero this time, maybe he could be a chosen warrior like the monks and represent his own element. He had so many ideas, but his friends didn't seem to care.
