Royal Rumble

Two weeks had passed, but no new Shen-Gong-Wu had activated. But there was always time for training. In this training section, the monks had to work as a team. They had to climb the mountain while carrying a boulder. It wasn't easy with all the complaints. Clay felt like he was doing all the heavy lifting because he was the strongest of the team, Raimundo couldn't stand that Kimiko had her cell phone will her every minute, and Kimiko thought that Raimundo's music was just noise. The only ones who weren't complaining were Omi and Emily. They tried to remind their teammates that they could only successfully work together by setting their differences aside and adapting to each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The training session was over. It seemed the only thing monks managed to do together as a team was fall from the mountain. But as long as they were fighting amongst each other, the monks were their own enemies. Clay and Kimiko had messages for each other with Omi and Emily in the middle, but Raimundo wanted everyone to just shut up.

Jack and Max weren't doing any better than the monks were. One would think they were relatives based on the way they quarreled with each other. Jack accused Max of stealing the last pudding cup that was in his kitchen. As much as Max would love to admit it, she boasted that she didn't steal it. Jack's mother graciously gave it to their guest as a snack.

Wuya finally had enough and told them to stop bickering. Her timing couldn't have been any better either. She sensed a Shen-Gong-Wu being activated. But this time, it was not one Shen-Gong-Wu. It wasn't two or three either, but four. Four Shen-Gong-Wu had been revealed at the same time.

With so many Shen-Gong-Wu, the monks had to split up. Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay liked the idea and were given their own Shen-Gong-Wu to help them. Kimiko was given the Mantis Flip Coin, Raimundo was given the Falcon's Eye, and Clay was given the Serpent's Tail. Omi and Emily were the only ones willing to work together, so they agreed to find one of the Shen-Gong-Wu together as a team. Omi was given the Star Hanabi and Emily was given the Sword of the Storm.

Max and Jack knew they wouldn't be able to manage on their own, so Wuya enlisted the help of Katnappe, Tubbimura, and the Chameleo-bot. She had a new plan in store and a surprise for the Xiaolin monks.

One of the four Shen-Gong-Wu was the Lotus Twister. It had the power to make the user elastic and able to stretch long distances and become flat enough to fit through narrow spaces. Kimiko found it only to meet up with Katnappe and face her in a Xiaolin Showdown. The second Shen-Gong-Wu was the Longi Kite. One could use it to sail like they had a pair of wings on their back. Raimundo found it, but so did a lovely young girl. But Raimundo knew right away that this diva was Jack's Chameleo-bot and had to fight for the Shen-Gong-Wu. The third Shen-Gong-Wu was the Tongue of Saiping. With this, the user could communicate with animals and insects. Clay found it, only to realize that he was now face-to-face with Tubbimura. The last Shen-Gong-Wu was the Sun Chi Lantern. With this, the user could draw in the chi energy of his or her allies and their strength would be one. Omi and Emily found it together, but they also found Jack and Max, who were waiting for them.

In Raimundo's Showdown, the prized Longi Kite would hide itself and whoever would find it first would be declared the winner. The Chameleo-bot wagered the Two-Ton Tunic, but used its transformation programming to take on the shape of sea creatures. Raimundo would use the Falcon's Eye to try to seek out the Longi Kite. But he had to be quick and careful. He could seek the Shen-Gong-Wu, but he also needed to come back to the surface for air. And taking the time to do both things put Raimundo at a serious disadvantage. Raimundo decided that he wasted enough time and hitched a ride on the Chameleo-bot, but just when it looked like he was about to win, the robot took on the shape of an octopus, ensnaring Raimundo and grabbing the Longi Kite. When the waters receeded, The robot strapped the Longi Kite and used it to carry Raimundo away.

The Lotus Twister broke free from Kimiko and Katnappe's grips. The girls started their water crafts and raced across the bayou trying to catch it. But the game got more interesting as they were knocked off their boats and jumping on the backs of alligators. Kimiko managed to use the Mantis Flip Coin and cross with the ease of an acrobat. She was about to catch the Lotus Twister until Katnappe took out her cell phone and asked to be connected to Kimiko. The sound of Kimiko's cell phone attracted the alligators and they were all coming in for her. She managed to get rid of her cell phone, but it was too late. Katnappe managed to get the Lotus Twister first. But she didn't leave without capturing Kimiko like a fish in a net and taking her along.

As Tubbimura and Clay were racing across the ice, a glacier blocked their way. Clay went through it using the Serpent's Tail while Tubbimura went around it and slid on the ice. Soon they were both standing on opposite sides of the prized Tongue of Saiping. But both competitors were standing on thin ice. Clay tried to move slowly and steadily, but Tubbimura tossed fish on the ice, attacting a lot of seals and sea lions. The weight of the hungry animals broke the ice below Clay's feet. Tubbimura used the Changing Chopsticks to shrink, making him light and able to get the Tongue of Saiping with ease. Clay got out of the water and was freezing cold, but that was the least of his problems. Tubbimura had caught him in a sack and began taking him away.

Omi and Emily had to race against Jack and Max across the desert while carrying a glass of water without spilling a drop. Jack would be using the Monkey Staff, Max would be using the Third Arm Sash, Omi would be using the Star Hanabi, and Emily would be using the Sword of the Storm. Being careful not to spill their water, Omi and Emily walked through the dunes. But Max and Jack took the lead because they left their robots to hold them back. Keeping their glasses safe, the Xiaolin team used their Shen-Gong-Wu to destroy the robots and catch up to the Heylin team. Max and Jack saw the Lantern. Max placed ger glass into her hand so she could use the Third-Arm Sash to grab the Lanturn, but Omi beat her to it. The Xiaolin team gave cheers, clinked their glasses together, and drank their water.

Emily and Omi couldn't wait to see their friends, but when they returned to the temple, they saw that the others weren't back yet. Master Fung told them the cause of everyone's absence.

"Captured?" Emily asked.

"It is a new tactic by Wuya," he told her. "We should have anticipated it."

"Then we must rescue them at once," Omi declared.

"Wuya's foces are very strong," Master Fung warned them. "And, Emily, she has the assistance of your friend Max."

"I know, but I know Max," said Emily. She took the Sun Chi Lantern and placed it around her neck. "She may help me more than she may hurt me."

Master Fung decided to put his trust in his students, so he told them to go with caution.

Omi and Emily made it to the Spicer residence. It was heavily guarded with Jack-bots, but they dismantled them with ease and made it inside the house. They got to the basement and saw their friends gagged and chained to the wall. As they hurried to set them free, Omi and Emily were ambushed by Wuya's arsenal.

"Just as I thought," Wuya was saying. "The little monk and his princess friend couldn't resist rescuing their little friends."

Omi was confused. "Princess? Who?"

"Me, Omi," Emily answered. "I'm a princess." All of her friends were shocked to hear her say that. She sighed and said, "I hoped to tell all of you when you were ready."

"And she's not just any princess," said Wuya. "She's the princess who holds the Millennium Star."

"Millennium Star?" Jack echoed. "Is that some kind of rare and powerful Shen-Gong-Wu?"

"No, fool," Wuya answered. "It's the embodiment of the Great Goddess Millennia. She sent Emily here to join the monks in defending this world."

That sounded familiar to Omi. He and Dojo had been told stories about the Great Goddess Millennia and the Dark Lord Cobalt and how they had ties to the Shen-Gong-Wu. "Is this true, Emily?"

She dropped her head down. "It's true."

"No way," gasped Jack. "You mean, if Max and I hadn't lost our Xiaolin Showdown, we could have caught ourselves a princess?"

"Yes, but then our trap never would have worked," said Max.

"But soon we have all of the Xiaolin monks as well as the princess out of the way," said Wuya. "With one less warrior of Millennia to worry about, no one will be able to stop us."

"And the rest of the Shen-Gong-Wu will be easy pickings," said Jack. He still couldn't believe Emily was a princess, but he had no idea of her destiny or her purpose in this world.

"The weak talk, but the strong take action," Omi cried. Now that he realized who Emily was, he was more determined to protect her as well as save the rest of his friends. As the villains charged in to attack, Omi and Emily dodged them with ease, making them attack each other. Tubbimura used his weight to hold Emily down while Katnappe and the Chameleo-bot held Omi back.

There was only one thing Emily could do now. In order for her to save her friends, she needed their help. So she activated the power of the Sun Chi Lantern and channeled the chi energy of her friends. Filled with the strength of her friends, Emily freed herself and got back on her feet. Katnappe charged in to attack, but Emily countered using the power of Kimiko's element of fire. Tubbimura was about to crush Emily again, but she stopped him using the power of Clay's element of earth. The Chameleo-bot tried to attack, but Emily stopped it using the power of Raimundo's element of wind. Jack was ready to fight, but Emily overwhelmed him using the power of Omi's element of water, making Jack run away screaming in fear. Emily had one last opponent. Max would have fought, but she decided it wasn't worth the trouble. She withdrew herself from the battle.

When everyone was free again and ready to return to the temple, everyone began expressing their gratitude to Omi and Emily for their help. "I don't know what to say," Kimiko said modestly.

"A 'thank you' sounds like a mighty good place to start," Clay suggested.

"Yeah, but it looks like Emily's got some talking to do of her own too," said Raimundo.

She sighed and said, "Yeah. I guess now that my secret's out, I have to tell you guys everything."

"Maybe later," Clay said softly. "All that matters right now is that you helped us and we're together again."

Emily smiled and nodded. "This was a fight we won together." And she held up the Sun Chi Lantern for everyone to hold.

The monks came back to the temple with more Shen-Gong-Wu than they started out with today. They even got most of the ones they fought for and lost. It seemed like the strength of their friendship was greater now, but it would only be proven so through by trying their training session again. As a team, they managed to lift the boulder up the hill.
