FINALLY! I got this one finished! I made it nice and long for you guys, though I may have made it too long, so I'm just gonna get right to it!

I don't own Xiaolin showdown!


"We have to do something!" Kimiko exclaimed.

"You think I know don't that?!" Raimundo shouted back.

Omi was pacing all around his friends after Raimundo had returned and explained what he had seen. They were discussing their options in the kitchen. "We must travel to the Yin-Yang World!"

"But we have to figure out a plan first." Clay said. "What does Hannibal want with Sheila anyway?"

"He's probably sending a ransom note for all of our Wu if we want Sheila to be safely returned." Raimundo pounded his fist into his hand.

"I fear that this is far more than just a simple kidnap and ransom." Omi muttered to himself. Out of the corner of his eye, Omi saw movement towards the sleeping quarters. Sleek figure, about 5"9 and lithely muscular. While his fellow monks were arguing amongst themselves on what to do, Omi silently crept out of the meditation hall and followed the figure. When he followed it to the very back room of the sleeping quarters, the figure turned on the lights, revealing more details to the little monk.

It was a male with blond hair which had grown down to his shoulder length. He was Caucasian skinned with white scars all over his legs, like multiple whip marks. He strangely wore the same thing Sheila would wear. A forget-me-not blue T-shirt with Bermuda jeans and white sneakers. The strange male set down his bags, turning his head to the left, allowing Omi to get a look of his face. He had blue eyes like Sheila, but they were a slightly lighter shade of blue, with grayish-green specks. He also had a white-stripe on the left side of his hair.

'This individual seems remarkably similar to Sheila,' Omi thought, 'What if he is an impostor?' Omi gasped at the thought. 'He is trying to replace Sheila!' The boy only had a few seconds to turn around when he heard Omi charging at him.

"Blimey!" The boy cried, before Omi tackled him to the ground.


Meanwhile

The other monks were discussing their possible options and solutions. They hadn't even realized that Omi had left them as Dojo came slithering in.

"Hey, has anybody seen Sheila?" Dojo asked, "We've got some news for her."

"Uh, Dojo, we need to talk to you and Master Fung about Sheila." Raimundo said with an awkward face. Only then did they realize Omi was missing. "Hey, where's chrome-dome?"

"Blimey!" A voice yelled throughout the temple.

The Xiaolin monks ran towards the voice, hearing a struggle coming from the sleeping quarters. They found Omi holding someone to the ground. He looked remarkably like Sheila, confusing them for a moment. Omi had him pinned down, with his arm twisted behind his back and his face smothered into the carpet.

"Take that impostor!" Omi shouted.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about?!" The male shouted angrily with an Australian accent.

"Whoa, Omi-ball!" Dojo shouted. "That's not an impostor! That's Sheila's brother!"

Omi looked up. "He is?" Omi released the Aussie and jumped off to join his friends.

"What the hell is wrong with him!?" He yelled angrily.

"We don't know." Raimundo answered, before being slapped upside the head, "I mean, we didn't know Sheila had a brother."

"Of course she does! I'm her twin!" The boy said as he straightened himself out. "Boomer's the name."

"I'm Raimundo," The Brazilian pointed to himself. "Kimiko, Clay, and you've already met Omi."

"Yes, the little ankle bitter who kicked my arse." Boomer gritted out through his teeth.

"Why are you here?" Kimiko asked.

"Master Fung invited me to train here." Boomer explained. "I figured I could be closer to my sister. Speaking of my sister, where is she?"

The four monks suddenly found the room around them more interesting than answering his question. Boomer, who was quite fluent in street smarts, caught on to their behavior. "Is there something none of ya are tellin' me?"

"Well, uh, you see. . ." Clay stuttered. Boomer seemed like a nice kid, but they were finding it difficult to tell someone that their sibling had just been kidnapped and taken to another dimension by a giant talking bean.

"I'm not gonna ask you mugs again, where is my sister?" Boomer growled.


In The Yin-Yang World...

The Ying-Yang World was a bizarre dimension with a crystal-like floor that was covered with white mist and with a black "sky" with floating Chinese characters. Some other areas were filled in with snail stairs and even Chinese windows and Ying-Yang symbols gloating everywhere. In a far part of the strange dimension, stood Hannibal Roy Bean's prison.

It was a tall fortress, possibly 95 feet in height, made with a strong unknown metal. Since there was only one prisoner, there was only one prison cell. But right now, it wasn't Hannibal in there, it was Sheila.

The Australian was on the ground of the cell; her arms bound behind her back with rope around her elbows slanting behind her, which her wrists were bound with more rope and her ankles were bound tightly together. In this place, her appearance was completely different.

Her entire body, training robes and skin, were jet black, except for her eyes (which were just two white orbs) and white stripe. Anything put on her was instantly turned as black as night. Sheila figured it was because of her element.

"This better work." Said Wuya who was on the other side of the prison glass doors. "Chase already thinks that I'm with some evil girlfriends, but he'll get suspicious soon."

"Patience, my dear." Hannibal working at some sort of computer that appeared out of nowhere. "The Chi Creature can turn itself invisible, I can't do anything about that."

"And you never told me," Wuya went on, "What do we do once we have control of the Chi Creature?"

"You'll cross that bridge once we come to it." Hannibal spat, getting irritated with Wuya's constant questioning. "Now keep in eye on that one," Hannibal pointed his tentacle at Sheila, "She's a lot more competent than the other monks."

"And what will you be doing?" Wuya placed her hands on her hips.

"I need to run some errands." Hannibal jumped down to the ground floor, leaving Wuya and Sheila alone together.

Wuya used what little power she still had to conjure up a chair and sat down. Sheila had been keeping her head down the whole time. And unfortunately for them, they had forgotten to check Sheila's pockets for anything useful. And Sheila always carried her pop's trusted switch blade in her back pocket. It took her a while to reach it, but after 2 long minutes of reaching into her back pocket without trying to alert Wuya of her movements, she had finally gotten it out and started sawing away at the thick ropes.

She snook a quick glance, and saw that Wuya was beginning to fall asleep. If Sheila could somehow open the doors without waking up the Heylin witch, she could make it out of the prison without running into Hannibal. Wuya was just dozing off as Sheila heard the satisfying SNAP! from the knife cutting through the rope. She made quick work of the rest of her bonds and crept toward the glass doors.

Surprisingly, the doors were unlocked. Sheila gave a gentle nudge, and the door swung open just enough to squeeze through. Wuya was snoring loudly as Sheila tip-toed toward the spiral stairs. "So far, so good," Sheila whispered to herself. But she wasn't looking where she was going and accidentally walked off the edge. As Sheila was falling, she realized that she was falling up. She landed on the ceiling and stood up. It felt just like when she was using the Komori Sword. Looking around, Sheila tried going through one of the windows instead. It was much easier and proved to be much more efficient because she seemed to have a much easier time walking down, rather than in circles. "Well, how about that?"

Once she was at the bottom, she ran. She just picked a none specific direction and just ran with it. Since there was no end in sight, it didn't matter which direction she went. Sheila remembered reading about this place. It's a parallel universe with laws of its own. Shen Gong Wu are pretty much useless here, with few Wu being exceptional. Sheila still had the Ruby of Ramses, after Chase Young gave her the Wu that he rightfully won. Sheila slowed down her pace and began to think.

Chase Young was an odd one. She couldn't figure him out. He was powerful, and the Wu he won would've given him more power, and yet he had chosen to give that away. Of course he was already powerful enough, so he probably had no use for them. Sheila shook her head. She needed to think of a plan to get back to the temple. Sheila looked down at her body again. Nothing but jet black, except for her hair stripe and eyes. It was odd because she seemed comfortable in this world. It was quiet, dark, and spacious.

RWWWWOOOOAAAAARRRRR!

Sheila froze. Even though this place was endless, that sound was nearby. Was that the Chi Creature that Wuya and Hannibal were searching for? Hopefully, it wasn't looking for her. Sheila made another break for it. She was able to read up on the Chi Creature; it was the guardian of the Yin-Yang World and the Chi of every person on Earth. It's very aggressive when protecting the Chi, but hopefully it wouldn't see her as a threat to its task.

She could hear footsteps, but she couldn't see anything. Sheila continued forward. Heavy footsteps came closer and closer as she continued on, until she was sure that she could feel hot breaths down her neck. Growling was what made Sheila pause in her steps. Hannibal said something about the Chi Creature's ability to turn itself invisible.

"Show yourself." Sheila's voice was shaking in fear. She didn't know what would happen if her Chi was taken from her, but she didn't want to find out. The Chi Creature responded to her demand almost immediately. It was directly in front of her, jet black with yellow sclera and amethyst pupils. It stood about 7 ft tall. Upon its head was a golden band with a purple jewel hanging from it, though it looked like it was part of its body. Sheila was frozen in fear as the Chi Creature bent down and sniffed her. It bared its sharp teeth and circled around Sheila. Sheila didn't dare move a muscle.

After what felt like an eternity, the Chi Creature came back in front of her and . . . bowed?

It was literally bowing to Sheila. She tried thinking of why a creature of the Yin-Yang World would be bowing to someone like her. 'Well, I'm the Dragon of Yin,' Sheila thought, 'So, it would make sense that my power and rank could have such influence in this world.'

"You may rise." Sheila said to the creature. She felt much more confident, knowing that the Creature was unwilling to hurt her, hopefully. The Creature rose and sniffed around. It ran off towards an unknown destination, as Sheila smelt something familiar a few miles away.


The Temple

"MY SISTER'S BEEN WHAT?!" Boomer's furious voice spread throughout the temple. His face was bright red and steam was coming from his ears and nostrils.

"Sheila was kidnapped by. . ." Raimundo kept stuttering as he tried to repeat what had happened to Sheila. ". . . a . . . giant . . . evil . . . bean . . ."

"Out of all the *beep*ckin' flibbity rubbish I've heard!" Boomer began rambling. Kimiko ran to cover Omi's ears, to avoid having his innocence shattered by an angry, toilet-mouthed Australian.

"This bull*beep* is exactly what I didn't want my little sister gettin' into!" Boomer rambled on with gesticulation. "You *beep*ers just had to *beep* and *beep* *beep* *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*!" Boomer panted deep breaths before composing himself.

"You are truly Australian." Raimundo stated.

"Shut your gob and tell me where this mullet (turd) took my sister." Boomer growled.

"Well," Kimiko stated, "He took her to the Yin-Yang World."

"The what-what world?" Boomer's confusion seemed to have calmed him down slightly. It may have also been the fact that Kimiko seemed like a beaut (beauty) to him.

"The Yin-Yang World." Omi answered. "It is a parallel dimension with laws of its own. We can get there by using the Yin-Yang Yo-Yo."

"We have to go there if we want Sheila back." Clay completed for Omi.

"Well, what are you all standing around for?" Boomer exclaimed. "Let's get my sister back now!"

"We need a plan first!" Raimundo retorted. "We can't just go in there without thinking of something first. We need a plan of attack."

"I have a plan." Boomer glared. "Attack."

"That ain't a good plan, pardner." Clay replied.

"Beats just sitting here and talking." Boomer stomped out of the room.

"Wait!" Kimiko put a hand on Boomer's shoulder to stop him from leaving the room. "We swear, we're doing all that we can. But we dealt with this guy before, and he is very smart."

"She is right." Omi said in a much more solemn voice. "Hannibal is very crafty. We must find out what he wants with Sheila; so that we know what to expect."

Boomer tried to think for a minute for sighing. "Fine." He growled in defeat. "What does he want with her?"

"That's the thing." Raimundo said. "We don't know. Even with all of our experiences with him-"

"We have no clue as to his intentions for Sheila." Omi finished Raimundo's sentence.

"Well, is there anyone who knows more about him than you?" Boomer asked out loud.

The monks were silent. Looking at each other, they knew that there was one person who knew more about Hannibal Roy Bean than anyone. Omi looked at his feet, knowing what had to be done. When the monks finally all looked to Raimundo, he shook his head furiously.

"No! There is no way we're going to him for help!" Raimundo denied, before having his shirt pulled towards Boomer who was seething in anger.

"And why the bloody hell are you not going to this bloke to help my sister!?" Boomer shouted in Raimundo's face.

"Because he's just as evil as Hannibal is!" Raimundo answered.

"But doesn't he hate Hannibal just as much as he is Heylin?" Omi asked.

"I...He..." Raimundo gritted his teeth in anger. But Omi had a good point. He was the one who betrayed Hannibal, so there would be a chance that he would help them. "Alright, we'll ask him for help."

"Grouse (Great)!" Boomer gave thumbs up. "So, who is he?"


Dojo flew the monks and Boomer to a dark, menacing looking mountain with fire brewing up from the sides. The entrance to his lair was a vicious looking cave, stalactites and stalagmites pointed at each other like teeth, ready to close at any moment.

"This is the lair of Chase Young." Omi said; albeit over-dramatically.

Boomer just blinked. Besides the cave, he didn't really seem all that scared. His sister was in danger, so he would deal with anything to help her. Dojo landed on the outskirts of the entrance, a little ledge that was over an abyss.

"Let's just get this over with." Dojo shuddered and crawled underneath Clay's hat.

"I'm guessin' you've got a history with this bloke." Boomer spoke with curiosity.

"You have no idea." Kimiko muttered.

Boomer had stopped just in time when he realized he was about to walk into a thick rock wall. Torches were lit along the paths that they had taken. Snarling was heard from behind, as Boomer and the monks turned around, finding themselves surrounded by dozens of big cats.

The lead cat of the troop, seemed to be an odd big cat, one that the monks had never seen before. It had stripes (like the tiger) along its body and spots on its belly. The fur color was a tanish color, much like a lion's. It had piercing red eyes, something that Chase's other minions didn't have. The last noted trait was it was a lot bigger than the other cats.

The weirdest part was that it was glaring straight at Boomer.

"Uh, Boomer, do you know that cat?" Raimundo asked.

"No." Boomer answered simply. But Boomer felt oddly calm, staring into the large cat's red eyes.

Omi calmly walked forward. "We are here to speak with Chase Young."

The cat purred at Omi before it turned to the other cats and nodded its large head. almost instantly, the door was opened up, revealing a large and gorgeous citadel with light turquoise buildings, and freshwater springs, waterfalls, and beautiful gardens throughout the entire underground city. The giant cat led them through the gardens until they approached two large doors.

It led them to a throne room with turquoise columns supporting the walls and a ceiling that showed the night sky in all of its glory. Atop a luxurious throne, sat a young man, about his early twenties, with long greenish-black hair. He wore a sort of green armor. His amber lizard eyes scanned over the monks and Boomer with a smirk on his face.

"Well," Chase hissed, "What brings you monks to my lair?"

Omi, knowing Chase best, stepped towards the dark lord calmly. "We are in need of your assistance."

"My sister-" Boomer came in before being interrupted by the dark overlord.

"Has been kidnapped and you need my knowledge to help get her back." Chase finished for him.

"What is Hannibal planning?" Raimundo asked flatly. Chase raised his hand and a tiger came in with a large scroll in its mouth. A table grew out of the floor right in front of the monks, causing Boomer to stumble back in shock. But the abnormally large cat nudged him forward.

Chase Young threw open the scroll, revealing illustrations of Yin-Yang symbols featuring different objects.

"Since the beginning of time," Chase began, "Yin and Yang had been the two forces that created the world and kept it in balance." The pictures began moving. A pure black dragon with white eyes and a white stripe down its back spiraled around with a pure white dragon with black eyes and a black stripe down its back. "Their oppositions competed for complete control. But they're always equally matched, so neither could overcome the other. Their birthplace was the Yin-Yang World." The scroll then showed a small square image of a with a crystal-like floor that was covered with white mist and with a black "sky" with floating Chinese characters. In the middle of the picture was a a white male silhouette with a black stripe on the left side of his hair, next to a jet black feminine silhouette with a white stripe on the left side of her hair.

"Yin and Yang are intertwined with the Yin-Yang World. Yin created the Chi Creature as a way to protect the balance of humanity's disposition." Chase continued. Boomer stared at the scroll in awe, as a jet-black creature with yellow sclera and amethyst pupils, while upon its head was a golden band with a purple jewel hanging from it, though it looked like it was part of its body. "After its creation, Yin and Yang left their world to journey over to ours."

"What does this have to do with my sister?" Boomer asked out loud, albeit interrupting the mood. Everyone looked at Boomer. "What?"

"You're not that smart, are you?" Chase asked.

"No, not really." Boomer just gave everyone a blank look.

"Boomer," Omi started, "Sheila is the Reincarnation of Yin."

"Seriously?" Boomer blinked at the little round boy before he finally pieced it together. "Then that would make me-"

"The Reincarnation of Yang." Chase finished for him. Boomer stared down at his feet, not knowing what to do.

Chase went on, "Hannibal is planning to use Sheila's influence on the Chi Creature to control it. But the Creature is still unpredictable. To put it under full control, one would need both Yin and Yang together."

At that moment, Dojo began to tremble from underneath Clay's hat. "We've got another Wu alert!"

"Seriously," Raimundo grunted, "Right now?"

Dojo ignored him and pulled out the ancient scroll. "The Purple Pearl of Psyche. It allows one or more users to travel into someone's mind."

"So where is it now?" Clay asked.

"It's in the Yin-Yang world."

"Well, can we just get going?" Boomer tapped his foot impatiently. "We're wasting time!"

Raimundo gritted his teeth. "He's right. We need to move now."

The monks began to leave, but Chase called Omi back. "I must speak with you."

Omi looked back to his friends. Raimundo nodded slightly, glancing back at Chase before leaving with the others. *


The Yin-Yang World

Sheila didn't know how long she was walking for. She just followed a familiar scent, leading her in all different directions. Time seemed different in this world. Sheila knew what time it was on Earth, but day and night seemed irrelevant here.

And though this was Sheila's first time, this place felt so familiar. The atmosphere felt perfect to her; it wasn't too hot or too cold. Sheila reached up to a floating Chinese character: 死亡. It was instantly translated to "Death" in her fingers. Sheila released it and it floated back into its place.

CRUNCH!

Sheila looked down at her foot. She had stepped on a purple rose, like the ones she had received. She stepped back and the rose immediately popped back into shape, like nothing had happened. Looking up, Sheila eyes widened. There were over one-hundred thousand rose bushes, all neatly trimmed into a large rose-garden maze. This maze has two entrances, but perhaps one should think of it as an entrance and an exit. The top half of the labyrinth was the same as the bottom half, rotated. In each case, you do the center of one corner, then wiggle back round the outside, then between the two corners, then outside the second corner before filling its centers. There was no single center to the maze, but four, and eventually you'd find yourself on the other path, with no choice, part from whether to go into the middle of the four corners or not.

Sheila loved doing maze puzzles. But something was wrong with this labyrinth. The dead-ends and alternatives were so long, that once you'd made a wrong decision, you would end up in the wrong part of the maze and wander for a long time before you had the chance to correct yourself. Even the correct path was too long. It would be acceptable if there were short hedges that you could jump over, or flower beds or grass marking the walls, so once you had got thoroughly fed up, you could just walk back to the start in a straight line.

While overlooking the maze on the hill, Sheila's eye was caught by a shimmering object in one of the four centers. Sheila knew better than to just wander into a maze, but something in her head was telling her to go in.

Carefully, Sheila plucked the rose she'd stepped on and sniffed it. All of her doubt suddenly went away and she moved forward. The Australian stopped at the left entrance of the maze. At the hill, she was able to map out a route towards the shimmering object. But there was an ominous energy that Sheila could feel coming from the maze. Hesitating for a moment, Sheila stepped in and began going through the planned route she'd chosen.

It was straight for about 30 feet, then left for 10 ft. Left, left, left again, then straight, right, straight, left, right, left, right, right again. And then one final turn . . .

Sheila found the shimmering object. Balancing on top of a silver spike, was a perfectly round, purple pearl, about the size of Sheila's palm. The faint purple radiation from the metallic luster of the narce seemed to be like a firefly's glow.

'Touch. . . me. . .'

A small voice came from the pearl, startling Sheila. Still, she inched closer, as if in a trance. The faint glow became a shine. Sheila stood one foot from the spike. Her hand raised itself, involuntarily reaching for the orb. Sheila grasped it in her hand, bringing it down to examine it.

The orb was lightweight. The smooth, flawless purple surface reflected Sheila's image. It stared back blankly at her, the white pupils giving off no emotion.

Was this how everyone saw her? A girl with a lack of empathy? Whenever she talked to people, she tried to feel some kind of emotion, but whenever she did, it was either the wrong response, or it came out too harshly. Sheila just never understood how emotions worked, when to use them, or even if she could use them without forcing them out onto someone.

Sheila placed the orb in her pocket. She should be moving on; Wuya and Hannibal could be after her by now and she needed to find a way back to Earth. Turning around, Sheila walked back towards the entrance that she had used. While going back, she looked down at her hands and remembered the Chi Creature. If she could control that, would it protect her from Hannibal and Wuya?

Sheila then felt a sudden tug in her gut as she stepped out of the maze. 'Someone has entered this realm.' It told her. Sheila just began running she felt the tug become stronger as she kept going. There was only one thing, or person, that would be able to cause that tug in her gut.

Her twin brother has come to the Yin-Yang World.


Meanwhile, with the Monks

Omi had at last joined the monks after his private talk with Chase.

"What did he tell you?" Raimundo asked.

"Somethings that are not appropriate to speak of here." Omi answered as he climbed onto Dojo, right behind Boomer. Dojo took off towards the temple.

Kimiko looked back at Boomer. "You seem oddly calm, considering that your sister's been kidnapped."

Boomer looked away. "Sheila is smart. She can keep herself alive and last for a little while. But if these mugs are as evil as you say they are, then she will need help eventually."

Kimiko blinked. This boy seemed to care a large deal about his sister; something Kimiko rarely saw in today's world. Omi kept looking at Boomer's legs. The faint white scars lined all across his legs, making Omi question their origin.

"Where did you get these scars?" Omi asked. "You must've been in a great battle."

Boomer looked down at his legs and shuddered before glancing back at the small kid. "Yeah," Boomer answered before muttering to himself, "with pain and death."

A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark, moonless night. A lake below them glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars.

"Yo, Boomer!" Raimundo called to the Australian male's attention. "Catch!" Raimundo tossed something behind himself, that Boomer immediately caught. It was a pendant with a red ruby in the center. The rhombus-shape of the pendant surrounding the ruby was a light brown color. The sides and the holes of it were black.

"Uh, alright, what in the Down Under (Outback) is this?" Boomer asked.

"That's the Eye of Dashi." Kimiko answered. "It shoots bolts of lightning."

"How do I use it?" Boomer got a mischievous grin on his face.

"Just hold it and say its name." Clay said. Boomer raised the pendant, with his mouth wide open.

"NOT HERE!" Everyone yelled at him. Boomer stumbled back down onto his seat in surprise. Boomer folded his arms and pouted like a little child who didn't get what he wanted.

Shortly after, Dojo landed in the temple courtyard. Everyone climbed off and Dojo reverted back to his smaller form. Boomer simply blinked at the little reptile. Sheila didn't mention any of this in her letters at all. Was she trying to not worry them?

Omi ran off towards a tall building. It was like the rest of the temple, blue-tiled roof, a smooth beige wall and it had a glass roof at the top. The little bald monk came out of the building with a yoyo in his hand. On one side of the yoyo, was the symbol of Yin, the other side was the symbol of Yang.

"What the bloody hell is that?" Boomer asked.

"The Yin-Yang Yoyo." Omi explained. "It is our only way of getting in and out of the Yin-Yang World."

"Okay, then let's get going." Boomer pushed everyone together. This kid was surprisingly strong for having such noodle-arms.

Omi stepped apart from the group and used the Wu. "Yin-Yang Yoyo!" Instantly a black and white swirling portal opened. Boomer followed everyone else into the portal, hesitating for a moment. He jumped through with his eyes closed.

When he landed on the floor, his eyes opened to see that the Yin-Yang world exactly the same image that Chase's scroll had shown; a crystal-like floor that was covered with white mist and with a black "sky" with floating Chinese characters.

While he was scoping his surroundings, he found the monks staring at him. "What?"

Kimiko, without saying a word, handed Boomer a mirror. "What's this for-?"

Boomer stopped speaking when he saw his reflection. He was entirely white. His skin and clothes were as white as snow, as was his hair, except for his white stripe, which was now pitch black. And his eyes were like two black orbs.

"How are ya doin' that?" Clay asked with his hand on his hat.

"Well, his element is Yang, so it would make sense." Raimundo said plainly, as if he'd seen this before.

"We're waisting time, we have to find my sister!" Boomer shouted.

"Boomer!" A voice called from behind them.

It was Sheila! She was running towards them, smiling in happiness. Her entire body, training robes and skin, were jet black, except for her eyes (which were just two white orbs) and white stripe. Anything on her was black as night.

Boomer, with a genuinely happy smile on his face, began running towards her as well. But he immediately stopped in his tracks. Something was different about Sheila. His gut was telling his this. Sheila continued running towards her brother, but she eventually slowed down when she was right in front of him. Boomer just stared at Sheila.

"Boomer?" Sheila asked.

"..." Boomer knew wasn't his sister. Just by looking at her, he knew this was not Sheila! "Where is she?"

"Who?" The girl asked.

"My sister!" Boomer grabbed her by the shoulders. "Where is my sister?!"

"Uh, guys!" The girl called over to the monks. "A little help, please?"

"Boomer! That is Sheila!" Kimiko yelled. Raimundo and Clay tried to pry the Australian off of "Sheila".

"Boomer, it is me-AAAH!" The Australian girl was tackled by some other black object.

"Get the f*beep*ing hell away from my brother!" It yelled.

"Sheila?" Boomer asked.

"Who else?" The other black figure said. The figure who tackled "Sheila" had the other one pinned down to the floor.

"The other must be Hannibal!" Omi guessed. "He still has the Moby Morpher."

"Quite true." The bottom figure chuckled. "She" grabbed the top figure by her hair and flipped her over, causing her to crush Omi as well. "But which one is which?" It then pounced on the other black figure as it was trying to get off of Omi. Everyone become quite confused as the two figures began tussling and fighting.

After about a few minutes, Clay pulled out a coil of rope, that had a snake-skin pattern with a snake's head at the end. "Lasso-Boa-Boa!" He yelled and the snake-rope turned into a lasso and roped around the two "girls". They struggled against rope, but their efforts were futile.

"How can we tell who's the real Sheila?" Kimiko asked.

Boomer looked at the two girls for a moment. During their fight, he'd lost track of which one was the faker. He suddenly came up with an idea. "Hey, sis, Lorelei went in your room while you were gone."

The Sheila on the left looked up and her eyes practically shot daggers at Boomer. "SHE WHAT?!" Sheila yelled. Boomer then quickly ran up and punched the faker on the right in the face. Though the force was more than he had intended; his anger mixed with some of the energy he'd built up had sent the faker flying out of the rope and three yards away.

Clay recoiled the Wu and put it away. "What's so special bout Sheila's room?" Clay asked.

"My sister is very territorial when it comes to her room. She only let's me and my other sister Alexis in there." Boomer explained. Raimundo, Kimiko, and Omi, suddenly looked away from each other; somewhat embarrassed by their earlier deed.

"Which means," Sheila came up to the other monks with a malicious look on her face, "STAY OUT OF MY ROOM WHEN I'M NOT IN THERE!" She yelled in their faces.

Omi suddenly spotted something in Sheila's back pocket. Racing around her, Omi grabbed one of the purple roses that he was trying to show to his comrades for so long. "Aha!" He laughed in triumph. "I told you! They are real!"

Sheila suddenly looked panicked. She had forgotten that Omi was still suspicious of her. The other monks seemed intrigued by Omi's discovery.

"So, Omi was telling the truth." Raimundo said. He took the flower from Omi and sniffed it. "Wow, it smells like my beautiful ocean in Rio de Janeiro."

"Well. . ." Sheila started out before taking a deep breath, "Yes, the roses are real. And yes, I did have some in my room. But I didn't know that they were dinkum (real) until they showed up in my room that same day." Sheila took the rose from Omi.

"But why didn't you just tell us?" Kimiko asked.

"Because I couldn't explain it. If I can't explain something, I tend to panic, and then I try to ignore it." Sheila put her hands behind her back in guilt. Dojo had crawled onto Sheila, to get a closer look at the strange flower.

"This is actually a really good thing." Dojo said. Everyone looked at him in surprise. "This rose is a special type of plant that heals Dragons. So, it was good that Sheila found these."

"So, this is supposed to heal us?" Kimiko took the flower and sniffed it. "Raimundo, this actually smells like the cherry blossoms in Japan."

Raimundo took the flowers again and sniffed it. "No, it smells like the ocean in Rio de Janeiro."

"It smells different for everybody." Dojo explained. "Usually it has the smell from your fondest memories."

Clay took the flower this time. "It smells like my momma's apple pie." He said dreamily.

"Oi, mates!" Boomer pointed towards the faker, who was now getting up. Everyone, except Boomer, got into a battle stance, ready to fight Hannibal.

"Moby-Morpher!" Hannibal shouted. He put his arms together and pulled them apart, returning to his original bean shape, but his size remained as gargantuan.

"Wow, he is a brown-eyed mullet." Boomer said, confusing everyone.

There was a silence before Raimundo asked, "What?"

Sheila translated, "He called him a turd."

But as everyone was distracted, Wuya came up from behind everyone and pulled out a sphere lantern with a circle in the middle. "Sphere of Yun!" Sheila and Boomer were instantly trapped inside a glass version of the lantern with a metal bottom. Boomer tried to smash the glass with his foot, but it only caused him pain.

Wuya made a wolf-whistle to the distance. There was a moment of silence, before a familiar roar entered the monk's ears. An invisible force began running towards them from an unknown direction. The monks were suddenly knocked off their feet like blowing pins. The Chi Creature revealed its figure. It was just like Boomer had seen in the scroll; a tall, black creature with purple irises and yellow sclera, and a purple jewel hanging from a golden band on its head. It looked at the sphere holding the embodiments of its two creators.

It roared before marching up to Wuya. "Get the chi from those monks, would ya?" Wuya asked the Chi Creature, who roared compliantly and started charging for the monks. Hannibal came right up to her side and put a tentacle around her shoulder.

"Evasive maneuvers!" Raimundo ordered. The monks, who had picked themselves up in the knick of time, scattered around the area.

At first the Creature charged for Clay, but the Texan was ready and glided to his left side at the last minute, tripping the Creature off its feet, before he ran towards Kimiko. The two dragons jumped in different directions from the charging Creature. It changed its mind and went after Omi. Raimundo came from behind as Omi used his size to his advantage and ran between the legs of the creature.

The Brazilian jumped onto the Creature's back, knocking it down, like Sheila had down to the robot. But it rolled over, squashing Raimundo.

All the while, Boomer was repeatedly banging and punching the impenetrable glass. While Boomer continued his futile efforts, Sheila was actually testing the glass of their round prison.

"Hey Boomer." Sheila asked.

"What?" Boomer grunted as he comforted his bruised fist.

"Remember when Richard was giving us singing lessons and I accidentally broke mum's favorite vase?" Sheila asked with a small grin on her face.

Boomer's eyes widen as he remembered that fatefully day of high notes, bleeding ears, and an angry mother. "And why are you bringing this up, now?" Sheila gave a mischievous smile and flicked the glass, making a TING! sound, like she once did when she tested the density of her mum's now broken vase.

"Before you do it!" Boomer held up a finger. He sat on the floor of the prison, placed his hands on his ears and put his head between his knees, blocking out all possible sounds. "Okay, now."

Sheila cleared her throat and sucked in a huge gulp of air. She calmed herself for a moment before letting out her singing voice build up to a high C-7 pitch (Look up = O Holy Night - Serena Sang Higher Note than Mariah Carey's Version, minutes 3:25 - 3:31. Don't wear headphones when listening to it).

The glass vibrated, shook, and then shattered; releasing her high-pitched singing to any creature with ears. Everyone, including the Chi Creature, immediately covered their ears. The Creature howled like a dog, whining for the pain to stop.

After about two minutes, Raimundo ran towards Sheila and covered her mouth. "Shut up, already! You're free!"

Sheila blushed. It was rare for her to sing, especially in public. Sheila swatted Raimundo's hand away from her mouth. "Go!" She commanded the Chi Creature. "Guard the Chi!" The Creature roared and ran off into the distance.

Hannibal and Wuya suddenly found themselves surrounded by the angry Xiaolin monks. There was a silent standoff, no one daring to make a move. The monks were actually waiting for their leader's signal, while Wuya and Hannibal were waiting for an opening.

A pin could be dropped and everyone would hear it. But it was not a pin that was dropped; it was the pearl from Sheila's pocket. Everyone stared at the pearl in surprise as it rolled into the center of the standoff.

"That's the-" Dojo stated.

"Purple Pearl of Psyche." Wuya finished for him.

Everyone glanced at each other for one awkward moment, before they all pounced on the pearl. A giant ball of dust erupted as everyone was fighting to get the pearl. After much pummeling and yelling, four hands held up the Purple Pearl of Psyche. Wuya, Hannibal, Sheila, and Boomer had touched the pearl all at the same time.

"Boomer and I challenge you, Hannibal and Wuya, to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Sheila yelled out defiantly. "Your Sphere of Yun and Moby Morpher against our Ruby of Ramses and. . . What do you have?" Sheila asked Boomer.

"The Eye of Dashi." Boomer answered. 'What the bloody hell is a Xiaolin Showdown? Guess I'm bout to find out.' Boomer thought.

"Name it, blondie!" Wuya taunted.

"Puzzle Maze!" Sheila scolded. "First ones to get to find the center with the pearl wins!"

"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" They yelled.


The area erupted around them to form a maze, like the one Sheila was in earlier. It floated on an island with no bottom at all.

The contestants each started at the two entrances; both teams in the ready-set-go stance.

But this time, Sheila and Boomer were dressed in robes, that reminded Boomer of a ninja's outfit. Sheila's outfit was jet black all over and had the symbol of Yin outlined on her chest, while Boomer's was snow-white and had the symbol of Yang outlined on it. Sheila had her hair braid with a bow at the tail of her hair. The other monks were floating on a plate of glass high above the labyrinth. They were also dressed in the ninja-robes, as Boomer now called them, but theirs were blue.

"Holy s*beep*t." Boomer cursed to himself.

"Gong Yi Tempai!" The two villains and his sister yelled at each other. Sheila then clamped not Boomer's arm and practically dragged him into the maze. A 10 foot wall of thorns separated the villains from the twins. As they raced down the path and took a left, Sheila didn't see a pendulum coming down from the right side.

"Sheila!" Boomer pushed his sister out of the blade's path. A SLICE! was heard as half of Sheila braid was cut clean off, shortening her blond/black hair up to her shoulder blades.

"Come on!" Sheila was unshaken by her missing hair as she pulled her brother through the pendulum's swing and they continued down the maze.

"Do you even know where you're going?" Boomer asked, since he felt like he was completely lost. He ran along side his sister, trying to keep up with all the sharp turns she was making.

"Course!" Sheila yelled over their panting and the rushing wind. "I've been in this maze before! Where do you think I found the pearl?"

"Moby-Morpher!" Hannibal jumped over the thorn wall in front of the twins, while Wuya was behind them. Hannibal had used his Wu to grow four other tentacles, totaling in a number of eight-tentacles.

"Hey, Boomer," Sheila hid the sly smile under her mask. "You take the turd and I'll take the dog (unattractive woman)."

The monks watched in total silence.

Boomer nodded to his sister and they both ran to their chosen targets. Luckily his eldest sister, Alexis, had taught him how to fight. Hannibal struck at him with each of his tentacles. He was able to dodge a few of them, but he was hit in his side, by a tentacles end, causing his inside to try to become his outsides. Then he remembered the amulet that the Brazilian had given him. He pulled it out and aimed it at the giant bean.

"Eye of Da-" Boomer, not knowing that the Wu worked differently in the Yin-Yang World, was instead zapped by the lightning that was intended for the Heylin bean. He fell down to the misty floor on his back, completely stunned.

"That was easier than I thought." Hannibal said to himself.

Sheila was having a much better chance against Wuya. Mostly because neither of them had moved from their spots. Wuya had expected the girl to launch herself into battle, like the other monks did. But Hannibal was right; she more competent than the other monks. And knowing her voice could break glass made her Wu useless. So it was this time that Wuya went on the offense.

Wuya ran towards the dragon and gave butterfly kick, towards Sheila's face. Sheila was somehow seen that coming and ducked underneath Wuya's leg, giving her time to grab the Heylin witch's ankle. Sheila pulled the old hag to the ground. But Wuya was able to twist her foot free from Sheila's grip and flipped out of range, going backwards and landing in front of Sheila. Meanwhile, the Australian girl was feeling pain in her side, a much lesser version of what Boomer had received from Hannibal, who had landed behind Sheila.

No escape route was available to her now. The monks watched in fear and awe. There was no way Sheila would be able to defeat Wuya AND Hannibal alone. But Sheila was building her skills for the last few days; she'd gotten better, her focus and aim of power had improved greatly. And the monks didn't see a hint of fear in either of her eyes.

Because she felt no fear of Wuya, nor Hannibal.

"Ugh. . . ." Boomer was shaking off the effects of the lightning. His head pounded as he rolled his head back to see the giant evil bean and the dog surrounding his sister. He sat up, determined to save her. He would never let anyone hurt his sister! "Sheila!"

"Go look for the pearl!" Sheila commanded without taking her eyes off of the Heylin witch.

"But you can't-" Boomer pleaded.

"Go!" Sheila's tone was piercingly stern.

Boomer looked to the other monks for guidance. No one offered any help, expect for Raimundo. He hid his face behind his mask. His smoldering green eyes burned into Boomer's ebony ones. He simply nodded, agreeing with Sheila task of finding the object that would stop the showdown. The twin looked at his sister once last time before getting up and slipped around the corner.


Sheila could only hear her heart-beating against her chest. She did feel fear. But she hid it away. She couldn't face off against this witch and this bean! They'd had more years of experience. But this was part of her plan, she was the distraction while her brother went to find the pearl.

Her hand kept a tight grip on the Ruby of Ramses. What had only been a few minutes, felt like hours; her snow-white eyes burned deep into Wuya's, not doing to look behind her to what Hannibal was doing. Sheila wouldn't make her move until Wuya made her own.

"Go on ahead and look for the pearl, sweetheart." Hannibal instructed the with. "I can take care of this one." Wuya nodded and prepared to jump over the thorns, but Sheila struck without warning.

"Ruby of Ramses!" Sheila commanded the thorns to take hold of the two evil-doers. Sheila saw the blood dripping from the Wuya's body as her screams filled the air. Hannibal's scream's soon joined in. They're screams were indescribable. Kimiko had done the right decision and covered Omi's ears. But now she, Clay, and Raimundo had to remember those screams within their memories and nightmares.

Wuya looked into Sheila's eyes to silently plead for mercy. But the 1500-year-old sorceress saw none; therefore she would receive none. Under Sheila's mask, she was smirking. Truth was, she had blacked out for no reason, and her subconscious desire to hear pain had taken control. Wuya then looked away from those emotionless eyes. She would forever be haunted by those orbs of white light. Red liquid stained the white floor below the struggling villains. Sheila still gave no hint of going easy on them.

She heard her brother coming back and quickly made the vines drop Hannibal and Wuya. They laid on the floor, in pain from the thousand thorns that protruded into their bodies. Sheila blinked, coming out of her dazed state. She tried to think of what had happened when she blacked out.

"Sheila! I think I found the pearl, but I need you to help me!" Boomer came around the corner and gestured for Sheila to follow him. The girl ran to her brother, who led the way the to the pearl, momentarily forgetting about subconscious deed. After twists and turns, the twins came upon the pearl. It sat on a spike, about 100 feet up.

"I've got an idea!" Sheila stated and grabbed onto her brother's hand. "Ruby of Ramses!" Sheila commanded the vines to climb the spike, until they could reach the pearl.

"They went this way!" Hannibal's voice came from around the corner. Sheila looked around, desperately trying to think of something. Sheila looked at the vines. A light bulb lit up above her head.

"Climb!" She shouted.

The monks began cheering. They were gonna win this time! Sheila and Boomer would win their first showdown together. Hannibal and Wuya came to the scene just as the twins were nearly 1/3 away from the pearl. What little magic Wuya had left, she had used to heal them. The blood had stopped dripping, but the marks of the thorns were still there, and would possibly always be.

"No!" Hannibal yelled in fury and jumped in front of the twins, separating them from victory. "I will not be beaten by-"

"Ruby of Ramses!" Sheila quickly shouted. Hannibal floated off of the vines. Sheila shook the ruby up and down, resulting in Hannibal feeling the effects of motion-sickness.

"That's for kidnapping me!" Sheila shouted with full fury. She then imagined throwing Hannibal down at Wuya, who was climbing up the vines, avoiding the thorns. "And this is for messing with me brother!" Hannibal plunged down, knocking down Wuya and landing hard on the surface. The monks cheered along with Sheila's actions.

Finally, Sheila and Boomer held onto either side of the pearl. Sheila had been wanting to win a showdown for so long; but now she was winning it with her beloved twin brother.

"On three?" Boomer asked.

"One." Sheila nodded.

"Two." Boomer said as he and Sheila's hands reached up in equal lengths to the pearl.

"Three!" They both grabbed the pearl at the same time, ending the showdown, with the Xiaolin being victorious.


Sheila opened her eyes to see that the Yin-Yang scenery had gone back down to normal.

In her arms, Sheila held the Purple Pearl of Psyche, the Moby-Morpher, and the Ruby of Ramses; while Boomer held the Eye of Dashi and the Sphere of Yun. The monks cheered for the twins.

Sheila had been waiting for this moment for so long. She finally won a showdown!

"That was a hole of ace!" Omi shouted.

...

"I think he means 'ace in the hole'." Sheila guessed.

"Who cares!" Raymond cried out in joy. "Let's get back to the temple and party!"

"I could really go for a rage (party)!" Boomer said. He hugged his sister around her shoulder.

This time, she didn't flinch. Boomer was the only person who could touch her and she wouldn't flinch at the contact. It felt good to not be like that. But, even though everyone was happy as they walked through the Yin-Yang portal, Sheila was starting to recover some of the memories of what she did to Hannibal and Wuya. It felt exactly like the time she snapped Kimiko's neck. Sheila mentally shuddered and continued to smile as the portal closed behind them.

Meanwhile, Hannibal and Wuya were watching from afar.

Hannibal was seething in anger and ranting about he was defeated by mere Xiaolin trainees, but Wuya was contemplating what had happened in that's girl's mind. It almost seemed sadistic. She rubbed the faint lines of cuts over her tanned skin.

It was so unexpected that someone like Sheila would contain such cruelty. It's a natural Heylin trait to show apathy. "No wonder Chase shows interest in her. . . ." Wuya thought out loud.

Hannibal heard her comment, but he continued to rant. 'Chase Young shows interest in the girl?' He chuckled inside his head. 'I can see why. Jade would be proud of her reincarnation.'

"Enough!" Wuya yelled at Hannibal, who'd suddenly stopped his ranting on her bossy tone. "What's done is done! Now let's get out of here, so I can get Chase's wrath off my plate!"

"Whatever the lady wants." Hannibal gave a mock bow and called for Ying-Ying.

The bird immediately came to its master's call and zapped the two villains back to Earth.


Sheila didn't remember falling asleep. All she could remember was being too tired to walk and Boomer carried her to her room.

As dawn broke over the horizon, the brilliant orange egg yolk sun spilled across the clouds as far as the eye could see. The clock read 9:13 am. Sheila was glad she could sleep in, but she was very pain-striken to have broken her daily schedule. Her blond hair fell in front of her face as she sat up.

Sheila blew the golden strands away before spying a single purple rose in a vase with a pair of scissors next to it. The stem on the flower had been cut, letting it drink in the cooling waters. Looking at the mirror, Sheila saw that her hair was a mess.

Brushing it out created a struggle for her as she nearly tore her hair off just trying to straighten it for the next bit. With a few snips of the scissors she picked up, her blond hair had been shortened to shoulder length. When she went to cut the white stripe, she paused.

Her white stripe had still been the same length before her blond sections were sliced. It was even still in its braid. In one swift motion of the twin blades, it was the same length as the rest of her hair.

Sheila quickly changed into fresh robes, took her pills, and went to have breakfast. She found the monks eating without her, probably letting her get the extra shut-eye. After a calming breath, Sheila walked in, only getting Omi's attention as he looked up from his cereal and stared at Sheila in confusion.

"Did you forget something, Boomer?" He asked. This gained everyone else's attention as apparently Boomer had gone somewhere else after he'd eaten. Sheila turned to face them, showing that she was not whom Omi thought she was. "Oh, Sheila! You cut your hair?"

"Yeah." Sheila answered simply. "You like it?"

Raimundo swallowed his eggs before speaking. "Yeah. It's just that you look so much like Boomer now."

"Well, we are twins." Sheila answered as she poured her own cereal into a bowl. "So now I get to play mind-games with ya'll." Sheila looked around the kitchen. "Where is Boomer?"

"He went to the training grounds." Kimiko pointed at that door.

"Thanks." Sheila grabbed a spoon and walked out, looking for her twin.

She'd found him standing in the Tai-Chi Crane position. He was seriously focused, not letting anything break his concentration as his mind drifted. Until Sheila stepped on a twig.

He immediately looked up to see his sibling, with shorter hair. "I can see that we're officially twins again." Boomer joked. Sheila laughed with him. It was good to laugh.

"It's crazy, isn't it?" Sheila asked, taking a bite of her flakes. She sat down on a bench to eat.

"What is?" Boomer asking, stretching.

"What we do here. You didn't really expect magical artifacts or giant talking turds, am I right?"

"No, not really."

"You can probably understand why I didn't include all of this in my letter. I was afraid that you would want me to come home for my own safety."

Boomer looked down at his feet. "Well, if I'd known. . . ." Boomer took a deep breath. "You know I'd do anything to protect ya. But I also want you to be happy."

"Why do you think I came here in the first place?" Sheila also looked down at her feet. "I wanted to learn how to fend for me-self. But now that I see what I've gotten me-self into, I'm not sure I could ever go back to where I was. Just reading books and being invisible to the world."

"But, are you happy here?" Boomer looked over to his sister.

"Honestly, I think I am."

"Good. So, awkward twin hug?" Boomer asked with his arms stretched out.

"Awkward twin hug." Sheila smiled and hugged him.

"Pat-pat." They both said in unison and patted each other twice on the back.

Then the camera panned up into the blue sky and faded to black as this episode ended.


YES! WOOHOO!

I'VE FINALLY GOT IT DDDOOONNNEEE!

You guys have no idea how many rewrites this chapter went through!

Also, when you guys comment, if you want to see a chapter involving Chase and Omi talking about "Somethings that are not appropriate to speak of here", then put an *(asterisk) in it!

I don't know why, but whenever I thought of Omi and Chase's relationship, I thought of Yin and Yang, which inspired me to write this story. Because, Omi sees the good in Chase, while Chase sees the evil in Omi!

Freaky!

And no, I didn't get the colors mixed up! In the episode of Judging Omi (Season 2, Episode 25)

They show the Yin Yo-yo as the white portion, and the Yang Yo-yo as the black portion. But that's inaccurate.

In Chinese philosophy, Yin is the feminine or negative principle (characterized by dark, wetness, cold, passivity, disintegration, etc.) of the two opposing cosmic forces into which creative energy divides and whose fusion in physical matter brings the phenomenal world into being. While Yang is the masculine or positive principle (characterized by light, warmth, dryness, activity, etc.) of the two opposing cosmic forces. (As stated in my journals).

So, Yin should've been the black portion, and the Yang should've been the white portion. But they completely mixed it up.

Am I the only one who noticed that?

Anyway, please guys, you need to comment if you want more chapters! I'm open to any ideas!
