"Shen-Gong-Wu alert!" Dojo shouted, starting to twitch and itch like there was no tomorrow. The four Chosen Ones raced to his side.

"What Wu is it?" Raimundo asked.

Kimiko got out the scroll and saw the stick figure using a necklace like object to a bigger, tougher figure until the figure turned into a ballerina dancer.

"It's the Pendant of Parallels, it transforms the opponent into the opposite of what they are. Like turning evil Jack into good Jack," Dojo said.

"I gotta say, he's more annoying being good than he is being evil," Kimiko snared.

"And the last time I saw the Pendant, it was in Rio De Janeiro," Dojo added. As soon as Dojo said the location, Raimundo grabbed him and brought him up to his face.

"You mean, I'm going home?" he asked excitedly.

Dojo nodded and Raimundo put down the dragon, leaped into the air and yelped for joy.

"Raimundo sure is happy," Omi noted.

The forty foot Dojo flew the four to the sandy beaches of Brazil. Anticipation running through the veins of the Dragon of Wind. He then felt a delicate hand touch his shoulder. He looked behind and saw her smiling face.

It wasn't long until they touched down on the beach that just so happen to be by a circus. Memories is all Raimundo ever thought. He was shaken out of his state when Omi said that they should split up. The group went into different directions while Raimundo decided to look in the nearby circus. He started looking around and reminiscing on his past.

Then he heard a scream and looked to see Jack Spicer scaring a group of people with his robots. He raced over and saw the glowing object hanging from one of the cages that Jack was obviously flying towards. Rai summoned his element and gained more speed. He reached out his hand and grabbed the Pendant at the same time as Jack. It wasn't long until the others came.

"Jack, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. The game is balancing on the trapeze line, first to reach the Pendant of Parallels wins," Raimundo said.

"I accept your challenge, I wager the Lotus Twister against your Sword of the Storm," Jack replied.

"LETS GO XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" They both screamed and the scenery changed from one of a circus grounds to one with two poles that were at least hundreds of feet high with lines that looked like they continued on for miles on each. Rai and Jack were on a podium on top of each pole while Kimiko, Clay, Omi, and Dojo were on another pole with no line attached. They all had on their ninja outfits, except for Jack.

"Gon yi tempai!" Raimundo and Jack shouted and the showdown started.

Jack stepped on the wire and nearly lost his balance, while Raimundo had no problem walking on the wire. Thanks to his previous experience with the trapeze act. It was then that Jack got frustrated.

"Lotus Twister!" Jack shouted and his limbs became rubbery and started walking on all fours across the wire. "I knew I should've wagered the Monkey Staff."

"Too bad!" Rai shouted from a great distance.

"Go Raimundo!" Kimiko cheered. A broad smile spread across his face underneath his ninja mask.

Then he felt pressure come to his ankle. He looked down to see Jack's clammy hand around it. Rai looked back and saw Jack coming up right behind him. Then he came up with a plan. As soon as Jack came close enough to him, enough to toss Rai around, he jumped into the air.

"Wudai Star, Wind!" Raimundo shouted and started spinning around the two lines and wrapped Jack around with his own arms.

"Hey! What are you-" was all Jack could say until he was completely wrapped. Raimundo landed back on his own line and looked back to see a jumbled up Jack. But none the less, he continued on his line until he reached the Pendant of Parallels. He grabbed the trinket and the scenery started to get back to normal.

The others went up to him and congratulated him on his win while Jack just whimpered away with his robots.

"Way to go Rai."

"You out smarted that Jack Spicer like he was a bowl of Texas chili."

"You have trounced up and down his back side and came up victorious."

"Thanks guys."

"Raimundo?" Raimundo turned around to the source of the soft voice that spoke out. His jaw nearly dropped at the sight of her. She was a tall, beautifully tanned, dark haired, girl in her late teens.

"Krysta?" He flabbergasted and dropped all the Shen-Gong-Wu and raced over to the girl and gave her a big hug.

Meanwhile, the others looked at the scene with questioning looks. But Kimiko was actually fuming a little.

"Who is that?" she asked scornfully.

"I do not know, but it looks like Raimundo knows her," Omi replied. But then Clay caught on to what she meant.

"Why? Are you jealous?" Clay asked with a sly hint in his voice.

"Jealous? Of what?" she retorted.

"That Rai's attention is on another girl."

Kimiko blushed and then stormed off. Raimundo came back to the others.

"Guys, I would like you meet someone, this is Krysta, my big sister," he said.

"Hello, Raimundo told me so much about you in all his emails," Krysta said. "You must be Omi, aren't you adorable?" she cooed.

"So I've been told," Omi said while blushing.

"You would have to be Clay."

"It's a pleasure, mam."

"You are Dojo?"

"The one and only."

"Where is this Kimiko that you told me so much about?"

"I dunno. Hey guys, where did she go?"

"She went off that way after she saw you hugging her," Dojo replied while pointing out behind him.

"I'll go get her," Rai sighed and started off in the same direction as Kimiko.

She was still fuming from what Clay said. Jealous. How can she be jealous? It's not like she had feelings for the Brazilian. Or maybe she did. No. She definitely doesn't have feelings for him. But why was she so angry with him? And that girl. Who does she think she is? Calling him over like a little puppy.

"Kimiko!" She turned around and saw Rai running up to her. He had a questioning look on him as he approached her.

"Why did you run off like that?" he asked.

"Why? Did you want introduce me to your girlfriend?" she asked bitterly.

"Girlfri-Kim, that's wrong in so many ways." He shuttered.

"Why?"

"Because, Krysta's my sister." Her eyes widened and felt tremendously embarrassed.

"I-I'm sorry."

"It's all right, honest mistake."

"No. I thought she was your girlfriend and I guess I got a little... jealous."

"Jealous? Why would you be jeal-" It suddenly struck him and a sly smile came across his face.

"Uh... why are you looking at me like that?"

"You must like me." A sudden pain came across his face as Kimiko drew back from her slap. "You must really like me."

"Ugh, lets just go back to the others." Kimiko started off when a hand touched hers and spun her back and her lips landed onto his. When he pulled back, he looked straight at her flabbergasted eyes.

"I like you too, Kimiko," he said. She stared at him and didn't know what to say. He started to walk off with her at his heels.

When they got back, Raimundo introduced her to Krysta and mentioned that he talked about her the most in his emails. Rai blushed of course. He can always depend on family.
