Hey yall, Sorry for not updating in like…months, but I now I've recently been receiving random e-mails to update so I thought to myself, Meh, what the hell? This chapter might be incredibly short so I'll apologize in advance.
Chapter 4: A Different Kind of Showdown
Raimundo's P.O.V
"Wuya?" I asked. "Yes and recent reports have even seen Chase Young on the move." the monk replied. "This smells fishier than a cat food in a can." Clay stated. "Does he always do that?" Keiko asked Kimiko. "Unfortunately, yes. Yes, he does." she said as she pondered all the abuse on the English language. "Alright, then we all shall go together!" Omi beamed. "And Jermaine, I will show you so most funky fresh moves!" He gave Jermaine a toothy smile and a thumbs up. Jermaine replies, "Looking forward to it, Omi."
On the battlefield, which was just a field a few seconds ago, we caught sight of Wuya, Jack, and Jason. "There he is." Jason pointed at me. "Aha. So he lives." Wuya stated. "Hello, Raimundo." She tried to say in a seductive voice. "Ugh. Hello yourself, you old hag." Kimiko said in my defense. I looked at her and she was ready for a fight. "Oh well, so the Jason bot failed. It doesn't matter seeing that Jack bots are way better. GO! Annihilatify!" A swarm of Jack Bots came flying out of nowhere. "Crap, an ambush! Spread out!" I yelled.
Jermaine's P.O.V
"Spread out!" I heard. So I jumped out of the way and landed on my feet. However, Keiko was unsuccessful and was circled. "Uh-oh. Let's use…Fancy Feet!" I put the sandals on and BAM! I went incredibly fast. "Now, Fist of Tebigong!" I yelled out charging at the crowd of Jack bots. I mowed them over like nothing. She was terrified. She wasn't used to this kind of thing. "Hey, are you al-AH!" Wack! I was pushed back by someone. "Well, if it isn't my old apprentice." a familiar voice sounded.
"Get out of the way, Master." I replied sarcastically. "So you're saying you want this girl to die?" Chase held her up by the collar. "Keiko!" a voice yelled. "Shimo Staff!" WACK! It knocked Chase back and the force caused him to let go. Omi caught her. I got up from my stunned state and walked over to pat Omi. "Thanks." was what I said as I passed him. "Ha!" I used the Fancy Feet/Fist of Tebigong combo to hit Chase. Right before I was to hit him. I stopped. "What!?" I yelled confused. My eyes widened as I gazed upon the force that stopped me. It was Chase's finger that held the impact of the strong combo. His next movement was simple. A flick to my forehead. It sent me flying and the Fist fell out of my hands.
After a rough landing, I reached out for the Fist but Chase grabbed it too. "Jermaine, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." "Name your game." I shot back. "A simple game of catch. First one to drop it or not catch the Fist loses." "We're throwing the Fist? Whatever. I wager my Fancy Feet. What do you wager?" I asked curious to know. "Didn't you know the new rules of Xiaolin Showdowns now?" Chase asked. I shook my head. "Xiaolin Showdowns are now fought for one's chi. You try and win…at all costs." Chase smiled venomously.
Raimundo's P.O.V
"Do you accept this challenge?" Chase asked. "Let's dance, Master. Wait, scratch that. Let's just dance." Jermaine replied. "LET"S GO! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" The terrain became all abstract like Picasso's paintings. "Woohoo!" I yelled as we were lifted up into the sky. "GONG YI TMPAI!" They yelled. "Go Jermaine!" Omi yelled. We started to cheer him on.
The field of grass we were standing on suddenly became a bunch of pillars. "Let's see you catch this!" He yelled as he threw the Fist right at Chase's face. Chase just caught it with his finger. "Lucky catch." I heard Jermaine mutter loudly. Chase jumped high as he threw the Fist right at Jermaine's head causing him to fall of the current pillar he was standing on. "Ack!" he muttered. He luckily caught the Fist and hung on to the pillar with one hand. Chase was standing right above him. "So, it all comes down to this. Days of training with me and later years of self training, all to take me down. I'm flattered Jermaine. But it's futile as we both know." Chase chuckled at stomped on Jermaine's hand.
We heard his cry of agony as Chase did so. "That's unfair." Omi said simply. We all couldn't bear to see Jermaine lose. Suddenly, we heard Chase's "oomph" as he flew back. Jermaine managed to fling himself on top of the pillar. "Whew, thought you might've broken my throwing hand." Jermaine pulled back and looked like he was about to launch it, but he anticipated Chase's reflex as he went back farther. Jermaine faked his throw and it went very little distance. We started high fives and hugs until we heard Jermaine say, "No…"
Chase had caught the Fist and let it slowly drop. And as we saw Jermaine lunge for it, we saw the Fist fall into the abyss. Jermaine had lost, and so was his chi.
The Showdown ended and Jermaine laid there. Chase gathered his spoils and claimed Jermaine's chi in a bottle as a prize. "Desperate fools, you have now witnessed the horrors of the upcoming Millenium War. You have but limited warriors and limited time, before the Heylin side wins. So long, Xialoin monks." Chase left abruptly as we mourned the loss of our dear friend Jermaine.
Later after taking Jermaine back to the temple…
I started pounding the wall. The others were angry as well but would not show it. Clay and Omi had solemn looks and Kimiko was comforting Keiko as she was on the verge of tears. "I vow…" I started. The others looked to me. "I vow and I swear, that I will avenge Jermaine no matter what the cost." I took Jermaine's hand and whispered into my unconscious friend's ear. "Don't worry. I'll get your chi back." Omi was standing right behind me. "Vengeance is not one of the teachings or morals of a Xiaolin Dragon. However, concentrating on getting Jermaine's chi will be essential if we want to win this war. I wish to advise you Raimundo, to remember what Master Fung taught us." I nodded, but the anger never subsided. Maybe it never will until I achieved that awful goal…
Whew…I haven't done this in a long time. I was actually planning to never return to fanfiction, for reasons that need not to be explained. Don't worry. I'll try and finish the story. Thanks for reading and review please!
