"The Search and Rescue"
Disclaimer: I do not own 'Xiaolin Showdown' in any way.
Open on the Xiaolin Temple. Day. A rumbling is heard nearby. It is revealed to be Omi running while rolling the Sphere of Yun towards the Temple. He arrives at the Temple's courtyard and stops the ball from rolling.
"My friends! My friends! I have found Dojo! We are in need of your assistance!" Omi yells.
The Temple doors swing open with the Warriors running out. Dizzy from rolling that long way, Dojo starts to wobble back and forth.
"I'll … just be passed out over here," Dojo says as he falls down. Clay, Raimundo, and Kimiko stare at Dojo then look up at Omi.
"Omi, what happened?" Kimiko asks. Omi shakes his head.
"Jack Spicer took Dojo's friend, two Shen-Gong-Wu, and trapped Dojo inside the Sphere of Yun!"
"Wow. It's not like Jack to be this menacing!" Kimiko exclaims. "Too bad Wuya couldn't see it for herself!"
"So, who's this friend of Dojo's?" Raimundo asks. Dojo slowly gets up and frowns.
"Doja … the one dragon I thought I would spend my entire life with …" Dojo sadly says. Raimundo shifts his eyes.
"We … are talking about a girl dragon, right?" Dojo rolls the sphere into Raimundo, knocking him over.
"Of course, it's a girl dragon, sand-for-brains!" Raimundo puts up his hands in defense.
"Ok, ok, chill. It was just a question." Clay steps forward to talk to Dojo.
"We'll find your lady friend, partner." Dojo nods.
"So, let's just go to Spicer's place, break in, and kick his butt like usual. It'll take five minutes, tops," Kimiko says. Raimundo and Clay cheer in agreement.
"It will not be that easy, Kimiko. You see, Jack now has two of the most powerful Shen-Gong-Wu," Omi says.
"Yeah, but come on. With or without Shen-Gong-Wu, Jack is still a little pansy," Raimundo chimes. Omi frowns. "Trust me, Omi, everything will be fine."
Omi looks down, then at Dojo who is still looking very sad.
"Ok. Bring whatever Shen-Gong-Wu you can," Omi says to the Warriors. "We will give Spicer money for his running!"
"That's 'a run for his money'," Raimundo corrects as they all head to the vault.
Meanwhile, at Jack's house, both him and Doja are in his lair. Doja is now in a large containment cell that's indestructible. Jack is working on a Jack-bot while Doja sits in her cell with her arms crossed.
"I'm tellin' you … I have got to get insurance on these Jack-bots. I go through at least 25 a week. It's like they were made to fall apart. It's depressing!" He looks over his shoulder at Doja. "See, the whole concept of a dialogue is that each person in the conversation has to talk." Doja continues to ignore him.
"Otherwise, it's not even a conversation." No response. "It's just me talking to myself." No response. "That cell isn't soundproof!"
Outside in Jack's yard, the Warriors plan their break-in.
"Everyone ready to go?" Clay asks while wielding the Fist of Tebigong. They all nod.
"I will use the Orb of Tornami to freeze Jack's wall and then kick it down!" Omi yells.
"Dude, the front door is unlocked," Raimundo says while opening it. Kimiko, Omi, and Clay make their way in.
"Spicer doesn't deserve the 'evil genius' title," Kimiko laughs.
As soon as they get in, they see the basement door wide open. There's barely any light inside. Omi halts.
"Ok, let's go," Raimundo says. Everyone except Omi begin to walk towards the basement. Clay stops and looks back at him.
"Aren't you comin'?" Omi frowns. The rest also stop.
"What's wrong, Omi?" Kimiko asks.
"This looks very much like a trap. Jack Spicer's not just going to leave the front door unlocked and have the basement door wide open. I smell a fish."
"No, no. You smell something fishy," Raimundo corrects. "Come on, Omi, we have to rescue Doja!" Omi holds the Orb of Tornami close to him as he resumes walking. They all head down the basement stairs.
Meanwhile, Jack starts to taunt Doja by eating pudding in front of her.
"Mm. It's so good," Jack says with a mouthful of pudding. "You're really missing out. Mm. Yeah." He licks the inside of the pudding cup. All of a sudden, he hears footsteps running down the stairs.
The Warriors enter Jack's lair with Shen-Gong-Wu by their side.
"Prepare for … defeat?"
No one is in the lair. All of a sudden, every light turns on, and then they hear the basement door shut loudly. Chains shoot out of each corner of the door, locking it tightly. Bars come down on each window, and the walls turn to steel. Jack-bots appear from the shadows, surrounding the Warriors. The Jack-bots shoot long ropes from their fingers at the Warriors, which instantly ties them up. The Jack-bots extend their robotic arms and grab the Warriors' Shen-Gong-Wu, placing them inside their chests. A boom box on a nearby table turns on. Jack's evil laugh plays.
"Ok … so it was a trap," Raimundo states as the other Warriors stare angrily at him.
The Warriors struggle to free themselves from the tight ropes but fail.
"This isn't like Jack! He's an actual threat now!" Kimiko exclaims.
As they continued to struggle, the ropes tighten. Raimundo let out a sigh.
"It's no use, guys. These ropes are too strong! We should listen to the little guy (Omi) more often."
Unbeknownst to the Warriors, Jack is actually located right below them. He stands on a chair and peeks through a vent that looks out onto his lair. He cackles.
"Building a second lair right under my original one was pure genius! Pure evil genius!" He cackled some more until the chair under him broke. While screaming, he hits the ground hard. Then, his belt unbuckles, revealing a huge gut. He puts his hands around his big belly.
"I got to stop taunting my prisoners with pudding," he moans.
Back upstairs, the Warriors contemplate a way to break free.
"I'm plum out of ideas. What about you, Omi?" Clay asks. The young monk closes his eyes, and at the same time, the nine dots on his forehead appear. They start to shine.
"Water!" Omi yells as his body turns to liquid. He slips out of the ropes and flies into the air. Landing safely on the ground, Omi turns solid again. He poses in his martial arts stance and frowns at the Jack-bots.
The robots look at each other and shake their heads. A button emerges from their chests reading "self-destruct." They all press their own buttons while Omi watches them explode. He smiles and runs over to his friends. They cheer for him. He karate chops the ropes, which cut through them instantly.
Back where Jack is, he finds another chair and looks through the vent once again.
"Ah! They got out of my trap! Well … at least they won't be able to find me down here," he says to himself.
Back upstairs. "Did you guys hear that crash a few minutes ago down there?" Kimiko asks while pointing down.
"Let me take a look," Raimundo says while pulling out the Falcon's Eye. He points it to the ground. "Falcon's Eye!" He spots Doja in her cell. "Guys, Spicer and Doja are right below us!"
"Then, let's finish this!" Omi yells. He pulls out the Serpent's Tail, and all the Warriors put one hand on it.
"Serpent's Tail!" they yell together. The Tail takes them all through the floor to Jack's new lair. Right after landing, they pose in their martial arts stance. Jack slowly turns his head and notices them. He screams as the new chair he was on breaks.
"Jack Spicer! Free Doja or suffer a humiliating defeat!" Omi exclaims.
Jack gets back up on his feet. "I may have a port-belly, but I can still move! Doja can be freed by pressing on this remote right here." He holds up the remote. "And none of you are getting your hands on it. Doja's going to find a lot of Shen-Gong-Wu for me. And with Dojo in the Sphere of Yun, you guys have no chance of ever finding a new Wu!"
Raimundo steps forward and holds out his hand. "The remote, Spicer. Save yourself the embarrassment of getting your butt kicked for the 100th time." Jack frowns.
"Try and take it from me," Jack retorts. Raimundo shrugs and charges at Jack. He doesn't move until Raimundo gets close.
"Rush Bracelet!" Jack yells as he speeds out of the way of Raimundo's charge. Raimundo screams as he tries to put on the brakes but fails, running into the wall. Jack laughs.
"Loser. Next!"
Omi and Clay nod to each other. Omi pulls out of the Orb of Tornami and points it to Jack.
"Orb of Tornami! Ice!" Omi yells as water shoots out of the Orb.
"Rush Bracelet!" Jack exclaims which moves him out of the way as the water from the Orb hits the wall behind him, freezing it instantly. At the same time, Clay yells "Seismic Kick! Earth!" which creates a large crack in the ground. Jack trips on the crack and falls into a hole Clay made using his element. Just the top half of his body is seen. Omi quickly uses the Orb of Tornami's ice power to trap Jack inside the hole.
"Hey! No fair!" Jack whines. Kimiko walks over and swipes the remote from Jack's hand. She points it towards Doja's cell.
"You're free now, Doja." She presses the button on the remote, but there's no response. Kimiko takes a close look at it, and then presses it again. Raimundo walks over.
"Hey, why isn't this thing working?" Raimundo asks. Jack cackles to himself.
"I can't believe you mighty Xiaolin Warriors fell for the oldest trick in the book! That's my garage door opener!"
Clay growls then gets right up in Jack's face.
"Tell us how to open the cell right now, you dirty snake!"
"I don't know. I never planned on ever letting her out."
With an angry look, Kimiko gets into Jack's face. "Then, how did you expect her to find Shen-Gong-Wu for you!" Jack shrunk down.
"Oops?"
Kimiko turns around and runs towards the cell. She then jumps into the air yelling, "Judallet Flip! Fire!" A trail of fire shoots across the floor and then around the entire cell. A few seconds go by until the flames clear. The cell remains intact.
Clay walks up to it and then yells "Fist of Tebigong!" He smashes the Fist onto the cell but that also has no effect.
"It's useless, guys. This thing's tougher than steel," Clay says. Omi then smiles big.
"I am struck with inspiration!" he exclaims. "Using the Golden Tiger Claws, one of us will be able to transport inside the cell!"
"Good thinking, Omi. So … did any of you guys bring the Claws with you?" Raimundo asks. Kimiko and Clay shake their heads while Omi stares at Jack.
"… What?" Jack asks.
"You took the Golden Tiger Claws from me, Jack Spicer. I would like for you to return them." Jack looks away from Omi.
"Yeah … about that, well, see, I kind of, sort of, don't have them anymore." The Warriors look at each other confused.
"He's lying, guys. Probably hiding them somewhere in his lair," Raimundo says. He pulls out the Falcon's Eye to take a quick look around. "Falcon's Eye!" He scans the lair carefully but doesn't find the Wu. "He's right. The Tiger Claws aren't here."
"What did you do with them, Jack? Don't tell me you made another trade with Pandabubba!" Kimiko yells. Jack shakes his head.
"You guys probably won't believe me, but I was mugged by this huge and horrible beast right after I took Doja. This thing overpowered me –"
"Who can't?" Kimiko interrupts. Jack smirks at her.
"Anyway … it looked like it was in a hurry - like it was looking for something. So, right after it took the Claws, it disappeared into a portal and I haven't seen it since." All of a sudden, Doja's eyes widened and then she screamed real loud.
"No … no. Please … stop. Not now!" Doja yells. Flames appear in her eyes and she begins to shake.
Meanwhile, outside, Dojo appears in Jack's yard rolling fast towards the lair. He crashes through the lair wall and stops himself from rolling any further.
"Surrender, Spicer, or else –" Dojo notices nobody is in the lair other than the disassembled Jack-bots from earlier. Then, he hears a loud scream and gasps. "Doja!"
Back downstairs, Doja was shaking uncontrollably and an orange glow appears around her. The Warriors stare at her in shock.
"She's going to blow!" Jack screeches. The Warriors run to take cover. Jack looks around and worries. "Hey! Take me with you!" He struggles to free himself from the hole he's been trapped in. The flames in Doja's eyes grow bigger as she braces her hands against the sides of the cell. The orange glow around her also grows.
Upstairs, Dojo begins to bounce up and down, trying to get the sphere in the air. He succeeds and the top of the sphere hits the ceiling, sending Dojo to the ground and back up again. He does this a few more times until the sphere hits the ceiling once more, and then sends him crashing through the ground into Jack's second lair. He lands right in front of Jack. Dojo stares at Doja in terror.
"What's wrong with her!" Jack yells. Dojo gulps and looks into Doja's eyes. A tear runs down her face. All of a sudden, the flames in Doja's eyes shoot out, burning two holes through the cell, which hits the Sphere of Yun but does no damage. Because the flames hit the Sphere at such force, it sends the ball rolling. The flames ricochet off into the ceiling. The orange light around Doja intensifies and practically blinds everyone. They hear an explosion, and dust clouds their sight. The Warriors and Jack cough due to all the dust. Once it clears, all they see is the cell completely shattered with Doja nowhere in sight. Clay looks around and notices all the walls have been broken down. Jack stares in shock upon seeing his lair destroyed.
"Doja is after a Shen-Gong-Wu that just revealed itself! You have to follow her!" Dojo exclaims.
"You mean … that's what all that was? And here all you get is a rash when new Shen-Gong-Wu reveal themselves," Raimundo points out.
"No, Doja was trying to hold her senses in, like she's been doing for the last 1,500 years. But, for some reason, she wasn't able to this time," Dojo says. Raimundo looks at the others confused.
"Huh?"
"Come, Dojo! You will help me find her!" Omi yells.
"Me? Uh, if you haven't already noticed, I can't really fly due to recent events," Dojo says while staring down at Jack. Omi grabs the Rush Bracelet from Jack and holds it up in the air.
"We shall use the Rush Bracelet to quickly find Doja!" Omi jumps on top of the Sphere and equips the Bracelet. "We will find her together, Dojo. Remember … I gave you my Xiaolin word." Dojo smiles and lowers his head, staring straight ahead.
"Let's go, Omi."
"Rush Bracelet!" Omi shrieks. He begins to run very fast on top of the sphere, rolling with him as he ran. They zoom out of the lair off to find Doja. Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo also run out. Jack sobs, still looking at his ruined lair. Then, he notices everyone has left him and immediately stops sobbing.
"Uh … still in the hole here!"
Cut to black.
