Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, blah, blah, blah, Except for my characters and Wu blah, blah, blah, Let's just get going
Chapter 2
It has been two months since Nick has come to the temple and he is progressing greatly. Nick has grown close to all the monks, and is helping them all train with their elemental skills. He also senses the fact that there is maybe a little…uhhh…"thing" going on between them, or at least there should be. Four Shen Gung Wu have revealed themselves, but all had disappeared mysteriously by the time the monks had gotten there.
Our dark villain 'friend' in his dark lair. Here is the real beginning of chapter 2.
The shadowy figure is growing increasingly impatient with something, or rather, someone. He angrily tapped his fingers against his chair arm. He frowned and snapped his fingers, and three ninjas appeared, all dressed in black. One was carrying a spear, one a sword, and the third a pair of nunchucks. They bowed.
"Ninjas, I need to call up a debt someone owes me." He said. "Bring me Jack Spicer, his Monkey Staff, and Jihn Do Gloves. But be wary! With Jack Spicer wielding the Monkey Staff and the Jihn Do Gloves, he will have the strength, agility, and balance of a monkey and the Kung Fu abilities of a master. Now go." The warriors headed for the door. "Oh! And one last thing. Bring him back. Alive." he smiled evily. I'll keep him alive…for now. He laughed quietly.
Temple
"Look alive, people! Master Fung says after we've finished training with our elements, we can have the rest of the day off." Rai told everyone. Then a sigh of relief could be heard.
The monks all looked relieved. The temperature had reached 100° and the monks were dripping with sweat. Kimiko was fanning herself with one of those old, Japanese fans, Clay was sprawled over a concrete path, looking absolutely miserable. Nick's shirt was stuck to his back with sweat, and he was trying to get it unstuck. Meanwhile, Omi was floating face down in the fountain. He suddenly shot his head up ad too a deep breath.
"For once, I am happy that training will be over. I need to cool on," Omi said.
"That's cool off," Rai said. "but anyways, let's just get this over with. Nick, I guess You're first."
Nick was going to protest, but was to hot to, so he just stepped into the arena. "Wudai Saturn- Metal!" he whipped around and threw several bars of metal in the air. "Wudai Metal-Spikes!" Nick Yelled as he turned the metal bars into spikes. "Tornado Strike-Metal!" Nick yelled as he turned the spikes into a metal tornado. Then, he dropped his arms and the metal turned into a statue of himself giving a thumbs up. Nick walked up to the statue, leaned against it, and imitated his pose, dripping with sweat.
The others were left gaping at how much his skills in just two months, They had only just gotten robbed by the Chameleon-Bot!. "Next," Nick said smiling smugly.
"Next was Omi. "Wudai Neptune-Water!" Omi took water from a nearby stream. He twirled it around show-offingly and sent it flying at the other monks. At the last second, he shouted "Wudai Neptune-Ice!" freezing it in mid flight. HE jumped over to in front of the other monks, faced the ice, and shouted, "Serpent Strike-Ice!" He then turned the ice into a flexible ice whip with a knife-like end. He spun it around, whipping at plants and rocks, slicing them in half, "Wudai Form-Ice!" This time, he made the ice surround himself, turning into a huge ice monster.
"Woah." Nick said plainly.
"Woah? Oh, come on! Is that all you can say? I am a giant ice creature! What do I to impress you?" Omi asked angrily.
"Pretty Good, Omi." Kimiko said, "But watch what real training can do." Kimiko grinned. "Wudai Mars- Fire!" She cried, fireballs appearing in her hands, "Watch an learn"
Jack's Lair
Smash! Boom! Crunch! Jack Spicer was practicing his Wu skills by destroying his Jack-bot cut outs. He was, however, unaware of three ninjas sneaking into his lair.
He put his hands on his knees, panting and sweating heavily. He wasn't wearing a shirt, showing off a toned torso, which he had got from hours in the gym, which he began doing two months ago after the huge attack on the temple. He was no longer a cry baby wannabe villain. He had changed, and it had been the Dark Figure, or Al, as we'll call him, who had convinced him to do so. All had given the Jihn Do gloves to Jack, and said that Jack now owed him. Jack knew this, but he chose to block this memory out of his thoughts. All had told Jack to be at his lair six hours ago, and he had chosen not to go. Suddenly, Jack's security system went off.
"Oh, great." Jack said. "Him." Jack looked frightened. While it was true he wasn't the same villain he was two months ago, he had reason to be scared. Al was a ruthless murderer and Jack knew he would be fighting for his life. "Wu bots!Come!" Jack ordered. 'Okay. Just listen he's around here somewhere.'
Then, Al's ninjas appeared. Jack let out a sigh of relief. 'PHEW, Al always makes his kills in person and those are his ninjas, that means that he's not going to kill me. Yet,' Jack thought.
"I'm ready for you. Wu bots, attack!" Then four Jack-Bots, each wielding a different Wu charged forward. (A/N: Now we know where all those other Wu went)
At Al's Lair,
All watched the battle unfold on TV monitors from his lair.
"Foolish Jack Spicer, you are fighting a battle which you cannot win."
Meanwhile, at the Temple…
Kimiko shot her fire into the sky, creating two criss-crossing beams of fire. "Wudai Fire Eagle!" She shouted as she turned the beams into an eagle that flew at her and lifted her off the ground and let out a huge roar. The monks were amazed, but the show wasn't going to stop there. "Wudai Fire-Shield!" Then the eagle landed and turned into a fire shield which she expanded and absorbed into one hand. She smiled "Wudai Fire-Fist!" Then, the fire surrounded her hand and she jetted it forward in an arm and fist of flames. When the fire finally disintegrated Kimiko smiled shyly , leaving the others petrified.
"WOAH!" Nick screamed.
"Alright Clay, you're next." Rai said, "Let's see what you got!"
Back at Jack's Lair
Alright, Al," Jack said, "let's see what your ninjas can do." The ninja with the sword attacked one of the bots, when Jack shouted, "Wundai Helmet!" and the ninja was blown away with two blasts, one fire and one of lightning. (The Wundai Helmet is a helmet/mask that looks like a cracked skull and gives one the ability of all the Shen Gung Wu, for a limited time only). "Net of Disintegration!"
That Wu bot started swinging at that ninja, who dodged every swipe(The Net of Disintegration is a long-handled net that disintegrates everything caught in it). "Gloves of Metallica!" Jack activated another one of the Wu, which were a pair of silver and black gloves that, when activated, creates a rolling metal spiked disk around the user. It rolled at the ninja, who simply jumped over it, but was Fist of Tebigonged by the robot with the Wundai Helmet. Then, the nun chucks ninja destroyed that Wu bot. "Surrender, Jack Spicer!"
"No.Way." Jack said.
At the Temple…Again
"Wudai Crater Earth!" Clay hit the ground and several tall, thin spikes of earth.
"Wudai Earth-Shield!" He drew the spires of earth back down and turned them into a shield. "Wudai Quake-Earth!" He shouted as he stomped on the ground, creating a huge crack in the ground and caused it to shake, shattering Clay's shield. He wrapped it up with "Wudai For-Earth!" and he turned himself into a giant rock creature.
"Impressive," complimented Master Fung, appearing out of nowhere. This scare caused Kimiko to scream and jump back. Rai caught her, bridal style. They both blushed. They leaned forward, about to kiss when…Rai realized what was happening, and dropped her. She stood back up, pissed as hell and was ready to kill him when Master Fung saved Rai's life.
"Raimundo, you are next. You may go." Master Fung said. Rai stepped into the ring and began.
Back at Jack's Lair…Again.
Smash! Jack's Wu bot with the Net of Disintigration had been knocked back into the one with the Metallica Gloves.
"Lai Tang Lantern!" Jack shouted. The fourth Wu bot shot several blasts of ice at the ninjas, before being smashed itself. Jack was out pf Bots. "Grrr…Monkey Staff, Jihn Do Gloves!" Jack shouted. He charged at the ninjas and did a swinging kick, taking out one of the ninjas. Then the sword ninja took the staff and the gloves. Jack was finished.
"You're coming with us, Spicer," Said the spear ninja, gathering up the six Wu.
At the Temple-Again, Again-I'm getting tired of that.
"Shoku Gale-Wind!" Raimundo shouted, bringing the wind in a twister around him, lifting him off the ground. "Shoku Tiger-Wind!" He then shot a jet stream of wind forward up rooting several trees. He criss-crossed it into the sky and shouted "Shoku Orion-Wind!" turning into his Orion form and bringing the wind back to him. "Shoku HurricaneWhip!" He yelled, throwing his arm forward and sending a huge, fast gust of wind. "Now, for my final move, Shoku Form-Wind!" He disappeared into thin air or rather, he became it. He reappeared behind everyone, and said " I rock, don't I?" successfully scaring the monks and causing Omi to stumble back into the fountain.
While the others were laughing at him, Master Fung turned around, worry plastered on his face. Dojo sensed something was wrong and asked, "There was a reason for all that wasn't there?"
"Yes." Master Fung told his dragon companion, "Ifear the monks are about to meet the greatest evil the world has ever seen. I also fear that we are on the brink of The Heylin War, as prophesized, the end of the world."
At Al's Lair
"Hello, Jack Spicer. So glad you could join me. I was beginning to think that you weren't even going to come. But I know that's not the case, because if it were, I would be very, very angry." Al said.
"What do you want from me?" Jack asked.
"You to repay your debts to me." Al told him.
"I'll do anything, just leave me alone." Jack said
"Of course." Al said, laughing and getting up from his chair and approaching Jack. "I just have one thing to ask of you. How fast can you build another Robo-Jack." He said, smiling evilly.
Later that Week at the temple
"Guys, Guys, Guys, we've got a category four Shen Gung Wu alert!" Dojo yelled. "It's the Fifi Xiago. It's a lesser known Wu that transforms into a dog shaped camper."
"Finally!" Nick said. "Let's get this Wu before we get skunked again."
"Agreed." Everyone else said.
So they were off! To the desolate wasteland that is Australia, (Just Kidding!). When they got there, they saw
Jack Spicer sneaking off with the Wu.
"Foot over the Wu, Jack Spicer!" Omi said.
"That's hand over the Wu, cheeseball. And, since you asked nicely, No freaking Way!" Jack laughed.
"Hmmm…Jack's changed." Kimiko noticed, as he was wearing a tight shirt. "He's almost kinda-"
She was cut off by Nick thinking ou loud. "Hmmm…what would my sister say at a time like this? Ahhh! Kinda hot?" He asked, eyebrowing Kimiko.
"He better not be." Rai said to her through clenched teeth, head spinning. Kimiko just smiled innocently.
"He's getting away!" Clay yelled. "Wudai Form-Earth!" Clay turned into a rock creature and threw Nick at Jack.
"Senvil Glove!" Nick shouted, activating his Wudai Weapon. Then, two hammers on chains appeared out of his hands and he swung them at Jack.
At the moment of impact, Jack's head fell off, revealing it to be Robo-Jack. Nick was left standing wide-eyed.
"Déjà vu." Kimiko said. "We better get back to the temple, ASAP!"
"Right! Let's Go!" Rai said dragging along a dazed Nick.
Back at the temple…that is starting to piss me off.
"Jack Spicer is escaping with the Wu" Omi cried.
"Seeya later, losers!" Jack laughed as he escaped into the woods.
"Get him!" Rai yelled.
They ran into the woods. Running into the woods, they suddenly stopped. Ahead of them, they saw a dark figure approaching. Someone we all know to well. He stepped out of the shadows revealing a muscular, sexy (if you're a girl) figure. He had midnight black hair that went down to the center of his back, spiky and untamed hair. His cosyume was also very interesting. It looked exactly like the monks' showdown outfits, except it had no hood. And instead of gold it was red and black instead of blue. And the symbol on his chest was a strangely-shaped A. And his eyes. His pupils and irises lacked any extraordinary color. They were just black. Black. The darkest shade of black you had ever seen. And when he smiled that evil smile, it revealed four very sharp canine teeth.
""You want to get to get Jack Spicer," he said "You have to go through me." He cackled 'My trap worked perfectly.'
"Very well then." Omi said. He jumped at him and started rapidly punching and kicking him. He dodged them as if they were nothing. He then grabbed Omi's head and threw him back at the other monks.
"I guess it's time to get tough." Kimiko said, "Wudai Fire-Fist!" Kimiko shouted. She threw her powerful attack at him, who just deflected it sideways with two fingers, as if it were a falling pebble.
"Could you make this any easier?" He asked, chuckling a bit.
"Now it's on. Shoku Tiger-Wind!"
"Wudai Saturn-Metal!"
"Serpent's Strike-Ice!"
He caught one of the metal beams and used it as a wind breaker. Omi's attack, however, caught him of guard. He was thrown back. The warriors took advantage of his moment of weakness.
"Wudai Orion Formation!" They all shouted. Nick took his place crouched down, hands on the ground. Omi on his shoulders. They turned into there Wudai form ,Nick was silver.
Al scoffed. "Oh, what stupidity is this?"
"Wudai Mars-Fire!" Kimiko sent a huge ray of fire at him.
"Wudai Crater-Earth!" Clay sent several rocks at him.
"Wudai Saturn-Metal!" Nick threw ten metal beams at him.
"Shoku Gale-Wind!" Rai sent a tornado rushing at him.
"Wudai Neptune-Ice!" Omi fired a blast of ice.
All was ready this time. He hit the fire aside, avoided the rocks, jumped above the metal, withstood the cyclone, and grabbed the ice. He turned it into a ball of purple energy.
"You might want to move," Al said, grinning evilly. "Sasuke Heylin-Magic!" He then unleashed the most powerful blast the monks had ever seen, decimating everything in its path. One which, luckily, the monks weren't in. The monks wereleft gaping as they changed back to normal. "You like that? That is true power." Al said.
"Who-who are you?" Omi asked.
"I am your darkest fears come alive. I am the New Hope for evil. I am Allenok, (al en ock) most powerful warrior on the planet. Heylin Sasuke Dragon of Dark Magic." he said.
The monks were speechless. Frozen still. The first one to react was Kimiko, who jumped at him, charing up her attack. But Allenok struck first. He kicked her in the stomach and sent her flying. Now Rai was pissed. Allenok saw and pushed away all the other monks, except for Rai. Rai jumped at Allenok and threw a volley of punches, and Allenok blocked them all.
"Impressive," Allenok said. "I feel your anger…rage…frustration…hate. It fuels you. Gives you strength." Allenok smiled. "Repulse the Monkey!" he pushed Rai back, who quickly recovered an attacked again.
Shoku Gale-Wind!" Rai sent a gust of wind of wind at Allenok, who absorbed it with one hand.
He then changed its image so it looked like the space view of the Earth. "You see this?" He asked. "If you join me, I can make all this…"He spun the globe. "yours."
"I'll never join you." Rai send angrily.
"Oh, I think you will. In time you come to realize your evil and destructive destiny." He said, "Think about it. I'll see you later." Then he disappeared.
Rai stood still, dazed and confused. He felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Rai? Are you okay?" Kimiko asked, a concerned look on her face. He noticed a gash on her cheek. Rai remained silent and she didn't question why. She grabbed his arm and leaned against his shoulder. She grabbed his hand with her free hand, and began rubbing his arm gently and lovingly.
-Later-
Raimundo went to bed early that night and no one questioned why. That night, while Master Fung was studying the heavens, with astronomy book in hand. He looked at the moon and realized that Next Friday night tomorrow would be the sixth full moon of the year. Suddenly, his stomach dropped. He turned back the book 100 years in his book. Then his eyes widened and he turned pale. He dropped his book before uttering one more word and running inside to alert Master Monk Guan.
"No."
To Be Continued…
Next time,
"The Loa Mang Loan Moon: the end of the world as we know it."
"This could be the final chapter of humanity."
"It is time to tell you of the Dark Secret of which Allenok spoke."
So that's it, Chapter two. Sorry it took so long, but this chaptert is 3,068 words long.
Next time, you find why the title is what is and you will find out the answers to some of the questions in the summary, which I did change.
Review, please! I'd like at least ten reviews before I update again.
