As soon as the booming voice had informed them that the Xiaolin Showdown was about to start, they were all ready to go. Octavius had his tentacles swaying around him, all four of them keeping a single red eye on Chase and Curt, both tensed, and Jack, who stood next to Octavius had his taser drawn and made sure it was on the highest voltage possible.

You do know we could potentially DIE a painful death if we lose? Jack asked in thought mode as he adjusted the voltage to the black gun in his hands.

I'm trying not to think about that possibility. Octavius sighed. Chase who had yelled "Gon Yi Tempai!" interrupted the exchange of thoughts and a flash of white light appeared out of nowhere, corrupting Octavius's vision. When he opened his eyes, he was quite surprised to find greenery around him and a waterfall. He seemed to be in a large oval surrounded by bush and large trees with the waterfall on his left side. If he were a tourist he would sit down and appreciate it but unfortunately there was a talking lizard on the other side of the oval.

"Are you ready to die?" hissed Chase as he took a fighting stance. Octavius raised an eyebrow and shrugged.

He is too full of himself scoffed the upper left.

All humans are full of themselves…and bullshit agreed the upper right.

Language…

Chase sped across the oval at frightening speed on all fours. Octavius only had time to step aside as Chase shot past him only to stop and deliver a kick in his gut.

Jack's gonna feel that in the morning… gasped Octavius as he stumbled on his feet. The upper left tentacle moved in front of his to block Chase's fist before lunging forward, hitting Chase square in the chest. The lizard groaned as the metal connected with flesh, which would soon leave a large bruise.

"You are going to pay for this." Chase said simply. Octavius scoffed in remark.

"As far as I can tell, you are not proving you're the Prince of Darkness."

"I'm just getting warmed up."

Meanwhile, Harry and Norman stared at the now empty room. Previously, two lizards and two humans, one with extra body parts, were in this room with the Goblins.

"Where did they go?" asked Harry as he walked around to where Jack once stood. His father shrugged his ghostly shoulders.

"Things couldn't get any weirder." Norman sighed as he circled around his son's head. Harry frowned and waved his father off. He had spotted something across the room, something that previously wasn't in the room. He should know, he had paced up and down this room many a time, thinking of ways to kill Spiderman and the instrument to kill him with, often picking up random things and contemplating whether it would make a good murder weapon, once picking up a certificate and actually considering to papercut Spiderman to death.

"What's this remote doing in here?" Harry whispered to himself. He knelt down and grabbed a black remote, partially white from the dust that came off the wall when Octavius had seized the painting of Norman and used it to hit the two lizards as they scaled up the building's walls. Norman flew closer and inspected the remote. As said before it was black but it was strangely alien. The strange curves and buttons kind of gave it away.

"Press a button. Maybe it explodes something." giggled Norman, slightly reverting to his old self. Harry pressed the red button on the top right corner of the remote. Immediately, a screen popped up from nowhere.

"It's just a television screen…" moaned Norman; annoyed the remote couldn't cause chaos and mayhem. Harry though was ecstatic.

"Not just any screen! 180 cm wide and as thin as an ipod nano!" he squealed. He immediately grabbed his armchair and sat in front of it and watched T.V. He slowly realized that what he was watching was very familiar.

"Hey… that's Octavius!" he realized after a few minutes of watching.

"It is! How is he doing?" asked Norman. Harry peered at the screen. Octavius and Chase were pretty much equal, although it seemed that Octavius was getting tired much quicker than Chase.

"He won't make it much longer. He needs some sort of advantage over this guy…" Harry answered. He thought for a few seconds.

"You know, it's true."

"What's true?"

"When your on T.V, you kind of put on ten kilos…"

But back to Octavius. You know, in the animal kingdom, a lizard can be one of the most frightening and dangerous of all creatures. The crocodile exerts 500 kilos or so of force when it snaps its jaws around its dinner. In other words, if the crocodile's mouth was big enough to fit a car in it, it could pretty much turn it to mush without losing a single tooth over it. The death adder, another dangerous reptile, and uses its tail to fool birds for it looks very much like a juicy worm. It then proceeds to strike the unfortunate bird with its poisonous fangs, which kills it almost immediately, before enjoying its warm dinner with a dash of salt. Octopuses are equally scary as their tentacles can squeeze the life out of anything and on some occasions poison their victims so they can enjoy a fresh meal with the meal still being very fresh, it would be still breathing. The blue-ringed octopus, for example, looks harmless as it is tiny and colourful and pretty and cute and that you want to squeeze it because it's so damn adorable but the fact is you die within 20 to 30 minutes since it is extremely poisonous and extremely painful (imagine childbirth except nothing pleasant pops out) and it makes it worse for another fact is they exist in beaches where a hospital is 3,000 miles away from the place where you were hugging the adorable octopus. I should also mention that they all exist in Australia, making that place extremely dangerous but that is another story.

"YOU ASSHOLE!!!"

"THAT'S FOR SLAMMING ME AGAINST THE GODDAMN TREE!!!"

So technically if a lizard and an octopus could become human and fight, it would pretty much look like Chase and Octavius. Chase was putting his sharp, 500-kilos-of-force mouth to good use and even though his tail wasn't attracting any birds, it was indeed painful when it connected with the victim. Octavius certainly wasn't tiny, harmless, colourful and adorable yet he managed to fill the poisonous part, when he found a plant amongst the bushes with powerful enough poison to kill a herd of elephants. God bless his botany class. That, and he were currently squeezing the life out of Chase.

"Stay still, I'm trying to kill you," growled Octavius. Chase struggled out of the iron grasps of the two lower tentacles, while trying to avoid the poisoned dagger that the upper right tentacle had produced, below its red eye.

"That isn't going to happen!" roared Chase as he pulled the two tentacles apart releasing himself from their deadly grip. He jumped out of the way as the poisoned dagger hit the ground he once stood, before rebounding off a nearby tree to claw out Octavius's heart. The doctor brought his hand up and yelled in pain as the claws ripped away flesh. The tentacles shrieked and grabbed Chase by the leg and swung him around before letting him go. Chase's back made a loud crunch as he connected with a hidden rock, camouflaged between the bush and trees. Octavius winced as he moved his arm for better view. The fabric was cut to shreds around the wound and was soaked red. His arm had three deep gashes and blood was oozing out. Octavius gasped as he adjusted the coat so it could cover the wound and thought how long it was going to heal. His heart nearly stopped beating as he thought about Jack. The kid was weak enough but he was sure that he would pass out as soon as he felt the wound.

Father! Chase is getting back up!

Let us strike him on the spot! Then we can go help Jack!

Octavius glanced up. Chase was getting back on his feet while trying to feed oxygen to his lungs. He shot a look at Octavius, who flinched in response. He had just noticed that the eyes were amber. The eyes showed anger and hatred.

"Don't you dare go easy on me just because I broke my back." snarled Chase. He gave a groan as he slowly reverted to his human self. Octavius gave a grin. He walked up to the semi-defeated Chase and held out his hand.

"Give up now and no more pain will be put on you." smiled the doctor. Chase stared at the hand and growled.

"Didn't you hear me before?"

Chase grabbed the hand and before Octavius had time to retaliate, he was flipped upside down and on his back. He gulped as he saw Chase raise his fist in the air and in slow motion watched it approach his face. Chase looked triumphant now, his mouth transforming into a grin. It then started turning back into a frown and then a look of horror as a tentacle shot out from behind Octavius's back and grabbed Chase's fist, twisting it into a horrible position before flipping him over. Octavius had the upper hand once again as he stood over Chase, who was fighting not to make a noise. The pain must have been excruciating.

"I win."

We always win one way or another… sighed the upper right tentacle as it lowered its red eye to stare into Chase's amber ones. Finally the Prince could take the pain no longer and sank into unconsciousness. The place of flora around them reverted back to Harry's room.

"That, was too cool." muttered Harry as he detached his eyes from the T.V to Octavius and Chase. Norman remained awestruck as he first switched glances from Octavius to Chase.

"Have we got a doctor in the building? He said he broke his back and I broke his wrist." asked Octavius, using his tentacles to carefully lay Chase on a nearby couch.

"What, you don't consider yourself as a doctor?" snapped Norman. Harry shot a dirty look at his father.

"Fine, I'll do a check up…" sighed Norman. He flew into Chase, causing a few shudders from the body. He stayed in there for a couple of seconds before poking his head out of the chest.

"Well, he has indeed broken his wrist but his back remains unharmed except for a couple of bruises. He has broken four ribs and one is about to jab into his lungs. So in other words, he shouldn't survive for more than two hours." Norman replied happily. A groan from Chase made Norman pop his head back into the chest.

"Uh, make that 1 hour and 30 minutes."

"Whatever, where is Jack?" Octavius enquired, sitting down on the available armchair. Suddenly, pain shot through his right leg and he screamed in agony. The tentacles bunched around him and tried to comfort him with their voices. Harry and Norman were taken aback at the outburst.

"Are you okay?" asked Harry as soon as Octavius stopped screaming. The doctor gasped but nodded his head.

"What's happening with Jack?" he asked again. Harry went over to the remote he placed on the table and switched the channel to where Jack was fighting Curt to determine the winners and the losers of the fight.

By the way I apologize for all the pain Chase is being put through. It the upcoming chapters he will kick more butt than usual.
