At the Spicer Mansion:
Violet went out to the very large kitchen, which Jack was rarely in because he got a robot butler to cook for him, at 1 am to get a.. past midnight snack. Jack decided to fallow her with the Shroud of Shadows, for no apparent reason, but had the excuse if she DID find out that he was just having some fun because he wanted her to find out what the shroud of shadows did, the hard way. He was planning on scaring the shit out of her, but wasn't quite sure when.
He looked at the tall, almost emo looking, teen as she was tippy-toeing on the hardwood floor. She opened the large fridge door and squinted in the light that beamed out and covered her eyes for a second. He took this as an advantage to slowly get closer to her and in position to scare. He looked at her long, gorgeous legs in the booty shorts she was wearing in a tight white tank top, completely see-threw, so he could see her bra. (A/N: Kinky… HAHA.) He, not being even the SLIGHTEST bit experienced with the girl thing, almost blushed when he saw it. He smacked himself, You're not gaa gaa over just her BRA are you??? What kind of in-experienced bastard are- Violet randomly started singing softly, "The smell of your skin, lingers on me now…" He stopped and listened to her voice ringing in the room and his head over and over again. Her voice was so nice when she sang, and he felt like saying aloud, "That was amazing." But, didn't. She didn't look like she took any notice of it and pulled out some pop, pouring a large glass. What a great midnight snack.. Jack thought sarcastically, snapping out of the trans. He looked at her glowing with radiance in the moonlight from the window in front of the sink. Her hair was curly just at the ends, and her eyeliner was all down her face, but she didn't seem to care. It wasn't like she KNEW he was watching her.
He almost began feeling bad, but then… being Jack, decided to enjoy. Since when does the chance of a beautiful girl coming to stay at your house, go on your side , for a while, and out in the open to scare the shit out of?? NEVER. It was probably his only and last chance. He rubbed his hands together and grinned evily. (As if it was THAT great.) She almost felt the presence of someone and she just looked to her left and right slowly, and began singing again, "I need some shelter of my own protection baby… need to be with myself in center…clarity, peace… serenity." He closed his eyes for a moment and smiled, then stopped shivered and got large goose bumps and rubbed them as her voice rang around him once again. He gained the courage to slowly and softly rubbed his hands on her sides of her stomach from behind her, and she widened her eyes.
She twirled around as she punched and high kicked, dropping the glass that was in her hand on to the ground, then standing with her fists still up, ready to attack, but no one was there. Jack ducked as she did this and covered his mouth with a wide grin across his face and almost laughing. Don't blow it! He said to himself, as he slowly got up from squatting. She looked at the mess on the ground from the glass that had been instantly shattered. She shivered as she got the impression she was going insane, "You can relax, don't take everything so spy-ish." She said as she stepped around the glass to get another cup. He almost bursted out laughing again at her stupid remark. She shrugged the 'insane' feeling off, she was just over reacting right? …Wrong. She brought her hand slowly up near her four head and ran her fingers threw her hair from the front to the back as it fell back in its' proper place. He looked at her gleaming hair that beamed in the moonlit room. She once again stood on her tippy-toes to get, yet another, glass.
"Maybe I should just have water…" she said to herself, sticking out her tongue, trying to reach the glass. Jack smiled at herself talking aloud. Good thing my parents are on a LOOOONG business trip, and won't be back for probably a couple years… Jack told himself. He gained up the courage to get a grip around her waist. Her heart skipped what seemed to be 3 beats when she finally decided to go back to her flat feet and twirl super fast but only to see Jack. "JACK!" She said loudly, "You scared the SHIT outta me!!" She put a hand to her heavy-breathing chest. Wish that hand was MINE… that voice hissed again, but Jack quickly snapped out of it. He kept one hand still on her waist as he showed her the Shroud of Shadows with the other, "And that's what this bad boy does…"
She raised both brows, looking at it, "That's… That's frickin amazing!" She said breathlessly. "I know." He agreed. He felt like saying, "YOU SING LIKE A BIRD!!" but.. that wasn't the first on his 'to do' list. Silence rung in the room as the moonlight hit his pale face and her make-up smudged, porcelain face. She studied his deep ruby eyes as he did with her deep purple eyes.
She closed her eyes as she gently brushed her lips against his, putting her arms around his neck. Then, they kissed long, and hard. Jack's head was spinning, he's never thought about girls before she came along… well, of course he THOUGHT about them… but never thought it'd happen. Not in a million years! While the passionate moment was going on, it seemed like it was lasting forever. The moment had changed their outlooks on one another and time meant nothing.
When they finally separated, she removed her hands and looked to the ground with a smile on her face a let out a gentle laugh. She grabbed his hands that were on her waist and slowly took them of, but held them in hers. She looked at his eyes that were gleaming gazefully back at her, and hers back. But, something ended up distracted her on his head. A smile beamed from her face as the words of the reason came out her mouth, "Those goggles look silly." He scoffed a playful scoff and smiled back, "Just ADMIT it already, you find them sexy." He smirked his evil, yet flirtatious, kinda smirk. She scoffed back at his ego showing and laughed a laugh that he had never heard before… it sounded kinda promicuious and gave him shivers all over his body as she brought her face closer to his, so there lips were centemetres apart again, "Dead sexy." She whispered. There lips almost locked again until a shrieking figure entered in, "I'm sensing another shen-gong-WOOOAH! Uhh" Her nasty voice cracked with wide eyes, "Am I interrupting something??"
Violet's bangs were completely over her left eye as she starred at the figure, "WOAH!" She shouted, "What's up with the floating octopus, Jack!?!?" She said, sounding horrified. "WUYA!" Jack screamed, "HAVE YOU EVER HEARED OF KNOCKING???" Wuya scoffed and lifted up her ghostly hands, "Of course I have you imbecile!!! I can't, FOOL!" Jack's stiff face turned into a face of pure confusion, "Oh… yeah… well… TRY HARDER NEXT TIME!! MAKE A… MAKE A DING-DONG NOISE OR SOMETHING! JESUS!" "WHAT THE FUCK IS IT?" Violet screamed once more. Jack sighed, looking back at the teen who was horrified and confused, "It's a ghost…" "IT?" Wuya hissed, "I, being a she, AM A HEYLIN WITCH. AND WE NEED TO GET INTO A JUNGLE TO GET THE SHEN-GONG-WU!!!"
"Ooooh." Violet said, nodding along as if she understood, "So… you're Jack's Wu-detector, right?" She said, getting cocky, raising an eyebrow to her.
"Yes" "NO!" Jack and Wuya said at the same time (Jack being the one who said yes."
"Oh. My. God…. so that thing ISNT a hologram?" Violet asked walking towards the bathroom.
"No, it's not. It's a witch-ghost-old-hag-bitch." Jack said.
"WHY DOES EVERY ONE KEEP REFERRING TO ME AS AN ITEM!! IT AND ITS AND THING!... YOU ARE LUCKY YOUR DOING US SOME JUSTICE YOUNG LADY!.. OR I'D BE CASTING A…"
"Yeah, yeah…" Jack said, interrupting her.
"I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU!!" Wuya boomed."ARRGG!" Wuya fumed, "LET'S JUST GET TO THE BUSINESS."
Right on cue, walked in Violet into the kitchen were the two were. They starred at her with jaw-dropped faces as they looked at her. "Jungle terrain? Said violet, bending down to apply her gadgets to her mini belt on her leg calf and without bending her knees, "So typical… but… I'll do anything for an adventure." They looked at her wearing camo capris with a green tee shirt on and short fingerless gloves. Hers were a bit different from his though, hers had grips on the palms… probably because of all her… gripping?... Oh! And her other acrobatic moves, "Sorry," Violet said, getting up, "Had to get changed." She put her hair in a pony tail at the crown of her head. Jack smiled at her, who didn't seem to notice. Jack snapped out of his trans and cleared his throat, "So.. what's the wu." He said, trying to keep his cool around her. "It's the boomerang of Tanaratchi." She said, finally looking away from Violet, "It can be used to fight!"
"No shit…" Jack said, "Shotty the shroud of shadows." He said. He turned to Violet, "What one do you want?" She looked up from tying her boots, "Oh, who?... ME?" Jack nodded his head slowly, "Yes… you." She laughed, "I don't do magically-accienty-artifacty things… sorry." She said, bending back down to continue to tie her boots, "And besides, I don't even know how to USE them!!" She laughed. "HURRY UP!" Wuya screeched. "GOD!" Violet yelled then she said "shut up.." quietly to herself. "Awwh, c'mon!!" Jack said, stepping closer to her, "They're REALLY easy!!" Wuya laughed from afar, "THAT MEANS A LOT COMING FROM JACK SPICER!! BAHHA!" Jack glared at the witch threw the wall. "No, really Jack." Violet said, standing up and going closer to him, "I'm fine." "Are you pos-" "STOP WASTING TIME!!! WE NEED TO GO!" "STOP EFFING YELLING!" Violet yelled back.
"So," Violet said, tightening her Velcro gloves, "Where's the transportation??" Jack's helipad activated as he opened his arms, "Right here!" She lifted and eyebrow and opened her mouth slightly, and began to fake laugh. "HA! HA HA HA!" She pointed a finger at him and squinted her eyes a bit, "That's funny Jack Spicer!!" She said. He looked at her, "I'm serious. The monks are probably there by now and taking a vehicle makes too much noise." "And a huge helicopter thing DOESN'T?" Violet protested, "What do you expect me to do?... Go BRIDAL style??"
He looked to the ceiling and thought for a moment, "Well…. N-….yeeeah." Violet began to do quad stretches, "I'll run."
"RUN!?!?!" Jack screeched. "HOW ARE YOU GOING TO RUN? You're not going to be able to keep up with me! You'll have to sprint!!"
"Fine then." She closed her eyes and stuck up her nose, "I'll sprint, then."
Jack's jaw dropped. "SPRINT? How are you going to SPRINT 3 miles!?!??"
Violet narrowed her eyes as she tossed something his direction, applying something to her ear, "Watch me." She began was about to start when Jack said, "Wait!" he pointed at the small object that had been thrown at him, "What's this??"
"Oh, I almost forgot.." She began, "It's an SMS earpiece along with the brand new Susanne SM24 version 4.8 microphone."
His face was blank but nodded along as if he understood, "Oh. I see it now.. why would we need th-"
"It's also a tracking device if one of us gets lost." She answered.
"Oh,…" Jack said, looking at the device in his hand "Violet.. there's something I kinda wanna tell you.." There was long pause. "SHE'S ALREADY GONE YOU FOOL!" Wuya shrieked from behind as Jack jumped and screamed, "JESUS! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?"
"GET A MOVE ON!" She demanded, he didn't feel like arguing, they'd already wasted enough time, "I'll put my helipack on medium… so she can at least keep up with a sweat." He said to himself, as he lifted himself into the air. "I heard that…" Violet's voice said over the earpiece in Jack's ear. Jack had totally forgot, "I WAS JUST JOKING!.." He lied. "Oh, I'll show you…" Violet said.
He saw Violet below running threw the forest once and a while threw the tops of the trees. He watched her dodge vines in the ground and used her grapple rope to latch onto branches to get over large quick-sand pits. He was impressed. She was VERY acrobatic.. but, I mean, that's what you should expect with a super top-secret agent, right? "Everything all right down there?" Jack asked, just to get a conversation going. He knew the answer already. "Mhmm." She said back, moaning a bit, as if she was dodging or something, "How's the flying treating ya?" "Not bad.." He replyed as he tried to look for her again.
Soon, Violet found a large, very old temple, "Uh, Jack?" She whispered, panting, and looking at the crumbling temple with ancient markings and vines all over it. She was deep in the jungle, wouldn't be the first time. "Yea?" He replyed.
"I found this temple place that witch thing described, it looks pretty much it… and…" she cleared her throat, as she crouched behind a large boulder, "Those monks are here…"
"WHAT!??!" Jack shrieked, "You're ALREADY THERE? And so are the MONKS? O-okay… I'll be there in a few minutes…" Jack set his helipack to max, he remembered what he said about the whole 'ill put it on medium' thing and felt defeat rise over hiself… wouldn't be the first time though. "Oh!!" Violet silently laughed sarcastically, "Was I too fast for you, Mr.Hotshot??" Jack didn't reply and frantically flew as his eyes searched the jungle for the temple.
A few minutes later Violet let out a sigh from the side of her boulder she was waiting for Jack at. She turned to see the monks looking around the temple to find the secret door button, but were unsuccessful so far. She continued staring at the monks direction while, out of no where from behind, "Hey Violet!! I'm FINALLY here!" Jack screamed at the top of his lungs while Violet was still spying on the monks just 40 feet away. Violet turned to him, while still squatting behind the boulder and attempted to silence him with a big hush and the classic finger up to her mouth, but it was too late, the monks had already spot them. The monks got into their fighting positions as Omi shouted, "JACK SPICER!!!" Violet shot up from behind the boulder and glared at Jack, "YES!!" She said insanely, "SHOCKER, ISNT IT?" She tilted her head to Omi.
Omi had a blank expression on his face as he got out of fighting position and tapped his chin, "No, I believe it would not be." Violet turned to Jack and said, "Jack… sweety," She said, with a fake smile on her face. She cleared her throat and said in a stern and louder tone, "Havn't you ever heard of the element of surprise?"
Omi, hearing this, turned to Rai, "There's no surprise element. Only water, fire, wind…" Rai shook his head, "It's an expression, buddy." "Oh.."Omi said as nodded his head slowly and turned back to Jack and Violet.
Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath of air, holding one finger up ready to protest but Kimiko butted in, "No, in case your wondering, he's never used it once on us. He's a horrible evil 'genius' and looks like you've never heard of surprise either." Kimiko smiled.
Violet laughed an evil laugh as she stepped closer to Kimiko and got up to her face, "Oh, trust me, I HAVE… It's kinda hard when your partner blurts your name out for the world to hear."
Kim had forgot about that part… but didn't show it on the outside.
"PFFFT!" Jack said, as he walked closer to every one else, "I'm an evil boy genius, trust me.. I know what I'm doing."
"Hmm" Violet said, looking back at Kimiko starring at her bright pink outfit up and down, "and I thought JACK was tacky…" She kept eye contact as she walked threw the monks and gestured Jack to fallow, and Violet, still keeping eye contact with Kimiko, pushed a piece of the temple and reveled a door. Kimiko felt like jumping her… again, but Rai said, "Think nothing of it…" and she decided to 'bottle' up her emotions again until the greatest opportunity, which she had got better at doing over the years. The monks ran for the door that was about to be closed, but made it.
"Hey!!" Jack whispered to her as they were running threw the dark and muggy halls of the temple searching for the wu, "We discussed the goggles." Violet smiled and lifted her flirtatious eyebrow at him, "Oh, yeah, we did, didn't we?" They both smiled and, he passed a glance at her running beside him with her hair flying in the wind. The monks had turned a different way, but were in just as much of a rush.
"Where's Wuya?" Violet asked.
"Right here…" Wuya said appearing out of nowhere… literally.
"HOLY SHIT!" Violet said loudly, "STOP THAT!"
"Oh, stop your wining.. and by the way, there's a lot of booby traps in here.. so watch out."
"Okay." Jack said.
"NOT YOU!" Wuya hissed, "I don't care about you!!"
"Well, thanks Wuya, I love you too." Jack said.
Violet thought nothing of it, "Pfft, as if I don't know that already.
Wuya growled, "…don't get mouthy with me, missy, or I'll…"
"STOP!" Violet said as every one came to a screeching stop.
"WHAT IS IT?... THE WU?" Wuya said excitingly.
"No… I'm not getting a good vibe from this place…" Violet said looking around.
"I don't know what your talking about.." Jack said as he continued but the ground under them began to separate fast. Jack activated his helipack and was hovering over the blades underneath them as he was going to reach for Violet but she kept running to the end. Jack felt his stomach turn as she slipped out of his grasp and his heart began to pound more than it ever did in his whole like. Adrenilen took over his body as she wasn't going to make it for she was already not being supported underneath. Life was going slow motion for him as she let out a moan of strength and used her grapple rope that was attached to her belt to grapple onto a pillar on the ceiling to swing herself to the safe panel, but once she jumped she slipped on the edge and caught herself with one hand while looking down and starring at the blades and the skeletons below her. She breathed deep as she started pulling herself up and poked her nose over the edge, only to see the wu about 5 feet away from her. She smiled as she pulled herself up into a handstand over the edge and did a summersault to the wu. Jack landed next to her and Violet and Jack starred at eachother while grabbing the wu at once, but obviously, nothing happened because they were on the same side. Jack was going to say 'That was amazing!" But all that came out was, "That was-" Until he noticed Violet's face and saw that she was starring at two other figures in front of them. It was Rai and Kimiko. "Xiaolin Showdown!" Violet said, sighing. "-amaze." Jack continued blanklessly, but didn't remember that it was up to him to choose the game. "A MAZE?" Kim and Violet shrieked, "What a STUPID choice!" Kim said. "Awwh, c'mon.. is it legal to change it?? I don't wanna do a maze again." Violet complained.
"But I-" Jack began to protest, helplessly.
"Too late!" Rai said, glaring at Jack, "It's already been decided.
"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" They all said aloud.
The boomerang floated up and shot out of there sight in the temple somewhere as more walls where added to it as the whole place rumbled. "Our shroud of shadows…" Jack yelled over the very loud rumbling, "and Serpant's Tail against your..??"
"Tangled webcomb!" Kimiko yelled back, "And Mantis Flip Coin!!" Rai finished. "GONG-YI-TEM-PI!!" They all shouted as the loud rumbling stopped as the four where at the start line and the showdown began. The temple raised to the sky and didn't have a ceiling so Clay, Dojo, Omi, and Wuya could get a good view from above as well. Kim, Rai, and Violet sprinted right off as Jack activated his helipack to get a birds eye view. But, with Jack's luck, a force shield was on at ceiling height. Jack got zapped as he plummeted (being like, 15 feet plummeted) to the ground. Violet came to a screeching stop (again) as the two monks zoomed past her and turned left, "No flying!!" Rai reminded. Violet ran back to Jack, "Holy shit!" She laughed, "Are you okay, Jackie?" His head was spinning as he heard his mothers voice say that last line in a hissing tone. He turned to her and saw his mothers face glaring at him, "Are you okay, Jackie? Are you okay, Jackie?" Then her voice kicked in and he saw her face looking at him. "JACK!!" She smacked him…He rubbed his cheek as he began seeing straight again, "That was fucking weird." He said, with no emotion. Violet starred at him concerned. She hadn't seen that look on him before. "You okay, Jack?" He got up and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah…" He winced, "Ummh, Violet. Just by chance, did you just call me 'Jacky' ??" She laughed, "No! That sounds fruity.. hahaha… why?" She cocked a brow, "Did you want me too?.. I know you like fruity…" She laughed, but he only ed blankly into her face and looked to the ground. She gave that concerned face again, "You sure you're okay?" He nodded, "I'm positive." "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Wuya screeched from above, "GET A MOVE ON YOU FOOLS!!!"
Jack growled and shook a fist to Wuya's direction, as if she actually saw and said to himself, "One of these days, I'm gonna show her who's boss!!.." Violet pulled Jack as they both began to run in search for the wu. Just at the end of the stretch, they were about to turn right, the opposite way of Kim and Rai, but out from the right came Rai and Kim as they spotted Violet and Jack and saw the starting line behind them, "SHIT!" Jack said, "We're at the beginning again!!" Violet looked around, completely lost what to do. "SERPANT'S TAIL!!!" She shouted, grabbing Jack as the wu was lighting up. "Do you even know what that thing DOES?" Jack yelled. "No!!" Violet said loudly back, smiling.
