The Students
The next day Kimiko was preparing for her trip, Tai watch his mother pack, still don't know what's going on.
"Daddy, why is it Mommy is packing?" Tai ask as Raimundo came in.
"Tai, your mother has a special mission left by our master and it requires her to travel to a different country," Rai tries to explain, "Also you are asked to come to the temple as well, Tai."
Tai haven't been at the temple since he was 2, Kimiko and Raimundo always had him stay home with one of them taking care of him.
So the news of him going to the temple was exciting for him.
After they packed they walked up to the temple ready.
"Mourning partners, and little partner," Clay greeted as they came inside Rai was helping with Kimiko's bags.
"So this is what the inside of the temple is like, cool," Tai walked around studying the ground.
"He must be really excited to be in here, he hasn't been here for so long," Clay said.
"Tell me about it, after Raimundo told him, he ran around the house excitedly," Kimiko replied.
...
After a while they headed for the vault.
"Tai no, not this time," Rai tried to stop his son from entering, "you'll be able to enter after your mother Omi and Clay pick up your fellow teammates."
"But I want to see it now Daddy. I've finally come in the temple and I can't see this vault," Tai complained.
"Sorry Tai, but its only fair, but you will be the first to see the Shen-Gong-Wu," Rai tries to explain.
...
They headed in and open the vault.
Inside they picked up their Shen-Gong-Wu and headed out.
"Rai, you don't mind staying here do you?" Kimiko ask after activating her Shen-Gong-Wu.
"Don't worry, besides someone has to make sure Tai doesn't go into the vault," Rai said with a smile.
Kimiko and Raimundo hugged each other for a long time before the broke free and they went their ways.
In Mexico…
A 12 year old girl just surf on a huge wave and was returning to the land where her best friend was waiting.
"Man Sam, you handle those waves as if you are the water," he said in a annoying way.
"Paul you know that it been that way for me since I was 3," Sam requested.
Paul and Sam isn't Mexican, as they both moved to Mexico.
Sam was red head tall girls who've been surfing since she learns how.
...
Omi waited at her house explaining the situation to her parents.
"Hey mom, hi dad" she walked in with her surfboard and saw their guest.
"You must be Samantha," Omi said with a smile.
"Yeah what about it," Sam said putting her surfboard up.
"Sam, this guy came here to offer you a position at a temple in China," her mother explain to her.
"Why should I go to China? Especially after I just adjusted here," Sam asked.
"Well your friends are allow to come and visit you if they wanted. Plus 3 more will join you," Omi kindly said.
"I don't know, I'll think about it" Sam said.
It wasn't till later Sam agreed.
In the Alps…
"Jeff, don't forget to take care of the animals," the mother calls out as her son.
"Don't worry! I won't," Jeff said as he walks out.
He was a 11 year old stubborn teenager, tall for his age with dark hair.
He hardly travels as he helps out around the house, doing his chores.
His family owns a small farm and he works to take care of the animals.
...
When he finished with all his chores, he came in the house to see Clay in there.
"Hello?" Jeff said to the Cowboy.
"Howdy, partner" Clay said back, "my name is Clay Bailey, and I'm here to offer you to become a monk for a temple at China."
"Rhanks but no thanks. I have to stay here and take care of the family farm," Jeff said.
"It's ok Jeff we can handle that, this might be a great experience for you son," his father said.
"But I…Uh, ok. You win." Jeff reacted seeing there's no point in arguing with his father.
Hawaii…
Kimiko was looking around the volcano looking for the research lab.
"How hard is it to find a single research lab?" She walked past a tree and saw a small house.
"I'll be back father, I'm just going to collect some samples of rocks for our research," said a girl walking out of the house.
She was the same age as Tai; tanned skin with dark brown hair, dressed for extreme heat.
Her name was Lilly.
She walked up the volcano up close to the lava as she collected rock samples.
"Hopefully we can use these to figure out the change in the heat of the volcano before it erupts," the girl said collecting the rocks.
She took the rock samples back to her dad's lab which is also her house.
...
Inside she place the rocks on the table and walked over to the living room to see Kimiko waiting for her at the couch.
"Nice to finally meet you Lilly. My name is Kimiko Pedrosa," Kimiko introduced herself.
"Lilly Mrs. Pedrosa is here to offer you a position in a temple in China," Lilly's father exclaim to her, "I think it's perfect for you, but it's your decision."
Lilly thought of the moment.
"What about your research father, I don't want to leave you in the middle of the research," Lilly said.
Kimiko smiled as Lilly sort of remind her of herself at that age.
"I'm trying to figure out volcano eruptions through the change of the heat from the rocks around the volcano," Lilly's father explained, "and Lilly has been like my assistant with the case. Instead of surfing skating etch like every other kid she collects rocks."
"I understand," Kimiko said comely.
"Lilly, I can handle it my self here, and I bet you'll be able to find volcanic rocks for the research," Lilly's father explained.
After a while the decision was made and Lilly was going.
Which made all 4 dragons available?
Xiaolin Temple…
Raimundo was trying to keep his son preoccupied, so that Tai won't try to get into the vault, when Dojo came in. "Hey Rai, Tai I just got news from the others. They manage to get the student's to join," Dojo explained. "Yay, more friends," Tai shouted across the room, as Raimundo try to ask, "How do you know?" "Omi just called from Mexico. Claw send word using the Tiger Claws. Kimiko send an email, and all of them said the parents are ok, and they'll be here tomorrow, which will give them time to pack up," Dojo explained as Tai broke free from his father's grip. "Yay mommy is coming home, and I'm going to have new friends," Tai screamed as loud running around the temple.
