06: Shadows of the Past

Back at the Temple…

Dojo landed in the temple courtyard and they all jumped off. Kimiko put her arm around Ryan and supported his arm.

"I'm fine Kimiko" said Ryan "It's not broken, it's just badly bruised"

"Oh no you don't" said Kimiko as she tried to pull him towards the dormitory, "You need to rest your arm"

"But I…" said Ryan. Kimiko gave him a stern look.

"No buts" said Kimiko "No boyfriend of mine is going to walk around with a damaged arm, now go"

Ryan sighed as she pointed off to the dormitory; he walked into the dormitory and looked back at her.

"I'll get the First Aid kit" called Kimiko "I'll join you in a moment"

Ryan sighed again as he went into his room, Kimiko really cared for him, the way she treats him; she is such a great girl. Ryan smiled as he lent back on his bed, his arm twinge as he lent on it.

"Maybe she could look at it…" sighed Ryan as he raised his arm, "I enjoy the attention she gives me anyway…"

"Master Fung! Colza!" called Dojo as he, Raimundo, Omi and Clay came into the meditation hall where Master Fung was meditating, "We're back!"

Master Fung looked up at them; Colza was fast asleep in Dojo's usual spot.

"Hello young monks" said Master Fung "How did it go?"

"I'm afraid that Ryan had lost the Chaos Helmet to Chase Young" said Omi in an upbeat voice that made Master Fung raise his eyebrow, "I'm afraid he will lose the promotion…"

"Don't be too sure Omi" said Master Fung "Did you find the Wu?"

"Err…No" said Omi.

"Did you compete in the showdown to try and win it?" said Master Fung. Omi said nothing as he lowered his head.

"Don't be too quick to judge young monk" said Master Fung "Or it could be you who will lose the promotion"

"Once again, you are right Master Fung" said Omi as he lowered his head with shame, "I must learn not to judge people too quickly…especially Raimundo"

Raimundo growled as he looked down at him.

"Anyway, I have some news for you" said Master Fung "I have invited an old friend back to the temple for a visit, he can help you out…"

"Old friend?" said Clay "Who is it?"

"Why don't you see for yourself…" said Master Fung. They looked up as someone entered the room, a boy with a blue basket ball shirt and red trousers.

"Yo! What's up dogs?" said the boy as he walked towards them. Omi's face lit up as he recognised who it was.

"Jermaine!" said Omi "You're back!"

"Omi! Good to see you!" said Jermaine as he and Omi hi-fived, "You too, Raimundo and Clay, how you been?"

"Uhh…The usual" said Raimundo "Butt kicking and the like"

"That's cool" said Jermaine "Err…Where's Kimiko?"

"She's in the dormitory tending to her boyfriend" said Clay.

"No kidding" said Jermaine "Who's the lucky kid who managed to score with her?"

"You won't of heard of him partner" said Clay "Come on, we can go see him"

They all walked to the dormitory, where they could hear Kimiko trying to wrap Ryan's arm in bandages and Ryan complaining about it.

"Oww…" groaned Ryan "Its fine Kimiko, you can stop touching it now"

"Don't be such a baby" sighed Kimiko "There! Done!"

She opened his curtain and the two of them walked out into the corridor.

"See?" said Kimiko as she put her arms around him, "All better!"

"Thank you Dr. Tohomiko…" sighed Ryan sarcastically as he put his arms around her, resting his forehead on hers. She giggled as she felt his hands on her hips, massaging them gently.

"You know…" said Ryan as he moved his head near her ear and whispered gently, "We still haven't done that thing we said we we're going to do yet…"

Kimiko smiled as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Well…" said Kimiko "We have got a few minutes…Maybe a quick one?"

"Good enough for me" said Ryan. Kimiko giggled again as she felt his hands tickle her slightly before hugging her tightly and kissing her with deep passion, her tongue tried to get into his mouth again.

"Oh, will you two get a room?" sighed Raimundo. Ryan and Kimiko jumped as they looked up at them.

"Oh…Hey guys…" mumbled Kimiko as her face went red, "Me and Ryan were just…Jermaine?"

"Hey girl" said Jermaine "I see you're having fun here"

"Oh! Jermaine! Great to see you!" said Kimiko as they both walked towards him, "I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Ryan"

"Nice to meet you" said Ryan. Jermaine gave Ryan a strange look before he shook his hand.

"Good to meet you too…" said Jermaine "Err…Haven't we meet before?"

"Err…No" said Ryan "I don't think so…"

"Hmm…" thought Jermaine "Where have I seen you before?"

Flashback…

"Big headed chrome dome, it's his fault he lost the Manchurian Musca…" grumbled Jermaine as he walked through the corridors of Chase's lair, "I'll show him whose better when I take the Golden Finger from right out from under his nose!"

He sighed as he took out his prized basket ball; he carefully rolled it up his arm and spun it in his finger.

"Oh yeah…" said Jermaine "I've still got skillz!"

He tried to throw the ball in the air and catch it on his other finger, but he missed and the ball rolled off towards a door that was open slightly. He picked up the ball; a green light was glowing from the room.

"Huh?" said Jermaine as he peeked into the room, "What's this?"

He pushed to door open and walked in, the room was pitch black, except for four stasis tanks that were filled with a glowing green fluid.

"Whoa…" gasped Jermaine as he walked up to one of the tanks, "This is some seriously crazy stuff…"

He peered into the tank, floating in the green fluid was a boy, shards of metal were sticking out of his skin, some were blunt and some were razor sharp, he had dark brown fluffy hair was wearing a dark black cloak. Jermaine looked at a small control panel to the side of the tank.

"Hmm…" thought Jermaine as he read the panel, "Apocalypse Clone Type J-1, element infusion complete – Element: Metal – Bone structure composed of 100 Iron - Codename: Joe"

Jermaine moved over to the next tank, this one had a young girl in it. She had long dark hair and a blue streak like scar across her face; she was also wearing a black cloak. The glass was covered in a thick layer of frost. He put his hand on the glass; it was so icy cold that he felt like his blood was freezing in his hand. He then looked at the control panel.

"Apocalypse Clone Type K-2, element infusion complete – Element: Ice – Blood stream super cooled to negative 50 degrees Celsius - Codename: Kiera"

He moved on to the next tank, this one also had a girl in it. He ran a hand over the glass, as soon as he touched it, pain filled his head. He cried out as he fell back, clutching his head.

"What the hell?" groaned Jermaine as he rubbed his head, "That was weird…"

He looked up at the girl, she had long brown hair like Kiera, but she had a strip of white hair that hung in front of her face and a black cloak.

"Hey, who's this good looking girl?" said Jermaine as he raised an eyebrow at her; he looked at the control panel on the tank.

"Apocalypse Clone Type K-3, element infusion complete – Element: Psyche – Brain altered to produces Zelta brain waves - Codename: Kathryn"

"Kathryn huh?" said Jermaine "I'll keep an eye out for her…"

He turned towards the last tank, this one had a boy in it, he was not as old as Joe, but he still had fluffy brown hair and the black cloak just like everyone else. He looked at his control panel.

"Apocalypse Clone Type R-4, element infusion complete – Element: Lighting – High number of positive electrons in left arm and high number of negative electrons in left arm - Codename: Ryan"

"Whoa…" gasped Jamaine as he looked around the room, "This is just plain crazy"

He gasped as he heard the sound of footsteps, so he quickly grabbed his basket ball and ran from the room.

End of Flashback…

"Err…Jermaine?" said Ryan "You okay?"

"Huh?" said Jermaine "What happened?"

"You sort of got lost in dream world" said Kimiko. There was a beeping noise as Clay checked his watch.

"Oh! Lunch time!" said Clay as he walked off, "Let's go partners!"

Everyone walked off, leaving Omi and Jermaine alone.

"Are you okay, old friend?" said Omi.

"I don't know" said Jermaine as he thought for a moment, "Something seems a little off…"

Omi looked at him for a moment, and then Jermaine shrugged his shoulders at him.

"Oh well" sighed Omi "Let's go to lunch!"

Jermaine sighed as he went after Omi towards the kitchen.

"I know I have seen him somewhere before…" said Jermaine to himself, "But I can't seem to remember exactly where…"

UXD: So…Who were the mysterious counterparts? How are they connected to Ryan? Will Jermaine remember what he saw? R&R! Ryan's past goes way back into season three of Xiaolin Showdown, is there more to who Ryan is? Find out next time on… "THE GREATEST STORY EVER WRITTEN!"…I mean… "Apocalypses Clone"

Chole: (Re-enters room) Ahh…I love Ryan soooooooo much…

UXD: What did you do to him?

Chole: I kissed him non-stop, but then I ran out of lipstick…C.C used all mine up on Jiggy…

UXD: Okay…Err…Bye?
