(Recorded Message) Hey everyone! Thanks for R&R! Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I ran my Laptops battery into the ground (Not literally) and I had to wait for it the charge back up again. So if you'd like to leave your name and a good review at the end of this chapter, I'll get back to you soon, bye!

BEEP!

12: The Fifth Wudai Weapon

Training continued with not much success. Raimundo couldn't quite get himself to become completely wind-like. Clay sort of got the hang of it, but his body became covered in a large dust cloud. Omi was close, but he got mixed up with Clay's dust cloud and became rather muddy. Kimiko thought she'd start by lowering her foot into the oil, but she accidentally ignited herself, sending her favourite temple shoes ablaze. Ryan was no better; he banged his head multiple times trying to jump into the pole.

"Okay young monks" said Master Fung "I think this is enough training for one day, you may rest now"

"That wasn't too bad, right?" said Ryan as he rubbed his head, "I didn't lose that many brain cells…"

"Wudai Neptune Ice" said Omi as he summoned a large chunk of ice to land on Ryan's head. Ryan nodded in thanks at Omi as he sat down.

"I think we did well" said Clay as he tried to brush all the dust off his body, "But the sooner we can control our powers the better"

They all looked up as they saw Kimiko storm past them, she was fuming.

"Hey Kimiko" said Raimundo "You okay?"

"No!" yelled Kimiko, making them all jump, "My best shoes are ruined! Look at them!"

They all looked down at her feet; two smouldering pieces of fabric were wrapped around them. She grumbled as she walked off to the dormitory to get a fresh pair. Jermaine came walking past her and approached the others.

"Hey guys" said Jermaine "What's up with Kimiko?"

"Shoes…" sighed Omi "Girl thing"

"So?" said Jermaine "Who's getting the promotion?"

They all shrugged their shoulders as they looked at each other.

"Master Fung is hard to please" said Ryan "We can please him as a group but not as individuals…"

"You need to do something big to get his attention" said Omi "Something like a…a…"

They all though for a moment, when Ryan came up with an idea.

"A Wudai quest!" said Ryan as he punched his hand, "That's perfect! And I know exactly what I can quest for…"

Later…

"Very well Ryan" said Master Fung "A Wudai quest will help with my decision for the Singala promotion"

"Yes!" said Ryan as he punched the air with delight.

"So what you going to do, partner?" said Clay. Ryan was about to burst out loudly when he suddenly stopped.

"I have no idea…" said Ryan.

"Ahem!" coughed Dojo as he and Colza slivered out of the temple, holding a large brown map, "This may help"

"Hey, it's the Treasure map of the blind swordsman!" said Omi "Ryan! You can use it to find your Wudai Weapon!"

"A quest for my Wudai Weapon…" said Ryan "Neat!"

"Then it's settled" said Master Fung "Ryan, you will use the Treasure map of the blind swordsman to find you Wudai Weapon hidden in Texas"

"Are all Wudai Weapons hidden in Texas?" said Jermaine. Dojo nodded.

"We don't have time for small talk" said Colza "We need to decide on how he is getting there and what Wu he is taking"

"Very well" said Master Fung "To make this quest more challenging, you are only allowed to use the Sword of the Tempest, the Golden Finger and the Crouching Cougar for transport"

"No worries" said Ryan as he followed him into the Wu vault, "Piece of cake"

"But how's he getting there?" said Dojo "I can't go because I am needed just in case new Wu become active"

"Oh! Oh!" said Colza as she waved her arms in the air, "Pick me! I'll do it!"

"Very well" said Master Fung "Colza and Ryan will go to Texas to find Ryan's Wudai Weapon"

"You better get ready" said Colza as she climbed onto Ryan's shoulder, "Flight Colza will be departing to Texas in a few minutes!"

And with that, Ryan spun on his heals and shot off towards the dormitory to get ready.

"Ryan?" called Kimiko as she saw Ryan walk into his room, "Is that you?"

"Yep!" called Ryan "Guess what? I'm going on a quest!"

"Are you?" said Kimiko as she poked her head into his room, "Where're you going?"

"Texas" said Colza as she and Dojo walked into the dormitory, "Come on Ryan! We've got to go soon"

"Your going after your Wudai weapon, huh?" said Kimiko, Ryan nodded as he grabbed his sword holster, put his trusty Sword of the Tempest in it and strapped it to his body. Kimiko grinned as Ryan turned around.

"What?" said Ryan, noticing her grin.

"I have something for you…" said Kimiko in a singsong voice. She smiled as him as she beckoned him to follow her with her finger. Ryan smiled as she did the butt wiggle to hypnotise him like she always does. Dojo jumped onto the table so he was next to Ryan.

"Looks like you're going to get some "action" before you go, huh?" said Dojo as he elbowed Ryan gently and raised his eyebrows. Ryan grinned as he went after Kimiko. Dojo sighed as he watched Ryan disappeared into Kimiko's room.

"I wish I had a great girlfriend like Kimiko…" sighed Dojo.

"Ahem!" coughed Colza as she glared at him.

"Uh…You didn't let me finished" mumbled Dojo "I wish I had a great girlfriend like Kimiko, luckily I have a girl who is even better!"

Colza rolled her eyes as she jumped up onto the table next to him. She shook her head as she tickled the underside of his chin with her finger.

"Nice comeback" said Colza as she smiled at him.

Later…

Kimiko walked out onto the training grounds where Colza was super sized and ready to go.

"Is he ready?" said Colza as looked at her, she was smiling with a content look on her face.

"Oh, he's ready alright…" said Kimiko as she smiled cheekily and played with her hair. Colza giggled as Kimiko looked over towards the dormitory.

"You two got busy, huh?" giggled Colza.

"Yeah…" said Kimiko "You could say that…"

Ryan stepped out of the dormitory, Colza's eyes widened as she saw him.

"Is that his cowboy gear?" gasped Colza. Ryan looked up at the two girls from the dormitory doorway, instead of giving Ryan some "Action"; she was really dressing him in his western gear.

"Why do we have to wear this?" said Ryan "The trousers are kind of itchy…"

"Nonsense" said Kimiko "You look great! I thought I'd go for the "Lone Desperado" look, think John Wayne"

Ryan sighed as he put on the smaller version of Clay's hat; he had the standard cowboy trousers and shirt, large brown boots and a dark brown poncho around his neck.

"I look like an idiot…" mumbled Ryan. Kimiko smiled as she put her arms around her and looked over at Colza, she knew what Kimiko was thinking by the look in her eyes.

"You got five minuets" said Colza as she moved away to give Ryan and Kimiko some privacy.

"Ryan?" asked Kimiko as she smiled up at him, "Do you know what day it is tomorrow?"

"Oh crap!" thought Ryan "What have I forgot now? Her birthday? Our going out anniversary? Valentines Day? Damn it! She's going to kill me!"

"Of course of I do!" said Ryan as he put his arms around her and played with her hair, "But…do you…know?"

Kimiko giggled as she knew that Ryan didn't know what she was talking about.

"Tomorrow…" said Kimiko as she ran her hands over his poncho, "Is the second month anniversary of us going out!"

"What?" said Ryan as he raised his eyebrows at her, "Two months? Doesn't that seem like a little early to celebrate something like that?"

"What do you mean?" said Kimiko "We've been through so much together, we've survived assassination, being eaten by dragons, attacked by evil genius, our love has survived so much, its worth celebrating every second!"

"Yeah…" sighed Ryan "We've been through a lot together, but…"

"What about that night in Tokyo?" said Kimiko as she rested her head on his chest, "You know…That unforgettable night where we…"Played" with each other?"

Ryan smiled as she rested her head on hers.

"Of course I do" said Ryan "I think about it all the time"

Kimiko raised an eyebrow at him.

"You know what I mean…" sighed Ryan as he kissed her forehead, "The intimate, passionate and loving part not the…other, more physical part…"

"Moving on" said Kimiko "You'll be away for at least a day, so I was thinking that if you get back tomorrow, I was thinking we could do something together…"

"You mean like a date?" said Ryan. Kimiko smiled as she nodded, Ryan thought for a moment.

"Yeah…" said Ryan as he nodded, "I'd like that, we could go out to dinner and afterwards…well, afterwards, it will be just me and you for some fun, if you know what I mean…"

"That sounds wonderful…" said Kimiko as smiled up at him; they both stayed in each others arms for a while, watching the wind blow through the trees.

"Five minuets!" called Colza. Kimiko put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Her hands moved up his poncho as she massaged his chest, she sighed contently as she felt his hands move down her back and gripped her thighs tightly but lovingly.

"Bye" said Ryan as he kissed her softly on the cheek and climbed onto Colza's back.

"Good luck!" called Kimiko as she waved after him as he and Colza flew off into the distance towards Texas. Kimiko grinned as she ran a hand over where Ryan had gripped her thighs. Even though he was leaving, she didn't feel sad at all, because she knew that he will return for her. Then he was going to take her for a romantic dinner and then they were going to do who knows what else afterward.

Meanwhile…

"Master…" said Logan as he watched Ryan and Colza fly off from the cliff top, "The Cuckoo has flown the nest"

"What?" said a dark voice on his phone.

"Ryan has left the temple" sighed Logan as he rolled his eyes.

"Excellent" said the voice "With Ryan out of the way, our secret weapon can easily get the Elemental Wu from the monks"

"Yes Master" said Ryan "What about you?"

"Me?" said the voice "I'm going to Texas to meet a friend of mine…Good luck Logan; you know what to do…"

Logan grinned as he hung up the phone and looked down at the temple. He chucked evilly as he put his hands behind his dragon skull mask and removed it.

"Guess who's coming to visit…" laughed Logan.

UXD: Aww…Ryan's going to take Kimiko on a date when he gets his new Wudai Weapon, but what about Logan? R&R!

Kaida: Stinky head!

Jiggy: He's taken off his mask! Has he ever done that? Do we know what he looks like?
