29: The Ark Angel

They all stared up into the sky as the portal slowly moved across the sky, slowly revealing the Shadow Ecliptis. The gigantic metal structure was covered in a grey mist that came from the portal, blurring it. As the portal began to close, the mist lifted, revealing the entire space station as it loomed over the planet.

"Whoa…" gasped Ryan "This is just crazy! He actually did it! He actually built it!"

The others were too gob smacked to comment, they all just stood there staring up at it. It was a huge semi-sphere, its flat side faced down on Earth. Looking down on the flat side of the space station was a huge metallic face of Jack Spicer.

"Eww…" said Kimiko "Now we have to see his ugly face every time we look up?"

His giant metal "face" had two large satellites as his eyes, a set of metal spikes stuck out of the top of the "face" as his hair. His trademark goggles were above his eyes and each lens looked like the size of a small town. There was an evil looking grin on the "face" and a huge metal tower that stuck out off the centre of the face, representing his nose.

"Hmm…" said Dojo "It looks like Jack…Except his nose, it's a bit big…"

"Who cares about his nose!" said Raimundo as he waved his arms about, "He's built it! Now let's do something about it!"

"Your right" said Omi "We can talk about this later, now we need to go there and kick butt!"

They all looked at Omi with blank faces.

"And how do we do that?" said Colza "It's a space station, meaning it's in space!"

"At max, Dojo, Colza and The Sliver Manta Ray can get to just below the Ozone layer" said Master Fung "But luckily there is something we can use"

"What's that Master Fung?" said Clay. Before he could reply, Dojo and Cloza began to go crazy.

"Whoa!" gasped Colza "A new Wu has become active!"

Master Fung reached into his robes and pulled out the Wu scroll.

"When the enemy moves off this planet and into space, a new Wu will become active, the Ark Angel" said Master Fung as he opened the scroll, the picture in the blue circle showed a man holding a small half angel, half dragon statue. He held it above his head and it suddenly grew in size, encasing the man in a large dragon shaped shell. Fire then erupted from the bottom of the shell; it then took off and flew off the top of the circle.

"That looked way cool" said Kimiko.

"The Ark Angel is a portable rocket ship" said Master Fung "Capable of sending people into space"

"Dashi was the first man on the moon 1500 years ago" said Dojo "So much for Neil Armstrong…"

"Now that is even cooler!" said Kimiko "We have to get it!"

"Kimiko's right" said Omi "Jack, Chase or Wuya may have detected it; we must get it before they do!"

"Well let's go!" said Dojo as he super sized, "Before my Wu rash breaks out…"

"Umm…Dojo?" said Colza as she climbed up onto Master Fung's shoulders, "If its alright with you…I'd like to stay here, you know…Just in case Master Fung needs help"

"Sure" said Dojo, he smiled as he gently moved his giant finger to her, she hugged it as he lifted her to his head.

"Be careful…" whispered Colza as she kissed him.

"You too" said Dojo as he lowered her to the ground. He then pushed off from the floor and took off into the sky.

Skies above Florida…

"Here we are…" said Dojo "Sunny Florida, home of orange juice and The Ark Angel"

Kimiko looked over the horizon; the Shadow Ecliptis was just visible. It was currently positioned over China, looking down at the temple.

"Okay" said Ryan as Dojo landed down on a long sandy beach, "Let's get that rocket!"

"Okay Dojo" said Clay "Sniff it out"

Dojo began slivering across the sand as he looked around the beach.

"No…No…Nope" said Dojo as he dug small holes in the sand, "Hmm…Dashi hid it around here somewhere…"

What sort of rocket is it?" said Raimundo as he checked under a piece of driftwood.

"Hmm…" thought Dojo "It's a spaceship, plain and simple"

"I think he's asking about the rocket's specifications" said Kimiko as she checked up a palm tree, "What can it do?"

"Hmm…" thought Dojo as he pulled out the Wu scroll, "Well…It's fast…It has shielding…That about covers it…"

They continued their search, Dojo decided to climb up onto Ryan's head to get a better view of the place. The calm air that was once filled with the sound of waves crashing on the shore and the seagulls flying above them was now filled with the sound of high powered jets.

"Uh oh…" said Omi as he looked out across the ocean, "Looks like we're not the only ones after the rocket…"

The sound of jets got louder as they all looked out across the ocean, a wave of Jack Spicer's Jack Bots and a large black jet came flying towards them.

"Jack Spicer…" said Ryan as the jet circled the air above them.

Sand was blown into the air as the jet landed on the beach, the Dragons moved back as the Jack Bots created a parameter around the jet. Music filled the air as Jack Spicer's theme tune filled the air.

"Jack Spicer!" taunted Jack as the cockpit rose and he jumped out, "The prince of darkness has arrived!"

"Jack Spicer!" yelled Omi "You can build a giant space station! But you won't stop us from getting to it by taking the Ark Angel from us!"

Jack stood there for a moment as he looked at them with a blank expression on his face.

"What?" said Jack "What space station? I haven't built a…wait a minuet…This is some kind of Xiaolin mind trick isn't it!"

He laughed as the Dragon's advanced towards the Jack Bots parameter.

"Nice try" laughed Jack "But your silly lies about a space station are stupid, do you know how long it would take?"

"Jack, you're going down!" said Raimundo "Your ruses won't trick us! We know you've got a big plan going on!"

"Duh!" taunted Jack as he jumped out off the jet, "You're as dumb of the cowpoke…"

Clay snorted as he glared at the Goth. Ryan sighed as he looked at a small rock pool, a small glowing dragon was bobbing in the shallow water.

"Bingo…" said Ryan as he grinned to himself, he suddenly turned in the opposite direction and pointed towards the horizon.

"Look!" called Ryan "Ark Angel ho!"

Everyone, including the Jack Bots looked off in the wrong direction. Ryan then shot off in the right direction, with Dojo still on his head, clinging for dear life.

"Ryan!" cried Dojo, making everyone look at them as Ryan ran across the warm sand, "You're going the wrong way! You said it was the other way?"

Ryan grinned as he pointed forward; Dojo looked up as he saw the Ark Angel floating in the pool like a toy rocket in a bathtub. A few Jack Bots tried to stop him by moving in front of him, but Ryan smashed through them with ease. He leapt at the pool, his hand inches from the Ark Angel, when Jack landed beside him, both of them touching the Ark Angel at the same time.

"Jack Spicer!" said Ryan "I challenge you to Xiaolin Sho-ww-dd-oo-ww-nn…Ww-hh-aa-tt tt-hh-ee hh-ee-ll-ll?"

Both of them looked up as the ground around them began to shake. The sea began to churn and the sand below them began to blow away from beneath as a strong blast of wind came from the Ark Angel. A bright light shone from the Ark Angel, encasing them in a light shield.

"What's going on?" gasped Kimiko as they all cowered from the light, "Is it activating?"

As the light died down, the three of them gasped at what they saw. There was a large red metal dragon, the size of a large coach. Instead of a tail, there were four large rocket boosters. On the side of one of the boosters was the Xiaolin logo, a black and white dragon coiled around a star. Next to it were the words "Ark Angel XS-1". In the cockpit, which was slightly bigger than the Silver Manta Ray's cockpit, they could see Ryan's, Jack's and Dojo's bewildered faces through the curved glass.

"Uh…Guys?" gasped Clay "What's going on?"

"Looks like…Countdown to launch!" gasped Raimundo. He was right; smoke began to billow out of the four boosters. They could hear the four boosters powering up as the Ark Angel began to hover in the air.

"Hit the deck!" yelled Raimundo as he grabbed Kimiko and Clay by the arm and pulled them behind a sand dune. There was a loud boom as the boosters burst into flame, signalling rocket ignition. The rocket sailed through the air at top speed as it shot off across the ocean.

"Quick!" said Kimiko as she pulled out the Silver Manta Ray, "After them!"

"DOJO!" yelled Ryan as he; Jack and Dojo were pinned to the back of the cockpit wall because of the G-force, "DO SOMETHING BEFORE WE CRASH!"

"WHAT SHOULD I DO?" yelled Dojo "I HAVEN'T USED THIS FOR 1500 YEARS!"

"JUST DO SOMETHING!" yelled Jack as he clutched his nose, "AHH! NOSEBLEED!"

Dojo slowly dragged himself against the G-force as he got to the pilot controls; he grabbed the joystick and pulled back, sending the rocked upwards into the sky. They went higher and higher, until the rocket began to slow down, and the strength of the G-force weakened.

"Uhh…" groaned Jack as he and Ryan fell to the floor, "Where are we?"

Ryan's eyes opened as he felt his body become as light as a feather and float off the ground. He floated upside-down a few feet off the ground as he floated towards the cockpit window. He gasped as he looked out the window, and saw planet Earth thousands of miles below them and the stars were shining brightly.

"Oh my god…" gasped Ryan as Jack and Dojo floated beside him, "We're in space…"

There in space now…Dun dun duh…Okay, now that's over and done with, R&R everyone!
