Damn it! Writer's block again! I know what's supposed to happen but no words seem to appear on the computer screen! And I am THIS CLOSE to finishing the story and beginning the next story…Anyway, thanks for R&R!

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown (although some said I should…)

Xiaolin Showdown: Legend of the Thunder Child III: Apocalypse Clone

32: The Ibis Cannon

Ryan walked down the aisle between the stasis tanks, it was as if he was walking down through a hall of mirrors, but the mirrors were green and the clones were garbed in Heylin robes.

"Is this what I am?" said Ryan as he looked at the thousands of tanks, "Just used to be…cloned…"

Ryan looked up ahead of him; a large computer screen was glowing in front of a control panel, the screen was covered in information on the entire room.

"This is just plain creepy…" said Dojo as he slivered up onto Ryan's shoulder, "My advice is that we get out of here, ASAP!"

"No…" said Ryan as he stood up and walked towards the computer, "I'm going to find out what is going on, we need to know what Chase is going to do with my…copies…"

He stepped up to the computer and began typing; a warning notice appeared, requesting a password.

"Hmm…" thought Ryan "Password? Chase isn't very technologically advanced, so his password shouldn't be that complex…"Heylin"…No"

Jack sighed as he looked closely at one of the tanks, the Ryan in it was breathing softly as tubes filled with strange substances that flowed through its body.

"Maybe I should make a clone army?" said Jack. The Ryan's eyes twitched, making Jack jump.

"What the…" gasped Jack as he lent in close. He stared at the Ryan, but he didn't move.

"Uhh…Must have been my imagination…" sighed Jack. Suddenly the Ryan's eyes opened, Jack squealed as he fell backwards onto the floor.

"Rya…Rya…Rya!" stuttered Jack as he scrambled away from the tank, the Ryan was pulling the tubes out of his body; he then pushed hard on the lid which slowly opened. The front of the glass slid down, spilling green fluid over the floor.

"RYA…RYA…RYA!" stuttered Jack as he got to his feet and dashed to Ryan.

"Jack!" said Ryan "Keep it down! "Ryan"…No"

Jack whimpered as he looked back behind, there were more Ryan clones emerging from their tanks and walking towards Ryan, Dojo and Jack with dark glares on their faces.

"Haba…Haya…Whobu!" stuttered Jack as he began tugging at Ryan's shirt.

"Jack!" yelled Ryan as he shoved Jack off his shirt, "Stop making stupid noises! Dojo, tell him to shut up…"Eclipse Reactor"…Damn it!"

Dojo sighed as he turned around on Ryan's shoulders.

"Be quite Jack!" said Dojo, his eyes widened as saw the group of Ryan clones slowly walking towards them.

"Rya…Rya…Rya!" stuttered Dojo as he began pulling at his collar, "Haba…Haya…Whobu!"

"Dojo! Don't you start!" said Ryan, Dojo kept on tugging on his shirt as Ryan typed in another password, ""Shen Gong Wu"…Damn it! Dojo! Stop it!"

Ryan spun around to yell at Jack and Dojo, his eyes widened when he saw they were surrounded by Ryan clones.

"Rya…Rya…Rya!" stuttered Ryan "Haba…Haya…Whobu!"

The air became heavily as the Ryan clones stared at them like angry zombies.

"Cheese it!" yelled Dojo. Before Ryan, Jack or Dojo could react, every single Ryan Clone leapt on them, pummelling them with a barrage of punches and kicks. Before Ryan passed out, the last thing he saw was a close up of the floor as he was dragged away from the room.

Later…

"Uhh…" groaned Ryan "My head…"

He looked around the room he was in, his eyes were blurred, but he could just make out a few things. He seemed to be stuck in a metal brace with his hands and feet bound in metal locks. He could see he was in a large room with a huge metal sphere in one corner. He looked the other way and saw Dojo and Jack in the same circumstance as Ryan. He then looked forward and saw a figure standing in front of a huge window that over looked Earth, around the figure were slightly shorter figures that were looking at Ryan. Ryan tried to focus his eyes as the tall figure walk towards him.

"Welcome to the Shadow Ecliptis" said a familiar voice, "I see you've stumbled upon my secret project…"

Ryan's eyes began to focus as he saw one of the Ryan Clones walked towards him and punched him hard in the stomach.

"OOOF!" gasped Ryan as he flinched, "Damn it…"

"Pretty good, huh?" said Chase as he grinned at Ryan, "I think your brothers came out very well"

"So you couldn't beat me normally…" said Dojo "So you copied me to over swarm me"

"Not precisely, Ryan" said Chase as he walked away from him, "I though I'd use you to take over the world, but then I though you alone wasn't enough, so I cloned you"

Ryan narrowed his eyes at him as he stood in front of the window and looked down at Earth.

"But there is something I don't understand" said Chase "Why is Jack helping you?"

"Can I just say one thing" said Jack as he fidgeted in his metal brace, "I have no idea what's going on"

"I see…" said Chase as he raised an eyebrow, "I knew there was something fishy about Jack when he helped me…no matter…"

He grinned as he walked over to a computer panel.

"What do you plan to do with this army?" said Ryan. Chase looked at Ryan with a smirk on his face.

"What else?" said Chase "With this army, I can finally conquer the world"

"Go figure…" sighed Dojo.

"But that's only the beginning…" said Chase "This space station that Jack provided, combined with the Eclipse Reactor, has a secret weapon…"

"Oh my god!" gasped Jack as his eyes widened, "You don't mean?"

Chase said nothing as he stepped up to a large screen.

"Yes Jack" said Chase as he grinned evilly. The screen buzzed with static as a layout of the Shadow Ecliptis appeared on the screen.

"As you can see" said Chase as he pointed to the centre of the Shadow Ecliptis's blueprints, "The core is situated at the end of this long tube"

He ran his finger along a long tube that when from the core, right to the tip of the long tower that stuck from the Shadow Ecliptis's "face".

"This "Tube"" said Chase as the screen disappeared from view, "Is probably the best creation that Jack has ever made that I can actually find any use for"

"Thanks" said Jack. Chase gave a disgruntled sneer as he looked out the window.

"Maybe it will be better if I demonstrate the awesome power of this space station" said Chase as a dark smirk crept across his face, "The power to destroy the stars themselves…And the world!"

"Start up the Eclipse Reactor!" barked Chase, immediately the Ryan Clones ran to controls panels and began pushing buttons. Ryan looked up as a door opened and Wuya came walking out.

"There's never any hot water in this place…" grumbled Wuya.

"Wuya!" said Chase excitedly, "Come here; come see this space station's true power! You too Ryan, Dojo and Jack"

A group of Ryan Clones grabbed them and held them against the window so they could see too.

"But we only have three of the eight Elementa" said Wuya.

"That's more than enough for the demonstration" said Chase. A huge buzzing noise began to emanate from the core of the Shadow Ecliptis.

"Ready?" said Chase as he stepped up to the window, "Fire the Ibis Cannon!"

The whole space station began to shake as the tower that was Jack's nose began to open up, revealed a gigantic cannon. Energy began to crackle as energy arced from the cannon. Just as the energy looked like it would engulf the space station, it fired. The beam of energy shot through space, straight towards its target, the moon. It hit the moon, digging its way into the centre; there was a loud bang as the surface of the moon crumbled away, revealing a huge smouldering crater. Jack, Wuya, Dojo and Ryan's jaws drop as they saw the destruction that was just unleashed. Chase grinned as he looked at their shocked faces.

"What do you think?" said Chase.

"YOU BLEW HALF THE MOON UP!" yelled Ryan.

"That is but three eighths of the Ibis Cannon's power" said Chase "To unleash its true power, I need the five remaining sources of Elementa, namely your Elemental Wu"

"Oh! Oh!" said Wuya excitedly, "Let's blow up the temple!"

"No" said Chase "If we do, we will lose the Elementa, we will invade instead"

"Invade!" gasped Dojo.

"Prepare the troops!" barked Chase, "And put our prisoners in the prison!"

More Ryan clones began to run about, commanding other Ryan clones on what to do.

"You monster!" yelled Ryan as he and the others were dragged away, "You won't get away with this!"

"I all ready have" said Chase "I have the ultimate army of ultimate warriors, I have a weapon capable of destroying the world, all of the worlds defences are useless against my power, and if they don't surrender and let my troops take over, I'll destroy every nation every hour on the hour until they do!"

Ryan roared as he managed to get his hand free from one of the Ryan Clones, he punched both of them hard and knocked them back. The then attacked the guards holding Dojo, grabbed him and sprinted off down the hall.

"Hey!" yelled Jack "What about me?"

"Find him!" yelled Wuya "He mustn't warn the temple about our attack!"

"Patience Wuya" said Chase "They can warn them, but they can't stop us, their defeat is inevitable…"

The world is doomed! Chase has a big cannon and a huge army (Wartime, Ze-Smai!) This is where I'd normally input a large amount of questions for you to think about but I can't be assed…Instead, why don't you go on my DeviantART site and look in my favs, there is a kick ass picture of Ryan that was done by a friend (It's called "Jackie and Ryan rob Barclays"…PLEASE do not ask, seriously…Don't ask…)

There is something about this story that some of you may have noticed…I wonder if anyone can see what it is…Anyway, R&R!
