Hello and welcome back from my new home at Staffordshire University! I'm sorry it has been awhile, I have moved into my new room at my University and I've been having trouble getting to the internet, but now that I have, everything should go smoothly. All that is left is the times that I can do it, but that should be sorted soon…Anyway, on with the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown


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

42: Heylin Invasion

Xiaolin Temple Ruins…

Chase grinned as he walked through the burning ruins of the once great Xiaolin temple; the bodies of the dead and wounded littered the ground as clones swarmed everywhere, tearing what little they could find to the ground.

"Keep looking!" yelled Chase "Don't stop until we have found it!"

"Sir!" hissed one of the clones, "We have prisoners, shall we dispose of them?"

"No, bring them here" said Chase "They may know where it is…"

The clone bowed before running off, a group of clones then came back, dragging near dead, blood stained people behind them.

"Ahh…" said Chase "Out of all the people who I expected to survive…"

The people landed on the floor with a thud, they all laid on the floor, gasping for life. He grinned as he crouched down to the oldest person.

"Good to see you without a full body cast on, Master Fung" said Chase.

"Laugh all you want…" said Master Fung in a weak voice, "You won't find the Elemental Wu here…"

"Don't have to" said Chase as he clicked his fingers, as clone approached him with the Cat's Eye Draco, Long Horn Taurus, Crest of the Condor and the Kaijin Charm. Master Fung gasped as Chase dangled them in his face.

"But how?" gasped Master Fung "I told them to hide…"

"They were brought out of hiding" said Chase "A young girl did actually…A little girl worried sick about her little boyfriend…"

"Kimiko…" groaned Master Fung "Foolish girl…"

"Enough talk" said Chase "Now where is it?"

"Where's what?" said Master Fung. Chase sneered as he put his hands around his collar and lifted him up.

"Don't play dumb!" said Chase "I know your hiding the Tesla Dynamo, where is it?"

"The Tesla Dynamo?" said Master Fung "I though the Dragons took that?"

"That is what I thought" said Chase "But when I checked the Wu, it wasn't there, I searched the Dragons and came up empty, so where is it?"

Before Master Fung could speak, another voice spoke up behind him.

"Even if we did know" said the voice "Do you think we would tell you?"

Chase narrowed his eyes at the girl who talked back to him back at him.

"Lizz…" said Master Fung "Don't…"

"What was that little girl?" said Chase as he looked at her. He growled as he picked her up by the jaw bone. She choked for air as she kicked her legs, trying to reach the floor.

"Don't step out of line, little brat!" spat Chase in her face, "Don't forget who is in charge now!"

He flung her into a nearby wall; she hit it with a loud thud as she slid painfully to the ground.

"Be careful what you say…" said Chase "Unless you want your friends to meet an unfortunate end…"

He looked at Jermaine, Colza, Hannah and Kelko and gave them a dark grin, making them feel uncomfortable.

"What shall we do with them?" hissed one of the clones.

"Lock them up" said Chase "Continue to interrogate them, the Tesla Dynamo must be found!"

The clones stepped beside Lizz and dragged her away, along with Master Fung, Hannah, Jermaine and Colza and Kelko. Chase looked over at Wuya, who was staring in awe at the flaming ruins of the temple.

"Such destruction…" said Wuya as she watched the fires dance, "I love it..."

"The fun has only started…" said Chase" Once the Dragon's have been locked up on the Shadow Ecliptis, we will interrogate them on the whereabouts of the Tesla Dynamo, once we have it…"

"Let me guess" said Wuya "World domination!"

She cackled her evil laugh as the last of the temple buildings fell.

"Prepare the ship!" barked Chase at the clones, "We return to the Shadow Ecliptis in ten minuets!"


Later, on board the Shadow Ecliptis…

Omi sighed as he paced the dingy cell he was in; each wall was reinforced with what seemed to be a thousand layers of metal. He walked towards the door of his cell, which was a thick energy field which gave anyone who touched it a painful electric shock. He would break out, but his anti-elemental neck brace stop him from using his element. He looked through the field at his friends; Raimundo was opposite him and was sitting against the wall staring into space. Near him was Dojo's cell, he was curled up in a ball snoozing. Jack was next to him, being locked up in the same cell for awhile now he was very lonely, but he was happy to finally have company, even if they didn't want to talk to him. Clay was next to him, he was leaning against the back wall looking into Kimiko's cell. Omi looked into her cell, but couldn't see her; she was hiding in the shadowy corner of her cell.

"Clay?" said Omi "How is she?"

"Still hiding little partner…" sighed Clay "She won't talk or listen, not even let us know she's fine…"

"Come on girl…" said Raimundo "We were all worried about the others, and we would have gladly helped"

There was the sound of someone moving from the shadows of Kimiko's cell.

"But what you did was just plain reckless" said Omi "Because of that stunt you pulled off…you lost all our Wu"

"ALRIGHT!" shrieked Kimiko's voice "I GET IT! I'M SORRY!"

Kimiko burst into tears as she walked towards her cell door.

"Do you think it's just easy to stand by and watch the only person who means more to you than the whole world die?" cried Kimiko "No! You don't! Because you never had a loved one like Ryan! Never!"

She cried into her hands as she fell to her knees. Raimundo sighed as he sat back down.

"I'm sorry Kimiko…" said Raimundo "I know how much you love him…"

Kimiko didn't say anything; she continued to cry into her hands.

"Ryan…" thought Kimiko as she rubbed her eyes, "Where are you? Where you brought up her too? I hope you're still alive…Please…still be alive…"


Meanwhile…

Ryan groaned as he came to, his head was throbbing with pain and his eyes were foggy. As he looked around the room, his eyes began to focus as he felt his body recover. He looked to his left and saw a number of tubes linked from a large container into his body. The container was filled with a red blood like substance that was slowly dripping down the tubes and into his body, slowly refilling his blood level. He then looked to his left and saw there was a metal cast around what seemed to be his arm. His eyes widened as he saw the metal cast hiss then separate, revealing a brand new arm attached to his body. Ryan flexed it and wiggled his fingers, it wasn't robotic, it was pure flesh and bone, exactly like his old arm. He tried to touch it with his other hand, but couldn't because his other arm and both his legs were locked in a metal brace.

"Huh?" said Ryan as he tried to struggle out, "What's going on?"

"How do you like your new arm?" said a voice from the darkness that surrounded Ryan. A large metal claw came out and grabbed Ryan's free hand and locked it in place in the metal brace.

"That voice?" said Ryan "Could it be…"

"Having lots of clone, you can't be too short of a few body parts" said the voice "I picked out that arm myself, what do you think?"

"No…" gasped Ryan "It can't be…"

"I think its purrrrfect" purred the voice.

"Katnappè!" gasped Ryan, there was a sudden flash as the lights came on, bathing the whole area in light. As Ryan's eyes became accustomed to the light, he looked up and saw Katnappè standing in front of him.

"That's right!" said Katnappè "Katnappè! Ryan Young's true love and soon to be Mrs Young!"

"In your dreams!" sneered Ryan. Katnappè giggled as she turned her back on him.

"Someone's in denial" said Katnappè "You know we're destined to be together…"

"Yes, yes, whatever…" said Ryan "Can you get to the point and stop wasting my time?"

Katnappè grinned as she lent close so her lips her near his.

"So feisty…" whispered Katnappè as she went near his ear, gently licking his cheek, "I find that…so sexy in a man…"

Ryan groaned in disgust as she walked away from him and sat at a control panel near him.

"I think that's enough flirting for now…" sighed Katnappè as she gazed dreamily at him, "Chase wants answers and I'm going to get them from you…"

She flicked a switch on the control panel and the metal brace around Ryan began to buzz as energy began to build up above him, he looked up and saw a large needle cracking with energy high above him.

"Let's play a game" said Katnappè "It's very simple, I ask questions and you answer them, get them right and we move on to the next one, get it wrong…It's going to hurt…"

Ryan gave an uneasy groan as he looked up at the needle.

"Okay!" said Katnappè "Chase wanted me to ask you stuff like the location of the Tesla Dynamo, but I'll ask about that later because I have better questions…Oh! Almost forgot…"

She pushed a button on the panel and a syringe came out, Ryan gasped as he saw it move towards his arm. He tried to wriggle his arm away from it but it was no use. He yelped as the needle pierced his skin, injecting him with the clear liquid. As soon as that went into his body, he felt like his body was on fire, the pain was unbearable.

"I've injected you with HN03" said Katnappè "It makes you super sensitive to pain, so a pin prick would feel like your arms being ripped off, so imagine what a thousand volts of energy would feel like!"

Ryan groaned as his whole body throbbed with pain.

"Okay! First question!" said Katnappè "Do you love me?"

"No!" said Ryan in an offended and disgusted voice.

"BUZZ! Wrong!" said Katnappè as she pushed a button. Ryan screamed as he felt a thousand volts of energy blast him, the pain was quadrupled by the HN03 drug, making him scream louder. He whimpered as his body went limp, he was hanging from the metal brace like a piece of cloth.

"Next question!" said Katnappè "Do you love Kimiko?"

"Kim…iko…" groaned Ryan "I'll…never…stop…loving her…"

"BUZZ! Wrong again!" said Katnappè. Ryan screamed as he felt more energy fry his insides. He groaned as he felt like he would pass out.

"We're just getting started…" said Katnappè as she grinned at him, "Don't give out on me now Ryan…"


You thought Katnappè would never turn up, huh? I am glad to say that Ryan's got a new arm! And Hanbags and DeafLizgon are still alive, but are captured like everyone else. Chase now has seven of the eight Elementa…But where is the Tesla Dynamo? Find out next time…R&R!
