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

44: A Blast from the Past

Detention room…

4 Hours, 32 minuets, 45 seconds till Cannon fire…

Kimiko sighed as she stared up at the ceiling, it was impossible to relax in the tiny cell that only had metal flooring. She looked over at Ryan, he was fast asleep. She smiled slightly as she saw how peaceful he looked; the HN03 drug must have worn off by now. She was going to wake him up so they could talk, but since they had been captured, he had been tortured non-stop and he was exhausted. She looked up when she heard some clones come into the room. They both stood outside Ryan's cell and disabled the laser field.

"Come on!" called one of the clones as they both step beside the still sleeping Ryan, "Get up!"

He kicked Ryan in the stomach hard, causing him to yell as he rolled over.

"Oww!" yelled Ryan as he woke up, "What the hell was that for?"

"Wake up!" said one of the guards, "It time for more interrogation, get up!"

He kicked Ryan hard again, causing Kimiko to yell out.

"Leave him alone, you bastard!" yelled Kimiko. One of the clones looked up at Kimiko; he narrowed his eyes as he walked towards her cell. The laser field disappeared and the clone walked towards her, glaring menacingly at her. Ryan was pulled to his feet and pinned up against the wall with his arm being held behind his back, but he could still see what was going on in Kimiko's cell. He gasped as he saw Kimiko hanging by her neck from the clone's hand. She choked for breath as she kicked her feet in the air.

"You should think before speaking…little girl!" sneered the clone as he watched Kimiko's face turn red.

"Kimiko!" yelled Ryan, he tried to break free but he only had his head bashed against the metal wall.

"Leave her alone!" yelled Raimundo as he kicked the walls of his cell.

"You no good varmints!" yelled Clay "Picking on a girl like that!"

The clone sneered as he threw Kimiko into the wall; she hit the wall with sickening thud and rolled onto the floor.

"Kimiko!" gasped Ryan. She didn't move, Ryan mouth fell open as the clones dragged him away.

"Kimiko!" yelled Ryan as he was dragged down the metal corridor, "KIMIKO!"

"Kimiko!" called Omi "Are you okay?"

Kimiko let out a weak groan as she stirred slightly, a small pool of blood began to ooze from under her face where she was thrown into the wall.

"Kimiko!" called Raimundo.

"I'm…fine…" groaned Kimiko as she slowly got up and propped herself against the wall.

Torture room…

4:31:36 till Cannon fire…

Katnappè looked up as he heard Ryan's voice yelling down the corridor as two clones came in dragging him in.

"You bastards!" yelled Ryan "If I ever get free, you two are the first to die!"

The clones laughed as they hoisted him up into the metal brace he was in earlier. Ryan groaned as he saw the needle crackle with energy again.

"Good to see you again" said Katnappè as she stepped up to him, "Sleep well?"

"Well I was till your goons showed up" growled Ryan "If it wasn't for the anti-elemental neck brace, I would of Supernovaed your ass into orbit!"

Katnappè said nothing as she stepped closer to him, gently resting her face against his.

"You know I can stop all this pain you're suffering" said Katnappè "Join me and help Chase conquer the world, we can then live our lives together…We could go for long walks across golden sandy beaches, sit under the stars, then we can go back to our home where we'll make mad and passionate…"

She looked up as she felt something wet splatter her face, she frowned at Ryan who just spat at her.

"Don't you get it?" said Ryan "I could never love a girl like you, even when I was on the Heylin side, I thought of tearing you limb from limb!"

Katnappè bit her lip as it began to quiver. She said nothing as she walked towards the control panel and sat down at it.

"The truth hurts…" said Ryan.

Ryan looked at her again and saw her face was now twisted in anger.

"Not as much as this!" growled Katnappè as she pushed a button. Ryan yelled as he felt another syringe prick him, injecting him with more HN03. Suddenly a blast of energy hit him, Ryan screamed as he thrashed about in the brace in pain. His body flopped like a jelly as the energy was cut off. He took deep breaths as the drug began to take effect.

"Let's begin!" said Katnappè "Where is the Tesla Dynamo?"

"I told you!" groaned Ryan "The Xiaolin Dragon's had it last; if they don't have it then I don't know where it is!"

"Wrong!" ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! "ARRRRRRRR!"

"Second question" said Katnappè "Do you love me?"

"No!" yelled Ryan

"Wrong again! You do love me, you just can't see it!" ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! "ARRRRRRRR!"

"Third question" said Katnappè "What's two plus two?"

"What?" groaned Ryan "What kind of…dumb ass question is…that?"

"Answer the question!" ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! "ARRRRRRRR!"

"Okay…" groaned Ryan "F…four…"

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! "ARRRRRRRR!" screamed Ryan "What…the hell…was that for? I…answered…the question!"

"I know" said Katnappè "I just felt like shocking you…See? Love can make you do silly things…"

Ryan groaned as he felt woozy, suddenly his head fell forward, hanging limp from his shoulders.

"Okay Ryan" said Katnappè "What's the best day to have a wedding? Ryan?"

Ryan said nothing as he hung silently from the metal brace.

"Playing dumb now, are we?" said Katnappè "We will soon loosen those lips…"

She pushed the zap button again, blasting Ryan with energy again. His body jittered franticly, but Ryan didn't speak.

"Uhh…Fallen unconscious have we?" said Katnappè "Men…They never last…Guards! Keep an eye on him, if he comes to, keep on integrating him"

Katnappè walked from the room, leaving Ryan in an almost dead state.

Later…

4:06:15 till Cannon fire…

Ryan tried to move his body, but he was still stuck in the brace. He looked around him, but everything was dark, he tried to listen but everything was quite, he tried to speak but nothing left his lips. He felt alone, he couldn't even feel the warmth of Kimiko's chi. Tears began falling from his eyes as he realised the truth, it was the end, Chase had finally beaten him. He was doomed to face the world as the boy who failed.

"Ryan…" echoed a voice in his head.

"Oh great…" thought Ryan "The world's ending, I'm a failure…And now I'm hearing voices…"

"Shut up Ryan…" groaned the voice "You were always the stupid one…"

"What?" thought Ryan "That voice? Why does that sound familiar?"

"Because Chase hasn't fully restored your memory" said the voice "But that's not the point, if you stay here any longer you will die"

"Do you think I don't know that?" thought Ryan "But I'm currently stuck in a metal brace at the moment!"

"That's why I'm going to break you out!" said the voice "I'm not just a voice in your head, I'm communicating with you via telepathy"

"Who…Who are you?" thought Ryan.

"Let's just say I'm also an enemy of Chase and you did something for me long ago…" said the voice "I'm just returning the favour, but after that, we're enemies again!"

"Err…Okay…" thought Ryan "I have no idea who you are…But if you're going to release me, get on with it!"

"Good, we have an understanding" said the voice "Now hold on, you're going to wake up soon, that is when I'll break you free…3…2…1…Singala Moon Wave! Psyche!"

Ryan felt his body twitch as he slowly regained conscience. He opened his eyes and saw he was still in the torture room, but the mysterious girl was nowhere to be seen.

"Well, well, well…" said one of the guards who were left to guard him, "Sleeping beauty's finally woken up…"

Ryan felt woozy again, as he was still dazed from being out cold. One of the guards was about to zap Ryan again, when the door opened, and a strange sensation filled the air. A girl, dressed in robes that would make people easily mistake her as a famous sorceress, hovered into the room. She had shiny brown eyes and long flowing hair which was brown, except for a strip of snow white hair that hung in front of her face. She was quite tall and a rather attractive young girl as she hovered towards Ryan.

"Who are you!" demanded one of the guards as they both stood in front of her, armed with swords.

"I am here to release Ryan on Chase's orders" said the girl as she waved her hand in front of one of the guards, "You are dismissed until you are needed again"

"What?" said one of the guards, "We don't take orders from people we don't know, who are you?"

"She is here to release Ryan on Chase's orders" said the guard who the girl had waved her hand in front of in a monotone voice, "We are dismissed until we are needed again…"

The guard immediately turned around and walked out of the room with a zombie like face.

"What the hell?" gasped the other guard "What did you do to him? Who are you?"

"I am no one" said the girl as she waved her hand in his face, "I am just a figment of your imagination and you are off on your break"

"You are no one" said the guard in a monotone voice "You are just a figment of my imagination and I'm off on my break"

He then left the room with the same zombified face as the first guard, leaving her and the still rather woozy Ryan alone. She grinned as she faced him, still hanging limp from the brace. She waved her hand at Ryan and the clips around his wrists and ankles came undone. Instead of falling to the ground, Ryan felt this strange force gently lower him to the ground. He weakly opened his eyes as he saw the girl look down at him.

"Who are you?" groaned Ryan as he felt his mind go dizzy again.

"I'm an old acquaintance from your past" said the girl "Remember me?"

"You…" groaned Ryan. He couldn't find the energy to talk anymore, he sighed as he passed out again. But after what seemed to be five seconds, he came to and saw that the girl was gone.

"Uhh…"groaned Ryan as he stumbled to his feet, "What just happened?"

He suddenly remembered.

"Kimiko!" gasped Ryan as he ran out of the torture room at top speed.

More mysteries! I've got to make a list of all the stuff that happens…Anyway, thanks for reading, so now review! See you tomorrow!
