Chapter 10

The Sword of Power

The three monks could only gape at where the portal had been moments before. Finally Kimiko broke the silence that had fallen upon them by saying in a worried voice, "Where do you think Raimundo took Selina?"

"I don't know." Clay replied trying to keep his voice calm.

"You do not think Raimundo has betrayed us again and left to go to Chase Young's place, do you?" Omi asked in a troubled voice.

Both Clay and Kimiko sighed as they shook their heads at Omi. "No Omi, I don't think Raimundo would. In fact I think that Chase Young's place would be the last place Raimundo would take Selina."

Omi cocked his head and said, "Why?"

"Because," Kimiko said, "Raimundo seemed very persistent to keep the fact that Chase Young was still alive from Selina."

"Ohhh…" Omi said.

"It makes logical sense to me." Clay chimed in.

"Besides," Kimiko said, "We saw Raimundo drag Selina into the portal, so I highly doubt that Raimundo would drag Selina to Chase Young's place."

"Well, what if this is all part of some sort of secret and elaborate plan designed to fool us into thinking that Raimundo did not go to Chase Young's place." Omi asked.

Kimiko rolled her eyes before replying, "Omi I think you're looking into this a bit too much. Raimundo can barely stand Selina. I honestly think Raimundo would never join Chase Young, much less bring her to him."

"You may be right Kimiko, but lately Raimundo has become mysterious and I guess I was just thinking of conclusions." Omi said.

Clay and Kimiko just stared at Omi very confused until Kimiko said, "Ohhh… you mean jumping to conclusions."

Omi stared at Kimiko confused now and said, "That makes no sense."

Clay looked at them both and quickly changed the subject by saying, "What if Raimundo went to Brazil?"

Kimiko shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know it's a possibility though."

"You are most right Clay, Raimundo must have gone to Brazil." Omi said.

"And why's that, Omi?" Clay asked.

"Well." Omi started to say before he got interrupted.

Dojo suddenly came slithering into the garden holding up the Shen Gong Wu Scroll. He looked at them frantically before saying, "Shen Gong Wu Alert!"

"Really?" Kimiko said, "What is it?"

"It's the Sword of Power. It can break through any kind of substance on earth." Dojo replied.

"So where exactly is this Sword located Dojo." Clay asked.

"Well Clay, it just so happens to be located in Rio de Janeiro." Dojo said

"Oh," Clay said somewhat shocked.

"Come my fellow monks, let us retrieve this new Shen Gong Wu before the forces of evil do." Omi said. They all agreed with Omi on that and got onto Dojo. Dojo then lifted them into the air and took off heading for Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Raimundo landed on the soft warm beach of Rio de Janeiro. He looked at the left side of him and saw an unconscious Selina on the ground. He got up as fast as he could, which wasn't really fast, and hobbled to the water of the ocean. He cupped his hands and splashed water on his face. He then used the ocean water to clean his cuts to the best of his abilities. He dragged Selina to the ocean's edge and stared to clean her cuts with the best of his abilities.

Slowly Selina started to regain consciousness and the first thing she saw was Raimundo's face. She let out a small yelp when she saw Raimundo. She glared at him and said, "What do you think your doing?"

He looked at her calmly before replying, "Just fixing up your wounds."

"Why?" She demanded

"Because it's the right thing for me to do."

She glared at him again before standing up. "Look just leave me alone." She said angrily. Raimundo followed after her and said, "But Selina…"

"Just leave me alone." Selina yelled at him. She started to walk faster.

Raimundo started to walk faster in order to catch up with her. "Wait Selina…" Raimundo began to say before he tripped on something hidden in the sand. Selina turned around and started to cackle at the sight of Raimundo's fallen form in the sand. Raimundo glared at her before saying, "That wasn't funny."

"Actually it was." Selina said with a genuine smile on her face.

Raimundo got up, very angry at what had happened. He put his hand on the object to see what it was he had tripped on. He pulled it up from the sand and gasped.

Selina looked at him and said, "So what exactly did you fall on." She stopped laughing when she the expression on Raimundo's face. "What, What is it Raimundo."

He could only look on the sword before saying, "I can't believe it. It's the Sword of Power!"

"What!" Selina asked very shocked. "You're kidding right." Raimundo could only shake his head. "What? Let me see that." She tried to grab the sword from Raimundo but Raimundo pulled it away from her.

"Are you kidding me? Do you honestly think that I would give you the sword? Do you even realize how powerful it is?"

"Yeah, I do and that's why I will get my hands on that sword one way or another." Selina said threateningly.

"Just try." Challenged Raimundo as he glared at her.

Selina slowly made her way to where Raimundo was. Then before he could react Selina stretched out her hand as fast as lightning and held onto the tip of the sword. Raimundo tried to tug it out of her grasp but she refused to let go. The sword started to glow yellow. Both of them noticed that but Raimundo opened his mouth first to say, "Selina I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. The game will be a race across the beach. The first to the other end wins."

"I accept your challenge Raimundo but, no Shen Gong Wu will be used or any elements." Replied Selina.

"Agreed." Raimundo grunted.

Please R&R everyone.
