Chapter 11

The Showdown

Raimundo and Selina glared at each other before they both yelled, " Let's go Xiaolin Showdown."

The surroundings around them began to change. The beach began to get bigger and the waves grew larger and more violent. A clear straight path was marked indicating where they were to run to and at the end the sword could be seen faintly. The wind had started to pick up around them.

Raimundo and Selina both had a determined look on their face before shouting over the wind, "Gong Yi Tampi."

Raimundo struggled against the wind desperately wishing that he could use his element. He realized as soon as he started the race that it would be impossible to run. He limped as fast as he could which wasn't that fast considering the wind really slowed him down. He looked to his right and saw that Selina wasn't having any better luck then him. Suddenly his feet felt sometime cold touch them. He looked down to see the water starting to retreat. He then looked up at the waves and saw a huge wave coming their way. He quickly went to get out of the way. The wave hit the ground and knocked the retreating form of Selina into him. He hit the ground with Selina on top of him and got the wind knocked out of him. Selina rolled onto the sand beside Raimundo and started to breath heavily. The two stayed there on the sand in order to catch their breath.

Selina slowly started to get up and walked around a bit to make sure she could still walk properly. She looked down on the ground to see Raimundo start to stir. She took advantage of this and started to hobble along her way while fighting the fierce winds that were attacking her. Gradually she started to go slower because she was having a difficult time hobbling fast. She decided to rest for a little bit in order to catch her breath. She saw Raimundo limp ahead of her before he was thrown back by a wave. Her eyes widened at the sight and she realized that she was going to have to be extra careful in order to avoid the waves. She started up again and shuffled her feet as fast as they would take her. She saw the finish up ahead and sped up a little more. What she failed to notice as she was closing in on the sword was the huge, towering wave that was about to crash into her. She was about to touch the sword when suddenly she was swept off her feet and slammed into the ground. She struck her head hard and fell into unconsciousness.

Raimundo had recovered from getting hit by the wave and realized that he was going to have to be a lot more careful. He looked ahead and groaned as he realized that Selina had a big lead over him. He took a deep breath and started limping as fast as his feet could carry him. He realized that unless a wave hit Selina, then he had lost for sure. He stopped for a few moments to catch his breath and quickly jumped backwards as a wave crashed onto the ground a few feet away from him. He recovered from his fright quickly and started again. He saw Selina's hand reach out to touch the silver bladed sword with dragons twisting along the golden handle. He held in his breath as he waited for the Showdown to end. He was taken off guard when he saw a wave sweep Selina away from the sword. He let out his breath and started to limp where the sword was, not realizing that he stopped in order to watch Selina almost touch the sword. Slowly but surely he got to where the sword was and touched it indicating the end of the Showdown.

There was a bright flash of light before everything started to go back to normal. It was then that Raimundo realized that his friends were there. He looked around to see who had come and saw Jack Spicer, Wuya, Hannibal Bean, and Chase Young. His eyes widened when he saw Chase. His distantly felt all the hugs and compliments that they were saying. He also dropped the Sword of Power into Omi's hand. He saw Chase glaring coldly at him and he coldly glared back.

Immediately after the Showdown Chase went to make sure that Selina was all right. He checked her pulse and noticed that it was slightly slower than it should be. His eyes looked up, and he glared at Raimundo with pure hatred in them. He summoned his cats to him with a snap of his fingers. He ordered them to surround Raimundo and separate him from his friends. The cats slowly surrounded Raimundo while at the same time pushing the other monks further away from them him.

While the cats were doing that Selina slowly started to stir. She opened her eyes and started to blink in order to see clearer. With a groan she pushed herself into a sitting position. She looked to her right and saw an old man with a hood over his face watching them. She shrugged her shoulders at who the old man could be and turned her attention back to what was going on. She saw Raimundo and Chase giving each other death glares. She slowly got up and looked to see whom exactly had come for the Shen Gong Wu. She saw Raimundo's friends on the left side of her, across from her. Jack was a little further back from the monks a little on their right side. Wuya was on the right side of her a little closer to where Raimundo was. Hannibal was sitting on her shoulder with an amused smile on his face. Wuya was watching with an interesting smile on her face. The monks had a concerned look and Jack had a scared look on his face.

Chase looked over at Selina and asked in a quiet voice, "Are you ok?"

Selina nodded her head and said, "Yeah, I'll be alright."

"Good," Chase said under his breath. He then turned his attention back to Raimundo. He his eyes narrowed when he saw him and slowly started to walk to where Raimundo was. He saw Raimundo's eyes widen when he got closer. He walked right up to Raimundo, looked down at him and hissed, "You shouldn't have done that." His hand balled up into a fist and punched Raimundo in the face. He fell onto the ground. He then took out a knife and squatted onto the ground.

Selina was watching Chase threaten Raimundo when she saw something in the corner of her eye. She shifted her gaze into the sky and saw Ying Ying coming close to where Omi was. She gave a startled cry and shouted, "Omi watch out!"

Chase was looming over Raimundo with a knife in his hand and was going to bring it down on his shoulder when his gaze drifted to his medallion. He stumbled back, dropped his knife, and his face went pale when he was saw the medallion the Raimundo had around his neck.

Selina had been pointing her finger at Ying Ying when she had shouted out that warning to Omi. She saw Omi slowly turn around. She also saw a little ball of lightning shoot out from her finger and hit Ying Ying.

The old man that had been watching them gasped and his face paled when he saw lightning come out of Selina's fingertip.
