'It's like a never-ending nightmare, only I'm awake. I cant find anyone'!!!

'The day had started out so beautiful, only to be turned into a nightmare from hell itself'. Kimiko thought as Katnappe slammed her into the ground. "Poor Kimiko, can't do nothing without her Boys to back her up," Katnappe said as she rammed her claws into Kimikos shoulder. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!" Kimiko screamed as she felt the claws go deep into her skin. "You are a worthless spoiled brat without the help of the others aren't you Kimiko" Katnappe sneered as she pulled her claws out of Kimikos shoulder. Just as she pulled her claws out, Kimiko landed the cat freak with a kick to the stomach. Katnappe hit the ground hard as she rolled away from Kimiko.

"You little witch!" Katnappe snarled, as she stood up. "I'm going to skin you alive so bad, that no one well recognize you when I'm done."

"Takes more than some big hairball to take me down!!" As the Katnappe launched herself at her victim, the young Japanese girl planted one hand beneath her and lashed out with a hard kick to Katnappe's head.

"Rrrow! Katnappe screamed as she clutched her bleeding skull. "You think you can defeat me" Katnappe screamed as she lunged herself at Kimiko with claws extended. "I'm more than capable of dealing with you!" Katnappe sent a wave of double slashing at Kimiko, but in missing completely, she left herself totally open.

"Deal with this," Kimiko said, "Judolei Kick FIRE!"

With a cry of pain, Katnappe was sent sailing backwards into a tree near by. Sliding to the ground, the cat-fighter didn't try to get back up on her feat again.

Seeing that Katnappe wasn't about to get back up anytime soon, Kimiko let out a small breath of relief. 'This is way insane!' Kimiko told herself as she went to find the others. 'When Master Fung said this was to be our greatest battle... I never expected this!' Kimiko thought as she climbed over the rubble of the battlefield.

I've got to find the others! Kimiko thought as she climbed over a fallen scared tree.

All around the charred field, Kimiko searched desperately for her friends. Then to her relief, she spotted them, locking horns with the Haylin forces. Clay and Raimundo were traded off foes with each other. They were trying desperately to keep the Chase's stone warriors at bay. Jack Spicer hovered over everyone with the Monkey staff clutched hard in his bleeding hands, directing his horde of Jackbots around, who were engaging battle with Hannibal Roy Bean.

With Hannibal Roy Bean, and Chases stone warriors out of the way, this left Omi to face down Chase himself. Chase Young and Omi were equally matched for the time being. Both were using what Shen Gong Wu they had with desperate attempts, which, in the mist of battle, had started a lightning storm around them.

'Everyone seems to be doing OK! Kimiko thought. But I don't see that no good Wu-!

Suddenly, Wuya appeared out of the lightning storm being feed by Omi and Chase's clash of wills. Bursting into the clear, Wuyas fingers were curled around a large ball of energy, as she gave off a wicked grin... right at Kimiko surprised figure!

"Goodbye Dragon of Fire!" the Haylin witch screamed, as she pulled back her hand and launched the blast towards the helpless Kimiko.

Wide-eyed, Kimiko heard her mind scream for her to move, only to realize in a split second that it would be too late. Staring down at deaths grinning face face, Kimiko mind flashed quickly through her memories of her family. Master Fung, Dojo, Rai, Omi…. Clay!

"Kimiko! NO!"

None other than Clay had let out the scream that could be heard all across the wide battlefield. Clay had smash two of Chase's stone tiger's aside like they were nothing as he charged across the battlefield.

"Clay? What are you doing"?

With a burst of speed and strength, Clay pushed himself and Kimiko out of Wuya's range of blast.

As they hit the ground, Kimiko gasped from the pain on her side. "Ow!"

"Are you alright Kimiko?" Clay asked as he picked the young girl up. Tears fell from Kimikos eyes as she leaned against Clays chest and cried. "Oh Clay I was so scared" Kimiko cried as Clay wrapped his arms around the young girl. "Its OK Kimiko, your alright, that witch wont hurt you while I'm aground" Clay said as he smiled down at the small crying figure.

"Oh really?" Wuyas said as a Dark green and red ball of energy formed in her palm. "Try and protect her from this!" Wuya yelled at Clay. "You both can just DIE together!" With that, she aimed and shot the ball of energy straight at the two Dragon warriors!

Clays eyes grew wide as saucers. He pushed Kimiko to the side and prepared for Wuyas blow to hit as he closed his eyes. After a few seconds, Clay opened his eyes, only to witness the horrible event in front of him. 'Kimiko…NO!' Clays mind screamed asKimiko jumped in front of the blast meant for him.

Kimiko. The girl that could start a fire in anyone's heart. A girl who cared for everyone's well being, but her own. A girl who never gave up

In a matter of seconds, before Clays horrified eyes, all three of these had failed to save the young Japanese girl from Wuya's power! Blinded by a flash as bright as a supernova, he was barely able to see Kimikos small body as it sailed backwards, but he couldn't miss the cry of pain that range loudly in his ears; the cry that had been wrenched from Kimiko's throat that died just as quickly as it existed.

There was a sickening thud... and, when Clay could see clearly now, he saw the beautiful and proud young Dragon of Fire lying broken and bleeding on the ground in front of him.

"Kimiko...?" Unable to process what had happened, Clay completely forgot about the battle around him, as he numbly stumbling towards his fallen friend's body. "No... No, no, NO! KIMIKO!" Clay screamed as he fell to his knees beside her. Clay reached for her hand, his eyes filling with tears as Kimiko smiled weakly up at him. "Kimiko…why? Why in tar nations did you do that? The blast was meant for me not you!" Clay said as he took off his hat and let his tears fall on her. Kimiko weekly lifted her hand and wiped the tears out of his eyes. "Don't cry cowboy. If it wasn't for me you'd be the one laying here as broken up" Kimiko said, "Besides, I couldn't bare to see you get hurt because of me," Kimiko whispered as she passed out in Clays arms

"Oh no Kimiko!" Clay looked tearfully at Kimikos. "Kimiko come-on girl, wakeup" Clay cried as he hugged her unconscious Form. "DOJO! Where are you, I need your help!" Clay yelled as he picked up Kimikos fallen form.

"And just were do you think your going?" the hated voice of Wuya screamed. Wuya had been knocked into a pile of rubble by the blast. "I've still got to rid myself of yo.." but before Wuya could Finish her sentence, she was sent flying straight into a rock and knocked unconscious by class kick to her head. "That's for Kimiko" Clay coldly said as he walked away from the Haylin witches fallen form over to Dojo, who was slithering over to him.

Even in the midst of the battle, the ancient dragon was able to make his way through the fighting to slip up alongside the young Earth dragon. "Hey, hey, Clay! What are you doing? You can't just stand still with-ah-hah-yeeeeeOW!" Dojo's face went pale when he looked at Kimikos battered form. "What happened to-?"

"There's no time to explained Dojo!" Clay snapped, cutting Dojo off. "We've got to get her away from here to safety!"

Dojo stared hard at the young Texans hardened face. "B-but, the battle's not over yet! We're going to need your help to defeat Chase!"

"Who said I was leaving" Clay said in a voice that could make even the strongest of men cry. A moan from the fallen Fire Dragon beside them brought both Dojo and Clays attention back into focus.

"If we don't act now, we'll lose her!" Clay said firmly. "I need you to get her at least out of the battlefield!"

Dojo quickly looked around, before he said, "I'd be a sitting duck if I went in my big mood right now!" Suddenly, Clay began to form a wall of stone around them. Clay stared down at the small dragon. Well what are you waiting for, hurry up Dojo!" Clay said as Dojo transformed. Clay placed Kimiko on Dojo's back and kissed her forehead. "Go on Dojo, ill cover you" Clay said as he gave Kimikos fallen form one last glance before he ran around the wall to fight back the approaching stone warriors.

Dojo did as Clay commanded and began to fly away from the battlefield. Clay watched as Dojo flew away with Kimikos fallen form. "Don't worry Kimmy, ill come to you as soon as I can. I promise." With these words ringing loudly in his heart, Clay launched himself back into battle.
