Hey, guys! Sorry again for the long time it took to update. I have so much to do! I take my drivers test on Saturday, so I've been doing nothing but driving for the past few weeks, plus there was Thanksgiving and my cousin's baptism. It took so long to write this chapter, but it's exciting, so I hope you like it! Enjoy! Only a few more chapters left!

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown. But I do own Leonardo and Josefina, so no stealing.

"The Portugese Circus?" Omi asked.

"I've heard about you," Kimiko said. "You have one of the the best shows in the east!"

"That we have," Leonardo said. "Though it's not as big a hit with you gone, Raimundo."

Raimundo grimaced and unconsciously rubbed his wrists. "Leonardo, these are my Temple friends. Guys, this is Leonardo, the Ringmaster of the Portugese Circus," Raimundo introduced.

"Nice to meet all of you," Leonardo said. "So, Raimundo, have you decided to come back? Is that why you are here?"

Rai shook his head. "Actually, I'm looking for my medallion. A little girl named Josefina said she sold it you," he said.

Leonardo's smile vanished instantly. "The medallion?"

"Yeah, the one that you stole," Rai said.

"More like the one that you stole!" Leonardo accused.

"I only took it because it's rightfully mine!" Raimundo yelled.

"Says who?" Leonardo spat.

"Says my mom! Now give it back you worthless pile of dung da vaca!" Rai screamed.

"What did you call me?" Leonardo asked dangerously.

"You heard me," Rai said. "Now give it back!"

"Oh, you want me to give you your medallion back?" Leonardo asked, pulling the said object from his pocket. "Well, you'll have to make me!"

"That will be fairly easy," Raimundo said. "Wind!" with a flash, he was in his Warrior outfit.

Leonardo looked at him; and laughed. "What are you? Some sort of monk?"

Raimundo's eyes narrowed. With amazing speed, he flew at Leonardo. Having no idea that it was coming, Leonardo had no chance to protect the medallion. Raimundo was a few feet away from him a minute later, the medallion in his hand and a smirk on his face.

"What?" Leonardo raged. "That belongs to me!"

"It never did and it never will!" Raimundo said. "Dojo, can we go?"

"Right," Dojo said, and grew. Leonardo watched with awe as it happened.

"Hey, how would you like to join the Portugese Circus?" he asked the dragon.

"No chance," Raimundo said, climbing on. Dojo took off, leaving the Portugese Circus behind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group landed at the Temple few hours later. Raimundo hopped off and went strait to his cubicle. The others stayed put.

"Something's wrong with Raimundo," Omi said.

"You got that right," Clay said.

"So, what should we do?" Kimiko asked.

"I think that the Rio streets were his home for a little while. That is, before he lived at the Circus," Dojo said.

"The streets?" Omi asked.

"Uh oh," Dojo said. "I said to much."

"It would make sense to why all of the children knew him," Clay said. "But I don't see why they would be afraid of him."

"What was with all the Portugese talking too?" Kimiko asked. "I mean, when I go home, I still talk in English. When Raimundo goes home, he uses a lot of Portugese. Why?"

"I know one way to find out," Omi said.

"Omi, no," Dojo said. "That's against the rules."

Kimiko and Clay looked at one another. They smiled and Clay got out his rope.

"What are you doing?" Dojo asked, backing away as Clay came closer. "I don't think that Master-"

A few minutes later, Dojo had been bound and gagged. Clay gently took him behind a bush, leaving him there.

"Alright, Omi," Kimiko said. "You may do the honors."

"Right," Omi said. He led the way down to the Shen Gong Wu vault. There, he picked up the Reversing Mirror and the Eye of Dashi.

"What are we going to do?" Clay asked.

"We are going to look deep into Raimundo's past," Omi said. "If he will not tell us, then we will have to find out for ourselves."

"Omi, I don't know if this is such a good idea," Kimiko said.

"Sure it is," Omi said. "Now, here is what we wil do..."

The next day, Clay, Kimiko, and Omi approached Raimundo in his cubicle. He looked up, his medallion back on neck.

"Hey, guys," Raimundo said. "I wanted to say I'm sorry about yesterday. Clay, I never should have hit you and I'm sorry. I'm also sorry that I blew up at you. It was wrong and I guess I was just... over the edge. Thanks for helping me get my medallion back."

The group just stood there. They had never expected him to apologize.

"Do you know where Dojo is? I wanted to apologize to him as well," Raimundo asked. He got up from his bed, and that's when everything went downhill.

Kimiko and Clay grabbed Raimundo by the arms, holding him still.

"What are you doing?" he asked, struggling to get away.

Omi brought out the Eye of Dashi and the Reversing Mirror. Raimundo's eyes widened and he struggled harder.

"Settle down, Raimundo," Omi said. "This will not hurt."

"If you do this, you'll-"

"Eye of Dashi and Reversing Mirror," Omi yelled, pointing the two Shen Gon Wu at Raimundo. The beams hit him straight on. He was surrounded by a pink light, and then fell limp in Clay and Kimiko's arms. His eyes closed.

A pink portal appeared a few feet away from Raimundo. Omi put down the Wu and Clay and Kimiko gently laid down Raimundo in his bed.

"Are you ready?" Omi asked.

"Ready as a bull in a pen," Clay said.

The three friends took one big breath and stepped into the past.
