Okay, this is a pretty important chapter, and it'll lead up to a huge conclusion, so please R&R.

Chapter Six

Raimundo's Point of View

It has been several weeks since Kimiko's showdown, and she took a speedy recovery from her injuries. She was now, even though still bandaged, sparring with us. Yes, I was trying to sort of flirt with her on Dojo, but I didn't know if it worked at all. She was so beautiful, even scratched up and a little blood leaking here and there. Her pale skin was a direct contrast to her rosy cheeks, and her eyes were, as usual, where I always stare if I needed to do something.

Master Fung, making his appearance, said, "Young warriors, it is time for one of the most important parts of your training – the Wudai Chi Configuration." We all stared at Master Fung with interest as he resumed: "With no physical action, each of you must find it in yourself to release your own chi into a physical substance."

With that, he asked Clay to retrieve the Yin and Yang Yo-Yo from the Shen Gong Wu vault. Once he came back, he conjured them together and asked us to enter.

Once Master Fung, Dojo, Omi, Kimiko, Clay and I entered the portal, we became red, and as we passed through clouds, we became black with white outlining. After we walked for several minutes, and we came up to a tiled area. We stood there for about two seconds, and I was about to ask what we were doing, but then, at our sides, two mile-long shelves burst from the ground – clouds – whatever we were standing on.

After such a long period of silence, Master Fung finally spoke, and it kinda gave me a start. "Young warriors, each of you has two different types of chi – one positive, and one negative. Omi's positive chi contains the essence of Honor, Kimiko of Benevolence, Raimundo of Audacity, and Clay of Fidelity. When the time is right, each of you shall be ready to use that chi for power – Omi will glow blue, Kimiko red, Raimundo green, and Clay yellow." Master Fung went to the shelves on the right and handed us our representative chi, and the solutions were the respective colors that he had said. Then, he headed to the left shelf, looked for a little while, and picked out four black solutions. "When your negative chi comes out into form, all of you will glow black, for that is how your representative qualities are – black." Omi said, "I am sure that I have absolutely no negative chi for I am perfect!"

Master Fung raised an eyebrow and stated, "That is right Omi. Your negative chi is Vanity." Omi looked very embarrassed. Master Fung carried on: "Raimundo is Arrogance, Kimiko Wrath, and Clay Susceptibility. These are the types of chi that will cause chaos." I thought about it, and he was right. After all, I was the rebel who went to the Heylin side that once. Omi is a total show-off, Kimiko is easily agitated no matter what, and Clay was way too gullible, and constantly gets in trouble because of it.

Master Fung began to speak again. "Just as your negative chi can mix with each other, your positive chi can synthesize to create powerful and unique combinations." Here, I listened intently and asked, "What colors do they make?" Master Fung pensively responded, "There are three colors they can become, but that depends on your chemistry with that person: a vermillion for alliance, white for friendship, and a flush of deep crimson-violet for bottomless affection." I took a quick glance at Kimiko. If she had the same feelings that I had for her, then we could destroy evil altogether. "But," Master Fung interrupted my reverie, "the power of the combination still varies. You will find it in yourselves to create them."

I questioned, "When will we attain these powers?"

Master Fung closed his eyes and said, "They will come to you when it is your time." He then held up the Ying and Yang Yo-Yo, and we all returned to our regular cosmos.

Kimiko's Point of View

After a while of resting after losing energy in the Ying Yang World, Rai, Omi, Clay and I went out to work out in the sunset sky. Omi over-determined as he was, declared, "I will not stop until I can master my positive chi!" He closed his eyes and meditated on his head for a while. He opened his eyes and whimpered with slight annoyance, "This is sitting on my nervous system." I rolled my eyes and retorted, "I think you mean, 'This is getting on my nerves.'" Omi pointed up (well, technically down) and called, "That too! Well, to fulfill my need for nobility, I must work diligently!" Within a flash, he glowed a cerulean shade, and then the glow's color extended in his had, shaping into a rope-shape. Omi lashed it onto the ground, and the color spread like paint on a piece of paper, and plainly drowned us in a spiritual light. When Rai, Clay and I recovered from the ersatz drowning, Omi, beaming widely, exclaimed, "I am most pleased!"

Rai and I gave him a fake smile, and looked down. Clay smiled sincerely and broke the short silence: "Cheer up, fellers. If we're unable to do the Wudai Chi Configuration thing, then dang it, we're gonna be unable to do it together."

We perked up, and then breathed in as we noticed he was shimmering a bright yellow, and as he stared at his palms – I don't know why people do that; they always put it in movies – and the bright yellow tinted deeper on his hands and, as if he knew he was doing, he chopped the ground, creating a deep, traveling crack in the ground, shining gold of course, arrived at the position Rai and I were at, and the gleaming flared upward and, as if a huge force was pushing down on us, thrust us to the ground, keeping us there until the glowing receded. Clay, like Omi, was smiling excitedly, glanced in our direction, and immediately gave a pitiful appearance and smiled slightly pathetically, "Well, at least you have each other…?"

Looking at each other, Rai and I sighed, said "goodnight", and headed off to our own dormitories.

Rai: I don't get my Wudai Chi power?

Kim: Me neither? What's that about?

Me: You'll get yours later, so be PATIENT.

Clay: Well, at least you described Omi correctly.

Omi: Twigs and rocks, Clay – Twigs and rocks.

Me: (sigh) R&R.
