Wind Versus Wind
"The Siren Shell enables a person to render their target mute and steals their voice," read Omi as he looked at the scroll, a new Shengongwu had been activated.
"Great, perhaps this time we'll get it!" shouted Raimundo.
"We're not gonna let that lily livered Jack Spicer get his grubby mits on the Shengongwu!" added Clay.
Kimiko looked in Omi's direction.
"Omi!" she whispered.
"Yes?" replied the bald headed monk.
"If things get a little ugly, can you turn into the Emerald Knight?" asked the dragon of fire.
Omi looked slightly sad.
"I have a horrible feeling that the Emerald Rank isn't strong enough to defeat the strong enemies. It feels extremely strange when I put it on; I can't explain what it's like when a daemon uses your body like Kaval does to me. Luckily he was just my friend, but Poze was a demon, and he can possess people too," Omi replied.
Raimundo was eager to set off, Clay and Dojo had already climbed aboard the Silver Manta Ray.
"Come in, we have a Siren Shell to win!" shouted the wind master.
They flew over the moors of Scotland, it was extremely windy. Raimundo used his powers of wind to steady the Manta Ray as it flew, helping it land in a safe place. The blustery weather buffeted Kimiko; she was glad that she had chosen to not wear a skirt.
"It should be able to find a shell, it would stand out amongst all this grey," she said.
"Yeah, but what if it got blown away?" said Raimundo.
They looked carefully for the small object, Dojo's feathers and wings suddenly twitched.
"I can sense it just east of here," he said.
They began to walk east, as they approached the hill; they saw Jack's jet hovering over the ground. The evil genius and Le Mime slowly approached the Shengongwu they had just found.
"Too late!" whispered Clay.
Omi leapt down off the hill to combat the two villains, they turned around to face him. Jack folded his arms in frustration while Le Mime created an invisible wall, Omi ran strait into it. Raimundo clenched his fists.
"I'm going in to save him!" he shouted.
He used his Bukujutsu to fly down towards his friend, he stared at his rivals.
"Come on Jack, hand over the wu, we deserve to win it!" shouted Raimundo.
"Not now! I've had a lucky streak, you always get the wu, let me have a chance to catch up!" shouted Jack.
"No way, you're evil!" laughed Raimundo.
Jack screamed.
"Le Mime, get them!" he wailed.
Le Mime skipped up to the two xiaolin warriors, the dragons of wind and water laughed.
"You think we can't beat you? We've found a way to get past your tricks before!" shouted Raimundo.
"Yeah, we can beat you easy!" Omi added.
Le Mime adjusted the beret on his head and pulled up his sleeve.
"But Le Mime's learnt a few more tricks," said Jack.
Le Mime punched thin air, Raimundo felt somebody punch him in the back, but there was nobody there. The bad French clown looked at Omi, without touching the water monk; he slammed him to the ground.
"That no good Mime! He's perfected his skills!" shouted Clay.
Raimundo got himself off the ground, he was laughing quietly.
"What? Do you think it's funny that I'm beating you?" asked Jack.
Le Mime attacked again, Raimundo swiped the air, and grabbed onto an invisible hand.
"If he can create invisible boxes and walls, he can create invisible people. All I need to do now is imagine that this person is weaker than me," said Raimundo.
He picked up and tossed the invisible man at Le Mime, the French clown was knocked over by his own imaginary construct.
"Way to go Rai!" cheered Kimiko.
"Ha, all I need to do now is go Sentaibot!" laughed Jack.
"Uh oh…" gasped Omi.
Before Jack could transform into White, a gust of wind blew the Siren Shell into the sky. It swooped and dived around in the air, trying to annoy Jack.
"What the heck?" he shouted.
"I can control the air!" said a voice.
Raimundo looked around to see where the voice was coming from.
"I can control the wind!"
Jack was picked off his feet by a gust of wind, so was his partner in crime.
"I can control the breeze!"
Jack, Le Mime, and their jet were blown into the sky and disappeared. Raimundo and Omi were left standing, totally dumbstruck by what had just happened. They were still looking to see what had blown the villains away.
"Rai, look out!" Kimiko shouted.
A ball of air blasted Raimundo in the chest, it was like a cannonball. Omi had no time to react; he too was blasted to the ground.
"So, you tried to take my place?" asked the voice.
A small boy wearing a white shirt and navy blue shorts appeared, his brown hair was covered by a small red cap.
"Who are you?" Raimundo asked.
"I am the real chosen one!" screamed the boy.
He attacked Raimundo with a series of air blasts, but now the wind warrior was alert, he dodged the attacks easily.
"What do you mean?" asked Omi.
The wind controlling stranger fired some wind blasts at Omi, Raimundo redirected the blasts with his wind powers. The boy stopped his attacks on the two dragons.
"I'm the dragon of wind!" replied the boy.
"But I'm the dragon of wind!" shouted Raimundo.
The boy laughed.
"You don't get it do you? Didn't your master ever tell you that there were two chosen wind dragons? Only one can become a chosen one, you have, I'm going to defeat you and take your title!" laughed the boy.
Raimundo stood there, shocked.
"Master Fung didn't tell us anything about this!" he whispered.
"What is your name?" Omi asked.
"Tyson, I am an orphan. All my life I've been bullied, that's how I discovered my powers. The pain that I've experienced makes me deserve to be a warrior, so I can stop all the violence. What makes you so special?" questioned Tyson.
"I'm an orphan too, but now I call my friends my family," said Omi.
Tyson grew more enraged.
"You, wind boy, what's your past?" he shouted.
"The name's Raimundo, I don't want to talk about my past, it's why I joined the temple in the first place," said Raimundo.
Tyson laughed.
"Very well then, let me show you the true power of the air; WIND!"
Tyson's move blasted Omi and Raimundo with his powerful element, but it was obvious that Tyson was not even a xiaolin apprentice. Raimundo easily deflected the move back at the other wind warrior.
"You can't defeat me, my power level is higher than yours!" shouted Raimundo.
"Yeah, but I bet I have different moves to you; SUFFOCATE GRIP!" Tyson shouted.
Omi was lifted into the air, he was clutching his neck. It was as if Tyson was suffocating him with an invisible hand.
"What the heck are you doing?" screamed Raimundo.
"Removing the oxygen from his lungs!" laughed Tyson.
They were suddenly startled by an explosion, Tyson let go of the poor water monk. The familiar figure of Poze appeared in front of them. His long tail looked like it was ready to strike, Raimundo kept an eye on it.
"Oh no!" gasped Raimundo.
Poze smiled evilly.
"Which one of you is the wind dragon?" he asked.
Tyson jumped in front of the powerful demon, he stood tall and proud.
"I am!" he shouted.
Poze grabbed hold of the little boy with his tail, Tyson kicked and screamed. Raimundo was about to fight the demon, but Poze flew into the sky before he could.
"No, I can't focus enough to perform Bukujutsu! Dojo, pass me the Bag of Tricks, hopefully the Longlei Kite is in there!" shouted Raimundo.
"I haven't bought it with me!" replied the bird daemon.
"You don't need wings to fly," said a voice.
Raimundo turned around to see another knight, this time it was a silvery white colour, and looked very similar to Emerald Knight.
"Hey, another knight!" shouted Clay.
The two other warriors came down to join Omi and Raimundo.
"Raimundo," said the knight ", I am Jeran, the Diamond Knight. You are destined to become my host, for my current host is only a butterfly. I had to posses it in order to come to you, now you must wear the Tatsu Diamond Rank, it is your destiny!"
Raimundo smiled, Omi looked at him and smiled back.
"Come on Raimundo, being a knight is a great feeling!" shouted the bald monk.
Raimundo nodded.
"Yes; give me your helmet," he said.
The diamond knight disappeared into a flash of white light, leaving a helmet. The small white butterfly that he had possessed flew into the sky. Raimundo picked up the helmet of Jeran and put it on, instantly transforming into the Diamond Knight.
"Raimundo's body is good…" said Jeran.
He flew into the sky to chase after Poze. The evil being was still carrying Tyson, who was still screaming. Poze had caught sight of the Diamond Knight heading his way.
"What? Impossible!" shouted the demon.
He dropped Tyson, sending him plummeting through the air. Jeran rescued the screaming boy.
"Next time, kidnap the real wind dragon!" laughed Jeran.
"Fools, next time you won't be so lucky…" growled Poze as he disappeared.
Diamond Knight landed next to the others, putting down Tyson. The boy looked at the silvery knight with envious eyes. Jeran transformed back into Raimundo, who looked very pale and weak after using the powers of the brave knight.
"I don't need to be with you, you're all losers!" shouted Tyson.
"Wait, we might need someone like you on our side!" shouted Kimiko.
It was too late; the wind manipulator had flown into the sky, dropping tears as he went.
"As soon as we get back, I must ask master Fung about all of these things that have been happening," said Raimundo, picking up the Siren Shell.
Tyson sat miserably at a harbour, if nobody understood him; there was no point in being with anyone at all. This was exactly like it was at the orphanage, lonely. Even his powers didn't bring happiness; flying in a world of misery wasn't an enjoyable thing. A boy came and sat down beside him, Tyson turned his head in the direction of the smartly dressed boy.
"Go away, I want to be alone," whispered Tyson.
"You look sad, let's be friends. My names Tristan…"
