DISCLAMER: I own nothing…
Vehicle Upgrade
"Young dragons, I am sure that you are aware of our vehicle Shengongwu," said Master Fung one morning.
"Yeah, they're awesome!" said Raimundo.
"Today, four new Shengongwu have been activated. They are upgrades for the four vehicles we have, they shall give them combat capabilities," Fung explained.
"Cool, we need to get there before Jack does," said Kimiko.
"Let's go!" Omi shouted, he was feeling better after yesterday.
Meanwhile, in Chase's lair, the evil villain received news from one of his shape shifting warriors.
"So…Guan has died…" whispered Chase.
"Yes master, the words I speak are correct," the warrior added.
"Hehe, I knew that that foolish dragon of fire would fall," said Wuya, walking out of her and Chase's room.
Chase looked into his hands; he had been friends with the master Monk a long time ago. Now he was dead, though they were enemies, Chase did seem sad.
"I bet you don't know who did it," said a voice.
Chase turned to see Hannibal and Yingying standing behind him. Chase almost got his cat warrior to pounce, but he wanted to hear what the vile demon would say.
"What do you want, wretch?" Chase growled.
"I was responsible for the death of the master monk! Do you know why I killed him?" asked Hannibal.
"Because you are twisted and cruel," replied Chase.
"No…I want to resurrect father…" whispered Hannibal.
He faced Wuya.
"You're going to join us, aren't you sis?" he asked.
"I am not a puppet anymore," she snapped.
Hannibal jumped onto his bird, they flew into the sky and left Wuya and Chase alone.
Meanwhile, the Silver Manta Ray flew through the sky, over the ocean. They were finding their first vehicle upgrade.
"This Remora Ray Gun sounds cool. We can use it to give the Silver Manta Ray laser powers!" Kimiko said.
They circled over a spot in the ocean, as they looked down they saw a glint just bellow the surface.
"Pull her down now!" shouted Clay.
The Siler Manta Ray dived into the ocean, it turned on its headlights. They flew over the coral reef, trying to avoid the animal life.
"I have not been under the surface of the ocean before," said their phoenix friend.
"Don't worry, we'll be okay," said Omi.
They approached the Remora Ray Gun; it resembled one of those fish that attach to sharks and rays.
"GLOVE OF JISAKU!"
Clay used the magnet wu to bring the upgrade closer to them, they and the new Shengongwu floated to the surface. When on the surface of the water, the Glove of Jisaku attracted the Remora to them, and into Clay's hands.
"Yeah, let's fix this baby on!" shouted Raimundo.
"Baby? This is a Shengongwu!" said Omi.
Raimundo rolled his eyes as he jumped onto the wing, the Remora Ray Gun had a little sucker atop of its head, like the real fish.
"Right then, where's the next upgrade?" asked Kimiko.
Dojo opened the scroll with his wings.
"The Blurry Fangs are an upgrade for the Crouching Cougar, they enable it to fire beams from its mouth," he read.
They piloted their upgraded silver craft over a forest, they saw the fangs in a tree. The carefully landed and let Omi jump out to retrieve them.
"I've got them!" he shouted.
He jumped back onto the Manta ray, when they got back to they temple they would install the Crouching Cougar with the magical jaws.
"Time to find the next one! I wonder why Jack has not come to steal them," Omi said.
"Maybe it's 'cos he doesn't have the vehicle wu, so they're of little use to him," Raimundo added.
They flew off in the direction of the next vehicle upgrade, the Rocketick.
"The Rocketick is an upgrade for the Shen Ga Roo, it allows it to fire homing missiles," explained Kimiko.
They flew over Ayers Rock in Australia; the upgrade was located somewhere at the base of the large red rock.
"There it is!" shouted Clay, pointing down at the shining object.
"Eww, it's a bit gross," Kimiko said.
It was a large golden tick; its legs looked pretty sharp.
"Hold on to your seats!" Raimundo called.
He flew their mystical aircraft down closer; they were now right next to the mythical upgrade.
"I'll get it," said Kimiko.
She hurriedly climbed out, ready to grab it. She suddenly stumbled backwards; a large dark figure appeared before her.
"Epiales!" shouted Dojo.
"What do you want?" Kimiko asked.
Omi jumped out to help her, both dragons stood to face the demon.
"Me and my brothers have found out that Shengongwu like this can be used to resurrect father," Epiales explained.
Kimiko and Omi got into fighting positions.
"You're not going to leave without a fight!" Omi shouted, sternly.
Epiales chuckled.
"Okay then. Let's make it one of your xiaolin showdowns, I wager my belt," Epiales whispered.
Kimiko and Omi got out two random wu.
"Okay, we'll wager the Switcher-Wu and the Moby Morpher!" Kimiko shouted.
They all touched the Rocketick at the same time.
"First person to collect all the stars scattered around the arena wins!" said Epiales.
"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" shouted all three fighters.
The scenery changed to a star shaped arena, the three fighters were positioned at random places.
"GONG YI TAMPAI!"
Stars suddenly fell from the sky, Omi and Kimiko did a team manoeuvre to jump up and catch two stars. Epiales used little of his effort to quickly nab two stars.
"It's a tie already!" Raimundo exclaimed.
"I hope they can keep it up!" added Clay.
"Have faith in yourselves!" Dojo shouted.
Omi and Kimiko landed, they both spied three stars that were close to them.
"Let's split up!" Kimiko said.
Omi and Kimiko went in opposite directions, but Epiales transformed his horns into tentacles to grab the stars.
"No fair!" Omi exclaimed.
"I'm afraid that the rules of a showdown can let you use any of the powers you have!" laughed Epiales.
Kimiko jumped forwards to get a star.
"We can still win!" she shouted.
"GLARE STARE!"
Epiales shot Kimiko with beams of light from his eyes, she froze in place.
"Oh no! Kimiko!" Omi shouted.
"Don't worry child, she is alright, I only froze her!" chuckled Epiales.
The foul demon grabbed a few more stars, Omi couldn't grab as many as his opponent could.
"No, I've lost…" he whispered.
The landscape returned to normal, Epiales had won the bout. He laughed as he clamed his four prizes.
"More energy!" he laughed, flying off into the sky.
Kimiko returned back to normal, she and Omi walked up to the rest of the hero group.
"That jerk, we'll show him some day!" growled Kimiko.
"A demon against a human is an unfair fight," Dojo said.
Raimundo jumped back into their silver craft.
"Hey, no sweat, we can go and get the next Shengongwu now!" he said.
"That's the fighting spirit!" Clay cheered.
Dojo flew inside with the rest of the Xiaolins.
"The Bullette Basher is an underground torpedo launcher, it is an upgrade for the Tunnel Armadillo," explained the phoenix.
The Silver Manta Ray flew over the clouds to their next destination.
Meanwhile, Jack sat at his desk, weeping.
"Oh Spice! We had so much in common!" he cried, grieving the loss of his virus.
He remembered the happy ten seconds they had together.
"Oh well," he said, cheering up instantly ", I'll start creating my next plan for world domination!"
In Chase's citadel, he and Wuya sat on their bed. Chase held Wuya's hand.
"Whatever happens, you are not a puppet! You shall not be used as Hannibal's tool, even though he is your 'brother'" said Chase.
"I know, but sometimes fate pushes us in directions we do not always want to go," Wuya whispered.
