Tapestry of Time
"A new Shengongwu has been activated!" their phoenix friend announced.
Kimiko was the first to get to the scroll; she opened it up and read out loud.
"The Tapestry of Time is another Wu involved in time travel, except you can only travel back in time as your mind. You can witness events but not actually interfere in anything. I think Dashi must've made this after he made the Sands of Time, trying to create a safer way to time travel," Kimiko said.
"I do not want to remember the horrible alternate reality I created when trying to make Chase Young a good man!" Omi added.
They headed outside to activate the Silver Manta Ray. Master Fung managed to catch up with them before they left.
"Now more interesting Shengongwu are being activated, I suggest that when you get back you must learn how to cope with these new powers. Soon, one of you shall become another Shoku warrior," Fung explained.
"Don't worry, as soon as we get back we'll train like we've never trained before!" Raimundo smiled.
"Such confusing new slang…I think I may practice later," Omi thought.
They all hopped into the manta, it flew into the air and was off like a speeding bullet. The tapestry was located in Saudi Arabia, they soon reached their destination. Finding a nice quiet spot, they jumped out of the ship as it reverted back to its compact form.
"So, where is the new wu?" asked Clay.
Dojo ran ahead on his little chicken feet. He looked around the corner.
"This way, warriors," he whispered.
They came to a stall that was selling carpets; the Tapestry of Time was inside the mess of mats.
"Dude, how are we gonna find it now?" Raimundo moaned.
Dojo pointed to the top of the pile with his beak.
"It is on top of these," he said.
"Omi, do you think you can get up there?" Kimiko questioned her bald monk companion.
Omi grabbed onto the tower of carpets.
"I can do anything!" he replied.
He slowly climbed the tower; he was about half way there to reaching the newly activated mystical carpet.
"Are you alright?" Kimiko called.
"Never better! I have retrieved the wu, Homers!" Omi grinned.
He jumped off the pile of carpets. The slight vibrations of his jump caused the tower of mats to shake, eventually, it toppled to the ground, turning a lot of heads. Clay hid the Tapestry of Time in the Bag of Tricks before any of the shoppers noticed.
"Quick, let's make our escape!" Raimundo whispered.
They quietly headed back to the spot they had been, to their surprise, they saw a sight they didn't want to see.
"King?" Kimiko spluttered.
"No…not King…Raphalt!" Omi shouted.
The vile boy walked forwards, he held out his hands.
"Looks like you've beaten me to it, looks like I'll have to take it by force, unless you kindly hand it to me," he said in a non threatening tone.
The four Xiaolin dragons and their daemon got into their fighting positions.
"Not over our frosty deceased bodies!" Omi shouted.
"Dude, don't say that!" Raimundo whispered.
As Raphalt walked over to them, there was the sound of a jet plane above. All six of them looked up; it was Jack in his jet.
"Nobody leaves until I've got the wu!" he exclaimed, jumping from his craft and morphing into his white robotic form.
Raphalt laughed loudly.
"I guess I can destroy you first!" he hissed, licking his lips.
He ran forwards and punched Sentaibot White, but his hand was repelled by Jack's mechanical armour.
"That tickled," sniggered Jack.
Raphalt clutched his injured fist.
"So, you use the powers of human technology to aid you, how pathetic," he growled.
Jack extended his retractable Dashi Blade.
"Demon, mutant, whatever you are. You are a threat to this world, the world I wanna take over!" Jack said.
Jack then noticed the Wu, he grinned.
"That's mine!" he shouted.
"Wrong," added Raphalt.
"It's ours!" they all said.
Three people in total were touching the Wu, Raimundo, Jack and Raphalt.
"Well, looks like we have a showdown!" Raimundo said.
"Humph, I have no time! So then, what will the game be?" Raphalt asked.
Raimundo thought of a challenging game.
"It'll be a race across the flying carpets! First person to land on the carpet with the Bag of Tricks wins!" he said.
Kimiko quickly came up behind him.
"Rai, are you sure you know what you're doing? That's a lot of Wu inside that bag!" she whispered.
"No sweat!" grinned Raimundo.
Jack thought of the Wu they could wager.
"My Sphere of Gaea, Raphalt's Switcher-Wu and Raimundo's Two Ton Tunic!" Jack shouted.
The scenery changed to above the clouds, there was a long way to fall if you did. Lots of magic carpets filled the air, the three challengers started off on a large one.
"GONG YI TAMPAI!"
They all jumped to the next carpets, Jack pulled out his Shengongwu.
"SPHERE OF GAEA!"
A large wave of mud busted out from the mystical object, Raimundo saw that the blast was heading directly for him.
"TWO TON TUNIC!"
His mystic armour protected him, but it made the carpet he was standing on sink.
"Ha-ha, looks like you're too heavy!" Jack sneered as he jumped ahead.
Jack almost caught up with Raphalt, before he could do so, he hear an angry Raimundo flying towards him.
"ONE EYED WIND!"
Raimundo's homing blast headed directly for the boy genius.
"MAGMA FIST!"
Jack used his Sentaibot power to smash the ball of air with his glowing fist. Jack gasped when he saw that Raimundo's attack was only a distraction.
"Eat my dust!" Rai shouted as he flew forwards.
Jack kicked up the speed.
"Oh no you don't; GOLD BEAM!"
Jack fired his laser from his finger, knocking Raimundo out of the sky. Raimundo knew that he would lose the showdown, but did the best he could to make sure that Jack couldn't get there.
"PULSAR LIGHT!"
His light power flashed brightly, Jack was startled and he fell along with Raimundo. The showdown was over.
"Yes! I guess this is a tie, me and Jack both fell!" Raimundo shouted.
"RAI YOU IDIOT! Have you forgotten about the third competitor?" Kimiko screamed.
Raimundo and Jack turned their heads to see Raphalt with all the items they were wagering, along with the Bag of Tricks, containing the Xiaolins many useful items.
"Victory goes to me; these Shengongwu will donate all of their life force to resurrect our master!" Raphalt smiled, evilly.
He became his comet form and flew off into the sky.
"I have a backup plan!" Raimundo sniggered.
He got out the Tatsu Diamond Rank.
"Way to go Raimundo! That is using your butt!" Omi exclaimed.
Raphalt flew over the clouds; he was satisfied with his victory over the two pathetic humans.
"Stop right there if you know what is good for you!" boomed a courageous voice.
Raphalt turned his comet head around, he saw the brave Diamond Knight rushing towards him.
"Foolish Knight, do you think I'm scared by your pathetic effort at being a hero?" Raphalt asked.
Jeran's back opened up, two swords popped out. The knight pulled out his two swords and pointed them at the vile assistant of Hannibal.
"Prepare to fight!" he said sternly.
Raphalt assumed his boy form; he rushed at Jeran and immediately began to charge up his laser.
"Prepare to die!" laughed the demonic boy.
Jeran put his swords into his back, they transformed into a pair of gattling guns. Raphalt's eyes widened as he was shot, dropping two of the Wu. It was the Bag of Tricks and the Two Ton Tunic.
"I'll be taking those!" laughed Jeran as he grabbed them in midair.
As Raphalt saw the Diamond Knight return to the ground, he shrugged the damage off.
"That foolish daemon, he does not know the wrath of Sezeros!" he chuckled, before flying off.
Back at the temple, the monks celebrated the new victory.
"That was great, how about we do some training?" Raimundo asked.
"That'll be swollen!" Omi replied.
The three dragons walked off, leaving Kimiko behind.
"Come on Kimiko; let's go get some training done!" Clay called.
"No thanks guys, I'll give this new tapestry a spin…" said Kimiko.
