Black Sapphire Vipers
"Great! Another Shengongwu has been detected!" shouted Raimundo.
"Maybe this one will be a less sinister," added Kimiko.
The crew ran to their master, Fung had already opened the scroll and was seeing what the new item was.
"The Blessings of Hagfish is a small talisman, it gives the user slimy skin, like that of the jawless fish," explained their master.
Kimiko cringed.
"Yuck! I saw Hagfish being accidentally fished up at the fish market, they gave me nightmares!" she said.
Raimundo patted her on the back.
"Hey, don't worry, you don't need to use it," he said.
Clay looked into space while licking his lips.
"Are they edible?" he asked.
It wasn't long before they landed in Texas, the location of the new Wu.
"It's strange that an item themed on an aquatic creature is here, a place devoid of water with the smell of coyotes," Raimundo said as they all hopped out of the Silver Manta Ray, surveying the area.
They surveyed some more, until they saw a dust cloud heading towards them.
"Hey, what is that?" asked Omi, pointing the direction of the cloud.
Kimiko looked closer at the cloud.
"A dust storm maybe?" she said.
Clay grinned.
"I think I have a good idea what it might be," he said.
The storm came closer, but it cleared. They saw the familiar shape of a motorbike coming towards them; they recognised who it was immediately.
"Jessie!" Omi shouted.
"I knew I'd find you here, sis," said Clay.
They noticed that her bike was now blue and black, and she had a worried look on her face.
"Come quick guys, I need your help! I'll explain on the way!" she panted.
Raimundo nodded.
"CROUCHING COUGAR!"
They rode across the desert on their robot, beside Jessie.
"So, what's been happening?" Clay asked.
"The Puff Adders, a new biker gang, are making a riot! We need your help to stop them terrifying everyone!" replied his sister.
"What about the rest of your gang?" questioned Kimiko.
"The girls are in hospital, the Puff Adders are an all boy band of thugs! I saw your flying machine, if you didn't come I would have given up hope," Jessie explained.
Omi thought hard.
"What about the Wings of Tinabi?" he asked.
"I'm afraid I lost them to Gaboon, leader of the gang," replied Jessie.
Clay growled loudly.
"Those no good rats! Didn't their parents ever tell them that hitting a girl is wrong?" he said.
"Obviously not," added Raimundo.
They continued through the desert, until they came to a farm near a large corn field. There was the sound of whooping and shouting.
"The Puff Adders must be here!" Jessie shouted.
They drove up to the farm and stopped, the Crouching Cougar was deactivated as Jessie jumped off her bike. The six of them crept around the corner; Jessie saw the group of four boys tormenting an elderly farmer.
"Come on old man, give us your eggs," snapped Gaboon, a man in a black leather jacket and with long brown hair.
The other three Puff Adders looked similar; they wore helmets that concealed their faces.
"Man, those guys are mean," whispered Kimiko.
"Let's get them together!" whispered Clay.
All six of them jumped out at once, startling the Puff Adders slightly.
"Who are these weirdoes?" asked one of the Adders.
Gaboon laughed loudly.
"Back for some more, little girl? I see you've bought some of your little friends with you," he said.
Omi stepped forwards.
"You leave these poor people alone! I am Omi, the great water warrior!" he yelled.
"Sick 'em boys," whispered Gaboon.
His three comrades hopped on their super red motorcycles, they rode around the pack of heroes like sharks swimming around a diver's cage.
"Your metal steeds are no match for us!" Omi shouted.
One of the Puff Adders came closer, Kimiko yelled as the Bag of Tricks was taken from her.
"Oh no! That had all our wu in there!" Raimundo gasped.
The three riders got out pistols.
"Come get it back, if you don't mind being filled with lead," sniggered Gaboon.
"Hehe, dance cue ball, dance!" laughed one of the riders.
He shot a bullet at Omi's feet, the terrified warrior leapt into the air. He shot another one, Omi avoided it once more. The third bullet was deflected by Omi's staff; it was reflected back at one of the Adder's wheels. His tire was punctured; he tipped over and rolled on the floor.
"Shoot!" growled the fallen rider.
The farmer saw the opportunity to run away, Gaboon didn't notice.
"Take this!" shouted another Adder.
Raimundo was hit hard with a crowbar, injuring his arm. Before the same rider could hit him in the head, Clay stepped in the way.
"SEISMIC KICK!"
Clay created a rock spire by slamming his foot on the ground; it tossed the rider into the air and destroyed his bike.
"Dude, you trashed my wheels!" he fumed.
"Nobody messes with the Black Vipers and gets away with it!" Clay shouted.
Jessie smiled.
"Thanks Clay, but we call our gang the Black Sapphire Vipers now," she said.
"Hog Nose, Pit, climb aboard," shouted the remaining rider.
The two fallen riders jumped onto his bike, Gaboon got onto his own bike, and it was more of a tank than a motorbike.
"Let's take this into the desert!" shouted Gaboon.
They got onto the Crouching Cougar while Jessie got on her bike. They chased after the Pit Vipers two remaining bikes through the desert, until they got to a grove of cacti.
"Take this!" shouted one of the members.
He threw a smoke grenade; the six heroes were left in the smoke.
"What horrid technology," Dojo coughed.
"We'll have to fight blind!" said Clay.
All they could hear was the haunting laughter of Gaboon.
"You losers don't stand a chance," he chuckled.
Raimundo grinned.
"Oh yeah? WUDAI STAR WIND!"
He used his Wudai power to blow the smoke away; the air was now crystal clear.
"What in tar nation?" gasped Gaboon.
Before he could react, he received a lightning fast kick from Omi. He collapsed on the ground briefly.
"Nice work Omi," commented Raimundo.
Gaboon grunted as he got to his feet.
"Time to play hide and seek!" he laughed.
He jumped onto his bike, he pressed a button. This revealed panels that opened up into three machine guns, the six heroes gasped.
"Look out!" screamed Kimiko.
They all jumped behind Cacti to avoid the bullets, Jessie and Kimiko jumped behind the same one.
"That was close…" panted Jessie.
"Jessie, do you have any more plans?" questioned Kimiko.
"I have one good one," smiled Jessie.
Clay's sister got out from her hiding place, Gaboon spotted her immediately. Jessie raised her hand.
"Wait. Before you shoot, let me put on my safety helmet," she said.
"Sure, but that won't stop the bullets," chuckled Gaboon.
Jessie placed the helmet on her head, evoking its mystical energy. Gaboon gasped as he saw her take shape of the Sapphire Knight, holding her great lance.
"That isn't anything!" he growled, firing a salvo of bullets at the female Knight.
Shikura sliced the air with her lance, sending a shockwave towards Gaboon. It destroyed his bullets, and his bike.
"No! No fair!" he gasped, lying on the ground.
The three other Puff Adders saw their leader had fallen, they bowed down to the knight.
"Please! Spare us!" they cried.
A few minutes later, the police arrived. Kimiko had taken the liberty of calling the police herself, now all the Adders were going to jail.
"Oh Gaboon, before you go, can I have my wings back?" asked Jessie.
Gaboon growled as he handed the Wings of Tinabi back to Jessie.
"Oh, and the bag," she added.
Gaboon handed her the Bag of Tricks as well, before he was taken into the back of the police vehicle.
"Better get back to finding the wu before Jack does," said Clay.
They looked up into the sky, Jack's jet flew over them. In the sky it wrote 'See ya suckers, the wu is mine!' with many spelling mistakes.
"Too late," moaned Omi.
"Oh well, we'd much prefer to save my sis than get a slimy Shengongwu any day," laughed Clay.
