At the Xiaolin Temple's Training Grounds
Armina's POV
When I first came to the Xiaolin Temple, I was quite surprised by its many hidden rooms, and labyrinths. One could easy get lost if no one was paying attention. The temple also had many training grounds as well, which is where we were at the moment. Master Fung wanted us to try and practice mastering our elements. Clay was doing his exercise right that moment, Rai was his guinea pig in the ravine below him walking through it. The rocks to the left side of Clay tumbled down towards Rai, the Latino shouted.
"Clay; anytime now, cowboy!"
"Seismic Kick Earth!" Clay called out as he kicked into the ground beneath him causing a rock to slide sideways into the ravine. Rai came flying out of the canyon, a rock spire was the cause of his flight, Rai shrieked as he flew into the sky.
"Go Clay!" Kimiko said from the sidelines, next to me.
"Nice one, Cowboy" I complimented the earth dragon who blushed.
"Most impressive" Omi finished for us as Clay walked over to us.
"You show an excellent master of your Xiaolin element" Master Fung praised. "It appears your promotion to apprentice was well deserved."
"Thank you kindly" Clay replied, tipping his hat. Raimundo finally came towards the ground; he used his wind element to float to us.
"Dude, surely you couldn't cut it any closer" he growled at Clay.
"Raimundo" Master Fung said. "It is time to test your wind element."
This got Rai to grin, he put his fingers together and cracked his knuckles, I winced at the sound.
"Your task is to float a teammate safely onto the cool stone in the middle of the hot coal pit" Master Fung explained turning to the lava pit beside us to the left.
"Okay, so who wants to fly?" Rai asked, Clay stepped away from him, while Omi and Kimiko used that excuse to hide behind Master Fung.
"I'll be your partner unlike some other Dragons In-Training" I said to my friend walking up him, I gave Clay, Kimiko and Omi all scolding looks which got them to nervously smile.
"We mean no disrespect Raimundo, but it is a pit of hot coals, we merely do not want to get burned
Omi pointed out, the Dragon of Water, gave a peep as I sent him a death look to shut him up.
"Excellent choice, Armina, this way you can use your Ice Element as well" Master Fung told me. I gave my Master a grateful smile, before turning to Rai.
"I'm ready when you are pack- mate"
"You got it Mina" Rai said before kneeled down to prepare for the exercise. He closed his eyes, and I could tell he was focusing hard on the cool rock in the center of the lava pit. A funnel appeared close to me, and soon it lifted me into the air towards the lava pit.
"Diamond Dust Ice!" I cried holding my hands out, and my ice power burst into two streams of the frozen water. My attack completely froze the lava pit as I landed gracefully onto the rock in the used to be lava pit. I jumped down from the rock, and slid my way back to the others, Rai beamed proudly.
"Excellent job both of you, each of you have also seemed to master your elements" Master Fung praised us, which got Rai and I to blush, Rai brushed his hand on the back of his head, smiling, while I gave a thumbs up.
"That's weird" Kimiko said as she looked into her PDA. Curious I walked to her side, to see what she was looking at. The others joined Kimiko's right so they to could see what she was watching.
"Look at this police report from Hong Kong; a string of heists by thieves using unusual powers" on the screen was a video of two men wearing what had to be tuxes, and panda bear masks on their faces. My eyes widened when I saw they both had two Shen-Gong-Wu.
"They have the Serpent's Tail and the Fist of Tebigong" I stated the obvious.
"And they're all supposed to be held up at Jack's corral" Clay continued.
"Why would Jack and Wuya start acting like common criminals instead of wannabe world conquerors" Kimiko asked to no one in particular. Diamond gave a cry as he flew towards us, the owl landed on my shoulder.
Jack has traded the Sheng-Gong-Wu for robot parts I overheard him telling Wuya, as I ate nearby
"What did Diamond say Mina?" Rai questioned.
"Evil Dork Face, traded the Shen-Gong-Wu to someone in Hong Kong, for robot parts" I answered him; this got everyone to let out a WTF cry.
Dojo's back
I never been to Hong Kong before, it was a sight to see, perhaps I should come here by myself on a day off I thought to myself. Diamond flew next to Dojo, the Dragon and the Snowy Owl became fast pals.
"Easy with the talons Diamond" Dojo said as my bird landed on top of Dojo's huge head. The dragon began his descent.
"You kids stick close this is the part of Hong Kong Dashi never let me play in" Dojo warned us as we landed near the docks next to some warehouses. The dragon became small, and slid up my leg, and around my shoulder, Diamond flew to Kimiko's shoulder. The outfit I chose to wear this trip consisted of a blood red vest, that sat over a black tube top which wasn't too revealing, I didn't choose to wear jeans this time, instead I chose black pants that went to my knees, as usual I wore boots, this time they were black combat boots. Kimiko wore a yellow tank top with matching pants her hair was in a high pony tail. Around my neck I wore the crescent moon necklace.
"Let's go get back those stolen Wu, this part of Hong Kong looks unsafe" Raimundo declared.
"I agree, with you" I said to him.
"Do not worry, Raimundo and Armina" Omi began. "I will take charge. First we must search carefully for anything suspicious" a crash was heard to left of us.
"Stop Thief!" someone shouted as a man dressed in a white suit with the panda mask on his face ran past us, the Serpent's Tail was in his hands, he used the Wu to slide through the walls of some building to get away.
"Looks like suspicious found us" Clay said.
"Who was that guy anyway?" Kimiko added wondering.
"It doesn't matter he has the Serpent's Tail we need to go after him" I told the guys, who nodded in agreement.
"After him!" Omi shouted, we all separated thinking we could catch the crook faster that way. Diamond flew next to me as I followed the thief's scent.
"Armina look out!" Dojo shouted to alert me I turned to my right just as the white tux guy flew towards me with the Serpent's Tail; I jumped onto a warehouse roof to avoid him. I saw the others on another roof near me, I hightailed over to where they were, jumping carefully from the roof where I used to be.
"This fella is slippier than a greased pig in a sausage factory" Clay said in frustration.
"We must box him in" Omi ordered. "Split apart again!" we all did so, jumping off into different directions. An idea came into my head; perhaps a huge wolf would spook the thief.
"Dojo I need to phase"
"Roger that alpha" the dragon said and hurriedly slid off my neck. I transformed into my wolf form and followed the thief's scent. I found him cornered in an alley, a few feet away from me. I gave a bark, which got the thief, to turn around and sure enough his eyes went bug eyed and he used the Serpent's Tail to flee, I let out a growl in protest and ran after him. I rounded the corner just as the thief went through Raimundo scaring him. I became human again, poor Rai looked freaked out. The others joined us a second later.
"I almost had him the bastard got scared at the sight of a giant white wolf, and used the Serpent's Tail to get away sorry Rai" I apologized turning to my friend.
"That's okay Mina, you can't predict where he would go, it was creepy that he went through me, and I think he also went through my pancreas"
"Too much info Rai" Kimiko scolded, wrinkling her face.
"If it were me, I would have grabbed the Serpent's Tail instead of the man himself, better luck next time you two" Omi said reassuringly.
"I still don't get it" Kimiko began. "Who's behind all of these thefts, if it isn't Jack and Wuya?"
"That man was a servant of Panda Bubba" an old man chimed in near us, he must have been out for a walk. Everyone including me gave a confusing look at each other.
"What's a Panda Bubba?" Omi asked.
Later at Panda Bubba's Lair.
We got directions from the old man to where Panda Bubba's lair was, the lair turned out to be a mansion. We all hid along the walls, to avoid being seen from Bubba's men. Omi started to string orders out to us.
"I will take out the twelve guards on the north, Clay the ten on the east, Kimko and Armina the eleven on the west, Raimundo, the oops there does not seem to be any more guards, my apologies" the monk said embarrassed. Rai only gave a roll of his eyes. The familiar scent of Jack Spicer came to my nose.
"Who called in the loser patrol, hi Armina!" came Jack's voice from above us, we looked up to see the Goth hanging from a tail which was wrapped around a tree branch, he had the Monkey Staff in his hands. On instinct we all took our martial arts positions.
"Jack Spicer I do not know why you have chosen to work with Panda Bubba but" Omi began.
"I'm here for the same reason you are" the Goth said flipping himself right side up, and jumped to the ground.
"To get what Panda Bubba stole from me, whoa nice tube top Armina" the Goth screamed as I threw a hard punch into his face, this got the others to slightly back away from me.
"Sorry guys didn't mean to scare ya" I reassured my friends who all gave a sigh of relief.
"Uh stole?" Kimiko continued the conversation with Jack, while arching an eyebrow. Jack held his sore and bruised left cheek where I punched him.
"Yeah, but I found a secret pass into the mansion where they're holding the Wu, a tough fight for me, but with the right help"
"Jack!" Wuya protested appearing next to her partner. "You can't possibly be suggesting a team up"
Jack ignored her.
"Help me in, and we'll split my ex-Shen-Gong-Wu fifty-fifty"
"Bullshit" I blurted out, not believing him. Wuya gave me a scolding look.
"Please, Jack we can bust this place open ourselves" Kimiko said. It was Jack's turn to arch an eyebrow.
"You want to take a Falcon's Eye look inside and tell me you're so sure?"
Omi grabbed the Falcon's Eye from one of Rai's pockets and called the artifacts name activating it, before placing it on his eye. He gave a gasp.
"Jack is right, we are outnumbered and out Shen-Gong-Wu'd"
"Jack tells you he has a secret pass inside, and ya'll are just gonna believe him!" Raimundo cried out not believing his ears.
"Tell you what" Jack said grinning. "As a show of good faith, I'll even give my last Sheng-Gong-Wu" the Goth held out the Monkey Staff.
"What the hell!" Wuya barked. "Jack don't be a fool, I forbid it!" Jack ignored his partner and went through her, which got him to gag.
"This is a mistake guys, a trap most likely" I pointed out to Kimiko, Clay, and Omi.
"Okay I hear your concerns and will take this up with the others Kimiko, Clay?" Omi asked turning to them.
"I reckon we got no other choice" Clay said Dojo nodded agreeing with him.
"Let's give it a shot" Kimiko voiced out.
"WHAT!" Rai protested while I my eyes widened. "You're going to trust Jack Spicer over us!"
"I'm leaving good luck with getting captured" I declared to the others and leapt over the wall, I felt wind move next to me , I turned to see Rai with Dojo in his grip. The dragon tried to get free from the Latino's grasp.
"What are you doing?" the eastern reptile of legend demanded.
"You are going to take us to back to Master Fung so we can warn him"
"He's right Dojo, Jack did set us up, he was lying the whole time, his heart told me all" this got both Dojo and Raimundo to look at me confused.
"How did you know he was lying Mina?" Rai inquired.
"Jack's heartbeat was pounding when someone does this, their being dishonest, another advantage, of being a werewolf" I replied proudly, pushing my braid back to its normal position. Diamond screeched and he landed on my head.
The both of you were right, Jack did trap the others, I was able to escape before I too was captured I nodded at Diamond.
"Diamond just informed me, the others got captured by Panda Bubba Dojo?" I asked turning to the dragon.
"Get on!" the dragon commanded taking his larger form, Diamond took flight as Rai and I jumped onto the dragon's back, Dojo took into the air, and flew back towards the Temple.
Xiaolin Temple
Once Dojo landed in the Temple courtyard both Rai and I hightailed to find Master Fung, we found our Master meditating in the spot he used frequently, both us skidded to a stop in front of him, out of breath, Dojo slithered to our feet, panting. Diamond landed on my left shoulder.
"Raimundo, Armina, Dojo?" Master Fung said, with concern, standing up. "Where are the others?"
"They've been kidnapped by Panda Bubba" Raimundo answered him, finally catching his breath.
"And his goons are probably on their way here to steal the rest of our Wu" I added. Master Fung got a serious look on his face.
"I will warn the monks"
"Wait Master" I told him, Master Fung turned to me.
"Raimundo and I have a plan but we have to be ones to pull it off"
"But this all very sudden"
"We can do it, Master, I have faith in Raimundo and I" I reassured him, turning to Rai, who gave me a wink.
"I wish the both of you luck and I trust your judgment"
"We won't let you down, let's go Rai, Dojo, Diamond"
In the Vault
The plan Rai and I came up was a good one, we only needed to wait till Panda Bubba's goons showed, when they walked into the vault we were waiting for them. One of the henchmen was the guy in the White Tux and he was bald, his partner had long black hair, he wore a black tux. They both stopped when they saw us leaning against the wall opposite one another.
"You want the rest of the Shen-Gong-Wu? The two of you have to go through us" both of the henchmen looked at each other. Baldy then said to us.
"We good with that Lotus Twister" Baldy's arm became longer, and punched at Rai, who dodged his attack.
"Fist of Tebigong" Baldy's partner cried, and flew towards me, I smirked and grabbed the Fist of Tebigong, my ice began to freeze the Wu up.
"Hey she froze the Fist of Tebigong! Long Hair shouted to his partner.
"Get her then she could be useful to us" Baldy shouted, Long Hair then punched my stomach hard, causing me to black out, as I did I smirked.
Later
I woke up being carried by Long Hair.
"Hey put me down damn it!" I snapped.
"As you wish" he complied.
"You okay Mina?" Rai asked next to me
"Yeah, I'm good" I replied to him.
"Move" Baldy said poking Raimundo with an index finger. We were in the bad side of Hong Kong, we were led into a factory of some sort, which was abandoned. The henchmen took us to Panda Bubba. I gave a WTF whine, when I finally came face to face with him. He looked exactly like a Panda, dude what was this guy's problem.
"Put them with the others" Panda Bubba commanded.
"Sir, the girl has the ability to change into a wolf" said Long Hair.
"She is of no use to me, she won't swear her loyalty" the crime lord added.
"You'll never get away with this" Rai shouted as we were being led away.
"I already have, soon I will rule the Hong Kong criminal underworld" Panda Bubba replied to us. The goons threw us into a store room where the others were tied up as well. Each of them was tied to a package carrier next to each other in a row.
"You alright guys? "Clay questioned.
"We're good" I replied to Clay.
"Sorry about the whole not 'trusting you about Jack' thing" Kimiko apologized.
"I agree, we were captured most shamefully" Omi continued, "while you the two of tried your best to defend the Xiaolin Temple and failed"
"Who said we failed Dojo!" Dojo snuck out from behind Rai's bonds, holding up a pair of scissors.
"Is it time for my big entrance? The dragon jumped from Rai, and cut loose our bonds, as he did with the others. Once they were free Omi turned to us.
"What is going on?"
"You really thought those losers could take us?" I arched an eyebrow at Omi, while giving Rai a high five.
"We knew we had to rescue your sorry butts, so we let ourselves get caught" Rai took off the Shroud of Shadows, from my back, to reveal a backpack full of Wu.
"We also brought Wu with us"
"Nice one partners" Clay praised us grabbing the Two-Ton Tunic.
"Smart move you guys" Kimiko said taking the Third Arm Sash.
"Most Amazing" Omi finished taking the Orb of Tornami. I took the Changing Chopsticks from the bag, and used them to resize the Blizzard Spear. Raimundo took the Eye of Dashi.
"Two-Ton Tunic!" Clay cried out and he smashed into the walls in front of us, dust from the collision made us cough briefly.
"Eye of Dashi" Rai shouted punching a hole through the wall.
"Third Arm Sash!" Kimko joined in using the Wu to also punch a hole through the wall.
"Orb of Torami" Omi shouted making a hole of his own in the wall, our stolen Wu stood in front of us.
"Blizzard Spear!" I shouted pointing the spear at the door, the door opened and Panda Bubba let out a yell as ice crystals attacked him he took off running to avoid being frozen. Two Jack bots as well as some other robot which looked like a butler were in the room, we escaped into the room that held the Wu. The Star Hanabi suddenly hit the butler robot, Jack cried out.
"NOOOOOOO IT"S GONNA BLOW!" everyone hightailed out of the building as the robot exploded. The Sheng-Gong-Wu that Panda Bubba had, had been thrown from the factory due to the blast, now they all lay around us.
"Looks like it's a free for all!" Rai shouted, snapping everyone out of their trances, we all immediately went to snag Wu.
"Diamond!" I called to my partner, the Snowy Owl, screeched and dove towards Braidy and Baldy, both men screamed as the bird of prey swooped down upon them, Diamond grabbed the Serpent's Tail, the Fist of Tebigong broke free of its icy contents when it fell to the ground causing shards to fly everywhere. The Longi Kite sat by itself in front of Raimundo and Jack. Both boys grabbed the Wu at the same time.
"Jack I challenge you!" Raimundo began, but Panda Bubba cleared his throat, he held the tail end of the Kite.
"A Showdown Trio, this was on your cheat sheet too, by the way" the crime lord said to Jack.
"Fine" Jack growled. "How about my Tangle Web Comb for Raimundo's Eye of Dashi, and Panda Bubba's Fist of Tebigong"
"That's cool with me, winner takes Longi Kite name the showdown"
"Last boat afloat wins the showdown" Panda Bubba gestured towards the harbor.
"Let's go Xiaolin Showdown!" the three of them cried. A bright light flashed and Omi, Kimiko, and I along with Dojo, and Diamond were inside the mast atop a ship, the goons were in the other. The warehouse district transformed into a canal, with all sorts of directions. Rai, Jack, and Panda Bubba stood on three separate boats in the water .
"GONG YI-TAN PEI!" they cried in unison before starting the showdown. The three of them separated taking different routes through the canals, Diamond took flight above us to see who was winning, he gave me updates through his telepathy. Raimundo suddenly hit a dead end, while Panda Bubba gained up on him; the Latino dodged him, causing the crime lord to slam into a wall. Rai quickly high-tailed it from Panda Bubba; sadly Jack came next to him.
"Eye of Dashi!" Rai shouted shooting lightning at the Goth.
"Play rough huh? Well I can too, Tangle Web Comb!"
The vines from the comb caught the front of Rai's boat, and snapped it off, causing Rai to stray off course, and straight into Panda Bubba.
"Fist of Tebigong!" the crime lord shouted, slamming the Wu, into the motor of Rai's boat, both Panda Bubba and Jack laughed and left him to sink.
"Come one Rai, you can still win this!" Kimiko and I shouted together.
"Typhoon Boom!" Rai cried and activated his element; the wind formed a tornado around him taking him from his sinking boat, Rai made it to safety to a nearby side. Rai suddenly gave a smirk as though he had an idea.
"Eye of Dashi Wind!" he cried as lightning leapt into the sky, this caused two wind turbines to appear, the wind then picked up causing a huge wave, Rai grabbed a piece of wood, and leapt onto the top of the wave, he had a huge grin on his face as he caught up with Jack and Panda Bubba. Both turned around and turned pale at the sight of the wave and Rai.
"Surf's up!" Rai cried, the two villains yelled as the wave overpowered them, Rai surfed through the goal and the showdown ended. Everything returned to normal after a quick flash of light.
"All right buddy!" Clay praised Raimundo, clapping him on the back.
"Nice surfing Rai" Kimiko added.
"That was incredible" Dojo finished. I hugged Rai, who blushed.
"That was kick ass" I said grinning.
"As a Xiaolin Apprentice, I could not have done better myself" Omi praised.
Back at the Temple
"The time has come for the four of you to learn the Dragon X Kumei Formation" Master Fung explained to Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay.
"What about Armina?" Kimiko questioned looking at me.
"Ice isn't one of the traditional elements its okay Kim go on let's see this new move" the others nodded.
"Dragon X Kumei Formation Water!" Omi shouted.
"Fire!" Kimiko" added in.
"Earth!" Clay cried.
"Wind!" Raimundo finished. The four of them came together as one, forming the attack, Kimiko was being supported by Omi, while Clay stood to the left and Rai on the right.
"Nice move guys" I said impressed.
"Armina now it's your turn for your new elemental attack" I quickly turned to Master Fung.
"Say what?"
"Focus, on the attack young one"
"Sweet try it Mina!" Rai encouraged, I gave a hesitant nod, and closed my eyes. I felt the power of the new attack come to life within me.
"Ice Formation Snow Leopard!" I felt a burning sensation on my forehead, I opened my eyes next to me, where a statue of a Snow Leopard stood, I walked to it, and put my hand on top of the statue's head.
"Release!" the statue broke free and the Snow Leopard came to life.
"Whoa that's cool" Kimiko announced. The Snow Leopard gave me an affectionate chirp and purred itself around my legs. I stroked the creature's head, before it faded back into ice and snow.
"Armina when you call upon a creature made from your element, the symbols for Ice appears on your forehead" Master Fung explained.
I gave him a grateful smile, now I had a new cool attack that could be of an advantage.
Dream
Armina's POV
"I was starting to think you wouldn't come Luna" my suitor called from the darkness.
"I watched a scary movie before I went to bed, so sue me" I said to him. My admirer chuckled and I felt him come up from behind me. He held me from behind as he usually did my back leaning against his chest.
"You're just as beautiful in your wolf form, perhaps I could show you my animal form"
"You can shape shift?" I asked.
"Indeed I can, would you like to see, however I cannot show you my human form yet" I blushed.
"If you don't mind" I replied. I heard my suitor snap his fingers, causing candles to light the room. The pitch black area turned to be a some kind of indoor rose garden, the roses that stared back at me where beautiful, we were inside a greenhouse. I heard water from my left and looked to see a beautiful pond, filled with Lotus pods.
"Do not look at me Luna until I tell you to" my suitor called from behind me. I nodded and listened as he phased into whatever he was becoming.
"You may turn around now my Luna" I turned around and fell. In front of me stood the dragon from my nightmare, the same olive green skin with the black stripes, black spikes traveled from his head to the base of his tail, he had red eyebrows over his beautiful eyes, which were yellow, and they had slits in them as well. I backed away slightly afraid.
"I won't harm you Armina" my suitor said gently coming towards me. His head pressed itself against mine. I looked up at him, this time I wasn't afraid.
"I'm not afraid of you" I told him.
"Good girl, Luna" he purred. I put my hands onto his face, and brought it against my mine. The scales felt smooth against my skin. I closed my eyes, as I did this.
"You're beautiful" I whispered.
"As are you Luna" I opened my eyes and released his face from my grasp.
"Until I know who are I am calling you Kiba, due to those large fangs of yours"
Kiba gave me a smirk.
"As you wish my love, now please turn around again I want to say goodbye to you" I did as he asked.
"Close your eyes Luna as you turn around" Kiba had returned to his human form, I shut my eyes as he spun me around and seized my lips into his once more. This time I felt his tongue slid against my bottom asking for entrance, I shyly opened my lower lip, his tongue met with mine for a brief moment, before he stopped the kiss. I gave a growl.
"Quit teasing me you flirt" I told him not pleased he stopped such an amazing lip lock.
"You will receive more when I have you alone my Luna, much more" I felt myself blush even with my eyes closed. I knew damn well what he was implying.
"Your cute when you blush Luna, until we met again" he purred into my ear.
Hope ya'll enjoyed the chapter. Like Armina's new attack I do! Also I thought it wouldn't harm for Chase to reveal his dragon form to Armina. See ya!
