Happy Saturday Readers!
Hope you like the new chapter. On with the show! And yes there is a Captain Jack Sparrow phrase used in this chapter lol!
Armina's POV
It took a good week for the Temple to be completely restored, after Dojo's rampage. I stood beside my fellow monks for the morning training session. We all stood in the courtyard, in front of the Koi pond, ready for Master's Fung's instructions.
"Today's exercise will test your abilities to use your Shen-Gong-Wu, to handle your foes, as a team, this task requires great focus" I wanted to laugh at that. The others weren't even paying attention, Kimiko was admiring her hair, in a mirror, Rai was too busy listening to his mp3 player, Omi was watching a bee, and Clay was carving a cow, made out of wood
"Your task is to hit the dummy" Master Fung explained, the dummy in question came down from a tree in front of him, hovering over the water, Dojo had it tied to the end of his tail, the dragon sat in the tree, fast asleep even his snoring could be heard.
"Begin!" Master Fung shouted. Clay was the first to act.
"Uh, Ruby of Ramses!" he shouted uncertainly.
"Sword of the Storm!" Rai cried.
"Thorn of Thunderbolt?" Kimiko rang out uncertainly.
"Wooshu Helmet!" Omi finished hurriedly put the helmet Wu on his head.
Raimundo's wind formed a mini cyclone, which went straight for Clay, the funnel lifted the cowboy off of his feet into the air, I made a quick dash to the left, as the funnel picked up Omi and Kimiko, the Thorn of Thunderbolt shot a blast into the tree which caused it to shake and wake up Dojo, I gave a sigh as the others Dojo included, were thrown into the Koi pond.
"I see not one of you except for Armina was listening" Master Fung said disapprovingly. The others crawled out of the Koi pond and walked up to Master Fung, all having shameful looks on their faces.
"In order, to defeat a foe, each one of you must work as a team, by focusing, all of you are too busy focusing on other things Kimiko checking your hair" Master Fung began, as he walked to Kimiko and took her mirror from her. "Raimundo listening to your mp3 player, Clay playing with your cow, and Omi you and your bumble bee" the Master continued, as he took the mp3 player from Rai, the cow from Clay and gently grabbing the bee out of the air.
"One cannot gain victory by wandering"
"But Master Fung, my mind was made to wonder, how else can I learn how Bees, use their wings to lift up their tiny bodies?" Omi said. Master Fung put the bee, into the tulip bush in front of him, before turning to Omi.
"I said wander, not wonder Omi"
Jack's Spicer's Lair or Basement
Jack's POV
I was in a good mood, I had just finished my rolling shield, which was basically a large glass hamster ball. Now all I had to do was test it.
"Jack-Bots!" I shouted. Usually my robots came to me when I called for them, but this time they didn't I frowned knowing good well who was behind this.
"Megan I told you not to play with my stuff" I told my six year old cousin as I rolled up to her. Megan had short blonde hair, with blue eyes. The dress she had on wanted to make me gag. It was pink and had white poka dots on it. She was sitting down at a table low enough for her, and my robots, to my horror, were dressed up for a tea party.
"Shhh! your ruining our tea party!" she said to me as she poured tea, into a teacup for one of my robots.
"Thank you Lady Megan" the robot to my left said.
"Jack we need to focus here" Wuya told me, as she came to my side.
"Yuck that ugly witch is back do some tricks ugly witch!" Megan demanded pointing a finger at Wuya.
"Like making yourself less ugly" I suggested. Wuya gave a growl and flew angerly to Megan. She pointed a ghostly hand at my cousin while saying.
"One more word out of your little cousin and I'll turn her into a pig"
"I hear you bark little doggie, now let's see you bite" Megan taunted. Wuya roared at Megan, who only yawned in boredom.
"I knew it you can't do nothing, except look ugly!" Okay I had to calm this down.
"Girls, girls let's not fight here" I said trying to mediate the situation. Wuya then let out a gasp, meaning one thing a new Wu had just activated.
"A new Shen-Gong-Wu has just revealed itself on the island of Java, the Mind Reader Conch" the witch announced.
"Let's roll" I said to no one in particular.
"Whatever you say Jack" Megan said sweetly, placing a hand on my glass shield, causing it to roll.
On Dojo's Back
Armina's POV
Dojo had sensed a new Wu, so we were off to island of Java, where it was located. Dojo let out a whine.
"What is it Dojo?" I asked the dragon curious why he seemed to be uncomfortable.
"My backside itches like no tomorrow either from sensing new Wu or poison oak" Omi sat behind me, so I looked to see him scratching Dojo's scales.
"Awww man that feels great" the dragon crooned happily. The island soon appeared belowus, it was beautiful, the ocean was a crystal clear blue, the beach literally looked it came out from Hawaii. Dojo landed on the beach, we all got off of him, so he could return to his normal form, he quickly grabbed a tree branch, and scratched his itchy spot.
"Aww baby" he said.
"Okay let's quit messing around crew, where's the Wu?" Rai demanded. We all wore different outfits for this environment. Rai had to be an idiot, he wore a short sleeved t- shirt with green sleeves that was over a long sleeved orange shirt, his pants were tan, Clay had all of his usual attire on, except his shirt was short sleeved as well. Kimiko wore an orange short sleeved short, a tan vest lay over the t-shirt, which matched with her tan shorts, she wore orange socks and black shoes. Her hair was held in a pony tail. I wore a blue vest over a black tank top; I chose to wear black shorts, along with my black combat boots. My hair was out of its braid, I chose to wear my necklace given to me by Kiba.
"The Wu is the Mind Reader Conch" Dojo explained, taking out a scroll, and opened it to show the contents inside it. The scroll showed the usual figure holding the conch to his ear. "The Mind Reader Conch allows its user to hear others thoughts"
"Sweet" I said with a grin on my face.
"It's that away!" Dojo said pointing to his right. We all walked forward and pulled back a palm to see the beach was covered with conchs. We all separated to search for the Wu. We weren't having any luck because I kept hearing shell after shell being thrown into the ocean. I suddenly heard Omi scold Raimundo about something. I turned just as Omi threw something into the sand. Rai picked up a golden colored shell, my eyes went bug eyed it was the Minder Reader Conch.
"It's all that Omi" Rai corrected Cue-Ball. He must have heard the little guy use another incorrect phrase.
"What's all what?" Kimiko asked walking up to Rai.
"It's not all what it's all that sheesh" Rai told Kimiko annoyed, as he tossed the Conch into the sand again. I walked to it and picked it up.
"Guys this is the Mind Ready Conch" I told my pack-mates, they all stopped what they were doing and turned to me.
"Nice work Mina" Rai praised. I gave him a smirk, and put the Mind Reader Conch to my ear.
HA! Armina has the Minder Reader Conch, I can grab it from her, if I kiss her again came the voice of Jack Spicer.
I gave a snarl.
"We have unwanted company" I told the others before turning around looking into the sky as Jack flew towards us.
"If you even think about kissing me again I'm going to punch the hell out of you!" I yelled at the Goth.
But before Jack could answer I noticed someone was on his back, whoever it was covered his eyes, and caused him to go off course however this didn't stop Jack from ordering his robots to attack us.
"Diamond Dust Ice!" I shouted as an ice stream erupted from my left hand and froze a robot. Another robot ambushed me from behind, causing me to let go of the Mind Reader Conch. The Wu flew into the air and another robot caught it.
"I got it Armina, Thorn of Thunderbolt!" Kimiko shouted unleashing lightning from the Wu she used, the lightning hit the Mind Reader Conch causing it to fly from the robots clutches, I jumped into the air and grabbed it.
"Ya'll cover your mouths I'm going to get these robots confused Sword of the Storm!" Rai shouted using his Wu to create a large sand funnel.
"Dojo anytime now!" I cried to the dragon, who heard me and transformed into his larger form. He flew into the sand funnel, and flew out of it with all of us on his back. I held onto the Mind Reader Conch.
"Do I get a thank you?" Dojo inquired from us. The others mumbled their thanks in sarcasm, curious I used the Minder Reader Conch.
Oh enough out of you mumbled Omi.
Oh shut up was Kimiko's response.
Stupid Dragon Rai growled.
Does he really need a praise? Clay wondered. I frowned as I lowered the conch from my ear.
"You guys need to lay off Dojo" I growled to them disapprovingly.
"Sorry Armina" the four dragons said in unison.
Dream
I was again running from Raphael. However the bastard leapt onto me in his wolf form and pinned me to the ground. He took his human form and he smirked cruelly above me, he was shirtless and only wore black pants and was barefoot, while I only wore the white dress.
"This won't hurt one bit" he purred to me, as he grabbed a knife from one of his pockets and began to cut my dress off.
"Get off of me!" I shouted throwing my right hand into the air.
Next Morning
"Armina wake up!" I heard Master Fung yell. I woke up in a cold sweat.
"You were having a nightmare young one, however you seemed to have injured yourself" he explained bending down to my level, and held my left arm. My eyes widened as a huge slash mark looked back at me.
"We need to get this wound cleaned up to prevent infection, I will get someone to clean the walls" Master Fung said helping me up, I still had on my sleep wear, which consisted of black pajama shorts, and a red tank top.
"What do you mean?" I questioned at Master Fung and looked at the walls of my room. My eyes went even wider on both sides of the walls, was blood due to me using my claws.
Later
My arm was cleaned and wrapped up before doing morning chores. Everyone was tearing up, because our task was to peel and chop onions. Rai threw an onion to Omi, who jumped into the air and used his hands in knife like motions to peel the skin off, Omi then kicked the onion to Clay who in turn kicked it to Kimiko, who did the same knife like hand motion to chop the onion into different pieces, she kicked the pieces to me, which I caught jumping into the air. I landed next to Dojo and put the sliced onion pieces into a bucket that was almost full. Both Dojo and I suddenly leapt into the air as we felt something shake beneath us.
"What was that?" Kimiko inquired once the ground stopped shaking beneath us.
"I don't know but look" I pointed out to a large crevice in the earth leading to the vault. We all stopped what we were doing, and ran toward the vault. We got there just as Jack was walking out of the underground storage unit for the Shen-Gong-Wu.
"I knew it was you Jack!" I snarled at the Goth.
"Didn't anyone tell you Armina, you're beautiful when you're angry?" Jack commented winking at me. The Goth then commanded his robots to attack. While the robots attacked the others, I leapt towards Momma's Boy. But before I could get to him a Jack-Bot caught me in its clutches. Jack got back into his drill machine, along with Wuya. He got it to start, and it buried itself back into the earth, thus meaning Jack was getting away again.
"Diamond Dust Ice!" I cried slamming my hand against the robot that held me, my ice quickly began to freeze the piece of junk, causing it to become too heavy to hold me. I gave the robot a good sweep kick to the left, before it completely froze, which got me to get free. The frozen robot landed with a loud thud onto the vault floor.
With Master Fung
"Armina I am very worried about you dear one, these nightmares how long have they been happening?" Master Fung asked me. The two of sat in deep meditation in the pagoda in the courtyard. The others were blowing off steam from the raid earlier.
"Since I turned sixteen I always wake up before anything happens" I replied.
"I can't imagine the horror you saw when you watched your parents die" I opened my eyes. Tears poured down my face. Master Fung noticed my silence because he opened an eye, and used his left hand to wipe my tears away.
"No child should go through what you have been through young one, I promise you, you are safe here, the others monks and I will see to it" he comforted me bringing me into a hug.
Arriving at Jack's House
The others came up with a plan to get back our stolen Wu back from Jack. We all easily got over the wall into Jack's front yard; we all hid in a bush. The front yard was full of Jack-Bots, so we needed to use a distraction. Diamond took flight from my arm, and flew into the night sky. The robots saw the Snowy Owl, and gave chase.
"Now's our chance guys" I told the others, who nodded, before we leapt into the air onto Jack's roof. We came to a glass part of the roof. We all looked through the glass; we could see a room beneath us. Clay opened a part of the glass, which we used to get inside. We quietly landed onto the floor, and cautiously began looking for the basement. I turned around at the sound of something rolling on the floor. All of our eyes widened, as a little cute blonde haired girl dressed in a pink with poka dots dress rolled towards us in what seemed to be a giant glass hamster ball.
"Hi I'm Megan!" she said cutely. I smiled. I loved children.
"Now that's something you don't see everyday a little girl in a hamster ball" Rai added pointing a thumb toward Megan.
"My cousin Jack is so stupid, he thought he trapped me inside but I found a door" Megan said, as she jumped out of the exit of the hamster ball.
"Are you looking for Jack and the old hag?" she questioned.
"Indeed we are we're here to retrieve" I began.
"Oh you want to get back the cool stuff he stole, I'll take you guys to his lab if I can play with your dragon" she finished for me, pointing at Dojo. Dojo who was sitting on my head, gave a shy groan. I grabbed him and walked over to Megan, with the dragon in my arms. Megan happily took Dojo who blushed and questioned.
"Don't I get a say in this?"
"Sorry Dojo, but we need her help, besides Megan seems to like you" I told the reptile while flashing a fanged grin. As promised Megan led us to Jack's lab. When we found it, I was impressed; Jack had all sorts of cool gadgets.
"HA! You Xiaolin Losers thought you could get in here so easily, don't think so" the Goth said smirking coming out from a hiding spot, Wuya hovered beside him. I noticed he had the Mind Reader Conch damn of course!
"Jack Bots Attack!" he cried. The robots encircled around us, meaning we were trapped. Suddenly the wall to the left broke apart, as Megan rolled in literally, she had gotten back into the glass hamster ball, and Dojo was inside with her. She rolled around us at a fast pace, as Jack's robots shot their lasers, thanks to her rolling, the lasers deflected from the glass ball, instead the lasers hit back at the robots, causing them to be destroyed.
"DAMN IT MEGAN THAT COST ME A MONTH'S ALLOWANCE!" the Goth yelled. I was the closest to the Sheng-Gong-Wu on the lab table, I leapt for it, at the same time Jack did. The two of us grabbed the bag at the same meaning it was a time for a showdown.
"Jack I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown I wager the Silk Spinner"
"I wager the Mind Reader Conch, the game is the first to cry Uncle loses"
"Let's go Xiaolin Showdown!" I shouted. The basement immediately began the usual change for the showdown. Old pipes and metal connected to one another creating paths ways that could be walked on, the rest turned into a massive factory like background.
"GONG-YI-TAN-PAI!" both Jack and I shouted together.
"Silk Spinner" I shouted activating the Wu, a sticky thread of web, escaped from the Silk Spinner and attached itself to a pipe above me. I leapt off of the ground, and swung towards Jack, who was on a metal beam below me. He easily made a move to the left as I slammed into a large piece of factory equipment. Jack only smirked, and used his heli pad to go to another beam above me. Damn of course with the Mind Reader Conch he knew my every movie. I used the Silk Spinner to lower myself to the others.
"I have an idea, guys if we all put our petty insults together it will distract Jack long enough to the point I can win this showdown what say you?" I inquired hanging from upside down the Silk Spinner.
"Smart move Mina" Rai agreed.
"I'm with Raimundo let's do this" Omi said. I smirked before I used the Silk Spinner to attach itself to another pipe.
Jack's POV
Maybe if Jack worked out enough he wouldn't be a scrawny old lady I heard Kimiko say.
"What the hell Kimiko!" I shouted from the spot of the metal beam where I stood. I suddenly felt a hard kick from behind me; this caused me to fall from my spot and crash face first onto a pipe below me. I looked up at a smirking Armina. I let out a scream and high-tailed it from her.
"Mind Reader Conch!" I yelled pressing my ear against it.
That Jack is slower than a three legged cow in a pool of quick sand Clay said.
"I'm faster than any three legged cow!" I protested standing up.
"Jack look out!" Wuya shouted, I turned around just as Armina flew towards me, she gave an evil smirk, I winced as her fist came into my face. I screamed as she punched me so hard, I flew from the metal beam I was on, and was falling to the ground fast.
"Silk Spinner!" she cried creating a web below, which I landed in.
"Uncle, Uncle!"
Armina's POV
I smiled in triumph as I held the wagered Wu after the lab became normal again. The others came to congratulate me.
"You loser!" Wuya screamed at Jack. The Goth broke free from the web I made to save his butt and used the Changing Chopsticks to shrink himself. He ran towards a crack in the wall, and kicked out a rat when he entered the hole.
"That was awesome" Meg complimented as she brought the bag of Wu to us.
"We couldn't have done it without you and Lady Dojo" I said winking at Dojo who blushed and removed the baby bonnet he had on. He became large again.
"Thanks for your help Megan" I told the little girl as we got onto Dojo's back.
"Bye come play again some time" she called as Dojo took flight.
Dream
"What happened to you Luna?" Kiba asked me as I walked toward him. He walked over to me in his dragon form, concern on his face.
"A nightmare" I answered him, as he sniffed my bandaged left arm.
"It must have been a suppressed memory then, nightmares like that can sometimes have the dreamer to accidentally physically harm themselves" my suitor explained, walking back towards the pond. He turned to me and gave a come here gesture with his left clawed hand. I blushed as I did as he asked. I sat myself on the edge of the pond.
"Luna please tell me why you are so scared all of the sudden" Kiba said to me gently. He put a clawed hand against my face and made me turn to look at him.
"I can't" I answered ashamed.
"Who is doing this to you my love, I want to help"
I didn't answer his question.
"Luna, close your eyes for me" I nodded and closed them, not helping the tears that streamed down my face. I heard Kiba take his human form. His strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist pulling me up from my sitting position. I put my face against his chest.
"Luna, I can look into your mind, if it's easier that way only with your consent though"
"You may" I told him. I then felt Kiba enter my mind. It was quiet for a few minutes, before he let out a roar of rage I backed away from him in fear. I tripped over a rock causing me to fall on my butt.
"Luna I'm sorry for scaring you" Kiba told me, helping me up.
"Now do you see why I wish not to discuss what you saw"
"Indeed I do, however I will make this clear, that bastard Raphael will not harm or touch you, the thought of him wanting to do what I saw in your nightmare sickens me, no man should ever force themselves onto a woman without their consent or against their will"
"Raphael will not stop until he has me for his mate"
"He won't have you I swore to you I am the one who will win your heart Luna and I will do whatever it take to protect you" with that being said he kissed me. This kiss held love in it, real love. I wrapped my arms around Kiba's neck. Kiba's tongue begged entrance at my lower lip which I happily obliged with, our tongues met in a passionate dance, I felt him lower us to the ground. My body met with the smooth grass. I gave a yelp of surprise as I felt a gloved hand slide up my leg, and stop where my dress was at my thigh.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I don't want to take advantage of you we will make our first time special when the time is right" I felt my face turned beet red at the mention of the word beginning with s and ending with x.
"Just shut up and kiss me I was enjoying it" I ordered him. This got Kiba to laugh. I felt him crawl on top of me again; he put lips to my ear and whispered.
"As you wish Luna"
Holy crap, Chase is mad. Well who wouldn't be with a jerk like Raphael. Boo! Hope you guys liked the little heated chemistry between Chase and Armina. Next chapter will be posted tomorrow! Peace!
