(Chuck has led us to Fortune Park, where zombies are swarming around aimlessly)
Frank: Alright, Chuck. Where do you think the Sunstone Dragonfly is?
Chuck: (Looks around the area) There, underneath the globe.
Sonic: I'll go get it.
(He zooms over to the globe and reaches underneath until a shuriken stops him)
?: Not so fast. That Sunstone Dragonfly is mine!
(We turn to the stage where an overweight ninja in a dark red outfit that revealed his belly button holding two shuriken)
Chuck: Who the hell is that?
Me: I heard of this guy from Raimundo. His name's Tubbimura. He may be a bit portly, but despite that, he can move pretty quickly.
Tubbimura: Correct. And now, I shall take what's mine and go.
Cody: (Aims his blaster) Guess again!
(Rex and Cody fire their blasters at Tubbimura, which the ninja dodges. Chuck takes the chance to run to a set of stairs and call out to Sonic)
Chuck: Sonic! I'm open!
(Sonic throws the Sunstone Dragonfly to Chuck. Tubbimura attempts to intercept it, causing the two of them to catch it simultaneously)
Chuck: Back off, fatso! This thing is mine!
Tubbimura: Fine! We will settle this with a Xiaolin Showdown! My Fist of Tebigong against your Eye of Dashi!
Chuck: The game is a Fortune City favorite: Terror is Reality. First one to slay five hundred zombies wins.
Tubbimura: Agreed! Let's go.
Chuck & Tubbimura: Xiaolin Showdown!
(The area around us transforms into a stunt park with Chuck and Tubbimura standing in the center. The rest of us are stationed in a set of bleachers with a scoreboard above. Chuck and Tubbimura look to their left and their right and notice around a hundred zombies surrounding them. They give each other a scowl)
Chuck & Tubbimura: Gong Yi Tanpai!

Chapter 3: Street Rat and Princess Meet
The next morning after Dawn makes her late night getaway from the palace, we find Leo and Chimchar in the streets up their old tricks again. They're on top of the awning of a fruit stand.
"Alright, Chimchar, you're on." Leo told his Pokémon buddy as the flame-tailed chimp dips over the edge of the awning and glances at the proprietor.
"Try this, your taste buds will dance and sing." The stand's owner told some passersby before noticing Chimchar grab a melon and hang there. "Hey! Get your paws off that."
"Blah-blah-blah!" Chimchar taunted.
"Why, you little… Get away from here, you filthy ape!" The owner angrily shouted as he pried the melon away from Chimchar. Leo takes his chance to dip down and snatch another melon from the stand.
"Bye-bye!" Chimchar zings back up, allowing the proprietor to take the melon to the front and place it on a stack. He then looks confused, almost like he's done this before.
"Nice job, Chimchar. Breakfast is served." Leo complimented his pet as they went to the rooftop to break open the melon and eat. Meanwhile, a disguised Dawn is walking through the streets.
"Pretty lady, buy a pot. No finer pot in brass or silver." One shopkeeper said, presenting a brass pot.
"Sugar dates, sugar dates and figs! Sugar dates and pistachios!" Another shopkeeper called out.
"Would the lady like a necklace? A pretty necklace for a pretty lady." A third shopkeeper charmed her, which worked until a fourth shopkeeper thrusted a fish in her face.
"Fresh fish! We catch them, you buy them!" The fish shopkeeper said. Dawn starts backing away slowly.
"Uh, thanks, but no." She declined as he backed away, unintentionally bumping into a fire eater, startling him into swallowing his fire. "Oh, excuse me." The fire eater then swallows the fire and burps it from his mouth. Dawn responds with a disgusted cringe. The fire eater then taps his stomach, pleased with the result. Leo then sees her and starts to get a strange look in his eyes. "I'm really, very sorry."
"Wow!" Leo sighed, showing that he's deeply in love with her. Dawn pulls the hood of her cloak over her head. Chimchar sees his owner and jumps on his shoulder, waving his hand in front of his Leo's face.
"Uh-oh. Hello? Hello?" Chimchar called out, but no response. Dawn sees a little homeless boy reaching for a piece of fruit from the stand.
"Oh, you must be hungry. Here you go." Dawn picks up an apple from the cart and gives it to the child, causing the stand owner to take notice.
"You'd better be able to pay for that." The proprietor informed her. Dawn turns around, mystified.
"Pay?" Dawn questioned as the owner grabbed her by the arm.
"No one, and I mean no one steals from my cart!" The fruit stand owner reminded her.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I don't have any money." Dawn replied.
"Then that makes you a thief!" The owner shouted as he dragged her by the hand to an empty part of the stand and pins it to the table with the intent to chop it off. Leo takes notice of the encounter.
"Please, if you let me go to the palace, I could ask the Sultan for some." Dawn pleaded.
"Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?" The owner pulls out a sword and raises it in the air.
"No, no please!" Dawn cried for mercy as the owner brings down the sword, only for it to be stopped by Leo.
"Thank you, kind sir. I'm so glad you found her." Leo innocently thanked the owner and turned his attention to Dawn. "I've been looking everywhere for you."
"What are you doing?" Dawn whispered to him.
"Just play along." Leo whispered back before the stand owner stopped him.
"You know this girl?" The owner asked.
"Unfortunately, yes. She is my sister. She can be a bit cuckoo at times." Leo answered as he circled a finger around his ear. Dawn is shocked at his response. The stand owner grabbed him by the vest.
"She said she knew the Sultan." The owner countered.
"That's because she mistook my chimp for the Sultan." Leo replied as he got his grip off his vest and motioned to Chimchar. The Chimp Pokémon was picking a pocket before noticing and quickly straightens up. Dawn, deciding to play along, kneels down and bows to Chimchar.
"Oh, wise Sultan. How may I serve you?" Dawn asked, keeping her innocent act.
"Well, blah-blah-blah-blah." Chimchar replied, acting like a Sultan, tapping Dawn's head.
"Pretty disappointing, don't you think?" Leo asked as he leaned forward, picking up another apple from the cart with his right foot. "But, no harm, no fowl." He then gives the apple back to the owner and walks over to Dawn. "Come on, sis. Let's take you to the doctor."
"Oh, hello doctor. How are you?" Dawn asks a nearby Camerupt, still acting silly.
"No, no, no. Not that one." Leo replied and turns his attention to Chimchar, whose vest pockets are bulging. "Come on, Sultan. Let's go." To everyone's surprise, as soon as Chimchar bows to the crowd, everything he managed to steal from the cart spills out.
"Huh? What's going on?" The owner asked as the flame-tailed chimp hurriedly picks up what he could carry and runs off with Leo and Dawn. "Come back here, you little thieves!"
Meanwhile, in Murdoc's lab, Chicken is running on a treadmill-like gear in a strange contraption. A storm can be seen brewing at the top of the contraption.
"With all due respect, your rottenness, can't we just wait for an actual storm?" Chicken asked, feeling exhausted.
"Save your breath, Chicken. Faster!" Murdoc replied as he placed Iroh's ring in the contraption.
"Yes, o mighty evil one." Chicken complied as he picked up the pace. A lightning bolt streaks through the ring and passes through the hourglass below. The sands inside begin to swirl and form the Cave of Wonders at the top.
"Ah, sands of time, reveal to me one who can enter the cave." The malicious advisor requested as the sands drop to the bottom in a storm, which shows Leo climbing a ladder, followed by Dawn in her cloak. "Yes, yes! There he is. My diamond in the rough!"
"That's him?! That's the clown we've been waiting for?!" Chicken questioned before he loses his footing and gets sucked into the gears.
"Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace, shall we?" Murdoc asked as Chicken is launched from the contraption and slams into the wall upside-down.
"Swell." Chicken wheezed, followed with a low cough as he fell to the floor. Murdoc laughs evilly as the camera zooms in on the sandstorm with the image of Leo inside.
(Fortune Park returns to normal with the zombies around us slain and Tubbimura on the ground in defeat.)
Tubbimura: Not bad, for your first showdown.
Chuck: What can I say? Zombie slaying is my specialty.
Tubbimura: But of course. We will meet again. (Leaves)
Vanellope: Good riddance. I was getting tired of that guy.
Rex: Look! The sun's going down.
(We look and see Capt. Rex was right. We see the sun going down)
Frank: Crap! We need to get out of here!
Cody: Wait a minute. Why do we need to leave?
Chuck: No time! We need to find a way out of here!
Me: We can take the gunship parked on the hotel roof. Come on!
(We make our way to the Fortune City Hotel roof, where the gunship is parked. We board it and take off, with Dojo transforming and taking off as well)
Rex: I'm not one to be impatient, but why did we need to leave? All I said was that the sun's going down.
Chuck: Well, let's just say that zombies tend to get stronger and hungrier at night.
Sofia: Whoa! That sounds scary.
Me: Scary is right, princess. That matter aside, we've got two of the Shen Gong Wu now. All that's left is the Spectral Flute in Los Perdidos.
Chuck: My daughter Katey and I know a guy there, a mechanic named Nick Ramos. Our first greeting may not have been friendly, but we got along nonetheless. We have been looking in a Phenotrans facility for a cure to the zombie parasite and evidence to clear me of suspicion when I was framed for the Fortune City outbreak. But our chances at finding the cure were lost, as was the facility. But it turns out, the cure was within Nick the whole time.
Cody: A cure?
Frank: Yep. And it was enough to put Phenotrans out of business for good.
Me: Who would've thought a cure for an infection would be inside a person's blood? (Sighs) We should get to Los Perdidos while we can. You readers may rate/review/fav/follow. Archer out.
