So this is a really long chapter. I couldn't get where I wanted to get with this chapter without a lot of content, but I'm sure it won't be a problem:). Once again, Thanks for the reviews, I love it!

"It's been three weeks since the first Shen Gong Wu revealed itself: three weeks since we learned that the Dragon of Fire has indeed been training with Wuya." Master Fung addressed the monks in the temple vault.
"There have been nine Shen Gong Wu revealed. Wuya has six of them well we only have three." Guan then informed the monks. Some shifted in their seats, well others looked quite displeased.
"This never would have happened if we would have been able to acquire the Dragons of Fire and Wind." said a disgruntled monk.
"This wouldn't be a problem if the Dragons of Wind and Fire weren't so impressionable" spoke another.
"Really the only problem we have is the Dragon of Fire, who is openly hindering are mission to collect Shen Gong Wu." yelled yet another monk.
"The Wind Dragon isn't helping us by being Chase Young's apprentice!" screamed another monk, well a few nodded. Soon there was a yelling match going on in the temple vault.
Guan and Fung both looked at each other, each with deep frowns. Master Fung then nodded at Guan, who then stood up.
"Silence!" Guan bellowed, "Fighting each other won't make this problem go away. Until we know full well the circumstances surrounding the true reasons the Wind and Fire Dragons felt it necessary to join the Heylin, we will just have to convince them to join the rightful side. "
Guan then turned back to Master Fung as the other monks calmed down. "We have to find out who the Dragon of Fire is first." stated Guan gloomily

A crow flew through the blue sky, but the sky started to turn darker, and the clouds began to thicken. Up ahead, a mountain came into view, which seemed to be at the center of the clouds. The crow flew downwards, until an entrance came into view, which the crow flew into. Once inside the crow continued to glide past the throne and to the fountain just behind the chair.
The crow then started to descend, preparing to land on his masters shoulder, who was mediating. Once on the shoulder of his master, he began to whisper into his ear.
Chase listened closely to what the crow had to say. Soon Chase's face went from a calm face to a frown.
"I do not like this news. Raimundo!" Chase called.
Rai came slowly into the main room from a hallway in the back, trudging on slowly as he wrapped his belt around his waist.
"What is it…," yawned Raimundo, "it's like five in the morning"
"Technically you were supposed to be up at four-thirty." Chase glared. "Anyway, I called you here for I just found out information that displeased me deeply."
Raimundo looked at the crow on Chases shoulder back to Chase then broke out in pure panic. "Look Chase, whatever that bird told you I didn't do it! Well maybe I did, but I…"
Chase closed his eyes in frustration. No matter how much discipline forced onto Raimundo, he still found ways to pull childish pranks around the palace. "Raimundo, I don't care what you have done, this information is much more important.
Raimundo visibly relaxed and waited for Chase to continue.
"Nine Shen Gong Wu have revealed themselves, and Wuya has six of them, well the monks only have three." Chase then continued into his real concern. "As much as I despise the monks, I hate Wuya that much more, and I don't want her to have more power than she deserves. And if Wuya does end up gaining more power through the Shen Gong Wu, it will only create more problems for my future goal." revealed Chase.
"What exactly is the future plan?" asked a puzzled Rai.
"In due time Raimundo." Chase then turned to the crow on his shoulder. "Go to Wuya's hideout, I want to know when a new Shen Gong Wu reveals." The bird nodded and flew off. Chase then turned to Raimundo.
"So Raimundo, would you rather spar me as your training for today, or tell me what you did, and face the punishment that is deemed fit." Chase stated matter of factly.
Raimundo thought back to his last punishment involving a too many toilets and litter boxes, a toothbrush, and his hands tied behind his back.
"Put 'em up!"

Arrows shot out of the corridor that Kimiko was currently in. She ducked down and went into the splits. She immediately shot up as the flow started to shake, and fall away. She then sensed something or someone coming up behind her. She lit a fire in her hand as she flipped and twisted the air to face the attacker. Once turned around in the air she shot a steady stream of fire at a Jack-bot, then landed on the floor right on letters that said finish.
"Jack you really call this training, I did this well blindfolded." Kimiko fussed as she took the blindfold off.
"Well I wouldn't want to hurt that pretty little face of yours." Jack tried to flirt. He then screamed as a ball of fire flew right over his head. "Will you warn me next time you lose your temper. "
"Jack I told you I will never like you, not even as a friend," Kimiko said as she looked at her nails.
"Come on just one date!" Jack whined.
"Eeeww! Not happening!" Kimiko shuddered.
"Jack, a girl on the corner would rather go to jail for prostitution, then even get in a car with you." Wuya said as she entered the room. All of the sudden, Wuya went rigid, and her eyes glowed green. "The Looking Glass just revealed itself! It's in Greece. Let's go!" Wuya screeched.
%%...%%...%%...%%
"Come Raimundo, it appears we are heading to Greece." Chase smirked as he looked over at Raimundo, who was laying face down on the ground breathing very heavily, who merely gave a thumbs up.

"The Shen Gong Wu must be close. We cannot let Wuya get her hands on this Wu!" Omi tried to encourage as he lead the way through the forest.
"By these pimples I'm starting to get, I would say its up ahead!" Dojo said as he popped a pimple, making Clay cringe.
They came in to a clearing only to see Wuya and Jack on the other side of the clearing.
"Prepare for a humiliating defeat!" Omi screamed as he and Clay got into their fighting positions.
"Don't you boys learn," Wuya cooed "I have fire power on my side." She then snapped her fingers and a line of fire separated Wuya and Jack from the monks.
As soon as the fire came, a strong gust of wind encircled the fire and circled it until it went out.
"Hey what was that!" asked Jack.
"That was me, destroying Wuya's confidence in this little plan of hers." Rai said as he landed in the middle of the clearing.
"What are you doing here!" Wuya snarled.
"He is here with me." Chase then appeared next to Raimundo.
"What in tarnation is going on here!" Clay yelled. "Normally you too never show for these."
"My fight is not with you Xiaolin monks; it's with Wuya, and her little monkeys." Said a calm Chase.
Wuya then snapped her fingers well wearing a grin. Fire then began to fall from the treetops towards Chase and Raimundo. Raimundo was quick to react and put up a shield of wind. Omi and Clay then took the opportunity to hit Wuya with a combination of water and earth. Wuya and Jack were both knocked off their feet.
Soon Wuya was back on her feet and attacking Omi and Clay.
"Jack-bots attack!" screamed Jack from the ground as he hid behind a tree. Chase and Raimundo then started to attack the robots. Chase punched a head off a Jack-bot then grabbed the arm of the bot and threw it into five others . An explosion followed as six more bots were destroyed in the explosion. Chase then started walking towards Wuya, who was in a deadlock with Clay and Omi.
Chase was then halted in his pursuit when fire began to rain down on him. Chase somersaulted backwards then called over to Raimundo.
"Go take out the Dragon of Fire!" Raimundo complied and jumped up into the treetops as the fight continued in the clearing.

Raimundo was in the treetops using his wind ability to locate Kimiko in the treetops. Raimundo then grinned as he jumped to another tree as Kimiko's fist connected with the bark of the tree. Raimundo then took the time to notice what she was wearing.
Her robe was black but had deep red trimming. The deep color red was also the color of her belt around her waist. Her robe was completely black, yet had a red shimmer to it. Her robe clung to her body, and went to just above her knees, but had too slits on either side stopping at her hip. She wore black leggings, and had flat black boots that ended below her knees. Raimundo's hormones were racing to say the least.
"Olá linda." Rai said in his native Portuguese. This only seemed to frustrate her, for she attacked again. Raimundo ducked under her fist, then propelled himself back a little ways to avoid her foot from stopping on him.
"Aye, would you mind introducing yourself before trying to squash me, its honorable you know chica." Raimundo said slightly irritated.
"Fine. My name is Kimiko, and I don't appreciate being referred to as Wuya's monkey." she said with edge.
"That was technically my master Chase. And by the way, I'm Raimundo, but I let you call me Rai." smirked Rai as he stuck out his hand.
"Are you always this nice to your enemies?" Kimiko sneered.
"Only to the pretty ones." was Raimundo's immediate answer as he gave a half smirk at her as her cheeks slightly turned pink.
"Well if you don't mind I have to get back to my mission." she said as she turned around only to see Raimundo's chest in front of her. She looked up at him and glared, and was about to yell, when Raimundo kicked her legs out from under her, then in the same motion used his wind to blow her back.
Kimiko quickly regained her bearings, and landed on her feet a few trees over. She looked up at Raimundo and glared at him, but he merely shrugged and lazily leaned against the tree trunk.
"I have my orders too menina." Rai simply answered. He then disappeared.
Kimiko was now very tense, as she kept her eyes and ears open. She then could sense the presence of someone's body heat above her. She then quickly leapt out of the way and landed on another tree branch, then threw a ball of fire where Raimundo just landed.
Raimundo used his wind to subdue the blast of fire then yelled, "Are you trying to burn down the forest!"
Kimiko then realized she was in a bind. She really didn't want to endanger the forest. She was then brought out of her thoughts as Raimundo was suddenly pinning her to the tree, and she was very aware of his hands holding her wrist, and him leaning into her just enough to keep her from wiggling out of his grasp. Despite her best attempts, she couldn't help the blush on her cheek's, or the sudden feeling of electricity running through her system.
"You know, if you join me and Chase, you could probably control that fire of yours a little better, and not worry about burning down the forest." Rai whispered in her ear. " Plus the company wouldn't be all that bad either."
"Screw you!" were the only words Kimiko could manage at the moment.
Raimundo pulled back and raised an eyebrow at her. He was about to speak when Chase appeared behind him.
"Having fun Raimundo." Chase asked, with amusement in his voice.
Raimundo practically jumped out of his skin at hearing Chase's voice. He then slowly turned his head around to look at Chase, and gave a nervous chuckle.
"We got what we came for." Chase said still smirking. Rai then let go of Kimiko, who only stood there.
"Kimiko, right." Chase said, and Kimiko hesitantly nodded. "Raimundo's offer stands, but be warned, training is quite rigorous. Right Raimundo." Raimundo immediately shook his head yes.
They then left, leaving only a few leaves to blow around.
'Do I want to control my powers better.' Kimiko thought. 'Wuya only taught her aim and shoot, and power, the basics really.'
"Earth to Kimiko!" Jack said as he waved a hand in Kimiko's face.
Kimiko then glared at Jack. "What did I tell you! This is not five feet!" Kimiko yelled.
Jack then took a step back and activated his heli-pack and flew off.
'If I do join Chase, at least my teammate is isn't annoying.' Kimiko thought. 'The fact that he makes my heart race isn't bad either.' Kimiko smiled then vanished in a poof of smoke.

So umm, since Raimundo is from Brazil, and speaks Portuguese, its appropriate for him to switch between English and Portuguese. Olá linda means hello beautiful, and menina means girl. So I hope you like the Raimundo and Kimiko time.:)
