Omi had been acting strange and the others noticed, he wouldn't train for as long as usual and would often hide to get out of it which worried the group deeply. They would often find him dozing off behind the main temple or tucked into his futon with Master Fung watching over him occasionally checking for a fever. He'd push himself to fight in battles but they've lost many Shen Gong Wu because he either fainted or lost all function of his limbs, he didn't have fever though. He didn't seem sick no fever, no nausea, no cough, no headache, no stomachache, nothing just tired. That is until today, when Raimundo got up early needing a drink and found Omi laying passed out on the floor of the main temple running a fever hot enough to melt lead. Now he's laying in his futon soundly sleeping with Master Fung sitting next to him occasionally swabbing the sweat off the young monks forehead.
"You think Omi's going to be okay?" Kimiko asks breaking the eggs for today's breakfast.
"I'm sure the lil buddy just caught a cold. Ya think we should make 'im some grub?"
"May as well..." Raimundo starts. "We'll just bring it to him, he must be hungry, right?"
"Yeah." Kimiko agrees. "He didn't eat that much at dinner."
The group continues to make breakfast talking about their worries for their ill friend, it isn't like this is the first time they've seen him sick. He's had plenty of colds and they've even suffered through some cases of the stomach flu but at least when he had that Master Fung would have him taken to his room to sleep and be taken care of. This time it felt different though, he didn't have a cough nor did his health slowly decline it just dive bombed to the point of him passing out. Master Fung didn't seem as worried as the others, although he stayed with the child he seemed rather calm for how sick he is. When they finish eating they bring a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and and hash browns.
"M-Master Fung?" Kimiko studders making the old man turn around, Dojo is wiping the sweat from Omi's forehead. "How is he?" The old man shakes his head.
"His fever's gotten worse."
"Do ya think he could eat?" Clay asks gesturing to the plate, Master Fung tugs on his beard before shaking Omi awake.
"Mmm... aaassssteerrr?" He asks finding it hard to get the word out.
"I'm here, young one, do you think you can eat?" Omi weakly shakes his head before muttering an apology. "It's alright," He says patting Omi's head. "but do you think you can try? You must have nutrients." He says helping Omi sit up as the young monk nods, Master Fung takes the small bowl and hands it to Dojo. "Have him eat as much as you can." He turns to the other dragons. "I must speak with you three out side come." Without a word the three Xiaolin warriors follow their master to the garden, he stops and turns around to face them.
"Is it about Omi?" Asks Kimiko.
"A new Shen Gong Wu?" Asks Raimundo, Master Fung shakes his head.
"I have figured out what is making young Omi so sick."
"What is it, Master Fung? Why he's sicker than my uncle Tim after Thanksgivin'." Clay says earning a slight glare from Kimiko.
"A new dragon has earned their powers, much like Dojo with Shen Gong Wu Omi can feel when a dragon has gained their elemental powers." The three look at him in surprise.
"A new dragon, are we being replaced?! I thought we had all the dragons!" Raimundo shouts.
"Calm yourself, Raimundo, there is still one element that we lack, the one I had hoped would not revel its self." He reaches into his sleeve and pulls out a scroll, he unravels it and reads it aloud. "The dragon of lightning, he is the most powerful but the most likely to be Heylin, this power is extremely hard to control and can lead the host becoming possessed by the power and turning on their comrades."
"But why is Omi so sick? I don't understand." Kimiko says still as confused as the other two, Master Fung sighs.
"The power of lightening is unstable as is water but since Omi grew up here with me I was able help him control. Water is unstable because how much of an impact it has of life its self, so after the first time he lost control I had to seal away some of his power." Raimundo steps forward.
"Seal, you mean...?" Master Fung nods.
"Yes, Omi's power is actually much weaker than the rest of yours, that is why he is such a skilled fighter. But I can only seal away the power of an infant whoever the dragon of lightening is..." He trails off as Dojo slithers to the group as fast as he can.
"Master Fung! Omi's stomach is rejecting foods and liquids, he can't keep anything down and he's in a load of pain!"
"Dojo, get ready to leave, you three come help me with Omi." The three follow Master Fung as he starts to fast walk to Omi. "We must find the dragon of lightening."
"Why?" Raimundo asks. "By the sounds of things they don't really sound good to have on the team."
"We need to find them, if we don't Omi will die."
"But why? Why is this person so important?!" Kimiko shouts slightly panicked.
"Because of the connection with their powers if one is too far away from the other they both will die, along with the fact that the dragon of lightening must be having a build up of power since he doesn't know how to release it they may be in the same condition as Omi."
He enters the small temple to see the poor little child moaning in agony, he's curled up in a ball gripping his chest as tears roll down his cheeks. Master Fung picks him up, whispering confuting words into his ear as he walks fast to Dojo, he's first to get on, then Kimiko, then Raimundo, and then Clay. Dojo takes off into the sky, Master Fung explains that Omi will get worse the closer they get or even mutter where the dragon is. They fly around uselessly until Master Fung feels Omi completely relax in his arms and stop moaning, the other dragons start to panic until Master Fung starts to talk.
"Calm down, he just passed out... he's breathing."
Inside Omi's mind
Omi wakes up to see a boy sitting not to far from him, his robes are black and he has a red sash around his waist, he's wearing black pants.
"You may want to stand up." The strange boy states, Omi looks at his hands which are now covered in an odd goo.
"Ugh!" He exclaims springing to his feet and shaking it off, the strange boy chuckles before standing up and turning to Omi, it's himself but his gray eyes are now blood red. He has a wicked smile and his eyes are wide with murderous intent.
"Nice of you to come."
"Who are you, handsome young man, and where I?" He asks confused, the child chuckles again.
"We're in your head, you took yourself out of your body to avoid the pain." Omi nods remembering that Master Fung had done something slimier when he entered the Ying-Yang world.
"But... who are you?" He asks once more, earning another annoying chuckle.
"Well... I'm you, a more... powerful you. I'm your Heylin side, don't panic everyone has one." He says extending his hand to shake Omi's, Omi narrows his eyes but shakes Haylin's hand.
"Haylin power will never surpass Xialoin." Haylin smirks.
"You don't remember when I was in charge? When I called the shots? I kicked so much more ass than you and your goody goody ways." Omi flinches hearing someone swear in his own voice, he quickly lets go of Heylin's hand.
"I-I remember... it depends on how you use it... who you are." He looks into Heylin's eyes. "Just because you are stronger in body does not mean you are stronger in heart!" Heylin laughs hugging his stomach and wiping away tears.
"Oh..." He starts, calming down. "Oh... you're fucking funny. Now I don't want us to die so..."
"Why would you die?" Omi interrupts.
"WE would die. So I need you to..."
"WE?! I do not want to die!"
"You're not going to if you listen to me! Damn... look if you don't want to die I need you to wake up and say Tokyo."
"Tokyo?"
"Tokyo... and stay awake until they find the right hospital." Heylin says rubbing the back of his neck, before he slaps Omi across the face causing his to let out a loud gasp before waking up, he felt so bad. So tired, it's hard for him to keep his eyes open but he fights through nausea and tugs on Master Fung's shirt.
"Yes, young monk?" He asks getting closer to hear Omi.
"T-T-T..." He trail off before going into a coughing fit. "T...o...ky...o..." Master Fung looks up.
"Dojo, fly to Tokyo!" He looks down at Omi and presses him to his chest. "Don't worry, you are going to be fine."
