Chapter Two: Apprentice
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
The gang rode in complete silence almost the whole ride there. "Dojo, why don't you get a couch, or at least lawn chairs on this thing?" Raimundo complained.
"Well, I'm sorry if my back doesn't meet your sitting standards." Dojo spat sarcastically.
"I think we're here." Kimiko said.
"What makes you say that?" Clay asked.
"Because I see a sea of Jack-bots down below." Kimiko pointed out. And low and behold, hundreds of Jack-bots flew over top the trees in search of the wu. Did this scare the monks? Nope. Jack-bots were as weak as their creator, Jack Spicer. The monks flew down between the trees and Dojo shrunk down to his gecko size.
"Wanna split up?" Clay asked.
"Great idea, Clay. I suggest we..." Omi started
"Lets leave this to the leader." Raimundo interrupted while patting the bald kid's head. "I say Clay and Omi go North and Kimiko and I go South. Dojo, you can go with Clay and Omi."
Dojo slithered underneath Clay's hat and the two groups split up.
"Clay, who do you think was most deserving to be leader?" Omi asked with his head down.
"Why do you ask, partner?" Clay asked noticing Omi's weird behavior.
"Well, I think I should have been leader. I mean, I have been training all of my life. Raimundo turned against us. Also, he was the last to be promoted to apprentice level!!!" Omi exaggerated the last sentence.
"Well, honestly, little buddy. I would rather have Kimiko be our leader."
Why!?! She is a female!!" Omi screamed in utter confusion.
"Well, she doesn't fight over immature things like you and Raimundo were doing back at the temple. She is strong and independent. She knows what she's doing, and she can fight." Clay explained.
"But she is female!" Omi stressed again.
"Omi," he sighed but that was as far as he got. Ahead of them stood Jack and all those Jack-bots they had seen earlier. They were all in marching position behind Jack.
"Greetings Xiaolin losers, I Jack Spicer am going to," he paused and starred at the two. He scratched his head and then began to count on his fingers. After about five minutes of this he spoke again. "Um, isn't there supposed to be more of you?"
Clay rolled his eyes and grinned at the boy 'genius'. "Ok, Jack, lets think this through. There are four elements. Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth. How many people do you see?" Another five minutes went by.
"Two!" Jack screamed as though he was a toddler solving his first math problem.
"Good boy, Jackie. Now there are four warriors." he said holding up four fingers. "And there are two here." he subtracted two fingers. "How many are missing?" he knew from the instant it left his mouth, that he shouldn't have asked. Another ten minutes went by.
"Ok, never mind. Raimundo and Kimiko aren't here. They 're looking for the wu." Clay finally said.
"Oh, well, prepare to meet your doom, Xiaolin punks." Jack said, a slight red blush across his face.
Jack bots flied toward them. It felt like a sandstorm. They didn't know North from South, left from right. All they knew, was they had to fight, and win. They threw punches and kicks all over the place. Then, they got a small patch cleared, so they could see some grass. The two exchanged each other a look that read 'are you ready?'. They both nodded and simultaneity leaped into the air.
"Wudai Neptune Water!"
"Wudai Crater Earth!"
The ground below them rose, and the clumps of rock and dirt turned into a huge fist. Water covered over the giant fist. The fist shifted and pounded into the ground, right in the center of the army of jack-bots. The crash caused a seismic wave that either crushed the jack-bots, or sent them flying into the heavens above. The once flooded area, was now clean of every jack-bot. The two stood glaring at Jack. Jack shifted in his shoes, not sure what to do. A blush of embarrassment, and a smile of surrender across his face. All of a sudden, the ground began to shake below them.
(Meanwhile)
"If I was a mysterious shen gong wu where would I be?" Kimiko asked herself.
"Probably someplace we will never find." said Raimundo.
"Looking for this?" a voice called.
"Chase what're doing here?" Kimiko said now in a fighting stance along with Raimundo.
"Well, I am looking for a new apprentice and I thought maybe one of the Xiaolin monks might be worthy enough to qualify." he said.
"In your dreams! There is no way you are taking anyone from my team." Raimundo yelled.
"Well, if I remember correctly, you were easily persuaded last time. So, being the leader and all, I assumed your other teammates would be even more easy to persuade." Chase declared. Raimundo snarled. "But I have no intress in you, Raimundo, or the cowboy for that matter." he continued. "I already know what Omi is capable of, but I have failed to see the Dragon of Fire in battle."
"What are you saying?" she asked backing away ever so slowly.
"It means I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." he declared.
"You can't just declare a Xiaolin Showdown. Two members have to be touching the shen gong wu." Raimundo protested.
"Watch me." The sphere started to glow a golden color. It was so intensely bright, that they had to shield their eyes. "Kimiko, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. I wajor my Ying Yo Yo for your Sword of the Storm. The challenge is sparing. The first one to fall off of the platform first looses." he smirked evilly.
Kimiko looked up at Raimundo. Her look told Raimundo she was waiting for a order. She didn't know whether to accept or not. He gave her a small nod and she quickly straightened and turned back toward Chase. "I accept your challenge Chase Young." she announced.
"Very well then, let's go."
"Xiaolin Showdown!"
The ground shook and the ground rose. There was a round, smooth platform high in the sky. There was a smaller rock sculpture off to the side. On the smaller sculpture stood Raimundo, Clay, Omi, and Jack.
"Hey, how'd we get here?" Clay asked.
"Chase challenged Kimiko to a Xiaolin Showdown without her even touching the wu." Raimundo explained.
"Can he do that?" Omi asked.
"Apparently." Raimundo commented.
Chase and Kimiko were standing on opposite sides of the rock. Their glares fierce and locked onto each other. "Gon-ye-tempai." they yelled.
However, the battle didn't start off right away. They each circled the perimeter, never taking their eyes off of one another. Kimiko was the one to make the first move. She ran up in lightning speed in hopes of punching him in the chest, however it did not turn out that way. Chase grabbed her elongated arm and twisted it behind her back. She quenched in pain then remembered something very useful when fighting with boys. She reared her leg back and kicked him straight in his gentiles. He fell to his knees and Kimiko took this opportunity to kick him right in the jaw. He feel backwards as blood trickled from his mouth. But he got the strength to get back up and land a blowing kick on Kimiko's stomach. She fell back twenty feet clenching her stomach. He stood over her and smirked. "Had enough yet?"
"Are you kidding, I'm justing getting warmed up." she landed a harsh kick to his kneecaps sending him stumbling back. She took this time to pull out the Sword of the Storm. "Sword of the Storm" she called. A large tornado formed from under Chase. It swooped him up from the ground. She decided to add her own little spice to the attack. "Wudai Mars Fire!" she screamed. The tornado now became a flame whirlwind. Chase was trapped inside, chocking on the illuminating ashes. Kimiko leaped in the air and into the tornado. She gave Chase one last, strong kick that sent him out of the tornado and off of the platform.
Xiaolin Showdown Ended
Kimiko appeared on the ground, obviously exhausted, holding all three shen-gong-wu. All three of her teammates came over to congratulate her. "I must say, I am quite impressed." Chase said observing the monks.
"Not as weak as you thought huh?" Kimiko replied.
"No, not at all. In fact, you're much more." he commented with a strange look on his face. Kimiko automatically tensed.
"What do you mean?" Kimiko asked, scared at this point.
"I mean this, Tritant of Zeus!" The object in his hand sent a long beam directed at Kimiko. Once it stuck her, she was lifted off the ground, just floating in mid-air. She was glowing a bright shed of red. Then she felt a very strong headache coming on. She clenched her head and cried out in utter pain. Then the glowing stopped and she fell motionlessly to the ground, unconscious. Another large beam came, but this time Kimiko was glowing a gold color. Her body lifted again and this time, was carried over to Chase, where one of his henchmen grabbed her. They started to turn away.
"Hold on one second, where do you think you're taking her? And what did you do to her?" Raimundo called out.
Chase looked over his shoulder, not even interested enough to look at the monk. "She is coming with me. Kimiko is no longer on the Xiaolin side."
"Says you." Raimundo muttered. He ran and leaped, attempting to kick him as hard as he could in the back of his skull. However, Chase ducked and Raimundo fell to the ground. Chase laughed and walked over to his body and landed his foot on Raimundo's throat. He gasped for breath and looked up at the Prince of Darkness whose eyes were filled with as much happiness as a Prince of Darkness could have.
"Why don't you try that move out again? I don't think the results will be as pleasant." he said lifting his foot up. He walked on. Raimundo glared at his teammates with such hate it was indescribable.
"Umm, well, I am just gonna go home now." Jack said nervously launching into the air with his halo-pack.
"Congratulations guys, we just lost Kimiko." Raimundo spat sarcastically.
