As the four got off Dojo, they saw Master Fung walk hurriedly towards them.

"Quickly we must get inside," he said nervously for the first time. Inside, they looked at Master Fung expectantly. He stood in front of Kimiko, looking at her with an unreadable expression. "I though we had more time….more time to prepare, a year maybe…not a couple of days…" mumbling to himself, the old master searched the shelves that lined the wall until he found an old, worn out scroll, brown and burnt. "This is the scroll about Kimiko's power, Fire. As you all well know, she has been the fire dragon for quite some time now." Here he opened the scroll to a certain section. "Fire is the element that is the most unstable, the most destructive, and the hardest to control. Kimiko has shown a massive improvement of her control but alas, it cannot help her."

"Fungmeister, this is a joke right?" Raimundo interrupted.

"I too wish that what I am saying is false, but that is not the case." Master Fung replied gravely. He continued, "Every five hundred years, there is an eclipse called the 'Calling of Fire'. That is when the powers of a fire dragon reach its highest point. But all that power comes at a price. The dragon with the immense power will become a monster that is neither good nor heylin. They are simply on their own side, wreaking havoc on anything that stands in their way. The effects of the eclipse will be permanently lasting and like the fire that grows in a dry savanna, so will her power. Her power will become so great that she will not only have her powers of Fire but others that were to have received later on-"

Kimiko stopped him with a hand. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're telling me that I will turn into some freaky powerful being that gonna kill everyone? That's so unfair!"

Master Fung shushed her with a look, and turned the scroll until they could see the page that was half burned off. "Now the dragons before, have all been kept safe from the upcoming danger, but in the middle of the sixteenth century, the fire dragon was freed and managed to burn the part of the scroll with the information to correctly contain a fire dragon until the eclipse has passed. All we know are fragments of the information. The available information all lead to the idea that she must be encased by water. Since Kimiko's power will heighten, so will the natural aversion to water. Water puts out flames; it is as simple as that." Looking around at the speechless monks, he finished. "The other monks and I believed that we have at least a year in order to prepare Kimiko mentally and physically for this…but were sorely mistaken. The next Calling of Fire eclipse is in fact approximately 7 days from now."

Everyone had looked at Kimiko who had grown deathly pale. "So what do we do?" she asked faintly.

The dragons entered a large training area, much like the usual one that they used. Master Fung had said that each warrior would ahve their own special training. Kimiko was to work on putting protective shields around her mind, while Omi, Clay, and Raimundo was to train hard physically to have a chance at beating Kimiko if she did escape.

"I cant believe all this is to protect you against...me." Kimiko whispered to the others.

"Hey, its not yer fault that you'll be really powerful and kill everone, partner. You'll still be friend...I think." Clay tried to sound encouraging.

"Clay is most right, Kimiko, do not let your doublts cloud you from your training. I, I mean WE will be ready for whatever you will turn into." Omi said, already running through an obstacle filled with flying fireballs.

Kimiko looked at Raimundo, clearly waiting for some encouragement. For a moment, he just looked at her, then he walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Kimiko's heart began to thud so loudly that she was sure Raimundo could hear it.

"Dont worry Kim," he began, looking into her eyes, "Ill protect you no matter what." With that he joined the others on the training field.

Kimiko was just about to join the others when Master Fung called out her name from the door way.

"Kimiko, you will not be joining the others. The most pressing matter at hand is your mental strength. During these seven days, you will have moments where the fire will overpower you. To help you get ready to battle the fire within you, you will exercise your control of the mind with me." Master Fung said, beckoning Kimiko towards him.

"But what about them?" Kimiko asked Master Fung, turning to look at the three dragons starting their training.

"Do not worry, you will have time to spar and train with them later on. But right now, we MUST start training your mind." the master urged the dragon.

Raimundo quickly used a breeze to sidestep the swinging axe of fire. "Typhoon boom Wind!" He called on the wind to blow out the fire on the raining axes and used a flying kick to break the wood that attached the axes to the ceiling. He landed on the other side of the obstacle. axes and bits of wood on the floor behind him. He gave a whoop and spun to find Kimiko.

"Did you see tha-" he started to say but stopped when he remembered she was not htere. Glumly, he started his training again.

Soooooooo...How was it? Please Review!:)
