Vision
Master Fung POV
3 Years Later . . .
"Did I do well Master?" Omi asked and I gave a smile and nod to the young monk.
"Very good Omi, you're doing very well with your training." I replied and he smiled brightly.
I watched as he began to run around excitedly and I watched as he ran into the apple tree and fell back. I began to shake my head and walk over to help him, until I saw an apple begin to fall from the tree and almost hit him again. I quickly caught it, but then suddenly a vision began to play in my head . . . I could see destruction around the temple ground and in the villages. Screams, tears, fire, blood, and . . . death . . .
Omi's POV
I began to stand up again and then look to Master Fung who dropped an apple. I then noticed his eyes which read the look of shock and fear.
"Master Fung are you alright!?" I exclaimed and he suddenly blinked and looked at me.
"I am afraid everything is not alright Omi . . ." He spoke.
"Did you have a vision?"
"A very dark and evil vision . . ."
"What did you see?"
"The world ending . . ."
Clay's POV
"Get along little doggy!" I shouted as I herded up the cows to the bin.
"Looks like we got a loner Clay!" Billy yelled.
"I got it!" I replied heading off to get the lone cow.
Once I reached the cow, I got my rope out and threw it to the cow and caught him. I lead him to the bin where Billy and Trevor waited for me. Once the cow was safely in the bin, we all headed inside and were greeted by my sister Jessie and my lovely girlfriend Anabelle. She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and then we all sat down and got some refreshments.
"Today was hotter than drinking hot coco in the summer." I spoke.
"Well we've got nice cool drinks for you boys right here." Anabelle replied passing us our drinks.
"Any problems today?" Jessie asked.
"None today, but there's always tomorrow . . ." Trevor spoke.
"Oh please ain't nothing gonna happen tomorrow! Not while we're still around right Clay!?" Billy exclaimed and I gave a slight now.
"Right . . ." I replied sipping my drink.
Suddenly though, I began to see something. I could see villages on fire as well. I could hear and see screams, destruction, and . . . death. I saw innocent people running away in fear, but from what. I tried to look around without this vision and suddenly my eyes widen in fear! In front of me was the Xiaolin Temple on fire and burning to the ground in ashes!
"NO!" I screamed and suddenly came back and dropped my drink to the floor which caused the glass to shatter.
"Clay, Honey what's wrong!?" Anabelle exclaimed coming toward me and placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Clay buddy you ok?" Billy asked.
"I . . . I had a vision . . . I think . . ." I replied.
"What did you see?" Trevor asked.
"Remember how I mentioned all that stuff about my past with the Xiaolin Warriors, my friends? Before I met all of you guys?"
"What about them Clay? Are they in danger?" Anabelle questioned.
"I don't know from what I saw, but I don't think they'll be the only ones in danger . . . I think the whole world might be in danger . . ."
Kimiko's POV
"Papa we've been over this already, I don't know why you keep bringing it up to me. I already said I would come didn't I?" I laughed as he smiled brightly.
"I know, but I just wanted to make sure this is something you want to do sweetie." He replied.
"It is and I wouldn't miss it for the world. This is the day exactly three years ago when we were able to save the company and keep the Tohomiko industry running. The party is dedicated to you Papa."
"And you Kimiko . . . without your help none of this would have been possible, don't forget that."
"Thank you Papa,"
Suddenly I heard a knock at the open door and I saw my best friend Keiko standing there. I went to greet her with a hug as she congratulated us both on the company. We then started to get ready for the big party tonight where all the employees and business partners will be attending to congratulate the survival of the company. Tonight of course I'd be wearing a red long dress with my hair half up and half down with beach waves. Some make up and of course red high heels.
"You look incredible Kimiko." Keiko complemented and I smiled to her.
We walked along with my father to the elevator dressed up very nicely and were all excited to being going to the party.
"I happy you are here with me tonight Kimiko, you've made Papa very proud these past three years." He spoke.
"Of course Papa anything to save your life's work and dream!" I exclaimed.
"And I am very grateful for that, but Kimiko I need to tell you something I should have told you a long time ago."
Suddenly the elevator opened and we stepped out, but Papa then stopped walking and looked right at me as I stared at him in confusion.
"What is it, that you have to tell me?" I asked as he walked over to me and clasped his hands on one of my hands.
"You've saved my dream . . . and now I want to save yours . . . You don't belong here with me or Tokyo anymore Kimiko . . . You've done enough and now it's time for you to live your other life again . . .Your dream lies elsewhere with the people you fought alongside with and cared for, for so long . . . You belong at the Xiaolin Temple . . ." Papa explained and my eyes widen in surprise.
I haven't thought about that place in so many years . . . I haven't heard from any of them in a very long time either. .. especially him . . . I did one want to go back so many times after what had happen two years ago. . . I shuddered at the thought of it and almost broke down again, but I stayed strong, since Papa was near me. I looked to him with sad eyes.
"But this is my home Papa . . ." I replied.
"And it will always be your home Kimiko . . . You need to get out of Tokyo and live the life you loved. Not stuck behind a desk and filing papers for me. You need to make better memories to replace the old bad memories." He spoke.
"I've changed though and you know it . . .! I'm not as strong or brave as I once was anymore . . .! Not after-!" I explained.
"Kimiko don't say anything else were right here." Keiko interrupted and hugged me tightly as I was almost about to cry.
"Kimiko . . . please . . . go back for me . . . They need you, I just know it." Papa said placing a hand on my shoulder and hugging me tightly.
"Thank you Papa," I thanked.
I looked to the both of them and they smiled to me as I looked at the elevator door. I gave them one last smile before going back to the elevator and going back to my room to back my stuff. Once the elevator door closed however, I began to see something play in my head. I could see the Xiaolin Temple on fire and burning by the second into ashes. I could hear the monks and villagers screaming in pain and calling for help. I could see bodies lying lifeless on the ground. I covered my mouth and tried so hard not to scream and cry by the sight. I suddenly then saw a dark figure standing at the top of the burning Temple laughing in victory.
Soon the vision ended and I fell to the ground and my eyes were still widen by the shock of what I had just saw. Oh god . . . What did I just see?
Raimundo's POV
"Read me a story! Read me a story! Come on big brother!" Elicia exclaimed jumping up and down and dragging me to her room as I laughed.
"Ok ok, I'm coming!" I replied.
Once we got to her little girly room, I picked her up and tucked her in bed and then began to read her, her favorite book "The Princess and the Frog". Once she was sound asleep, I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and exited her room slowly. I went into the living room where my brothers Carlos, Cris, and Brazil were and watching the soccer game. The cheered and scream and I had to keep yelling at them to keep it down, since Elicia was sleeping.
"You sound like a dad Raimundo, just chill." Cris spat.
"Besides you know Elicia sleeps like a rock." Brazil stated.
"At least I grew up, compared to you guys." I joked and they laughed and messed with me.
"Shut up who cares, let's just watch the game!" Carlos yelled.
Right when number 42 was about to make the winning goal on the Brazil team, I suddenly started to see a vision in my head begin to play. I looked all around and at first I saw nothing, but then I heard a screaming and when I turned around, I could see a whole village on fire and people running around calling for help. I looked all around more and noticed some bodies on the ground and I almost screamed at the sight. Once I turned the other way though, my heart nearly stopped. I saw the Xiaolin Temple burning in flames with someone standing on top of the Temple and laughing evilly. I tried to get closer, but it kept getting further and further away from me.
Soon the vision ended and I stood up right at the same time 42 scored a goal and my brothers stood up and cheered. They sat back down, but then noticed I was still standing and stared at me as my eyes were still widen in shock.
"Come on Raimundo, you can't actually be shocked that we won can you?" Cris asked, but then Brazil noticed something was wrong.
"Raimundo what's wrong?" He asked and now they all stared at me.
"I think I just saw the Xiaolin Temple on fire . . ." I spoke and they all looked at each other and helped me sit down.
"Ok well maybe you were just seeing things?" Carlos suggested.
"No . . . It looked pretty real to me . . . Something not right . . ."
"Then maybe it's time you finally go back." Cris said and everyone turned to face him as he continued.
"Look I know you've been trying to take care of all of us after mom died, but maybe it's finally time you go back to the one place that brought you true happiness and freedom. Brazil is already 21 and two years older than you and Carlos is the same age as you and Elicia and I are the youngest, but we can handle things ourselves. Bro you've been gone way to long . . ." Cris said for the first time that was actually wise.
"I'm so proud of you little brother, you're growing up so fast!" Carlos messed around and Cris just shrugged him off as we all laughed and then suddenly Brazil placed a hand on my shoulder.
"There's nothing left for you here Raimundo except for bad memories . . . You need a fresh start after what happened two years ago . . ." Brazil reminded me and I clenched my hand into a fist.
"Yeah . . . I need my old life back . . ." I said and they nodded.
"You've got your back bro," Carlos stated.
"Thanks guys . . ."
