"Hello everyone, I am Melodie Evans looks like I'm going up next. Well I'm from Hawaii my mother is a native Hawaiian while my dad's family history comes from Germany. Well his family immigrated from Germany to america but you get the point. I am very nice and fair, but I'm kind going through a rebellious streak. Anyway I'm the Xiaolin Dragon of Sound, I think that's what the author said I was she also said something about being taught by a cheese-"
Me: "Ok, ok yeah Melodie I didn't tell you that part. That was suppose to be dramatic irony where the readers know something the character doesn't. Who told you that part!"
Yaro sneeks away real quietly, or tries before running into something.
Me: "Yaro! Ok I'll just get on with the chapter," runs after Yaro leaving a confused Melodie who gets pulled away by person no one know's yet.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For a week all was quiet, Jack didn't try to steal any Shen Gong Wu from the vault, no shen gong wu activated, a villain hadn't come to take them on, and no dragon powers awakened. It was pretty boring for everyone, except for Violet and Yaro who went through endless training, they didn't really see the boredom in training just yet. Clay and Kimiko weren't as bored but they were wishing for a little more excitement. All the gang were hanging at the training grounds, Kimiko, Clay, Violet, and Yaro decided to stop training for the day and now everyone was bored as they could be.
"Oh this is a most enventful day", Omi said with a sigh "if only we could~" Omi started but then went off to a daze. He cupped his hands and his orb glowed a light purple, with the Chinese characters for 'Voice' in black appeared.
"Guys we have a new Dragon!", Raimundo said excited.
All of them jumped in the air and shouted, "yes!", then waited for Omi to learn as much about the Dragon of Sound as possible so they could leave the temple.
"Make way kiddors make way", Dojo said as he slithered toward the group, "we've got a red hot Shen Gong Wu alert."
"Yes!", they shouted and looked to see what the new wu was.
"Its the Collar of Echos", Dojo said pulling out the scroll and showed its abilities, "when worn the user has the ability to mimic anyones voice. It also releases a super sonic screech by the user's will."
"I'll go get the crystal glasses to find teh location of the Shen Gong Wu", Rai cried with joy towards the vault. "You guys wait to see if Omi wakes out of his trance before I get back with them."
"Will do Rai", Kimiko said while playfully saluted him then all looked at Omi waiting for him to wake up.
"Wait another dragon's awakened?", asked Dojo while waving a claw in front of OMi's face, everyone nodded. "At the same time as the Shen Gong Wu?", he asked and everyoen nodded again. "And your happy about that?", everyone nodded and waited. "Good just as long as were on the same page," he said and waited with the other's.
Omi however was learning about the Dragon of Sound, first in his vision like everyone else he was floating above the world. Then a light purple light shot through space and lead Omi to the new dragon's location. He was pulled to the earth until he came to Hollywood, California. Then he was pulled to a whole new location a cliff side by the ocean. Where behind him there was a forest, and beyond the cliff was the ocean, all sorts of sounds could be heard everywhere. The chrashing of waves, chirping of birds, the wind blowing through the tree's all kinds of sounds everywhere. Omi was amazed by how many sounds there were, he almost didn't notice the new figure appear in the vision. He heard the moving of human footsteps which is what made him turn to see a teenage girl. She was about medium heigth and weight, she was also wearing a very expensive looking outfit. She wore faded jeans with rhime stones that formed a rose on her right leg, a belt with a diamond music note buckle, she also wore a pink crop top with a black mini jean jacket and wore black and pink 4 inch opened toed sandals. Her hair was short and spiked also died with blond and red highlites. She had a tannish tone to her skin and her eyes were slit yet she did not look like she came from asian decent.
"Greetings", Omi said bowing to the girl, "I assume that you are to be my pupil, may I know your name".
The girl stared at him oddly but told him, "My name is Melodie Evans."
"Oh well miss Melodie I am sure you ahve many questions", Omi continued, "but I'm afraid that as they say you will be have to wait out in the warmth for only a little longer."
"Huh?", was all Melodie could make out before OMi was then taken away by the blinding purple light. He then awoken from his trance only to meet the anxious awating eyes of his friends. This started him and he jumped back a little screaming.
"Well?", said Kimiko ignoring his actions. "Do you know who the Dragon of Sound is?"
After Omi calmed down he nodded in victory. "Her name is Melodie Evans she is currently in a place called Hollywood, California. She was also wearing strange looking clothing, they looked like what you guys called stone and roll."
"That's rock and roll Omi", Rai corrected.
"Did you say Melodie Evans?", Violet and Kimiko said in unison with hopeful looks in their eyes.
"Yes that is her name", Omi said confused. The two girls screeched gleefully and jumped in the air together like a bunch of monekys.
"Forget it guys it can't be that Melodie Evans", Rai said making the two girls slump with sad faces.
"Your right Rai", Kimiko said brokenheartily, "I mean what are teh chances of Melodie Evans musics modern day legend be the Dragon of Sound." She said rehtorically taking out a CD. Omi glanced at the CD closer and gasped.
"Kimiko I did not know you knew my pupil so dearly as to have her picture", he said pointing to the girl on the cover. For awhile everyone was silent until Kimiko grabbed the CD again.
"This is the Melodie Evans you were talking about?", she asked anxiously he nodded. "Are you sure its her?"
"I'd never forget how my student's face", he said. There was silence again for about a minute until Violet and Kimiko both squealed and jump in the air together happily.
"I can't believe the Melodie Evans is a xiaolin dragon", Rai said almost astonished and sighed. "It might be hard to get her to come with us."
"Why do you say that?", Yaro asked.
"Partner do ya'll reckon that a big star like her's gonna wanna leave fame and fortune just so she can learn martial arts and protect the world from evil?", Clay asked rhetorically which made everyone think if they would in her situation. And the answer to their perspective was no.
"Well we should still try", Violet said knowing it would be a long shot.
Rai nodded, "Oh we'll do more then try some how some way we'll get her to see reason, though it might be hard."
Dojo then grew to his full size, "Well lets go kiddos we got a Shen gong wu and a dragon to find."
"Wait a Shen gong wu has been activated?", Omi asked as he was getting on Dojo.
"Don't worry we'll fill you in on the way there", Rai said then turned to Omi again. "Ready to meet your student?".
Omi nodded full of glee, "Yes I am most excited at meeting my student", he sighed then mumbled "I just hope she won't be too hard to train considering she's a girl."
"What was that?!", Kimiko and Violet said in unison giving Omi the 'i'm gonna kill if you said what I think you said look'.
"Nothing, nothing at all", Omi replied nervously and kept all of his sexist comments to himself afterwards.
As the Gang headed for Calli, they had no idea how easy it was actually going to be. To convince Melodie to leave fortune and fame was like asking her to leave everything negative in her life.
