Hey and we are at chapter 16! Boy, I swear I owe all my success to you readers, you've been really great and supportive. I didn't think many would like it considering that a lot of people have made fanfics with new dragons. I knew I had writing talent but all of your comments and reviews make me feel absolutely amazed at my own talent. I never thought that it would feel this good having people tell you they love what you write, and want you to keep going. I thank all of you for your support, its because of you that I am pushing myself to keep on going, now lets get back to the Xiaolin gang shall we?
Everyone: *Claps at speech even chase young (though blankly).
Me: *takes bow and makes peace sign*, well lets get on with the chapter!
_________________________________________________________
Raimundo, Aurora, Wuya, and Hannibal all gathered at what was suppose to be the starting point. Wuya and Hannibal glared at the Golden Tiger Claws knowing he had the advantage. Hannibal got out of the armor and used the moby morphor to make himself grow the size of Wuya. Aurora stared at him awestruck at his real form.
"Wait so he's really a bean?", she asked pointing at him. Rai nodded. "I thought it was just his name not that he was an actual bean, wow evil beans what is this world coming too?".
"You gonna talk or are you gonna fight?", Hannibal said annoyed. Everyone prepared themselves then after a moment of complete silence they dashed straight to the transformed school building. There looked to be now twelve different floors and they had to climb up each one. Rai jumped to the next floor with ease, and by Aurora's surprise so did she. As if by instinct she pulled out the coin she had been given and shouted , "Mantis Flip Coin!", she then jumped and did a mid-air flip to where Rai was shocked. She smiled and gave her a thumbs up as he prepared to jump again, and quickly for Wuya and Hannibal were in the lead by one story. This went on till they reached the 9th story only three more to go to get to the bell, the whole time Rai had watched Aurora and was amazed by her determination and will to win. She was following her instincts this whole time she knew what would happen if they losed and was not readyto give up at any time.
She was doing great but Raimundo knew that they had too much to risk so by the 10th story he pulled out the golden tiger claws ready to use them. "Golden Tiger Claw~", he was about to shout until out of no where Ying Ying came and snatched them from his hand. "NO!", he shouted seeing Ying Ying handing them over to Hannibal who smiled his wicked smile at Raimundo.
"Well looks like were about to win", he said putting them on his tentacle and about to use them also. "Golden Tiger", was all he got when Rai using as much power as he could at that moment flew right into Hannibal knocking him down off the tower, but he used too much and hanged onto the roof with dear life.
"Raimundo!", Aurora called and ran to him worried, but he waved her off.
"Go!", he shouted, "you can still win this. You cant afford to lose."
"But she's almost there", Aurora said seeing Wuya make it to the 11th story. "There is no way that I~"
"Listen you should never give up", Rai interuppted. "A Xiaolin Dragon fights till the very end, do you want to go to their side and be our enemy?". INstinct told Aurora to shake her head. "Then go and fight you can win, just use the power of your inner warrior. Your inner Dragon it is what has been saving you all this time. Leading you guiding you listen more clearly and you will win."
Aurora couldn't say anything this whole time she had just been letting her body to the work, but she realized that she herself also had to fight. Her freedom was on the line, in England or not she was still an American citizen and if there is one thing americans are known for its how they fight for their freedom, and rights. Determined Aurora clutched both of her fists and focused listening for her inner Dragon.
Time seemed to stop for her, as she deeped in and out slowly. Suddenly she found herself in a beautiful meadow with all kinds of flowers and the sun shining up ahead but not too far was a black and dark purple dragon. It looked like the kind from Chinese legends and paintings for some reason Aurora seemed to not fear the dragon at all.
Are you my inner dragon? she asked mentally. The dragon nodded and responded.
I am. The voice was female it was very beautiful and it seemed to be filled with so much wisdom that Aurora was seemed reassured.
What should I do? she asked the dragon. People are after me and keep calling me the Dragon of Darkness. But I am the exact opposite of someone who is dark, they must have the wrong person but something is telling me that they are not lying. Why? Why am I stuck in this whole situation, why is it me?
Why any of us? The dragon said as soon as Aurora got out what she wanted to say. Destiny works in strange ways, it doesn't have to be you it just ended up being you that's how it works. You just seemed to be more suitable for such a destiny that fate chose you to bear this great responsibility. You said you are nothing like the dark, but tell me is darkness evil?
Yes! Aurora said without thinking but then after a long moment you thought about it and said no. No its not evil for without darkness we wouldn't have the stars or the moon, we wouldn't have shadows we wouldn't have anything. There would be nothing but just emptiness without light and darkness corressponding with each other. Darkness keeps things hidden secret but that isn't a bad thing, some things have to be put in the dark so that something precious and sacred cannot be found. Sometimes we hide in darkness to escape from terrorfying things. Darkness doesn't have the ability to control who uses it, anyone can because of this that is why people give it its bad name. Darkness is not evil and those who use are just following intincts nothing more.
Exactly said the dragon who's eyes brightened. Just because Darkness hides doesn't mean its a coward, it just means its clever. Darkness reveals the most beautiful of lights and it shines during the day. Light and Darkness cannot not exist without the other they are equal. You my dear girl are not a bad person you are not evil just because so many of those who follow evil ways use it the most doesn't mean it can't be used for good. Darkness does not belong to them, prove it to them by choosing your own path. Win your fight I know you can.
Its you! You've been helping me the whole time. Aurora said knowing this feeling with the dragon it was her instincts.
But the Dragon shook her head. No my dear, I only have experience I harbor your inner strength and powers. You my dear have the talent its been you all along, never forget that you control your path in this world overall and so only you have the power to do so.
Aurora awoke from her trance to find Wuya on the 12th story and only one leap away from the bell. But she didn't panic for she knew that she could still win. It was night time and it was here that her element was at its most powerful. She focused all her power all her strength on the target as she focused Rai could see a swirl of black and purple aura surround her but it soon disappeared as she straightened her back took three steps back and ran.
The with all her might focusing all her strength she leapt in the air pulled out the Mantis Flip Coin focusing her very power in it. "Mantis Flip Coin!", she shouted and flew through the the past the two stories and landed right on top of the bell tower. Wuya who was just 3 ft away from gasped from the shock at seeing Aurora appear out of nowhere.
Aurora smirked and in the blink of an eye grabbed onto the rope of the bell and swung around it ringing it and kicking Wuya right off the building all at the same time. Wuya screamed and as she screamed the whole scenery changed back to normal just as she landed right on top of Hannibal. (Who just got up but then was trampled by Wuya). Rai looked at the groudn below him to find that he could easily touch the ground now.
Quickly he let go of the corner of the building and landed perfectly on his feet. All the stolen Shen Gong Wu then appeared in his hands including the Golden Tiger Claws.
Inside the building quickly came back to normal and the students were waking up confused by a lot of things. Melodie and Omi snuck out of the building so that no one would notice and think that everything was just a dream.
Kimiko, Clay, Violet, and Yaro ran towards Raimundo congratulating him and Aurora on there victory.
"All right Rai!", Kimiko shouted and hugged him tightly. "You and Aurora did it! That was unbelievable! Aurora sure has some talent".
"Uhh speaking of Aurora where is she?", Yaro asked. Everyone looked around wondering where she went they looked at the top of the building but she wasn't there she had disappeared they started to worry when all of a sudden her voice came out of nowhere.
"Ring of Shadows!", she said then appeared right in the middle of all of them they all gasped and fell backward at her sudden appearence. Aurora laughed. "Hey they kept saying this was called the Ring of Shadows so I decided to see if it worked like that coin you gave me, it works differently but hey it works."
She laughed again seeing their shocked agaped faces, they quickly got up and soon OMi and Melodie joined the rest of the gang asking how the showdown went. But they then saw the Shen Gong Wu pile and Aurora laughing and knew that they had won. Melodie hugged Raimundo just liek Kimiko and OMi congratulated them. Everyone was happy until Aurora asked the golden question.
"So would you guys mind telling me what is going on here?" Making everyone cease their cheers and having to get all serious again.
"Its gonna be a long night", Violet said, as Dojo popped out of Clay's hat and asked.
"So what did I miss?", everyone groined.
"I very long night", they agreed in unison making Aurora only chuckle once more having a feeling that her life had just gotten a little more interesting then she would have wanted it too.
