Hi hi! Me again.
(fights off angry mob chanting "Why did it take you so long to update?")
Sorry! Sorry. Been super busy and didn't feel like typing when I wasn't super busy so..yeah. Anyway, I updated my other story, and now I'm updating this one. If you've realized, the summary has changed because I felt that it stunk and that's why people weren't reading it.
Rachel (my older sister): Yeah well its probably not cause that. Probably cause the story itself sucks.
Me: Oh shut up! Prove Rachel wrong by reviewing, and if she's right, tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong!
I do not own Xiaolin Showdown
Chapter five
Plan gone right?
Recap
Kim's POV
We smiled at each other and looked into each others eyes, dark red meeting sapphire.
Our stare was suddenly broken when a huge crash came from the engine and we started falling closer and closer to the ground. A blood curdling scream erupted from my mouth as were about to make impact. Jack tried to run up to the pilots seat to get everything under control, but if was too late. We made impact with the ground. Hard.
I, amazingly, was still fully conscious and only had a few minor scratches and bruises. I was just shocked and scared about the whole thing. I had been tossed a few feet from the crash spot and was sprawled out on my back. I weakly lifted my head up to see if there was any sign of Jack. I could see him standing up about twenty feet away from me.
"Jack..." I scared myself, my voice sounded shaky and horrified. Amazingly he somehow heard my weak voice and looked over in my direction. The only thing he had was a gash in his arm from a scrap of metal. Other than that, he seemed perfectly fine.
"Kimiko!" He yelled over to me. I sat up and crossed my legs as I held my head with one hand. My head was spinning and a horrible headache came rushing over me.
"Ow." I managed to whimper.
Jack was only about ten feet away from me, as he came bounding over in my direction, when a huge, blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of me.
Chase Young
End Recap
Kim's POV
No! No. Why did he have to show up? I thought we were free. That maybe I could just let this day pass, and the prophecy didn't have to be fulfilled. But no. Stupid Chase just couldn't let it go.
"Get away from her, Chase!" Jack hissed.
"Are you going to make me, Spicer?" Chase asked, raising an eyebrow and taking another step towards me.
Jack took this as a challenge and launched himself at Chase. And like I had thought before, Jack had surprisingly gotten stronger. He wasn't blown away by Chase as easily as I had expected. Jack threw strong punches and every now and then he would knock Chase off balance and get a good attack in. I found this as a chance to jump in a help defeat Chase, so I launched myself at him just as Jack did. While Jack was attacking and distracting Chase from the front, I took the back. I got a good punch in the back of the head to make him stunned for a while, but he quickly recovered, as we tried to recover as well. He turned around quickly and tried to grab me, but I jumped out of the way just in time.
"Kimiko! Run! Don't worry about me! Just get out of here!" Jack yelled, while being banged up by Chase.
"But..." I was trying to fight back, I didn't want to leave him.
"Kimiko!" He looked me straight in the eyes. "Go." It wasn't a request. It was a demand. I felt a little intimidated, but a tear escaped my eye as I turned quickly, and took off in some unknown direction. Jack was being so good to me. He didn't deserve to be beaten up by Chase. I should have just let Chase take me. But I knew the fate of the world depended on it. But I prayed,
"Dear God, I know I haven't talked to you much and I know I haven't been to church in forever. But please, if you can keep Jack safe, and let him live, I promise, I'll go to church every Sunday! Please!" I pleaded and got down on my knees. "Please." I whispered.
I quickly pulled myself together, knowing I had to get on the move, stood up, and kept running. I was trying to figure out which way the temple was. But I knew that Jack and I had gotten way far away from there. Probably.
I stopped to see if I could try to find any sign of civilization. I could barley get a peek of a small looking village way off in the distance. Well, it was my only hope to get an idea of where I was. But right when I took a step, a gloved hand made its way onto my shoulder. I froze. My eyes widened as I looked up and behind me to see a smirked face above me.
I ripped away from his grasp and got into a fighting stance.
"What did you do to Jack?!" I fumed.
"I am so glad I found you Kimiko. I don't know what I would have done if I had last track of you." He said calmly, ignoring my question.
"What did you do to Jack?!" I hissed in one of the most deadliest tones I've ever heard.
"My my. Aren't we a little angry? No matter. That does not concern you as of now." He said, smirking.
I snapped. I couldn't contain that evil inside of me. It came out. My eyes began to have that eerie black fire surround them again, same thing happening to my hands. My hair started rising, as did I.
"I'll ask this one more time. What did you do to Jack?" I asked in an even deadlier tone than before.
Chase looked amazed and very happy. "You need not to worry about Spicer. He is fine. I knocked him unconscious and is laying where we had fought." He said coolly, seeming to not even be scared of that fire around me.
My eyes turned back to normal, as did everything else, and I swiftly landed on the ground, and took off the opposite direction I had been walking.
My mind kept telling my legs to run faster and faster, but my legs suddenly began running too fast for the rest of me and I fell hard on the ground, almost knocking myself unconscious.
"Ow." I sat up and rubbed my head, which felt like splitting in two. My eyes suddenly widened though "Jack!" I whispered to myself.
I shakily got up and tried to keep running. I swear I could feel Chase breathing down my neck, which scared my half to death. I kept looking behind me to find no one was there. Well surely Chase would be after me, wouldn't he? Oh well. I've got to help Jack. He helped me, I've got to return the favor.
I finally made it to a clearing where I could see Jacks body slightly stirring.
"Jack!" I yelled at him while I ran even faster.
He sat up and turned around.
"Kim!" He tried to get up, but there was a nasty gash in his leg from one of the many blows Chase had landed on him.
"Jack don't move, I'm coming." But just like what happened when Jack was running over to me, Chase did the exact same thing by appearing right in front of me with his arms out-stretched, ready for me to run into him and grab me.
I slid to a halt right in front of him, but far enough away out of his grasp.
"Get away, Chase." I seethed, mustering up a death glare.
"Kim! Get out of here!" Jack called from behind Chase.
"No! I'm tired of running! I want to fight." I said, and got into my fighting stance.
"As you wish." Chase said, arms behind his back.
This made me furious. Thinking he doesn't even have to fight!? Ugh!
I ran up to him and aimed several punches at his jaw, each one though, he blocked easily. He caught one of my fists and raised me up into the air, me being eye level with Chase.
"Chase, why are you doing this? You don't know my father! If you think you're doing him a favor and are going to get some sort of special fire attack, you're wrong. He doesn't need anyone's help in capturing me. Heck, he thinks I'm training to be evil and thinks I will willingly come to him." I said, still behind lifted by Chase.
He looked at me with his eyebrows raised. "Oh does he? Well, if you're going to act so rude to me, maybe I should deliver you to him." He smirked. My face turned to shock, and then horror.
"Isn't that what you were going to do in the first place?" I asked, trying to calm myself.
"Of course not. I was not going to let you rule this world. I want to rule it. There for, I was to capture you and keep you hidden in my palace while this day passed, so you would not rule the world, and I still will have a chance. For I know that if you do take after your father, for he almost was successful in taking over the world, that you surely would. We haven't much time. It's two pm and the ritual will be starting at four. That means your father might be sending guards to come get you at the Xiaolin Temple. Although he thinks that's where evil is trained, he will never expect you to be in my lair. Let us go." He reached out his hand, expecting me to take it. I was dumbfounded. I couldn't speak. But I caught a glimpse of Jack's confused face.
"Jack, don't ask. You'll probably find out soon enough." I said, frowning. I took the hand Chase had out-stretched for me.
"Kim! What are you doing!? You can't go with him!" Jack again tried to get up, but failed miserably.
"I'm sorry Jack. Here," I reached into my pocket and brought out my cell phone. I threw it over to him on the ground. "Raimundo's cell phone number should be number three on speed dial. Call him, tell him everything you know, and get them to come pick you up and go back to the temple. Got it? Don't let them try and come free me. Tell them I willingly went for my own safety. Tell them I'll be back tomorrow." I let go of Chase's hand for a minute and walked over to Jack.
I bent down so we were eye level. "Thanks." I whispered sweetly and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. I ran back over to Chase, took one more glance at the blushing, yet still confused face of Jack, and Chase teleported us to his lair.
Chase's Lair
As soon as Chase and I were in the middle of the big, fountain lined room we're all too familiar with, I popped a question.
"Chase, where's your library?"
He looked at me with a confused face. "Why?" He asked suspiciously.
"Because I want to find a book, duh! That's why I want to go to the library!" I said as though he were stupid.
"Yes but what kind of book?" He asked, looking down at me.
"Um...a prophecy book." I said, titling my thumbs and avoiding eye contact.
"I have searched my library up and down, there is a book on your family. But for you and the prophecy, it is blank." He said simply and turned to lead me to my room, I assumed.
"No! Just show me where your library is!" I stomped my foot and crossed my arms, determined to get my way.
He sighed. "Fine. This way." he said defeated.
I smiled sweetly and followed behind him. He took me down very unfamiliar corridors and hallways, Until he finally stopped, me not noticing as I was examine the great decorations. I bumped into his back and fell flat on my back.
"Ouch." I sat up and rubbed my back. He turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry! I wasn't uh...paying attention." I said quickly, putting on an innocent smile. He rolled his eyes at my childish behavior and turned back around to open a door. I glared at him from behind but quickly wiped it off my face as I looked what was inside that door. I got up and walked into the humongous room.
"Holy -"
"I will be back in thirty minutes," He said, ignoring my surprised look and interrupting my sentence. "as I secure the lair. When I come back, I expect you to be ready to leave and go to your room." He stated, turning around and started walking towards, shutting, and locking the door.
"You didn't have to lock it." I mumbled under my breath. Guess he still doesn't trust me. I looked at the many shelves in the room lined with books of various color. The shelves went all the way up to the ceiling, which was more than thirty feet high. At least. "I hope they're labeled alphabetically." I said to myself again. I did not want to look through every freaking book because there was at least ten thousand. At least.
I walked over to a shelf. B is what the entire section was labeled. Good. I walked along the shelves, reading the letters as I walked by them. C, D, E... I knew what was next. F Just what I was looking for. Fa, Fe, And the next is what I needed as well. Fi. I had to climb up a latter a little ways to make it to that section. Let's see...Fire Flies, Fire God, Fire Goddess, Fire Horse, Fire Kettle...Bingo! Exactly the book I needed. Fire Lord.
I grabbed the dusty, red book off the self and climbed down the ladder I was very high up on now. I brought it over to one of the many tables in the room and plopped it down on it. Dust flew out from it everywhere, making me cough and gag.
"Ew!" I said, taking the book and fanning the rest of the dust out. Finally the dust cleared and I could see and breath again.
I set it down on the table again, only a little bit of dust flying out, and opened it up to reveal the whole line of Fire Lords. I looked at all of the pictures of me great grandpas, grandpa, and then, my father. I hadn't seem him in nearly three years. He still thinks I'm training to be evil. Boy won't he be in for surprise. I turned the next page to reveal emptiness. I knew I was to be there, but I haven't become a Fire Lord, or, Lordess? Goddess? Eh...I don't care right now. But my father has the same exact book. I knew what to do with it. Only people with the blood line of the Fire Lords can reveal the prophecy and other helpful things in this book. My father had taught me how.
I placed my hand on the second blank page after my father. I focused my fire and gently let a little bit light my hand. My normal Xiaolin Fire would have burned the book instantly. But I was using that black fire again. I didn't like using it, but I had to to reaveal the prophecy. I rubbed my hand around the page for a few minutes, and then took away the fire on my hand. I lifted my hand up, and as I did so, words appeared on the page.
When the first born son,
has turned fifteen,
he shall come to his fathers palace,
from the training temple,
to prove himself worthy,
of taking the throne,
of the Fire Lord.
Father and son,
must battle each other,
until the other gives up.
If the son cannot win,
he shall be shunned,
a disgrace from the family.
A new family shall rule.
Which ever Fire Lord shall have success,
in taking over the world,
shall go down in history,
forever.
I paused as I read this. My father wanted a boy so bad, but right after the birth of me, my mother died. The Fire Lord makes a great commitment to marriage and one of the rules is you can't get remarried. My father didn't care though. He knew I would make a great ruler. I skipped to the next page to find accept ions to the rules though. because I was an acception myself. I would be the first female Fire Lord. I think Father told me I would be, the Fire Goddess, though I would not be put in the Fire Goddess book, but still in the Fire Lord book.
If a daughter,
is all the Fire Lord gets,
than that girl still must prove,
herself worthy by fighting her father.
Same rules apply.
But a female shall rule if she wins.
If she does not win,
same rule.
And another son from the next family in line shall rule.
This was the rule for me. In a few hours, I should be fighting my father. Everyone would be upset though. That my moves were not heylin, or Fire Lord, or evil, or any of that. My father would know it's Xiaolin, and punish me. Because then my fire should always be black. I knew the fire bird attack, but I don't know how to make it black. But that's good. Because hopefully Chase can keep me imprisoned here until this day passes, and I'll be safe. And I don't want to be evil and use black fire. Yup. That's all I can hope for.
The door suddenly burst open and Chase came walking over to me. "Time to go..." He looked down at the used to be empty pages that now were filled with words. "How did you do this!?" He yelled in amazement, reaching for the book but I slapped his hands away and grabbed the book.
"No!" I screamed. I looked at the pages, and took my hand over it and made the black fire again, and erased the words.
"Kimiko!" He screamed, forcefully grabbing me by the wrist and yanking me up to him. "Why did you do that!? You deliberately disobeyed me!"
"I don't have to listen to you!" I screamed back. "You're not in control of me."
"Yes you do! You're in my lair, I kidnapped y-"
"You did not kidnap me! I went willingly! I could have stopped you from doing so if I wanted t-"
"Even if you didn't go willingly I would have kidnapped you anyway! You're too weak!"
I snapped again. I wrenched my arm from his grasp and I started doing the exact same thing I did earlier only I was still on the ground.
"I am not weak. I am strong. I am the Fire Lord's daughter. You can't stop me. You're the one who is too weak." I said in a deathly tone, but no the evil demon one I had with the guys.
"Kimiko, calm down." Chase demanded coolly.
"You can't order me around!"
"Yes I can!"
I blasted a deadly black and gray fireball as quick as a blink at chase, which knocked him backwards several feet into a bookshelf. Some of books slowly disintegrated from the evil fire. Not because it was fire, but the evil magic that was in it.
Chase got up, shocked, but ran over to me and aimed several blows towards me. I blocked most of them but a fast kick came my way and smacked me in the head. I fell to the ground but got up quickly and swept Chase off his feet and punched him in the gut. He grabbed my arms, but the eerie black fire still glowing around it hurt him badly, but he still managed to throw me into a table and tend to his wounded hands. The dark fire had burned through his gloves and injured his hands. Badly. touching my dark fire was like acid. touching my Xiaolin was just like touching regular fire.
I got up from the split in two table, and saw Chase trying to stop his hands from bleeding. I took this as an advantage and snuck up behind him. I gave him several blows to the head and his back, karate chops, black fire, kick,s and my regular fire. He fell to the floor, as did I, seeing as though my black fire had just worn off and I had collapsed on the cold, hard stone floor. I wasn't unconscious, but I could barely move, let alone fight. Chase stood up and towered over me, looking as though he was unharmed.
"Next time you should listen to me. No use in fighting me. You cold never win." He said smirking, about to pick me up.
"No! I can beat you. Don't touch me. I'm fine." I was flat on my stomach on the floor. I put my hands on the floor and tried to support my upper body so I could get on my knees, but my arms were too shaky and they collapsed under me. I feel and smashed my head into the ground. "Ow." I whimpered.
Chase took pity on my and gently picked me up.
"No." I whispered weakly. I tried to punch him in the arms, but all I did was lift my arm up, and it fell back down. "No Chase. Put me down."
"I don't think you would want me to." He kept looking straight ahead.
"Yes, I do!" I managed to say a little louder than a whisper.
"As you wish." He dropped me. I fell down to the floor which was about five or six feet below me.
I made hard impact with the floor after what seemed like forever. My vision was failing me as the pain in my head and body became too unbearable. The dark corners of my eyes slowly made a curtain of black over my eyes. I passed out.
Hey! Thanks for being patient!
Rachel: Now tell her how bad it was!
Me: Yeah and tell me what I could do to improve it!
Rachel: Yeah. Nothings going to help this pathetic story.
Me: Oh shut up! I have one thing to ask y'all!
Should the pairing be:
RaixKim
JackxKim
ChasexKim
I can't believe I actually put the last one up cause I don't really like that pairing. But You guys can choose I guess. I'm not sure if it should be RaixKim or JackxKim really. In this Kim has had moments with both of them so I'll let y'all choose! Thanks!
