Chapter Eight

Allies

Rai's POV

We burst through the big stone door and jumped into a sea of jungle cats. Jack had brought some of his robots, Omi was trying to drowned the cats surrounding him with the Orb of Tornami, Clay was kickin butt with the Fist of Tebbigong, and I was using the Sword of the Storm like my life depended on it, well it actually did but you get the point.

I slashed a cat that was trying to pounce on me. Then what seemed like thousands of jungle cats surrounded me. They attacked by tens, I had noticed the pattern after about the fourth time, and figured out a pattern of my own. Slice the first one, kick right, punch up to hit the second and third one. Use my wind power to blow five pouncing ones away, and jump, kick, and bring my sword down on the last two. I continued that pattern for a while, but I was already starting to get worn out. The only thing that kept me moving on was Kim. I had no clue what Chase did to her, and I can't believe her father is evil! All I really know though is that I want to find her, and protect her from Chase, Jack, and her father.

After a while there were only about ten or twenty cats left. I jumped up into the air. "Typhoon boom, WIND!" I spun around in a tornado and made the remaining cats fly off into every which way. I stopped spinning and landed perfectly. I defeated my share of the cats.

Omi's POV

"Orb of Tornami!" I screamed, which distracted the advancing jungle cats around me and put them in a sea of water. Apparently these cats did not mind water and started swimming towards me, I had to think very quickly. So I jumped up into the air. "Orb of Tornami, ICE!" The freezing water combined with the regular water and quickly became a sheet of ice. I had frozen most of the cats and if some had managed, they were having a very difficult time trying to get to me on the ice.

I ran over to patch of about five. I grabbed one of their tails and flung it into another one, sending them gliding into a wall. The other three I merely had to kick them and they flew into the wall as well. I did this for a while until I had defeated the remaining cats around me.

Clay's POV

"Fist of Tebbigong!" I pounded the ground a made a mini earthquake around me. Several of the cats were thrown off their feet and into random walls, some stood their ground and kept advancing on me. "Seismic kick, EARTH!" I kicked and punched my way through a large number of them no good jungle cats until I lowered the hundred of them to 'bout twenty.

I ran as fast as I could and hurled myself towards them. Several of them lashed out at me, but I grabbed their paws and threw them into others or into walls. I did that a few times until I had defeated the rest o' them.

Jack's POV

"Come on you stupid hunks of metal! FIGHT!" I screamed at the stupid bots getting torn up out there. "Ugh, looks like I'm gonna have to fight them myself." I'm sure Kimi noticed that I had gotten stronger. I had been taking classes and working out a lot. Not just to impress her, or so that I wouldn't make myself look like a fool in front of her, or- wait wait, get to the point. But just so I could maybe actually defeat those Xiaolin Losers. Or at least the guys anyway, and I could sweep Kimiko off her feet. But change of plans. How was I supposed to know Kimiko has like a huge secret about her father and has never told anyone and we were all going to get into a fight for life or death!? Yeah, not something you plan on happening.

I stood in front of probably five hundred vicious and blood thirsty jungle cats. I raised my arms in a battle stance and prepared myself for one of the worst fights I would probably ever face. The first fifty or so launched themselves at me. I expertly dodged a few and actually counter attacked about ten, sending them into walls. I stood there with a triumphant look on my face, but it was waaay too early for that. I accidentally let out a high pitched girly scream as one pounced on me and ripped open some of the skin on my back. "Aaaack!"

I quickly reached my arms up and grabbed the cats throat. I sent my arms hurtling forwards and let go of the cat, sending it spiraling into a wall and hitting hard. I could see blood stained on the wall as it slid down. "Ew" I quickly brought my attention back to the remaining four hundred eighty nine cats. So I stood up and prepared myself to fight again. I jumped into the sea of cats and punched, kicked, and rammed myself into dozens of them.

I don't think I can keep this up. They keep getting me with their claws. All I could see around me was blood, either that or my hair was in my eyes, and now I'm just throwing myself at the cats, hoping I can beat them. I probably had about two hundred left still, but even some dude who was extremely well built and strong probably couldn't beat hundreds of vicious jungle cats! I was very proud of myself. I had cuts all over, that one scratch that was on my back was starting to throb and crust over and the pain was unbearable. But I wouldn't give up. I had to help Kimiko, whatever situation she may be in.

I rubbed the blood, or pushed my hair, out of my face and got into my fighting stance again, even though every move I made felt like heck. A few more lashed out at me and I barely escaped the first couple claws, but like I said, I don't think I can keep this up much longer. The last five or six got a hold of me and ripped the crap out of myself and my clothes. I screamed out in agony and fell to the floor. I probably would have been dead if it weren't for...

"STOP!"

ooOOooOOoo

Kim's POV

I woke abruptly, some random guard was shaking me awake.

"Huh? Mmmphh." I mumbled groggily into my pillow. I sat up slowly and a guard tossed some robe, samurai looking outfit on my bed and left.

"Does my father really expect me to wear this? Yeah, I don't think so." I picked up the stupid outfit with a disgusted look and burnt it to a crisp. "That'll teach ya."

Knock knock

Who's there? I slowly crept in front of the door and was about to turn the handle when it burst open! It slammed into my face and I stumbled backwards.

"Ooow!" I said, rubbing the red mark on my face. When I finally looked up and stopped complaining about the sudden outburst, I saw who it was.

I jumped back ten feet. "Get out of here." I hissed, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Oh, my dear loving daughter, Kimiko. It's been years since I've last seen you. You've grown quite nicely." He said lovingly. It made me want to hurl.

"Quit attempting to be sweet you evil bastard. I hate you. Just leave me alone."

"Now, I have brought you here and that is what the prophecy asks. Now," He kept ignoring me, which made me even more furious. "Would you like us to have our battle today, or tomorrow? You can choose."

"Neither, I'm not going to fight you. I don't want to be a freaking Fire Lord Goddess thing! I'm not evil like you! Pick someone else for that job."

"Even if I could I wouldn't, for you are most powerful, though you have not realized how much more capable you are of your abilities. You've never discovered your powers on the evil side. Only the good, Xiaolin side. They are much more powerful on the evil side. And You'll learn to like it, over time. Now choose, today, or tomorrow."

"Never." I growled.

"Tomorrow it is then. Four o' clock. Don't forget, and next time," He turned towards the door and walked half-way out. "Don't burn your mothers fighting outfit." He gently closed the door.

"I'm not going to! NEVER! I'll never listen to you!" My protests were drowned out by the shuffling of footsteps and other strange noises going on outside the door. "Ugh, whatever." I plopped down on my bed and pulled out my i pod, which surprised me I still had through all of these events. I put the ear phones in, laid down on my bed, and drifted off into a somewhat peaceful doze.

ooOOooOOoo

Rai's POV

The fight ended as quickly as it started, when Chase screamed for everything to stop. We all looked up from our fights and looked at the top balcony as Chase was angrily descending the stairs.

I found myself sprinting towards him at rapid speed, I don't know what came over me but I was furious towards him. Probably for kidnapping Kimiko. Yeah yeah I know Jack said she willingly went but I don't believe she would do that. But why do I care so much about this? Like, why do I care so much more then the other guys about this whole situation? Because of Kim? What about her? Ugh, never mind.

I was about to reach Chase when a very angry looking Jack ran in front of me and tried to punch Chase with as much adrenalin and anger he could muster up, but Chase easily caught it and sent Jack flying backwards into a wall, I think Jack was about done.

Now it's my turn. I flipped up into the air and brought my leg down hard, Chase teleported in a blink of an eye, sending me crashing into the floor.

"Holy cr-!"

"What are you monks, and," Chase looked disgustingly over to the now half conscious body slumped up against the wall. "that worm doing here?" He said, adverting his angry, topaz eyes towards me.

"We've come," I looked towards the guys for support. They had concerned looks on their faces. "for Kimiko." I said, stepping forward, unafraid.

"Well I was just about to go to the temple and come for the same thing. It seems as though we all want to find her." He said, crossing his arms.

I gasped. "What do you mean!? Did she get kidnapped again!? Did she leave!? What did you do to her!? She's here, isn't she? ISN'T SHE!?" I screamed running towards Chase, building up my anger all into a balled up fist. I tried to bring it into his chin but he grabbed my wrist and flung me over his shoulder. I went flying and was about to crash into a fountain, but I used my wind power at the last second to shoot air out of my feet against the statue and flying towards Chase, who had his back turned. He was starting to explain.

"No young Raimundo, I have not done anythi-" BAM! I smacked right into his back and had him hurtling towards the wall when he teleported at the last second. I stood in place, panting, and nervous, looking around every which way. He popped up behind me and started beating me senseless. I boosted myself up and tried to bring my leg down again, he dodged out of the way. I caught myself at the last second and twirled into a tornado. I sped towards Chase, but he merely reached into the whirling vortex and grabbed my arm, pulling me out. He threw me hard onto the ground, then picked me up by my neck.

"As I was saying, I did not do anything to Kimiko. I kidnapped her for her own good, I was protecting her from her father. But I do not think that went over very well. One of his guards must have snuck in and kidnapped her. She is probably at her home back in Tokyo. I hate to say this, but we must all work together if we do not want her to take over the world." He let go of my throat finally and I fell to the floor, panting, but trying to recall what he just said.

I shakily and slowly stood up. Chase stuck out his hand. I stood there, glaring at him for a minute or two, and then shook his hand.

"Alright. So whats the plan?"

ooOOooOOoo
