A/N: Don't own anything, etc.
Oh man oh man oh man...What am I gonna do?
He had been pacing back and forth for a few hours now. Wuya was used to Jack being a wimp, but this was ridiculous. At least he wasn't cradling his knees anymore...
"Jack! You've been at this for hours! You should be building robots or something!"
Rai ignored her and continued pacing. I've got to do something! But what!
Before he could continue, Wuya's eyes started glowing.
"A new Sheng Gong Wu! The Opal Origami! A powerful wu that can transform into anything you want!"
"Meh, it seems pretty similar to Chameleon-bot, but I'm sure it's really useful. Alright, let's go!"
Rai once again took the hovercraft and was soon soaring through the clouds again. If he had his wind powers he would have flown, but he didn't. Soon they arrived in Japan at an abandoned gem mine. Rai was launched out again, but was prepared and landed neatly on his feet. He searched amidst the rocks and boulders and noticed a cave. As he walked in, clusters of dirt crumbled from the ceiling, but soon it got so dark he couldn't see where he was going.
"Jack, why aren't you turning on your goggles?"
Rai felt his goggles curiously and found a button somewhere. Soon the goggles emitted a yellowish glow that shined directly on the wu, which was caught in between two stalagmites. It was shiny, colorful and in the shape of a flower. He quickly nabbed it and ran out of the cave. Rai switched the goggle lights off and quickly headed into the hovercar. The car started and soon they were zipping off back to Jack's home.
As they flew home, Wuya was oddly silent. It seemed so easy, just nabbing the wu and getting home. It was almost boring. And the hovercar was so convenient, why did Jack use it so little?
"Bing! Emergency! Running out of fuel!"
Oh right. It ran out of fuel quickly.
"Emergency landing sequence activated!"
Rai started freaking out. Alarms were ringing in his ears, and red lights flashed on and off. The hovercraft started falling fast.
After the four monks had gotten back, Omi started training vigorously.
"C'mon Omi, it's time for lunch!" Kimiko shouted anxiously.
"But-"
"Can't train on an empty stomach there, pardner," Clay added.
"Alright..." Omi walked dejectedly to the porch where they usually had lunch.
"Poor little guy..." Kimiko muttered towards Clay. "He's taking it really hard..."
"But I just don't understand! When did Jack Spicer learn martial arts that could rival mine!" Omi shouted.
Kimiko had to admit, it was really weird what Jack did, even with the Monkey Staff.
"Relax, Omi. Knowing Jack, it was probably just a bunch of dumb luck." Rai added, walking onto the porch and sitting in his spot ready to eat. Omi sighed and sat in his spot. Lunch passed silently, but soon after Dojo broke out with a rash.
"Sheng gong wu alert, people! And judging by this rash, it's probably a big one." He tossed the scroll of the sheng gong wu to Kimiko who opened it.
"It's the Opal Origami. It can transform into almost anything you want, of course with a size limit. Alright, let's go!"
The four monks hopped on as Dojo enlarged and flew off.
-)+-+(-
At the mine Dojo noticed his rash was gone. "It looks like someone has already nabbed the wu guys..."
"What, but-"
"Jack Spicer," Omi stated blandly, pointing to an impression on some nearby grass. "Something is in midair, and I will climb to the peaks of this!"
"That's up and get to the bottom...but Omi's right," Raimundo corrected. "I say we pay Spicer a visit."
"Alright kids, then get on," replied Dojo.
The hovercar fell through the clouds and right before it hit the ground it used the last spurt of energy it had to slow down. The hovercar landed safely with a plop, and Rai was soon ejected out like before, but was too nauseated to catch the landing. He landed skidding forward on his belly again and was too dazed to see where he was.
"Jack, you fool! Look what you have done!" Wuya's blurry figure shook into view. Everything moved and bended before Rai sat up and looked around. And of course he had landed in front of Chase's cave.
BOOM!
"Jack Spicer! We know you-Where is he?" Omi burst in.
The lab was pretty empty except for the mess of parts and equipment. The robots in the lab were inactive. On a giant screen was a map with a blinking red dot on it. The words Emergency Landing flashed on and off the screen. Rai was the first to notice where Jack was.
"What's he doing at-?"
"No time! He must be scheming with Chase Young!" Omi ran back through the hole they had created and the other monks followed.
"Well if it isn't Jack and Wuya. What a pleasant sur-"
"Yeah, yeah. Just skip to whatever you're gonna do to us," Jack(Rai) mumbled. Chase was taken aback at Jack's disregard of him. It was as if he didn't care.
"Well then, soldiers, attack!"
His jungle cat soldiers quickly surrounded Rai and backed him up to the end of the cliff. Rai was panicking, until he remembered the wu he had just won.
"Opal Origami!"
He transformed it into a parasail and jumped off the cliff, with Wuya following closely. The jungle cats growled menacingly as he flew off.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to squash that pathetic fly if he decides to come back." With that, Chase walked towards his cave only to sense more intruders.
"Jack! We know you are planning-" Omi once again burst. He grunted noticing the empty hovercar at the entrance of Chase's lair. "Agh! Where is that idiot now!"
"He went that way." Chase pointed in the direction Jack flew and without even bothering him a glance the monks and Dojo flew off in that direction. Now he had been disregarded twice, and once by that insect Jack Spicer.
Why am I being ignored? Am I suddenly the pathetic fly of evil! Oh, I'll show them... And without another word, Chase entered his lair and began plotting.
Jack sailed freely through the rocky landscape around Chase's lair until he came upon a forest clearing. He stopped there to rest, ignoring Wuya's bantering.
"You could've gotten yourself killed! Stupid boy! What were you thinking!"
He drank some water from a nearby stream and laid down on his back trying to think. How did he end up as Jack of all people? And if he was Jack, then who was him...er Rai?
"There he is! He's...just laying there," Kimiko pointed out. They landed and approached Jack cautiously. Omi was the first to speak.
"Uh...we are here to figure out what you are plotting! Surrender or be defeated!"
Jack simply stared at Omi before going back to his cloud gazing, puzzling Omi.
"Oh hey guys. Just staring at the clouds and whatnot," was his reply. After an awkward 10 minutes of silence, Omi sat beside Jack sighing.
"So you are not plotting anything evil today?"
"Nope."
"...Why not?"
"Well, I haven't exactly been myself lately." No kidding.
"Oh...well...goodbye then..." Omi got up to leave.
"Wait! Could you guys give me a ride home?"
Omi cocked an eyebrow and Kimiko shrugged.
"Mm...I guess. But no humorous exchanges!"
Dojo enlarged and everyone got on, no one even bothering to correct Omi.
As Jack(Rai) got off, he looked back at the monks. They were looking at him oddly.
Well, goodbye." He waved and they waved back. Jack turned around as Dojo flew off before noticing the big hole in the wall.
"Oh come on!"
Too tired to care, Jack took a quick dinner and moped about silently. He didn't want to be Jack, and he had no idea what he was supposed to do. Wuya was too perplexed to say anything until-
"Well, hello there." Out of the blue popped a spectral figure similar to Wuya, except that he was blue and had a different mask. His mask was white with a blue spiral and two black oval eyes. Jack sprang into a fighting stance once again.
Wuya was also surprised at the appearance. She had not even sensed him when he came, not to mention he was a spectral figure like herself. There was something very familiar about him, but she couldn't quite place her spectral tentacles on it.
Dojo landed and the four hopped off.
"That was...weird," Rai stated.
"Yeah...but-"
Kimiko was interrupted by a surge of some energy nearly hitting her. The air grew eerily silent, until another surge headed for Omi. He dodged with Snake Piercing Hawk.
"Young monks..." The raspy voice of Master Fung was heard to the left. He was laying on the ground having trouble getting up. Omi ran to his side and kneeled down beside him.
"Who could have done such a thing."
"In time, young monk. We must get out of here." Another surge aimed for Omi, narrowly missing him. Clay and Rai quickly ran over and supported Master Fung while dodging the surges. "I evacuated the temple but stayed here to make sure you four would be alright... But we must hurry. This temple will soon be taken over by a great evil force."
"No, we must defend-" Omi was cut off by a giant tremor and surges of energy erupting from a nearby temple. "Eep! Okay! Let's get out of here!"
The three ran quickly to Kimiko and Dojo, when suddenly Chase cut in.
"Hah! Foolish Xiaolin monks, I've come to show you-"
"Not now Chase!" Omi screamed while running. They helped Master Fung onto Dojo, and soon they were all flying off.
Chase was ignored once again! But before he had time to swear, an explosion caught his attention. He and his hiding warriors quickly ran out before the temple was surrounded by an aura of the energy.
