Chapter 10
The Arrival
I yawned. Good morning! Might as well get up...
I got dressed, and went outside. It was cold and damp! The bamboo sticks around me gave ghastly shadows.
Odd. It's never this scary unless on Halloween...
Suddenly, a wave of ominous strength hit. I fell back. "Ow...oh no. Could..." I groaned, and started toward the Xiaolin Temple.
At The Xiaolin Temple...
The sky was dark and dreary, but there was no rain yet.
As I went closer to the entrance, I saw Omi with the other monks...and one more person.
I decided to go toward the wall and peek over it.
Who I saw made me fall down that very wall.
It was thee...
I speed walked into the entrance. "Master Monk Guan! What are you doing here?" I bowed.
He bowed back. "It is nice to see you too."
Omi's eyes grew big. "You know Master Monk Guan?"
I nodded. "Long story...very long...Anyways, what are you doing here?"
"Just to say a hello to the new generation of dragons, since I was one once." He replied.
I nodded my head in suspicion. "Uh huh...And...um..I came here to see Dojo."
Dojo poked his head out from a building. "Really? At least someone treats me right!"
"And the other monks..." I said under my breath. "And what's with him?"
The monks shrugged.
I chuckled. "I better be going then. I'm going to the beach today." And I left. Of course, I was going to the beach today. That's where they were going to be going. But, the other monks were puzzled. It looked nasty outside.
After I left, and the monks had to do something...
Dojo sighed, and continued to eat his troubles away while watching the violent wind.
Master Monk Guan entered. "Ah, Dojo, what is the matter?"
"I'm always unappreciated, unloved, overlooked..."
"I see you have great potential, and I have never seen such an intelligent dragon. In fact...I know someone who would really appreciate your talents.
Somewhere...
"I'm glad you are enjoying your meal." Said a strange voice.
Dojo was sitting in a circular room, eating to his heart's content.
"Oh, yeah I am!" Dojo said, stuffing another chicken leg in his mouth.
"Also, I have something very...special for you."
"Well, I'd hate to eat and run-" The voice snapped their finger's and lions came, making sure Dojo wouldn't go away.
"It's your choice...unpleasant or pleasant experience."
Back At The Temple...
"I cannot find Dojo anywhere!" Omi said, worried.
"I think he may be mad at us..." Clay said.
"I hope he's OK..." Kimiko said.
"It'll be difficult for Dojo to not show up when a Shen Gon Wu reveals." Master Fung said.
"But how will we know when one will?" Rai said.
Kimiko smiled. "No prob! All we have to do is stick a tracking device on Jack vehicle."
"If we had one!" Rai said.
Kimiko held up a small device.
At The Beach...
Ah, a fatal moment.
The sky was dark and threatening, lighting was going off but there was no rain. My hair blew in the wind.
I saw the monks arrive in one of the Shen Gon Wu, and Jack arrive in a...Jeep.
And I also saw...
I saw the monks and Jack argue over the Monsoon Sandals, while I saw him watching.
I decided to walk over.
I dodged a falling Jack on the way, and saw him there. This is gonna get good.
All I did was stay quiet.
Jack's eyes shined, and he gazed in awe.
"Please to meet you." He said, leaning over Jack.
"NO WAY!" Jack said.
"Who is this?" Omi and the others asked.
"It is thee Chase Young." I said.
"Precisely. And I haven't seen you in ages...I still thought you were dead." Chase said back.
I shrugged and smiled. "I'm here in the flesh." I looked down and say Dojo. Strange.
Omi saw him too. "Dojo! We missed you!"
"Are you sure my 'big bones' wouldn't of slowed you down?" Dojo said.
"Aw, is that why yer mad, partner?" Clay asked.
"Your one of us, dude. We're sorry." Rai said.
Dojo's eyes watered. "You do? I would go back but...I've been traded..."
"Traded? By whom?" Omi asked.
"Master Monk Guan..."
"This cannot be!" Omi said, with mixed emotions.
"That is where you;d be wrong, my naïve young Xiaolin monk." Chase said.
"Unhand Dojo at once, or suffer a defeat!" Omi said, with great confidence. He was so..stupid. Didn't know what he had gotten into...
Omi launched at Chase, but Chase deflected all the moves Omi used.
After many tactics, Omi yelled: "Monkey Strike!"
Surprisingly, Chase yelled: "Repulse The Monkey!" And Omi was sent flying
The fight was over.
The Monks somehow met up with Master Monk Guan...
"How could you do this? You were such a great Xiaolin Warrior." Omi asked. He, the other monks, and I were there. Nothing like a good, old fashioned guilty talk!
"I am not the warrior I once was. I had lost my Spear of Guan in battle against him...But Chase Young gave me the chance to get it back."
"If you gave him Dojo...Master Fung once said that the weapon does not make the warrior strong, but the warrior himself." Omi said.
"I cannot help you...but I will show you how to get to him castle." Guan said.
"What does he want with Dojo anyways?" Rai asked.
"Chase was once on the side of good." I said. My voice turned into anger and hatred. "He traded his soul for a potion that gives him immortality and power...but at a cost. And the main ingredient to that very potion is...Dragon. He gave up almost everything..." I shook my head and smiled. "Well, good luck with that."
"We must defeat Chase for the Spear of Guan!" Omi said.
In Chase's Castle...
The monks and I ran through the gate, and saw Dojo in a cauldron of soup!
Chase appeared, and smirked. "Welcome."
"Give up Dojo now!" Omi demanded.
Chase chuckled. "Heh..." He hunched his back, and he turned into a horrible creature. Just like...
The monks got into action.
"Star of Hanabi, fire!" Kimiko yelled, shooting fire at Chase.
Chase deflected back with his tail, and Kimiko fell down.
"Sword of the Sword, wind!" Raimundo said.
Chase inhaled the wind, and blew it back, making Clay and Omi fall down as well.
Chase laughed at this victory,
"I wouldn't celebrate just yet!" Master Monk Guan said. "Chase Young, I challenge you to a Showdown!"
"Wow, a regular showdown. That's unusual." I said.
"The wager will be...the monks and Dojo." Guan said.
"If you lose, you will forever become my servant. I accept." Chase said.
The fight was epic! The moves could not be duplicated...
At first, Guan was starting to lose.
But Guan used his spear, and deflected Chase.
The battle raged on and on...
When Guan got a good hit, Chase fell by a spike that was on the circular floor, but Chase pulled on the spike, and mirrors came upon the floor.
Guan moved through the maze, looking for his opponent.
Chase secretly launched at Guan, but Guan countered by throwing him at a mirror!
Chase got up, and was about to attack when..
Master Guan yelled, "Repulse the Beast!"
Chase flew through the maze, cracking all the mirrors, defeated.
Chase got up, and returned to his normal form.
He mirrors were gone, leaving glass on the floor. The monks ran up to Master Monk Guan to congratulate him.
Chase bowed with a steely face. "I am certain our paths will cross."
Omi and Guan bowed. They all left...except me.
I turned to Chase. "Nice to see you again. We need to talk." I smiled.
"Certainly."
