Chapter 16

The Dragon Of Mind

"Dojo, when is there going to be another Shen Gon Wu?" Lu Lu whined.

"I don't know! We should be looking for the missing warriors." Dojo said.

The monks were sitting around the table, eating.

"Well, I've been checking every new around the world. I found a couple that might be the dragons...The first one was in Germany, the second in Canada, the third in Africa, then Ice Land, Europe, France, Italy, Austria, more and more. Where to first?"

"I've always wanted to go to Italy." Lu Lu said.

"Italy it is!" Rai said.

In Italy...

The buildings were high, and many people were on the street. There was even little boats going through the waters.

"So who are we looking for, anyways?" Rai asked.

"Some thirteen-year-old called...Leon. He has black hair, usually wears purple." Kimiko said.

"Great, we're looking for a freak." Rai sighed.

"Your calling me a freak?" Said a voice in Italian.

The monks turned around, and saw a young bot with short black hair in a black shirt with a purple coat, and longs purple pants with black boots. His eyes were purple.

"Um..I don't speak Italian, guys." Lu Lu said, backing up in fear.

"Wait a second, if he knew what he said, then he must know English!" Kimiko said.

"Yes, but not much, I'm afraid." Leon said. "Now what do you need?" Leon's voice turned harsh, despite his charming looks.

"You have strange powers, don't you?" Omi said.

"Are you people here for another interview? I'm done, I told you!"

"No, you have great powers that need to be used for good to fight evil. You are one of the missing Xiaolin Warriors." Omi said.

"What? This is another trick. Nice try!" Leon scoffed.

"If you do not believe me...Water!" Omi yelled, and moved the water, twisting and turning.

"Ice!" Lu Lu yelled, and the water turned to ice.

"Wind!" Rai said, and moved the ice and made it into tiny pieces.

"Earth!" Clay said, taking stone from the ground and combined it with the ice.

"Fire!" Kimiko yelled, and the stone and ice melted.

Leon's eyes widened. "Hm..." He closed his eyes, and held his hands out. The melted stone and water levitated. But Leon clutched his head. "It is...very hard to do what I do. Since I have no home, but sleep with anyone who will take me, I shall join you."

"Great! We'll explain everything to ya, partner." Clay said.

At Jack's Basement...

"Wow, Jack, we're allowed to steal?" Darcie asked, holding an armful of Shen Gon Wu.

"Duh! We're evil aren't we? And we barely have any Shen Gon Wu." Jack replied.

Darcie and Jack dropped the Shen Gon Wu on the table.

Wuya emerged from the shadows. "Jack! I sense a Wu! It is called...the Circus Ball!"

Jack laughed. "Really?"

"Yes! It is so big and heavy, it'll crush anything in it's path!"

"Whoa..." Jack said.

"Well then. We gotta go get it!" Darcie said confidently. "But...where is it?"

Where The Monks are...

"So...this is my first challenge?" Leon asked. They were all traveling through a forest.

"I guess so. I had my 'first challenge'." Lu Lu said.

"Anyways, what's this Shen Gon Wu called?" Kimiko asked.

"It's called the Circus Ball. It's like being a clown, but your on this big ball and you get to crush stuff." Dojo said.

"Exciting." Leon said with sarcasm. "Now, what are these other...Shen Gon Wu about and what do they do?"

"You'll just have to see for yourself, partner." Clay said, as they continued to walk deeper and deeper into the forest.

Back To Jack...and Darcie and Wuya...

"Hey, look, a circus." Darcie said, pointing out the bit, colorful tent meters ahead of them.

"Ah, this is where the ball is! Matches the theme." Wuya said.

Darcie stopped. "Do you hear that?"

"What?" Jack asked with a scared squeal.

"Um...I swear I heard horses!" Darcie looked behind her and saw no horses.

Back to the Monks...

"Look, a circus!" Lu Lu said, pointing to the big, giant tent.

"I guess this is where the ball is." Rai said.

"Yeah, but what's a circus doing in the middle of a forest?" Leon asked.

"You should ask that." Said a voice from behind. Everyone turned around.

"Milah! What are you doing here?" Omi pointed at me.

"No worries. I'm not here for the Shen Gon Wu." I said calmly.

"Who's this?" Leon asked.

"It's a no good, rotten traitor." Clay said.

"Being a bit harsh there, huh?" I said. "But, anyways, I came here to see you guys. Besides, I was wondering the same thing."

"What? About the tent?" Kimiko asked.

"Yup. I felt a very...dark force here...But I assume you guys could take care of it. Besides, you are the great Xiaolin Warriors." I said, and went back into the darkness.

"That girl disturbed me." Leon said.

"Agreed." Kimiko said, shaking.

"Hey, while you guys were talking, I heard and saw some things." Lu Lu said. "Jack, Darcie, and Wuya are over there and they went into the tent. But I heard horse steps. Now are we gonna go or are we gonna sit here and sip tea?" And with that, they went off into the tent.
