Review please!


Abbey felt like she was floating, her whole head pounding as something rammed into her. Then she heard yelling. She groaned in pain, feeling like she was just run over by a truck. She opened her eyes a bit to see the whole sky, the ground she layed on felt dry and scaly. She rubbed her hand against it and she felt some hair too. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes and groaned. Her feet were dangling from somewhere. She was about to slide off the scaly thingy when a hand grabbed her sweatshirt and tugged her back.

"Are you CRAZY? You'll die if you jump off this high!" She heard a girlish voice behind her say. She turned her head to see the four kids in robes, a japanese girl held onto her. Then she looked at the scaly thing she sat on. They were really high up, and the head of a dragon turned itself towards her. A scream of surprise came from her.

"Uhhh..." She said, not knowing how to comprehend the situation. Then she blacked out again. More yells were heard over the blackness and someone just got thumped on the head.

A while later

She felt someone's finger start to poke her cheek a bit. "Omi, stop. That's not nice." She heard the female voice say. Then she heard another voice speak up.

"You four may go now, I'll tend to the girl." He said. Her mind swirled with questions as she heard footsteps leave the room. "You can stop faking now." The voice said, she opened her eyes to find herself laying on a futon. An old man dressed in some sort of robe was kneeled next to her, a small tray with him and on it was a tea pot and two cups. He gave her a steaming cup of tea, which she took gratefully (hey that rhymed :D).

She let the tea warm her hands a bit, not really sure if she should drink it. "Do not worry. The tea is not going to harm you in any way." He said, and sipped is tea. She brought the cup to her lips and took a sip, she had never really liked tea, but this was delicous! She put the empty cup back onto the tray.

"Um... where exactly am I?" She asked as her eyes took in more of the surroundings.

"You are at the Xiaolin Temple." He said.

"Am I in America anymore?"

"No." Abbey blinked a bit and massaged her temples. "I know that you have many questions. But they will have to wait until the time is right. Go outside and learn of your surroundings. I will talk to you some other time." He said and stood. He took the tray away and walked out of the room. She tried to think straight, but after everything that had happened, nothing made sense anymore.

She walked out of the building and into the open air. Everything was fresh and nothing like New York. Much better actually. She walked to the training area and sat under a tree. The four kids were practicing some drills and sparring. She watched intently, seeing them flip, kick, punch, and many other moves. The dragon inched itself next to her, also watching. "Like it around here?" He asked. Abbey nodded and didn't realize she was talking to the dragon until his tail flicked her hand slightly. Her eyes widened and swallowing a scream, she continued to talk with the dragon.

"So... um... you can get really big right?" She asked.

"Why yes. Yes I can." He said proudly. Then his eyes widened and he darted somewhere quickly. Abbey was confused by this and turned her head back to their training to end up somehow tied up by some sort of tentacles. It was hard to breathe because one was slapped against her mouth. She struggled to get out of them when the bald kid ran up to her. He had some sort of comb in his hand witht the tentacles attached to it.

After the tentacles came off, Abbey gasped for breath. "SWEET OXYGEN!" She screamed, then fell back onto the dirt. Some eyebrows were raised at this. A small hand came out, which she took and helped her back up onto her feet. The short bald kid introduced himself.

"He apologizes for that. My friend Raimundo and I were sparring and he missed me, accidently hitting you. My name is Omi." He said. Then, the kid he said was 'Raimundo' walked up behind him.

"I can talk to her myself you know. Sorry about that. My name is Raimundo." He said, and offered a handshake. She took it. Then the black haired girl came up to her and introduced herself.

"It's nice to have another girl in the temple. Talking to these guys about girl stuff gets kind of awkward. I'm Kimiko." Abbey was kind of happy to see another girl as well. She hasn't seen any other girl around here besides her. Then a tall blonde boy, wearing the same robes and had a cowboy hat shook her hand.

"Howdy. I'm Clay." She released her hand and introduced herself.

"I'm Abbey. Nice to meet you all and stuff, but can someone please explain what's going on here? Dragon's shouldn't exist. Robots just attacked me yesterday, I have an extreme case of a green thumb, and I was just tangled into a comb." Questions were practically pouring out of her mouth. When she finally finished, Abbey gasped for breath.

"What? Didn't Master Fung tell you anything?" Kimiko asked, leading the poor girl away from the boys and they began to talk about numerous topics. They sat just near a small pond. Abbey watched the koi fish swirl round and round.

"This place is really beautiful, I envy you for being able to live here." Abbey said, smelling the smoke free air happily.

"Yeah well, this place really works you hard. I hated it here because of the no electronics and no civilization for miles for a while, but I got used to it." Kimiko said, twirling a little pig tail between her fingers.

"So why exactly did you guys take me here? I can't fight or do anything that special except-"

"Except?" She interrupted. Abbey touched a small sprouting flower and it instantly grew into a full bloom one. "Wow." She simply stated.

"Yeah. Care to explain? You guys seem to understand better than I do." Kimiko was silent for a few moments before she opened her mouth again. "Kimiko?"

"You have shen gong wu in your blood." She said.

"Shen gong what?"

She began to explain the shen gong wu, how they are magical items with astounding powers. Then she started to talk about they were trying to find all of them before the heylin side does, aka, that red head and that ghost she saw from earlier. It took her a while for her to take all this in. "You have the essence of growth, a shen gong wu that allows you to control plants and heal many things, pumping through your veins. I don't know how, but you are a living and breathing shen gong wu." She finished.
