Cyra POV

When I arrived back at the Spicer house, I rushed down to the basement and put the Sword of the Storm on the table.

"Well done! I'm impressed." Wuya said, pleased.

"Eh… Not bad for your first time…" Jack admitted, looking over the sword.

"So that means I get the job?" I asked.

"Alright alright, but only because you work for free." He responded, waving his hand nonchalantly, and got back to working on more of his robots.

"Yes!" I thought to myself as I exited the mansion. After all of this time and all of these years, I had finally found a way to locate Shen Gong Wu. My ancestor's before me had actually found some Shen Gong Wu in their searches, but none were the one we needed. Now, however, there was an easy way to find them, for the first time in our family's history, and there could be no better news. Now it was only a matter of time before our curse was ended… At long last.

Raimundo POV

Later when we got back to the temple, I couldn't stop thinking about earlier this morning. I was so mad at myself, losing a Shen Gong Wu of my own element… and being beaten so easily. Lost in thought, I hardly paid attention to any of the others, and basically just sulked around.

"What's up Raimundo?" Kimiko asked as I walked by, pausing the game she was playing.

"Nothing." I replied dully, barely bothering to look at her as I passed. I knew they were talking about me, but I really didn't care right then.

"Hello Raimundo, my usually fun-loving friend!" Omi started, coming up behind me in the temple courtyard. I slumped over a bit more when he kept talking, saying, "I am here to turn your frown upside and down!"

"Yeah, whatever." I said, and walked away.

He followed me inside and continued his pointless chatter, "I know your most humiliating defeat has saddened you, but still, you must take hope that one day you will be as skilled and as talented as me!"

I lost it then, and kicked him swiftly back out the door yelling, "Iyaaa!" on his way out. Omi was probably the last person I wanted to talk to right now.

I stared out the window, glaring in thought when Kimiko came up to me and said excitedly, "Check it out! Goo Zombies 2… Over 500 new levels! Wanna play?"

I knew she was trying to cheer me up… all of them probably were, but I just wasn't in the mood; only wanting to be left alone. "No." I replied, annoyed.

"You sure..? 500 levels?" She persisted, trying to persuade me to play.

"Not interested." I responded, lifting my voice sarcastically.

"Okay… But if you change your mind feel free…" She said sadly, as I walked away again, cutting her sentence short.

I leaned against a giant vase in the hall, when I heard more footsteps coming towards me. Couldn't anyone leave me alone?

"You must not dwell in the house of failure, young one, or you may never be able to leave it." Master Fung said as I turned towards him in frustration.

"I shouldn't have lost Master Fung! I know I'm a better fighter then this…" I replied dramatically, voicing my anger.

"You weren't defeated by your opponent, Raimundo." He said, with his arms in his sleeves as usual.

"Oh no? Would you like to see the impression of her boot on my butt?" I questioned, leaning over sarcastically.

Thinking too much about my sarcasm, Master Fung said, "Uh… That won't be necessary…" averting his eyes and blocking the view of my backside out by his hand.

I stood upright again and crossed my arms while looking away.

"You were defeated by your lack of knowledge. Remember, a drop of knowledge is more powerful than a sea of force." He explained, gesturing as I looked at him confused.

"Can't anyone speak normally around here…?" I muttered shaking my head.

"Reflect on these things…" He added, and patted me on the shoulder. "As for me… I think I shall try my hand at 'Goo Zombies 2.'" Master Fung concluded and walked away.

I glanced over at the scrolls and then realized what I had to do.

I studied for hours, analyzing Shen Gong Wu and different ways to do a showdown for hours, making sure I wouldn't be defeated so easily again.

"Raimundo partner, it's pretty late. Maybe you ought to give that stuff a rest…" Clay said coming up to me with a candle in his hand.

"No way. I'm going to learn everything I can about the Shen Gong Wu." I replied, continuing to read.

"It doesn't do any good to close the barn door after the horses get out…" He said.

"What?" I asked looking slightly over my shoulder.

"Never mind…" He sighed and walked away.

I didn't look up when Dojo sneezed but I glanced at him when he asked, "Remember how I thought I was only allergic to the Sword of the Storm?"

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Well… I was wro.. I was wro… ah…!" He started, and I quickly yanked away the scrolls in panic right before he sneezed. He shot up into the air in a fiery blast, and I feel over still holding the scroll and stared up at him, now stuck to the ceiling. "Wrong." He finally finished.

That morning the Shroud of Shadows revealed itself, and all of us gathered around the Shen Gong Wu scroll.

"Shroud of Shadows… Whoa." Clay read in awe.

"Why is it disappearing?" Omi asked, watching the figure on the scroll vanish and then reappear.

"Is there a problem with the scroll?" Kimiko asked.

"No," I shook my head, "This Shen Gong Wu is the Shroud of Shadows which allows it's user to become invisible!" I explained smiling.

"Really?" Kimiko asked interested.

"Very good Raimundo." Master Fung commented, pleased how much I had learned.

"C'mon, let's go." Dojo said in a stuffed up voice, and had a clothes pin on his nose. "The sooner we find that Shen Gong Wu, the sooner my sinuses clear up!" He continued, transforming.

"There's a pretty picture…" Kimiko commented, and we took off to find it.
