A/N I know the chapters aren't huge, but I figured I could upload smaller chapters more often than larger ones. Please leave a comment letting me know if you's prefer it the other way around! Thanks x
The monks sat on Dojo's back, rubbing their faces and eyes in an attempt to wake themselves.
"Dang. Shen Gong Wu know how to pick their moments, huh?" Clay yawned.
"Yes." Sighed Omi, "It can be most irritating. But we must not lose sight of our responsibilities." As he continued, Rai rolled his eyes and nudged Kimiko to show off his silent impersonation. Crossing his legs over one another, folding his arms and closing his eyes, Rai mocked Omi's speech. "As Xiaolin Monks, we must collect each and every item of Shen Gong Wu and protect them from the forces of evil. You have all been working very hard, and I shall soon have little else to teach you…"
As he rambled, Kimiko – now having enough of Rai's imitation – elbowed Rai in the stomach, almost sending him plummeting off of the safety of Dojo's back. "We know Omi. It's just been so long since one has revealed itself. Early morning searches were unexpected."
"Yeah," Raimundo groaned rubbing his stomach and glaring at Kimiko, "what are we even looking for anyway?"
Kimiko removed her backpack and pulled out the Ancient Scroll of Shen Gong Wu. Pulling it open, the group leaned in to observe the moving images as they described the Wu. Clay scratched his head, "The Gem of Gen?" He asked no one in particular.
"Grants the user all knowledge of the surrounding area, time, people and general world." Omi read. "Logging the most relevant and important information in the front of your mind."
"Hm. That's it?" Rai scoffed. "How's that gonna help?"
"What if Spicer got a hold of it?" Clay grunted.
"Yeah!" Kimiko joined, "let's just let him have all knowledge of our fighting techniques, temple and locations of all Shen Gong Wu! Sounds great!"
Omi looked serious. "Oh yes. Fighting us would be as easy as shooting fish with a bag."
"Fish in a barrel, partner."
"That to."
Rai relented. "Well… I guess we should get it then. Whatever."
"W-W-W-We're…h-h-h-h-here." Dojo announced, shaking all over, as he landed by the top of a large mountain.
"Already?" Kimiko asked as they climbed off his back and onto the snow covered ground. "It's only been like, five minutes."
"S-so?!" Dojo barked. "Pfft! Wha- What's so unusual about- There are Shen Gong Wu in China too, y-ya' know!"
"Geez, calm down Dojo, she's just askin'." Rai looked down from the summit. "So uh… Down or up?" Clay grabbed his shoulders and turned him to face what the other monks were now staring at.
A gigantic, golden, glistening temple stood just a little further up the mountain. Omi pressed a finger to his chin.
"It is possibly up."
