Toru: ok so where is this wu anyway?
Hitomi: yeah! Tell us! Tell us!
Me: get ready, 'cause you 2 are heading to Orlando, Florida.
Hitomi: Whoo-hoo! We won the grand prize!
Toru: what are you talking about, this isn't a contest.
Hitomi: I don't know I'm just so excited!
Toru: *Sighs* why in the hell did you give me such a crazy ass friend?
Me: because I have crazy ass friends and I found only fare to give you one too.
Hitomi: but come on you love me for it. Say it. Say it. *Toru rubs Hitomi's head* aww. :)
Me: ok lets get started. Remember I own nothing but my own characters.
Previously:
Chase smiled Neptune's Trident was a very dangerous wu, I just screamed to be used for evil. Chase soon went to the training hall and saw Toru teaching Hitomi to control energy blasts.
He went over to his mate, "Toru a new sheng gong wu was activated, Neptune's Trident."
Toru gave a wicked side smile. "Sounds…devastating."
Hitomi groaned. "Ugh, this wu involves water doesn't? I don't see the use for it."
"Think about for a minute would you, huh? Neptune is the god of the sea and with his trident it would be a simple matter of sinking a continent or drying up one. Do you see the useful implications now?" Toru explained.
"Cool. I opt for the drowning thing."
Chapter 23: Hard Rock 'n Roll
Hard Rock hotel-Orlando, Florida
Toru and Hitomi had made it to the hotel and were none the less excited. The hotel was packed people both celebrity and non were coming in. The classic Hard Rock fountain was blasting under the color changing lights. But as much as they were admiring this place it was huge finding Neptune's Trident wasn't going to be so easy.
"Oh this is so cool!" Hitomi was especially excited she had only seen these people on TV. "Was that Johnny Depp?"
"Focus. With all these people here its gonna be harder to find the wu." Toru said. The hotel was big enough and finding the wu was going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"You're right, and I can't exactly go in looking like this." Hitomi added. She didn't look completely human her front and back paws were huge and the several inch claws-while are useful-were a bit conspicuous, and if not for the small bits of fur covering her she could still be considered naked.
Toru sighed. "Hello, did you forget I taught you the illusion spell."
"Oh, right. Duh." Hitomi concentrated her chi and a pentagram appeared under and above her but instead of a triangle it was in the shape of a cat's head. The top pentagram moved down her body. Her blue hair turned blond and her fur turned into a white dress that adorned her clouded leopard spots-she still had her pride after all. Her large paws appeared to look like normal white gloves and shoes. "Ta-da! How do I look?" she asked.
"Very sexy. Now its my turn." Toru concentrated her chi as well and her outfit changed in a red Chanel dress with adorned with a black dragon coiling around it. With black shoes. "Come lets get going."
As the girls went in and Hips Don't Lie ft. Wyclef Jean by Shakira was playing on the speakers above and they searched high and low for the trident but came up with nothing after hours of looking they were close to calling it a night and continuing the search in the morning. That is until Hitomi got a scent and it was defiantly dragon. Kimiko had used her father's status in the video game world to get in with her team.
The girls immediately got their seconded wind and continued the search. Toru and Hitomi headed for the casino and passed a guy at the roulette wheel with violet colored eyes. Toru looked black for a brief moment but didn't stop. The guy looked as well and caught a glimpse of her green eyes and his widened.
"Hey, Toru, what do we do when we do find the sheng gong wu. I mean, its not like we can sneak it out." Hitomi asked.
"When we find I'll need you to get as close to it as possible and once you're in position I'll find the control room and cut the power. That when you'll grab it." Toru explained.
A man then grabbed them on the shoulder. "There you 2 are. I've been looking all over for you, you're late." Toru could tell by the way this man talked that he was gay. "You're the opening act and I can't have the main act go on if the audience is pre-entertained."
"Hold on!"
"We're not-"
"Ah-ah-ah. No time to argue. You don't have time to change but your outfits are fine." The man said.
As he pushed them towards the stage Hitomi looked and saw a statue above the stage in the shape of Poseidon statue and it was holding Neptune's Trident!
"Toru, he's putting us right under the wu." Hitomi said.
"Alright fine we'll put on a show and then we stick to the original plan."
Hitomi nodded as they walked onto the stage as the music started.

As the music was ending the girls took a bow and left the stage as the audience applauded. Toru mad a mad dash for the control room, knocked out the guard and cut the power.
The entire hotel went dark, and Hitomi grabbed sheng gong wu. The lights quickly turned back on and the girl headed for the pool area and bumped and were about to run pass the boy with the violet eyes.
"Toru!" the guy shouted. Toru stopped in her tracks, who the hell was this guy? Well whoever he was he immediately hugged her. "Oh my god, Toru! It really is you."
Toru shoved the guy off. "Ugh! What the hell? Get off me! Who the fuck are you?!"
The guy sighed, "You don't remember me, I'm not surprised. Its me, Jason. We grew up in the same orphanage together."
Hitomi looked at Toru disbelievingly. "Do you know this guy Toru?"
"The name's not bringing back anything but those eyes…" then it hit her. A memory of a boy standing in the back watching helplessly while the other kids tortured and bully Toru relentlessly. "Wait I remember you now. Your one of the few kids that didn't tease with me."
Jason chuckled. "Yeah that's right."
Toru frowned. "Don't look so happy you didn't help either!"
"Yeah I know I didn't but I was going to, but you disappeared. What happened to you?" Jason asked.
"I escaped, that's what I did." Toru simply stated.
"Star Hanabi, fire!" The fire blast head right for them
Toru pushes Jason out of the way and makes a pentagram appear in mid-air. "Fulmen!" a blast of lightning dissipated the flames as Toru pulled out her sword from her armory.
"We will take the sheng gong wu if you please." Omi said with the other monks behind him.
"You want it pee-wee? Come and get it." Toru's voice had the resonance of death. "Neptune's Trident!"
A wave of water blasted out of the trident ready to drown the Xiaolin monks.
Omi quickly stepped up. "Tornado strike, water!" the little monk manipulates the water around him and his friends.
Toru noticed the ground was saturated around the monks and gave a devilish smile as she zapped the ground, electrocuting the monks causing them to scream in agonizing pain.
"Stop it Toru, there just a bunch of kids." Jason urged Toru but she responded with grabbing his shirt and lifting above her head.
"Back off! You don't anything, so get lost before I cook you Cajun style!"
She threw Jason aside as Toru and Hitomi resumed their attack, while the outside speakers were playing Blow by Ke$ha.
Raimundo's Blade of the Nebula and Toru's Sword of Slayers clashed with each other into a stalemate, Hitomi was keeping the others busy with the newly acquired wu.
Toru got closer and whispered in Rai's ear. "What's the matter, boy? Afraid you can't protect your little girlfriend? No that's not it, you just don't want lose to me anymore, is that it?"
"I beat you last time." Rai said with a smirk.
"Sheer luck, it won't happen again."
The dragon of wind pushed Toru away but they quickly got back into a stalemate. "You know I noticed quite a few things when we were on the island. You don't like taking orders from others because it reminds you of your father constantly ordering your mother around, hitting and abusing her." Raimundo hate in his eyes, Toru was getting to him and was enjoying every minute of it. "Or maybe its because you have to appear to have that macho-man persona you want to put on for Kimiko. Ah, that's it isn't it?"
"You're crazy." Raimundo said.
"Crazy? No, simply curious. Tell me have you kissed her yet?" Rai's eyes widened. "That would be a no. I would have to say I am curious on how she tastes."
He was looking at her like she was crazy. "Wh-what! You're both girls, you can't just-"
Toru began to over the dragon of wind while he struggled. "Why not; I have no problem kissing girls and once I get done they have no problem either, just ask Hitomi there." She purposely didn't mention Wuya 'cause she didn't like kissing her. "I wonder if Chase would like the idea of a 3-way."
Raimundo lost it and began to attack Toru furiously. He was swinging wildly and telegraphing every move to her making it easy to block. She knew she'd hit a nerve but she didn't think it would be this bad or this funny.
Over by Hitomi she was currently drowning them with a constant stream of blasting water from the wu. But what Hitomi didn't notice was that Omi managed to get away from the attack and kick the sheng gong wu out of her hands destroying the mini water spout.
Hitomi gasped, "Toru!"
Toru and Raimundo's swords clashed once more before she punched him. The girls went straight for the wu and touched it along with Omi and Raimundo. The wu began to glow indicating the challenged must be answered.
"Monks, me and Toru challenge you to a 4-way Xiaolin showdown our Denshi Bunny and Shroud of Shadows against your Orb of Tornami and Sword of the Storm." Hitomi stated. The monks nodded in agreement.
"The game is Boys vs. Girl: Battle of the Gods ancient Greek style. Whoever loses both of their god's first loses." Toru finished.
"LETS GO! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" they all shouted.
The arena changed turning into a large field surrounded by high mountains. Omi and Raimundo's Wudai robes appeared on top of that was Greek armor adoring there element symbols. Toru's Kunoichi outfit, along with her own armor appeared. Hitomi had no external clothing other than her fur but armor that covered her torso (but still showing a large amount of cleavage), arms, and legs.
Large stone tablets with Greek lettering along it. Each represented a god. Toru and Hitomi were well aware of the the Greek gods and the powers they possessed. The monks were not as diverse in Greek mythology as the girls were so they decided to show them who its done.
"Goddess of the hunt, Artemis, come forth!" Toru shouted as the tablet glowed and a giant statue of the goddess appeared. She adored a golden bow and silver arrows, which also appeared on Toru.
"Goddess of war, Athena, come forth!" the tablet glowed as a statue of Athena wielding a sword and a shield that adorned the severed head of medusa. The same weapons appeared on Hitomi as well.
Toru turned on her iPod as it played I Burn by Jeff Williams feat. Casey Lee Williams
See what the girls did Omi and Raimundo called on Poseidon and Ares. The boys adorned the weapons of the gods Omi got Poseidon's trident and Raimundo a large ax.
"GONG YI TEMPI" (still don't know if I'm spelling that right)
Toru jumped in the air as she removed her collar while the statue followed her every move. The monks looked in shock and awe, what had she done to herself she looks like Chase.
As Toru hit the ground she immediately separated Raimundo from Omi and got him to chase her. During the chase Toru made an unexpected turn and back kicked and Artemis kicked Ares in the face sending him flying. The connection between them and the statue was evident as when the moment the blow was landed it also sent Raimundo flying backwards.
Really did feel like he was kicked in face just now and that pissed him off. Raimundo grabbed his ax and charged.
There was a reason Toru went straight for Rai, she knew he was still mad and would be easy to take down. He was still telegraphing his movements. Toru was easily dodging them and eventually Artemis punching her half-brother in the face. Soon Toru found the weak spot in the ax and as she made the goddess dodge the attack close enough she swung hitting the ax and shattering it.
Over by Hitomi and Omi. Hitomi charge and began attacking with her sword. Omi did a good job in blocking her, Hitomi wasn't nearly as skill with a sword as Toru but she was good enough.
"Orb of Tornami!"
Poseidon able to push back his niece back and blast her with a water attack. Athena held up her shield and blocked the attack but it pushed her back along with Hitomi.
Hitomi jumped into the air and threw her shield like a projectile knocking the weapons out of both the statue and the monk's hand. Athena then uses the water to quickly glide her way behind Poseidon; she thrusts his right arm and breaks it off.
"AHH!" Omi shouts in pain as blood spurted from his arm.
"Omi!" Kimiko shouted from a distance
Jason watched from a different area in total disbelief how could any of this be happening, what was happening actually? Giant Greek statues fight? And what the hell happened to the hotel? Why was Toru fighting those kids and why is there a cat lady?
Hitomi resumed her attack. Omi held his shoulder and tried to block his opponents attack but with little luck. Artemis eventually kicked her uncle back. The statue then ran forward using constant fake-outs as she continued to kick him. She then jumped in the air again and used her shield to reflect the moon light and blind the little monk. Finally she unsheathe her sword and decapitated Poseidon.
As the statue crumbled Omi fell to the ground unconscious.
"Oh, no, Omi!" Raimundo was about to go over there and help him but was block by 3 silver arrows. He turned and saw Hitomi looking at him with an evil smirk.
"You should be more worried about yourself rather your friend." She said.
Raimundo gave Toru a rather vengeful look. "You're so gonna pay for this." He took out Sword of the Storm; Ares then wielded it as well." Sword of the Storm, wind!"
A tornado of air was shot out as Toru and Artemis backfliped out of the way. A large amount of dust was kicked up and Toru couldn't see a thing. As she looked around as to where the monk was he came out of the dust cloud and punched Toru several times. Mimicking his movements the Ares statue was hitting his half-sister eventually knocking her out of the dust cloud. Toru got up and felt something wet drip down her chin; as she touched it she saw it was blood. He actually managed to wound her. Instead of getting mad she gave a devilish smile.
"Alright then." Toru cracked her knuckles and made her aura flare as she changed her fighting stance from a martial arts stance to a more street fighter one and ran at the dragon of the wind. She dodged 2 blows with the sword and began to punch him. She let the lightning build in her hand and drew one final punch. Raimundo tried to block it with his wu but something happened, as Toru's punch landed it broke the Sword of the Storm, actually broke it! And with her bare hands no less.
The punch not only broke the wu but the remaining blast waves sent Rai flying back.
Toru's aura flared again but much more intensely this time. She crouched and ran at Raimundo full speed and punched him in the face. Artemis mimicking her punched Ares in the face as well but shattering it and the body shattered as well.
With the fight over the area returned to normal as they now had 5 sheng gong wu in their possession. The music changed to Steppin' to the Bad Side by Dreamgirls.
The girls were about to walk away with their prize but where stopped by Jason.
"Toru wait." He pleaded.
"What could you possibly want now?" Toru asked irritably.
"Don't go. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but whatever it is can't be good. I mean everything that just happened that was insane. Whatever you got yourself you should leave it, come with me."
Hitomi lifted a brow thinking this guy is crazy.
"Look Jason you're a nice guy and all but you're right you don't know what's going on and I'm pretty sure if you did then you go insane yourself. Besides even if I were even to consider it I'm taken." She explained.
Jason looked at her with disbelief, "T-taken? By who?"
"By me." Chase threw Jason to the side and held Toru close to him in a possessive way.
As he fell to the ground he was face-to-face with a giant lion that growled in his face.
"Master? What are you doing here?" Toru asked
"I came to see how you're showdown went and I was thoroughly impressed." Chase said with a smile but it quickly faded as he looked at Jason. "Tell me Toru how do you even know this whelp?"
"He's was one of the kids at the orphanage, one of the few that weren't cruel towards me." She said.
Jason couldn't get up from the floor do to Orion in his face. He wanted to bit the punks face off for even attempting to try and take his masters mate.
"Hold on, 'master'? Toru are you owned by this guy?" Jason asked.
Chase chuckled, "Owned? Hardly. She came with me of her own free will."
"BULLSHIT!" Jason shouted
Chase quickly grabbed his neck and chocked him, giving serious look. "Hold your tongue, boy before I rip it out. You obviously don't know who you're talking to but I'll let you live sense you had some form good judgment as a child."
Chase released Jason who was coughing wildly. Orion growled at him one last time before leaving with the others.
The monks had left as well so Jason was left alone with his thoughts of anger and jealousy.
'What does Toru see in that guy? He's obviously violent. I can't even imagine what he's done to her to make her stay with him. I wouldn't put it past that guy if he beats her. There's no way I'm letting her stay with him. I'll get her to come with me, no matter what it takes.'
In the distance a certain little bean was smiling as he could see the young man's anger grow and concocted a new plan.
Alright people I am not dead but the lack of comments was making me not want to write. I might have gotten some work done last week but I was having too much fun at Florida supercon. I met a lot of awesome people, D.C. Douglas (plays Chase in Transformers rescue bots), Hal Rayle, I enjoyed talking to him the most over those 4 days (He did the predators voice, also if you've ever seen a Muppets movie he did a lot of the voices there to), Richard Steven Horvitz ( the one and only Zim), Rosearik Rikki Simons (the adorable GIR), Veronica Taylor (She played Ash in Pokemon), J. Michael Tatum (Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler) and that would only be naming a few. I had such a wonderful time there and they where all so nice. I bought a ton of stuff…I'm not proud of it. Anyway I hoped you liked the chapter. So tell me what you think of Jason and can anyone guess as to what Hannibal's plan is and what do you think his death should be. Cause it won't be like until near the end so I would like to know. Plez review
