“What the hell!” Raimundo yelled.

“Don’t play innocent you are wanted all over China for theft and property damage.” the police chief said.

“Raimundo’s not a thief.” Kimiko defended.

“Look he’s got a hostage.” one of the officers said.

“Hostage she’s my-.” Raimundo started to say.

“Get away from here or we’ll shoot.” the chief said.

Raimundo had enough. “Typhoon Boom.” He smashed his hands together and let loose a powerful wave of wind that blew all the policeman back.

“Let’s go before they recover.” Raimundo told Kimiko. She grabbed his hand and they started running.

The policeman however recovered and took off after Raimundo in their squad cars.

“Wudai Wind Illusion.” Raimundo yelled. Instantly a duplicate of Raimundo made out of wind appeared.

“Wudai Hurricane.” Raimundo yelled He held his hand at the ground then fired a powerful wind force that shot him and Kimiko into the air and made them land in a tree.

The police quickly caught up and surrounded the illusion.

Raimundo threw his voice. “Okay I’ll go with you.” he made the illusion say.

“Where is the girl?” one of the officers demanded.

“She ran off.” Raimundo/illusion said.

“We’ll find her later when your questioned.” the chief said.

“Alright come with us.” one of the policeman said.

Two of the biggest men cuffed the illusion and stuck him in the back of the squad car. Then all they cars took off.

“How long will that illusion last?” Kimiko asked.

“Bout 10 minutes.” Raimundo told her. “Enough time for us to escape.”

He picked her up bridal style. “Wudai Star Wind, Eagle Soar.”

Using his advanced wind technique he flew the two of them back to the Temple.

Later

Raimundo told Master Fung and the others about what had happened. Kimiko used her laptop to look on-line and found several pictures of what looked just like Raimundo robbing banks and attacking citizens.

“This is most troubling.” Omi said.

“Who do you reckon it is?” Clay asked.

“Maybe its Chase, this sounds like something he’d do.” Kimiko suggested.

“But Chase can not change into humans.” Omi pointed out.

“Maybe its Hannibal Bean, he does have the Moby Morpher.” Raimundo said.

“The Moby Morpher only changes your appearance, it doesn’t give you super powers.” Dojo explained.

“How about Nightshroud he can shape shift.” Clay suggested.

“But he can only turn into a panther and raven.” Kimiko said.

“What about the Chameleon bot, Jack could have tweaked it to use my element.” Raimundo suddenly said.

“But Jack gave up being evil, not that he was ever any good at it.” Kimiko said.

“Yeah but Jack giving up being evil that’s like a dog giving up eating meat.” Clay agreed with Raimundo.

They thought of several more including Panadbubba, Katnappe, and even the Sapphire Dragon. But each was more ridiculous then the one before it. Finally it was lights out time.

“Maybe a good nights sleep will give us a chance to figure this out.” Clay suggested.

“That actually makes sense.” Raimundo said.

The four almost dragons said there good nights and went to their cubicles except for Raimundo who went to his private room.

“I’m so excited, I’ll never be able to fall asleep.” Raimundo said. But before his head even hit the pillow he conked out.

‘Too easy.’ a mysterious figure thought. “Shadow of Fear.” He turned into a blackish mist and flew inside Raimundo’s head.

Raimundo’s dream

Raimundo opened his eyes to find that he was at the beach and it was an incredibly bright and sunny day. He was lying under an umbrella looking out at the ocean. In the distance Omi and Clay were building a sand castle with Dojo in it. Jack Spicer was in the distance drowning, Katnappe was in a bathing suit trying to get Chase’s attention and Master Fung was sitting on a towel meditating.

“Good you’re up sleepy head.” Kimiko said stroking his hair.

“Huh?” Raimundo said. He looked up and saw that Kimiko was in a really hot red bikini that showed off her figure perfectly.

“Don’t want to sleep the day away.” Kimiko said.

“Right.” Raimundo agreed. He rose up and smiled lovingly at his girlfriend. She smiled back. Then all of a sudden everyone disappeared.

“What’s going on?” Raimundo cried.

The bright sun changed into a dark storm. The bright sand changed into fiery magma and the towel that Rai was lying under was now a cage.

Villains appeared all around him some that he recognized and a few he didn’t. Then out of the magma a giant 50 foot horrid creature emerged. It had the body of a rhino the forearms of a praying mantis, the back legs of a frog, bat like wings, a crocodile like tail, and a long serpent like neck and head. Despite the fusion the creature was a dark blue/purple color.

“Join us Raimundo Pedrosa, this is where you belong.” the creature hissed revealing a forked tongue.

Out of nowhere a mirror appeared. Raimundo looked into it to find the image he wanted to see the least, Darkwind.

“I’m apart of you, you can destroy what spawned me, but I’ll always be with you.” the Darkwind reflection said.

“No, I’m not evil, I’m a Xiaolin Dragon.” Raimundo cried.

“You belong on the Heylin Side.” the horrible creature hissed. “You can’t deny it, before the next full moon you will join us.”

“No, no, no.” Raimundo cried. Suddenly he was shaken awake.

“Rai are you okay?” Kimiko asked concerned.

Raimundo looked up to see Kimiko in her silk blue pajamas. She was wearing her hair down which was still his favorite way.

“I had the worst nightmare.” Rai confessed. “This monster told me that I belonged on the Heylin side and then I became that person that I was before.”

“Darkwind!” Kimiko gasped

“Yeah, but he can’t be back, I destroyed the Akai Tanami Gem.” Raimundo pointed out.

“That’s right I guess it was just a bad dream.” Kimiko agreed.

They didn’t notice an invisible figure fly out of Raimundo’s ear and disappear.

“Well goodnight Rai.” she said kissing him on the head.

“I’m too scared to go back to aleeep, uh this is kind of awkward, but could you sleep with me tonight?” Raimundo asked nervously .

“What?” she gasped.

Raimundo quickly said. “I don’t mean that, unless you want to-.”

“No, but since you’re scared.” Kimiko said.

Raimundo scooted over and Kimiko got into bed with him. She was skeptical at first, but quickly calmed down. She didn’t object when Raimundo put his arms around her waist,b ut she did smack it when he tried moving it upwards.

“Good night, my one true love.” Raimundo whispered in her ear.

“Good night.” Kimiko said before she dozed off.

The Next Morning

Omi came running through the Temple waking everyone up. He ran into Raimundo’s room.

“Greetings friend Raimundo it is time to shine and rise.” he said. He gasped when he saw Raimundo and Kimiko together.

“RAIMUNDO ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING UNSANITARY WITH KIMIKO!” Omi shouted.

Raimundo and Kimiko quickly awoken and screamed.

“Omi don’t surprise us like that.” Kimiko said slightly angered.

“Yeah dude, and its unclean.” Raimundo said.

“Oh my mistake.” Omi said. “WERE YOU DOING SOMETHING UNCLEAN WITH KIMIKO!”

“No I wasn’t.” Raimundo said angry. “Now drop it.”

“Yeah.” Clay said poking his head into the room. “Bye the way I took some pictures of you two while you were asleep and sent them to your folks, hope you don’t mind.”

“You did what!” Raimundo and Kimiko shouted.

Later...

The gang were on Dojo flying off to find the new Shen-Gong-Wu.

“Its called the Roc’s Feather.” Dojo explained. “Whoever possesses it can unleash a barrage of feathers at the opponent.”

The ancient scroll showed a stick figure holding a large feather. A bunch of feathers shot out blinding another stick figure.

“I have read that when it is combined with the power of wind it creates a most deadly effect.” Omi said.

“That’s good enough for me.” Raimundo said.

Dojo landed in a park in Southern California. The gang spread out as usual.

“I’ll go north, Clay go south, Omi, east, and Kimiko west.” Raimundo instructed.

“Aye aye leader.” Clay joked. The four spread out in their given directions.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Clay...

“Feather, feather where are you feather?” he asked. He checked under a row of park benches but didn’t see anything. Then he spotted a hot dog stand.

“No use looking for a Wu on an empty stomach.” he decided running over to the stand.

The Roc’s Feather blew right past his back.

With Omi...

“I will be the one to find that Shen-Gong-Wu.” Omi said. “Falcon’s Eye.” Using the Falcon’s Eye he looked through everything. Including a tree full of squirrels.

“Ahh squirrels.” he cried running around in circles.

He didn’t notice the Roc’s Feather float past him.

With Kimiko...

Kimiko skimmed the area for the Wu. “I won’t stop until I find it.” Then her phone started to ring.

“Hello.” she answered.

“Hey Kimi.” Keiko said.

“Oh hey Keiko.” Kimiko replied.

“So how are things with you and Rai?” Keiko asked.

“Do you always have to interfere in my personal life?” Kimiko asked slightly annoyed.

“Duh.” she laughed.

“Well we did sleep together last night.” Kimiko told her.

“You did what?” Keiko gasped.

“Well it’s a funny story.” Kimiko said.

She was so busy talking she didn’t notice the Roc’s Feather fly by her head.

With Raimundo...

Raimundo was trying to look for the feather, but he had other things on his mind.

“First my dad gives me an engagement ring and then the police tell me I’m wanted and now I’m having nightmares about the Heylin side.”

The Roc’s Feather floated right up to him, but he didn’t notice.

Suddenly a flash shot by him and grabbed the Wu.

“What was that?” Raimundo gasped.

“Thanks for the Wu.” a voice that sounded just like his said.

Raimundo looked over to see his self?

“Am I seeing things or is that me?” he asked his self.

“Eye of Dashi.” the look alike yelled. A bolt of lightening shot out almost striking Raimundo.

“How did you do that?” Raimundo asked .

“I got some skills, like this.” the look alike replied. “Longi Kite.” Instantly he began to fly and took off.

“Get back here.” Riamundo cried. “Wudai Star Wind, Eagle Soar.” He jumped in the air and flew after the look alike.

“Star Hanabi.” the look alike yelled. He shot a blast of fire straight at Raimundo. Raimundo easily dodged.

“Thorn of Thunder, Tangle Web Comb.” The look alike yelled. A blast of thunder and strong hair shot out of his hands.

Raimundo dodged the thunder bolt, but the hair hit his leg slowing him down.

They were coming up to a series of trees.

“Serpents Tail.” the look alike yelled. Instantly he turned intangible and phased through the trees. Raimundo wasn’t so lucky.

The look alike turned around “Silk Spitter.” He shot out a silk spider web trapping Raimundo in the trees. “Jet Bootsu.” He floated towards the now trapped Raimundo.

“Who are you?” Raimundo asked.

“Don’t tell me you forget me already.” the look alike laughed. His face changed into oen that Raimundo wanted to see the least.

“No not you.” Raimundo cried. “You can’t be back.”
