Kimiko’s Old room

"No, no, no." Kimiko cried. She woke up.

"Is something wrong?" Master Fung asked sticking his head in the doorway. Dojo was wrapped around his neck.

"Huh, I’m in my old bed, I’m alive." Kimiko gasped.

"Of course you’re in your bed and you’re alive." Dojo said. "Raimundo said you fell asleep planning your wedding and he tucked you in."

"Raimundo." Kimiko gasped. She grabbed the Homing Falcon and ran to the Shen-Gong-Wu vault.

She grabbed the Ying Yo-yo. "Ying Yo-yo." She attached a note that she had wrote while running. She attached it to the Homing Falcon with one of her hair ribbons. "Find Raimundo, 18 year old Raimundo, ten years from now. Homing Falcon." She flung the Homing Falcon into the portal.

--

Ying-Yang World.

The Homing Falcon flew around the Ying-Yang world for 10 years until it came to Raimundo’s time. It was almost devoured by a Chi monster, but it avoided it.

With Raimundo

Hannibal Bean unleashed a massive energy wave blasting Raimundo. Then Tubbimura let loose a fury of blasts from his sword, followed up by a mechanical punch from Nightshroud.

Then ChamelaJack 9.9 unleashed its mechanical fists along with Vlad who smacked him with a leather sack. Vlad hadn’t changed much, but he was slightly uglier.

Raimundo was sent crashing into an invisible wall. Hannibal Bean grabbed him with his many arms and smashed him into the wall again.

All the enemies got ready for a final attack.

"Stop I didn’t do any of this, it wasn’t me." Raimundo begged.

"Oh stop you are responsible for the horrible things that happened in your world and ours." the Robo Jack part of ChamelaJack 9.9 said.

"To everyone you ever came into contact with." the Chamela part added.

"Your girlfriend Kimiko, her fiancé, and most importantly us." Hannibal Bean said.

"And you absorbed the others elements." Nightshroud added.

"I didn’t do that." Raimundo pleaded. "It wasn’t me."

All the enemies got ready to attack.

"Get away, get away, get away." Raimundo yelled unleashing his own Demon’s Roar. The powerful white waves shot out striking all the enemies. They were no match for the mighty waves. They were sent flying backwards.

Raimundo continued to unleash the powerful attack. The waves were so powerful they destroyed the ropes that tied him up. However he used up so much energy that his head changed back to his normal head then the attack stopped.

"Whoa." he gasped. All his enemies were knocked unconscious. His head changed back to its Orion form.

"I had to get so jealous." Raimundo kicked his self. "I could have been happy and accepted her, but I had to get jealous, now my stupid future is smacking me in the face." Just then the Homing Falcon smacked him in the face.

"Ow." he groaned. He took off the note that was attached and read it. "Chase, figures." He took off for Chase’s lair.

Xiaolin Temple

Ryan had came for the rehearsal wedding. The real wedding was next week.

Dark Rai shrugged at him. He still couldn’t believe that Kimiko had chosen Ryan over him. He might not have emotions or feelings, but anger was one thing that he did have.

Ryan was at least 4 inches shorter than Raimundo and clearly not muscular. He had incredibly short brown hair and hazel colored eyes. Unlike Raimundo he was clearly not muscular. And he was wearing a blue suit while Dark Rai was in Raimundo’s casual outfit.

"Oh hey Raimundo is it?" Ryan asked.

Dark Rai growled. He almost formed a fireball, but he kept telling his self ‘It has to be the explosion.’

"Oh I am fine, I hope you make Kimiko a great husband." he managed to say through clenched teeth.

"Don’t worry I will, Kimiko is the greatest girl in the world." Ryan said.

‘Who should have been with me.’ Dark Rai thought. ‘No wait I can’t love, I have no emotions.’

Just then Kimiko came running towards him.. Dark Rai turned angrily. "Earth, he whispered." He made a small earth quake travel over to Kimiko then made a rock like fist hit her in the head, knocking her unconscious. Then the quake dragged her away before she could be seen.

--

Ying-Yang World.

Raimundo flew through the Ying-Yang world until he found a portal that lead to Chase’s Lair. Taking a deep breathe he jumped into it.

He landed in a destroyed room. All around lie dead jungle cats piled in heaps. Also there was a few Shen-Gong-Wu that Raimundo had never seen before lying on a broken table.

"Come to kick a defenseless old man when he’s down?" Chase asked his face to the wall. He turned around to reveal that he had aged considerably and was now wrinkled and had grown a white beard. He now wore a black dress like gown instead of his gold armor.

"Defenseless, old what happened to you?" Raimundo asked wondering how Chase could have aged when he was supposed to be immortal.

"I could ask you the very same question my boy, or perhaps I should ask what hasn’t happened to you, yet." Chase said. "I still recall the day that the Dragon of Fire wed to another man you were so heart broken that you went crazy. You came to me the last person on the planet that could understand how you felt. You were so hurt that you didn’t want to be able to feel how to love again. I honored your wishes."

Chase recalled putting Raimundo asleep and tying him up with strong belts. Then he took the Joucho Saber a Shen-Gong-Wu that had the power to remove the evil chi from a person and without emotions. Chase stabbed it into Raimundo and pulled out an evil looking version of Raimundo in Orion mode. He didn’t look happy though. He pushed Chase aside and grabbed the saber.

"Sadly that lead you to rip the chi out of me." Chase explained.

It then showed evil Raimundo stabbing Chase and ripping out his reptile form and tossing it to a wall. Then he flew at it and tried to merge with it.

"And when my evil chi mixed with yours and my evil side overwhelmed you." Chase said.

It then showed Raimundo being surged with massive amounts of power. It was so much that his skin started cracking and turning pale and his hair caught on fire.

Raimundo was almost afraid to ask, "What happened to my human self?"

Chase looked away. "Some things my boy are best left unsaid." He recalled a frightened Raimundo cowering against the wall as the evil Raimundo looked down and reveled his hideous forked tongue . Then a giant explosion was heard and a large part of Chase’s lair was destroyed along with several of his jungle cats. Then the evil Raimundo flew off laughing.

"If any good has came out of this, its ten years without Heylin Powers has shown me what a fool I’ve been for trading my soul away." Chase said.

"Maybe that’s what I need to give Kimiko, a second chance." Raimundo said. Then he got an idea. "Do you still have the Joucho Saber?"

Xiaolin Temple Present

Kimiko regained consciousness. "I have to stop that evil Raimundo from killing everyone. I know its because Raimundo is jealous of me marrying someone else, but I thought that he didn’t have feelings for me. Aww I don’t know what I’m going to do."

Just then Ryan stuck his head in the doorway."Kimiko there’s something I have to tell you."

Kimiko didn’t have the time, but asked, "What?"

"I don’t think we should get married. I’m not right for you." Ryan said.

"What you’re telling me this now." Kimiko gasped.

"There is someone better out there for you." Ryan said.

"Uh Ryan, what’s your last name?" Kimiko asked.

"Huh you know my last name." Ryan said slightly nervous.

"Yeah, but just tell em, what is it?" Kimiko asked.

"Uh, Johnson." he guessed.

"Wrong, evil Raimundo." Kimiko said

Seeing that his gig was up he turned into his true form.

"Why are you trying to ruin my wedding?" Kimiko asked.

"Because I should have ended up with you. You knew I had feelings and you ignored them." Dark Rai growled.

"Yes I had feelings for you, but you never did anything about them." Kimiko shot back.

"Oh but I am going to do something." Dark Rai said. "I’m going to murder Ryan and force you to marry me."

He began doing strange hand movements. "Heylin Sleep Wave." Suddenly Kimiko fell into a deep sleep.

"Now to take care of Ryan." he said turning into Kimiko.

--

Back with Raimundo

"So you’re saying there’s a medallion lodged inside you?" Chase asked.

"Yes and I can’t reach it, but I"m guessing that if you reach inside me and rip out my humanity, which by the way sounds totally gross, then you can get the medallion out and I’ll pop back to my time like Omi and Clay did." Raimundo told.

"Or I can just destroy you and prevent this future, didn’t think of that did you." Chase said his eyes filled with the lunge to kill. He raised the saber back and swung.

A giant explosion was heard and a flash of green light was seen.

--

Back in the present

Dark Rai had turned into Kimiko and told Ryan that the wedding was off then he knocked him out. Now he was dressed up in a tux and getting ready to marry Kimiko who he told he’d kill if she said anything. Now he was meeting with the minister.

"I came as soon as I could." the minister said. "Are you sure you want to be married now?"

"Oh yes." Dark Rai said. "Isn’t that right dear?"

"Oh yes." Kimiko said nervously.

"Alright." the minister said.

Later

Everyone was surprised that Kimiko was marrying Raimundo instead of Ryan. Clay and Omi were suspicious.

Kimiko was in her room trying to find a way to escape.

"Are you ready to be wed?" Omi asked sticking his head in the doorway.

"Omi, that’s really evil Raimundo and we have to stop him." Kimiko told him.

"Ha ha, that is most humorous, evil Raimundo was defeated." Omi laughed.

"I"m serious." Kimiko pleaded.

Dark Rai came up in a black tuxedo. "Come along Omi we can’t hold up my bride to be."

"Right Raimundo." Omi said clueless.

Dark Rai flashed his red eyes to Kimiko for a second.

The Actual Wedding

Kimiko walked nervously down the aisle. She didn’t know what she was going to do. She tried to contact Clay, but he was no where to be seen.

Finally she was at the front of Dark Rai.

The Minister said, "We are here today to join this two in holy matrimony. If there is anyone here who has a reason that they should not be wed speak now or forever hold your peace."

"I have a reason." Clay said.

Everyone turned to see Clay standing there wearing the Mask of Desetor, a Shen-Gong-Wu that could see through any kind of deception."

"That’s not Raimundo." Clay said. "Mask of Desetor." The mask fired a powerful red beam striking Dark Rai. The beam peeled away his Raimundo disguise revealing his true form.

Everyone gasped.

Dark Rai growled. "I guess I’ll go with plan B, let you all die." He fired beams of ice at everyone trapping them in the same rope that trapped Raimundo.

He put a barrier similar to the Sphere of Yun around Kimiko.

"After they all die, you’ll be forced to marry me." Dark Rai said.

Clay ran up and tried to punch him in the back of the stomach, but his hand passed through harmlessly.

"Nice try Clay, but my future, I’m inevitable." Dark Rai said. He punched Clay to the wall and tied him up with ice.

"Ahh ha ha." he laughed.

"Hey old man, ready for a blast from your past." Raimundo said flying down his fists out. He slammed into Dark Rai sending him flying into a wall.

"Don’t worry I won’t turn into that, ever." he told Kimiko.

Suddenly a ice rope wrapped around Raimundo. Dark Rai pulled him up to him.

"What are you going to do waste me, what happens to you then?" Raimundo asked Dark Rai.

"You don’t get it, do you. I’m still here. I still exist. That means you still turn into me. I don’t have to waste you." Dark Rai said throwing him into a wall "I just have to make sure that your whole future falls apart." He flew at Raimundo his tongue out.

Raimundo flew out of the way. Dark Rai’s fist slammed into the wall making a giant hole.

"Maybe if you remembered more about me, you would have remembered the Tangle Web Comb." Raimundo said tying Dark Rai up. "Or the Fist of Tebigong." He smashed the fist into Dark Rai sending him flying into a bench, smashing it in two.

Dark Rai rose. He broke the hair that tangled him like it was nothing. Then he grabbed Raimundo and gave him a hard punch. The Fist of Tebigong dropped into Dark Rai’s hand. Suddenly Raimundo got an idea. He tossed the Tangle Web Comb on the ground.

Dark Rai came at him his fist out again. Raimundo pulled out the Joucho Saber. And blocked his punch. They both touched the Tangle Web Comb.

"Dark Rai I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." Raimundo said. "My Joucho Saber against your Fist of Tebigong."

"I haven’t had one of these in 10 years." Dark Rai said. "Kicking your ass will be fun."

"The game is Street Brawl, last one standing wins." Raimundo said.

"Let’s go Xiaolin Showdown." they both yelled.

The scenery changed to an urban street with all kinds of buildings all around. The prisoners were all tied up in benches. Kimiko floated above them.

"Go beat yourself Raimundo." Kimiko cheered.

"Gong Yi Tanpi." they both yelled.

Dark Rai tossed the Fist of Tebigong aside. "I don’t need Shen-Gong-Wu to beat you."

"Xiaolin Razor Wave." Raimundo yelled hurling a wave of razor sharp wind. Dark Rai blocked the attack easily.

"Typhoon Boom, Eagle Soar." Raimundo yelled. He unleashed a powerful tornado of wind at Dark Rai.

"Heylin Hurricane." Dark Rai said calmly. He unleashed an even more powerful wind blast that easily overtook Raimundo’s blast and smacked Raimundo into a brick wall.

"He’s powerful." Raimundo gasped. "But I have Wu." He took out the Joucho Blade and ran and swung it at Dark Rai, slightly knocking him back.

"You want to see a real blade." Dark Rai said. He formed a hilt of earth, a blade of ice and wind, and a fiery surrounding to the blade.

They sword fought for several minutes.

"Let’s see you do this." Dark Rai said. He formed a rock fist and slammed it into Raimundo.

Raimundo ran at Dark Rai and tried to punch him, but Dark Rai caught his fist and slammed him into the ground.

"Your time is up Raimundo." Dark Rai said turning into four. One fire, one earth, one water, and one wind.

They four punched him, kicked him, and fired their elements at him. Raimundo barely managed to stand.

"What makes you think you can change my past?" Dark Rai asked turning back into one.

"Because I promised my friends." Raimundo gasped.

Dark Rai laughed. "Oh you are such a child, you promised."

"Yes, I PROMISED!" Raimundo roared unleashing his Demon’s Roar. The powerful waves blew Dark Rai back in solid concrete.

"That power, ah its not possible. I don’t get that power until ten years from now." Dark Rai gasped.

"I guess the future isn’t as set in stone as you think it is." Raimundo said. He unleashed an even more powerful Demon’s Roar sending Dark Rai flying into a building along with a truck. The building collapsed on top of him.

The showdown ended and Raimundo was left with the Wu. Unfortunately this used up all of Raimundo’s energy and he turned back to regular Raimundo

Suddenly Dark Rai. Came up from the rubble incredibly beaten. He was covered in blood and bruises and his armor was destroyed.

Raimundo gasped.

"So that’s it?" Dark Rai asked.

"Times up." Raimundo said taking out the puzzle box that Chase gave him. He opened it up shot out an energy beam.

"Too weak to escape, but your too late to save them." Dark Rai cried as he was sucked into the box.

At that moment the bomb from the fight with Katmura started to go off.

Raimundo tried to summon the power of wind, but none came.

"No, I don’t have any power left." Raimundo cried.

He turned to Kimiko. "Kimiko before I die I want to tell you-"

The bomb went off letting loose its massive explosion.

"Time Out." Clockwork said. Everything froze. He put a Time Medallion around Raimundo’s neck and pointed to his friends that were surrounded by a protective field.

Raimundo gasped. "You saved them."

“The Observants look at time like they're watching a parade. One thing after another, passing in sequence right in front of them. I see the parade from above. All the twists and turns it might -- or might not -- take." Clockwork said.

"You knew all of this was going to happen, all of it, even this part." Raimundo said.

"Time in." Clockwork said pushing the button on his time staff.

They reappeared in the future to the wedding of Kimiko and Ryan.

"You’ve given everyone else a second chance, why not you?" Clockwork asked.

Raimundo was now wearing a tuxedo. "Thanks." Raimundo said.

"Time in." Clockwork said disappearing.

The wedding started. He watched Kimiko walk down the aisle. She looked so beautiful in her dress. Ryan thought so too. He was getting the greatest girl in the world.

‘I have to accept who she’s with, even if I don’t like it.’ Raimundo thought.

‘What ever happened to fire and wind.’ Clay thought sadly.

‘Raimundo is most unhappy, I always thought him and Kimiko were meant to be.’ Omi thought.

‘Poor kid, I know what it’s like to have a broken heart.’ Dojo thought.

Kimiko walked down the aisle. She saw Raimundo flash her a thumbs up signal. She silently returned it. Finally she made it up to the front. She looked into Ryan’s eyes. For a second she thought she saw a flash of green in them, but shook it off.

The ceremony started. When they came to the part where if anyone has a reason Raimundo almost spoke up, but stopped his self.

‘Don’t make a fool of yourself, you and Kimiko weren’t meant to be.’ He slapped his self.

"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife." the minister said. "You may kiss the bride."

Raimundo turned away. Clay and Omi did also.

Raimundo did his best to smile as Kimiko and Ryan walked down the aisle husband and wife.

‘I got a new power, but I lost the love of my life. But I’d trade all my powers for Kimiko.’ Raimundo thought.

Later…

Raimundo sat outside looking at the view while the others were at the reception. Kimiko came out to join him.

"Rai why aren’t you inside with the others?" she asked.

"Just thinking." he sighed.

"I know this isn’t the way you want it, but I’m happy with Ryan." Kimiko said.

"I know you’re happy and that’s all I ever wanted." Raimundo said. ‘But you’d be happier with me. At least I would.’

"Thanks." she said embracing him. ‘I wonder if I made the right choice.’

Suddenly they saw Jack Spicer flying off with some Shen-Gong-Wu I his jet.

"Go." she said putting her hand on his.

Raimundo looked at her and smiled for the first time since she arrived.. "Xiaolin Star Wind." He transformed and flew up to Jack.

"Hey Spicer guess who’s back and better than ever?" Raimundo said.

Jack gulped and flew off. Raimundo flew off into the sunset after him

"Raimundo’s going to be alright." Kimiko decided. She also smiled for the first time since she arrived.

Clockwork’s Tower

"You manipulated the boy. You influenced his choice!" the first Observant said.

“That's a direct violation of the protocol of temporal displacement! In other words..." the second said.

"You cheated!" they both said.

" True, I cheated. But I assure you -- his choice was his own." Clockwork said.

"You realize the boy is your responsibility now." the first said.

" As is his evil self, now that he exists outside of time." the second said.

Clockwork just smiled. "I know. But then, I know everything."

He set the puzzle box on a table. A figure inside banged around and made a dent the shape of a face of evil. Then an evil laugh was heard

The End
