A Hard Training

It has been a long day full of training at the Xiaolin Temple for the young dragons. Now three of them were standing under their favourite tree in the garden thinking at the last few days and the exhausting training master Fung was giving them.

‘God! if I were new around, I would think this is worse than the military school’said a japanesse girl and the dragon of fire staying om the grass on her stomach.

‘You are mostly right, Kimiko. Master Fung is surely pushing us to our borders, lately’ Kimiko looked at him and added in a calm tone ‘Maybe you mean limits, Omi’

‘We’re not the only ones, fellows. I really don’t wanna know what kind of training Master Fung gives Rai. Poor guy felt in his bed last night like a bag of potatoes.’

After the last comment they turned their attention to a bird flying near the fountaine and started thinking again.

Omi’s thoughts

I still don’t understand. Why choose Raimundo over me, ME…I’m the most powerful, I should have been chosen. Well, now I shouldn't cry over spread milk so I’m just going to help my friend with his new responsibility.

Kimiko’s thoughts

Rai leader…I lived to see this happening .He really changed and I think I like him more like this. He’s a lot more mature…and also attractive, charming and … wow wow girl since when did you think like this bout him? He can be sweet okay but why do I care? We’re friends…aren’t we?

Clay’s thoughts

The last days were pure nightmares. I really think Master Fung is hiding something from us but it can’t be that bad. We’ve been through a lot of worse things, we can handle it. Maybe we should ask him.

Raimundo’s thoughts

Wow…the last obstacleracewas brutal. I wonder why is Master Fung so harsh. It seems he has already given the others a break. Finally time to relax!

‘Hey guys. How was your day?’ asked the young dragon laying down on the grass near them.

As usually Omi jumps up and answer in a cheerful tone’ Not bad Raimundo. I am training hard as always to become the most powerful warrior ever, even if I’m already very powerful’ Everybody rolled their eyes at this already known comment then went back at their conversation.

‘Ya know, we should ask Master Fung why is he forcing us so much! I mean no wu activated lately or an evil being trying to take over the world. At least he could give us a break day, right?’

‘I agree with Clay! We should tell him what we think’ Kimiko gave Clay a smile “thanks god I’m not the only one” then turned to see the other’s reaction.

‘But we arewarriors, we must be prepared in every second…’he stopped in the middle of his sentence and added in a low voice’…still, I won’t mind a break either’

‘Guys, Fung dude knows what his doing. He will tell us when we are ready’ seeing the looks his friends are giving him he continued’…but if you want, I’m gonna talk to him bout this, kay?’

‘That will do it, pardner’ just then a green lizard crawled to them holding an old scroll ‘Party’s over kids, we’ve got a hot one’ Dojo opened the scroll revealing a man holding a stone to his eye and seeing some strange objects. ’It’s the Diamond eye. It gives the user the possibility to see other shen-gong-wu even not activated’

‘Isn’t the same as the Falcon’s eye?’ asked the dragon of fire ‘Well…the Falcon’s eye can see through solid objects and also activated wu, but that’s all…….what? After defeating Wuya, Dashi had a lot of free time’

‘Okay gang let’s go change and meet here in ten’

After 10 minutes they were all back in the garden with a 40 feet Dojo. Clay and Omi were wearing their normal clothes, Raimundo a red hoodie with white stripes at the end of the sleeves, blue jeans and white shoes and of course the medallion and Kimiko a green sleeveless shirt, short grey jeans, knee high back boots and red elbow long fingerless gloves. Her hair was a red like fire tied in two low pigtails.

They jumped on Dojo’s back and went flying in the sky.

After about two hours, Dojo began to descend and they saw a tropical forest. Dojo put down near a very high waterfall.

‘Wow…the Angel waterfall! It’s really beautiful’ said Kimiko as she got down and Raimundo was staring at her. Not as beautiful as you! Where did that came from? Alright think about it later, concentrate now Rai! Lucky for him nobody saw him.

‘Whoooweee! It’s surely big. Now, where’s the wu Dojo?’ Dojo jumped on Raimundo’s shoulder and pointed at the ground ‘So…it’s under us’ said confidently the little yellow monk.

Dojo smacked his forehead and told them. ’No people, it’s in a cave under the waterfall! If I remember correctly it has to be a tunnel behind the water.’

‘Nice! Omi could you use your powers to stop the water so we can get in?’ Omi flinched and turn to Raimundo ‘Of course! I was going to give you a clue about it’ Then he jumped in the air and called his element ‘Wudai Neptune Water’

A passage is opened through the water letting the four warriors pass. Thet started to walk in the cave guided by Kimiko’s fire till they found a dead end. All four of them turned to Dojo, giving him the same confused look ‘I don’t know, this wasn’t supposed to be here. I remember a lake and Dashi put the wu in the middle of it’

‘Well I don’t see any lake!’ retored a pissed of Kimiko. ’And it wasn’t any other tunnel on the way’ added Raimundo turning on the way they came. Clay started to walk towards the stone wall and put his hand on it. He stayed like that for a few seconds than smashed his fist in the wall destroying it completely and revealing a large underground lake. ’Here’s your lake!’

‘Clay how did you know there is something behind?’ asked the others with their eyes wide open. ‘I dunno! I just felt it’ answer the cowboy scratching the back of his head. With this they made their way through the hole and into the cave.

Suddenly they heard a familiar yet annoying sound. Jack Spicer came flying with his helli-get, holding the wu and stopped when he saw his enemies. ‘Ha !Too late xiaolin losers!The wu is mine!’ said the wannabe evil genius doing one of his usually evil laughs.

‘Jake Spicer, I command you to give up at once, or suffer a most humiliating defeat!’ The others were standing behind with a sweat drop above their heads and whispering to each other. ’Ya know? We really need another line. This is getting embarrassing.’ Raimundo told to Kimiko and Clay as they nodded.

The same sweat drop appear at Jack as well. ‘Hey baldy, can’t you say anything else? This is getting old. Ninja-bots, Octo-bots, ATTACK!’ Black masked robots came from everywhere and giant tentacles were coming out of water. ‘Let’s go guys! WUDAI ORION FORMATION!’ Their forms became black with specific outlines: red for Kimiko, white for Omi, blue for Raimundo, green for Clay.

Omi created water pillars and jumped on them avoiding and smashing the tentacles. Kimiko was jumping on the rocks sending fireballs everywhere, Clay was smashing robots with his rock gloves and Raimundo was above them cutting robots with air blades. Seeing that Jack was heading to his digging machine, Kimiko jumped on his back and touched the wu.

‘Jack, I challenge you to a xiaolin showdown. The game is who ever gets to the top of the cave avoiding the rocks wins. I wager my Star Hanabi against your Monkey Staff’

‘Ohh fine. Let’s go XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!!’

A bright flash of light emerged from the shen-gong-wu and the cave became a giant arena. In the middle was a huge rock pillar and on top of it, it was the Diamond eye. Omi, Raimundo and Clay were on a platform outside the arena and watched as the two competitors took their places.

‘Gong Yi Tanpai’

Rocks started to fall from the top of the cave. Jack used his monkey agility so he could avoid being hit an Kimiko was dodging them using the Star Hanabi. The two of them reached the base of the pillar and started climbing. ‘Hmm, time for me to cheat’ Jack used his staff to throw rocks at Kimiko, which made her anger grow. ‘Jack, if you don’t stop, I will shove that staff in your throat!’

‘Are you gonna say that when you lose too, Kimiko? Hahahaha!’ Then a huge rock hit the place where Jack was standing and he fall down. ‘If you didn’t annoy me, I would have told you about that!’ Smiling she started to jump higher and higher till she grab the wu. In a second everything returned to normal and Kimiko was holding the three shen-gong-wu.

‘Great job, little lady’

‘Sweet, girl’

‘Well done, Kimiko!It’s really not bad seeing that…’ he stopped when he saw the death glare Kimiko was giving him ‘Aaa…hmm…it was very good, I mean!’ ‘That’s a lot better Omi.’

‘Oh, come on! What about me? Just…never mind. I’m going home!’

‘We should get back too. Time to go…gecko!’ Raimuno called out with his usual grinn.

‘For the last time, DON’T CALL ME GECKO!’

Wow, that was long at least for me. Hope you’ll enjoy it. Please tell me if you like it or not so I can continue updating or not. Kisses to all!!
