Chapter Eleven: F is for Faith


Australia: Ayers Rock

It was a Stormy Day in the middle of Spring. Omi was in the middle of a showdown with Vlad. They were both after a small pair of bullhorns called the Bullhorn Blazer.


The challenge

One on One Wrestling Match; whoever knocks out the other fighter out of the ring is the winner. Ten Minutes on the clock.


The Wager

Xiaolin: Mikado Arms

Heylin: Bear Baton


Vald used the Bear Baton to tranform himself into a bear and Omi used the Mikado Arms to block every attack. The others stood on the side lines watching.

Clay: "That no good Vlad isn't playing fair."

Kimiko: "No duh, he has that stupid baton, if only I hadn't lost it from the last Showdown."

Aly: "I hope Omi will be okay."

Amber: "Yeah."

Rai: "Don't worry guys, Omi has done this kind of showdown before, the little dude will be fine."

Aly: "Is that why your knees are shaking?"

She said as Aly points to his knees shivering. Raimundo looks down.

Rai: "No, it's chilly today that's all."

He says in denial. Vlad used his claw to strike Omi, but the little guy dodged it.

Omi: "Mikado Arms!"

He used his bulky muscular arms to pin Vlad down. Ten minutes were up, Omi has won the showdown and everything went back to normal.

Rai: "Nice job little dude."

Clay: "Yeah, you nailed Vlad like a crocodile."

Dojo: "All aboard!"

While the young monks hoped on Dojo's back, Vlad got himself up and became peeved.

Vlad: "Vlad hate being sore loser but don't care! Argh!"

He charged at Omi with full speed. Kimiko sees him.

Kimiko: "Omi! Look out!"

Omi: "Huh?"

Turns his head, sees Vlad. Aly pulls out her Wudai Weapon which is a transparant silver crystal on top of a white gold staff.

Aly: "Tenshi Talisman!"

A beam of light hit Vlad like a number eight ball. The Russian flew across Ayers Rock and held on to the edge before he was out of reach. Dojo and the young monks took off leaving him behind.


Xiaolin Temple: Last Week

The young monks were ready to hit the sack until...

Omi: "Puppy pile!"

Clay: "That's dog pile Omi!"

Rai: "Ahhh!"

Clay and Omi dog piled on Raimundo.

Rai: "Get off me!"

While the boys were rough-housing, Aly and Kimiko were painting eachothers nails.

Kimiko: "Boys are so childish sometimes."

Aly: "Yeah."

She said depressingly.

Kimiko: "Okay girl, what's wrong?"

Aly: "What do you mean?"

Kimiko: "You only want to paint your nails when something's on your mind."

Aly: "Well...it's been about several weeks since I became a Wudai Warrior and I don't have a Wudai Weapon or an elemental Shen Gong Wu."

Kimiko: "You will, sometimes good things come to those who wait."

Aly: "I guess your right."

Then there was a crash! The girls turned around and saw Omi's head stuck in a vase. Raimundo grabbed him while Clay tries to pull his head out of there.

Aly: "How did that happen?"

Rai, Clay, and Omi: "Don't ask."

Amber rushed into the room and panted.

Amber: "Aly!"

Aly: "What's up Amber?"

Kimiko: "And where's Dojo?"

Amber: "He's coming."

Dojo came into the room and panted hard. He collapsed after slithering so fast.

Rai: "Yo, little green dude, you alright?"

Dojo: "Fine."

He got up.

Dojo: "Master Fung wants to see you Aly."

Aly: "What about?"

Dojo: "Don't know, you better ask him yourself."

Aly shrugged and stood up to walk out of the room. She left the room with Amber. The others followed her when Dojo get in their way.

Dojo: "Sorry guys, Master Fung only wants to talk to Aly."

Omi: "Why?"

Dojo: "It's confidential."

Dojo notices Omi has a vase stuck on his halfway.

Dojo: "Omi...why are you wearing a vase on your head?"

Omi: "Long story."

Meanwhile, Aly walked down the hall to find Master Fung sipping tea in the porch at the table.

Master Fung: "Aly Tanner, please sit. There is something very important I must tell you."

Aly walked up to him and sat on the opposite side in front of him.

Aly: "You wanted to see me sir?"

Master Fung: "Aly, it is time for you begin a quest."

Aly: "A quest?"

Master Fung: "Yes, a quest to find your Wudai Weapon."

Aly: "Radical! Looks like we're off to Texas!"

Master Fung: "What do you mean?"

Aly: "My friends told me they found their weapons and the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman in Texas."

Master Fung: "I'm afraid your Wudai Weapon is hidden somewhere else."

Aly: "What? How come?"

Master Fung: "According to the past Great Masters, some weapons are hidden well for a reason."

Aly: "Because the Heylinside would want them to bring the world into a thousand years of darkness right?"

Master Fung: "Exactly."

Aly: "Wait...how am I supposed to find it?"

Master Fung: "The only tools you need are these."

The first item he handed to Aly was a map to her Wudai Weapon. She accepted the map and unrolled it to a look. Her eyes bugged out.

Aly: "WHOA! I can't believe it's hidden there!"

Master Fung: "And also for your protection."

The last item he gave her was an elemental shen gong wu. It was kind of like a shoulder pad except it was sliver with a large yellow topaz sun-shaped stone imbedded in it.

Master Fung: "It's called the Dawn Crystal. It is yours."

Aly felt she was going to shed tears with joy because she was given an important task. She took her Elemental Shen Gong Wu gently.

Aly: "Master Fung, I accept this quest. Thank you."

They both bowed to eachother.

Master Fung: "There is one more thing I must tell you."

Aly: "Let me guess, take a coat, don't talk to strangers, and be home by 10."

She said comically and Master Fung laughed a bit, but became serious.

Master Fung: "No, it's not that."

Aly: "Then, what?"


Back in the Young Monk's Dorm

Omi was able to get his head out of the vase.

Omi: "Let's never rough house again."

Rai and Clay: "Agreed."

Kimiko: Sighs in grief "Boys."

Aly stand in the doorway.

Aly: "Ahem."

Clay: "Howdy Al."

Omi: "What did Master Fung say?"

Kimiko: "Yeah, comon, spill it."

Aly: "Master Fung said I should find my Wudai Weapon."

Kimiko: "Don't tell me. It's in Texas."

Clay: "What's wrong with Texas?"

Aly: "No. It's hidden somewhere else."

Omi: "Cool, let's pack up and go."

Aly: "Wait."

Rai: "What's wrong Aly?"

Aly: "He also said, I should go by myself."

Everyone (Except Rai): "WHAT?!"

Aly: "I know it's shocking, but that's what Master Fung says. But it's not that far."

Clay: You can't go by yourself, what if you run into one of our enemies?"

Rai: "Guys, we should respect Master Fung's decsion."

They all look at Aly with worry.

Aly: "I'll be back in one piece."

Amber: "Do you promise?"

Aly: "Promise."


The Next Morning

It was 5:13 am, the young monks where waiting for Aly. She stepped out of the dorm wearing a deep green sweatsuit and a matching pair of boots. She carries The Black Hole Bag which contains the map, the Polar Paws, Mask of Rio, Falcon's eye, The Horde of Haiku, Cat's Ear, Fifi-Xiaogo, Serphant's Tail, her Dawn Crystal and some snacks/drinks.

Dojo: "Ready to go kid?"

Aly: "Yep."

Raimundo hands Aly the Nimbues Rider. (Incase anyone doesn't remember, it's a board like Sheng Gong Wu that allows the user to fly faster than the speed of light.)

Rai: "You sure you don't want us to escort you? It could be dangerous."

Aly: "Danger is my middle name."

Omi: "I thought it was Johanna."

Aly: "Anyway, like I said last night, I'll be fine. I'll be back either later today or tomorrow morning."

Clay: "Hope so."

Aly: "Nimbus Rider!"

The board extended and Aly quickly hopped on.

Aly: "See you all later! Good luck fighting evil without me!"

She said as Aly flew way, waving goodbye. The young monks waved back. As soon she was out of sight, they walked away to start their chores early except Raimundo. He stares pensively as the sun rises slowly to a new day.

Rai: "Be careful."

He whispered.


Chase Young's Lair

Jack Spicer knocked on Chase's door.

Chase Young: "What is it?!"

Jack Spicer: "I have some valuable information I gathered from the Xiaolin Temple."

The stone door opened and Jack entered with caution.

Jack Spicer: "I..."

Chase Young: "Speak up worm!"

Jack Spicer: "Aly Tanner has left the temple to find her Wudai Weapon. She's all alone."

Chase Young: "Is that all?"

Jack Spicer: "Well, it must be dangerous since she's..."

Chase Young: "Once again you wasted my time."

Jack Spicer: "But..."

A tiger grabbed a part of Jack's coat and dragged him to the door. He got tossed out of Chase's Lair.

Wuya: "What did you do that for?!"

Chase Young: "I already know where Aly is going."

Wuya: "Yes, but what if he knew about the weapon?"

Chase Young: "I rather see it for myself."


Xiaolin Temple: The Next Day

The young monks have a quest of their own...

Rai: "Amber!"

...finding Amber

Clay: "Where are you little dragon lady?"

Kimiko: "Amber!"

Omi: "Come out come out where ever you aren't!"

Kimiko: "It's are Omi, not aren't."

Omi: Same difference."

Master Fung: "What with all the yelling?"

Omi: "Master Fung, we can't find Amber."

Clay: "Ever since Aly left, she just vanished."

Dojo: "Oh my gosh! What if she's been captured by Chase Young?!?!?!"

Master Fung: "I highly doubt Chase Young is behind Amber's disappearance."

Kimiko: "Then where is she?"

Omi: "Huh?"

Clay: "What's wrong Omi?"

Omi: "I sense something coming this way."

Kimiko: "Is it Aly and Amber?"

Omi: "I'm not sure."

Rai: "Stand your ground."

They see a shadow coming from around the corner.

Dojo: "Hey guys, what's new?"

Omi: "We have company."

Dojo: "When you talk like that...IT MUST BE BAD! Ahhhhh!"

He slithered behind the young monks to hide. The figure was getting closer and closer. And then...a giant snow beast popped out.

Young Monks: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Dojo: "Ahhhhhh!"

Amber: "Don't worry guys it's us!"

Young Monks and Dojo: "Amber?!"

Dojo: "But that means..."

The snow melted and it turned out that it was Aly Tanner.

Young Monks: "Aly!"

Aly: "Hey everyone, miss me?"

[Scene shifts from the outside to the inside of the temple]

Aly was sitting on a wooden stool with a cup of hot chocolate in her hands. Raimundo wrapped her in a warm blanket.

Aly: "Guys, I'm okay really, six blankets is enough."

Clay: "So tell us Al, how was your journey?"

Omi: "Did you find your Wudai Weapon?"

Kimiko: "What does it look like?"

Dojo: Did you get hurt?"

Rai: "Where did you go?"

Master Fung: "Young monks, your thirst for knowledge is good, but asking questions at the same time is like over watering the plants, too much of it can be a bad thing."

Aly: "My journey began after I left the Xiaolin Temple..."


Aly's Flashback

Aly: "I cannot believe my Wudai weapon is somewhere in...the Himalayas."

She sees a large row of snow covered mountains.

"Me either."

Aly: "Who said that?"

"I did."

The voice came from her bag and it's head popped out. It was Amber.

Aly: "Amber?! What are you doing here? You know you're not supposed be here."

Amber: "I felt lonely."

Aly: "Does Master Fung know about this?"

Amber: "No, but please don't tell."

Aly: "Fine, but you have to be quiet; the walls have eyes."

Amber: "What walls?"

Aly: "Never mind just stay in the bag."

Amber: "Good idea, it's freezing out here."

Aly: "I have a pair of socks in there you could use as a sleeping bag."

Amber: "Thanks."

She slithered back into the bag and Aly took another look at the map.

Aly: "According to this map, my wudai weapon is somewhere hidden in the heart of the mountian."

Aly took another look at the mountain range and became overwhelmed.

Aly: "Better get started."

She continued to walk toward the destination of her weapon. An hour and a half has passed, Aly stumbled upon a stone bridge linking to the mountian. What was strange about this bridge is there's not a speck of snowflake on it. She took another look at the map to make sure she was on the right track, and she was.

Aly: "At least I don't have to worry about slipping."

Amber's head popped out of the Black Hole Bag and looked at the bridge.

Amber: "I don't know Aly, what if this is a trap?"

Aly: "If it was, it wouldn't be on the map."

She continued walking.

Aly: "This isn't so bad."

But then a giant beast appeared before her; it was 7.5 feet tall, a gorilla-like face, black eyes, blue and silver shaggy hair, four arms, bulky, big feet, and wears a gladiator outfit.

Aly: "Now that is ugly."

Amber: "What's ugly? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Monster!"

The beast roared.

Amber: "That creature must've been sent by Chase Young or Hannibal Bean!"

Aly: "I don't care if that thing was sent by Jack Spicer, I'm not going to let a Yeti wannabe to get in my way! Beat it fuzzball!!!"

It roared again, raised a battle club, and charged at Aly. She summoned her new Wudai powers to defeat the beast.

Aly: "Wudai Nova Light!"

She shot a blast of pure energy at the bizarre looking monster but it deflected her attack.

Aly: "That should've worked."

Amber: "You better think of something fast, because he's going to attack!"

The beast swung it's club and blasted dark rays coming from it's eyes to hit Aly, but she successfully dodged every blow. Now would be a good time to use my elemental shen gong wu. Aly thought was she pulled it out and placed on her shoulder. She raised her hand in front of her.

Aly: "Dawn Crystal-Wudai Nova Light!"

The Dawn Crystal glowed and gold colored metal glove covered her arm like Raimundo's elemental shen gong wu except the arm part is a criss cross design. A spiral of light blasted out of it and tied up the beast. She grabbed the end of it and used it to toss the blue monster to the side. It fell over and it's roar echoed in the abyss. The light dissappeared.

Aly: "Wow, that was amazing."

Amber: "I'll say."

Aly: "Let's go."

Amber: "Aaachooo!"

Aly: "Bless you."

Amber: "Thanks. How much longer?"

Aly: "Well, we're not too far, we just have to walk through this valley, and once we get to the end there will be a path which will lead us to an entrance somewhere on the side a large mountain."

Amber: "No, I mean how much longer until I get spilt ends. This cold air is so not good for my hair."

Aly sighes in grief and continued marching. The wall of the valley were very steep.

Aly: "It's quiet."

Amber: "Yeah, three quiet."

Aly: "Don't you mean too quiet?"

Amber: "That too."

Aly: "You really have got to stop hanging around Omi all the time."

There was a moaning around.

Aly: "What was that?"

Amber: "It sounds like a moose with a sore throat."

Aly: "It's the valley! It's alive!"

Amber: "Eeek!"

The moaning stopped. There was a long silence, and then...the valley started to shake.

Aly: "Avalache!"

Rocks and snow came tumbling down the sides of the valley. Aly used her speed to try to get out of ther before she's buried alive and dodged every rock.

Aly: "Hang on Amber!"

But she wasn't able to escape. An hour has passed, and silence fill the air until...

Aly: "Ahhhhhh!"

Aly escaped the pile of snow and rocks using the Serphant's Tail and survived the cold using the Polar Paws.

Aly: "That was too close."

Amber: "Yeah, three close."

Aly: "Don't start. Well, it looks like it's getting late."

Amber: "I'm tired, and hungry."

Aly: "How can you be tired? I did all the walking. Come on, let's keep going and then we can camp for the night."

Aly continued walking. Chase Young and Wuya were watching them from the edge of the valley.

Wuya: "Argh! She is impossible!"

Chase Young: "Relax, we'll take her out. One way or another."


Later that Night

Aly and Amber were sleeping inside the Fifi Xiaogo. But then, something was growling from the outside and woke Amber. She shivered wondering what is out there.

Amber: "Aly! Piss! Aly!"

She whispred. Aly moaned and opened one eye.

Aly: "What is it?"

Amber: "There's something out there!"

Aly: "I don't hear anything."

Amber: "But there is I know it!"

Aly: "If I go and check it out, will you go back to sleep?"

Amber nodded and Aly stepped out of the tent. She took a look around the campsite. Aly was about to go back into the tent, when she heard a twig snap and quickly turned around. She knew something was out there.

Aly: "Looks like we have company."

She said underneath her breath. A samurai warrior jumped put of the bushes and landed on the ground on his feet.

Aly: "Hey Amber, you were right, something is out here. One of Chase Young's scummy tigers."

Amber: "What should we do?"

The little pink dragon yelled from inside the tent.

Aly: "You stay inside, I'll take care of him or should I say /them/."

More of Chase Young's warriors appeared and ready to fight, and so was Aly. She held up three Shen Gong Wu in her hands and called out their names.

Aly: "Mask of Rio! Cat's Ear! Falcon's Eye!"

By using the three, she was able to blend in with the environment so no one could see her, see through the dark, and hear things better incase of a sneak attack. The tiger warriors were puzzled by her disappearance. They looked around to find her, but the Amazon Warrior got kicked to the side and ran into the wolf man. The wolf man charged at him, but the Amazon Warrior stepped aside and the wolf man pushed the samurai. Long story short; the tiger warriors began to attack eachother, while they were distracted Aly grabbed Amber and her things.

Amber: "But what about them?"

Aly: "Don't worry, they're way too busy to notice us. Come on, we better go. Fifi Xiaogo."

The dog-like tent returned to it's travel size. Aly placed it back in the bag and they continued their journey to find the Wudai Weapon.


The Next Day

The sun slowly began to rise as our heros reached their final destination. They see a large entrance with a bunch of strange writing on the stone door.

Amber: "Wow, it's as almost as tall as the Great Wall. But how do we get inside?"

Aly: "Obviously the inscriptions on the door must be the combination to opening it."

Amber: "It looks like it's incrypted."

Aly: "Relax, that's what the Horde of Haiku is for."

She pulled it out and held it up to the door.

Aly: "Horde of Haiku!"

The Horde of Haiku scanned the writing and translated it into english.

Aly: "It says /place a right hand on a silver slab embedded on the door in front of you and recite this oath to prove that you are truely pure/."

Amber: "That sounds easy."

Aly: "Not really, it also says /if thou are not pure, ye shall be punished severely/. Well it it goes."

She placed her hand on the slab, and recited the oath.

Aly: "I maybe a vessel, but my soul is pure, I am the light that brightens, even in the darkest of nights."

The slab glowed and the doors opened wide. She cautiously walked inside, trying not to trigger a trap.

Amber: "Wow, this place looks like a temple."

Aly: "It is a temple. And check out the writing, it is the same as the writing at the underground temple back home."

They continued walking down the dim lit ally. They were halfway through the temple and came upon two large statue warriors gaurding a big golden door. Aly heard a rumbling sound.

Amber: "Please don't tell me the temple is caving in."

Aly: "No worse."

The statues started to move.

Amber: "Ahhhhhh!"

Aly: "Don't panic!"

Amber: "Easy for you to say!"

The two statues began to attack. They were about to crush her with their fist at the same time, but Aly dodged it by jumping into the air and used the helicopter kick manuever to get them to knock eachother over like dominos. The rocky titans crumbled like cookies being smashed by a child's hand. Aly landed on the ground leopard style.

Amber: "Wow Aly, you're getting stronger by the minute, what is your secret?"

Aly: "It's no secret, it's faith that gives me the strength to tackle anty problem I would face, no matter how big or small."

Amber: "I see."

That must be it. Amber thought. Aly opened the doors and entered large white room with crystal statues of cloaked people standing in a circle. She sees a staff being placed at the center of the room;

Aly: "That must be my Wudai Weapon, the legendary Tenshi Talisman."

Yes, the Tenshi Talisman, it is said from one of the ancient scrolls it's the most powerful Wudai Weapon of all.

Amber: "Wow it's so pretty."

Aly carefully walked toward the Tenshi Talisman.

Amber: "Becareful Aly, this place could be triggered with traps too."

Aly: "I don't think so."

Amber: "Huh?"

Aly: "I don't know why but this place..."

But she got interrupted when Jack Spicer appeared.

Jack Spicer: "I suggest you stand back and let me take the weapon."

He said as he walked toward the Tenshi Talisman.

Amber: "Jack, I don't think you should..."

Aly covered Amber's mouth

Jack Spicer: "I'm not going to make the same mistake again, this time I'm taking your Wudai Weapon and use it to take over the Xiaolin Temple. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

When Jack reached his hand out to take it, a crystal like creature looming over him. He turned around, saw it, and screamed.

Jack Spicier: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Please don't hurt me!"

The creature grabbed him and they both went through the floor. The room became silent again and Aly removed her hand from Amber's mouth.

Amber: "Is that what you were going to tell me before Jack showed up?"

Aly: "Yep."

She said and retrieved her Wudai Weapon.

Aly: "Let's get out of here, I promised my friends I'd be home soon."


Outside of the Cave

Aly stepped out of the cave and was about to pull out the Nimbus Rider, but Chase Young and Wuya arrived. She got into a fighting stance.

Chase Young: "So you've managed to retrieve your wudai weapon in one piece, I don't know whether to be impressed or disguested."

Aly: "Back off pretty boy!"

Wuya: "Why don't you be a good little girl and hand over that Wudai Weapon along with your elemental shen gong wu?"

Aly: "I rather get my butt kicked by Jack Spicer."

Chase Young: "Then let's settle this the hard way."

Aly: "Bring it."

Chase Young struck two fingers to the ground and black lightening cracked the surface summoning a giant ugly rock creature.

Aly: "I knew this was too easy."

She pulled her Dawn Crystal and placed it on her shoulder and grabbed her Tenshi Talisman.

Wuya: "That's your wudai weapon? HA!"

Aly: "You won't be laughing when you see what this thing can really do. Dawn Crystal-Tenshi Talisman!"

A flash of light gathered alot of snow and created a Snow Dragon Guardian!

Chase Young: "Do you honestly think snow can beat rock?"

Aly: "Hey buddy I'm new at this! Give me a break!"

The rock creature and the Snow Dragon Gaurdian beagn to attack eachother, but the fight caused an avalache. A wave of snow loomed over them.

Aly's flashback ended

Omi: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Raimundo covered Omi's mouth.

Clay: "So how did you escape?"

Aly: "Just when I thought it was impossible to get out of that situation, I used the Nimbus Rider to get the heck out of there. Chase Young and Wuya escaped too and the temple was compeletely buried."

Dojo: "But how did you get covered in snow?"

Aly: "Oh. That. Well, on my way here, I accidently fell and landed in the snow."

Master Fung: "You did an excellent job on your journey Aly."

Omi: "Could you show us this wudai weapon of yours?"

Aly: "Sure, here it is."

She said as Aly pulled out her Wudai Weapon. The Young Monks were in awe by the craftsmanshift. Dojo suddenly got a rash.

Dojo: "Break time is over kids, a Shen Gong Wu has been activated."

He pulled out the Acient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu.

Dojo: "It's called the Bullhorn Blazer; it has the ability to transform into a raging bull, capable of attacking or scaring the enemy."

Rai: "We better get going."

Amber: "But Aly just got here."

Aly: "No need to fear Amber, after what I've been through yesterday and this morning, I can handle antything."

Clay: "That's the spirit."

They all head out the door and got on Dojo's back the moment he changed.

Kimiko: "But there's still one thing I don't get, whatever happened to Jack?"

Aly: "I dunno, and whocares."


Meanwhile around the same time

Jack Spicer: "Help! Someone!"

He has being hanged by his underwear by a tree branch in his front yard.
