Chapter Five: Burying the Past

~~Xiaolin Temple~~

It was the first day of autumn at the Xiaolin Temple. The young monks were doing their assigned chores; Clay was chopping and gathering firewood for winter coming up, Kimiko was mopping the floor of the Meditation Hall, Raimundo was taking out the garbage, Omi was washing the windows, and Aly was dusting. After they were done; the young monks meet up at the porch to rest before continuing. Dojo was sitting on the steps.

Dojo: "How's it going?"

Rai: "Aye, that garbage was rank yo."

Aly: "At least we got them done."

Kimiko: "Yeah, but we still got a few more left."

Clay: "What do have left?"

Omi pulled out a list of chores Master Fung gave them out of his sleeve. He unrolled it and read it out loud.

Omi: "We still have to; scrub the bathroom floors, clean the bird house, pull the weeds, wash the dishes, wash clothes, clean Dojo and Amber's litter boxes, water the plants, and clean the gutters. I was kidding about the gutters."

Aly: "Actually I already took care of the litter boxes; so there are seven chores left."

Everyone stared at her with amazement.

Aly: "What? Is it something I said?"

Kimiko: "Aly, you're the bravest girl I've ever known."

Rai: "Okay, there are seven chores left and there are five of us. Let's decide who wants to do what."

Clay: "I would like to take care of the garden stuff."

Omi: "I'll scrub the bathroom floors and wash the dishes."

Kimko: "And I'll clean the bird house."

Rai: "I'll take care of the laundry then."

Aly: "But what can I do?"

Dojo: "Glad you asked Aly. I was hoping that you could catalogue the new Sheng Gong Wu we've got and the ones we've lost. Basically it's just paper work and I'm way behind."

Aly: "Okay."

Rai: "Sounds boring, but you are the right person to do it."

Aly: "And what does that supposed to mean?"

Rai: "Well, you did mention you used to volunteer at the library, helping out with organizing and junk."

Aly: "Are you saying I'm a bookworm?"

Rai: "No, not at all. Okay maybe a little...yeah you're pretty much a bookworm."

She pushed Raimundo and walked away.

Aly: "Come on Dojo."

Dojo: "Right behind you Al."

Dojo follows her. Raimundo got up and rubbed his backside to make the pain go away.

Omi: "Ooo, Raimundo, you are so broken."

Rai: "That's busted."

Clay: "You should really learn how to talk to a lady properly."

Kimiko: "Yeah, just because she reads books, doesn't mean you should pick on her."

Rai: "I didn't to pick on her on purpose."

Omi: "Here a tip Raimundo; all girls are very sensitive, so be careful on what you say or do."

Kimiko: "What do you mean /all girls/?!"

Omi: "I have read somewhere that girls are...um...emotional; for example you sometimes get very angry."

Kimiko: "I'LL SHOW YOU ANGRY!"

Omi: "Ahhh!"

Kimiko chases Omi all around the porch.Clay sighs and looks back at Raimundo.

Clay: "Anyway Rai, just remember to think before you speak."


~~Jack Spicer's Lair~~

Jack Spicer was buliding one of his robots. He was unaware of the huge figure standing behind, the stranger tapped on his shoulder, and Jack screamed like a girl. He jumped into the air and held on to the ceiling. Jack turned his head to see who it was; it was a huge Russian guy with very short blond hair, blue yes, bushy eyebrows, and has a missing tooth. It was Vlad.

Vlad: "Hello Jack. Long time, not seeing much."

Jack Spicer: "Vlad!"

He yells as he releases his grip in the ceiling and lands on the floor.

Jack Spicer:"What are you doing here?"

Vlad: "I heard rumor on internet that you got your kister kicked by a Dragon in Training."

Vlad laughs.

Jack Spicer: "What I'm working on is more important! Anyway, what do you what?"

Vlad: "Funny thing you mention it Jack. I heard there is a secret underground temple that was built along time ago."

Jack Spicer: "So?"

Vlad: "They say the old Xiaolin Temple was built my the mystics from another world."

He said out of excitement.

Vlad: "That's not best part, I know the exact location. Come."

Jack Spicer: "Okay, but next time when you come over, please knock first? Or at least call."


~~Scroll Room at Xiaolin Temple~~

Aly, and Dojo are looking over some paper work; Dojo is making a list of the Sheng Gong Wu that have been won over and another of the one they lost in a showdown, Aly is also making up a list of the dates, and the new Sheng Gong Wu they got.

Dojo: "Let's see according to this list, the only Sheng Gong Wu we lost was the Ants in the Pants and it was with Tubbimura. These bad guys are getting pretty sloppy. How's that catalogue going Aly?"

Aly: "It's finished."

Dojo: "Really? Wow, that's fast. Can I take a look?"

Aly: "Sure."

She handed Dojo the list, and he read it through to make sure there are no errors;

New Sheng Gong Wu

1. Rainbow Star- this strange Shen Gong Wu causes things to be rainbow colored.

2. Cube of Haniku- The Cube of Haniku creates ironic situations for one's opponents.

3. Bear Baton- A brown baton Shen Gong Wu that allows the user to transform into a bear.

4. Culver Crystal- This amulet has the appearance of a white crystal inside a clear globe. It creates a glittering sphere of light to distract one's enemies or light dark areas.

5. The Nimbus Rider- a board like Sheng Gong Wu that allows the user to fly faster than the speed of light.

He was pleased by the results.

Dojo: "Good job Aly."

Aly: "Thanks Dojo, I can't believe we've got so much."

Dojo: "I know. I'm surprised as you are."

Amber slithered into the Scroll Room.

Amber: "Hey guys."

Aly & Dojo: "Hey Amber."

Amber: "Dojo, Master Fung wants to see you for a minute, he says it's important."

Dojo: "Okay."

He said as he gathered the paperwork.

Dojo: "I better get going Aly. Would you do me a favor and check the other scrolls to see if they're in order?"

Aly: "Sure, no prob."

Dojo slithers out of the room, leaving Amber and Aly alone.

Amber: "Hey Aly, guess what."

Aly: "What?"

She asked as she organizes the scrolls.

Amber: "I'm almost this close to flying."

Aly: "That's so cool Amber."

Amber: "You wanna see?"

Aly: "Totally, just let me finish..."

But Aly got interrupted when Amber took off. She wasn't able to control it; Amber keeps bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball.

Aly: "Wha!"

She ducked just before Amber ran into her, and then she crashed into the bookshelf and fell. When Amber came to; she sees the bookshelf tipping over, about to fall on her and she slithered away just in time before the bookshelf landed! It crashed with a big boom!

Amber: "Oops."

Aly: "Oh no, if Master Fung sees this there's no telling how mad he'll get."

Aly walked over to the bookshelf to lift it up back into the wall, but when she lifted it up, it was lighter than a regular bookshelf. That made Aly suspicious.

Aly: "I don't remember bookshelves being this heavy."

Amber: "Hey, the scrolls."

Aly: "What about them?"

Amber: "They're painted on and this is no bookshelf, it's a crate!"

Amber: "You're kidding?! Why would Master Fung need a crate and make it look like an ordinary bookshelf?"

Aly was curious about it too, but then she sees a drawing what looks like a door. She stepped over the crate and stood outside of it just to take a closer look. There were strange markings on the sides. When she touched it, the markings glowed and the wall suddenly slides open, which reveals a stone staircase leading into the darkness.

Amber: "What did you do?"

Aly: "Nothing, all I did was touch one of the markings, and then it opened automatically."

They both looked down at the staircase.

Amber: "I wonder where it leads to."

Aly: "I'll be right back."

She off to change into her favorite outfit and ran back.

Aly: "Let's check it out."

Amber: "I don't know, shouldn't we get the others?"

Aly: "They're busy doing chores, and we're only going to take a quick look."

Amber: "Okay, but maybe we should grab some Sheng Gong Wu, you know incase if we ran into trouble."

Aly: "If we do, they'll get suspicious, besides it looks like this place hasn't been used for centuries. Plus; I still have the Culvar Crystal with me. I was using it when I was cleaning under the sofa to see better. Let's go."

Amber: sighs "I've got a bad feeling about this."

They both walked down the staircase with caution.


~~In the Woods~~

Jack Spicer and Vlad landed somewhere near the Xiaolin Temple without being detected. They both jumped out of the jet plane, and Jack Spicer pressed the button on his watch to transform the jet into a capsule and puts it in his pocket.

Vlad: "Come, comrade jack, this way."

Jack Spicer: "You know, you still haven't told me why we're going there."

Vlad: "Legend has it that the mystics hid something inside the old Xiaolin Temple. No one knows what it is, but I know one thing for sure, it's more powerful than the monks and the wu."

Jack Spicer: "I definitely like the sound of that. But how are we going to get to the underground temple without getting caught. You said it yourself they built a new one over it."

Vlad: "There is cave which has secret door that will lead us to our destination."

Jack Spicer: "This day keeps getting better and better!"

Vlad: "Shhh! be quiet! There is cave."

Jack nodded and they both entered the cave, but when he saw a spider landing on his nose, Jack screamed real loud.


~~Dining Area~~

The Young Monks were just getting ready for lunch.

Clay: "Man, I'm so hungry I can eat a horse."

Omi: "Clay! That is most disgusting!"

Kimiko: "It's just an expression Omi."

Omi: "Oh."

Rai: "Hey where's Aly? I haven't seen her since this morning."

Clay: "Maybe she's still working on that catalogue."

Kimiko: "It shouldn't take her this long."

Omi: "Something just doesn't feel right. I can sense it."

Clay: "I know, it's not like her to be late. I even made her favorite tofu burger."

Dojo appeared in the dining area.

Dojo: "Hey guys, have you seen Amber?"

Rai: "Amber's missing too?"

Dojo: "Too? Who else is missing?"

Omi: "Aly."

Rai: "Comon, let's check the scroll room. Maybe Amber is with her."

They all ran to the scroll room, but when they got there, they couldn't believe what say saw.

Clay: "Looks like a tornado has been here."

Kimiko noticed the mysterious doorway.

Kimiko: "Hey guys, has that doorway always been there before?"

Omi: "Dojo, do you now about this?"

Dojo: "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen it. But I did hear a rumor that there used to be an old temple before they made this one 1500 years ago. That's all I know."

Clay: "Do you think those two went in there?"

Rai: "Well I'm not taking any chances, I say we get our Wu and go down there and find them before they run into trouble."

The young monks went into the vault to equip themselves with Sheng Gong Wu, and their Wudai Weapons. They have; the Eye of Dashi, the Two Ton Tunic, the Falcon's Eye, Shroud of Shadows, Changing Chopsticks, Sphere of Yun, Fist of Tebigong, Star Hannabi, Golden Tiger Claws, Sword of the Storm, Orb of Tornami, and Third Arm Sash in their bag. They also went to their bunk rooms to change into their regular clothes, Kimiko is wearing her safari outfit. The young monks headed back to the scroll room.

Dojo: "Well, I would like to wish you guys luck."

Kimiko: "Nice try Dojo, but you're coming with us."

Rai: "I'll go first to be if it's okay."

Omi: "Or maybe you're hoping you would rescue Aly from a monster like a Knight in Shining Armor."

He said teasingly and Raimundo becomes irritated.

Clay: "Now's not a good time partner."

Rai: "Let's move out."

Omi: "I thought we were going in."

Kimiko: "It's an expression Omi, he means let's go."

Omi: "Then why didn't he just say that?"

The young monks entered the door searching for their friends.


~~Meanwhile~~

Aly and Amber are still following the path. They were 2 miles below. Luckily the Culvar Crystal helped them light the way.

Aly: "I wonder how far it is."

Amber: "I'm not sure, I'm more concerned about what's down here."

Aly: "Look!"

She pointed her finger at the double red Chinese doors.

Amber: "What's it doing here?"

Aly: "That's what we're going to find out. Comon!"

Aly ran toward the doors.

Amber: "But but..." sighs

Aly pushed the door wide open, they stepped inside and stood in amazement.

Amber: "Aly, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

Aly: "Yeah. But I can't believe it. Let's take a closer look."

Aly and Amber headed toward the old temple unaware of the danger they'll run into.


Meanwhile

The Xiaolin Warriors continue walking down the path in hopes of finding Aly and Amber. They found an open door.

Omi: "What luck, Aly and Amber have been here."

Rai: "Gee, you think?"

Raimundo said sarcastically. Kimiko walked toward the opened doors.

Kimiko: "Hey guys! You've got to see this!"

She said as she stood behind the doorway. The others entered, and their jaws dropped.

Rai: "Whoa!"

Omi: "It looks like a Xiaolin Temple, except it's older and much different from the one above."

Clay: "But how did it get down here?"

Dojo: "I'm more afraid of what lives down here."

Kimiko: "What are you talking about Dojo? The place is deserted."

Dojo: "Well who or what do you think built those steps?"

Omi: "Dojo's right, we better be careful, someone or something might still be here."

Rai: "We'll worry about that later; right now we have to find Aly and Amber."

Clay: "How can we? It's like finding a couple of needles in a monster sized haystack."

Rai: "Enough with the cowboy talk Clay!"

Clay:"Well you don't have to yell."

Omi: "Kimiko, did you put a tracking device on her cell phone or on Amber?"

Kimiko: "No, even if I did, the signal would be weak."

Dojo: "Uh guys?"

Everyone: "What?!"

Dojo: "How about we just follow their tracks?"

Dojo pointed to Aly's foot prints on the ground, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Rai: "We better get going."

Clay, Omi, & Kimiko: "Right."

They followed the footprints; leading to the temple.

~~In the cave~~

Jack Spicer: "Are we there yet? This place is starting to reek."

Vlad: "No need to whine Jack, we are here. Here is door."

He shows Jack Spicer an old door.

Jack Spicer: "This is it; the door to the underground temple?"

He said, sounding unsatisified.

Jack Spicer: "This whole thing is lame!"

But when Vlad opened it, Jack's jaw dropped.

Jack Spicer: "Wow!"

Vlad: "See? Now, let's find item. Watch step."

Jack Spicer: "Are you saying I'm unquardinated? Because I..."

He got cut off when he tripped and tumbled down. Jack crashed into the wall. Vlad looked down.

Vlad: "I told you to watch step!"

Jack felt dizziness and pain at the same time, but then; he sees a strange figure floating over the temple. He screamed.

Jack Spicer: "Ahhhhhhh!"

Vlad caught up with Jack.

Vlad: "What with screaming?"

Jack Spicer: "There's something floating up there."

He pointed to where he saw the figure.

Vlad: "I see nothing. You obviously need glasses or new goggles."

Jack Spicer: "But I'm telling you I saw something!"

Vlad: "Yeah right, and tooth fairy is my grandma. Comon."

They both walked around to find an entrance.


~~Inside the Old Temple/In the hallway~~

Aly and Amber were exploring the temple.

Aly: "You know what I've noticed since we got here?"

Amber: "What?"

Aly: "The writing on the walls and the architecture; they're not from this world."

Amber: "Are you saying; the monks who used to live here are aliens?!"

Aly: "No, I'm not saying that, I'm just saying they look like they were from another world. I did not say they are."

Amber: "Phew. That's good. But I do agree; this temple is pretty unusual."

Aly sees a figure flying by at the corner of her eye.

Aly: "Whoa!"

Amber: "What?! What is it?"

Aly: "I thought I saw something."

Amber: "Is it Chase Young again?"

Aly: "No, it was flying. Maybe I'm just imagining things."

The lanterns suddenly lit up.

Aly: "Okay, now that is weird."

Amber: "At least we have more light."

Aly: "True, but I still think there's something supernatural going on."

She puts the Culvar Crystal in her pocket on the side of her blue jeans; they continue to walk down the hallway.


~~Old Temple/Training Field~~

Dojo: "Looks like the trail ended here."

Kimiko: "This place definitely needs a makeover."

Omi: "Everyone take a look at the writing."

Clay: "What writing?"

Omi: "On the wall."

Clay was surprised.

Clay: "They guys get over here."

Raimundo and Kimiko ran toward where Omi and Clay are.

Rai: "What's up?"

Omi: "Take a look at his writing."

Rai & Kimiko: "Whoa."

Dojo slithered to see the writing.

Rai: "This is like something I'd expect from Atlantis."

Kimiko: "I was thinking more of the Tower of Babble. Do you think they could be related?"

Dojo: "Are you sure, they look like decorative paintings to me."

He suddenly picked up something with his nose, and sniffed around.

Dojo: "Hey, I got something!"

Omi: "What is it?"

Dojo: "I know this may sound weird but I smell...juniper."

Kimiko: "/Juniper Breeze/!"

Rai: "What?"

Kimiko: "It's a perfume, Aly wears it all the time."

Clay: "That's great! Dojo can be like a blood hound so we can track down Aly and Amber."

The Xiaolin Warriors hear something coming from the right side of the old temple. They went over there to check it out. They hid behind the corner. It was Jack Spicer and Vlad climbing over the wall.

Clay: "What are those two varmints doing here?"

Omi: "I'm more concerned on how they got here without us noticing."

Kimiko: "We better find Aly and Amber quick."

Dojo sniffed again to pick up that Juniper perfume, and when he got it, the Xiaolin Warriors followed him.


~~Back in the Hallway~~

Aly and Amber have been walking through the lit hallway. They realized they are actually following a trail.

Amber: "Aly? I'm getting this feeling that someone or something is leading us somewhere."

Aly: "I have that feeling too."

They kept walking until they saw a door at the end of the hallway.

Amber: "I was right!"

She said out of fright. Aly opened the door carefully.

Amber: "What are you doing?"

Aly: "Listen Amber, I think we can trust whoever is contacting us."

Amber: "Ummm, okay."

The door was wide open; and they both went inside. The room they entered was like the Meditation Hall but much bigger and made of gemms. ((It was like something out of W.I.C.T.H. It's a tv show)).

Amber: "Wow, it's very..."

Aly: "Angelic?"

Amber: "Yeah."

They looked around the room.

Aly: "I don't know why but, it feels as though I've been here before."

Amber: "Me too."

Amber & Aly: "Weird."

Aly: "Look at all these books!"

Aly was pleased because she love to read books, and she was curious about what's written inside them. I wish the others were here. She thought, but then she remembered that bookworm comment Raimundo told her; Sounds boring, but you are the right person to do it/. She still couldn't get it out of her mind. /Okay, I know that's not what he ment, but it's how he said it. Why does he always pick on me? There's more to me than books! Maybe I did over react a bit. Aly thought as she walks toward the steps and leaned on the pedestal. She sees a big jade talisman sitting on it; Aly stood behind the pedestal and touched it.

Aly: "Wow, it's beautiful."

Amber: "What is?"

She asked as slithers to the pedestal and up to Aly's shoulder.

Aly: "This talisman."

The talisman started to glow white; the pedestal splits in half, and a pillar pops out with an ancient black & gold book on the top. She picked it up.

Aly: "What is this?"

Amber: "I dunno."

She said as the pillar disappears and the pedestal was whole again. Suddenly, there was a big crash! They look straight ahead; it was Jack Spicer and some Russian guy.

Aly: "JACK SPICER?!"

Jack Spicer: "ALY TANNER?!"

Aly & Jack Spicer: "What are you doing here?!"

Vlad: "Ahh, so this is Aly Tanner; the girl who kicked your kister. Hahaha."

Jack Spicer: "Not now Vlad."

Amber: "Vlad? That's a funny name."

Jack Spicer: "Who's that?"

Amber: "My name is Amber and that's all you need to know."

Jack Spicer: "Why you little..."

Vlad: "Jack we have no time; we need to get what we came for."

Jack Spicer: "Oh right, JACK BOTS SURROUND!"

The jack bots flew in and surrounded Aly & Amber.

Aly: "Is that all?"

Jack Spicer: "I'm not done. Jack bots arm yourselves."

Their weapons popped out of their armor.

Aly: "What is it that you want?"

Jack Spicer: "Don't play dumb! You know what it is!"

Aly: "Actually I don't."

Amber whispers to Aly.

Amber: "Aly! I think they want the book."

Jack Spicer: "Quit stalling! Give it to us now!"

Aly slipped the book into her pouch.

Aly: "Forget it goth geek! Now take a hike, you could use the excerise."

Amber giggles.

Jack Spicer: "All right that's it! JACK BOTS ATTACK!"

The jack bots charged and shoot lasers at them. Amber quickly hides behind the pedestal. Aly dodges the lasers and attacks them.

Aly: "LIGHT!"

She attacks them using Savate. Aly was able to take out eight but there was too many of them! Suddenly a voice echoed into the room.

"Hey is a private party or can we join?"

That rhetorical question came from Raimundo! And the Xiaolin warriors have arrived just in time!

Jack Spicer & Vlad: "What?!"

Jack Spicer: "How did you guys get here?"

Vlad: "And how is it you were able to find us?"

Clay: "Funny we were going to ask yall the same thing."

Jack Spicer: "JACK BOTS! GET RID OF THEM!"

The jack bots continued to fight. Aly joined the Xiaolin Warriors and they pulled out their Sheng Gong Wu at random. The fight was on!

Rai: "Sword of the Storm-wind!"

Kimiko: "Star Hannabi-fire!"

Omi: "Fist of Tebigong-Earth!"

Clay: "Orb of Tornami-Water!"

Aly: "Eye of Dashi!"

But something went wrong; the Sheng Gong Wu was not working.

Kimiko: "What's going on?"

Omi: "This is bad. Our Sheng Gong Wu are not responding."

Rai: "Yeah, but not Aly's."

Aly keeps zapping the robots with the Eye of Dashi.

Clay: "Now what are we supposed to do now?"

Rai: "Time to kick their butts' old school!"

They used their martial art skills to take out every robot Jack can throw. After the fight was over, all of them were fried, and surprisingly nothing in the room was damaged. Everyone cheered at their small victory.

Dojo: "Good job guys."

Amber: "That's was absolutely splendid."

Rai: "It was no big deal."

Kimiko: "Hey where's Jack and Vlad?"

Aly just remembered about why those two creeps were here for and she found out that her pouch is missing!

Aly: "Oh no! My pouch! I must've accidently dropped it during the fight!"

Kimiko: "Don't tell me you left the Culvar Crystal in there."

Aly: "Believe me Kimiko, I think they want something more important than a Sheng Gong Wu."

Clay: "What are you talking about Aly?"

Aly: "I'll explain later, right now we have to find my pouch before they do."

Omi: "I'm afraid we're too late. They're gone."

Everyone found themselves alone.

Aly: "Oh no they must've escaped while we were fighting. I'm such an idiot! It's all my fault!"

Rai: "No you're not Aly."

Kimiko: "Yeah, things like this happen to us sometimes."

Clay: "We'll get your bag back."

Aly: "Thanks guys."

Omi: "We're your friends Aly, we stick together like tree sap."

Clay: "That's glue Omi."

Omi: "What? That makes no sense."

Dojo: "Hey guys I hate to interrupt but where's Amber?"

Amber: "I'm right here!"

Everyone turned their heads to the pedestal where Amber is sitting on. They walked toward her.

Aly: "Are you okay Amber?"

Kimiko: "Where did you go?"

Amber: "I just came back here to get Aly's pouch."

She pulled it out.

Rai: "What did they take?"

Amber: "Nothing."

Aly: "Really?"

Amber: "I know I was surprised as you are."

Dojo: "What are you two talking about?"

Clay: "Yeah, don't leave us in the dark."

Aly: "Amber and I were just exploring this temple when we ended up in this place. And then this book appeared out of nowhere, and those guys showed up saying they came to get the item. We thought they came here for the book. How they got here is still a mystery. By the way how were you able to find us?"

Rai: "We mostly followed your tracks, and Dojo sniffed you out."

Aly: "Cool, very resourceful."

Kimiko: "But what about that book?"

Aly: "Oh yeah."

She pulled it out of her pack and showed it to them.

Omi: "The letters look exactly like the ones we saw on the wall!"

Rai: "Yeah but what is it?"

Amber: "Well, to be honest we don't know."

Dojo: "Guys let's get out of here now."

Omi: "Why?"

Dojo: "Because this place is haunted!"

Clay: "What a Dojo."

Rai: "Chill Dojo, just be glad Aly and Amber left the lights on for us."

Amber: "Ummm, Raimundo?"

Aly: "We didn't lit up the hallway."

Amber: "We thought you did."

Kimiko: "If you didn't turn the lights on, who did?"

They heard someone breathing. It came from the pedestal, they around their heads and see a ghostly figure. They went bug-eyed. It waved to them and they freaked out.

Xiaolin Warriors, Dojo, and Amber: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

They ran out of the temple quickly and went back to the way they came and up the stairs.

Rai: "Comon! The opening is right over..."

He stopped talking when he slammed into the wall because he wasn't looking. Raimundo fell after that and got up.

Clay: "Where's the doorway?!"

Rai: "I don't know!"

Kimiko: "It disappeared just like that?"

Omi: "We've got to get out!"

Aly: "Hold on let me see."

She touched the wall and it slide open. They ran out of the passageway and into the scroll room. When they got out of the scroll room, the door disappeared again.


[Fade to Black]


~~Late afternoon at the Xiaolin Temple~~

They explained to Master Fung everything that happened today; the doorway, the old temple, the strange room, Sheng Gong Wu not responding except Aly's, the attack, the book, the ghost, etc.

Master Fung: "I have heard many stories about this temple; I thought it was just a rumor."

Rai: "It's defiantly not a rumor now. We'd show you, but for some reason we can't find the door."

Kimiko: "Yeah, it vanished just like before."

Omi: "So, what do you know about this old temple Master Fung?"

Master Fung: "It used to belong to a group of powerful mystics along long time ago. But that is all I know."

Omi: "Dojo, do you know about it?"

Dojo: "Not really, I was a baby dragon at that time."

Master Fung: "I think it's time we put this book in a safe place."

He walks out of the room.

Kimiko: "Wait a minute, if Jack and Vlad didn't steal the book, then what did they steal?"

Amber: "I guess we'll never know."


~~Jack Spicer's Lair~~

Vlad: "I don't understand."

Jack Spicer: "What's there to understand? We somehow got the wrong item! This Jade Talisman doesn't do anything!"

Vlad: "Maybe if we left earlier, we would have more time to find the right one!"

Jack Spicer: "This is the last time I team up with you! You're a bigger goof than me!"

Vlad got mad and they both fought throughout the afternoon.
