Chapter one
Part one
'Thousands of years ago, a furious battle was waged between the great and noble Xiaolin dragon Dashi, and the evil Heylin witch, Lomadia. This, was the first Xiaolin showdown. Lomadia pitted her dark magic against Dashi and his mystical power objects, the shen gong wu. In the end, Dashi triumphed, and Lomadia was forever imprisoned in a simple wooden puzzle box. The threat averted, Dashi spread his shen gong wu around the earth. For generations they have secretly maintained the balance of good and evil, and a long line of Xiaolin dragons has stood ready to face evil, should that balance ever shift.'
It was raining at the temple, dotting on the blue roof and dripping from the green bonze trees. He stood, his arms above his head as water dripped down his fingers and onto the floor, one of his legs was brought up to the other and he stood on his toes like a ballerina. He opened his eyes and jumped, running across a wall and across branches of a tree. He continued running, all through the temple and front flipped, landing on the floor, his palm forward as if smacking an invisible sign. He looked to the right as he heard his sensei's voice.
"Honeydew." He turned to see his sensei, a medium height man with a long black goatee and bald head. He was dressed in a blue overcoat and deep grey trousers. "Time to come in young monk."
"But master Fung! My lotus strike ends one eighth of an inch to the left. As a Xiaolin dragon of the water-"
"You're not a dragon yet, Honeydew."
"Yes! But I have been chosen to become one, and that means striding forth and-"
His sensei smiled "It also means, having the sense to get out of the rain. Come young monk, there are things I must tell you."
Honeydew raised an eyebrow to his sensei and followed him inside.
"Callin' it quits kid?" a nearby voice called, he looked to the small green dragon that lay in a little bonze tree. "That lotus strike looked like it was pulling to the left."
"Dojo, don't you have a scroll you're suppose to be guarding?"
"The ancient scroll" he folded his arms "Of the shen gong wu? Come on! Fifth teen hundred years I've been watching it and all its done is gather dust."
"Each day holds new surprises, Dojocanodojo."
"OK! I'm goin', Im goin'!" the dragon jumped from the tree, landing on his hands, and walked on them away.
"Speaking of surprises, I have one for you, Honeydew." The sensei began to walk back into the temple room. "New students are joining the temple."
"New students?!" Honeydew's eyes went wide and he rushed after his master. "This has never happened before! At least" he jumped forwards and began walking using his fingers "Not in my lifetime, can I teach them to walk on their fingers master?" he jumped up and hid behind a nearby plant "Or blend into the shadows?" he ran out and crawled up the wall like a spider. "Or maybe teach them to walk on walls?" he moved onto the ceiling "And maybe ceilings too?"
The sensei grabbed his head and pulled him to the floor.
"Huh?"
"Perhaps young monk, perhaps."
------------
They stood in a long room with three other people.
"Honeydew, I would like you to meet, Xephos"
"Sup?" said a tall boy with brunette hair, he wore a white/light grey hooded jumper with short sleeves and baggy green trousers with white stylish trainers. Around his neck he wore a golden pendent with a swirl on it. He had bright blue eyes.
"Xevphera"
"He said that?!" She talked into her phone "Hey!" she turned to Honeydew and waved "No way!" she continued talking into her phone, she wore her blonde hair short, her top was short and blue with a big red star on the front. Her trousers were red and skinny and on her hack she wore a white bunny shaped rucksack. She had turquois coloured eyes.
"And Sjin."
"Howdy." a tall, well build brown haired guy said, tilting his large cowboy style hat at Honeydew. He wore a red bandana around his neck, a light blue shirt and brown gloves. On his feet were brown cowboy boots.
"Master?" Honeydew turned to the sensei. "Where are the new students?"
"Right in front of you, Honeydew."
He looked back and up at the three others "They... are not what I expected..."
"The best things in life rarely are"
"You are right Master." He smiled to the new three "Welcome my new and... strangely attired friends!" he walked forward to them.
"I must be going young ones" the sensei began to walk away "I can sense there is much teaching to be done here."
"Yes master, much teaching indeed." Honeydew turned back around to look at the other three, who looked to each other.
------------
Honeydew walked on his fingers along the green grass, smiling "The key is balance." The other three were walking along behind him, smiling as well. "If you are a beginner, you may want to start with three fingers." he said casually.
"Err, just curious" Honeydew turned to face Sjin "When will we need this?" the cowboy moved his fingers up and down.
"Try never." Xephos answered in a peculiar accent.
"Ok, Kaiyko, I'll email it to you." Xevphera spoke up, still on her phone, which she then pulled away and closed. "Is there a network connection around here?" she didn't get a response "No? Oh no worries, I'll go Wi-Fi." she pulled a white and blue device from her backpack.
Honeydew walked over and gazed at the strange device "Oh! What is that?!" he asked, perplexed. He walked to the other side of Xevphera and leaned across to look at the object. "Is it... magic?"
Xevphera groaned "It's a PDA, i'm sending a message to a friend in Tokyo."
"A secret message?"
"Nah, i'm just telling her I've met a very strange kid who apparently doesn't know about personal space issues."
"Really?" Honeydew leaned closer "Who? Is it that guy?" he leant against her and pointed to Sjin.
"Not me partner."
He looked to Xephos. "It's you, chrome dome."
Honeydew blushed and look away.
------------
"Lesson two! The fierce cheetah method of fighting! I defy you to catch me! Witness the speed of a cheetah! I am dazzling and confounding you! And now I- Ah!" a lasso gripped his ankle and pulled him over. "HEY!"
"Hope I haven't mucked up your lesson too much little feller. I just cant resist a challenge!" Sjin stated as he pulled Honeydew toward him.
"Yeah, ah-huh." Xevphera said over the phone as Honeydew was dragged in front of her. "The cowboy just lassoed the little guy."
Honeydew wriggled out of the rope now that he was in front of them all and became red in the face "I, am the teacher! You are the students! You will give me the respect I deserve!"
Xephos came up behind him "Respect this!"
Honeydew looked down to see that Xephos had pulled his trousers down. "Huh?!" he looked back up and blushed again.
Xevphera giggled "No way! The Brazilian kid just kegged the bald kid!" she laughed over the phone.
------------
"I want to rule the whole world! All of it, not some of it, not just Iceland, or Fiji, I wanna rule the whole world!"
"P4rd0n m3 5ir." a bronze coloured robot said from in front of him. He looked up, blonde/red hair flying back behind his goggles.
"WHAT?! Cant you see i'm on an evil rant here?!"
"Y35 51r, but y0ur f4th3r 53nt y0u 4 gift fr0m H0ng K0ng." the robot held up a box.
He took it form the robots hands "Oh, a puzzle box..." he fiddled with the box "Huh, lets see, and my prize is!" The box opened, revealing a white and black mask with strange yellow eyes and a red patch across its head. "A mask? Lame!" he threw the box behind him "Alright, back to world conquest!" he looked back down at the large screen showing a map of the world "My favourite pastime..."
The mask glowed a strange purple colour and a faint yellow mist rose from the box.
"Europe might not be a bad place to start... or is that too obvious?"
Electricity crackled around the mist as it began to take form.
"Perhaps... Paraguay, but is that enough of an attention grabber?"
The Yellow mist became a floating being, its face, the mask from before. The mist made up long yellow tendrils that floated behind it, and a small patch was purple and looked like hands.
"Could go down through Africa... Over to South America and-"
"Onward to either!" the being floated through him and shrieked.
"AH! Spooky ghost lady! Attack!" he shouted shrilly and the four robots aimed at the being, and shot. The plasmic bullets shot straight through it.
"Plans for world conquest? My dear boy, we have much in common" it spoke ion a female voice "What's your name?"
"J-Jack Livid, who are you?! What are you?!"
"Me?" the being pointed with what looked like a hand "I'm your new best friend!"
------------
Smoke rose throughout the temple, trailing up from a large pot that was in the centre of a group of mediating men. They all opened their eyes.
"Did you sense that?" Master Fung asked.
"It was as if a great chill descended upon the land..." another spoke.
A scroll sat on a wooden table, closed and looking as if it hadn't been opened for centuries.
"Something has unbalanced the shen gong wu."
"Ok, f-first thing, I-I didn't touch it!" Dojo stated as he peered round the edge of the door. "I-I think it's busted." He looked up to master Fung "Can we get a new one?"
"What could do such a thing?" they all turned to Fung.
"Not what... who. And the answer is, Lomadia."
------------
"Let me get this straight..." Livid stated, looking at the globe in front of him. "Lomadia... You have no physical form?" he spun the globe which Lomadia floated through.
"Very perceptive."
"So, you need me to get these..." he folded his arms "Shen gong wu things, but here's my question..." he opened his arms and put them into the air. "What do I, Jack Livid, evil genius, get out of this?" he smirked to her.
"Your dreams of world conquest!" she flew up to his face. "We shall rule, side by side!"
"I like where this is going... OK! So once we get all the shen gong wu, then what?"
------------
"The world will be thrown into ten thousand years of darkness..." Fung stated.
They were all sat around in a circle, discussing the matter.
"It's your solum duty as xiaolin warriors to find all the shen gong wu before Lomadia does."
"I have a question." Xephos raised his hand.
"Yes? Xephos?"
"I saw my room..." he indicated behind him with his thumb "And no bed! Just a mat! What the deely?"
They all looked blankly to him.
"Erm... We can talk later."
------------
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." Fung stated as they walked toward the scroll.
"The ancient scroll of the shen gong wu!" Honeydew stated as the sensei unscrolled it.
Mantis flip coin
"Ah! The mantis flip coin, it has revealed itself. Who ever holds the coin, will leap with the skill of a mantis." Fung stated.
"Wild!" Xevphera called.
Fung closed the scroll up again and turned to the others.
"And so, our grand quest begins!" Honeydew stated, pointing to the ceiling. "Follow me! To victory!" he ran out the room. "I, have no idea where i'm going..."
"Yeah." Xevphera looked up to Fung "How do we find the shen gong wu?"
Fung turned to the dragon "Dojo? You helped master Dashi hide them."
They all looked down to the dragon, who placed his hands on his sides "Yeah, but that was a long time ago! You cant possibly expect me to remember where dju, da, ufff-" his tail shook and he pointed his body face first in a certain direction, pointing forward as he did so. "This way!"
"Right, like were gonna take directions from a gecko." Xephos said, unimpressed.
"Gecko?!" all of a sudden the tiny dragon grew in size until it was at least ten times what it was before. He threw fire from his mouth and smoke whipped around him. He looked down at Xephos "DONT EVER CALL ME A GACKO!"
"Er... My mistake!" Xephos nodded as he looked up at the giant green dragon.
------------
They were flying on the back of Dojo through the clouds.
"I can't believe I went from temple guardian to babysitter in less than a day!" Dojo stated and looked back at the group.
Xevphera was playing on a little games device, while Honeydew watched.
"Xevphera, I have never seen such a wondrous device! What is it?"
"It's a game pad. See? I'm making Pochi collect the disks." she pushed some buttons.
"Wow! How did Pochi get in there?"
"Erm... That's where he was born?" she handed him the device "Here, try it."
Honeydew pressed the buttons and beamed intensely "Look Xevphera! My new little friend co-operates with me as I push the buttons!" he looked back down a the device and continued playing. Xephos, being sneaky, came up next to him and pushed the power switch. The game shut off. "Hyeaaa!" Honeydew began crying "My new little friend has been taken by the dark forces of evil! Pochi! Are you in there?" he lifted the device up before bring it to his face "Can you hear the sound of my voice?"
"Hahahah!" Xephos laughed to himself. Xevphera walked up to him and punched him round the arm. "Hey!" he grabbed his arm.
"Don't mess with the monk!" Xevphera walked back to Honeydew
"Girl! You hit hard!"
"No worries Honeydew! The power just got switched off! See?" she flicked the power button and the game came back to life.
"Pochi!" Honeydew cried and smiled. "You have returned! I must remember to honour the power of the off switch!" he told Xevphera and they both smiled before he returned to his game.
------------
They flew past a large red bridge and down into the San Francisco streets. Dojo shrunk back to size and looked around at the bustling and car filled streets.
"Woah! A lot has changed in the last fifteen hundred years!"
"So many people!" Honeydew stated as he walked up next to the dragon. "So many buildings! What is this place?"
"San Francisco." Xephos stated.
"We've got a mantes flip coin to find!" Xevphera added.
Dojo sniffed the air "And it's close! Real close!"
"Bow before me citizens of planet earth!" Livid's voice came from behind them. They turned to see him stood atop of a large archway, holding up a red and gold shining coin. "I now rule you with the mantes flip coin!" He jumped forward and landed in front of them. Lomadia flew from behind him.
"You cannot rule the earth yet. You have but one shen gong wu!"
"How many are there?"
"Hundreds!"
"WHAT?!" he swiped at his ghostly form "Ok, you're gonna need to get solid and help me out here!"
He looked down to see Honeydew at his feet. "Hello friend! That coin is of great mystical importance, may we please have it?"
"Haha, no way shorty! This shen gong wu is mine!" he pointed to himself with his thumb.
Xephos turned to Xevphera "How does he know about shen gong wu?"
Lomadia popped out from behind Livid, electricity sparking off her being. "How indeed!"
"Lomadia!" Dojo stated, he placed his hands on his sides "Wow, the years have not been kind to you!"
"MIND YOUR TOUNGE REPTILE!" Lomadia shouted and flew into his face. He jumped back "Dashi isn't here to protect you!" He jumped into Honeydew's robes to avoid being hurt.
"Away evil spirit!" Honeydew took a step forward "You cannot stop us!"
"She can't, but I can." Livid stated. He pressed a button on his watch "Jackbots attack!" a group of hovering robots surrounded Livid, each facing the group of four. "Mince them." he said casually. The robots grew blades from their sides which spun in a circle. They flew toward the group.
Honeydew closed his eyes and a square of glowing white lights shone on his head.
Water!
He jumped forward, kicking the closest robot and destroying it.
Xevphera ran forward and flipped over, kicking another in the face.
Xephos grabbed one of the robots sides and slammed it into another, destroying both. He jumped out of the way as another flew into the wall.
Sjin turned to the side and stuck out his chest, the robot blew apart as it impacted with him.
Honeydew stepped next to him "It's not your weight... it's, how you throw it around." The cowboy stated.
Livid turned to Lomadia "You never mentioned freaks in pyjamas would be looking for the shen gong wu too!"
"Details!" Lomadia replied. "You've got the flip coin! Go!"
Livid leant forward, his backpack taking shape into a hover device. He smirked and flew away.
"The mantes flip coin!" Honeydew stated, running after Livid. He jumped against the wall, landing on another robots head, he hopped across them. He was catching up with Livid.
"Hya!" Xevphera threw a robot forward and smiled as it was sent away. "Oops..."
The robot Flew towards Xephos, who turned and yelled. As he ducked it shot past to Sjin, who gasped. He didn't have times to react as the robot smashed into him, knocking him backwards.
"Gotcha!" Honeydew stated as he jumped up to grab the end of Livid's jacket. Sjin flew into him and knocked him over.
"Hahaha! A lesson for losers, don't mess with Jack Livid!" Livid shouted as he flew away.
Honeydew attempted to pick himself up from underneath Sjin "Kindly remove your gigantic self, from being on top of my body!"
Sjin stood up "Sorry 'bout that little buddy."
Honeydew stood as the others gathered around him "Because of you three, we have lost the first shen gong wu!" He turned away.
"Dude, it was a coin." Xephos stated.
"A magical coin! Do you not understand? The more shen gong wu Lomadia possesses, the stronger she is!"
"Sorry Honeydew..." Xevphera said.
"We'll do better next time." Sjin added.
Dojo slivered up behind them "Err, next time is now!" he gripped Honeydew's sleeve and tugged at it "I'm sensing another shen gong wu!"
"Lets see what we've got!" Xevphera stated, pulling the scroll from her backpack.
The two-ton tunic
"The two-ton tunic!" Honeydew stated.
"Oooooh! I remember that!" Dojo said "It was Dashi's invulnerable armour!" he slivered away as Xevphera closed the scroll and placed it back into her backpack.
"Excellent! Livid better watch his back, because this round, is ours!" She told the others.
------------
"The two-ton tunic is mine!" Livid stated as he held it into the air.
"Not so fast!" Xephos shouted from behind him, he turned to see him and Sjin running toward him. Xephos jumped him and kicked him onto a small boat as Sjin grabbed the tunic.
Honeydew and Xevphera ran up and Sjin threw the tunic to them. Honeydew picked it up "Jack Livid! Today, victory is mine!"
Sjin turned to look at the water again "Better not count your chickens before they hatch!"
A bunch of robots were flying toward them.
"A fearsome force! But they are not prepared for the awesome force of, the two-tone tunic!" Honeydew stated, throwing the tunic over himself. It grew into chest armour that covered almost all of his little body. It dragged him to the ground, causing the wooden harbour to collapse and fall into the water under its weight. They all dropped into the water, the robots watching them. They swam up and took a breathe.
------------
Livid was still lying face first in the small boat, floating further and further away from the peer. Lomadia floated out behind him.
"You lost the two-ton tunic!"
"Relax! We'll get the next one."
------------
They were all flying on the back of Dojo. "Look, its not he way grand master Dashi would have done it, but hey! You're still learning."
"I do not wish to speak of the failures of me, or my students!" Honeydew stated as he sat with his arms and legs folded. "I only wish to find the next shen gong wu."
Xevphera opened the scroll.
"Which is?" Xephos asked as they all leaned over to look.
Eye of Dashi
"The eye of Dashi." Xevphera read.
"The way I figure it, it shoots lightning something fierce!" Sjin added.
------------
"Now this, is my kind of place!" Sjin said, they walked through a meadow with loads of trees and shrubbery.
"Are you kidding?" Xevphera asked, checking her phone "I'm not even getting a signal here!"
Xephos stood with Dojo stretched out on his hands, he was pointing him around like a GPS "If I were a lightning shooting shen gong wu" Dojo ears began twitching "Where would I be?"
Dojo groaned "Close, you'd be close!"
Honeydew spotted something shiny up in a tree. "The eye of Dashi!" he stated, running for it. He jumped up into the tree and placed his hand on the shen gong wu's leather strap that held it around the users neck. He gasped when he noticed Livid's hand grab it too.
"Sorry, Monk boy! This ones mine!"
They both pulled at the necklace, which began glowing in a bright golden light.
"I was here first!" Honeydew stated.
"Too bad!" Livid looked down as he noticed the necklace glowing "Hey? What's with the glowing?"
"It, is a Xiaolin showdown!" Honeydew stated.
"It's a what now?" Xephos asked as they watched Honeydew and Livid fighting over the necklace. Dojo, who was wrapped round his arm, looked to him.
"A Xiaolin showdown! It's what happens when two warriors reach a stalemate over a shen gong wu." Xephos frowned to him. "Two words, Frea-ky!"
They looked back to the fighting pair "Jack Livid! I challenge you to a Xiaolin showdown!" Honeydew stated "I wager, my two-ton tunic, against your mantis flip coin!" They looked down at the path of rocks that lay beneath them. "Whoever reaches the last stone first, wins the eye of Dashi, and the other shen gong wu as well!"
Lomadia floated next to Livid "Accept the challenge. Accept it!" she flew into his face.
"I accept your challenge Honeydew!"
"Lets go! Xiaolin showdown!" Honeydew shouted.
------------
They stood on the stepping stone type rocks that formed a line across the floor, the eye of Dashi floating ahead of them, at the end of the path.
All of a sudden, the ground began to rumble and crack, the rocks that they stood on rose into the air and above the clouds. Livid screamed all the way up.
"Ohhh, I did not expect this!" Honeydew stated. Dojo crawled out of his tunic.
"That's a Xiaolin showdown for yah!" he shook his head "Always keeps you guessin'. GONG YEH TEMP IE!" he shouted. The other two looked to him cluelessly. "That means go."
Livid looked down "How am I supposed to do this?"
Lomadia floated next to him "Use your shen gong wu!"
"Oh yeh!" Livid said as he pulled out the red and gold coin. "Mantis flip coin!" he shouted, causing the object to glow gold. He leaped from plinth to plinth, flipping and showing off as he did so.
"Jack Livid forgets I have my own shen gong wu!" Honeydew stated as he kicked and punched at the air. "Two-ton tunic!" the tunic enlarged and became armour, causing Honeydew to fall on his back from the weight.
The others watched from the side. The looked on their faces was blank.
"Ovcourse, I forget the two-ton tunic is very heavy." Honeydew squeaked as eh stood back up. He jumped forward and fell "Whoooaaaa!"
"You know what I just realised?" Xephos asked the other two casually. "Master Fung never answered my question about the bed..."
Honeydew lay on his back on another plinth, he jumped up and forward slowly across the plinths.
"Come on Honeydew!" Xevphera shouted.
"I've got this in the bag." Livid stated. "But, never hurts to cheat!" he pushed a button on his watch and two robots floated up "Jackbots! Don't care, don't wanna know how, just make him gone!"
The robots flew toward Honeydew, who was standing on the thinnest plinth.
"I cannot fight with this heavy garment!" he shouted as he saw the robots. He ducked as they flew over him, their blades just missing his head. "Woah!" he turned to see Duncan smile and tip his hat. Honeydew grinned "It's not your weight!" he jumped and chest bumped one of the robots with the tunic "It's how you throw it around!" he shouted happily as he landed back down.
"That's showin' 'em!" Sjin shouted. Honeydew jumped from his armour and grabbed another robot, crawling up its back. He saw an on/off switch "Honour the power of the off switch!" he flicked it and the robot shut down, falling. He smiled and jumped back into his armour.
"Don't mess with the monk!" Xevphera shouted.
"Don't just stand there like a buffoon!" Lomadia shouted to Livid as he stood watching. "Finish the race!"
Livid began jumping forward again. Honeydew was only a few plinth's behind.
He jumped and landed in front of Livid.
"Hahahahahahaha! Now that I've defeated you, perhaps you'll respect the genius of" Livid put his hands behind his head. "Jack Livid!"
"Respect this!"
Livid looked down and shrieked as he saw that his smiley face pink boxers were showing. He attempted to pull his trousers up as Honeydew continued on.
Xephos laughed aloud at Livid and the others joined in.
Honeydew landed on the second to last plinth as Livid watched, his trousers still around his ankles.
"NOOOOO!" Lomadia shouted. Honeydew grabbed the eye of Dashi.
------------
Everything was back to normal now, and Honeydew held all three shen gong wu. The others rushed over to him.
"Honeydew! That was sweet!" Xevphera stated.
"You done a good days round-up partner!" Sjin added.
"I really like that robe thing" Xephos stated "What's it called again?"
"The two-ton tunic!" Honeydew stated, and the armour grew around him. He fell on his back and realised that Xephos had pulled a prank on him.
"I got yah." Xephos stated as him and Xevphera pulled him up.
------------
They were stood in the grand hall of the temple, in a line on front of Master Fung. Each now wore a red and white martial arts style uniform and Xevphera's hair was now in two black pigtails as appose to blonde.
"You have all done acceptingly well, wouldn't you agree Dojo?" Fung turned to the dragon that was sat on a tiny hammock sett out between a bonze tree.
"Not bad, for armatures" he joked.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step."
"Where do you get this stuff?"
"I have a desk calendar."
"Master Fung." Honeydew said before bowing "There are so many shen gong wu left to be found."
"Your new friends will help." Fung patted him on the head.
"Oh yes master! I have already taught much to Xevphera, Xephos and Sjin!"
"But, Honeydew! They are here to teach you!" Fung said happily.
"But... I am the chosen one..."
"You aren't the only chosen one, Honeydew, some day, your new friends may become dragons as well! Xevphera, the dragon of fire. Sjin, the dragon of earth. And Xephos, the dragon of the wind."
"Is this true master?"
"Yes, but I didn't want to tell you until you were ready."
Honeydew spun on the spot and fell to the floor.
"I don't think he was ready..." Sjin stated.

Chapter one
Part one
'Thousands of years ago, a furious battle was waged between the great and noble Xiaolin dragon Dashi, and the evil Heylin witch, Lomadia. This, was the first Xiaolin showdown. Lomadia pitted her dark magic against Dashi and his mystical power objects, the shen gong wu. In the end, Dashi triumphed, and Lomadia was forever imprisoned in a simple wooden puzzle box. The threat averted, Dashi spread his shen gong wu around the earth. For generations they have secretly maintained the balance of good and evil, and a long line of Xiaolin dragons has stood ready to face evil, should that balance ever shift.'
It was raining at the temple, dotting on the blue roof and dripping from the green bonze trees. He stood, his arms above his head as water dripped down his fingers and onto the floor, one of his legs was brought up to the other and he stood on his toes like a ballerina. He opened his eyes and jumped, running across a wall and across branches of a tree. He continued running, all through the temple and front flipped, landing on the floor, his palm forward as if smacking an invisible sign. He looked to the right as he heard his sensei's voice.
"Honeydew." He turned to see his sensei, a medium height man with a long black goatee and bald head. He was dressed in a blue overcoat and deep grey trousers. "Time to come in young monk."
"But master Fung! My lotus strike ends one eighth of an inch to the left. As a Xiaolin dragon of the water-"
"You're not a dragon yet, Honeydew."
"Yes! But I have been chosen to become one, and that means striding forth and-"
His sensei smiled "It also means, having the sense to get out of the rain. Come young monk, there are things I must tell you."
Honeydew raised an eyebrow to his sensei and followed him inside.
"Callin' it quits kid?" a nearby voice called, he looked to the small green dragon that lay in a little bonze tree. "That lotus strike looked like it was pulling to the left."
"Dojo, don't you have a scroll you're suppose to be guarding?"
"The ancient scroll" he folded his arms "Of the shen gong wu? Come on! Fifth teen hundred years I've been watching it and all its done is gather dust."
"Each day holds new surprises, Dojocanodojo."
"OK! I'm goin', Im goin'!" the dragon jumped from the tree, landing on his hands, and walked on them away.
"Speaking of surprises, I have one for you, Honeydew." The sensei began to walk back into the temple room. "New students are joining the temple."
"New students?!" Honeydew's eyes went wide and he rushed after his master. "This has never happened before! At least" he jumped forwards and began walking using his fingers "Not in my lifetime, can I teach them to walk on their fingers master?" he jumped up and hid behind a nearby plant "Or blend into the shadows?" he ran out and crawled up the wall like a spider. "Or maybe teach them to walk on walls?" he moved onto the ceiling "And maybe ceilings too?"
The sensei grabbed his head and pulled him to the floor.
"Huh?"
"Perhaps young monk, perhaps."
------------
They stood in a long room with three other people.
"Honeydew, I would like you to meet, Xephos"
"Sup?" said a tall boy with brunette hair, he wore a white/light grey hooded jumper with short sleeves and baggy green trousers with white stylish trainers. Around his neck he wore a golden pendent with a swirl on it. He had bright blue eyes.
"Xevphera"
"He said that?!" She talked into her phone "Hey!" she turned to Honeydew and waved "No way!" she continued talking into her phone, she wore her blonde hair short, her top was short and blue with a big red star on the front. Her trousers were red and skinny and on her hack she wore a white bunny shaped rucksack. She had turquois coloured eyes.
"And Sjin."
"Howdy." a tall, well build brown haired guy said, tilting his large cowboy style hat at Honeydew. He wore a red bandana around his neck, a light blue shirt and brown gloves. On his feet were brown cowboy boots.
"Master?" Honeydew turned to the sensei. "Where are the new students?"
"Right in front of you, Honeydew."
He looked back and up at the three others "They... are not what I expected..."
"The best things in life rarely are"
"You are right Master." He smiled to the new three "Welcome my new and... strangely attired friends!" he walked forward to them.
"I must be going young ones" the sensei began to walk away "I can sense there is much teaching to be done here."
"Yes master, much teaching indeed." Honeydew turned back around to look at the other three, who looked to each other.
------------
Honeydew walked on his fingers along the green grass, smiling "The key is balance." The other three were walking along behind him, smiling as well. "If you are a beginner, you may want to start with three fingers." he said casually.
"Err, just curious" Honeydew turned to face Sjin "When will we need this?" the cowboy moved his fingers up and down.
"Try never." Xephos answered in a peculiar accent.
"Ok, Kaiyko, I'll email it to you." Xevphera spoke up, still on her phone, which she then pulled away and closed. "Is there a network connection around here?" she didn't get a response "No? Oh no worries, I'll go Wi-Fi." she pulled a white and blue device from her backpack.
Honeydew walked over and gazed at the strange device "Oh! What is that?!" he asked, perplexed. He walked to the other side of Xevphera and leaned across to look at the object. "Is it... magic?"
Xevphera groaned "It's a PDA, i'm sending a message to a friend in Tokyo."
"A secret message?"
"Nah, i'm just telling her I've met a very strange kid who apparently doesn't know about personal space issues."
"Really?" Honeydew leaned closer "Who? Is it that guy?" he leant against her and pointed to Sjin.
"Not me partner."
He looked to Xephos. "It's you, chrome dome."
Honeydew blushed and look away.
------------
"Lesson two! The fierce cheetah method of fighting! I defy you to catch me! Witness the speed of a cheetah! I am dazzling and confounding you! And now I- Ah!" a lasso gripped his ankle and pulled him over. "HEY!"
"Hope I haven't mucked up your lesson too much little feller. I just cant resist a challenge!" Sjin stated as he pulled Honeydew toward him.
"Yeah, ah-huh." Xevphera said over the phone as Honeydew was dragged in front of her. "The cowboy just lassoed the little guy."
Honeydew wriggled out of the rope now that he was in front of them all and became red in the face "I, am the teacher! You are the students! You will give me the respect I deserve!"
Xephos came up behind him "Respect this!"
Honeydew looked down to see that Xephos had pulled his trousers down. "Huh?!" he looked back up and blushed again.
Xevphera giggled "No way! The Brazilian kid just kegged the bald kid!" she laughed over the phone.
------------
"I want to rule the whole world! All of it, not some of it, not just Iceland, or Fiji, I wanna rule the whole world!"
"P4rd0n m3 5ir." a bronze coloured robot said from in front of him. He looked up, blonde/red hair flying back behind his goggles.
"WHAT?! Cant you see i'm on an evil rant here?!"
"Y35 51r, but y0ur f4th3r 53nt y0u 4 gift fr0m H0ng K0ng." the robot held up a box.
He took it form the robots hands "Oh, a puzzle box..." he fiddled with the box "Huh, lets see, and my prize is!" The box opened, revealing a white and black mask with strange yellow eyes and a red patch across its head. "A mask? Lame!" he threw the box behind him "Alright, back to world conquest!" he looked back down at the large screen showing a map of the world "My favourite pastime..."
The mask glowed a strange purple colour and a faint yellow mist rose from the box.
"Europe might not be a bad place to start... or is that too obvious?"
Electricity crackled around the mist as it began to take form.
"Perhaps... Paraguay, but is that enough of an attention grabber?"
The Yellow mist became a floating being, its face, the mask from before. The mist made up long yellow tendrils that floated behind it, and a small patch was purple and looked like hands.
"Could go down through Africa... Over to South America and-"
"Onward to either!" the being floated through him and shrieked.
"AH! Spooky ghost lady! Attack!" he shouted shrilly and the four robots aimed at the being, and shot. The plasmic bullets shot straight through it.
"Plans for world conquest? My dear boy, we have much in common" it spoke ion a female voice "What's your name?"
"J-Jack Livid, who are you?! What are you?!"
"Me?" the being pointed with what looked like a hand "I'm your new best friend!"
------------
Smoke rose throughout the temple, trailing up from a large pot that was in the centre of a group of mediating men. They all opened their eyes.
"Did you sense that?" Master Fung asked.
"It was as if a great chill descended upon the land..." another spoke.
A scroll sat on a wooden table, closed and looking as if it hadn't been opened for centuries.
"Something has unbalanced the shen gong wu."
"Ok, f-first thing, I-I didn't touch it!" Dojo stated as he peered round the edge of the door. "I-I think it's busted." He looked up to master Fung "Can we get a new one?"
"What could do such a thing?" they all turned to Fung.
"Not what... who. And the answer is, Lomadia."
------------
"Let me get this straight..." Livid stated, looking at the globe in front of him. "Lomadia... You have no physical form?" he spun the globe which Lomadia floated through.
"Very perceptive."
"So, you need me to get these..." he folded his arms "Shen gong wu things, but here's my question..." he opened his arms and put them into the air. "What do I, Jack Livid, evil genius, get out of this?" he smirked to her.
"Your dreams of world conquest!" she flew up to his face. "We shall rule, side by side!"
"I like where this is going... OK! So once we get all the shen gong wu, then what?"
------------
"The world will be thrown into ten thousand years of darkness..." Fung stated.
They were all sat around in a circle, discussing the matter.
"It's your solum duty as xiaolin warriors to find all the shen gong wu before Lomadia does."
"I have a question." Xephos raised his hand.
"Yes? Xephos?"
"I saw my room..." he indicated behind him with his thumb "And no bed! Just a mat! What the deely?"
They all looked blankly to him.
"Erm... We can talk later."
------------
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." Fung stated as they walked toward the scroll.
"The ancient scroll of the shen gong wu!" Honeydew stated as the sensei unscrolled it.
Mantis flip coin
"Ah! The mantis flip coin, it has revealed itself. Who ever holds the coin, will leap with the skill of a mantis." Fung stated.
"Wild!" Xevphera called.
Fung closed the scroll up again and turned to the others.
"And so, our grand quest begins!" Honeydew stated, pointing to the ceiling. "Follow me! To victory!" he ran out the room. "I, have no idea where i'm going..."
"Yeah." Xevphera looked up to Fung "How do we find the shen gong wu?"
Fung turned to the dragon "Dojo? You helped master Dashi hide them."
They all looked down to the dragon, who placed his hands on his sides "Yeah, but that was a long time ago! You cant possibly expect me to remember where dju, da, ufff-" his tail shook and he pointed his body face first in a certain direction, pointing forward as he did so. "This way!"
"Right, like were gonna take directions from a gecko." Xephos said, unimpressed.
"Gecko?!" all of a sudden the tiny dragon grew in size until it was at least ten times what it was before. He threw fire from his mouth and smoke whipped around him. He looked down at Xephos "DONT EVER CALL ME A GACKO!"
"Er... My mistake!" Xephos nodded as he looked up at the giant green dragon.
------------
They were flying on the back of Dojo through the clouds.
"I can't believe I went from temple guardian to babysitter in less than a day!" Dojo stated and looked back at the group.
Xevphera was playing on a little games device, while Honeydew watched.
"Xevphera, I have never seen such a wondrous device! What is it?"
"It's a game pad. See? I'm making Pochi collect the disks." she pushed some buttons.
"Wow! How did Pochi get in there?"
"Erm... That's where he was born?" she handed him the device "Here, try it."
Honeydew pressed the buttons and beamed intensely "Look Xevphera! My new little friend co-operates with me as I push the buttons!" he looked back down a the device and continued playing. Xephos, being sneaky, came up next to him and pushed the power switch. The game shut off. "Hyeaaa!" Honeydew began crying "My new little friend has been taken by the dark forces of evil! Pochi! Are you in there?" he lifted the device up before bring it to his face "Can you hear the sound of my voice?"
"Hahahah!" Xephos laughed to himself. Xevphera walked up to him and punched him round the arm. "Hey!" he grabbed his arm.
"Don't mess with the monk!" Xevphera walked back to Honeydew
"Girl! You hit hard!"
"No worries Honeydew! The power just got switched off! See?" she flicked the power button and the game came back to life.
"Pochi!" Honeydew cried and smiled. "You have returned! I must remember to honour the power of the off switch!" he told Xevphera and they both smiled before he returned to his game.
------------
They flew past a large red bridge and down into the San Francisco streets. Dojo shrunk back to size and looked around at the bustling and car filled streets.
"Woah! A lot has changed in the last fifteen hundred years!"
"So many people!" Honeydew stated as he walked up next to the dragon. "So many buildings! What is this place?"
"San Francisco." Xephos stated.
"We've got a mantes flip coin to find!" Xevphera added.
Dojo sniffed the air "And it's close! Real close!"
"Bow before me citizens of planet earth!" Livid's voice came from behind them. They turned to see him stood atop of a large archway, holding up a red and gold shining coin. "I now rule you with the mantes flip coin!" He jumped forward and landed in front of them. Lomadia flew from behind him.
"You cannot rule the earth yet. You have but one shen gong wu!"
"How many are there?"
"Hundreds!"
"WHAT?!" he swiped at his ghostly form "Ok, you're gonna need to get solid and help me out here!"
He looked down to see Honeydew at his feet. "Hello friend! That coin is of great mystical importance, may we please have it?"
"Haha, no way shorty! This shen gong wu is mine!" he pointed to himself with his thumb.
Xephos turned to Xevphera "How does he know about shen gong wu?"
Lomadia popped out from behind Livid, electricity sparking off her being. "How indeed!"
"Lomadia!" Dojo stated, he placed his hands on his sides "Wow, the years have not been kind to you!"
"MIND YOUR TOUNGE REPTILE!" Lomadia shouted and flew into his face. He jumped back "Dashi isn't here to protect you!" He jumped into Honeydew's robes to avoid being hurt.
"Away evil spirit!" Honeydew took a step forward "You cannot stop us!"
"She can't, but I can." Livid stated. He pressed a button on his watch "Jackbots attack!" a group of hovering robots surrounded Livid, each facing the group of four. "Mince them." he said casually. The robots grew blades from their sides which spun in a circle. They flew toward the group.
Honeydew closed his eyes and a square of glowing white lights shone on his head.
Water!
He jumped forward, kicking the closest robot and destroying it.
Xevphera ran forward and flipped over, kicking another in the face.
Xephos grabbed one of the robots sides and slammed it into another, destroying both. He jumped out of the way as another flew into the wall.
Sjin turned to the side and stuck out his chest, the robot blew apart as it impacted with him.
Honeydew stepped next to him "It's not your weight... it's, how you throw it around." The cowboy stated.
Livid turned to Lomadia "You never mentioned freaks in pyjamas would be looking for the shen gong wu too!"
"Details!" Lomadia replied. "You've got the flip coin! Go!"
Livid leant forward, his backpack taking shape into a hover device. He smirked and flew away.
"The mantes flip coin!" Honeydew stated, running after Livid. He jumped against the wall, landing on another robots head, he hopped across them. He was catching up with Livid.
"Hya!" Xevphera threw a robot forward and smiled as it was sent away. "Oops..."
The robot Flew towards Xephos, who turned and yelled. As he ducked it shot past to Sjin, who gasped. He didn't have times to react as the robot smashed into him, knocking him backwards.
"Gotcha!" Honeydew stated as he jumped up to grab the end of Livid's jacket. Sjin flew into him and knocked him over.
"Hahaha! A lesson for losers, don't mess with Jack Livid!" Livid shouted as he flew away.
Honeydew attempted to pick himself up from underneath Sjin "Kindly remove your gigantic self, from being on top of my body!"
Sjin stood up "Sorry 'bout that little buddy."
Honeydew stood as the others gathered around him "Because of you three, we have lost the first shen gong wu!" He turned away.
"Dude, it was a coin." Xephos stated.
"A magical coin! Do you not understand? The more shen gong wu Lomadia possesses, the stronger she is!"
"Sorry Honeydew..." Xevphera said.
"We'll do better next time." Sjin added.
Dojo slivered up behind them "Err, next time is now!" he gripped Honeydew's sleeve and tugged at it "I'm sensing another shen gong wu!"
"Lets see what we've got!" Xevphera stated, pulling the scroll from her backpack.
The two-ton tunic
"The two-ton tunic!" Honeydew stated.
"Oooooh! I remember that!" Dojo said "It was Dashi's invulnerable armour!" he slivered away as Xevphera closed the scroll and placed it back into her backpack.
"Excellent! Livid better watch his back, because this round, is ours!" She told the others.
------------
"The two-ton tunic is mine!" Livid stated as he held it into the air.
"Not so fast!" Xephos shouted from behind him, he turned to see him and Sjin running toward him. Xephos jumped him and kicked him onto a small boat as Sjin grabbed the tunic.
Honeydew and Xevphera ran up and Sjin threw the tunic to them. Honeydew picked it up "Jack Livid! Today, victory is mine!"
Sjin turned to look at the water again "Better not count your chickens before they hatch!"
A bunch of robots were flying toward them.
"A fearsome force! But they are not prepared for the awesome force of, the two-tone tunic!" Honeydew stated, throwing the tunic over himself. It grew into chest armour that covered almost all of his little body. It dragged him to the ground, causing the wooden harbour to collapse and fall into the water under its weight. They all dropped into the water, the robots watching them. They swam up and took a breathe.
------------
Livid was still lying face first in the small boat, floating further and further away from the peer. Lomadia floated out behind him.
"You lost the two-ton tunic!"
"Relax! We'll get the next one."
------------
They were all flying on the back of Dojo. "Look, its not he way grand master Dashi would have done it, but hey! You're still learning."
"I do not wish to speak of the failures of me, or my students!" Honeydew stated as he sat with his arms and legs folded. "I only wish to find the next shen gong wu."
Xevphera opened the scroll.
"Which is?" Xephos asked as they all leaned over to look.
Eye of Dashi
"The eye of Dashi." Xevphera read.
"The way I figure it, it shoots lightning something fierce!" Sjin added.
------------
"Now this, is my kind of place!" Sjin said, they walked through a meadow with loads of trees and shrubbery.
"Are you kidding?" Xevphera asked, checking her phone "I'm not even getting a signal here!"
Xephos stood with Dojo stretched out on his hands, he was pointing him around like a GPS "If I were a lightning shooting shen gong wu" Dojo ears began twitching "Where would I be?"
Dojo groaned "Close, you'd be close!"
Honeydew spotted something shiny up in a tree. "The eye of Dashi!" he stated, running for it. He jumped up into the tree and placed his hand on the shen gong wu's leather strap that held it around the users neck. He gasped when he noticed Livid's hand grab it too.
"Sorry, Monk boy! This ones mine!"
They both pulled at the necklace, which began glowing in a bright golden light.
"I was here first!" Honeydew stated.
"Too bad!" Livid looked down as he noticed the necklace glowing "Hey? What's with the glowing?"
"It, is a Xiaolin showdown!" Honeydew stated.
"It's a what now?" Xephos asked as they watched Honeydew and Livid fighting over the necklace. Dojo, who was wrapped round his arm, looked to him.
"A Xiaolin showdown! It's what happens when two warriors reach a stalemate over a shen gong wu." Xephos frowned to him. "Two words, Frea-ky!"
They looked back to the fighting pair "Jack Livid! I challenge you to a Xiaolin showdown!" Honeydew stated "I wager, my two-ton tunic, against your mantis flip coin!" They looked down at the path of rocks that lay beneath them. "Whoever reaches the last stone first, wins the eye of Dashi, and the other shen gong wu as well!"
Lomadia floated next to Livid "Accept the challenge. Accept it!" she flew into his face.
"I accept your challenge Honeydew!"
"Lets go! Xiaolin showdown!" Honeydew shouted.
------------
They stood on the stepping stone type rocks that formed a line across the floor, the eye of Dashi floating ahead of them, at the end of the path.
All of a sudden, the ground began to rumble and crack, the rocks that they stood on rose into the air and above the clouds. Livid screamed all the way up.
"Ohhh, I did not expect this!" Honeydew stated. Dojo crawled out of his tunic.
"That's a Xiaolin showdown for yah!" he shook his head "Always keeps you guessin'. GONG YEH TEMP IE!" he shouted. The other two looked to him cluelessly. "That means go."
Livid looked down "How am I supposed to do this?"
Lomadia floated next to him "Use your shen gong wu!"
"Oh yeh!" Livid said as he pulled out the red and gold coin. "Mantis flip coin!" he shouted, causing the object to glow gold. He leaped from plinth to plinth, flipping and showing off as he did so.
"Jack Livid forgets I have my own shen gong wu!" Honeydew stated as he kicked and punched at the air. "Two-ton tunic!" the tunic enlarged and became armour, causing Honeydew to fall on his back from the weight.
The others watched from the side. The looked on their faces was blank.
"Ovcourse, I forget the two-ton tunic is very heavy." Honeydew squeaked as eh stood back up. He jumped forward and fell "Whoooaaaa!"
"You know what I just realised?" Xephos asked the other two casually. "Master Fung never answered my question about the bed..."
Honeydew lay on his back on another plinth, he jumped up and forward slowly across the plinths.
"Come on Honeydew!" Xevphera shouted.
"I've got this in the bag." Livid stated. "But, never hurts to cheat!" he pushed a button on his watch and two robots floated up "Jackbots! Don't care, don't wanna know how, just make him gone!"
The robots flew toward Honeydew, who was standing on the thinnest plinth.
"I cannot fight with this heavy garment!" he shouted as he saw the robots. He ducked as they flew over him, their blades just missing his head. "Woah!" he turned to see Duncan smile and tip his hat. Honeydew grinned "It's not your weight!" he jumped and chest bumped one of the robots with the tunic "It's how you throw it around!" he shouted happily as he landed back down.
"That's showin' 'em!" Sjin shouted. Honeydew jumped from his armour and grabbed another robot, crawling up its back. He saw an on/off switch "Honour the power of the off switch!" he flicked it and the robot shut down, falling. He smiled and jumped back into his armour.
"Don't mess with the monk!" Xevphera shouted.
"Don't just stand there like a buffoon!" Lomadia shouted to Livid as he stood watching. "Finish the race!"
Livid began jumping forward again. Honeydew was only a few plinth's behind.
He jumped and landed in front of Livid.
"Hahahahahahaha! Now that I've defeated you, perhaps you'll respect the genius of" Livid put his hands behind his head. "Jack Livid!"
"Respect this!"
Livid looked down and shrieked as he saw that his smiley face pink boxers were showing. He attempted to pull his trousers up as Honeydew continued on.
Xephos laughed aloud at Livid and the others joined in.
Honeydew landed on the second to last plinth as Livid watched, his trousers still around his ankles.
"NOOOOO!" Lomadia shouted. Honeydew grabbed the eye of Dashi.
------------
Everything was back to normal now, and Honeydew held all three shen gong wu. The others rushed over to him.
"Honeydew! That was sweet!" Xevphera stated.
"You done a good days round-up partner!" Sjin added.
"I really like that robe thing" Xephos stated "What's it called again?"
"The two-ton tunic!" Honeydew stated, and the armour grew around him. He fell on his back and realised that Xephos had pulled a prank on him.
"I got yah." Xephos stated as him and Xevphera pulled him up.
------------
They were stood in the grand hall of the temple, in a line on front of Master Fung. Each now wore a red and white martial arts style uniform and Xevphera's hair was now in two black pigtails as appose to blonde.
"You have all done acceptingly well, wouldn't you agree Dojo?" Fung turned to the dragon that was sat on a tiny hammock sett out between a bonze tree.
"Not bad, for armatures" he joked.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step."
"Where do you get this stuff?"
"I have a desk calendar."
"Master Fung." Honeydew said before bowing "There are so many shen gong wu left to be found."
"Your new friends will help." Fung patted him on the head.
"Oh yes master! I have already taught much to Xevphera, Xephos and Sjin!"
"But, Honeydew! They are here to teach you!" Fung said happily.
"But... I am the chosen one..."
"You aren't the only chosen one, Honeydew, some day, your new friends may become dragons as well! Xevphera, the dragon of fire. Sjin, the dragon of earth. And Xephos, the dragon of the wind."
"Is this true master?"
"Yes, but I didn't want to tell you until you were ready."
Honeydew spun on the spot and fell to the floor.
"I don't think he was ready..." Sjin stated.
