Raimundo ran to the burning temple, looking for survivors. Dark clouds swirled above him, the Sun was no where to be seen. No one had appeared out of the temple yet. He summoned his wind element and hovered above the temple. Oh God, please… please let there be survivors. Omi, Clay, Master Fung… Kimiko… Oh no… Kimiko….
Wait- there. He had seen it. Someone was coming out of the fire. Raimundo landed behind a tree and took a look. That someone was a teenage boy. He was clutching his bloodied arm. His pale blonde hair was also covered in blood. He looked panic stricken. He was shouting into the fire, "What the hell are you doing?? Don't you remember me, Ashlyn??"
Another figure emerged from the fire, this time a girl. Blood trickled down from her head, rolling down her cheek. Her hands were covered in blood. She smiled. "I'm doing what I should have done years ago!" she shouted, advancing onto the boy.
"Stop," a voice said from behind the thick smoke from the fire. "Come. We have other things to attend to. We will return another time to finish the job," the voice continued. The girl looked angered but she silently followed.
"You were lucky," she snarled at the boy before disappearing.
Two months earlier…
"Welcome, Blaze Ryder," Master Fung greeted as the new student stepped into the temple grounds.
"Glad to be here, Master Fung," Blaze smiled. He proceeded walking into the temple with his sling bag, together with Master Fung by his side.
"The other Dragons are away on a quest for yet another Shen Gong Wu. I am sure that they will return from their quest soon," Master Fung led him to the bedroom.
"That's no problem, Master Fung," Blaze replied.
"This is will be your room," Master Fung held out an arm, gesturing towards the cubicles.
"… This… is the… bedrooms?" Blaze blinked in confusion. He turned around, expecting Master Fung to laugh and say, "Ha-ha! No, Blaze. This was just a joke" but he had disappeared. Blaze sighed and walked towards the empty cubicle at the end.
Raimundo put a finger on his lips, indicating that they should be quiet. Kimiko, Clay and Omi nodded in unison. They advanced slowly on their victim, holding their breaths in excitement. Raimundo gestured with his fingers that Omi and Clay take their place at the other side of the entrance.
Once everyone was in their places, Raimundo held up three fingers, starting the countdown. Three… Kimiko took out her secret weapon. Two… Omi took his stance. One… Clay grinned.
"GO!!" Raimundo lifted the curtains and the Xiaolin Warriors barged onto their victim. Omi yelled and intended to crash into their victim. Kimiko lifted her secret weapon with happened to be party strings and unleashed its horror. Clay lassoed their victim.
But of course, things went wrong because their victim wasn't even there.
Omi crashed into the wall, Kimiko sprayed Omi, covering him with party strings and Clay lassoed Kimiko. Kimiko yelled and fell onto the floor. Raimundo laughed uncontrollably with tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Wait! Where's the new guy??" Kimiko shouted.
"Hi. What's up, guys?" Blaze appeared beside a laughing Raimundo, carrying a can of soda.
"That. Was not as amusing as when you told me the plan, Kimiko," Omi stated, trying to get the party strings off his face.
"Howdy, partner. Nice of you to join the party," Clay greeted, shaking hands with Blaze.
"Clay?? Could you un-lasso me??" Kimiko yelled.
Blaze laughed and took a sip of the soda. I can get used to this.
"You got a visitor," the guard announced, pressing a button. The glass door slides open and a man steps into the room. He smiles as he spots her leaning on the wall, staring at him with crimson eyes.
"Hello, Ashlyn. How are you today?" he greets.
"How nice of you to drop by, Spicer," she replies, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Yes. It has been too long. And call me Rayne, Ashlyn. We've known each other for far too long," Rayne Spicer says.
Ashlyn rolls her eyes. "So, tell me. What is your purpose here?" she asks.
"How would you like to meet your dear brother, Ashlyn?"
"Oh, I would love that," she replies with a grin.
Please review! See you!
