Chapter 1

Yep, here it is. The sequel to The Test.

Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown and I never will

P.S. Do I always have to do a disclaimer?

It has been one month since Dashi tested the skills of the newly appointed Shoku Warrior by kidnapping Kimiko and forcing Raimundo, Clay and Omi to fight the top three of the Xiaolin Guardians. The Xiaolin Guardians were a young group of teens who had mystical powers similar to the monks. There are six guardians. The leader is Tim, the Guardian of Darkness, he is the strongest of the guardians and very little is known about him. To him, honor and following his master's orders is everything, but when his friends are in danger, nothing else matters. Lee is the Guardian of Lightning and his sister Ling is the Guardian of Thunder, they are always arguing with one another. Individually they are weak, but when they are together, they are a force to be reckoned with. Mai is the Guardian of Light, she is always found hanging around Tim. Her powers are mainly used for defending and healing. She is a kind person. Xing is the Guardian of Sound, he was blind at birth and was raised at a temple in China just like Omi. With his training, Xing was able to use sound to 'see'. Finally there is Kai, the Guardian of Space. Kai is a 'special' person, meaning she is always distracted by something, but when she isn't distracted she can be a deadly adversary. The guardians were founded by Dashi when he 'died' 1500 years ago.

Now that they have moved to the temple with the monks, they have become honorary monks. In the past month they have helped Raimundo and the others gather the wu. Raimundo and Omi have been teaching the guardians how the shen gong wu work.

"So, I just call out the name of this thing and lightning shoots out from it?" Lee asked as he looked at the Eye of Dashi. "Because it's kinda hard to believe that a small thing like this can do that."

"Yeah all you do is yell out it's name. Oh and call out your element after you do so it gets stronger." Kimiko explained. Today it was Kimiko and Raimundo teaching their new friends how to use the wu.

"Don't bother Kim. He's probably scared." Raimundo said as he hung upside down from a tree.

"I'll show you." Lee pointed the wu at Raimundo. "Eye of Dashi, Lightning!" When Lee shouted it's name, a several bolts of lightning shot out from the wu and spread out into a much wider range than usual.

"Uh oh." Raimundo said as he closed his eyes. When he opened them he found that Lee missed him. "Ha, nice shot dude." Kimiko pulled Raimundo's leg and he fell to the ground face first. "Ow. What was that for?"

"Serves you right." Kimiko started walking away, but Raimundo caught her and began tickling her. Soon the two were having a tickle fight while Lee stared and walked away.

"I'll just leave you two lovebirds at it then." Raimundo and Kimiko immediately got up, blushing at the comment. Lee started laughing, but when he saw the look on Raimundo's face he ran. Kimiko left as Raimundo caught up to Lee. Kimiko was about to leave, but was stopped when she saw Mai.

"I saw what happened between you two. I knew you liked him." Mai smiled as she walked away.

"Wait, what!" Kimiko yelled as she began chasing after Mai.

On the other side of the temple, Omi and Xing were sparring.

"Repulse the Monkey!" Omi threw Xing onto his back as he was charging at Omi.

"Wow Omi, you have much skill." Xing said as Omi helped him up.

"Yes. I do and yet Raimundo was chosen to be the leader and not me." Omi looked down. Xing tried to comfort him. "But I can still show Dashi that I am better than Raimundo!" Omi smiled and ran off to find Dashi. Xing just smiled and shook his head.

Clay was showing his cowboy 'skills' to Ling.

"Hey Clay, do you know where Kai is?" Ling said, looking around.

"I dunno, she's probably looking for Raimundo." Clay said as he lassoed a dummy. Kai was in fact looking for Raimundo... that is until she got distracted by a butterfly, then a flower, then a cat, and many more things.

"Well, do you know where Tim is?" Clay was about to answer, but Ling beat him to it. "Oh wait, he's probably talking with Dashi or Master Fung."

Later that day, Dojo had sensed a new wu and everyone was in the scroll room, waiting to hear what the newly activated shen gong wu does.

"This one's called the Danger Sneakers. When worn, it it is able to warn the wearer of any nearby dangers. This one was pretty useful if you can't use your own powers to sense anything around you." Dashi explained as he looked at the scroll.

"Well what are we waiting for team, let's bag this wu." Raimundo said as Dojo transformed. The monks all went to their rooms to change, Master Fung gave the monks their own rooms as soon as Dashi and his guardians moved in.

"Hey Rai, we gotta hurry if we're gonna..." Kimiko ran to Raimundo to tell him to hurry and stopped as she saw him without his shirt.

"Hey, Kimiko? Why are you staring?" Kimiko quickly snapped out of it when she heard Raimundo's voice and blushed as he grabbed her hands. "You alright? Your face is really red."

"Uh, yeah I'm fine." She smiled sheepishly. "We should hurry. The others are waiting for us."

"Got it." Raimundo and Kimiko ran to the others and mounted Dojo. They were soon off towards the location of the newly activated shen gong wu.

"Umm, Rai? What was with the dragon tattoo?" When Kimiko saw Raimundo, she couldn't help but notice a dragon looking tattoo.

"Oh that. I dunno. I've had it for as long as I can remember." Tim who was standing all the way in the back heard the conversation. A dragon-shaped tattoo. It cannot be. Tim thought. I must inform Dashi.

In a dark room sat four figures. They were looking down onto the floor that showed what the monks were doing.

"Is he the one master?" One of the figures said.

"Yes. He is the one." Another replyed.

"My brothers. He is the one. The key to unlocking the door." The figure at the highest point of the room said. "We shall strike soon."

Finally, I started on this one. I try to get the next chapter up soon. And not soon-soon, but when I have time. I won't be able to get the chapters up as fast as my first fic, so don't expect fast updates.
