Training

We see the sun rising as we see the group as they were seen in a room in an apartment as Ashton wakes up as he walks to the kitchen as he then noticed that Dimitri is already there as he was seen with a kettle on the stove.

Ashton: Dimitri, how long have you been in here?

Dimitri: About as you say in your time 5 AM.

Ashton: Pretty early to be up at five, ain't it?

Dimitri then turns to the kettle as he takes it off the stove and begins to pour himself some tea.

Dimitri: I know, but your world is still strange to me. There's still many things I'm not used to, such as waking up later than five

Ashton: Look I get it, you were from the past and was brought here by Aku. So you're missing your own time?

Dimitri: That is one way to put it.

Ashton: Don't worry about that, you'll get used to it. And besides, you're not the only one who's trying to get used to the modern home.

Dimitri: Really?

Ashton: Yeah, there's Diana, she's still struggling to cope with modern things.

Dimitri: I see.

Ashton: Look, the point is you're not alone in this. We got your back.

Dimitri: Thanks.

Ashton: Anytime. By the way, Jerry called me, I don't know how he got my number but he asked for us to help train Clover, Alex and Sam.

Dimitri:  Very well, then we will accept his offer. And speaking of offers, I have something for you.

Ashton: What is it?

Dimitri then held up an outfit which was neatly folded up to Ashton.

Dimitri: I would like to teach you the ways of the shinobi.

Ashton: And the best way to do so is a little game I learned called Xiaolin Showdown!

Dimitri: You are familiar with it?

Ashton: Two warriors start a showdown over a shen gong wu or other item of power often betting a wu of their own and the winner gets the wu the showdown was over and the Wu wagered

Dimitri: Very well, perhaps this can be what we can be competing for.

Dimitri then held out a intricately designed hourglass

Dimitri: The sands of time.

Ashton: No way! That thing can control the flow of time itself!

Dimitri: Indeed, thus allowing the user to travel to the past or future.

Clover: And you like, had that thing up your butt?

Dimitri looked at Clover with a glare as Sam came to him and Clover.

Sam: What Clover is trying to say is that you were keeping an item that can let you travel through time this entire time?

Dimitri: Yes.

Ashton: But why keep it, that thing can send you back home.

Dimitri: Because altering the past will only make Aku stronger. Knowing any action I do in the past can alter the future in many ways. That is why I do not intend to use it for that purpose.

Ashton: Well, anyway how about we start this showdown and we will be doing this for the sands of time.

Dimitri: Very well, no shen gong wu, we use only the skills we possess.

Ashton: Deal.

Dimitri: The first one to find the sands of time will be the victor.

Ashton: You're on.

Dimitri: Let's go.

Dimitri and Ashton: Xiaolin Showdown!

We then see the area around them transform into a field surrounded with cherry blossom trees as Dimitri and Ashton stood looking at each other as the sands of time was between them as a wind carrying blossom petals came and swirled around the sands of time and caused it to vanished out of their sight as the others were seen by a blossom tree.

Nami: I wasn't expecting this.

Ashton: That's a showdown for ya, always keeps you guessing.

Dimitri then looks at Ashton as he pulls out his sword as we see Ashton pulling out the Abyssal Blade.

Dimitri and Ashton: Gong yi Tampai!

The group then looked at Ashton and Dimitri in confusion at the words they had just said.

Ashton: That means go.

Ashton then looked and saw Dimitri coming towards him with the sword as he swings it at him as Ashton uses his sword to block his attack as we see the two clashing swords at each other as Ashton blocked the slashes as Ashton brings his sword at Dimitri as he uses his sword to block it and push Ashton back as he fell to the ground as he gets up and gets to a pillar of a bridge as Dimitri thrusts his sword at Ashton as he jumped to the next pillar as Dimitri thrust at him with the sword again as Ashton jumped again as he rolled dodging a slash from Dimitri as he dodged another slash as he then blocked a slash with his sword as he jumped dodging an attack as Dimitri raised his sword.

Dimitri: Excellent, using your superior agility against an opponent! Smart.

He then came at Ashton as he then blocked an upcoming slash as the two resumed clashing swords as Ashton was pinned to a wall as Ashton ducked avoiding a slash as Dimitri continued to slash at Ashton with the sword as Ashton continued to duck the slashes as he then went up the wall as they resumed clashing with their swords.

Dimitri: Excellent use of terrain, fighting from the high grounds.

As Dimitri thrusts his sword at Ashton we see him use his feet and sword to trap his sword as Dimitri tried to get it free as he then lifted it up making Ashton fall back hitting a tree as Dimitri came as swung his sword as Ashton moved out of the way as the tree was sliced as he then started to run through the trees as he began slicing the trees in his path as he ran as we see Dimitri following Ashton from behind as branches began to fall as Dimitri was slashing at the branches cutting them into pieces as Ashton ran and took a turn pulling on a branch as he released it while Dimitri came causing the tree branch to come towards him as he sliced it.

Dimitri: Yes, use your surroundings, make them fight for you.

We then see Ashton running as he pulls a branch making it swing towards Dimitri as he slices it as we see Ashton running out of the trees as he sees Dimitri behind him running after him as he sees Dimitri was gone he looked forward and saw Dimitri as he thrusts his sword out as Ashton ducks avoiding the blade as he made his sword stab the ground and swung it out causing dirt to fly out as the dirt hit Dimitri in the face as it got in his eyes as he stumbled back as he tried to open his eyes but can't due to the dirt.

Dimitri: A low tactic, but resourceful.

Dimitri then stood in place while holding his sword as Ashton looked at him and started to tiptoe around Dimitri to ready a sneak attack as he then stepped on a branch breaking it as Dimitri ears picked up the sound as he turned his head to Ashton as he charged at him as Ashton tried to use his sword to block only for Dimitri to twirl his arm around and got Ashton's sword out of his hand as Ashton saw Dimitri swing at him as he dodged the attack but fell as Dimitri had the sword pointed at him.

Dimitri: The showdown is over.

Ashton: What, why?

Dimitri: Look for yourself.

Ashton looked and saw his hand and Dimitri's foot were touching the sands of time as the area returned to normal as Dimitri was seen holding the sands of time while wiping the dirt out of his eyes.

Yang: So who won?

Dimitri: The duel had resulted in a draw, me and Ashton had both found the sands of time and both won.

Ashton: See Xiaolin Showdowns can go any way you can think. One could be a multilevel pyramid maze, another could be a large scale game of chess. And then there are the ones where at least 8 people touch the same Wu those can get even crazier.

Dimitri: Indeed, but you must remain on your toes. Standing still in a Xiaolin Showdown means losing the showdown itself.

Ashton: So hopefully that will have you guys be on heads up for whenever that happens. Thinking of what other Shen Gong Wu do  you have?

Dimitri: The sands of time is one of the three shen gong wu I possess.

Dimitri then reveals what looked like a small statue of a blue dragon and a pair of black and gold gauntlets.

Daphne: What are those?

Dimitri: two of the three Shen Gong Wu I hold, the Sapphire Dragon and the Moby Morpher.

Ashton picks up the Moby Morpher as he slips the halves on his arms.

Ashton: Moby Morpher.

Ashton then brought the halves together as he then changed to look like Daphne.

Ashton: Holy cow I'm hot!

Dimitri: The Moby Morpher allows the user to change his shape into any form, even the shape of his enemies.

Daphne: Ash, can you please change back.

Ashton: Right.

Ashton then used the Moby Morpher as he then changed back to his normal self as Alex looked at the dragon statue Dimitri held.

Alex: So what about the other one?

Dimitri: The sapphire dragon is a very dangerous shen gong wu, meaning it is only to be used as a last resort.

Nami: What makes it dangerous?

Dimitri: Once it has been used it uses its fire to turn anyone into sapphire and control them, whether they are good or evil.

Ashton: Yikes.

Dimitri: But perhaps we can begin Sam, Clover and Alex's training.

Ashton: Good call.

We later see everyone outside as Clover, Alex and Sam look at Ashton and Dimitri.

Ashton: This will be a simple task, all you three gotta do is get this pebble from us. (Holds up a pebble)

Clover: We can do that.

Ashton: Well then try.

Clover then walked to Ashton as she tried to grab the pebble but Ashton moved his arm away.

Ashton: Not so fast, first we need to explain the catch.

Dimitri then pulled out the sands of time.

Dimitri: All you three need to do is get the pebble from our hands before the sand runs out from the hourglass.

Ashton: Let's go Xiaolin Showdown!

We then see the buildings around them start to change as if gravity has become warped.

Clover: Whoa.

Ashton and Dimitri: Gong Yi Tampai!

We then see Ashton and Dimitri jump over Alex as they begin to run up the stairs.

Alex: Hey!

Ashton: Keep your head in the game!

We then see Alex, Sam and Clover run after the two and look to see Dimitri and Ashton running through the stairs in different directions and angles.

Clover: What in the world?

We then see Dimitri and Ashton running down stairs while jumping.

Alex: Hey!

They then looked to see the sand in the hourglass was going down as the three then started to go down but started tumbling down the stairs as they saw the sand in the hourglass going down.

Ashton: Keep up, girls.

We then see Dimitri and Ashton running up the stairs as Alex, Clover and Sam followed them but looked to see the two running up stairs that was across the stairs they were on as they continue to run after them as they were seen running around a and went through a doorway as Sam, Clover and Alex began to grow tired as Clover saw a water tower and kicked the beams off making it fall down and bring a current of water towards Dimitri and Ashton as they jumped on a doorway and used it like a surfboard as they surfed down the current as they jumped to a window as Clover, Alex, and Sam came out from another.

Ashton: Water? Come on, you gotta try harder than that.

As Ashton laughed he then ducked as a spray of liquid nitrogen was seen hitting his hand with the pebble in it freezing it in a block of ice as Cover was seen holding a sprayer attached to a tank of liquid nitrogen as Ashton then used the block of ice to slide away as Dimitri was seen leaping from roof to room as he lands next to Ashton and kicks the block of ice breaking it freeing his hand.

Dimitri: Nice try girls, but no dice.

Ashton: Or should we say no ice.

Ashton then laughed at his joke as we see Sam, Alex and Clover coming at the three as they leap over Ashton as they reached to grab the pebble but Ashton closed his hand and we see the three land in a puddle of mud.

Clover: Ew! I'm covered in mud!

Alex: So we lost?

Ashton: No, there's still one thing you three haven't tried.

Alex: May we have the pebble?

Ashton: Sure.

Ashton then handed Alex the pebble as the area returned to normal as the girls got up.

Clover: Wait, if you were just gonna give us the pebble, why have us do all that stuff?

Dimitri: Two reasons.

Ashton: One, cause it was funny, and two, to teach you three something. You can't just face baddies head on, you three are gonna have to try something unexpected.

Dimitri: Exactly.

Ashton: Dimitri, just curious, who taught you how to do Xiaolin Showdowns?

Dimitri: Grand Master Dashi.

Ashton stood in shock looking at Dimitri hearing what he had just  said as his jaw dropped to the ground.

Ashton: Wait, you mean to tell me that you were trained by a grand master xiaolin dragon?

Dimitri: Yes, and I was given the title as the Grand Master of Water.

Ashton: You became a grand master at a young age?

Dimitri: Yes.

Ashton then felt his phone vibrate and checked to see he got a text from Jerry.

Ashton: Dimitri, it's a text from Jerry. It says he wants to see you.

Dimitri: Ok. I'll see what he needs.

We later see Dimitri in the WOOHP base as he walks up to Jerry.

Dimitri: I'm here, what is it that requires my attention.

Jerry: I have someone who would like to see you. An old acquaintance you might say.

Dimitri looked to see a door open as his eyes widened as he saw the person.

Dimitri: It can't be... Em... You're alive...

We look to see a blonde girl in a sorceress outfit wearing glasses walking out of the door to see Dimitri as she smiles  at him.

Em: My love.

Dimitri looked at her in shock as he then walked towards her and the two embraced each other in a hug.

Dimitri: My angel, it really is you.

Em: My dear, the days I dreamed of you and this moment.

Jerry smiled as he sees Em and Dimitri embracing each other as he cleared his throat.

Jerry: Well, I am very glad for you both.

Em: This man has brought us together, my love. We owe our reunion to Jerry and the WOOHP organization.

Dimitri: I suppose, and I now go by a name here Em, I am Dimitri.

Em: That is a beautiful name Dimitri.

Dimitri: But how did you… I thought you had perished by Aku's hands.

Em: No, when I heard what Aku had done to you, I went to your land to face him. I fought him with my magic and weakened him which forced him to go into hiding.

Dimitri: How did you survive all these centuries?

Em: When I learned Aku sent you into the future, I cast a spell on myself encasing and preserving my body in crystal in hopes that I will awaken and we could be together again, and when I awoke, I had searched in countries to find you and we could be reunited.

Jerry: Tad and I had found her wandering the streets in LA, so I had a feeling she had some connection with you and decided to bring her to you.

Dimitri then looked at Em as he smiled underneath his mask as he looked at Em.

Dimitri: With you alive, I can start to live again as well.

Em: It was as you said Dimitri, you and I are one, now and forever.

Dimitri and Em then came together as Em lowered Dimitri's mask and kissed him on the lips as they both embraced each other as they separated as Dimitri looked at Em.

Dimitri: Em, during my time here, I had made new friends and a clan, I would like you to meet them.

Em: Of course, any friend and ally to you is a friend and ally to me.

Dimitri and Em then started to walk out of the base to make their way back to the others.

End.
