No One P.O.V

Kimiko and Jack were in a middle of a showdown, except Jack was using the Jetbootsu to walk while Kimiko was climbing

"You know this is a showdown, right Kimiko?" Jack said

"You know those boots make you look like a dweep, right Jack?" Kimiko said with venom in her tone

"So not the case. These Shen Gong Wu, the Jetbootsu, allow me to defy gravity. Might as well say bye-bye to the Monkey Staff cause that one's as good as mine too" Jack said as he was almost close to the Wu

"You wish! Fist of Tebigong!" Kimiko shouted as she brought the fist down on the stone and it started rumbling

"Oh, like that's gonna work. I can defy gravity, remember" Jack reminded, making Kimiko realize her mistake

"Whoa! Oh!" Kimiko started to lose her grip

"Classic miscalculation. Your hot little head has ensured your defeat" Jack said as he resumed walking towards the Wu, and Kimiko lost her grip on the stone wall and started to fall. Luckily, she was caught by a branch, she tried picking herself up, but the branch broke

"Aw man!" Kimiko shouted as she fell

Jack jumped up and grabbed the Monkey Staff

"Check it and weep, baby!" Jack exclaimed after winning the showdown. Once Kimiko landed on the ground, the Fist of Tebigong vanished from her hand, now the Wu is in Jack's hands "The Fist of Tebigong is mine! The Jetbootsu are mine! Hey, what's this? The Monkey Staff is also mine too. I have agility and the balance of a monkey" Then a tail popped out "Hey, and a really cool tail!"

Somewhere in Lake Loch Ness

Dojo was in a form of a boat as he sailed through the waters

"Brrrrrr. This water's cold. I'm tellin' ya. I don't know how my cousin Nessie stands living here. Course, if you ask me, she likes all the attention 'Hey look, it's the Loch Ness Monster' " Dojo said, sounding like an Irish man

"Hey look, it's the Loch Ness Monster!" An Irish Man said from a distance

"See" Dojo said

Kimiko didn't say anything during the whole boat ride

"Oh, Kimiko, please don not feel sad" Omi said

I don't! And I don't need your pity either" Kimiko said

"I was merely going to point out that you could not expect to do better as you are a girl" Omi said, making both Kyoko and Kimiko let out a gasp

"Pardon me?" Kimiko asked angerly

"Care to explain what you mean?" Kyoko asked trying not to lose her cool

"Since we met, I have been studying all about girls from this eleventh century tome" Omi said as he pulled out the book

"The Ancient Guide to Females" Kimiko read

"Yes. It tells us that your talents lie elsewhere. In the kitchen, for example" Omi said as he opened up the book, but Kyoko took the book out of his hands and burnt it to a crisp with her lightning "No! My book!"

"Omi. You should know that the women in this day and age do not follow on how girls or women should act" Kyoko said with an irk mark on her head

"Don't be too hard on Kimiko. She was just trying to do her level of best. Which was pretty good considering" Clay said

"Considering what?" Kimiko asked, almost losing her cool

"Considerin' you're such a hot head" Clay said

"I believe her failure is due to her lack of upper-body strength" Omi said and that made Kimiko very angry

"I'LL SHOW YOU UPPER BODY STRENGTH!" Kimiko shouted

"Look out, she might use her slip and fall move on you" Raimundo mocked and he earned a smack from Kyoko

Then suddenly Dojo started shaking, almost making the Xiaolin warriors lose their balance

"Shen Gong Wu alert!" Dojo said

"What do we got?" Raimundo asked as Kimiko held the scroll to reveal the Wu

"Ah, the Tangle Web Comb" Omi said

"What does this Wu do?" Kyoko asked and the image showed the user using the Wu to tie someone up

"Oh man, that's hairy" Raimundo said

"Well, let's quit dilly dallyin' and go get it" Clay said

"Nowhere to go. It's here, baby" Dojo said

"Here?" Omi asked

"As in right here?" Kimiko asked

"That's what 'here' traditionally mean. Right here!" Dojo said as he pointed his head down, in the waters, they saw the golden glow

"This one's all mine!" Kimiko said as she got on the railing, getting ready to dive

"Kim's right. It should definitely be hers. She has to replace the one she just lost" Raimundo said, earning a glare from Kimiko and a growl "Sorry, I mean the two she just lost" Then he earn a shock from Kyoko. Kimiko jumped up and dived into the waters

"Do girls know how to swim?" Omi asked

"Of course they know how, Omi. The only time we don't how to swim was during the time when we were kids" Kyoko said

"I see" Omi nodded, then Kimiko swam back up to the surface with the Wu in hand

"Got it"

Xiaolin Temple

"It's a... comb. Cute" Raimundo said

"I think it's great you found a comb, Kimiko" Clay said

"Oh, yes. Accessorizing is within your talents as a female" Omi said and Kyoko flicked his forehead hard "Ow!"

"Stand back and prepare to be impressed" Kimiko said as she stood across from the training dummy "Tangle Web Comb!" Kimiko shouted as the web from the comb started making its way towards the dummy "Oh yeah! I'm so-" Then the web turned around and started making its way towards Kimiko "In trouble!" Next thing that happened was Kimiko was now tied up "Ah! Hey!"

"Um... I don't think she's usin' it right" Clay said

"Hold on, Kimiko. I'll help you get untied" Kyoko said as she tried to help Kimiko, but it's proven to be tougher than it looks

"You guys wanna go look through Kimiko and maybe Kyoko's stuff?" Raimundo asked, but he quickly moved out of the way as a bolt of lightning almost struck him

"Go through my stuff and your dead meat!" Kyoko shouted as she resumed trying to free Kimiko

"Guess just Kimiko's stuff then" Raimundo said as they started leaving

"Oh, I have never looked through a girl's stuff before. This shall be enlightening" Omi said

"Hey! Like Kyoko said about her stuff, touch my stuff and I'll-!" Then web tightened around Kimiko more

"Kimiko, Kyoko, are you two in need of assistance?" Master Fung asked he picked up the Tangle Web Comb from the ground

"No. I just need to practice. And I think Kyoko almost got it" Kimiko said, but they both ended up falling down

"Yes, the Tangle Web Comb is a difficult Shen Gong Wu to master. It requires absolute focus" Master Fung said

"I am so all about absolute focus. And I never met an accessory I couldn't handle!" Kimiko said

"How did I end up getting tied up with Kimiko?!" Kyoko asked as they both struggled

"Mhm. I see" Then Master Fung touched the web and it went back to the comb, and making both girls fall on the ground

"Whoa! Uh... Thanks. But there's something wrong with that stupid comb. I was totally focus" Kimiko said as Master Fung helped the girls up

"Is that so? Then please demonstrate your tremendous focus" Master Fung said

"How is she gonna do that?" Kyoko asked

Master Fung led the girls to the gazebo, there's a table with a giant tea pot and a couple of cups

"Pour some tea" Master Fung gestured Kimiko towards the giant tea pot

"Is this a joke?" Kimiko asked

"It requires absolute focus to successfully pour the tea from that pot into those cups without spilling a single drop" Master Fung said and Kimiko let out a breath

"Don't worry, Kimiko. I know you can do this" Kyoko encouraged her friend

"Thanks" Then she turned and walked towards the giant tea pot "All right, but this is seriously a waste of time" Kimiko picked up the giant tea pot, she struggled for a bit but she got the hang of it, and started pouring the tea into the cup "See? Totally focused"

Then she heard Omi gang

"Yuck! This candy is most unpleasant" Omi said

"That's cause it's lipstick" Raimundo said as he started messing with Kimiko's PDA "Oops, I think I deleted something"

"That's my lipstick! And my PDA!" Kimiko started to get angry

"Keep pouring, Kimiko" Master Fung said

"Look guys, Kimiko's serving up tea" Raimundo said as he and the guys walked towards the table and took a seat

"Ah, the traditional female role" Omi said and he earned a shock from Kyoko "Ow!"

"Tea sure would hit the spot right about now" Clay said

"Are you and Kyoko making cookies? We could use cookies or something" Raimundo said and earned a huge shock from Kyoko "AAAHHH!!!"

"Keep making making fun of me or Kimiko, then I'll make one of you a lightning rod when I'm training my element" Kyoko said with a smile, but the guys knew it wasn't her usual smiles. It was an angry one

It made the boys shiver

"B-But cookies is tastier than this" Omi said as he lifted up the already ruined lipstick

"Master Fung!"

"Keep pouring" Master Fung said

"But-!"

"You must drown out all distractions, quiet the storm of your mind. Only then will you achieve absolute focus. This applies to you as well, Kyoko" Master Fung said, Kimiko resumed pouring the tea, but her arms started to shake as she looked at the guys, who were still messing around with her stuff, while Omi was wiping his mouth, but the lipstick was smeared on his teeth. Kimiko almost spilled the tea from the cup, but managed to stay focus

"Oops. The next one will be perfect" Kimiko said as she was about to pour tea into the next cup

"I am very surprised that Kimiko can lift such a heavy pot with her delicate female arms" Omi said and Kimiko snapped

"WHAT?!" Then the giant tea pot dumped the pot into cup and overfilling the cup "Ah!" Kimiko accidentally tossed the giant tea pot to the side

The giant tea pot falling towards the ground, luckily Kyoko caught the giant tea pot before it landed on the ground

"Phew... That was a close one" Kyoko said

"Want to bet chores on when Kimiko will find her focus? This century or next?" Raimundo asked, then Kyoko dropped the giant tea pot on top of Raimundo "OW! OW! OW! OW!"

Jack Spicer's House - Basement

"I'm loving this! I have a tail!" Jack said as his monkey tail was wagging "See? I'm happy" Then Jack was moving around in his lair like an actual monkey and sounding like a monkey "Look at me, I'm a monkey in a tree!"

"*Sigh* We have world domination to plan" Wuya said, already sounding tired

"What's the point of world domination if you can't have a little fun?" Jack asked as he was hanging by the tail, but the sound of laughter came from upstairs "Keep it down up there!" Jack hit the ceiling with the Monkey Staff "I hate when my parents have parties"

"Drop the Monkey Staff! The longer you hold it, the more monkey like you will become" Wuya said

"I don't see it" Jack said as he was eating a banana

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" The alarm went off

"Excuse me" Entering the basement was a young girl "Sorry, I didn't know anybody was down here"

"What do you want?" Jack asked

"Ugh. Trying to get away from the party. Boring" The girl said as she looked at the stuff that Jack has on the table

"Standard for my folks' parties. Stop fest a go-go" Jack said

"So, are you Jack? The kid they're all talkin' about upstairs?" The girl asked

"They're talking about me? What are they saying? Are they calling me a genius?" Jack asked

"More like weirdo"

"Weirdo? What's so weird about me?!" Jack hit the table, but he ended up breaking it "Oh, my monkey strength" Then the girl was holding one of his guns "Hey! No touching!" Jack took the gun out of the girl's hands

"You know, this scream evil lair of a super villain intent on taking over the world" The girl said

"Really?"

"Yeah, I like"

"Indeed. What an intriguing young woman" Wuya said looking impressed and Jack let out a monkey shriek

"Out!" Jack shouted as his face turning more like a monkey

"All right, all right. You don't have to shriek. Monkey-faced freak" The girl said as she left the lair

"Yeah, a monkey-faced freak who takes care of business" Jack said as he scratched his head and pulled out a bug from his hair

"If only you could deal with the Xiaolin Warriors as effectively, we wouldn't-" Then Wuya's glowed and Jack let out a monkey screech "I am sensing a new Shen Gong Wu. The Golden Tiger Claws"

"Golden Tiger Claws? Golden Tiger Claw?! What're the Golden Tiger Claws?" Jack asked

"Tiger Claw made of gold" Wuya said

"And? And? Spill woman!" Jack shouted and Wuya floated close to his face

"Whoever wields them can transport to any location they choose. We must retrieve them. With the Tiger Claws in our arsenal, we shall be invincible!" Wuya said

"Think I can get a tire swing installed in here?" Jack asked and Wuya let out sigh

Kyoko P.O.V

Dojo took us to the location where the Golden Tiger Claws are. Once he landed, we jumped off and Dojo reverted back to his small size

"The Golden Tiger Claws are inside that palace?" Omi asked

"That's what this rash is telling me. Wonder if there's an ointment for this" Dojo wondered as he scratched the spot

"How do we get in there?" Raimundo asked

"Maybe if we knock on the door and ask real nice like?" Clay suggested

"That's the emperor's palace. They don't just let anybody in there, we need connections" Dojo said

"Oh, no worries. I'll call my dad" Kimiko said as she pulled out her phone and started dialing the number "Moshi-moshi papa, Kimiko, yeah. I need a few invites to the emperor's palace. No way. Not going to happen, no. Not in this lifetime. Really? Do I have to? All right, all right" Then Kimiko ended the call

"Well?"

"We're in, but there's a catch" Kimiko said as she explains on what we need to do

"Oh, then give me a sec. I actually know someone who can help us" I said as I pulled out my phone and dialed the number

"Hey, Chi. I have a favor to ask you... What? You already know what I was going to ask? Geez, you always a couple of steps of ahead of me. What do you mean it'll be here soon?" The moment I said that, a driver came up

"Delivery for Miss Kyoko"

"That's me. Thank you" Then the driver left the package "Thanks again, Chi. You're a lifesaver. Call me if you need a favor done. Bye" I end the call

"What's in the package?" Kimiko asked

"The outfits we need to wear to enter the palace. My friend from my hometown delivered some clothes for the occasion" I said as I opened the box to reveal some Chinese formal wear

We went somewhere to change into them, after some time, the guys (minus Omi) were finished changing. For me, I finished changing, I just doing my hair

'I haven't braided my hair for a long time' I thought after finishing and added an hair accessory. I looked at myself in the mirror to make sure everything is in place

'Everything looks good' I thought as I stepped out

"Sorry for making you all wait" I apologized as I walked towards them

"Whoa" Raimundo was speechless and Clay didn't say a word

"Amazing, Kyoko. You look like a proper girl" Omi said and I felt an irk mark forming

"What do you mean by that?" I asked angerly, before Omi spoke, both Raimundo and Clay covered his mouth

"Nothing! He meant nothing!" Raimundo said

"Ugh... I can't believe I'm wearing this" We saw Kimiko wearing a pink kimono, in her hair was the Tangle Web Comb and she was holding a fan. Raimundo started laughing and Kimiko glared at him "Shut it"

"I think Kimiko's clothing is most appropriate. She at last resembles a girl" Omi said and earned a shock "Ow!"

"You seriously need to stop saying that" I said

"Where're your formal duds, Omi?" Clay asked

"These are my formal robes, Clay. The thread count is slightly higher. Notice the exquisite sheen?" Omi asked as he showed his sleeve

'Guess that explains why Chiori didn't send any clothes for Omi' I thought

"Let's find these Tiger Claws and bail" Kimiko said as started walking up the stairs, but it looked like she was having trouble

"Are you planning on walking three steps behind us?" Raimundo joked and I smacked his shoulder

"No, I plan on leaving you in my dust!" Kimiko said as she continued walking up, but it looks like she might lose her balance

"Kimiko, please be careful or you might..." Before I could warn her, she already fell "Fall..." I quickly headed towards her side "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine" Kimiko stood up "Stupid kimono. Focus. You can do this. Focus" Kimiko said

"You got this Kimiko" I said as I followed behind her

"Kim's looking wobbly. Anybody want to double our bet? Two weeks of chores?" Raimundo asked the guys

"Can you guys stay focus at the task at hand" I said

Once we reached the entrance, the man guarding the door, moved to the side an opened the door for us. When we got inside, we looked for the Golden Tiger Claws

"Any sign of the claws?" Kimiko asked

"These are lion claws, very similar" Omi said as he climbed onto the lion statue

"But no dice" Raimundo said

"Oh, dice. Are we looking for dice too?" Omi asked

"That's just a saying, Omi" I said, Clay blew dust away from the samurai armor

"Nothin' here, but dust bunnies" Clay said and Dojo was sniffing around

"I know it's down here somewhere. But more down than here" Dojo said as he continued sniffing

I was walking  around, and the floor felt off for a minute. I looked down and found a door

"Hey, guys! I found a door" I said and Clay lifted up the door to reveal the stairway down. Coming from below was moans of pain

"A staircase into the darkness. How very..." Omi didn't finish his sentence

"Creepy?"

"Yes"

"After you, Kimiko, Kyoko, unless you're scared" Raimundo mocked

"How funny. I was gonna say that to you too since you offered first without hesitation" I said as I walked down the stairs and I heard Kimiko chuckle

"She got you there, Rai" Kimiko said as followed

As we walked down, now it looks like we entered a cavern

"Can anyone see anything?" Kimiko asked and we heard the same moan from earlier "What was that moaning?"

Stepping out from the shadows was none other than Jack Spicer except he looked more like a monkey than a person

"Quit your incessant moaning and get the Tiger Claws you fool" Wuya demanded

"Can't help it. I'm banana-nauseated" Jack said as he let out another moan

"It's Jack! And he's headed towards-!" Kimiko let out a gasp

"It's the Golden Tiger Claws!" I said as we saw the claws

"I so don't need this right now. Jack Bots! Get rid of them, now! And get me some ginger ale" Jack said

"Yes, sir" His Jack Bot turned its head around, and presented Jack a glass of ginger ale. He drank the whole glass and let out a burp

"Thanks. You can crush them now" Jack said and his Jack Bots were heading towards us

"Water!" Omi shouted as he threw the Jack Bot to the side, Clay stepped forward. The Jack Bot started firing at Clay

"Earth!" Clay shouted as he smacked the Jack Bot down to the ground below "Thanks for droppin' by, or just droppin'" Clay said

Another one of Jack's bot started firing at Raimundo, he dodges the blast

"Wind!" Raimundo shouted as he jumps behind the bot smacked it, heading towards Kimiko

"Fire!" Kimiko shouted as she lifted up her kimono to have room send a kick at the Jack Bot

"Why do you build these stupid machines?! They're useless!" Wuya shouted

"Mom said I needed a hobby" Jack said as he drank another glass of ginger ale and let out another burp "That's better. Now for the Claws!" Jack let out a monkey shriek and started making his way to the Wu

"I don't think so, Jack!" I said as I jumped off the edge

"Kyoko! Catch!" Kimiko threw the Tangle Web Comb at me, and I caught it. When I landed, the Golden Tiger Claws started to glow the moment Jack and I both touched the Wu

"Sweet. Kyoko, I challenge to a Xiaolin Showdown" Jack said

No One P.O.V

"Fine. Name the game" Kyoko said

"A race across the  bridges. First one over wins. What do you say Kyoko?" Jack asked

"I say let's go. Xiaolin Showdown!" Kyoko said and our surroundings started to change. We were both teleported at the starting line, at the very end were the Golden Tiger Claws

"Gong Yi Tan Pai!" They both shouted and Jack took off first. Kyoko took off her sandals and ripped the bottom part of her clothes, so she can run better

'I'll have to apologize to Chiori after this' Kyoko thought and she started running

"Get in the game, girl!" Dojo shouted

"Anyone want to add this to the wager? Double? Clay? Omi?" Raimundo asked

"Okay" They agreed

"Seriously, you guys?" Kimiko sighed

As Kyoko was running to catch up, Jack was jumping around thanks to the Monkey Staff

"Whoo hoo hoo! This is too easy" Jack said, but the ground started shaking, making them lose their balance. Jack caught himself with his tail and he got back up

"That's a good look for you" Jack said as Kyoko caught herself as she held onto the edge and pulled herself back up

"Why did I agree to this showdown..." Kyoko asked herself

"Hey, what's keeping you?" Jack asked as he let out another monkey shriek. When Kyoko got back on her feet, the ground started to shake again, and she fell on her butt "It helps if you don't fall on your butt!" Jack laughed "Sorry, but I have a showdown to win" Then Jack jumping ahead

"Grrr..." Kyoko started to get angry and she pulled the Tangle Web Comb "Tangle Web Comb!" Kyoko shouted and the web started heading towards monkey Jack. Thinking it's gonna work, but it ended up heading towards her direction and ended up getting tied up. Kyoko struggled to free herself and fell backwards, as she struggles, she remembered the words that Master Fung said to Kimiko

"You drown out all distraction. Calm the storm of your mind. Only then will you achieve absolute focus. This applies to you as well, Kyoko" Kyoko closed her eyes, and drowned out all the distractions. Finally, the web released Kyoko

"The Tiger Claws are min-!" The Monkey Staff was snatched out of his hand and was now in Kyoko's hand "Hey!" Jack shouted and he started to change back into a human

"Yes! It worked!" Kyoko said

"Big deal, you got the Monkey Staff" Jack said

"I'm pretty sure it is considering  how much fun you were having not to long ago" Kyoko said

"Too bad I'm only one small step-" As Jack was about to grab the Golden Tiger Claws, the ground started shaking again and the Wu fell off the pedestal "No!" Jack jumped down to catch the Wu

At the same time, Kyoko jumped down and used the Tangle Web Comb to swing towards the Wu. Jack was about to grab the Tiger Claws, but in the end, Kyoko grabbed the Wu, making her the winner of the showdown. Once everything returned to normal, Kyoko was swinging towards her friends and landed

"How did I do?" Kyoko asked as she tossed the Golden Tiger Claws in Omi's hands

"Considering this is your first showdown, you did good" Raimundo said as he gave her a fist bump

"You whooped old Jack butt good" Clay said as he also gave Kyoko a fist bumped

"That was awesome, Kyoko" Kimiko said

"Kyoko, you taught me much about the strength of women. I now completely understand the modern female" Omi said

"Really though?" Kyoko asked as she lifted up her brow "Well, I hope we'll get some respect now"

"You got it. Monkey butt" Raimundo said as he and Clay laughed as a monkey's tail appeared

"Girls have tails?!" Omi asked who was in shock, growing agitated, Kyoko slapped all three of the guys with her tail

"Ow!" They screamed in pain

"Better than getting shocked, right?" Kyoko asked with an angry smile, and the boys didn't say word "Anyway, let's head back. I need a bath after going through all this"

The Xiaolin Warriors left the emperor's palace and Dojo flew them back to the temple

To be continued
