The tale from Xiaolin.

Chapter 2

Suddenly, 4 people with a strange snake came out of the forest. Or maybe a lizard? As soon as they saw me, they started walking towards me.

- Hello stranger! - one, the lowest of them, began. - We are looking for an ancient item here. Haven't seen one in the area?

- Omi! People don't know about wu. How would she know what we're looking for? - another replied

- Stop arguing like bulls on a rodeo or you'll scare her. - Another of them said, slightly lifting his cowboy hat looking at me.

- Are you sure the Dojo are here? Are you not mistaken? - The girl who was them asked.

- Certainly not! See for yourself what bubbles came out on my tail! - The lizard, which was obviously called Dojo, replied.

If I found a talking lizard this morning, I would probably have passed out, but after what happened today, I don't think anything will surprise me anymore. In an instant the box was back in my hand so I got up and showed it to a boy named Omi.

- Is this what you are looking for? - While saying, I held out my hand with the cube.

- Yes! Thank you for helping us find her. Can you give it back to us?

- I would love to, but I'm afraid I can't - by saying this I try to let go of the dice by throwing it on the ground, but instead of coming down it just stretches like rubber.

- I will be happy to help with this! - Suddenly a strange boy appeared out of nowhere, floating in the air thanks to a strange machine made of windmills - All we need to do is shoot off your arm and then he will let it go!

- Brilliant idea Jack! - A strange ghost flying around Jack said - we absolutely must have this shen gong wu!

- Jackbots! Attack! - Jack shouted.

Suddenly, from behind him, a multitude of weapons machines appeared behind him and began firing at me and the other five. The cube turned into a huge shield that protected us from attacks. After a while, only me and the Dojo remained there, and the others went to fight, destroying the robots. Suddenly, Jack and Omi touch the shield.

- Jack Spiceers, I challenge you to a xiaolin showdown! My orb with tornami versus your tiger claws! - Omi suddenly shouted.

- I agree! We will race to the other end of the clearing.

- Let's get started! Xiaolin Showdown! - they both shouted simultaneously.

But nothing happened. After a moment of silence.

- Dojo what is this all about? Why doesn't the duel start? - Omi asked.

- I'm already checking. - The dojo took out a book with some rules from nowhere. - Mhm mhm. Oh yeah. He writes here that if Tsung's Cube chooses his master, it is impossible to fight for her in a xiaolin sowdown.

- But Dojo, it hasn't chosen me yet! Who else could be her master if not me? - Omi said.

Everyone's eyes turned to me.

- Is it possible that the cube chose you? - the Dojo says in surprise.

- Yes. Earlier, he stated that I was his master. Although I don't understand why.

- Stated? Are you saying you can hear and understand the cube? - asked the Dojo.

- Yes. He's talking to me in his mind. Or at least he spoke earlier explaining what it is and how to use it.

- We must report it to Master Fung as soon as possible! Kids, we're flying away! - At the moment, the Dojo turned into a giant dragon.

- Dojo but why? We are not taking wu with us? - one of the boys asked.

- It is impossible. the cube is one of a kind. If he chooses who it is to serve, no one else will be able to use it. You also have nothing to look for here! - He shouted to Jack and the ghost and flew away.

Before leaving, Jack noticed my drawing pad. There was currently an anime character drawn there.

- Do you watch anime?! Did you draw it yourself? You are amazing! Maybe you would like to watch something together sometime? - Jack asked.

- Nice suggestion, but I don't know if I'd like to watch anime with someone who tried to kill me.

- I'll be back. Besides, I have to clean up what's left of the jackbots after this battle. I will convince you to watch together! Jack shouted, and they flew away taking as many robots as they had lifted.

I have to admit it was a really interesting noon. I looked at the box, which had reverted to its bracelet form, sat under the tree, and continued drawing. I also tried to draw a cube but it was hard because it kept changing shape and appearance so I gave up. During the day, Jack came back several times cleaning up the robot parts, each time praising my drawing and persuading me to watch anime. After some time, I agreed. Mainly because no one in my city is watching it except me and I would finally have someone to talk about my favorite series. I spent the rest of the day drawing, talking to Jack, and playing with the dice, which turned into whatever I asked her to do.

Meanwhile in the xiaolin temple.

- Master Fuuuuung! - out of breath, the Dojo ran into the temple.

- What happened Dojo? - Fung asked

- It's about the Tsung Cube! She chose her master!

- We have to get her here as soon as possible. - Fung said, getting up.

- Why do we have to bring her here? The cube itself turned into a huge shield protecting us all. So she can handle the threats herself.

- You don't understand Dojo. Legends say that the cube chooses the strongest fighter as its master. Besides, even if it were to turn into a shield, it would be small. If you say it was huge, it just shows how much potential this girl has. It has to be unique and our job is to find out why. Come back tomorrow with one of the young monks and convince her to come here with you.

This conversation was overheard by a black bird which flew away afterwards.
