"Putain l'enfer..." Jack swore in French as he realised what had happened. He'd experienced it plenty of times in the past to automatically know what was going on, even without having to look over at the 'battle' going on behind him, but he didn't understand why he and his family had been pulled into it.

"Jackie, what 'ze 'ell is going on?!" Fleur demanded in English as she sprung to her feet, noticing how calm Jack was compared to everyone else.

"Xiaolin Showdown" he shrugged, following the rest of the groups example and climbed to his feet. Maybe they had been transported because he had participated in so many Showdowns before, its not like him being taken along to watch hadn't happened before, sometimes it just happened even if he hadn't touched the Wu. His family probably taken to because they were all witches and since the Shen Gong Wu was technically magic maybe it automatically assumed they were all a part of the Showdown.

I really shouldn't question the reasoning behind why an ancient magical artefact does things or if it even has conscious enough thought to make decisions...' he decided, turning his attention back to the four scared women.

"And what is a 'Xiaolin Showdown', young ma-" Lucy began tensely only to be interrupted by a shout from another platform not too far away.

"Jack Spicer!" Omi cried, looking away from the Showdown between Raimundo and Wuya as he spotted the teen's brightly coloured hair "You have decided to join us in the hunt for Shen Gong Wu once again, yes?!"

"No, you little Cheese Ball!" Jack scolded, turning to face the Monks, not even bothering to glance over at the battle as an explosion went off and the sound of Wuya's manic laughter filtered through the void "We were minding our own God-Damn business when we got pulled in!"

"... There's no way that's Jack" Kimiko muttered in disbelief as she looked at the Goth with a new appreciation, nobody changes so much in only a couple months. The strange thing was that the Japanese teen couldn't actually tell what had changed about the boy other than that he just seemed more attractive to her.

" 'Ah agree" Clay nodded speechlessly while the smallest Monk merely gave them a weird look.

"Ofcourse it is Jack Spicer! He is right here!"

"Jackson Spicer! You tell me where we are right this second!" Lucy ordered, pinching her son's ear while her sister gathered her own daughters closer, away from the endless abyss beyond the edges of their floating platform.

"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Jack whined as his mom pulled his ear sharply "It's sort of like a Wizards duel! But for an ancient Chinese magical objects! Now let go!"

"A Wizards Duel..." Lucy muttered in disbelief, glancing over at the teens she had met before, the one's she'd thought were Muggles, and then at the battle that seemed to be an exploding game of hop-scotch. The two players having to jump from one floating stone to another while avoiding each others attacks "This is what you've been doing for the last couple years!?"
