Time Slip (Xiaolin Showdown Fanfic - Original Version)

Electrocute

Chase and Kimiko were out cold and in a prisoner area with the village girl that Wuya had used to get the Shen Gong Wu that she wanted. The bars were made of stone, which seemed to be Wuya's element. Chase was the first to come to, his head hurting from the hit to the back of the head and from the fact that the village girl was sobbing very hard.

"What ever is the matter with you?" the boy asked. This caused the girl to stop crying and to look at him, an odd look on her face.

"Oh… you're awake… I thought you would never wake up. Now you can rescue me and get me away from that demon woman," the girl eyes teared up.

"What demon woman… you mean Wuya?" Kimiko glared as she sat up. She glared at the girl.

"She… has a name!" the village girl gasped.

"Everything has a name, even if that name is unknown… words of wisdom from Master Dashi himself," Chase commented.

"But… how do you know her name?" the girl asked.

"Let's just say… my small little band of friends are probably going to be leaving soon… she follows us around and makes it so that we can't stay anywhere long," Chase sighed.

"My father… if you rescue me will treat all of you like heroes," came the mummer.

"I don't care about being treated like a hero. I just wanted to be treated like an equal," Chase muttered. "I don't care about what ever titles or gratitudes your father can or will bestow on me!"

"You're not going to rescue me," came the sob.

"Of course we are… but not because Chase likes you or wants something out of it… but because it is the right thing to do," Kimiko shook her head at the girl.

Chase raised his eyebrows then whispered into Kimiko's ear. "What if I don't want to rescue her? She's annoying!"

"What would master Dashi say about that?" the girl grinned ear to ear at him and he backed down, scowling as he did so.

"Anyways… how are we to escape?" the girl's face was tear streaked.

"Well… since we're obviously not going to be around this area much longer…" Kimiko started, then aimed her hands. "Fire!"

The girl's eyes went wide as the earth crumbled. Chase however narrowed his eyes. "For some reason… this is way too easy… way, way to easy…"

Gaun and Dashi had quickly found the trail thanks to Dojo's delicate and very accurate sence of smell. Thus they travled towards the place where the two munks had headed after the girl. Dashi frowned as he came to the spot where they had been basically ambushed. "This isn't good… Wuya has both of them and the village girl."

"First, how do you know that it is Wuya, second… Chase is tough and wouldn't easily be caught,"

"Gaun… have you forgotten the little factor that has happened to come into our lives recently that has become to the youngest of you Dragons… a distraction…" the Master Dragon sighed.

"You mean Lian-Li?" the boy pondered. "I've never seen him like that before."

"Think of it this way… he's never had the chance to really act like a young man… he's focused on his training fully… then right into his training is thrust a girl… at least this shouldn't distract him when he gets older… from what the girl tells me…"

"All right… please tell me that the girl isn't some ancestor of his… because then that would be really freaky!" Gaun saw the Master Dragon give him a look saying this wasn't so.

Chase moved against the wall and led the two girls out of the cavern. It was then that he heard a tut-tutting and he turned in the direction of Wuya. He grumbled, "I knew it was to easy."

"As you should have realized…" the hag clicked her tounge. "My you are a fisty one… I wonder which one you would protect… your new friend… or the girl. It's always been known to me… your rather slow at certain things."

"Ching isn't dumb…" Kimiko muttered. "You are hag."

"Dashi Bunny!" Wuya changed into lightning and launched at Kimiko. Kimiko was going to push herself and the other girl out of the way when she heard a noise from in front of her of pain. She then watched as Chase crumbled to the ground.

"Chase… you idiot!" Kimiko snapped, just as Dashi and Gaun came in. Dashi grabbed Wuya's wrist as she changed back and forced her to drop the Wu.

"I highly suggest you leave now… this is one of the times I am not in a humerous mood…" Dashi growled. The woman packed away and quickly disappeared. Dashi hurried over to where Chase and Kimiko were. He opened his mouth to say something, when the girl wailed.

"He's dead," came the sob.

"No…" Kimiko glanced at her hands. "If he was dead, I would disappear… I'm quite sure of it…"

"Lian-Li… he isn't breathing!" Gaun spoke out. He watched as Kimiko bent her head down to listen to the boys chest rise and fall and heard nothing. She then felt his neck for a pulse. "What are you doing!?"

"Good thing my father made me take first aid and I know CPR," Kimiko muttered. She placed her two small hands on Chase's chest and pushed, hard. She heard the sound of his ribs moving in a way that told her she was putting enough force on it. After a few seconds, she opened his mouth and breathed air into his lungs. She reapeated the steps a few times and then suddenly Chase took in a breath of air on his own.

"Thank you child," Master Dashi smiled at her and scooped Chase into his arms.

"Why didn't she recognize me… the old hag… the stupid ghost…" Kimiko muttered.

"We need to get back to the place of our living," Gaun placed a hand on each girls shoulder, the village girl still sobbing steadily.
