Time Slip (Xiaolin Showdown Fanfic - Original Version)

Jack's to Blame

When Kimiko had disappeared through the portal, who were the other Xiaolin monks to blame except one Jack Spicer? He was the one who had created that obnoxious gun in the first place. The gun was seemingly was yet another one of Jack's haywire inventions with no true use or purpose except to annoy people and cause problems.

Of course, Jack had won the Showdown completely by fluke, so he had taken off using his heliopad, not to mention leaving as he cackled with glee in that obnoxious way that he did. He even commented on how he was the ultimate evil having beaten Chase and Hannibal Roy Bean in a previous showdown and now the monks and Katnappe.

"But it was Kimiko… not Jack," Omi pushed his lips together in annoyance.

"Omi… Jack doesn't know that, remember?" Rai shook his head.

"Oh…" Omi sighed. "How are we to explain this to Master Fung that Kimiko has disappeared?"

"We don't," Rai started, "At least not yet. We're going to try to handle this without help first and see if we can do it on our own. Then well tell him."

"Something about the Silver Lion Claws," Dojo muttered. "Around the time we had to destroy them…"

"What about it partner?"

Dojo pulled out his small book and glasses. "My memo says 'Ching & Lian-Li… cute couple.' It just doesn't jog my memory… but it should have… or so I thought…"

"Any thing else?" Omi asked.

"Ahh… yes. Master Dashi says that this should be a good mind jogger too… too remind Lian-Li to punish me again for something I said to her… though I can't remember what I said to her or who she is… no… it deals with Ching… who's good grief… who was Ching… I can't remember who any of these people were,"

"Some mind jogger," Rai rolled his eyes. "What we need is a plan of action. Of course, typically with Jack… none is needed."

"Jack" Clay rubbed the back of his head.

"See… Jack's invention was involved, thus Jack is to blame for this trouble," Omi commented trying his best to seem wise about the whole situation.

"Well, that makes complete sense," Dojo put his notebook and glasses back. "It also makes more sense then what I wrote."

"But isn't the Silber Lion Claw's important?" Clay asked.

"Let's see… it said also that the Silver Lion Claws malfunctioned on Ching… I am guessing that is why they were destroyed… they were too unpredictable,"

"Who's Ching?" Omi asked.

"I told you Omi, I don't rightly remember," Dojo sighed. "Let's head to Jack's place and hope that we can find Kimiko."
