Xiaolin Showdown

Xiaolin Showdown

Young monks,

I see you have time to play

but you've not yet

completed your chores.

Yeah, about that.

We figured, now that

we're Wudai Warriors

we'd save our strength

for more important things.

You know, like saving the world

from evil and stuff.

If you are to become

dragons one day

you must continue your efforts.

Now the hard work begins.

What a bummer? I thought

we were done with the hard work.

What is that fascinating

yet annoying sound?

The singing old lady

is an omen.

Follow me and let us learn

what the omen means.

I'm guessing it's an omen

that someone's plum tone deaf.

Dojo, what are you doing?

We seem to have a few Wu

missing in action.

So I put together a new system

to keep track of them.

One big mess.

Dojo, have you seen the

"Sacred book of Omens?"

Yeah, it's right here.

I was using it

to level the table.

Thank you, Dojo Kanojo Cho.

I guess, I can use

the Holy Scroll instead.

So, what omen

are you looking for?

There's some old fossil lady

who can't carry a tune outside.

Oh, yeah, I remember

the old singing crackpot.

It means, the coming

of the bird of paradise.

Dojo is correct.

"Whoever finds

the bird of paradise

will receive powers

like they've never known."

Oh, I must have

the bird of paradise.

Powers like I've never known.

Ah!

Young monks,

now that you are Wudai Warriors

you are ready

for your first Wudai quest.

k*ller!

Anything beats doing chores.

puff

You can do your chores

when you return.

You are to search

for the bird of paradise

but finding it

will not be easy.

'It is hidden

in the land of Nowhere'

'"beyond the valley

of Somewhere'

'but not as far as the jungle of

Neither Here Nor There."'

Hey, isn't the land of Nowhere

run by Chase Young?

That's one scary neighborhood.

No problemo!

Let's get down to the vault

and load up on Wu.

Not so fast.

From now on, you've to checkout

your Wu using your Wu card.

'It's part of

what I like to call'

'my Dewey Dojo system.'

I'm afraid that no Shen Gong

Wumaybe used on the quest.

You'll rely only on your

Wudai elements.

We can't bring

anything with us?

You'll take along this leaf.

It looks like a mighty fine leaf

but I hardly think

it's gonna make evil

shake in its boots.

'You'll float the leaf

on water.'

'And it will point the way.'

Woohoohoo! A magical leaf.

I'm most impressed.

You must remain focused.

If the dark forces of evil

were to learn

of the bird of paradise..

'the quest

could be compromised.'

'You can count on us.'

'Nothing will get past

these lips'

'not even sweet and spicy

kung pow chicken.'

The bird of paradise.

If anyone deserves

the bird, it's me.

I'll finally be able to knock

off Chase Young as top evil dog.

He won't even know

what hit him.

roar

I've heard

of the bird of paradise.

But I understand that no one

has ever actually seen it.

Some say that the power

of the bird can crush mountains.

Dry up the seas,

even split the world in two.

But then, that could be

water-cooler talk.

The bird could be most dangerous

in the wrong hands.

- Our hands.

- Wuya.

I like the way you think.

I'm most pleased.

You could show your pleasure

by giving me Shen Gong Wu.

I said, I was pleased.

Not crazy.

Maybe we should check with leafy

to make sure we're on track.

If you would be so kind.

Leafy?

Kind, strangers.

Would you help an old lady

cross the river?

I'm afraid

my feet aren't very steady.

- Sure, no problem.

- Remember!

Remember what Master Fung

told us about remaining focused.

Oh, my! Help me!

Help me!

He-e-elp!

Yah! Yah!

Ha!

Oh! Oh.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much

for your kindness.

There must be something

I can do to repay you.

Well, you could stop

doing that.

Ha! Hey, look.

It's that no good

snake in the grass Spicer.

Looks like, I'm on an evil

egg roll here, baby.

The Jacky is backy.

Soon the bird of paradise

will be mine.

And there's nothing

that can stop me.

'Whoa! Hoo!

I'm okay.'

This is all my fault.

If only I had stay focused.

No, Raimundo,

your heart was in the place

where it was supposed to be.

You did the honorable thing.

Without the leaf

the Xiaolin monks are finished.

Still, they're

quite resourceful.

I will not under estimate

them as I've done in the past.

Guys, I have this

creepy feeling..

like we're being watched.

Yes! I do too.

And I've a pretty good idea

by whom.

Okay, little Mr. Leaf.

'Point the way.'

You sure?

Okay, you're the man.

Looks like evil boy genius

is also evil boy litter bug.

sniff sniff

Um-mh. Um-mh.

Can't be more than

a few minutes old.

We're not far behind.

Where are we?

It's the Canyon Of Doom

And Agony.

'I've never heard of

such a place.'

Well, the names kinda new.

It used to be called

Hummingbird Acres

but it attracted

too many looky-loos.

I believe,

it's time that we make

the monks tripinteresting.

'Wait, wait one sec.

I don't wanna miss anything.'

Not having a body for so long

I forgot about those things

that come up every now and then.

Are we ready?

Yes, please carry on.

zap

rumble rumble rumble

crash crash crash

You got me into this.

Do something.

Do something.

thwack

thump

Try as you wish, Chase Young,

but you will not stop us

'from reaching

the bird of paradise.'

Yeah, but I gotta give

him an "A" for effort so far.

Hey, guys, hurry,

I think I found a way out.

Hoo-ey! That's the second

biggest tongue I ever did see.

It appears that it is time

for us to kick some tongue.

You said a mouthful.

'Wudai Iron Palm.'

I say, we mosey on outta here

while the mosin' is good.

Look out, everybody.

- What do we do now?

- Let me handle this, partner.

It's my element that's makin'

all of the ruckus.

Wudai Crater Earth.

Hoo-ey!

Whoa!

Clay, I never knew you had

such wondrous powers.

Yeah, you and me both.

No!

A whole evil Canyon destroyed

and not one monk buried alive.

Not to worry, the monks still

have plenty of time

before meeting

with certain failure.

Phew.

slurp

I never knew,

how following Jack

could work up

a fellas appetite.

Hey, the trail stops here.

Most peculiar.

Jack Spicer, I demand

that you stop hiding in the tree

and turn over the leaf

at once.

I'm not hiding.

I'm being held prisoner.

Held prisoner by what?

A nest of baby birdies?

roar roar

You okay there, partner?

I-I've been better.

Whoa!

Thank you, Kimiko,

for your help.

But I'm all good now.

I think it's time

to fight fire with fire.

Wudai Mars Fire.

Hey-uh..

Whoa!

Way to go, fire girl.

'Help!'

You've got to save me.

And exactly why is that?

Um, because we mean

so much to each other.

Then you must promise

to turn over the leaf

and to turn a new leaf over.

Okay, okay, you got a deal.

Do something!

Wudai Neptune Water.

Wudai Star Wind.

Yes, yes, I'm saved.

And the leaf is still mine.

thwack

Nice catch.

Well, I think,

my work here is done.

Water.

Oh, magical leaf, which way?

'"The Bone Yard."'

Sounds like a nice,

quiet place.

Well, let's make this fast,

I wouldn't wanna wind up

as part of the landscape.

Look, it is

the bird of paradise.

Uh, hello, are you

the bird of paradise?

Bird of paradise.

Bird of paradise.

Yes! I knew it.

We've found the mystical bird.

And why is it,

that you're so interested

in this bird of paradise?

Because we are Wudai Warriors

and that's all you need to know.

Um, that's about all

that we do know.

The land of Nowhere

is my domain.

Therefore, the bird of paradise

belongs to me.

No, the bird of paradise

is ours.

We'll see about that,

little one.

zap

Talk about crummy timing.

Oh, good,

I have been looking for you.

I've come to payback

your kindness.

roar

Gotta say, I can hardly

blame the critter.

We must focus on our new

and improved Wudai powers.

And we must do it together.

Wudai Orion Formation.

Wudai Crater Earth.

'Wind.'

'Fire.'

'Water.'

How did they learn

to do that?

Apparently their Wudai powers

have taken hold.

Check it and weep, baby.

I knew, I'd get the bird.

It appears that despite

your impressive performance

'you have lost.'

We maybe outside,

but we are not down.

I think, he means,

we are down but not out.

'Oh, you all look so sad.'

I hope, I didn't

cause you any trouble.

No, it's not you, it's us.

I'm afraid,

we messed up big time.

Quite the opposite.

You see, I am

the bird of paradise.

But we thought

the bird of paradise

would be a regular bird.

I have come to payback

your kindness by giving

'each of you

the greatest gift of all.'

Farm equipment?

In rescuing me,

I've given you the gift

of discovering

your finest qualities.

'Courage, loyalty,

strength and kindness.'

Those are the greatest gifts

you could ever receive.

Yeah, even if

they don't cost anything.

That was the purpose

of the quest.

To arm you with

the greatest powers of all.

The power that comes from within

that can never be taken away.

Well, she's one

mighty impressive bird.

But she couldn't

carry a tune in a bucket.

You did well, young monks.

Your one mistake

was to assume that

the bird of paradise

was a bird.

'Things are not always

what they appear to be.'

The evil that you

will soon encounter

will not always

be so easy to recognize.

That is why

you must remain cautious

and learn to see

with your minds

and not just your eyes.

Master Fung worked his way

through monk school doing magic.

I once saw him

make all of China disappear.

It's true.

'Okay, bird of paradise or

whatever you call yourself.'

Out with it. Exactly

what makes you so powerful?

What makes you so powerful?

Hey, I'll ask the questions

around here.

I'll ask the questions

around here.

Oh, yeah, tough guy?

Well, if you don't

tell me what I wanna know

I'll, uh, I'll hurt you

until you cry.

I-I-I'll hurt you

until you cry.

What? No, no, no.

You-you're bluffing.

- You're bluffing.

- Okay, okay, maybe I'm.

Just-just take it easy.

Just take it easy!

Just take it easy!

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

I'll tell you whatever

you want, sir, please!

'Don't make me cry!'
