9 hours later.

I feel better.

Several things happened in response. Clay ripped a computer console out of its wall socket and threw it into the lava. Rai landed on it. Katnappe had been holding the Tangle Web Comb, but Kimiko kicked it out of her hand. She then lowered herself into the lava and pulled Raimundo out.

"Thanks." Rai said. Meanwhile, Jack was yelling his lungs out Katnappe.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! KIDNAPPING IS ONE THING, BUT MURDER IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO GET OUT OF A MURDER TRIAL! IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF TROUBLE FOR YOU STEALING ALL THAT STUFF! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MILLION TIMES HARDER TO AVOID A TRIAL WITH MURDER CHARGES! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY BRAINS IN THAT EMPTY SPACE YOU CALL A HEAD?!"

Katnappe looked scared. She really wasn't, but it shortened Jack's rants if he thought that whoever he was ranting at was scared.

"And who built that pit, anyway?" asked Jack.

"It was on your to do list, so I told your robots to build it. I told them to fill it with glue, not lava, so it would trap whoever fell in." Katnappe told him.

Note to self, Jack thought Code robots to my voce pattern. And find out where she got all that glue.

The Chosen Ones were using their escape opportunity to, um, escape. They would have succeeded, but Jack pressed a button and the doors and windows shut. He then sent out a team of elite robots. They were huge and looked more than vaguely threatening.

As they battled, Wuya said, "Now's your chance. Finish them off." she pointed at a laser gun. Jack looked at it, picked it up, and dropped it.

"No." he said. "I'm tired of taking your orders! I'm not going to kill someone just because you said so."

"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?" Wuya looked mad enough to spit fire. And that's exactly what she did. Violet flames erupted from her mouth, effectively destroying the robot Kimiko was fighting, but also encasing part of her foot in metal, securing it to the ground.

"Fine. If you won't listen I'll do this myself." Wuya flew into Jack, and forced him to pickup the gun and fire at Kimiko. Trapped by metal, she could do nothing but await the end.

Raimundo was on the other side of the room when he saw Jack pick up the laser and aim at Kimiko. Rai fought harder, and when Jack put down the laser, he was relieved. But when he saw Wuya take over Jack's body, he felt that Kimiko needed help. With this thought, he knocked the robot's head off and ran to Kimiko. There was a nasty voice in his mind. This voice was his instincts, which he usually listened to, but not this time.

Voice: You won't do this. You're scared. When it comes down to it you're just like everyone else. You're scared to die.

Rai: Maybe so, but I'm gonna die saving my friend.

Voice: It's suicide. It just proves your weakness.

Rai: If I'm weak, I should die. Kimiko is definitely not weak, so she should live.

There was no room for doubts as he threw himself in front of the blast. No room for doubts as he felt the beam go into him. He had done it and this could not be changed.

"Get… out… of… here!" shouted Jack, forcing Wuya from his body. "I can't believe you did that. Our partnership is done!" Jack informed her. "I can't believe that I did that." said Jack, looking at Raimundo's body.

"It wasn't your fault." Katnappe said, putting one arm around his shoulder. They walked away.

"I will kill you all." said Wuya. She needed a body, and dead bodies put up no resistance, so she attempted to enter Raimundo.

"FIRE!"

Wuya was engulfed by flames so hot that they burned her ghostly form. She could not pass through them. Slowly they closed in, destroying her.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Kimiko looked at Rai. He was barely alive.

"Rai. You'll be fine. Please don't die."

Rai laughed. "Don't get all mushy Kimi."

Kimiko knew Rai would die soon and there was something she wanted to do before he was gone forever. She kissed him on the lips. Rai smiled and put his arms around her. They held each other until Raimundo's embrace weakened and he died.

They took Raimundo's body back to the temple, and slowly walked across the grounds.

"Greetings young ones. I trust your mission was successful." said Master Fung joyously. "I sensed your defeat of Wuya. Excellent job." he frowned. "But why are you so sad?" Their faces and Raimundo's lifeless form were answer enough. There mission as Xiaolin Monks was completed, but at the cost of their friend's life.

That is the end. I am sorry that I made it sad. There will be a short sequel where Kimiko reflects on Raimundo's death.
