Welcome to IDEAcember!
Wait, you don't know what that is? Okay I'll tell you. It's a new challenge I made where each December, I come up with a new idea for a fanfiction. It's a great way to break out of writer's block, and I can get some of my ideas out of my head.
For this IDEAcember, I plan on using this idea:
The Shen Gong Wu were ancient artifacts protected and used for generations. and when there were Shen Gong Wu, there were Xiaolin Guardians, Protectors of the sacred artifacts. now what if i told you that the newest batch of Xiaolin Guardians were attending Beacon?
Basically, it's just Jaune and my Ocs using shen gong wu for adventures and shenanigans. please review if you want me to continue this story
if you remember what Xiaolin showdown was, then you had an awesome childhood. this takes place in season !, and barely stays in between the two series cannons.
without further adieu Let the torture (story) begin!
(Jaune's POV)
this is getting ridiculous...
everything finally came full circle...
me being separated by my fellow Xiaolin Dragons, nearly avoided being exploded, befriended little red riding hood, some other crap i couldn't remember due to sleep deprivation...
being launched into a forest of evil spirits they call "Grimm", nearly get skewered, then i was partnered up by the girl who nearly skewered me...
we found red hood and a white princess in a lover's spat, they saw us and we kept on going together...
am i boring you? well this is where it gets weird...
apparently, this" aura" was required to be a hunter or something, i don't know, i was assigned to find the Shen Gong Wu hidden around the world, not become this "huntsman" nonsense... *sigh* where's Dojo when you need him?
so after Pyrrha, the girl i partnered up with, unlocked my aura, we kept going, but ruby brought along something, and that's where we shall start.
(3rd POV)
"what's that Rubes?" Jaune asked. looking at the long stick that Ruby poorly tried to hide behind her.
"um..." she stalled.
"Don't tell me you're picking random things on the ground." Weiss groaned.
"hey! sure it's random, but i don't think it belongs here!" Ruby said, this gained jaune's attention.
"what do you mean?" Pyrrha questioned.
"remember when i tripped over something and made jaune fall towards that branch you pulled?"
"...yeah? what of it?" Jaune said.
" well i tripped over this wierd stick..." Ruby started, showing the other three the brown wooden staff with a bronze guard and a carving of a monkey at the top.
"and i thought that this is no ordinary stick, so i wanted to bring it to someone who can... are you okay jaune?" Ruby finished, looking at the now visibly vibrating male.
"...H-how... How did you find the Monkey Staff!?" Jaune shouted.
"the what?" Ruby said.
"You were right about one thing ruby..." Jaune said, snatching the stick from Ruby in a blink of an eye. "this..." he pointed to the staff. "isn't ordinary. it's an ancient relic passed down from way back then. and to make things even more bad; it's dangerous if used incorrectly!" Jaune finished.
"well..." Ruby started, before snatching the stick back. "I got it first! Finder's Keepers!"
"Ruby listen to me! that object is very dangerous!"
"and how is that monkey stick "dangerous" exactly?!" Weiss shouted.
"It's called the MONKEY STAFF!" Jaune screamed.
"yeah! it's my Monkey Staff!" Ruby screamed, suddenly the staff started to glow red, then flashed in a red light.
"NO!" Jaune screamed.
when the light died down, ruby was the only thing seen afterwards, seemingly unfazed. however...
"ugh... what happened? and why does my butt feel funny?" Ruby asked, not noticing the bewildered looks she was getting from the two girls, and the annoyed look from the only male.
"Ruby, You can't say its name aloud. that activates it." Jaune said.
"wait where's my stick?!" Ruby looked around, still failing to notice the blackish red tail swishing around at her backside.
"Ruby, you merged with the staff."
"Huh?" all three girls said, now turning to the blonde.
"the Monkey Staff grants you the abilities of a monkey; balance, agility, strength, the ability to command other monkeys, and a prehensile tail..." Jaune answered.
"I HAVE A TAIL!?" Ruby screeched, turning and grabbing said appendage, making sure that it was real.
"Yes! now deactivate it, and hand it over before it-"
Jaune didn't get to finish since he was drowned out by and inhumane screech. the last thing he saw was a giant golden barb thing crashing at his side, along with three shout of his name.
(Jaune's POV)
i can't believe it... the first Shen gong Wu I find, and Ruby found it before me. and it had to be the Monkey Staff of all things...
*sigh* i'll just have to get it the old fashioned way, and i better soon before she completely looses control. i just wish i packed a flight based Wu.
i could've gone with the Longi Kite, or the Golden Tiger Claws. Hell i would've picked the Manchurian Musca, but Nope, i decided to bring the least baggage, which left me with the Mantis Flip Coin, Ring of the Nine Dragons, and the Changing Chopsticks.
On the bright side, i found where we're suppose to go. and apparently i'm not the only one to find it. there are some other people at the site.
"JAUNE!" Ruby screamed. wait how did she!?
now that i see it, i can scarcely see Ruby Running, jumping and swinging from tree to tree, Weiss and Pyrrha comically latching onto the monkey girl for dear life, and the pair of giant scorpions trying to follow them. and from the looks of things ruby seems to be catching up... OH GOD!
(3rd POV)
"Ruby LOOK OUT!" Jaune screamed. Everyone else looked up to find everything going by too fast.
Jaune falling a bit too fast, a giant bundle of red, black, and white crashing into Jaune, the now even bigger clump of people rolling in their direction, and the violet, spiky haired male pointing a big ruby at the group.
"Ruby Of Ramses!" the Violet haired male shouting, releasing a red beam of light that somehow stopped the four person bundle from crashing into anyone else.
"thanks Jet... Wait GUYS!? There you are!" Jaune screamed at the four walking towards them.
the first person, the man named Jet, as stated before hand spiky violet hair that went down to his waist, a white jacket covering his long sleeve black shirt, black baggy cargo pants and boots completing his ensemble with a pair of black rimmed glasses.
the second person, the tallest male of the group, had long black hair with silver tips at the end, a white scarf, a long black coat that reached his thighs, a black and blue striped shirt, and indigo baggy pants covering his shoes. the only thing else interesting about his features would be the wrappings along the entirety of his right arm.
the third one was pretty much a female variant of Jaune. long blonde hair that reaches down to her hips, a pink long sleeve jacket with a white skirt, along with different length pink stockings and ret slippers.
the fourth one could've been mistaken for an adult...witch. a rainbow colored hat and a short blood red jacket along with a short orange and purple shirt, exposing both midriff and cleavage, along with a blue pack along her hip, green earrings, and a black and white skirt that stops and the top of the knees. the most interesting features would be the blackish red fox ears and tail.
"well hello to you too..." Jet mumbled.
"WHERE WERE YOU ALL!?" Jaune screeched.
"we got separated by numerous Wu readings around her- is that the Monkey Staff?" the fox witch paused pointing towards Ruby, who was still in her monkey state.
"we'll talk later... where's the things we're supposed to be looking for?" Jaune asked.
"the chess pieces over there." Rose pointed to the only pieces left: a rook and a knight piece respectively.
"fine." jaune walked up, grabbed both pieces, and tossed the knight to Ruby.
"heads up!" he shouted. Ruby comically fumbled with the piece for a few seconds before finally grabbing it.
"now that we have what we need, let's get-"
RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRR
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Jaune, Rose, Bass, and Ruby screamed altogether. looking up, most of the group, sans Jaune, Ruby, and a few others, stared in horror as a pair of deathstalkers erupted from the forest foilage, breaking trees left and right.
to make things even more insane, the deathstalkers weren't the only pair that was attracted towards the group.
"are those NEVERMORES!?" Weiss screamed.
surely enough, there were two gigantic black birds circling them like the retarded vultures they were.
"RUN!" i screamed.
"Ozpin..." Glynda goodwitch started, turning towards the silver haired associate.
"yes Glynda?" he answered.
"what exactly am i seeing here? i'm not the only one who's seeing this, right?"
"i see it too Glynda... rather odd how some chopsticks shrunk that-" "Ozpin that's noty what i'm getting at!?" she screeched.
"then what, pray tell, do you see?"
"these kids are using.,.. i don't believe this... did that ball shoot a torrent of water? and what is with that- DID MR ARC DUPLICATE HIMSELF!?"
"glynda please..."
"i'm sorry sir, but i can't believe something like thi-"
"shush Glynda... i believe i have a clue as to what's going on, but i need to talk to Mr. Arc and his friends about it later." he finished.
"b-but-"
"i believe that you need some time to cool off, why don't you head back to the school while i finish things up here hmm?"
"I...Y-you...*sigh* fine..." and with that, Glynda Goodwitch walked back towards the campus, leaving Ozpin to sort his thoughts about the situation whilst peering at the image of Ruby Rose beheading a nevermore.
"it's been a while since i've seen the Shen Gong Wu... don't disappoint me now, Xiaolin Guardians..."
"finally! we're done!" Jaune said as he walked towards the group, all still peering at the cliff where Ruby landed at.
"hey JJ, maybe we should get the Monkey Staff before-" Rose started before a shrill, ear splitting screeched erupted from the top.
"RUBY!" Yang screamed.
"Jet, NOW!" Bass yelled.
"on it! Ruby of Ramses!" Jet shouted, covering everyone in a red light, before levitating up towards the top of the cliff. halfway through however...
"what are you doing!?" Weiss said looking at Jaune with a banana appearing out of nowhere.
peeling the banana, before sticking the changing chopsticks in it, jaune replied. " setting bait. there's only one way to save Ruby now, but i didn't think that she'd lose control that easily..."
"where'd you get the banana anyway?" the black haired green schemed male asked.
"thanks to Sebastian over there... hey wait..." Jaune said pointing to Sebastian pulling out a chocolate bar from a ripped portal from the Golden Tiger Claws.
"BASS!" Jaune shouted. said boy looked at the miffed male.
"I got dibs, so i do what i want with it. besides, we're at the top anyway." surely enough they were at the top, and the sight before them made most of them go wide eyed.
there in front of them was Ruby Rose... well at least what looks like Ruby... most of the skin that could be seen was covered in blackish red fur, her tail a lot more sleek, and she overall looked more monkey than girl. everyone was silent, but jaune walked forward, waving the banana in his hand to gain "Ruby's" attention.
"hey Ruby, i got a tasty treat for you. that's it just a little bit closer..." Jaune said, coaxing the little red monkey girl. when she grabbed the banana, she touched the Changing Chopsticks as well, and the next words confused most of the group, save for four who were smirking in anticipation...
"Ruby Rose, I challenge You to a Xiaolin Showdown!"
i'll comb through it later...
some quick things i need to say...
shen Gong wu: Fuck Xiaolin Chronicles. the only redeeming quality was the new shen Gong WU, and not the shitty Remakes of the old wu neither. so i'll add them to the Wu count. also, i plan on having 199 Shen Gong Wu in total... i came up with a few, but i need you all to review to me your own Shen Gong Wu for this fic.
showdowns: there's 2 types in here: original showdowns and Cannon showdowns. Original showdowns will be completely made up, including what the challenge is, the wu wagered, and who'll be participating. the Cannon showdowns will be showdowns based off the show. review your idea for a showdown as well including the challenge, participants, and the wagered shen gong wu...
sorry if this was a bit rushed, but review and like if you want me to continue...
