"Screams of the Siren" is the twenty-seventh episode of Xiaolin Showdown. It was directed by Jeff Allen and written by Brandon Sawyer. It originally aired in the United States on Kids WB on April 16, 2005.

Overview

After a Xiaolin Showdown, the Xiaolin Warriors find the mermaid Dyris frozen in ice. After freeing her, she is attacked by a warrior who was also frozen in ice, named Klofange, who Dyris says is trying to destroy all mermaids and she's the last one in existence. Jack takes Klofange to his headquarters, and the Xiaolin take Dyris to the temple. When the Xiaolin learn that Dyris is an evil siren who wants to flood the world using underwater volcanoes and rule it, they must defeat her in a Xiaolin Showdown to save the Earth.

Synopsis

The episode begins as Omi faces Jack Spicer in a Xiaolin Showdown for the Gills of Hamachi, a Shen Gong Wu that allows the user to breathe underwater. Jack uses the Jetbootsu to walk up an icy cliff, to reach the Gills of Hamachi. Omi uses the Orb of Tornami to destroy the cliff. Jack falls, and Omi claims the Gills of Hamachi. The Xiaolin Warriors see a beautiful girl frozen in the ice. Raimundo said someone should jump in and save her. Raimundo, feeling how freezing the water is, tries suggesting that Clay Bailey jump into the water because he has a lot of body fat. However, Clay holds Raimundo's hair to shove Raimundo into the water to save her because the latter has a floatation device for a head. Raimundo breaks her free and discovers she has a tail. Dyris, the mermaid, explains her situation as the ice continues to crumble revealing an ancient warrior. He sees Dyris and attacks. Clay and Kimiko Tohomiko defend her by using the Glove of Jisaku and the Ju-Ju Flytrap then Raimundo uses the Sword of the Storm to defend him and Dyris. A Jack-Bot grabs the warrior and takes him to Jack. Dyris explains that the warrior, Klofange, is chasing her. Dyris explains her history with Klofange and reveals that she's the last mermaid in existence. In their previous encounter, an ice floe collapsed and trapped the pair. The monks offer her sanctuary at the Xiaolin Temple. Unable to leave the water, Dyris rides in the mouth of Dojo Kanojo Cho alongside Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay after filling it using the Orb of Tornami; Raimundo assures Dyris that Dojo brushes his teeth everyday and Omi gives Dyris the Orb of Tornami to help herself stay submerge inside water.

Kimiko is angry with Omi, Raimundo and Clay and she decides to confront Dyris. Kimiko complains about Dyris’ hypnotizing the boys, but Dyris claims it is what girls are supposed to do. She coaches Kimiko into using her looks to charm Omi into doing her chores for her while Klofange is spying on Dyris via his telescope. At night Omi carries a bucket of water, Raimundo carries sponges, Clay carries fish for Dyris but Kimiko is happily walking. Omi and Raimundo bump into each other. Also, Kimiko and Clay bump into each other. Omi says that he is bring more for the tub but Raimundo says that he'll take care of that because he is taking her a couple of sponges anyway while Clay thought that the little lady could use a late night fish snack but Kimiko asks if Omi, Raimundo and Clay feel weirdness at the temple besides her. Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay turn around to see the roof is on fire as Jack Spicer attacks the Xiaolin Temple with his Jack-Bots head on which Kimiko and Clay realize. Klofange runs along the roofs to Dyris' pool. Omi, Raimundo and Clay argue about saving her, leaving Kimiko to fight the Jack-Bots. While running, Klofange traps Omi inside a net, entangles Raimundo, and arrives at the pool, to encounter Clay. Klofange dispatches Clay only to realize that Dyris has disappeared. Then Kimiko, Clay and Raimundo carrying Klofange's net while Omi is inside realize that Dyris left the pool.

Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay are confused about her disappearance because Dyris is unable to walk. Klofange reveals that mermaids are actually monsters when they leave the water. Jack realizes that he has been unintentionally aiding the wrong side. Klofange explains Dyris' plan to flood the world, so she can rule over it. Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay, Dojo and Klofange head to the Shen Gong Wu vault to discover that Dyris has stolen the Tunnel Armadillo, the Golden Tiger Claws and the Black Beetle needed to set off volcanoes across the globe to melt the ice in order to flood the world and rule it. Omi asks "how did she know about the vault" and Clay says that he may or may not mentioned it to her then he said that she never saw one and asks if there was a monk guarding the vault. Dyris got Kimiko to convince one of the boys to hand scrub all the bathrooms and had Raimundo fill the tunnel armadillo with seawater despite being a rebel prank. Then Omi says now it all makes sense because Dyris wanted to know which Shen Gong Wu would have the power to create giant volcanoes to melt the polar icecaps and flood the world as Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay and Klofange scolded Omi for telling the evil mermaid as Omi adds that he assume that it was . Klofange asks if Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay and Dojo are the good guys. Kimiko says that Dyris still would have to drill close enough to the earth's core to set off an earthquake despite no one would withstand the heat. Dyris had even tricked Dojo into revealing the location of the Black Beetle, a Shen Gong Wu that allows the user to withstand extreme heat. Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay, Dojo and Klofange, set off to find it before Dyris does.

In the middle of the Atlantic, Omi uses the Gills of Hamachi to go underwater to find it. He suddenly grows fins, gills, and his skin turns green, much to Kimiko's disgust. He dives down, and sees a sunken ship. He grabs the Black Beetle and is about to swim to the surface when he sees Dyris. She takes advantage of his gullibility, and takes the Gills of Hamachi from him. Omi, now unable to breathe underwater, drops the Beetle and swims for the far-away surface, while Dyris laughs and swims away. Omi knows that he cannot make it, and suddenly Omi is taken into the Silver Manta Ray, with Raimundo piloting it then Klofange says "that's your right" and Raimundo says "she's heading for the Armadillo". Kimiko asks if Omi has the Black Beetle and he told her that he doesn't have it. Raimundo reprimands Omi for losing the Gills of Hamachi to Dyris then Omi says that won't be defeated by a fish. Suddenly, the Silver Manta Ray is under attack, by Jack, and his new Shark-bots. Jack tells Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay, Dojo and Klofange "guess who's back on the right side and by that I mean, the wrong side. Jack also says "Uh, I'm with the evil mermaid". Kimiko tells Jack that Dyris is a monster because she is trying to flood the earth. Jack says "so?" and she's quirky" then he tells his Shark-bots to attack. Omi goes down to find Dyris, while Jack attacks in his squid sub, along with his Shark-bots. Clay suddenly has an idea, and uses the Glove of Jisaku but Raimundo disagrees by saying yeah, a bad idea because the Shark-bots are heading to the Silver Manta Ray and then Clay uses the Reversing Mirror to move the Shark-bots back towards to Jack's sub. Jack ejects just as the Shark-bots tear the submarine to pieces.

Meanwhile, Omi finds Dyris, and takes the Gills back, despite being tricked again. Suddenly, the Black Beetle appears. Both put their hands on it, and that means a Xiaolin Showdown. Omi sets the showdown as "get the other person's Shen Gong Wu," but then he adds to have it on dry land. Klofange rebukes Omi for leading her out of the water, since that is when she would turn into her true monstrous form. Omi asks how bad could she be, and hears a loud noise. He turns around and gets his answer. Dyris is no longer a beautiful mermaid, but now a hideous monster, 1000 times bigger than Omi. Omi puts on the Gills of Hamachi and tries to take a deep breath, and quickly learns it is impossible to breathe air while wearing the Gills. Clay asks "why didn't she grab the Gills she had the chance but Klofange says "she's a predator" "likes to play with her food first". Dyris holds Omi like a fish as he squirms around, desperately looking at the pool of water below. Suddenly, without warning, Omi takes off the Gills, and uses his power with water to make the water below jump up in a wave and hit Dyris, shocking her and turning her back into a mermaid. Omi leaps forward, grabs the Fist of Tebigong, and kisses Dyris on the nose. Then Omi says girls are pretty easy to fool which makes Kimiko angry at him. Klofange tells Omi that he made a fine beast hunter. Omi tells Klofange that he is a noble Xiaolin dragon. Dyris, unhappy about her loss, attempts to attack again but Klofange pushes Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay back away from him and the mermaid. Klofange restrains Dyris with a rope from his staff as the entire ice floe starts to collapse but Omi runs to Klofange but the warrior tells "you know how it must end for me and the beast". Klofange urge Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay to run back to the Silver Manta Ray and they do, with reluctance. As Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay about to leave the four of them are feeling down when they see Klofange about to be trapped inside the ice alongside Dyris, the ice floe collapses as Omi bids farewell to the brave warrior then Raimundo drives the Silver Manta Ray. Dyris and Klofange, trapped in the collapsing ice, are once again bound together in ice.

Meanwhile, Jack's on his broken squid sub, bobbing on the surface. Tired of Jack's whining, Wuya leaves him alone to be stranded then Jack says it's finally happening. Suddenly, Kimiko asks Jack "need a lift" when she, Omi, Raimundo, Clay and Dojo pull up, offering to take Jack back alongside them. He thanks Kimiko with tears in his eyes as he climbs on one of the wings as Omi giggles. Clay uses his lasso to tie around Jack to drag him behind the Silver Manta Ray because Kimiko didn't say that Jack could ride alongside her, Omi, Raimundo, Clay and Dojo.

Climb the Icy Mountain

The showdown has already started when the episode begins. Omi is dazed on a platform of ice, as Jack skillfully skates around him. Jack and Omi both jump from ice platform to ice platform, going toward the prize Shen Gong Wu, the Gills of Hamachi, Omi having a little more trouble than Jack. Jack uses the Jetbootsu to easily climb the glacier where the Gills of Hamachi rest, while Omi is stuck at the bottom. Frustrated, Omi hits the glacier, creating a crack. This crack gives Omi inspiration, and he uses the Orb of Tornami in the crack, rapidly expanding it. This eventually causes the whole glacier to collapse, and Omi jumps up on the falling pieces to get to the Gills before Jack, winning the showdown for Omi.

Steal the Wu

Omi and Dyris both touch the Black Beetle at the same time, starting a Xiaolin Showdown. Omi wagers his Gills of Hamachi against Dyris' Fist of Tebigong. The game is Steal the Wu, and Omi states they will play it on dry land. Dyris gets out of the water and turns into her true monstrous form.

When the showdown starts, Dyris starts off by flicking Omi against the wall with the Fist of Tebigong. Omi tries to slide forward, but Dyris smashes the Fist of Tebigong into the ground, sending him flying. The Gills of Hamachi go flying and land on his throat. He activates them, only to realize he can't breathe. Dyris picks up Omi, and is about to grab the Gills from his neck when Omi takes them off and sends a geyser of water at Dyris. He keeps the water pointing at her, causing her to stay in her mermaid form, and takes the Fist of Tebigong from her, winning the showdown.
