Flipping through the air, Shifu was mindfully watching his enemy and their movement. Fending off the bandits, he turned to face where Po was. The Giant Panda seemed to have everything under control. The rest of the five were locked away in the cage that their foe was keeping them in.
Just as Po had defeated the last of the goons that were sent to stop them, he turned to face Shifu. "Did you see that? I mean how awesome was-," suddenly cut off, there was a loud rumble from beneath their feet. This could not have been good considering that they were in the heart of a volcano.
Heat poured around the two as they stared at the ground. Crack! As the floor beneath them continued to rumble, the Panda slipped into a crack that had formed between his feet. Grasping at the side of the cliff, he screamed, "Shifu! Help me!"
Running to the edge, Shifu noticed that the side of the cliff was starting to disintegrate underneath Po's heavy weight. Po couldn't jump off the side either for the wall was going to be coming down shortly. Shifu grasped at his lovers hand and attempted to pull him up without causing the floor beneath them to collapse.
"Shifu," Po looked deeply into the smaller red panda's eyes. "I'm sorry, and I love you."
"Po! Don't be such a fool! You are coming home alive whether you like it or not!" Shifu screamed desperately;, however, this attempt at saving his love was futile. Slowly Po slipped from Shifu's grip and fell into the hot lava below.
Shifu suddenly shot up. Noticing that it was dark outside and that he was drenched in sweat, he looked beside him and let out a heavy sigh. Po was sleeping peacefully beside him. It was just another nightmare.
