Everyone in the Valley of Peace was working hard and children were playing. They all stop as a shadow was passing through. The figure climbed up the stairs to the Jade Palace where Oogway and the furious five (the previous furious five) were training. When the door open, a bunny with a cane appeared.
"Many years ago, when Shifu was in the Furious Five, there was a silent bunny named Mingyu."
The bunny taps his staff and Oogway smiles and nods.
"Mingyu wanted to learn from Master Oogway; to learn the secrets of Kung Fu. Oogway agreed to train him along with the furious five."
Mingyu started to train right away. He tried the training course and he succeeded all the way.
"Mingyu became powerful and very skilled in Kung Fu and Oogway started to worry for him. So he tells him to meditate once in a while."
Mingyu sits at the peace tree meditating.
"From time and time, Mingyu meditates for he wants to remain balanced. His hardcoreness and his peacefulness were balanced in him. Making him even more powerful than Fenghuang."
Mingyu and Fenghuang were fighting until Fenghuang fell to the ground and Mingyu stands tall.
"Mingyu was now done with his training and he sets of on his own journey."
He bows down the masters of the Jade Palace and walks away.
"Many years past and he was the perfect warrior. While he was on his journey, he hears a little cry."
Mingyu looks in a bunch of bushes the source of the crying.
"An abandon little cub was in a basket in the bushes. No one was around so Mingyu took it in. Using his powers, he used diamonds to create a secret palace in the middle of the bamboo forest."
A palace appears out of diamonds from the ground.
"Because of its valuableness, Master Mingyu only transports himself with his powers to his village. Only one person goes in the palace and only one ever comes out, but he was never alone in that palace. For many years, Master Mingyu trains that little cub that he found."
A 4 year old dark figure punches a dummy making a hole in the wall.
"And just like Oogway to him, he wanted his student to remain balanced like he did. 7 hours of training, 7 hours of meditating 2 hours of whatever and 8 hours of sleep. These are the ingredients of a perfect warrior."
The figure sits on a high point of the palace ground meditating.
"You would that this student would want power, focus or dedication to Kung Fu. But what this warrior wants… is freedom. The student never left the palace grounds and that's how Mingyu likes. He will tell his student when it's time to leave the diamond palace."
The student looks at Mingyu before he disappears into mist to go to the village. The student bows its head in disappointment as Mingyu closes the door.
(20 years later)
Mingyu walks up to his training student who is now three times taller than he is. He taps his staff once to get the students attention. He continues to tap.
'My student, you have been training here for all of your life and now it's finally time to leave the palace to a new one; where you will train for a month. I congratulate you and wish you good luck on you quest. Before we go, I need to teach you how to do the transportation technique so that way we can be in… the valley of peace.'
After the lesson, they transported into a bamboo forest right outside the valley of peace.
He began to tap his staff. 'Wait here; I will go tell Shifu the big news.'
The student bowed to Mingyu and he went off. The student looks at the jade palace of where it stands.
Back in the Jade Palace, the Furious Five were training hard in the training hall. Then Zeng, the messenger, was sounding a gong.
"Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!"
The furious five and Shifu instantly stopped and headed for Zeng.
Shifu was the first one to speak. "What is it Zeng?" Zeng couldn't say anything.
Tigress was the only one that could make out what he is saying. "He saying… someone is coming up the stairs."
"Who?"
Zeng caught his breath. "Mingyu!"
"Master Mingyu? I haven't seen him in a while. Everyone, get ready for his arrival. I'm gonna get my thump language scroll." Shifu went off to the hall of warriors.
Everyone got ready in an instant. "Who's Master Mingyu?" Monkey said as he puts away the dummy.
"I've heard of him." Tigress stands up the weapons. "Master Shifu told me that he never says a word but bangs his staff instead. He was a loyal student to Oogway and a friend of Shifu's."
Shifu just entered with the thump language scroll. "That's right, I haven't seen him since he left about 25 years ago. It's very rare that he visits."
While he was cleaning, he finds out that they were short a member. "Where's Po?"
"He's at the noodle shop helping his father today."
"Okay, as soon as he comes here, I need you to go get him."
Tigress sighs and bows to her master. "Yes master."
Meanwhile, at the noodle shop, a bunny with magenta eyes and an orange-gem necklace walks inside and then sits in a seat.
Mr. Ping sees her. "Po, we got a new customer. Go take her order."
"Okay dad." Po get out of the kitchen and walks up to her. "Welcome Mr. Ping's noodle shop. May I take your order?"
"I don't really know what to order. I'm new around here and I've never tried noodles before."
"You have never had noodles? Then I would suggest the secret ingredient noodle soup."
"Okay, I can try that."
"Fantastic. Chopsticks or spoon?"
"What's a spoon?"
Po's eyes widen. "Where have you been living, in a palace?"
"What? *scoffs* of course not I'm just a plain bunny girl."
Po looks at her in suspicion. "Okay one secret ingredient noodle soup; coming up." He walks in the kitchen and looks at her again. He bumps into Mr. Ping. "Oops. Sorry dad." Then he stares at the bunny girl.
Mr. Ping smiles. He thinks that his son is in love. "So what is the bunny's order?"
"One secret ingredient noodle soup."
"Perfect." Mr. Ping got right to it. "So I haven't seen her before. Do you know her?"
"She's new in the village and she never had noodles. She's never even heard of a spoon."
"Wow she must be very confusing right now. After she's done eating, why don't you show her around the village?"
"But what about our time together this week?"
"That happens every week but her… she's an opportunity of a life time. Go on and talk to her." Mr. Ping gives Po two bowls of noodle soup.
Po goes to the table and sets down the bowls. "Order up. I got you both chop sticks and a spoon just in case."
"Oh so that's what that is called here. Back where I came from, my… *clear throat* umm…"
"Advisor?"
"Theoretically, yeah, he said that these were beginners food supply and I were to never use them once I got use to chop sticks. But since he's not here, what do I have to lose." She picks up the spoon and eats the soup.
"Mmm this soup is delicious. It must be amazing to work in a place like this, living in a normal house surrounded but lovely citizens of the valley."
"Where do you live?"
The bunny looks at the panda. "You can say that all my life I was inside a box that I could never escape."
"Oh that's so sad Ms. …"
"You can call me Jasmine."
"Well it's nice to meet you Jasmine. I'm Po."
Jasmine looks up. "The Dragon Warrior?"
"Yeah, you heard of me?"
"Yeah I have, but I didn't expect… you know…"
"A guy like me could be an awesome dragon warrior?"
"Well… yes. But's because I heard that he's fearful, strong and shows no mercy and you, you on the other hand are very sweet and kind and just don't see you as a person that shows no mercy."
"Thank you Jasmine you're kind and sweet too."
They smiled at each other.
Mr. Ping was looking at them. "Yes, my plan is working."
Everything in the training room was ready and the six masters stare at the door waiting for the arrival of Master Mingyu. The doors slowly open to reveal and old bunny with a cane.
Shifu was the first one to speak. "Welcome back old friend."
Mingyu banged his staff. 'It's good to see you Shifu again Shifu. It's been so long. I heard about the past of Master Oogway.'
Shifu set scroll down the scroll and nods. "Allow to present the new furious five; well, the new one since you got here. This is Master Tigress." She bows. "Master Crane" He bows. "Master Viper" she bows "Master monkey" he bows "and Master Mantis" he bows. Mingyu bangs his staff. "He's saying that it's an honor to meet you all."
Mingyu bangs his staff. 'Shifu, we must talk from mouth to staff in private.'
"Of course. Continue training and Tigress, go get Po."
"Yes Master Shifu." The five bowed and got to work.
Shifu and Mingyu went to the hall of heroes.
"So is there something going on?"
Mingyu bangs his staff. 'Yes. I and my secret student have been in the bamboo forest for years and I was hoping that she would be introduced to the valley of peace.'
"It is very rare for a Master that has cut himself from the society to have a student. How can I say no? Of course you can introduce your student here. Zeng!" a goose flew in the hall. "I have an announcement to make."
Zeng got his paintbrush and the scroll ready.
Back in the village, in the noodle shop, Po and Jasmine were laughing.
"You are funny, Po. Not all guys are funny like you."
"And you have an amazing laugh." They look at their bowls. "Since we're done with our soup, you want me to show you around the village?"
"Sure, I would love that."
They got up and headed for the door. Then out of nowhere, Tigress dropped in front of them. Everyone got shocked for a moment. "Po we have to go to the jade palace."
"You're Master Tigress." Jasmine looks at Po. "So you were telling the truth?"
"Yeah" Po looks at Tigress. "Tigress I'm sorry but I can't. It's my time off and…"
"Master Mingyu is here."
"What? The Master Mingyu? The bunny that can't talk yet he can do mad skills is here?" Tigress rolls her eyes and nods. "Whoa this is a rare opportunity of a life time!" He looks at Jasmine. "But I promised Jasmine that I would show her around."
Jasmine looks at him. "You asked me, you didn't promise me."
"Yeah, I know but it feels like I did."
Then a little gong went on and a sign was placed on the door to the noodle shop.
(Master Mingyu, an old student, is here in the Valley of Peace and is gonna reveal a secret student to the entire valley today.)
"Whoa. Jasmine isn't this…" he saw that she was gone. "Great?" He looks around to see her running down the road. "Jasmine, where are you going?"
Jasmine stops and looks at Po. "It's something important! Don't worry; I'll be here all month! You can show me around later!" She continued to run. "Bye!"
"Good-bye! Can you at least try to make it to the ceremony?"
"Don't worry, you'll see me there!" Then she disappeared around the corner.
Po sighs and then heads to the Jade Palace with Tigress.
The ceremony was about to start and Po was looking for Jasmine. "Oh where is she?"
"Citizens of the Valley of Peace! We are proud to present the master of the Diamond Palace! Master Mingyu!" The double doors to the entrance opened widely and Mingyu stepped in. Everyone cheers for him and he walks over to Shifu. He nods at Shifu. "And now presenting… Mingyu's secret student!"
Everyone saw a dark figure above them and did a few flips in the air. The secret student landed gracefully in middle of the open floor. Everyone cheers for it arrival. The secret student was cat like and was wearing black ninja like outfit.
Po awes. "Whoa. That's the secret student? It's amazing."
Mingyu bangs his staff and Shifu nodded.
"And now to test this secret student, the furious five and the dragon warrior will battle one on six."
Everyone cheered.
Po looks at the two masters. "Shifu, we can't do that it's not fair."
Mingyu taps his staff. "He said don't worry. It is fair."
"Okay."
Then the six warriors landed in the middle of the open floor ready to fight.
"Fighters, begin!"
And with that, The warriors all got into their fighting positions, each one eyeing the student of Master Mingyu. But like before every battle, Po just had to say something. "Alright student of Master Mingyu, get ready to feel the furious dragon thunder!" Only to receive some looks from his fellow masters.
"Furious dragon thunder? I thought it was get ready to feel the thunder?" Monkey asked while he looked at Po who only laughed a little.
"Well this time I wanted to combine our titles together you know, it sounds so much cooler." This made Monkey smile and nod.
"Ok guys, let's get focused here please." Tigress rolled her eyes. Po and Monkey than turned their attention back to the student and got back to being all serious like they were before. And as they did, the secret student moved his eyes around as well as he body to see where his opponents were and once he did, he looked directly at Tigress and brought his paw up, and with a fluid motion moved his fingers back and forth for a signal that read 'Bring it on.' Seeing this made Tigress a little angry as she hated when people did that to her.
"Alright if you say so." Tigress rushed to her opponent, signaling for her comrades to charge with her and that's exactly what they did. And as Tigress came face to face with the student, she brought her right paw back and sent it hurtling towards the students face, but only for it to completely miss. As the secret student tilted their head to the side and once they dodged it they sent a punch to Tigresses stomach, sending her back limping a little.
The secret student bows to the masters and then Po limps up. He sees Po and instead of finishing him, it helps him up. They bow at each other. Everyone starts to cheer. The secret student looks at Mingyu and nods. Mingyu bangs his staff and Shifu nods.
"Citizens of the valley of peace! The Dragon Warrior will now reveal the mask of the secret student!"
Everyone cheers while Po look at the secret student. He was a little nervous as he walks up to the secret student.
Shifu talks to the crowd. "And now, presenting…" Po lifts his paws to the mask. "The secret student of the diamond palace" Po lifts the mask. "Jasmine the tiger."
Everyone gasps at the revealed face. A tigress with magenta eyes was staring at Po.
"Jasmine?"
