Author's note: Hi peeps, It's me. For the people who actually read my C+ stories are probably wondering, why are you working on this and not on your other KFP stories? Or, is Takami going to be in this? Here's my answer, sorry no. The reason is that; I want to start something new, something better to work with. Now don't fret guys, I'm not giving up on the Hazards or Takami, or the stories (What you think I'm crazy). I just want to take a little break and mess with this a little. I "will" work on this and Takami's chronicles at the same time. I just hope that's okay with you guys. So with that out-of-the-way, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work! Please leave a review and tell me what you think, positively, please. Enjoy! XD
Ps. Soft criticism is allowed, just go easy okay. Like I said before, enjoy.

A new beginning
By: ?
In The Valley of Peace it was getting dark as the sun was setting behind the horizon, and was no longer visible. As the night was soon to arrive and the villagers were just about to either close up or head home. Strutting and shambling down the street, an injured black panther wearing a tattered blue shirt and black shorts, was walking down the street. He appeared to be 4'5, and somewhere around 130 pounds. Some would try to ignore him or dive quickly in their houses because not a lot of carnivore animals arrive in the Village. They paid no attention that he was hurt or he was just a kid, no older than thirteen.
The preteen continues to shamble down the street with his messy and ruffled up fur, supporting his injured right arm with his left paw. His eye glows throughout the night as he was squinting with his right deep-sea blue eye.
'Come on...Sora, get yourself together. Dark powers, you compl..ow.. completely, ruin my life. Thank you very-much. A simple gang attack ...and a sword wound...is nothing I can't handle. The least you can do...powers...is give me strength...to get my...tuchas up and...nah. Get myself to a...hospital.' The panther thought as he was barely walking right.
'Ahh...damn, these cuts and sword wounds...really hurts. I'll just assume-these villagers-has other things to do then help...an injured teenage panther like me. Ow-okay- hospital. I just got too—keep walking. Have I mentioned or thought how much this hurts' He thought. He was thinking this, trying to build motivation for himself, but to no avail he fell over and fainted in front of a shop. Sudden he was being dragged inside the shop.
4 hours later
Several hours passed as the Black Panther was lying on a bed. He began to awaken as he realized he was lying on a bed, in an unfamiliar room that had pictures and action figures. He also quickly noticed that he was no longer wearing a shirt and his entire chest and midsection was wrapped in bandages, same goes with his left arm.
He carefully sat up in the bed and questioned, "Where am I?"
Just as he questioned that an old goose came up the stairs with a rag in his hands.
"Oh, you're awake." He said walking to the bed.
"Yeah I'm awake. Who are you, and did you do this?" The Panther asked sternly. The goose paid no attention to the panther's stern voice.
"Yes, I treated your wounds and some of the smaller cuts already faded somehow. You may call me Mr. Ping." He introduced.
"Oh, well uh, thanks I guess." The preteen said.
"So what's your name young man?" Mr. Ping asked waiting for him to introduce himself. The teen wasn't really sure if he should give him too much information. But he was grateful enough to out his name.
'My name is Sora, Sora Gao." Sora answered. With that said, Mr. Ping placed the rag on top of his for head and other to cover his squinting eye.
"So Sora, where is your family, and how did you get these cuts and wounds?" the old goose asked.
"I got jumped by some croc bandits, but their efforts wasn't enough. As for family, I don't know. I don't have any family members. Also I lost some of my memories. The only thing I member is my name and my…dark potential powers that was cast upon me." Sora explained. Sora looked at the old goose and said, "I'm guessing you want me out of here by morning?"
"Nonsense, for now on your staying here, and once you get better your free to do what you feel is right. But uh, you're free to stay here if you like." Mr. Ping offered.
"Thanks, I'll think about it." The preteen replied.
"As for now, get some rest. You'll feel a little better in the morning I hope. Goodnight." Mr. Ping said going back down stairs.
'The old guy is actually pretty nice. He's right, my injures will be gone, thanks to my weird hyper healing. He did help me, so I'll stay a little longer.' Sora thought as he drifted off to sleep.
The next day
The next day, Sora began to awake for his groggy sleep. He sat up in the bed and rubbed the crust from his eyes and looked at the window and sees the sun's was high in the sky and figured that it was still early. He then looked down at his covered lap and sees a clean pair of new clothes. It was a blue Chinese T-shirt and black pants.
'Mr. Ping must have brought these up.' Sora figured in thought. He then quickly put them on and they surprisingly fit perfectly.
"Sora, are you up yet?! Come down for a moment please." Mr. Ping asked from down stairs. Hearing his call, Sora walked to the door and noticed on the door hinge had an apron on it. For some reason, Sora grabbed the apron and went down stairs with it. Going down the short stairs, he then noticed that one of the steps was a little trippy and cautiously walked down carefully. After going down the steps, Sora walks into a serving kitchen, and sees Mr. Ping giving out bowls filled with noodles.
The goose then sees the panther standing there confused with the apron in his hand. The goose smiled happily and quickly waddled over and grabbed the apron and wrapped it around Sora's waste. He then finally said, "Good now, I need your help. My son promised he'd be here but hasn't should up. I need you to serve these to the customers quickly. Serve it to all of them and keep an eye out okay. I'm be here to cook and call when the noodles. Make haste, serve with a smile." Mr. Ping said tossing the bowls of noodles to him and pushing him outside into the crowded tables.
'What the hairballs. I come here for one night and the next morning he pushes me into work. What a drag.' Sora thought slightly vexed.
"Hey kid, where's my food?!" an adult pig exclaimed angrily.
"Hold your fat stomach pig man, don't rush me!" Sora remarked frustrated walking over to him.
Elsewhere in the Jade Palace
In the Training hall, the warriors of Kung Fu the Furious Five and the surprisingly three years running Dragon warrior, were doing their usual training sessions honing their skills to stay on their greatest.
Viper the snake was on the flame pillars honing her agile flexibility skills. Crane was performing his balance and deflecting moves on the Jade tortoise. Mantis was in the Gauntlets of steel-studded wood warriors, nimbly striking them with his pinchers accelerating through. Monkey was doing his exercising on the Talons rings, which was hanging on the ceiling. Obviously, Tigress was on the attack in the middle of the Swing clubs of instant Oblivion, striking the in-coming spiked clubs while in the middle performing acrobatics at the same time. Last but not least, well almost, Po the Panda titled the Dragon Warrior, was with the Grand Master Shifu on the Adversary.
The old Grand master and panda were also having a discussion, as Shifu was observing the titled dragon master.
"So Shifu…?" Po called as he punched the fake bandit and quickly moving out of its way coming back with the same force.
"Yes?" He answered.
"It's it alright, if later, I could see my dad? Today I was supposed help out." Po asked continuing his training and turning his head over to the red Panda over and over.
"Yes that's fine now. Concentrate!" He suddenly yelled. Po was taken back for a moment the unexpectedly gets hit by the fake bandit getting knocked to the ground.
"You lost your focus, and to a none-living thing—again." Shifu stated. The others exited out of their training courses and rushed over to their panda friend. Tigress grabbed his paws and Monkey pushed his back to get him up, and succeed. Rubbing the siding side of his face, Po had a puzzled expression and silently swore under his breath.
"Po, are you okay?" Viper asked her brotherly friend.
"Yeah, just a little winded. So that's how it feels to get hit by me." Po stated. Everyone found Po's little joke to be humorous and laughed, aside for Master Shifu and Tigress who just let out a chuckled.
Shifu ended his rare chuckle and said, "You are all dismissed from training and is free to do your regular routines. Po you may go see your father. Master Viper, with Po on the way back, can you bring back some more groceries?"
"Yes sir." Viper answered with a bow and slithered next to Po with a smile.
"You may go." Shifu finally said. With that said both Po and Viper made their way to the courtyard and down the horrid thousand steps Po despise so much.
Back with Sora
Back in Mr. Ping's noodle Shop, Sora was getting completely frustrated as most of the customers was driving him up the wall. The preteen almost throw one of the bowls at one of the customers that was yelling at him, but caught up to his vexed mood.
"Kid, where's my…"
"Sir, if you won't stop yelling at me, you won't just get you stupid food, you'll get my fist down your throat on the side, you mindless porker. Now sit down and wait!" Sora yelled angrily responded. Hearing the loud commotion, Mr. Ping popped his head out the door and tried getting the preteen panthers attention by waving his hand. Sora saw him and walked over to him.
"Yes?" Sora said.
"What are you doing, he's a usual customer. Don't insult him." Mr. Ping told.
"Sorry, but he started it. I don't like being yelled and he's getting on my nerves." Sora explained with frustration in his voice.
"Look, just ignore him and give him what he wants." Mr. Ping suggested.
Sora heavily exhaled and said, "Fine, but if he calls me out one more time, I'm having him for breakfast as bacon." He said, and then walked over to the adult pig. Looking at the pig, he dramatically and sarcastically placed the bowl in front of him.
"About time kid, and don't expect a tip." He said.
"No I don't need the "last" of your money." Sora silently insulted with him still able to hear it.
"You brut of a cat." He said back. Something within finally Sora snapped as he turned around and was about to punch his lights out, until a three wolves walked in with weapons and all.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, if you be so kind is to take out all your money and no one gets hurt." The lead wolf said. Everybody followed his order and pulled out their money. The only one that wasn't complying was Sora, and he didn't seem to happy at all.
'Great, just what I need, another gang attack.' Sora thought, than something finally clicked in the back of his mind. Looking at the wolves, everything was coming back to him from last night. Sora then wide-eyed the wolf and the wolf looked at him.
"You!" Both Sora and the wolf leaders exclaimed similarity.
"You beat down my boys!" the wolf exclaimed pointing at Sora.
"You and your pack jumped me last night." Sora yelled back.
"Oh I'm so going to enjoy beating you down" He said pulling out his battle-axe pointing it at Sora. Sora unsheathed his claw looked dangerously at the wolf.
"This time, I can see where you all are. When this is over, you'll be sorry you'd ever jumped me." Sora threaten.
Well, thats it for now. I hope this caught some of your attention because this is a new fic without my other characters. Like I said before, I'm not giving up on Takami and the others, get it memorized. Next chapter you'll see two more new characters. Who are they, you'll have to wait to see. Until the next chapter, later.
