Well, I'm coming back to Kung Fu Panda for one fanfic before I go onto another type.
A month had passed since the Five had last seen Traitor. And since Monkey had his three hundred won cookies eaten. He had mostly gotten over it. DB was sitting alone early in the morning by the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. He was just thinking. He had incredible friends, and an awesome girlfriend. He wished he could be back home with his family. He knew that this was a consequence for disobedience. His ear twitched. He knew what was coming and he let it. His girlfriend pounced on him. He smiled up at her. He said,"Wan, why do you wear that mask?" Wan pulled down her mask and kissed DB. When she released, she put her mask back and said,"Just so I can hear you ask that." DB chuckled and said,"New answer this time. I like it." Wan chuckled back and gave him another kiss on the lips. She pulled off and put her mask back again and just laid on top of DB, watching the sunrise. They smiled at it. They were at so much peace. Shifu walked out and said,"I'm guessing you two won't mind that we're having a day off today." DB said,"Not at all." Shifu chuckled and said,"Well, for lunch, we are all headed for Mr. Ping's. It includes you two." DB asked, "Wait. You are actually giving us an order to eat at Mr. Ping's for lunch?" Shifu replied, "Yes. Is there a problem?" DB said,"No. It's just that, I never thought you would give an order to eat somewhere." Shifu replied,"Well, it's not entirely because of relaxation. You see, Mr. Ping has been having trouble with some people always coming in at lunch time causing some trouble." DB then said,"Okay. I understand." He then turned and started kissing Wan. Shifu walked away chuckling and said to himself,"Young love."
In the kitchen
Viper had herself lightly coiled around Crane. Monkey and Mantis were just chatting away. Po was teaching his girlfriend, Tigress, how to cook noodles. Shifu walked in and sat down. He just listened to his students. Po said,"Now, you add the final ingredient." Tigress lifted up a small bowl of some sort of chopped vegetables and said,"These?" Po chuckled and said, "Yes." She poured them in as Po stirred. Po then said,"Order up." He then passed out some bowls. He then realized that DB wasn't there. Just as he noticed, DB came walking in, carrying Wan bride style. He then sat her down on his lap. Wan just chuckled as her and DB started kissing. Mantis said in a disgusted voice,"Ugh, get a room." Wan said in as seductive of a voice as she could,"Who knows. We just might." Mantis gagged. DB said,"Hey, you asked for it." Tigress gave Po a kiss. She then looked at Mantis and asked,"What? You aren't going to ask us to get a room?" Mantis replied,"Not after what Wan just said." Everyone chuckled and Tigress said in a fake pouting voice,"Darn. I was hoping you would." Everyone chuckled again and DB said,"Po is a really good influence on you, Tigress. You actually have a sense of humor now." She chuckled at the statement. Everyone continued to eat. After they were done, DB kissed Wan and asked,"What do you want to do?" She turned so she had her entire body facing him, and said,"I'm sure we'll think of something." Mantis said,"I'm sure it will involve a lot of kissing." This got him pinned against the wall by a throwing knife. DB said,"Nice throw, Wan. You've really improved on your accuracy." Wan then said,"Well, I did have a pretty good teacher." DB then lifted her up with her legs wrapped around him and they walked out. Viper gave Crane a kiss and said,"How about we go for a fly around until lunch." Crane said,"Okay." They then went out. Po turned to Tigress and she turned to him. They both had a smirk. Po said,"I'll grab the woks." Tigress said,"I'll grab the grease." As they were running out, Shifu said,"Don't destroy the woks." Monkey and Mantis just got to work cleaning the dishes. Shifu walked out. After he left, Monkey and Mantis started to talk about what they agreed to talk about. Monkey started,"Seems DB is holding up pretty well." Maantis replied,"I'm not too sure. He always wakes up long before the gong to just sit out by the Sacred Peach Tree." Monkey said,"It's just to relieve the stress that is built up from training here." Mantis countered,"He had harder training at his home. I think the only thing keeping his sanity is Wan." Monkey said,"Well, maybe. We need to keep an eye on him. He did lose several close people. Still, he has held up better than many people would have."
With DB and Wan
They were just walking the same way that they left the kitchen. DB sat down on a rock and was just rubbing Wan's back. Wan rested her head in the crook of his neck. She pulled it closer and sighed. DB just sat smiling. He was actually holding up very well. He knew it, too. He had experienced more loss in a few minutes than many experience in a few years. He knew it was in part to Wan. A few times in the early morning, he let out a short cry for the loss. But, that was it. He kissed Wan's cheek. Though it wasn't seen, she smiled.
With Po and Tigress
They had just finished greasing up their woks. Po sat his down and sat in it. Tigress did the same. They got ready to go. Po said,"One." Tigress said,"Two." They yelled together,"THREE!" They went racing down the stairs. Shifu was down at the finish line. He chuckled at how childish the three of them were being. If Po never came, they never would have acted like this. He was ready to see the winner. They were racing down at blinding speeds. Tigress won by only a little. Shifu turned and said,"Very good Tigress. Tigress? Po?" They had gone so fast, they ran into a wall. They wobbled back. Po said,"Who won?" Shifu said,"Tigress." Po shook his head and turned to her and said,"Congratulations." Tigress then said,"Does that mean I get a victory kiss?" Po pulled her in and gave her a small peck on the lips. Shif u then said,"Alright. Grab your woks and lets head back up. It will be time to get ready by the time we get up there." They happily complied.
With Crane and Viper
Crane turned slightly and said to Viper,"Look down now." She did. It was beautiful. There were rocks inthe shape of a heart with the words, Crane loves Viper, spelled in the middle. Viper smiled. She squeezed Crane a little tighter for a hug and said,"Thank you." He said, "Anything for you." They then turned to head back.
At the Jade Palace
Monkey and Mantis were waiting for someone to walk through the doors. They had an old classic set up. A bucket of water on a door. The gates opened, but the bucket didn't fall onto Shifu. He looked up when he seen their faces and said,"You should have put it closer to the edge." He then set it up with the bucket closer to the edge and watched with them. It fell onto Tigress. Po had pushed it open to be a gentleman, and it ended up helping the three with their prank, making them laugh even more than if he hadn't. Tigress pulled the bucket off and had pure anger in her eyes. She walked up to the three and said in a calm voice,"Do not think this will slide." She then walked off. They had stopped laughing. Shifu said,"We better be expecting some pranks." DB and Wan walked in, with Wan still holding onto DB. Monkey asked,"Were you two like that the entire time?" DB said,"Yep." Wan then jumped off. She landed next to him, while walking. They held hands while heading towards the sleeping quarters to get ready. Shifu then said,"Get ready you two." Monkey and Mantis turned and said,"Yes Master Shifu." They then followed DB and Wan.
fifteen minutes later
Everyone was in front of the Jade palace with big straw hats and dark cloaks that completely concealed them. Shifu said,"Remember, keep your heads down and eyes and ears alert. DB, take us just outside the valley." DB opened up a portal and they all went through.
right outside the Valley of Peace
The group dropped from just a few feet off the ground. DB was the only one landing on his face. Wan giggled at what happened. DB chuckled as he was getting up and said,"Doesn't hurt as bad with you around." He then lowered her mask and gave her a quick kiss. After he had put her mask back, Shifu said,"Do not be showing affection during lunch. It could give us away." DB sighed and said,"Yes, master." Shifu then smiled and said,"You three couples, go ahead and kiss before we go in." They quickly obliged. Monkey and Mantis gagged, recieving a whack from Shifu, who said,"If you find love, you'll understand." The couples then quit. They sighed as they knew they wouldn't be able to do it through lunch.
Five minutes later, at Mr. Ping's
The group walked in quietly. Most people just thought they were friends of DB, because he had ninja friends, as they had heard. They never seen them, so they did not know how they dressed. Mr. Ping seen them and said,"What can I get for you?" Shifu whispered,"Secret ingredient soups for everyone." Mr. Ping replied, "Very well." He then whispered,"They haven't arrived yet." Everyone sat at a table together. They all kept their heads down, as instructed. DB kept his eyes closed to listen for anything. He opened his eyes at the moment his soup was set before him. He began eating with the rest. He sat across from Wan, and smiled when she would hit his leg with her tail. He noticed Shifu glaring at them, so he gave Wan a look to tell her to stop.
After about twenty minutes, they all leaned in, and Shifu said,"Tigress, Viper, and Wan, you three will stay here. DB, you will make sure you keep mental links with everyone, and you will tell us when the people come in. The rest of us will split up and see if we can spot any possibilities. When you spot a possibility, let DB know. Let's go." DB left with the others. He made sure he kept a mental lock on everyone. He himself went outside the valley, because, he could not look for suspects while keeping a mental lock on everyone. He decided to calm his nerves. Not by sharpening a katana, as usual, but by making a gift for Wan. He made a fire and took out some of his weapons. He put a wire in the fire. When it got hot, he used it to cut his weapons.
With Crane
When he got out of sight, he flew. He was looking at everyone from a safe distance. He seen many possibilities, but it seemed like it was too many to be possible, so he tried to narrow his search to common bandit species. It was greatly reduced.
With Po
He was walking around, looking at everyone discretly. He didn't even notice he was being followed. He noticed several possibilities, and let DB know that there were several in the part of the valley he was in. DB then gave the message to everyone else. Po was still oblivious to being followed, but he made sure to turn around, just in case.
With Monkey and Mantis
They stayed together in the food market. Mantis made sure to keep looking behind Monkey. They both noticed several different species that looked like they could be threats. They did not notice someone on the roofs, however.
With Shifu
He made sure that he was on the roofs as he was looking. He was the only one that knew of someone following him. He also noticed that something wasn't right with all the possible's that he seen. He said to himself,"This is not good. If all the possibilities are truly people we should be worried about, we may be in trouble." He then heard DB in his thoughts say,"The girls are in trouble."Shifu tried to go to Mr. Ping's, but was stopped by the person following him. It was another red panda. Shifu asked,"Who are you?" He got into his fighting stance. The other red panda chuckled and said,"I'm no one important to you." The red panda charged.
With Crane
As he turned to go help. Something struck him down. It was an eagle. Crane seen him and flew back up and was ready to fight. The eagle dodged him and said,"You are slow." Crane turned to him and said,"Ya, but slow and steady wins the race." The eagle replied,"It can also kiil you." Theagle chrged at Crane, just as he said,"Wings of Justice!"
With Po
He jumped onto the rooftops to get there faster. But, he was quickly kicked onto his back. He got up to see a fox ready to fight him. Po got ready, but the fox struck much faster. Po was pushed to the edge. He seen the fox charging. He thought quickly and used his stomach to launch the fox away. He then ran towards the fox. He was hit away. Po then got into his fighting stance.
With Monkey and Mantis
They had snuck into an alley. They started to climb the wall at the end to get onto the roofs. Monkey was pulled down. There was a spider and a Rabbit standing behind them. They both got into their fighting positions. The two chuckled. The spider, which happened to be a black widow female, said,"You two are crazy if you think you can win." Monkey replied,"We don't think we can win. We know we will win." The four charged towards each other.
With DB
He turned to leave with his completed project. He quickly hit into the bushes. He then pulled out an aligator, who cried to him,"Please don't kill me. I'm all alone!" DB replied,"You speak the truth, so I will just torture you by putting you through the portal of a thousand pains until I rescue my girl." He then opened a portal and dropped the aligator through it. He hurried towards Mr. Ping's.
Mr. Ping's
It was emptied and the window was closed. The three girls were pinned. Wan said,"We told you we have boyfriends! Now get... OFF!" She kicked a gorilla away. Tigress punched a male white tiger away from her. Viper slid her way out of the grasp off a king cobra. The girls tried to fight them off, but they were too much and pinned them again. The gorilla then said,"Well, if you don't want us willingly, WE'LL TAKE YOU!" The thre males quickly tried to remove the clothing they had on by ripping it. They all three got hit in the heads by three woks. They turned to see holding several. He started throwing more at them. This allowed the girls to get out of their grasps. The guys looked at them after Mr. Ping ran out of stuff to throw at them and closed the door. The Cobra said,"Well, looks like we have Tigress and Viper of the Furioys Five here. And who might you be young lady?" Wan just stared at him with a death glare. She had a small spark of flame in her eyes. There was also a small amount of smoke coming from under her feet, though it wasn't enough to be noticed. Th three girls ran at the guys. They again got pinned. They knew that if someone didn't come soon, they would be in a terrible position.
End of chapter one, with many cliffhangers. So, who sent these guys? Why are they all concentrated in the Valley of Peace? How will the fights end? What is in the portal of a thousand pains? How many reviews will I get? Why do I keep on asking questions? Well, for all but the last two, tune in next time to find out.
