The amnesiac swordsman

Summary: There's a young warrior who arrives in the valley of peace. His skill with a sword is unbelievably awesome, the only thing is... he has no idea where he got it from, or who he is at that matter. Can Po and the others help him regain his memory?

I'm back from making my original story everyone, feel free to read it on fictionpress, but now it's time to get back to fanfic writing. Kung fu panda belongs to dreamworks (Though I wish it was mines lol) I only own Shirogami, Kurogami, and Dog.

Italics are journal entries, let's get started.


Chapter 1: The dog with a sword

You have heard of it right... the legend of the dragon warrior? He's supposed to be able to hear a butterflies wingbeat, and see light in the deepest cave. The dragon warrior could actually feel the universe in motion around him, but most importantly, he believed in himself; he believed in his kung fu, and because of that, he was able to be the greatest warrior in all of China. The stories about him are really cool... but his story isn't important yet. The story first takes place in Japan, right above the Fuji river. A young dog had ran as fast as he could until he had reached the edge of the waterfall. Without a way out, he was trapped. "Shirogami!"

As he turned around, he saw as a large black wolf faced him with a katana in his hand. "There's nowhere to run, now give me the sword!"

The dog held onto the sheathed sword and quickly drew it out, ready to fight. "Kurogami, will you stop chasing me and listen for once?"

"I'm done listening to your lies!" The wolf was arrogant and attacked relentlessly. Shirogami had dodged and countered each attack with his own. They clashed and soon found themselves in a stalemate. "Why did you betray me, tell me why?"

"I didn't, I'm trying to tell you the truth but, you've clouded your mind." Shirogami grunted as he tried to push the wolf back. "Stop this obsession with power!"

"Shut up!" Kurogami's rage fueled his strength, he managed to throw the dog off gaurd and with quick speed he lunged and stabbed him right in his heart. "You traitor..."

Shirogami pulled away from the sword until he reached the edge, he struggled to stand up while coughing up blood. "Now, give me the sword."

"Heheheheh." He chuckled. "Sorry, why don't you ask me... next time we meet?"

The dog leaned back and fell of the edge of the waterfall. "Shiro!"


"Dog, oh Dog!"

"Hm... five more minutes?" A tired dog answered.

"If you don't hurry, I'm gonna eat your food!"

"... Coming." The dog stood up to greet the morning sun, rubbing the sleep still in his eyes and messing with his fur. He grabbed his pants and walked down into a kitchen to find an old but very strong panda cooking. "Morning, Panda Baba."

"And good morning to you too, sleepyhead." He answered. "Did you have a bad dream or something?"

"I don't know, it didn't feel like good one." Dog sat down and waited for the food to be done. "I saw these two guys fighting, and one of them fell to his death. I wonder what it could mean?"

"It's nothing to worry about, you hungry yet?" The dog's large belly, which could only be made from living with a panda started to growl for food. "I'll take that as a yes, I made dumplings and teacakes."

"Alright!" The dog happily enjoyed the food and finished it all at once. "I'll take seconds, please."

"That's my boy, gotta keep that belly of yours in check." Baba put more food in the dogs bowl and sat down next to him with his own. "So, are you sure you wanna do this?"

"Hm?" Dog asked.

"I know you're old enough, but going off into another village by yourself is a big decision." Baba explained. "I know that you want to go to the valley of peace, but that place is known for having thiefs and other bad guys attack it."

"But there's nothing to worry about, because they always get taken down by the furious five and dragon warrior." Just talking about the dragon warrior got the dog excited. "It's only been five months since he was choosen, and he's shown that he's just completely... completely awesome!"

"Hah, you've started talking like him too." Baba laughed. "I always thought Oogway's choice of having a panda being dragon warrior was a good one. I guess I can't stop you from going, but at least bring that sword with you."

The panda had pointed to a katana sitting in the corner of the kitchen, it's sheath was decorated with golden clouds, a circular gaurd and the handle could be gripped with two hands. "You shouldn't go traveling unprotected, so taking that with you is a good thing, it is yours after all."

"I guess, but you know I don't know how to use a sword... or fight for that matter." He sighed.

"Don't be like that, you can be a great warrior." Baba assured. "Just think of how the dragon warrior was before he was choosen, he was just like you, and now he's a kung fu master and a hero."

"Yeah... that's why I want to meet him." The dog gained a little more confidence and said, "Alright, I'll take the sword, and maybe a snack for the road."

"Don't worry, I already made a backpack full of stuff for you." Baba said.

"Right, I promise to send letters when I get there."

After saying goodbye, the dog went outside and stood to look at the road before him, he knew it would be long, but the destination would be worth it. "Oh, wait a minute."

Baba walked over and handed him a small journal. "Here, this'll help you remember your new experiences more."

"Thank you, Baba." He hugged the panda for a while and began his journey. The walk to the valley of peace would be a long one, but he wasn't going to give up. 'Hm, maybe I'll start my journal now, it's gonna be a pretty long walk.'

Dear Journal,

Hello journal, I'm glad I get to write in you for the first time. I'd tell you my name, but I kind of don't know it. You see, I don't have any memories of my past, a doctor said that I had amnesia. I was found about a year ago and adopted by Panda Baba, he's a really great person, and I've learned a lot from him in a year, but mostly how to eat to my hearts content; it's because of that I have a panda's belly now, I like it though. I still don't know much about my past, Baba had found me floating in a lake with a sword in my hand, the one I have now. But, I have learned that I'm not like ordinary dogs, my fur is snow white so it kind of fits with my blue eyes. Speaking of my fur, you know how kung fu masters like Master Shifu keeps it in a ponytail, I think I had mines like that too, but it's long... really long. The fur actually goes down to my shoulders, I don't mind it though, it's actually pretty cool to flip it around, I don't put it in a ponytail though, it's a lot cooler the way it is now. Well, if you wanted to know where we're going, I'm traveling to the valley of peace so I can meet the dragon warrior. Ever since his victory over Tai Lung, and all the great stuff he's done over the past five months, I've just been his biggest fan. Don't get me wrong, I like the furious five and Shifu too, I wanna meet them all! You can meet them too, journal.


In the valley of peace, the great warriors everyone praised were honing their skills inside the training hall of the jade palace. Master Shifu watched as his students progressed in their techniques, and he was very impressed at how far the dragon warrior had become. Po's kung fu had started to progress very quickly, his techniques were becoming more percise and strong, he could see it as he sparred with Tigress. He blocked her attacks and countered with his own blows, but as he dodged another attack, Tigress threw him off gaurd and kicked him flat on his behind. Shifu knew that something was wrong and decided to stop them. "That's enough you two. You did very good, Tigress."

"Thank you, Master." She answered.

"Po." Shifu watched as he stood back up. "You were doing quite well until the end, but you could've used that opprotunity to counter Tigress, why didn't you?"

"Really, I didn't even know that." Po said sheepishly, but Shifu didn't believe him.

"Tigress, go train with Crane on the jade tortoise." She bowed and left the two of them alone. "Is something troubling you, Panda?"

"N-Nothing, I'm totally fine." He replied.

"Panda... you know how I feel about lying to me." Shifu's glare was too terrifying to overcome.

"Well, I had this dream..."

"Yes?" He said

"In the dream, I'm surrounded in this darkness, but I see this shining light in the distance." Po explained. "As I walked closer to the light, I realize that the light is coming from a person with long flowing hair. The person felt my presence and turned around to look at me, he was shining so bright that I couldn't get a good glimpse at him, but I managed to see him extend his hand towards me. After that, the dream was over."

"Is that so?" Shifu asked.

"I thought it was a weird dream, but I started getting second thoughts, I didn't even eat breakfast because of it." Po answered, and when Po wouldn't eat, everyone knew something was strange.

"Perhaps it was a vision, this person might be someone you'll meet in the future." Shifu explained. "Do you remember anything else, anything that reminds of the person you saw?"

"Not really, the long flowing hair is all I can remember, though if I think about it... when I looked close enough at him, the guys fur was completely white." Po thought about it a little more and shuttered in fear. "Y-You don't think the guy's a ghost, do you?"

"Ghost can't hurt you, Po." Shifu smiled. "Why don't you take a break and meditate?"

"Actually, I kind of promised Dad I'd help him out after training." He answered.

"Very well, then go ahead."

"Thanks, I'll be back to make dinner." Po bowed to his master and ran off to the valley, though the dream was still in his mind, he decided to think about it later.


Hey, Journal. I was actually going to write to you the next day, but since I got lucky I thought I'd tell you what happened to me. I was walking to the valley of peace, and it looked like it'd take about a day to get there, but then I met this pig who was pulling a carraige. The guy was really strong and fast, but he told me that he needed help chopping the wood he had to make it smaller and easier to fit in his carriage. Since I had my sword with me, I decided to help and chop it for him, as thanks he said he'd give me a ride to the valley since he was going there too. I have to admit, I'm surprised at how strong the sword I have is, even after chopping the wood the blade looks brand new, but that didn't worry me at all; because of how fast the pig is, I'll be able to make it to the valley before nightfall, or even earlier. I'll talk to ya later, Journal.

The dog placed the journal back in his backpack, he grabbed his sword and looked at the blade again. It was clear enough to see his reflection and was completely beautiful. "Even after chooping wood, the blade looks completely perfect and new... where did I get this sword, if only I could remember."

"Dog, we finally made it." The pig called.

"No way, really?" He looked out of the carraige to see the large villiage filled with different creatures. "Wow, it's just as awesome as I thought it'd be."

"Is this your first time here?" The pig asked. "What did you want to do here?"

"Oh, I wanna see the dragon warrior and the five!" Dog answered.

"I figured as much, lot's of people come to this valley to see them." The pig said as the dog jumped off the carraige. "Well, thanks again for chopping my wood, hope we see each other soon."

"Yeah, me too." He said as the pig walked off, then began walking down the village himself. The dog was amazed at the beauty of the village, it's people who lived there seemed kind and peaceful, they worked hard and were proud of what they did. He was so excited to see all of this, his belly growled and he patted it to put it at ease. "Don't worry, we'll find food pretty soon."

Po walked through the valley and waved to the villagers who greeted him, he couldn't help but think about the dream he had. Who was the person he saw, when would he meet him, and what was he supposed to do when they meet? His thoughts soon stopped when his belly growled. "No worries big guy, food is on the way."

"Don't worry, we'll find food pretty soon."

"Huh?" Po heard another voice and turned to see a dog with snow white fur, and his eyes were as blue as the sky. The dog was very obese like him, but what caught Po's eyes was the long hair that went all the way down the dog's shoulders. "Y-You!"

"Huh?" The dog looked around until he saw Po and pointed to himself. "Who me?"

Po didn't want to make any assumptions, so he smiled and waved at him. "Hey there, you must be new in the valley."

The dog stood silent until he got a good look of Po, after a long moment he jumped and ran right to him. "No way, it's you... you're the dragon warrior!"

"Yep, nice to meet you." He answered.

"No, it's nice to meet you, make it a pleasure." The dog answered then stepped back in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I must be annoying to you right now. I'm your biggest fan... but I'm probably bothering you."

"Nah, I was in the middle of getting something to eat." Po assured. "How about you come with me?"

"M-Me... eat... with you?" He asked.

"Sure, I could hear you friend growling with mines." Po pointed to the dogs stomach. "Think of it as thanks for being a fan."

"I'm not just a fan of yours, I love everything kung fu! My heart beats like a proud warrior." His belly growled as again. "Um... that was my heart."

"Hahaha. Come on, I'll treat ya to a bowl of noodles." Po said smiling.

"S-Sure."

The dog followed Po as he walked over to his Dad's noodle shop, it was large enough to have costumers sit down and eat, it also had two rooms from what the dog could tell. "Dad, I'm here."

"Po, I was waiting for you." A small goose with noodles on his head came from out of the shop to hug Po, or at least try to since it's arms couldn't reach the back of him. "You're early today, did something happen?"

"You could say that, Shifu gave me a break from training." Po answered. "Then on my way here, I met this guy... turns out he's my biggest fan."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, I'm Mr. Ping." He greeted.

"It's an honor to meet you, and your son too." The dog replied, not even thinking about the fact that Po's father was a goose. He smelled the noodles coming from the back and almost drooled. "Oh wow, that smells amazing."

"That's the secret ingredient soup, would you like some?" Ping asked.

"Boy would I." He answered.

"That'll be 15 yuan." Of course he'd talk business.

"Dad!" Po argued.

"It's okay, I can pay for it." The dog handed Ping the money. "I actually heard of the noodles here, and I've been dying to try them."

"Where'd you come from anyway, you look a little young to be traveling." Po said as his father went to make a bowl.

"I'm sixteen, and I just came from the eastern province." He said. "It would've taken longer, but I got a ride from-!"

"Help, boars are attacking the valley!" Shouted a rabbit.

Right on cue, the boars came attacking with swords, frightening the villagers and threatening them. "Tremble in fear of the hoof boar clan!"

"Not these guys again." Po sighed, he saw how the dog was trembling in fear and gave a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I got this handled. Get ready to see pure awesomeness."

He ran right into the group of boars and started attacking with his unique panda style. The way he could move his own weight around and use it as a weapon was amazing, slaming a boar to the ground then sitting on him to knock him unconscious, it was just to awesome for words. Po had even blocked another boars punch, then he used his belly to launch the boar at the others, taking several of them out. "Whoa... so cool."

"Oh yeah, who's next?" Po taunted.

"T-There's no way we can win." A boar said.

"That's right, so you better give up and leave." He said.

"P-Po, help!" Dog looked to see that Mr. Ping had been taken hostage.

"Dad, leave him alone!" Po tried to save him, but two boars stood in his way. "Move it!"

"Not a chance, not if you don't want your dad hurt." Said a boar.

Po stood his ground, he knew that he couldn't do anything so there was no use fighting. "Stop it, leave him alone!"

Po looked at the dog, he held the sword in his hands like he was ready to fight, but he could tell he was scared by how he kept the sword in its sheath. "If you don't let Mr. Ping go, I'll have to make you."

They all stared at him with blank expressions until they finally burst into laughter. "You gotta be kidding, a kid like you is gonna beat us?"

"You can't even use a sword right, how can you possibly-!" Before the boar who held Mr. Ping could finish, the dog used his sword and whacked him right in the tenders. "U-Ugh!"

The boar dropped Ping and he quickly ran to the dog. "Thank you so much."

"No worries, but that was just a lucky shot." He saw the boar get back up and said, "Get away from here, quickly."

"I'll go get the five." Ping said as he ran off.

"What are you idiots waiting for, get the dog!" The boar demanded.

The boars that blocked Po's way soon turned and attacked the dog. "Quick, get out of here."

The boars were too quick, the dog couldn't run away, but Po could saw something quite surprising; as the boars attacked, the dog dodged their blades with amazing agility, though his gracefulness needed work. He jumped over a table to dodge a blade, but his bad balance caused him to fall and land on the boar, knocking him out. "Whoops, sorry about that."

The more he watched him dodged, the more Po noticed that the dog reminded him of himself. "Look out!"

The boar that the dog attacked before had managed to get him from behind and attack him with the back of his sword. The dog had lost his consciousness and fell. "That should show you, never mess with the hoof boar clan."

"No!" Po took out three of the boars near the dog and tried to wake him up, but there was no avail. "Come on, wake up. I didn't even get your name, so wake up."

"I don't think he's gonna wake up anytime soon." The boar smirked.

"He was just a kid, you didn't have to do that." Po growled.

"Either way, now we can finish where we left off."

Po stood up to fight again, but something happened; the dog slowly stood back up, his expression was blank and emotionless. "You're alright! Listen, you gotta run away from here while I-"

The dog raised his hand to silence Po, he then held his sword in a stance that looked like he was about to unsheath his sword. "Alright, go get them!"

All the boars surrounded them and attacked, but the dog reacted quicker and unsheathed his sword; the speed he unsheathed it was that of the gods, it unleashed a large burst of wind that turned into a tornado, the boars were sucked into the vaccum and were blown away. Po stared at the dog, it's hair blew in the wind and when he turned to look at him, he knew that it was the same person from his dream. "It is you."

The dog was silent, his eyes were emotionless and he soon fell to his knees until Po grabbed him. "H-Hey, are you okay? Hello?"

"...usa...agi."

"Huh?"

"Kusa... nagi." The dog finally fell unconscious in Po's arms.

"Po!" Tigress ran over to Po with the rest of the five. "Where are the boars, what happened?"

"It's hard to explain, but we need to get this guy to the jade palace." He said.
