What up? I'm reaching a huge milestone here! This is my 200th fanfic! How awesome is that?

Anyways, this came out of my head sometime after seeing 'Kung Fu Panda 2' and after the whole summer of this idea in delay, I'm ready to post this fic. There are barely any Wolf Boss fics because he's one of my favorite new characters in KFP 2. So, I hope this might bring in more Wolf Boss fanfics in the future. This story is also dedicated to my friends; Joe 'Po' Navark, Tan-Tan Tanuki, LTspade and also a special dedication (don't be jealous) goes to vampie1031. Hope you like it.


Sometimes a Wolf Gets a Second Chance

by: Terrell James

Chapter 1: Change Within Yourself

Hours had passed by since the defeat of Lord Shen in Gongmen City as Masters Storming Ox and Croc went around looking for survivors to see if they had made it through this ordeal. Sadly, none of the wolf army made it, but they did hear some whimpering and heavy breathing coming in from behind. They turned around and saw Wolf Boss' body floating toward the river.

"He's alive?" asked Croc, surprisedly.

"But how can this be?" asked Storming Ox.

Soon enough, they walked towards the river and both of them pulled him out of the water and into shore. They weren't sure if he was dead, but the Soothsayer went in and heard his heart beating slowly and said, "He's still alive."

"I thought for sure he was killed by Shen." Croc added.

"Had it not been for the Dragon Warrior, he still would've killed all of us."

They knew she was right about that because Shen would've killed every single person and the wolf army should've been killed as a result after the leader's death. Soothsayer heard the wolf groan in pain and thought that she might be able to heal him herself. She looked at him and saw the blades that were on his shoulder and senses that it didn't reach somewhere fatal and she told them, "Send him to my home."

Croc and Storming Ox looked at her like she was crazy and Storming Ox asked, "To your home? After what he did to our city?"

"Yes."

"What if he kills you?"

"I have my ways. What he must do now is realize that what he did was very wrong and that he should learn to change himself. But it is entirely up to him to make that effort."

It was a very big thing to think about, but they realized that the Soothsayer is much more wiser than ever. Storming Ox looked at her and said, "We will accept your request."

"He's in your hands as you say." Croc added.

She looked at the Wolf Boss and decided to carry him back to her home, hoping to heal him completely. When she got back in the house, she laid him down on the floor and carefully took Shen's blades out of his shoulder. A few amounts of blood came out of his shoulder and she quickly took off his top armor and quickly wrapped him with bandages on his shoulder to stop the bleeding and added some acupunctures on his body and his face to relieve any injuries he had. After that, she fixed him some medicine tea to sooth his injury.

Minutes later, Wolf Boss groaned painfully as he opened his good eye and found himself in an abandoned house. He soon discovers it's the same house where he took part in the Panda Village Massacre. He tries to escape, but Soothsayer already knew he was up.

"If I hadn't have come and rescued you, I would've left you back there on the dock to accept your fate." Soothsayer told him.

Wolf Boss didn't quite get what she said and asked, "My fate?"

"Yes, your fate."

He looks at himself and sees himself acupunctured and bandaged all over his body and then he asked, "How come I'm still alive?"

Soothsayer showed him Shen's blades and he quickly discovered that she removed them from his shoulder. To his shock, the Soothsayer saved his life. She then asked, "What does that tell you?"

"You...you saved my life?"

"Yes, I did. I did not think that you would already accept your fate."

He couldn't quite understand why she managed to do it and then, as he stood up, he feels no pain at all. Then he looks up and he recognized where he was standing in. He asked, "Am I in...?"

"Yes. You are in one house that still stood in that massacre you attempted to destroy a long time ago."

He then reminisces that night at the Panda Village where he took place in that massacre and it resulted into one panda using his garden tool to take him down which ends up with losing his eye. And he stood in that very same house that he almost wanted to destroy along with the Dragon Warrior's family. He walks out of the house and as he looks around, all the other houses were of course gone except for this abandonded house where remained there for 30 years.

"Have you any memories about what you attempted to do? That young panda you planned to kill grew up to be the Dragon Warrior." Soothsayer explained.

Wolf Boss couldn't believe what she said and then turned to her and asked, "The panda? You're kidding, right?"

"Nope."

Wolf Boss panted heavily at that and he looked at his hands and those memories of every single bad thing he did was all for Shen, but after finding out that he didn't care for his wolf pack when he wanted to kill the Dragon Warrior, he felt betrayed in a sense that no matter what he did, he did it for Shen but for his own purposes. Like his 'master' wanted everything for himself and less for others. He then walked towards the river, looked at his reflection and he sees images of all the savage things he did in the past with his pack and then went back to himself and noticed that he was a monster.

He lowered his head down and asked, "What have I become?"

"You have become a savage wolf who had a desire to make every innocent person's life miserable with Shen's commands. He never cared about your pack...nor anyone else. He only cared about himself."

"I always suspected that. It feels like I've been lied to, deceived and betrayed...by my own master. He used to do everything for me and my pack. Now I saw him for who he really is and i couldn't even save my pack in time."

"You died for them before they actually died for you...but you survived. You are the only wolf still standing."

The pack entered his mind and he didn't know whethere they were alive or were they dead. He looked back on her and asked, "My pack...did they make it?"

Soothsayer kept silent about it and she didn't want to tell him that they didn't make it. He sighed mournfully and asked, in a broken voice, "They're dead...aren't they?"

She nodded her head in sorrow and all he could do was just keep silent and just sat down on the ground, feeling an extreme amount of guilt, sorrow and deceit that he risked his life for his pack and then the rest of his army were killed and he was the only one alive. He lowered his head down because he didn't want the Soothsayer to see him cry, which he always considered weak.

"You might be able to change all of that if you can commit to the one thing you must be able to do...leave behind everything you were and move forward."

The wolf didn't bother to look at her, but he did hear what she was saying. He just wallowed around his own guilt and asked, tearfully, "How can I change after what I did?"

"You've already acknowledged what you have done. The only thing you can do is make things right."

"What do I have to do?"

"You must go to where the Dragon Warrior lives and ask for forgiveness."

He turned to her and he scoffed and told her, "After what I did to him and his family, I don't think he'll ever forgive me."

"I bet he will."

"How do you know?"

"I have helped him find inner peace within himself."

The thought rolled into his mind and thought to himself, 'How did that panda actually manage to kill Shen? How am I still alive? Can inner peace be the only way to help me?'

He stood up for a minute, looked at his shoulder and realized that he did what he had to do...refuse to take one order from Shen to fire the cannons at the Dragon Warrior while the rest of the pack were in the way. He would've killed his entire clan had he not spared his life. He blinked his eye and asked, "What's the panda's name?"

"Po."

He thought twice about it and decided that to take what Soothsayer said and he's hoping that he might accept his forgiveness to prove that he's a changed wolf. He looked at her and said, "Where is this place?"

"The Valley of Peace."

That place she mentioned sunk his heart immediately because it's that same place that he and his wolves raided the Music Village. She then told him, "It's up to you."

He knew he had a choice to make-stay in the past forever or move forward with his life with a change of heart. He knew the Soothsayer saved him from death and they he's still alive. He turned to her and said, "I'm willing to make things right. Had you not came here to save me, I would've died in an instant."

"So are you willing to get a second chance?"

The wolf nodded his head and said, "I am."

"Good."

He looks up to the sky and said, "I'm willing to change my ways and be a better person. I don't know what second chances feels like, but I'm willing to give it a try...for my pack."


This is only the beginning. Stick around for this awesome story. You think the Wolf Boss will accept his apology? Who knows? Only one way to find out is to wait for the next chapter!
