Outside of the Valley of Peace a water buffalo soldier walks around his post on the border. Suddenly, a grey owl hits the back of his head.
Soldier: Ah!
The owl lets out a call. The soldier walks over to the edge of the wall. A hook comes flying up, followed by many more.
Soldier: *running back to his post* We're under attack! Light the signal!
The door opens, revealing a couple of bandits.
The soldier climbs up the ladder. A muscular snow leopard appears before him.
Soldier: *lighting the signal with a torch, while staring at the snow leopard; other signals go on all the way along the border* Now the whole valley knows you're here, Tai Lung.
Tai Lung: *picking up a flag of peace symbol and toasting it in the signal fire* Perfect.
In the Valley...
Tigress and the others of the five walk into the Jade Palace and bow.
Tigress: Meister Shifu, the bandits have crossed our northern border.
Zeng: Impossible! No Bandit can get through the border! *is silenced with a raised hand from Shifu*
Tigress: Tai Lung is leading them.
Shifu looked serious.
Tigress: We will protect you and the palace.
Shifu: No! Protect the valley and not me. Zeng!
Zeng: Yes, Master Shifu.
Shifu: Send a message to the Dragon Warrior. He should prepare for the fight.
Tigress: Forgive me, Master Shifu, but I believe we Five can stop him.
Shifu: I won't take any chances, Tigress. A single grain of sand can tip the scale. One warrior may be the difference between victory and defeat.
