Dan96kid here with a new story. This has got to be crazy, but I figured I should do a cross-over between Kung Fu Panda and TRON. This will feature a combination of stuff from the 1981 film "TRON", the game TRON 2.0, and the 2011 film TRON: Legacy. I have noticed that there are not very many Kung Fu Panda stories with a sci-fi feel. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I had fun writing it.
Disclaimer: Kung Fu Panda is owned by DREAMWORKS, TRON is owned by Disney, ALaDOS is owned be me.
Kung Fu Panda: Digital Frontier
Chapter 1: Glitch
"Try again, panda.". "How many times do I have to do this?". "Until you get it right. This is your fiftieth try, Po.". This is the average day of training for Po, a panda chosen to be the Dragon Warrior by Master Oogway. Po is practicing in the gauntlet of warriors with Master Shifu, a red panda. Po is learning how to avoid getting hit while surrounded by enemies. As he starts moving around while the wooden warriors spin, one of them strikes Po in the left shoulder. A pop is heard as Po's left arm stops working. The impact site starts leaking out phenumatic/hydraulic oil. "Oooh, my left arm. I can't move my left arm!" said Po as he stood up, his left arm is stuck in a blocking position. Po tries to move his left shoulder. As he tries, a crack is heard, followed by a pop as a metal shoulder strut shoots out of Po's left shoulder, wedging itself in the head of a wooden warrior. Po's left arm is now dislocated from the shoulder. "Uh oh" said Po as he looked at the hole on the back of his left shoulder. "I think you've done enough Po. We should fix that shoulder." said Shifu as he pried the shoulder strut out of the head of a wooden warrior. They walked over to an elevator. They were soon inside of an underground facility located directly below the Jade Palace. "ALaDOS, some kind of metal rod shot out of Po's shoulder." said Shifu. "Shifu, that metal rod is called a shoulder strut." said the facility's AI, ALaDOS. ALaDOS is short for Artificial Lifeform and Disk Operating System. (ALaDOS is inspired by GLaDOS from Portal) A door opened up to reveal a humanoid figure. The figure is slightly taller than Tigress, and looks like a cyborg. The figure walked over to Po and inspected his shoulders before saying "The joint locks for Po's left shoulder malfunctioned. Po, if your shoulder locks up, don't try to move it. Moving it puts strain on the connector bolts, potentially causing them to fail. You put too much strain on the left shoulder strut, causing it's connector bolts to snap, and launching the shoulder strut out.". Shifu asked "ALaDOS, how do you fix this?". The figure replied "It requires me to disassemble his left shoulder, reset the joint locks, and bolt the shoulder strut back in place.". The figure is ALaDOS's recently built humanoid body, allowing her to travel outside the facility. She is normally within the facility's mainframe. With her humanoid body, she can now exist in a physical form rather then as a computer AI. She leads Shifu and Po to a room. The room's floor is littered with various robotic parts, such as some of the parts from Shifu's old body, a discarded hydraulic piston from Monkey's arm, and Tai Lung's partially disassembled right arm that was blown off by Shen. In the center of the room is what looks like a dentist's chair. ALaDOS instructed Po to sit in the chair. As he did, a small device plugged into a data socket on the back of his head, disabling all non-vital systems. The vital systems are the power system, the cooling system, and the fuel system. The power system is like a miniature power grid. Inside Po's chest is an energy reactor core surrounded by auxiliary cores and breeder reactors. These generate power that is distributed throughout his body. The cooling system prevents Po's internal body temperature from reaching critical levels. If the temperature goes critical, internal body components start to melt, and the power core runs the risk of exploding. The fuel system turns food into raw energy that is used to sustain the cooling and power systems. The energy is stored as a yellowish gel in the lower abdomen. When needed, some of the gel is converted into energy. There is a byproduct that builds up in waste storage tanks. When the tanks are full, they send a drainage request to the brain. ALaDOS starts the process by touching several different points on Po's left shoulder, opening seem lines in his skin. The skin is peeled off, revealing the internal workings of the shoulder. ALaDOS inspects the damage. Po's left arm is partially disconnected from the shoulder. ALaDOS starts to reset the joint locks, but one joint lock won't reset. "The lower vertical joint lock is shot, I need to replace..." ALaDOS was cut off when her voice started to become warped. An error message popped up on a computer screen saying "Warning: The vocal processor has encountered a fatal error and needs to be restarted". ALaDOS sent a reset command to her vocal processor, fixing it, before saying "As I was saying, the low...". She was cut off again when the computer screen turned blue, AKA the Blue Screen of Death. "Oh no, my systems are starting to encounter technical issues. I need to do a full mainframe reboot." said ALaDOS, before shutting down. After a few minutes, ALaDOS came back on and continued to fix Po's left shoulder. Unknown to everyone, a computer virus got into the Jade Palace Mainframe through a breach in the firewall.
