I saw this movie and I absolutely loved it. I liked it so much I decided to take a chance at writing a story.

This is my idea for what could happen with that second peach tree seen growing at the end of the movie.

This is an action/adventure story, but there will be plenty Tipo (Tigress x Po) and maybe others.

I don't own Kung Fu Panda, just any OC that is in here. But don't worry, I will do my best to make sure that the OCs don't steal the spotlight.

This will be just a SHORT INTRO CHAPTER! Following chapters will be longer.

Anyways, enjoy!

Troubled Dreams

Two groups faced each other on a mountain. At the top stood five individuals: a tigress, a viper, a mantis, a crane, and a monkey. At the bottom was a mob of snarling animals with hooves and screeching birds: horses and hawks, they were called. Separate from these two groups was a lone figure, positioned between the two.

A cool night breeze blew across the mountain. It would have caused all those assembled to shiver, but the sheer awesomeness that radiated off the dude who stood in the middle of everybody was more than enough to warm the scene. The dude's aura was so great that he inspired his allies to great things, while at the same time demoralizing his foes. Who is this totally bodacious guy, you ask? Who could possibly be that awesome? Well, I'll tell you.

"My name is Po!" yelled out the dude in the center, a cocky smirk spreading across his attractive face. "Would all invaders who seek to harm our village please form a neat and orderly line so my friends and I can hand you your butts easier?" Po's awesome speech of awesomeness struck fear into the hearts of the horde assembled before him. However, their desire to conquer and destroy was stronger than their fear, so only a fourth of them fled in terror.

"I give those of you left credit. You're very brave to think you can stand before the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five."

"Or exceedingly foolish." Po looked to his left to see that Tigress had come up next to him. The panda laughed.

"That could be equally true, Tigress. But enough talk. Let's fight!" But as Po and the Furious Five launched themselves at the assembled horde, they suddenly disappeared. In their place stood the last person Po wished to see.

"Ta-Tai Lung?" The snow leopard smiled, his glistening fangs a sharp contrast to the darkness that surrounded the group.

"That's right, panda. It's me. You didn't think you could defeat the real Dragon Warrior with a simple finger hold, did you?" Po and the Furious Five assumed battle stances, ready to fight.

"He defeated you once, Tai Lung." said Tigress.

"Yeah, and he didn't have us with him then, either." agreed Mantis.

"Come quietly and save yourself some pain!" exclaimed Monkey.

"Fools! I love pain! Especially when it's somebody else's." As Tai Lung spoke, he assumed a stance of his own, but it wasn't one Po had ever seen. The snow leopard spread his arms out wide and brought his feet close together, closing his eyes as he did.

"You guys ever seen a stance like that? He looks kind of like a tree or something." Crane shook his head.

"Sorry, Po, but it's new to us." Suddenly, Tai Lung's eyes shot open. At the same time, roots shot up out of the ground and wrapped themselves around the Furious Five and Po. Everyone struggled to break free, but even Po's enormous strength could not break free from the snare. Tai Lung chuckled as he straightened from his stance and strode over to the trapped Po.

"Like it? It's a little trick I picked up." The snow leopard stopped in front of Po, a smile of pure malevolence spreading across his. Reaching out with one hand, Tai Lung grabbed Po by the throat. "Your time has come, you fat waste of air." As he spoke, Tai Lung unsheathed his claws. Everybody could only stare in horror as he brought them to bear. "Goodbye, 'Dragon Warrior'!" All present screamed as the claws rushed towards Po's face. Po watched in horror as death hurried to greet him. As the claws were about to make contact, a booming voice echoed across the land, a voice Po hadn't heard in a long time.

"Remember, young panda, that you are the Dragon Warrior. But a warrior doesn't have to fight alone. Allies come from the most unexpected places." Grand Master Oogway's voice faded. It was replaced by the sound of the screams of the Furious Five as Tai Lung's claws struck.

"No!" Po sat up in bed, panting hard. Quickly, the large panda ran his hands along his neck and face, making sure everything was still in place. When his fears had been assuaged, he flopped back down and took deep, calming breaths.

"It's alright, Po. Just chill out. It was just a nightmare. You probably ate one two many of Monkey's cookies last night." His self-assurances did little to boost his morale, however, and soon Po found himself sneaking off towards the pantry. But when he got there, he was surprised to discover that he wasn't hungry, which was weird considering he ate when he was upset. Leaning against the wall, Po reached up and scratched his ear.

"What now? I'm not hungry, so I guess I'll…train." Sighing, Po pushed himself away from the wall and made his way towards the training room.

"Maybe I'll feel better after I knock the punching bag around."

Well, there's Chapter 1. Again, it's short because it's an intro. Subsequent chapters will be at least twice as long.
