I kind if got this idea after writing my other fic "All Thanks To A Lotus Flower"
Disclaimer: I don't own Kung Fu Panda
Why Mantis Hates Bandits And Flour
The Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five were all in the village, fighting some random bandits.
"SHOOKABOOYA!" Po cried out some weird new battle cry as he dropped onto a bandit's head.
"Shookabooya? Really, Po?" Crane groaned at the panda while dodging a swinging club.
"Yeah, I'm trying new battle-cries! Aren't they awesome?" Po grinned happily as if he wasn't holding onto a bandit and punching him in the face at the moment.
"No."
"Aw man!"
"Perhaps you could spend some more time fighting these guys instead of useless things to yell." Tigers growled, placing her paws on her hips to glare at the panda.
She only broke her stance to quickly kick an incoming bandit in the face before standing back like she was a second earlier.
"Fine…" Po groaned and they joined the others again.
They were doing great, in fact so great they had actually reached the point where Po suggested seeing who could beat the most bandits.
The Furious Five all refused, not in the mood to make their job into a childish game until a scream was heard.
Turning they saw one of the bandits towering over a cowering female ladybug.
And it wasn't just any ladybug but a ladybug that Mantis happened to have a crush on.
"Lan Mu!" Mantis cried and quickly kicked the bandit that was threatening her in the face, sending him flying.
"Hey, are you alright, babe?" Mantis asked as he reached towards the female bug who had her eyes squeezed shut in fear as she silently whimpered.
Just then the bandit finally came down and landed on a bag of flour, sending the white powder everywhere, including on Mantis, covering him from head to toe in white.
Lan Mu finally looked up, believing herself to be save but then she saw Mantis and since she didn't see what happened…
"AHHH! Ghost!" she screamed, going in another panic.
"W-what?! Wait, I'm not a ghost! I'm-" Mantis didn't get any farther then that as Lan Mu started smacking him on the head with her tiny purse.
It went on like that for a while until the rest of them finally cleared up all the other bandits and watched on in amusement for a while until Tigress had enough and explained everything to Lan Mu who had blushed, apologized a million times and quickly left in embarrassment.
"You okay, buddy?" Monkey asked Mantis who was lying on the ground.
Mantis slowly picked himself up and looked up at his friends.
"You guys?" his voice was monotone.
"Yes, Mantis?" Viper answered, leaning closer in worry.
"From now on I don't only hate bandits. From now on I hate bandits and flour." and with that he fainted.
"I got him." Monkey sighed as he picked the insect up and carefully placed him on his shoulder.
"Is he gonna be okay?" Po asked uncertainly.
"I hope so." Viper looked at the passed out bug.
"He'll be fine. now let's go home." Tigress dismissed and without waiting for anyone to say something else she started walking, obviously expecting the others to follow which they did.
"Don't worry about Mantis. We'll figure something out for him some other time." Crane took it upon himself to reasure the others.
They nodded in agreement and with that they all headed home.
The End
