The beginning of worries

"HIYA!" Po said as he kicked the wooden dummy hard. When he was finished he did a little victory dance. "Oh ya! Who's bodacious and awesome?!" He shouted. Monkey, Crane, and Tigress all shook their heads, but Tigress was the first speak
"Po do you never take anything seriously?" She asked rhetorically but Po answered anyway.
"Come on, Tigress. There's a time to celebrate every time." He explained.
"Yeah but you seem to celebrate every time! I don't think there has been a time when you dead serious." Crane replied. Po stared at them for a while and then chuckled.
"if you only knew me." He said under his breath.
"What was that?" Tigress asked.
"Nothing. Just a thought in the wind," he answered, " speaking of which, I haven't seen Zeng in a long time."
"He went on vacation. It's the servant's festival today." Monkey replied. Po seemed emotionless for a moment then smiled again. He and the others walked outside where Viper and Mantis were training with Master Shifu. Unfortunately, Po accidentally bumped into Tigress on the steps landing on top of her.
"Oh sorry, Tigress." Po apologized but Tigress was quick to criticize.
"That's another thing, you are so clumsy sometimes. I guess it because of all that fat weight you carry around." She said. Monkey and Crane were astonished that she would say something like that, but Po just s shrugged it off and looked over to Shifu. He looked like he was thinking about something.
"Master Shifu is something wrong?" He asked kindly
"Not now Po I'm trying to figure out this dream I had." Shifu replied Rubbing his head. the rest now were gathered around him.
"Well, if you tell us maybe one of us can figure it out." Shifu glared at Po," it's possible." Po assured. Shifu sighed knowing that Po would must likely find out anyway.
"Very well. I was in this town that wasn't far from here. I went into a maximum prison where the guard were mechanical. I went pass them and saw this lowly person in the cell. He was the only one in the entire prison, and he looked up at me but I could see his face for he had on a brown cloak. He looked at me and said 'help me and I show you the truth of the Lions.'" he finally finished and looked at Po with a smirk. "Now Po do you know the meaning of the dream?"
Everybody thought that Po would nervously laugh it off, but they saw different. Po's face seemed angry and his smile had faded away. His eyes were narrow and quite frankly Shifu was a little frightened brut his look. "Well Po," Tigress spoke after a long period of silence. Po just looked away from the group.
"I don't know what it means," he answered flatly.
"He's just saying that because he knows that it means he'll have to go back to his old job." Said a voice from behind the group. Everyone looked back to see a goose in a black outfit with a mask covering his eyes. He had a black Chinese hat and a bow and a set of arrows with him. He was leaning against the gates of the Palace.
"Don't you have to be somewhere, Dead," Po snarled.
"Well, I actually do. And now I'm here," the goose said with a smiled but Po still questioned.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"You know this guy?" Monkey asked.
"Of he knows," the goose said," everybody knows me." Po just growl which surprised everyone.
"What are you doing here, Dead Shot?" Po asked again slowly.
"whoa whoa. Dead Shot? As in the Dead Shot Duck? The best long-range, short-range, and hand-to-hand archer there was?!" Asked Mantis amazed. The goose smiled.
"The one and only." Shifu looked at Po
"Po you never mentioned that you knew Dead Shot Duck." He said
"There a LOT of stuff you don't know about me. You guys don't know me." he said flatly and quite sadly. Po returned his gaze to Dead Shot. "I'll ask you again."
"Calm down, White Blood. I'm here to deliver a message from the Master, but I see that you already got the message."he said as he looked at Shifu. "You have to get this man from prison, please. It is important that you do."
"Where is he?" asked Po.
"Po we don't know if this man is a criminal or an assassin. Maybe he was put in prison for a reason." Tigress protested. Po emotionlessly spoke.
"I know this man. We have to get him out, and I plan to get him out. Whether or not you will follow your own decision, but as for me I will go." Everyone looked at him. Shifu sighed.
"Then we have to go. The rest of you go with Po to free this man. Be careful." he ordered as his students bowed.
"Yes master." they said in unison and off they were. Po and Dead Shot Duck lead the way. Everyone was surprised that Po was not blabbering as he usually does. Mantis thought to make conversion.
"So, Po, how do you know Dead Shot Duck, the man who could make any shot?" Po didn't turn.
"He and I did some work together a long time ago." he said flatly. Mantis was still curious.
"And Mr. Dead Shot Duck...Sir. Why did you disappear?" He asked the goose.
"First of all, I'm ok with you guys just calling me Dead Shot. Second of all, there was no reason for me anymore. You guys came around and I found another way to serve and help people." Dead Shot laughed. It began to become dark when they came to the jail. Po and the others ducked to stay out of sight. There were two great gators that didn't blink nor flinch. Po looked at Dead Shot and both of them nodded.
"You guys stay here. We'll be out before you know it." Po whispered but Tigress was concerned.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" She said worried. Dead Shot smiled at her waving one of his arrows.
"Don't worry I'll make sure he doesn't kill himself."
"Like you did in Mongolia?" Po said with a smirk.
"Hey!" he said offended, "that was an accident!" Po just slipped behind the tall bamboo as Dead Shot took to the skies. Suddenly, the two mechanical gators fell down with the strike of Dead Shot's arrows. Po opened the doors and went inside. He fought his way through the jail. These things were good but he was better. He punched one so hard that it clear the whole way down to the only prisoner. He was sitting in the dark corner of the room when he heard all the commotion. Po broke the bars and told him to follow him. The prisoner in the brown cloak ran with Po outside into the forest. When they were a good way's out, they stopped, panting. The Furious Five came trailing behind.
"Looks like you did good Po." Viper said patting him on the back. She looked to the cloaked man who's face was covered. "And who would you be?" At this the stranger pulled down his hood. Every one saw that he was a rat that stood up to Po's neck. He still held the cloak close to him as his tail appeared from underneath. The slave was about to say something, but Po spoke.
"That's not important. Right now we need to get out of here. Don't worry," He spoke to the rat now, " We'll care for you." The rat smiled. They ran into a mad dash back home. Then Crane remembered Dead Shot.
"What about Dead Shot?" He asked.
"Don't worry about him," Po replied still running," He's the least of our worries."
I admit this one will seem a little bizarre. Well what do you think? Good, Bad, In between, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Yes that is a word.
