MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! HERE WE HAVE AN HOLIDAY ONE-SHOT THAT WILL OCCUR A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE "OUT OF IDEAS". AND MARTIN MOVED IN THE JADE PALACE, BEFRIENDED EVERYONE AND DEFENDED A VILLAGE FROM BANDIT INVASION. NOW, HE'S A FRIEND OF THE FIVE, PO AND MASTER SHIFU. BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HIM...
It was the famous winter fest at the Valley of Peace. In the Jade palace was the night when all kung fu masters will arrive at the palace. Since Martin was absent for few days because he needed to get home in his dimension for Christmas, he had just arrived at the palace courtyard. He was wearing white hooded long sleeved shirt, black pants and black gloves( unusual for ancient China). And on his back was a logo of Team Airbourne: red heart with a dagger vertically stabbed in it, with a pair of wings attached to the handle of dagger, and a viper snake wrapping around the handle. He also had his sword on his back. He gripped the door knot, twisted it, and entered the hall of heroes. He entered just as Po started to stand up to begin his speech. He now had everyone's attention as he walked slowly. His outfit was weird, if not menacing. He walked up to the table, and rose up his head. It was serious. Very serious. As he spotted Po, the five, master Shifu, and some other masters including Master Thundering Rhino, Master Storming Ox, and Master Croc, staring at him. His age, look, personality and outfit, was unusual, in good way. But if you ask Po, he would say:"Cool".
Then he finally spoke up.
"I'm sorry. I was put on hold. My team had an problem and it will not show up. They said "Merry Christmas" to you, but you won't understand it. It's not your religion..."
Everyone had confused looks, but they shake it off. Then Master Shifu spoke up.
"Well good evening, Martin. I see you got ready for winter..." he glanced at Martin's outfit.
"That's because i don't have fur... Remember?." there was a moment of awkward silence. Then Master Rhino spoke up.
" Master Shifu told us about your "adventures"... It's an interesting story... But about your skills... Is it true?"
" Yes, indeed... Why?"
" Uhh... it's nothing... Po, could you please continue? " Po then got up and continued. But then Martin felt something... It was strange... Like he didn't made something important... Then his mind became isolated.
Martin's POV
Damn... what is this, like...i missed something? Something important is unfulfilled... Something deep...
It was all good. I had made everything to complete my plans. I got here, befriended all, upgraded my skills, defeated that Owl...
Wait...
...No...
Normal POV
Martin suddenly got up from the table, mumbled a quick " excuse me" and walked of. He ignored all calls and leaved the building, leaving a bunch of stunned masters.
Once outside, he started to breathe hard, started holding his head with his hands, and cursed all small things that had gone wrong.
It was clear now. He got a familiar chi reading that had got stronger than the last time he felt it. About 50 miles, in the West mountains...
Then, a 2nd problem...
Two souls, so close yet so far... That far that he couldn't understand it. It looked so better, but if someone take a better look, he could see that they are too far. And it was all his fault... but how? Where it had gone so wrong?
He then saw Po rushing out of Palace.
"Hey... What happened?" (Martin)
"Nothing... gotta go... And hey, are you OK? " (Po)
"Well...let's say i'm OK, but have something empty in my soul,and i sense a grieve danger... In a shape of a big rock hanging above my head..." (Martin)
" Uh... can i help?" (Po)
" Yea... Kill Fenghuang and make Viper and Crane a two lovers..." (Martin)
"Oh well... it will be hard... But i'll try if you want... But Fenghuang is in prison..." (Po)
" No... She isn't" (Martin)
"What!?" (Po)
"No... Just forget all that i said and go..." (Martin)
"OK..." (Po)
As Martin watched Po rush off, he started to think. He will find out what had gone wrong only if he rewind all things that had happened in past 3 months...
" No... I wasn't ready for my new life..."
