A/N : READ THIS BEFORE READING! The first handful of paragraphs WILL have Kung Fu Panda 3 spoilers. Don't read them if you haven't watched it and don't want to be spoiled. However, after the dash, you should be good. The biggest spoilers you will find throughout the chapters is where the panda's live afterwards and the new character's names/personalities. If anything changes, I'll tell you in the authors note. Otherwise enjoy reading.
Yes guys, it's another amnesia fic. Probably with some common cliches. But, I have added my own spin to it & hopefully you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Plus I'm pretty sure this is the first fic with Po as the one getting amnesia.
The Valley of Peace was just as its name directed -peaceful. For it was protected day and night by the legendary Dragon Warrior and Furious Five.
Together, they were unstoppable. And the valley's constant supervision only grew once Po, the Dragon Warrior, a panda raised by a goose, had found his birth father. Along with a village of pandas.
Master Tigress, the hardcore member of the Furious Five, assisted him with training the pandas. Po and her were practically best friends, though she'd never admit to it. The others had been taken by the nearly unstoppable Kai. But together, Po got the chi needed to defeat him, freeing all the Kung fu masters from his wrath.
Master Shifu, Master Crane, Master Viper, Master Monkey, and Master Mantis, just to name a few. Those were the ones closest to Po who had gotten attacked. Things began settling down shortly after, and absolutely nothing was better then it was now. All the pandas moved to the Valley of Peace, helping to protect it and master their own Kung fu skills a few times a week.
Things were going great. Until they weren't.
Master Tigress rushed up the thousand's flights of Jade Palace stairs, something that would seem trenderous to any other, but to her, it was one of the easiest things in the world. She had grown up in the Jade Palace and was accustomed to the climb. In fact, she frequently jogged up and down them, her record at 3 minutes.
"How is he?" The familiar entrance doors were shoved aside by her strong, firm paws, where she was greeted by most the Jade Palace masters, practically family at that point.
Crane was the first to respond, but unfortunately it wasn't the answer she hoped. "We don't know."
Groaning, Tigress hesitantly walked over to them, a clear frown edging her face. "Where's Master Shifu?"
"Talking to one of the medics." Viper explained, her tongue flicking outwards. "I wouldn't question him. He promised to tell us what's going on once he's done."
Tigress nodded in understanding. Though her mind was drained with worry for Po, she couldn't miss the snide comment made by Mantis; "Took ya' long enough to get here."
Tigress looked at him, as though looks could kill, but before she could begin any bodily harm, Viper stepped in front of them. She sent a hiss towards Mantis. "Stop it! Tigress was busy!" The snake scolded.
Tigress' mind flashed back to what she indeed was busy with -entertaining a toddler, Lei Lei. The baby panda had seemingly taken a liking to her and Tigress felt the same way. Still, it didn't allow the guilt to wrench off her face when thinking about the Dragon Warrior injured. If she had been there.. Maybe the bandits could have been stopped. Maybe there wouldn't have been a chance for Po to bang his head in the first place.
"I'd suggest being quiet." Threatened Tigress, rolling the insult supposedly off.
Grumbling under his breath, Mantis soon listened, allowing Tigress time to sort out her own inner thoughts.
"Students." A stern voice greeted them, with each master bowing in respect as Shifu stepped forward.
"How is he?" The feline asked within a second. Soon receiving glances from her allies, she mumbled an apology to her master and adopted father.
"Po will be fine." Master Shifu announced, allowing each Kung fu master a relieved breath. "However.." Tigress could feel her shoulders tense up. "He still remains unconscious. Once he gets up, I'll send for further diagnostics if anythings wrong."
"I'll go tell his dad's." Monkey explained. Though he was ready to go, he waited for Shifu's answer, as he knew the old Kung fu master would surely have an idea on what sort of action to take.
The grandmaster seemed to ponder this for a moment before firmly pressing on. "Don't. We can't take any chances of word spreading that the Dragon Warrior is injured. Our problem would only rise."
"Problem?" Crane asked, with a frown.
"What about the valley?" Viper asked persistently. "Don't you think someone's bound to notice Po's not fighting?" Crane sent her a look, showing that he still expected a further elaboration on what the further problem could possibly be.
"I'm hoping it won't be too long until he wakes. And when he does, if needed, we'll send for a medic. It's his choice of what to do once he's recovered. He is your master too now."
Exchanging looks, the Five soon realized Shifu was walking away.
"We can't even tell his dad's?" Monkey confirmed, astonished. "Pretttty sure they'd want to know. I mean, he just met his birth dad, come on!"
"Listen to Master Shifu." Tigress stated. She stood straighter. "He knows what best course of action to take. Besides the bandits you've encountered are still out there. We can't take any chances."
2days passed and although the Dragon Warrior hadn't woken up, he seemed to be getting better. Bruises faded and cuts healed. Tigress found herself often passing by his room to check. However, though she was glad he appeared to be recovering, she missed his constant laughter throughout the Jade Palace and couldn't help but to feel this was still partially her fault.
Training the pandas had stayed as scheduled and she was greatful for that. Nonetheless, the Five found themselve having lots of spare time. Tigress used it as an opportunity to train or chase around Lei Lei.
However, questioning eyes knew something was up. Tigress constantly took her anger to the training room, increasing work on the students and herself.
Even every so often, Mei Mei would comment about it, but Viper quickly ushered the self named 'nunchuck chick' to a different direction. The rest of the five all delt with it in different ways but constantly confessing how she hoped Po was alright was not up Tigress' ally.
Although the Five didn't completely agree with keeping Po's injuries from the valley, they understood the need too. By any chance, if word got out the Dragon Warrior was unable to fight, enemies would come from countries over. So they kept it under wraps until Po's complete recovery, which proved to be easier said then done.
The pouring rain kept Tigress from a sound sleep. Tossing and turning, the hardcore warrior glanced at the stormy window with an eye roll. Rain was nice, peaceful even. But storms were a completely different story.
"Tigress?"
A soft feminine voice alerted the felines ears. One of the time her night vision came in handy, she was easily able to recongize Viper.
The snake slipped inside with a fragil sigh. "I couldn't sleep." She explained, gently. "I didn't think you could either. I'm gonna make some hot cocoa, do you want any?"
Tigress just nodded. Viper knew she did though and waited for the feline to slip out of bed, retreating to the kitchen.
"How have you been, lately?" Viper asked, breaking the rising tension.
"Alright. Better, but alright."
Bringing the cup to her lips, Viper nodded. "Don't blame yourself Tigress. Po wouldn't want you too." The snake nearly read her friends thoughts, causing Tigress to stare vaguely at her.
For a minute, Tigress looked as though she might argue, inform Viper that it was indeed her fault. However, she wasn't given the chance as a loud screaming soon followed throughout the Jade palace hallways.
Slamming the hot chocolate down, Viper and Tigress looked at each other widely. Darting back off to the barracks, Tigress was the first to stop in front of Po's room. Was he being attached? Already?
The screeching soon woke the drowsy masters who each had their own set of questions to ask what was going on. Before they got the chance for an answer, Tigress barged inside Po's room.
To her surprise, the screaming didn't halt at all and she soon noticed Po, slipping back in fear. Tigress glanced around. She didn't even recongize a thief. In fact, the pandas' screaming only seemed to increase as they arrived.
"Po!" She heard Monkey yell. "Po! Buddy! Calm yourself!"
He did the exact opposite. And began backing away as they came closer.
Mantis began to make a game out of it and inched closer, threatening to make the Dragon Warrior tremble.
"Po, be quiet!" Tigress instructed in a firm, but relieved tone. Their eyes locked for a few seconds before he nodded slowly. Amazingly, the panda seemed to calm down somewhat. However, he still appeared to shake and shudder at the sight of the Five which Tigress knew she couldn't control.
"Will someone get him an ice pack?" The tiger master asked more as a command then a question. Crane nodded and quickly took off.
"I THINK MY EAR DRUMS MAY BE BLEEDING!" Mantis screeched, clutching his head. Viper hissed at him, before turning back quietly to Po.
"Po. Shhhh, shh, shh. Why are you screaming?"
"I- Y-you - t-the r-r-r-"
"He's not talking straight." Monkey commented, as though that wasn't already obvious.
Within a few more seconds, Crane rushed back in the room with an ice pack and cup of water. Tigress appraised his quick thinking but didn't hesitate to give both to Po.
"Now, don't scream." Tigress spoke as gentle as she could. "But inform us why you did before." She held the ice pack to his head so it wouldn't fall.
"W-w-where am I?"
Crane and Viper exchanged looks. "Your in the Jade Palace." The snake explained, slithering forward. "Po, how do you feel? You took a hard hit."
"Y-you hit me?" Po back away, even from Tigress and quickly pulled the blanket up further.
"Wha-no! I would never!"
"Who are you?!" Po interrupted.
Sending the Dragon Warrior a wide eyed glance, Viper slowly responded; "..Viper. Po, lay back down. Take deep breaths, get your thoughts toget-"
"-You know who I am, right buddy?" Monkey put his hand up, in hopes for a high five, but once Po store at him unconvinced, he slowly dropped it down with disbelief.
Mantis snickered before returning to the panda's bedside. "You know who I am. Right?"
When Po shook his head, Mantis' mouth dropped open with shock as well. He made the cu cu sign next to Crane, which the bird told him not to mock Po.
"I'm going to get Master Shifu." Tigress explained with an exasperated sigh. "Something is clearly wrong with him."
"I'm Mantis, this is Monkey, that's Viper, there's Crane, and that's Ti-"
"-Tigress." Po finished her name, gaining the felines attention. She turned to the doorway with a confused arched glance.
"You know my name? How?"
"Duh Ti, in not an idiot." Rolling his eyes, the Dragon warrior sat up. "...I think I know who my own wife is."
