A MYSTERIOUS WARRIOR treks across the rugged landscape.
"Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose Kung Fu skills were the stuff of legend."
The warrior, his identity hidden beneath his flowing robe and wide-brimmed hat, gnaws on a staff of bamboo.
"He traveled the land in search of worthy foes."
The warrior sits at a table drinking tea and gnawing on his bamboo. The door BLASTS open. The MANCHU GANG rushes in and surrounds him.
"I see you like to CHEW!" The gang boss said to the warrior "Maybe you should chew on my FIST!" The Boss punches the table.
"The warrior said nothing for his mouth was full. Then, he swallowed."
He swallows.
"And then, he spoke."
"Enough talk. Let's FIGHT! SHASHABOOEY!"
WHAM! The warrior delivers a punch and the whole gang goes flying.
"He was so deadly in fact that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness."
The gang members blindly flail about.
"MY EYES!" screamed a ninja cat.
"HE'S TOO AWESOME!" A croc said
The female Bunny swooned "And ATTRACTIVE!"
"How can we repay you?" The male bunny said gratfully.
"There is no charge for awesomeness, or attractiveness."
ONE HUNDRED ASSASSINS appear and surround the warrior.
The entire bar swells, packed to the rafters with ninjas.
"KABLOOEY!" The Warrior cried
The roof EXPLODES and a cloud of ninjas erupts into the sky. Like a tornado, the warrior spins and knocks them all down.
"It mattered not how many foes he faced. They were no match for his bodacity."
The warrior beats up a thousand ninjas, delivering his final blow while doing a split between two trees. The warrior stands amongst a field of vanquished foes as god- rays shine down upon him.
"Never before had a panda been so feared... and so loved. Even the most heroic heroes in all of China, the Furious Six, bowed in respect to this great master."
"We should hang out." Monkey said to the warrior
"Agreed."
As the Six salute the warrior, he turns to see more bandits approaching. The Six strike an attack pose. The warrior brandishes a shiny green sword and leaps off the mountain into the sea of bandits.
"But hanging out would have to wait. `Cause when you're facing the ten thousand demons of Mountain, there's only one thing that matters. And that's-"
In mid air, the Six talk to the warrior in a strange voice.
"Po! Get up!" came from Monkey
"You'll be late for work!" master Lin Lin said in a strange voice just like Moneys
"Whu?"
Po lands hard on the floor. He tries to clear his head and wake up.
"Po! Get up!" Mr. Pings voice came from down stairs.
Po's room is filled with various kung fu posters (including a poster featuring all of the Six) and souvenirs, and a wooden version of the Sword of Heroes (the green sword). Po SIGHS. He attempts to kick himself to his feet but alas, his belly is too worthy a foe.
"Po! What are you doing up there?" Mr. Ping's voice came again.
"Uh, nothing!"
Po hops to his feet, imitating his Kung Fu action figures.
"Monkey! Mantis! Crane! Viper! Lin Lin! Tigress! Rowrrrr..."
OUTSIDE on the balcony of the neighboring house, a pig watering flowers stares at Po. Po tries to play it cool and then quickly ducks out of sight.
"Po! Let's go! You're late for work!"
"Coming!" Po called down to his dad.
He takes a ninja star from his floor and chucks it at the wall. It bounces off. He throws the star again, but it bounces off again. He picks it up and heads downstairs. He trips and falls the rest of the way.
Po falls flat on his face on the kitchen floor. A panda-shaped shadow looms over Po.
"Sorry, Dad."
"Sorry doesn't make the noodles." Reveal that the shadow is actually caused by a basket being carried by a small DUCK. This is PO'S DAD. Po gets to work, which is not easy since the kitchen's not really made for a panda his size."What were you doing up there? All that noise."
"Oh, nothing. Just had a crazy dream."
He gets back to work.
"About what?" His dad asked his one and only child
"Huh?"
"The dream. What were you dreaming about?" His dad asked once again.
"What was I... eh, I was dreaming about uh... heh..." is he going to admit his dream? He hides his throwing star behind his back. "Noodles."
THOK. Dad stops chopping vegetables. "Noodles. You were really dreaming about noodles?"
"Uh, yeah. What else would I be dreaming about?" Po hands a noodle bowl to a customer, then realizes his throwing star is sitting in it. "Careful, that soup is... sharp!" Po said to the customer.
"Oh, happy day! My son, finally having the noodle dream!" He throws his arms around Po."You don't know how long I have been waiting for this moment." When Dad pulls out of the hug, Po is now wearing a noodle apron. "This is a sign, Po!"
Po looks at the apron nervously - what has he gotten himself into?
"Uh...a sign of what?"
"You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient of my "Secret Ingredient Soup." And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant, just as I took it over from my father, who took it over from his father, who won it from a friend in a game of mahjong." Mr. Ping said pointing to the pictures while talking.
"Dad Dad Dad, it was just a dream."
"No, it was the dream. We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins."
Po looked at the side trying to think of something
"But Dad, didn't you ever, I dunno, want to do something else? Something besides noodles?"
"Actually..." Po looks surprised."When I was young and crazy..." Dad gets a wistful look in his eyes. "I thought about running away and learning how to make tofu."
"So why didn't you?!"
"Oh, because it was a stupid dream. Can you imagine, me making tofu?" Mr. Ping laughs at the thought " No. We all have our place in this world. Mine is here. And yours is-"
"I know. Is here." Po sighed
"No, it's at tables two, Six, seven, and twelve." He loads Po's arms with bowls of soup. "Service with a smile!"
A GONG sounds in the distance. Po looks out the window at the distant JADE PALACE.
End next to palace on an old red panda playing a FLUTE. He is surrounded by the bushes and trees that nestle between the Palace buildings. Stealthy dark shapes move in the foreground. Back on Shifu, still playing. He seems oblivious. Six figures explode from the undergrowth simultaneously, diving on Shifu.
Shifu moves like lightning - the flute now wielded like a staff - he deflects, blocks, dodges, parries - the attackers go flying - They roll and pick themselves up, turning to face Shifu, who is now standing - poised - ready for their next move.
"Well done, students... if you were trying to disappoint me." He uses his flute to correct the Six's technique. "Tigress, you need more ferocity. Monkey, greater speed." Each of the Six bows respectfully as their name is mentioned. "Crane - height. Viper - -"
Shifu suddenly points the flute at a scared PALACE GOOSE.
"Master Shifu!"
"What?!" Shifu asked impatiently
"Aah! It's Master Oogway. He wants to see you." Zeng said looks up, concerned.
Candles, incense, and smoke fill the room. The door bursts open, the candles flicker. Shifu enters.
"Master Oogway? You summoned me." Shifu said bows. Then looks up without unbowing. "Is something wrong?"
Master Oogway was a wise, old tortoise. "Why must something be wrong for me to want to see my old friend?"
"So... nothing's wrong?" Shifu asked uncertian
"Well, I didn't say that." Shifu looks up, concerned. Oogway opens his mouth... and blows out a candle. And another candle. And another. Finally, Shifu uses his Kung Fu to blow them all out. Oogway smiles knowingly.
"You were saying?" Shifu asked with his hands behind his back.
"I have had a vision... Tai Lung will return and he will also want Lin Lin" They both heard a gasp from behind a colum, out came a White tiger with crystal blue eyes and wore the same thing as tigress but instead of red, it's blue.
"Do not was young warrior" Shifu said bringing her forward, infront of Oogway where Oogway took her hand as he continued for his friend "we are going to find te Dragon Warrior and He or she will protect both you and the valley."
Lin Lin nodded but it was still easy to tell she was went out to tell the rest that they were going to see who is the Dragon Warrior and Shifu looked down
"Something wrong old friend?" Oogway asked.
Shifu sighed and looked up "It's just that i regret making her be around Tai Lung wen she was younger and now he's too attached to her."
Oogway put his claw/hand on Shifu's shoulder and smiled.
