You guys thought this story was done, didn't you? Well, no- actually I have intended to redo the ending for awhile now, but I thought why not revamp this thing all together? The ending was . . . confusing and unnecessary. It introduced a character or two that didn't belong and in the end the story really didn't accomplish anything. The characters learned nothing, no lesson. The story itself was rushed, put out in just a few weeks. It didn't have time to develop and I didn't have time to make it the best it could be. I am going to revamp this thing, you won't see too much of a chance till later in the story. there will be a progress meter . . . thing in the story description above, enjoy.

Po, Shifu, and Tigress sat in a meditative pose, Po was fidgeting. "Ugh," He had enough. "can't we just wake her?"

Tigress rolled her eyes. Of course, he was referring to the young tiger girl that had fallen through a hole in the sky. Shifu had called it a temperance portal. Something about time travel. She had always thought that time travel was just a fool's dream, a corrupted legend.

Shifu shook his head, "Of course not, we don't know when or where she is from. Or even why she came back. She could be dangerous."

Po sighed, "All this waiting around, can't we move her to the temple? Or even to the valley?"

"No, we can't, the temporal gate makes things unstable. Any meddling could cause a rip in time. Fist, she wakes." He sighed, "We don't want a disturbance to the fabric of— already?"

They stood up, Po walked over to the girl waking up. "Now, maybe we can go back to the valley?"

Tigress sighed, "Po, you need to—" She stopped when she noticed the girl's eyes shoot open and she sprung to her feet. What she did next surprised everyone.

Po grabbed her arm before the claws could make it to his face. His eyes were wide and the girl's fist was slowly trembling. She was scowling and hate was burning in her eyes, it made Po uneasy. "Woah, calm down. No one here wants to hurt you,"

She seemed to become outraged by that, but didn't respond peacefully. "You bastard!"

Po was taken aback by this, his grip loosening. "Wha—"

The girl ripped her arm free and reeled it back again, until it was grabbed a second time, this time it was Tigress. "That's enough. Po may be many things, but that is not one of them." Her tone was serious and cold.

The girl's hostile nature instantly dropped, opting for a more surprised look. ". . . Mom? Did it . . . did it work?"

Tigress had backed up a few feet after realising the girl's arm, "What did you just call me?"

The girl straightened herself, "Sorry, that just came out." She turned her head to look at Po, a glare forming over her eyes. "Did you . . . call him Po?"

Po's ears dropped at the uneasy tone in her voice. Shifu cleared his throat, "What is your name?" The girl hesitated. "Lin." Shifu pressed forward, "Lin, you used the Temporal Gate to get here, didn't you?"

Lin blinked, "How did you—"

"We saw the rip in time, that and your previous comment about being related to Master Tigress. Although, all things considered, I'm suprised on how you don't know who Po is. Considering . . . well, never mind,"

Tigress crossed her arms, "Considering what?"

"Nothing, forget it." He turned his attention back to Lin, "I hope you know what you're doing, you can never go back." He paused. "Can I ask you to do something?"

"What is it, Master Shifu?"

Shifu smiled at the mention of his name. At any case, she knew who he was. "Demonstrate your chi."

Lin nodded, "Alright." She extended a paw, concentrating as they glowed a vibrant yellow.

Shifu smiled as she opened her eyes, "So, you were telling the truth. Although, you never fully learned, did you?"

Her ears drooped, "No." She looked off to the side. Tigress narrowed her eyes, there was more to that statement. More to be said.

Shifu nodded, "Well then, why don't you tell us why you came back and maybe why you attacked Po,"

"The future is . . . destroyed. I've never really had the opportunity to meet any of you,"

Shifu and Po made eye contact, confusion running through both of them. Po nodded, "If you've never met any of us then . . . why attack me?"

Lin hesitated, "You . . . reminded me of someone,"

Po opened his mouth to speak, but was quickly hushed by Shifu. Shifu looked to the side and Po followed suit. The two stared off into the distance before it happened; a flash of purple light. The fabric of reality ripped open, leaving a twisting and turning cloud of righteous energy. "The temporal gate?"

Shifu narrowed his eyes, "Someone else is using it?"He noticed the ends were brimming along it's edges. "Someone reopened it!" He turned to Lin, "Are there any masters of chi left in your timeline?"

She shook her head, "No, I'm the last chi user and Kung-Fu master,"

"Wait," Tigress stepped forward, "Every master in China is dead?"

Lin nodded, "They were killed." Her eyes were locked on the portal. "I don't understand."

Fire sprouted from the mouth of the portal, spraying it on the ground and creating a curtain of heat. Grass burned and smoke rose into the sky. The group watched in anticipation as they saw a figure, obscured by flames emerge.

Lin's mouth was agape, "It— it can't be . . ."

Tigress looked over at the young tiger, "Who?"

The flames pulled back, giving way for the warriors to see the new figure. Po's eyes widened and Lin glared. Tigress and Shifu stood, unamused. "So, Po is still alive in the future." Tigress looked over at the young tiger, "Why did you attack him?" She then noticed the fear in Lin's eyes.

Fear quickly turned to surprise, then anger. "Dryn!"

The panda was clad in a dark, silk robe with familiar wrapping around his feet. "Lin." He muttered. He started his approach, completely unaware of the other's presence. "Is this where you've been hiding, Shǎguā."

Po stopped in front of Lin, giving the older Panda pause. He looked back at Lin, shaking his head at the young tiger whom was shaking in rage. "Let's not be hasty there, tiger." Po chuckled a bit, "I'll talk to him."

He walked forward, quickly feeling a sense of uneasiness, as if his instincts were telling him to run or, at least, attack. Something was wrong with this other panda and Po didn't like it. Just why was Lin so angry with him?

Soon the two panda's stood a few feet from one another. Po had a slight glare, not feeling comfortable around this person, not by a longshot. His presence made him shiver and forced his stomach to turn. The other panda had a wide smirk, even showing some teeth. "Dragon Warrior, it's an honor."

"Just who are you?"

The other panda chuckled, "Isn't it obvious?" He placed a hand on his chest and closed his eyes, his smirk staying in tact. "We're one in the same."

Po's eyes widened briefly, "What?"

"It's true!" His eyes shot open, "We are two sides of the same coin, Po Ping!"

"That' not— Lin called you Dryn!"

"Ah, yes, the brat." He looked past Po and narrowed his eyes, his smirk dropping. "I'll deal with her when the time comes." He turned his attention back to Po, "You are far more interesting at the moment."

Po held up his hands, "Woah, woah. Slow down." Po tilted his head in confusion, "Deal with her? What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Dryn's smirk returned, "I'm going to kill her."

Po took a step back, "What?!" He narrowed his eyes, "So, you're the lying type, then. There is no way you're me if you're willing to kill someone."

"Really?" He chuckled, "Tell that to Tai-lung or, even, Kai. And don't lie to me, you felt good when Shen kicked the bucket."

Po growled, "I did not!"

"What, then? Did the fireworks distract you? Or was it simply the tiger? Tigress has always had an . . . effect on us, don't you think?"

Po stayed silent, but glared at Dryn. "You may not kill people, Po. But, you will." He gestured to the sky. "Our every dream was fulfilled. We had everything we wanted. We were the Dragon Warrior, Master of chi. We had a complete family. Full with a wife and child."

"And what happened to turn you into this?"

Dryn looked back at Po, "You know, it's rude to interrupt." He chuckled, "An . . . accident. Let's just say, within the decade, everyone except Monkey was dead."

Po took a sharp intake of air, choking up. "What happened?"

His voice was low and his smirk seemed to stretch as he talked. His eyes held a glint of pride, "I killed them. Every. Last. One."

Po'es eyes widened, "Did you catch up to Monkey?" Po didn't need a verbal answer, as Dryn's face stretched to support his ever growing smirk.

"I— I would never kill—"

"Want to know what I did to Tigress?" Po's eyed widened and his blood ran cold. He found himself taking a step back, his hands quivering.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Dryn glanced past to spot Shifu's face. Yep, he was listing in. Good. "You don't need imagination to piece together what I did. Let's just say that Lin would have been an older child if Tigress survived!"

Po clenched his fist, "You should stop while you're still standing,"

"Oh, but wait, there's more! If you're angry at just that, then maybe I shouldn't tell you what I did to dear old dad," He waited to make sure he had Po's full attention. "You should've seen him. He was heartbroken, shattered. You Know, the one that was still breathing!"

Po's fist slammed into his stomach. He grabbed him by the shoulder and slammed his head into his. Despite the pain, Dryn smirked. Po grabbed him by the neck fur. "You should've stopped while you were ahead,"

"What? Are you going to kill me?" He reached up and grabbed Po's arm, squeezing the Dragon Warrior's wrist. "Please," He kneed him the stomach, making Po gasp for air and release his fur. "I know you too well, you won't kill me, not yet. Despite everything I've said, you lack the stomach to kill me or anyone, for that matter."

Dryn tossed him to the ground, "Do me a favor and call over your girlfriend, she'll be more of a challenge than you could ever be."

A tiny foot slammed into his stomach, launching him backwards. Dryn skitted across the ground and looked forward. "How about me, instead?"

Dryn stood to his full height, taking a deep breath. "I'm not sure you count, Shifu. But, I guess we do have a score to settle,"

Shifu launched forward, striking Dryn's chest. His eyes widened and his smirk widened, "That's the way, Shifu!" Shifu twisted his body, undeterred by Dryn's outburst, and kicked the panda in the neck. Dryn staggered, laughing quietly. Shifu growled and attacked, rapidly hitting him in the chest. Shifu flipped over him and kicked him the back. Dryn flipped around, almost falling backwards. He had a wide, twitching grin and dilated, red eyes.

Shifu's gasped at the sudden change of jade to crimson.

"There is definitely a difference." Dryn stood to his full height. "You are much stronger than the Shifu in my timeline. There must've been a divergence of some calibur." He clenched his fist and pounded his chest. "All the better, fore the flame has yet to dwindle or be reborn."

Shifu's eyes widened, "That can't—" He jumped back and Dryn twisted around as several claws, clad in shadows, latched onto his arms.

"What?!"

"Shifu!" Po ran up to the next Red Panda, "What's happening?"

Shifu watched as more claws latched onto Dryn, "He's getting sucked back in,"

Dryn's smile had all but vanished and he was struggling to fight against the portals minions. "It's— it's trying to fix time? Is it because I reopened Lin's portal?" He yelled out, struggling, "No! I'm not done, here!" He twisted his body to look at Po and Shifu. "A whole new world . . ." He smiled, stretching out the next word, making the others shutter. "Perfect~" He clenched his fist, a blood-like color seeping out of his fist in the form of chi. "Let's see if he learned this . . ." He thrust his arm out, shooting a blinding projectile.

Po and Shifu darted out of the way, Po twisted to watch the projectile head straight for Lin. "No, move!"

Lin was pushed out of the way, by Tigress.

Po watched as she dropped to the ground. "No . . . No! Tigress!" Shifu darted towards the Tiger and Po stood motionless . . . and then the anger came. He twisted his neck, locking his eyes on the smirking Dryn.

"One of many, Dragon Warrior. One of many!" He laughed briefly before the claws jerked him away, pulling him back through the portal. The cloud of raging energy collapsed, blowing a gust of wind, warm wind, at Po. He put up his arms until it resided, before turning to run over to the others.

"Guys, guys!" He stopped short at seeing the cracks leaking red chi on Tigress's body. "A chi attack, ugh!"

Lin's eyes shook and her breathing was unnaturally high, "He knows . . . chi?"

Po punched the ground, "That guy!" Po took a deep breath, "Shifu, please, can you save her?"

Shifu shook his head, "His chi is far more potent than mine, I can't,"

Po narrowed his eyes, "I know what I have to do." He interlocked his hands, "Shifu, if I don't come back, then I'm sorry. I tried." He lifted his pinky, "Lin?"

"What?" She was currently forcing chi out of her palms, trying to push back Dryn's growing infection.

"If Dryn really is me, then I'm sorry." He pushed down his pinky, forcing his body into an explosion of chi.
