Note: Ok, so this is part of my Crash the Swordmaster series. It's sort of like a chronicles to explain different point of views before the whole thing began. I might make more of these depending on the feedback. So, what happens when Zak, the Ninja Bandicoot meets Po, the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five? Well, read to find out. I own nothing, but my OC.

It's a normal night at the Vally of Peace. Everyone is sleeping a peaceful sleep.

Then on top of a hill, lightning strikes the top and a figure is seen with smoke in the air. As the smoke slowly cleared, it's revealed that the figure has two samurai swords on it's back, in a black ninja suit with a red "Z" on the right side of the vest and white eyes with no pupils. The figure stands to reveal it's Zak, the Ninja Bandicoot.

Zak jumps onto a tree and looks inside a window, looking at two adult geese. Then as he was looking at them, he had a flashback.

In the flashback, Zak is seen bowing to a figure.

"Zak. You must kill the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five in order to prove yourself worthy" the figure said.

The figure got out a picture of a goose family and handed it to Zak.

"Kill this family first, but not the kid. He likes one of the Furious Five. He'll want to be with them. So, once he's on his way, follow him. And when you can kill everyone, even the kid if you have to. Good luck" the figure said.

Back in reality, Zak jumped in the window and landed without making a sound. He then quietly approaches the adults. He then got two of his swords out and stabbed them both, making blood splatter on the walls.

Then he heard a voice.

"Mommy? Daddy?" a little child asked.

Zak thought quickly and jumped out the window and jumped onto the roof.

Then the child opened the door and is shocked by the sight he saw. The poor child then screamed in terror at the scarring sight.

The next day, at the Jade Palace, Po and the Furious Five were training while Master Shifu observes. Then Zeng came knocking at the door.

Shifu answered and everyone lined up.

"What is it Zeng?" Shifu asked.

"Well.. you remember Zan, right? The little goose child?" Zeng asked.

"Of course" Shifu asked.

"Well.. his family was killed last night" Zeng said in a sad tone.

Tigress had a shocked look on her face.

"What happened to them?" Shifu asked.

"Nobody really knows. Whoever it was just came, killed them and left" Zeng said.

"Hmm. Where is he now?" Shifu asked.

"He requested to be taken here, because he feels safer with Tigress" Zeng said.

"Hmm. Normally this wouldn't be acceptable, but since he already met Tigress I guess it will be ok" Shifu said.

"Zan's coming here?" Tigress said excited.

Everyone stared at her. Tigress realized everyone was staring and she cleared her throat.

"I mean... I'll take good care of him" Tigress said in a more calming way.

"Very well. He'll be here shortly, but for now, we must continue training" Shifu said.

"Actually that won't be necessary" Zeng said.

"Why not?" Shifu asked.

"Because he's already here" Zeng said as he pointed to the cart that was pulling him.

Zan then got out of the cart.

"Tigress!" Zan shouted.

"Zan!" Tigress shouted back.

They ran towards each other and hugged.

Zak is seen in the shadows watching it all. He felt a little emotion developing from this. He never saw so much care. All he knew was how to be a good fighter and how to honor a worthy opponent. But, even with all of this care, he still knows that they will have to die.

Later on, we see Tigress playing Chinese Checkers with Zan.

"Thanks for letting me stay Tigress" Zan said.

"Of course. You can stay for as long as you like" Tigress said.

"What if I want to stay forever?" Zan asked.

Tigress was shocked by this.

"Um.. I... I don't know about that. We'll have to see, okay?" Tigress asked.

"Ok" Zan said.

Later that night Tigress was getting ready to put Zan to bed.

"Tigress?" Zan asked.

"Yes, Zan?" Tigress asked.

"Can I sleep with you tonight? I'm scared that big bad man might get me" Zan said.

"Don't worry. The big bad man won't get you" Tigress said about to leave.

"Tigress.. please" Zan begged.

Tigress looked at Zan and sighed.

"Ok. Just for tonight" Tigress said.

"Thank you, Tigress" Zan said hugging her.

Tigress smiled a little.

She then got his bed all ready to sleep in. Tigress then tucked Zan in and got in her bed.

"Tigress?" Zan asked.

"Yes?" Tigress asked back.

"Can I call you momma?" Zan asked.

Tigress was a little surprised by this, but she figured that since she is the closest thing he now has for a mother, why not?

"Sure" Tigress said.

"Goodnight.. momma" Zan said as he yawned.

"Goodnight Zan" Tigress said.
