The Spirit Realm shook as their war waged. Sparks of golden and green chi erupted, destroying platforms and rock formations. Two warriors, brothers at odds, locking in unjustly combat. Oogway landed swiftly onto a small rock platform. "This again, Kai? Do you never learn?"
Kai shouted and lunged at Oogway. "Your Chi will be mine, Oogway." He harshly landed on the small platform, beginning another skirmish. Kai took his jaded swords and slashed in a downward motion at Oogway. Oogway put up his staff to counter. A wave of Chi erupted from the friction of the two brothers. But both still stood. "Once I return to the mortal coil I will take revenge on that panda for imprisoning me here. His Chi will be mine."
Oogway's eyes flashed gold and he pushed back with mighty force causing Kai to reel back, "That won't happen." He jumped up, spun around, and kicked Kai in the chest flinging him off the small platform. "The Dragon Warrior has beaten you once, he can do it again."
Kai landed on a larger platform that resembled a broken temple entrance. "I won't be defeated twice. Nothing you had taught the panda will save him. Or his friends."
Oogway sighed and rested on his staff, "Don't you see, Kai? Friendship, relationships . . . those are what makes my students strong. You can't rip apart a family without consequences. And you've already done it once."
Kai. "Oh! I'm so afraid!" He laughed. "Let's get this over with, shall we?" He jumped up and threw both of his jaded swords down at Oogway who turned his body to evade them. Oogway glared and jumped up at Kai.
"You can't beat me, Kai. I allowed it to happen last time."
"I know." Kai said.
Oogway turned his head and spotted a few slim daggers coming straight for him. He turned his body towards it and spun his staff round deflecting the daggers into different directions. "It can't be . . ."
"Believe it, Oogway!" Kai said pulling himself towards him. Oogway turned his attention back to Kai. Kai let go of the chain connected to his daggers and punched at Oogway. Oogway grabbed Kai's fist and threw him towards the platform below.
Oogway heard a roar and spun around to see someone he hadn't seen in nearly twenty years. "Tai-lung."
"Master Oogway." Tai-Lung lunged at oogway throwing blow after blow. Oogway skillfully dodged before grabbing his wrist.
"This conflict won't go your way. Give up." Tai-lung only growled in response. Oogway lifted his hand up and pressed two of his claws down, grabbing another dagger. "Your friend?"
"Mutuals." Tai-lung said before kicking Oogway in the stomach forcing him onto another larger platform. Tai-lung landed on the platform a few feet from Oogway. A large thud came from behind Oogway and he turned to see Kai, swinging his blades. "In fact, we're all mutuals."
A soft flap of wings could be hard. "Yes, yes, the panda is what ties us together." With every step this person took a soft metallic clang was present. "He will perish, and so will all the other pandas he now keeps at his side."
Oogway sighed again. "Grudges aren't befitting of warriors."
The peacock chuckled. "I am a warlord."
"Shen, you'll never learn." Oogway lowered into a stance.
Tai-lung growled and charged first. Oogway swung his staff tripping him and jumped up as a few daggers came his way. Shen flew up to meet Oogway and swung his sword. Oogway met it with his staff. The two parried a few times before Oogway slammed his staff into Shen's torso slamming him into the ground. Oogway landed swiftly on the ground, facing Kai. "Well?"
Tai-lung roared and Oogway turned to face him, only to see nothing. Oogway suddenly felt his arms pull in closer to himself and heard Kai laugh. He looked down to see chains around his torso. "You should have never turned you back to me." Kai pulled on Oogway. Oogway flinched as his body started glowing green.
"Very well." Oogway's form distorted before there was a green flash leaving only a pendant.
Kai laughed and picked it up. Tai-lung and Shen walked over.
"You two ready?"
"To kill the panda, yes." Shen chucked darkly.
Kai squeezed on the pendant and there was a bright jade flash.
Kai took a deep breath. They were in the mortal realm again. He looked around, content at the crater they have arrived in. He turned to the other two. "Change of plans. Shen, you said you had an army?"
"Indeed, it's been awhile since I've seen my cannons at work."
Tai-lung shook his head. "Why would we need an army? Or those disgraceful 'cannons'."
Kai glared at him. "Has Oogway taught you nothing? Or is it your pride? Before we kill them, we make them fear. For themselves, their families, their friends. You two will go seek them out. Go, meet me back here."
Tai-lung reluctantly nodded and the two set off.
Kai watched them go and waited till they were out of sight. He looked at the pendant. "Oogway . . . " He tossed the pendant and it formed into a jade Oogway. Bring me the masters you have taught, but avoid your home." The jade warrior set off. Kai laughed. "Let's see what they can do."
