Hey guys! This is my first story, so if it's not that great, then sorry, but it is my first. I will try to post as soon as I can until my story is finished! Enjoy!

Sage's Siege

15 days. That is how long it would take for a hero to fall, the Jade Palace to be destroyed, and the time it would take for the Dragon Warrior to save his friends, his home, and all of China.

Some time ago, the Emperor sought all of China for the best warriors for the positions of his body guards. One such warrior was a wolverine named Sage. He stood out, among all of the other warriors, for he had two times the power, speed, and intelligence than the other guards. He was unbeatable. He was sure that he was going to get the position of General of all of China's warriors. However, the Emperor gave this position to one of his closest friend's sons. Sage was furious. In fact, he was so enraged that he tried to assassinate the Emperor at one of the royal banquets. He failed, but was able to get away. No one has seen or heard Sage ever since, but Sage has sworn vengeance on the Emperor and all of China for stealing what was rightfully his; total control of all of China's army.

Day One

The gong sounded. The Furious Five were immediately outside of their rooms, awaiting Master Shifu.

All, but Po.

"Where's Po?" Crane whispered to Monkey. "I don't know. Probably still sleeping! Wait 'til Shifu gets his hands on him! Ha! It'll be hilarious!" Monkey whispered back. "Quiet you two," Viper quietly said, "Or else Shifu will make us run up and down the palace steps a hundred times!" Tigress smirked. Viper is right, but it would be funny to see Po stumble over his words as he tried to explain to Shifu why he wasn't out yet.

Just then, Master Shifu rounded the corner, and walked down the hallway where his students awaited.

"Good morning Master." They all said in unison.

"Good morning my students," Master Shifu said, "Has anyone seen Po?" He already knew the answer, but still asked anyway.

"Here!" Po shouted as he flung open his door and stumbled into the hallway.

"What is your excuse for today, Panda?" Shifu asked calmly.

"I…slept in?" Po said hesitantly.

"Po, a true warrior must learn discipline and self-control. This includes eating, as well as getting up on time." Shifu explained.

Mantis and Monkey started snickering, and Po's face dropped. They really shouldn't pick on him like that, we're a team now! Viper thought.

Geez guys, cut Po some slack. Sure, he's big and clumsy, but he's also the Dragon Warrior. They should have a little more respect. Crane thought.

Shifu turned to Monkey and Mantis and raised an eyebrow, which immediately silenced them. "Sorry Po." Both Monkey and Mantis said.

Before Po could forgive them, Shifu gave them their training schedule for the day and dismissed them.

*In the Jade Palace courtyard, at the end of the day*

Monkey and Mantis had gone into town for some food, leaving Crane, Po, Tigress, and Viper back at the Jade Palace.

Crane was busy painting, Viper was keeping herself occupied by dancing with her ribbons, and Po was in his usual place, the kitchen.

Tigress was in the palace courtyard ripping apart some wooden croc dummies. She still couldn't get something out of her head.

Po.

Specifically, she thought of when Po had hugged her after she had pulled him out of Gongmen Harbor. Why? She thought. Why did he hug me? I know I hugged him in Gongmen Jail, so maybe he was just returning the favor. Yes, that must be it. We're just friends, nothing more. We will never be anything more than friends.

Tigress was so busy demolishing the wooden soldiers, that she didn't notice the figure perched on top of the Jade Palace, watching her very closely. "So," it said to itself, "You still have your old moves, huh? Well, I guess we'd better get reacquainted then! Heh!"

The figure jumped down into some bushes and emerged, carrying two deadly Di staffs.

They sparked to life, creating a red glow towards the tops of the two staffs.

The Di staffs were stolen hundreds of years ago, but held tremendous power.

Now, they were in the possession of a soldier in all black, slowly walking towards the unsuspecting Tigress.
