Chapter 01 How it all started
Quanktumspirit: "This is my second Kung Fu Panda story, mainly around Po, Tigress and Tai Lung this time. A danger comes to the city. All of the Furious 6 have tried to stop there horrible counterparts who are destroying the town. Only the person who has mastered the 100 scrolls is wise enough and skilled enough to defeat it… but there was only one student… who is living far away from them, can he help his family?"
One day in the Valley of Peace it was a beautiful sunny blue sky. The valley was reflecting of its name as there was no crime or any problems at the moment.
At the Training academy Master Shifu was having a calming meditation hour to himself, he was thinking about a lot lately, mainly Tai Lung and Tigress relationship.
It was very weird to him, how out of a brother and sister relationship the two have become lovers, sadly Tai Lung has left the city a few months ago, saying that he wanted to rehabilitate completely and become the same loving child he once was. Tai Lung left the town and headed for an abandoned old goat house in the far east of the land. Just about in line with the height of the Accademy. There he stayed and used meditation, swimming classes and other things to feel love flow threw his powerful and strong body.
Whiles Master Shifu was meditating suddenly he felt as if somebody has just punched into his stomach. Master Shifus eyes shot open, he knew exactly what caused his fear program to be activated. Nothing much in the world would hold such a heigh fear as this one action alone.
"Ouch… what the-? Oh no, please tell me I won't have to ask him for help," Shifu suddenly said worried.
This feelings only ever came when something very, very bad would come towards his home town. Quickly he called the Furious 6 back together, he ran out of his meditation room and of to the big room in the center of the home. He has to explain to the others what just happened and how their lives were about to be changed, forever.
Po was just cooking another one of his master dishes using his new found cooking and chopping skills, he was loving the time he was living with the Furiouse 5. They all were great friends towards him.
Before they noticed Master Shifu calling them they were sitting in the dinning room eating some self made rice with chicken or vegetables. Overall an enjoyable meal. The only one who wasn't enjoying it as much was Tigress, who was still self centred to work towards being the 'almost chosen Dragon warrior'. But she couldn't deny that Po was an excellent cook.
Just as she was about to drink a bit of water they heard Master Shifus 'Shadow call'. Po was the only one who didn't know this call yet.
Tigress quickly got up and looked towards her friends, "Po, Mantis, Viper, Monkey, Crane stop eating, we have to get to the meeting room now. Master Shifu is in distress."
The other Furious 5 looked at each other and quickly placed the bowls down and left towards the meeting room as quick as they could.
As the 6 came to the room they instantly bowed down to their master. Master Shifu was pacing up and down the training room with a lot of worry, he has cleaned himself the entire Dojo he was so put out by the discovery. The 6 looked at him confused, Master Shifu walked up to a long table at one end of the room and wrote something on a piece of bamboo scroll. Before facing the students.
"Furious 6… I'm afraid I have some bad news… the town in the south has just been attacked by the… the terrible 8." Master Shifu said.
"Who?" Everybody asked confused.
Master Shifu quickly walked up to the fire place and started a roaring fire inside it, then he threw inside some yellow dust and then he controlled the flames to represent the Terrible 8. The red flames showed: A gray snake wearing a blood red top, a black and white big pander, a white leopard, an orange tiger, a white and black crane, a green grasshopper, an orange pander and a brown monkey. They all had red cloaks on and were so dark looking, as if all their emotions have just been sucked out of their bodies and left them in a bitter and scared state.
"These are the Terrible 8, the orange pander there is their leader, his name is Master Hems, the green grasshopper's name is Grap he is a master at prestige fighting, the white and black bird is Flint: his strength is the battle of flight, the brown monkey is Orfanos his strength lies with construction of deadly weapons, the gray snake is Simanta and her strength is poison, that black Pander is Mo and his talent lies with crushing, the orange tiger is Pantora, her power is the speed and strike and the last one the white leopard is Karol Punch his power lies with strength, he is second in command. They all have been known as mass murders threw out the world and have so far never shown any mercy. They fight so much that it was never peace, wherever these 8 would show up the towns and cities were destroyed and people were mercilessly killed," Master Shifu replied.
Everybody looked at him freaked out, suddenly Po noticed something was missing. Something didn't fit right with the Terrible 8. Carefully he walked round and pictured everybody opposites of the fire images, there was Master Hems as Master Shifu, Grap as Mantis, Flint as Crane, Orfanos as Monkey, Simantha as Viper, Mo as himself, Pantora as Tigress, but who was Karol Punch supposed to be the opposite of?
"Wait, Master Shifu, if it is 8… then there is one missing of our group of 7," Po pointed out.
"Correct Po… Tai Lung has to return and help us defeat them, otherwise we don't stand a chance," Master Shifu said.
"Have you spoken to him already?" Viper asked.
Master Shifu shook his head, "No, I want all of you to come with me and pick him up from his piece place where he hid himself away."
"But he has to heal from his last battle a few months back," Tigress warned.
"Hu heal? Who did he fight this time?" Po asked confused.
Tigress decided to explain herself, "Well Po, many Kung Fu fighters know this, that the strongest and most dangerous weapon of all is your own body and like any good weapon it can get damaged from time to time. But it can heal, sadly it leaves scars behind to remind one of that event, they can easy open and get worse at any given time. For example with Tai Lung his first injury he got at her was 15 years old and was supposed to be given the dragon scroll, but as Master Oogway turned him down it hurt Tai Lung terribly, that's why he returned and decided to get the scroll by force, but as he saw you had it, a beginner fat Pander over somebody who has mastered everything that comes in his way it cut the wound deeper, but he decided to ignore that pain, have you killed and then take the scroll by force, which didn't work in the first place, later one as he had the scroll and looked at it he was devastated to see only himself, nothing more. And that annoyed him the last time. So thinking if he killed you he would be given your power, but instead of him getting smarter and being given the power you were given it and used it full out on him, as he was defeated it was the last straw for him and he has to re-find himself before he tries to murder you in a different way just to get the scroll."
"Ow… sorry that I hurt him so badly," Po said feeling very ashamed.
"So come, let's get that cat out of his hibernation," Tigress instructed.
The others nodded, packed a few things before telling Master Shifu their plan. He agreed, but thought of it wiser just to stay at home. In case if Tai Lung sees him that he will decide not to help. So the Furious 6 packed up, left the city towards the north and road their way up to Tai Lungs resting point.
During the trip the clouds started to form and it began to rain heavily, luckily their coach had a cover over it. As they continued for hours on end the storm just grew worse and worse, the entire cobbled road shook the coach up and down as they headed on their journey. The bridge that they have cut in the first movie has been rebuilt and represented the new home of Tai Lung, he has built a small house on the other side of it and Tai Lung even managed to build a farm there to feed himself. As they saw it the Furious 6 grew a bit worried, what if he was watching them and planned an attack out to get his revenge? Tigress grabbed a rock, hurled it across the bridge seeing as there was no doorbell to ring, it slammed lightly against Tai Lungs door. And then they waited for him to come out.
Inside the self build home Tai Lung was quietly meditating. Having found his inner piece he just wanted his quiet now. This was the only place in the Valley he could claim as his rightful own. He loves it that nobody dares to go near him, and that this was truly a place to call home. As he heard a rock being thrown against his door he opened his eyes again, growling quietly.
"If it is another post bird for a message for me I will stuff his beak. Hello?" Tai Lung called out.
As he stepped out of his house he saw the Furious 6 on the other side, the white leopard raised surprised his eye brow as Tai Lung saw them on the other end of the bridge. He got some huge white flags out and waved them above his head. With that he was showing them he was permitting them into his home.
"We are allowed to enter his home, carefully one by one, Crane you carry Viper and Mantis across, me, Monkey and Po will walk," Tigress instructed.
The others nodded and got to the other side. Po was feeling even more uncomfortable being now closer in Tai Lungs present, knowing that he could have his head chopped off by the blink of an eye. That way Tai Lung would have his revenge against the Panda completed. As they carefully got there, with Po making a complete fool of himself and falling off at the last hurdle where Tai Lung had to catch him and bring him safely back, Tai Lung allowed everybody to enter his home. It was quite crowded, but it sure was sweet.
Tai Lung sat on a big chair, Mantis, Tigress, Po, Viper and Monkey sat together cramped on his couch as Crane sat on a branch at the top of the cave.
"Welcome Furious 6 to my home, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" Tai Lung asked breaking the silence.
He looked even stronger then the last time they saw him, he had on a gray tunic with the Furious 6 and Master Shifu stitched on, each represented with a flower and one with a tree.
Po was with a stinging nettle, Mantis was with a piece of grass, Crane had a dandelion in its last stages with him, Monkey was surrounded by vines, Viper was with a fly trap, Master Shifu was next to a tree and Tigress stood next to a red rose.
"Well, Master Shifu needs your help Tai Lung," Viper said.
"Ok, what is out there that you 6 can't defeat?" Tai Lung asked.
"That is the problem, we don't know, all we know is that it is so strong that it will beat all of us before we even can think, and there are apparently 8 of them," Monkey said.
"Ok. Anything else?" Tai Lung asked knowing there must be at least one question on their minds.
"Why are we represented on your tunic with flowers?" Po asked confused.
"Well Po, you are a stinging nettle because of the fight we had a while back where you defeated me, that is a stinging/painful memory to me. Mantis is a grass because even for such a small size he is he is still very important in your team, like grass is important to keep the circle of life feed. Crane is a dandelion, even if it is a weed, but mainly because in the final stages of the dandelions progress it spreads its seeds out and flies of to new places, like how Crane can fly very delicately. Monkey has the vines because he can change directions and prestige very fast, also with his tail if used correctly he could strangle his opponents and climb quite heigh into the trees and other objects. Viper is the fly trap because even if she hasn't got any teeth she still can serve a deadly beat. Master Shifu is the tree because he stood strong by my side as he trained me and didn't let no be an answer, and Tigress that is a private thing," Tai Lung said chuckling thanking inside his head that Po asked the right question.
"What do you mean?" Everybody asked confused.
Tigress blushed as she thought: 'Maybe… he loves me to. After all the red rose is a symbol of love.'
As Tigress thought this Tai Lung chuckled as everybody saw her face growing red with embarrassment. This made all her blush disappear.
"Come, we'd better get back to Master Shifu and face this opponent, can you please wait outside whiles I pack up?" Tai Lung asked getting everybody of Tigress back and giving her time to breath.
The others nodded and stepped outside, once outside their chuckling continued. Monkey was rolling around on the floor, Mantis was chirping like crazy, Po was not understanding anything, Crane was hiding his beak with laughter and Viper was hissing it was so funny.
Tigress face continued to heat up she was so ashamed of being represented with a symbol of love by one of her 'enemies'.
"Guy's stop laughing, the attack is not funny," Tigress growled back. Even though she knew it was a lost cause.
"No… hihihi… no that is not the reason we are laughing Tigress… you are represented as a rose… hahaha… that is so sweet…" Crane said as he was flying around the place laughing and laughing.
Tigress glared at them,"And why is it sweet?"
"Oh please Tigress, any girl with a 6th sense can tell if a man is in love with one, and Tai Lung seems to take a liking for you," Viper said smirking.
The others grinned as they saw Tai Lung coming out of the house, he stood as quiet as a mouse behind Tigress and was stroking over her tail repeatedly, not making a sound.
"And you for him, you like him a lot Tigress," Mantis said.
Tigress glared even madder, "That is not true."
"Oh yeah, and why are you allowing him to get so close to you and even stroking your tail?" Po asked.
Tigress jumped out of her skin, quickly she turned round and saw Tai Lung was just a breath stroke away from her, truth to the others word Tai Lung was behind her chuckling with a little bit of orange fur on his hand. Tigress hissed at him and then took a lantern out. Hopping she wasn't blushing or anything.
"Come, we'd better get back. Po you at the front, Mantis right, Crane fly out ahead and light the way, me behind him, Viper left and Tai Lung in the middle, with this format Tai Lung won't escape our grasps again whiles we get him back to the campus," Tigress ordered.
She mainly set them up like that she she doesn't have to look at Tai Lung any longer or have him make any other weird seductive moves on her.
"Why should they do as you say?" Tai Lung asked giving her a glare.
"Because I am the oldest," Tigress explained.
"Minus Tai Lung, he is older then you," Po pointed out.
The others quickly got into position and walked all the way back to Master Shifu. During the walk Tigress constantly felt her cheek to see if her blush has vanished, nop it just got worse, her howl body felt like fire having Tai Lung so close. He seemed to be amusing himself seeing Tigress still blush at his presents.
"You know Tigress the only way to get rid of the blush is not to think about the thing that is making you blush," Tai Lung said I a seductive voice grinning even more.
"How am I supposed to do that Tai, you are barely far away to be ignored," Tigress growled lowly.
Tai Lung laughs again, this was definitely getting sweet. And he made his own plan, that before he is being exiled again he will have Tigress be with him. She was showing all the right signs, if Tai Lung can play his cards right, she will be putty in his hands by next week.
Quanktumspirit: "I was quiet amused as I finished this chapter. Will the Furious 8 managed to defeat the Terrible 8? Please review, I only own the Terrible 8."
