Chapter 1: A Lost Memory
The rain drops gently fell from the sky onto the streets of the Valley of Peace. Everything was quiet in the valley as it had been for months. No robberies, fights, or attacks of any kind had been reported. Occasionally, a skirmish or two might occur every once in a while, but for the most part everything was quiet in the village since the great, noble Dragon Warrior had been banished from the palace a few months back. It seemed as though any villain only stole, or committed a crime just so they could battle the legendary master of Kung Fu himself! But now that there was no Dragon Warrior, no one wanted to cause any trouble.
Po looked out upon the grey skies from the window of Mr. Pings noodle shop. He had spent many hours contemplating his life and the mistake that had cost him banishment from the palace. He thought back to that same night that caused his banishment only months ago...
6 months ago...
It was just another typical day in the Jade Palace. Po and Tigress were sparring and Crane, Monkey, and Viper were doing agility training.
"Wow Po, you're really getting good at this!" Tigress pointed out.
"Thanks!" Said Po, "You're not too bad either!"
"Hey Po?" Said Tigress,
"What?"
"After practice can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure thing Ti! I- I mean T- Tigress!" Po exclaimed as he let the name slip from his tongue. "Wha- Whats it about?" He was praying that Tigress wouldn't kill him for calling him Ti, but she didn't even seem to notice.
"You'll just have to find out I guess." Tigress said as she flashed him a playful grin. "Now come on, we've got work to do"
Just then the doors of the palace flew open and there stood a Snow Leopard, with raging yellow eyes.
Tai Lung! They exclaimed.
"Haha, not even close! I am much more powerful then that stupid, disgrace of a leopard! I have come for the Jade Blossom Stone!"
"Jade Blossom Stone? Haha! Look pal, but whatever that is, it isn't here! I've never even heard of it." Po replied with a smirk on his face.
"Well obviously Shifu doesn't tell you everything then!" The mysterious leopard said as he walked over to an old painting of a rose petal and punched a hole straight through the center of it, causing a somewhat large opening to appear. He then pulled out an ancient wooden box from the opening in the painting and pulled out a turquoise stone about the size of his palm, and casually started to walk away towards the giant hole he had blasted into the side of the palace when Po said,
"OK, pal, stealing from the palace is very frowned upon so I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson! Furious five, let's go!" He shouted as he ran toward the leopard. The leopard took out an obsidian blade and charged at the panda as well. Po got off the first blow and hit the leopard right in the side of the head but the leopard shrugged off the pain and struck back with his free hand, hitting Po in the face as well. Now all of the furious five were battling the Leopard at once, but he somehow managed to fight them all off. He was winning the battle and soon all of the furious five would be defeated by him.
The last thing Po remembered before the blackout was seeing Tigress running at the enemy and then rushing at the Snow Leopard himself. The leopard then dropped a square object that started to emit smoke. Po ran into the blinding haze and saw the leopard's fist come out of the smoke and hit him in the temple. Lights out. When he woke, there was chaos all around him.
"Tigress! Tigress wake up!" Viper screamed.
"Oh, god. What have you done Po!" Crane cried.
Po looked over and saw a huge gash in the side of Tigress's torso. There was a lot of blood and she looked to be unconscious.
"Wha- What happened?" Po said in a groggy voice.
"You killed tigress!" Monkey said. "You killed her!"
"No. NO. I couldn't have. I- I-" Po started to say but he looked down and noticed something resting in his lap. It was the obsidian blade that the leopard had used to fight them, and HE was holding it.
The rest was kind of fuzzy in his mind. Shifu came in, and said some harsh words to him, and then told him to pack up his things and leave the Jade Palace for attempting murder on a member of the Furious Five. Before he left however, he heard that Tigress had woken up and was being treated in the medical wing of the palace. Po rushed into her treatment room and said,
"Tigress! TIGRESS! I'm so sorry it wasn't me that used that sword. I was framed! It was that leopard and his-"
"Po, Po, I know it wasn't you. I know." Tigress said in a shaky, yet clam voice. "Po. Po, I lo-" She was about to say something but passed out again, leaving Po to be forcefully escorted from the Jade Palace screaming, "Let me go it wasn't me. I WAS FRAMED!"
