I don't own Kung Fu Panda or any of its characters.
Not many know about the ancient scroll. In his early days, Master Oogway wrote an ultimate technique. In times before unlocking the great prophecy of the Dragon Warrior, young Master Oogway discovered a mystic and dark skill under kung fu. Many evil and good, tried to retrieve it from Oogway's hands. After several, and some deathly efforts, Master Oogway decided to hide such powerful technique. He crafted multiple scrolls, and inside each, he stored one piece of the secret. He placed them all around China in places, no soul would ever retrieve it. Many years later, after his death the scroll continue hidden, and while many spread the rumor, almost everyone saw it as a myth. Until, not long ago a persistent Master found one piece. Now, once again China is under peril…
"So well crafted. Your deception worked for almost one hundred years. Finally, I've found, what everyone believes a legend." Two hands wrapped themselves around a purple and green scroll. "How, did you managed it, Oogway? To keep such secret, and power away from use, must have drove you crazy… Like it does to me."
One hand unscrew one lid until it opened. Its content slid from inside to a second hand. "There will be no technique, power or energy capable of stopping me. I shall be far stronger than Shen's deadly weapon and far more powerful than the Dragon Warrior." Both hands stretched the parchment. "No… it can't be…"
A piece of parchment showed broken and uneven each of its four corners. It was part of a puzzle, one meant to never be decipher. The long silhouette threw the scroll with great force down below a mountain. He kept the small piece of paper smashed with one hand. "You filthy turtle." He looked at the hand with the piece. "I won't surrender. Not when I've come so far. This is only a small obstacle. Who said success was a straight line?"
Strong winds from north blew around him, and almost knocked away the piece of paper from his hands. "From what I can guess… I'm missing four other pieces, one for each corner. I'll find the rest." He folded the paper and took it inside one of his pockets. "Since I found this one, the rest should be easy to track. Right, my students?"
Two blue eyes appeared inside shadows. "Yes, Master. We think to have an idea where the second piece might be."
"That's correct, sir." A third voice came from deep inside the blackness from the mountain. "A second and third… piece. It should leave us with two remaining."
"I'm heading towards the south of China, you two keep tracking the fourth piece and I'll look for the fifth one through my journey. I have a hint where it might be. Oogway's last place of residence." The long silhouette turned towards the sunset. "The Valley of Peace…"
"If we don't find the fourth one. What should we do, Master?" said the voice of blue eyes.
"Master Oogway hid the pieces far from each other, currently we sit at the center of China. The rest of the pieces should be at north, west, east and south. If there sits an academy or palace of kung fu, one of the pieces will be there. You will find it."
"We won't disappoint you, sir." The figureless voice talked again, before both students disappeared with the wind.
"I better head back, before someone notices my absence." He traced his steps back to the kung fu academy, where other Masters slept unaware. After Master Weasel, long old friend of Master Oogway, died a previous night by unknown reasons. The long silhouette took the opportunity to steal the scroll. "I love it when the universe works on my favor, wouldn't you agree, Oogway? I hope you left a strong warrior to protect the piece on the Jade Palace. You know how determine I can be when reaching my… goals."
