I do not own any of the Kung Fu Panda franchise only the characters and plot.

Sometimes a problem is not as simple as good or evil, right or wrong merely two sides of the same coin. In the depths of Chor Gom prison, beneath the pillar of stone Tai Lung once occupied, six prisoners were kept in near darkness. While it's true that the prison fell in long ago the lower reaches were being kept up by a select few unknown to most they were considered the greatest threat to china and most of Asia.

A Tiger in royal armor walks in to the concealed entrance near the base of the mountain. Flanked by four rhinos he walked to the last cell searching the darkness with is slate eyes. Two red orbs greeted him as they rose from chest high to nearly a foot and half over his own as they approached.

"May I help you your highness." The shape purred at him.

"Hmmm I believe not I'm going to be taking my fathers place and thought it good to know those he has imprisoned."

Teeth flashed from the darkness. "Is that so?" A gust of wind swept through the prison and bars changed as darkness took the room. Yells filled the remains of the prison before the lights rekindled. A rhino ran up to each cell. "I can't see any of them sir their gone."

"Impossible, the keys to the cells are right here." Pulling them from his belt.

A grey and black from sprang from the shadows past the last cell striking him in the face knocking him out. A moment later four more thuds came from the surrounding hall way. A snow leopard wearing a cloth mask unlocked each cell and walked out where the three joined two similar leopards. The huge grey tiger squinted as he stepped out into the sun followed by a spider monkey and sun bear.

Looking down to the first leopard the tiger picked her up in hug lifting her off the ground.

"It's about time Su what took you so long."

Giving him a playful look. "Its not like the keys were in my hand you know you big fur ball."

Laughing he set her down and looked back to the pair behind him.

"Sai Shi I need for you to go and make sure no others are approaching and get a bearing on the surrounding area. Ya Ya I need you to try and slip into town and get us something to wear till we can get to where we hid our stash."

The spider monkey nodded before she ran up the side of the mountain while the sun bear turned and started making her way to the village. Su made a signal and the other two snow leopards followed. Looking back up at the dark tiger pulling her mask down off her face.

"So what now Gore Shi?"

"First I plan on retrieving our stuff then I'm going to go and see if our employer is still interested in hiring us."

Letting out a quiet giggle she commentented, "Always have to keep working don't we."

"That's how those of our profession are. Though from what I know of this job I may need the help of you three."

She gave him a look of surprise just a s Sai Landed on his shoulders her tail wrapping around his arm for balance. "There's a river to our south east that would take us right to the bamboo jungle where we hid our things." Good then we'll head out as soon as the others return.

In the town below the three of them walked by several stalls in the market before turning down a side street and walking down the back allies of the store. Slipping into each they took what they wanted without being noticed. It wasn't long until they were back and handing out clothes to those fresh from prison. Su smiled at Gore. "Well we have another job to do keep in touch, OK?" Then kissed him on the cheek before running off hiding her blush behind her mask as she pulled it back into place.

Gore stood there staring at her form as they left before turning and leading the remaining pair to the river below.
