chapter one:
Thrown out back, Hidden Emotions
One day Temutai and his new friend who happens to be Po decide to have a sparring match well when Po was about to do a move he thought was cool, Temutai also about to do a cool move threw out his back and although Po didn't cause it as he usually would he felt bad that his new friend the warrior king of the Qidan was hurt and in pain.

Temutai:(sighs) ok i'll tell you why i am so angry at times.
Bessy: we're ready.
Temutai: ok well it all started from when i was just a little calf and my parents were very happy until-
(2-D flashback of Temutai's childhood)
Temutai: one day a wild boar named Zao came along and he was a nasty wild boar who just started stealing people's things you know just plain thievary and my dad was angered by this and said...
in 2-D flashback
Temutai's dad: stay here Temutai i'll handle this!
Temutai: and he tried to fight off that nasty wild boar but he was too quick for my dad and then after he knocked my dad down my dad figured he was done for until i leaped in and said-
In 2-D flashback
Temutai (at 16): don't worry dad i'll take care of him!
He leaps into action in 2-D flashback
Temutai:(voicing over) and after i said that i fought that nasty boar because he attacked and hurt my father but i didn't know kung fu at the time and the boar could easily defeat me and of course my dad who had no confidence in me was embarrassed by that but i still tried until i actually defeated Zao and-
Po: and your dad was so proud of you because you defeated Zao i mean-
Temutai: you're not LISTENING my dad was not proud of me no he resented me ok no confidence no being proud how can you not UNDERSTAND THAT?!
Po: sorry.
Temutai:(sighs and starts getting depressed) anyways my dad was angry with me so angry he beat me!
Whip cracks
Temutai: and after he whipped me once he continued whipping me and told me what i didn't want to ever hear-
In 2-D flashback
Temutai's dad: i hate you Temutai you took out Zao and i didn't i hate you so much i sometimes wish you and your dead brother traded spots!
Door Slams
Temutai:(voicing over; getting more depressed) he said that he loved my brother more than me and he considered me not a child of his i mean he was angry because i took out Zao and he didn't and after he said that he locked me in my room until one day he took me out into the fresh air and told me he'd be back and he never came back for me and my mom was so depressed that my dad would do those things to me and my other brother Lao was already into a life of crime and he was always favored by my dad and my mom and one night he came into the house and i was so angry with him that we fought i mean i was already angry because my father abandoned me but even more angry that my brother couldn't stop his life of crime so i told him to quit his life of crime and he took a punch at me and already i had been secretly training in kung fu that i easily overpowered him in a fight but it broke my mother's heart and she died from a broken heart and then as i sat at her grave site i promised her i wouldn't disappoint her and my dad showed up and blamed me for it and i have continued to blame myself for it. My dad then told me i was the biggest mistake ever to be born and he wished that i had died and(starts crying) and (snif) i became so angry that i decided to become Warrior King of the Qidan(grabs his orange and green tropical decorated crown and puts it on) and ever since then i lost my respect for him and my brother and i had to take care of the one faithful sibling and that was my younger sister Jia and that's that.
End of 2-D flashback
Temutai:(crying) that's so painful to talk about!
Po: Temutai(puts hand on his shoulder) i'm so sorry!
Temutai:(crying) now do you see why i get so angry!
Bessy: yes because all you wanted was to please your family and you couldn't but look Temutai he ain't botherin you no more and your brother ain't around you no more and you and i have very beautiful children and you hold a high position and you know kung fu.
Temutai:(crying) i know but what i also know too is i caused my mom to die and dad to get mean to me and my sister Jia probably hates me too!
Bessy: no you didn't Temutai!
Temutai:(crying).
Po: Temutai i'm sorry.
Temutai:(crying) why you didn't cause it?
Po: no i'm sorry that happened to you.
Temutai:(crying) it's ok it's not your fault.
Po: also why would your sister hate you?
Temutai:(crying) who knows?
From outside the room
Qidan Warrior #1: wow poor king Temutai!
Qidan Warrior #2: i know i guess his dad was very mean to him!
Qidan Warrior #1: i guess he has a good side but tends to show his bad side.
Qidan Warrior #3: don't tell him that i just got word that his dad is in down!
Qidan Warrior #4: oh no don't tell him that!
Qidan Warrior #2: or that his brother is in town!
Qidan Warrior #5: and his sister Jia!
Qidan Warrior #1: well he has to face his past once more again!
Qidan Warrior #4: and his sister too!
The others gasp
From the other side
Bataar: wow poor dad!
Kona: he didn't deserve that!
Chulun: yeah no wonder he is so strict on us and gets angry!
Back to Temutai's room
Temutai continues to cry and blather uncontrollably
Bessy: so Temutai in the mean time who took you in and how did you develop your strength?
Temutai:(crying) i trained in Kung Fu and Master Oogway was so nice to take me in.
Back in 2-D flashback to where Oogway takes Temutai in
Master Oogway:(in flashback) come now you'll get cold out here.
Temutai: he was the most closest thing i had as a dad and that's where i met Shifu who is the closest thing i had as a brother. When i was weak my dad came to torment me more and by then i was getting close to being Warrior King of the Qidan and after i argued with him i left with such rage in me and that's when both my dad and my brother both attacked me along with Zao getting his revenge, an iguana named Jong, and a monkey named Lu-Kong. They beat me up and then i was so injured and depressed that, that's when Oogway saw me and took me in. Like i said i loved Oogway as a father and when Oogway died i became depressed and angry with myself that i abandoned both the Jade Palace and Oogway's quarters as i thought it was my fault.
Out of Flashback
Temutai cries more uncontrollably and louder
Po and Bessy walk out to let him have a moment to himself
Outside Temutai's room
Po: wow i never saw Temutai sad or show any other emotion.
Bessy: neither did i and you know what i think all of that anger was covering up sadness.
Po: why do you say that?
Bessy: because Temutai never ever showed any other emotion except pride and anger that's it.
Po: yeah and i think he just bottled up his feelings and decided to both hide them with anger and wait for the right time to let them escape.
Bessy: and tell his story.
Po: true.
Qidan Warrior #3: uh is it alright to go and see king Temutai?
Bessy: not now he is crying uncontrollably!
Qidan Warrior #3: no it is urgent i got to tell him right away!
Po: what?
Qidan Warrior #3: his father is in town!
Qidan Warrior #4: his brother too!
Qidan Warrior #5: and his sister!
Po: oh no how will he handle it?
Qidan Warrior #3: that's what i'm afraid of!
Bessy: well you can go in there now because he is kinda calm.
Qidan Warriors 3 and 4 go in
Inside Temutai's room
Qidan Warrior #3: uh Temutai..
Temutai:(quietly sobbing; realizes two of his loyal servants are there; clears his throat; brushes a tear away; turns around) yes?
Qidan Warrior #3: we're sorry but-
Temutai gets a puzzled look on his face
Qidan Warriors 3 and 4 stand and don't say anything
Temutai's facial expression goes from puzzled to almost agitated
Qidan Warrior #4:(slaps #3 forward to tell Temutai the news).
Qidan Warrior #3: uh your dad is in town and your brother Lao and sister Jia.
Temutai: are you sure? i mean it could have been a mistake you know how sometimes we sorta mistake others to be relatives maybe that's what happened.
Qidan Warriors 3 and 4 play rock paper scissors and 4 loses
Qidan Warrior #4: it is no mistake Temutai the ones responsible for turning you into you are here and your sister is too.
Temutai:(seemingly angered) WHAT?! NO ONE DISRESPECTS THE WARRIOR KING OF THE QIDAN IN THAT MANNER!
Warriors 3 and 4 duck
Bones crunch
Temutai:(blathers in pain).
Warriors 3 and 4 don't move
Temutai: I...I...I...I don't have the energy to be mad because under ordinary circumstances i would be on a rampage but(sighs; gets depressed).
Qidan Warrior #4: uh king Temutai i-
Temutai: just go now!
They leave and shut the door
They then put their ears on the door to listen
Temutai then cries uncontrollably
Qidan Warrior #3: i think he is only depressed because his back is hurt!
Bessy: well how did he take it?
Qidan Warrior #4: first anger now depression.
Bessy: wow!
Outside of the Qidan Palace
Temutai's dad Tsai is in town along with Lao
Temutai's sister Jia is not associating with them
Tsai: Qidan Palace state your name to enter.
Qidan Warrior #7: state your name!
Tsai: my name is Tsai and i wanna know who the warrior king is!
Qidan Warrior #8: ooh that's easy he is Temutai!
Tsai:(realizes it is his son) Temutai!
Qidan Warrior #7: who should i say is calling?
Tsai: tell him it is his father and to please come out.
Qidan Warrior #7: well he can't he is crippled so his room is the one in the way back.
Tsai: thank you.
He goes in but is blocked by Chulun,Kona, and Bataar
Tsai: and who are you three!
Chulun: Chulun!
Kona: Kona!
Bataar: Bataar!
Tsai: where's Temutai?

Kona slaps him on the head
Chulun: you dumb fuck!
Bataar: what?!
Kona: you don't just tell anyone where dad is duh!
Bataar: duh to both of you!
Kona: ok you know what!
They begin arguing
Tsai ignores them and knocks on the door
Bessy:(opens the door) yes?
Tsai: hi i'm Tsai i am looking for Temutai!
Bessy: who is calling?
Tsai: it's private!
Bessy: Tsai how are you related to Temutai?
Tsai: i am his father!
Bessy:(gets bug eyed).
Temutai:(reluctantly) let him in!
Bessy does so
The short mid aged male cow stands before his water buffalo son
Tsai: hello Temutai!
Temutai scowls at him
Tsai: uh aren't you supposed to say hi back?!
Temutai: why ARE YOU HERE?!
Tsai: because i just wanted to uh can you tell that girl over there we need privacy?
Temutai:(angrily groans) Bessy could you leave and shut the door.
Bessy does so
Temutai: well tell me what you need to say!
Tsai: son i just wanted to tell you that i am proud of you becoming warrior king of the Qidan and i-
Temutai: stop trying to act like you are!
Tsai: look i am please know that i am!
Temutai: no you're NOT!
Tsai: also i want to make peace with my eldest son.
Temutai: how by beating me up?!
Tsai:(slaps him across the face leaving a red mark).
Temutai rubs his face
Temutai:(growls).
Tsai: look Temutai do you want me to make peace or not?
Temutai: i did when i was 18 now i don't care!
Tsai: look Temutai what is it that you want from me?
Temutai: i want you to apologize for all the rotten things you did to me!
Tsai stares at him
Temutai:(about to cry) do it or i'll (snif) i'll (snif) i'll(snif) do it or i'll CRY(starts crying).
Tsai looks at him for a while but soon starts to feel sad and bad for him that he goes over and rubs Temutai's back in comfort
Temutai:(crying uncontrollably).
Tsai: son i am so sorry for all the rotten things i did to you i trully am this time.
Temutai:(crying harder).
Tsai: it's ok Temutai it's ok daddy's here daddy's got you.

Temutai: i wish i could but my back is hurting.
Tsai: just give it a try.
Tsai stands up
Tsai: see i stood up now you do it.
Temutai struggles to stand up but soon enough he stands up and towers over his father
Tsai:(wide eyed) oh wow you've gotten taller and bigger and more buff over the years.
Temutai: it's called working out.
Tsai: i know.
Bones crunch
Temutai: YOOOOOOOWWWWWW(blathers).
He falls back onto his bed

Tsai: you ok Temutai?
Temutai: hold on let me catch my breathe.
He clears his throat
Temutai: well i stood up.
Tsai: on an injured back.

Tsai: Temutai you need to rest your back ok because you are injured.
Temutai: i think i know that.
