Prologue: Wandering Darkness

Inside the bamboo forest outside of the Valley of Peace, a lone snow leopard is pulling a cart with many vases and pots for him to sell. He hums a mellow melody as he continues to walk along the dirt road. Unknowingly, a shadow slowly creeps toward the snow leopard.

The snow leopard heard something strange as he called out into the forest, "Hello? Is someone there?"

But there was no one in sight. The snow leopard shrugged as he continued on. The shadow keeps following him, waiting for the right moment to strike. An hour later, the snow leopard becomes tired as he sits on a rock to take a break. He wipes off the sweat developing on his head. The shadow creeps closer and closer towards him.

"Hey! I know someone's there! Show yourself!" The snow leopard called out. The only response was wind breezing in the forest.

The snow leopard keeps his guard up for any bandits who are about to mug him. But the shadow wasn't a bandit. He creeps towards the snow leopard, thinking it was the right time to strike.

The snow leopard sees something darting around the bamboos. "What is that?" The snow leopard thought as the figure darts toward him.

He does a battle stance, ready to fight what was there. Suddenly, there was silence. Nothing was darting around the forest. The snow leopard makes a confused look, thinking that his imagination is getting the better of him. He descends from the rock as he was about to check if his merchandise were intact.

When his back was turned, a figure towers over him. The snow leopard turns around as the figure attacks him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

{In Gongmen City}

Master Ox and Master Croc are sparring outside of the rebuilt Tower of Sacred Flames. It's been a year after Shen was defeated by the Dragon Warrior and all the wounds of Gongmen have been healed. Right now, Master Croc swings his sword at Master Ox who blocked it his two axes. The powerful ox headbutts Master Croc as he falls down on his back. He was about to get up when Master Ox took his sword, plants a hoof on the croc's belly, and points his sword at him.

"You have to make sure you don't get swept off your feet easily, my friend." Master Ox told him.

"I know that." Master Croc said as the ox helped him up.

Master Ox nd Master Croc gazes at the hammer of their late Master Thundering Rhino. The crater where it was placed was replaced with a slab of concrete, making it look like monument. Master Ox sighed, missing his master.

"If only we weren't weak, we would've saved him." Master Croc broke the silence.

"Yes. But we can't dwell in the past. Nothing can bring Master Rhino back." Master Ox said. In the inside, he's actually furstrated that he can't do anything.

"Master Ox! Master Croc!"

The two kung fu masters look towards to where the calling was coming from. A falcon is flying towards the courtyard as it landed gracefully before the two masters.

"You're Falcon from the Sapphire Palace, correct?" Master Croc said as the falcon bowed in front of the two masters. Master Ox and Master Croc did the same gesture of respect as well.

"Yes. I have come here to send you a message from my Master, Grandmaster Lihua."

"Grandmaster Lihua? You mean the fox?" Master Croc asked.

"Yes." she replied. "She wishes to ask you a favor."

"A favor?" Master Ox asked.

Few hours later, in the Ravine of the Blue Dawn, Master Croc and Master Ox arrives at the Sapphire Palace. They were welcomed by the villagers and servants of the palace as they entered. A beautiful vixen with green eyes and slender physique was waiting for them. She's wearing a robe with floral designs and a cherry blosson brooch.

"Welcome to the Sapphire Palace." Lihua greeted them as she put a fist to her palm and bowed. Master Ox and Croc did the same gesture.

"It's been awhile, Lihua." Master Ox said.

"Yes. Yes, it has. It's also been awhile since you haven't gone on a diet." Master Lihua mocked about Master Ox's fat belly. Croc couldn't help but snickered. Ox noticed as he punched Croc in the shoulder, making Lihua giggle softly. "Please follow me to the gardens. I'll make you both some tea."

The two of the Masters Council follows Master Lihua to a lush garden behind the Sapphire Palace. The garden is very aesthetic in more ways than one. She leads them to a small open hut. Master Ox and Master Croc sits down cross-legged on the smooth floor. Lihua pours some oolong tea into three cups.

"I've been having problems with my pupils. Especially Meng Yao." Master Lihua said about one of her students, a lion. "My students are getting strong, but at the same time, getting blunt. And Mengyao is just like the obese Dragon Warrior. He's powerful, but overconfident and clumsy."

"And why did you summon us here then?" Master Ox asked as he drank his tea.

"I'm holding a tournament in a few days. The masters of the Onyx and Jade Palace have accepted to participate their students in it. I was wondering if you could help out in the final round?"

"You want us to participate as well?" Master Croc asked.

"Yes." Master Lihua took a sip of her tea and said, "I want you to teach Mengyao a lesson he'll never forget. Simple, isn't it?"

"Sounds ridicu-" Master Croc covered Master Ox's mouth before he could finish that sentence.

"What he means is that we'd be happy to help you." Master Croc said while beaming.

"Excellent. The tournament will start in 5 days. Don't be late." Master Lihua smiled.

As Master Ox and Croc left the Sapphire Palace, Ox asked Croc, "Why did you covered my mouth at that time?"

"Listen, I saved you from her. You better thank me for that."

"Why? What would she do if I said that to her face?" Master Ox asked.

"She may be sweet on the outside. But she has a short fuse when she's not in the mood. I could see it in her eyes. She was stressed. If you said that, you would've paid a great price just like Master Thundering Rhino and his dad did."

"What happened to them?"

Master Croc does a gesture to come closer in ear level. Master Ox lends him his ear as he whispered about what happened. The ox's eyes widened and made a disgusted look. Believe it or not, he was terrified about what Croc said.

"That never happened!"

"It did." Master Croc said as Master Ox gulped.

Meanwhile, at the Jade Palace, the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five are gathered in the Jade Palace. The red panda stepped in front of them.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make." Master Shifu said as he continued. "Master Lihua of the Sapphire Palace has invited all of you to attend a tournament in the Ravine of the Blue Dawn."

"Whoa. The Master Lihua!? The most graceful of all kung fu fighter!? Creator of the 5 Dances of Beautiful Suffering!?" The panda excitedly said.

"Yes. That would be the one." Master Shifu said. This wasn't the first time Po acted like a fan of kung fu which he still is one. "Anyways, I've entered all of you in the tournament just to see how strong all of you are. So, I want you all to pack up your things. We're leaving in the morning." With that, Shifu retreated to his chambers.

"A tournament! This is gonna be awesome!" Po exclaimed excitedly.

Review are wlecome. I tried my best.
