Love in the midst of war
Storm clouds gather over China as the Wolf boss preps his army for his revenge. You see, ever since the defeat of Lord Shen the wolf boss survived the whole ordeal. But when he found out that Lord Shen died he swore to himself revenge on the dragon warrior, the five, and the entire valley. He sent a message to all of the bandit clans he can find from all around China and started to unite them under his own banner. He started to prepare his army in the old industrial weapons factory the Lord Shen used to use. He started to equip them with the best amour and weapons they can forge. He chopped down any forest to fuel the furnaces The Wolf boss stood there with a military advisor at his side watching over as his army was getting prepared.
"I want the all of them armed and ready to march within 2 weeks" the Wolf boss said
"But my lord they are too many of them they all can't be armed in time, we don't have the means" his military advisor said
"Build a damn, block the rivers; work the furnaces night and day if you have to. I want my revenge" the wolf boss said angrily
"But we don't have enough wood to fuel the fires" the assistant said rationally
The wolf boss looked down from the factory and noticed a huge forest several miles north "That northern most forest lies on our doorstep...Burn it!" he ordered
"Yes!" the assistant said evilly
Meanwhile at Valley of peace Po was having a nightmare about the wolf boss returning.
Po's dreamscape
"Where…where am I?" Po said waking up in his dream. He soon realized that he is in a cell in Gongmen jail. As soon as he found out where he was a light turned on revealing Tigress in the middle of the jail tied tightly to a chair. She looked really beat up and bruised she slowly woke up and noticed Po in the jail cell. "P-Po is that you?" she said weakly
"Tigress, are you ok? Why are we in Gongmen Jail?" He asked confused
"Oh, she is far from ok" the Wolf boss said slowly coming out of the shadows and slowly pulled out his knife. "Don't you dare touch her!"
"But why would I hurt the only one you love?" he asked in an evil sarcastic tone while bringing his knife to Tigress's throat
"No! Don't kill her please!" Po shouted in fear
"I'm coming for you Panda! You and the entire valley for what you did to Shen. I'll bring a full army if I have to. Any last words my sweet Tigress?" the Wolf Boss asked
Tigress simply looked at Po with tears in her eyes and said "Po I….Love….you" before the wolf boss sliced her throat
Back to the real world
"Noooooo!" Po woke up screaming from his nightmare. He looked around and noticed he was in his room and calmed himself down
"Ok good it was just a dream" He said to himself feeling relieved. He heard someone knock on his door "Po it's me Tigress, may I come in?" he heard Tigress ask
"Sure Tigress you can come in" Po replied
With that Tigress slowly opened the door and sat next to Po on his bed giving him a caring smile "Po what's wrong? I heard you scream. Did you have a nightmare?" Tigress asked
"Yeah and it was a terrible one at that" Po said "What was it about? If you don't mind me asking" Tigress asked trying not to sound so intruding
"Well I remember I was being held up in one of the jail cells Gongmen Jail and I saw the Wolf boss coming out of the shadows saying that he will come to the valley for revenge on what we did to Shen and I fear he will attack soon and he said he'll even bring an army if he has to "Po said not wanting to say more on what happened to her in the dream.
"Hmm well there have been rumors of bandit tribes gathering in the mountains and a lot more raids on other villages than usual. Question is who is leading them? Maybe these dreams of yours are telling us is the Wolf Boss. Is there anything else that happened in your dream Po?" Tigress asked. As much as Po wanted to tell Tigress that she was also in his dream and that he loved her he didn't have the courage to tell her.
"N-no that's all I that happened in my dream" Po lied not wanting to tell Tigress the whole thing. He feared that Tigress wouldn't fell the same way about him but she did feel the same way fearing the same reasons that Po did.
"Ok Po I will probably talk to Master Shifu about this tomorrow until then if there is anyone you need to talk to I'm always here for you Po" Tigress said while giving Po a caring smile and returning to her room.
The next morning everybody woke up at the gong "Good morning master" they all said in unison but Po wasn't up as fast of the five were as usual "Panda! Wake up!" Shifu shouted
Po woke up and slowly came out of his room still slightly tired from hardly getting any sleep from his dreams "Oh good morning Master sorry about that" Po said while bowing in apology
"This better not keep up Panda. You may of saved China 3 times now but that doesn't give to an excuse to sleep in!" Shifu said to Po in an annoyed tone
"Now speaking of that since China was just saved from Kai I'm giving you all a week off from training. If anyone needs me I'll be meditating" Shifu said to everybody with them bowing in respect saying "Thank you master"
With that Tigress walked up to Shifu "In fact Master Shifu I was wondering if we can talk in private?" she asked "Of course Tigress. Right this way" Shifu answered leading Tigress to his room. As soon as they got to Shifu's room Tigress closed the door behind them.
"Now Tigress what is so important that you had to talk it in private with me?" Shifu asked facing his adopted daughter.
"Well Shifu this is about Po. He has been having these nightmares lately about the Wolf Boss returning for revenge on what we did to Lord Shen. In Po's dream he said he'll even bring a huge army to attack us with and with the more than usual bandit raids around China and the rumors that these bandits are gathering in the mountains, I fear that Po's dreams are a warning of that" Tigress said
Shifu scuffed this off for he didn't believe it "You really think that a weak wolf like him would ever return? I doubt something like this would happen" Shifu said laughing a little as if it were a joke
"Master I'm being serious right now. I fear that Wolf boss survived the whole thing with Shen and he plans to return for revenge" Tigress said trying to reason with Shifu causing him to get slightly irritated
"Fine if you're so sure that he'll return I'll send you on a scouting mission into the mountains and I'll have a talk with Po about this matter." Shifu ordered Tigress
"Yes Master" Tigress said bowing in respect as she went to gather some supplies for the mission.
As soon as Tigress left for the scouting mission Shifu went to see Po to talk about his nightmares. But as soon as Shifu came to Po's room door he heard Po talking to himself
"I really want to tell Tigress how I feel about her. I do really love her, I wonder if she feels the same way about me" Po said to himself while pacing back and forth in his room
As soon as Shifu heard this his angry irrational side started to kick in. He feared that he would break his daughter's heart or that she wouldn't feel the same way. Pretty soon he opened Po's door quickly
"NO I FORBID YOU FROM DOING ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH HER! You will just break her heart!" Shifu shouted at Po leaving him shocked
"Master Shifu!? You don't know that for sure! But I'm going to tell her my feelings for her no matter what you say! I would never do ANYTHING bad to her" Po shouted back. With this Shifu thought of an irrational ultimatum
"Well Panda I find that hard to believe you are going to drop your feelings for Tigress or you will be banished from the valley forever!" Shifu said strictly leaving Po shock that he would do such a thing
"WHAT!? No I can't simply drop my feelings for the one I love and I just can't leave everything I love behind!" Po said still shocked
"Then you leave me no choice you are here by banished from the valley of peace you shall pack up and leave immediately!" Shifu ordered leaving Po saddened but knowing he can't reason with Shifu's irrational side
Po soon packed up his things and said his goodbyes to the rest of the five except for Tigress for she was out on her scouting mission. But they were also saddened by the fact that Shifu banished him but knew how stubborn and irrational he can be. Po then walked down the stairs still sad and crying and he walked to his father's noodle shop to say goodbye to him.
Po soon walked in "Hey dad." He said in a sad tone
"Po it's good to see you. But why do you look so sad?" Mr. Ping asked concerned
"Well dad I'm in love with Tigress but Master Shifu feared that I would break her heart. I tried to explain to him that I would never do such a thing to her but he didn't listen. So I'm sorry to say this dad but he banished me from the Valley of Peace forever" Po sadly said leaving Mr. Ping shocked and saddened
"Oh Po I can't believe Master Shifu would do something so terrible to you. To banish you from the valley forever" Mr. Ping said crying and hugging his son close
"I know dad I'm so sorry that I'm leaving but I have no other choice" Po said also crying and embracing his dad in a tight hug.
"Ok Po I'm going to miss you and I hope Shifu will soon see his mistake in banishing you" Mr. Ping said breaking the hug
"Im going to miss you too dad goodbye" Po said sadly as he packed the rest of his things and slowly left the valley crying never to be seen again…..for now.
