Kung Fu Panda 5: Rise of the Fallen by

Mitchicus

Chapter 1: Rise of Darkness

A month has passed since the heroes of the Jade Palace and their allies defeated Fernando and his giant army. General Salvius had returned with his army to Lupania, Machai and his warriors returned to Shan Fen, and Tiger and Leopard warriors returned to their villages. Mitchicus, the Lightning Warrior, had recently married a beautiful girl, Tigress. The two Tigers now prepared for their honeymoon, and Po and the others resumed normal training.

Grand Master Shifu meditated in the Hall of Heroes, right in front of the reflective pool. Suddenly, the old master was caught in a vision.

The old master saw the Jade Palace being fired upon by cannons, a raging fire, and then his students leaning over a dying man on Wu Dan Mountain. Master Shifu could not tell who this was.

The Red Panda escaped his vision and found himself back in the Hall of Heroes. The old master sighed, and wondered what to do. He knew that this was a vision of the future, whether it could be changed or not. Should he tell his students of what he saw? Or should he keep it to himself, and figure out how to change the fate of the man he saw dying. He decided not to tell the students, mainly because he wanted his son in law, Mitchicus, and his daughter, Tigress, to fully enjoy themselves on their honeymoon.

Shifu exited the Hall of Heroes and went down to the Training Hall. He knew that it was lunch break for the masters, but he knew that Tigress and Mitch would use this time to continue training together…alone. Shifu opened the door and found it empty. He heard a noise and turned to find Mitch and Tigress. Tigress was pressed against the wall, and she embraced Mitchicus as they kissed passionately. Grand Master Shifu coughed, and the two tigers stopped what they were doing and turned to the master, a bit embarrassed. Shifu let out a laugh.

"Shouldn't you two be saving that for the honeymoon?" Shifu asked them.

Tigress grinned. "We couldn't resist."

Mitch smiled and nodded. Shifu then walked up to them.

"I don't see why you can't wait. You're leaving tomorrow for the honeymoon, which Mitch asked me not to tell you where." Shifu said.

Those that were close to Mitchicus called him Mitch, but those that were only friends usually called him by his full name.

"And I thank you for keeping to that." Mitch replied.

Tigress looked at the White Tiger. "Yeah, where are you taking me?"

Mitch looked at her and smiled. "It's a surprise, you'll have to wait."

"I hate waiting." Tigress grumbled.

Mitch patted her on the back. "Once we get there, I'm certain that you'll love it."

Tigress looked at him seductively and grinned. "I'm sure I will."

Shifu scratched his ear, for he was uneasy. "A week's break from training will be good for you too. And once you get back, it will be Kung Fu Day."

Mitch looked down at the panda. "Kung Fu Day?"

Shifu nodded. "The valley has tried to make a holiday that gives thanks to all of the Kung Fu masters for protecting them, but has had no such luck in making it official…until now."

Mitch scratched his scar. "Holidays' are good, you get lots of sleep and get to eat a few more dumplings."

Tigress laughed. "You would say that."

Mitch shoved her in a playful way and she followed afterwards. Shifu smiled. He was happy that his daughter was so mad in love, for Mitch was the perfect guy for her.

"I'll let you two be, but don't play rough." Shifu said smiling.

"We'll try to." Mitchicus said before being tackled by his wife.

Shifu walked out the door and closed it. He went to the kitchen and found the Five (excluding Tigress), Po, and Tai Lung. They all were eating dumplings, which Po had just made. Tai Lung was the only one who did not eat, and just sat with his bowl of dumplings in front of him. Shifu noticed this.

"Is something wrong, Tai Lung?" Shifu asked.

The Snow Leopard picked up his chopsticks and moved the dumplings around in his bowl.

"It's nothing, Master Shifu. I just have a lot on my mind." The leopard replied.

Po turned to Tai Lung and grinned.

"You're not thinking about Su Wu, are you? Have a crush on one of the most notorious villains in all of China?" Po asked.

Tai Lung did not say anything, and continued to move his dumplings. Shifu glared at Po and the Panda returned to his food. Mitchicus and Tigress soon walked into the kitchen and sat at the table.

Monkey grinned. "You two done making out?"

Mitch grabbed Monkey by the throat and began to squeeze.

"You have something to say to me and Tigress, Monkey?" Mitch asked.

Monkey shook his head and gasped for air.

"Good," Mitch released Monkey, who began to breathe heavily after being choked.

Shifu looked at Mitch. "Lightning Warrior," The Red Panda said to the White Tiger sternly.

Mitch bowed his head. "Forgive me master, I was trying to make sure that Monkey was not choking on his dumplings."

Mantis and Crane laughed, but were silenced when Viper hissed. Shifu smiled and nodded, and then the old master sat down at the table.

Mitch tasted the dumplings and flicked his tail in happiness.

"Once again Po, you did excellent on the dumplings." The White Tiger said.

Po nodded and mumbled a "thank you" with his mouth full of the food. Mitchicus turned to Master Shifu.

"Master Shifu, is everything all right?" Mitch asked the old master.

Master Shifu sighed and looked up at him.

"I'm trying to think of what I'm going to do without you and Tigress here. Po, Monkey, and Mantis will destroy the place." Shifu lied.

Mitch smiled and nodded. Whether Master Shifu had lied to him or not, Mitch did not care. He would respect the master's privacy. Tigress tapped her foot on the ground, anxious for her trip to their honeymoon tomorrow. Mitch noticed this.

"Are you nervous or something?" Mitch asked her.

Tigress shook her head. "No my love, I'm just a little anxious until we leave for the honeymoon."

Mitch laughed. "There's no reason to be anxious about that."

Tigress was worried. She loved Mitch with all her heart, but she did not want to become pregnant…yet. She knew that she would not be able to train when she was expecting, and raising a cub would be difficult with the duties of Kung Fu. The main reason was that she feared that her time with Mitch would be much less. She didn't want a cub to keep them apart, and she wanted to spend as much time with Mitch that she could.

Mitch finished his dumplings.

"I hope I didn't have too many, otherwise I won't be able to train." Mitchicus laughed.

Soon the Furious Five, Po, and Tai Lung finished their food. Tai Lung left a couple dumplings, and gave them to Po, who ate them quickly. Shifu remained at the table with only one dumpling eaten.

"Go and do your normal training. I will join you later." Shifu said to them.

The students nodded and left the room. Shifu put his hands on his head. How was he going to save the one he saw?


Mitchicus and Tigress stood near the front gate.

"We'll be back in a week. Be good for us while we're gone." Mitch said to the Furious Five.

Mantis grinned. "Go easy on Tigress; she isn't used to what you're going to do to her."

Mitch tightened his fist. "Say one more word about my wife like that, and I'll squash you, bug."

"I didn't say anything!" Mantis lied.

"That's what I thought."

Tigress turned to Viper. "Try to survive with the four of them."

"I'll try." Viper said.

Mitch shook hands with Tai Lung.

"Take care of yourself." Mitch said smiling.

Tai Lung laughed. "I will,"

Mitch turned and put his arm around Tigress. The two left the valley for the honeymoon.


The blizzard intensified. Su Wu walked back into the large house and sat at the table. Pantelis grinned.

"I see that you've cared to join us, Su." Pantelis said.

The Spotted Leopard nodded.

"Is something on your mind?" Pantelis asked her.

Su shook her head.

Brutus laughed. "She's probably thinking about Tai Lung. I never had problems fighting for someone I loved. Everyone I loved, I killed."

Su looked at him and snarled, but the crocodile was not frightened. Lord Shen sharpened his knives at the table.

"Pantelis, when do we travel to the Jade Palace?" The Peacock asked.

"Tomorrow," Pantelis answered. "Su, I need you and your sisters to travel to Monso Forest. I have received word that Mitchicus and his wife will be having a honeymoon there soon. They will be exhausted from making love, so I hope they will be easy kills for you. Can you do this for me, or will you fail me yet again?"

Su growled. "There won't be anything there to stop us."

Pantelis nodded. "I hope so."

Su left and went to find her sisters.

"Shen," The Amur Leopard called.

"Yes?" Shen asked.

"Ready the army and the cannons. We have quite a show for the Jade Palace soon."

The Peacock smiled. "A pleasure to do so,"

Shen left and went to ready the army and his cannons. Pantelis was left with the two reptiles.

"Fernando, Brutus,"

"Yes Pantelis?" They asked.

"Pack your things. We leave early in the morning."

Fernando grinned. "Vengeance is almost upon us."

Pantelis nodded. "Yes it is."

Fernando and Brutus left the room. Only Pantelis remained.

Pantelis was trained in Kung Fu, and was also a master in black magic. This is how Shen, Fernando, and Brutus were now alive. Pantelis had hired the Wu Sisters as assassins a week before Fernando and his army was defeated. The scheme he planned however had been planned for years. And now it was about to go into effect.

The leopard looked down at the table he sat at. A list was there, which had the names of the Dragon Warrior, the Lightning Warrior, the Furious Five, Tai Lung, Shifu, and Oogway. Master Oogway's name was cut through. Pantelis grinned and picked up the list. He walked over to the fireplace and looked at the list one more, before throwing it into the fire. The list caught fire and burned in the inferno.

"A storm is coming, and you all will be swept away."

A/N: Mitch and Tigress leave for the honeymoon and Pantelis is about to leave for the Jade Palace. The main theme song of this story is "Judge and Jury" from the Prometheus trailer, by Audiomachine. This sets the mood for all of the suspense and peril of this story. This is my third story on Fanfiction, and this is the third installment of a series of stories, starting at KFP 3. I recommend reading the first two stories: Rise of the White Tiger, and Saviors of China, before reading this. Next chapter: The Honeymoon. This story is rated M because of this chapter, because it contains a graphic love scene between Mitch and Tigress, otherwise it would be T. Readers uncomfortable with this are recommended to skip chapter 2 and read the third chapter when it arrives. The future will contain battles, so stay tuned. Please review, share, comment, and please, no flames!
