Don't Give Up
A/N Hey guys I'm back from my vacation in Portugal. I came up with this while I was away. I hope you enjoy.
Ch 1
Po was in agony as he made it to the doors of the Jade Palace.
He then fainted.
"Jeez Po are you okay?" he heard a soft voice say.
It belonged to a human kid, the second Dragon Warrior and his student.
She was very shy and had low self esteem but was learning to be strong.
She had short black and red hair, glasses, slender bodied and had a symbol cane in her left hand.
It helped her see and made others aware of her being half blind.
"I'll be fine Carley…. Oww… everything just hurts at once." He replied trying not to show how hurt he was.
"It's okay to be upset or cry. These wounds and stuff look sore!
Wait here, okay?
I'll be right back." She replied going inside for a minute but came out with a kid like her but with long chestnut hair, dark brown eyes.
She was the second Dragon Warrior's best and only friend besides Po but he knew they were more than friends now.
"What happened to him?" she asked as she helped lift Po up to his feet.
They went into the kitchen and locked the door so Shifu and the others wouldn't come in.
Leah watched as her friend began to clean up her Master's cuts and wounds.
"Bring me some iodine so I clean up the sctatches on his arm." Carley said to her.
"Oh no, not that stuff!" Po said wincing from pain and fear.
"It'll be okay Po. I need to do this because I care about you and don't want to see you hurt or in immense agony like this.
Besides what would Shifu say seeing you like this or Tigress?" his student told him.
"Wait I know something that might help distract him like when you have to get shots at the doctor's." Leah told her.
She and Po watched as she put a tray of peanut butter jelly cookies beside him.
She watched as her friend put the iodine on him.
"What happened to you that you were like that, wounded when you got here?" they asked him.
"Promise not to tell Shifu?
He'd be angry." Po replied to them.
"We won't. You can trust us." Leah told him.
"I'll show you guys through the meditation thing I taught you guys." He said to them.
In his mind's eye…
Po had been visiting his Dad at the noodle shop.
He'd taken a short cut through an alley way when somebody stepped out from under the shadows.
He was a panda like him with orange eye slits, wore black robes and black wide brimmed hat that hid his identity.
"Who're you? What do you want?" Po asked him.
"Hello, nephew.
I've been waiting to meet you, the so called Dragon Warrior.
Enough talk, let's see what you've got!
My name is Zabuki." He answered Po.
Po lunged using panda style but Zabuki had blocked him.
Po kept trying but kept getting beat up.
Zabuki then pinned him to the wall.
"So much for you. You're nothing but a loser.
I'll keep messing with you since it's so muh fun.
See you around Po." He cackled disappearing…
"Oh Po you tell anyone especially Shifu and you'll be finished and wished Tai-Lung had killed you!" Zabuki warned.
Po then staggered to his feet and was worried….
The two teens were shocked as they heard that,
Leah watched as Carley ran out of there.
"Will she be okay? She looks freaked." Po said to her as he walked off with her.
Shifu heard noises come from the training hall and went to check it out.
He found Carley working out on the Clubs of Oblivion and the rest of the training equipment.
"Are you okay young Dragon Warrior/
You seem distressed. You know you can tell us or Po anything." He said to her.
"Yeah I… know. I'm just in the mood to train." She replied.
He saw tears in her eyes but she was holding them back.
He walked out of there.
Po sighed as he saw Carley train alone with pain and sorrow in her eyes.
"Poor kid. She's very worried about me.
I knew that showing her what happened tonight would upset her.
I need to talk to her." He thought as she left.
Leah was looking through her girl friend's door.
She was lying on her bed with her arms wrapped around her ogre doll.
Tears ran from her face.
"She's upset about me isn't she?" he asked her.
"Yeah but she's remememering all the jerks in her life who picked on her.
The plushie makes her feel better when upset like when you're upset, you eat." Leah told him.
He was unaware that a pair of orange eyes were watching his student.
"Like master, like student, a loser." Zabuki thought as he watched them.
But somebody entered the training room.
It was a new Master.
She was a female tiger with purple fur, amber eye slits, slender but looked like Tigress.
Her name was Sha-kia and she was Tigress's twin sister...
