Chapter 1 new techniques

On a quiet blissful day the furious 5 and the dragon warrior were training like normal. They would train for a couple of hours after breakfast then break for chores. Then they would train for a couple after chores and then have lunch. Normally they would go back to training after lunch but po had an announcement.

"Ok, guys I have an announcement to make." po said as he was fidgeting with his fingers.

"Yes po, what is it?" shifu asked. Everyone else looked at po to hear what he had to say.

"Well, I don't know how to say this, but here goes." po said as he paused to make sure everyone was listening. "I'm leaving." po finally said. Everyone gasp at what he said.

"Uh, po are you sure about this?" monkey asked.

"Yeah, I'm only going to train and hone my skills." po said to assure he would be back.

"I see, well, do you know where you are going to train?" shifu asked.

"No, I thought I would go to a clearing outside of the village." po said with a sheepish smile.

"How long do you think you will be gone for? Tigress asked.

"Hmmm, I thought about that and I made my decision." po said. "5 months." po told everyone.

"I see, so do you think you will be able to beat me after?" tigress teased with a grin.

"I don't know, maybe." po said ignoring her teasing tone.

"When are you going?" viper asked with a small hint of sadness of her friend leaving.

"Yea, and who will cook us noodles if you're gone?"

"(smiles) easy guys, I'm not leaving until next week, and I'll be teaching one of you how to cook." po said as he looked at everyone.

"Who are you going to teach?" crane and monkey asked in unison.

"Well, I don't know, to cook my noodles you will need a good set of paws and have confidence to cook." everyone looked at each other and then at tigress.

"Wait, you want me to learn how to cook Po's noodles?" tigress asked as she looked back at everyone.

"You don't have to learn if you don't want to, I'll teach master shifu." po said with a frown. Tigress hated to see po sad and since there battle with shen a couple of months ago she has grown to care for po much more then the others.

"I'll learn how to cook your noodles po." tigress spoke with care in her tone to cheer po up.

"Really, that will be awesome, and it's really simple to." po said to encourage her to learn.

"then it is settle, for this week po will be teaching tigress how to cook and he will set off on his 5 month training next week." shifu said before leaving. Everyone finished there dinner and headed off to bed.

One week later po was ready to go off on his training.

"po, before you go I have a place you can go and train in peace, but know this, this place can change you for better or worst, understand?" shifu said in one breath.

"Yes, so what is this place?" po replied.

"Good, the place is known as the kave of mastery, here I took the liberty of drawing up a map for you." shifu said as he handed over the map.

"thanks." po replied. He turns to viper who was standing next to shifu. "Hey, keep those 2 from getting into trouble without me." "Sure thing po." viper replied as she gave him a hug. Po then turns to crane. "Crane, bud, keep being awesome." po said as he gave crane a thumbs up. "You got it po." crane replied as he gave po thumbs up. (or what looks like a thumbs up) po turns to monkey and mantis. "were going to miss you po." monkey said. "I'm going to miss your noodles." mantis sobs but earns a whack on the head from viper. "and you, I'm going to miss you to." mantis added. po laughed. "yea, I'll miss you guys as well." po said as he placed a hand monkey's shoulder and fist bump/body slam mantis. po then turns to tigress. "well, time for me to go." po said as he looked down with a smile. "yea, just make sure you come back with a challenge for me." tigress said to spike up Po's competitive side. "what, are you kidding me, when I come back you won't be able to lay a finger on me." po replied with a grin. tigress then puts one finger under his chin and put her face in front of his. "we shall see." tigress teased. po was stunned as how close tigress's face came close to his. just inches from what could have been. po then shook it off as he turn to go and train. once he was a few feet away he heard a voice. "po, wait." po turn to see who was calling him, but when he turned around he found that tigress was kissing him.

while watching po leave something made tigress call him and run over to him and kiss him. when she saw that he was turned she lunged at him to close the gap quicker. a few minutes go by and they broke for air. everyone was shocked as to see tigress make such a move. shifu was the first to regain his composure. everyone else remained surprised.

"what was that for?" po asked while dazed a little.

"for a goodbye and something to look forward to when you get back." tigress responded.

"oh, I see, in that case I will definitely be back." po said with a teased. with that done po left this time with his head held high. tigress walked back to stand next to her comrades and fellow masters.

"I knew you had it in you." viper said with a playful tone. the others were still stunned so they said nothing.

"all right students, back to training." shifu said as he smiled some what at tigress. "tigress may I have a word with you?" shifu asked.

"yes master." tigress responded. but looked as if she was going to get an ear full.

"I just want to ask are sure about you and po?" shifu asked. this surprised the female tiger.

"(looking back to where po was) yes master." she said softly.

"very well, now off to training." shifu said with a smile. as he watched her walk to the training hall he turned back to where walked off. at first his father instincts wanted to come out but this was po, as he knew he could trust po.

3 months later. a normal day at the jade palace where everyone was training except tigress who was returning from an errand. she just made past the palace doors when she turn around. she felt a presence come from behind her but no one was there. she stood there looking for another minutes when she saw some one walking up the steps. she immediately recognized who it was and ran towards him. she was close enough for po to hear her running and looked up and smile, he was about 3/4th of the way up when she jumped into his arms. po caught her and hugged her.

"well some one is glad to see me." po said.

"I am glad to see you, I thought you said you were going to be gone for 5 months?" tigress said with out breaking her hug.

po then became serious. "something has come up, I need to tell everyone something serious." po seriousness broke tigress from the hug as she looked him in the eye.

"what is it, bandits working for a evil lord or some one like tai lung?" tigress asked.

"worst." po replied with, and judging by the seriousness in his voice he was not kidding.

"right, everyone's in training right now." tigress told po.

"not anymore, if this is something po is serious about then we need to hear what he has to say." shifu said as he startled tigress.

"ahhhh, master shifu, I didn't hear you." tigress screamed as she turned around quickly.

"right, I'd say it's about dinner time so I can explain everything then." po said with a smile. shifu nodded in agreement.

"I'll go tell everyone it is dinner time." shifu said as he turns to walk up the steps.

"I can do that." po responded with a grin.

"po, master shifu would be faster." tigress said.

"not this time." po replied with a bigger grin.

"it that a challenge I hear?" shifu teased with a grin.

"hmm, not a challenge for me but for you maybe." po said with a grin still.

"ok, I'll see you up there." shifu said as he turned around to start running but was stopped.

"would you guys mind if I joined?" tigress asked with a smirk.

"I don't mind." po said as he stood there with a smirk still on his face.

"very well." shifu agreed. just like that tigress and shifu were ahead of po. in mere seconds they were at the top where they saw po. both shifu and tigress were shocked to see po already at the top as they saw he was way behind them.

"how...when..." was all tigress said.

"when you guys were about half way between me and the top, and how I will explain over dinner." po said as he vanished into the wind. tigress had a smile but shifu was stunned.

in front of the training hall. po burst in. "all right students." po imitating shifu. the furious 5 that were training bow. "yes master shifu." they all said in unison but heard laughter from po. they all looked to see po was there. "po." they said in excitement.

"ha ha ha, oh you guy should have seen the look on your guy's face." they all ignored Po's little joke and greeted him.

"welcome back po." crane said.

"yea, how was your trip." viper added.

"hey guys, it's good to see you and I'll tell you about my training later, it's dinner time and there is something I have to tell everyone." po said as he calmed down and became serious.

everyone was sitting and waiting for po to tell them. po made dinner with the help of tigress. once dinner was done po turned to his friends. "order up." as po usually says. he past a bowl of noodles to everyone as he took his seat next to tigress.

right when po was about to eat someone spoke up. "so po, what do you have to tell us." po looked up at who asked and looked at tigress with a serious face.

"well, master shifu, does the name deadbone mean anything to you?" as soon as po asked shifu went wide eye.

"how...how do you know that name?" she stuttered. po knew he couldn't tell them yet as he needed to get more info on him anyways.

"it came to me in a dream, and master oogway told me to warn you and the others." shifu could see po lied but could guess why so he left it at that for now.

"well to start, he was another student of master oogways, and he was evil and dark beyond tai lung's capabilities."

everyone gasp at shifu's words.

"then we half to stop him, no matter what." po said as he looked serious.

"po he is capable of things beyond our world, how do you expect to beat him?" shifu said as he regained his composure.

"easy, with some of the new techniques I learned. po said as he smiled.

ok, so oogway had another student? well, that was never in the kung fu history scrolls. well there is my first chapter of my KFP story. till next time bye.
