After two days of training, Neyo completely mastered the Luse Buzhu Glove and could shoot the boomerang with ease.

"Congratulations, my young friend. You mastered the Luse Buzhu Glove faster than I did at your age." Gunta complimented him.

"Thanks, Gunta." Neyo said as he looked at the glove on his hand the boomrang with it which he decided to put into his belt of Chi sticks. "That's another Arritochan trick to add in my arsenal."

Tiankong suddenly returned with the female bird that she left to train with. "Hey, Opposum." She said with giving him a friendly nudge.

"Tiankong. What did you learn?" Neyo asked.

"Oh, just a few new close combat skills. What about you? Did you got the hang of this glove?"

"Yup." He said with a nod. "I'm a real shooter now."

"We must go now: there's a sandstorm getting nearby and I'd like to return to the city before it reaches us." Tiankong was right: the sand was flying harder across the landscape since this morning. A sandstorm was coming toward them beyond the shadow of a doubt.

"We need to go now. Thanks again for everything, Gunta! Let's go, Tiankong!" Neyo said and the two hedgehogs rushed to the Tacos and got ready to leave. Suddenly, another Arritochan vehicule arrived with one of their friends piloting.

"Neyo! Tiankong!" He screamed at them through the strong wind. "Four of our wastelanders are lost out there who have still not reported in! Xie Zhen wants you to go out and find them before the storm arrives!"

"Okay! We got it!" Neyo nodded before starting the vehicule and started driving across the desert after putting his protection goggles on.

The duo drove through the desert for a few minutes and managed to find three out of the four watselanders who they brought back to save spots nearby. "Three down: one remaining, Opposum!" Tiankong screamed at her pilot friend through the wind which was getting stronger and stronger by the minutes.

As they arrived at the location of the fourth one, they were surprised to find nothing but a corpse of an hedgehog in the sand. They both went out of the Tacos to check his pulse, but Neyo shook his head.

"It's too late!"

Tiankong looked down before saying: "Let's go back to the city!"

Neyo nodded and was about to go back in the vehicule before he suddenly heard a voice calling for him through the win: "NEYO!"

"Huh?" He turned toward the source of the noise. "I heard someone calling me!"

He looked at the horizon and saw two familiar figures walking through the sandstorm. Once they were close enough, Neyo gasped. "MONKEY! MIZUFUSEN!"

He was happy to see his monkey and frog friends arriving. "Follow us!" The first one said through the wind.

Neyo and Tiankong followed them to a cave into rocks located near a small oasis which explained how they managed to survive. Once they were safe from the sandstorm, Neyo hugged his two friends. "I'm so happy to see you two!" He then broke from the hug and turned toward Tiankong. "Tiankong, these are my friends from the Valley of Peace, Master Monkey and Mizufusen."

"Hi." She said and shook hands with them. "But what are you doing here? Kung Fu masters aren't exactly welcome into the Hedgehog Clan's territory."

"Master Shifu tasked us with following you and making sure nothing bad happens. But from the look of things, nothing has gone wrong." Monkey explained and looked at Neyo's new appearance.

"Yeah. It took me a lot of time, but now, I'm a true Arritochan warrior and I mastered all their technology." He said all proud of himself.

"So that means you can come back now?" Mizu suddenly interrupted. "The reason Master oogway wanted you to come here was that so you could master the Arritochan's way. Now that it's done, we can back to the Valley and get ready for the defense."

Neyo had completely forgot! It was true: he came here to learn the Arritochan's way from the Hedgehog Clan. But now that it was done, he had to return to China quick. He nodded before turning toward Tiankong.

"Tiankong, come back to China with us, please! The Valley of Peace is a real nice place and my friends will welcome you into our rank like one of us."

She smiled and gave him a poke to the nose. "Of course I'll go with you, Neyo: you're my friend and we've been working together ever since you first came to the clan. Xie Zhen can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned, he's not even that good of a leader."

This made Neyo smile. "Can we go with that vehicule of yours?" Monkey asked.

"Yes, but it's gonna have to be tomorrow: the day has been long and tiring. And beside, Tiankong and I must package our things before leaving. We'll go back to the clan after the sandstorm, we'll rest for the night and tomorrow, we leave."

"Alright, we've got a plan." Mizu said with a smile behind her blue scarf.
