Boom. Back for another chapter. Enjoy.

I DON'T OWN KUNG FU PANDA.

I felt a headache coming along as soon as my eyes open. But what I saw made me wonder. I was not in any new land or place, but instead I was back home. I look up where my poster of a fire breathing dragon, I look around and heard my alarm clock sounding off with the national anthem playing. Could that have been only a dream? It felt so real. I felt my face where the tiger punches me and felt no pain or bruise there, I got out of bed and ran towards my dresser to look in the mirror to see my face, my ordinary face. That's when I saw a lump on my bed move. I reached towards my closet and took out my revolver, as soon as I got it I checked the barrel to see if it was loaded (it was). I moved towards my bed while reaching for the covers while my right hand held my weapon. Removing the cover from the figure I saw her, my girlfriend was sleeping there shivering. She woke up and saw me with my gun.

"What's wrong? Is someone inside the house?" She was scared.

I then let the gun slip out of my hands and I just rushed towards her and gave her a hug while tears where coming down my face.

"Maria" I was so relieved to see her again. "I had an awful dream where I died and left you" I was so relieved to see another human being.

"You did Humberto." She said in a regular tone.

I broke the hug and looked at her as if she had gone crazy. "What are you talking about?!" I hoped that she was just kidding because I didn't want to leave this world.

"You died and left all of your friends, family and me." She stood up from the bed and walked towards the window. She opened it and all I could see was a bright light. "Just surrender to the light" She said in a seductive and tempting tone.

Wait a minute. She never loved talking seductively, she is terrible at it the one time she tried.

"Hey Maria, remember when we met in Chicago while in the coffee shop?" I wanted to be sure.

She twitched a little and looked at me. "Yes I do. I loved you at that time I saw you." She said batting her eyelashes.

"You're not Maria. Who are you!?"

Her face turned to one of a ghost like creature. It held me up to its face and it looked like it was going to eat my face. My gun was gone and I tried to fight but I couldn't, all I could do was wait until the end.

Wake up!

I was awoken by a splash of cold water to the face. I shook my head like a dog would while coughing. I couldn't open my eyes and I tried to rub them but when I tried my arms where chained to a wall so I tried to listen with my new hearing ability. I was able to identify that there are three people in the room with me. After a few seconds of shacking my head, I was able to open my eyes. My vision was blurry and was covered by darkness all around me. After my vision was clear I looked in front of me and saw darkness then I concentrated hard and when I opened my eyes I sensed that they were glowing. I looked at the darkness again and I saw a panda, some type of raccoon looking creature, and the bitch who knocked me out behind some jail bars.

"Why did you punch me kitty cat?" I sounded like such a jerk but I was so pissed of right now.

I heard a growl come at me and then I felt pain on my face as I felt the pain on my check.

"Be careful what you say stranger, Tigress can attack you if she wants to." The little raccoon said.

"Well if I'm going to be a prisoner here can I at least know the names of my captors?" I wanted to know who these people are to determine if they should keep their teeth or not.

After the panda opened a small window the sunlight shined into the room and burned my eyes a little. After adjusting to the light I was able to see everything better and saw all three figure a lot better.

"Watch who you are talking to you worthless scoundrel. This is the great grand master Shifu." Tigress yelled out.

"Never heard of him, but then again I'm new to this land so I don't even know who you people are." I was telling the truth but if they do ask me questions about my life I might have to twist the truth a little.

"Well allow me to enlighten you stranger." Shifu said walking towards the prison bars. "I am great grand master Shifu of the Jade Palace. And these are but a few of my students who protect China and the valley of peace. This is Po Ping the dragon warrior and this is Master Tigress master of the tiger style and my daughter." Shifu said in an ordinary tone.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Hunter a soldier and an officer of the law. I would walk up to you to shake your hand but as you can see, I'm chained to the wall" I was trying not to be a smart ass but when the moment presents itself I just can't help myself. Po was laughing at that comment until he got a death glare from tigress and he just put his head down and was trying to avoid her.

"I am sorry Hunter but this is the best I can do for a criminal who just robbed Superintendent Woo's royal carriage that where filled with gold and rubies." He said as if I was being executed.

HAHAHAHAHA. They looked at me with disbelief and tigress just unlocks the door and punched me in the gut. I was wheezing and groaning from the pain. I was also coughing and trying to catch my breath.

"Well….. If you want…. The truth... then let…me….explain." I was talking in breaths. After a minute of catching my breath I was breathing normally.

"Shifu if-

"That's Grand Master Shifu to you!" tigress yelled at me.

"Fine. Grand Master Shifu if you will allow me to explain my side of the story you will see that you are all making a big mistake. Also, why did you allow her to punch me?" I was already bruised and starving so when she punched me I felt my organs.

"To answer your second question. When talking to me or any of the masters, you should talk with respect towards us. And you do realize that there are witnesses that say that you attacked the carriage." He looked at me to see what my reactions would be.

"Well its part true. If you will allow me to explain." I looked at him.

He just nodded.

"Well I was in the forest lost. Like I said I'm new to China and I was wandering to see if I could find a place to stay. As I was walking I heard a scream near me, I went to investigate and was sticking to the shadows. There was five wolves armed and there was rhinos on the ground probably unconscious or killed. I heard a wolf try to convince the other wolves to rob only carriage and leave the rhinos unharmed. Then the leader who was grey said to kill them, no survivors. I couldn't stand by and let innocent civilians die. So with my crossbow I targeted the closest wolf. After taking down two wolves I killed the other wolves and saved the guards, but I heard other guards screaming at me saying that I was the one who caused the attack. I didn't want to be persecuted so I ran from the battle. Eventually walking to the valley of peace and to the noodle shop, that's where the goose hit me and well… you know the rest." I was convinced that they believe me until I saw the po and tigress leave.

"I'm sorry Hunter, but they have evidence against you. There is nothing I can do. Some royal guards will come in 2 days to transport you to prison." Shifu said with a frown on his face.

"Listen Shifu, I know that you think I'm innocent because of your actions during my story. So let me tell you this, will you live with yourself knowing that you sent an innocent civilian to prison for a crime that he did not commit.?" I didn't want to go to prison so I just played the guilt card hopping that he will fall for it.

"Be that as it may. I cannot send an innocent civilian to prison, but I cannot do anything until there is evidence that you did not do this crime. I'm sorry." He was about to leave until I heard him. "Forgive me oogway."

That's when I remembered oogway. "Wait Shifu. I was sent by oogway!" I saw Shifu stop and turned around and walked into my cell while putting what looks like a staff and puts it in my throat.

"What did you say!?" He was furious and glaring at me if he was about to kill me.

"Like I said. I am not from around here. All I know is that oogway sent me here to help you and your team to defeat an evil that will be coming. I don't know what it is, but he said I will need my weapons to defeat this evil." I was scared because I didn't want to die for a second time.

"Tell me then Hunter, When you saw oogway what did he look like?" Shifu was so close to me that I smelled his breath.

"He was wearing a toga like thing and was a tortoise who was elderly and was so wise." That was the only thing I was able to remember about him. "Oh and he told me to tell his student Hello" I was shaking now that I saw his face and it showed no emotion.

"Hm. Did he say when this evil will be coming?" Shifu said backing away and rubbing his beard.

"He didn't tell me. But if I'm going to help you, then I have some requests." Shifu then looked at me with a confused look.

"What do you want?" He said in an interested tone.

"Well for starters I will need my own room, a place to train, my weapons back, and I want you to tell the valley of peace that I am not an enemy." The first three things were true but the last request was only for me. I hated when people see me as an enemy.

"I can accept the first two demands but the rest needs time to gain them." Shifu was looking at me seriously. I didn't want to push my luck, I was thankful that he was giving me a place to train and to sleep.

"Alright Shifu." I needed to agree or stay here and be taken away to prison.

Shifu took the staff and broke my chains. I was rubbing my wrists and saw Shifu leaving, I followed him and soon I was outside. The cool breeze felt amazing on my fur. I could tell that it was going to be winter soon because of the temperature and the leafless tree on a hill. Even though it was cold I felt warm because of my fur. Then Shifu continued walking and soon was meet with a stair case and soon we walked towards a huge area. He opened the door and I followed him inside. As soon as I walked in, I was tackled to the ground by an orange blur. Thankfully my training prepared me for this and I landed on my hands to do a few backflips, but during my third flip I was hit in the face with a jade green column. I removed my body and was in pain.

"That hurt." Was the only thing I could say while rubbing my head. Until I was pushed back to the column and had a knee to my spine and my left arm behind me. I was in agony until I broke free from the hold by using my right hand to punch my assailant in the face. And when that happened I turned around to head-butt the bastard who was hurting me. I used the move but to my dismay, I only hit air. Then I felt a punch to my ribs behind me. All I could do was kneel to the floor in pain.

"Master Monkey!"

I felt my hand break free so with both my hands I pushed myself up and turned around to see an orange monkey half of my size with his fist in his palm bowing down to Shifu.

I looked at the primate with a hateful look but then forgot about it. I was seen as an enemy and Shifu didn't tell anyone about me. So I understood what he felt when he saw me. Hell I would do the same if the situation was flipped.

"Care to explain why you attacked this wolf." Shifu said with a disappointed look at his student.

"Master, tigress informed me about this criminal and when I saw him behind you I thought he escaped and was going to kill you master." He said looking sorry for his actions. Before Shifu was about to respond I stepped in.

"It's alright monkey was it?" he just nodded. "You saw an enemy enter behind Shifu. You are protecting him. I would do the same if I saw an enemy come to my house." I then put my hand on his shoulder so he could look at me. When he did I smiled a comforting smile and he smiled at this as well, but not before he shook my hand and told me thank you for understanding. I looked over at Shifu and saw that he was looking at what I was doing and smiled a little, then he took his staff and banged it three times on the floor. Within a minute I saw 6 animals in front of me. I automatically remembered monkey, po and tigress. Then there was a praying mantis next to a green snake who stood next to an avian who had a straw hat and purple pants. I heard a growl and saw that all the animals except for monkey and po getting into a fighting style. Even though I knew how to fight I had no fighting style so I just did a boxing stance. Both of my fists where up near my face with my legs ready to move just in case I was going to be pounced again. Shifu raised his paw in the air to signal his students to stand down. After they did I also let my fists down and got into my military stance. Both my hands where behind me while I stood up straight and looked forward with both my feet straight forward. I could tell that the animals where confused about what I was doing but I couldn't fight instincts. After a minute to breathe Shifu walked passed all his students then looked at them all.

"Students. I am very aware that you all know who this is. But for some time, he will stay in the jade palace as a guest."

All his students looked at him and screamed the same thing. "WHAT!?"

I was hurt a little knowing that they can't give me a chance. It was like the orphanage all over again. I was squinting while trying not to cry since I tried to forget that life. Until I heard a voice of hope.

"I hope you enjoy your time here." I opened my eyes to see a green snake in front of me. I couldn't help but smile and thanked her.

I saw everyone grunt and leave. But tigress was the first to storm off out of the room to go to her room and didn't come out for the rest of the night because she was angry.

Easy Humberto. They will warm up to you in time. I said trying to keep my hopes up.

That is when Shifu pulled me aside to explain the rules to me. No going into the hall of heroes alone, dont enter any of the master's rooms, do not give attitude. Dont use any artifacts or steal anything or i will be arrested. And the biggest rule there is. If I am caught in a females room at night, then I wont have to worry about children ever again. Shifu was specific about that rule that he took out a blade and held it a few inches away from my balls. I nodded in agreement and I did not want to break any rules, especially the last one. Then I was free to do what I wanted. I saw Shifu turn around and walked away to his room.

While I was about to greet the masters personally. My stomach grumbled so loud that all the masters heard it. The remaining masters all look at po and rolled their eyes.

"What? That was not me. I barely ate!" po said trying to defend himself.

"Yeah sure po there is only one stomach that we hear every four hou-

"Po is telling the truth. That was my stomach. I haven't eaten in.. Hey how long was I knocked out anyways?" I was extremely curious to know.

"You have been knocked out for 18 hours." I turned around and saw Shifu.

Damn. I must work on not being able to be knocked out so easily. If that happens in combat then I am fucked.

"Ok then. So can we have lunch or dinner? Whatever meal time it is." I was trying real hard not to sound like a douche.

"Of course. I just finished making my dad's secret ingredient soup." Po said trying to cheer me up.

They all walked to the kitchen and I followed. When we reached the kitchen I took the first seat that I saw without thinking about it. I took my seat and noticed that everyone was freaked out. I couldn't keep it in.

"What!?" I always hated being the center of attention.

"That's tigress's seat." Everyone said in unison.

I was so scared thinking what the tiger can do to me. So I moved and was struggling to find a seat.

"Here I already ate." Po said while showing me where I could seat.

"Thank you po." I was sincere as I sat down.

Po then walked over to the pot filled with golden liquid and started to pour a bowl for me and his comrades. After handing me a bowl of soup he noticed that I was examining the soup.

"What's wrong Hunter? Never had secret ingredient soup?" po said about to laugh until I responded.

"Never."

Everyone dropped their spoons and chopsticks and looked at me with shocked expressions.

"Y-y-y-y-you've never had secret ingredient soup!?" po said shocked.

"What? I've never had secret ingredient soup. It's not a big deal. It's not like you guys ever ate pizza."

Oh shit. Forgot to not say thing from my world here. Ok maybe they will ignore tha-

"What's pizza?" Po said interested on food.

"Well pizza is what I call…a healthy snack I created." God damn. I don't think these people are stupid enough to fall for that.

"Ok then." Po said.

Wow. When it comes to healthy snacks, this guy gives up. Must remember that for the future.

Everyone waited for me to taste the golden liquid that po was in front of me waiting. I got the spoon on my hand and took a spoon full. I brought it up to my lips and I ate it. As soon as it touched my tongue I spin the soup out. But po was still in front of me so when I spit it out, he got a face full of his soup and my spit. I took po's cup and started to drink it. Thankfully it was green tea. When I regained my composure I looked at po and couldn't help but laugh a little. Monkey and mantis where dying of laughter while I grabbed a napkin and gave it to po.

"Sorry po. But I don't think I like this soup." I was sad because he explained to me that it takes a long time to make it and I didn't like it.

Po cleaned his face and left the kitchen without saying another word.

"Po I'm sorry. Come back!" I didn't mean to hurt his feeling but I didn't like the soup.

I sat back down and ate a dumpling that was placed in front of me by viper. I thanked her and enjoyed the taste. After eating 10 more dumpling I wanted to sleep. Thank god that Shifu told viper to take me to the spare room. I thanked her again and entered my room. It wasn't far away from po's door especially since it was next to his. After standing in front of my door to hear po to apologize for my actions, but he didn't show up and I was falling asleep that I just walked right over to the cot, forgetting that I needed to talk to oogway and laid there motionless in the cot for a few seconds before sleep took me. I wasn't complaining, for the four years in military I had to sleep in these things and I found them to be so comfortable. But I was afraid that I would have another nightmare but was confident enough that I wouldn't have that exact dream. Then I was faced with darkness. Again.

Another chapter done. This took longer only because I have school work and work. But I will try to post another chapter tomorrow. Please review if you have any suggestions or comments. I also want to thank The Joining, pandamaster97720, and Lady Shadow92 for helping me in some situations.
