I do not own WOW or Kung Fu Panda that would be Blizzard and DreamWorks respectively

Chapter 2

As soon as Po coughed, the five and Shifu all did backflips and went into offensive poses, but as soon as they saw Po they faltered and were stunned at who they were seeing. Ping had been slightly startled and he turned around to see who had tried to get their attention and froze. There, in the doorway, standing there with a bamboo staff in his right armored hand, was Po… his son. Ping was the first out of his shocked stupor and slowly walked forward. "P-p-po? I-is it truly you?!" Mr. Ping said in a shaky voice, afraid the answer would be no. "Ya dad… It's me… I'm back." replied Po in a soft deep voice as he kneeled down to his dad's level. No sooner had Po done this had Ping flung himself around his son crying "PO! You're Alive!" After ping had proclaimed this the five and Shifu all relaxed and walked over to Po, taking in this pleasant moment. After Po and his dad separated and the five and him all exchanged pleasantries Po turned to Shifu and bowed deeply. "Master, I have returned." Po said to him when he bowed. Shifu, with tears in his eyes, slowly said "So you have Po, so you have… And I Hope you kept up in your training" saying the last part with a grin.

Crane got Po's attention when he said "Po… Where have you been the last two years?" and immediately regretted his question when he saw the look on Po's face. Po's face gained a shallow shadowed look and his eyes turned darker, gaining almost a sickly green glow to them. To the five and Ping, Po's eyes looked sad, angry, and fearful at the same time… but to Shifu, his eyes reminded him of a person who had seen war in all of its glory and all of its horror. Before Shifu could interject po had turned to Crane and said "Crane… I have seen love and loss, birth and death, joy and sorrow. I have fought in wars, and have killed beings that could tear china apart as if it were a piece of paper. I have seen and Fought against demons, dragons, the undead, and the living. I have killed and almost been killed too many times to count… please do not ask me anymore, for it pains me to even remember the happy times." As Po was saying this in a soft voice, the five, Shifu, and Ping were scared at what he could had faced in his travels, and the horrors he had faced. "Well, Po, you're probably tired from your travels. Why don't you go unpack and sleep in your old room, OK?" Shifu said, trying to distract him from his painful past. "Alright." Po replied tiredly "See you tomorrow." He said as he went to his room to sleep.

After Po had left Shifu turned to the others and said to them "I know you all want to get reacquainted with po, so do I, but he needs his rest. We will talk to him tomorrow." "Yes master" said the five, leaving to go to their own rooms to get to bed for it was late and they wanted to get up early to grill Po for answers on where he has been. After they were gone Ping turned to Shifu and said, "Shifu, what do you think Po has been through." Shifu turned to Ping and said, "I do not know my friend… I truly do not know, but whatever it was it has caused him great pain." After that they blew out the candles and went their separate ways, Ping going back down the stairs to his noodle shop/ house while Shifu went to his room. Both of them wondering what tomorrow had to hold.

The next day, as soon as the sun came up and the gong sounded the five burst out of their rooms and bowed to Shifu saying, "Morning master!" "Good morning." Shifu replied, looking at the five he then remembered Po had come back yesterday and hadn't come out of his room yet, so Shifu walked over to his room and slid the door open surprised at what he saw. Everyone's room was the same ten by ten foot floor plan with a three by three window on the wall, and everyone had a right to decorate however they wanted but most of the rooms were plain and simple but Po's room… Po's room dumfounded him. Shifu quickly closed the door with a bang and then opened it slightly to make sure he wasn't seeing things… he wasn't. Shifu slowly walked into Po's room looking astounded. Po's room seemed to lead to a large, circular room with walls that looked like rock formations and a dome ceiling that looked like the sky as it was outside. The doorway he walked through even looked like a cave entrance. The entire area was about three to four square miles tops in size with a small wooded area to the north with the largest and strangest trees he had ever seen. A large rocky ledge to the east with what seemed to be strange half bird half lion creatures, and what seemed to be birds with antlers resting on the rocks and the ledge nesting. A waterfall with a small river to the west, with what seemed to be strange spirit like creatures made out of water, air, earth, and fire playing around. The river flowed into a large lake into a large lake in the center of the area with many different creatures drinking from it. In front of him however was what seemed to be a training ground with a stone sparring structure, an outdoor laboratory with three stone walls surrounding it, a large strangely designed three story wood and stone house, and a forge? "Wow!" Shifu heard behind him. Apparently the Five had come over to see what had shocked him and had seen what he was seeing now.

After looking around to see what was there, Shifu and the five slowly stepped forward towards the house, the house being their best guess at where Po was. As they passed the training grounds that they saw earlier, they all were impressed by what they saw. They saw a copy of the Jade Palaces workout area, they saw an area where there was a pit and it had different length poles sticking out of it. They saw strange giant meatal dummies that seemed to be lying about in another area, and in a different area they saw what seemed to be a sparring platform made of stone that stood two feet tall. As they reached the house, crane reached up and nocked while saying "Uhmmm, hey buddy? Po, you in there?" they all heard a shuffling and then the door opened inwards revealing Po. Po that day had decided to where a pair of pants and ruby red with jade trim vest. They got a better look at him then than they had yesterday and were surprised. Po had lost a lot of his belly but kept some of it, he had large looking mussels if his arms were anything to go by, and he had a fading scar that went over his right eye. Viper and tigress blushed, Viper more than tigress, while the guys looked impressed. "Oh, hey guys! Come on in!" Po said sounding like his old self.

As they entered the house they had a good look around and something caught each of their eyes. Master Shifu was looking at what looked like a large shelf with many strange looking scrolls bound in leather with strange inscriptions, after pulling one of the shelf he found that you could open it like unfolding a piece of paper and that the paper in the 'scroll' had the same strange lettering on both sides. Monkey was looking at Po's staff that he saw yesterday but didn't get a good look at. The bamboo staff was about 6 feet tall and weighed about ten pounds, which seemed heavy for bamboo, and had a green leather grip with rubies set in what looked like gold, he also saw that the ends of the staff were capped in meatal. Crane was looking at what looked like a large painting of a place with strange flora, large bipedal creatures that had stones sticking out of their backs, and strange green dragons of all sizes flying around. Mantis was examining the strange weapons on the wall with tigress, they both were looking at two separate things. Mantis was looking at what looked like a hammer with a wolf head in a circle that had a sign underneath it saying [copy of Doomhammer, made by Po]. Tigress was looking at what seemed to be a large hand and a half sword that seemed to have been made out of gold, and had strange blue ruins on the blade. And finally Viper was looking at on of the strange scrolls master Shifu saw on the shelfs that had four pictures of strange entities, one seemed to be female and was made of earth with purple hair, another was made of fire and had a fiery hammer, one was blue and held a trident, and finally another was covered in bandages and seemed to have the winds surrounding it. "So what do you guys want to eat?" Po said, bringing them back to the present.
