Gone Away Ch. 3: Helping Out

So I'm working on new stories... and I'm just notifying you guys.


With Po...

It was already morning and Po put out the fire. He doesn't know which way to go since he was never in this place. He wandered for a long time until he came by a river. Po sat down on a log nearby and was thinking on if he can return to the Jade Palace or if he can't and would be lost forever.

'It's been days since I've seen The Five, Master Shifu and my dad. I bet they think that I'm dead already.' Po thought.

Po went near the river and drank some water for he was dehydrated. After drinking enough water, he sighed then continued on.

(Time lapse)

Night has came and Po was still walking. He saw a shack nearby and tried to see if there was anyone home.

"Hello? Anybody home?" Po said as he knocked. There was silence for a while and when Po was about to leave, the door opened revealing an old goat lady.

"Dragon Warrior! It's an honor to meet you!" The goat said. "What are you doing here?" she added.

"I was kinda lost after fighting some bandits. I just found your shack and I figured that I might ask you for some food while I'm finding my way back." Po replied.

The goat saw Po was bruised and dirty, his hair had some mud and there were dark patches on his fur.

"Please Dragon Warrior, you are welcomed to stay here for a while. You look terrible." The goat said to Po.

"Thanks ma'am. Just call me Po. But I really need to get back to the Jade Palace, I just need some food and I'll be on my way." Po said.

"But it's getting late. You could just stay here or a while and then you can continue your journey in the morning." The goat insisted.

Po thought about it for a while then agreed. He went in the shack and sat down.

"Here, have some dumplings." The goat said.

"Thanks ma'am. By the way, what's your name?" Po replied as he took the bowl.

"Mei, my name's Mei." Mei said. "I'm gonna go prepare a place for you to sleep on." Mei added.

Po nodded and ate the dumplings.

The next morning, Po told Mei that he would be going now. Mei nodded and gave Po some food and water for his journey, she also gave Po a cloak and a straw hat.

"Thanks Mei. See you around." Po said as he left. "An oh yeah..." Po said as he stopped at the door, "Do you know which way to get back to the Valley?"

"Just follow the path over there Po." Mei said as she pointed towards an opening.

"Thanks again Mei." Po said as he waved goodbye.

"Goodbye Po." Mei waved back.

Then Po continued his journey along the path.

'Mei is a kind sweet goat for helping me for a while.' Po thought as he was walking. Then he looked at himself.

'Man, I forgot to treat my wounds.' Po thought again, 'And clean myself up. Well, no turning back now.'

After a few minutes of walking, Po found himself in another village. The villagers were all busy and were walking around. Po walked along and wasn't noticed by the villagers since he had a cloak and hat on. He was walking along until he heard someone scream.

"Help! Thieves!" He heard someone say.

Po ran to see four crocs robbing a small cart.

"Give us all your money!" One croc said.

"How about you give yourselves up." Po said.

The crocs turned to see Po. "Who are you?" One of the crocs said.

"Someone who's gonna kick your butt." Po said as he charged at the thieves.

Po and the thieves started to fight although he was still feeling pain from not treating his then managed to knock out two of them.

Meanwhile, At the Jade Palace...

The Five and Shifu were the the training hall when Zeng suddenly came in.

"Masters! There's trouble in a village nearby!" Zeng said.

"What is it?" Matter Shifu asked.

"Thieves!" Zeng stated.

"Alright, all of you get going and try to..." Master Shifu said but didn't get to finish for Zeng spoke up.

"Also, they said that there is someone fighting the thieves already." Zeng said.

"Who?" Matter Shifu asked.

"I don't know. They said he was wearing a cloak and a hat." Zeng stated.

"Who ever this person is needs some help. All of you get going and help out who this person is." Master Shifu said. Then the Five sprang into action.

"This was supposed to be the time Po would say something." Monkey sighed as they were going down the steps. The others sighed too.

Back with Po...

Po already managed to knock all except on croc out. The croc tried to swing his sword but Po managed to dodge him and knock him into a nearby building. The croc layed their unconscious after that. The villagers cheered as they went near their savior.

"Thank you for defeating those thieves! What's your name mighty warrior?" A pig said.

Po looked up and the said, "Just call me Po."

"Thank you Po!" The pig replied.

'He seems to not know the Dragon Warrior's real name.' Po thought because the villagers never said anything about him being Dragon Warrior.

Just then the Five arrived behind Po.

"What's going on here? Who are you?" Tigress said in her fighting stance.

Po recognized the voice. 'Tigress...' He thought.


Well, DERP. The Five now found Po! Yeepee!
