Short: *began to cry with pride* My roly-poly is back! *ran down and hugged him* Welcome back, Po!

Po: *smiled and hugged her back* Thank you, Shory!

Oogway: *went down the stairs, walked to Po, grabbed his hand and holds it up for all to see* The Dragon Scroll has brought us the Dragon Warrior!

Five: What?

Shifu: What?

Po: *facepalm* Oh, man! I should have known that!

The pig banged the gong.

The crowd goes wild! They cheer! They scream! Confetti falls! A palanquin is carried past Shifu.

Shifu: Stop! Wait! Who told you to...?

Po was lifted with great effort on the palanquin. He was carried off. Shifu elbowed his way urgently through the thronging crowd to get to Oogway.

Shifu: Master Oogway, wait! That flabby panda can't possibly be the answer to our problem. This must be a misunderstanding!

Oogway: There are no misunderstandings! *looked at Shory* Right, Shory?

Shory: *smiled benignly, when suddenly a crash was heard*

The palanquin was collapsed under Po.

Shifu looked at Oogway. Oogway just smiled.

A squad of burly pigs rushed in and hoisted Po, the palanquin, and the Geese onto their shoulders, and they headed off for the Jade Palace. Stunned, Shifu watched, with an open mouth, them go.

Shory: *giggled* Master Shifu! Close your mouth, otherwise it stays that way! *followed the geese and Po*

Shifu: *looked with open mouth after her* Ba ba ba ba ba... This woman drives me crazy!

Prison Night

A huge prison was carved into the side of a frozen mountain. Fifteen stories of iron and rock. No windows. One door - was locked, bolted and sealed tight. Rhinoceros guards in armor patrol the perimeter.

Zeng, the palace goose, flied into frame and a Rhino spotted him in the distance. He landed, slided on the ice and crashed into the gate. The rhinos pointed their spears at him.

Zeng: Wait, wait, wait! I bring a message from Master Shifu.

The doors creak opened. The terrified goose peered in.

Commander: *read the message* What?! Double the guard?! Extra precautions?! Your prison may not be adequate!

The Goose quaked in fear. Rhinos surrounded him, stared daggers at him. The Commander snapped the scroll shut.

Commander: You doubt my prison's security?

Zeng: Absolutely not. Shifu does. I'm just the messenger.

Commander: I'll give you a message for your Master Shifu.

On a bridge...

Commander: Escape from Chogun Prison is impossible!

The Goose was awed by the cavernous prison.

Zeng: Whoa...

The goose looked over the bridge's edge. The prison went down a long ways. The commander hit the goose on the back.

Commander: Impressive, isn't it?

A feather from the goose drifted down the prison.

Zeng: Yes, very impressive. It's very impressive.

Commander: One way in, one way out, one thousand guards, and one prisoner.

Zeng: Yes, except that prisoner is Tai Lung.

At the elevator…

Commander: Take us down.

Several guard rhinos let the goose and the commander down. The commander grabbed the chain and shaked the elevator, trying to scare the goose.

Zeng: What are you doing?!

The commander just laughed. The elevator finally landed, sended an echo throughout the prison.

At doors…

A number of doors unlocked, one after the other. Finally, a drawbridge was lowered out onto an island.

Zeng: Oh my...

Commander: Behold, Tai Lung.

Zeng: I'll um...I'm just gonna wait right here.

Commander: It's nothing to worry about. It's perfectly safe.

He shoved the goose out ahead of him.

Zeng: Oof!

Commander: Crossbows! At the ready!

Zeng: Crossbows?!

They approached Tai Lung, a giant, muscular snow leopard bounded in a giant piece of tortoise shell armor and chains. He barely registered signs of life. The commander walked right up to him.

Commander: Hey, tough guy, did you hear? The Dragon Warrior, is awake and is not you!

The goose couldn't believe it.

Zeng: What are you doing?! Don't get him mad.

Commander: What's he gonna do about it? I've got him completely immobilized.

The commander stomped on Tai Lung's tail. The goose flinched. But Tai Lung doesn't react.

Commander: Awww. Did I step on the witty kitty's tail? Awww.

Tai Lung doesn't move. His eyes stared coldly straight ahead.

Zeng: I'm good. I've seen enough. I'm gonna tell Shifu he's got nothing to worry about.

Commander: No, he doesn't.

Zeng: Okay, I'll tell him that. Can we please go now?

The commander started to walk back to the elevator. The goose
hurried after him.

The goose's feather fluttered into frame. It landed right in front of Tai Lung.

His eyes opened. Tai Lung grabbed the feather with his tail.
