Chapter 3: The Training and Story
While they made their way to the training room, Hannah asked Crane.
"Um, Master Crane, can I ask you something?"
"Of course, little thing. And by the way, you could just call me Crane."
"Okay, so what's the year of time?"
"2006, why do you ask?"
Hannah and Lilly's jaws were dropped, 2006!? There's no way they were in the...past. Unless, they had dropped into the well as a time portal back in time. Then they have quickly snapped, and turned their face to the crane, "Uh, nothing. Really, nothing." they whispered as they walked faster than the six kung fu masters and beside the red panda.
"I could've swore those two kids are getting weirder than before." Crane whispered to Viper.
"Neither do I." whispered Po.
"I think they look adorable." Viper said and Tigress agreed.
"No deny that." Monkey and Mantis said.

The Training Room
Finally, they have approached the training room. When Shifu opened the gate, Hannah and Lilly looked at the equipments with amazed, the training course were as good as new, of course, they were in the past!
"Let's get started. You first, white tiger." Shifu used his bamboo flute pointed at Hannah as lucky number one.
"What? Wait, wait, wait, wait! Now?" although, Hannah hated to be the first as she will start being nervous and panic, forgot her balance and focus.
"Master Shifu, please let me be the first. Hannah got herself lost when she has been picked to be the first one." Lilly begged as she stepped forward in front of Hannah.
"A real warrior shall be face any danger and sudden incident happen! Be quick, please!" Shifu ordered as Hannah nervously stepped forward.
"Pick any of these equipments." he said.
Lilly shook her as it said, 'Try pick the easiest.' signal. Then, Hannah took a tour of the training room and then she spotted a training dummy beside her, and she picked that thing!
"Hey, maybe we could start with that!" she said as she ran over, the Furious Five, Lilly, Po and Shifu were all frowned.
"That thing!?" Shifu scoffed. "We use that for training children, well, like you actually, but since you have ranked the high level of kung fu, thought that you wouldn't need it! And for propping open the door when it's hot, but if you insist..."
"I/she do." the children said in unison.
"... Very well, then." Shifu said. Strange, this is so familiar to me. Where did I see this before? He thought.
Hannah took a deep breathe. "All right," she murmured. She danced around the dummy, pretending it was a bad guy and trying to tune out the fact that seven kung fu experts and her viper friend were watching her every move.
"Whatcha got, buddy?" she said in the dummy's face. "You got nothing because I've got it right here. You're picking on my friends? Get ready to feel the lightning! I'm coming at you with crazy feet. My feet are a blur. I'm a blur." Hannah went on as she danced in place.
The seven masters were all confused at second, Get ready to feel the lightning? If she spoke 'thunder', she might be real a girl version of Po. They thought.
Shifu had had enough, "Would you hit it?" he demanded.
"All right, all right." Hannah replied.
She took a deep breathe and then punched the dummy, it was knocking it all the way backward. She turned back to Shifu proudly.
"How's that-" just when she finished her ask, the dummy swung back and smacked Hannah hard as she got tripped into the obstacle course.
"This looks familiar." Mantis said.
"Oh, she is so dead." Lilly said as her tail has covered her face in shame.
The Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior watched the scene, half memorable and half amused, they haven't seen this demonstration for a long time since Po's. Tigress couldn't help herself but laughing a little as she watched the girl version of Po, a spiky tethered ball slammed into Hannah as she has sudden shocked of that.
"I'm feeling a little nauseous." Hannah called out suddenly.
"And yet is memorable." Viper said.
"Bet you she will survive these courses." Mantis took a bet on Monkey, "My fortune cookies."
"My almond cookies on her that she will be dead." Monkey was in.
"Hey." Viper and Lilly hissed on them.
"What!? Just kidding. Jesh!" they continued their sight seeing.
Back to Hannah, she was slammed by the last club into her hard. "Ow! Those are hard! Oooh! I think I will...Ooof!"
"Oooohhhh!!" she screamed and the others were gasped of that. She reached out to grab a pole, so she could pull herself to her feet. That was a mistake. Immediately, it spun her around, and Hannah got pummeled all over again.
When Hannah emerged out the other side, battered and bruised, she found herself standing on a floor covered with small tubes that shot out bursts of flames.
"Yikes!" Lilly said and the others were agreed.
"Ah oh!" Hannah murmured, feeling her feet get singed. She hopped across, trying to blow out the flames.
But suddenly, when the flames blew out, she couldn't make it to run away as she has surrounded by the fire. The masters and the in-training Dragon Warrior were shocked.
"Hannah!!" Po and Tigress cried. When they tried to approach the flame course, Lilly stopped them by stood in front of them.
"What are you doing? Can't you see your friend is in danger?" Po yelled.
She shook her head slightly and said, "This is just the beginning."
They saw the flames started act strangely as they were swirling into a shape, a Dragon shape. The kung fu masters were awed and amazed of their sight as they never seen this style before.
Then they saw someone rode on the flame, and it was Hannah! She made a final shot as she leaped away the flame and it disappeared, and she landed on the ground in a perfect post!
"Nicely done!" Lilly gave her friend a tail as a high five.
"I'm good, aren't I?" she proudly said, and then she turned to her masters, "So, how did I do?"
"..." they were speechless, there was no doubt that she has reached the high level of kung fu, Shifu snapped out of his mind and said, "You have passed the task."
"Alright! Yes!" Hannah and Lilly gave to each other another high five, only this time a little bit complicated and fast.
"It's getting late, we'll call a day. They will show you the room." Shifu said as he walked away, leaving the others alone in the room.
"You lost the bet." Mantis snickered as Monkey has defeated and he handed over his almond cookies.
"Hey, kiddo. Where did you learn that?" Po asked Hannah curiously.
"That!? Oh, I had born with that. Mom and dad said that it was some kind of special ability, that demonstration was one of them. But the children from the valley didn't like me instead of they think I'm a freak." She sighed deeply as she remembered how the bullies teased on her.
"But then, that was after…" she stopped which made everyone was curious.
"After what?" Monkey asked quietly.
Hannah couldn't but Lilly said slowly, "After she got nearly dead." There was a flashback on Lilly and Hannah, they could only tell them the incident except their family names.
--Flashback--
When she was just a five year old little girl, she was surrounded by some bullies from her school. Lilly and Azure were backed at the temple so soon because Hannah told them to left her behind and will catch up with them later.
"Go away, you freak!!" a big bully pig called her and then he threw some pebbles and rocks on her head and body, Hannah was shocked as she felt her body has a few places were wounded as it started bleeding!
"You don't even deserve living, neither being here now!!" another goose shouted at her and kept on throwing the stones and pebbles on her.
"No, I'm not a freak! I'm not a monster! I'm alive and live!!" she thought in her mind.
Then, she was shocked as she saw her wounds were getting worse than before. Suddenly, her arms have suddenly shaking as she couldn't control herself, her paws were gathered the flames and fire as a ball.
"Oh no, stay away from me!!" she yelled at the bullies, she wanted to save them even the one who wanted to kill her.
"We're not falling for that!" the bullies annoyed her warning as they continued on their teasing and throwing.
Hannah saw a pool of water behind, she looked at her flaming paws again and then to the pool, she has no choice but not to harm innocent people as she jumped into the water.
The bullies were shocked and they ran to the pool, and they saw Hannah was drowning, she couldn't swim! She was desperate, afraid and felt cold as her eyes was begging them. But it didn't work as she watched the bullies were walked away, leaving her alone to die!
Hannah couldn't breathe anymore as she was really drowning, with her eyes slowly close and her final hope was lost… Then she heard a cried, "HANNAH!!"
Suddenly, a huge strength force has jumped in the water. And she felt a warm arm embraced her as it leaded her back to the surface. Her emerald eyes have opened a little and saw a guardian angel was embraced her, and it was Po, her father!
SPLASH!!
A splash of water and a sounded of breathing have come at the same time, Po carefully embraced her daughter as he quickly swam back on the shore. There could see the Furious Five, Tai Lung, Lilly and Azure, Master Shifu and the bullies were beside the shore, worrying.
Po handed Hannah to Tigress who was panicking as she gave her daughter a CPR. People were getting a circle around them, Tigress kept helping her daughter to let the water out of her mouth. Until she heard a cough.
"Cough, cough." Hannah was alive as she coughed out the water, her parents saw at her with relief as they embraced her tightly and so the rest of the family joined in.
Hannah saw the bullies were walking forward to her, the head pig rose up his hand, and said, "Sorry, we didn't relies that you were…" before he could finished. Hannah shook his hand.
She smiled at him and said, "Apologize accept."
After that incident, every kid in the valley were having another look on Hannah, Lilly and Azure, that see them as their friends, like normal kids.
--End of flashback--
Po felt a pity for her as he has the same past of hers, "Sorry at the beginning." He said as he saw his shadow on her.
"That's okay. But now, I've got friends, lots of friends back there and I miss them terribly." Hannah sniffed.
Tigress put her paw on her shoulder and said, "You'll get use to it, come, let's get back to the bunkhouse."
"Okay." She said, but in her heart, she was whispering, Mom.
"By the way, how do your parents look like?" asked Tigress.
"Ah, why do you ask?" Hannah requested.
"Because before you hit the training dummy, you actually said something that familiar to Po's, he used to say 'Get ready to the feel the thunder', and you said 'Get ready to the feel the lightning'. That's not a usual for people." She replied.
"Well, that's…Where's Lilly?" she made an excuse as she ran off to look for her friend. Tigress felt there was something that she was keeping behind from all of them.
Then, Hannah found Lilly was between Crane and Viper, they were having a great chat, until Hannah has to break it up. "Sorry, Master Crane, Master Viper, I have a word with her, please?"
"That's okay." They said in unison and they watched the girls ran off.
"What now?" Lilly ignored.
"I couldn't stand this, I think we better tell them the truth." Hannah said depress.
"What!? No way! Look, if you told them the truth, you and I or even our brother and sister will disappear, gone forever." Lilly said seriously.
"I know, but I couldn't stand a lie."
"Then you have to get in to."
"Fine, let's get back to the bunkhouse."
"Uh wait a second. I think I'm gonna…" Lilly interrupted as her nose was alerting Hannah, a sneeze was coming. She was widened as she carried the viper on her back and yelled, "Gain way, coming through! Coming through, watch out!"
"What's going on?" Viper asked.
"A sneeze alerting!"
"A sneeze!? It couldn't be that bad."
"You have no idea…" she murmured as they have reached the entrance of the room.
"Alright! Lilly, let it out!" she shouted and Lilly's nose has commanded, "HA-CHUUUU!!" A tornado, not that big tornado that you imagined, has blown in the middle of the air as it swirling with the clouds. The Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior watched it with shocked and surprised.
But the power of the blowing was too powerful as they got pulled back to the Furious Five. Tigress and Po got Hannah and Lilly got caught by Crane and Viper, both were hit on the ground. When Po and Tigress slowly opened their eyes and saw Hannah was on top of Po's giant belly, she looked like an angel appeared for them and so did Crane and Viper, they thought Lilly was come from heaven.
Hannah pulled Lilly and then their masters back on the ground and sighed of relief, "You know, when we get back, you'd better be practice more on controlling your Wind Dragon power." She whispered to her friend as she nodded and sniffed.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Monkey and Mantis shouted in excitement.
"That, also one of her special and annoying power, we've got two kids more back in our place." Hannah explained.
"You mean there's more?" Mantis asked.
"Yep, one was my little brother, Jade. Earth Quaker kid, when he jumps on the ground, the ground will be shaking. " Hannah replied.
"And another one was my twin sister, Azure. The Crying Baby, she cries like more than any normal baby, her tears could drown anywhere." Lilly replied.
"Wow, I couldn't image how your parents be very proud for having such wonderful children?" Viper admired.
"Yeah, neither do I." the little warriors said in unison silently.
"It's getting late, we better eat dinner. Po, you know what to do!" Tigress said with a smile.
"Yes, ma'am." Po saluted, Tigress laughed a little as she gave a quick kiss on his cheek.
'They are in love to each other so long…even now.' Hannah thought with admired as she followed the Furious Five to the kitchen of bunkhouse.
