Chapter 4
Viper's Story
"It is said that the Viper clan descended from mighty dragons, whose legendary flames were distilled into the viper's powerful venom." Po started and one was shocked.
And that was Viper, whose azure eyes were widened. And the rest knew that she was the next topic, "Speaking of venom, Viper, don't you have any-" Crane was quickly shut by Viper's angry hissed.
Crane had never seen her angry face before, with a little twitched eyes, he slowly felt worry about her and he turned his eyes on Po, "Great Master Viper was the greatest of this fabled clan. One touch of his ivory tips could fell 15 gorilla warriors…and a mid-sized crocodile." He added.
"Great Master Viper? Isn't he the leader of Kui Village, I have heard thousands of his greatness. Hey, is he your father, Viper?" Mantis curiously asked.
Before she could answer, Crane stopped her reply, "Mantis, you'll find out during Po's storytelling." He solemnly said.
"Fine." Mantis grumbled said as he returned his position.
While the others were too busying on Po, Viper secretly tanked Crane, "Thank you, Crane." Her face began flushed.
Crane's was the same reaction as he nervously replied, "Ye…Yea, it's nothing…That's what you do for friends, right?" despite he said on mouth, but not truly, 'Friends, yea, only can be friends…' he thought.
Viper was also as same as him, 'I wish we can be more than being friends…' she thought.
Below them, Po was continuing, "Evil, itself, trembled before him, before the awe-smacking awesomeness his poison fang technique. And so it was with great joy that the daughter of the great master was born to carry on the tradition." He explained.
"This is not good…" Viper whispered to herself.
"As the tiny Viper first smiled at her father, the world itself shook." As Viper predicted, he did do it, "That's right, no fangs." Po finally said.
The words have caught the masters as they turned at Viper, who was feeling embarrassing. Monkey was the one who spoke first, "No fangs!? Then how can you possibly defeat the buy dudes without them?" he shrieked, merely a whisper.
Viper thought that Monkey was right, she had no fangs but she slowly to grow some but they were short, not enough to attack with venom within them. She then felt terrible, she remembered how she was a disgrace of her family and a disappointment of her parents, suddenly she felt a wing wrapped her to comfort herself, she lifted up her head and saw Crane was the one who embracing her.
"Come on, you guys. Are you going to make her cry to feel better for yourself?" he scolded the two masters.
"Yea, you have been laughing at her since we first met. Can't you learn something of how to respect people's feelings?" Tigress added as she crossed her arms upon her chest.
"Okay, okay, okay, we're sorry, better?" Monkey and Mantis apologized in unison.
"Better." The three replied, and they chuckled.
Lots of memories recalled when Po spoke about her past, "Years went by, Viper's father was still the only one who could protect the village, from the bad dudes. And little Viper still had no fangs. The great master was disconsolate. So the little Viper did a little dance to make her father smile. And it worked, just a little bit. I know what you're thinking, where's he kicking butt?" Po asked with challenging in his tone.
"Yeah!!" the bunnies were excited.
"Patience, oh, small ones. It begins…NOW! OK, not right now, soon, soon! Moon festival time, and all that dancing for her sad dad made Viper blossom into the best ribbon dancer in the village." He went on, "But without fangs, she was too afraid to go to the festival." He added sadly.
The Furious Five were getting amused of that, Tigress looked at her best friend, "Viper, you never tell me that you know ribbon dance." She exclaimed.
"Yea, you know, I'm not that open-mind to tell anyone my interest."
"Hey, I'm your best friend. Couldn't you tell me?"
"I was confused and I haven't danced since my training has taken my time!"
"Come on, girl! After this, show us what you got."
Viper was hesitating first, but then she spoke with a smile, "Okay."
"Pinkie swear?" Tigress held up her pinkie to Viper.
The green tree viper responded her tail wrapped around it, "Pinkie swear." She replied.
Po was back on topic, "The great master was on his way to the won ton booth when…a gorilla bandit!! For the great master had to take his stand as his poison fang was invincible! But one thing happened, the bandit's poison-proof armour defied his fabled fangs!"
The bunnies began getting excited, Viper was alike Mulan as she was an elegant woman who respected her father importantly.
"Viper had no idea what she would do, but one thing she did know…"
The Master of Viper style then soon recalled her line from that battle, "No one beats up my daddy!"
"Viper didn't have to bite him to bite! Too bad his fists weren't as fast as his mouth, as her deceptive dancing defied his poison-proof armour. The great master marvelled at this little snake with no venom, who had learned to dance to make her father smile, and so she did. That night, Viper found courage, a power far more potent than venom." Po finished Viper's story.
The bunnies then unexpectedly sighed, Po and the Furious Five noticed their appearance, Po confusedly asked, "What!? What's with the sad faces? Viper was totally awesome."
One bunny replied, "Yea, she was so cool. We're just bunnies."
"We're not like Viper." another one has spoken.
Po's thought was as same as the Five, both thought that everyone was not or replace anyone, if Viper can, then they can, finally Po snapped, "No, you're not!"
The bunnies gasped, and the giant panda continued, "That's just the point! Crane wasn't cool, either."
"OH brother!" Crane groaned as he covered his face with his right wing.
"Hey, chill out, man! I mean, you really don't have any embarrassment past, do you?" Mantis joked.
"Exactly." The red-crowned crane despairing replied.
