Guess who? Ha! One week of no updating sucks. But here's chapter 4 of Xiwang! Hopefully this makes up how long I was gone...

Chapter 4: Xiwang grows

2 years went by, and Xiwang excelled at Kung Fu. Tiger style came like magic to him through Shifu's guidence, and Tortoise style he not only learned well, but nearly beat Shifu and Tai Lung 2 on 1.

It was a hot summer day in post summer, near autumn but not quite as peaceful. Tai Lung had grown to the considerable adult, and Xiwang was aware enough of everything to be a Kung Fu trainee.

Shifu was in the Training Hall, waiting for Xiwang to arrive for training. "Where is he..." he mutters. His question rang with an answer shortly, with a little taller Xiwang in his kung fu gear. He bows and recites, "Morning Master, I'm sorry for stalling. Tai Lung wouldn't get me out of the hall." Shifu smiles and says "Of course." He then motions Xiwang to the obstacles.

Xiwang leaps to the Tortoise Bowl, and yells, "Hey, why not spar a bit, Master Shifu?" Shifu sighs and jumps to Xiwang.

Shifu leaps for Xiwang's shoulder for a chop, but Xiwang evades and delivers a blow to Shifu's stomach. While Shifu cringed down, Xiwang roundhouse kicked him to the head, sending Shifu flying to the side of the bowl and flinging around for a brief 2 seconds, until he backflips off the top rim and lands behind Xiwang.

Xiwang ducks and turns around on the bottom of the bowl, and delivers a kick to Shifu's face, and he flings out of the bowl. Xiwang smiles and lepas to the rim. He stares to the standing Shifu, and bows fist-to-palm. "That was a heck of a few blows, huh, Master?" Shifu looks up and smiles, "You've learned, Xiwang. I believe you're ready for a test to become Warrior." Xiwang widens his eyes and exclaims "Really?" He jumps down and beams at Shifu, who smiles back.

Xiwang screams "!" as he runs outside. Shifu rolls his eyes and mutters, "Not muture in emotion, though."

Xiwang bolts down the steps, then collides with Tai Lung, making them both topple over. "Hey, watch where you're running, brat!" Tai Lung says and pushes Xiwang aside. Xiwang gives a comical mad look at him, then runs down into the Valley.

He runs out onto the pavement of the Valley, screaming "I am to be a !" And making adults cover their ears and some kids say "Cool!"

Xiwang runs over to Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop, and runs up to the counter. "Hey, Mr. Ping!" Mr. Ping holds the noodle pot and carry's it over to the counter, and looks to Xiwang. "Hello, Po's upstairs if you want to talk with him." "Awesome!" Xiwang bursts through the side door and bolts up the stairs.

He opens Po's door, and a little cub Po sat on his bed, playng with his Shifu and Oogway action figures. "Master, hiya!" he mutters in a Shifu impersonation, throwing the Shifu at Oogway toy. "Hi, Po!" Po looks to Xiwang and says, "What's up?"

Xiwang walks to Po and sits on his bed next to Po. "I got awesome news!" "What?" "Guess who's going to be a Warrior?" Po looks up and says, "Tai Lung?"

Xiwang squints his eyes and says, "Very funny." "What? Wait... Ohhhhh... Dude! Awesome!" Po looks at Xiwang with a happy face, then sad. "What's wrong, dude?" Po sighs and says, "I wish I knew Kung Fu."

Xiwang looks down and then jerks his head to Po. "You can. What about one of them school's?" "They cost quians, and my dad doesn't have enough for a two year plan." He plops down on the bed, causing Xiwang to lean off the bed slightly by vibration.

"Well I'm sorry, Po. Have you ever considered going to the Jade Palace?" "Me? Up allllll those stairs? No, heck no!" Po puts his arms up and wavs them. "Wayyyyyyyyyyaaaaaahhhhhhh!" he screams. "Po! Quiet!" Mr. Ping screams from downstairs.

There was a long silence, but then Xiwang beams his face and looks to the sad Po. "Dude, I can invite you to the Jade Palace! You can train with Shifu for Panda style!" "But how will I get up the stairs?" "Forget them, I know a short cut!" Po slowly rises up slowly and looks to Xiwang. "Really?" "Heck yeah, dude! I'll set you up today!" "Um, sorry, I got to help around on the kitchen. Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow."

Xiwang was about to get out the door when Mr. Ping stops him, holding a wrapped up bowl of noodles. "Tell Shifu this is on me. It's for him, don't eat it! I know how you are with Po after hours." he hands the bowl to Xiwang and Xiwang nods, then runs out the door.

Xiwang runs up the stairs, pausing once in a while for a breath, and continues.

But as he rises up to the top of the stairs, he hears a familiar voice scream, "I'm ready, damn you!" Tai Lung! Then a slight voice say something, but all Xiwang could make out was "Dragon Scroll" and "Very well." Xiwang pricks his ears and sneaks over to the doors.

He stares through the crack, and sees Shifu and Oogway watching something with pure discipline, and he turns his head to see Tai Lung totally annihilating a spiked bat statue. Shifu turns his head to Oogway, and says "I don't know." Tai Lung then jumps to the Tortoise Bowl and runs at sonic speed around it, then jumps high to the balcony and preforms a kick series back flipping. Xiwang widens his eyes at how amazing it looks.

Tai Lung gets a very meanicing look, and looks to Xiwang, and Xiwang cringes. Looking away like he didn't see, Tai Lung claps and a huge gold, blinding wave. Knowing this move, Xiwang shuts his eyes before it blinds him.

He then opens his eyes and looks to Shifu and Oogway, who apparently looked away also, not blind. Thinking Xiwang is blind, Tai Lung then preforms a Snow Leopard Kung Fu barrage of offense, and the two Masters looking over in discipline, and Tai Lung bows.

He then quickly says, "Am I ready? Am I the Dragon Warrior?" Xiwang widens his eyes, 'D-Dragon Warrior? THIS is what this is about?' he thinks.

Xiwang darts his head to Oogway, who, after a long pause, shakes his head. "I'm afraid not." Lung looks down, and yells. He then walks away upstairs. Oogway shakes his head in disappointment and leaves. There leaves Shifu, standing, thinking.

Xiwang opens the door shortly after, and walks to Shifu and hands the bowl over to Shifu. "This is on Mr. Ping." Xiwang says, trying to not leave shake in his voice from the moment he just witnessed.

Shifu grabs the bowl and mutters, "Oh, thanks." Xiwang walks away quickly and heads to his room upstairs.

When up there, Xiwang walked past Tai Lung's room, where he can briefly hear the throwing of furniture.

Running inside his room where he remained until night, Xiwang thought about that moment and as he tried to sleep, with the light trees bristiling trying to calm him.

He evetually falls to sleep, unknowing of the terror that will take place the next day.

Cliffhanger! You all should know that Po doesn't get to the Jade Palace until the first KFP movie after this, so he's not going up I can tell you now. But anyway, I am going to update fat and frenzy to make up for the time missed for a while. So... that's for now!
