Who Are You?
Tigress tried with all her might to stay quiet. It was still early, the morning gong wouldn't ring for another hour, and the others were sleeping. She creeped past Po's room, expecting him to be snoring loudly. She stopped at his door because she heard nothing. She slowly opened the door to see that Po was not in his room. "Tigress what are you doing up this early?" Said Shifu who was behind Tigress. Tigress jumped into a fighting stance only to lower her guard when she saw it was Shifu.
"I... Uh... Master Shifu have you seen Po?" She asked trying to change the subject. Shifu smiled and went along with the strategy.
"No, I haven't. He's probably sleep walking around the Palace. Or the kitchen." He added. The two started to head for the kitchen, and to their surprised Po was not in the kitchen only the rat was. "Oh, hello," Said Shifu while the rat drank some tea, "have you seen the Panda?" Before the rat could 'respond', they heard a noise from the training room.
"GGRRRRR!" growled the rat as he started his way to the training hall while Tigress and Shifu followed. When they got there, there was Po doing push-ups with a ton's worth of weight on his back. Zeng was on the other side watching. The very sight of Po training, EARLY IN THE MORNING and TRAINING, was enough to leave Tigress and Shifu speechless. However, the rat looked so annoyed at what he was watching that did want to speak. Po finally noticed that he had company. He stopped and walked over to the rat. He noticed his annoyed look.
"What? What did I do wrong?" asked Po. The rat didn't speak he just directed his attention to the training gear and then back at Po. "I just decided to train a little.." The rat raised an eyebrow. "Ok. I so I trained a lot. It doesn't hurt to be stronger. Besides do I need a reason to train now." He mistakingly looked at Tigress and then back to the rat. The rat noticed this and then had a smug smile.
"What? Oh No no no no. You're not think..." The rat said nothing still smiling.
"It...it..it's not like that I was just training, honest!" The rat didn't move
"I know what you're thinking, okay, and you're dead wrong!" Po said angrily. Still the rat said nothing.
"Aaahhh! Would you just shut up already! You talk too much!" Po said as he stormed out the training hall leaving Zeng, Shifu, and Tigress confused.
"What DID you say?" asked Zeng. The rat just shrugged still smiling.
The day went on as usual with the exception that Zeng seemed to vanish. Everything went well until sunset came. The Furious Five, Master Shifu, the Dragon Warrior, and the rat were in the kitchen when they saw that the rat was looking at something in the doorway. To everyone's shock, there stood Dead Shot Duck leaning against the doorway with a scroll in his hand. Po smiled, "You know, half the people here thought you were dead." the duck laughed. (A/N duck, goose, whatever.)
"There have been times when I thought that I was dead. Like that time we were in Siberia."
"What were you doing in Siberia?" Monkey asked.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now I have urgent news." Dead Shot said as he tossed the scroll to Po. Po read the scroll, and his smile faded a little.
"It says that the superintendent has been captured. Isn't this the same place you sent us last time?" Po asked.
"Yes, and that's not all. The prison there is redesign; here are the specs. The only reason I'm helping this guy is because his daughter is not an option. Now, the thing is that we also need another variable, Him!" He said as he pointed to... the rat. The rat looked away as if to think.
"We need your help. No one can do this without you. So are you need, and more importantly do you have a plan?" Dead Shot asked. The rat looked at the hand drawn specs of the prison. He nodded.
"Good. Let's go." Po finished.
It was nighttime when they got to the prison. After the rat looked around he whispered to Dead Shot and Po. Po nodded and said to the Five and Shifu, "We'll go into the prison by the back side, the side in front of us. It will be a minute." With that Dead Shot flew in the air. He flung his arrows at the tower watchmen and struck it down. (it was mechanical) He flew into the prison. Then the rat and Po slid down the hill and charged towards the two mechanical gators. Po dodged their attacks and the rat jumped into the air a came down striking them both down. He quietly listened to the wall and knocked on it. The rat then punched two holes into the wall, and the wall came down, revealing the superintendent and his elephant assistant.
"Who are you?" asked the superintendent as he pointed to the rat.
"The guys saving your butt, again!" replied Po as he ushered them out. They were walking back. Actually walking back to the hill. Dead Shot landed next to them.
"It's set," he said simply. Shifu and the Five were anxious.
"Why are they walking back? Don't they know the rest are after them?" asked Mantis. Right after he said that, Mechanical gators started to come out. The rat turned around and snapped his fingers.
BOOOOMMM!
The whole prison blew up in flames, destroying any mech-gators. The group started to walk again as the sun started to rise.
"Thank you, Dragon Warrior. And thank you mr. um" The superintendent said.
"Never mind that," Dead Shot interrupted quickly, "We need to go into town. We need supplies for the way back. I hope the town is okay to him." The rat put his brown cloak back on and clutched it tightly.
The group went to the town. As they walked, the people looked strangely at them. Po knew what they were looking at. Suddenly, a little pig came in front of the group and asked, "Excuse me, who is that cloaked person." Before they could say anything, the rat pulled down his hood, revealing his face. The whole town watching was shocked. The Furious Five expected them to mob at him. But the whole town started shouting and praising.
"It's him! It's him!" they shouted in unison. They lifted him up and carried him.
"What's going on!" Shouted a rhino in armor. The crowd gently put the rat down as the rhino looked in anger.
"It's him! It's him!" The little pig kid said excitedly to the rhino. The rhino picked him up and shock him in rage.
"I KNOW WHO HE IS YOU-" That's all the rhino could say. He immediately put the child down and put his hands near his throat. It was no use. The rat had ran up to the rhino in a flash and was choking him. He threw the rhino over to a wall as the rhino backed away. "Wh...Who are you? What are you?" the rhino asked in fear. The rat looked in the rhino's eyes with anger. The rat spoke in the most grisly gurgled up voice any had ever heard,
"My...Name...Is...Lion!"
