The Battle
I jumped on to the nearest cannon and shot myself straight into the yak guards. Cannons shot at Po, who caught each one and flung them back destroying the cannons. I planted my swords in the ground and whirled my body around knocking the other minions out. Then a circle of them came towards me. "Wait. Wait, wait!" I shouted and they actually stopped. I waved my hand back and forth. "Look at the hand. Look at the hand. Look at the hand," I said to distract them. Then I swept them off their feet with my tail as they pummeled to the ground. "You didn't look at the hand," I said. Po jumped over me and quickly, like lightning, kicked and punched the guards. Then we saw a new wave of guards coming towards us.
"We didn't need Shen, but his help would be appreciated," Po said. Then the first line of guards struck the ground from arrows. I looked to the roof of one of the houses to see an old friend, Dead Shot Duck.(I'm sorry. I love this idea of Zeng being a kick-butt archer) He jump off the roof. He wore black ninja suit, mask, and Chinese straw hat. I knew that this was Zeng in disguise.
"Where have you been?" I shouted.
"Dusting off the old bow. Oh and I found a friend," He said. Just then a cannonball flew from behind us, blowing away the guards. We looked back to see a peacock on top of one of the damaged cannons.
"No one uses my weapons and gets away with it," He said. Shen, the creator of the cannons. He jumped off the cannon and was prepared with one of his wing daggers.
"Nice to see you, bird," I teased.
"I wish you wouldn't call me that," Shen groaned, "Now, let's make these people pay for using my weapons for evil." With that we continued to fight, but there was one more cannon, and Temuti was using it. He lit the cannon.
"Hit THE DECK!" I shouted. The cannonball whizzed past us and went straight for Ju. Peng pushed Ju out of the way and tried to stop the cannonball. He moved a couple feet back, but he managed to stop it. Everyone was surprised, including Peng.
"Wow...I did it," he whispered in amazement. We looked back at Temuti.
"Hold these and wait for my signal," I said as I gave Po my swords. I jumped onto the cannon and kicked the lighter out of Temuti's hands. He tried to grabbed me, but I backflipped out of his reach. I jumped, roundhouse kicked him in the face, landed back on the cannon, used my legs to spring my weight forward, and rammed him in the gut. While he was out, I lit the cannon. "Now!" I shouted to Po. Po threw the swords which curved and pierced right through the armor of the cannon. I jumped off the cannon and ran for cover. The cannon was destroyed completely. After the smoke cleared, Po, Dead Shot Duck, Shen, and I all worked to put the Qi-don minions in a pile. Temuti didn't make it.
The Valley cheered. "Hooray for Po. Hooray for Lion. Hooray for Lord Shen. Hooray for Dead Shot Duck," Some of them lifted us in the air. I could see that Peng was getting a very welcomed 'thank you' hug from Ju. I could also tell he was blushing. As the crowd settled, I and the others started to talk.
"It's good to see you alive," Po said to Shen.
"Good to still be alive. So what are you going to do with all this metal?" He asked.
"We'll take it to the blacksmith. He'll make something out of it," I replied. Then Shifu, Tai-Lung, and the Furious Five came.
"Hi guys," Po said. They were quiet for a while.
"So I'm guessing that servants aren't really your profession?" Viper said knowingly. Po shook his head with a smile.
"We're actually Kung Fu fighters in disguise. That's why we've been everywhere. So, does this mean we get a raise?" I asked. Shifu chuckled while everyone laughed. I could see the smallest smile on Tigress's face.
"How about this? I let you train at the Jade Palace, without my help, and you can stay there. Granted you still do your servant duties," Shifu offered. We bowed. "Then it's settled. Say where is that duck?"
"Oh," I said realizing that Zeng wasn't there, "Dead Shot is always disappearing like that. But thank you guys."
"Why didn't you just tell us that you were warriors?" Tai-Lung asked.
"We were on a mission. Anyways, how about we all eat at Mr. Ping's?" I suggested. We dinned and feasted. Of course, Tai-Lung had to ask.
"How do you and Lord Shen know each other?"
"Oh, he destroyed my village, separated me from my real parents, and I had to fight him," Po said very calmly. Everyone was shocked.
"You say it so casually," Shen said sadly. Po put an arm around him.
"Hey, what's in the past is in the past. Be glad I didn't pound you to a pulp," he said trying to cheer him up.
"I don't deserve to live, though," Shen replied.
"Nobody deserves mercy, but we give it anyways," Po said wisely. I groaned.
"Agh, if I wanted to have a sad party, I would have die with Temuti," I joked earning a laugh from everyone. Then Tai-Lung got silent. Po whispered over to him to ask what was wrong.
"I'm...sorry, Po for how I treated you at the top of the mountain. I just didn't want to see anyone hurt," He whispered. Po smiled.
"It's alright. You were just doing your job of protecting people. That's your job, right?" Po said. Tai-Lung looked confused. As if he didn't really know what his job was. So now we were warriors, but there was one more problem.
