*With the masters and heroes, at the Emperor's Palace*

"We have to get back to the valley as soon as possible!" Mei Ling exclaimed, standing up.

"Nonsense! I'm sure that one of your children or the students wrote the letter so they could come here! So stay here you shall!" The emperor of China replied.

Dega looked over at Kiba and grinned.

"Nice job, bro. I can't believe you didn't tell me that you wrote it!" The tiger lion whispered.

"I didn't do it! Don't pin this on me!" The wolf dog hissed.

"Suuuuuuure. Didn't do it! Gotcha!" Dega responded with a wink and a thumbs up.

"Shall w-we begin the ex-experiment?" Lily stuttered, looking at the tiger lion.

"Why not? Let's go!" Dega replied, motioning for her to join him.

As the two went off on their journey, Kiro leaned over and raised his eyebrows up and down at Crane and Viper. The bird narrowed his eyes at the white tiger master and Viper just shook her head.

"If my boy and your girl hook up and for some reason get married, Crane, I could call you brother!" Kiro cheered.

Crane summoned a gust of wind that knocked Kiro out of his seat and sent him tumbling across the floor. "Don't hold your breath."

"Hey, uh, Lupa. You ever wanted to go flying?" Zan asked nervously.

"It had intrigued me before. You wanting to take me flying?" The female tiger lion asked.

"If ya want…" The young avian murmured.

"Sure! Why not! It'd be fun!" Dega's sister stated before getting up and walking out of the room. "I'll meet ya outside!"

Kiro popped right back up again and gave Crane and Viper another huge grin. This time, Crane used the wind to send his friend out an open window. Everybody could hear the master's shouts of pain as he rolled down the mountainside.

Kiba burst out laughing suddenly from everything that had just happened. "Rich! So rich!"

"Smooth, Zan." Kaizer stated, raising an eyebrow and leaning back on his seat.

Just then, Dega popped back into the room. "Kidd, got any spare suits I could borrow?"

Kiba fell off of his chair and started rolling around on the ground hysterically. "STOP! I CAN'T BREATH! AHAHAHAHA! STOP!"

Arizona and Max started chuckling at the sight of Kiba. Takami and Ryo couldn't help but grin as they helped the wolf dog off of the ground and back into his seat.

"Oh, this is too good!" Hope exclaimed, laughing slightly.

"My boy's a lady killer!" Kiro stated happily, slapping his son on the back.

"How did you get back up here so fast?" Viper asked.

"I have staffs that can send me flying into the air! What, you thought I was gonna walk all the way back up here? Ha!" The white tiger replied.

Skyler rolled her eyes and Kovu and Faith started to rub their eyes. They had been laughing so hard that tears started to form.

Kidd shook his head and sighed, but had a smile on his face. He went back to his room for a moment or two then came back out with a tux.

"Sweet, dude. Thanks!" Dega said before grabbing the suit and running off.

*With Xin*

"Are you ready to face Tang?" Overlord asked.

"I am. Thank you for all of your help, but I have to ask, what happens when the Dragon Warrior and his wife show up?" The snow leopard questioned.

"No worries. I'm going to send some of my men to keep those two busy. You won't be bothered by them." The figure in black replied, rubbing the two serpents symbol in his shoulder armor.

A short pause hung in the air before Xin spoke again. "What does that symbol mean?"

Overlord smiled a little, revealing his sharp, white teeth. "My, nothing gets past you, huh? It can be a symbol of rebirth or vengefulness and vindictiveness. Any other questions?"

The young snow leopard shook his head. "Are your men ready to fight now?"

Overlord reached down and put on his face mask. It shielded his entire face from view of others except for two slits for his eyes. The mask was completely black with the silver face of a dragon on it.

"Of course. I'll be watching from a distance to see the boy and his family in action. I already have a base for some of Tang's skills. If anything goes wrong or you're outmatched by the panda, retreat. I'll help you with that later." The blackened figure hissed.

Xin nodded and exited the warehouse.

*With Po and Tigress, fifteen minutes later*

"Well, Tang seems to have improved on his training these past couple of days." Tigress stated, walking up to her husband.

"That's because he's channeling the rage built up inside of him due to you not letting him go to the Emperor's palace. Nevertheless, he has improved." Po replied.

Tigress rolled her eyes. "I'm sure he'll get over it. Speaking of him, where is he?"

"He said he was going to go to the noodle shop for a snack."

"Well, he b—"

A cough rang through the main hall, but it didn't belong to Po or the tiger.

Tigress stopped mid-sentence and whirled around to face thirty wolves in all black with a symbol of two intertwined snakes on each of their chests.

"How did you breach the palace?" Po asked grimly.

"Quite easy when the wall is simple to get over." One jeered.

"Hey, are we gonna kill these two or what?" Another soldier asked.

"Hey, shut up, Yun! We're getting to it!" A third shot.

"I will punch you, Gin-Fo! I just wanna get this thing done so we can get back to the barracks!" The soldier named Yun retorted.

"Come on! Punch me! Go ahead!" Gin-Fo exclaimed, holding his arms out.

The apparent leader of the group of soldiers came up and smacked their heads together.

"Focus! The boss wants this done quick and easy!" The lead wolf exclaimed.

The soldiers re-focused and charged the two masters, preparing to take them down.

*With Tang*

"I still can't believe that I couldn't go! It's so unfair!" The panda complained to himself as he walked down an abandoned alley towards his grandpa's noodle shop.

"You want to talk about unfair, panda?" A snow leopard asked, emerging from the shadows. "Unfair is when your power hungry father abandons his family, only to be thrown in jail and killed by the "legendary" Dragon Warrior? Unfair is when your father leaves you before you even got to know him. Unfair is when you try to seek him out years later, you learn that he was destroyed by a fat panda!"

Tang stopped in his tracks and got into his fighting stance. "My dad? He killed your—wait…Tai Lung? Tai Lung was your dad?"

"Correct. I plan to make your father suffer just as I have suffered all of these years. Starting with your death."

The leopard lunged at Tang with ferocity. The panda quickly blocked his foe's punches to his face and swiped his opponent's feet out from under him. Tang threw a punch towards the leopard's face, but the cat grabbed Tang's fist and spun him around in air before slamming him into the ground. The cat began to pummel Tang in the chest and stomach quickly and precisely, leaving the panda wheezing and coughing by the time he was done.

"Does that hurt? That's just a scratch compared to what I've endured!" The snow leopard hissed. "Before I finish you, I want you to remember this name for the last ten seconds you're still alive: Xin."

Xin's fists became enveloped in a light blue light as he raised them over his head, preparing to end the panda.

*With Overlord*

The figure in black stood on a rooftop that belonged to a small trade business. This was the ideal spot for watching Xin fight Tang and his soldiers fight the two masters. Xin was doing excellent, he was about to end the younger panda. His soldiers however, were already defeated and were retreating down the palace steps, making a b-line to his hideout. He saw Master Tigress chasing them down, about to catch one of them.

I can't let her interrogate my men. Looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty today after all. Overlord thought.

Before the tiger could grab one of his wolves, Overlord threw three kunai at Tigress. The three blades slammed into the stone in front of her, making the master skid to a stop. She looked furiously in the direction of the ninja in black and began to make her way up on to the rooftops. Soon, she stood about five rooftops away from him, waiting to attack.

"Who are you?" Tigress demanded.

Overlord remained silent. He flipped a very small switch on the armor on his arm and the tips of the metal covering his fingers lengthened into five sharp, black claws.

"Answer me or I will fight!" The tiger master threatened.

The ninja in black just got into his fighting stance. He must give Xin a little more time to finish off the panda.

"So be it." Tigress spat before charging towards the figure.
