The palace shook.
"That was the harbor. Shen is here!" said Mal.
"Get your armor and weapons. Shifu, your students and you take some assault rifles from here and wall yourself in somewhere. Without armor you'd die before you could get a shot off. Po, raise hell. I know you do it so well." Said Kota.
Po had already gotten into the suit and turned it on.
They did as they were ordered and when they saw the harbor they gasped.
It was gone.
But the ships were not there.
The wolves were marching on land.
A scout had triggered the bombs.
They indeed had Ak-47s.
Not just that they had tanks, sniper rifles, rpgs and other vehicles.
"There's no way we can stand against that many. There are thousands of them." Said Kota.
"You're not actually suggesting….." said Po.
"We have to surrender." Said Kota.
"No! That is not an option." Po shouted.
"Are you insane?" shouted Shifu through the comm channel.
"We must. Destroy the technology we have. We can't let them get their hands on it. Po, destroy the suit." Said Kota.
"But.."
"That is an order soldier. We'll surrender as soon as the tech is gone."
Po sighed.
"Yes, sir." He said before walking off.
The five came out and bowed their heads in defeat.
"I can't believe this. We have lost and with this new technology kung fu is surely dead." Said Shifu.
They went to the bottom of the staircase and kneeled with their hands in the air.
The army advanced and Shen led them.
He looked at the warriors and laughed.
"So you finally recognized defeat? How precious. Not even going to try to kill me?" said the peacock.
He suddenly stepped backward.
"Fire you idiots! Fire!" he shouted.
They ran as Po landed in front of them.
"Po what are you doing?" shouted Kota.
"Po to black squad. Fall back immediately. Ignore the wolves. I'll hold them off." Said Po. "Nobody's dying here."
"Po no! You said you wouldn't leave me! What are you doing?" shouted Tigress.
Po ignored her as he blew away hundreds of wolves with his six barreled weapon.
The five and the Spartans ran for the forest so as not to get caught in the crossfire.
"Can you hear me sergeant? What do you think you're doing? Your orders are to destroy the suit. You are disobeying direct orders." Said Kota.
"No sir I am following my orders." Said Po.
"Explain yourself." Said Kota.
"I have set a bomb on this suit and I am using the time on it to save my people. To save Tigress." Said Po shooting rockets at condensed groups and two tanks, melting them.
"That is not the plan. I am ordering you to stand down." Said Kota.
"There's no other choice. The mission cannot be jeopardized." Said Po. "And I am still responsible for these warriors."
Po strafed the crowd of wolves, killing another few hundred.
One of the tanks fired and Po jumped out of the way.
"Wait sergeant. Po! Listen to me." Said Kota.
"The suit has a staggered countdown. In order to trigger final detonation the system requires a voice command." Said Po. "You designed it that way for a reason didn't you?"
Po destroyed four more tanks and thousands of wolves.
"Po." Said Kota.
"Just get my friends out of this place. Keep her safe." They all knew he meant Tigress.
"This is Po, over and out."
The five looked at the Spartans and started to run.
They saw villagers followed them.
All the villagers had taken the hint and ran with them.
They ran for a half hour before the felt a shockwave that knocked them to the ground.
They looked back and saw hell itself.
They started back and a half hour later they were looking at a black ruin.
The valley of peace was gone.
Just a barren wasteland.
No bodies.
No skeletons.
Just ash and broken buildings.
No Po.
No suit.
Just fire and blackened stone.
"You know, for a second there I thought that the armor had pulled out." Said Jim.
Tigress stared at what once was her home.
Just a few hours ago she's been the happiest girl alive.
Now she was nothing.
"Hey, what's that?" said a four year old, pointing at the sky.
Others started to look.
Tigress brought her gaze up to see what looked like a man falling from the heavens.
The thing hit the ground hard.
"Spartans move out!" shouted Kota instantly.
They started to sprint toward the object, weapons drawn.
The five and villagers followed them.
The Spartans, they found out, were fast when they wanted to be.
When they arrived their hopes soared.
It was the suit, both of its arms were gone.
"It's the prototype suit! Get it open." Shouted Kota.
"It's stuck." Said Jim, pulling at the back hatch.
Kota shoved him out of the way and pulled so hard that the back hatch broke into two pieces.
Po fell out and onto the ground.
They picked him up and rushed him to what was left of the hospital.
Tigress started CPR.
The other watched helplessly as Kota bandaged his stumps of arms.
"Come on. Come on!" yelled Tigress. "You promised! You promised me you wouldn't leave! You promised!" Tigress let tears fall down her cheeks as she proceeded with her compressions.
After five minutes Shifu stopped her.
"It done. You've done all you can." Said her master.
"No!" said Tigress, not stopping. "I will not stop! I won't!"
She became erratic and finally simply kissed him.
Not breathing for him.
Just feeling him.
His lips.
Tigress jumped in surprise as he began to cough violently.
"Get him to the operating room stat!" shouted Lee.
They ran to do their duties and the doctors among the villagers ran to help.
Every was happening so fast.
Tigress so shocked and fatigued that she collapsed.
The last thing she heard was a faint.
"Tigress!"
Then all was still and quiet.
