Off to Valley of Echo
GONG!
Yu suddenly jumped to the ceiling as he clutched on to it of fear. He looked around to see it was the morning gong. Growling irritating, he heard a greeting by the door and looked down to see Tigress by the entry to her room.
"Morning Master." The Furious Fived greeted to Shifu in a union while Shifu nodded.
Yu jumped down on the bed then on the floor as he walked over to Tigress' leg. Tigress' ears twitched and looked down to watch the cub walked between the legs then back out to stand next her to. He growled looking adorable that Viper adored.
"Has a good sleep?" Tigress asked slightly smiling.
Yu smiled nodding as both tigers turned to the Dragon Warrior's room to hear his snoring. They looked over to Shifu to see him groaning of annoyance. "Tigress. Do you mind?" He gave an order in a calm voice.
Tigress nodded and entered the room while Viper walked over to Yu who smiled to see her. "Morning, Yu. How is your sleep?" She asked greeting him.
Yu roared greeting back to Viper 'How is your morning, Viper?' They smiled each other with her giggling when they heard a crashes in the room.
They looked up hearing scream as well as they saw a panda flown out his room. Po grunted in pain while Tigress stood behind him glaring down. Yu gave one look then laughed hard seeing the goofy look on his face from pain. Po glared at the cub for laughing at him then the one who tossed him out of his bed.
Po sat up rubbing his head where he felt the pain. "That really hurt, Tigress." He told Tigress whining and complaining.
Tigress walked to her room with Yu climbing up to her head. "Well, you should have woke up early, Dragon Warrior." She stood in front of him smirking.
Po grumbled irritating as he stood up and greeted their master. "Morning Shifu." Shifu nodded as they headed off to eat breakfast.
Po made breakfasts for them while Tigress grabbed a bowl of dumplings and buns for Yu. He haven't learn to control his strength so she has to feed him or let him eat dumplings or buns. She set the bowl of dumplings and buns down to grab stir tofu for her.
Viper grabbed teas for everyone while Po gave the noddle soups to them. They ate quietly while Yu ate his foods on Tigress' lap since there is no room for him to seat. Shifu broke the silent to grab their attention about journey.
"Everyone, I have to say before we leave to the Valley of Echo." Shifu watched his students looked over to his attention. "You all know we all are going to the Valley of Echo to stop the Demon Shadow before they could take over China then the whole world."
They nodded while Yu looked up curious what they are talking about. "But you are not ready to face Ching yet…" Shifu told them in his admitted voice. "That is why you will be train with an old friend of my and Master Oogway."
They looked at each other wondering who the friend is and what he is like. Yu faded going to leave out of the fun of training. Shifu chuckled as he turned to the cub with a smile.
"Don't worry Yu. You will also be train as well on the way to the Valley of Echo." Shifu told Yu with a cheerful news that the cub jumped in cheer.
All of them laughed how happy Yu is while Tigress smirked struggling to keep him calm of all that jumping. They hurried at breakfast so they could pack for their journey, mostly Po. Yu kept him busy by taking his stuff when Po has grabbed and gave him to Tigress who stood by the stood knowing she will be there.
Two Hours Later
The masters stood by the gate to the outside of the Jade Palace. Yu found a regular size rock and started to kick it with an amazing skill. Shifu approached to the students seeing them ready to leave as he looked over to see the cub kicking the rock.
Shifu cleared his throat to start another speech. "Since we are going to the Valley of Echo, I have few things to say before departure." He said as he turned to Po narrowing his eyes.
The other glanced over as well while Po looked at them 'Why are you guys looking at me for?' "The Valley of Echo is decade village guarded by my friend and…" Shifu gasped in the air having to mention the old wound of his friend have to mention to them now.
"… his sister."
The six looked at their master surprised he didn't say anything that his friend has a sister. "I know I should have told you about it, but it is not a time for it, now." Shifu apologized as he gone straight to the point.
"To the Valley of Echo will be like all the journey we have gone to, but with the Demon Shadow at there. The journey will tenth time harder if we have to come against the leader… or Ching."
Tigress clutched her fist wanting to repay the damage the young tiger did to her. "Getting there will be the same pace to save our energy, we will have to walk there to avoid much battle." Shifu gave the order that he and the other glanced to Tigress who isn't a patience type when it's come to walking.
Tigress glared at the other then looked away irritating while Yu accidently kicked the rock hard sending it to her. She caught it as she looked to their master who smirked of amusement.
"Can we start heading out now? We are wasting times." Tigress first started to leave dropping the rock to the ground.
Yu ran up to Tigress as he climbed on her back curious what she is mad at now. The other chuckled to themselves following while Po walked next to Shifu with a question in his head. "So, what made the Valley of Echo de…?" He tripped on his own foot then started to fall down of steps.
Yu laughed following Po to the bottom. "Well…" Viper slithered next to her with a smile that made Tigress narrowed her eyes.
"Don't say it."
Lunch Break
"Grrr." Yu growled as he slowly crept up to a grasshopper who is eating grass for lunch.
The grasshopper slowly looked behind to see two dark orange eyes staring of amusement. It screamed spitting out the munch grass and hopped away with the cub chasing behind laughing. He roared following the bug toward the masters resting and eating lunch.
The masters ate their lunch on lunch break while resting for a spar in a minute. Tigress grabbed her lunch first so she can feed Yu who can't control his strength yet. Po has ate a second bowls already as he grabbed Tigress' bowl to notice her finish.
Tigress lay back waiting for the bowl of noddle while Yu still chased after the grasshopper. Mantis is glad the grasshopper is the one being chase than him. Po has the bowl ready holding for Tigress so she can grabbed the cub.
The grasshopper hopped away behind, in ten seconds, Tigress caught Yu in a nick of time by his vest. The bug cheered of joy and hopped into the forest to escape from the amusement child. She brought the cub close to her face to face.
"You think you are so cute?" Tigress asked Yu who waggled his tail smiling.
Tigress place Yu on her lap as she grabbed the bowl and started feeding him. He like the taste wishing he can control his strength so he grabbed a chuck on noddle in his mouth. Drinking the soup, he smacked his mouth licking the remaining soup around.
Shifu stood up placing the bowl down as he grabbed their attention. "If all of your done, Monkey and Mantis come to center for a short spar." He said walking to the empty field with Monkey and Mantis behind him.
Crane and Po watched the spar while Tigress trained Yu with Viper waiting. Tigress took out the dominoes she has packed in Yu's bag. "Ready?" She asked holding five dominoes in her hand.
Yu crouched on all four and Tigress tossed them in the air. He pounced in the air to grab all of them as he landed and opened his hand to see them broken in half. He growled pouting as he tried again for the second time. On the seventh times, Yu opened his hand to see many of the dominoes pieces in his hand.
Yu growled and started to throw a tantrum stomping on the ground. The other glanced over to see the upset cub in his rage. Monkey and Mantis stopped sparring to see him upset. "Man. It got to be hard for him unable to get the dominoes from breaking." Mantis hopped on Monkey's shoulder muttering to him.
"I know, right? I will be furious too if I can't control my strength and don't breaks thing." Monkey nodded agreeing with his friend.
A voice startled them from behind. "Tigress was like that as well when I first trained her to control her strength and anger long ago." Shifu walked up with the two glancing over approaching from behind.
Tigress placed her hands on Yu's shoulder stopping him from stomping on the ground. "I know it is frustration to unable to control the strength, but you shouldn't let the rage take over. It will take time to master the Discipline to control the strength inside of you." She lectured the cub who escaped her grips and sat down crossing his arms and looking away pouting.
Tigress sighed of frustration scratching her head doesn't know how to have him to understand the purpose of the training. Yu showed little tears in his eyes furious while Shifu approached the two tigers and Monkey and Mantis sat next to Po and Crane.
"Let's stop on Yu's training for now. He need to cool down till he is ready again to go again." Shifu told Tigress who nodded understand. "Crane. Viper. You are up." He called Crane and Viper who walked and slithered to the center.
They bowed to each other and stood their stance as they heard the signal from their master. Tigress watched the spar for a moment when she glanced over to Yu to see him haven't change her behavior. She scratched her head again really doesn't know what to do as she sat down on the ground then glanced up of the spar.
Crane dodged Viper and then stroke with his foot to miss. Tigress stared for only a minute remembering how the cub reminded her how she was like when she was his age. Couldn't control her strength and get angry, she will do the exact the same thing as well.
Out of nowhere, Tigress felt a pressure on her laps as she glanced down to see Yu suddenly on her lap out of nowhere. His ears twitched while he made a pouty look on his face every three seconds. She glanced down and couldn't help, but scratched behind his favorite spot on his ear.
Yu reacted with a purr that he attempted to catch her hand. Tigress smiled a little of his purring and enjoyment. A clear of throat was heard and they looked up to see Master Shifu in front of them smiling. "It is your turn, Tigress." He told the Tiger Master walking off the center.
Tigress placed Yu on the grown. "Stay and watch." She gave him and order she followed with Po beside her.
Viper slithered next to Yu wrapping her tail around him. They watched Tigress and Po bowed to each as they stood their stance smirking.
"Get ready to fee the thundah!" Po shouted one of his mottos as he swung his arms of excitement.
"Let see." Tigress smirked going for the speed.
Shifu stumped his staff on the ground and saw two flashes in front of him. Po punched and kicked pushing Tigress back, which she had him where she wanted him to be. She grabbed the punch with a smirk that worry the Dragon Warrior.
Viper saw the smirk and quickly covered Yu's eyes who wanted to see what happen next. He heard a crash and removed the tail to see Po on his back upside down against the tree dizzy and groaning in pain. He laughed following backward when he noticed him made a goofy look on his face.
Shifu walked over knowing Po need more training. "You alright Po?" Tigress asked crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow with a smirk.
Po answered with a groan that Yu and the other approached to them to check up on him. He slowly sat up rubbing his head of the pain when he was knocked back down by Yu's tackle. The cub bounced on the Dragon Warrior's stomach laughing and having fun.
Po grunted each pain from Yu jumping up and down on his stomach adorable. Monkey and Mantis laughed and Viper giggled quietly from the adorableness. Tigress scratched her head annoyed while Shifu chuckled amusing to watch.
Tigress walked over to them as she extended her hand to grab Yu by the neck who coughed adorable. Po grunted of relief laying back on the ground to let himself feel relax from the pain. Yu struggled to escape from the Tiger Master's grasp.
Po lifted his head up sighing long of relief once more. "Thanks, Tigress." He thanked Tigress sitting up completely. "I never thought he will ever stop bouncing on me stomach." He stood up as he gave a glare to the cub who looked innocent in Tigress' hand.
The other laughed out loud from what he said along with their master laughing as well. The Dragon Warrior glared at them for a moment as he laughed along. Yu growled smiling wide while Tigress shook her head and placed him on her head to behave him later.
"Let's pack up to continue the journey." Shifu ordered his students calming down.
"Yes, Master Shifu." The Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior bowed replying in a union.
Po quickly cleaned the dishes and packed the foods in his back pack. Yu picked up his broken dominoes in his bag. "Let's go, Cub." He heard Tigress' called as he ran up to climb on her back then to the head adorable.
They continued on the path to the Valley of Echo. They passed each trees from where they rested ago. Yu climbed the tree from Tigress along with Monkey beside him. They climbed each branches while Yu hanged upside down to see the other masters on the ground walking past him.
Viper giggled waving with her tail and saw the cub waving with his tail as well. Yu laughed and jumped over a branch to catch up to Monkey. Monkey kept his eyes on him in case he fall from tripping or broken branch.
They walked for hours till Shifu stopped and rested for the night to continue tomorrow. Po made dinner and passed each bowls to his friends. Yu ate dinner first so he can used up all his energy to play to sleep tonight. He found another grasshopper and each other it.
Mantis sighed relief with a big grin on his face. "Good thing that is not me." He spoke out loud listening to Yu's laughing and the grasshopper screaming.
"Huh, is it still you should stop Yu from harming the poor bug?" Crane asked Mantis leaning over to him of concern.
"Crane, you aren't a bug like me. We, bugs, will be easy target to certain bully." Mantis reminded the Crane Master telling how it is to deal with Yu. "If I step in and save that grasshopper, I will be the next target to his plaything. One good tip… don't take a toy from the tiger cub. If you take the toy, then you' are the toy in his eyes. Exactly toys or not, don't ruin his fun or you feel the fury from his strength."
Crane thought about it and then nodded agreeing with Mantis. "Still, he is so adorable with his big eyes." Monkey joined in swallowing a spoon of his food. "I never met adorable kid in my life."
Mantis nodded agreeing with his friend. "I can't agree with you more." He ate another spoon of his food.
"I guess he got it from his parents…" Viper giggled smiling when she mentioned about Yu's parents then faded along with her friends.
Po smacked his lip together, "What do you guys think happen to his parents? How did they got separate from Yu?" He asked worry and sad as he glanced at Yu with the other following.
"I don't want to think if they…" Crane scratched his neck with his foot as he tried not to say the word that they will be afraid to hear.
"Don't say that, Crane. There is no way they can be…" Viper shook her head doesn't want to say the word that will hurt her and Yu.
Tigress remained silence not joining the group as she glanced at her food. She wondered about it as well, but doesn't know why she felt the parents are involved with Yu's memory lost.
Shifu noticed Tigress' behavior of this affect her. "Master Shifu. What do you of this?" Po asked him grabbing his attention.
Shifu sighed deeply long. "It is best not to go any further since the journey has just begun. We will meet Yu's parents on the way to see if this an accident or not." He told his students the best option while Yu glanced over hearing his name.
They nodded agreeing with their master while Tigress glanced over to Yu to see him looking over of curiosity on his face. They finished their dinner and headed to sleep around the fire. Po snored sleep talking along with Monkey and Mantis snoring and sleep talking.
Crane snored soft under his wings with Viper and Shifu slept peacefully than Monkey, Po, and Mantis. Tigress glanced at the sky can't get over what she heard. Who are Yu's parents? What are they like? Why they were with him when he lost his memory?
Glancing around to see her friends and master a sleep, Tigress moved her head back to face two small glowing eyes staring into her eyes. "Yu!" She gasped softly in shock to see Yu awake again and on top of her.
"You're supposed to be a sleep? Why are you awake?" Tigress whispered question Yu who jumped down to let her sat up.
Yu gave a smile flapping his ears and waggling his tail. "Rwar." He roared soft crouching over to rub against her stomach.
Tigress sighed shrugging her shoulders and raising an eyebrow. She saw him looking up with his big eyes glancing adorable. Seeing the eyes like that, she scratched the forehead hearing the purring of enjoyment from him.
Tigress lay back on the ground watching Yu crawled over to the chest to lay down. She couldn't help, but smiled. She doesn't know how he can get her feel like this calming her anger and worrying from any problems. She secretly kissed his forehead, which he felt it, and fall asleep for tomorrow.
