The Jade Warrior

Chapter Nine: Confined in the Jade Palace.

Chi stirred from a sleep caused by the exhaustion caused by being chased the night before.

"What happened?"

"Chi!"

"Po?"

Then, she realized that she was in the Jade Palace.

"What a headache…" The fox groaned as she sat up.

"Chi! You're okay!" Po said upon seeing the vixen.

"Hi, Po." Chi groaned in pain.

"Oops." The panda said, when he saw Chi holding her head with her hands.

"Not a problem." The fox said, "Why am I here?"

"You were attacked by Tai Lung, and you're asking that question?" Po exclaimed at the vixen.

Chi waited for a moment of a strange silence before she answered.

"Yeah."


An hour later, Chi recovered from her headache and went to the Hall of Heroes.

"I wonder what the Masters of Kung Fu are doing." Chi said to herself quietly as she reached for the door.

Once she touched the door, she heard a yell.

"What?" The fox asked herself.

Then, she looked beside her and saw the other door was opened.

"That's strange." Chi said, remembering that the other door was not open earlier.

The vixen looked back and saw the other door was opened as well.

"This is getting weird."

Then, she saw three people: Tai Lung, Oogway, and Shifu.

"What are they doing…?"

Then, she saw that Tai Lung was upset and ran off.

"What is going on?" The fox asked.

Then, a hand placed itself onto Chi's shoulder,, which the fox to turn around and saw Monkey.

"Oh! Hi, Monkey." The fox said, relieved that it was a friend.

"Hi, Chi." The primate said, "I was to get you, so I went to your room, but you weren't there."

"Sorry." The vixen said, feeling sorry for the ape.

"Let's go; the others are waiting in here." Monkey said with a smile.

"Okay." Chi agreed.

The fox turned and hit her face into the door.

"Ow!"

"Chi, are you okay?"

"Yeah." The fox said, trying to laugh off the injury.

"Okay." Monkey said, very unsure about the vixen's answer.

The two entered after Chi opened the door.

"Hi, guys!" Po greeted the two with a weak smile.

"What's wrong?" Chi asked the panda.

"What are you talking about? Nothing's wrong." The panda said quickly, but he was not convincing the fox.

"All right. Shifu doesn't want you to leave the Jade Palace."

"Really?" The fox asked.

"Really." Shifu's voice rang throughout the Hall.

The three turned and saw the red panda right behind them.

"Hi, Shifu." Chi said meekly.

"Hello." Shifu responded. Then, he turned to Po and Monkey and said, "Would two left me and Chi alone?"

"Yes, Master." Po and Monkey answered and left the Hall of Heroes.

"Chi, I'm sorry to do this, but I must forbidden you from leaving the Jade Palace." The red panda said with regret on his face.

"Why?" The fox inquired.

"Well, I have good reason to belief that you're the Jade Warrior." Shifu answered with a sigh.

"The Jade Warrior?" Chi asked, remembering something about that from a dream.

"But I'm not for sure."

"Well, that's good to hear."

"All I'm sure that Tai Lung thinks you are." Shifu continued.

"So, I'm here until it's proven?"

"Yes." The red panda answered.

Chi shook her head in some disbelief; being a prisoner was not what she had in mind, but she looked at the bright side; better Shifu than Tai Lung.

"Okay."

"There's no…" Shifu said before he really understood what the fox said and asked, "What?"

"I said 'okay.'" The vixen said.

The red panda was flabbergasted.

"No resistance to the idea? No protests? No disagreeing?"

"Nope." Chi answered.

Then, the Kung Fu Master recomposed him and said, "Well, I'm glad you understand."

As Shifu started to leave the hall, Chi found herself giggling a bit at the red panda.
