Revelation and a Test


"PO! NO!" Tai-gee shouted as he watched Po going down to the ground. Tai-gee picked him up and carried him up the mountain to the Jade Palace with the other Furious Five right on his tail. Po had used up a lot of energy and was just resting, but the others didn't know that.


Earlier this morning, there was a big emergency in the Village. Ke-Pa was back. As the massive dragon started to fly over the valley, Shifu was at a lost what to do. "It's over," he said in despair. "Even if the Dragon Warrior managed to get his power back, it wouldn't be enough. Ke-Pa's gotten stronger."

"What do we do?" Viper asked. Then Tai-gee thought of something.

"Maybe there's hope. You guys told me that the Peach Tree Sapling saved Po in the end. I've had this strange power. Maybe I can use it to help you," he proposed. Before Shifu could object, Po said.

"Let's do it. It won't kill us if we try." They ran up to the sapling. Po and Tai-gee placed both hands gently on the plant. Slowly, the plant started to glow. Then a light that was black and white came out of it. The White light merged into Po and the Black light merged into Tai-gee. Po, with his white aura surrounding him, celebrated. "Yeah, we're back!" There was a crash down at the valley.

"And not a moment too soon. We have to put those demons in their place. Ready brother?" Tai-gee asked.

"Yeah, get ready to feel the thunda'!" Po shouted as they jumped down the mountain. The demons were running rampaged throughout the valley.

"Destroy my brothers! Destroy!" Ke-Pa shouted.

"Not today," Po shouted. Ke-Pa looked down at the panda and masked cat. He laughed.

"Even with the Hero's chi, you can't defeat me again. Demons, attack!" Ke-Pa demanded. As they came, Tai-gee shot a beam of black light at them and they disappeared.

"What? two of you have it? Impossible!" Ke-Pa shouted.

"Impossible is something we can be very good at doing," Tai-gee remarked shooting another beam. Po and Tai-gee managed to defeat all the demons, except one, Ke-Pa.

"I'll finish you myself," he screamed. He came charging up the middle. Po and Tai-gee stood at a stance. They looked at each other and nodded.

"Fusion Blast!" they both shouted. Suddenly, their bodies turned black and white as their beams of light came out from their hands. It mixed together and shot Ke-Pa into oblivion. After the dust settled, the two were the only ones left standing. Their bodies back to normal and everything looked better. The crowd shouted and cheered. And it was during this celebration that Po fainted from exhaustion.


"He'll be fine," Master Shifu assured, "He's just very exhausted. A few days' rest and he'll be fine." Shifu left with Crane, Mantis, Monkey, and Viper. Tai-gee stayed behind to look after his brother. Tigress leaned against the doorway looking at Tai-gee.

"You take really good care of him, don't you?" Tigress said.

"Of course, he is my brother isn't he?" Tai-gee answered as if the question were dumb.

"But he's just your adopted brother and you just met him two years ago," Tigress said.

"Two years, or two decades. He is my brother and I will always worry about him. He worried about me all those years, and it's my turn to do the same," Tai-gee explained emotionally. Then he heard a noise. Out of nowhere, five snow leopards surrounded Tai-gee and Tigress. They were about to get Po when Tai-gee took a sword nearby and slid it between them. "Stay away from my brother," Tai-gee said menacingly. All five snow leopards jumped on Tai-gee and tried to bring him down. They tumbled out side while Tai-gee screamed to Tigress, "Make sure they don't get to Po." She turned around to see Junjie about to take Po. Tigress leapt into action. Junjie laughed.

"Do you really think you can fight me?" he asked.

"I'll sure give it my best shot," Tigress answered. Ultimately, she was defeated but she fought courageously. While Junjie had her by the throat on the ground, he laughed again.

"It's amazing. I managed to resurrect Ke-Pa, take down that masked guy, and defeat you all so I can kill the panda. So he won't infer with my plans to takeover the Jade Palace," Junjie said. Tigress was exhausted. She couldn't move. As Junjie walked over to Po, someone said.

"I said it before, and I'll say it again. Stay away from my brother," Tai-gee said holding a pile of five defeated snow leopards on his shoulder. But something was different. His mask was torn off. To make matters worse, Shifu and the others came in and saw him. Tigress, too. Junjie was shocked.

"You're supposed to be dead," he said in amazement.

"Well, Po and Oogway decided to give me another chance. And I took it this time. Now, I know that I wasn't destined to Dragon Warrior. I was destined to be this," Tai-Lung said smiling. Junjie saw this as an opportunity for him to switch sides.

"Well, you can always join me and you'll have your brother alive, and all the power you want." Junjie said. Shifu, Tigress, and everyone looked at Tai-Lung to see his decision. Tai-Lung dropped the sack of Snow leopards walked up to Junjie and shook his hand, but he smiled wickedly.

"Never in this lifetime," Tai-Lung said throwing Junjie into the wall, knocking him out. The others looked at Tai-Lung in amazement.

"You're..."

"Sorry for everything I've done in the past, wish that I could go back and right all the wrongs I've done, and wish that Po was here to explain this better to you," Tai-Lung finished. Presently, Zeng came in. He looked at everyone and everything and said

"So I'm guessing you told them?"

"You knew?" The Furious Five and Shifu asked.

"Yeah, remember that family member that Po took me and Mr. Ping on? That's where we met Tai-Lung," Zeng explained.

"Look," Tai-Lung said rubbing the back of his neck, "I know that you guys don't trust me. And I know that no amounts of 'I'm sorry' will help me. I understand if you kick me out the village right now." It was quiet for a long time. Tigress at this time was up off the floor. Finally, Shifu said.

"You've truly changed. Your character, your attitude, and your desires have all changed. You're no longer the person that I trained wrong. You're completely different." Then Shifu looked at Po, then at Zeng. "How long did you keep this secret?" Zeng pulled out the red chest that had all of Tai-Lung's letters. Tai-lung and the others were amazed that Po kept all of them.

"Two years," Zeng finally answered. Shifu looked to the Furious Five.

"Do you see this man before you? Do you accept his apology?" he asked. All the Furious Five were quiet.

"If Po trusts him above everyone else, then I trust him," Monkey said.

"Me, too," Said Mantis.

"Count me in," Viper said.

"I'm in," Crane agreed. They all looked at Master Tigress. She was silent for a moment.

"You've done the Valley of Peace and other villages a great service after your transformation. It would be unjust to exile you now," Tigress finally said.

"That's the Tigress way of saying 'you're in'," Zeng explained. Tai-Lung bowed before the masters.

"Thank you all for giving me this chance," He said as the others bowed and left the room taking Junjie and his goons to jail. Tigress stayed a little longer looking at Tai-Lung before going. Tai-Lung rested his hand on Po as he was asleep.

"Our job is done brother. Sleep well," Tai-Lung whispered as he and Zeng exited the room. But the job was only nearly complete.


Felt like doing something nice today.
