Crane, Tigress, Po, and Kiro stumbled back into the camp site, gasping for air.

The other warriors burst out of their tents to see what the commotion was about.

"Po! You saved Tigress! I can't believe—PO LOOK OUT!" Viper yelled.

She slithered under Po's legs and gave a stinging uppercut with her tail to the ninja behind him. She quickly knocked the man off his feet and slithered on top of him.

"Who are you?" She demanded.

"Argh! Augh! Probably should've taken the mask off first, huh?" Kiro said.

"Kiro?" The four warriors said in unison.

"None other." He replied.

"But, how did you survive?" Monkey asked.

"I grabbed my staffs after they gave way to the ceiling and used them to block most of the rubble, but eventually I got buried in it. I was able to slip past Sage's men afterwards, but I lost you guys. From there, I followed the army to its next destination, Ban Shi city. I was planning on waiting until Sage was alone and then capture him, but instead I found out that you guys were here, and I helped Tigress and Po escape." Kiro explained.

"Kiro, is what Sage said about you true?" Tigress asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. I was afraid you guys wouldn't let me help you if you knew about my true past."

"What past?" Monkey asked.

Tigress and Po filled them in on what Sage planned to do if he took control of the throne and about Kiro's past. All the while, Kiro stood in the shadows, not walking over to, or talking to anyone.

After Tigress and Po were finished, they all looked at Kiro.

"Should we trust him?" Mantis asked.

"No! He was Tai Lung's apprentice!" Monkey remarked.

"He's changed! Didn't you hear? Once he knew that Tai Lung was evil, he quit and became a good guy!" Po exclaimed.

"I agree with Po. Let's give him another chance. He did help you guys out of the city, ya know." Viper added.

"Yeah, he risked it all for you guys." Crane said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Monkey said.

"He also saved us all from being crushed! Let's not forget that!" Mantis said.

Everyone looked at Tigress.

Tigress walked over to Kiro. "Kiro, we all trust you. It doesn't matter what you did in the past, it matters what you do now. We all trust you and would be happy to have you back on our team. What do you say?"

Kiro looked at her, then at the group.

"I think it would be, as a great hero would say, 'awesome'."

Po smiled. "Sweet!" He said excitedly.
