Okay, now they're on the way to Secluded Valley. What's gonna happen? Guess we'll find out...

Chapter 10: On the Road

Hours later, the gang continued on their way to Secluded Valley with the pack wolves in front of them. While on the way, Musaki starts to get to know most of his cousins a little more and he asked Samurai, "So, when did you become adapted to kung fu?"

"I got into it when I was about...7 or 8, because I had a summer camp thing, like near the place where the Furious Five were residing in and it really changed my life for the better and as I got older and got more moves, I decided this is exactly what I'm gonna do. And now, I'm sitting here with two of the five in the same carriage with my cousin." Samurai said.

"So, Musaki...who did you look up to the most?" asked Cody.

"I always looked up to Mantis and Crane, because they're heroes to me and when I look at the poster of the entire Five on the wall, like in my room at the orphanage, I always hoped that they were the ones I would go to when I have problems and that they understood me well. And I always look up to Monkey as well, because from what I heard, he's pretty funny, but fierce as well." Musaki answered.

"I see. Which one though?"

Musaki knew that it was a hard question to ask and doesn't feel like choosing between all three of them and he knew that Mantis and Monkey were sitting between him and said, "Can't it be three?"

"Lil' Saki...It's cool. Hearing that you look up to us the most makes us feel honored." Monkey said, happily.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, whoever you look up to, it's fine with us." Mantis said.

Musaki breathed deeply and said, "Okay...the one I look up to the most is...Crane."

Mantis and Monkey weren't surprised at all when Musaki answered that question and Mantis said, "Okay, that's cool. We're cool with it."

"Yeah, I agree." Monkey said.

"So, why do you look up to Crane?" asked Samurai.

"Well...because he's awesome at dodging those arrows, flies higher and makes great moves as well." Musaki replied.

"What do you think of him now?" asked Mantis.

"He's like the big brother I never had and he's really cool to be with, hang around with or talk to when I have a problem and I know that he'll always have my back whenever I need him, same as Monkey and Mantis. I think I look up to him the most than Crane, but I don't want to count him out."

"That's amazing and it's totally fine."

He looks up and sees Kiba and Toboe on both sides of the carriage and he asked, "You guys sure you know your way around Secluded Valely?"

"Absoultely." Kiba said.

"We've only got like...what 3 miles or something?"

"4 1/2, actually."

"Well, that's not further."

"Why do you have to go there anyway...if you don't mind my asking?"

"Well, I have to see my relatives that I never knew I had in my family history. Since my parents died, I never really knew much about my family and I needed to know more about my parents and my relatives as well."

"You must've been through a lot."

"I have."

Toboe scoffs at Musaki and said, "Why even bother to know about your family history?"

Musaki was surprised by that comment and asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"You don't know much about your family and yet you have an uncle and 29 cousins. How is that possible that you want to see more of your living family members?"

"Well, nothing is impossible."

"And why do I doubt you?"

"I thought we were cool last night."

"We are."

Kiba sighed heavily and looks at Musaki and said, "Don't worry about him. Just give him some time."

"I hope so."

Hours later, they were 2 miles ahead to Secluded Valley and they're almost there and Musaki went over to his Uncle Mako, who's sitting on the top of the carriage to have a little conversation.

"So, what's it like in Secluded Valley?" asked Musaki.

"It's really amazing. Everytime I went in your parent's cave, I think of them and you at the same time. All of our relatives live there and it's very protected and tight-knit, meaning our family stays together."

"How surprised do you think they'll be when they see me for the first time?"

"I think they'll be very surprised to see that you're alive."

A couple of minutes later, out of the blue, Uncle Mako gets yanked by some random unseen figure, which surprised Musaki as he looks down and sees that he's nowhere to be found. He panics and exclaimed, "STOP THE CARRIAGES!"

The carriages stop and everyone pops out of there and Shifu asked, "What's the matter?"

"Someone took Uncle Mako!" Musaki exclaimed.

"Calm down, Lil' Saki. We'll find him, okay?" Po said.

Musaki was panting fearfully, hoping that he comes out all right and then, he hears fighting sounds come out of nowhere and Uncle Mako walks out without even a scratch. Musaki felt overjoyed and hugged him tightly and asked, "You okay?"

"I'm fine."

"What was that?" asked Tigress.

"I don't know. One minute I'm talking to Musaki, then the next minute..."

All of a sudden, they all heard a growl come out of nowhere and Po asked, "Where did that come from?"

"Something's not right here." Crane said.

Then, all of a sudden, it comes closer and what met their eyes is there's a big dangerous fierce gorilla storming through and started bellowing loudly. Musaki looked scared and said, "This is not good."

Dunh-dunh...DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNN! I TOLD ya'll there's gonna be a battle scene coming up! Next chapter, the battle...IS ON!
