"I thought I have mastered Chi, master." Po said.
Oogway left not long ago. He took Shifu with him and went to the Valley of Peace. As soon as they left, Kai gathered all people and ordered Kung Fu masters to teach Kung Fu to the villagers. Then he took Po to the top of a mountain to teach him Chi.
"Ugh, don't call me that. And no, you haven't. You feel it too, right?"
Po stood there and closed his eyes, trying to search what Kai meant. After a short meditation, he opened his eyes and nodded.
"Yeah. It felt like... I'm still not my entire self. Like I'm not whole." Po said.
"Before we start training, you have to find that missing part of you. Then, we can start the training. I'll teach Chi to the Kung Fu masters in the meantime." Kai said.
The grey yak stood up and placed his hand on Po's shoulder. "I know you can do this. You are the dragon warrior." he said. Then Kai walked down the mountain, leaving Po alone.
The once beautiful Panda village looked not so beautiful right now. But at least, they were safe for a while. Po walked in the streets of the village looking down. He didn't know where to go. He knew he had to look for that missing part, but he didn't know where.
Hoping to find it somewhere, Po looked around. Villagers were repairing broken buildings. Those who weren't were training Kung Fu along Kung Fu masters. Lots of Po's idols were there. On the other side of the village, he saw faint glowing yellow lights. Kai was training villagers and Kung Fu masters in Chi.
Everyone was working hard. Except him.
Po bumped into someone, and he quickly said his apology. It was Tigress he bumped into. She smiled, but then sent him a confused look.
"Uh, what are you doing, Po?" she asked.
Po played his fingers. "Um, Kai said that I haven't discovered my whole self. There's something missing. I don't have an idea where and how to find it."
"It's me, Po. I'm right here. I'm that missing part of you."
Tigress shook her head, trying to get the thought away. Okay, she liked Po, but how did she know if he likes her back or not? Po looked at her.
"What is it, Tigress?"
"Uh, nothing. Hey, want to train with me?" Tigress offered.
Po's face lit up. He always liked to do something. He nodded hastily. Tigress grabbed his hand and brought him into the bamboo forest, the place where she talked with Tai Lung.
Tigress hoped that she was indeed the one that Po was looking for.
"Hiyah!" Tigress smirked as she sent Po a flurry of punches and kicks infused with Chi.
Po waw forced to use his Chi to block Tigress' attacks. They danced in the bamboo forest with yellow ribbon-like Chi in their hands. Even Mei Mei would be fascinated.
Po sent a Chi punch to the yellow tiger, and she did the same thing. Their fists met, and a yellow Chi wave swept the bamboo forest and the panda village.
Po and Tigress both panted in exhaustion, smiles on their face. They were proud of themselves who could control Chi to such an extent. Sure, Kai was far ahead of them, but they're still progressing.
"When did you learn to use Chi, Ti?" Po asked, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
Tigress smiled. "I found out who I really am." she said.
"Who?" Po asked, raising an eyebrow.
Tigress' face immediately turned red. She couldn't tell Po. Not yet. She haven't anticipated that question. What should she say?
"Uh, I... can't tell you now. Maybe sometime in the future." She tried to find the right words.
"Why?" Po asked. He didn't know what was going on Tigress' head.
"If you don't mind, I want to train with the others again. Bye Po." she said quickly, leaving a confused panda behind.
Unknown to them, a pair of eyes had watched. He smiled.
"Look! It's master Oogway!"
"I thought he had passed away. How could he live again?"
Murmurs of the crowd filled the town. Oogway and Shifu calmly walked into the town. At least Oogway was calm. Shifu had trouble keeping his breaths steady.
"Calm down, my friend."
"But... these many people, not knowing the great danger that was lying near them..."
"That is the reason we are here, isn't it?"
"Right."
Oogway then sent Shifu to gather the crowds and tell them what had happened. He himself would go to the Jade Palace and strengthen the seal he placed to lock the demons in their realm.
As he walked up the stairs to the Jade Palace, Oogway remembered his fight with the dragon demon. Ke-Pa. The demon had almost killee him, if the Peach Tree hadn't saved him. He trapped Ke-Pa into a pig.
Oogway took a breath as feelings of home washed him. He opened the door to the Jade Palace. The sights of legendary items could be seen. He shook his head when he looked at the cracked urn of Whispering Warriors.
The tortoise walked to the water pool under the dragon head that held the dragon scroll. He saw a reflection of himself in the water. But he noticed a glowing green, barely able to be seen, deep inside. Oogway narrowed his eyes, but when he realized it, it was too late.
A mighty boom wrecked the Jade Palace into pieces, and sent Oogway flying far. He managed to balance himself in the air, but he had bruises in his body.
Oogway watched as demons, all kinds of them getting out of the pool of water. He was too late.
"Everyone! Run!" He heard Shifu's voice in the distance.
Villagers were running like headless chickens, but Shifu managed to herd them into the right direction. Oogway jumped to Shifu.
"Shifu.."
"Master!"
"Evacuate the citizens. I will hold them back for you. Go!"
Oogway jumped back to where the demons came from. Shifu held back a tear. There was a high chance he would lose the old tortoise the second time. But he gave him an order. Shifu continued to herd the citizens.
"Before you go further, you have to get through me first." Oogeay shouted to the demons.
He gained the attention of all of them. Good. They all smirked at him. Oogway remembered that he had sealed them in their realm, but they've gotten stronger.
"You're going to pay for what you've done to us." One of them said.
Without further talking, all of them charged at Oogway.
A.N.
Sorry I updated late. I had a one week test in my school. And, I haven't planned what happens after Niu Yao's dead. Well, this is me. Sometimes I update three times a day, sometimes once per two weeks.
