Chapter 10 The Leopard's Death
There was a large factory that was guarded by the wolf soldiers. Panther, Tigress, Monkey, Viper and Crane hops over the wall without getting the attention of two wolf guards passing by as Mantis simply walks past them without making a sound. Mantis hops onto a barrel while his friends was peeking over the barrels. They watch in silence as two wolf guards hurry inside. Tigress can see that the cannon was being moved by several wolf guards.
"Hurry it up!"
"Move it!"
The doors closed, letting Panther and the Furious Five to stand up. Before Panther can say something, a loud bang was heard from inside the factory and the ground beneath them shook a bit.
"What the hell was that?" Tigress asked Panther, looking at her.
"It must be Sying's creations." Panther informed her. "His creations are complete."
"If all those weapons leave the building, China will fall." Tigress muttered.
"We bring down the building." Viper smiled.
"Hey guys." Mantis whispered, getting everyone's attention. "How about this?" He picks up small amount of the black powder and begins to rub the powder between his claws real quick. A couple sparks blew up in his face as his face was covered in black soot. "This will work!"
"All right." Tigress nodded her head. "Let's go."
"Hang on, Tigress." Panther said. "I don't think that using the black powder may be enough to bring down the helicopters."
Tigress turns to her right to look at her. "Is there a way to bring down the helicopters?" Tigress asked.
"Yes, there is a way." Panther nodded her head. "We can use the black powder to set off inside the factory to destroy the cannons, but we can use one of the cannons to destroy the helicopter. I'll get one of the cannons."
"How?" Viper asked, looking at Panther.
"Once we get inside, I'll have to rush by the soldiers quick." Panther answered.
"Alright." Tigress nodded her head. "Good luck then." Tigress picks up the barrel in front of her and found a cart that was nearby.
Panther was the last one to pick the barrel and followed her friends. As she was walking near Monkey, Panther was thinking about what happened back in Gongmen Jail. Tigress kissed Leo in front of her and Panther knew that Leo has a fear of tigers. "What the hell is going on, Leo?" Panther thought. "You're afraid of tigers."
This didn't went unnoticed by Viper. Viper knows what Panther is thinking. She slithers past Crane and slithers next to Tigress. Viper wonders if Tigress was going to talk to Panther about what happen with Leo.
Several feet away from them, Leo landed near a couple of crates. He can see there are two wolf guards patrolling on the other side. Leo drew his sword quietly. He ran towards the first wolf, stabbing him through the heart before slicing the wolf's throat. He sheath the sword and snuck up behind the second wolf. The second wolf has no idea that Leo was behind him. He turns around and notices his friend dead. Leo didn't give the wolf a chance before snapping the wolf's neck.
There were a couple of bushes that was several feet from Leo. He hid the dead bodies to make sure no one notices. Leo looks up to see several platforms above him. He quickly ran towards the wall and did the Tahlia Leap to get up on the platform. Leo slowly walks into the factory. He stayed into the shadows to avoid being detected. There were so many cannons that were already made and ready. At the far back of the factory was a conveyer belt dumping metal into a big metal pot full of lava.
"That's where you keep them." Leo muttered, noticing a gorilla soldier going down a trap door near the entrance. He jumps off the platform and lands near the trap door. Leo opens the trap door and went underneath it. As he got to the bottom floor, there were so many helicopters that was lined up on either side of the room since this room is so big. Several beams of light shine from above in different parts of the room.
"See to it complete." Sying's voice said from somewhere.
Leo quickly turns his head around. Was the young prince behind him or on either side of him? He turns his head back forward and continues to walk near the far end of the room. After he stops walking, the ceiling above break. Leo jumps backward and quickly drew his diamond sword. He was able to block Sying's double edge sword.
"Heh." Sying chuckled darkly. "To think you can stop me, but you cannot."
"Do not think I will hesitate to kill you Sying." Leo growled in anger. "Because you will pay for what you did."
"Whatever do you mean?" Sying asked. "Oh, that night."
"I will make sure your reign will be over now before it begins." Leo growled.
Sying smirks as he was backing up into the shadows. He pushed a button on the wall. Leo felt the ground shook. He jumps high to avoid the explosion but the explosion sent him flying through the roof. Leo can see the prince following after him as the prince appeared behind him and delivers a couple of quick punches.
"Ahh!" Leo grunted as he was sent flying to a nearby chain. His left arm slams into the chain and the chain wraps around Leo's arm.
Outside of the factory, Tigress quickly pushes the cart of black powder towards the factory, as Monkey and Mantis were riding the cart. Tigress was nearing a pole that Viper slithers down with a lantern in mouth. She hands Monkey the lantern and Monkey throws the lantern into the fireworks and black powder.
Panther ran ahead of Tigress as they entered the factory. Tigress didn't waste anytime as she threw the cart towards them. The cart toppled over and fell to the side with the barrels of black powder being lit.
Panther didn't waste a single second as she passed the startle soldiers.
"Here's your new year gift." Monkey called them.
"Hope you like it, 'cause you can't return it." Mantis said.
The Furious Five was about to leave until they heard a yell. Tigress ran past Monkey and looks up to see Po hanging on. "Po?" Tigress asked confused. "What's he doing here?"
Panther looks up and sees Leo hanging on a chain. "Leo!" Panther gasps.
"Return it!" Monkey yelled in panic. Monkey ran over to the barrels trying to put it out. His friends followed his lead. But they became surrounded by the wolf soldiers. Tigress growled before they went into combat.
Leo began to swing back and forth to reach a nearby platform. He was close enough to cut the chain and lands on the platform. Leo see's Sying's back turned towards him.
"This place will be your grave." Sying said, turning back around to face Leo.
"Ha!" Leo yelled furiously, going after Sying. He punches Sying in the stomach but the prince took a step back before grabbing Leo's shoulders and gave him a knee strike to the stomach. The prince headbutted Leo, stunning him. He quickly threw Leo over on a conveyer belt with the Dragon Warrior several feet away.
"Shit shit!" Leo cursed as he was heading towards the end of the room.
Panther fought her way through the wolf soldiers. She jumps on a platform where several wolves were coming towards them.
"Get out of our way!" Panther bellowed. Panther threw in some quick punches at a couple of wolves and jumps onto another platform between two wolves. She didn't give them a chance to attack before she did a hook punch towards the first wolf in front of her and did a elbow smash to the second wolf behind her.
Tigress joins her did a jump split kick to the two wolves. Panther dodges to her left as a gorilla soldier landed in front of them.
"Groar!" the gorilla solider yelled.
"Gr!" Tigress growled.
The gorilla solider threw in a punch at Tigress but Tigress quickly pushes the gorilla's fist away towards the floor before delivering a elbow smash to the gorilla's chin. He tried to grab Tigress but Tigress jumps over his right arm and kicks him across the face.
Three wolves appeared with another gorilla soldier. The wolves snarled.
"Tch." Panther snickered. Panther dodges a couple attacks from the first wolf. She did a spinning hook kick to send the first wolf down on the floor before grabbing his tail and swung him into his comrades. "Ha!" Panther shouted doing a backflip to dodge the gorilla grabbing her.
Leo can hear Po's scream as the Dragon Warrior grabs a metal stick to hang on so he can move. He was getting close to the lava. The chain that he cut was next to him. He wraps the chain around his left arm. As soon as Leo was about to fall off the conveyer belt, he threw the chain onto a hook and the hook pulled Leo out before he can fall in.
Leo swung around in a circle and the hook let's go of the chain. He lands on the platform where Po cornered Shen. Leo swing his diamond sword at Sying but the prince lunges in with his Double Edge sword. Leo was forced to block Sying's attack. The prince saw an opening and sweeps Leo off his feet.
"Get him!" Sying yelled.
Several wolves ran towards Leo and captured him. A cannon was shot and a scream can be heard. Leo looks up in time to see Po flying through the wall. "Damn you!" Leo yelled with anger. He slices the heads of his captors in anger. Leo quickly jumps onto the platform where Sying smirked. "Ha!" Leo yelled as he swung his sword at Sying.
The prince ducks down but Leo grabs him by the throat and lifts him into the air. Leo pulls back his fist and started punching hard into the prince's stomach. After taking several punches, the prince was thrown into Shen's powerful cannon.
"Ha... ha..." The young prince gasps, trying to breathe.
Panther was captured by the same gorilla that captured Tigress. Two wolves drags back Tigress to him.
"Now." Leo growled, keeping his eyes on the prince. "You're not going anywhere."
"So..." Sying coughed, getting up as he stares at Leo. "You... say."
"Tch." Leo snarled. "I won't let you kill anyone for what you did."
"Especially what happen to your parents?" Sying asked slyly.
Leo answered his question with an angry yell.
"Your parents was the last people that fought against me." Sying said. "Do you want to know what I did that night?"
Leo didn't say a word, trying to capture his breath.
"Then here it is." Sying chuckled darkly. "I murdered your parents in cold blood. Those two people aren't even fit to be even be called your parents. I am glad they're dead."
Leo felt like he wanted to explode. He wanted to kill the man that murdered his parents.
"Say hello to them when you die! Sying shouted. The prince jumps father behind Shen and lands on a big cloth. He cuts the ropes revealing a MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopter. It was two times bigger than the original size.
Leo was still trying to catch his breath. He is still standing in front Shen's powerful cannon. Leo can see that Sying took out a rocket launcher. Shen and Sying both fired their weapons together in unison.
"Gah!" Leo screamed as he got hit by the cannon ball and the rocket, flying through the air.
"NO!" Panther screamed breaking free with Tigress.
"LEO!" Tigress screamed.
Panther tries to capture Leo but she missed. Panther watches in horror to see her friend blasting out of the factory. The rocket and the cannon ball exploded, killing Leo in the process. A powerful roar can be heard throughout Gongmen City.
Back in the Valley Of Peace, Shifu can feel the breeze of the wind after he collapsed. Something was wrong. The small red panda decided to travel to Gongmen City to help the Furious Five, the Dragon Warrior and Leo. His students is going to need all the help they can get to defeat Lord Shen and Prince Sying. As Shifu left the cave, a thunder went off.
