Time for the new crossover between "The New Legend Reboot" and "Phoenix of Yin, Dragon of Yang"!
The Jade Palace was in a pretty depressing mood. Ever since Koji died, two weeks ago, none of the New Legend members were in the mood to do anything but cry. Master Shifu, the Furious Five and Po were on a mission to another region, leaving the Elemental Five alone to the palace. The group was justly gathering at the palace's entrance.
"So? What news?" Kasaiori asked. The four other members of their group have been trying to help their New Legend friends for days to no great results.
"It's always the same thing for Toka." Mizufusen said. "He just sits on his bed and doesn't talk at all."
"I'm afraid Suya's no better." Yang pointed out. "She's always in the courtyard, smashing the tree with her wings."
"If she keeps up like this, they're gonna end up breaking." Tongo Tonga added.
"As for Neyo, he still cries in his room about how he failed to help Koji." Tanchi said.
Kasaiori looked down. "And Alena is always on the palace's roof, waiting for the gods to give her a sign or a power to bring him back. I don't like to see them suffer like this."
"What can we do for them?" Yang asked.
"Nothing: they want their friend back, but it's impossible." The eagle said and shook her head.
As a big feeling of sadness fell upon the group, it was instantly interrupted by a portal that suddenly opened in the middle of the place. A group of five persons came out of it. There was a raven dressed in a blue kimono and a scarf of the same colour around the neck who had a sword tied to his side. There was Lord Shen, but dressed in a red kimono with a different Guan Dao tied on his back. Fenghuang, the rogue warrior owl was also present, as well as Mei Ling, Crane's academy friend, and Fung, the croc bandit.
As they all came out, the raven immediately looked at the group. "Ariguato, my friends." He said with a polite bow.
"Who are you?" Kasaiori asked before a detail clicked in her head. "Wait, I know: you guys are the New Legend's friends from this other world...huh...the To Go, is that right?"
"Tao Gao, yes." Shen corrected. "I am Shen. This is Karasu, Fenghuang, Mei Ling, and Fung." He introduced all the members of his team.
"Nice to meet you all. We are the Elemental Five. My name is Kasaiori." The eagle bowed back.
"I'm Tanchi! Nice to meet you!" The penguin said in excitation and quickly shook the wings, paws, hands of all the Tao Gao members who simply looked at her, dumbfounded.
"I'm Mizufusen. Nice to meet you." The frog said while resting against a pillar with her eyes closed.
"I'm Tongo Tonga..." The giant snake said with a calm voice before Yang, who was hiding behind him, jumped on top of his head.
"And I'm Yang."
GLOMP!
In a split second, the little snake kid found himself in a hug from Mei Ling. "Oh my god! You're so cute!"
He struggled a bit into her gloved paws which pressed him against her chest. "Why do they always react like this?"
"There's not only advantages to be cute, pal." Tanchi remarked which made everyone laugh before the mountain cat released the kid from the hug.
"So, where are the New Legend members?" Karasu asked. "Is Koji there? Back in my world, I felt something strange about him." Upon asking this, the Elemental Five fell silent and looked at the ground which worried the raven. "Guys?"
Since her four friends didn't dared answering, Kasaiori was the one to talk. "Koji is dead..."
Those three simple words were enough to send a big shockwave through the Tao Gao members. Karasu more than the others. "W-What?" He managed to mumble with his eyes wide open after many seconds.
"Two weeks ago, the New Legend went to face a very strong group of criminals from those evil guys, the Spirit Realm Army. Their team leader was very strong. He was about to hit Toka with a strong punch, but..." Her beak started trembling. "Koji putted himself in the way and took the shot instead. "The fist went through him and he cut his arm before dying..."
The five warriors were absolutely shocked. Slowly, everybody turned to look at Karasu whose eyes started being filled with tears. "No... No, that's not possible! NO!" Shen took him in a hug as he started crying the lost of his student and good friend.
In an instant, all the moment Karasu had with Koji flashed through his mind: their two fights in the PST, their time training together, their fight against Ahulani, and many more. The three others joined in the hug as well. After a moment, Karasu finished crying and whipped his tears away.
"Where are the others?" Shen asked.
"Toka is in his room. He didn't wanted to get out of it ever since it happened. Suya is in the training courtyard, Neyo's in his room and Alena is up on the roof." Kasaiori told them. Every Tao Gao members walked toward the palace and toward a different direction each.
Meanwhile, many miles away from there, in the middle of the sea, Kaiba was standing on the canoe where was laying the lifeless body of Koji on a bed of flowers with his sword on his chest. The monkey was holding the late beetle's other sword, the one that he used to give him life after turning him away from the evil's path.
"Koji... When you closed your eyes for the last time and said goodbye to all your friends... Their pain. I felt it." He mumbled while gripping hard on his little sword. "And if your life means so much to them, then there's no way I'll leave your life to end like this after what you did for me. I offer you life." He rose the sword in the air. "Please, accept my gift, my friend..."
He then stabbed it right into the beetle's weaker chest and it created a light blue explosion. In a few seconds, Kaiba's body faded into light dust and entered Koji along with all the ten years of his life. Slowly, the beetle's body regained its normal colours and he let out a small groan before opening his yellow eyes...
You all knew this would happen, don't you? Koji was gonna come back to life one way or the other. It's just too sad that Kaiba had to die for it :(
Anyway, this new crossover is on and I hope that you'll all like it :)
