A/N: Sorry for the wait, but here's chapter 10! I hope you enjoy! :D I don't own KFP or the Kaftar from Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011.
Chapter 10 - The beginning of an epic adventure
Tigress, Po, Vanessa, and Tai Lung stared in awe of the Earth as it slowly began to get smaller and smaller, telling them the ship is moving further away from the planet.
"Guh-guh guys...we-we're in space and are leaving our planet..." Vanessa said in a shocked tone.
"Oh no! We...we..we gotta get back down there!" Po said desperately.
Tai Lung stopped Po before he could move and said, "No! No! The Solar Team cannot know we're here! If they do, who knows what they'll do!"
"We're so dead when we get back down to the Earth. I don't know what Shifu might say!" Vanessa said in a shook up tone.
"Okay! Okay! Quiet everyone!" Tai Lung said, "We've gotta hide before someone sees us! We should be able to form a plan before we get to wherever they're going!"
"But...we can't breathe in space!" Po pointed out.
"I'm sure they'll have oxygen, they do here. Maybe they have oxygen in their main base or something! I know it all seems critical, but we've gotta try this!"
"Yeah, MAYBE. We're in a tighter spot than we were in New York City!" Vanessa pointed out.
"We shouldn't be standing here arguing! Someone could hear us!" Tai Lung said desperately.
"Yeah, let's move into a better hiding place," agreed Po.
They looked at Tigress, who's still on her knees staring in shock out the window. The Earth was about the size of a basketball now, and it was getting smaller and smaller. Po put his paw on Tigress' shoulder and said, "Tigress, we gotta move." He slowly helped her up, she was shaking as she began to stand up.
"I think she's going into shock," Tai Lung said, examining her.
"No doubt about that. She's paralyzed," said Vanessa.
Po picked up Tigress bridal side and began to carry her, he looked at the others and asked, "We gotta find a safer place, right?"
Vanessa and Tai Lung looked at each other before agreeing to Po's choice.
"I'll be using my technology to help us get to a safer and more isolated place in the ship," Vanessa said
"Who knows, this ship could be active all the time," said Tai Lung.
"Yes. Let's move," said Po.
Vanessa activated her x-ray glasses, her latest addition, to find a better place to hide. As they try to find a place to hide, Tigress is just in shock of where they are.
Oh my gosh...I can't believe this is happening... she thought.
Meanwhile, at the main deck of the ship, Jupiter and the other Solar Team members are carefully monitoring anything for signs of Vulcan as they made their way from Earth.
"Saturn, set course for the Solar Base. We must find where Vulcan's main project for Vulcanism is happening," said Jupiter.
"Yes Jupiter," replied Saturn.
As they began to do so, Uranus was walking over to a fountain to get a drink of water, and then he saw Neptune playing with Po's action figures he "found."
"Neptune, what do you have there?" he asked.
Neptune looked at Uranus with his grin and said, "Action figures of the cool warriors back on Earth! I found them!"
"Where'd you get them?"
"Just in the Valley! What a beautiful Vaaallleeeeyyy, sweet!" Neptune sang.
Uranus cringed a bit, but then he said, "You need to straighten up, Neptune."
"Same to you," Neptune argued with a wide smile.
"I'm not the one who needs straightening up!" Uranus shouted.
"Yes you are!"
"UGH!" Uranus groaned, "I'm going to the kitchen! Did you clean it?"
"Oh, drat it! You're right! Goodbye Uranium!"
Then he took off to sweep up the kitchen. We join Jupiter as he thinks about Vulcan and what happened in the past.
"If not for the comet, things would be fine!" Vulcan's voice echoed through Jupiter's mind.
Things were fine already until YOU decided to royally mess up you twit! Jupiter thought.
"I did wanna protect the Solar System! I did! But you didn't keep your word on protecting it!"
Then he looked at a monitor and he detected something on the ship.
"Saturn! Come over here," he said.
Saturn went over to Jupiter and asked, "What is it?"
Jupiter pointed to the monitor and said: "Four figures are on board this ship. Send a search party, if they're hostiles, eliminate them." Saturn understood and sent out Orcus, Varuna, and Sedna to go look for the four figures.
Back in the hallways of the SolarX, Po, Tai Lung, and Vanessa are sneaking around the hallways making sure they're not caught. Po is carrying Tigress, it was a bit hard, but he loved every moment of it. He looked at Vanessa who has been examining the ship with her x-ray goggles.
"Vanessa, do you see anything?" Po asked.
"I see lots of good hiding places," Vanessa replied.
"Then why haven't we been able to go into one?" Tai Lung asked.
"If they weren't made of titanium steel, and weren't locked, we would be able to hide!" Vanessa groaned.
"Then let's go get a key," said Po.
"Unfortunately, we have to have a special key," said Vanessa, "A Solar Team or TNO member. Certain members of the teams have access to certain areas. And we don't have a blasted key!"
"Well, that is just perfect!" Tai Lung groaned.
"Keep your voice down! We could be caught soon! There's nothing but hallways! And we have to have access to every room and door anywhere! We're stuck here until someone finds us!"
Then they heard a door open! They whirled around to see Neptune running down the hall. Vanessa got an idea, and then they hid. At the right timing, she tackled Neptune and kept his mouth shut. Then she let go of his mouth in disgust, and Neptune was seen with drool on his mouth.
"Oooooh! Hoo! Hoo!" Neptune laughed, "I know how to get enemies away from me!"
"UGH! That's disgusting!" Vanessa said in a disgusted tone as she shook the drool off.
"HEY! Wait a minute!" Neptune said with a wide smile and wide eyes, "I know you four! You're the four warriors from China? HEY! What're you doing here?! NO WAIT! Lemme guess! You wanna have dinner with me!"
"No. I want my action figures!" Po said with a glare.
"Action figures? You mean like the action figures I have?"
"You stole my action figures!" Po shouted.
"Not steal, borrow. I borrowed your action figures," Neptune said with a smile.
"You should borrow with permission! Not borrow without it!"
"Ah, permission's permission. You can borrow anything you want, anytime, as long as you get it back before it's missed."
"This isn't Spongebob, Neptune. You have to borrow with permission," said Vanessa.
"HEY! Aren't you guys not supposed to be here? Or did Jupiter invite you along?" Neptune said with a suggestive smile.
"NO! Po just HAD to run for his action figures you took!"
"OOOOOHHHHH! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Quite the cranky one. And why are you still a babe?!"
"Don't make me tackle you again!" Vanessa snarled.
"Hiding's not an option here," Neptune said with a smirk.
"Can you give us your key?" Po asked.
"Now I may be a dunce, but I know how to stick to the policies," Neptune said with a chuckle.
Po and the others looked at each other in shock, they wondered how can Neptune be a dunce and still know the rules of his team?
"Hey Neptune! How about bunny rabbits instead of that boring card?" Po reasoned.
"HA! HA! HA!" Neptune laughed, "You're quite the gambler, eh panda? That stuff's tempting, but Jupiter's my boss! HA! HA!"
Vanessa lunged for the card, but Neptune said, "Not now! Woo!" Then Vanessa crashed into a fire extinguisher and all of the foam chemicals landed on her. Neptune laughed and said, "You better watch yourself on this ship, it's a doozy!"
"Neptune, we really need to get back to Earth. And I REALLY need my action figures!" Po rasped.
"No can do! I got a kitchen to clean!" Neptune said with a wide smile.
"Dang it, Neptune! Let..."
"Uhhhhhhhh ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Looks like they've found you four!"
They looked to see Orcus, Varuna, and Sedna heading towards them! Sedna said into her radio, "Jupiter we've found them!"
"Bring them to me!" Jupiter said from the radio.
"Yes sir! Right away!"
The three figures, except Tigress, still in Po's arms, began running. But the three Steroids were too fast and they were tackled to the ground!
"Oh whisker twister!" Vanessa shouted.
They now were captured by the three Steroids while Neptune said, "I told you, it's a dooooozyyyyy!"
Later at the main deck of the SolarX, Jupiter and the other members of the Solar Team, except Neptune, who's swabbing the kitchen, are waiting for Sedna and her team to bring the four prisoners.
"How can someone get onto this ship undetected? It's highly secured," said Saturn.
"Probably stowaways," said Jupiter, "Whoever it is will be in..."
Then he gasped when he saw Sedna and her team bring in Po, Tigress, Tai Lung, and Vanessa. They were brought before Jupiter and the Solar Team who were shocked one hundred percent.
"These are them, sir," said Sedna.
Jupiter looked at the warriors in shock and asked, "HOW IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM DID YOU GET ON BOARD THIS SHIP?!" They were too afraid to answer, they don't know what they'll do to them now that they've caught them.
"Answer me!" Jupiter demanded.
"Po wanted his precious action figures!" Vanessa blurted out.
"Yeah! Neptune took them!" Po managed to say.
"What action figures?" Jupiter asked, crossing his arms.
"These would be them, sir," said Uranus.
He looked to see Uranus holding all of Po's action figures, Jupiter grew so upset he then shouted, "Oooooohhhhhhhh, NEEEEEEPPPTUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!" Then Neptune came out of the door in a flash shouting: "Yes...SIR!"
"You royal screw up! You outdid yourself this time! We're stuck with these Earthlings because you took their stupid action figures! We're on a high stake mission and we have to get to the base now! What do you have to say for yourself?!" Jupiter shouted, completely angry.
Neptune just kept his grin and said, "Cheesecakes are so delicious."
Jupiter groaned very loudly, stamped his foot on the ground and kicked a chair across the room. It hit Neptune, knocking him down, but then he bolted back up and he said, "Ta-DA!"
"Calm down, Jupiter," Saturn said, trying to calm him down.
"Calm down?!" Jupiter snarled, "How can I calm down?! We have these untrained fighters against the Solar System and now you're telling me to calm down?!"
"Maybe we can keep an eye on them."
Po stood up and said, "If y'all hadn't noticed, we're the Dragon Warrior and..."
"You might be trained in kung fu, but you don't have sword skills, or the advanced fighting skills we have. We fight with space pods, lasers, and other things. You name it," Jupiter pointed out.
"I took sword fighting lessons when I was back in New York City," Vanessa said.
"Maybe you should stop putting us down and let us show you what we can do," Tai Lung reasoned.
"You might be skilled, and I respect that, but I cannot accept you into the Solar Team, because you don't know what it's like in space. We've been out here for 4,000 years or so. And you've not been here a fraction of that," Jupiter pointed out/
Tigress managed to recover from her shock, and she said, "Are you saying you're better than us?!"
"Yes. We're better fighters, trained for outer space. You can't breathe in space but we can."
"We do have the Solar Chewies," Mercury pointed out.
"Yes we do!" Uranus said, remembering.
"It'll be the first time we use them too," said Jupiter.
"Solar Chewies?" Po asked with a confused look.
"If you chew one of those, and one only, you'll be able to withstand the extreme conditions in space, heat, cold, radiation, high or low pressure, you can look at the sun even if you're above its surface, and...you can even breathe in space," Saturn explained.
Po and the others were awed, they've never heard of those before. Saturn handed each of them one, they were just plain yellow chewable candies.
"Eat them. They're not harmful," Jupiter told them.
The warriors all shrugged at each other, and then they swallowed them.
"It starts working once you swallow the candy. It'll work for the rest of your Earthling lives," Saturn explained.
"That's...awesome..." Po said in an awed tone.
Jupiter nodded and then he turned back to his minions and said, "Get back to monitoring, we've got a tight schedule. Let's get to the base as soon as possible!"
Jupiter and the others began walking away then Tigress went after Jupiter.
Tigress caught up with him and said, "Wait! You've got to take us back to Earth! We can't..."
Jupiter stopped, looked at her and said, "I know. But we're on a high stake mission. Vulcan's minions are spread all throughout the Solar System in search of the Vulcanism. And we can barely stop anywhere."
"But make time to..."
"I'm sorry, tiger lady. But we have an appointment to keep. We'll not be going back to Earth."
Tigress was horrified, the look on her face told Jupiter something because he said, "Sorry. But we're on the run. You're stuck with us until the Solar System War's over. I don't like it either, but we cannot go back to your planet now."
Then he began walking away again, Tigress collapsed onto her knees again, they're stuck in space until the War ends! Her friends were just as shocked as she was, then Venus came over and helped Tigress up.
"Let's get you comfortable. It's a long ride until we get there," Venus said softly.
Venus lead the shocked warriors into their seats, she served them some Earthling cola and treats, which Po began chowing down on immediately.
"Make yourselves, comfy, I...hope you're not too shocked about this..." Mercury said, trying to make them comfortable.
But they're shocked to their cores, the warriors couldn't believe this Po looked at Tigress and said in a shocked tone, "We...we're on a bigger mission than ever before..."
"I know...such a shocker..." Tigress whispered.
"I don't know what to say..." Vanessa whispered.
Tai Lung couldn't say anything, for they were truly in for a trip of a lifetime.
"Find a way to tell Shifu and their friends they're with us," Jupiter said to Saturn.
"But they..."
"It's better to let them know than to have them search someone when they're not on the planet,
Saturn couldn't disagree with Jupiter, she just had to do what he said.
"Next stop, Solar Base!" Jupiter said.
Tigress and the others sat tight while the rest of the Solar Team continued to monitor for any danger.
A/N: Looks like our warriors, well, four of them, are on an epic journey! Kung Fu Panda in space! Some idea isn't it? :D I hope you enjoyed, and where's the Kaftar anyway? We'll find out! Remember to review! :D
