Jade Palace
*Cough* Cough*
Po awoke unexpectedly because of the spasm. He blinked a few times so his eyes could adjust to the light in the badly lit cell. His vision was still fuzzy from the smoke and his lungs burned. He saw someone standing in the center of the room.
"How do you feel Dragon Warrior?"
"Like a million yuan. Wait, Master Shifu?"
"No, Master Kenji. Ha! That sounds pretty good."
"Ugh, where am I?"
"In the Jade Palace catacombs of course, you'll be staying here for the rest of your life." The jaguar cackled.
Po looked around when his eyes finally focused, his friends and master were all scattered along the square stone cell still unconscious. One person was missing however, Tigress.
"Where is she!?"
"Who?"
"TIGRESS!"
"Oh the tiger, yes. My captain has taken an interest in her so I decided to reward him with a little gift for destroying the Valley of Peace."
"You wouldn't!"
"I would and did."
Po lunged at Kenji but his fists were stopped by two shackles chained to the wall.
"Hey! You ****! Look at me, look me in the ****ing eye! I call the shots here. Sit the **** down! Or she dies." Po quickly obeyed. His eyes were now bloodshot and the pupils had grown smaller. This guy wasn't messing around. "Don't worry about her, my captain knows how to please a woman. What you should be concerned about is how your going to save China and the Emperor from this cell. With you out of the way taking over China should be a piece of cake." Po growled, he was going to tear that jaguar apart limb from limb.
Tigress, Valley of Peace Outskirts
She thrashed around on the floor of the tent but it was no use, the ropes that bound her hands and feet were too strong. Li Xiang kneeled beside her and stroked her face.
"You know, I've never seen another tiger as beautiful as you."
"Stay away from me!"
"I know we got off on the wrong foot when we met but let me make it up to you. Lets have a little fun together."
Tigress snarled.
"Don't be like that, I'm all about having a good time." He smiled in a naughty way.
The feline watched in horror as the white tiger began to undo her vest.
"No STOP! What are you doing!?" She struggled to get free but the Li held her down with one arm while the other was doing the dirty work. Tigress spit in his face just as he was about to undo the last clasp, making him stumble backwards.
"Ack! You stupid *****! I can go kill your friends if you want or we can do this instead. Your choice." Tigress stopped her squirming and laid still on the floor. For the first time in her life she was scared. "Good kitty." He started to move his hands down towards the last clasp when Kenji walked in.
"Li stop screwing around with her, its time to begin phase 2 of the plan."
Xiang got up and marched over to his commander at attention briefly before leaving. Tigress breathed a sigh of relief. She had to figure out a way to get out of these ropes.
With Li Xiang
Li walked around the small temporary camp they were in with his commander.
"With phase one complete we can begin the next step in my plan."
"Yes sir and that would be?"
Kenji pulled a map out of his sash and opened it pointing out several provinces in China to him.
"First we must take over the rest of the Haijin province, from there we move on to the Xinjiang province, then over to Gānsù, Húběi, Anhui, and finally the Shànghǎi province which is where the Emperor's Palace is located. Along the way we will recruit others and prepare for the final third phase."
Catacombs
Hours had passed since Kenji left and the Five and Shifu had woken up, they weren't happy.
"My daughter is being raped as we speak! I will rip the flesh from that bastard's bones!"
"Wow, were going to die in our own home." Mantis wasn't making things any better.
"Calm down everyone, we need to relax." Viper somehow managed to keep cool.
"RELAX!? How can we relax after everything that just happened!?" Monkey sat on the floor and moped.
"Don't yell at her like that!" Crane was starting to get defensive. Everyone joined in on the arguing, Po watched from the sidelines.
"BE QUIET!" The Dragon Warrior's voice echoed off of the cell walls, everyone stopped talking to listen. When Po spoke usually it was nonsense but in a serious situation he knew what to do. "Vipers right guys we need to calm down, yelling and freaking out isn't going to help us get out of here. We need to work together. Master what do you think?"
Shifu thought for a moment and then snapped his fingers.
"The key! I always carry it in my robe, we can use that to get out of here. If I could just reach it. We need to get the shackles off."
"No problem! I'll take care of the shackles." Po got up from the floor up then moved forward 3 feet which was as far as he could go with the restraints. He jumped like he was doing a frontflip but shortly into the spin Po placed his feet onto the wall behind him and applied pressure so he could stay suspended on the wall. Now parallel to the floor he groaned as he called upon every iota of strength in his body and pushed against the cell wall with his legs. The spot where chains met wall was weakening, small crumbs of stone fell to the floor as he fought to unchain himself. Everyone watched in amazement as the chains broke off the wall taking a few chunks of it with them. He chopped off the shackles from his wrist and soon The Five and Shifu were free as well.
"Great job Po!" Crane gave him a pat on the back.
"Very resourceful panda, you have come far in your training."
"Thanks Master!"
Shifu unlocked the cell door and all of them began running down to the village. Was there even a village left?
Phew, managed to get it done! Hope you enjoyed reading the chapter and if you can let me know what you think of it, feedback helps me write better!
