Me: WELCOME ONE AND ALL T-

Fury: Do you need to be yelling like that?

Me: No. But I want to.

Iron Fist: Welcome to the newest chapter.

Me: Aww. I was wanting to say that. Only louder.

Fury: Thank you, Iron Fist for doing that.

Iron Fist: You are quite welcome.

Me: Does no one here like me? Is that why you are so against what I like?

Fury: No. We just don't like you being loud.

Iron Fist: Enjoy the chapter.

The rhino grinned at what he had heard form his spy. He leaned back in his throne, which had actually had part of the back broken off from DB's attack. "So. They will be waiting for me. Interesting." He chuckled slightly. "The emperor is also with them. This. This is perfect." He turned his head to the left and asked a soldier, "How long before the recruits are ready for battle?"

"Two days, sir."

"We will leave in two days. They won't be ready for such a massive army."

Jade Palace

Everyone had wide eyes. Everyone except Matthew. Matthew had a smirk. DB asked what was on everyone's mind. "Why is the entire army from your country here?"

"It isn't the entire army. Just the ones that have been in it for fifteen years or more. They were coming here for vacation. But, i was told they would be able to help us if we needed it, which is why they are here. Also, Chee-lo is here."

DB's face lit up. "Really!? Where!?"

"Behind you." DB jumped and almost fell down the steps, but Chee-lo caught him. "Man you're jumpy."

DB had a smile on his face. "Yes. I know. It's great to see you. Why are you here with them?"

"Well, none of them new how to get here, so I led them here." DB nodded. "So, can I have the room I had when I stayed here last time?"

"Of course. No one is staying in it and it has stayed clean."

"Thank you, Master Shifu."

DB then hooked his arm around Chee-lo's neck. "We have some catching up to do. Be right back." DB fell through a portal.

Chee-lo turned towards the five villains. "Sooo. You guys are enemies of DB?" They all nodded. "So, why are you guys here and not in prison?"

Diablo answered, "We are currently injured, rescued from a crazy rhino. We will leave as soon as we can, so as to avoid arrest."

Before Chee-lo could respond to that, DB came through a portal, onto his face, as usual. He stood up, showing he had woks. "Come on! Best way to start out."

"Wait. Wha-" He was cut off by DB putting him on a wok and pushing him down before following. Chee-lo screamed all the way down. When they got to the bottom, Chee-lo stood up and turned to DB. "Next time. Warn me."

"It isn't fun that way." Chee-lo rolled his eyes as they walked off. "Anyways, while we are hanging out, Matthew is going to be informing the army on the entire situation and what part they will play. You will be with the army. That's where you would be most benificial."

"Got it. So, what do you have planned?"

"Who said anything about having a plan. We're just gonna get stupid while telling how our lives are going." Chee-lo groaned as he followed DB through the town.

Castle

The rhino was standing on a balcony while watching his soldiers train. He looked, first towards those in hand-to-hand combat. Then, those that were practicing with swords. And finally, those with bow and arrows. "Marvelous, is it not?"

The sodier standing to his right nodded. "Yes. It is. Your army will be in peak condition when it comes time to head for this Valley of Peace."

The rhino nodded. "Yes. Such a pity that a town with that name will become nothing more than ruble. Oh well. All great victories come with sacrifice."

"Yes, they do sir. Would you like for me to get you anything?"

The rhino nodded. "Yes. Get me the alligator recruit I pointed out to you when we were watching them."

The soldier saluted. "Yes sir." he then walked off, as the rhino continued watching.

Outside the Valley of Peace

Matthew was with both armies. "Alright. I know that, right now, you guys don't really know each other. Or will get to know each other. But, you will be staying with each other until we are ready to fight, just so you can get to trusting one another." They all nodded. "You will all be getting up together, eating together, sleeping together, and training together. So, make sure you have room for each other. I'll be back in a few hours to see how you are all getting along." He then began leaving, and both armies began to mingle with each other.

Jade Palace

The emperor was in the kitchen with Shifu, Diablo, and Su. They were looking at a map that the emperor was pointing at places with a stick. "I've sent a messenger to get the soldiers to leave this area open for him to come straight through. They were ordered to come here, to the Valley pf Peace. They will help evacuate the town when they get here. The villagers will be heading to this town here. Any questions?"

"Si." Everyone turned to Diablo. "Why not just evacuate the villagers now?"

"It will be easier with the Imperial army. If a different army were to try to help with evacuation, it would create uneasyness, Especially if the army is under a villain."

Shifu cleared his throat. "So. Once they are all out of the valley, what will we be doing here?"

"We will be making sure to keep it clean and to allow the soldiers to get used to the layout so they can have the advantage of knowing where every road leads, helpful for ambushes and for setting up archers." They all nodded. "Su. Do you still have connections in the criminal underworld?"

"Only a few, but even they are uneasy around me now. Why?"

"I was hoping you could get some bandits to help with this."

"I don't have that kind of influence anymore."

"What about you, Diablo?"

"none of them really know any of us."

The emperor nodded. "Alright. We will deal with what we have. Would of been nice to have more soldiers."

Shifu replied, "We could ask some more masters to come here."

The emperor shook his head. "We can't risk losing more masters than necessary." Shifu nodded.

Castle

The rhino put on his armor and looked at himself in the mirror. "Perfect for taking over a country." He took out his sword and admired it. "Perfect reflection. Best way for an enemy to see themselves before their demise."

"Sir."

"What is it?" He never turned to who entered.

"We have a tresspasser wishing to talk with you. He is in the throne room."

"Alright. I'll talk to him in a minute." He heard the messenger salute and leave

After a few minutes, he appeared in the throne room without his armor on. The tresspasser was a female wolf with a black cloak on. The hood was off ans she smiled when he entered. "Ah. So nice to finally meet you face to face."

The rhino smirked. "Why, thank you. Who might you be and why did you wish to speak to me?"

She simply smiled. "I was sent by my boss. He wishes you luck with your quest. You will need it."

The rhino rose an eyebrow. "Who is your boss and how does he even know what I'm trying to do?"

The wolf chuckled. "Well, my boss does not wish for you to know his name, only to tell you that he has fought the residence of the Jade Palace before. He knows how tough they are. Now, as to how he knows what you are trying to do, all he wants yo say is that he has eyes everywhere. He also says, if you fail, he will allow you a position in his army. The same level as me. He knows you deserve that much."

"If I do succeed?"

"He wishes an alliance with you."

"I would have to meet him face to face for that."

"He knows. He will come to you after the battle. Good bye." The wolf began walking out, but stopped at the door. "Also, if you wish to know more about who my boss is, ask DB about his most difficult enemy he'se ever faced." With that, she left. The rhino was left confused, but he shook his head and went back to preparing.

Valley of Peace

DB and Chee-lo were strapped to two chairs. "ARE YOU INSANE!?"

DB nodded. "I am. But, I did this once before and lived." With that, the chairs took off, Chee-lo screaming all the way. DB yelled over the screaming, "SO!? HOW'S YOUR NEW JOB GOING!?

Chee-lo's only response was, "WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE ARE SO DEAD! WE! ARE! GONNA! DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

DB chuckled at htat just as the fireworks exploded.

With the armies

Matthew and Mastermind watched as they all trained with each other. "They are getting along really well together."

"Yes they are. Who knew that a countries army could mingle with a rag-tag group of bandit soldiers without them killing each other?"

"We still have a few days before we know for sure they'll be able to fight alongside one another. And, there is still time for them to turn on one another." Mastermind shrugged at Matthew's statement. "I am actually surprised you and I haven't started fighting one another."

"Well, we have similar goals for the moment. So, of course we would."

Jade Palace, emperor's room

The emperor looked at his armor, which was mounted up in the corner. "Soon. He will finally no longer be a problem."

Castle, two days later

The rhino was standing in front of his army. "Today, we start the journey towards the Jade Palace. We will finally show the emperor who should be in charge. All of you that survive will be rewarded accordingly. Each of you that die, you will die knowing you helped to show who is the best." They began giving affirmitive shouts. "Today is the first step to getting what we deserve, so let's head towards China, and show them we are the best!" He turned and they all began following him.

Unbeknownst to them, the female wolf from before was watching from the top of the castle. She smiled. "His soldiers do follow him as well as my boss said. That will be useful if any of them survive with him." She left through an orange portal.

Jade Palace

The warriors were all training, along with the emperor. DB had picked the partners, and it seemed that it was working well. Except for him. He was training with Diablo, who constantly tried killing him, but was unsuccessful, due to his injuries.

Chee-lo was watching over the training of the soldiers, making sure ti was going smoothly, as it was.

The next day

The valley was being evacuated. The villagers were all moving along with whatever they were bringing with them. The emperor was standing at the top of the steps with Wan. "Is he goign to be coming out?"

Wan shook her head. "No. He's staying today. I fear we won't be having him to help us when the time comes." The emperor sighed in understanding. "This is going to be a difficult battle for us if he isn't coming to help."

"I know."

The next day

A messenger came running into the kitchen. "The rhino's army is near by. They are one day away from here."

Informant sighed. "This is just great. DB is going to be stuck in his room the day he attacks. Tomorrow is when you do not want to try to get him out of his room. I learned the hard way about that." They all nodded. "hopefully we will not need him for the battle. Though, we should all get ready." He drank all of his soup after that. "Alright. Let's get to it."

Me: Well, this was just an inbetween chapter before the fight. Next chapter will at least start the final battle. Not sure it will be the end of the final battle.

Fury: Why couldn't you plan for it to be one way or the other?

Me: I don't have it planned until the day I write it. Even then, I'm not sure how long it's going to be.

Iron Fist: Poor planning leads to poor writing.

Me: The audience doesn't seem to think so. I mean, I always have poor planning. Doesn't seem the audience belives it is poor writing.

Iron Fist: Reviews may prove otherwise.

Me: Yes. So, review. show Iron Fist how wrong he is.
