Hey everyone! Now that you guys know about Overlord's past and what drove him to where he is now, on to more action and mystery!

Here's the new chapter…

*With Tang*

After a little bit of rest, Tang decided to get up and check on his dad to see what he was doing. He got up and lumbered over to his parent's room, but hesitated from opening the door when he heard Po and Tigress whispering to each other.

"What? I thought that the assassin was dead!" Tigress hissed.

"So did I, but apparently not. Unless she came back as a ghost, which could be an option..."

"Po!"

"... Then she's working for someone new now. Probably the guy who attacked you today or at least works with them." The master of the Jade Palace explained. "I also found these on the inside of the mask."

After a pause Tigress spoke. "Black hairs? That proves it then! The assassin is still alive! Wait until I get my paws on that…Tang? Go back to your room."

Tang paled. "H-how did you know I was here?"

"Cats have great hearing, remember? Now go lie down and rest your leg or you'll have double the intensity on your training tomorrow." His mother replied.

The young panda quickly rushed back to his room and jumped in bed. He didn't realize how tired he was until his eyelids started t droop and he fell asleep.

*With Xin*

The snow leopard was training with high ferocity in the training room provided by Overlord. Despite being dark and smelly, Xin was actually enjoying the room and the equipment. It was a good outlet for his anger.

He approached a wooden dummy and envisioned Tang's face on it. Being beaten by the young, fat panda was not going to happen a second time. The snow leopard began to punch and kick the dummy with force. As flashbacks from his past shot through his mind, each hit became stronger and stronger. Cracks started to form in the wooden figure until Xin delivered the final blow, knocking the head of the dummy off.

After catching his breath, Xin heard someone behind him. He turned to face the assassin that Overlord had brought onto his team.

"If you want a real challenge, then you'll spar with me. It'll prepare you better than something that can't fight back." The woman purred.

"No weapons?" The snow leopard asked.

"You take the fun out of everything. Deal." The assailant replied, shedding the staff and kunai, as well as her dagger.

Both got into their fighting stance. After a short pause, Xin rushed his opponent. He kicked and punched as hard as he could at the assassin, but she blocked every attack and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into a wall. Xin regained his balance and prepared to defend himself. The attacker charged him and started bombarding him with punches and kicks, but quickly pinned Xin when she pulled out a hidden dagger and held it to his throat.

"Hey! We agreed to no weapons!" The snow leopard shot.

"Do you honestly think that the boy will fight fairly? Let me enlighten you on something. He is more like his moron of a father than you think. The Dragon Warrior, back when he was fighting your father, used his surroundings and anything he could to fight Tai Lung. That is why he defeated your dad. When Tai Lung was already beaten, the panda could have easily arrested him and thrown him back in jail, but no! The Dragon Warrior had to kill him with the Wushi finger hold!" The woman explained.

Xin grew furious and quickly batted the blade away from him before using both of his feet to kick the assassin across the room. The lady hit the wall hard, but shrugged it off quickly.

"I don't fight fair either." Xin snarled before his hands became engulfed in blue fire and he rushed his opponent.

*With Po, in his dream*

After a while, the panda fell asleep in his bed.

Po had a dream then; a dream that he was standing outside of the kung-fu headquarters alone.

"Hello? Anyone here?" The panda called out, but received no reply.

He looked around and noticed a bowl of dumplings sitting on a pedestal in the courtyard of the headquarters building. Po made over it and rushed over to eat the whole thing, but was stopped when someone hiding from behind the door kicked him. The Dragon Warrior rolled across the ground and slowly got up to face his attacker.

"You…" He whispered.

"Yes, me." Sage stated, stepping towards the panda. "Hello again, Dragon Warrior. Guys, let's say hi to our old friend!"

From out of the shadows of the courtyard, Tai Lung, Shen, and Emperor Jow stepped out into the light.

"Hello, panda! We meet again!" Shen stated, walking up to Po with a smirk.

"Dragon Warrior, if that's what you still call yourself, it's nice to see you again, old chum!" Tai Lung jeered before kicking Po in the chin.

"Remember me?" Emperor Jow asked. "I'm the Japanese emperor that you let die to save China! You killed me so I wouldn't continue to attack your country!"

Emperor Jow was the previous Emperor of Japan many years ago. He had turned Tigress against Po and the others for a brief amount of time, tortured Kiro, killed his own son, and almost obliterated China with his army.

"What do you all want? You're all supposed to be dead!" Po exclaimed.

"Exactly! We're all dead because of YOU!" Tai Lung hissed.

"We're here to deliver a message." Sage replied smugly. "You will find those you care about in suffering greater than you could ever imagine. All of those close to you will become targets, and it will be up to your son to save them. However, he cannot and will not be able to save them all."

"Side by side your students will fight; using their skills and all of their might. But when they enter Overlord's domain, all will fall and one will remain." Tai Lung stated before kicking the panda.

Then, Po blacked out.

*End of dream*

Po shot out of bed in terror. He was shaking all over, his heart was racing, and sweat was trickling down his face.

What a nightmare. It seemed so real. Snap out of it, Po! It was just a bad dream is all. The Dragoon Warrior thought before sighing and going back to sleep.

*With Kiro, in his subconscious*

"Okay, what's the deal? Where's Song, Los, and Sashi like usual?" The white tiger asked, looking around.

He was standing in the typical grassy field surrounded by white light in the afterlife; however, he wasn't dead.

"I wanted to speak with you, Kiro." A red panda stated, stepping out from the light.

"Master Shifu! You haven't aged a bit! How long has it been, twenty years?" Kiro exclaimed, giving the master a hug.

Shifu grunted uncomfortably and pushed away from the joyful tiger. "It is nice to see you as well. What I wanted to speak to you about is about your last major mission. Do you recall the battle between the Japanese emperor's army and Tigress?"

"Of course! How could I forget that? Forever burned into my kitty skull!"

"So you do recall…the one who blinded you."

"Zina? Yeah, I remember that black tiger. Tortured the heck outa me. Some cousin she was…"

"Do you recall when you defeated her?" Shifu pried.

"Sure do! Wacked her high into the sky with a giant mallet I summoned up! Best feeling ever! But she died from the impact to the ground. Why are you asking me all of this?"

"Because, Kiro…" Master Shifu stated, "…Zina is still very much alive. And she wants blood."
