And the drama begins!


Chapter 14: Emergency Alert

Not long after all of this, in comes Zeng popping out of nowhere and he comes in panicked and exhausted and Shifu runs over to Zeng and he somehow noticed a little scar coming in his left wing and he asked, "Zeng, what happened?"

Zeng pants heavily and he was definitely shaken by what had happened and he said, "Two murderers...almost got me. Both of them almost sliced off my wing."

Kaleo was mortified by hearing this and he could tell that it was his parents' work that was the cause of it and Shifu asked, "Who did this to you?"

"There was a lion and a lioness hiding in one of the forests near the Valley of Peace and I overheard them saying that they're coming for their son in 2 days and they'll murder anyone who gets in the way!" Zeng exclaimed.

All of them were in panic mode and they could tell that they only have 2 days until they get Kaleo and not only that, but they'll start off by murdering anyone in the valley if they interfere and Kaleo definitely feels a huge amount of anxiety coming in and he said, "They're coming for me, aren't they?"

Just then, Zeng turns around and he walks over to the young lion and he said, "I'm afraid so."

Kaleo lets out a heavy sigh and replied, "I knew it. They'll stop at nothing to get rid of me just for going against their tradition."

Tigress went towards Kaleo and she said, "If they get rid of you, they'll have to get through us first."

Kaleo couldn't quite grasp on why they would protect someone that they know for two weeks and didn't expect someone to say it like that and he asked, "Why would you though? You guys barely know me."

"Because loyalty is what we do here in the Jade Palace. We have a sense of unity and we're not just warriors, but we are family." Viper answered.

"We stand together through good and bad...mostly bad, but you get the idea." Monkey added.

"And we will do anything in our power to protect the people we care about, whether if it's someone in the street or whoever. We help out to those in need." Musaki said.

The look in everyone else's faces made Kaleo feel like he could most likely rely on and that they're always there to protect those who are weak and innocent with their strength. He said to them, "I've never had anyone actually stand beside me. Most of them would just run away or have nothing to do with me or care less about me."

Po puts his hand on Kaleo's shoulder and he said, "We help them in any way possible. That's what made us the warriors we are today."

"Students, we have 2 days to prepare, so we need to order everyone in the Valley to evacuate the premises and train as hard as we can until the big battle comes in." Shifu said.

"Yes, master!" they all exclaimed.

"In the meantime...Po, make sure Zeng heads over to the doctor's to see if his wing might need taken care of."

Po walks over to Zeng and carries him towards the doctors and Shifu thought to himself, 'Hang in there, Zeng.'

10 minutes later...

Po, Shifu, Musaki, Kaleo and the Five all headed towards the Valley and soon enough, Musaki brought in his flute and as soon as they assembled, Musaki makes a little bass sound for his flute that's loud enough to hear to garner everyone's attention. The masters were surprised that something like this would come in handy.

"What was that?" asked Tigress, surprisedly.

Musaki turns around and shows her his flute and he replied, "New sound for my flute. Not just for music."

As much as Shifu was impressed with that emergency note Musaki made, he turned his attention to the citizens and said, "Listen, everyone. We've come here to bring you some bad news. We were informed by Zeng that there are two murderers coming in to our valley in 2 days. So you all need to gather your children, gather everything you have and evacuate the Valley immediately. And do not worry about us because we will do what we do best to keep this valley safe."

All the villagers grew concerned and fearful to hear that there might be murderers coming into the Valley and almost immediately, they spread around gathering as much as they needed to escape for their safety and their lives as well. Only 6 minutes passed and as the masters were about to head back to the palace, Mr. Ping walks in with his stuff and ran up to Po and said, "Hurry, son! We must leave at once!"

Po got down to his dad's level and he said, "You go ahead, dad. I'm gonna stay and fight."

It horrified Mr. Ping to see his own panda son fighting two murderers and fears that he might get murdered in the process and he hugged his son tightly and said, "Please, don't do this! I cannot bear to lose you!"

It really broke Po's heart to see his dad clinging onto his only son for dear life and when he saw the first tear rolling down his dad's face, he told him, "Dad, I'll be fine. I'll never leave you behind...I promise."

"The last thing I would want is to see my own son die by a murderer." Mr. Ping sobbed.

Just then, Tigress puts her hand on Po's shoulder and told him, "We gotta get going, Po."

Po turns to his dad and said, "I gotta go. But I promise you that I'll be okay."

Po picks his dad up and hugged him tightly as if it would be the last one ever and whispered, "I love you, dad."

"I love you too, son."

He sets him down and with one last look, Po heads back to the palace and Tigress comes over to Mr. Ping and she said, "Your son will be fine. I'll make sure of that. Right now, it's important of you to think about your own safety."

As Tigress was set to walk away, Mr. Ping puts his wing around her hand and asked, "Can you promise me that you'll keep my boy safe?"

Tigress had a growing effect on Po because she became so close to him and have become friends for a short period of time and ever since the events in Gongmen City, they were much closer than ever and she knows that she would do anything for him and she turns to him and said, "I promise. He'll be fine before you say noodles."

Tigress heads off with the others and Mr. Ping stood there, watching as the others head back to the palace with Po on his mind. But he also knew that the longer he stood, the better chance he might be killed and he sets off with the other villagers to evacuate the Valley.

'Be careful, Po.' Mr. Ping thought.

At the training hall, all eight of the students started a very intense training to prep themselves for a huge battle heading their way and Kaleo planned to go above the extra mile to take his parents down and he showed off his fighting skills he learned and realized that he can only use them for good instead of his parents' expectations.

2 days have passed and both Mai-Yu and Zen were heading their way to the Valley of Peace and they were surprised to see that it's all empty and then as they saw the Jade Palace, they knew that they can find their prey...their son Kaleo.

"We're here, Kaleo...and this time, there's no turning back." Zen said, evilly.


The calm before the storm is brewing!
