Alright! Got another chapter ready to go! I hope you all like it! And also. I do not own this, TOTALLY, AMAZINGLY, SUPER, ROCKEN, AWESOME character. Thunder belongs to Thunderbolt015. I'm hoping that she'll have some stories of her own, some time soon. So be sure to check her out! And here's a quick little explanation about Thunder:
Thunder is a black Jaguar, from the Suafu Valley. He is very close friends with Shadow and her family. And he also has the power over Ice.
So now that everything has been made clear. ON TO THE STORY!
Chapter thirteen: Returning to the Jade Palace
Thunder's POV:
'Man! Why do I always get lost, when I'm looking for the Jade Palace?' I thought, as I pulled my map out once again!
I unfolded it and studied it closely. Then shook my head in frustration. I folded my map back up, shoved it into my red bag, that I always had with me and continued on. I just hoped I was heading in the right direction!
I continued walking on, until I saw my destination. The Valley of Peace. I was finally back home! Well, my second home. But either way, it was still where I belonged. With my family and friends.
It has been so long since I've seen everyone. But I'll never forget my last journey with my Jade Palace family. It had taught me a lot! A lot about my powers. And about who my real friends and family were.
I slowly made my way through town. Seeing so many familiar faces. I smiled. It felt good to be back.
A little while later, I finally reached the bottom of the palace steps.
'Man. Why did they have to make these so steep?' I thought, as I slowly began to climb them.
I finally reached the top. And like always; I was out of breath! I fell down on my knees and tried to catch my breath. I panting hard, but that was normal, after a climb like that.
"Hey, are you okay?"
I looked up to see a White Tiger walk out. She had a towel wrapped around her shoulders and her fur was sticking out. Like she had just dried off.
I smiled. "Shadow!" I cried happily.
She cocked her head to the side, confused.
Then she shook it and smiled. "Man, she wasn't kidding, when she said we could be twins!" the White Tiger said.
I looked at her, very confused. I was sure that she was Shadow.
"Hey, Rose! Have you seen-"
I looked up and saw Shadow standing there. A shocked smile upon her face, as she stared at me.
"Thunder!" she cried happily.
I jumped to my feet and she ran over and hugged me. I smiled, it was so good to see her again. I pulled away from her, only to be tackled by Silver and Blaze.
"Hey, bro! Where've ya been?" Silver asked quickly.
"Yeah! We've missed you!" Blaze added.
I laughed. I loved these kids. And they had grown so much since my last trip here! Then I looked up and smiled, when I saw Leon walk out. Silver and Blaze crawled off me and smiled.
"Thunder! It's been way to long!" Leon said, as he grabbed my paw and pulled me to my feet.
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah. But it sure is good to be home!" I said.
Then I looked over at the White Tiger, whom I thought was Shadow at first. Shadow quickly walked over to her, grabbing her arm and pulling her over to where we were standing.
"Thunder. I'd like you to meet our new friend and family member, Rose!" she said.
Rose quickly bowed to me. "It's an honor to meet such a great Master!" she said.
I was shocked. I knew I was pretty good at Kung Fu. But I didn't think anyone thought of me as a Master! I quickly bowed in return.
"Any friend of Shadow's, is a friend of mine!" I said.
Rose smiled at me. Then Master Shifu walked out.
"Ah, Thunder! On time as always." he said, in a joking tone of voice.
"I came as soon as I got your message!" I said.
Shadow looked at Master Shifu funny. "You called for Thunder?" she asked.
He nodded. "Come. There is something I must discuss with all of you. Rose. Would you please go fetch, Hutch, Tony and Bran'ika?" he asked.
She nodded and ran off. Then Master Shifu turned and walked off. I followed him and the others into the Hall of Heroes. Rose soon returned, with a Hawk, Tiger, and a White Tiger who had a very strange coat pattern.
"I'm sure you're all wondering why I have called, Thunder here!" Master Shifu said.
Everyone nodded. Even me! Master Shifu didn't say anything in his message. Just to get here ASAP!
"Well. Because of Thunder's powers. He is also one of the Elementals!" Master Shifu said.
I stopped and stared at him in shock. "Wait. I'm a what?" I asked, still in shock.
Master Shifu nodded. "Rose and her friends here are from a place very far from here! She comes here as the Elemental Leader! And you all, are the Elementals! You are destined to stop an evil uprising, that is soon to come!" he explained.
I still couldn't believe it. I figured I was just to help with some little problem. Not a whole, 'evil uprising'!
"Now then. We must assign you each a Master, to teach you about your powers. Hutch. Your Master is Leon! Shadow is Rose'. Tony. I will be your Master. And Bran'ika..." Master Shifu said, as he looked over at me. "Your Master is Thunder!"
I froze in place. I couldn't believe it. I was a Master!
"You all may have the rest of the day to yourselves. Go and have some fun. Your training begins tomorrow!" Master Shifu said.
We all bowed thankfully. Then he turned and left.
After he was out of hearing range. I asked, "Ok. Could someone explain all this to me, again?"
I was still very confused about everything that I had just learned.
Shadow laughed. "Come on. I'll explain it over some lunch! Who else is coming?" she asked.
Everyone, but Rose and her friends, piped up.
"If it's alright, I'm going to show the boys around!" Rose said.
Shadow nodded once. Then Rose and her friends ran off towards the Training Hall.
Shadow and her family smiled at me, then we all dropped to the ground and headed to the Noodle Shop.
'Well. It looks like I'm off on another wild adventure, with my Jade Palace family!' I thought happily, as I chased after my friends…
Alright! So ends the next chapter! I hope you all liked it and yeah. Next chapter, we'll FINALLY find out what, Bran'ika, Tony and Hutch look like! So yeah. Be sure to check back soon for more and please don't forget to review!
