Oh boy, another Linkin Park song. But! That is ok because everyone loves Linkin Park and they are awesome! (Don't disagree with me because I'll have to throw you through a wall. JKJK lol). I am super sorry I haven't been able to update on a timely manner, you can thank college for that. And if you have just started reading these song-fics, (Start) is when to start the song if you happen to want to listen to the song while you read.
So far the list I have goes as is:
dizzyizzy9000, 'Tell Me That You Love Me' By: Victoria Justice
Shen's General 'Hero' By: Skillet
Simba593 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' By: Elton John
Empty
Empty
P.S. I also do not to any Tai-Lung & Tigress (Ew) or Song & Po (big 'NO' there), so my song-fics will always end with Po and Tigress together.
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters or ideas from Kung-Fu Panda. I also do not own any songs or lyrics by Linkin Park. However, I do own my OC's and song-fic ideas.
Enough talk, let's read/sing! (I don't judge.)
"Why aren't we firing?" yelled a peacock in disbelief.
"They are taking out our gunners!" Wolf Boss was in a bit of a panic.
"F-fire!"
"But sir, we'll kill our own." said an astonished wolf.
"I said fire! Now fire!" Shen yelled.
Wolf Boss thought for a moment even if it didn't feel like it, the world stopped for a second. The wolf thought why he would want to blow half of his army away, for this man's greed? Hell no.
"No." The Wolf Boss replied to the stunned peacock.
Shen didn't think twice about throwing that knife into Wolf Boss' neck and the wolf never saw it coming. As he fell over the side of the boat, he heard the cannon fire and saw the blast of the ball tarring its way through boats, bridges, and… his men.
When he felt the cool, wet, and relaxing feel of the water he let his mind drift. Though he was unsure if it was drifting because he was finally out of the hell he once called Shen's Army or that he was on the verge of dying. His eyes slowly closed, letting a warm light lull him into a deep sleep.
Wolf Boss' Dream
He opened his eyes to see a field of rice flowing in the wind. It was peaceful. There was no one else that the wolf could see and the sight seemed to roll on for miles. The same gentle wind made him look in the direction it was coming from and saw something he thought he would never see again: His wife and son standing next to each other.
Wolf Boss began to run towards them, but no matter how fast or hard he tried to reach them though they still felt out of reach.
"Stop trying my love." The female spoke slowly.
"Yeah dad, stop trying." The small child repeated his mother.
"What?" was all the Wolf Boss could reply.
"You will see us soon enough. You still have much life to play out." The female wolf walked closer to her stunned husband. "Though you will have to live it with out us, you can do it. I believe in you."
The Wolf Boss reached out to grab her hand and she let him. "I know I must, but where do I go?
"You will go where ever your heart desires and your mind sets its sights on, and most of all you will return to where you belong. Let it go, my love." The angelic like wolf kissed the side of his cheek and slowly moved back beside their son.
Wolf Boss' eyes started to well up, then he heard his son say, "Don't be said dad. We will see each other again and I will be right her with mom, waiting." And his son and wife smiled at him.
The next thing the wolf knew, they burst into flames. Just like they did inside their house in the event that drove him into Shen's Army. The fire grew bigger and brighter until it consumed all of his senses, then…
He coughed violently as he awoke, still in the water. He felt hot and blinded by the morning sun, and looking over to his side he saw Shen's flagship destroyed. It was on fire and he could definitely feel the heat coming from the wreckage. The wolf soon swam to shore, tired and exhausted, he crumpled to the ground. What would he do now? The first thought that came to his mind: Leave. So he did.
SIX MONTHS LATER…
Wolf Boss' travels had taken him around the country and to many remote places. He was searching for himself and to change his ways, but was still convinced he wasn't going to change, couldn't change.
His line of travel was going to lead him right through the heart of the area that held significance to him. Gongmen harbor. He arrived later that day and he was getting closer to the dreaded place he swore he would never go back to, but it was his quickest route and he didn't want to waste time.
When he turned the corner the memories flooded in.
(START)
The Wolf Boss fell to his knees, unable to take it all in. The flagship of Shen's still sat in the harbor, half-sunk as a monument to what happened that day. A sculpture of the Furious Five, Dragon Warrior, Shifu, Master Ox, and Master Croc were perched on the tip.
'Why did this have to happen?' he thought, 'I could have stopped this'
When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
With the cataclysm raining down
Your insides crying "Save me now"
You were there, impossibly alone.
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failures all you've known.
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go.
Let it go.
The Wolf Boss keep looking at the harbor and how so many lives were lost that day, and most of the time he stood by and watched it happen. The karma had finally caught up to him though, that night when Shen through the knife at him. That was his punishment for not standing up and doing something about it before this… this massacre had taken place.
Tears were knocking at the front door of the wolf's eyes and he fought with every inch of his being to not let them fall.
And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
With no one there to catch you in their arms.
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failures all you've known.
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go.
Let it go.
Those tears were now falling his face freely. Wolf Boss turned on his heels and ran through the streets with the tears matting his fur. He didn't care if the townspeople looked or laughed at him. At some point he thought he heard the crowd singing.
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?

Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.

Let it go.
After he had run far from the harbor and the busy markets of Gongmen City, he came across a small stream running through it. The Wolf Boss leaned down to look into the water and only saw a monster. Wolf Boss roared and smacked the water sending his reflection everywhere, even on himself.
The wolf ripped off his armor in anger and threw it on the ground. He noticed the mark that Shen's knife had left on the shoulder plate near his neck. The mark brought back the memories that he resented so much. No. No longer will he sit back and take this punishment. Wolf Boss picked up his discarded armor and slowly stood up, and turned towards the stream.
Looking down at his armor for a brief second, he thought of how Shen had caused all of his grief and anger. It was Shen's fault for turning him into a monster and letting him hurt all of those people… and himself. But no more will he hurt his mind.
With a large heave, the wolf threw the armored articles down the stream. Some of the pieces floated and others sank, but one thing remained the same: He was free at last. A great pressure was lifted from his shoulders, he could finally smile again.
"The new life begins now…" Wolf Boss whispered into the cool evening air and turned to walk to a new life.
Where he went no one knew. Some say he wandered China in search of a new home, others believed he built himself a new life in Gongmen City, and most said he returned to the village he grew up in and where his wife and child perished in a fire.
Wherever he remained in the world, he did one thing that fateful night: He let it all go.
Good ending or bad? I hoped you all liked it! Especially you Animation Universe 2005. Thanks to all who have reviewed my song-fics it keeps me moving forward. Please review and Stay Frosty!
