Chapter 23: King Oai
We cut to Hiccup still carrying Astrid until a minute later, Astrid gets off of Hiccup and walked to see a big hole in the ground. "What a big hole", said Astrid and she and Hiccup turned around to see nothing except the dead bodies of the panther army. "Where's Po and the others?", asked Astrid. "Oh, no", said Hiccup, "I bet they're hurt or... dead." Hiccup and Astrid then run to find the others only to find Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut and Ruffnut, Stoick and Goober alive but received cuts during the battle. "Dad, Goober", said Hiccup, "You're alright." "Have you seen Po and the others, Stoick, sir?", asked Astrid. "No, I'm afraid I haven't", said Stoick.
"The last time we saw them they were watching Po and Tai Lung defeat the whole army in just one punch from their techniques", said Goober. "It can't be", said Hiccup and runs off to find the others, but lost hope and shouted, "PO! TAI LUNG! GUYS! WHERE ARE YOU?" Suddenly, as Hiccup is about to slump down, he hears a growling noise from not too far away from him. That growl came from a familiar voice, "We're here, Hiccup" and as the young viking turns around, it happens to be Tigress along with Po, the rest of the kung fu masters as well along with Zhong and the other wolves.
The young viking could not believe his eyes. The others have survived the battle against the panther and with that, they have won. "We did it, you guys", said Po, "We've won." "I'm so glad you guys are alright", said Hiccup and ran to the others before hugging them, "But, where's Toothless." Then, suddenly, the Night Fury appears and cuddles Hiccup in the chin with his head. "Oh, buddy", said Hiccup, "You're alright, too." "Where's Oai and the others?", asked Po, "Were they with us as well?" "They attacked the panther army before we had the chance to finish them off", said Tai Lung, "Let's hope they made it out alright."
Suddenly, they hear a voice. "You bet we did", said the voice and it happens to be Saiku and there came a shadow figure that happens to be Oai's. "Oai", said Po and Oai jumps onto the ground before walking to where the others are at and hugged them. "Did we won?", asked Oai. "You bet we did", said Hiccup and the viking and the panther hugged each other before Fael appears. "You have done well, young vikings and masters", said Fael, "With the war over, the reign of the panther is no more. However can I repay you?" "You don't have to", said Hiccup, "All we have is friendship and that's what really matters. Right, guys?" "Right", said Monkey.
"You said it", said Mantis. "I'm with you, buddy", said Snotlout. "What are we gonna do now?", asked Po, "Should we head back to the Jade Palace or something?" "Actually, there's one thing we have to do first", said Oai. "Like what?", asked Hiccup. Oai grins at Hiccup happily and we cut to Rozelle's kingdom where we see dozens of panthers cheering upon Oai's return along with the congratulations to the vikings and the kung fu masters since Rozelle is no more. Later, we cut to the balcony of the kingdom where Oai, after gaining the crown, makes a speech.
"Citizens", said Oai, "It has been three days since Rozelle was killed and his death was because he had spread fear, hate, greed, and distrust to all of you. I, for one, am the opposite of Rozelle. I am kind, brave, and loyal to my friends, especially the kung fu masters and the young vikings as well." He turns to the others and Tai Lung says, "Keep going." Oai then continues. "It is my honor of being the king and take over Rozelle's throne. I will not turn evil the same way my uncle did. The reason why is that I want for all of us to rebuild this world so that we can live in the days of peace."
The people of Rozelle's (now Oai's) palace understand this and clapped their hands in applause. "Thank you, dear Oai", said the panther villager #7. "Now, we won't be able to deal with Rozelle ever again", said the panther villager #6. Oai smiles and turns to the others again before walking to them and hugs them in the process. "Thank you, kung fu masters", said Oai, "I am forever in your debt." The kung fu masters bowed respectfully to Oai and the panther ruler turns to the vikings, "As is yours, vikings." The vikings bowed respectfully, but Oai raises his hand.
"You don't need to bow to me for it is I who will bow to all of you for your bravery and courage", said Oai and turns to the kung fu masters and walks towards Po. "Thank you, Po", said Oai, "For what you have done to help me succeed in my quest to restore peace to the palace, I will give you a gift so rare it will forever be in your honor." The panther goes to the medal room where he finds a golden medal that his father use to wore before Rozelle killed him. He takes it from the room and later returns to where the others are at and gives the medal to Po. "Thank you, Oai", said Po, "I... I don't know what to say." "You can say anything you like, Po", said Oai.
"Alright", said Po, "Then I think that this medal is... AWESOME!" Then, everyone chuckles for a while before Zhong goes to Tigress to ask her something. "Um, Tigress", said Zhong. "Yes, Zhong?", asked Tigress. "Can you um...", said Zhong and goes on four legs before taking out his tongue, reminding Tigress the day she promised that she could cuddle him once the battle was over. "Alright", said Tigress and cuddles the wolf so softly, causing Zhong to lick her in the process. Everyone laughs their heads off. Later that night, we see Oai looking at the beautiful blue sky on the balcony, thinking that the stars could one minute resemble his father.
It did nearly 10 seconds later and we see Hiccup walking to Oai. "Oai", said Hiccup, "what are you doing?" "I was uh...", said Oai, "looking at the stars that just showed my..." "Father?", guessed Hiccup. "Yes", said Oai. "I bet he's still there right now looking over you from heaven, is he?", asked Hiccup. "Yes", said Oai, "I wish I would've been there so I can get the chance to see him again." One day, you will", said Hiccup. "And if hadn't been for you and the others, I would have done the whole thing by myself, but with you guys on my side, I am forever grateful. Thank you, Hiccup." He bows respectfully to Hiccup and gives the young viking another gold medal.
"Why, Oai", said Hiccup, "Thank you." "You are most welcome, Hiccup", said Oai and Hiccup smiles at him before he and the panther ruler hugged each other.
I'll try to update tomorrow, I promise.
