Alright, guys, the fight with Lord Zhan Ju continues! Wish your heroes good luck!

"M-Master Yoshi?! W-What are you doing here?!" Toka asked in disbelief after putting Po down on the ground.

"Well, the future of our realm is on the line. That seems enough of a reason to come here and assist my students and their friends, isn't it?" He then looked less happily at him. "What just happened? He was about to destroy everything and kill everyone and you just stood there instead of using your Phoenix Warrior powers to stop him. Why?"

Toka looked down in shame. "S-Sorry, Master. I-I was paralyzed by fear. Guess I'm just a coward..."

"You'll apologize later. For now, help your wounded friends." He instructed as Zhan Ju came flying back down on the ground.

"So you are the famous Master Yoshi I've heard so much about?"

The bear smirked. "Himself. And you are the feather bag who's been causing nothing but trouble in our world for the last months? I must say you look more impressive than I expected. Though appearance is only secondary."

Zhan Ju simply scoffed and dashed toward the bear who blocked his upcoming kick and knocked him away with a strong punch that sent him crash into a building. He stood up and dusted himself off. "I didn't expected you to see this attack coming."

"You shouldn't underestimate masters like me! As old as I am, I'm still in great shape!" He said with a chuckle.

"Are you being seriously serious right now?" Zhan Ju asked. "I just took down all of this realm's strongest warriors and you think you can take me on alone?"

The bear smirked at this remark. "Who said I came alone?"

Suddenly, the evil avian was struck by a jet of purple Chi that knocked him down and made him groan in pain before standing on his legs and looking up at the responsible. He was shocked. "You?!"

"Tai Lung?!" Toka shouted in pure surprise.

The elder snow leopard looked down at him from the building he was standing on and smiled a bit. "Hey, young Toka. Missed me?" He asked which made Toka chuckle before jumping down and going to both Tigress and Shifu.

"T-Tai Lung?" Tigress weakly said as she was barely conscious.

"Yes, sister. It's me. Don't worry, I didn't came to seek harm." He then turned toward Shifu who was still recovering from his torso cut and could tell he was shocked to see his student-No, his SON again. "F-Father... I'm sorry for everything I've done." There was nothing but sincerity in Tai Lung's voice. "I don't expect you to forgive me after all the pain I've caused, but know that I'm sincerely sorry."

Shifu was too weak to talk, but simply putted on a weak smile with a tears that came down on his cheek before passing out again. Tai Lung smiled too before he was suddenly stabbed in the back by Zhan Ju. "How touching, this familial reunion. Sorry, but I don't want to wait to put the final touch on my plan!" However, Tai Lung faded into purple smoke. "What?! A clone?!"

He then received a strong kick from the side to the face which knocked him away. It was the true Tai Lung. "Sorry for making you sick, but Master Yoshi convinced me that family is the real and strongest power you can have in life!"

Meanwhile, Suya groaned as she felt life coming back into her. Blinking her eyes a few times, she saw tree roots around her which were healing her chest wounds. "Now's not the time for a beauty sleep, youngling." Said a familiar voice.

Upon looking up, Suya saw a very familiar female eagle with a black shirt and white feathers. "T-Tatara?! B-But that's impossible! You're dead!"

"Well, technically, it's true: I went to the Spirit Realm after dying, like everyone does. However, your bear friend came to pick us and he's a very convincing dude as he managed to convince me that grudge and hate are two very disgusting things. And we both know that I don't like disgusting things, right? So I accepted to come and fight this god dude. And don't think I'm gonna try to steal the Pearl of Hope: it already chose you over me, though I still have some of its power."

Suya was very surprised that she was still willing to fight for their side despite the fact that they fought and killed her in the other world, many months ago. It was then that she realized something. "Wait a minute. You said that he came to pick 'us' ?"

Just as she asked that, a slash of black and green Chi came flying at Zhan Ju who blocked it with an energy shield. He saw that the intruder in question was a male beetle with lacked an horn, had green body paint, black pants and green and yellow eyes. As Koji managed to open his eyes, needless to say he was shocked. "A-Ahulani?!"

The dark beetle simply turned his head to look at him with an emotionless look. "Hey..." He said barely louder than a whisper.

"B-But how did you came back?! Karasu and I killed you in the other world!" Koji said, but settled down as his chest was still hurting.

It's your master who brought both Tatara and myself from the Spirit Realm. At first, I didn't wanted to know anything, but he managed to convince me that my family's banishment was justified and it was your ancestors who are to hold responsible. He convinced me not to take you for responsible as annoying as you are. This is why I'm planning on killing this guy before we can settle our problem."

"Okay, are we done with the returning characters?" Zhan Ju asked. Jus then, green Chi chains wrapped themselves around his body, forcing his wings against his sides. "What now?"

It came from none other than Chikkiart, the green wolf Toka, Po and Tigress met on the Fusang land. "Hey, guys! Sorry for bing late, but I wanted to be the last Bear Force member to make his entrance!" He said with a confident smile.

"Chikkiart, I already told you a thousand times we're not calling ourselves like that!" Yoshi groaned and rubbed his forehead.

"But we need a team name, right?" The wolf insisted which annoyed the four others.

"ENOUGH!" Zhan Ju shouted in anger and exploded with Lava Chi which destroyed the green chains holding him. "I'M MORE THAN TIRED OF ENDURING YOUR STUPIDITIES! IT'S TIME THAT I SHOW MY STRONGEST FORM! LAVA MODE!"

As his Laval Chi faded, the avian's appearance changed: he was now entirely made of lava with fire and his eyes were now complete orange globes still filled with hate. Master Yoshi's team looked in complete surprise at this new form. "This isn't gonna be easy!" Tai Lung remarked as he turned into his Purple Jaguar mode while Ahulani summoned his demon mask and bat wings, Tatara charged her Wood Chi and Chikkiart got in a fighting stance.

"I never said it would be, fellas!" Master Yoshi answered with taking his own fighting stance.

Lava Mode Zhan Ju started by shooting a beam of lava which Yoshi blocked with a solid wall of earth. However, the evil avian broke through and started attacking with his sword with quick moves which the old bear somehow managed to dodge. He eventually received a kick in the chin that knocked him in the air.

The bird was suddenly neutralize by Tai Lung's Binding Chi rings and Tatara's roots as Ahulani charged his strongest attack. "DARK SKY!" His black and green Demon Chi attack reached Zhan Ju and exploded.

"We got him!" Tatara beamed with a wing in the air.

"You think?" The female eagle jumped and turned around just in time to see Zhan Ju who appeared behind her throw a fist right in her face, knocking her away.

"TATARA!" Tai Lung shouted before engaging Zhan Ju in close combat and actually did good despite the avian's strength.

"You cannot overpower me, you traitor!" He shouted after receiving a few hits from the snow leopard who smirked.

"That won't be necessary!" He said with a smirk before moving out of the way to open it for Chikkiart.

"TAKE THAT!" He screamed with shooting a big light green Chi beam which Zhan Ju blocked with one wing.

"JGUAR PUNCH!" Tai Lung smashed the evil avian really hard, sending him crashing on the ground which created a big crater.

Just as Zhan Ju was getting back on his feet, Master Yoshi threw a Chi net that trapped him in. "EXPLOSIVE NET!" He slammed his paw on the tip of it and it exploded with Zhan Ju still in it. "And that's not all! Go, Ahulani!"

The beetle created a spear made of his Demon Chi in his hands. "RAMPAGE SPEAR!" He took it in one hand and threw it right at Zhan Ju which made a mushroom explosion of Demon Chi.

Toka was looking at the whole scene, impressed. Master Yoshi and his team were really doing well together against Zhan Ju. They might actually had a chance of saving the Mortal Realm after all. But then, he heard groans and looked down to see a very weakened Po returning to his senses.

"Po! You're alright, pal?" He asked as he grabbed his arm to help him stand up.

"Had better days." He admitted with rubbing his hurting head. "What did I miss?"

Toka smiled. "Master Yoshi came with some of our old enemies and right now, they're kicking Zhan Ju's butt! Sort of."

The panda smiled. "I told you, Toka. Everything's gonna be fine."

Toka nodded. "Yes. It's true."

Suddenly, another giant red energy explosion came from the battlefield which forced Toka to take cover to avoid getting hurt by the debris. Once it passed away, he saw in horror Master Yoshi, Tai Lung, Tatara, Ahulani, and Chikkiart all laying down on the ground, covered of burning marks and not moving.

"MASTER YOSHI! GUYS!" Toka shouted in horror and rushed at his master's side.

"Don't bother with them: they are defeated!" Zhan Ju said before showing a sinister grin. "It's the end of your world. You did your best and you all imposed me a great challenge, I'll give you that. Well, except for you that is." He said with a look at Toka. "This is a bit disappointing as I though you were going to be the strongest of the bunch. But hey, life can be disappointing sometimes."

He started flying up to go prepare his attack again. Toka started crying. "I'm so sorry, guys... I promised to protect everyone, but in the end, I'm completely useless..."

He suddenly felt something take his bandages paw and lifted his crying face to see that it was Master Yoshi who took his paw with his own. "So that's it, Toka? You're simply giving up because of a powerful opponent?" He asked and Toka wanted to respond, but his jaw was trembling. "What happened to that fire you had, back at my dojo? When I was asking you every day why you wanted to learn Kung Fu and that you answered me that it's because it makes you feel alive. When I asked you what you want to achieve in life and you answered me that you want to become the greatest Kung Fu master of all time and that the day it will happen, you'll look at me with a smile and hold your fist toward me." He then held his paw with both of his simultaneously and looked at him right in the eyes. "Well, the day has come and you have a chance to reach your goal. I forbid you from missing it!"

Toka whipped his tears away. "But he's too strong. I cannot beat him."

"I know, but he can't beat US!" He said and gave his remaining strength to the snow leopard. The others around saw this and tried to do the same. "Toka, to me you have always been more than just a student. You are a son..."

Alena rose her paw and gave him her remaining strength too. "The man who changed my life..."

Koji did the same. "A brother..."

Suya then rose her wings and followed them. "A model..."

It was then Neyo. "A leader..."

Slowly but surely, every one of Toka's friends rose their hands, paws, tails, wings, whatever, and their energy flew to him like small lights of hope. He started feeling the energy coming inside him. It was like they were striking the fear out of his soul and filled his heart with courage. They were right. He couldn't loose now or it would mean the end of everything he ever cherished and held close to his heart.

"ROOOOOOAR!"

Pushing a loud scream, Toka exploded with jade green energy which suddenly turned into a burning orange-red colour. Once the energy moved away, it revealed that he now had a whole new appearance: his fur was now a burning red, his eyes were now ruby in colour and his body was surrounded by the orange-red aura that just exploded. but most of all, he looked way more determined.

"W-What's that?!" Zhan Ju asked, surprised to see Toka's new form.

"I present to you my new form, the Phoenix Warrior Level 2!"

We saw Master Yoshi with some old faces in action, but unfortunately, they weren't enough to take down Lord Zhan Ju. I sure hope you enjoyed seeing them in action though.

And TOKA GOT A NEW TRANSFORMATION! YEEEEAH! Let's hope it will be enough to take down Zhan Ju once and for all. The battle for the Mortal Realm is about to come to a conclusion!
