Baihu ran through the storm around him with unbelivable speed.

How can weather change so quickly, it was a clear night just a moment ago. he thought when he watched bolts of lightning fall to the ground.

The white tiger left the Jade Palace the moment he heard about their infamous noodle mobile adventure from Shifu. If he was sure about one thing, it was that he would not put them through another one of those. But it meant that they would need another mean of transport. Luckily he was more than ready for that particular issue.

His expression immediately brightened up when he saw the mountain Jiàn Fēngbào.

-Three days later-

Everyone was enjoying a nice lunch at the noodle shop, their bags surrounding them. They were supposed to meet Baihu here an hour ago. Each time the white tiger's name appeared in their conversation, Tigress had this strange urge to go look for him.

"Aaand it's official, he's late." Crane said.

"But we are still going right?" asked Po.

"We'll see, you would think that someone so old has some sense of time." Monkey said.

They happily talked without noticing a dark shadow forming around them.

"Heh, he might be loosing his hearing for all we know, how old do you think he actually is?" Mantis added.

"My guess is fifty four, because there is no way someone so old could look like that." Viper said playfully.

"I must say that I am flattered, I will be three hundred and sixty in two months actually, and no Mantis my hearing could not be any better." Came shouting from above.

They all looked up and gasped in awe when they saw two blimps hovering there. The one over them was much bigger than the other both Tigress and Po recognized.

A heavy looking anchor suddenly lander not more than two feet from their table.

"Climb on! We don't have much time before the wind changes."

And climb they did, in a few moments they were fifty meters up in the air and surprised to find Shifu already there sipping a tea.

Baihu put hishands behind his back and started speaking.

"Okay now that our crew is finally assembled, we shall go over some rules. First of all any sort of mutiny against me as your captain will be punished by hanging the responsible person upside down from the ship by their ankles. Second rule no touching the boxes filled with dangerous cargo in the back, and yes I'm looking at you Po. Third rule, it is strictly prohibited to touch the captain wheel without my permission. Are there any questions?"

"Yeah I have one, where did you get this ship?!" Asked Po.

"Excelent question, I built her myself, are there any other questions?"

"Where can I set up my noodle cart?" Asked Mr. Ping.

"Dad!? What are doing here?" Po asked in panick.

"I invited him too, you see there will be a mahjong turnament held in Hong Kong and I need a professional to come with me, but it seems that you already betrayed my trust when you brought that thing aboard." Baihu said pointing at the cart.

"That's just...umm...for the catering, someone has to feed your students look how skinny they are!"

"Oh really, then do tell me, why did you bring those flyers too?" The tiger asked again this time with his arms crossed and a smug smile. When he saw that the goose didn't have anything to say he continued.

"That thing will stay locked in the storage space until we return, you don't need to worry yourself with the wellbeing of my students since there is a fully stocked onboard kitchen have I made myself clear?"

Mr. Ping stormed off quickly pushing the cart away while swearing under his breath.

"Now if there are no other questions, please follow me and I will show you to your rooms."

"We are getting rooms?! This beats Noodle Mobile in so many ways." Crane said happily.

"Wait, how big is this thing anyway?" Tigress asked.

"She has five rooms, a storage space and a small kitchen. Which means that you will have to share."

"Wait, does that mean that one of us will have to share room with Mr. Ping?!" Everyone except Baihu froze.

"What's the problem?"

"His snoring could wake sleeping demons of the underworld!" Shifu stated angrily.

"Well, let's make it fair. Eeny..." He said and pointed at Monkey.

You can't be serious thought Monkey.

"...meeny..."

Not let it be me, not let it be me... Crane thought.

"...miny..."

I would rather die... Viper thought.

"...me!" He pointed at himself.

The others looked at him questioningly.

"You see, I already thought about this sort of situation, the walls are hundred percent sound proof and since I will be the one flying the ship I won't get much sleep anyway."

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Form pairs and unpack, then I will raise the anchor and we'll be on our way. It shouldn't take more than a day if the wind stays like this."

"Wait, but it's on the other end of China!" Mantis said.

Baihu didn't say anything just gave them time to settle.

"Dibs on the free room." Said Shifu and quickly disappeared inside one of the rooms before anyone could protest. Only to come out a second later with a shocked expression on his face.

"What's wrong Master?" Tigress asked worried and after she didn't get an answer she stepped in herself only to discover what surprised Shifu so much.

If there was a word stronger than luxurious, this would definitely be it. Even if there was no gold or diamonds this room looked as if it was stolen from royal palace. Beautiful wood carvings decorated every wall along with eight paintings. In every corner of the room was a flower pot with spectacular yellow and blue flowers she has never even seen before and on the ceiling was painted the most realistic picture of spring landscape. Numerous pieces of the highest quality furniture were also present still leaving enough space for two very comfortable looking beds.

The others also checked their rooms only to find the same quality in each of them. The only question that remained on their mind was how did the white tiger afford such luxury.

-Meanwhile-

Baihu calmly walked right to the rope holding the anchor and quickly pulled it up. The ship shifted and began slowly floating from the Valley of Peace into the new future.

Let me just say how grateful I am for you and your reviews, you are the ones keeping this story alive, not me. It may not seem as much but you taking a small time out of your life to write something like that brings me great happiness.

Info:

Blimps actually exist in KFP universe, one is seen in the episode Shoot the Messanger.

Mr. Ping once actually stayed at the Jade Palace and almost turned it into a restaurant in the episode Master Ping.

PS: I was thinking about writing a happy story fanfic of Elfen Lied. What do you think?
