A year had passed since Po defeated Tai Lung and came to the Jade Palace; during that time he began to learn Kung Fu together with the Furious Five and Harry. Master Shifu after finding inner peace became a little bit more understanding with them, and during that year there had been some situations like:
Po together with Mantis and Tigress had to escort a little spoiled princess who became reasonable during the trip to the king of Qi-dan Temutai,
A fight against the Scorpion, a former healer who's mind got corrupted by one of her potions and was banished, to get the cure for river fever that Tigress got. Bring master Shifu's favorite statue back to the Jade Palace that was stolen for his ruby by the crocodile bandits from Po and Tigress who were transporting it. Po destroyed the training hall with his sticky dumplings and call for Shifu's ex-friend Taotie to repair it but made a machine to attack and destroy Shifu and the Five, Po and Harry threw his sticky dumplings to the gearwheels that destroyed it but Taotie and Bian Zao escaped and Po received a punishment from Shifu, to clean up the mess. But there were several odd things that seemed supernatural but minor ones, mostly.
It was morning, Harry was in the kitchen having breakfast with his master, Viper and Monkey till Po came with a box of sacred scrolls and said excited.
"Now, make way gets, I will start reading the sacred scrolls. Oh, finally I am going to learn the good stuff, secret moves, magic defenses." He said before taking the first scroll that was about how to make tea. And placed his head on the table and took one of Monkey's dumplings and he said.
"Hey, get your own."
"Monkey, I am doing you a little favor, cheeks are looking a little jowly" Po said before complaining.
"I can't read about tea all day, maybe if I skip ahead a scroll or two."
"This is not a good idea, skipping one text could be really dangerous, I know that myself." Harry said.
"Come one I don't think it could be that dangerous." Po said skipping to scroll number 23, but behind him master Shifu heard what he wants to do.
"He is right Po; the sacred scrolls must be read in a proper order." He said.
"Can I just skip to scroll number 15, invisible snake attacks with your mind?" Po asked.
"Of course not, you need the knowledge in scrolls 1 to 49 to understand the importance of 50." Master Shifu said but Po was rather interested in the plate full of dumplings near him and said.
"How about a skip 1 to 49?" He said while getting his hand near the plate before Shifu poked it with his stick and said. "No, you take the scrolls to the library and read them all, start to finish, no distractions, no skipping, no shortcut." He said and threw the box at him with his foot.
"That, wouldn't take all the fun from them?" Po asked.
"Yes" Master Shifu said.
Later that day Po went in the library and began to read the scrolls 1 and 2 of how to make decorative sensate soaps that bored him, then he skipped to the scroll with the fluttering finger mindslip that can make a person to forget his short term memory if done correctly. Harry was at the rear entrance to the library watching what he was doing, he noticed master Viper approaching him to tell him something while he was executing the move and accidentally made her to paralyze and make her forget what she had to tell him and he noticed.
"This can't be good." He said stressed.
"Oh, hey Po I came to tell you that uh…that, huh I can't remember, must not be important." She said and left.
"Wow." Po said excited and in the next moment Crane came and while he was saying Po made the move again.
"Po, it is your turn to sweep the barracks and this time don't just wait for the wind I just caught dust for a week and….." He then paralyzed didn't finishing the proposition.
"What was I saying?" Crane asked.
"You were saying that you really want to sweep the barracks even thought it was my turn. But you know what I will let you do it since you're a pal." Po said making Harry be annoyed because of this for him this wasn't fair.
"Oh, it is really nice of you to let me…sweep." He said before turning around to leave.
"This really works." He said excited while flapping his fingers, he then threw the scroll with the others and began to leave, after Po left the room, Harry quickly went to the pile of scrolls, took it and went to the table and unraveled it.
"Let's see, The Fluttering Finger Mindslip, warning if it is used more often to the same person you can make the victim's mind to deteriorate on his own till they forget how to breathe." Harry read and made him worried, for a year since he knew Po, he knew that he would try everything to escape from doing his work or sometimes training and that mean that he will use this move more and more.
"Cure, cure; the scroll with the cure can be found in the Cave of Mysteries of the Jade Palace." He read before going to the Cave of Mysteries under the Jade Palace. After arriving there he took a lightened torch and went on till he founded where the scrolls from 51 to 10.000 were.
"Wow, I can spend months reading all of them." Harry said before turning to the right side. "Let's start from 51." He took the scroll and unraveled it and began to read outlawed.
'Yeah the warning and, ah the cure, the cure to the move is to cover the head of the victim with the clay of the Alabaster Pot of Remembrance.' "All right." He said before reading 'The only way to reach it is thought the Corridor of Unbelievable Agony.'
"All right, let's go" He said and went on with the scroll in his wing he walked on faster till he reached it, he again unraveled the scroll, check his glasses and read about the traps till he reached the part about how to deactivate them and how to get the pot.
'A cage will land on the pot and the only way to open it is with the key on the right side at the start of the corridor.' He watched and noticed a key and flew there to take it before reading 'the only way to deactivate the traps is the key on the left side at the start of the corridor.' He watched and took the key, he raveled the parchment back and left it behind and now having both keys and the determination to save his master and the others he was ready to bare the agony, he began to flew towards the pot till he was slapped behind his back by a wooden plank that send him much further and then from the walls fires began to be shot.
"Well it is not called the Corridor of Unbelievable Agony for nothing." Harry said and began to go thought the fires with all his courage but the fires didn't touch him, he knew how to synchronize his moves and to fly really fast. And after he finished that he collapsed to the ground tired and then he noticed arrows that were coming towards him, he put his right wing in front of him and made the arrows to be deflect back, like by magic and continued till he reached the pot and a cage went on it, he used the key to unlock it and took it in his wings before using the other key to shut down the traps.
"I thank the training of my master and that of the others, especially the one for the muscle of master Tigress." Harry said relieved.
"I wonder what is happening in this moment." He said thinking that by now Po must have used the power of the move too much. He was right, during that time Po had used the Fluttering Finger Mindslip so much that he began to use it by reflex to escape trouble till he manage to make them to don't remember who they are or what they are. Harry took the pot and exited the caves and went outside to see the five who now don't remember anything.
"Have you guys seen this? My knees totally band the wrong way." Crane said not looking where he was going and bumped into Monkey who used kicked him into Tigress who hit him and caught him by the neck and hold him to the ground, all of them were now confused and Tigress said.
"Judging by our fighting skills, we must be bakers."
"Yes, very dangerous bakers." Monkey said.
"What do I do? What do I do?" Harry said thinking a bit stressed till the idea came. "That's it." And went there with the pot trying to have a smile and when he got there and Mantis noticed him.
"Oh, hey there little boy what are you doing here?" He said and all of them started at him confused.
"You ordered a facial treatment for today; I came here to do it." Harry said.
"Really?" Monkey said confused.
"We did?" Mantis said.
"I don't remember." Viper said.
"You ordered the treatment yesterday; it was reserved for today because it was overcrowded and no one could come so it was established that you will receive the treatment today. But we couldn't send the message." Harry said.
"I don't remember that." Mantis said.
"Maybe you will remember after the treatment, the plants in this face cream is said to make wonders for the memory." Harry said smiling.
"Wait a minute, aren't you too young for this, you seem to only be 10 years old." Viper said.
"My father is the owner of the beauty saloon, he thought me the craft when I was 6 years old, he thinks I can handle it." Harry said with a stressed smile.
"All right then, let's see what you can do." Mantis said smiling at him.
"Strange you remind me of someone but I don't remember who." Crane said while looking at him thoughtful.
"Like he said maybe you will remember after the treatment." Tigress said while looking at the boy, for Harry it was a bit unusual to see her actually looking at him with a smile.
"Well then, let's begin with you." Harry said while taking a handful of clay from the pot and put it on his master's head, then he tuned towards Monkey who asked.
"For how exactly do we have to keep it on our face?"
"For no more then ten minutes." He said before putting clay on monkey's head, before turning to Viper and Tigress and put clay on them and then Mantis, where it was a problem due to his small size.
"It seems that I am too small for the treatment." Mantis said.
"What, not at all." Harry said and took him in his wing, but in that moment the clay on Crane's head hardened and break making him to remember everything and turned towards Harry.
"Harry, what is going on?" He asked making Mantis to wonder.
"Harry?" He asked and in that moment the younger crane put the clay that covered him totally and said. "Sorry master Mantis." And in that moment the clay on Monkey, Tigress and Viper broke as well and began to start at him, who was still holding Mantis covered in clay.
"What happened? What's going on?" Viper asked confused.
"Po ate my dumpling." Monkey said.
"Harry, what is going?" Tigress said with a strict tone when she saw him.
"Ah, well…." He began stressed and in that moment the clay on Mantis broke and noticed what was going on.
"All right, now this is something I want to know." He said before jumping off from his wing.
"Come on, tell us what happened." Tigress said demanding making Harry stress.
"Calm down, and tell us." Crane said with a calm voice.
"Well, while Po was reading the sacred scrolls of Kung Fu he skipped to the last one that was about The Fluttering Finger Mindslip that makes the user to erase the victim's shot term memory, after using it on Viper and on you master, he began to use it constantly to escape trouble and his work till he overused it and made you forget everything about yourselves. And in that time I was in the Caverns of Mysteries to take the cure for this." Harry explained making all the five masters angry.
"Oh, he did so." Master Tigress said clenching her fists.
"Wait and you went in the Caverns of Mysteries and pass all the Corridor of Unbelievable Agony to get the cure, on your own?" Viper asked amazed.
"It wasn't easy but I had to do something." Harry said.
"You did well, but you know that it was dangerous to go through the corridor for one of your age." Crane said.
"How did you manage to pass?" Monkey asked.
"I read about the traps in the corridor when I got there." He said.
"It is unbelievable; you are more mature then Po and you are only 10 years old." Mantis said.
"Speaking of him, let's give him a lesson." Tigress said and all of the five began to climb the stairs but in that moment Harry came up with an idea.
"Wait I think I have a better idea." He said and everyone turned around towards him.
"Really, let's hear it." Monkey said and he began to explain his scam, they will pretend that they are still brainwashed and he will say that he is the bad guy or one of their enemies told them that Po is they're enemy and they will began to fight and bit him till he admits that he was wrong.
"What do you say?" Harry asked.
"Since when did you turn bad?" Tigress said making him feel awkward.
"It seems that behind that scar, is a mind of an evil genius, for pranks." Mantis said impressed by the idea.
"This will be the scam of the dynasty." Monkey said excited before adding "Where do you get these ideas?"
"Even if I don't like it too much it will teach him a lesson." Viper said.
"Let's go." Mantis said but then in the sky they noticed a flying object that might belong to Taotie and is coming towards them.
"Change of plans, you are not the bad guy." Tigress said to Harry.
"What, why?" He asked.
"Po isn't so dump Harry, if we say that you are the one who tell us Po is our enemy he will surely realize, especially if he sees you with the Alabaster Cup of Remembrance." Crane said.
"Besides you need to take it back to its place, now go" Tigress ordered and Harry goes with the urn back inside.
When they meet Taotie and his son they followed Harry's plan and pretended that they don't remember anything, he began to give them awkward names and tell them his story about Po and Shifu for being the bad guys, it made some to clench their fists.
When Shifu came and Taotie ordered them to attack him they pretended they are fighting him, Shifu didn't knew what was going on but when he saw Harry behind a column in the Hall of the Warriors with the cure in his wings and made him a sign with his eye he then realize that they are pretending and then he pretended as well. And after a moment Po arrived empty-handed.
"I didn't found it!" He said and saw Shifu "unconscious".
"Oh no." He said and everyone began to attack him and he began to fight them till he was beaten.
"If only I wasn't lazy and didn't skip, I'm sorry guys." Po said admitting his wrongdoing.
"HAHAHA, I at last defeated the Dragon Warrior and Shifu." Taotie said evilly savoring the moment while his son Bian Zao took the moment with indifference. And then in that moment Harry came out.
"Not so fast Taotie." He said smiling tracking his attention.
"What? Who are you?" Taotie asked before remembering. "Wait, you are that boy that fought with the Panda against me when I wanted to destroy them the first time."
"You are right." Harry said.
"Hah, it will not be a problem defeating you as well. Capture him." Taotie asked.
"Why not capturing you?" Crane said.
"What?" He said confused.
"Don't you see?" Harry said with a smirk and the Furious Five and Shifu went near him and then he together with Po realized.
"Wait everything was a trick?" Po asked amazed.
"Yes to give you a lesson." Harry said showing the cup near him and then Taotie and his son began to run towards his invention outside and began to run fly away and he said back "I am not paying that bill."
Later in that evening Po began to tell them his story and that he admits that he skipped and he was lazy and promised that he will never use the move again, he used it on himself to forget about it, but he forget more then it should, master Shifu manage to make him remember something but not the move and once this was over they all went out in the corridor and then Master Shifu turned towards the young one.
"I have to say that what you did was very impressive for someone of your age; such devotion towards his master is rarely these days." Master Shifu said making Harry to smile.
"Thank you Master Shifu." He said.
"But still it was very dangerous to venture on your own in the Corridor of Unbelievable Agony. But you prove that you can do hard things even in this kind of circumstances." Master Shifu said.
"Yeah and having such a plan to make Po admit his mistake was great, it was also a good prank." Monkey said with a smile.
"And maybe I will begin to take you in missions next year after you are eleven and after more training." Crane said placing his wing on his shoulder.
"Really." Harry said excited about it.
"Late spring of the next year Harry, you just don't think you will begin to venture immediately when you are eleven." Tigress said placing a paw on his shoulder.
"Yes mistress, understood." He replied nervously.
