(Or "Don't break the China!")

"WELL THE LAST TIME YOU REMEMBER, ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE, ALONG WITH PEABODY AND SHERMAN HAD ARRIVED WITH MARCO POLO'S CARAVAN TO KUBLAI KHAN'S PALACE!"

"Oh great-a Khan…" Polo spoke, bowing before the emperor in his massive throne room. "Once again I bring-a to you gifts from a-the Western World-a—"

"Look if this is gonna be meatballs again I told you, don't make em' so spicy." The Emperor replied, then proceeded to recline back on his throne. "Continue—"

"EVENTUALLY, MARCO POLO HAD GOTTEN THOUGH THE GOLD, WEAPONRY AND ANIMALS HE'D BOUGHT FOR THE EMPEROR."

"These are most excellent gifts, Polo." The Emperor spoke. "For your gratitude, you may stay here at my palace, along with those friends you've got there." He pointed at Rocky, Bullwinkle, Peabody and Sherman.

"Thank a-you ever so-a much-a, great Emperor!" Marco bowed once again before the Emperor, then looked at our four main heroes, instructing them to do the same. They quickly obliged, bowing alongside Polo.

"This is so cool!" Bullwinkle whispered as a few attendants tied a hanfu around his waist.

"Boy you said it, Bullwinkle.." Rocky replied, practicing t'ai-ch'i with Sherman and a few of the Emperor's handmaidens.

"ROCKY, BULLWINKLE AND SHERMAN WERE REALLY ENJOYING LIFE AMONGST THE CHINESE NOBILITY—WHILE MR. PEABODY DISCUSSED POLITICS WITH KHAN, THEY ENJOYED A FULL DAY OF CALLIGRAPHY, HORSEBACK RIDING, CHESS, AND EATING DIM SUM."

"LATER THAT EVENING, AS ROCKY SLUMBERED IN A GORGEOUSLY-DECORATED GUEST ROOM IN THE IMPERIAL PALACE WITH THE OTHERS, BULLWINKLE DECIDED TO TAKE A LITTLE WALK AND VIEW THE IMPERIAL GARDEN."

"Ah..." Bullwinkle sighed, reclining on a bridge, staring down at the sparkling, clear river below, filled with beautiful water lilies and golden carp swimming about.

"SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, A SWORD WAS THROWN DIRECTLY AT BULLWINKLE, BUT LANDED IN THE STEM OF A PLUM TREE. BULLWINKLE COULDN'T QUITE MAKE OUT THE FACE, BUT HE COULD TELL THE STRANGE FIGURE WAS A WOMAN, DRESSED IN SILVER ARMOR WITH A DRAGON MASK OVER HER FACE."

"AGH! ROCKYYY!!" Bullwinkle exclaimed, rushing over to the guest room they were sleeping in.

"S-scary lady—d-dragon lady—" Bullwinkle stammered. "Big sword!"

"What dragon lady?" Rocky asked, quickly getting out of the bed and embracing the moose. "Calm down, buddy."

"Aiya!" A handmaiden exclaimed. "You said you saw a "dragon lady"?"

"Y-yeah—" Bullwinkle stammered, still very frightened.

"That's an ASSASSIN!" The handmaiden exclaimed, briefly pointing to a "wanted" poster. "They call her FU-REN LONG!"

"Fu-Ren Long?" Rocky asked, scratching his head.

"THE WANTED POSTER HAD AN INK-DRAWN IMAGE OF A RATHER ANGRY LOOKING WOMAN WITH HER HAIR TIED BACK, IN ARMOR, WITH LONG SCARS COVERING HER FACE."

"She's the deadliest assassin in all the provinces, and as her name implies, her swordsmanship and fighting are as quick as a dragon's teeth! I must alert the Emperor!"

"AND SO THE HANDMAIDEN PROCEEDED TO LIGHT A FIREWORK WHICH EXPLODED IN THE AIR. THIS WAS THE SIGNAL FOR THE PALACE'S GUARDS TO ATTACK THE ASSASSIN! MAKE SURE TO BE WITH US NEXT TIME FOR "Drunken Moose-ter" OR "Ip Moose!"!"
