2. Chapter 2

The heat of the first rays of the sun entering through his window, made the panda begin to wake up, in a somewhat difficult way, but in the end, achieving his mission, waking him up from his deep and peaceful sleep, he just woke up, the first thing he ended up doing. It was realizing how he was resting in the room, in his father's restaurant ... but he had no memories of arriving there the night before ... rather he did not remember what he had done the night before in reality, it was rubbing his face with both hands, but he had noticed strange in these, something wet, even with his eyelids somewhat closed, it was that he moved his legs away from his face, to leave them a few centimeters from his face, and by the time he opened his eyelids ... found little blood marks, already dried blood,but for some reason they weren't doing any good to her nose, they had given her a bit of nausea to see the blood in that state on her hands, and she was almost falling off the stairs when she ran to wash at the back of the restaurant, and He did so, he began to rub his hands somewhat hastily, luckily there was no one around, and as soon as he made sure to leave them completely dry, he moved away from the water, beginning to regain air with rather heavy sighs, now approaching a mirror that there was not far from him ... just to notice how he had a large part of his body ... different, scared he turned away from it, but that only gave him a fuller view of what had happened ... his torso had been reduced, As well as his belly, the muscles in each arm were now even more noticeable, he ran his hands slowly over his chest,finding a pair of quite rare pectorals ... they were firm, and somewhat hard, but soft due to his skin, slowly lowering them to his belly, he was still present, being a panda not even with magic such a big belly would disappear completely, but on top of this, I notice a little more firmness, and after having approached the mirror again, he began to massage his face

-… What happened to me last night? - He barely said, screams of agony, and rather fleeting bloody images attacked his mind, so he, between grunts and slight complaints, moved away, and sighed heavily, trying to relax, more when that happened, he heard the door next to him opening , and for this, Mr. Ping was leaving

- Good morning Po! - Said the simple Goose, who soon sat down not far from a scrubber where he dedicated himself to cleaning a few vegetables - Until you decided to wake up, I was starting to worry a bit

These words took the panda out of his deepest thoughts, who did not take long to turn to see him, wondering if he had noticed that radical change in his body ... or if he was imagining it by himself - Why do you say it dad?

- Well, son, it's already past noon ... day ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! - The scream had caused the diners in the restaurant to stop with their food, only to turn their heads towards the kitchen, while behind it, in the alley, a worried panda was trying to calm his father goose - PO WHAT WAS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU !?

- Papa, papa please, relax, nothing bad happens - The calm tone in the panda's muzzle was heard, although it was not totally calm, because if he felt worried about his father's reaction -

- Nothing bad happens? Look to you! You are almost to the bone, my dear son! - He threw himself into the arms of his son, and hugged him, with one of his wings was patting his stomach, shedding tears even in the current situation - Surely that heavy Master has you on a strict diet! Uuuuggh when I see him I'm going to-

- Dad, calm down! ... Look at me ... I'm fine, I'm alive, I'm breathing - He barely made the goose go back, to get on one of his knees, and try to match his height, but that, it even seemed to be that he had grown a little - And no, Master no had nothing to do with this ... in fact ... I don't even know how "this" was - He said, pointing to his full body - It happened

- But how do you not know how it happened, son !? If it's your body! - I claim the goose, still worried, without stopping seeing him and checking him everywhere

- Sorry dad, but I swear, I don't know how this happened -

- Ouu ... Po ... Come to the kitchen, you have to eat something - I take him by the arm, and without waiting for any comment, I drag him back inside the restaurant, the panda only raised a half smile ... because even with what What happened yesterday, he continued to support him ... loving him, in the kitchen, the goose served a huge bowl of noodles, and together with the chopsticks, he gave this to the giant panda - Go ahead, enjoy yourself

- ... Thank you dad ... - He said, before starting to eat at his own pace, calm, although it was then that he realized what his father had previously told him, and it was already past noon - ... fell asleep that long?

- Master Po! Master Po! - The screams coming from the entrance of the restaurant, made most of them put their lunch aside again, it was Zeng, Po at that time when he heard him, he put his plate aside, he left the kitchen, to meet him face to face hurried goose - Master Shifu requires your immediate assistance at the jade palace!

- Little moment there, but my son just started eating! Go and tell that Master Shifu to wait for it to finish! - Replied Ping, who matched Zeng with his neck, in an annoying tone and expressions, before the panda made him back down

- Easy dad ... I'll go, but don't worry, as soon as you finish telling me, whatever you are going to say to me, and I'll come back ... I still have things to do here in town - He received a look from his father, and just I give him a small half smile, before it faded, and he started walking towards the exit of the restaurant - Quick Zeng, I don't have all day - The shape and tone that the panda had used for those words, was very different The one he used with his father, the Goose had been silent for a few seconds, because it is the first time that Po referred to him in that way, but as he said, he rushed to catch up, and took flight towards the palace of Jade, while the panda, kept running, until he reached the stairs, which he climbed at the same rate

Meanwhile, In The Palace
.

.

.

Master, in the company of the furious 5, was in the hall of heroes, looking everywhere, among the hundreds of scrolls they kept, for something that would give them a clue about the words that "the sign" at the entrance of the town, that After a few hours, they managed to clean and remove, and now, Tigress, with a scroll in her hands, with the mark previously seen, drawn on top of it, they were going through all the scrolls where ancient languages were used, but no matter how much he searched, no matter how much he piled up, and checked, he did not find anything that was related to that mentioned ... Doom Slayer

- Nothing ... Nothing ... NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING! - I drop numerous scrolls to the ground, almost wanting to give up, but without stopping looking - How is it possible that from all the knowledge we have nothing about this Doom Slayer!

- And none of the marks on the scrolls that we already reviewed look like this one here ... Master do you think we will really find something here? - Asked Tigress, who soon found herself keeping the parchment with the mark on it for a moment

- I'm not entirely teacher Tigress, but if enough ... there must be something here, damn it, there must be ... - After searching, searching and searching, it was that he found the bottom of the shelves, finding himself thus facing What he could deduce was the parchment he was looking for, because of the darkness of the shelf he could not see it completely well, but it was then that he brought it to light, and let him see what was a scroll very similar to the dragon scroll, only that was protected with a cover made purely of rubies, or rather, of a single giant ruby, which was spinning, and nowhere did he find anything that would help him to know if that was the scroll he was looking for, and it was not until he found the cover to the roll, and in this one, was, that so curious mark - Here!

Hearing her scream, the rest put aside what they were doing and approached, Tigress, taking out that scroll again was that she made sure that the marks matched, and they did, Master, after confirming, I firmly took the lid of the roll, and I withdraw it, and then to find myself there, with a roll of size, reduced, it was even much smaller than the roll of the dragon, that I just took it out of it, unrolled it, did not have too much information, or at least It seemed because there were few letters, but thus, it did not take Master Shifu to read it aloud

- ... This says the following ... is written with ... Oogway's handwriting?

"Born of the eternal flames of hell ... and Attributed by the angels of heaven, endowed with the strength and power of a god ... the Doom Slayer, will not stop until his goal is completed, annihilate all traces of evil on earth , this dangerous super predator, blessed with outsized abilities and stamina, faced the most dangerous and fearsome demons of hell for hundreds of thousands of years, and will live after that, however, it is not quite known what kind of nature he is his exactly ... but for sure you can know ... that he is here ... to protect the earth, not to destroy it ... and no matter how much I try to talk to him ... he did not answer me ... he just ignored me, or continued with his work ... I remember that the first time I saw him, it was around the valley ... I don't know why ... but almost always,he was prowling the woods ... maybe to find peace ... for his heavy and exhausting life of slaughter "

- Look ... here - Viper, with his tail, pointed to the bottom of the parchment, and the end was Oogway's signature - It's his signature ... Do you think Master Oogway ever spoke to him?

- I don't think so ... before a guy like the one you are mentioning, I doubt that he could even be put in front of him - I mention the praying mantis

- I think the most important thing here was not the sociable ability of that subject ... but his presence - Said the crane

- I agree - Shifu replied, thus leaving the scroll on the ground, and then start walking with his hands behind his back - "The Doom Slayer, He is walking on the earth, again" from what that message said ... I deduce that who I leave it there ... it was the same Doom Slayer

- And why don't I use a note or something to leave us that message - Asked the mantis, who was on the primate's shoulder, and rather than being joking, he seemed to be speaking seriously

- More importantly, why did he attack the wolves like that? ... I literally slaughter them - Asked Tigress, who still couldn't really believe the situation

- Didn't you hear? That guy would have given equal if they had only stolen a sweet from a child ... I think that's what he means to end the evil of the earth - The primate replied

- Forget about that ... now our priority could be-

By the time the red panda tried to speak, he was interrupted by the opening of the doors of the hall of heroes, and followed by these, the panda entered, along with Zeng, who barely saw Master Shifu, he bowed and He quickly flew away from the place, he still had a serious face when he saw the panda ... and his new ... makeover, the rest had between expressions of surprise, and some other, confused, a day before they would swear that the panda was not seen as it looks now, and as soon as he approached the group, he joined his fist with his palm, and he revered

- Good afternoon teacher ... Do I send someone to call for me? - He answered, he had barely straightened in place

- Until you arrive, dragon warrior ... we have a somewhat severe situation here - He replied, before the giant panda passed him and went to stand next to Tigress - As I was telling you, our highest priority at this moment is the Doom Slayer - This last bit of the talk, made the panda's ears pay full attention to his words - I want to make sure he is not a threat ... to everyone, I want to know if he is with us, with them, or if he is impartial

- But master, I doubt that he is even an enemy, did he not see how he left the wolves? - Asked the Crane, gaining the gaze and attention of his master

- I know that, Master Crane, but it could be an ally of enemies of those wolves, or something else, and as I told you, we will make it our priority, until we can make sure that it is not a threat

- And what does teacher suggest? He wants us to look for him everywhere until we find him or he prefers that we ask from door to door to see if someone has seen him - Po said, earning everyone's stares, most of them, of disbelief ... he never answered that way, he even made the red panda hold its mouth open, for a few seconds until it cleared its throat

- None of those ... dragon warrior - He returned his hands behind his back, and began to walk again, reaching the entrance to the hall of heroes, to stay at the beginning of the steps down, and point with his staff towards the woods that surrounded the valley of peace - Master Oogway's writings suggest that when he saw it, he claimed that it was around the valley in its forests ... it will be a good place to start, taking into account that those wolves came from around here, perhaps the doom slayer is not far away

- Master, even if we get to see it, what are we supposed to do? - Asked the primate

- Study him ... and in the best of cases ... communicate with him ... we may have better luck than Master Oogway ... Mantis, Monkey, Crane, you will go first, take supplies from the kitchen, and go to the woods, rounds until The night comes, then we will change the shift, the teacher Tigress, Crane and I, we will take the night to watch ... as for you Po, I need you to stay in the palace, and take care of it, until the Monkey masters and company arrive at the palace

- Got it - was all he answered ... again surprising the group. No complaints? ... No tantrums? Were there no pleas to let him participate in this "hunt"? even the red panda, who was already expecting one of those, was speechless for a few moments

- Well ... before leaving, all of you put the scrolls in place, I'll go find more information about this ... phenomenon ... permission - I bow to his students and they returned the gesture, before he left there

Po was the first to turn to the scrolls, and little by little, he began to pick them up from the floor, and arrange them as supposed, on the shelves, in the greatest silence possible, it took the others a moment to see it ... Now thinking more about the matter that had occurred yesterday, some uncomfortable, others somewhat thoughtful, seeing each other, was that little by little they got closer, and like the panda, they began to gather and arrange the rolls where they were with Previously, thus forming a rather tense silence at the time, the teachers looked at each other, before turning their heads towards the giant panda, making them swallow thickly, in part they felt somewhat uncomfortable because it did not release any sudden conversation and nothing to see how he used to get used to, on the contrary, he was just turning his back on everyone,And if perhaps he turned to see them, it was to take the rolls that they gathered, by then to accommodate them in their place, the minutes were passing, and the silence at every moment was becoming more and more embracing, it was thus then, that the primate When he could no longer bear it, he cleared his throat for a few seconds, before turning to see the panda, and smiling slightly

- Hey Po… How about we cheat a bit? You can go and watch that the teacher does not come while we accommodate this - Said Mono

- No thanks, I prefer to do it myself - The panda replied, in a tone quite ... cold and cutting, it was almost as if Tigress had answered him, thus causing the primate to swallow thickly

- Okeey ... hey ... And why don't you and me change places? Go with Mantis and Viper to watch the forests, I can hide, and Crane cover you with some kind of-

- No Monkey ... the master's orders were clear, I'm not going to watch - He said in the same way, now continuing with the upper shelves, raising the rolls and arranging them before going down for more

Now if it was a rather uncomfortable situation ... the tone, the way of answering, and the level of his voice were not his own, and it only made them think that this had to do with what had happened yesterday, and although Tigress was thinking about that possibility, she was still doubting that Po was being serious when he said that he was going to change ... but even so, there came a certain moment when, gathering his courage, he put aside a few arranged rolls, before turning to him. panda, and approaching it, the others, still in their place, waited to see what would happen now ... with them two, it was not known, not for sure, it was like that then, when Tigress cleared her throat, calling the panda's attention giant, that although he turned to see her over his shoulder, he did not stop with what he was doing, but at least,Tigress knew she would have time to speak

- Po ... listen, we're sorry for what- He couldn't finish the sentence ... the panda didn't let him

- I do not want to hear it Tigress - He raised a lot more of the rolls, and they were barely accommodated, under the stairs, to accommodate is on the next shelf, but he turned away from these, and faced the feline with short steps in front of him - Already They said what they had to say yesterday, and I already promised them something, I'm going to change ... and if that issue is aside, we have work to do - I take another pile of rolls with the intention of accommodating them, sooner, this one he turned to get them up, was stopped by a leg that landed on his shoulder ... a leg with orange fur and full of stripes

- No Po ... it's not right, and you know it ... - The feline said again, she is soon being followed by the others

- What we were trying to say yesterday was that ... it would be great if you took this from being a teacher, a little more seriously - Said Crane

- Come on friend, you are not a bad guy either, you only have things to improve yourself - Monkey continued, and this was soon followed by Mantis who was standing on his shoulder

- But today, you are yourself at the end of the day, and that is what makes you special

- Exactly, and although, you screw up, you never give up until I remember it- The reptile tried to say, but this was soon silenced by the panda's leg, which got up and extended towards them

By the time he lowered it, Po slowly turned his head, and saw them over his shoulder, a very small tear was falling down his eyelid, and soon, down his cheek, and finally to the floor, just for it to wipe itself. with his arm, and carefully remove the leg that was holding him, then continue with what he was doing, in absolute silence, this had only made the masters of the other styles feel worse ... maybe it was just that he needed some time more to be able to relax completely ... but Tigress was not comfortable with that ... the idea was that she could clarify her ideas the time they were going to be out looking for those wolves ... but this changed her entire plan, being then so, it was that this, barely the panda low, she cleared her throat behind her, making him turn to see her

- Master Po ... I need to talk to you - Tigress said, who soon saw how the panda was preparing to speak - No excuses ... no protests ... it is a necessity, but not right now, because we are busy ... Do you have a problem with seeing me in the peach of heavenly wisdom before I go to watch the forests? ...

-. . . Okay, Master Tigress ... if that's what you need ... I'll show up there later ... as I told you before, we have work right now - She took a few more rolls, and began to arrange them in place

Most of the eyes stayed on Tigress, but soon, they continued on with their own, except for Viper, she seemed to have a slight idea of what was going to happen ... although she did not want to assure anything, later she would investigate on her own, But that was how the day passed, as soon as they finished with the rolls, Monkey, Mantis and Viper went to the kitchen, taking a few supplies of food and water in a good size backpack, and according to the orders of their teacher, these they went to watch, and they would not return until late at night, much of the day had passed, and at that time, the palace was basically quiet, empty, with Master in all the places he knew stored scrolls, and followed by those, He went to the town library to find things related to this very matter of the Slayer

Crane, on the other hand, had taken advantage of his "free" time to do a strenuous cleaning of the training room, as well as helping the geese with their maintenance, Po, was in the kitchen, preparing everything that was going on at once to be used for dinner that same day ... Tigress, that was the special case at that time, because she looked from one side to the other from the frame of her door, that there was no one nearby, and I confirm it, with her ear, As soon as this happened, it was that he slowly closed the door of his said room, looked under his bed, until he found a full-length mirror, which he clung to one of its walls, and moved away, taking enough air into his lungs , rubbing her face, and patting her cheeks, she hardly felt ready, she turned to the mirror, putting her hands behind her back,and breathing at a fairly hot rate, and with a fairly straight and firm posture, he began to speak, looking directly into the mirror

- Master Po ... I would like to ask you ... my sincerest apologies for what happened yesterday ... surely you can understand that it is not easy to bear it and ... ugggh no no ... no that won't do ... Master Po, I'm glad ... Arrrrg ... Master Po, I needed to talk to you, about what happened yesterday, and I wanted to tell you, at least, for my part, everything I could say about what a ... AAAAARGGH! No no no no! That is not going to work, nor is she going to take it well at all - She said scolding herself, the feline who was apparently rehearsing

- You know ... a simple "I love you" is more than enough -

The feline almost died when she heard a voice not far from her, it was then that she turned at full speed towards her door, having run into a reptile that was laughing quite mockingly, but at the same time, the look he was giving the feline was in the form of "Congratulations" this only worried the feline, only for it to go slowly towards the mirror, which in a vain attempt, he tried to hide, but he did not succeed , the reptile, however, quite openly entered the room of said feline, only to face the aforementioned, it was then when with her imperturbable smile, she extended her tail to Tigress's right hand, holding it a little making it closer

- You are not committing the crime you know ... Love is a right of everyone and for everyone, even for the greatest kung fu warriors, such as you and Po ... - She immediately saw how the feline was preparing To deny everything he was saying, but, nevertheless, I advance the words to him, and it was when I tried to match his height in parts by getting on the bed and lifting his body - You don't want to deny it Tigress ... I have noticed, as you have I've been watching ... at least when he's not doing nonsense ... believe me, that, in matters of the heart, there is no one who makes me dumb ~ ... So tell me, do you want to talk about that?

- ... This is something too confusing Viper ... and it's not easy to explain either ... so don't you dare judge me if you don't listen to the parts you want to hear ... but I don't deny that ... until now ... I have taken an immense affection for Po Over the years she's been here ... Viper I'm about to go crazy ... - The feline happened to cover her face with her legs, and went to sit on the edge of her bed, where she lowered her head and still with her face covered, she began to rock slightly - If he is stronger than me, it bothers me ... if he is less strong than me, it bothers me, if he doesn't take things seriously, I get annoyed, but now, when it seems to be, that he is serious, with being different, taking things seriously, one of the things that I wanted so much… it bothers me… I don't understand! … I wanted Po to be the warrior that he's supposed to be! ... But Viper ... Why do I feel so bad? ... Why? ... Why does the idea of not seeing that awkward smile again after a mischief make me sad? ... Why does the idea of not To see again that happy and childish attitude of hers, which although it is annoying ... makes it special? … Why am I afraid that it will change?

The feline's statements were somewhat surprising for the reptile that at that time was being held by the feline's hands, although more than her words, her surprise was present when she noticed very small wet drops that were falling from the eyelids of a tigress, slowly falling to the ground and part of the bed, the tail of the reptile, slowly rose to his face, and with the tip of the tail, he wiped the tears that lay on his face, just to smile at him Tenderly, moving away slightly until she returned to bed, in it, she took charge of helping her relax, as she would need it later, to speak this, but before Tigress said a word, she would decide to speak first

- Now Tigress ... listen to me very carefully ... How do you feel right now? - He asked, with a very different tone than he used to, quite sweet and calm, and boy, his tone was almost always like that, but now it was heard in a more maternal way

- ... I feel scared ... but it's not a very regular fear, it's a fear, like the one I felt when ... Po was shot by that damn unhinged turkey ... I feel as if a very large part of me was falling off me ... I feel the weight of guilt on my chest ... guilt for all the things I said yesterday ... but it's just ... I was worried that he would hurt himself when using the heroes' Shiite, or worse, that using it would kill him ... but ... I exceeded with my words

- Yes, you did - This immediately received a puzzled look from the feline, Viper just rolled her eyes to the side, then lift her tail and gently pat her head - Hey, don't expect her to support what you said ... maybe if I ask for it like you were discussing it… but you know what Po is like… he's not a bad man… Does he screw it up? Yes ... What is a troublemaker? Also ... but unlike many others ... Po has enough face to give it, and sometimes remedy, by himself, the mistakes he makes, and let's be honest ... He has done worse things than yesterday ... he did what he thought he was better at the time, just have an active bomb in your hands and try not to react like the

- Yes, if viper I understand that but-

- Besides ... You know how Po is, even a little, think things over before doing them ... which is surprising that even so it backfires ... but it's because ... well, It's Po ... at the end of the day, he It is the same ... what happens in his head, we should not always understand it ... but you can be sure that what happens in his heart ... will never disappoint us ...

- ... Thank you viper, really ... I needed someone to listen to me, even a little ... by the way, now that I react, weren't you on surveillance? - At this the feline raised one of her eyebrows, who received only a short laugh from the reptile

- Yes, but we returned until not long ago, in fact, I am surprised that you did not realize it, it is already enough night

This was enough for Tigress to quickly turn her head towards the walls that faced the outside of the barracks, this only made her mentally hit her head.

- Ray! Po! - This barely could, got out of bed, and went at a rather hurried pace to the entrance of his room, and when he opened the doors of this, he found himself face to face, with his teacher, being accompanied by Crane, who barely They saw her ready to run through her door, she stood still at her entrance, watching them both without saying a single word - ... Ammm ... Is something wrong, master?

- Nothing bad ... Tigress teacher, we just came to look for her. We must retreat, now - Said this moving away, already prepared to leave in the direction of the woods

- But ... Master right now I have a small commitment that - I do not finish speaking, she was interrupted by the red panda

- I'm sorry teacher, but you must wait ... as I said, we must go now ..

Although Tigress really wanted to go and fulfill what she had said to Po that afternoon ... she was somewhat cornered, and if she was honest with herself, she was not yet ready for others to know her current situation towards the panda, so that defeated, dropping her tail and ears a little, she nodded, releasing a rather heavy sigh through her nose, bowing slightly - Understood master ... -

- Well ... now we go ... we must find that Doom Slayer - She started her walk, before retiring, Tigress directed a quick glance towards Viper who was still in her room, giving him signs not to worry, she would explain what Whatever had happened, Po, although he did not know a bit, had remembered that Tigress asked him to speak with her, it was just a matter of looking for the panda and telling him that he could not until after he returned ... but as much as I look for Po ... did not find it ... nowhere
.

.

.

Later that night

.

.

.

It would surely be the 3rd turn that the teachers made around the entire valley, and although it was already past midnight, there was nothing, not a single sign of the presence of the Doom Slayer that had been mentioned so much in those scrolls, such Once they had been wrong, but Master was determined to find whoever committed such barbarism against those wolves

- Master Crane, I want you to go ahead, search the sky for something that looks out of the ordinary - I order

- Yes Master Shifu - I salute, and soon it was that he spread his wings, and took flight, leaving both remaining masters on the ground

Although Master concealed it, he did not take his eye off Tigress, it was not too difficult for him to decipher her, since he was the one who had raised her, however, if he thought about it a bit, he was not really capable of acting in such a way. Fatherly to her, at least not after the way he's been to her after so long… but he couldn't be blamed… could he? ... He did not want to repeat what he did in the past, and that Tigress was a striped Tai Lung ... it was somewhat confusing, but soon it was that he was distracted from his thoughts, due to a sigh not far from him, by the time he account, he found the master of the tiger style, holding in her hands a kind of flower, with few petals, but that soon she began to remove it one by one ... it was very strange indeed,

- Master? - He turned his head, finding himself not far from him, rather, walking to one side of him, this caused him to keep the flower in his vest, before it straightened up, and took a breath in his lungs

- Master Tigress ... Is there anything that has you in doubt? - Asked this, making her eyes widen, wanting to avoid the question - More precisely, is there something that worries you?

- If I'm honest with you, master ... I don't want to talk about it, right now - He rubbed the back of his neck a little, something seemed to be bothering him, but Shifu, he insisted

- Does it have to do with your engagement? - He asked, with one of his eyebrows arched, both without stopping with their advance, it still did not answer, but still, Master insisted again - ... Does it have to do with the dragon warrior?

"Okay, that last, is already a personal question" The teacher of the style of the Tiger said to herself, and nothing that was already turning to see his face and answer in a "calm" way to his questions, however, to By that time, Crane had returned, and he seemed to be a bit agitated

- Master Crane, what's wrong? - Shifu asked quite agitated, approaching, trying to make him calm down, but then, recovering the air, the bird stretched one of its wings, and pointed slowly towards a large row of trees and bushes not far from them - There is teacher ... there it is - He answered this

Both masters, confused, directed their gazes towards where he was pointing ... and there they were seeing it, a scarlet red flash that was protruding from the bushes, Master's hand was slightly raised, and in no time, this next to the two others rushed to go there, and just cautiously peeked over these bushes ... it was that they saw him there ... an entity of outstanding stature, and muscular mass alike, wearing that armor so ... so strange for its appearance (For those who wonder what kind of armor it is, it is the Praetor armor of the 2016 Doom Guy and the Eternal) but the most worrying thing was the sword that was carrying, full of all those rare marks that the bliss blade had, no It seems to be going somewhere in particularhe was just doing the duty of a "guardian" that was to watch ... well he did that, he walked, and his gaze wandered everywhere

- Let's follow him .. silently - Master said, followed by this, he received a small nod from the other two teachers next to him, and among the bushes, and the darkest shadows of the night, they followed him silently

He did nothing more than that, walking around the limits of the valley of peace, again and again, by this point, it would surely be the second time that night that he crossed the rivers that surrounded the valley, and now, it seems to be that he was going to retire at night, because he broke the circle that he had been marking for a while, and began to walk slowly to the other side, as expected, the teachers were still behind him, because they had to know, to Where was this going, if it had a hiding place near the valley of peace, the minutes of walking passed, and once again it did not seem that the Doom Slayer was leaving the site, but differently from that, he went to find himself in a kind of clearing between the bamboo forests, in this saying there was a tree of average height, as well as its leaves ... but most importantly,It was the rock that was at the foot of the trunk of this, that was when the Doom Slayer (For the next chapter it will be said only Slayer) went to pose in front of this same rock, leaving his sword stuck in the ground ... there he stayed , his scarlet irises were staring at the bliss, with enough attention, it even seemed that his eyebrows were arched because of how little of these irises was seen ... but soon ... this turned his head towards the tree, taking his sword again ... and I search, along its trunk, until I find what I was looking for ... a kind of heart ... carved on top of it, more said it was made not with a knife, but with a claw ... a small feline claw ... his hand, he went to rest on said heart ... and he caressed it gentlyIt was then that the Doom Slayer (For the next chapter it will be called Slayer only) went to pose in front of this same rock, leaving his sword stuck in the ground ... there he stayed, his scarlet irises were staring at the bliss, with enough attention, it even seemed that his eyebrows were arched by how little of these irises could be seen ... but soon ... he turned his head towards the tree, taking up his sword again ... he searched, and searched, along its trunk, until it gave with what he was looking for ... a kind of heart ... carved on top of him, but said it was made not with a knife, but with a claw ... a small feline claw ... his hand, went to rest on said heart ... and gently caressed itIt was then that the Doom Slayer (For the next chapter it will be called Slayer only) went to pose in front of this same rock, leaving his sword stuck in the ground ... there he stayed, his scarlet irises were staring at the bliss, with enough attention, it even seemed that his eyebrows were arched by how little of these irises could be seen ... but soon ... he turned his head towards the tree, taking up his sword again ... he searched, and searched, along its trunk, until it gave with what he was looking for ... a kind of heart ... carved on top of him, but said it was made not with a knife, but with a claw ... a small feline claw ... his hand, went to rest on said heart ... and gently caressed itleaving his sword stuck in the ground ... there he stayed, his scarlet irises were staring at the bliss, with enough attention, it even seemed that his eyebrows were arched by how little of these irises was seen ... but soon ... this head turned towards the tree, taking his sword again ...

These actions were confusing the teachers quite a bit, to the point of making them hide behind the trees where they were, hoping not to be seen while in their minds they were coming up with slightly crazy theories, but soon, Tigress was the first to speak.

- Master, what does this mean ... we were following him for hours around the valley and everything so that ... To see him coming to this place? -

- More importantly, because here, because this tree ... Could it be that this guy has an appreciation for the tree or something? - Crane continued, maintaining a tone and volume to his voice very similar to that of Tigress

- Possibly ... although that does not explain his previous round ... Could it be that he protects the valley? ... Because ... that this place is special for him ... well, I think for the moment, we can end up here for today ... we couldn't talk With him, however, we should not because - He could not follow his prayer, because as soon as he turned to see Crane, he was petrified in his place, making him confuse, just like Tigress when she managed to see him - What is the Crane master?

- ... Um ... I think ... that guy knows we're here

- Why? why you say? - Asked Tigress, who soon began to turn to where the guy was ... only for his eyelids to open suddenly ... and an uncontrollable and involuntary fear, began to invade his being

The Doom Slayer, had turned in the direction they were in, precise and current, Master was the next to turn, and soon, inevitably, the same feeling that his students were experiencing, he experienced, something was in him. indicating that they could be in imminent danger, but ... Could it really be like that? ... there was that entity, in the same place, static, with those eyes ... those creepy scarlet eyes staring at them, those irises ... by God those irises , they were uncomfortably penetrating ... but outside of launching to attack them, behind his back, a kind of crack opened, and slowly backing away, the Doom Slayer crossed it, only so that after doing so, this crack closed, dropping the three masters to the ground on their knees, each shedding tears in heaps, panting,and lacking self-control… it was as if… all the happiness in the world had vanished from one moment to the next… and was replaced with pain… an overwhelming and frightening pain

- … What? … What was that? - Asked Tigress, who was trying to control herself, but even her own legs, and her entire body, were trembling in an extremely violent way - What the hell ... is that thing ...

- ... I don't know ... I don't know - Shifu replied, looking towards where he was previously looking at the Doom Slayer
