It was a few days since Po has defeated Lord Shen and his army of wolves. He also remembered that epic moment when he found inner peace. The moment when he grabbed that cannon ball and flung it into the air. But he also remembered the moment when that cannon fell on Shen. He knew it might have been for the best, but he did feel a bit guilty that he wasn't capable of pushing Shen out of the way so he can help him change his ways. He suddenly heard the voice of his dad, Mr. Ping.
''Po? Po you alright?'' Mr. Ping asked Po with a hint of worry in his eyes.
''Oh...OH...eh..sorry dad. I was just daydreaming again.'' Po tried to sound cheerful, even though deep inside he wasn't.
Mr. Ping gave Po a suspicious look. ''Okay then.''
As Po and Mr. Ping continued cooking, Po suddenly heard the voice of Tigress.
''Po! Come quick, Master Shifu wants you up in the Jade Palace right now. He wants to talk to you about that inner peace thing.'' Tigress explained.
Po sighed. ''Alright then. Duty calls. Sorry dad, I gotta go.'' Po waved goodbye to his dad.
Mr. Ping waved goodbye to Po and then focused again on his cooking.
Po followed Tigress up the huge stairs of the Jade Palace. Po stopped to catch his breath an awful lot of times along the way, but finally he made it to the top. Master Shifu stood at the entrance gates of the Jade Palace, waiting patiently for Po and Tigress.
''Po, you made it. Thank you Tigress for bringing him here. You may now go.'' Master Shifu said and ordered Tigress to leave them.
Tigress nodded and walked to the training room of the Jade Palace to do some training.
''So, Tigress said you wanted to talk to me about that inner peace thing? Is that right, Master?'' Po asked.
''Yes, that's right. Po I must say that was amazing. You found inner peace at indeed a very young age to be exact, but...how did you do it?'' Master Shifu asked.
When Master Shifu asked Po on how did he do it, memories instantly raced into his mind. When Shen lay on the deck of his ship, asking Po how did he find peace.
''Panda? Panda!''
''W-wah? Oh sorry, I...I must have dozed off again.'' Po said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Shifu sighed. ''Okay then. So my question was, how did you find inner peace?''
''Well, em...I found inner peace by letting go of my past. Shen was there the last time I saw my parents, and that's what kept me from finding peace. Shen's Soothsayer helped me to stop fighting it. I did have a little help finding it.'' Po explained, still feeling a little nervous.
''Interesting. Well I suggest you go to the training room and train a while. The Furious Five is there waiting for you.'' Master Shifu suggested.
Po nodded and walked to the training room to meet up with Tigress, Viper, Monkey, Crane and Mantis.
