Me: "Need...to...finish...this...story..."
Po: "Well...looks like our lovely author is a little tired right now, but we hope you enjoy the chapter."
Me: "Ughhhhhhh..."
Chapter 5: Long Trip
"And we're off!" Tigress exclaimed, with the ships finally leaving the Valley of Peace and making their way toward Mystic City.
"Soooo...do you guys think we can make it through this?" asked Crane, who was wondering if they could actually take on this new threat that they would soon face.
"I'm pretty sure we'll make it, Crane. Look at all of the masters we have on our side. Heck, I would say we're pretty good masters ourselves, right?" responded Viper, her voice showing confidence that they'll make it through this. It was a peaceful conversation until the group noticed Monkey, who looked like he was worried about something.
"No, no, no! I forgot to bring something!" Monkey screamed, making Mantis reply in a confused tone. "What is it?"
"M-m-MY ALMOND COOKIES! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Monkey's scream could possibly be heard from the heavens, as he was clearly frustrated with not brining his almond cookies. Tigress' reaction was simply a facepalm and nothing else.
A couple of hours later...
Nothing had really changed since the the group set sail with the other masters. Throughout those couple of hours, Monkey was going insane because he didn't have his almond cookies, Mantis was getting impatient, Tigress kept facepalming herself, and Po was disturbing Master Shifu's meditation sessions. It seemed like Viper and Crane were the only one's in the group that acted like they had some common sense. Oh yeah, and there was also a groovy storm to help with everybody's moods. Isn't that great?
"UGH! HOW LONG IS THIS TRIP?!" Mantis spoke in an impatient tone.
"Does your patience wander off into a forest, or is it just me?" said Viper, clearly annoyed with Mantis' impatience.
Mantis tried to calm down by taking a deep breath. "Sorry...I just need some action, you know? How long have we been sailing, anyway?"
Viper rolled her eyes. "It's only been a couple of hours. Chill out. We'll get there soon enough."
As the two were speaking, Tigress noticed something that was coming in the distance. "Uh, guys. I think I see something coming our way."
"IS IT MAH ALMOND COOKIES?!" Monkey said excitedly, but soon after he said that, he was being chased by an angry Tigress. "IF YOU SAY ONE MORE THING ABOUT YOUR FREAKING ALMOND COOKIES, I'M GONNA..."
"LOOK OUT!" cried Viper, seeing multiple missles coming at the ships at high speeds. Suddenly, Po quickly noticed this and jumped in the air. With the Sword of Heroes, he sliced a lot of them in half like they were sushi. Po couldn't slice them all, however, because a few of the missiles still hit the other ships. Explosions were coming from everywhere, and everybody made sure not to get hit by these missiles. Almost everybody was focused on the task at hand.
Well, except for Tigress, who was clearly amazed at what Po just did. "Wow..." Tigress spoke in her head, but then she quickly snapped out of it when Viper was screaming at her.
"TIGRESS!" Viper yelled, putting Tigress back into reality.
"Huh? Oh, I'm on it!" the embarrased tiger spoke, finally snapped out of it. One missle was coming her way, and she gracefully kicked it into the water.
"Where is this coming from?!" Master Croc spoke out.
"Isn't that one of Shen's cannons?" Master Ox replied, trying his best to fight off the missles like everybody else. When Master Ox said this, Po had a slight headache and held his head.
"Po?!" Tigress ran over to Po's side to make sure he was alright. While doing that, more missiles were incoming, and now it was Crane's time to shine. "WINGS OF JUSTICE!" Using his signature move, Crane blew a lot of the missles away, but then he noticed that enemy ships were now attactched to the good guys' ships.
"Bandits!" Viper cried out, but they mainly surrounded Monkey. "We're here to throw you guys overboard! Oh, and get some almond cookies while we're at it." said the bandits, but they will soon realize that they shouldn't have said that to Monkey. His eyes completely widened when he heard they came for almond cookies.
"Almond cookies? Did you say almond cookies...?" Monkey asked slowly.
"Yes, sir! With or without nuts?" the bandits wanted to make sure their cookies had nuts, but that only pushed Monkey to his limits.
"Almond cookies...almond cookies...ALLLLMOOOOOOONNNDDDDDD COOOOOOOOKKKKIEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" Monkey yelled crazily, his fist now in the air as he became literally insane. He slapped all of the bandits, kicked them in the nuts, punched them in their jaws, and finally threw all of them overboard with his tail. To end with his rampage, he started making monkey-like sounds.
"Everybody! A tsunami is approaching!" Admist all of the action, Shifu noticed a tsunami that was coming at rapid speeds. Everybody had shocked looks on their faces, because they didn't know how to stop a tsunami.
"Well, we're screwed." Master Antelope said, while the tsunami was inching closer and closer with each second. Everybody tried to think of a quick plan, but nobody could come up with one. When Po saw the tsunami getting closer, he jumped off the boat and tried to slice the tsunami in half. He still had his headache, which hindered him a bit, as he could only do it for so long. With each slash Po did, it just seemed like the tsunami kept getting bigger and bigger.
"Welp, this looks like the end." Mantis outright stated, making the group give a quick death glare at him. "What?" he replied.
Soon, the tsunami overcame the ships and they were all underwater. Everybody that was on the ships looked like they were dead people. Po opened his eyes, realizing that he and everybody else were drowning.
"It will not end like this..."
A voice came into Po's head, and suddenly his eyes glowed a golden color. His pupils disappeared. and the storm was slowing down qucikly. Then, Po put his fists together and somehow, someway, the ships were afloat again. It was like a dream, but it really wasn't. Everybody was knocked out for a good while, before waking up. It was night time when everybody woke up.
"Is everybody alright?" Po said, still holding his head.
"What happened?" Mantis asked.
"I'm not sure...but something came over me and I saved all of us. It was a weird feeling I got, but yet I felt powerful at the same time." replied Po.
"The spirit of Master Oogway..." Shifu muttered under his breath, but nobody could hear him.
"Let's just get some rest, everybody. We all need it right about now," said Master Croc, and everybody replied with an agreeing nod. Everyone went to sleep except for Po and Tigress.
