Chapter 4 : Warning
The next morning we find Raizo meditating on top of a stone platform. He considered meditating some more because it was only 5 a.m. in the morning and they get up at 7. However a certain panda has suddenly awoken first for a well deserved 'snack'. Raizo noticed Po but didn´t move. As Po thought he could sneak past Raizo he slowly tiptoed across the training hall. He thought since Raizo´s back was turned towards Po that he would be able to pass him. But as soon as he was half way across Raizo surprised him. „Good morning , Dragon Warrior." – Po was startled and slightly jumped at his sudden greeting. „Good Morning to you too Raizo and please , call me Po , I hate formalities." - „Okay , whatever you say. Po." – Raizo slowly jumped off the platform , and when he was off , it instantly dissolved into dust. „So , what are you doing up so early hmmmm?" – he asked Po. „Well I thought I´d get myself a little snack and then make breakfast for everyone." - „Oh , okay then. Well if you need help just ask." Then Raizo walked outside for some fresh air. He had been meditating all the time Po was done 'snacking' and making breakfast he went out to the Peach Tree to meditate a bit himself. However he noticed that something , or should I say some'one' was missing.
„Hey Raizo , do you know where Master Shifu is?!" - „I´m right here , Po." – Shifu suddenly said right behind the panda scaring him a bit. „Oh , Master Shifu , I-I didn´t see you." – Shifu just sat down next to Po saying nothing. Some time later it was almost 7 and Shifu decided to greet his students. Tigress was already up waiting for the gong , Viper , Crane , Monkey and Mantis were all just waking up. Tigress has been thinking all night about something. „I don´t know if I should just tell him or not. He would probably turn me down , because let´s face it who would love an emotionless monster like me that doesn´t even feel pain." – Putting her head in her hands she felt a couple tears flow as well. But what she didn´t know was that Po was having similar issues. „How much longer can I be a coward? I can´t even look at her without stuttering and turning red." - „You know what , I´ll just tell him and hope for the best. Yeah that´s what I´ll do." Having said that Tigress walked out of her room and over to Po´s room. She knocked a couple times and asked „Po? Po you awake?" – No sound. „He must still be asleep." she thought. She gently slid his room door open and looked inside. Empty. She began to wonder where he could´ve gone to. „If you are looking for Po he´s at the Peach Tree meditating." – Raizo said leaning against te hallway wall. She hadn´t noticed him and jumped when she heard him talk. „Geez Raizo stop scaring people like that. But thanks I´ll go talk to him then."
„Okay , sure you do that." Raizo wondered why she needed to talk to Po all of a sudden. And then it hit him. „Oh she is soooo falling for him." He thought with a smile forming on his face. Tigress exited the palace and saw Po at the Peach Tree meditating peacefully. „Okay it´s now or never Tigress you can do it." She thought as she approached. She was just a few steps away from him now.
„Uh , P-Po can we , you know , t-talk?" She asked fighting off the blush that was forming and tried to mask her shyness as much as possible. „Hm? Oh Tigress it´s you. Yeah of course we can talk." Said Po now turning his attention to Tigress. She sat down right next to him which made both of them blush. „Something bothering you Tigress?" he asked trying to fight off the blush as well.
„Uhmm y-yes say Po how would you go about telling someone that..." She tried to continue but got lost in his eyes instead. Po waved his hand in front of her to get her attention. „Tigress? Tigress , you there?" - She finally snapped out of her trance. „Huh? Oh Po sorry about that." She blushed so much that you could actually see it through her fur. „No problem , Tigress. Anyways , you were saying?"
„Wha- oh right yeah where was I , um... h-how would you tell someone that you , y-you know , love them?" He was surprised by her question but also a bit sad. „Great she already fell in love with someone. Oh well as long as that makes her happy." he thought. „Well let´s see if I were you I would just straight up say it." - „B-but he´s a friend and I´m afraid that I´d ruin our friendship if I just said it." - „Tigress..." – Now he was blushing more. „...if he really is your friend he wouldn´t mind. If you were , hypothetically , in love with me I wouldn´t mind." - She was shocked at his response. "Y-you wouldn´t?" – "No , not at all."
"Well that´s great because I…" She slowly took his hand with hers "I… I love you , Po." She was now blushing so much she thought she was going to pass out. "D-did I just hear what I think I heard?"
"C-come again?" Po was trying to wrap his head around the situation.
"I mean if you don´t feel the same about me I understand. But just so you know." She was a bit sad now.
"Don´t feel the same wha- , Tigress I´ve been in love with you ever since Master Oogway first announced the members of the Furious Five. I just didn´t think you could ever love me back because look at me. I´m just a big fat panda." – Tigress was shocked at what he just said. She put her paw on his cheek and planted a kiss on his lips , tears of joy flowing freely down her face. Po´s eyes widened in shock but soon he melted into the kiss. After what seemed like years they broke the kiss for some much needed air. She then looked straight into his eyes. "Po , you´re not fat , and besides I find that… cute. I love you Po and I honestly don´t care what you look like." Po couldn´t speak. He was at a loss for words. He wiped her tears with his thumb then just leaned in and kissed her , but this time it was more passionate. He put his arms around her waist and she put hers around his neck as they melted into the kiss. They didn´t know that two pairs of eyes were watching the newly formed couple. One pair belonged to Raizo and the other to Shifu. Raizo thought to himself with a smile on his face "I knew they would come together eventually." Shifu just stared at the couple happy that his daughter finally found someone to love. Both of them returned to the palace to check on the rest of the five.
"Now there is a problem though." Po started "We can´t keep this a secret for too long. And how are we going to tell Shifu if he doesn´t find out himself. If he does I´m dead."
"How do you know he will kill you if he finds out?" – Tigress countered his statement "He might be happy for me , who knows. Now come on It´s almost lunch time let´s go." – Tigress helped Po stand up and they walked to the palace hand in hand.
"Should I tell them Shifu?" – Raizo wanted to inform the rest of the five about the situation.
"No , you won´t. I will." – As they reached the training hall Shifu called the five "Students I have some good news." – Monkey , Crane , Viper and Mantis all gathered in front of Shifu.
"What is it Master? Are we getting a day off?" – Monkey asked with hope in his eyes.
"No this doesn´t concern training. It´s about Tigress." – Shifu said as a tiny smile crept upon his face.
"What about her Master?" – Viper asked wondering.
"I believe she has found love after all this time." – As soon as Shifu said that their eyes widened.
"But don´t say anything to her yet." – He wanted to tell her that he was happy for her first.
"Is she with Po?" – Viper asked hoping the answer would be yes.
"Yes she is Viper." – his ears twitched as the two approached the palace. "Now pretend you don´t know anything. They´re coming."
As soon as they entered Raizo attempted to take all their attention. "So , now that we are all here I have something important to discuss with all of you." – He was interrupted as Mantis´ stomach suddenly growled. Po responded "Okay we will talk later we don´t want good old Mantis to die from starvation now do we?" – Soon everyone was laughing at Mantis , even Tigress laughed. Mantis just shrugged and replied "Well you can´t blame me for having an appetite." They all soon entered the dining room to wait for lunch. Po was in a very good mood so he decided to make his secret ingredient soup for everyone. When he was done he served everyone and they all dug into their bowls. Even Raizo tried the soup and was blown by the taste and smell. "Wow , Po you have got to give me the recipe for this thing."
"What for Raizo you can´t cook. Can you?" – Po wondered
"Okay wait right here I´ll be right back." – He then left to grab his bag and pulled out a book.(yes they have books in Japan)He went back inside and presented Po with his own recipe book. Po was shocked at the size of it. It must´ve had over 500 pages or something. He placed the book on the table and said "1674 recipes. Memorize these and you are a professional chef." Po was dumbfounded "W-wow , that many recipes huh." – "Yeah."
"You can have it I already memorized all of them." – Raizo said giving the book to Po.
"Wow gee thanks I´ll look at it later." – he put it aside on the kitchen table.
After a bunch of jokes and pranks lunch was over and they all relaxed.
"Now I said I´d have something important to discuss with you guys."
"Okay then shoot." Po said.
"Alright , first of all does anyone know what the rebel god´s name is?" – he was met with a silence.
"So I guess that´s a no. Okay well his name is Kar-Len and he was the one sealed within the earth if you remember." Everyone just nodded. "Good so here´s the thing , the seal that keeps him underground is perfect but it´s starting to… weaken." Everyone´s eyes widened and they gasped.
"So does that mean-" Po started but was cut off by Raizo "Yes it means that he is coming back for his scrolls and as far as I know , I have two scrolls and I will go hunting for the rest but what bothers me is that the time of his arrival is still undefined because the seal takes a random amount of time to completely break." – Everyone looked at each other then back at Raizo. "And if he gets his hands on all of them…" he thought about the possibility and shuddered "…he will no doubt destroy everything. But that´s why I´m here as well. I will prepare everyone for the upcoming war. Either that or we go scroll hunting."
"And how is it that you will prepare us for the war?" – Viper said not really believing him.
"I have my ways. First I will divide the elements for each of you , then you will train to master the control over your element since the transfer isn´t going to be complete. Then I will personally link my chi with all of yours to make sure that none of you dies in battle."
"And how do you plan on keeping us alive?" – Po stated having hope in what he will do.
"That´s simple. Since I used the Scroll of Life on myself my chi will instantly heal anything it touches so you will always be safe. As for the elements well I thought about it and I came up with this :
Tigress , you will get the element of fire , considering you are always ready to fight.
Viper , you will get the element of earth purely because speed and defense are two crucial stats in a war.
Crane , you will get the element of wind because you already have the power to control it as I´ve seen and you will be good for quick long range scouting and crowd control.
Monkey , you will get the element of water because we will always need time when dealing with pressure and wounds.
And Mantis , you will get the element of lightning because your acupuncture skill mixed with electric shock attacks makes a pretty sweet assassination combo , perfect for infiltrations and spying."
"And what about me?" – Po asked sad that he seemed to forget about him.
"Ah but you , Po , you will get a combo element. One that I´ve created myself. You will get the element of light , because with it you will be able to not only support everyone , but also heal other people with whom I will not have connected my chi."
"Awesome!" – Po was clearly excited about everything.
"Okay I believe that is all , you may return to your training now." – Shifu finished the conversation.
"Yes Master!" The five and Po shouted and returned to their duties.
