Chapter 5 : Broken Bonds

"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.

Raizo returned to meditating right outside the palace entrance. Everybody was training individually today. For some reason he kept sensing something , like it was pulling on him. Not a moment later his eyes widen as he remembers who he sensed. Narrowing his eyes in anger and expectation he then sensed the same thing just behind him in the training hall. It was coming for Po. Closing his eyes he relaxed , using the shadow dodge technique he appeared behind Po just in time to pull him away and drawing his sword he leaned it against the intruders neck. Giving the new intruder a glance he grins. Looking down he sees the intruder´s sword pointed at his gut. Everyone just stared at the two in shock and awe. Suddenly Raizo pulled away his sword and sheathed it moving the intruders sword away in the process. Motioning everyone to stay put he walked a circle around the intruder. He was wearing the complete opposite of Raizo , he wore black clothing covering his entire body except for the eyes. And Raizo wore white clothing that covered his body from the neck downwards , since he decided not to wear the mask anymore. Giving the intruder one final glance Raizo said – "So you finally decided to show up…" They suddenly shook hands "…brother." Everyone was frozen stiff. "Brother?!" Everyone thought. "It has been a long time hasn´t it , Raizo?" said his brother. "But I´m afraid I don´t have much time on my hands." – "And why is that?" Raizo wondered.

"Because I- , oh why don´t I just show you then." Ripping his right arm sleeve off he showed Raizo the strange symbol on his shoulder. Raizo´s eyes widened as the realization hit him. "N-no… he can do that already?! At this rate…we wont be able to find all the scrolls in time." – "Whoa , don't lose hope yet Raizo , here take this." He pulled out a scroll from his back pocket. Raizo wondered what it was and opened it. Eyes wide he looked at his brother then at the scroll again.

"What , what is going on?!" – Po asked in a whisper. He instantly got shushed.

Raizo couldn't believe his eyes. In front of him , was the map that revealed the locations of the remaining celestial scrolls. "S-seriously? How , and where?" he wanted answers.

"I stole it from 'his' lair when I had the chance. After all he had to drag me in there so he could give me this-this curse." Said his brother gripping his right shoulder in pain. "I don't think I´ll be able to hold on any longer. You know what to do , Raizo-GAHHHH!"The curse was slowly eating away his sanity and strength. He held his head in his hands as his right eye turned a dark purple color. "I guess this is it for me. Until we meet again , brother." – Before Raizo could do anything , he disappeared into the shadows before his left eye turned purple. Raizo just stood there , the map still in his hands. Then he suddenly knelt down and he knew , then and there that he had lost his brother to the corruption. And what´s worse , the unbreakable bond was now shattered into bits. He knew he couldn't sense his brother´s presence anymore. He slowly stood up remembering the time he spent with his brother at the Azuni temple , and the day the bond was made.

Flashback :

"Raizo , Shin! Come my children!"- as soon as he said those words they both appeared in front of him.

"Yes , sensei?" – they both answered at the same time.

"It is time." – At this statement both Raizo´s and Shin´s eyes widened. They were both given a dagger and a scroll. They both cut a straight line through their right paw with the dagger and at the same time recited a piece of the Blood Oath from the scroll. -"Shi ha anata no shimobe ni nari masu seikatsuanata no tanjouseki piasu kende no shoutotsumade warewareha eien ni jikan de mippuu sa re masu."-

With that done they connected their wounds together and both of them healed , leaving a scar where they used to be. "No matter where you are , you will always know where your brother is."

And with that the Blood Oath was complete and the bond was sealed. They were now blood brothers , and nothing could separate them.

End of flashback

He then turned around , gave the map to Po and said "We leave in a week. Get as much training and rest as you can. Because we are NOT coming back home until we get the three remaining scrolls."

He then exited the palace and went to the Peach Tree to meditate and clear his mind. A little while later training was over and the five and Po all ran over to Raizo.

"Okay , can anyone tell me what just happened back there? And who was that guy?" – Po was confused.

"That guy , Po , was my older brother. His name is Shin. When I was first introduced into the Azuni clan I was greeted by my sensei , Kyora , and older brother , Shin , who was previously adopted by Kyora. At first we weren't that close , me and my brother , but as time passed on , we eventually created a bond , and the Blood Oath only made that bond stronger. And the only thing that could ever sever that bond was the corruption curse. And even then it wouldn't be destroyed completely."

"Okay I get it now. And who is 'him'?" – the panda continued to interrogate.

"'He' is the one that obtained all of the scrolls once. You might know him as Taren ,and he seems to be back. You see when the gods punished him they forgot to rid him of his abilities , so he just layed there in his grave collecting chi. Once he had enough he used it to start reviving himself. His plan now is to gather an army using the corruption curse to get all the 5 scrolls , and then combine them."

"They can be combined?!"- Po was now more than confused.

"Yes , and the result is a scroll that allows the user to become a god himself , The Scroll of Divinity. With it , Taren plans on taking down every god that exists and shape the earth in his own liking."

"This sounds worse and worse by the minute." – Tigress was now the one to speak.

"Yes , yes it does , because if he is able to imprint the curse on people now , Kar-Len will be released in less than four months."

"That's nearly enough time!" – Po was now very worried.

"That's what I thought too , until Shin gave me the map. It will tell us where the rest of the scrolls are located. By the look of it , it will only take us a little longer than two weeks to get all the scrolls. And that's more than enough time to me."

"Don't you worry , brother. I will find you , and I will bring you back , I promise."

And there we go another chapter done , and it didn't even take that long. XD (of course it didn´t cuz it´s short duh)

ANYWAY… What´s this secret sixth scroll all about? Find out in Chapter 6 : Forgotten Past.

And for those that don´t know the piece from the Blood Oath is roughly translated to :

'Death will be your servant and life will be your birthstone , until our swords clash and pierce , we will forever be sealed in time.'

Anyways please READ AND REVIEW (AGAIN) THANKS

BYE!
