Hello everyone here´s another chapter. I figured that the first bunch of chapters are going to be introductory chapters to explain the things that confuse you or leave your brain processing so much that it hurts. Anyway I think this is the final introductory chapter for now , the real challenges will be the next dozen or so chapters because I´ll need to pay attention to what happens first.

Anyways I already have a ton of ideas about this story. But at this rate I figured I won't have enough content to even get 30 chapters done. But hey I´m only starting so I still have much to learn.

Please READ AND REVIEW!

Chapter 6 : Forgotten Past

Three days have passed since the sudden appearance of Raizo´s brother and things are slowly going according to plan. Everyone was resting and relaxing today since the plan was to train one day and rest the other day. It was now lunch time and Po was still trying to understand everything that happened a few days ago. So Raizo wanted to explain as much as he could , but even he didn't know everything. With everyone now at the table eating lunch he started up a conversation.

"So , are you still confused about everything that happened Po?" – he wanted to make sure everyone was ready to know.

"You didn't tell us they could be combined!" – Everyone nodded in agreement to Po´s statement."

"Well I was planning on leaving that part out until it was time to tell you everything , and now is the time so…" – he stalled a bit here "…I figured I would tell you now."

"Okay then tell us everything." – the five and Po all said in unison which further convinced Raizo.

"Okay I will start with an ancient story about a connection between gods and mortals. My sensei used to tell me and my brother this story when we were kids. It goes something like this :

'Thousands of years ago when the gods were , with the help of the mortals , forging the earth. You know as in creating ancient civilizations and making the earth a better place to live in. But the world was yet not at peace with itself because there was always someone that wanted to take everything for himself. That eventually led to a child which was scarred for life at the sight of his dead family lying in a pool of their own blood. He was horrified beyond recognition as his soul was slowly ripped apart. He fled his village and roamed the earth believing that it could never be at peace. He could never again feel anything else but pain and anger. Any emotion other than that was forgotten. He wanted to stop all of it , all of the conflict and sorrow in the world. That man´s name was Kar-Len. With the gods overhearing his mind´s thoughts they gave him a chance to stop the wars. But what they didn't know is that deep inside he still yearned for fighting and conflict himself and that feeling started to surface right after his family´s death. They then made a scroll which was capable of turning a mortal into a god , but it could only be used once , after which it disintegrates. He slowly started to 'cleanse' the world of the pain and conflict. He thought everything would be fine now but he was wrong. For what he had done only worsened the pain and further encouraged war. Then he decided that as long as there is love in this world , there could never be peace. As long as there was someone you had to protect , there would always be someone that wanted to take that away from you. So he thought that , if he couldn't do it , then he would gift his power to a single mortal that would find a way to stop all of this forever. Although he never fully trusted the mortals , he was sure that they would stop war and pain. However his urge and need for conflict and battles had fogged his mind and made him forget everything he had and everything he was as a mortal. He then created the five Celestial Scrolls as a means of transferring his power to mortals. He also secretly knew that if this went too far then he implemented an ancient spell on each of the scrolls so that when it was time they could be combined and make the same scroll that he used to become a god so that he could be stopped. When he gave Taren the scrolls he didn't tell him that they could be combined , purely because his soul was still not completely destroyed and he knew in his heart that Taren wasn't going to fix anything , but his anger and lust for battle was too strong so he just let him do what he so wanted. By the time China was almost completely destroyed , his anger overtook him completely. Taren was able to forge a curse with the help of the scrolls that would cloud one's mind and technically make them Taren's servants. The gods saw this and punished both Taren and Kar-Len before they could do any more damage to the earth. But they forgot to rid Taren of his abilities that the scrolls gave him , and since the only one that can destroy the scrolls was the one that created them in the first place , the gods then decided to scatter the scrolls around China in hopes that no one would come to find the scrolls again." – Everyone needed a moment to process what he just said.

"S-so Kar-Len was actually a-a mortal?" – Tigress asked holding Po´s hand.

"Yes , but his memory of the time as a mortal was erased due to his rage and lust for war."

"And wouldn't Taren be doing a good thing by stopping Kar-Len?" – Crane wanted to join in on the talk.

"In a way , yes , but he also wants to destroy every other god and that wouldn't be good."

"No , not at all." – Po added scratching the back of his head.

"Okay since you know everything now , I figured it would be time to prepare you for the adventure."

"What adventure?" – Mantis actually forgot about it.

"We are going to find the rest of the scrolls remember?" – Viper said smacking him on the head.

"Ohhh okay-OW! I know now." – In the meantime Raizo prepared everything for the transfer.

"Okay all set. Now I will need everyone except Shifu to step forward. Everyone did just that.

Raizo then created a ball of chi. "Okay I hope you don't mind but I will need some of your chi for this to work."

"Go ahead we don't mind." – Tigress said.

"Okay i´ll need you to close your eyes and relax , you might feel weak for a bit but that's necessary."

They nodded and did as he said. Then he slowly started to extract their chi and put it in his ball of chi. When he was done separated the ball into 6 different pieces. Each glowing a different color , red , blue , brown , white , yellow , and orange. He then pushed the balls of chi into each of their bodies. It was finally over and he told them to open their eyes.

"Now the elements are imbedded into your soul and chi. Now go and train , you will need to perfect the connection between your chi and element since it wasn't a complete transfer. Po! Your turn!" Everyone went into the training hall to test their new elements.

"In four days we will start our journey to collect the rest of the scrolls. Until then hone your skills." Raizo said to himself quietly looking at the five and Po training. He then went to the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom to clear his mind and meditate. Shifu was there too.

"So , how did it go?" – He asked Raizo.

"It is complete , now they need to strengthen their bond between their chi and element. However the training hall is not a very suitable place to train like that don't you think Shifu?" –Raizo asked.

Shifu knew what he meant and nodded. "I will prepare their designated training grounds tomorrow."

"Good. Now we wait."- Shifu and Raizo continued their meditation and thought about how the trip would go.

And this is it everyone! This is the final introductory chapter. In the next one we will begin the journey for the remaining three scrolls. Stay tuned for chapter 7 : Ready , Set , Hunt!

Until then please READ AND REVIEW
