Meet the Dragon Warrior
"Where are my cookies?" Monkey questioned hanging from his tail as he examined his empty cookie stash. "I fill this jar with cookies every week and someone eats them all before I get to them."
Mantis shook his head, running his fore limbs over his mandibles.
"Have you ever placed a trap in the jar?" Crane questioned looking up at Monkey from the pantry's floor.
The Golden Languor nodded.
"I put in mouse traps; four of them!" Monkey dropped from the ceiling. "And every time the traps are exactly as I placed them and my cookies are gone. A trickster of utmost skill must be behind it."
"Isn't it obvious," the boys heard a hiss from the doorway.
In slithered Viper with an entertained smirk on her face. Gliding along the floor and up to Monkey, she rose off the ground to look him in the eye.
"You can put those cookies in a hole, at the other side of town, with a brick building over it and still, he'd find them and eat them," the snake smiled.
Monkey still looked confused.
"Why don't you put some dark jelly in your next batch of cookies?" Viper turned. "And at the end of the day, see who has a colored face and tongue?"
The Golden Languor nodded, mouth open.
"Excellent!" Monkey cheered. "Viper, you are a genius!"
The female snake giggled slightly and slithered out of the room. Crane followed her as Mantis remained with Monkey.
"We all know it's Po," the Red Crowned crane stated, his hat tipping as he looked down over his eyes as he looked at Viper. "Why didn't you just tell him?"
Viper smiled at the bird, her forked tongue lapping the air.
"The world if full of mysteries and that makes the world exciting," she answered. "As long as Monkey doesn't know, it's an adventure. Besides, it will give him something to do besides wonder about his missing cookies."
Crane chuckled.
"Did you learn that from Master Shifu or Master Oogway?" The Red Crowned crane asked.
Viper grinned wider.
"Master Oogway," she answered. "He had all the Kung Fu knowledge in the world but could still find pleasure in the simplicity of others."
"I hope Po has his running shoes on," Crane voiced. "Because as soon as Monkey finds out it's him, we might need to find a new Dragon Warrior."
Crane and Viper enjoyed a loud laugh as they made their way through the living quarters.
Meanwhile out in the training yard, Po and Master Shifu had finished their focus training. Po failed, again. The panda thought his master would use a rock or a stick or something to train with. But NO! Shifu had to play dirty! The Red Panda Master used the biggest, fullest, most mouth watering dumpling in the entire Valley of Peace! Po couldn't contain himself as it sat on his nose. Two seconds later it was in his mouth and it tasted SO GOOD! So now, the Dragon Warrior had to sweep the training yard's dirt as punishment.
"Stupid broom," Po growled as he swept a massive amount of dirt into a big pile. "That was not fair! Shifu knows I can't pass up a dumpling… Was that the whole exercise? ...Focus? Aw man! There's that stupid lesson Master Shifu wanted to teach me!"
The panda grumbled as he scooped up the pile of dirt into a dist pan.
"I can so totally focus!" Po went on talking to himself. "And I can do it with my eyes closed."
Po shut his eyes and visualized a giant dumpling forest. He had a chop sticks in his hand, a bib on his neck and an empty stomach. Po licked his lips as he imagined the whole thing.
"Oh yeah," the panda rubbed his stomach. "Totally focused."
Po opened his eyes and immediately saw a vulpine in front of him. Her yellow eyes screamed out an inaudible sound that knocked the panda in the brain.
"WHOA!" Po jumped back throwing his dust pan high into the air.
The panda lost his balance, went crashing to the ground and tumbled across the yard. Po came to a stop flat on his face in the middle of the training yard. He opened his eyes just in time to see the dust pan full of dirt jet sky high. Time slowed down as he saw the pan turn over and the wave of brown dirt coming his way. Po had just enough time to shut his eyes as dirt blanketed him.
"Man!" The panda cried out, his face and body caked in dirt.
Blinded, dirty and dirt-coated, the panda lost his balance.
Po went tumbling around the training yard. He then crashed into a rack of training implements, knocking the weapons high into the air. Trying to retake his balance, the panda stepped into the bucket that he was going to put the dirt into, getting his foot stuck. Trying to get the dirt out of his eyes and shaking his foot that was in the bucket, Po was something to see.
The panda fell on his butt and in that same second, as he got the bucket off of his foot, the training weapons fell from the sky. Po squeaked in horror as he floundered to avoid all of the sharp ones. Swords and spears peppered the ground around him, outlining his body. And as the last sword fell from the sky, aimed toward his head, Po could not avoid it. Thankfully someone threw his dust bucket and hit the sword. Spinning of and harmlessly skewering the ground, the sword came to a stop.
"Kadush," Po gasped, eyeing the spear that came dangerously close to his crotch.
Then he blacked out.
Po wasn't sure how long he was out but when he opened his eyes he saw something dark peering down at him and blocking the sun from his eyes. Shaking the stars from his head, the panda squinted, trying to focus on the dark silhouette. When reality sharpened once again he saw those soul stealing yellow eyes again. Po yelped in surprised and squirmed. Crawling backwards the panda hitting a training dummy and could no longer move away.
The vixen held a friendly yet entertained smile as she walked toward him. Po's eyes bugged when she stood a pace away from him. Without that smile leaving her face, the vulpine stretched out her hand to the panda. Po didn't do anything but ogle at her eyes.
The female fox then knelt beside him.
"Are you all right?" She asked using her finger to snap the panda's slack mouth shut.
Her actions snapped Po out of his trace. The panda scrambled to his feet, but not without hitting his head on one of the training dummy's wooden arms. Hissing in pain Po clapped his hands over his head. Over his dance, he heard the vixen giggle.
"Uh, yeah," the panda managed, the pain on his head making him wink and pulling up his slacking pants.
The vixen giggled as her eyes drifted over Po's body. She circled as she studied him for long moments, making the panda feel like the sun was getting too hot to bear. The vulpine female suddenly gave Po a deep bow.
"It's an honor to finally meet the Dragon Warrior," she smiled.
How'd she know that?
Po blinked, making the fox giggle. She was a silver fox with a slightly orange tail, striking yellow eyes and a full hourglass figure under an old silk robe that was torn and tattered on her sleeves and feet. But those eyes… those eyes were haunting. Po was sure that he felt her eyes steal his soul and devour it in front of him.
"You're perfect," her voice brought Po out of his lost stare.
The panda blinked again.
"Excuse me?" Po squeaked, his voice cracking at the vixen.
"You're perfect," she repeated, smile on her face. "Master Oogway chose very well."
The panda blushed, his brown and white fur lighting with pink and his green eyes falling to the ground at his feet.
"Forgive me Master Dragon Warrior," the vixen bowed. "My name is Layla."
Po was surprised and he shot his eyes back to the fox's. He stared at the vixen whom he just found out was the lost student of Oogway's.
"O-oh! Oh yeah!" Po remembered he hadn't introduced himself. "I'm Po and you're Lady Layla! It's an honor."
The panda gave a gawky bow. Lady Layla giggled again.
"So," the vixen circled him, "you are the legendary Dragon Warrior?"
Lady Layla ran her finger from on Po's body as she circled him. The panda froze like ice under her touch.
"Amazing," Lady Layla stopped in front of him, taking her finger off his soft, dirt-covered belly. "You are everything I expected in the Dragon Warrior."
Po blushed harder and stared at his feet. Lady Layla was the first, save for Master Oogway, who had known him to be the Dragon Warrior at first glance. At first, Master Shifu and the Furious Five didn't take Po seriously, let alone as the Dragon Warrior. Yet, just as Master Oogway had done, the vixen picked up on the panda's worthiness.
"H-how'd you know I was the Dragon Warrior?" Po rubbed the back of his head.
Lady Layla leaned into him and placed her hand over his heart.
"You are pure in heart and spirit," she whispered. "You are the Dragon Warrior; the diamond in a void of coal."
A goofy smile cracked over the panda's face.
"Aw," Po flushed, kicking an invisible pebble. "Stop it, you're making me blush. But you know… I am awesome."
Lady Layla laughed, hand over her mouth.
R&R! LONG LIVE ROCK!
