I don't own any setting, objects, or characters from the Kung Fu Panda® Franchise

I only own my original characters and original settings.

Ok, time to begin my apology. (ahem) I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry I made you guys wait more than a year before I updated. However, school and courses got in the way, so I got distracted. But, in order to redeem myself, I will post three new chapters within the week and others as fast as I can write them. OK?
Here's number one!

Chapter X: Echoes of Destruction

Training started with a happier Esau and an astounded justice. Not even the most disciplined Laikoan warrior could maintain his level of energy during the 1st entire night of starvation, especially if they managed to get no sleep at all. Yet, there he was, eagerly clashing kunai knives with Jo. Needless to say, Justice was stunned with pride.

"He seems to have taken to his training quicker than I expected." stated a voice behind her.

She turned around to find her older brother Trey walking towards her location.

"Yeah, it does." Justice sighed wistfully. "I only wish Father were here to see this."

Trey smiled sadly as he looked at his sister. The calming waters of the Sacred Pool of Tears really helped Justice find some of her inner peace, even though he knew it wouldn't solve all of her problems. But, for the moment, he was just glad it somewhat helped her finally accept their father's passing.

"Yeah, but don't forget what he told us. One can never be remembered…"
"…unless they say goodbye." finished the she-wolf as she turned her back to find her students frozen with each other's weapons at their rival's throat. She glanced back to her older brother with a smirk.

"Thanks, bro." remarked Justice as she walked towards her charges, waiting for further instruction.

Dinner approached rapidly within the walls of the Jade palace, Justice awoke from the nap she had taken within her dorm and shuffled her way to the dining hall, rubbing sleep from her eyes along the way. She was the last to arrive, primarily because she had to rest after completing all of Jo's chores for the rest of the week. Justice sat down lazily beside Esau, who had decided to stay inside after what happened the night before, and stared sleepily at her paws.

"So, what I miss?" asked Justice casually as she looked up, only to be met with stares, lots of them. Jo and the masters looked utterly stunned, Esau grinned at her with amusement, and Zoran and Trey almost looked like they were going to high-tail it out to Singapore. Justice was confused.

Why are they all looking at me like that?

"What, is there something on my face?"

Half of them shook their heads while the others nodded. The she-wolf was seriously starting to freak out now.

I'm seriously starting to freak out now. What in the name of Rassilion could be wrong with me?

She walked over to the closest bucket of water and looked at her reflection. What she saw nearly made her scream in terror. Looking down, Justice was met with an exact replica of herself. Twins in every aspect, except one: the fur. Justice stepped away in shock and looked down at herself. Every patch of white on her body, with the exception of her arms and paws, was a bright shade of pink. She slowly looked back up to the table, her mouth open in disbelief. Everyone had maintained their previous position except for Esau, who was currently rolling on the floor with laughter.

Her shock slowly melted into rage, bubbling like lava from the pits of a volcano. Her usual golden eyes turned white as the fury slowly overtook her. She stared at the young wolf until he finally picked himself up. Then, with a speed matched only by Master Shifu, she slammed him against the door and held her dagger against his jugular. The severity of the situation grabbed hold of everyone as they jumped to stop the fratricidal she-wolf. Esau was so stunned at his sister's change of emotions that he was too dazed to breathe. Jo and the masters called her name as they rushed towards her direction, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. Tigress attempted to pull her away, but was blocked by a strong field of dark energy that surrounded the siblings. Repeatedly, they cried out for her to snap out of it, but only one name stood out.

"Vitani!"

Previews of the Chapter XI: The Prophecy Moon

" He's not the one you're after."

"No..no..no..."

"Justice, I'm sorry."

"Find her before that...that thing destroys the valley!"

"I said the innocent, not the stupid!"

"First you need to understand who Vitani is."

"Send her a message, one she will never forget."

"Do not let me find my trust misplaced, Amora"

"So, there's nowhere else to go, is there?"
"No."
"Good. I'm tired of running."
