Chapter 2
Walking through the dark forest, with only the moon to light his way, was Zero, who was still trying to find his way to the Valley of Peace, wondering if he was now walking in circles. While walking, he noticed a large tree with spread out branches, full of leaves so thick, that moon light wasn't shining through, it was kind of easy to spot a tree like this in a forest made up mostly of bamboo . He now stops and looks at it, thinking maybe he can take a rest there. He slowly walks up to it placing his staff on the ground, takes his damp clothes off and place it on a low branch with his bag. He then pulls out a black cloak with long sleeves and black pants and tries his best to put them on in the dark and then sits down next to the tree. A rumbling noise was cracking through the peaceful night, as Zero said to himself, "Shut up you I'm trying to fall asleep...wait...I should stop talking to myself. If only I didn't eat all of that app-!" Quickly, he shot up for his pack, pushing his hand in feeling around for an apple he should have. To his luck, he pulled out what seems to be a half eaten apple. With his back up against the tree he slowly slides down to take a seat, thanking the gods for his find, but as fast as he shot up to get it was just as fast that he ate was Still a little hungry, but was now smiling to himself while thinking , "To think that I hardly like apples I wish I had another." And with that, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into peaceful slumber.
It was now morning in the valley of peace. Up at the top of the 1000 steps in his sleeping quarters was Po, the Dragon Warrior, sleeping peacefully, unaware of what's to come, he rolls over to his side to avoid the little sun light peeking through this window. As a loud *GONG!* was heard throughout the master's barracks. Po jumped up and opened his door but fell halfway between his door and the hallway with his fist in his palm saying, " Good morning master," with everyone. Still on the ground he looks up to Shifu who continue to say " Good morning students ...are...Po, it seems that you manage to make it halfway on time today." A few giggles were shared amounts his fellow masters, he now got up saying" S-sorry master Shifu," Shifu nodded "Ok students, you may now head over to the kitchen to have breakfast. When you are finished, meet me at the training hall so we can begin your morning training" said Shifu as he was now scanning his students to see if there were any questions, as they all replied " Yes master." with this , Shifu nodded and walked off.
Jumping on Po's shoulder was none other than master Mantis," Couldn't have done it better myself." Mantis said with a small bow," Ha ha, very funny." said Po. Walking up to them was Monkey, who was saying, " Come on, give him a chance, he was helping his father yesterday and still made it back in time to make dinner for us and that aside you have 10 almond cookies for me," " What!? B-but he almost made it " sad Mantis," Technically, he did make it and said good morning with us," Joining the conversation was Crane with his wing under his beak. *Sigh* "Boys," said Viper, slithering up to Tigress and called out ",Tigress I'm going to the kitchen, you coming?" but her question went unanswered because well, Tigress was standing there her hands were behind her back, with an almost unnoticeable smile, like she was eyeing someone, Viper smiled inwardly, and using her tail, she poked her leg saying, " Tigress," "Ugh ...o-oh viper I was ...um...you were saying something?" Tigress asked, a little embarrassed, hoping that Viper did not notice what she was doing. Pushing it aside Viper continued," I'm going to the kitchen, you coming?" "Oh ok, lets go." said Tigress, as they began to walk out the hallway to the kitchen .
While with Po and the others ,"Guys, lets go get something to eat ,oh and monkey can I get some of your almond cookies?" asked Po, as they were starting to walk "Oh ok Po, wouldn't want to keep Shifu waiting." said Monkey, as they headed over to the kitchen, while Po commented with an "Awesome!". Breakfast was normal as Po made some bean buns and some dumplings with hot tea to go with it. After breakfast, they all made their way to the training hall to meet Shifu as instructed. Once there, they all lined up waiting for their training plan.
Shifu then began by saying ," Po , Monkey and Viper there's a group of travelers who requested some protection upon entering the bamboo forest. You three are to make sure they enter the valley of peace safely." "Yes Master Shifu." the three of them said together. "Any question?" asked Shifu as he look at Po knowing he had one "Oh! Master Shifu, how will we know who they are?" asked Po, while putting his hand in the air. With that said, Shifu pulled a scroll out from his sleeve and handed it to Po," They have the Empire's crest with them. They will be here to discuss the new laws of the uses of fireworks." said Shifu as he turns to the others and said "The rest of you will start your training and if you need me, I will be in the hall of heroes." they all bowed and answered "Yes Master Shifu." as Shifu turned to head towards the hall of heroes, leaving them. Po raised the scroll in air the saying "Let's go guys." as he ran off with monkey and viper following him close behind. Tigress was now watching him leave wondering if Po would be ok without her there to look out for him. She was surprised that he didn't flinch when the word fireworks was mentioned. She turned away and pushed the thoughts aside. Right now she only needed to focus on her training.
