Chapter 6: Revelations

Shifu watched the sun rose from the horizon, briefly praising the beauty of a new day. The red panda sat along the main grounds of the Jade Palace, mediating and reflecting back on the previous day. Since his students departure, he too enjoyed a little break of his own with tea, bathes, and Mahjong with his former colleagues. He began to wonder where Yun sent Po and the Five to for their break. He can only pray that Yun would please his students if he send his letter of extending their trip to a full day. He will soon get his answer as seven gasping figures stormed through the palace gates. Shifu opened his eyes, and fell in shock about his student's appearances. Everyone was caked in mud and sweat top to bottom. What surprised Shifu is the fact that everyone, even Tigress wore the mask of fear, something he wouldn't expect to see after the years he trained his students that fear is in the mind.

"I'll cut to the chase then, how the trip go?" Shifu asked calmly, trying his best to let out a small chuckle. Everyone began to yell random gibberish at Shifu all at once, much more the elder can take. "ENOUGH! One at a time please! Tigress?"

"Master…the trip was going well, until…" Tigress paused.

"Until?" Shifu asked.

"We saw the Manbearpig!" the boys shouted. Shifu started chuckling as his students and Yun stared at him with confusion and a bit of anger.

"Now students, the Manbearpig is only a myth. Just a silly story the Master's Council came up with to scare their trainees." Shifu replied.

"But we did see the creature Master! I wouldn't lie!" Tigress protested.

"Even you stooped to their level of immaturity Tigress? Look, it would take more than a silly horror story to convince me that-" before Shifu could finish his sentence, the raging Manbearpig landed an inch behind the terrified students and Yun. Yun runs off in fear while Po and the Five froze in place, staring straight into the bloodshot eyes of the massive beast.

"I rest my case. Enjoy your friend while I go meditate in my bunker." Shifu stated before disappearing. Po and the Five were completely shocked for their master to abandon them with this THING. But they can't even feel anything in their body as it continued its terrifying glare towards them.

The Manbearpig lets out its trademark shriek, sending chills up the six warriors before they passed out. The creature made its way to the fainted Po, until Yun appeared again, but this time, a large grin wore his face.

"Alright fellas, we got them." Yun announced. Shifu emerged from the shadows, slightly agitated but amused at the same time. The Manbearpig grabbed its head, and removed it, revealing the head of Master Croc. Soon, he jumped off of something acting like stilts, and Master Ox emerged from the Manbearpig costume.

"I got to hand it to you Yun, you sure know how to give a wonderful time." Croc snickered.

"It happens, and thanks again for letting me do this Grandmaster Shifu." Yun addressed in respect.

"Likewise Yun. Let this be a lesson for my students to stop complaining for a break until I let them have one." Shifu added.

"Forgive me Grandmaster, but how's this a lesson?" Ox asked.

"Complaining won't get you no where. It's better to work hard to ensure what you want than asking for the slim chance."

"Then what is with the whole Manbearpig idea have to do with it?"

"Oh that? That is just to tease my students, it has been quite some time since I acted like an immature juvenile." Shifu chuckled.

"Oh nice. Very good my man!" Yun praised.

"Please keep in mine to address me as Grandmaster, Yun."

"Er, sorry Grandmaster." Yun said and bowed.

"Ah, the perks of a high position." Shifu thought happily.

A/N: And that's that, sorry it took long to upload, school and stuff got in the way. Anyway, planning on writing on another fun/humor story like this one featuring Po and the Five enjoying each other's company with fun, food, and pranks.
