The white wolf traveled east, with the black mamba on his shoulder. This was his third day. He was on his way to the coastline, covering more grounds as he went. But he failed to find no hero worthy of recruiting, yet.
Kann reached another town, he was walking in the main road, with his hood on. He noticed some shops and houses were ransack, many tracks on the ground. He groaned, he was very busy with his quest already, now he had to deal with these bandits. He tracked down the ransacking bandits, to a dead end alley. But he heard noises of fighting. He hid behind a wall, and saw everything. A white tiger was in the middle of thirty bandits, beating them down one by one. The tiger had a katana strapped to his side, with black vest and pants with silver lines, the style was similar to Tigress from the Jade Palace. He had a scar on his right eye, from his brow to his cheekbone. He fought ferociously against the outnumbering bandits, not breaking a sweat. Finally, Kann thought, a hero. The white tiger soon defeated all of them, so Kann decided to give him a test. He took off his black cloak, and said to Za Shen.
" You stay here. I'm gonna test him out. Do not intervene, Shen. I want to see his abilities." Kann said calmly, the snake nodded. Kann revealed his strong build, rushed to face the tiger.
" Oh, I left one. Don't worry, you'll soon join them." The white tiger stopped, checking out his opponent's appearance and outfit. " You're not as weak as these scum, are you?" The white tiger asked.
" Of course I'm not. Come, I'll give you something to fight." Kann taunted.
" Oh, just what I'm waiting for." The tiger replied. Then the two charged at each other ferociously, trading blows for blows. The tiger deflected a punch from Kann, then turned to kick him on the side of the head. Kann was knocked down, but quickly snapped up, doing a front flip, hitting the tiger with his heel. The tiger was dazed, but quickly shook it off, punching Kann in the face. Kann spitted his blood out to the side, blocked another punch and head butted the tiger. Then he turned for a heel kick to the tiger's head. The tiger saw this, dropped down and swept under Kann's foot. Fortunately, Kann did a back flip, saving him from a lost. Then he faked a left, then a uppercut to the tiger's jaw, sending him up. Kann then jumped, doing a drop kick, knocking the tiger to a nearby wall. But he recovered, charged at Kann and kicked him in the ribs, then kneed him in the stomach. Kann blocked the knee, however, and throw an elbow back at the tiger's jaw, then another punch to the face. The two wouldn't give up that easy, they locked arms with each other, using every bit of their skills and strength to take down the other, they failed. They were equally matched. Both breathed heavily, still locked to each other.
" You're good." The tiger managed to speak.
" The same here." Kann said, chuckled a bit.
" You're not in league with these bandits are you?" The tiger asked.
" No. How can you tell?" Kann asked, calmly.
" You fought with valor, with honor. Something that these scum never understand. And your skills was remarkable. Where did you receive your training?" The tiger asked, giving up the arm lock, Kann did the same.
" I was a traveler, I learned Kung Fu from some monks after saving them from bandits. Now, I train in the Jade Palace." Kann answered. The tiger's eyes opened up in shock.
" You train there? Do you know Tigress?" The tiger asked.
" Yeah, everyday."
" How is she?"
" She's fine. Still a tough one. Why do you care?" Kann asked, startled at the tiger's sudden burst.
" She and I, we used to live in the same village." He paused. " We got separated because of a bandit attack." He explained.
" Oh, so that's the story." Kann said.
" Oh and my name is Mitchicus. But you can call me Mitch." The white tiger introduced.
" You can call me Kann. And that buddy of mine over there is Za Shen." Kann said, pointing at the black snake. The snake nodded in recognition.
" So, here's my business. My master, and foster father, visited me in a dream and told me to come here. He said that I'll meet a friend, an ally like no other, and I should join him on his quest." Mitch said..
" Who's your father?" Kann asked.
" The great creator of Kung Fu, master Oogway." Mitch said, shocking Kann.
" Oogway? He visited me once too!" Kann spoke.
" So you're the one I was told to wait for?" Mitch paused a bit, " You fight well. I'm honored to fight beside you." Mitch said, bowing. Kann bowed back.
" It's also my honor to fight beside such promising warrior."
" I was trained by Oogway, of course man!" Mitch said, standing up straight. Making Kann chuckle at his comment.
" I guess you are friend."
The three made their way through a small grassy plain. Kann and Mitch's friendship was growing immensely by the minute. Kann found out that they were very much the same. The same burning anger, the same short fuse, yet the same compassion, and many other things. They rested under a big old tree at the end of the plain. They talked, traded stories under the camp fire. Kann was sharing those black beans again to Mitch. It was just a prank, for Mitch to stay up all night. Kann loved that trick. Soon, night came. The moon shined on them all.
Somewhere in the Jade Palace, Song was missing him. She was staring at the moon, knowing that it was shining on him somewhere. The one-eyed wolf had stayed behind, to watch over the Jade Palace. If he succeeded to protect it from harm, he would be trusted by the Five and Shifu. He walked up to Song, who was standing outside the gate, staring at the moon.
" You miss him." He said.
" Yeah. I miss him a lot." She said, not turning back.
" He's a good and strong man. He'll come back to you soon enough." The wolf tried to comfort her. He succeeded, at least a bit.
" You're right. Just give me the key of the gate. I'll close it when I come in." Song said.
" Ok, sleep soon, for your health. You don't want him to worry about you too. Here you go." He said handing her the key.
" Night." She said softly.
" You too." He spoke. Walking in. The moon illuminated her sad face. She went in a little later, leaving the moon by itself, in the silent night.
Blood was pouring out, forming a river. The imperial soldiers were losing their battle. Their only advantage was the Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior. They had been fighting all night long. They put up a good challenge for the multi-specie army of barbarian. There were boars, rhinos, oxen, giant white bears and a huge number of black wolves. Our heroes fought valiantly, with all they got. Still, they couldn't save the battle by themselves. Everyone was exhausted, but the waves of enemy never seemed to stop.
" We must fall back! We can't take another wave!" Shouted Tigress, while knocking back an approaching ox.
" Fall back. Tell the soldiers to fall back!" Shouted solemnly by Shifu. He too was exhausted. The Five knocked another wave back, then used the little time they had and retreated back towards south. The barbarian army moved closer and closer to the Imperial city. A giant white bear walked casually up their ranks, his face was grim, there was scars on his right face: long marks of claws. He was the biggest of all the white bears. He was bare chested, wearing chain mail war pants. And on his right hand, he was missing two fingers: the ring finger and the middle one.
" The smell of blood. It arouses me." He chuckled madly.
" Kann, come to me and die."
