Lines Between
Hope and her friends were back on the Excalibur discussing what had happened at Distant Galaxy with her father.
"Well, do at Distant Galaxy," said her father. "You've saved hundreds of lives and brought new hope to that world.
"Actually, that was Luke and Han," said Hope. "We were too busy with another Gummi ship."
"Yes, I read the report," said Sora. "You still accessed with getting them to the rebel base. But as for this unknown Gummi ship I don't know what to think of it. It seems another player has appeared on the board."
"And this player really knows how to fly," said Frank. "I could barely keep up with them."
"Either way the rebels will be evacuate the base now the Empire knows of its location," said Sora.
"What about Vader?" Rex asked.
"No sign of him, but I have a feeling he'll turn up again," said Sora.
"That's not very reassuring," said Frank.
"I know, but it's the truth," said Sora.
"Well, we haven't seen any Heartless ships," said Frank.
"It's possible that a large quantity of them were in the Death Star," said Sora. "With it destroyed they have regroup so they'll be off your back for a while."
"That's good it gives me time to upgrade the ship."
"Before I go Toodles has informed me that you are close to the Valley of Peace."
"Yes, that appears to be our next stop. Why?" said Frank.
"It's just I've got a message from Grand Master Oogway asking for Rex by name," said Sora.
"Master Oogway was one of my old masters," said. Rex. "I fact he was the first."
"Well, he fears that Tai Lung, a dangerous kung fu master will escape," said Sora.
"I've heard of him," said Rex. "Twenty years ago he terrorized the Valley of Peace to get his paws on the Dragon Scroll."
"What's that?" Hope asked.
"It holds the secret of limitless power," said Rex.
Frank whistled. "That's scroll sounds powerful."
"It is and only the Dragon Warrior is allowed to read it," said Rex.
"Who's the Dragon Warrior?" Hope asked.
"Nobody knows, but it's believed that he or she is the most powerful kung fu master in the multi-verse."
"Yes, and Oogway says he's found him," said Sora.
"What?" said Rex getting up suddenly. "I guess he fears Tai Lung escape and feels that only the Dragon Warrior can stop them."
"That would be my guess," said Sora. "I don't know all the details, but Oogway wishes for you to train him."
"Can't Master Shifu do that?" said Rex. "After all he train the Furious Five."
"I can't understand it either, but maybe you explain once you reach the Valley of Peace," said Sora.
The screen then went blank and everyone turned to look at Rex.
"What do you make of this?" said Frank.
"To be honest I don't know, but I learn to trust your masses instinct," said Rex. "And through my journeys I've learned one thing. There's no such thing as coincidence."
"Sounds like we're heading to the Valley of Peace then," said Hope.
"Well, it's fortunate, because I can see it right now," said Frank.
He was right out of the window they saw the Valley of Peace. It looks like a peaceful village with her grand temple towering above it.
"Get us down there," said Rex.
"You got it," said Frank.
Valley of Peace: Jade Palace
They landed at the temple at the crack of dawn and the first thing they noticed was a large selection of training exercises. Hope was more focused on the village that stood below it and could see the tranquillity around them.
"This place is so peaceful, so beautiful," she said.
"It is indeed," said an old croaky voice.
They turned and saw a very old turtle holding a staff approaching them.
"Master Oogway," said Rex bowing.
"I see you've learned some stuff since last we met," said Oogway with a smile.
"You help me set up on this path," said Rex. These are my friends. "Hope and Frank."
Oogway looked at Hope curiously. "Ah, you have indeed a powerful light inside of you," he said. "Hope. Good name."
"I heard former Master Sora that you have found the Dragon Warrior," said Rex.
"Indeed, however Shifu is not convinced that he is and has been working tirelessly to get rid of him," said Oogway.
"I see, and you called me so I could train him," said Rex.
"If Shifu won't someone must and you trust your master absolute, do you not?" said Oogway.
"All I can say this that I will training to the best of my ability," said Rex humbly.
Then suddenly they heard a large amount of panting and then saw an overweight panda gasping for breath as he entered the training area.
"Uh, who's that?" said Frank.
"That's Po, the Dragon Warrior," said Oogway.
They all stared at him, Po looks nothing like a warrior, he was overweight, out of condition and looks quite childish.
"You can't be serious," said Hope.
"I recognise from my last visit," said Rex calmly as if the whole thing was totally normal. "Master Ventus and I stopped at a noodle restaurant and he served us. I never got the taste out of my mouth."
"Wait, are you saying a waiter is the Dragon Warrior," said Frank sceptically. "The same Dragon Warrior that is destined to possess the Dragon Scroll that holds limitless power."
"That would be the one, yes," said Oogway.
"How did that happen?" said Hope.
"A few days ago a kung fu tournament was held for the Furious five so that I could pick the Dragon Warrior. Then out of nowhere he fell out of the sky right in front of Master Tigress as I made my decision."
"Hang on, are you saying that he was chosen, because of some accident," said Frank.
"There is no such thing as accidents," said Oogway.
"I'm naturally inclined to believe him," said Rex and Frank and Hope stared at him in bewilderment. "I can sense a large powerful aura within him. I sensed it the last time I was here."
"And that is why I need you to train him," said Oogway.
"At once Master," said Rex bowing.
They then made their way to Po, who had finally recovered from his long journey up the stone steps.
"Po, this is Master Rex and his friends," said Oogway.
"I have been instructed from Master Oogway to train you as the Dragon Warrior," said Rex bowing.
"I remember you, five years ago," said Poe excitedly. "Man, you've changed a lot."
"And I see you have," said Rex with a small smile.
"Wait, you're gonna train me, but isn't Shifu supposed with one whose two train me," said Po looking confused.
"You're gonna be trained in the art of kung fu does it matter who teaches you," said Rex.
"No, I've always wanted to learn kung fu, I just never thought I'd be the Inverness Dragon Warrior," said Po.
"Then we shall begin," said Rex.
Suddenly the doors to the temple open wide and they saw six very experienced warriors walking in. The first was an elderly red panda, who looked as if he had a chip on his shoulder. Beside him looking quite stern was a female tiger next to her was a snake with lotus flowers on her head. There was a crane with advice and on top of his head and next to him was a mysterious monkey who had mounted on his shoulder, who was quite impatient.
"What are you doing here?" said the red panda.
"He's training to be the Dragon Warrior," said Rex.
"And who are you three," he said glaring at them.
"Don't you recognise me Master Shifu," said Rex.
Shifu looked at him closely his eyes widened. "Your that young raccoon from five years ago," he said.
"Yes, and I've come with my friends Hope and Frank," he said gesturing to them.
"Hey, Rex, who are these guys?" said Frank.
"These are the Furious Five, Masters Tigress, Viper, Crane, Monkey and Mantis," said Rex pointing each one of them.
"And what are you doing here," said Tigress glaring at him.
"Training the Dragon Warrior under Master Oogway's request," said Rex.
"I'm supposed to be teaching the Dragon Warrior," said Shifu.
"But instead you're trying to scare him off," said Frank.
"He's not the Dragon Warrior," said Shifu furiously. "He does another first thing of kung fu."
"And how are you supposed to water the plant if you neglect it," said Rex.
Shifu was now getting angry and Hope could see that a mile away. So, she quickly placed herself in between them.
"How about this," she said calmly, "Rex faces your best student and if he loses will leave immediately, including Po, but if he wins we can stay for as long as we like."
"Agreed," said Shifu.
However, both Rex and Frank now looks slightly worried.
"Uh, Hope something you should know, Rex is a pacifist," said Frank.
"What?" said Hope horrified.
"I don't like fighting or wars," said Rex crossing his arms.
"But I've seen you fight—"
"I only fight for three things and all the time to see me fight are for those reasons," he said. "But this, no. It's pointless."
"Sounds to me your leaving," said Mantis.
"Rex please," Hope begged.
Rex looked at her pleading face and sighed. "Fine," he said finally. "Just this once, but never again."
"Promise," said Hope.
Rex walked in the centre, but not before removing his sheathed sword, lightsaber and his belt, which were full of ninja tools. Shifu had selected Tigress and she clacked her shoulders, he was clear to everyone that she was not going to lose easily.
"Begin," said Shifu.
Tigress at once pounced upon Rex, but he quickly dodged her and then dealt her a roundhouse kick. Tigress blocked it and some the palm of her hand into his chest sending him backwards. Fortunately, his armour shielded him from most of the blow.
"Is that all you've got," said Rex.
Tigress growled and charged him at once the two of them began trading blows so fast that possible to see who was winning. Both were determined not to lose, but then Rex broke away from her.
"You've had enough," she said.
"No, I just believe it's time to get serious," he said as he began to remove his armour.
"How removing your armour going to help you," said Monkey.
They soon learned how. His armoured vest slammed into the ground causing the ground to shake around them. It seemed impossible for Rex to carry that much weight on his shoulders and everyone just editing bewildered.
"That's Rex, he always is a surprise up his sleeve," said Frank shaking his head.
Suddenly Rex vanished into thin air. Tigress looked around for him, but suddenly something punched her in the face. It was Rex, but before she could counter he disappeared yet again and then he dealt her uppercut sending her up into the sky.
"How is he doing that?" said Viper awe.
"I don't know," said Shifu.
Tigress looked down at the ground and saw that he vanished again, she then realised too late that he had reappeared behind and then dealt a powerful kick. She was slammed straight into the ground creating a small crater in the ground.
Rex then landed in front of the crater and looked down at her. "It looks we're staying," he said.
"I'm… not done… yet," said Tigress as she tried to get onto a feet.
"Do yourself a favour and stand down," said Rex. "I don't wish this better to continue."
"Why, because you fear you will lose?" said Tigress falling to her knees.
"Because I fear I would win," he said walking away.
Everyone stared at him totally bewildered.
Valley of Peace: Barracks
Rex spent all the rest of the day training Po and at first it looked as if he had his work cut out for him. But slowly they saw that Po was improving much the bewilderment of the Furious Five.
"How are you able to do that?" Cane asked as they sat around the table.
"The Dragon Warrior is a warrior like no other. So, it stands to reason that he can't be trained like any other," said Rex simply. "I simply found the teaching method that works best for Po."
"And that was?" said Monkey.
"I'm not telling you," he said.
"So, this Tai Lung is bad," said Hope wanting to change the subject.
"That an understatement," said Mantis.
"He was Master Shifu's adopted son," said Tigress.
"Hang on, he used to live here," said Frank. "But how did he turn to evil?"
"He wasn't always evil," said Tigress. "Shifu found him as a cub and he raised him as his son. And when the boy showed talent in kung fu, Shifu trained him. He believed in him… he told him he was destined for greatness. It was never enough for Tai Lung."
"I can see were this is going," said Frank.
Tigress nodded. "He wanted the Dragon Scroll, but Oogway saw darkness in his heart and refused. Outraged, Tai Lung laid waste to the valley, he tried to take the scroll by force. And Shifu had to destroy what he had created… but how could he. Fortunately a traveling warrior had arrived on that very day and held Tai Lung at bay long enough for Oogway to subdue him."
"That was my father," said Rex.
Everyone turned and stared at him.
"Your father was Richard Raccoon," said Po, who was preparing dinner. "Veteran of the Battle of Wasteland. Founder of the Seven Wastelands."
"He's dead," said Rex not looking up.
Again everyone stared at him.
"He's dead," said Po.
"Yes, I saw his dead body myself," said Frank.
"But how, Richard Raccoon was one of the best swords man," said Tigress.
"Let's say that Shifu wasn't the only one who failed to train a students and a son," said Rex and got up and left.
"It's not a subject he likes to discuss," said Frank.
"I can imagine," said Hope.
"Anyway, who wants some Secret Ingredient Soup," said Po giving everyone, but Tigress a bowl of noodles. "Though I don't know what my Dad's secret ingredient is."
Hope to a spoon full and the moment she placed it in her mouth she thought her taste buds would explode. It was delicious.
"This is really good," said Hope.
"Yeah, Rex wasn't kidding about how good the food was," said Frank.
Then the only mean quiet when they saw Shifu had entered into the room and he was holding Oogway's staff.
"Tai Lung has escaped from prison with the aid of a mercenary by the name of Wolf," said Shifu.
"Oh no, not him again," Frank groaned.
"You know him," said Shifu.
"We've run into him few times," said Hope.
"Surely Master Oogway can stop him, he did before," said Po now looking slightly nervous.
"Oogway cannot…" Shifu yelled and then he looked down at the staff. "Not anymore."
They all stared at him in horror.
"Then we'll go after him," said Tigress getting up.
"No! You're not just on to defeat Tai Lung it is his," said Shifu gesturing to Po. "Rex has already agreed with me for me to continue his training."
"What? How am I supposed to beat him," said Po.
"Because you are the Dragon Warrior," said Shifu.
"You've never believe that from the first moment I got here you've been try and get rid of me," said Po.
"Yes, I was," Shifu admitted.
"Then you might explain how you can turn this," said Po gesturing to his body, "into the Dragon Warrior?"
"Because, Rex has explained to me his teaching methods and they seem to be no more effective than anything so far," said Shifu. "I cannot train you as I have done with the Five, it would seem that it was not you who was the problem but me."
"So how are you going training him?" said Frank.
"I will take Po to the Pool Sacred Tears and begin his training there," said Shifu.
"But that is where Master Oogway mastered the harmony and focus, it's the birthplace of kung fu," said Tigress.
"Yes, and we must begin his training right away," said Shifu. He then looked up at Po. "Come along Panda, your training begins."
They watch as Shifu took Po away to who knows where.
Then Tigress got up.
"Where you going?" Frank asked.
"To stop, Tai Lung," she said.
"Didn't you hear Shifu?" said Hope.
"We can't put our faith in that Panda," she said. "I'm going to stop him before he reaches the valley and none of you are going to stop me."
The rest of the Furious Five looked at one another.
"Then we'll come with you," said Viper.
Tigress looked at them and nodded and began to walk out of the barracks.
"Shouldn't we follow them?" said Hope.
"No, we can't leave this valley unprotected," said Frank. "Besides, I would know more about this teaching method Rex is used on Po."
Valley of Peace: Jade Palace
The next afternoon, Hope, Rex and Frank were discussing the events last night.
"You're saying that Oogway turned into cherry blossoms," said Frank bewildered.
"That's what Shifu said," said Rex.
"And out of interest what made you decide to let Shifu continue Po's training?" Hope asked curiously.
"There was something different in his eyes," said Rex. "I guess he just finally trusted his master's judgement."
"And this training method, what is it?" said Frank.
"You won't believe this, but it's food," said Rex as a smile appeared on his face.
"You're kidding," said Frank.
"I'm not, he went ten feet off the ground and perfect split just to get a jar cookies," said Rex.
"It's only unusual," said Hope.
"So when you think they'll be back?" Frank asked.
"Well, if I understand Shifu time schedule and Po's ability learn I would say they would be back round about…" said Rex. Then the doors of the temple open and they saw Shifu and Po enter. "Now."
"You have done well Panda," said Shifu.
"Done well? I've done awesome!" Po yelled.
"The mark of a true hero is humility," said Shifu. Then they remain quiet for a few seconds before he added, "But yes, you have done awesome."
"I take it the training method went well," said Rex.
"Your methods were unusual," said Shifu. "But I cannot argue with the results."
"Sometimes the master has to adapt the student," said Rex humbly.
"Hey, where the guys?" Po asked noticing the Furious Five were missing.
Before any of them could answer they saw Crane flying towards them in the distance and in his claws with the other Furious Five. When they landed they saw that all of them were injured and all them, apart from Crane, were paralysed.
"What happened to them?" said Po in horror.
"They went after Tai Lung," said Hope.
"We were no match, for his nerve attack," said Crane breathing heavily.
"He's gotten stronger," said Shifu as he began to undo Tai Lung's nerve attack upon Mantis.
"Tai Lung? Stronger?" said Po as Shifu began to work on Monkey.
"He's too fast," said Monkey. "And that Wolf called upon strange creatures, we didn't stand a chance."
"Wolf and the Heartless," said Rex.
"I thought we could stop him," said Tigress after Shifu undo the nerve attack on her.
"He could have killed you," he said walking over to Viper.
"Why didn't he?" Mantis asked.
"So you could come back and strike fear into our hearts, but it won't work," said Shifu.
"Uh, it might," said Po looking slightly nervous.
"You can defeat him, Panda," said Shifu.
"I will be there to handle Wolf and his Heartless," said Hope.
"Are you kidding? They can't and their five masters, I'm just one me and even with Hope and her friends at we take them on," said Po.
"But you have the one thing that no one else does," said Shifu.
Valley of Peace: Jade Palace Temple
Shifu then led them into the temple where there was a large stone statue of the dragon on the ceiling and in its mouth they saw the Dragon Scroll.
"You really believe I'm ready," said Po looking down at Shifu.
"You are… Po," said Shifu.
Po stared at him that was the first time that he called him by his name
Shifu then approach the centre of the temple and sent several cherry blossoms from the pond upwards towards the dragon statue. One of them landed on the scroll dislodging it and it fell towards Shifu who caught it.
He then presented the scroll to Po, who took it gingerly as if it was going to explode.
"I hope what they say about the scroll is true," said Frank.
"We'll learn soon enough," said Rex.
Po remove the scroll from its container and looked at it. Everyone stared at him in awe as he began to scream.
"It's blank," he said looking down at Shifu.
"What?" Shifu gasped.
"Here take a look," said Po giving it to Shifu.
Shifu looked at it and saw that Po was right all he could see was his reflection staring up at him. Shifu then looked at them totally confused and puzzled not understanding.
"Blank. I don't—I don't understand," he said.
"Okay, so was like Oogway was just a crazy old turtle," said Po.
"No, Oogway was wiser than us all," said Rex.
"Oh, come on. Face it, he picked me by accident," said Po. "Of course I'm not the dragon warrior."
"But who will stop Tai Lung," said Tigress.
"If we don't do something who destroy the valley," said Rex.
"We have to evacuate the valley," said Shifu handing the score back to Po. "You must protect the villagers from Tai Lung's rage and from his dark allies."
"What about you?" said Hope.
"I will fight him and his allies," said Shifu.
"What?" said Po.
"I can hold them off long enough for everyone to escape," said Shifu.
"But Shifu… he'll kill you," Po reminded.
"Then I will finally pay for my mistake," he said then he looked at all them. "Listen to me all of you, it's time for you to continue your journey without me. I'm very proud of being your master."
He then bowed them and they bowed back.
Then they all left that the temple leaving Shifu behind.
Valley of Peace: The Village
It was dark when they reach the village and already words of Tai Lung's return had spread. The village was starting to evacuate.
"We got to get them out safely," said Tigress.
They all then went to different directions to help with the evacuation, but Hope and a friend remained with Po, who looked completely let down.
"It's not your fault you know," said Frank.
"It sure feels like it," said Po.
Po soon led them to a noodle shop which was no doubt where he lived before he was chosen as the Dragon Warrior. There they saw a goose, who's no doubt the owner, already packing.
"Hey, Dad," he said.
Hope and Frank stared at him as the goose turned around. Clearly Po was adopted and it didn't look as if he realised this.
"Po!" he yelled running up to him and giving him a big hug. "Go to have to back, son."
"Hello, Mr Ping," said Rex bowing.
"I know you, you're that boy Rex," said Mr Ping.
"Yes, and these are my friends Hope and Frank," said Rex gesturing to Hope and Frank.
Mr Ping then looked at his son. "Let go, Po," he said.
Mr Ping began to pull his cart, but it was too heavy for him so Po pulled it for him. However, Mr Ping noticed the sad look on Po's face.
"Po, I'm sorry if things didn't work out," he said sincerely. "It just wasn't meant to be."
"I don't know, Dad," said Po sitting down. "Honestly, sometimes I can't believe I'm actually your son."
Hope and Frank looked at each other.
"Not the smarts Panda in the world is he," Frank whispered to her and she nodded in agreement.
Mr Ping sighed. "Po… I think it's time I told you something I should have told you… a long time ago," he said.
"Okay," Po leaning in closer.
"The secret ingredient of my Secret Ingredient Soup," he said. Hope and her friend just stared at him in disbelieve. "The secret ingredient is… nothing." They just stared at him confused. "You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient!"
"Wait, wait. It's just plain old noddle soup?" said Po. "You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?"
Hope rolled her eyes. "Is this really the time to—" Then Rex raised his hand tell her to be quiet.
"Don't have to. To make something special, you just have to believe it's special," said Mr Ping.
Po stared at him and then looked at the Dragon Scroll again. This time, however, he realised why it was blank and what the secret of limitless power was.
"There is no secret ingredient," he breathed and looked back up the Jade Palace.
"You're heading back ain't you," said Rex.
"I know how to beat Tai Lung now," said Po.
"Then we'll help you," said Hope.
"You sure?" Po asked.
"Won't miss it for the world," said Frank.
Po smiled at them and together they ran towards the Jade Palace, leaving Po baffled father behind.
Valley of Peace: Jade Palace Temple
It was daybreak when I finally managed to reach the temple and there they saw Shifu lying on the floor badly wounded and exhausted. Towering over him with her Snow Leopard who they guessed was Tai Lung.
Hope a friend then saw standing next to him was Wolf along with a bunch of Heartless that look like they were masters of kung fu.
"Those Heartless are called Fu Masters," said Toodles over the com. "They are expert in hand-to-hand combat."
Then they saw Tai Lung raising his claw paw ready to deal Shifu the final blow.
"Hey!" Po yelled.
They all turn to look at him and looked slightly puzzled and confused.
"Who are you?" said Tai Lung.
Wolf then saw Hope and her friends. "Why isn't Hope and her sidekicks," he said with an evil smirk on his face. He then looked at Po. "And I can only guess the Panda next to you is the Dragon Warrior."
"Yeah, that's me," said Po.
"Him?" said Tail Lung perplexed releasing Shifu. "He's a Panda? What are you gonna do, big guy? Sit on me?"
"Don't tempt me," said Po.
"What are you doing here Wolf?" said Rex.
"Your business," said Wolf. "We had a deal with Tai Lung. I freed him and given Nami and in exchange he allows us to look at the Dragon Scroll.
"Why would you let him do that?" said Hope looking at Tail Lung.
"Partly, because I wanted to be free," said Tai Lung. "Think about it, an army at my beck and call containing the power of the Dragon Warrior. No force in this world or any other will be able to stop me."
"In doing so spread chaos," said Rex.
"You catch on quick," said Wolf.
"So, are we going to keep on talking? Or are we going to fight?" said Frank.
"Oh, I think will fight," said Wolf drawing his greatsword. "Heartless! Attack!"
At once they charge at one another. Tai Lung quickly focused his efforts on Po, and Hope, Rex and Frank dealt with Wolf and his Heartless.
One of the Fu Masters tried to take down Hope, but Rex intervened and blocked at attack before deeming it a Force Palm. Wolf swung his greatsword at Frank, who blocked it with his mechanical arm and then kicked him in the chest.
"See what this new mod can do," said Hope.
Suddenly her Keyblade changed into a massive sword and when she slung it, it was able to stretch and wrap around the Fu Masters. She then pulled it away causing them to spin and hitting into each other, before sending a powerful shockwave destroying them.
"I see you've picked up a few new tricks," said Wolf.
"More than a few," said Hope.
Before they could do anything to Wolf, Po slammed into them and they rounded across the opposite side of the hall. During the impact the Dragon Scroll, Po was carrying, rolled across the floor to Tail Lung's feet.
"Finally," he said triumphantly as picking up the Dragon Scroll. "The power of the Dragon Scroll is mine!" However, when he looked at it his face of triumph disappeared instantly. "It's nothing!"
"What?" said Wolf walking over to him.
"It's okay, I didn't get it the first time either," said Po getting to his feet.
"What?" said Tai Lung confused.
"There is no secret ingredient," said Po. In rage, Tai Lung dropped the scroll and Po's feet. "It's just you."
"It looks like you came a long way from nothing," said Frank smirking as he and the others got up onto their feet.
"It would seem only the Dragon Warrior can understand the secrets of the scroll," said Rex.
Wolf looked totally furious. "You telling me that we have wasted our time trying to obtain a scroll that's totally useless to us!"
"Ironic, isn't it," said Hope.
"I'm leaving," said Wolf as he summoned a Corridor of Darkness.
"You're leaving me?" said Tai Lung.
"The deal was that you would give us the Dragon Scroll, but as it's been proven the scroll is nothing but a useless piece of paper," he said as he walked into the darkness. "Our deal was terminated."
The portal then vanished behind him.
"Looks like it's just you and us now," said Frank.
"I don't need some scroll to beat the four of you," said Tai Lung.
"Let's test that theory then," said Rex.
They then charge that Tai Lung.
"Let's see what this new move of mine can do," said Hope. She then performed the Sonic Blade. She moved so fast that it was impossible to see her and the strike she caused on Tai Lung and after a few seconds he was clutching his chest.
Frank then fired his spark shot that paralysed Tai Lung and then Rex used his Force Push sending him backwards. Po then dealt in several jams in the gut, stepped on his foot and twisted his arm not before throwing him ten feet into the air and then landed flat on his face on the floor.
"You… can't defeat me," said Tai Lung as he got up onto his feet steadily. "You… you're just a big… fat… panda!" He then swung his paw that Po.
However, Po caught one of his claws between his index and thumb. "I'm not a big bad panda," he said calmly. "I'm the big fat panda."
He then raised pinky and it wants Tai Lung began to quiver.
"The Wuxi Finger Hold!" he gasped in horror.
"Oh, you know this hold?" said Po.
"You're bluffing. You're bluffing. Shifu didn't teach you that," said Tai Lung as sweat poured down his face.
"Nope," Po admitted. "I figured it out. Skaddosh."
He then flicked his pinky and next thing Hope, Rex and Frank knew a massive surge of energy covered them. The shockwave were so powerful it can be seen from miles and when the dust settled these found Tai Lung was gone.
"What just happened?" Hope asked.
"Pray that you never find out," said Rex
"Well done, Po," said Shifu weakly. "You've done well, Dragon Warrior."
"I had you to thank, Master," said Po.
"And I have you to thank, Master Rex," said Shifu bowing at Rex.
"I was only doing my duty," said Rex returning the bow.
Then suddenly the Dragon Scroll began to glow as did the tip of Hope's Keyblade. The score than shudder being straight up into the sky creating a Gate. At once Hope aimed her Keyblade at it and fired at the next second they heard the sound of a lock opening. Hope felt a massive surge of energy enter into her body.
"You get stronger every single day, Hope," said Rex. "You have gain the ability High Jump. This will allow you to jump great distances."
"And it looks like we gonna go," said Frank.
"Do you guys have to?" said Po.
"I'm afraid so, we've got a Quest to complete," said Frank.
In an unknown location
Rattus was standing dark hall and saw Wolf approaching him.
"Sad to say, but the Dragon Scroll was a bust," he said.
"I'm more concerned about Hope and her friends," said Rattus. "It's only a matter of time before they realise what our plans are."
"How can they possibly know, they don't even know who is truly in charge," said Cam appearing out of nowhere.
"Sooner or later they will realise and they soon realise that they've just entered into war," said Rattus.
"Let them keep on guessing," said a new voice in the darkness. "Whether they know or not they can't stop what is happening."
