Chapter 6: Journey through the Mountains
After seeing the pig and finding out more about what happened to Po's bio parents, Po, Shifu and the Five departed out of town and headed to the Wudang Mountains in order to find some answers. Po began to feel a little nervous, but hopeful that he would endure this adventure to foind out more about his bio parents.
Shifu turned to Po and see that he's looking kinda anxious about this quest, and knew that he wanted to find out everything about them. He said, "Po, I bet you're feeling kinda anxious about this whole thing."
"Shifu, I'm more than anxious. Just a little hopeful and kinda nervous, I guess. I mean, I never knew much about them and I live with my adopted dad. I appreciate everything he's done for me and I will always be grateful for that, but I gotta know." Po said.
"I know. Don't worry, when we find this Pyro, we'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget and slam him back to the slimy swamp he was born in."
"Hey, you guys! Check it out!" Mantis exclaimed.
Tigress, Shifu, Po, Crane, Monkey and Viper ran quickly and went to the Pool of Sacred Tears and they saw a croc's sword, in which it had dried blood on it, but it was a different one with a green and yellow handle. Viper asked, "What's with this sword?"
"It might be something that involves this adventure." said Crane.
"It is. I'm thinking this is the sword that the pig was talking about. He told me it was the sword Pyro used to kill Po's mom before he got to his dad. I saw a picture of this while we were in his house and it turned out to be the real thing." said Mantis.
He hands a picture of the sword to Po, lookied at it, then looked at the sword and was surprised to see it was the real thing. He turned to Mantis and asked, "Is this really the one that killed my mom?"
"Yeah, Po. What makes you think I would make up stuff like that?"
"He's right. We might as well bring it, just in case." said Monkey.
Po grabbed the sword and brought it along for safekeeping to see his bio mother's blood dried out. Shifu looked at Po holding on to it and told him, "Put it in the bags."
Po sat down and took off the backpacks and put the sword in there and then puts them back on again and everyone went on their way. Po was unsure about that will happen in a couple of days or so. As soon as day turns to night, Shifu saw a place where they can crash for the night and told them they need to spend the night there.
A few minutes later, Crane and Monkey got the wood and started a fire to keep everyone warm. Everyone sat down with each other and Tigress gave Po a blanket to keep him warm and he sighed softly. Shifu brought in a bowl of noodles and gave it to Po to cook it for and keepi warm for everyone else.
"So, how come you were taken in by Mr. Ping?" asked Monkey.
"It's a long story, but it's kind a weird being taken in by a duck who's crazy about noodles. Really weird, but I got used to it when I got older. Simply, because my dad dropped off there when I was a cub, that part I sorta remember." said Po.
"Was it weird?" asked Mantis.
"What kind of question is that?" asked Po.
"The kind you need to answer to."
"No, it wasn't weird. Everyone sees me and my dad and they always ask, 'Why is your dad a duck and why is your son a panda?', because they were kinda shocked there we're in different species. But mostly, as I grew up, my dad has always been doing everything he can to take care of me and I always took care of him, when needed. It's like he gives his life for me and never looked back."
"Being that your dad's a goose, do you ever feel.... lonesome?" asked Viper.
Po sighed heavily and replied, "Sometimes. I always feel lonely and that I thought about my mom and dad and I always ask, 'Why am I so different?' and he replies, 'What's different is I'm a duck and you're a panda, but together, we are one. One small happy family.' It's been in my mind, even though it never really made sense. Growing up, when I feel upset or something, I always eat a lot. I started doing it when I was kinda 7 or 8, I guess. As I keep eating, there's this empty part of me and I never stop."
"So, that's why you're kinda-- forgive me for saying this-- overweight?" asked Crane.
"Yeah, Crane. I'm somewhere nearing the 400 pound range and I can't help but eat. It's like an addiction. No matter what I do, I can't stop myself from eating, like a eat-aholic."
"But you have lost a few pounds since you've been here. I guess all that exercise and training really suited you." said Tigress.
"That's true."
Soon enough, everyone started eating some of Po's noodles and they all started talking to each other until they were called in to rest up. Shifu, Tigress, Mantis, Crane, Monkey, Viper and Po were all fast asleep until a few hours later, Po started tossing and turning from the sleeping bag, groaning and moaning, and hearing screams echoing in his mind.
A/N: Another one of Po's nightmares, but this time, it goes to the extreme length. Just trust me, it'll be awesome. Let's just say... drop your jaw and scream 'OMG!'
Thunder rumbles and Po starts running away from Pyro and hides himself away in a dark cave, where no one could be found. But as soon as he got there, he sees dead bodies everywhere. He trembled and started whimpering while looking at these deceased bodies, but there was one thing more shocking and mortifying.
He sees Master Shifu lying down and tried to wake him up and when he rolls him flat on his back, he sees a dagger sticking on his back, like someone killed him. He gasped horribly and couldn't believe what he saw, his master stabbed and killed. He backed away slowly and whispered, "No.... this isn't true. Please tell me it's not..."
Then, he turned around and saw Crane, Viper, Monkey, Mantis and Tigress' bodies, dead and hung with daggers stuck to their backs, which made Po frightened more. He shuddered and falls down on the ground on his knees and started crying loudly. He raised up his face and screamed, "WHY?!!!! Why did you have to go?!"
"Because I killed them and you're most likely.... YOU'RE NEXT!!!!" Pyro exclaimed, as he flew out of nowhere.
Po looked behind and saw Pyro flying out of nowhere with his swords, which were filled with blood. He looked at his sharp teeth and asked, "Why won't you leave me alone?"
"Cause I'm not gonna stop until I've done my part... which is killing you along with your little friends." snarled Pyro.
Pyro got closer to him and raised his sword in the air and they were both screaming as he tried to stick the sword in Po's shoulder.....
Reality
Po woke up screaming loudly, panting as furiously as ever and checked on everyone else and saw that they're still living. A sweat dropped from his face and he sighed mournfully, like he can't stop having these nightmares. He tried to get some sleep, but after that nightmare, he's afraid to have the same dream again, so he left his tent and took a walk, but little did he know, Shifu was out there, watching him because he heard Po scream loudly and it was the same killer, but different dream. He followed him in order to find out what's up with Po.
A little scary at the end of the nightmare, I know. Had to come up with something. It was either this or Shifu and the Five joining Pyro's side. Anyways, hope you like it!
