The day of the war is beginning and they're almost to Kumango Valley, so this could be an interesting one.

Chapter 12: Arrival to Kumango Valley

The next morning, Po slowly opened his tired, blurry eyes, moaned silently, got up from the ground, let out a small yawn and then, headed outside for some fresh air. He could feel the wind coming through his fur and it stroked him gently, for a new day.

He suddenly feels really nervous, but confident about heading to Kumango Valley and to Croc and Rhino Hill to confront Pyro and his army of crocs and rhinos to pay for what they did to Po's bio parents. Soon enough, he heard someone calling his name.

"Po?"

He turned around to see it was Musaki behind him in the cave and Po asked, "What you doing up, Lil' Saki?"

"Well, I woke up and I saw you outside the cave. I didn't know where you were when I got up, and then I looked around until I saw you outside. I kinda didn't know where you were at first." Musaki answered.

"I'm here now."

"So, you ready?"

"I am most definitely ready to kick Pyro's butt."

"And if you need any help, I'll put on this mask and take them down like I did with the rhinos yesterday."

"Let's put a little stop right there. As much as I think it was awesome the way you kicked the rhino's butts, they're also kinda super-dangerous and you do not want to be involved in that. They'll kill you too."

"Dude, I'm not scared of them....yet."

"I appreciate that, but I can handle them by myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

Musaki sighed and thought about the worst possible thing that would happen to Po at this moment. But, he soon realizes that it's Po's fight and that he would let him do this fight. He turned to him and said, "I'm not gonna stop you from doing what you're doing, but I just don't want you to die."

Po chuckles and puts his arm on Musaki's shoulder and told him, "I will never die. I promise you that."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

Po reached in and gave Musaki a hug and embraced the hug also. It's a reminder that everything's gonna be okay and nothing will tear them apart. Shifu came out of nowhere and saw them hugging and let out a smile and soon enough, the Five got up and saw this happening. They let out a big, 'awwww.'

They let go and sees them interfering the moment. Musaki scoffed and said, "I knew you were gonna butt in at any given minute."

"Well, if we didn't, we wouldn't be here to see this beautiful moment." said Viper.

"The beautiful moment is over."

"All right, students. You all had a good rest?" asked Shifu.

"Yes, master." everyone said.

"Good then. Let's head over the next 6 miles to Kumango Valley and fulfill our mission."

With that, they started walking towards the Wudang Mountains to reach Kumango Valley and they kept walking for almost 2 hours and as for Po, he could finally confront his childhood fear and take this nightmare down.

Soon enough, one of Pyro's advisors kept a look-out for Po, Shifu, Musaki and the Five as they're heading their way there. He quickly got frightened and rushed over to Pyro to alert the news.

While he got there, he saw Pyro upside down in the tree, thinking that he's knocked out, and he slowly got to him and asked, "Master?"

His eyes opened quickly, which scared the crap out of the advisor and jumped up under his skin. Pyro saw his advisor and asked, "What do you want, you twit?"

"I'm sorry for-- disturbing you slumber, master, b-but..."

"Come on, then! Spit it out, don't you?!" Pyro exclaimed.

"Remember that panda you tried to kill years ago?"

The words struck him down and asked, "What about him?"

"He's only his way here along with some others."

"They're coming here?"

"Yes, master."

He got down from the tree and then told him, "Gather up my best warriors and tell them to meet me in front of the hill."

"As you wish, sir."

As soon as his advisor left, he got to his lair and pulled out his black cape and his sword in attempt to get rid of Po. He chuckled maliciously and thought that this is gonna be a great war. He said, "It's been a long time since I used this thing. I got rid of Po's parents and I'm pretty sure that he'll be next. If I get id of this panda, I'll have done my job."

Soon, he heard the alarm and retreated to his lair and went with his army of crocs and rhinos to the front of the lair and looked as if they're ready to fight. He turned to them and said, "Now, my comrades, we have been waiting for this moment for a long time and we all remember the night that we killed Po's parents and one of his family refuses to die. Now he's on his way here with some comrades of his own. If they even think about defending him, they've got another thing coming. Now, it's our moment to claim our moments. Let's go out there and raise heck, boys!!"

All the crocs and rhinos cheered and applauded for Pyro and headed out to the front of the land and told them, "This is it, we'll wait here for them."

Meanwhile, the gang made it to Kumango Valley and it was a big valley with open spaces and trees, and everything in between. They could see that it wasn't gonna be a good visit, because of what's coming around the corner.

As they looked around, they could see that it's a normal, peaceful valley, but Shifu could sense something suspicious coming around the bend. He kept his eyes open to see something dangerous coming in their way.

"Keep your eyes peeled, students. There's gonna be trouble coming around." Shifu said.

"Yes, master."

Musaki lurked around to see anything dangerous around and keeps track of everything devious. He looked around the other side of the valley and sees a sign that says, 'Croc and Rhino Hill: do not enter if you dare.'

He turns to the others and said, "Hey, does this sign count as dangerous?"

They turned around, walked towards Musaki and sees a sign that said, 'Croc and Rhino Hill: do not enter if you dare.' They could tell they're getting nearer to the destination they're heading.

"Here we go, guys. Nice and easy." said Po, softly.

They went over from the valley to head over to Croc Hill and they got there and sees a group of crocs and rhinos in the front and by the time Pyro and the others saw them coming, they knew it was their time to fight.

"Welcome to our territory." Pyro snarled.

Po and Shifu took a look at Pyro and Shifu asked, "So, you're Pyro, correct?"

"That's me and I'm the leader of this dump."

A little short, but this is just a warm-up. The next step is WAR, BABY!!! (laughing manically) Sorry, had to get it out of my system.
