Chapter 15: Po's Angels

It was early morning and Po was the only one awake after the carnage war between him and Pyro. Now that he got rid of his childhood nightmare, he could only think about his biological parents. As the sun started to turn an orange-red color, there is still night blue in the background and he could feel the wind stroking all over his fur.

All of a sudden, he heard someone coming and someone was holding a paper lantern, and in comes Shifu and Crane. Po sighed and saw them coming in without noticing.

"Good morning, panda." Shifu said.

"Morning, Shifu, Crane."

"Morning to you also." Crane greeted.

They could see the expression on his face, like he's really bothered about something on his little mind. Shifu came over to him and asked," What's on your mind?"

Po sighed sadly and responds, "Nothing, master."

"Come on, panda. There's something on your mind. What is it?"

"Well, it's... my parents."

Shifu and Crane turned to each other and realized that Po thinks highly of his bio parents and wonders what would happen if they're here now. Shifu turned to him and asked, "Po, what would you do if they're here right now?"

Po blinked his eyes twice and stares blankly at Shifu about the question and then answers, "I'm not sure, master. If they were here now, I would definitely get a hug and kiss from them and thell them how much I miss them and I love them very much and that they made a most difficult, yet respectful decision to give me up to another caretaker who's provided me for my life. So, I think that's all I can say if they're here."

"Do you ever feel like a part of them is here with you?" asked Crane.

"Honestly, I always feel like they're in my spirit, heart and mind, even though they're not physically here. I do feel them spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. I wish they were here physically, though."

"Panda, I know you've been through a rough time since Pyro killed them several years ago and it seems like you've been lonely, hurt and sad. But, you know, everything always happens for a reason and the best thing we can only do is think of them fondly. Your parents know you were the best thing that ever happened to you and they could never forget you." Shifu said.

Po chuckled softly and realized that Shifu was right. He felt like his parents were his providers and they gave their life to him and he would always feel grateful that Mr. Ping brought him to his life. He looked at them and said, "Yeah, I do feel lucky that they think so much about me and I would never forget about them, even though I was a baby cub."

Shifu couldn't help but smile at Po and thinking that there's always a part of him that will always be around. Po took one look at Shifu and gave him a hug. Crane chuckled a little as he saw this unfold, then he asked, "Can I join in?"

Shifu turned around and nodded and then Crane came in next to Po and hugged him also. They let go of each other and then walked back to the bunkhouse before the others woke up. They started talking to each other and laughing and just being silly. As soon as they got to the bunkhouse, they were early and they didn't even wake up yet. Then, as the gong starts banging, Tigress, Viper, Monkey and Mantis popped out of their rooms and said, "Good morning, master!"

Po, Shifu and Crane were standing there in front of them and said, in unsion, "Good morning, students."

Shifu turned to Crane and asked him to stand in front of his door and stood there, like he's done a million times. Then, Shifu said, "Now I know you all had a good night's rest after the battle with Pyro yesterday, so we're all gonna start some heavy training. Understood?"

"Yes, master!"

He looked around and saw something amiss. He asked, "Where's Musaki?"

Then, the door opens and out comes Musaki and sees everyone awake and staring at him. He silently said, "Okay, weird."

"Good morning, Musaki." said Shifu.

"Morning, Shifu, everyone. Did I miss anything?"

"Not yet. We've been waiting for you. It's time for some training."

Musaki smiled and felt like he was up for the challenge of some serious training. He looked at them and said, "Bring it on! I'll take in any challenge you give me, if those challenges don't count being body-slammed by Po, again."

"Hey, it was only one time!" Po exclaimed.

"You almost slammed my shin and tried to cut my spleen after that.... and slammed my head with your butt."

"You were moving!"

"That's because I wasn't keeping myself very still, because of the heat."

"Okay, you two. Let's head over to the training hall, while we still can, please."

At the training hall, everyone went around to spar with anyone they could most likely spar with. Musaki and Crane were the first ones to start up with. They looked at each other and Crane lowered his hazel eyes and Musaki swung his hands up and then, they started sparring with each other.

Musaki did a backflip trick and then rolled both his hands and pulled them apart, while Crane flew over to the side, making fake punches with him and then, sideswiped him with his feet and then, Musaki did a run-jump and swing trick that had everyone amazed.

"Is that all you got?" Crane asked.

"You ain't seen the half of it." Musaki said.

Musaki spun around with his arms sticking out and Crane attempted to fly around him to make him dizzy, however, that slowed down when Musaki went in extra speed and made Crane dizzy also. Then, he paused and knocked him out completely flat. Crane came back and tried to go for the stomach, but Musaki's anti-gravity lean made him miss and fell down.

"You don't want to mess with me."

Then, Crane came back and completely gave him a big kick on the face and sparred him with all his might. Musaki slowly got up and then, Shifu said, "I think I've seen enough. Great work, both of you."

"Thank you, master." they said, in unison.

Then, it was Po and Monkey's turn. They were both holding sticks in attempt to attack each other. Monkey starts swinging in and took him down with several hits of the stick and Po swung back and the two sticks clacked together, like a sword fight. Po made a backflip and spinning move along with moving the stick to a graceful poise and movement. Monkey spun around, then jump and flipped around and did the same movements with the stick, only throwing it in the air, used his tail to spin around and then, caught the stick with his right foot.

"You can't touch this." Monkey said.

Then, Po grabbed the stick and then caught sight of Monkey's paw and turned it the other way around and swiped it. Po chuckled and said, "I just did."

Monkey scoffed and rolled his eyes a little, for humorus attempts and then they both knocked each other with the swords, with several hits and misses all together. Then, Shifu halted the moves and said, "Okay, I have to say, I am really impressed with the both of you."

"Thank you, master."

Several hours had passed and it's nighttime. Po is sitting in the Peach Tree, alone, thinking about his parents again. He feels the wind blowing through his fur and the moon shone down all around him. It feels like he's alone and has no one in the world, ever since he defated Pyro. He's afraid that he would forget about what his parents looked like and who they were.

Then, a distant figure called his name, whispering....

"Po..."

Po slowly rose his head and see who's calling his name. He saw that it was only nothing and thought it was his imagination.

The the voice came back again....

"Po...."

He quickly rose to his feet and looked around to see if there's anyone there. He started panting nervously until he sees a white light from behind. He slowly turns around and sees two panda angels, smiling at him. He walked slowly and sees them for the first time.

"Hello, my son."

He gasped softly in shock and sees the eyes that he's familiar with. He looked at them and whispered, "Mom? Dad?"

"That's right, honey." said his mom.

Po suddenly has mixed emotions about what he just saw. He smiled at them and said, "How did you guys--"

"Well, we figured you thought about us for so long and well, we've been thinking about you also." said his dad.

"I-I can't believe this is really happening." Po said, his voice breaking.

"Neither do we. You were the one thing that's been on our minds."

"Son, I know it's been a long time since that carnage with Pyro and his gang of evil colts, but I couldn't them take away your life and I had to risk mine for you and that's pretty much the reason why I left you with Mr. Ping. I know he's been by your side all your life."

"Yeah, he has taken better care of me a lot, growing up. And he's always there for me, when I need it, even if noodles is the one thing on his mind."

"Who would've guessed that he's into noodles?"

"Nobody knows, but his noodles always puts other animals in a good place."

"Please understand why we had to leave you here. We love you and everything and those evil crocs ands rhinos were about to take your life away and we don't want that to happen, and they tried to take away ours and that would mean leaving you here without someone to take care of, so your father had to give you up with Mr. Ping, and we looked over you in heaven and see you grow up to a big panda."

"It's all because of you guys. No wonder I missed you so much."

"We missed you too and we're very proud of you."

Po's mother rubbed his head and Po felt it and it was really real. He grabbed his mother's hand and felt it too, like it was real. His dad came in and touched his head also and then, they both leaned over for a hug. Soon enough, Tigress, Crane, Viper, Monkey, Mantis, Musaki and Shifu ran over to the steps of the Sacred Peach Tree and saw Po with some angels, which resulted in surprise and shock.

Musaki asked, "Hey, dude. Who are they?"

Po and his bio parents turned around to see them standing there. The others received a shock and Tigress said, "Po, are these your--"

"Yep, they're my real parents." Po answered.

"And we would just like to say thank you for keeping a guidance over our son and become the hero that he is today." said his mother.

"You're welcome." Shifu said.

"You kept this kid's head up straight and I like that." said his father.

"It's what we do here and that's always how we do."

"And that's always how they do here." Crane said.

"And I see you must be the Furious Five, right?"

"That's right. I'm Crane and this is Mantis, Monkey, Viper and Tigress." Crane said.

"And who's this little one?"

"I resent that. My name is Musaki."

Po's dad took one look at him and saw that there was a resemblance between him and Po and said, "You look just like my son."

"Thanks, only I'm smaller than him and have blue eyes."

"So, you're his little brother?"

"It kinda looks that way. I've been taken in for a year and so, I love it here and your son is cool to be around with."

"We get along with him so well, he makes us laugh, makes great noodles, and always has this determination, greatness and silliness that affects all of us here. It makes us have good days." said Viper.

"He actually makes my day cooler." Mantis said.

"You must be proud to have a son like him." Monkey said.

"We are."

They flew back to Po and his mom told him, "Well, we're gonna go back to heaven."

"Already? But you just got here. I don't want to forget you guys again." said Po.

"We won't and we hope you don't, either. We're gonna watch over you until we're together again. We'll always be here, no matter where you go." said his father.

Po's eyes were welling up with tears and he smiled a little and said, "I'll miss you both so much."

"So will we."

They both gave Po a hug also and his tears fell from his eyes and into the ground and then, they both flew up the sky and flew back up to heaven and left the wind blowing. Tears were still falling from his eyes and started crying softly. Shifu and Musaki walked over to him and Musaki asked, "Are they really your parents?"

Po sniffled and turned to him and said, "They're really them."

"I bet they must be happy for you." said Shifu.

"They are. They really are, master."
