Alright, here's the next chapter people, so here it goes. Also, I went back a chapter and changed the location, so don't hate me for it. Disclaimer: I don't own KFP.
Chapter 13: Comes Down to This
As the morning bell rang, everyone got up and said their good mornings, save for Edon, Seff, Niko and Cobra, who just walked with their heads down.
Viper slithered next to Cobra, and her face was full of concern.
"Cobra, what's wrong." Viper asked. Cobra looked up at her, but all he did was look back down and sighed.
"Nothing." came Cobra's reply. Everyone made their way to breakfast except for Seff who just went outside. Edon followed them. Once outside, they sat at the top of the thousand stairs.
"What are we going to do?" Seff asked.
"We can't do anything, we're powerless against the emperor and his armies. There's nothing to do except to surrender." Edon said, sound completely unlike himself. Edon and Seff continued to talk about th esituation, while unknown to them both, Tigress was listening to every word they say.
She noticed that they were starting to get up, so she headed back inside, shortly afterwords Seff and Edon also walked back inside.
Over the next few hours, everyone did something to pass the time until high noon.
Po was at the kitchen table, talking with Crane, Mantis and Monkey, Viper and Tigress was talking in Viper's room about what she heard, Seff waited in his room, thinking and Edon was in his room, playing with his gadgets.
Several hours had passed and the bell had struck high noon. With deep sighs, everyone walked out on their way to China's shores.
Upon arriving, they saw that they were completely surrounded by the vast chinese army. As they walked towards the end of the cliff, they spotted Zynneth flying in infront of the group. Seeing hir made Seff and Edon's blood boil and they couldn't help but let out menacing growls.
"Guys, there has to be a plan." Po whispered nervously.
"There is no plan, we leave, and they'll let you live, end of story." Seff said as cold as usual.
"You can't be serious." Viper cut in.
"We are serious." came Edon's reply.
The 4 walked towards the ship and walked aboard. They saw that the ship was covered in crates and barrels. They wondered what was in them.
The five and Po only watched as the ship took off from port. Once the ship was about half a mile away, they heard Zynneth say 'Do it'.
A catapault launched a fireball at the ship. Everyone froze as the fireball made impact on the ship, igniting the barrels and crates filled with gunpowder. There was explosion after explosion until there was only pieces of debris floating on top of the water.
Teh six stared wide-eyed at the wreckage as Zynneth laughed evily at the warriors she just blew to pieces.
"You won't get away with this!" Tigress said, unsheathing her claws.
"Oh, won't I? Look around you, sou're surrounded entirely by my army. Give up, you lost." Zynneth said as troops started to close in on the 6.
"We have to get out of here." Tigress said as they fought their way out of the crowd of warriors. Once they were out, they made a run to the valley. Once back at they valley, everyone followed Tigress to the thousand stairs.
"Tigress, no offense, but I don't think that the palace is safe anymore." Po pointed out. Tigress just growled, shutting Po up. Once they made it to the thousand stairs, they spotted Tigress' target: Niko's carriage. They quickly strapped the horses back to the carriage and they told them to go back to Seff and Edon's village. The horses complied and were on their way.
XXXXX
Several days had passed and they finally made it.
Niko's carriage had lots of food, so starving wasn't a problem. Once they were in the village, they went to the blacksmith shop.
There, they saw Tai working on an anvil.
"Tai, we need your help." Tigress said as he walked towards him.
"What can I do for you." Tai said as he hammered on a blade.
"Seff, Edon, Niko and Cobra were forced to exile themselves from China. Then they were tricked and now they're dead. And now, the army is after us." Tigress explained.
Tai stopped what they were doing and looked over to them. They were all bruised and were very tired.
"Looks like Zynneth is back. She always despised their family. I thought it was over once they killed Seff and Edon's parents, but I was wrong. I'll let you all stay here. We defended this small village from bigger armies than China's before." Tai said as he got up and walked out of the shop.
"I'l go alert the village, follow me." Tai said as everyone followed him towards the center of the village. In the center iof the village was a river. Tai stuck his hand in the river and used all of his strength to pull something ou tif the river. What he pulled out was a giant horn. Tai blew into it and everyone in the village rushed out of their homes with weapons, either blades, axes, hammers, maces, crossbows, longbows, and few even had guns of their own. Everyone with ranged weapons ran towards the top of the hill and started to set up camp, while everyone with CQC weapons waited at the bottom of the hill.
"Wow, this is AWESOME." Po said as he looked all around to see wolf villagers all with weapons.
They then heard the ground rumbling and they knew that the chinese army was decending upon them.
Alright, the action in starting up. I didn't do too well on this chap. There was a lot of moving around so I couldn't get good details. Anyway, I hope you guys like it and I'll have the next up ASAP. Till next time and as always, have a nice day. Peace.
