AN. Hello I'm back, I was busy so here is the chapter. The first two chapters have been edited as I got a Beta reader A big thank you to TheSupernova for editing and KungFuPrincess, TheSupernova(Again), Warrior – Angel Of Darkness, Fallen Angel and Guest all your reviews were noted and happily accepted. (The authors notes for other chapters are unchanged.)

"Look Constable Hau this is unnecessary Po is and has been in the cell all day there is no way he could have done the said damage to that village." Shifu stated this conversation was getting tiresome very quickly due to the elephant's complete disregard for everything but the rules.

"Shifu you know as well as I do that the criminal must go to the local jail to be transferred to Chor-Gom prison, due to the Masters connections with him you are all deemed unfit to detain him." The Constable challenged.

"We are deemed unfit? Might I remain you who captures all of the criminals around here as it's not you, or your team of paperweights." Shifu argued now completely losing his patience

"Watch your mouth Master Shifu, might I remind you who is in control of your Kung Fu permits." The Constable stated an evil smile consuming his face when he saw Shifu's drop. Knowing he had lost the argument Shifu turned around heading out of the Hall of Heroes towards the dungeon to collect Po, without turning around Shifu decided to ask one more question

"You said the decision is out of both of our hands, may I ask then in which hands does it sit?" Shifu stood in the doorway to the dungeon located in the back corner of the Hall of Heroes waiting patiently for the answer

"The decision has been given to the highest authority, who was informed by messenger this morning. The emperor will decide what happens to the Dragon Warrior now."

This is not good was the only thing that was going through Shifu's mind at that moment. The current emperor hated the Dragon Warrior, according to him Po was a disgrace to the name. Was it because of his species which most people deemed unfit for Kung Fu? No. Was it his maturity which could be seen as inappropriate for that of a warrior? No. It was the fact the emperor felt that the Dragon Warrior got more attention than him and was loved and celebrated by the people more. Jealousy is what drives the emperor to hate Po so much in fact that Shifu knew what the emperor would decide as he had already tried before.

"Monkey is Po still not awake?" Shifu asked Monkey as he unlocked and opened the heavy iron door to find Monkey mediating and Po still sprawled on his sleeping mat

"Help me carry him then." Shifu said with a sigh

"Why and I'm not allowed to leave until after my punishment am I not." Monkey asked confused about the situation at hand

"Things changed Monkey you have been pardoned on terms of tricked by a close friend and Po is to be moved to Chor-Gom, awaiting verdict from the emperor himself." Shifu said his voice lined with sadness

"WHAT you have got to be kidding the emperor he'll-" Monkey started screaming only to be interrupted by Shifu

"I know but there is nothing I can do. We might have been able to convince them he hadn't been there if he was uninjured, but trying to say he got that bruise by running into a door, I don't think we will have much luck, do you?"

"Been where Master?" Monkey asked obviously not following.

"Sorry Monkey you weren't there. There were reports of someone attacking the Musician's village. They believe it was Po." Shifu told Monkey who was beyond himself with disbelief

"But that's absurd Po would never." Monkey started before Shifu interrupted him again

"I know that Monkey, but that's not the worse part. Reports also say that the panda that attacked the village took a severe blow to the head and would have a mark like the one Po is carrying now."

Viper, Crane and Mantis were sat around the table in the kitchen with a stir fry when Monkey walked in.

"Hey Monkey aren't you meant to be in the dungeon." Mantis asked while stuffing his face with steamed vegetables

"Not anymore." Monkey replied taking a seat next to the praying mantis

"How come?" Crane asked eating his food with more grace then the insect the other side of the table

"Po got all the blame; they believe I was tricked into doing it." Monkey replied filling his bowl with a portion of the stir fry

"So what happens now we can't let Po reach Chor-Gom you know what will happen." Viper said causing an awkward silence to fill the room, nobody wanted to think about that

"So where is Tigress?" Monkey asked trying to break the awkward silence

"She hasn't left the training hall yet. She is really upset about Po." Viper told Monkey as she went to the sink to wash her bowl. "They have got a lot closer since he came here you know." Viper said a smile creeping on her face. "Honestly I thought they would get together soon especially in the last couple of weeks" she said before she finished with something that killed her smile "Until all this."

Tigress was fighting her way through the gauntlet of wooden warriors, her strikes and poses were perfect due to habit but her mind was distant. She fought with all her strength and fury, her actions direct expressions on how she was feeling-alone, lost, robbed and uncertain all because of the panda. She had been dating him officially for just over two weeks, which had been the best of her life ignoring the fact it was a secret, none of the others knew, well they probably had some suspicions but she had been careful. Now though he was gone and wouldn't be coming back unless someone did something unorthodox. Shifu had ordered the five not to do anything rash and under no circumstances to get involved, that wasn't going to stop Tigress however no chance. The great and mighty Master Tigress had a plan and as soon as Po left that cell tomorrow, she would put the plan into effect.

The day came as every other did. The sun rose and as soon as it broke the top of the mountain range the Gong was rung. The five as usual stepped out of the paper doors to their rooms the instant the gong was heard and as usual the panda was not in sight. But unlike usual after the good mornings were made the Dragon Warrior made no appearance and was not sent for. Today was the day that Po was to be taken to Chor-Gom and executed like some mere criminal he put in there, the mood was sad to say the least except for one who was more anxious than sad. Tigress's plan was simple; ambush the convoy, rescue Po and then hide somewhere no one would think to look for either of them.

It was morning when Po finally woke up after his hit to the head. His body was sore and the bruise on his head stung severely. He looked around to find he didn't recognise his surroundings or the voice he could hear singing just outside his cell.

"Hello" he called out to the voice hoping to get some answers

"Yes what is it" an elephant came into sight obviously the one who had been singing

"Where am I?" Po asked confused at his surroundings and situation

"You are in the local jail awaiting transfer to Chor-Gom for execution." The elephant informed him displeased with the conversation

Why what did I do?" Po asked growing more scared at what he was being told

"You are to be executed by order of the emperor for the destruction of the musicians village as well as our own, and for the murder of two innocent lives." The elephant answered bluntly

"WHAT?" Po questioned obviously in disbelief "This can't be happening, oh no this can't be happening I didn't do those things did I?" Po whispered while lying down on his bunk, while covering his face with his forearm

"What do you mean by did I?" the constable asked

"I don't remember anything." Po answered, not bothering to look at Constable Hau

"Define anything panda."

"I don't even know who I am or what my name is."
