Sup guys? Thought that I'd write another chapter! What do you guys think of it so far? What do you think will happen to Kiro? Has he changed? Guess you'll have to keep reading to find out! Here's the next chapter…
"Uh, Kiro?" Po said.
"Yeah, Po?" Came the reply.
"You're on fire."
"So I am." Kiro said.
He summoned a sheet of water above him that splashed down, dousing the flames.
"Ah, that's better." Kiro remarked.
"You're burned, badly!" Mantis said.
"Eh, it's just a flesh wound!" Kiro shrugged it off.
"KILL HIM!" The Emperor shouted.
Guards and soldiers swarmed towards the tiger, who was clutching his staffs.
Kiro put the two ends of his staffs together and lengthened them to their full length. He spun his weapon around, slamming the electric ends into his foes and sending them crumpling to the ground.
The white tiger then ran to the chained Five and broke their handcuffs.
"RUN! GET OUT, NOW! I'LL GET PO AND CATCH UP LATER!" He shouted as enemies continued to swarm him.
"Hey buddy? A little help!" Po called out.
The Five ran out of the throne room and followed the path out that they had been taken in.
"Hold on, P—ffff! AUGH!" Kiro sputtered as he got a swift punch to the stomach by Su Wu.
"A valiant effort, tiger, but you're no match for all of us." She cackled.
"Chain him and bring him before me!" Feng boomed.
Everyone did as they were told, and soon Kiro was kneeling before the grandmaster in handcuffs.
"Quite an impressive show that you put on there, but fruitless never less. You're loyalty to me is displeasing. Obviously I will have to result to…harsher terms to keep you on my side."
The dragon motioned for one of his servants and the rat brought him a vile with brown liquid inside.
"Please tell me that's not what I think it is…" Kiro said.
"If you think that it's a Qu-Za loyalty potion, you are correct!" The grandmaster cheered.
"Oh, good. It wasn't what I thought." Kiro sighed.
"You're devotion belongs to us. After drinking this, you will never sway to their side again." The Emperor hissed.
"No! Kiro!" Po called out.
Wan Wu marched over to the white tiger and forced the liquid down his throat.
"Gah! That tastes horrible! Could I have some tea to wash out this taste?" Kiro spat.
"It is only a matter of minutes now before you join our team forever." Feng boomed.
Kiro's burned and scarred face scanned the room, looking at the criminals around him.
"It's too bad about your face; you were actually really cute." Wing Wu said.
"Well, that sucks then, doesn't it? Besides, I have a girlfriend." Kiro snarled. "I don't feel any different. Maybe it's not working."
"Oh, it's working. What do you feel like doing now?" The serpent beside Feng asked.
"I feel like…beating you all into a pulp?" Kiro said, smiling.
"Wrong answer. Try again." Feng said.
"Fine. I feel…" Kiro's voice trailed off as thoughts of conquering China, destroying the Five and Dragon Warrior, and obeying Feng flooded his mind. "…like serving my true master and ruling these pathetic people in this country,"
Po's eyes widened. No… He's fallen into their grasp!
"GOOD!" Feng laughed.
"Release him!" The Emperor ordered.
Kiro's chains were taken off of him and he walked over to the mortified panda.
"Sorry, panda, but the Emperor was right. We have lost the war on crime! Too bad that you were just caught in the cross fire."
*With the Five*
Tigress and the others burst out of the cavern and ran for the hills. They stopped when they were a good mile away from the enemy fortress.
"He…saved…us…again!" Mantis huffed.
"But…Po…is…still in there!" Monkey gasped.
Tigress stood up, having already caught her breath. "We can't just march back down there and save them, so we need a more tactical approach."
"Like what?" Viper asked.
"We need to wait until dark, then we make our move to rescue them." Came the reply.
"We don't know when Feng is gonna make his move! It could be tomorrow for all we know!" Crane said worriedly.
"We have to take that risk. There's nothing more that we can do." Tigress stated.
"Well, better get cozy everyone, because we're gonna be here for a little while." Viper remarked.
*With Po*
Kiro's turned! He's not going to be the same every again!
"I have a bone to pick with you, panda!" Su Wu spat as she marched up to the cuffed Po.
"Why?" He stated, hiding his nervousness, "Is it because I kicked your kitty butt last time?"
Su hissed and swiped her claws across Po's shoulder, not breaking the skin, but shredding the fur in that spot.
"Grandmaster," Su purred, turning to Feng, "I would like to smash this panda to pieces."
"I will grant you that wish, Wu, but only on one condition. You are not to kill him." Feng boomed.
"Aw, you take the fun out of everything! Deal!"
Po was unchained and pushed forward.
The guards and criminals made a circle around the two warriors, blocking any escape for both of them.
Kiro stood at the side of Feng, grinning at the scene before him.
"This time, panda, you die!" Su snarled.
