Master's Hallucinations
Chpt. 4: The End
As Shifu was running, he heard Tai Dai's pounding feet running after him.
He knew if he didn't find shelter soon then he would die. Shifu was strong but, not strong enough to face Tai Dai. Not yet, anyway. Especially, not alone.
He stopped for a breath when he thought he was safe. But that was the key word. Thought. The gorilla's mighty warriors encircled him.
"I'm a gonner!" Shifu thought seeing Shiwin and Gina Won behind the warriors.
"Good Job, men!" A booming voice roared. Tai Dai. "He dies…TONIGHT!"
At this, The warriors cheered and tied Shifu up. They began to drag 30,000 miles to their camp. By the time they arrived, Shifu was dust covered with many scratches and bruises but worst of all he had a black eye that hurt almost as bad as the loss of his Dragon Warrior.
The warriors swung Shifu who landed on a pile of sharp rocks covered in bugs. This caused him more cut, bruises and bites that Shifu could've ever counted.
When dusk came, Shifu was sure that he lost a lot of blood and was surprised he was even still alive. Tai Dai picked him and squeezed his body in his wide hand.
"Are you ready? Ready to DIE!" The mutant roared and squeezed him so hard bones crunched and snapped as Shifu blinked to try to hold back the tears. Failing, one tear streaked down his dust covered face cleaning a few pieces of fur and landed on the gorilla's thumb.
"What's this? Shifu? Crying?" The fearsome gorilla laughed evilly.
As they tied him to a long pole, stuck it in the ground in the middle of a fire pit there was only one thing he could think of. It wasn't the fact he was about to die. It wasn't the fact that he missed his one and only fiancé. It was Po and the Five. If they were here now, not only would he be saved but he would be ashamed. He had taught his students to tackle their fears and to be brave when the time came. HE had done just the opposite. Their master had ran away when he couldn't or wouldn't face his family. He taught them to be loyal and he ran away like the coward he was. Why couldn't he just have courage. He was his Fault Po was dead, his fault they were probably getting beat up and cut.
The last words he whispered to himself were… "I love you guys more than you could ever know. I'm am sorry for being a coward and filling your haed with things not even I couldn't do when it came to it. I'm sorry."
He felt bad though. Po had risked his life for nothing. The life Po wanted to save was hanging there about to die.
Suddenly a burning sensation surrounded him. With every once of strength left he opened his eyes. He was engulfed in flame. He was being burned at the stake. Suddenly he began to wheeze and choke on the smoke.
Though no one could hear him he began to cry. Not cry…more like sob like a baby. Then his eyes closed for possibly the last time.
