I don't own Kung fu panda or it's characters.

Po was unconscious; he was belly up floating in a river through a forest. The panda had crashed through a few trees after he'd been hit. He kept floating along until he hit a bridge and stopped. A familiar person looked down at him.

A few hours later…

Po woke up to find a pair of eyes staring back at him. "AAUUUGHHH… owww. What happened, where am I?"

"Patience, dragon warrior." A familiar goat said from nearby.

"Where's Bryan?" Po asked.

"He is over there." The soothsayer said pointing near a tree. Po looked over and noticed Bryan standing near a tree.

"I'm surprised you two remember so little. You were so young when it happened." The soothsayer said.

Po then felt something in his head, screaming and shouting.

"Maybe you do remember."

"Ah it's just a stupid nightmare." Po said.

"Nightmare? Or memory?" the soothsayer asked.

Po then looked around when everything seemed to change. The trees turned to grass and pandas appeared. He noticed a father and mother waving to a panda cub.

"Young Shen was in line to rule Gongmen City. But he wanted more. I foretold that someone would stand in his way. A panda. But I never could've foretold what happened next." The soothsayer replied.

Po was thrown into another flashback where a peacock was leading an invasion of a panda village. The peacock shouted for the wolves to kill a panda cub but it's father used a hammer to knock them away.

"Take our son and run away!" the panda shouted.

Po then noticed the same toy he had when he was a kid was under a pile of rubble.

"Don't fight it." The soothsayer said. "Let it flow."

Po then realized something, it was raining. Remembering how much pain he was in right now he began to start the inner peace. Po saw everything, he saw his mom leaving him in a radish cart and her going to sacrifice herself to save him.

Bryan was looking at a river when something caught his eye; Po was moving a droplet of water on his arms. How was he doing that? 'This must be that Inner Peace thing Shifu told me about.' Bryan thought. He watched Po continue his Inner Peace and move the droplet into a plant which moved the water to the ground. Po seemed to be in great pain. 'That's how Inner Peace can be achieved!' Bryan thought. 'Through great pain!'

"Bryan." The Soothsayer said as she walked forward. "I can sense pain in you. Your past is even more painful than Po's.

"What?" Bryan replied. "I could feel what was going on in Po's head. He had his parents killed by the very person who is trying to destroy his present family! What could be worse? You may have forgotten that I know nothing about my past!"

"I don't know. But I sense great pain in you. You two may not have such a happy beginning. But that doesn't change who you are now. The only thing that matters is what you choose to be right now." The soothsayer said.

At that Po seemed to remember the better things that happened to him. He saw it flash before his eyes; he saw him trying to get in the jade palace, him landing in front of Tigress, him figuring out the dragon scroll, the battle with Tai lung, the Wuxi finger hold, then he saw him as a baby with his dad.

Bryan seemed to be going through something similar. He saw the moment where he pulled the swords from 2 stones in the ground, him finding Tigress floating in the river, when he saved Tigress from shadow Bryan again, the trip to Gongmen city, the battle with Shen and Shadow Bryan in the tower, right to when Tigress hugged him in the jail. Then he saw something else, he was watching his friend, no wait, his best friend since before preschool blasted through the chest and dying right before him. He came back to reality on the ground.

"Bryan what happened?" Po asked.

"I just saw my friend being killed right before me." Bryan replied surprising Po. "and I think I know who was responsible."

"So, who are you Panda?" The soothsayer asked.

"I'm Po. And I'm gonna need a hat." He replied.

"What about you?" She asked Bryan.

"I'm Bryan, and I'm not losing a second family to Shadow Bryan." He said before they ran off into the forest.

Meanwhile, in Gomen jail.

Tigress had finally woken up, she felt like she'd been hit by a sledgehammer in the back of the head.

"About time you woke up." Shen said.

"Where are the others?" Tigress asked immediately.

"the rest of the five are behind bars. As for your little dragon warrior and other friend they are in the next world." Shen replied.

That last sentence seemed to almost knock Tigress out again. Po and Bryan were dead? Tigress couldn't believe it. She was too stunned to speak. Shadow Bryan then entered the jail.

"Yes, I could hear them screaming in pain as they flew past the wall. You were too late to do anything; if only you had been faster you might have been able to save them." Shadow Bryan said.

Viper could hear them across the room as she was in her cell. 'Those bastards' she thought. 'They're trying to make Tigress think it's her fault.'

"I look forward to seeing you all killed in front of Gongmen city tomorrow on our fleet." Shadow Bryan said. "Poor, stupid tiger. You thought you could stop me and it's because of you that everything you ever fought for is about to be ruled over or destroyed." Shadow Bryan then left the room.

'It's over' Tigress thought. 'There's nothing we can do and everything's about to be destroyed. It's because of me that Bryan and Po are dead.' She thought. Tigress then began to cry for the first time in who knows how long.

Shadow Bryan left with a smirk on his face. He had broken the strongest of the furious five. 'I'm going to make this as painful as possible for these five.' S.B. thought as he left.

The next day.

Po and Bryan moved quickly and quietly through Gongmen City. They hadn't stopped for anything, not even for snacks (they had brought some). They were now moving towards Gomen jail when they saw something over the rooftops, it was a sail and it had the same symbol on it that Shen had on his feathers.

"Found them!" Bryan said before him and Po sprinted towards the sails.

Meanwhile on the boats, the Furious Five had been chained and hung up on the flagship. Shen and Shadow Bryan were waiting to get to the harbor so they could execute the five and take over china. This had possibly been the best day of their lives.

"Boss." Came a familiar voice. "There's a bridge in the way." The wolf boss then pointed at a bridge with some civilians on it.

"Leave that to me." S.B said before running to the front of the fleet.

"What's he doing?" Viper asked the other five.

They then saw Shadow Bryan hold out his hand and blast the bridge with a Ki Blast that destroyed the bridge and killed all of the civilians on it.

"YOU MONSTER!" Tigress shouted. This evil being was killing people just because they were in the way!

"Monster? I'm not a monster! I'M A GOD!" He said to the five.

About a minute ago…

"Ok Po, we're almost there. Now I think we should…" Bryan was cut off by a large explosion. 'Oh no, please no, please tell me we're not too late!' he thought.

Within the next five seconds Bryan and Po were at the river. No one had seen them yet.

"Po!" Bryan whispered. "You go ahead, I need to try something. Something's got me thinking."

"Fine, just get back here soon." Po replied as he jumped onto a rooftop.

Tigress was still looking at the destroyed bridge when something caught her eye. She saw an unmistakable figure on a roof. It couldn't be, yet it was.

"Po?" She asked.
