KFP: The Kung Fu Masters' Visit
Ch. 2: The Glowing Lights
We cut to the a hidden shelter where we see Shen looking over a beautiful lake from the view and the Soothsayer watches the Kung Fu masters along with Wolf Boss arrive at the gateway. She thought to herself, "Sometimes visitors have great qualities."
The four enter the gateway after the Soothsayer follows them.
"It is wonderful to see you three Kung Fu masters", said Soothsayer, "Looks like this fellow wolf completely lured you away from your attempts at the marketplace."
"You know that?", asked Viper.
"Yes, I do, Master Viper", said Soothsayer, "Now, if you follow me, Shen is at the shelter, the one that I made for him."
"Really?", asked Tigress, "Why did you make that? Did you get some help?"
"Yes, indeed", said Soothsayer, "After the tower was burned to the ground and after Shen came back alive, we had to make a few modifications in the process. Shen's parents also made another tower just for him before they died."
"Must've been pretty sad for this peacock", said Tai Lung, "Is there anything that we can do to make him feel better?"
"We can chat with Shen for a while", said Wolf Boss and the four walked towards the shelter where Shen continues to look at the beautiful lake before the peacock overlord turns his head towards them.
"Well, hello", said Shen, "Welcome. Good to see you in shape again, eh, Tai Lung?"
"Never better", said Tai Lung, "I've been doing some reflexes before we came here. Just wanted to get pumped up to face another threat someday."
"So, can we talk about your parents, my lord?", asked Viper.
"Oh, that", said Shen and we cut to the five sitting on a bench near the burnt tower which is almost completed watching him explaining about his parents, "For as long as I can remember, I watched my parents work on the fireworks and they have seem to amaze me with lots of delight. That's why I made these wolves make those cannons to see if all of the citizens of China would kneel before it's power. Then, one day, the Soothsayer told me that a warrior of black & white can defeat me and since it was a panda, that's why I realized my heart was filled with hate and lust for power. I hope you two masters, Tigress and Viper of the Valley of Peace can forgive for what I have done to you fine warriors."
"We forgive you, Shen", said Tigress.
"Hold on a minute", said Tai Lung, "You mean to tell me that it happened after I got defeated by Dragon Warrior? I hate to tell you this, my lord, but that's pretty sadistic."
"I know", said Shen, "I would've looked at myself in the mirror due to my errors, but I was blinded with power and my lust for hatred and vengeance."
"It's alright, Shen", said Viper, "Sometimes, you just have to listen to your heart so you can change when you make some errors or mistakes. It's simple."
"Well, I guess I already did", said Shen, "Now, all of the people of Gongmen City love me because of that."
"That's good news", said Wolf Boss, "When I worked for Shen, he kind of mistreated me. I was only trying to make him proud of me since we were just following his orders."
"Then, I apologize, my wolf friend", said Shen, "I should've treated you a lot more fairly. Will you forgive me?"
"Apology accepted", said Wolf Boss.
"Now that I've told you all everything", said Shen, "There's something I want to show you when night falls."
"Oh, and what would that be?", asked Tai Lung.
"You'll see soon enough", said Shen and later that night, we see the peacock overlord walks with the three Kung Fu masters and the wolf leader to the river outside of the Gongmen City gates. They go into a forest near the mountains where they see glowing lights shimmering in the dark shadows.
"What are those lights coming from?", asked Viper.
"Those are not lanterns", said Shen, "They are very much like light bugs. Come with me near the river and we'll watch them glow very brightly."
The peacock overlord and the others went near the river, but did not touch the water. Nearly three minutes later, everything in the river and forest of Gongmen City glow brightly, causing the five to be amazed by it. As the fire bugs went past the Kung Fu masters and the fortune telling goat, Wolf Boss sat next to Shen in a log near the river.
"You know", said Wolf Boss, "When I was a pup, I would've given anything to make such beautiful lights like these."
"I'm sure you will someday, wolf", said Shen.
"This is so beautiful", said Viper.
"I've never seen anything like this before my entire life", said Tigress and Tai Lung puts his hands on her shoulders.
"Neither have I", said Tai Lung and the group continued to look at the light bugs shining their last light before they fly away.
"What should we do next before we leave?", asked Tigress.
"You should spend the night in my tower", said Shen, "All of you. Would you like that?"
Tigress, Viper, and Tai Lung looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement.
One more chapter and I will be finished with the story. It'll not only be a romance, but an action chapter as well. So, until then, enjoy and leave out some reviews, please!
