(Skipper's POV)
"Kowalski!" I shouted as my second-in-command disappeared in a flash of green. "Well Skipper it's just you and me," Kai said. "And me," Po said as he walked up. "and us," Viper said as Tigress and Shifu arrived. "Never again!" Kai shouted wrapping his blades around Viper, tigress, and shifu. "No!" Po shouted as Shifu and the remaining members of the furious five turned to jade and then into balls of light. The balls of chi that were Kowalski, shifu, tigress, and viper flew on to kai's belt. "Releash my friends," Po said. "No I won't releash your friends," Kai said.
"You going to take his chi?" I said. "No," Kai said deploying some of his army. "Destory the panda…And bring that Penguin to me!" Shen, Blowhole, Joey, Marlene, and the other members of Kai's jade army surged towards Po. "oh no," Po said. Meanwhile I found myself surrounded by my former team. Jombie Private and Kowalski grabbed onto me while Rico hacked up a jade rocket launcher. The three of them looked at me with blank emotionless stares while Kai spoke thru them, "You put up a nice fight skipper…but I'm afraid that makes me more determined to take your chi." I jumped up into the air and corkscrewed the jade creatures that were once my comrades. I then jumped up again and performed my omega-boom leaving a gaint scorchmark on the ground. Kai was a little burnt but still standing and clapping, "that almost hurt."
Kai sent another one of his jade warrior at me and this one looked like…Dave!? Jombie Dave attacked me with his tentaceles and dragged me before Kai. "Now I'll take your…" "Shakabooey!" Po shouted as he used the iron belly technique on Kai knocking him across the zoo. "Oh that is beyond annoying!" Kai shouted. The distraction caused Jombie dave to releash his grip enough to allow me to escape. "Wow!" I said, "Your really dumb as a jombie!" Po punched Jombie dave in the face then held his paw, "Ow!" Po said. That one punch was enough to smash Jombie dave to bits. A ball of chi flew from where dave stood and flew back towards Kai. "That's it's no more Mr. nice spirit!" Kai shouted throwing his blades at me. I turned and noticed that I was in front of the penguin habitat. There was a ramp leading up a platform with an elevator in the middle of it. The platform was the exact size and shape of the concrete glacier in the middle of the penguin habitat. I blowhole decided that if the main structure was destroyed he could destroy penguin HQ with this platform. The structure that blowhole built over the penguin, lemur, otter, and chimp habitats was still standing in all it's oppressive metal glory was above that.
I ended up on the platform directly above the penguin habitat. From this vantage point I saw the last of blowhole's forces shattered in small camps throughtout the zoo and central park beyond. Kai was now charging up the ramp let out a barrage of insults and put-downs. His shouting fell on deaf ears as I boarded the elevator and ascended to blowhole's structure. I stepped off the elevator and had a sword pointed at my face. "What do we have here," the owner of the sword said. It was a wolf soldier that probably didn't get Shen's memo to return to their time. "What should we do?" another wolf said. "We Toture him," the wolf with the sword replied. "but lord Shen told us to drop any intruders from the roof." "The battle is over," the wolf said, "and Lord Shen is currently under the beck and call of Kai! And need I remind you that Kai is our boss now!"
"Wait you work for kai now?" I said. "It was either help him or join his army of mindless Jombies," another wolf said. And then the entire structure shock knocking my captors to the ground. I looked out the window out to the vast platform and saw a look-out tower fall to the pavement below. There was nobody in the tower but then it slammed into a gun turrent that had gunners inside. Both towers fell and landed on top of a gaint crossbow which splitered on impact. A water tower then fell over onto a airship that was just undocked and was moving away. The balloon on top exploded blowing out the windowing and causing some the metal of one of the supporting struts to catch fire and start to melt. There was a loud groaning sound as the entire platform tilted dangerously to one side.
The sound of the elevator shift snapping below rattled the structure. "Engage the emergency supports!" the wolf shouted as everything not bolted down started to slide towards the faultering side. A wolf pushed a button and the platform returned to it's normal horizontal position. "What was that?" I said. "Emergency supports," the wolf replied. "What emergency supports?" I said. "We lowered the structure to be closer to the ground," another wolf said. "we may have smashed the top of the rock in the lemur habitat to bits but nobody's going to miss that." I run out of the small building and out on to the platform proper. Blowhole set up his own little town on this platform complete with a café, stores, and streets. The elevator shift contiuned up past the central building and up towards three more platforms that were all armed to the teeth with anti-aircraft guns and missile turrents.
I rushed down a "street" as one of the tanks at the front entrance use some debris as a ramp onto the structure. Great not only do I have to worry about Kai I also have to deal with whatevers left of Blowhole's forces. The tank has the stereotypical camo paintjob and it's gun was pointed in my direction. And then a laser beam hit it and it exploded it's part smashing thru the windows in some of blowhole's buildings. A trio of daleks stood where the tank used to be their glares filled with hatred(what do you expect their Daleks). "Ex…" Kai landed behind the daleks and the shockwave turned them into rubble. Kai spun his blades as he approached and the sound of metal scraping against metal filled the air. He brought fourth two of his jaleks(Jade Daleks) and sent them towards me. Another Tank drove up a ramp and landed with a loud metallic clang behind kai and fired. The Jaleks were destroyed before they could even think about attacking.
Kai wrapped his chain blades around the tank's turrent. He lifted both of the blades and then spun the tank thru the air. The tank spun slowly at first and then picked up speed and once kai was sastfied he releashed the chains. The tank flew thru the air towards me, I jumped out of the way and in slow motion avoided the tank. The tank smashed into the central building and exploded creating a massive hole. I looked down into the hole and my eyes widened in shock. The platform where the shift ascended from had collapsed taking penguin HQ with it. The penguin pool was bone-dry, cracked, and had a massive hole in the middle. The platform and probably most of the elevator shift had crashed all the way down to top secret level sixteen.
The smaller platform was now resting where one of the backup superplanes used to be. The biplanes were off to one side completely intact the rubble just feet from their position. The last two tanks that were at the front gate appeared and started to randomly fire destroying the rest of the buildings on the remains of the structure. Kai wrapped his blades around one of the tanks and spun it around smashing it into the remaining tank. There was a massive explosion that destroyed one corner of the massive platform. The caused it to lurch to one side towards the lemur habitat. The perimeter fence of the habitat was obliterated and julian's throne was smashed. The lemur's bounce-house was ripped and quickly flattened out as the Air escaped.
The wooden panels decorated with tribal designs fell off revealing the carving of a lion standing on it's back legs. The distinctive rock was cracked in several places and looked ready to crumble to dust. The plastic volcano that was the signature of Julian's "kingdom" was simply gone. I quickly realize that the remains of the brick wall that surrounded the habitat was starting to crack. I ran the other way towards the hole in the middle of the massive platform and divebombed towards the penguin habitat and the HQ sized hole. Kai took a step forward but then must have seen the massive drop and escaped before the platform became unstable. I guess even a spirit warrior has to worry about broken bones. I landed in the ruins of Kowalski's lab which was somehow still standing. Sparks were flying off of some of Kowalski's equipment and a few small chemical fires were blazing. Ruined inventions littered the floor and Kowalski's tools were shattered.
The state of Kowalski's lab was not shocking as Kowalski's lab being destroyed is a common occurance. "I seen worst," I said. And then Kai landed behind me, "Ready to have you chi taken?" "Not a chance," I said. "I will take your chi!" Kai said holding up his blade. I backed up into a table and a laser rolled to the ground in front of me. I picked it up and said, "let's not!" I lasered the blade that was raised slicing it off the chain. It clanged to the ground behind him. "What was that!" Kai said, "You could put an eye out with that thing!" I lasered the remaining blade and Kai held up his chains and roared in anger. He charged into me and knocked us both into the abyss that was once penguin HQ.
We fell past the remains of the basement and then past all the secret levels. We flew past storage, the UFO of unknown origin, the gaint eye, All the levels that I will not tell you about, level thirteen: untested and unnamed inventions, the dalek lockdown, and the secondary HQ before making a hard landing in the vehical storage/aircraft hanger. The elevator shift from blowhole's platform had crashed into the level below but thankfully missed the anti-matter fusion reactor core. Kai has fastened a blade out a piece of the backup super-plane. The chimps were at the other side of the hanger building a new super-plane. They were using cars, trucks, buses, scrap metal, and parts salvaged from the plane that was destroyed in rome. Two crashed north wind jets were also being scraped for parts. They failed to notice me or Kai standing in the middle of the hanger. mason walked up and said, "Skipper, your not supposed to be down here yet."
Kai rushed towards the super-plane under construction and destroyed it. All chimps dropped the parts they were carrying to the plane and glared at kai in frustration. "enough games Skipper!" Kai shouted, "My patience is wearing thin! Let me take your chi!" "And join your jade army?" I said, "No thank you!" "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way," I said, "give up now!" Kai eyes narrowed and he releashed his jade army. "So that's how you want to play it," I said. Kowalski, Rico and Private we at the front of the jade army. Po landed behind me, "about time you showed…" I turned around and was shocked to find that Po was now made of jade. "Oh no," I said. "Shadoosh," Kai said in a mocking tone as Jombie Po belly-slammed me. Jombie PO grabbed me by the flipper and had his pinky raised. "Oh no," I said, "the wuxi finger hold." Jombie po releashed me from the finger hold. Kai's voice boomed out of all the jombies, "Like I would allow you to die! That would be such a waste of your chi!" "Where are you Kai!" I shouted. A rhino stepped forwards and in Kai's voice said, "You can not escape the mightly kai!" "You speaking in third person now!" I said. Kai voice boomed out of jombie blowhole, "They don't call me the master of pain for nothing!" "Stop hiding behind your Jombies!" I said, "Face me!" Kai spoke thru Jombie Private, Rico, and Kowalski, "Who dares threaten the Beast of Vengenace! The Maker of Widows!"
"Get rid of your Jombies and fight me in flipper-to-hoof combat! One on one! Mono-e-mono! Man on man! Penguin on yak!" "I was once the supreme warlord of china," Kai said speaking thru jombie shen, "and once I take your chi! I will become the supreme warlord of the world!" Kai appeared in front of me his jade army blocking off my escape. "You wanted to fight me!" Kai said, "I will break you spirit and then I will take you chi!" And then a bunch of daleks showed up and the hanger filled with dalek voices, "Skipper you will pay for imprisoning us!" "Daleks can not be contained!" "You will pay for you crimes!" "You will be exterminated!" "Seek! locate! destroy!" "Seek! Locate! Exterminate!" "All lifeforms will be exterminated!" "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exter…" "SILENCE!" Kai shouted sending his Jaleks at the daleks. The Daleks made quick work of the jaleks and surprisingly that jaleks returned to behind daleks. "Exterminate Kai!" the supreme dalek announced now that it was freed from Kai's control. "Kai will be exterminated!" the special weapons dalek announced. I looked up to see the last of the structure that blowhole built being disintegrated by a dalek ship. Kai yelled in frustration and unleashed a blast of chi that sent the daleks up towards the surface. The Daleks and their ship fled the area(well at least one of the eyesores blowhole put up is gone.
Kai took a step forward and so then his army of jade figures. "Now if there is no more distractions!" Kai shouted, "let's fight!" "Yes we," I said, "but on my terms!" "What are your terms!" "If you win I'll tell you where you can get all the chi you want…and then you can take my chi," I said, "But If I win you will releash all the chi you have taken then go back to the spirit realm and never return to the earth!" "I accept you terms!" Kai said hold out his hoof. I shook it and then we bowed respectfully. "Now!" Kai said as the jade army present assorted weapons left over from blowhole's occupation, "Choose your weapon!" But before I could pick anything their was a flash of light and a massive explosion. The explosion turned Kai's army too dust and the chi orbs returned to his belt. As Kai and I stood back up staring at each other in shock, "What was that?" Kai said.
We both turned towards the epicenter of the explosion. We were shocked to find a snow leapord standing in the middle of the explosion. "Finally!" he said, "solid ground." "Who are you?" Kai asked. "Tai lung!" he said, "now if you excuse me I have to hunt down Master Shifu and Po!" "The Master shifu and po you mentioned," Kai said held up two jade amulets, "do they have to have any resemble to these two!" jade Shifu and Po appeared in front of Kai, "You're a bit late I already defeated them." "Impressive," Tai Lung said, "Now I guess I'll defeat you!" "What?" Kai said. "Surrender now it will be easier!" "Do you even know who I am!" Kai said, "I am Kai!" "Kai?," Tai lung said, "You mean the master of pain, beast of venengace, maker of widows, Supreme warlord of china Kai?" "Yes," Kai replied. "Then our battle will be legendary!" Tai lung said, "and your weakness will be your downfall!"
