Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 13
Welcome to the Jade Palace
"Welcome to the Jade Palace" said Tigress
The doors to the palace swing open as Gordon Freeman walked inside, he is amazed by what he sees as he just whistled in being impressed at what he sees and it is a perfect ancient design.
True to the Jade Palace's name, the roofs of the palace are colored deep jade green. However, other colors such as blue, orange, yellow and red also decorate the roofs, but to a lesser extent. While the main entrance is also a jade green, the pillars supporting the lower roof are red with golden dragons spiraling down them
"This is the hall of warriors," said Tigress
"Impressive," said Gordon
Gordon can see walking towards the both of them a large fat panda with a smirk on his face. Another is a smell bear creature hobbling with a cane. A bird that looks like a crane, a snake, a grass hopper creature perhaps a preying mantis, along with a monkey Gordon figured this must be the Furious Five that the tiger girl had mentioned.
"So who have you brought here Tigress," said Shifu.
"Oh wait I know, he's the midnight stranger," said Po "The dragon warrior and the midnight stranger teaming up, stopping bad guys. I should take all the credit while my side kick does all the grunt work."
"No he's not, Po," said Monkey "He looks like a freak."
"I don't know could he be an enemy," said crane.
"He is kind of cute, perfect boyfriend material for you tigress." said viper
"Yeah tigress, where did you find him." said Mantis
Master Shifu walked up to Gordon Freeman and closely observed him in figuring out what is about this person.
"Your not from around here are you," said Shifu
"How very observant of you sir," said Gordon "So no I am not. I come from a far away land, so far away there is basically no Kung-fu."
All of them gasped at that.
"Well Kung-fu is legendary and few people have mastered," said Gordon
"What are you?" asked Shifu
"I am a human," said Gordon "Homo sapiens."
They all gave him blank stares.
"Evolved from monkeys," said Gordon.
"No way," gasped Master Monkey "I'm going to evolve into you."
Gordon snorted "Nope" he takes off the cloak as he sees him who he is.
"Whoa! Awesome," said Po "I want one of those, and then I would be the most butt-kicking dragon warrior of all time."
"Uh, it wouldn't fit," said Gordon.
"Are you calling me fat," said Po with a growl.
"Well it is fairly obvious." said Gordon "The way you like to throw your own weight around in calling yourself the dragon warrior."
"Hey," said Po
The others just laughed at this.
"I sense there is more to tell," said Shifu
Gordon sighed as he went on to explained his journey so far in detail as he traveled to different places so far and meeting interesting people. Along with mentioning the ultimate evil known as the Combine and he noticed that Po the dragon warrior seemed to be a little to giddy in hearing there is an ultimate evil out there.
"So that means you used the…." said Po as he interrupted by Tigress
"No Po," said Tigress
"Awe come on I want to tell him about-"said Po as he is interrupted by all of them yelling at the same time.
PANDA
"Another time Panda," said Shifu
"Am I missing something," said Gordon
"Just never mind," said Tigress "Let's just say due to Po's idiocy we ended up having an adventure somewhere else."
"Right…." said Gordon slowly
The timing of you being here is not very good," said Shifu "Considering the Emperor of China was killed in front of people and if this is not solved soon it could result in civil war. A war that can ravage all of the lands of China," he pointed out "Giving the Mongolians an opportunity to invade China. Also the rumors about theFerocious five, so we must be ever vigilant in this crisis as I suspect the council of Kung-fu will make a decision shortly."
"Relax Master Shiful," said Po with a smile "I the Dragon Warrior along with my side kicks of the Furious Five will take down those losers the Ferocious Five, whoever they are." He does kung-fu noises as well.
The Furious Five gave Po death glares as Po just gulped at this.
"Master Shifu," said Zeng flying in "It is terrible"
"Has the council of Kung-Fu made a decision yet." said Shifu
"That is just it, the council of Kung-fu has gone missing," said Zeng "It looked like there was a serious fight and left on the walls written in blood was Beware of the Ferocious Five"
"It's gotten worse," said Shifu "We need to contact all the kung-fu masters in China and let them know about the Ferocious Five….because they are in grave danger."
"Oh yeah," said Zeng "The village is under attack by people dressed in cloaks."
"What" all of them shouted at once!
"Then we better stop this before it is too late," said Shifu "Would you care to join us Gordon."
Gordon Freeman nodded, and then off they went.
