Episode Eight: Yinxing
Chapter XL
Yǐnxíng, Act Finale
Escape
Ears rang. Silent black winds dropped. The tiger breathed in and crawled up with both arms; Xing sank his heart. He stammered inaudibly that no one around him could listen what his agonizing voice was saying. The tiger checked his slow movement. Only bruises on the inside of his upper right shoulder. Xing just scanned the fainted smoke: quiet and soft rumbles grew loud.
Xing flicked his ears up and noticed small drips came on his right cheek. His quiver paw touched his fluff cheek and felt warm and colored dark crimson tears dripping toward his wrist. Is anyone hurt? Who is injured?! He had no significant cuts on his fur, neither his sore arm. Just as the Nine's Leader slowly swam his head anywhere and tried checking his brother from the shadow debris, a dying breath chortled near.
Xing rose his one knee. None of the smoke poisoned him, nor any person sensed the ignition of the enhanced dragon's breath that inhaled with toxic smoke and deadly fire. He ambled. Hacking tone crossed near. Xing at last turned right from losing his direction as if a pale white peacock perched and laid his back behind a bamboo structure. Shen's feathers covered something on his left rib cage. Xing closely peered peacock's gray robe. A piece of black metal from the cannon barrier penetrated Shen's lung.
The albino struggled his breath without speaking. His beak poured with red on his sinus. He glimpsed nothing. He only peered his unconscious son lying on the blackness floor. The rumble shook louder with a thunderous roar. Shen could not see the tiger crouching beside him. He moved his eyes directly to Xing's. Xing's mouth quivered and eyes closed as Shen noticed his tears are spawning. His paws clasped together in front. Stop. Shen cried his thought. His feathers collapsed after trying to block the tiger's arm. Xing's right hand reached on to Lord Shen's breast.
A beam of sunlight entered peacock's body, burning his flesh wound and vanished the barrel piece. The albino widened his eyes, gasped his cold breath. A healing chi. Shen remembered the exact light from Po's mother, who sparkled her dying sun paw and pressed Shen's heart.
Xing didn't like to let any ally or enemy suffer to demise! Shen is not ready to die! Both stared their eyes in a moment of confusion, but motivations Xing gave Shen a chance, even if the tiger had to listen and proved to convince peacock what Dragon Warrior deserved peafowl lord's clemency. They both embarked hearing peacock's sob. Xing turned, and Lao on the floor screamed.
Lord Shen recalled his son's wail on midday, as he strolled out of the wooden mansion that young Prince Dongji sat behind cherry blossom tree alone on noon, sighted his peahen mother Xia in pink sunlight dress she sauntered one-eyed Wolf Boss across the main snow road. Next, Eagle next to albino of blue train crouched and caressed behind Lao's back, knowing what Prince of Gongmen attacked his father without a second thought to concern Shen dearly. Brown eagle sighted the tiger crouched and peered Lao's eyes wobbling and soaking below his cheeks. He noticed Lord Shen sitting while staring his son continuing to sob gentle, as Lao began rising with Eagle who grasped his white feathers.
"His mother loves him. More than anyone. More than me," Shen saddened with his tone hard to swallow. "Dongji reminds me of his grandfather. My father."
Xing shut his eyes hard from pouring red tears on his cheeks, knowing how Shen's touching voice struck Xing's strong heart as if the tiger recalled peahen laying down on a brown bed which put a smile on her beak. "Lao could have killed you," Xing deemed, his throat swallowed rigidly and turned to the albino's eyes. "That is not the light way. Killing you is no such justice. What do you say about the Dragon Warrior seeking your sympathy and desires your guide to inner peace are true, then I trust his awesomeness words, and especially can help you."
Shen opened his beak slowly. He sensed the tiger's voice under his throat that Shen understood him, realizing. The tiger shook his dejected head when sighed and closed his eyes, looking away as if the albino watched his head pointing down. "I was going to inform you to not go near my brother," Xing apprised him reasonable, glimpsing back at him. "Even though that is wrong for me to say those defensive words, I would not like to see Lao skirmishing against you. Too bad, he did."
A deep tremor across the whole mountain shook. All heads turned as if a massive mushroom of lava swelled next to the twirl temple. "Let me handle Prince Dongji, sir!" rushing voice approached from the hill cliff. Twin wolves sprinted near Lao and Master Eagle. The brown eagle nodded to escort young peacock prince to vacate, as the twins palmed Lao's back. Lao turned and lastly glimpsed Xing still kneeling next to Lord Shen, and now revolved running with Lee and Lin.
Xing scanned Resistance birds revolving around the air. Lord Shen thrived his bright eyes; he saw a robust, one-eyed wolf in black armor and gloves coming near to him. "Zhong," the albino stunned, coughing.
Wolf Boss closed his mouth softly, looking at Shen as if his right eye shook. "Hello, Shen," he crouched next to him.
Wolf Boss kneeled his right knee in front of the albino, palming on Shen's shoulder. Xing scanned on Eagle who turned on the giant bird's right; Tigress ambled with her eyes meeting her nephew's. "You are here," Shen smirked. Again, he coughed hard from the smoke. "You need to leave."
"No." Wolf Boss shook. "That's not an option."
"You have to leave me here," Shen implored him. Wolf disagreed with the albino's words to vacate without Shen staying behind. The albino rose his back, pressing against the bamboo structure behind him. Zhong pawed onto Shen's relaxed chest. "My son's right. I am not his father. My father's right. I was a fool." Shen admitted with his whole head and crests bending down. "I am a monster."
"That's not true," Zhong rejected, shaking his head. "Dongji will listen to his brother and me."
Shen rose his neck and reflected his old companion's right eye. The albino could not yet realize his son will soon convince from Zhong or Xing. He motioned his eyes at Xing nodding to Shen next to Wolf Boss. Rust and bristle metal collapsed. Three heads turned toward a soft puffed brown dust from the collapsed Factory floated.
A black figure spawned and coming out of the smoke with chi eyes. Xing narrowed the snow leopard's massive paw pressuring his right thigh on purple pants. The tiger heard Zhong's stance stood in rapidly and wielded his maul. "Commander," Xing gestured his paw ahead of Wolf Boss. Tai froze his body as if the Great Dragon imaged the beauty of female tiger's attracting amber eyes beside the Eagle. His heart healed with soft thumps. Tigress glimpsed his sun eyes that she rose her eyebrows and her back breezed cooly. "He's not here to fight."
Another sound of swollen splash echoed. All eyes rotated at the angry, crystallize red water poured across the sides of the hidden mountain farther away. Resistance birds of white swans and owls soared away; hawks and multiple eagles stayed above near the floor. "I reflect your tone, in which reminds me of someone who I mentioned, and knew my foster mother." Tai Lung spoke.
Xing rose his black ears. His lungs filled with coldness and heart stopped within a second. The tiger confused his thought toward the snow leopard who interestingly recalled someone, part of Tai Lung's guardian family who cured and adored him before like Shifu. Guardian family? "Foster mother?" Xing rose his appalling voice, turning toward Tai's eyes.
"She assembled Shifu's pride, and honest." Tai slowly approached him with an endearing voice. He stood beside Shen as if Tigress's low growl thrived behind Xing. Tai hesitated his front chest, reckoning both tigers. "My mother rose my broken bones at Training Hall, which she healed me from spike dummies and slept with her inside of my room since I was a cub through young age. My mom left the Palace after I traveled to Prison with rhino guards."
Xing and Tigress turned to themselves with their reflective eyes of amber and ocean. "If I do not mistake you," Tai added at Xing's eyes; both tigers returned their eyes toward the Great Dragon crouching beside Lord Shen and Commander Wolf Boss listening and glimpsing at him. "Her eyes are relish like the ocean she comforted me in her bedroom, telling fancy stories about the Great War, and my ancestor battling with peacock lord I never forget the night story."
Xing's left foot positioned back. He revealed the identity of Tai Lung's guardian, nothing to compare the affection of adoptive mother who no one notices, but the Great Dragon does that he including Masters of Jade Palace perceived snow leopard's tale about Shifu's grin and the proudness of Tai Lung. "You have her loving eyes. Same fluff cheek, white fur with black stripes, and even such taller around my height." Great Dragon described a familiar kind of the tiger's identical. He convinced Xing. "If you truly know I do not lie, my foster mother is like you."
The day was attracting to observe a pumpkin bless perching across the edge of greenish horizon mountains. The day breathes with crisp and elegant, caressing alluring flowers near the brown tree of pink blossoms. A red panda of light brown mustache sits beside the peaceful Peach Tree as if he inhales the soul of leaves; thoughts empty, closing eyes, breathe. Breathe in. Let it out slowly.
A snow leopard child bends his tail in a circular motion. He has sat long before him, and Shifu embarked meditation as the pale gray and blue moon lies among the shining stars. Tai's chest inspired by his nose; eyes advance through inner light and darkness across talking waterfalls. An enchanting tone hums. Tai and Shifu's ears wobble as if their eyes steady opened from the inner peace. Both young snow leopard and a red panda glimpse the pale tiger of attracting and reflective eyes in navy hanfu and silky sapphire shawl attaching on her right upper shoulder, grinning down toward Tai.
Tai's heart smoothes and dragging near her. A red panda master clasps his hands together and flattens onto his bent legs as Shifu's chest has a desirable heart including his melting grin. Shifu adores his partner that his student he listened on the night through Student Barrack's corridor.
Shifu strolled into the small hall of midnight blue papers walls and mahogany floors touching everywhere. Shifu slightly opened the shoji door and peeked both tiger and his son Tai Lung perching on a comfort bamboo bed and wrapped around his body.
Your ancestor fought to our grandmaster, and along with his brothers across the horrendous battlefield, lovely tiger clarified Tai. Defeating many ruthless Fire Clan bandits at beyond the Northern Wall. His peacock companion from Gongmen City volunteered a title within the battle as Li Han including Zhanshi bounded and defeated thousands of enemies. When they leaped down to the crowded skirmish, both Li and Zhanshi together teamed the Magnificent Oogway, and his bull brother Kai when Emperor Taiyang saw all four warriors, claiming as the only righteous, and chosen as the Mightiest Warriors.
Snow leopard child's eyelids drop near to the close. The white tigress senses her foster son's dazzling soul entering the eternal trance through battle cries and victorious. She would love to speak more through history tales that Tai loves battle stories. Tai felt his head pressed against his mother's smooth lips and grins. Goodnight, Tai, murmured white tigress.
Goodnight, Ming, faded Tai.
You cannot be my grandmother's foster son! Xing gasped inaudibly.
"How many scrolls did you and your friends snatch?" Lord Shen asked Zhong, meeting his eyes.
"Fourteen," Wolf Boss answered. "According to Huoju's plans knowing where he leads, Shen's heavy artillery weapons, and histories."
"There is one scroll you are missing," Tai Lung informed the one-eyed wolf and watched all eyes.
The Great Dragon held Shen's right wing and sunk his clouded paw into the long sleeve of peacock's gray robe. All listened a sound of hardened glass grasping. Tai indicated them a red scroll with gold fires kissing the smoke and both yellow caps sparkling with the dawn. "There was a brown hawk who tried to warn Shen, when Ying smothered dying and gave him this scroll without looking, nor any bandit notices. Whether this manuscript is important than all fourteen, you shall need this to study."
Heads from both tigers and Eagle turned themselves, concerning if this scroll is a trick to ambush them or crucial as both Shen and Tai desired to earn trust. Tigress and Xing's thoughts fogged, squinting their eyes at him. Tigress palmed Xing's front chest as if her nephew nearly rushed. She didn't like to have Xing hand an "important" manuscript from Tai Lung, noticing what Great Dragon could do to bait. Tigress ambled in front of Tai Lung without giving a nasty glare instead; she gave a blank look with a low growl under her throat in front of Tai Lung.
Tai sighted Tigress reaching her opened soft paw near to him. "Tigress," he called her tearfully. "I know you cannot imagine of me been missing you since our beginning before my life torn apart. Before you take this scroll, you may tell our father Shifu that there is still a light within me to seek his son's forgiveness." Tai handed the red velvet scroll with dawn caps in front of Tigress.
Mysterious red stars soared slowly from many lands across the central mountain as if Xing searched one that inclined beside the collapsed Factory within a black smoke. "Big guy, can you get Lord Shen out of here?" Xing heard Wolf Boss who inquired the Great Dragon while Tigress grabbed the scroll.
Tai turned his head to the one-eyed wolf. "I can. Huoju will only pick for those who are loyal to him," he replied.
A one-eyed wolf nodded at the snow leopard. Tai began grabbing the albino's right arm over Great Dragon's neck behind him; he carefully rose Shen despite peacock's little injuries (except his wound Xing healed him) as both Xing and Tigress scanned the peafowl's right leg that nearly bent. Wolf Boss's paw had caught with a soft feather grasp. He sighted the albino's reflectible, pourable eyes that Zhong sensed agony in the peacock's head. "I am sorry, brother," Shen regretted him. "For nearly murdered you at our War Ship we sailed…"
Wolf palmed Shen's feather. "I allow your sympathy," Zhong pardoned him. "I will find you, Shen. I swear it for Lady Muqin's sake."
More scarlet orbs sang behind Xing, Tigress, and Eagle next to stars. Random vortexes shrunk with a small light sparkle. Within a second, a considerable rumble echoed, and large cracks beyond the subterranean collapsed farther. Xing's aunt pawed her nephew's back. "Xing. We must go." Tigress told him.
Xing revolved his head to Tai Lung holding Lord Shen's arm feather behind his neck and grasped peacock's wrist softly. The tiger drowned his throat and heart; he would not convince the snow leopard's honest that Xing could notice his grandmother's secrets. Whether it is true or not, Xing should consider informing his grandmother privacy. He watched both Tai Lung and Shen's hearts glowing like you are peering the glare of a daylight sun. None of them discerned burning feeling, neither smothering, nor chi obliterating the peacock and snow leopard. Shen and Tai Lung rose their whole bodies freely as if their chests went dazzling red; both crimson vortexes puffed like a shred of wind.
All heads pointed from the horrendous blast of mushroom lava billowing nearby. Xing nodded Tigress, then both tigers including a one-eyed wolf followed Master Eagle across the bamboo construction. Eagle roared his cry above the breeze that the Resistance bird fighters dove their wings down. Two brown hawks in gray and silver armor snatched both tigers, and white swan in pale green armor grabbed Wolf Boss's paws.
Loud rumble and tears collapsed a crumpled palace including Huoju's Throne Room as if thirty glossy, dark and diamond bridges around it tore apart. Xing clenched his paw onto brown hawk's gold talon and glimpsed back at the destruction of the palace, the whole prison billowed with glimmering gold and red lava, and lastly, the collateral damage Factory spat with yellow and orange fire. His heart crunched and released in rapid and repeatedly. All flew close toward the front opened Black Gate; two white swans captured twin wolves and both Crane, and brown hawk Fei caught a white albino with blue train, despite any peacock male are heavy to lift because of his train and long robe. Many entered out of the shade barricade; a single, swollen blast exploded with scarlet lava.
BOOM!
Small waving fires nearly touched Xing and Tigress. None of the hot spit lava followed nor burned both Tigers' tails. That was close! Xing thought surprisingly. In a moment, both Tigress and Xing turned back their whole heads. The tip including the entrance of Yinxing Mountain spat with substantial lava blasts and bled and dripped onto many ridges including the ground. Red flashes sparkled with many tears bolted angrily within the massive black smoke above the tip.
Resistance birds craned their necks onto thousands of torches below green landscape forests on the Southside. Many dropped Xing, Tigress, Wolf Boss, twin wolves and Lao near General Bear's leaders along with pandas lifting the Dragon Warrior on a bamboo stretcher with expert yak doctors.
A huge brown bear carrying a red torch across the massive dark brown log scanned the white swan soaring near to him. "Is that everyone?" Bear demanded to Resistance birds who all arrived.
"Yes sir!" white swan nodded.
"Great job, lieutenant!" smiled Bear while the swan soared away with Eagle's forces above the sky. General sighted a small bunny dashing onto the log as if a young, innocent child's reflective eyes poured. He pawed in front of her and carried on his muscular right shoulder. "Come along, my child! Let's vacate this land across ridges to Cue Village!"
30 Minutes Later
Tormented villagers and the Resistance strolled over the middle ridges as if General Bear searched a midnight blue river that blessed with pale cobalt moon. The only substantial creek where Bear knew every image of water bank and branches to arrive Cue Village for many innocent villagers will rest, and surely all high ranks including the Company to report a conclusion, especially the plans. Bear waved all villagers behind him and marched forward with Master Chicken who climbed onto brown bear's upper shoulder.
Xing, Tigress, Mei Ling and Lotus heaved the bamboo stretcher as the Dragon Warrior mumbled in his sleep; the panda's weight is unmistakable to all four having the muscular strength that they used lifting large items before. Xing's head targeted his peacock brother behind him; Lao glimpsed the abundant green grass without reaching his whole neck above at once the one-eyed wolf palmed the peafowl's back. An echo of boom crumbled most of the solid black and gray ridges at the tip of the Yinxing Mountain while Xing's eyes zoomed thirty fireballs catapulted from lava explosion. Red and pink bolts circulated at the heart of the shrouds of black smoke.
The Prince of Darkness floated in the shadows with snarl lightning around him. Huoju's hooves formed his reach to caress with brilliant red light as if his eyes squinted someone or something in front of him. A whole she-ox body of dark green robe monument lied with gathered cherry blossom flowers on her hoofs and belly. Huoju's large black clouds formed an aggressive swarm and thrust against ahead of the Ox warlord. Shadows entered the petrified body's mouth, nose, and both eyes.
Many shadows infiltrated the dead body as if she-ox's body enlightened with crimson tears and shattered apart like a glass crashing into hard structures. The monument was nowhere glimpsing as if Huoju's giant shadows revolved in front and above. His glimmering red hooves drew back and reaching toward the sky, screaming his sister's reputation thunderously as all light red and pink bolts shut and blacked out.
A sturdy, brilliant, bristly creature's reptile head of large keen fangs opened its bloody mouth, and snarled with a horrid wind!
