Right. Now for the conclusion of the valley of peace! I hope everyone is looking forward of kung fu panda 4 in 2024!
With that out of the way, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
The skies above the valley of peace bled as the village burned below. The valley of peace was engulfed in flames by the Heartless invasion. The village was a cauldron of battle. The citizens were safe, having retreated to a safe house in the wake of the invasion, leaving the people to fend off the attack. The protectors were strong and steadfast but they'd never faced an enemy like the Heartless before, let alone an army of them. This attack had caught them unprepared and off-guard, with no time to rally any kind of defense. In short, they were losing. Giant Heartless snakes rampaged through the neighborhoods, spitting fire from their fanged mouths, too massive for anyone to stop. Ninja Heartless engaged the protectors while Shadow Heartless swarmed the streets. It was too much for them to handle.
The valley of peace continued to burn.
"Village of peace?" Pete laughed in the streets as he and Gantu coordinated the invasion. "Don't make me laugh! Once we're done with this place, we'll give it a new name!"
"How about Village of Darkness!" Gantu shouted, blasting holes with his pistol in already burning buildings. Pete laughed loudly.
"I like it!" He pulled out one of his spherical bombs, tossing it over his shoulder and through the window of a building, laughing louder when it blew it into rubble. It seemed like nothing could stop the Heartless menace. They were just too many and too powerful.
But luckily, help was on the way.
Through the mangled gates came the Keybladers, led by po and the furious five. Upon arriving they were met with the terrible sight of the burning village. They had run here with all the speed they could muster, but it looked like they were too late.
"Oh no!" tigeress gasped, watching her home go up in flames.
"You know that expression, 'can't stand the heat, get out of the fire'?" Jack asked, eyeing the fire. "I'm feeling a lot of heat and seeing a lot of fire...do you get where I'm going with this?"
"Come on, guys!" Sora shouted, summoning his Keyblade. "We've got a lot of work to do!" The other's Keyblades appeared in their hands. Wasting no more time, they all charged into the battle, to save the village and put a stop to tai lung's invasion.
KHKHKHKH
But, apparently, it wasn't inevitable. A fantastic roar split the air and in came Beast, flying through the air, Keyblade raised above his head, then slamming it down hard on the snake's skull. A painful hiss sounded its final breath before it collapsed to the earth and dissipated away, a floating heart signifying its destruction. Beast's paws landed on the earth, Keyblade still gripped in his claws, rose keychain dangling from the hilt.
Mulan stood in the centre of a burning swath of buildings, the flames licking their way across the structures as if devouring a feast. But Mulan stood undaunted in the wake of the destruction. She was in her element after all. Her Keyblade was raised above her head. The fire that ate away the buildings was suddenly pulled away and absorbed into her weapon, siphoned up into magical properties. She was a true Mistress of the Flames. When she was done, the buildings were fire-free, and her Keyblade was blazing hotter then anything else. Luckily a way to release this pent up energy came around the corner in the form of a Heartless snake. "I'll show you what fire can really do!" Searing hot flame was shot at the Heartless from her Keyblade, completely incinerating its huge body.
"SUMMON!", Sora cried, throwing his newest summon charm into the air. It blew apart in a shower of sparks and stars, followed by a blinding light. The light began to take solid form; it was a creature with four legs and blue skin. Its broad shoulders and claws were accompanied by two small leathery flaps on both sides of its head. "BRONX!" The gargoyle beast of Manhattan shook itself off, opening its pure white eyes and letting out a loud roar across the landscape. The cry calmed when he saw his summoner; it ran over and licked Sora's face with its wet tongue.
Now acquainted, Sora and his newest friend faced a large Heartless hoarde that was tearing the village apart. "Alright, Bronx! Let's show em' what we're made of!" Bronx growled in eager agreement. They took off and immediately tore into the Heartless. Bronx's teeth and claws ripped through the creatures of shadow, turning them into mincemeat while Sora cut them down in large numbers. In backing each other up, the Heartless were no match.
"Get back here you jerks!" sonic continuously drove his Keyblade through logs that had been Heartless Ninja only moments before. Every time he swung at the monsters, they switched into a piece of wood at the last second. Naturally, the blue spiked hedgehog wasn't impressed. "Hold still you stupid freaks! How am I supposed to kill you!? Grrrrrrr!" Blinding light consumed the Heartless and everything else in its course; they no longer had the time for the log transformation. When it calmed down, the Heartless were gone, leaving sonic with a sense of accomplishment. That was until he saw what else his blast had destroyed. "NOOOOOOO! Why?! It was a thing of beauty!" And sonic fell to his knees, crying over the loss of his favorite ramen stand.
The tide of battle had officially turned against the Heartless. Kung fu masters were one thing, but facing the Keyblades, the very bane of their existence, was another thing all together. Being the experienced darkness slayers that they were, tai lung's invasion was slowly pushed back. With the Keybladers assistance, the people were able to rally together to make a strong stand against the Heartless menace.
The valley of peace's counterattack had begun.
KHKHKHKH
As the storm clouds blasted their thunder and lightning, Shifu stood at the top of the stairs outside the Hall of Warriors, looking upon the valley, awaiting his fate. In the valley below, the lights from the evacuation made their way out of the valley. In a blink of Shifu's eyes, Tai Lung appeared before him, several Heartless lingering behind him on the stairs.
"I have come home... Master." said Tai Lung.
Shifu stood firm. "This is no longer your home. And I am no longer your master."
"Yes. You have a new favorite." muttered Tai Lung. "So where is this... Po? And his world-traveling friends? " He chuckles."Did I scare them off?" he asked, mockingly.
"This battle is between you and me." said Shifu.
Tai Lung snorted as he turned his back on his adopted father. "So... That is how it's going to be?
"That is how it must be." replied Shifu firmly, as he took a fighting position.
Tai Lung snorted as he motioned for the Heartless to the village. The creatures of darkness did so. Then, Tai Lung turned back towards Shifu, and attacked.
The two battled fiercely. Tai Lung punched Shifu clean through the doors of the Jade Palace. Shifu recovered himself quickly and faced his former student. Tai Lung entered, his face a mask of pure fury.
"I rotted in jail for twenty years because of your weakness!" he growled.
"Obeying your master is not weakness!" retorted Shifu.
"You knew I was the Dragon Warrior!" shouted the snow leopard. "You always knew. And what did you do? NOTHING!" growled the snow leopard.
"You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not my fault!" shouted Shifu.
Tai Lung was now very cross as he pointed at his former master. "NOT YOUR FAULT?!"
Enraged, Tai Lung knocked over the kung fu artifacts and throws them at Shifu.
"WHO FILLED MY HEAD WITH DREAMS?! WHO DROVE ME TO TRAIN UNTIL MY BONES CRACKED?! WHO DENIED ME MY DESTINY?!" yelled the feline.
Shifu dodged each attack with ease. Tai Lung kicked a sword at him, and Shifu countered it and redirected it into the floor.
"It was never my decision to make!" growled the red panda.
Tai Lung growls and leaps for the next artifact. He paused as recognized Oogway's staff. Realizing what this meant, he picked it up and faced Shifu.
"It is now." he said darkly.
Angered, Shifu finally went on the offensive. They fought very hard. Tai Lung pinned Shifu down with the staff by the throat.
"Give... me... the scroll!" he growled.
"I would rather die!" Shifu spat back.
They struggled for a beat until finally, the staff snapped in half. Shifu looked back at the pieces, horrified, and a flutter of peach tree petals flew by. Caught off guard, Shifu got kicked by Tai Lung into the wall. Shifu jumped from column to column, pursued by Tai lung. Shifu eventually jumped to the rafters and Tai Lung followed and sent them both crashing through the roof. Lightning flashed as Shifu briefly gets the upper hand mid-air before Tai Lung got his paws around Shifu's throat as they crashed back through the roof.
Back inside, they kicked apart. Shifu crashed into a column, falling to the floor and landed hard. Tai Lung bounced off the wall, knocking a lantern to the floor. Blue flames went everywhere. Tai Lung's arms were aflame as he charged at Shifu with a roar. Shifu struggled to block his punches.
"All I ever did, I did to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are, Shifu! Tell me! TELL ME!" demanded Tai Lung as he kept on fighting.
THOOM!
A fiery punch sent Shifu skidding across the floor and crashing against the reflecting pool. The flames extinguished and Tai Lung stalked forward. Shifu weakly lifted himself slightly.
"I... have always been proud of you. From the first moment, I've been... proud of you." he admitted weakly.
Tai Lung stopped in his tracks.
"And it was my pride... that blinded me. I loved you too much to see what you were becoming. What I... was turning you into... I'm... I'm sorry." finished Shifu, guiltily.
Tai Lung hesitated. Shifu waited. After a long moment... Tai Lung's expression went cold. He grabbed Shifu by the throat.
"I don't want your apology... I want to see you dead!"
Shifu began to pass out. Tai Lung snarled, ready to strike Shifu. Suddenly...
"Hold it right there!"
Tai Lung stopped, still holding Shifu as he turned around to see Sora and the kh team standing in front of the doorway, keyblades in hands, with determined looks on their faces. It had been Sora who spoke.
" Would have been here sooner, but some Heartless coming down the stairs occupied our time." said Sora before his tone went firm. "Let the master go!"
"Who are you?" asked Tai Lung.
"The one's who are gonna help the Dragon Warrior kick your tail!" answered sonic.
Tai Lung looked at them in disbelief. "You?!"
"Yeah, we're kung fu masters too!" said Sora. "Master Sora!"
"Master sonic!" added sonic.
"Master beast!"
"Master Mulan!"
"Master kairi!"
"And Master jack sparrow!" concluded jack.
Tai Lung still looked incredulous at the seven. "You seven are the world travelers the two bozos told me about?" he then chuckled darkly. "Pathetic. You're just a bunch of lameos in cosplay!" he scoffed.
"Hey!" shouted sonic, offended.
"We're more than that!" added mulan.
"But enough about us. Let us introduce the one who's destiny is to defeat you!" said Sora.
With that, Sora and Co. moved to the side and extended their weapons towards the doorway.
"May I present to you, Po Ping! The Dragon Warrior!" announced Sora.
As if on cue, panting noises could be heard as Po struggled up the stairs. He then entered through the doorway.
"Huff... huff... huff... Stairs... huff..." panted Po.
They both face-palmed in embarrassment.
"Who are you?" asked Tai Lung in disbelief.
"Buddy... I... am the Dragon Warrior! Whew!" answered and panted Po.
"Told ya." smirked Sora.
Tai Lung was in amused disbelief.
"You?! Him?!" he asked Shifu in disbelief before he casted the red panda asideaside."He's a panda." He turned back to Po and the travelers. "You're a panda. What are you gonna do, big guy? Sit on me?" he asked.
"Don't tempt me. Haha." said Po. "No. I'm gonna use this!" he answered as he held out the scroll. "You want it? Come and get it." he taunted
Then from out of nowhere, Tai Lung punched Po across the room, grabbing the scroll knocked from Po's paws. "PO!" the kh team both shouted in unison. "Finally... AH!" exclaimed Tai Lung before Po suddenly bounced off a nearby pillar and slammed back into the snow leopard, sending him flying into a column. Tai Lung recovered, astonished. Surprised that he had actually landed a blow, Po put on a brave face and struck a pose. "Whoo! Nice job Po!" congratulated Sora as they applauded. Tai Lung charged at Po on all fours. Po turned to run. "Oh... WOW!" exclaimed Po in slow-mo. Tai Lung quickly caught up and they both sailed off the palace steps. "Let's go guys!" shouted Sora as he leaped after them. Nodding. they joined in. Po clung to the scroll as Tai Lung delivered a punch and sends him crashing onto the arena rooftops below and bouncing off into a tree. Tai Lung roared and pounced; Po rolled down off a tree and used the recoil to whip back and smash Tai Lung. He briefly skidded across the rooftop and came right back at Po. He knocked Po down the long flight of stairs, and chased after him. "That scroll is mine!" shouted Tai Lung. "No it isn't!" shouted Sora as they slammed into Tai Lung. Down the stairs, Sora, the kh team, Po, and Tai Lung grappled for the scroll. The seven friends were oblivious to the effects of crashing down stairs and in slow motion, Po's voluminous butt pressed down on Tai Lung's head. As they crashed through the gateway to the village, the scroll was knocked loose. The four friends were separated from Tai Lung as Po crashed into a noodle cart. Tai Lung went for the scroll but Sora tried slashing him with his keyblade. Tai Lung was able to block some attacks, but that didn't stop Sora from kicking the snow leopard in the stomach. kairi leaped into the air, and caught the scroll. "Po! Catch!" he shouted as he threw the scroll towards the Dragon Warrior. "No!" shouted Tai Lung ash he shoved Sora to the side. Tai Lung tried to leap up to catch the scroll, but Po snatched it away using a noodle lasso. The scroll flew towards him and bounced off his head. Tai Lung leaped for it, but Po grabbed his tail and pulled him back down onto a cart which see-sawed Po into the air. In mid-air, Po slurped the noodle. The scroll lands inside a lantern, tumbles out and rolls to a stop in the street. Up and over the rooftops, Po landed in a grove of bamboo trees and into a nearby wok shop and came out on two tall ones as of he was on stilts. They both ran up next to him. As Tai Lung made his move on the scroll, the beast sent his fist into Tai Lung's face, knocking him to the side. Quickly, Sora and kairi tossed several overturned woks over to where the scroll was, one covering it. Just as Tai Lung regained his focus, Po leaped into the center of all the woks, and turned the scene into a shell game, sliding the woks around at top speed to hide the scroll.
"Lightning! Whoo!" cheered Po.
Tai Lung growled as he knocked the woks away and exposed the scroll.
"Ahhh!" shrieked Po.
Po used his bamboo stilts to block Tai Lung as tries to grab the scroll. The leopard swiped out the stilts and grabbed the scroll... bringing Po down on top of him as the scroll is knocked out his paws and Sora quickly caught it as they ran down the street. Infuriated, Tai Lung thew Po into a fireworks stand, leaped forward, and kicked Sora to the side, making the scroll fall out of his hands, and roll down the street.
Quickly, they seemed to have an idea.
Tai Lung was chasing after the scroll when...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!"
Po came speeding up on the cart, propelled by a motherlode of fireworks. The kh team rode on top, holding on for dear life as they screamed in excitement, they both holding onto both the cart and their hats.
"Ride 'em, cowboy!" screamed Sora, excitedly.
They slammed through Tai Lung, Po grabbed the scroll... and they crashed into a rock wall.
The scroll flew out of Po's paw and landed in the mouth of an ornamental rooftop dragon. The four gathered in front of the wall, and noticed Tai Lung, who saw where the scroll has landed and restarted his pursuit. Po imagined the scroll as a cookie, and then effortlessly scales the building.
they did the same thing, and they too effortlessly scaled the building like Po.
Tai Lung was shocked.
"The scroll has given him power! NOOOOOOOO!" he shrieked as he gave chase.
Tai Lung took a giant leap and kicked the wall of the building, causing it to crumble. Po, Sora, the kh team struggled to reach the scroll as they were chased by Tai lung, though managed to keep the leopard at bay by kicking dozens of roof tiles into his face. Sora grabbed kairi's arm and tossed her into the air. The princess caught the scroll. The beast leaped into the air as kairi tossed the scroll to him. As they flew through the air, the beast threw the scroll to Sora, who uppercutted it back to Po with his foot, who caught it in his paws... just as Tai Lung leaped up behind him and unleashed a punishing blow that sent Po smashing into the ground outside Mr. Ping's noodle shop. Shocked at what happened to their friend, Sora, and the kh team were distracted as Tai Lung punched and kicked them into several buildings before diving down towards Po. As he descended, he delivered a final devastating punch, sending up a huge mushroom cloud.
After coming out of the debris they landed in, the kh team, staggered back to where the crater was, panting heavily, clothes scratched, and their hair, feathers, & fur messed up.
As the dust settled, Tai Lung was looming over a stunned Po in the impact crater. He picked up the scroll. He relished at having the secret to limitless power in his grasp at last.
"Finally... oh yes... the power of the Dragon Scroll... is... MINE!" Tai Lung exclaimed, happily.
He opens the scroll... and his triumph turns to horror as he stares at the blank surface. "It's NOTHING!" he exclaimed in disbelief.
"Looks like he learned the hard way..." Sora panted quietly to his friends, who nodded as they tried to help Po up.
"It's okay. I didn't get it the first time either." said Po.
"What?" asked Tai Lung in disbelief.
"There is no secret ingredient." explained Po.
Tai Lung tossed down the scroll in anger. Sora, Po, the others looked down at the scroll and gazed at their reflections.
"It's just you." explained Sora, getting his breath back. "That's the secret of the Dragon Scroll."
Tai Lung looks at the scroll... then snarled and lunged at Po.
"RRRAAAH!" he roared.
"AAAAGGGHH!" cried Po.
"Po look out!" shouted Sora.
Too late. Tai Lung struck the kh team to the side of the crater before he struck Po's nerve points in a last effort borne out of frustration. Po collapsed to the ground... and began laughing. Tai Lung looked down at his paw in confusion and struck Po again. And again... and again... Even the kh team were confused as they layed again the crater, getting their energy back.
"He's striking Po's nerve points, how is he not getting paralyzed?" asked kairi.
"Maybe it's because Po's big belly is acting like some sort of force field." guessed sonic.
"Oh I get it! His body fat is preventing any nerve points from being struck into paralysation. Like a cushion of some kind." said Sora.
As they got back up, they could still hear Po laughing from the experience shouting, "...Don't! Don't!" Frustrated, Tai lung delivered a double-fisted punch to Po's belly. The shockwave rippled through Po's entire body and his arms came back and stuck Tai Lung, sending the snow leopard crashing back into the noodle shop.
Po looked at his paws, amazed at what he just did.
And he saw a keyblade on his paw. The hiltguard of the blade is designed after the Jade Palace, with the handle being inspired by Oogway's staff. The shaft of the blade is designed to have the Furious Five designs through it. The teeth is a stylized version of a panda fist. The token is that of a dumpling.
"Wow!" gasped mulan in amazement. "Nice job Po!" congratulated kairi.
"whoa! I didn't know I had it in me!" thanked Po, still amazed. Just then, the seven friends looked to see Tai Lung walk back towards then, a dark aura flowing around him. And he did not look happy.
Po then had a determined look on his face as he got into a fighting stance.
"Let's finish this!" said a determined Po.
The kh team nodded as they got into fighting stances with their weapons ready.
The fight began. Tai Lung roared and jumped forward, but Sora managed to strike him with his keyblade. kairi then casted a thunder spell, which hit Tai Lung. Furious, the snow leopard got up again, but Po managed to punch and kick him from behind. Tai Lung was about to punch back, but the beast bashed him with his fist.
Tai Lung lunged forwards, but Sora grabbed his arm, and tossed him over his shoulder. While the snow leopard was on the ground, kairi casted a lightning spell. Tai Lung got up again and was about to swing kick, but Po grabbed him mid-air, and swung him to the side, where the feline was hit by the beast's fist.
Sora then races towards Tai Lung, but the cat managed to avoid it, only to get side-kicked by Po. As Tai Lung got up again, mulan sweep-kicked him to the ground. Once again as Tai Lung got up, he was struck three more times by Sora's keyblade.
sonic then lunged forward and punched Tai Lung in the face twice before kicking him in the stomach. The beast then fist-punched the snow leopard in the side, before kicking him to the side. Sora then uppercutted Tai Lung with his foot into the air for a moment. Po then used this chance to grab Tai Lung's tail win mid-air and began using it to spin the snow leopard around. Tai Lung tried to lung back for Po, but ended up missing each time and got hit himself by the kh team's kung fu moves. At one point, Po moved the cat's tail in between their faces, making Tai Lung accidentally bite it, making him roar in pain.
Po then swung Tai Lung to the ground.
Tai Lung then began to get consumed in darkness even more as the kh team regrouped. Tai Lung then got up, and looked like he was ready to strike again.
Quickly, Sora charged towards Tai Lung, keyblade at the ready. He started using a Final Strike first against the snow leopard. Then as Tai Lung leaped towards him, Sora quickly used his keyblade to defend himself. Finally, before Tai Lung could do anything else, Sora unleashed his keyblade might to finish him off.
Tai Lung fell to the ground, flat on his back, defeated. Sora landed softly on the ground with his friends. His keyblade were dismissed.
"Now that was totally awesome!" exclaimed Po like a fanboy.
Sora chuckled. "Thanks."
Just then, the seven heard moaning as Tai Lung suddenly stood up, and staggered towards the seven. battered, but still defiant.
"You... can't defeat me..." he panted as the four friends looked at him, unafraid. "You seven... are just... pathetic wastes... and you... you're just a big... fat... panda!"
Tai Lung lunged one last time towards Po, but he grabbed one of the paw's fingers. Tai Lung's eyes went wide.
"First of all, we're not pathetic wastes." said Sora, firmly.
"Yeah, we're heroes! And kung fu masters! We protect lives from villains like you!" added sonic.
"We do what's right!" nodded mulan.
"And second, I'm not a big, fat panda... I'm THE big, fat panda!" said Po, with a dangerous smirk.
Smug looks went on the kh team's faces as well as Po raised his pinky finger at the same time. Tai Lung gasped.
"The Wuxi-Finger Hold!" he exclaimed, terrified.
"Oh you know this hold?" asked Po, smugly. "Guess we'll just have to test it out."
"You're bluffing... you're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that!" pleaded Tai Lung.
"Nope..." began Sora.
Tai Lung looked hopeful until...
"...he figured it out." finished the keyblade wielder with a smug smile.
Tai Lung's eyes widened.
"Skadoosh!" exclaimed Po as he flexed his Pinky.
Meanwhile, on a hillside, the Furious Five continued to lead the evacuation.
"I hope the others are ok." commented Viper, worriedly.
"We all do." nodded Monkey.
Crane put his wing around the snake. "Don't worry. If they can handle Shifu's training, and take him down, then they can handle Tai Lung." he said, reassuringly.
Mantis was about to speak up, when he saw something in the distance in the village. It was explosion of golden, rippling energy.
"Guys look!" he exclaimed, pointing toward the valley.
Tigress, Crane, Monkey, Viper, and the villagers looked in Mantis' direction to see the wave of energy, which swept past them.
"Everyone, back to the village!"said Tigress.
The villagers complied as they rushed back to their homes. the Five followed suite.
Sometime later, the Furious Five and the villagers returned to the village, which was engulfed in a cloud of golden dust.
"Wonder what happened." said Crane, curiously.
Then, Viper spotted something. "Look!" she exclaimed.
Through the dust came the kh team.
"Sora! guys!" exclaimed Viper in relief.
"You're ok!" exclaimed Monkey.
"of course we are!" chuckled sonic.
"Yeah, we don't go down that easily!" added jack sparrow.
Although she was happy to see the world-travelers ok, Tigress was still concerned. "Where's Po?" she asked.
The kh team exchanged mischievous looks before Sora spoke out to the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Valley of Peace, may we present to you, Po Ping! The Dragon Warrior!" he announced as they joined the crowd.
Approaching the crowd was an obscured figure. When he neared them, it was revealed that it was Po, wearing an upside down wok as a hat, and a torn apron as a scarf. Po coughed and removed the apron. Tigress, Viper, Crane, Monkey, Mantis, and the villagers stared at Po for a moment... before cheering for the Dragon Warrior. Mr. Ping emerged from the crowd.
"That's my boy! That big, lovely kung fu warrior is my son!" cheered Mr. Ping.
Po smiled as he hugged his dad. "Thanks dad."
The wok fell off Po's head and rolled on the ground until Mantis stopped it. They were no longer staring at him with disdain. Po took notice as the kh team stood by him.
Tigress approached the seven with a smile on her face, before saluting and bowing. "Masters."
"Masters." said the rest of the Five, as they along with the rest of the village slauted and bowed.
"Pfft, Masters?" asked Sora, flattered.
" you're making us blush." giggled kairi, waving it off.
"Master?" asked Po, modestly, but secretly pleased. "yeah I'm a master!"
KHKHKHKH
"Oh, not again!" Pete whined, he and Gantu having watched the whole epic struggle from the streets down below. Right from tai lung's devastating defeat. "Just when you think we catch a break, these losers swoop in and steal a victory right out from under our noses!"
'It's getting to the point where it's becoming a habit," Gantu growled. "Whatever! We don't need that furry freak to finish this place off! We've got the Heartless on our side!"
Pete perked up a bit. "Hey yeah! What's a few rotten kung fu masters to the likes of us? Let's do it!" he exclaimed, ready to jump back into the action...but he couldn't. Neither could Gantu for that matter. "Hey, what the!?"
"I...can't move!" Gantu said, struggling his body to walk, but no matter how hard he and Pete tried they couldn't budge. The answer, was viper. But it was what was behind him that startled Pete and Gantu. villagers. A lot of villagers. A lot of very unhappy looking villagers. Among them were Kairi, Beast, Mulan, sonic and shifu who recovered from his injury.
"You guys aren't thinking of leaving, are you?", asked the viper who was holding them in place.
"After all the trouble it took to get here?" Kairi said smiling. Pete and Gantu scowled.
"Ha! You think you can keep us here?" Gantu laughed arrogantly. "We've an entire army to back us up! You're going down! Heartless! Attack!"
"..."
"Uh, Heartless?" Pete stammered, looking around but all he saw were more ninja.
"Wouldn't you know it?" Beast smirked, resting his Keyblade on his shoulder. "It looks like we went and destroyed them all."
"Don't you just hate it when that happens?" sonic drawled.
"So," tigeress said, which the two henchman eyed nervously. "You come to our village, try to destroy it..."
"...and think you can leave without a scratch?" monkey growled, cracking his knuckles.
"You obviously don't think these things through," said the crane. Shifu stepped forward.
"Maybe they need to think over the consequences about what happens when you mess with the valley of peace." Keyblader and kung fu master all agreed with him. Gantu and Pete swallowed nervously as they approached.
"Blitzsnack," Gantu sighed.
"You can say that again," Pete whimpered. Before any pain could happen however, the wind picked up around them all. A purple ship descended from the sky, hovering just over the hopeful Pete and Gantu.
"Hey, kings of ugliness!" 625 called from outside the ship's window. "You two don't happen to know where the mustard is, do you? I've looked all over the place. It's not in the cupboard, it's not in the bathroom, there's something in the fridge, but I'm afraid to look in there without a fully loaded weapon."
"WILL YOU JUST GET US OUT OF HERE!" Gantu snapped. 625 sniffed disdainfully and went back in the window.
A green light shone down on the two henchmen from the ship, beaming them both safely on board. The engines flamed and the ship blasted off, putting as much distance between them and the ninja as fast as freakin' possible.
KHKHKHKH
The sun was setting over the weary village of valley of peace. Silence reigned over it, the battle long over. Through the combined efforts of the Keybladers and the talented furious five, the Heartless were driven out of their peaceful home. The fires were all put out, the villagers emerged from their shelters, and the village defenders could breathe a sigh of relief. Tai lung and his minions were gone, hopefully for good. Though the day was won, it was not without sacrifices. Many had fallen prey to the Heartless claws, their hearts stolen from their bodies to feed their insatiable hunger.
"Are you telling me I'm a keyblade master?" said po.
"Uh-huh." Said sora.
"Alright!" praised the panda with fists pumped. "I'm now the dragon warrior and keyblade master!"
"Does that mean you're leaving?" asked Mr. Ping.
Sora nodded. "Afraid so. We need to find our friends."
The world's residents nodded in understanding.
Shifu said. "po good luck."
Tigeress replied. And remember to be good."
He nods and he turns to his adoptive dad in tears.
"So dad, um, how do I put this?" he mumbled.
Mr. Ping smiled. "Say no more Po. I'll let you live your dream. You can stay here with your new friends, defending the valley, and you can always come and visit."
Po was taken aback by his dad's words, but smiled as the two hugged.
"Well gotta go." Said sora.
"In that case, take care." said Viper.
"You're always welcome back to the palace." said Shifu.
"And my restaurant!" added Mr. Ping.
"Be sure to stop by." said Mantis.
"Yes. You're one of us now." nodded Tigress.
"Good luck on your journey." said Monkey.
"May you find your friends." said Crane.
"Thanks everyone! I'll be sure I'll tell stories when I get back!" said po.
And so they leave the valley of peace.
