Master Ping
It's a beautiful day in the Valley Of Peace. Shifu stood outside of the Hall Of Heroes. He sees Leo jogging on the stairs. This was part of Leo's punishment after what Leo did on Dragon Warrior Day. Leo will have to jog from the bottom of the staircase to the top from early morning into the middle of the day at noon. He's been doing it for a week and this was the final day. Leo didn't complain about his actions and accepted of what he did. Shifu had Tigress and Viper to have Leo's training to be hard for three days and he has taken over the rest of Leo's punishment.
Leo made it to the top. He fell onto one knee as he panted. Sweat was dropping from his chin. Leo wipes the sweat from his forehead and stands up. He finally caught his breath and turns around.
"Hm." Shifu said. He looks up at the sky and notices it was noon. "That's enough, Leo." Shifu said. "Your punishment is over."
Leo turns around and nodded.
"But before you do anything else, there is something that you and I must discuss in private." Shifu said.
Shifu led Leo inside to the Hall Of Heroes and entered Shifu's room. Leo notices that Tigress too. He wondered what she was doing here.
"Shifu, I thought the two of us were going to talk in private." Leo said.
"I had Tigress to come here when your punishment was done." Shifu said.
"I see." Leo said. "So what is it that we need to discuss?"
"You and Tigress's relationship." Shifu said. "There were things that I wanted to talk to you about that week. But a lot has happened after that week. So this is the best time to discuss about this." He breathe in and out before speaking again. "Now Leo, since you are dating Tigress, my daughter, I have special rules that you must follow. You and Tigress must be focused every time we train."
Leo nodded his head.
"You can show your affections to one another when we're not training." Shifu added. "You cannot be distracted to one another while training and sparring."
"Yes, master." Leo replied.
"If you become distracted to Tigress, and cannot focus during training and sparring or if you come late, you will not have a meal before and after training, jogging from early morning to noon and clean the Jade Palace from top to bottom with no help while sleeping in a separate room from her." Shifu said. "The same goes to you, Tigress."
"I understand, Master Shifu." Leo said.
"Now to the most important rule." Shifu said. "I know that you two are sleeping in the same room together and the weather can be hot at times so I hope you didn't do anything."
"Tigress and I haven't done anything, Shifu." Leo said, his face blushing. "I only take my shirt off during the night and Tigress knows about it. And it didn't happen when I was chained in the dungeon with the mirror incident."
"I know." Shifu nodded his head. "That is all I have to say. You're dismissed." His two students bowed and Shifu walks by them.
Leo and Tigress exits Shifu's room. As the two of them were walking by, Leo notices Po and Mr. Ping talking to Shifu. "You know, he can be a little hard to live with." Leo overheard Po talking to Shifu.
"In our own way, we are hard to live with, Po." Shifu said to him. "Take Leo for example."
Leo stops and looks at the three of them, causing Tigress to stops and turns around to look at Leo.
"He is a human and it was hard for him to live here with us." Shifu said. "Leo has gotten used to live here with us."
"Not like this." Po muttered, looking back at his father.
"Mr. Ping." Shifu said, taking a step forward and stops in front of the goose. "We would be honored to have you as our guest in our time of need." The two bowed to each other. "Please consider the Jade Palace your home, and do as you would normally do. So sorry about your shop."
"What happened to your shop?" Leo asks Mr. Ping.
"Things got out hand at the shop." Po said, giving him a nervous smile.
"I'm sure the shop can be repaired." Leo said to the goose.
"Thank you, Leo." Mr. Ping said as they watch Leo and Tigress leave the hall.
Later on that evening, Po, Mr. Ping, Shifu, The Furious Five and Leo were eating in the kitchen of the student barracks. Po was sitting across from Shifu as Leo was sitting next to Tigress and Crane. Monkey and Viper were sitting across as Mantis was on the table.
"Oh, Po was cute when he was little." Mr. Ping said, standing next to Shifu. "He couldn't say the word tomato. He "amamamomo"."
"Ha ha ha!" everyone was laughing except for Po and Leo.
"A lot of babies can't say words." Po said.
"You were ten years old." Mr. Ping said.
Everyone laughed again, much to Po's humiliation.
Leo looks at Po. "So you were ten years old and you couldn't say the word "tomato"?" Leo asks Po. "Damn."
"Shut up, Leo." Po grumbled.
Mr. Ping gave everyone a bowl of soup. Po watch everyone begin eating their soup.
"Ah." Tigress said. "This soup is delicious, Mr. Ping."
Leo eats his soup. "Wow." Leo gave a small smile. "You did a good job with the soup, Mr. Ping."
"You can stay here as long as you want." Mantis said.
As Leo was about to take another bite, he stops halfway. Leo sighs and takes another bite.
"Oh, I just remembered another one." Mr. Ping said. "When Po was five, his-"
"Ok!" Po yelled, jumping onto the table and crawls off the table to be with his dad. "It's been a long day." He begins to walk the goose around the table. "What do you say we get to our room?"
"But it's early." Mr. Ping answered.
"Actually, that's an excellent idea." Shifu said, standing up from the table.
The Furious Five and Leo stands up.
"I need you all alert for your training tomorrow." Shifu said. "I will be demonstrating the Chao Wa Punch Kick. It is a highly dangerous move and each of you needs to get a good night's sleep."
While everyone went to their rooms, Tigress notice Leo wasn't following her back to their room.
"Viper, have you seen Leo?" Tigress asks Viper.
"I haven't seen him after dinner." Viper answered.
"I think Shifu is letting Leo train for a couple minutes at the Training Hall." Mantis said. "Viper and I will go get him and bring him back to the barracks."
"Thank you." Tigress said to them. She watches them leave the hallway and entered the room.
Leo exits the Training Hall. "Seems like I'm getting better." Leo thought. "Hm?"
Viper slithers over to him as Mantis hops on his shoulder.
"I see you finished training a bit, Leo." Viper said.
"I have." Leo nodded. "I wanted to put it in a little bit of training before I get a good night sleep."
"I know." Viper said with a smile.
"Come on, let's head back to the barracks." Mantis said.
The three of them arrived in the barracks, standing outside in the hallway.
"It was good having a good laugh with Mr. Ping telling us stories about Po." Mantis said. He chuckled. "I wonder what other stuff he tried to say when he was ten."
"You should ask Mr. Ping about that one tomorrow." Leo said. "I'm sure he'll talk about it."
"That would be interesting." Viper said. She looks at Leo. "What about you, Leo?"
"What about me?" Leo looks at the snake.
"Is there stories about you, Leo?" Viper asks him. "Anything funny or something embarrassing?"
"I'd rather not talk about it, Viper." Leo said to her.
"Are you sure?" Viper asks Leo.
"Yes." Leo answered. "I will see you and Mantis tomorrow morning. Goodnight."
Mantis hops off of Leo's shoulder and went to his room. Viper watches Leo enters Tigress and his room. "Hm." Viper thought. She slithers into her room as she closed the door.
Leo closed the door and sighed. "Everyone laughing like that reminds me about home." Leo thought. He heard a soft purr behind him. Leo turns around and sees Tigress sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Hi Tigress." Leo said with a smile.
"Hi Leo." Tigress said. "I heard Shifu gave you a couple of minutes to train for a bit. How was it?"
"It was nice." Leo said as he takes off his shirt and puts the shirt in the corner. "Mr. Ping's soup was good, wasn't it?"
"Yes it was." Tigress smiled. "I was wondering about something."
"About what?" Leo asks her.
"I overheard your conversation with Viper and Mantis." Tigress replied. "We all heard a few embarrassing stories from the Dragon Warrior, but not from you. Plus, I heard you sighed when all of us were having dinner."
"Oh." Leo said.
"Is there something on your mind?" Tigress asks him.
"Hearing you guys laughed like that reminds me about several friends I know from home." Leo answered.
Tigress stands up and grabs her boyfriend's hand and she led him to the bed. The two of them sits on the bed. "Do you hang out with them sometime?" Tigress asks him.
"I hangout with them once in a while." Leo answered. "But I keep my distance away from them. There were some times that was embarrassing that they did to me."
"What did they do?" Tigress asks him.
"So this is what they did, Tigress." Leo said. "I was doing some training when one of my friends told me that the door to their room is loosed. As we got there, I was about to look which nail is loosed to the door. Then confetti was blown into my face with a banner inside the room saying, "Will you marry me"? Another friend was standing behind me when I turned around, chuckling. Then the person who led me to the "loose door" said to our friend saying "You'll please her in bed! You imagine having sex with her! Kiss her lips a thousand times when you dream of her! You are made for her"! I was so embarrassed that I had run away from them so they wouldn't see me blushing."
"Ha ha!" Tigress laughed in a low voice. "I can't believe they embarrassed you like that."
"I know." Leo grumble. "I chased those three around for nearly an hour."
"Did that person got punished?" the feline asked.
"My friend had to run five miles with no break." Leo replied. "And he said it was worth it."
"But it is worth it to hear you talk about your friends, even if they embarrassed you." Tigress smiled.
"Thanks, Tigress." Leo said with a small smile. "I love you."
"I love you too." Tigress said.
The two lovers wraps their arms around one another as Leo leans in and kisses Tigress. She enjoyed the kiss and kisses him back. Her tail moved back and forth as she could feel her boyfriend's arms around her. They broke the kiss to get some air and laid down on the bed. Tigress laid her head down on Leo's shoulder, rubbing her head underneath his neck, purring.
Leo could feel the feline's tail brushing against his leg. He brought his right hand to her head and pets her slowly, earning him a purr from his girlfriend. Tigress lifts her head up, leans in and kisses him on the lips before she looks him in the eyes.
"Goodnight, Leo." Tigress whispers to him
"Goodnight Tigress." Leo whispered back. Leo kisses her cheek one more time. Tigress laid her head back down on his shoulder and the two lovers closes their eyes.
But they heard Mr. Ping blowing his nose loudly from across the room. Tigress grimaced and turns her head. Leo wraps his left arm around her as he looks over to the door and sighed before trying to go back to sleep.
"Peace." Leo heard Shifu said.
Mr. Ping moans.
"Peace." Shifu's voice raise a bit.
Mr. Ping blows his nose very loudly.
"Peace..."
"AHH!" The goose started yelling.
"Peace!" Master Shifu groans loudly as he slaps the floor, making the candles to go out.
Mr. Ping continues making his noises as everyone was trying to get some sleep. Leo was closing his eyes tightly. It was difficult getting to sleep. But those noises reminded him from the past. He moved his head a bit.
Leo opens his eyes. He was standing in a dark void. Leo looks around the void. He knows this place. "No." Leo muttered. A song started to play.
Fire erupted from underneath him. The dark void changed into a ruined room with falling bodies hitting the floor that's on fire. Leo heard a loud siren going off. He quickly turns around hearing gunshots and the sound of a powerful roar that was behind a door. A powerful roar that he know all too well and two songs.
That roar is still the same one. It never changed. Several soldiers in dark leather suits ran in to the ruined room. They were all injured and bleeding. Three of them knocks over a cabinet to block the door.
A few of the soldiers got the injured back away from the door. Leo can hear growling and snarling from the other side. The door exploded with smoke entering the room. Some of the soldiers were actually scared shitless. Then someone steps into the ruined room.
"Fire!" a commander ordered.
They started firing at the figure. But this figure was too quick for them. The figure jumps out of the smoke and lands close to them. Leo knew who was attacking these men. The figure quickly stab several of them in the chest and the neck as the figure was driven by hate.
Leo stood and watched by as half of them ran out of the ruined room. The figure had a soldier to the ground and bit into the neck viciously choking the soldier to death before tearing the flesh. The injured soldiers screamed for their lives.
A injured soldier tried to fight back at the figure to defend his friends. He threw a punch at the figure, but the punch was caught by the figure's free hand. Everyone watch him gets punch across the face. That punch sent him flying into a wall, killing him.
The figure roared in anger and hatred as the figure attacked the injured soldiers. Leo watch them all die before his eyes. After they were dead, the figure lets out a ferocious roar before leaving the room. Gunshots can heard down the hall and voice was shouting over the speakers.
"Evacuate now! Evac- Noooo! You monster, ARGH!"
The scene changed to outside. Leo found himself standing outside of the top platform of a factory base that was caught on fire and parts of it was getting blowing up. There was huge wall of debris behind him as there was a wall of fire in front of him. He looks up and knew it was nighttime. The weather was cold and this dream is always the same one.
Standing several feet in the middle of the platform was two people. It was a soldier gasping for air by the figure. Leo knew it was a person choking the soldier. The person who was choking the soldier was angry and literary on fire as the fire was hot. The soldier was trying to get out of the grip, but the person's grip was very tight while the soldier was a couple feet off the ground.
Leo looks across and notices a helicopter flying away in the distance. The person cracked the soldier's neck and threw across into the debris. Leo can hear the person letting out an angry roar. The person notices Leo on the other side of the flames. Leo was about to turn around when the person ran to him and slammed Leo into the debris.
The person threw him high into the air and did palm strike to the back. Leo tried to fight back with a kick, but his leg was caught and the person slams him down into floor. The person lands several feet away and quickly attacked Leo as he got up. There was no chance, no opening, for Leo to counter back with an attack.
"GR!" The person growled with fury, grabbing Leo by the throat and lifts him into the air with one hand.
Leo and the person he knew looks at each other. He knew the person who was choking him. The flame revealed... himself. He was covered in blood. Leo can see the hate and anger in his eyes. The blood in his mouth tasted the same.
Then the platform shook violently and the whole factory base was destroyed.
"LEO, NNOO!
Leo slowly opens his eyes. He sits up and look at his surroundings. He was in his room and Tigress's room in the barracks. It seemed the Mr. Ping stopped making those noises. Leo turns his head to the right and sees Tigress sleeping.
He ran his fingers through her fur. Leo steps out of the room and exits the barracks. It was still nighttime. The night was cool. He sits down and looks up at the night sky.
It has been several years. Leo can never forget for what he did. He never thought his friends and masters would see what the hell he did. The doctor's first question repeated in his mind. Leo closed his eyes.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me."
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me."
"Is there something wrong with you?"
There's nothing wrong with me."
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me."
Leo opens his eyes and sighed as his conversation disappeared from his mind.
The next morning came. The Dragon Warrior, The Furious Five, Shifu and Leo were in the Training Hall. Shifu walks up to the dummy and turns around. "The Chao Wa..." Shifu said groggy. "Punch Kick, is one of the most secret moves contained in the secret scrolls."
His students were trying not to fall asleep. Tigress was leaning on Leo. For Leo, he was trying to stay awake. The more he tried, the more he wants to close his eyes.
"Would someone wake up Tigress and Leo?" Shifu asked.
Leo taps her arm and Tigress quickly wakes up. He took knee to avoid her backfist reflex.
"Forgive me, Master Shifu." Tigress apologies to her master.
Po taps Leo's shoulder. He didn't wake up. "Hey Leo." Po said, shaking him a bit. Leo quickly wakes up and did a elbow strike to Po's crotch.
"My tenders!" Po groans in pain as Leo stood up.
"Please forgive me for not paying attention." Leo said.
"No." Shifu muttered before raising his voice. "The Chao Wa-" he was about to explain.
"Morning, everyone!" Mr. Ping smiled as he interrupted Shifu and walks to everyone with his noodle shop.
His his greeting startled Po and The Furious Five, making them flinched. Leo took a step back.
"Oh, what a glorious day." Mr. Ping smiled. He looks at Shifu. "You wouldn't happen to have one hundred pounds of beetroot would you?"
"Beetroot?" Shifu asked confused.
"Yes." Mr. Ping answered. "I'm making a big batch of soup."
"Ugh!" Po groans. He turns his head to the right to look away. He knew this is just beginning.
"Uh, beetroot... I don't, uh..." Shifu was trying to think but he shook his head and looks at the goose. "Mr. Ping, we're in the middle of training."
"Ah." the goose replied, looking at the students. "Sorry."
There was a moment of silence. Shifu glances at Mr. Ping who wasn't moving and rolled his eyes.
"Now." Shifu said, breaking the silence as he turns around and face the dummy. He got into a kung fu stance. "The Cha Wa Punch Kick-"
"I'll just use bok choy." Mr. Ping interrupted again.
The Dragon Warrior moaned.
"Pardon?" Shifu asked confused, turning around to look at the goose.
"Instead of beetroot, I'll use bok choy." Mr. Ping said, taking out a plant from his cart.
"Yes, fine, "bok choy"." Shifu said, pushing the plant away. "You that. Where was I?"
Mr. Ping grabs his cart. "The Cho Wa Punch Kick thing." the goose reminded him as he walks by.
"Right." Shifu said. "The Chao Wa Punch Kick Thingy. Thing. Move."
Tigress falls asleep and leans on Leo who falls asleep too.
"Must be delivered, to your oppenent, precisely at the intersection of the medial metatarsal and abdomen. Like so." Shifu said. He delivers a quick punch, slap, threw in two punches with a kick and did a palm strike.
The dummy was stuck in a bent position. Mr. Ping was standing on the other side and pokes it.
"Seems like a lot of work." Mr. Ping said. "Why don't you hit it with a stick?"
"Dad!" Po exclaims to his father.
"Sorry." Mr. Ping said. "Don't mind me." He walks away.
"Uh, right." Shifu said as he looks back at his students. "When delivered precisely, the Chao Wa Punch Kick will render your opponent" as he was explaining, Shifu was sniffing something. "Is something burning?" He turns around and became shocked.
There was a fire underneath the Jade Tortoise Of Heavenly Wisdom. Mr. Ping was humming as he was dumping vegetables in the "pot".
"Mr. Ping!" Shifu exclaims, running up to him with Po, Tigress, Viper, Mantis, Crane and Leo. "What are you doing?!"
"Makin soup!" Mr. Ping exclaimed, looking down at them.
"In the Jade Tortoise Of Wisdom?" Shifu asked.
"Well, I needed a big bowl." Mr. Ping said, throwing a plant in the shell. "We're going to have a lot of customers."
"Customers?" Shifu repeated.
Mr. Ping climbs down and exits the training hall with Shifu following him. Everyone looks at each other. Outside of the training hall was long line from the Training Hall and down to the stairs while he goose was serving soup.
"Mr. Ping!" Shifu shouted as he runs up to the goose. "This is our Training Hall, not a restaurant!"
Mr. Ping severed a bowl of soup and looks at Shifu. "Don't worry." Mr. Ping assured him. "I'll split the profits with you, uh, eighty twenty. We'll make a fortune! He takes out two more bowls of soup and looks at Shifu. "Have you ever waited on tables before?"
As they were talking, three big pigs were in line. All three of them was wearing a brown vests with blue sash belts and baggy pants while Bao was wearing a hat. Bao, Tsao and Lao watches them.
"That soup ain't gonna serve itself." Mr. Ping said, tossing four bowls onto Shfu's arms. He pushes the master away.
Apple Cart Duck walks to Mr. Ping. "How's it going up here?" the duck asks him.
"Ah, just wonderful." Mr. Ping smiled. "I'm running the place."
Bao looks at Mr. Ping. "That must be the one they call "Shifu"." Bao said. "He will teach us the secret moves."
"Why would he do that?" Lao asks him.
"Because." Bao answered, looking over his shoulder. "We'll make him teach us." The three of them started laughing and began to beat each other up.
An hour has passed. The crowd of customers were absent from the Training Hall's Courtyard. Shifu enters the Training Hall. There was no one inside the Training Hall. "Where is everyone?" Shifu wondered. "Why aren't they training?" He scratches his beard and left.
Shifu headed to the barracks and checked all five rooms. No one was there. He left the student barracks and was walking to Hall Of Heroes. Shifu notices Mantis on a stand with a scroll and walks up to him. "Ahem." Shifu cleared his throat.
"Sorry, we're booked up." Mantis apologizes.
"Mantis." Shifu said, pulling the scroll down a bit for Mantis to see him.
"Oh, Master Shifu!" Mantis chuckles. "Uh, don't worry we can get you a table. Hm." He looks back at the scroll.
Shifu walks by him.
"I'm thinking about sevenish." he called to Shifu.
Viper was slithering along with a bowl of soup on her head as Shifu opens the doors to the Hall Of Heroes. Or so he thought. "Huh?" he gasps in horror.
Po and the rest of the Five were serving customers at the tables. All of the artifacts were being used by the customers. He looks up and sees Mr. Ping's noodle sign where the Dragon Scroll used to be with lanterns. He also notices Tigress getting a bowl from Mr. Ping.
"Hey Crane!" Tigress calls to him. "Hurry up with those bean buns!" She walks away to a table.
Shifu became angry as he watches Po's father cutting up some vegetables. But he calms himself down. "Enough is enough." Shifu muttered to himself. "Hm? Where's Leo?" The red panda looked around and saw Leo bringing in a couple chairs to table.
"I wasn't even expecting this one today." Shifu heard Leo. He walks up to Leo.
"I swear..." Leo growled as he turns around and notices Shifu. "Master Shifu." Leo said. "I thought you were Mr. Ping."
"No I'm not." Shifu replied. "I need to talk to Po."
"He just stepped outside a second ago." Leo said to his master.
After talking to Mr. Wong for a half hour, Shifu went outside and sees Po. "Po." Shifu said.
"Yes?" the panda asked.
"We need to talk." Shifu said as he walks by with his arms behind his back and turns around to look at Po. "Po, I've made a terrible mistake. Your father has-"
"I know."
"And it's been-"
"I know."
"And I can't-"
"I know!"
"So it's time."
"I know."
"I've checked with Mr. Wong and there is a room at his boarding house for your father." Shifu said. "I'm so sorry." He walks away.
"I know." Po said.
After the Jade Hall was empty, Po walks to his room and finds his father sitting on the bed with a jar full of coins from today.
"I have made more in one day than a whole at the Noodle Shop." Mr. Ping smiled. "Amazing!"
"Listen, um, dad." Po said. "I need to talk to you about something."
Leo, Shifu and the Furious Five were standing outside of the room listening to their conversation.
"I wanted to talk to you too." Mr. Ping smiled. He pats the bed and Po sits on the bed. "One of the best parts of this whole thing is that we've gotten to spend time with each other. Father and Son, it's just like the old days. And Master Shifu, taking me in like this, he's such a nice man."
Po was worried.
"I feel so loved." Mr. Ping sighed.
"Dad, you have to go." Po said as he looks at his father.
"What?" Mr. Ping asked confused.
"There's a room at Mr. Wong's." Po said, getting up from the bed. "You can't stay here anymore. It's not working out. Sorry Dad."
Mr. Ping remains silent, looking at his son.
"Heh heh." Po chuckles nervously.
"I see." Mr. Ping said. He grabs his hat and jar. "I'll get my things."
"You don't have to go this minute." Po said.
Mr. Ping walks around him to get to the door and looks at the Dragon Warrior. "And stay where I'm not wanted?" Mr. Ping asks him. "No thank you." He opens the door and didn't notices the others out in the hall.
Shifu, The Furious Five and Leo scrambled to try to not look be suspicious. Mr. Ping grabs his cart and exits the room. Monkey was lifting Viper like a bar bell as Shifu was looking at the wall with Mantis. Crane was pretending to be asleep. As for Tigress and Leo, Tigress had Leo against the wall and kisses him by surprised. Leo was about to head to Tigress and his room when Mr. Ping opens the door, but he backs up into the wall so Tigress can turn around.
The goose passes them as Po exits his room. They all watches Mr. Ping walks away. Monkey pats Po on the shoulder. Po shakes his head, feeling disappointed and walks away from everyone. As Shifu, Monkey, Mantis and Crane walks away, Tigress turns around and notices Leo's face was red.
"I thought you would look at the wall." Leo said.
"That's what I was going to do." Tigress replied to him. "But Mr. Ping would've been more suspicious. That's why I kissed you."
"You're kiss caught me by surprise." Leo said.
"Because it was necessary." Tigress said.
"I'm lucky to have you." Leo said.
"I agree." Viper added.
Leo looks by and sees Viper looking out of their room.
"I thought you left." Leo said.
"I did, but there was something I wanted to ask two about." Viper said, slithering up to them.
"Sure." Leo said.
"Did you two hear someone singing last night?" Viper asks them. "I can hear someone singing from outside. And it sounded like that person is upset."
"I don't know." Leo shrugs his shoulders. "What did the song sound like?"
"It sounded sad." Viper answered. "Like they miss someone."
"Hm." Tigress said, crossing her arms. "I think Po was the one who sang last night when we were sleeping."
"You may be right, but I'm not sure." Viper said.
Who was singing last night?
"I'm telling you, I'm not Shifu!" Mr. Ping shouted. "I don't know anything about old Kung Fu. I make noodles!" The goose was captured by the three pigs and was brought to an abandoned house. Mr. Ping was chained up.
"You're trying to deceive us." Bao said, crossing his arms. "Just what I expect from a master.
"He's very good." Lao said. "I would almost believe that he does make noodles." He looks at his two friends.
"That's because I DO make noodles!" Mr. Ping exclaims angrily.
"You will teach us the secret moves!" Bao growled, pulling out a sword and pointing at the gooses throat. "Or this will be your last night on earth."
"Oh." Mr. Ping smiled nervously. "Kung Fu. "I thought you said Kung Fu, big difference you know. "Let's get started."
The three pigs unchained Mr. Ping. Mr. Ping found four sticks and a gave stick to each pig. "Now this move is called the stick." Mr. Ping said, pulling out a stick. "That's right, the stick. Ready? Everybody raise your stick." Mr. Ping raises his stick.
His students did what they said and hits each other. The three pigs started fighting as Mr. Ping didn't noticed.
"Now extend." Mr. Ping said, extending his stick.
Meanwhile, Po was sitting at the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom with a gloom look on his face while eating a peach. He really felt bad for having to kick out his own father. Then he heard footsteps and notices Mrs. Yoon.
"Po, I think something happened to your father." Mrs. Yoon said.
Po and Mrs. Yoon headed back to the village and Po notices his father's cart flipped over. He notices some tracks.
"Huh." Po said, looking at the tracks. "Tracks go that way. He turns around to Mrs. Yoon and bowed. "Thanks Mrs. Yoon. Bye!" The Dragon Warrior runs off.
Mr. Ping and the three pigs were standing outside of the house. He was still teaching the three pigs his own version of kung fu.
"Ahem." Mr. Ping cleared his throat. "For this next move, you put your hands out like this." He puts his hands forward in front of himself.
All three pigs did the same.
"Very good." Mr. Ping said. "And now we..." He walks up to Bao and sticks out his hands. "Patty-cake, patty- cake, I'm going to... La, to... La..."
Bao glances at his two comrades in confusion. Is this really Kung Fu? After a few seconds, Bao got angry and slaps Mr. Ping's hands. "What's that for?!" he growled at him
"The kids like it." Mr. Ping smiled nervously.
Bao quickly grabs his sword. "You are still trying to deceive us!" Bao snarls at him. "You have taught us nothing! We want the secret moves." He walks up to him closely.
"But I don't kn-know..." Mr. Ping stuttered, raising his arms. But then he remembered. "Wait, I know one. The Chao Wa Punch Kick." He had Lao stands a few feet away in front of Bao. "And now you stand there." He turns around and looks at Bao. "You're going to do turn, a punch and kick." Mr. Ping demonstrated the technique and hops backward near Lao. "But you have to aim for right here." he pointed at the stomach.
They watch the goose takes the sword away from Bao. "Aah!" Bao yelled. He delivers a quick punch, slap, threw in two punches with a kick and did a palm strike.
Lao froze in place.
The two pigs and Mr. Ping were surprised. Mr. Ping walks around Lao as Bao pokes his comrade's nose.
"What happened to him?" Bao asks Mr. Ping.
"I don't know." Mr. Ping wondered. "I-I mean I don't know, but it probably work." he added, looking at Bao.
"You have done it, Master Shifu." Bao said. "We will be forever grateful and appreciative of your mastery." Bao and Tsao bows to Mr. Ping. Lao couldn't do anything as he moved his eyes, making gurgling sounds.
"Oh, well..." Mr. Ping smiles sheepishly.
"A move like this will make us invincible!" Bao exclaims, walking away from them as he thought about this. There will be no one to stop us! And I know the first one to try it on." He turns around and looks at them. "The Panda, the Dragon Warrior! Ha ha ha!"
"Oh, Po!" Mr. Ping gasps softly. "What have I done?!"
Back at the Jade Palace, Leo was outside in the courtyard doing some sparring with Mantis. He blocks Mantis's kick with his knee. He did a short knee strike and caught him with his hands.
"Try this, Leo!" Mantis shouted.
Leo knew he was going to do a nerve attack and Leo removes his hand as Mantis went in the wrong direction and hits Crane.
"Ow!" Crane groans as he got up with Mantis on his beak.
"Damn." Mantis moaned as he hops off of his beak and lands on Monkey's shoulder. "Not bad."
"Thanks." Leo said. "I'll see you guys later."
"Where are you going?" Monkey asks him.
"I'm just going for a walk around the village." Leo answered before he left the courtyard.
Leo was almost at the bottom of the stairs when he saw Mrs. Yoon picking up Mr. Ping's broken dishes. "Mrs. Yoon." he spoke when he got to the bottom. "What happened here? And where's Mr. Ping?"
"Something happened to Po's father." Mrs. Yoon replied. "Po ran off that way to save his father.
"Damnit!" Leo cursed.
"He headed off in that direction." Mrs. Yoon pointing the tracks.
Leo left without saying a word.
Mr. Ping threw his son inside the shed.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Po asks him.
"I'm protecting you, Po." Mr. Ping said in a low voice. He grabs a bucket and starts hitting him with it. "And I'm mad at you." The goose slaps his son's stomach. "You threw me out."
"Dad, I'm sorry." Po apologized. "But you're not always the easiest person to live with."
"Still, it's no way to treat you father!" Mr. Ping yelled.
Bao and Tsao looks inside the shed. "What's going on here?"
Po ducks from the bucket and jumps over it.
"Master stuff." the goose answered, looking at them. He grabs a broom. "Shoo! Shoo!" Mr. Ping shouted, shooing them before retreating back inside.
"I'm sorry, dad!" his son apologizes again. "But bossing Shifu around, turning the Jade Palace into a noodle shop. You always wanted it your way!"
"Me?" Mr. ping asked, pointing at himself.
Po scowls at him.
"Hm." Mr. Ping sighs as he drops the broom. "I guess I was a little pushy. I'm sorry, son."
The two pigs looks inside the shed. "Are you going to destroy him or what?" Bao asks him.
"I got it!" Mr. Ping shouted as he jumps on Po and started slapping him on the arms. "I'm sorry." he said, lowring his voice for Po to hear.
"Ow!" Po grunted as he thrown onto the ground as his father jumps on his back. "It's okay, dad. I love you." Mr. Ping threw on his head and started slapping the fat stomach. "Ow, quit it!"
"You do?" Mr. Ping asks him.
Po got off his head and smiled. "More than anything." the panda said.
Po and his father hugged each other as Bao and Tsao watches them as they entered the shack.
"I don't think we learned that move." Tsao said.
"Ok!" Bao growled. "You had your chance!"
Po took a knee.
"Po, I did something terrible." Mr. Ping said to his son. "I've taught them the Chao Wa Punch Kick!"
"What?!" Po gasps in shock, looking at his father.
"Out of our dam way, Shifu!" Bao yelled angrily, grabbing Mr. Ping and throws him outside. Bao looks back at Po. "Alright, panda, we have some unfinished business and this time, things are going to end differently."
Leo kept on running until he saw a house. He saw Mr. Ping getting thrown out of the shed. Leo runs by the goose. As the three of them were about to fight, Leo dove through the window and got into his stance.
"You're right." Leo growled. "It will end differently." He threw in a quick jab to Tsao's stomach and punches him hard in the stomach quickly. Leo did a twin palm strike to Bao's chest and did a horizontal kick to Tsao in the face. The kick sent him flying towards the fence, making half of his body getting stuck.
Mr. Ping took the advantage to grab a wooden plank and smacks Tsao on the head. "Leave my son alone!" he shouted. The goose threw the plank wood away and started biting the pig's hand.
"Careful, dad!" Po shouted. He grabs a wheel to stop Bao's punch, hit him with the wheel, stops another punch and threw him out of the shack.
"Gr!" Bao growled, standing up and breaking the wheel in half as Leo stood in front of him. "You are the human?"
"That's right." Leo snarls at him.
Leo and Bao collided their fist against one another. He did a knee strike to Bao's stomach and he quickly grabs him by the shoulders as Leo fell backwards and throws Bao back inside the shed. Leo got up and notice Lao is still frozen from the secret move.
"He's frozen." Po said as Leo walks up to him.
Bao and Tsao took the opportunity to sneak up on them behind Lao and began to attack again. Leo dodges to the left towards Mr. Ping as Po got on Lao's head and block the attacks with his paw and foot. Leo quickly came in from behind Tsao and delivered a good strong punch to Tsao's back.
"Gr!" Tsao growls as he turns around and tries to punch Leo. Leo defended himself by raising his arm up to block the attack. Leo did a hurricane hook kick to Tsao's face that made him turned around and gets kick in the stomach by Lao from Po.
Leo did a back flip to dodge Tsao flying towards him but Bao punches him across the face hard. "Rgh!" Leo grunted as he hits the ground.
Bao smirks as he turns around and was about to finish Po. He heard someone yelling and he turns around. Mr. Ping flew towards him. Bao punches the goose and Mr. ping hit the fence knocked out.
"Dad!" Po yelled. He quickly did a jump with two kicks to Bao and jumps behind Tsao as Bao did the Chao Wa Punch Kick. Bao facepalm in annoyance.
The Dragon Warrior rushes to his father. "Dad?" Po asked, looking at his dad worried and kneeling down.
Mr. Ping didn't say a word as his eyes remain shut.
"Dad!" Po yelled.
Bao smirks at the sight and tighten his fist. As he took a couple steps forward, Leo came in front of him as he did a kick to the stomach and a powerful uppercut to the jaw that stunned the pig in surprised. He didn't waste anytime by kicking him in crotch.
Bao squeals in pain as he fell onto his knees. Leo grab's Bao's right paw and jumps behind him and did a quick, but powerful knee strike two times, breaking the pig's arm. He dodges Bao's punch forward to the Dragon Warrior.
Bao stands up and walks towards him. Mr. Ping snaps his eyes open and saw Bao sneaking up from behind Po as Leo faced Bao.
Mr. Ping jumps by Po and lands besides Leo. "AAHH!" Mr. Ping let out a yell. He delivers a quick punch, slap, threw in two punches with a kick and did a palm strike. "AAHH!"
As Mr. Ping delivered the last palm strike, Leo did a hurricane kick to the broken arm as Bao became frozen. Bao fells backward to the ground.
"Way to go dad!" Po smiled. "Sweet Chao Wao Punch Kick!" He looks at Leo. "Nice hurricane kick, Leo!"
The two of them did a fist bump and hugs each other while Leo watch as he cross his arms.
"Thanks son." Mr. Ping said.
After they were doe hugging, Po and Mr. Ping started to walk away. The Dragon Warrior gave his father's hat.
"Whew." Mr. Ping said, putting the hat back on. "You're right, Po. Kung Fu is way more exciting than noodles."
Po stops walking as he was surprised from what his dad said.
"Most of the time." Mr. Ping added.
Po couldn't help but smile and shakes his head then he resumes walking to catch up. But he stops again and turns around to see Leo standing over Bao. "Come on, Leo!" Po called him.
Leo nodded his head before he looks at Bao one more time. He could see that Bao wanted to scream as his arms was broken. Leo growled at the pig before walking away. A thunderstorm can be heard in the distance.
After they got back to the Valley, Leo told Po and Mr. Ping he'll see them later back at the Jade Palace. He bought some paint and supplies to rebuild Mr. Ping's Noodle Restaurant. Leo gave out a small whistle when he saw the damage.
"Well, time to get work." Leo said. He felt a paw on his shoulder and looks over his shoulder to see Tigress with the rest of the Furious Five, Po and Shifu.
"You said it." Po smiled.
Everyone was standing outside of the restaurant with Mr. Ping and the villagers.
"Mr. Ping." Shifu announced. "The Furious Five, Po, Leo and I have worked hard to rebuild your noodle shop. It's the least we could do after..."
"Kicking me out?" Mr. Ping asked.
"Well..." Shifu tried to say.
The goose walks up to him, placing a wing on hi shoulder. "Don't worry about it." Mr. Ping said. "You may be a lousy waiter, but you are a wise master. I deserved it."
The Furious Five and Leo steps aside as the two of them walks up to the ribbon. Mr. Ping cuts the ribbon with a big knife and looks inside. The shop was good as new.
"This was the only paint you can find?" Mr. Ping asked, looking at the paint.
"Dad..." Po said in a low voice.
"I- I mean..." Mr. Ping was trying to say as he turns around. "It's very nice, thank you." He bows to Shifu and turns around to walk to the kitchen.
Everyone followed him inside.
"Who wants noodles?!" Mr. Ping announce. "Half price!"
This chapter is all set, not to mention long too. I bet you're wondering who was singing last night and what was Leo's nightmare is about. More of that will be explained later in certain chapters. You just have to guess. Also I thought it was a good idea to hear Leo was embarrassed from what his friend did. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to leave a review and the next chapter is going to be very exciting!
