Author's Note: Since everyone saw the first official trailer of Kung Fu Panda 4 back in December of 2023, people started posting new scenes from new trailers or Tv Spot commercials for the fourth movie, including behind the scenes. Now the fourth movie is coming out and I'm so excited to see it next month. Now, with that out of the way, it's time to continue on with the story!
Croc You Like A Hurricane
After the kids started staying with Mrs. Yoon, the villagers got their wallets and stuff back. Leo, Tigress and Po were training normally in the past two days. Shifu watched his three students spar against one another in the training courtyard. The weather was nice and clear for a late afternoon like this at the Jade Palace. His three students slowly moved in a circle, keeping an eye on one another. Po was panting as Tigress panted as well.
Leo had panted lightly than the other two warriors. He didn't lower his guard. Leo was proving to be tough for Po and Tigress to beat in a sparring match. Shifu carefully watched his three students, especially Leo. The human quickly attacks Po, causing the Dragon Warrior to block his punch, having Tigress to kick him off to the side before attacking Leo. Leo simply jumps backward to avoid her axe kick and responds back with two double palm strikes.
Tigress met his palm strike with her two palm strikes. The attacks collided to produce a clapping sound. Po took this opportunity to attack both Leo and Tigress with two punches. But he didn't count on Leo to roll backwards by brining Tigress with him. The human launches a kick to send her off of him and hitting the ground as Leo rolls back onto his feet and dove under Po, making him to jump over Leo.
Leo was quick to roll forward on his feet, and lunges at the panda's back with two palm strikes. The panda was sent flying and landed beside Tigress.
"Hm." Leo shifts into his tiger stance.
"That's enough training for today, students." Shifu said to them as the sparring match ended.
"Oh." Po moans, rubbing the spot that Leo strike with his palms.
"You two did good today." Leo pulls Tigress back onto her feet.
"And you as well." Tigress said.
"Thank you."
"So, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Leo wondered.
"We'll have some soup for tonight." Po answered.
After The Dragon Warrior made dinner on the first night, Leo was on his way to the library after he took his bath in the bathhouse. Tigress had already took her bath straight after dinner and went to bed early while Leo stayed behind to do the dishes and Po was sweeping the barracks. As he was walking down the hallway, Leo heard his girlfriend moaning that causes him to stop. He steps inside his girlfriend's room and see her shaking a bit. Leo kneels down next to her bed and places his hand on her shoulder. "Tigress?"
Tigress opens her eyes and saw her boyfriend kneeling next to her bed.
"Are you okay? I heard you moaning when I was in the hallway."
"I'm fine." Tigress sits up. "It was just a bad dream."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Tigress nodded her head and swung her legs to the side and invited him to sit on the bed next with her, which he accepted. "What happened in the bad dream?"
"All of us were facing a giant fiendish beast with horrible fang tentacles. The beast already defeated the rest of the Five while Shifu, Po, you and me were the only ones left. It sent Po and Shifu into a wall and sent me crashing into a jade column. I was struggling to get up after receiving so many attacks. I watched you fight alone against that giant beast by yourself with no help."
"And that's when I heard you moaning in your sleep as I was on my way to the library." Leo slowly nodded.
"Yeah. Thank you for waking me up and listening to my bad dream." Tigress gives him a small smile.
"You're welcome." Leo kisses her on the cheek. "If you want me to stay with you tonight if you do have a bad dream, then I'll stay. Strictly professional, of course."
"You don't have to worry, Leo. I trust you completely that you won't do anything. We have both slept together for the first time when we entered a loving relationship." Tigress wraps her arm around his shoulder.
"I remember that."
"And I remember that Master Shifu explaining his special rules when Mr. Ping's home was being repaired."
"I know. You see me taking my shirt off because the weather can get hot sometimes and I haven't overstepped my boundaries."
"True." She kisses him on the cheek. "Come on. We should get some sleep now."
Leo nodded his head as the two warriors lays down in bed. The two warriors haven't notice Shifu and Po were standing outside of Tigress's room. The small red panda saw Leo inside his adoptive daughter's room. He was going to interrupt their conversation, but Shifu listened to their conversation instead. Leo did moved out of her room months ago and had his own room which is a few rooms away from Tigress's room and the others.
He knew Leo was looking out for her tonight because of a bad dream. Shifu lets out a low quiet sigh and walks away from the room. The Dragon Warrior looks back at Tigress's room and smiled before stepping into his room and fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, the three students woke up at the sound of the gong and greeted their master. Shifu tells them to have breakfast and heads to the training hall to begin training for today. After Leo finishes his breakfast before Po and Tigress, the young man heads over to the Training Hall to see his master reorganizing several weapons on the weapon rack. They stared at each other for a brief moment and Leo heads to the wooden warriors.
The three warriors trained for four hours. Leo stayed behind to train for an extra hour. He heads over to grab some lunch and went over to the Peach Tree Hill to meditate for three hours. Then after dinner, Leo heads into the library to continue his search for answers. He did came across excellent techniques for combat and healing when hearing the voice from the rest of The Five coming back.
But not the answers he was looking for about Kaira.
Leo left the library to the barracks to grab some clean clothes and heads to the bathhouse. He removed his clothes and sits down in the hot water. It was nice and relaxing to wash off the sweat from his body. Once Leo was finished taking his bath, Leo threw the clothes he wore in a bag. He left his room with his iPhone in the pocket of his pants. Leo was planning to meditate at the Peach Tree Hill until he heard the feline moving a little in her room.
Leo quietly opens the door to see the orange feline moving a little in her sleep. He came inside the room quietly and approached her bed. Leo strokes her cheek gently not to wake her up. She stops moving and relaxed as Leo continues his work. He heard her lets out a soft purr, causing him to smile a little.
This reminded him how Crow started having nightmares that was being caused by her father. Leo takes out his iPhone and pulls up a photo of himself, Panther and Crow laying down in the grass five years ago smiling.
"I'm glad that your nightmares stop for now, Crow, since I first slept with you so you can sleep easily that night." Leo lowers his voice. "And some other nights." He turns around and kisses Tigress's forehead gently. The adoptive son of Lee sat a few inches away from her bed and sat on the floor before drifting off to sleep.
Tigress opens one eye half way to look at Leo. She was listening to what Leo was saying about Crow. But why did Leo say that? She'll have to talk to him about it tomorrow night.
The next morning, Leo, Po and the Furious Five were standing on large wooden columns in the training courtyard. Leo rolls his eyes in annoyance as he heard the panda snoring. After Shifu woke Po up, everyone resumes their training. The rest of the Five groaned.
Po was blocking Tigress's attacks.
"Master Shifu, we spent hours training everyday and training our asses off! And why?!" Po complains.
"Because you all stand in between the innocent and evil." Shifu answered.
"We kicked evil's ass-"
Leo came in from behind Po with a hard flying side kick that sent the panda falling to the ground.
"Can we take a break, seriously? I think our kung fu skills are way past overkill." Po rubs his back.
"Who care if they're past overkill, Po." Leo said, blocking Monkey's punch. "I'd rather keep training than slaking off. It's why I stayed in shaped for a long time." Leo hops off the column and walks over to the Dragon Warrior. "You don't know who's going to appear out of nowhere and attack."
"You mean-"
Leo quickly swept the panda's feet out underneath him as the panda fell on his back.
"True warriors must always be at their peak, Po." Shifu looks downs at him.
Po got back on his feet. "But, Master Dude, no one we ever fight is a challenge anymore. We can all beat up the bad guys with our pinkies." He exaggerated.
"And what about the Saber clone?" Leo folded his arms. "You and Viper only fought against Saber once while the rest of the Five and Shifu did not get a chance to fight against the clone. However, I fought against the original Saber and others because Panther, my other friends and myself have much experience to deal with them."
"That is true, Leo." Shifu nodded. He heard Zeng flapping his wings and landed in the courtyard, causing the red panda to turn around.
"There's trouble in the village!" He cried out.
"This is why you have to keep your kung fu in shape!" Shifu exclaims to Po. "Who knows-"
"It's the croc bandits!"
"Oh never mind." Shifu sighs.
The red panda and his students left the training courtyard and arrived at a market tent where the crocs are.
"Would you just attack that guy?!" Fung complains at Gahri.
"Ahem." Po cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Gah!" Fung groans in frustration.
"Here's where I make my point." Po smirks at Shifu. "Leo, Furious Five, pinkies out."
"This is just dumb." Monkey said.
"And I don't have pinkies." Viper added.
"Oh forget it." Po said to them, before looking back at the croc bandits. "By myself, ready? G-" The panda felt a hand on his shoulder and looks over to see Leo.
"I'll handle them." Leo glares at the crocs.
"Bu-"
Leo quickly charges at Fung and punches him in the gut. He jumps over the croc and did a leg sweep on Fung and Gahri. Wong and Wall Eye was charging at him with a barrel and a bamboo staff. The human did a backflip kick to knock the staff out of Wong's claws while kicking him in the jaw. He grabs the staff and smacks Wall Eye out unconscious to the head. The Dragon Warrior, The Furious Five, Shifu and the goat watched Leo fight against the croc bandits.
"This is just sad." the goat said.
Leo caught Gahri's tail and swings him into the other bandits. He quickly grabs Fung and did several knee strikes to the croc's crotch before knocking him out. The human looks around at the fallen crocs.
"So should I beat them with just one pinkie?" Po wondered.
They turn around to see Shifu walking away from the tent. As the Five went to catch up with Shifu, Po turns around to see Leo still standing over the defeated croc bandits. He saw Leo stomping on Fung's tail and ankle before leaving the tent. Po and Leo caught up to the others.
"Master Shifu, how awesome would I be if beat them with my pinkies?" Po gloats. "Sometimes I'm so awe-"
"You don't think you need to train so much, do you?!" Shifu turns around and snaps at him.
Po simply shook his head in response as the Furious Five became shocked at their master's reaction. Leo, however remained silent.
"Fine." Shifu sighs. "As of now, Po is in charge of training."
"No way." Tigress shook her head.
"Yay." Po smiled.
"Good luck with that." Shifu said before heading back to the Jade Palace.
"We are not going to seriously to go through with this, are we?" Tigress looks at her team.
"Come on, it'll be fun." Monkey tells.
Po turns around to them and giggles.
"That's exactly what I'm afraid of." Tigress said.
"Don't expect to see me in your training sessions, panda." Leo snarls at him.
"Come on, Leo. It won't be so bad." Monkey said.
"Oh sure. Won't be so bad that Po will fuck this up like he did when Junjie was pretending to be Oogway. Nice job, by the way." Leo glares at the panda. "I'll train by myself so I don't have to waste my time with any kind of training that you have in mind, panda. Starting today!" He brushes by Po and heads back to the Jade Palace.
Meanwhile, Fung and his croc bandits were walking on a dirt path in the bamboo forest.
"I can't believe we made pity money in the last three months!" Fung complains. He turns around to them. "That means we're officially beggars! There has to be someone we can rob!" Fung hear someone walking nearby and saw a small old man walking.
The old man was wearing a red robe and a mask with two horns that looks like a demon.
Fung and his bandits landed in front of the old man.
"Hand us your money, old man, and you won't get hurt!" Fung threatens them.
"Or, you can hand me your money and you won't get hurt." the old man said.
The crocs started laughing.
"Are you, like, trick-or-treating, guy? You're smaller than my head, ha ha!" Fung laughed.
The old man said nothing in response.
"Then I guess you have nothing to fear, hm?" the old man assumes a fighting stance. He jumps over Fung and kick him and Wall Eye to the ground before punching Gahri to the ground. The bandits didn't last long, and they were on the ground moaning. The old man sticks his hand out and Fung hands over the pity money to him as the bandits regroup behind their leader. "Thank you. I shall consider this as payment for your training."
"Training?"
"Do you enjoy being beaten by Po, Leo and the Furious Fiveagain, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again?"
"No sir. It stinks, sir." Fung answered honestly as he sat on his butt.
"Then your training begins now." the old man offers his hand out.
Fung looks at his bandits then at old man smiling. He grabs the old man's hand, and the old man tosses the croc behind him on his stomach.
"That was lesson one." the old man approaches him. "I am Master Jia and you're going to hate training with me."
"You are going to love training with me." Po said as he finished working on a swing set in the training courtyard. Tigress was not impressed as her arms were folded across her chest.
"I am not doing this." Tigress said to him.
"You heard what Shifu said, Tigress." Po sits on the swing. "I'm in charge of training and you got to do what I say."
The orange feline said nothing as she watched the Dragon Warrior swings in front of her. She turns her head to the columns and saw Leo doing some handstand pushups. His face was covered with the orange shirt that reveals his abdomen. He did a impressive front flip to get back on his feet. Leo removes his shirt and tosses it to the side.
Tigress knew Leo didn't want to participate training with them since Shifu put Po in charge of training. Leo didn't participate with them last time since the "Ghost Of Oogway" appeared. But this time, Shifu put Po in charge of training. Monkey, Mantis and Crane tried to convince him to join them since Po is in charge, but the three warriors failed. Leo was serious about not participating in Po's so-called "training" and he made that clear to them back in the village this morning.
But not only that, the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five suspected the nightmares of the incident that Leo never talks about.
Leo got into his fighting stance and was about to resume his training until he notices his girlfriend staring at him. The human said nothing and turns away to resume his training. Leo had sent out two punches followed by a fast leg sweep that went into a spinning uppercut and he did a forward axe kick. Leo snarls softly. He was about to do an inside block until he heard Po's voice.
"Hey, Leo."
Leo looks down to see the panda approaching the column. He lets out an annoyed sigh and hops down in front of the panda. "What the hell do you want, Po? If this is about trying to get me to join your ridiculous so-called "training", I'm still not going to participate."
"I just want to let you know that The Furious Five and I are heading to the bamboo forest to fly some kites." Po said.
"Okay."
"And maybe we could talk about..." Po looks behind him and saw Tigress leaving the training courtyard. "That person we can't tell the others yet."
"Hm." Leo nodded.
"Any signs of that person?"
"Not since my last encounter when you were trying to master the Silken Moon Touch. But I haven't seen that person since then."
"How many times did you encounter this person?"
"Several times here in this world. The first encounter happened when The Furious Five went to the levitation demo and you fought Temutai with some help. It's why I had those bandages on the next day."
"So that person cut your hands that night?"
"Yes."
"Why the hell you didn't say anything?"
"I'm trying to figure out how did that person survived last time. I thought that was the last time both teams and I saw the last of that person." Leo answered. "You don't how capable this mercenary is."
"Maybe I could help you bring this mercenary down."
"You can't. This mercenary is dangerous than any villain you and the others faced in this world, and we can't be sure if this is the same person or not. You, Shifu, The Furious Five, Rhino, Ox and Croc went up against Sying and his helicopters because of Panther and me."
"You think that mercenary may have dangerous weapons than those helicopters?"
"There's a possibility on that. It's also another reason why I can't join your training that you're preparing for the Five. I'm not going to waste my time running around with a kite, panda. I have to keep up with my training if the mercenary or I cross paths again."
"But Leo-"
"No, Po. I have to do this alone. I'll finish the mercenary off before someone gets hurt. Or worse."
"Leo-"
Leo ignores him and walks inside the training hall. As Po shook his head and left the courtyard, Tigress hops off from the roof she was hiding onto the courtyard. This time Tigress heard the full conversation. He lied to her about that night. The reason why he stood her up. Leo did that to fight this mercenary.
And Leo mentioned he's trying to figure out how did that mercenary survived after the last encounter with both teams. He even fought the mercenary several times in this world and this mercenary is different than the other villains they faced from what she heard from Leo and Po's conversation. But what is this connection between Leo, this person named Enya and the mercenary? And why does Leo doesn't need their help? Tigress thought it was best to talk to him later tonight.
Leo hasn't joined them for the whole day. He had lunch on his own and resumes his training in the Training Hall before moving on to the Palace Arena. Shifu noticed Leo hasn't join them in them for the whole day. He checked up on Leo after watching Po and the rest of the Five taking naps on the wooden columns. It's no surprise to the Grand Master that Leo continues training during his free time.
Leo really didn't like the idea of Po being in charge of training. The human left the training courtyard to get some dinner early from the kitchen before Po and the Furious Five. He left the kitchen and took his bath. Leo dried his hair and entered his room. After his hair was dry, Leo looks around the room in case Enya attacks. There was no sign of her. He has been wondering how the hell did she survived. Leo got into his bed and drifts off to sleep.
The warriors of the Jade Palace were sleeping in their own rooms. No one was awake. Leo tossed and turned in his sleep a little. His breathing was shallow. He can hear the voices of the incident from the past five years ago.
"You think you can protect your master?! You are nothing but a pathetic failure!"
"Leo!"
"No one can defeat me!"
"Don't you fucking dare disrespect my master, you insolent fool!"
"Once I kill you all of you, no one will stop me!"
"Watch out!"
"NO, LEO!"
"Ha ha ha!"
"Can you see anything up there?!"
"You have to be fucking kidding me!"
"GROAR!"
"What the hell?!"
"What was that roar?!"
"N-N-No, stop! PLEASE, DON'T! N-ARRRGGHH!"
"Calm down!"
"Panther."
"Calm down. It's over now."
"What have... I done...?"
Leo was tossing more frequently, gritting his teeth. He sat up quickly with sweat on his face. His breathing was light. His heart was racing. He felt like he was going to throw up. The young man drags himself out of bed and exits his room quietly. He walks down the hall to the bathroom and used his iPhone to shine a light.
"Ngh...!" Leo groans, grabbing his head. He quickly got on his knees and placed a wooden bucket just in time as he was about to vomit. But Leo didn't open his mouth as he used his hands. Leo swallows it back down. He leans back against the wall and just sat there in silence and alone. The young man struggled a bit to stand up, clutching his head and opening his mouth.
There was blood in his mouth. The young man started rinsing his mouth with warm water. His mouth was clean but still feel the taste of blood. He left the bathroom and walks down the hall back to his room as he carefully avoided several spots that made the floor squeak. Leo made it back to his room with the wooden bucket and didn't even bothered to close the door. He opens up his window a little a bit and wrote a quick note before leaving the note in front of the doorway.
Leo started to breathe slowly. He looked down the hall and was glad Po and the Five were still sleeping. The young man could feel himself not feeling too good. He fell on his knees silently. Leo resisted to have a sound escape from his mouth. The young man crawls to his bed on all fours. Once Leo made it to his bed, he took his shirt off and threw it somewhere in his room before collapsing on his side as he passed out and keeping the wooden bucket close to his bed while his back face the door.
The next morning, Shifu enters the hallway as the gong rang. He watched his students open their doors.
"Good morning, Master." they all greeted him.
Before Shifu can speak back to his students, he notices Leo's door was open. The small red panda walks toward the human's room and sees him still sleeping. He took a step in the doorway and saw the note on the floor. Shifu bents down to pick it up and reads it. It looks like it was rushed. "Hm."
"Master Shifu, is Leo not going to get out of bed?" Viper slithers up besides him.
"No, Viper. His note says he didn't feel too good when he was sleeping in the middle of the night. I'll have Zeng keep an eye on Leo while Po trains you today." Shifu looks at the snake before looking at Monkey. "Get an extra pillow, an extra blanket, a wooden bucket of water and an empty bucket. Po, help Monkey out while Tigress keeps an eye on Leo. The rest shall go to the kitchen to get some breakfast."
Tigress enters his room and sees his back facing towards her. She approaches his bed and kneels besides it.
"Leo." Tigress muttered. She looks down at his bed and notices the sweat stains on his pillow. "Leo must've been sweating last night. He went to bed early last night around eight o'clock before I can have a chance to talk to him. Maybe I'll talk to him later when's he better."
Leo made soft a growl that snapped Tigress out of her thoughts. The feline watched him turn on his back. She looks over her shoulder to see Monkey and Po coming into the room with the items they brought for Leo.
"How is he?"
"Leo's resting for now. Did you bring an extra pillow?"
"Yeah, along with the others." Monkey sets them down.
"Hang on. Leo already has a bucket with him." Po notices the bucket on the other side of Leo's bed.
"He must've brought with last night. Is there nothing to throw out from that bucket?" Monkey asked.
The feline stands up and saw nothing inside the bucket. "Nothing."
"Good. Tigress, do you mind taking these off my hands? I have to get down to the kitchen and cook up some breakfast before we train."
"Fine." Tigress sighs as he hands the buckets over to her. She sets the two buckets next to the empty bucket. "Will you set the new pillow in while I get him to sit up?"
"Sure." Monkey smiled.
Tigress lifts Leo halfway up and Monkey switched the old pillow with the new one. She sets him down gently.
"Mm." Leo murmured. He stirred a little. The human opened his eyes a bit. "Tigress...? Mon... Monkey?"
"Easy, Leo. Master Shifu found the note you left in your doorway."
"Hm." Leo nodded his head.
"So when did this happen last night?"
"In the middle of the night. I feel a little better after I went to the bathroom last night." Leo answered as he sits up. "Maybe I'll meditate and go for a walk."
"Alright, but don't do any training today." Tigress said to him. "Ok?"
Leo lets out a sigh and nodded.
"Good. Tigress and I will swing by the kitchen to fix you some breakfast if you want." Monkey said.
"You don't have to do that. I should be fine after getting a couple more hours of sleep." Leo replied. "And don't worry about the wooden buckets. I'll take care of it."
"Alright then, Leo."
"See you later, Leo." Tigress kisses his cheek and left the room with Monkey.
Around noontime, Leo was better than this morning. He threw the water out and puts the wooden buckets back in the bathroom. He had a small bowl of rice and water for breakfast. For lunch, it was tofu. Leo was taking a walk in the village. He passed by several villagers who greeted him. While he was walking by, Leo saw Mrs. Yoon.
"Hello, Leo."
"Mrs. Yoon." Leo said to her as he walks by her.
"I was wondering where you were after Po and the Furious Five were beating up the croc bandits after the croc bandits stopped those other bandits several minutes ago." Mrs. Yoon said.
Leo stops and turns to look at her. "What do you mean? Can you explain what happened?"
"Certainly. Apple Cart Duck was getting robbed by these water buffalo bandits until the croc bandits came. The crocs defeated the bandits and the villagers cheered for saving Apple Cart Duck. Then The Dragon Warrior came with The Furious Five and stared beating up the croc bandits. After they heard the croc bandits stopped the other bandits, the kung fu masters left."
Leo looked unconvinced at that explanation.
"It's true." The old goat said.
Leo walks away from her. He can hear the villagers cheering to his left and saw them cheering at the croc bandits. "What's going on here?" Leo approached the crowd.
The cheering stops. The croc bandits and the villagers' glances at Leo.
"Those croc bandits saved Apple Cart Duck." A goat villager answered.
Leo looks at the goat before looking back at Fung and the Croc Bandits. "Is that so?"
"Yeah." Fung answered. The croc ran by Leo and starts beating up the same bandit that was sneaking up on behind Leo. Afte the bandit runs away; the croc looks at Leo. "How's that?"
"You and your fucking bandits must've been training since I kicked your ass yesterday. However, I'm still not convinced that you had gotten better in one day of training, even that you displayed your skills today. You're just fucking weak." Leo sneers at Fung before he walks by him.
Fung and Master Jia were sparring with bamboo staffs in the bamboo forest. "Today was weird. Instead of being bandits, we were actually the good guys, in which I think that's cool."
"Then perhaps you found your true destiny." Jia blocks Fung's attack.
"What's your point?"
"My point is there's another way to defeat the Furious Five." Jia walks over to a chest.
"Like being better than them as good guys?" Fung smiled. "That'll be great."
Jia walks over to him with a blue scroll of a yellow dragon. "Here." Jia hands it over. "The next time you see Shifu, present this to him."
Five days has passed in the Valley Of Peace. The crocs have been getting everywhere before Po and the Furious Five. Leo was watching the croc bandits in different parts of the village during the day and night while he was The Black Spirit. He had to be very careful when the Five was around.
The next morning, Leo was standing at the top of the staircase, looking down at the village. He wondered how'd the crocs did got good at kung fu. The young man didn't even join his girlfriend and the others to train these past five days. Leo had been training alone in the Training Hall, The Training Courtyard and the Palace Arena. He left the palace and heads down to the village.
Leo arrives at the village, and he was heading towards the entrance of the village until he heard a couple voices behind him. He turns around to see a pig and a water buffalo running with a bag of money. "Going somewhere, boys?" Leo got into his stance.
"Seriously?!" the water buffalo exclaims.
Leo quickly made short work of the two bandits and got the money back from them. He found some rope and tied their wrists and ankles tightly. The human drags the two bandits to the side of the road and knocks them out unconscious.
"While you two heroes were arguing, those-" Mr. Ping was saying until a bag of money landed in his wings.
"-are unconscious and stopped." Leo interrupted as he walks behind Mr. Ping and leans against the wall.
"Look, we had everything under control until you got here, guy." Fung said.
"It's true, son." Mr. Ping looks at his son. "You did ruin everything."
"Thanks, Dad." Po said sarcastically.
"Look at The Furious Five. They're old and played out." a duck merchant said.
"You say that after all we had done for this village?" Tigress looks at the villagers.
"You named a well after me." Viper pointed out.
"Look, all of you were great but I think we need someone who can still do the job."
"That is ridiculous." Shifu approaches them. "The Furious Five may not be at their peak, but there's no reason to say that. And-"
"Oh, there you are." Fung interrupts him, getting his attention. "I'm supposed to give this to you."
Shifu approaches Fung and the croc hands him the scroll. He unrolls the scroll and reads it. "Oh no." Shifu's eyes widen.
"Master Shifu?" Leo walks up behind him. "What is it?"
"It's a letter from the Emperor." Shifu answered and looks at his students. "He sent Jia to train your replacements."
"What does that mean?" Po asked.
"The crocs are the new Furious Five. We have been fired, my friends." Shifu answered sadly.
"Hell yeah!" Fung cheered. He noticed Po and the Five looks at them flabbergasted, except for Leo who continued to stare at Shifu. "Sorry." He apologizes and looks at Gahri. "Hell yeah."
"We're fired?" Tigress asked her master.
"So we can like move in the Jade Palace?" Fung smiled.
"That can't be right!" Mantis argued.
"The Jade Palace is our home."
"Not anymore." Shifu said. It's the crocs home now."
"But they can't-"
"This is seal of the Emperor. To disobey is treason." Shifu shows them the scroll.
"On the plus side, it's a step-up for someone like us who's been living in the forest." Fung said.
No one said nothing.
"Alright, we'll pack up your stuff and send it to you here. Ciao!" Fung walks by as he waves at them.
"It was an honor to know you all. But nothing lasts forever. Goodbye." Shifu said sadly handing over the scroll and walking away.
The former students said nothing and watched their master leave. Before Tigress can move, Leo moves quickly than her and stood in front of the Dragon Warrior.
"This is all your fucking fault." Leo glares at him sternly. He snatches the scroll out of Po's hands. "Not only it's your fault, but The Furious Five as well. If you listen to Shifu instead of gloating or The Furious Five tried to convince Shifu to have one of them do it, we wouldn't be in this situation. Thankfully I'm glad I didn't participate in your fucking pathetic training, panda." He walks away from them.
"Damn it." Po cursed. "Maybe there's a way to fix this if it's not too late."
"Of course it is!" Mantis exclaims. "The crocs are the new Furious Five!"
"Hang on." Po said as he remembers what the scroll said. "Master Jia was commanded by the Emperor to train the crocs as our replacements. So if we find Jia so he can train us, we'll replace the crocs too!"
The Furious Five looks at each other before looking back at Po.
"It might not be a bad idea." Viper said.
"And what about Leo? Shouldn't he come with us to see Master Jia?" Crane suggested.
"Maybe we should give him some space." Monkey said. "One of us should let him know."
"I'll tell Leo." Tigress said. She left them to go find Leo.
Leo had already left the village and was in the bamboo forest. He was sitting on a rock, tossing the scroll in his hand. There was something that he didn't like about this. The Emperor commanding Master Jia to train the crocs to replace them. This is the first time he heard about this Master Jia.
Leo unrolls the scroll to read it. While he was reading, some kind of smell entered his nose. He took a sniff, and it smells like tea. Why would it smell like tea? The young man decided to confront the croc bandits to know how much they know about Jia. Hearing Tigress's voice calling out to him, Leo ignored his girlfriend's call and flew off to the Jade Palace. He had to fly extremely high to avoid Po and the Furious Five.
The human landed on the top of the steps right outside the Jade Palace. He quickly rushed to the Student Barracks. Leo saw Gahri about to slide the door open. "No!" Leo shouted fiercely. He made a quick mad dash and slams the croc against the wall.
"Oww..." the croc groans as he rubs the back of his head. "What-"
Leo punches him across the face. "Whatever you're going to do just now, you will not go in that room, and you will not touch anything. Because if you do, you're going to wish that you never were born in this world, you bandit scum." Leo threatens Gahri. He walks away from the shocked and scared crocodile.
Several hours later, Po and the Five were walking through the woods in the afternoon looking for Master Jia. They've been searching for him with no success.
"I give up." Po said as he stops walking and turns around to his friends. "We're never going to find-" The Furious Five didn't say anything as they were surprised. Po stops talking to see Master Jia landing in front of the panda, causing him to fall on his back. "Wow, you're small. Master Jia?"
"Yes, and you must be the one they call Po." Jia offers a hand to him. He pulls Po halfway and pushes him to land behind the Furious Five. "For lesson one, you must never let your guard down."
"So, you'll train us?"
"If I do train you, this will be the most intense, argulus, painful training you have ever experience."
"Booyah!" Tigress smiled. She was excited to train under Jia.
"That sounds kind of-" Po was saying, but he stops as the Furious Five scowls at him. "We're in."
"And where is the human Leo I heard?" Master Jia asks them.
"I think he's still back at the village, still mad at us." Po looks away from Master Jia.
The Furious Five glances at one another with a little sadness.
Meanwhile, Leo was in another part of the forest with three bags. He sets them down on the ground. As he was about to take an apple out, Leo heard a voice behind him.
"So, you must be Leo."
The young man turns around to see a young woman and a man. They were both wearing the same black robes.
"Who are you two?" Leo asks them.
"I'm Pepper Iemma. The leader of Twilight Titans." Pepper introduced himself.
"And I'm Azel Granger." Azel introduced herself.
"But we know about you, Leo." Pepper approaches him. "The Bloodthirsty Monster."
Leo folds his arms. "Not surprised you know about the incident." He growls softly at him.
"Yes, I must say the skills you displayed that night five years ago made everyone surprised, flabbergasted, shocked and scared all over the world." Pepper said.
"So why are you here?" Leo asks him.
"To help you train after receiving a visit."
"From whom?"
"A mysterious young woman. Somehow this woman knows about you and is searching for something, but we don't know what it is. Whatever they're searching for, it can't be good. Which is why Azel is going to help you train if this threat appears in the future." Pepper said.
"You're not staying?" Azel looked surprised.
"Unfortunately, I can't. I have to get back to help the others to rescue the mayor from The Wolf Gang members led by their leader Tina." Pepper explains. "Which is why I brought you here to train Leo. You can come back after his training is complete."
"That's fine with me." Azel said.
"Good." Pepper said.
"Wait." Leo stops him before Pepper can snap his fingers. "Why should I trust you?"
"Because Azel and Risa were the ones who helped out James a few days ago to deal with The Sparta Organization." Pepper looks at Leo.
"They helped James?"
"Yes. James finished off General Jay and escaped before the base was destroyed. Two people found James just as he passed out."
"The two people who found him was Serena and Ava."
"That's good to know, but that has to be one hell of a mess right now."
"The Federal Government is preparing to make a deal with him because he helped in that battle two years ago. He would be given a full pardon for his actions if he undergoes court-mandated psych-evaluation." Pepper explains. "From what I heard. Now I have to get going." He snaps his fingers and enters through the black portal.
Leo looks at Azel. "Shall we get started?"
"Yes." Azel answered. She removes her black cloak, revealing her blue athletic t-shirt and white athletic pants and blue sneakers.
Leo takes out the scroll of the Emperor from behind him and tosses it on his bag as Azel puts her cloak besides the bags. They walk a few feet away from each other and faces to one another. Leo got into his tiger stance. Azel got in a fighting stance and the two started walking towards each other that turns into a run. Leo quickly lunges at her with two palm strikes.
She caught both of his palms and fell backwards to bring her feet close and kicks him behind her as she got back on her feet and attacks back at him. Leo was blocking her punches and kicks. He ducks her spinning hook kick. But as Leo was about to counterattack, she did a strong backflip kick underneath his armpits and Azel flips him onto his back, sitting on his upper chest. Azel got off his chest.
"You lost." Azel offers a hand to him. She pulls him up on his feet. "Not a bad sparring match."
"That was a nice move you performed to get me on my back." Leo said.
"Thanks. It's a good move that I've been trying to work on the past few months. You're the first person I tried that on."
"Hmph." Leo folded his arms.
"Let's continue training, shall we?"
The next day, Leo was doing pullups upside down while carrying two buckets of water on a tree branch with Azel on the other side of tree. Azel was wearing a blindfold as Leo circles around her with the diamond sword. He strikes at her from the left and she blocks it with her arm. Leo continues his attack, but each attack was blocked or dodged. He was only using the back of the blade. The young woman got him in the stomach and the wrist, causing him to let go of the sword before his punch was caught in her hand. She removes her blindfold and Leo nodded his head.
That night, Leo and Azel was racing in the forest. They got back to their campsite after running for an hour and a half. While they were preparing to make some dinner, Leo heard something. He hides behind a nearby bush and saw Master Jia walking alone.
"Hey, what's going on?" Azel whispers as she approaches besides Leo. He silently pointed at Jia.
The small master stops walking and takes of his mask, revealing to be Shifu.
Leo said nothing when he saw his master was Master Jia. The two of them walks away silently to head back to their site.
"Master Jia is Shifu?" Leo growled. "What the hell is he thinking? I knew there was something off about this whole situation that I didn't like."
"I'm sure there's a good reason." Azel said, handing him a bowl of rice and mixed vegetables and sits across from him. "To have him understand how important it is to train."
"Master Shifu should've come up with a different strategy than going through with this." Leo said. "Speaking of different strategies, I'm surprised James came up with that strategy to take down General Jay."
"That strategy was risky, but worth it." Azel swallows her rice.
"So, tell me, what happened after Serena and Ava found James?"
"After they found him, their friend Brock arrived by the time Task Force 493 came onto the scene and took him into custody before the SWAT Team can come in to get him. The task force brought James to the nearby hospital and even had a surprise visit from the president of the industrial enterprise, Ethan Wilson."
"The President of Wilson Industries visited James?"
"Yes."
"What the hell? Is he trying to recruit James?"
"I don't know if Ethan was trying to recruit him in his WARRIOR Program." Azel shrugs her shoulders. "But I do know that the federal government was planning to visit James and talk about the deal."
"If James does take this deal, it would be good for him to take it."
The two continued to eat their meal in silence. Once their meal was finished, Leo made sure his bags were closed tightly.
"Where are you going?" Azel asked him.
"I'm heading back to the Jade Palace to put my stuff back now that I know Shifu orchestrated this."
"How are you going to get back?" Leo answered her by spreading his fiery wings. He could see she was surprised.
"I'll be back." Leo tells her before taking off into the night sky. He flew out of the forest and heads to the barracks. The human lands outside of the barracks and sneaks into his room by going through the window. He placed his scrolls, clothes and uniform back into their right places before leaving his room.
Azel was sitting in front of the small fire as she waited for Leo. She looks up just as Leo landed several feet away from her and walks to the campsite and sits down across from her.
"I'm surprised that you were able to spread wings made out of fire." Azel said.
Leo nodded his head. "Because I have The White Tail Tigress inside me."
"It's inside you?"
"Yes. I don't know why she's inside me in the first place."
"Amazing. I read in a book that it disappeared fifty years ago."
"That's something I'm trying to figure out. Ever since I found out, I've been searching through the scrolls to see if there are answers to this and it's frustrating. Not mention it had given me some of it powers to fight against a demon dragon."
"Is that where they come from?"
"That's the only explanation from what I know. And maybe why my skin didn't burn the first time. After I killed Sying, I did receive some good burn marks on my arms and legs that it went away in one week."
"That's impressive. Impressive as my partner."
"Who's your partner?" He asked.
Azel looks down at her shadow. "You can come out now."
Leo saw a hand coming from her shadow. A young teenage boy was coming out into the open. He was wearing an orange Shaolin Monk robe. His hair is short, spiky and red as his blue eyes stared at Leo.
"This is your partner?"
"Yes."
"I'm Kaito Ito." Kaito introduced himself. "It is an honor training with you yesterday and today."
"I thought it was just Azel and myself today."
"I was fighting alongside side her during yesterday's sparring." Kaito said.
"What are you?" Leo asked.
"Kaito and I are called Shadow Guardian." Azel begins to explain. "About seven years ago, I was on my way to the Dojo until Kaito bumped into me while being chased by these men in suits. The two of us tried to fight back, but they overpowered us."
"Then the next thing I knew, I was inside her shadow literally."
"After that, we both defeated the men and went back to my dojo. He tells me they were after him for some reason. That's when his father called on his phone. We learned that this is a rare ability where a person can sink into a person's shadow and copy their fighting techniques."
"This ability was lost centuries ago. My ancestors were the first people to use this ability and they call it Shadow Guardian. If I sink into Azel's shadow, I can give her an extra boost during battle. But anyway, Azel and I learned that my older sister was kidnapped by a man named David. He was planning to use my ability to commit murder against the people who executed his mother. It was a great experience to know Azel before we confronted David and defeated him. He was arrested and sent to prison for life."
"Then how did you two became members of Twilight Titans?"
"Pepper found us at Azel's home and asked him to join Twilight Titans to control our abilities. He's a good man and we met others over the years that joined our team."
"Hm." Leo folded his arms. "Not bad."
"Let's get some rest so we train one more time before heading back." Kaito said.
The two of them nodded their heads in agreement.
When morning came, Leo stands across the two Titans and got into his fighting stance. He watched Kaito nodded to him and sinks into Azel's shadow. Azel ran to him with a flying side kick. Leo easily sidestepped and delivered a chop to her back before he had to block her strong jab with his elbow strike. But Leo felt his feet swept from underneath him and fell onto his back. He saw Azel's punch coming. When Leo lifted his arm, something stopped his arm and received several punches. He stuns her with a headbutt and got back on his feet until something caught his attention.
Azel's shadow was moving on its own. Azel can see Leo was surprised to see this.
"Hmph!" Leo jumps into the air. He saw the shadow springs up from the ground in front of him and delivered several fast jabs. Blocking the jabs, Leo counter attacks with a knee strike followed by an axe kick. Leo fires a beam at it, causing the shadow to dodge the attack and went back to the ground. The shadow threw Azel towards Leo and both of their fists collided into one another. Both warriors landed on the ground near each other.
"I have to say I'm a surprised that you fired a beam from your forehead. Was that part of the White Tail Tigress power?"
"Yes, among several others that I chose not to do for this training. But I could see why that you are known as The Shadow Guardian. You are formidable in combat. Not bad using your shadow to attack and defend in training. It caught me off guard. Reminds me of how Ju Fen use my shadow to teleport herself to get me during training."
"Thanks. You know, you don't have to keep your guard up around us." Kaito emerges from Azel's shadow.
"I have to because it's too soon to trust you, your leader and the rest of Twilight Titans." Leo folded his arms. "You might gain the trust from the masters of the Jade Palace, Crimson Dusks and Crimson Dawn in the future, but gaining my trust will not be easy for any of you."
"Who knows, one day we'll earn your trust." Azel said. "And the Twilight Titans are good people, Leo."
"We'll see."
"Well, Azel and I should get back since all of our training is complete." Kaito replied. "It was an honor to train with you and I hope we meet again."
Azel snaps her fingers and a black portal appeared. Leo watch the two Titans walks through the black portal. He wonders who the mysterious young woman Pepper was talking about that made Pepper to come visit him and have Azel and Kaito help to train for whatever threat that would be coming into the future or why Ethan was planning to recruit James. Task Force 493 is a United States Army Platoon that had helped Wilson Industries several times including saving the world two years ago from a powerful warrior and it was the last time Task Force 493 and Wilson Industries helped each other. Leo doesn't fully trust Ethan or his industry. Even Jodi doesn't trust Ethan as well. Jodi met Leo and his friends when they were twelve after her team received an invitation to be at the festival. It was also the time where Ava introduced Leo to Rex and Cody.
Leo did think how they were doing back in the human world. He spreads his fiery wings and takes off for the Jade Palace and to defeat the croc bandits. From above, Leo could see them leaving the Jade Palace to reach the valley.
Meanwhile, Po and the Furious Five were just finishing up their training with Master Jia.
"You have trained well, my pupils."
"Even me?" Po smiled.
"Yes Po. Perhaps with a little more crying than the others."
"Dad says that's my special gift."
Jia jumps over them from the rock and landed a few feet away. "Come with me."
"Where are we going, Master Jia?" Tigress asks him.
"To head to the Jade Palace that you will prove you are more worthy than the crocs are." Jia answered.
The croc bandits were walking on the staircase. When they reached the palace arena, Fung saw a severely injured water buffalo bandit struggling to crawl away from Leo. Leo had his foot on the buffalo's tail. The human snarls when he saw the bandits entering the Palace Arena before he knocked out the bandit out cold.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Fung wondered.
"To get you and your fucking bandit scum out of this palace." Leo snarls darkly at them. "You don't deserve to be here."
Fung and his bandits became a little scared of Leo's tone.
"If you're here to challenge us for the Jade Palace, so be it." Fung said, trying to be brave.
Leo spreads his fiery wings and fires a beam at the bandits. The beam hits some of them while Fung and Gahri barely dodge the attack. The young man didn't waste time flying towards the small crocodile and grabs him by the throat before lifting him up in the air and slams him against the floor. Fung quickly spun his tail to slam Leo, but the human caught the tail with one and Leo slammed him against the ground before delivering a hard palm strike.
Wong and Wall Eye was coming towards Leo. Leo grabs the injured bandit and threw the water buffalo towards Wall Eye. He quickly turns around to block every punch from Wong. Leo caught his punch and twisted Wong's wrist hard before spinning him around threw him in the wall, breaking his arm in the progress.
Leo jumped over Wong to dodge his grab easily. The croc tried to do a roundhouse kick, but Leo did a hard strong axe kick downward to Wong's roundhouse kick, breaking the croc's ankle. He didn't let the croc fell and delivered several hard jabs to the stomach, followed by a strong uppercut. Leo fired a beam that hits Gahri's arm, causing him to yell in pain. The croc was slammed into the wall from the wind.
Fung gasps in shocked of what he saw. The human turns around and glares at the leader angrily. Leo jumps into the air and fires another orange beam at Fung. The croc was hit in the shoulder and the foot before he even had a chance to run. Leo dives to him and kicks him in the stomach, followed by a backflip kick to the jaw that sent him flying. He appears above the croc's chest and sent fast flurries of punches on the way down, creating a dust cloud and a painful sound.
The dust cloud settled. In the middle of the arena was Fung laying on his back with Leo standing over the injured croc.
"Hah... Hah..." Leo panted. "Now... did you or your fucking bandits went into my room?"
"What- what...? No, w-"
"Don't fucking lie!" Leo yelled at him angrily. He leans in close to the croc bandit. "I will tear out your heart if you're fucking lying." He grabs Fung's helmet and held it to his waist, ready to impale the croc. But instead, Leo dropped the helmet and walks a few feet away from the croc. "Justice, never vengeance. Justice, never vengeance." Leo said his mantra. "Justice, never vengeance. Justice, never vengeance."
He slowly turns around to see the injured crocs that were still conscious or out cold. His fiery wings disappeared. Leo hears the doors opening behind him. He looks over his shoulder to Master Jia, Po and The Furious Five standing there with surprised looks on their faces.
"What the hell happened here?!" Crane exclaims.
"And who's that water buffalo bandit over there?" Monkey points at injured water buffalo.
"Leo?" Po looks at the young man.
All eyes were on Leo now. Leo folded his arms before speaking. "The only reason why the croc bandits have gotten better... was because of him." He points at the small master. "Am I correct, Master Jia, or I should say Master Shifu?"
Jia, or Shifu in this case, removes his mask. It shocked everyone, except Leo.
"Shifu was Jia?"
"I should've seen that one coming." Tigress shook her head.
Fung sat up, groaning in pain as he rubs the back of his head. "I feel like we've been used, dammit."
"How did you know it was me, Leo?" Shifu looks at him.
"I saw you last night taking the mask off, and the scroll does contain the seal of the emperor, but with your handwriting." Leo answered without hesitation. "Once I found out you planned this, I came here to kick these croc's asses."
"More like injure." Monkey whispers to Crane.
Shifu looks at Po. "Po, I had to go take some extremes, but I think I finally got you to understand the true importance of training."
"You sure have, Master." Po smiled. "We should get Fung and his croc bandits to a hospital."
As The Furious Five was bringing the bandits to the hospital, Po and Shifu were walking to the Dragon Grotto to talk to Leo. They approached the carven and saw Leo standing near the pool, looking down at his reflection.
"Justice, never vengeance." The master and the Dragon Warrior heard Leo say. "Justice, never vengeance."
"Leo?" Po and Shifu approached him.
Leo turns to them. "Master Shifu. Dragon Warrior."
"We need to talk, Leo." Shifu places his hands behind him. "Why didn't you join training when I put Po in charge for the past few days?"
"Because the last time, Po had The Furious Five go through that ridiculous training Junjie had him do when Junjie was disguising himself as Oogway." Leo folded his arms. "That's why I had to train by myself this past week so I wouldn't join Po's so-called training."
"I know, but you have to understand, Leo. One day, Po will take on the role of being a teacher one day and you will have an excellent master to train you." Shifu said.
"Yes, master."
"And also, why did you say "Justice, never vengeance"?" Shifu asked with curiosity.
"Something I have to remind myself everyday. That's all." Leo said. "I didn't want to go too far since..."
"Since?"
"Never mind." Leo shook his head. "Look the reason for that mantra is I don't have to be in the mind of a killer."
"Very well then. But since you didn't join them for training for a week, you will clean the Hall Of Warriors this week by yourself." Shifu said.
"As you wish, Master."
Shifu left the carven, leaving Leo and Po.
"Aren't you going to leave and do whatever you want?" Leo asked Po.
"I was wondering if you've seen the mercenary this past week."
"Not yet. But Shifu is not the only one who's keeping secrets."
"Leo, I've been thinking about this secret that I'd promise you. The one that we can't tell th-"
"We're not... going to tell them yet." Leo said to him. "Once I get this figured out, then we'll tell them."
"Fine. But Leo, if you can't figure this out, then I have to tell Shifu and The Furious Five about this because they deserve to know. But where's the honor for not telling them about you being as the Black Spirit and this mercenary?"
"Let's just say, I'd rather do this alone like I did before." Leo walks by him to the entrance of the carven and stood there with arms crossed. "That way, no one will die."
"Hm." Po sighs and walks up behind him and place a hand on Leo's shoulder. "There's nothing wrong telling us these things. I know you spend your time in the library and just wanting to learn new things, but is there something else that you're not saying?"
"I'm not keeping another secret, Po. That's all."
"If you say so." Po replied before walking away, looking at Leo and almost bumped into Tigress. "Sorry I almost bumped into you."
"It's okay." Tigress said. "Have you seen Leo?" Po pointed behind him and walks away. The feline approached him. "Leo."
"Tigress?" Leo turns his head to her. "What do you want?"
"About you and Crow." Tigress replied. "I overheard you when I felt your hand stroking against my cheek. You avoided all of us this week. Are you cheating on me?"
"I'm not cheating on you, Tigress. The reason why Crow had nightmares was because of her father. I still remember how the tower first shook. Panther, Sheila and I calmed Crow the first night she had a nightmare. After the others left, I stayed behind so she could tell me about her nightmares. But she also suggested me to stay with her for the night, strictly professional. Because I know firsthand the threat Draco posed and what would happen if he escaped from his imprisonment. I was only looking out for Crow as a teammate and a friend." Leo said. "And I really wanted to sleep on the floor that night, but I ended up sleeping on her bed."
"So, nothing happened between you two?" Tigress asked him.
"No." Leo shook his head. "It was a little... awkward at first and uncomfortable, but we both got over it."
"Alright then." Tigress nodded her head. "I just wanted to be sure. When did this happen? Eighteen years old?"
"Fifteen years old, to be exact." Leo said to her.
The feline's eyes went wide with shocked and her mouth opened. Leo and Crow slept in the same bed when they were fifteen?!
"What?!" She gasps.
"After that night, Crow started having nightmares that happens every few weeks. Me and the rest of the team helped her calm down from those nightmares. Sometimes I would ask her if she wants me to stay in her room in case something happened. I would be sleeping on the floor in a lotus position or sezia position so we wouldn't sleep in the same bed. And sometimes Crow would want me to be with her." Leo pause for a moment before he resumes talking again. "Her nightmares did went after four months, which was good, but they do come in randomly during the middle of a month."
"I'm glad that you and Crimson Dusks was looking out for her."
"It's fine. But!" Leo glares at her. "I'm still mad at you and the rest of the Five for going to do Po's training he had set up last week. The five of you should've known better. It's best that we don't talk to each other for a few days and that goes to the rest of the Five as well."
With that being said and done, Leo left the carven, leaving Tigress standing at the entrance with a shocked and surprised expression on her face.
Author's Note: Things really did got interesting. The nightmare that continues to haunt Leo had made him a little sick. Not only, that Tigress had learned Leo lied to her of why he stood her up that night, but not only that, she even learned Leo and Crow slept together when they were fifteen because Crow was having nightmares that was being caused by her father. Leo made sure not overstep his boundaries. And even Po thinks Shifu and the Five should know about this secret. But Po thinks there's another reason why Leo spends his time in the library.
