Panda's Firework Fists of Flaming Doom
Sly and Catra arrived at the two large firework rockets that is for their fun ride all the way to the Panda King and to battle him for the freedom of the town, and cool down that panda with the hot temper of a firework of a whole festival of them.
"You ready?" Sly asked.
"Ready to cool down this guy's firework show." Catra answered with a smirk.
"Nice one." Sly impressed with that pun.
The two Coopers got on the rockets with the fuel rope being lit taking about three to four seconds for the spark to get in, and the rocket burst flame flying off along with the thieves though the ride wasn't straight as the rockets kept wiggling around though it was like a fun roller coaster ride to them.
"Get ready, passengers because we're about to make our landing with a bang!" Catra acted as a flight attendant.
Her words came true when they crash through the roof of the Panda King's hideout, and they jump inside, surprisingly coming out unharmed from that ride.
"I can't believe we survived that." Catra surprised of that.
"Trust me, me and the boys have survived plenty of dangerous things that no normal folks would walk away from, not without going to the hospital." Sly bragged.
"Guess all the surviving on that island paid off too." Catra smiled.
"Hmm, how interesting." A low and calm voice said getting their attention.
The one and only Panda King is standing in the middle of the room on top of what appears to be a stage or something, and the panda man himself is looking down at the thieves was he wasn't expecting one of them to be a little child though he does recognize the cane Sly holds.
"I see you carry the cane of the notorious Cooper Thief clan. Have you come here for revenge? To steal back the Thievious Raccoonus?" Panda King asked.
"That was the plan at first, but now we're more interested in putting an end to your avalanche extortion racket." Sly answered with a slight glare.
"Why should you care if I burry a few worthless villages in snow? You are a thief just like me." Panda King pointed out.
This got Catra upon hearing those words, this guy thinks he and her dad are the same thieves, but she knew better upon her time with him and the Cooper Gang.
"No way in Hell is my dad ever like you! He's a better thief because he has honor to never steal nor harm the weak, unless it's for harmless pranking, and he certainly doesn't let his anger explode like some lousy fireworks that was made by a loser." Catra stands up for Sly and insults.
"Insolent disrespectful child, you will pay dearly for those words." Panda King angered at Catra but calm himself down a little.
"But I am surprised to see that the Son of the Cooper Clan has a child of his own even though he is still young himself." Panda King admitted.
"I guess you could say we were brought to each other by fate and now I want to do everything I can to help Catra live a good life not only as a Cooper Clan member, but as a father being proud of his daughter." Sly determined strongly.
"Even though we're not related by blood, the bond we share is strong than any blood and that is what's going to help us through this journey of avenging the Cooper name and keep starting a new!" Catra determined as well with holding Sly's hand.
Panda King looks at both Sly and the cat girl standing together strong as father and daughter despite having no blood relation to each other, seeing the fire within their eyes and felt truth from every word coming out of their mouths. This is bringing up a small warm feeling inside his heart and memories, memories of his own daughter and how much he loves her, wanting to protect her.
"I see, you both have strong will and bond for each other. It has moved my very heart." Panda King confessed.
"There for, I shall honor your bond and your Cooper Ancestry by allowing you to take back the pages I have took should you defeat me in battle, come at me with full strength combine." Panda King gestured his hand to "Bring it on" as he ready himself.
"No need to tell us twice." Catra said.
"Yeah, I we just finish with the talking." Sly nodded twirling his cane around before getting into his fighting stance.
"Then I shall show you the beauty of my new firework technique: Flame-Fu." Panda King ignited his hands into flames.
"Okay, didn't see that coming." Catra surprise.
"But you're the one who's about to feel the burn!" Catra proclaimed as she twirls her cane and charges at the Panda King along with Sly.
Catra jumps high by a smack on the floor with her cane to give her some air for an attack from above which the Panda King blocks with his arm, he pushes her back only to be caught from Sly connecting the hook part of their canes and throwing her back at the Panda King.
This surprises the Panda King a bit as he blocks the attack again though Catra was prepared for that as she pushes herself down to strike at the belly and Sly comes for a flying kick on one arm to knock the panda man off balance for a moment. That moment is what Sly needs as he quickly swung his cane at the cane hoping to knock him down.
However, the Panda King move one foot back to keep himself from fall backward.
"Such teamwork and trust, I'm impressed." Panda King flipped backward to get back on her feet.
"Show me more!" Panda King charged at the thieves.
Panda King's hands burst into flames again as he jumps high and reel one arm back for a flaming karate chop toward Sly.
"Boom Being Chop!" Panda King threw the karate chop as Sly jumps out of the way and the attack causes cracks to appear from the impact.
"Well, that's one way to burn some pounds away." Sly commented.
Panda King comes at Sly with some flaming hand attacks forcing the raccoon young man to dodge them while moving backwards and Catra quickly runs up to attack the white and black foe from behind, but he saw this coming and perform a backhand swing attack though Catra slides under the large arm and hook in it with her cane.
"Hope you don't mind me "sticking" around." Catra punned before she struck Panda King on the side of his face.
Sly comes in with a sliding of his own and hook onto his foot with his cane to pull the foot up making the Panda King fall face-first to the floor, but he wouldn't stay down for long as he pushes himself up in the air.
"Eruption Wave!" Panda King struck the floor with both hands causing two rings of small fiery wave to ripple through the floor.
Catra and Sly quickly jump over those fire rings as the latter jumps forward fast for a triple combo strike on the Panda King just when he got on his feet again.
"You strike swift but lacking in strength." Panda King grabbed the cane with one hand.
"Maybe so…" Sly jumped his legs up to hang onto his cane in Panda King's hand and threw a double high kick at the chin forcing him back.
"But we always have strength in different ways." Sly smirked.
Sly charges at Panda King striking him with his cane on one side along with Catra quickly joining the assault attacking from the other side, Panda King does his best to block each strike and jump over the pair getting right behind him.
"Fiery Wheel!" Panda King performed a spin on the floor with his flaming hand outward.
Sly and Catra weren't able to dodge the attack on time as they are knocked into the air and spinning a little fast, and they fell on the floor though they quickly got themselves back up only to find the tip of their tails being on fire and they panic quickly putting out the fire.
And the Panda King patiently wait for them to take out the fire.
"Dude, do you have any idea of how long it takes to regrow some fur?" Catra complained.
"Take this as a lesson to react faster and be aware of what your enemies will do next." Panda King advised.
"Yeah, we'll be sure to remember that." Sly said sarcastically and rolling his eyes.
Sly and Catra charges at the panda madman to attack together again though Panda King was expecting this and ready to unleash another of his fiery technique upon them.
"Hum of Thunder!" Panda King threw down both hands to slam on both Coopers.
However, Sly and Catra were able to see this coming the moment the Panda King raises those hands and immediately stop themselves just in time when the hands came onto the floor, that's when they jump at the head for a double strike on the face and attack the belly.
"You will not get me so easily!" Panda King groaned in angry.
He leaps forward for a belly attack that bounces the two Coopers away and down at the bottom of those stairs.
"Star Fall!" Panda King threw some fireballs down at the Coppers.
Sly and Catra dodges them while moving around and making up back to the Panda King though Catra got herself an idea.
"Hey, Panda Queen! Incoming!" Catra shouted as she "jumped" at him.
"Announcing yourself is a foolish move." Panda King scolded as he threw another fireball at Catra seemly catching her on fire.
"Catra!" Sly screamed in fear.
"Do not worry, I held back my fire to only give her some slight burn marks." Panda King explained before suddenly feeling something hit his head and something clutching onto his back.
"Aw, that was nice of you." Catra smirked, showing herself to be onto his back.
"What? But how? I burned you." Panda King confused greatly.
"Try taking another look at what you hit." Catra said.
Panda King and Sly look the object that thought to be Catra getting caught by the fireball turned out to be one of the small statues, Catra used that statue as a direction to get the Panda King thinking he hit her while she sneaks around to his back and got on.
"You never even notice I was climbing up your back, talk back too much in the zone." Catra laughed.
Catra whack her cane on the Panda King's head several times before deciding the panda ride is over and jumps off and Sly comes in with a hard attack on the head forcing him back.
"Had enough yet?" Sly asked.
"Not yet, I still have yet to show you what I'm truly capable of." Panda King said thought panting.
"I don't know, it looks to me like you're about done." Catra smirked.
"Yeah, think it's time for you to take a nap." Sly smirked as well.
The two Cooper tap their canes together before running at the Panda King one last time as the crime boss himself for ready for this.
Sly twirl his cane and made a fast swift that Panda King blocks, but Catra came out from behind her dad and thrust her cane onto the stomach forcing him back a little. Then the two did an attack each one for the Panda King, taking turns pushing him back and delivering some damage to the large round bear.
Catra and Sly nod at each other before delivering a punch together right at the face knocking down the Panda King with his back against the floor, and now he can no longer get back up for all the energy within him has been used up entirely.
"Your skills with the canes and working together in harmony, such is the bond of father and daughter." Panda King complimented.
"As promise, you may take the pages back and do not worry, I will turn myself in to the police to atone for my sins." Panda King promised.
"Okay, didn't think we met a villain who now see the error of his ways." Catra surprised.
"Yeah, this is a first for me too." Sly said.
"My only regret was not being a kind father for my own daughter. I love her dearly, but I could not walk away from the criminal life I had consume myself in." Panda King said sadden.
"There's always a chance for you to walk away." Catra believed.
"Perhaps you are right, and I was foolish to not take that chance." Panda King admitted before going unconscious.
"Hey Catra, Sly! You'll never believe what me and father did while you were fighting the Panda King." Entrapta sounded exciting a bit.
"Trying to beat each other in an online card game?" Catra guessed.
"No, we did a cross analysis of the metal use in that high tech blasting vehicle you two rode on earlier and it turns out it can only in one place – the KrackKarov volcano in Russia. That's got to be where we'll find the fifth member of the Fiendish Five." Bentley said.
"That means we're nearly there, the end of this journey to avenge the Cooper and grandpa." Catra realized shock.
"That's right, better finish up on your end and head back to the van so we can get out of here." Entrapta nodded.
Catra and Sly hurry to the vault getting what appears to be the next section of the Thievius Raccoonus which the cat girl gets really excited.
Sly: Retrieving the panicking section of the Thievius Raccoonus gave us the chance to learn about our technically minded ancestor, Otto van Cooper.
The two see a picture of Otto van Cooper along with some machine pictures such as blueprints for a plane and other things he made.
Catra: Doesn't seem like the guy is much upon looking at him, but I soon changed my mind when I saw that he's a mechanic genius with the designs for the vehicles and weapons to help defend himself. He also has a thing for planes too.
Sly: I believe his designs will help modify the van to help us in our next adventure, and I'm sure Murray wouldn't mind as he loves to see the van look cooler.
The next scene shows Carmelita and Adora looking at the unconscious Panda King being taken away by the police though had an odd smile on his face, then Adora notice something on the Panda King and took to see it's a Cooper calling card as she shows this to Carmelita making her smile.
Sly: Nice to see that Carmelita isn't trying to look for us this time while taking the Panda King behind bars. Nice work on getting through to her, Cata.
Sly and Catra are seen hiding in the snowy trees watching the police doing their job at the scene and smile at each other for a moment before sneaking their way back to the Cooper van.
Catra: I was just trying to help mom see the bigger picture of what has been going around her and wanted to help her more with the evidence I gave her and believe she is a good cop. And now the people in the mountains can live peaceful with no sudden firework disturbance.
The Cooper Gang are now scene riding on a manpower two-wheel cart with Murray doing the pulling and driving with Sly and Catra riding up top, Catra managed to swap a banana and fish from one food stance without the shopkeeper even realizing.
Sly: Gang and I decided to take some time off in Hong Kong, enjoying the town and the lively mood. Not to mention Catra seems to be getting better with her fast hands.
Catra: I learned from the best, and I'll need to be at my best for when we finally go face the big boss of the Fiendish Five and put them down once and for all.
Catra and Sly are looking up at the night sky with serious and determination in their eyes for the final battle is coming soon.
