Tai Lung!

(The image showed Tai Lung in the Spirit Realm watching with a grin on his face as Kai, Lord Shen and a few other residents of the afterlife playing jump rope using the Chameleon's tongue as the rope, much to her utter humiliation.)

"It has been quite a while since the panda and his successor defeated the Chameleon and returned my and the other's kung fu. After we returned bid our farewell to Po and took the Chameleon back with us as we returned home. We made sure the lizard got what she deserved for what she did. It was peaceful."

(The image showed Tai Lung being encased in a strange kind of magical glow. Before he can process what was happening, he felt himself vanish from the spirit realm.)

"Suddenly, I felt myself getting transported away from the Spirit Realm... again. It kind of reminded me of how the Chameleon did it for her master plan when she opened up portals to the Spirit Realm. But it wasn't the Chamaeleon this time. It was something else."

(The image then showed the snow leopard appearing in front of Sauron and his army.)

"Eventually, I found myself in an area that I was unfamiliar with. I quickly figured out that I was in a whole new world altogether since I was seeing creatures that I have not seen before. Much to my chagrin, I found myself being offered a chance to join the Dark Lord Sauron's army. Just like Chameleon, talk about a case of Deja vu."

(The image showed Tai Lung fighting against Sauron's forces as he was trying to escape from the Dark Lord's castle.)

"It was a tempting offer, but I refused as he had nothing to offer me and I felt that the strange inhabitants of this new world were inferior to my skills, so I saw no reason to draft myself into his war if I was going to be bored fighting weaklings, so I demanded to be returned to the Spirit Realm. The fool refused and first he tried to dominate my mind since I was still a Spirit Warrior, but I served no one. After I broke free from that tactic, he then sent his minions to take me down. However, thanks to my many years of training in kung fu by Master Shifu, I managed to escape from the castle... but just barely."

(The image showed a scarred Tai Lung who had a few cuts on his body, escaping into a forest at night where he ends up running into the Smeagol the Gollum and the two Hobbits, Sam and Frodo, who were resting at a campfire for the night and were shocked at his appearance.)

"After I escaped from Sauron, I had nowhere to go so I ran for my life, hoping to find some semblance of safety so I can heal up. Eventually, I settle down at a campfire that was made by 2 strange creatures called "Hobbits" and another strange creature called "Gollum". I was surprised these three were out here at this time, but I didn't judge given my own battered appearance. After resting for the night, we told each other our respective backstories and soon I found myself being the unofficial bodyguard of these three as we journeyed to a location called Mount Doom for the same objective but for different reasons."

(The next few images showed the four at Mount Doom, showed Tai Lung using his nerve paralyzing attack on Gollum much to the surprise of the Hobbits and Tai Lung, Sam and Frodo entering the core of the mountain.)

"However, as we scaled the mountain, I had my suspicions about the Gollum which I was right to be since when we reached the entrance of the mountain, he tried to take the ring from Frodo. Thankfully my heightened senses picked up the freak's attempts to take the ring from the first lunge he tried to do. So, after I paralyzed him, the three of us left him behind, we entered the mountain ready to end this whole conflict for good."

(The next image showed Sauron appearing at the core of Mount Doom as Tai Lung lunged toward him while Sam tried to help Frodo toss the ring into fire.)

Just when I thought that it was finally going to be over, Sauron managed to appear in the same place we were going. To make things worse was that the Hobbit Frodo was slowly being corrupted by the ring's influence, so the other Hobbit Sam tried to talk him down while I handle the Dark Lord one-on-one.

(The next image showed Tai Lung with his paws set ablaze breaking Sauron's mace before paralyzing Sauron's body.)

"Even without the ring, the Dark Lord was quite the opponent with his many types of sorcery and in my opinion, put up a much better fight that cowardly lizard that stole my kung fu."

(The next image showed Sauron's body disappearing.)

"The next thing I knew, Sauron's body had completely vanished right before my eyes. Looks like Sam and Frodo managed to destroy Sauron's ring after all. Talk about a close call."

(The next image showed Gandalf showing up and using his magic to save Tai Lung, Frodo and Sam from the collapsing lair.)

"With our mission completed, a strange magic user named Gandalf teleported the three of us out of the crumbling mountain. He expressed his gratitude for us for saving the world and while the Hobbits reunited with their friends, I requested to return back to the Spirit Realm."

(The image showed Gandalf using his staff's magic to send Tai Lung back to the Spirit Realm.)

"So, he did so. Before I knew it, I was teleported away from that universe and back into the golden clouds and peaceful nature of the Spirit Realm. It was great to be back."
