The Panda And The Peacock (Still Open)

"Believe it or not, Goman City." He replied.

"Cool, so we do get to help Mom and Dad kick Shen' s butt!" The Twins Cheered.

Mei was utterly shocked. "Shen is a dangerous foe. He almost killed the father of the Dragon Warrior, and I'm sure he's going to do much more when he finds out that he is going to be challenged," she said to Tai Lung before turning to the twins. "Listen carefully, you two. I want you to stay very close to me. We don't know exactly what's going to happen here," she said.

"The Peacock is a cowardly fool. He feared a warrior of black and white would defeat him. So he slaughtered a village of Panda's. His true strength is his weapon and his warriors. He is trained in Kung-Fu, but not to the degree you, I, or The Panda are." He said.

"How do you know all this?" Long asked suspiciously.

Tai-Lung Smirked. "Because He tried to recruit me. I would've killed him then and there, but he was not worth my time or effort. Besides the Soothsayer who tended to me after my Battle with the Panda made me vow not to kill The Peacock." Tai-Lung Replied. "Another destiny the Panda stole from me." He sighed, his attempt at a Joke.

"That 'Panda' as you call him is Our Dad." The twins said defensively.

Tai- Lung turned to Mei. " I'll Take the Twins and catch up to The 'Dragon warrior'." He said, clearly still coming to terms with PO being the dragon warrior. "Why take us?" Jong asked.

Tai-lung rolled his eyes. "Because They won't believe me otherwise, also Mei-Ling needs to see to the Villagers, and I still terrify them." He said as the villagers backed away. "See?" He asked as the Twins nodded.

Mei Ling sighed. "Very well, but I doubt their parents would be very pleased to see you. You should probably tell them that I didn't abandon my duty of watching over them and that it was your idea. Also, you should explain that the Valley is gone," she stated.

Meanwhile, Po's peaceful sleep was interrupted by a nightmare of the strange symbol and the burning village. He awoke with a gasp. The motion and sudden noise also had the effect of waking up Tigress. Po looked at her. "I'm sorry. I had that vision again. I saw the symbol and the burning village. I'm sorry for waking you up," he told her.

Tai Lung nodded as he motioned for the twins to follow him.

Tigress was breathing heavy, She had just woke up from a horrible nightmare." PO, I saw the valley, the village, the Jade Palace. All burned to the ground." She said, her 'Hardcore' exterior was gone as she hugged her husband tightly.

[KingKovu44]

Po looked into her eyes. "No! Not the Valley and The Jade Palace!" he exclaimed, holding Tigress tightly as if his warm grasp could make the memory end. He took a deep breath, calming himself. "I hope it's just a dream and not real," he said to her.

[Sixshot1988]

Tigress started to feel a little better. "I hope your right PO, I don't know what I'd do if we lost our home, Jong, Long, and everyone else." She sobbed.

[KingKovu44]

Po continued to hold Tigress close. He almost never saw Tigress cry, and it saddened him to see it happening. "Shhh. It was a dream. We have no evidence that it really happened. For all we know, everything is just as we left it," he told her.

[Sixshot1988]

Tigress smiled as she started to feel better. Just then it started to rain and storm heavily. "Looks like we'll be here for a while." She smiled.

[KingKovu44]

Po nodded. "Well, as long as we have each other, we'll be fine. I guess we can talk about our plans for the future. I guess we'll be helping to rebuild the valley and fighting evil-doers, just like we've always done," he said. He then thought about their past for a moment. "I still remember the day I told you how I felt about you," he said, kissing her paw as he remembered the day they went from cubhood friends to a couple.
