Chapter Three: Prankster Unleashed

"So, how did you guys enjoy the story?" Tigress asked to the little bunnies and geese. They all responded with choruses of 'awesome' and 'cool', which she thought only Po, who has that kind of vocabulary, "Alright, I've been telling you guys about myself and Master Viper," she said as she mentioned Viper

As if on cue, Po continued for her, "And now, it's Monkey time! Uh-uh-ah-ah!" he stood and dancing around in his Monkey's pose while scratching his back. The giant panda leaped on to the table, jump on to the roof and hanging upside down with his legs. Everyone stared at him, with dumbfounded looks on their face, all except Mantis.

"Wow, he made a better monkey that you've ever been," he said mentioned at Monkey who gave him his annoyed glare. The roof, which Po hanging on to suddenly cracked because of his weight. Startled, Po slipped and landed on the ground, bounced on his belly one time before landed flat on his back.

"Oww," Po groaned as he rubbed the sore spot on the back of his head. He looked up to see everyone stared at him with weird stares, Viper was wide-eyed, Crane jaw dropped… again, Tigress and Monkey both gawking. Only Mantis that looked annoyed

"I stand corrected," he grumbled, he hated it when he was wrong. Po grinned sheepishly at the look everyone gave him

"What? I'm just trying to impersonate Monkey…," he said defensively while he looked down and twiddling his finger.

"And I'm pretty sure that I never fell down the roof," Monkey replied, the rest gained composure and started laughing. The expression he made afterwards was very funny it even made Tigress laughed, "Aww, give me a break! Like you never slipped on anything before," he defended himself by making a strong point

"Touché," Monkey winced, remembered his young memory as he accepted Po's point

"Monkey slipped? Wow, I wanna hear it!" one of the bunny shouted.

"Oh, and I also wanna hear the time when monkey got his wedg-"Po shouted excitedly, pumped fist in the air, but he was stopped short by a rock that Monkey threw to his head, "Ah-ha-ow!" he yelped and rubbed his head, again, "Do you have to do that?" Po protested

"If that means stopping you for embarrassing me more then, yes!" Monkey replied with rather angry face. Mantis raised his eyebrows, he never seen his partner angry, so he was sure this is an act. He was assured more when Monkey winked at him mischievously.

Po stood up and babbled at him, "If that the way you tried to silenced me, guess what? That ain't working. You need more than a-" he trailed off as Tigress and Viper both called him

"Po!" they called at the same time, with a stern tone

"What?" he turned to them, his facial expression show how annoyed he was by Monkey's sudden strike

"He's just playing!" Viper explained to him. She looked at Tigress for support and Tigress nodded toward Po, assured him. It took a while for him to sink in, but he doubt what they said were true. However, when he saw Mantis's face bubbled because of holding his laughter, and playful look on Monkey's eyes he recognized immediately that he was being played… again

"Aww…man! Not again," he muttered while dropped into his chair. Mantis and Monkey fell into a hysterical laugh. Literally dropped from where they were before from laughing so hard, both have tears on their eyes and clutched their stomach. Po's face dropped into a straight frown, while Crane and Viper laughed as well, though not as loud as Monkey and Mantis. The children chuckled among themselves while Tigress… well, she smirked at Po in amusement

"Don't worry Po, you'll get used to it after a couple more of that," she teased with a grin. The small she-bunny on her lap giggled as some other grinned eye to eye. Po grumbled, he knew this wouldn't be the last time they did it, o h jut grumbled quietly and sat in the corner.

"Okay…" Tigress regain the attention of the kids, "Let's continue shall we?"

It was exactly a year after Viper's arrival we quickly became as close as sisters did. We watched each other's back, protect each other from trouble even if it's means a constant punishment from Mater Shifu. We were training in the training hall; I was meditating in the corner while Viper trained on the Wooden Warriors…

"Hiya!" Viper shouted while dodging and hit the wooden warriors simultaneously with her tail and the base of her long body. Then he dodged and hit some more, it's like a sequence, dodge, twirl, hit, it's like dancing if you saw it closely. She trained for a good few more minutes before she stopped, and slither her way to Tigress who looked like she was meditating. The word looked like was the key word, when Viper close enough to her, she heard her snoring lightly. She giggled; Tigress can be a bit clumsy sometimes when it comes to meditating.

"Tigress!" her voice was low, but it's loud enough to woke up the sleeping tiger.

"Huh? Wha-?" she snapped her eyes open, startled and still a bit dazed and unfocused not aware of her surroundings. It took a moment for her for her vision to cleared out and saw Viper staring at her, "What?" she asked somewhat annoyed, she hated it when someone interrupted their meditation or in this case, her catnap.

"Tigress, you supposed to be meditating! Not sleeping," Viper said with an amused smirk on her face

"Was I that obvious?" Tigress wondered aloud, receiving a sigh from Viper as she rolled her eyes

"Yes, yes it was. You were snoring!" she pointed out, pointing her tail at Tigress as an accusation.

"Y-yeah, sorry," She apologized sheepishly, her head lowered and ear dropped, "You wouldn't tell Master Shifu, right?" she asked, terrified of whatever speech or punishment her Master/Father will do if he find out.

"Nah, why would I? Besides, we are sisters right? We watched each other's back," Viper assured her

"Yeah," she agreed and they chuckled at each other. A minute later, the afternoon gong rang, indicated that it was lunchtime already. They made their way out of the training hall and to the student's kitchen. What was shocked them was their masters already waited for them in the kitchen. They shocked to see Master Shifu and Master Oogway sat in the kitchen and for their surprise, there was a primate with them, sat just beside Master Oogway.

"What…err, I mean… who is that?" Tigress asked, bewildered. Viper just as shocked as Tigress, it's very rare that guests came to the jade palace beside other kung-fu masters, let alone a teenager

"He's our new recruit," Oogway simply said, chuckled at the shocked, gaped expression those two girls have in their face.

"What's your name?" Viper asked him, her voice was calm but in the inside, she was nervous. Her encounter with a gorilla bandit that beat up her dad leaved her always cautious to any other type of primate.

"The name my birth parents gave me was Jen Hu. But people on the streets jut called me Monkey," the golden lemur simply replied, with a mischievous smile on his face. Something about that smile, made both girls felt a bit uneasy.

"He will be trained with you from now on. His room will be one to the left across your room Viper," Shifu explained to them. Tigress just stood there, not knowing what to say or how to respond. In all of her life, she never met a small primate before and certainly not a boy. Then something clicked in Tigress's head

"Wait; did you say people on the streets that called you Monkey? What's with that?" she asked. Oogway and Shifu chuckled lightly at Tigress observant attitude. Beside Viper, she rarely missed any detail.

"Oh yeah, right… I'm not living with my parents anymore. After they gone, I lived alone at the streets," Monkey explained

"Gone? What do you mean they're gone?" she asked again. At first she thought that his parents was moving away. But his emphasis on gone suddenly struck her hard as her eyes widened in a realization, "Wait, did you mean gone as in… gone?" she asked cautiously

"Sadly, yes," Monkey replied, his smirk gone from his face

"Oh, s-sorry," Tigress lowered her head shamefully. She just asked a question of a passed away family, she felt horrible

"Nah, don't be. Past is the past," Monkey replied, his smile appeared back on his face as he eyed Tigress closely. Tigress and Viper sat down and enjoyed the lunch they were having. Viper ate a few dumplings while Tigress ate her tofu. Monkey was genuinely confused; she was a tiger, which mean a carnivore, which mean she would consider him as a prey. Monkey couldn't hold his curiosity on this one.

"Tell me, do you eat other animals?" Monkey suddenly asked. Tigress suddenly chocked at her tofu in surprise. She breathed heavily upon hearing Monkey's question. However, Master Oogway who whacked him on top of his head to defend Tigress from Monkey's thoughtful outburst, "Ow! What did I do?" Monkey protested, Oogway eyed him sternly, a clear sign that he want Monkey to shut up.

"It's okay master. I don't eat other animals because I'm a vegetarian," Tigress answered softly

"No…" Monkey said sarcastically. Not a smart move, he got another whack, but this time it was from Shifu's flute.

"It's true! I never wanted to hurt people, I scared them enough already so I'm a vegetarian," Tigress countered. She felt a bit overwhelmed by the memories of Bao Gu where everybody scared of her, but she hid that well.

"So… does that mean I'm safe here? No threat of being eaten and all?" Monkey asked again, and he got another hard whack from Viper, "Ow! What's with people and whacking here?" Monkey asked frustrated, Viper rolled her eyes. Boy, this primate never learned.

"She said that she is a vegetarian, was that not good enough for you?" Viper asked, angry at the primate for being stubbornly stupid

"Okay! Sorry… Geez, your tail is hard," Monkey rubbed his head. After a few minutes later, Zeng burst into the kitchen, just about when lunch is finished.

"Master Shifu! Boar Bandits attacking the village at Mr. Ping's noodle shop!" Zeng panted breathlessly. He always does when he was panic.

"Very well, Tigress, Monkey, Viper, you three is up. And Monkey, this is also a test so I can figured out what level are you," Shifu ordered as Tigress and Viper bowed before they ran off.

"Wait, what?" Monkey asked, bewildered. First day at the Jade Palace, and he was ordered to fight bandits, "I can't just go down there and fight bandits!" he protested

"Ah, Monkey… I see you have doubted yourself. Did you honestly think that the bandits are stronger than the guards you've beaten at the valley?" Oogway asked. Monkey got his point; he did have no trouble with them. He just did what he do best, field prank.

"Okay Master Oogway. Thank you for your advice," Monkey said before he ran off after the two girls.

Tigress and Viper arrived at the scene, and both of them were completely stunned at what they saw at the restaurant. Despite the running pigs, bunnies, and gooses, there's a single goose dressed in restaurant outfit and defending the restaurant, but to no avail. What was shocked Tigress most was a kid panda, holding a knife skillfully to scratch each one of them with it. However, his effort was useless after one of the boar got a hold of him at the scruff of his neck.

"Let go of me! Get away from me and my dad!" the young panda yelled, swinging his kitchen knife around. Mr. Ping tried to reach his son but his attempt blocked by more boars. Tigress and Viper just gawked at the scene, what freak Viper most that the dad was a geese and his son was a panda.

"Hey, you two little girls! Why don't you just get out of here? Restaurant closed today," A boar with the biggest horn, growled at them, judging by his superiority he was probably the leader. However, Tigress never tolerate when she was called little girl.

"Who's you're calling little girl, pig?" Tigress snarled, showing her teeth.

"Whoa! Is that how people educate nice girl these day?" He responded, his tone mocked. Tigress had enough; she sprung forward and attacked the boars. Viper followed her afterwards.

Tigress spun in the air and did split between two boars, cracking their face with her feet. Then she grabbed an oncoming boar and threw him to the other. Viper coiled up on one boar and completely controlled his body; she make the boar attacked his comrades. The leader of the boar suddenly whistled and more boars appeared from behind the walls and start to attack Viper and Tigress, even both of them were skilled enough to take them, they were greatly outnumbered. One of the boars managed to knock Tigress with his club, and the rest of them take a hold of her, dangling her to the roof. Moreover, they coiled Viper on a pole and tied her there.

"You girls have been such a burden, I have no choice but get rid of you," the leader said. Then suddenly he heard a sharp cry from his men and turned around to saw two of them… pantless.

"Looking for these?" suddenly a voice came from the kitchen counter, on there stood Monkey holding out a pair of pants. All of them turned looked at him, including the panda, Tigress and Viper. Tigress and Viper both have their incredulous and disgusted looks on their face, while the panda holding out laughter.

"So tell me, did you guys have laundries or you steal pants every month? Cause let me tell ya, this pants smell," He leaned casually against the wall while eating banana. Two of the board enraged and sprung forward to attack him, but they slipped on a banana skin instead. Monkey laughed at that, "Man, that never gets old," then the rest of the boar charged.

Monkey leaped into the air and shot banana in every direction, hitting them in the face, temporarily blinded them. Then, he grabbed a broken piece of table leg and whack each one of them in the head while jumping from head to head, "Bad boar, bad boar," he shouted every time he whacked them.

"Get the monkey!" the leader of the boar shouted, frustrated. They recovered and retrieve their weapons and charged at him.

"Oh, you guys really wanna play huh?" Monkey said while cracking his neck, then grinned evilly, "Game on,"

The boar swung their swords and clubs at him only to be dodged and replaced by a hard punch on the face. Then, two boars rounded him swung their clubs at him, he dodged out of the way and the two boars just hit each other. More coming his way with swords, out of nowhere, he threw a bunch of banana skin and all of them slipped all the way to the wall, creating some kind of sculpture. Monkey laughing his head off, the boars never looked more hilarious. The boars recovered them self and stared angrily at Monkey. He just smirked and leaned casually against a table.

"You guys might wanna look down," he said, extremely calm like it was nothing. The boars looked down only to see them wearing nothing but their underwear, their pants were gone. Their faces red with embarrassment as Monkey laughed hysterically. The leader, growled with embarrassment retreating to the wood along with the rest of the bandits. Monkey was still laughing as the last of the bandit went out of the shop, and he laughed even harder when the young giant panda tripped the boar leader as he made his way, threw his face to the ground.

"Hahaha! Nice touch man!" Monkey said as he high fived the young panda, congratulate him

"Yeah, that's my move. I called that… the jerk!" the panda grinned widely. They laughed together until a voice interrupted them.

"If you boys done, please get me out of here!" Tigress yelled at the two boys. The panda called for Mr. Ping and he helped them down.

"Thank you for your assistance young one," Mr. Ping replied, bowed at the three of them. The young panda was bowing too.

"No problem, we're glad to help," Tigress said, smiling and turned toward the panda, "Impressive knife skill you got there," she smiled sweetly at him. The panda only blushed heavily

"Nah, no big deal really… I just used them a lot," Tigress raised her eyebrows in confusion, "For cooking," the panda quickly added. Tigress nodded in understanding. Tigress, Viper and Monkey head back to the palace by saying goodbye, and some goods from Mr. Ping. They arrived at the student barrack and headed for the kitchen.

"You were amazing out there Monkey, how'd you do that?" Viper asked, wondered. She was confused by Monkey's fighting style.

"Well, let's just say that's the way I defended myself when I'm at the streets," Monkey explained.

"No wonder Master Oogway took you in," Viper said, this time she smiled at him, for the first time

"So, your fighting style is something you made up or is it from your ancestors?" Tigress asked.

"It was something I made up… what's an ancestors?" Monkey confused, he never heard that word.

"It's the people of your family before you," Viper tried to explain.

"What?" Monkey asked, not getting any ideas.

"Your forefathers," Viper replied again

"Four fathers? That's actually make a good song. One of them is grumpy, one lives in a tree, one of them works in a factory…" he trailed off as he noticed the incredulous stare Tigress and Viper gave him, "Continue…" he awkwardly said.

"So, that's something you made up huh? You're very creative," Viper complimented.

"Yeah I am, I mean. I have to," Monkey said chuckling.

"Well, so-" Viper began but cut off again by Monkey's singing

"Three fathers are a lot but not enough, the fourth father he does kung-fu stuff," He suddenly continued. Viper and Tigress stared at him again. Monkey just grinned, "Come on! It's good right?" he asked, but he shut himself up after received a series of 'no'.

Then, the girls brought up some cookies to eat. Monkey reached to took them, but his hand swatted away by Viper, "Nu-uh. Girls only," she warned. Monkey pouted greatly.

"Fine, I rather sing anyway. Cause' he got four fathers now give me the cookie and learn to share and give it to the guy with the golden fur hair," he sang again. Tigress growled at him for being extremely annoying, "No, seriously, share me the cookie before I sing the verse about two girls slipped on a banana," Monkey said, his voice dangerously low. Viper winced, after the demonstration at the village; she didn't want anything to do with bananas. She passed the cookie to him.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," he said, still with his low voice. Before he took a bite and his attitude was cheerful again, "Oh…yeah…" he yelled happily, pumping his fist in the air.

"We have to get back to him somehow," Tigress whispered to Viper as they were going to bed for the night.

"Agreed, those cookies are strictly ours," Viper hissed. But suddenly an idea clicked in her mind, "I got an idea, since he's really into pants…" Viper started while grinned evilly before she explained the whole plan.

The next morning, three of them gathered in front of the training hall. Master Shifu was giving instructions to them, "Monkey, this is the training hall. You may train here outside the training hours. Enjoy," Shifu said before disappearing.

"Alright! Let's get this thing started," Monkey jumped with enthusiasm as he raced toward the training hall.

"Monkey," Tigress called at him, and he turned his head around, "What do say we spar? I know you're good but I want to know the amount of your strength," Tigress asked.

"Sure thing… I don't have to pull your pants right?" Monkey asked, earned a good nose crunching punch from Tigress.

"That is sick, Monkey!" she yelled furiously, Monkey just took a step back.

"Since you guys are good in balance, why don't you guys fight at the Jade Tortoise?" Viper suggested. It wasn't exactly a suggestion, Viper got the whole thing planned. Monkey agreed and spar with Tigress there.

At first, they were evenly matched, but Tigress just warmed up before the plan executed. After a good few minutes, Tigress kicked him high in the air and toward the Seven Rings of Death that dangling from the roof. Viper already up there, grabbed Monkey and hung his pants on the talons that surrounded the rings.

"Wha-? A wedgie! No! Put me down!" Monkey screamed hysterically as Viper and Tigress just smiled at him.

"That's for our cookies," Viper said

"And you will be there, until lunch," Tigress added, smirking. Then they went to their own training outside the training hall. Monkey waited until lunch, but no one came to help him down. Not even a Jade Palace servant came to the training hall.

"Uh… Guys? Tigress? Viper? Anybody? Help!" he began to freak out.

The children were all on the floor laughing their heads off as Tigress finished her story. Even the five laughed, even Po who has recovered from his 'desperate time'. Monkey's face was red due to the embarrassment.

"You don't have to tell that part!" Monkey protested at Tigress who just smiled while laughing softly.

"Sorry, couldn't resist" Tigress replied.

"Haha! The great Master Monkey of the Furious Five got wedgies!" Po shouted and they laughed even harder.

"Took you lesson Monkey, don't play with pants," Viper added.

"Oh, you mean like this?" he smiled and out of nowhere he pulled out Po's pants. Po stood there with only his boxer. The moment Tigress looked at him, she quickly averted her gaze, and her face burned bright red at the sight.

"How did you do that?" Po groaned and ran toward Monkey who already ran out of the shop, "Get back here! Give me my pants back or feel the THUNDA!" he shouted as he chased after him.

So, that's it for this week. Next up is Crane! I figured Mantis would be the last cause in the story 'Secret of the Furious Five' Mantis is the oldest. So, Po met with Monkey Tigress and Viper before, but he's gonna met Furious Five Full crew. And this story will be related to the upcoming Long Story -The Dragon Within-. Just have wait until then. Well, have nice day! And don't forget to R&R!
