Split Up Ch. 1: Separate Ways

Time for a new story!

"Help!" A cry was heard throughout the village. "Help! Bandits!" A goose said but was grabbed by a croc bandit on the throat.

"Shut it goose!" The croc said as he grabbed the cash box. "Alright guys, let's get out of here before..." The croc bandit said but got cut off when the Furious Five arrived.

"Halt! You're not going anywhere!" Tigress, the unofficial leader of the Five, said. Just then, Po arrived all out of breath.

"I'm... I'm here!" Po panted as he held his knees.

"Get them!" The croc bandit said and soon his henchmen lunged at the Five and Po, with Po knocked down to the ground since he got caught off guard.

"Why don't you focuse a bit more and be early next time Po?" Monkey said as he kicked a croc in the gut.

"Well, I was busy." Po said a he threw a croc to another one.

"Busy eating that is." Mantis added as he dodged a croc's battle axe.

"Hey!" Po said but got cut off when a croc lunge at him.

"Stop arguing guys, besides better late than never." Crane joined in as he grabbed a croc and threw him high in the air.

"More like better be always late than early." Monkey said.

"Hey!" Po yelled as he punched a croc.

"I've had enough of you arguing!" Tigress joined in as she kicked a croc. "Just focus on what you're doing right now!" She yelled as she charged at some crocs.

"Tell that to the panda." Mantis said.

"Could you guys stop talking about me?" Po said as he dodged a sword.

"Guys, stop it!" Viper joined in as she knocked out a croc.

"Great, now Ms. Sweets is joining in." Mantis said as he kicked a croc.

"Hey don't call me Ms. Sweets!" Viper yelled back.

"Just stop it!" Tigress yelled as she turned to the rest of the Five, "Why am I even working with you guys! All of you keep on arguing!" She said, soon a giant argument broke out between the Five, except for Po who was busy fighting off the crocs.

"Uh... guys?" Po's voice could be heard. The Five just ignored him and continued on arguing.

"Guys... little... help here?" Po said again, only this time, his voice was kind of squeaky.

"What?!" The Five said in unison as they looks at the panda who was actually held by one last croc, but this one was a giant croc, just about the size of Li Dong.

"Could you... stop arguing... and help me here?" Po said his voice still squeaky. The Five stopped their argument and soon helped Po out.

When the giant croc let go of Po, Po immediately kicked the crocs legs then made the croc fall to the ground, knocking him out.

"Thanks guys." Po said as he rubbed the back of his head. The Five just kept silent and didn't even bother to look at each other. Po noticed this and spoke up.

"Guys, come on. Don't get mad at each other." Po said.

"Mad? No I'm not mad." Tigress started.

"Good, for a minute there I thought..." Po said but got cut off.

"I just cent stand being near all of you guys with out making me mad!" Tigress said angrily making Po close his mouth, "Why do I even fight alongside you guys? All of you just brings me down from reaching my goals." She added.

"Well, you're goals aren't even that important!" Mantis said making the tiger look at him with a death glare. Then soon another argument erupted. Po had enough of this argument and soon yelled out in frustration.

"Why do you guys always argue about something?!" He yelled making the Five look at him. "If you guys don't want to be near each other why don't you just all go you're separate ways?!" Po yelled again but soon regretted what he said and covered his mouth.

"You know what?" Tigress started, "That sounds like a great idea." She said.

"No wait, that's not what I meant..." Po tried to talk her out of it but cut off.

"I'm leaving the Jade Palace and quitting the Furious Five." Tigress said as she turned and went back to the palace to pack her stuff.

"I'm doing the same." The rest of the Five said as they also went back to the palace to pack up.

"No, guys." Po said as he called out to the Five but was ignored instead. "Aw man!" Po said as he sprinted to catch up with them but was slowed when they got to the steps.

By the time Po got to the top, the Five were all done packing and were now heading out of the palace. Master Shifu noticed this and went to go ask them what is going on.

"Tigress? What is going on?" Master Shifu asked his adopted daughter.

"I'm leaving the Jade Palace Master, I couldn't stand working with the rest of the Five." Tigress replied as she headed out the palace gates. Matter Shifu watched the other members head out as well.

"You too?" He asked the other who nodded their heads. Master Shifu followed them outside then stopped when he saw the panda out of breath and lying on the ground.

"Po, what happened? Why are the Five going their separate ways?" Master Shifu asked.

Po stood up and looked back down to his master. "Well, you see, when we were fighting some croc bandits, the Five got into an argument. When we defeated the crocs, they got into another argument and I got frustrated and just cracked under the pressure saying that if they don't like being near each other they should just go their separate ways. But soon I regretted what I said and tried to talk them out of it and now I am here explaining what just happened." Po explained everything.

"So this is you're fault?" Master Shifu asked.

"Well, maybe a little but that was because I got so frustrated." Po replied, "We better go talk to them before they leave." Po added as he turned to go catch up with the Five.

"No panda." Master Shifu said making Po stop in his tracks.

"Wait what? What do you mean no? We have to let them stay who else is going to protect the Valley other than me?" Po said.

"It's their choice, if they want to leave then so be it." Master Shifu said as he sighed and went back indoors.

"But Master Shifu ..." Po tried to persuade him but stopped. "So I guess it's up to me to protect the valley now, all alone." Po said to himself as he got upset. He looked back to the Five who were now near the bottom of the steps and sighed. He kicked a small pebble and then went in the palace. Po headed to the kitchen and grabbed a bunch of dumplings and began to eat, since he always eats when he's depressed.

"Man, this sucks." Po sighed as he ate a dumpling. "Why did I even say that?" Po added, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid me!" Po said as he hits his head. Master Shifu was just nearby and watched the panda, he too let out a sigh.

'I hope you will all return someday, my students.' He thought as he headed back to his room.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts (do do do)

All of them are standing in a row (pum pum pum)

This chapter is done now on to the next one!
