Hey guys ~ my first fanfic ~ Tipo ship in the future. Hope you like it!

The massacre of the pandas has proven that fate behaves in strange ways, as without this event, a certain panda would not have ended up in a place where e was fated to be. This panda was somehow imported from Gongmen city to the valley of peace and ended up in the backyard of a goose's noodle shop...in a radish basket. Here a revised journey of Po, with a little twist.

4 years after the adoption of Po

It was just another day on the job where 5-year-old Po was sent to fetch some fresh ginger from the local food vendor for his dad's experiment in making his secret ingredient soup. Po had excitedly followed his dad's instructions and made his way to the market district of the valley. He was the only panda in the village, yet despite that he was treated extremely well by the citizens. His bright personality and his caring nature always brought joy to those he spoke to and he helped others whenever he had the chance to. He was greeted by dozens of people, from shopkeepers to little children (although Po was a child himself, he was by no means "little").

It was unfortunate, however, that right after Po had purchased the ginger he required that a group of crocodile bandits came rushing into the market demanding money to every merchant and vendor in sight. He stood helpless as all the shopkeepers and sellers were threatened and forced to giveaway their money. He witnessed a young bunny, even younger than he was, confused and scared be shoved by a bandit to the floor. At that moment, all the fear and terror within Po dissipated into nothingness. All that was left was a mixture of anger and courage, he clenched his fist, and ran to them trying to stop their violence although he knew there was very little he can do. Before he could reach them, however, he was stopped by a wooden cane. Who Po saw in front of him was none other than the father of Kung Fu himself, Master Oogway...but not so little po did not know that yet. All he saw was an old turtle wearing a single piece of robe for clothing. What better could he do against these bandits than he?

Master Oogway turned behind him to see who the brave little boy was, only to realize that he was a panda...no...he was THE panda. The panda who embodied the past and the future of Kung Fu, both sides of the Yin and Yang. Oogway knew for certain that this not so little boy will be the person who brings light to the future. He smiled and said:

"Young panda, thank you for your bravery"

Po, still panicked and nervous about the situation, quickly replied: "Thank you, Mr. turtle but what about the bandits!"

Oogway returned his gaze to the destructive scene and allowed a small smile to show in his expression.

"Well, we shall see," he stated.

Without further notice, Oogway dashed into the scene eliminating each bandit with such grace that Po's eyes widened like saucers out of admiration. Oogway kicked, punched and swung his staff to knock each bandit unfortunate enough to encounter the ends of his assault unconscious, all while dodging and evading their attacks with incredible skill. Just after a few seconds, Oogway had rendered an entire group of bandits consisting of around a dozen crocs unconscious.

Po looked at him in astonishment.

"H-how did you do that?" he asked.

Oogway returned his eyes to him and simply smiled.

"It wasn't the matter of being able to or not being able to do something, it was the matter of whether one is willing to do it," he said with a caring expression " And you, young panda, were willing do it. Whether or not you are able to, you can learn"

"I-I can learn what you just did?!" Po replied enthusiastically "how!? Your punching and kicking was so cool!" Po attempted to imitate his techniques with astoundingly high precision.

Oogway chuckled at the panda's cheerful nature.

"It's not just about punching and kicking, a young panda, it's about harmony and focus. 'It' is called Kung Fu"

Po stood there again wide-eyed out of pure admiration while mumbling to himself "Kung fu…."

Oogway continued "Now if you want to learn, come with me to the jade palace. We have the greatest masters in all of China"

"Okay," Po replied, but before he could take another step, "WAIT, wait I-i can't do that, I need to help my dad and the noodle shop"

Oogway wasn't surprised for he foresaw this reply and said "Then what about a deal. If you truly want to learn Kung Fu then every morning at dawn, I am willing to train you near the outskirts of the village by the riverside. And if you want, you can even come to the jade palace on the weekends to spend time with the masters-"

"Awesome! This is so cool, I can also help defend the valley! And speaking of which, what is your name Mr. turtle?" interrupted Po.

Amused again master Oogway replied "You have a big heart young panda, you should talk to your father first about this. My name is Oogway"

"My name is Po. I will talk to dad about this. Can we start now? How about tomorrow? The dad after that?" pleaded Po for never has he been so inspired before in his short life.

"Patience now young Po, we can start tomorrow. But for now, farewell...and make sure you don't forget your ginger"

"Huh?" Po looked to his hand and found that the ginger was still there. He looked back towards master Oogway only to find him gone. "Whoa did he just vanish into thin air?" He looks around and only saw the citizens of the valley repairing the damage done by the bandits.

Without any further hesitation, po raced back to the noodle shop and told dad all about what happened.

"WHAT you met master Oogway!?" shouted Mr. Ping in surprise. "Take the opportunity son. When you become a famous master, you can promote my noodles!"

"What! Really dad!?" Po asked in cheerful surprise, "I thought you would say no"

"Oh it's quite alright Po, I mean you'll be back by afternoon right? And besides a trip up to the jade palace every weekend wouldn't hurt. We may be noodle folk but that doesn't mean we can't take the chance to do other stuff as well. Now, it's getting late. Off to bed you go"

"Thanks, dad" and with that last remark Po gave his dad a hug and settled off to bed excited for his first day of Kung Fu training tomorrow.
