Matt(Guest): Everything will explained when I get there
Gamelover41952: All she needed to do was look at his aura
Omni Spectator(Guest): I can promise you that it will be well worth the wait.
This is it, the final battle. Let's begin.
With Kai drawing near, Po had gathered everyone to explain what the plan was.
"Ok, pay attention 'cause I'm only gonna go over this ten more times. The only entrance to the village is here. The dumpling squadron will take position here, while the cookie squadron will take position here. Now, on my signal, the two squadrons will... Right, ok," Po began to explain, only for some panda kids to eat the food Po was using. Some villagers started laughing. "The noodle squadron will…" Yet again, the noodles were eaten. More laughter. "Alright, ok. Anyway, the important thing to remember is that this is the spot where…" Not even Dawn could hold back laughter when a kid ate through the stick Po was using to point at the map. He tossed the remains away. "Ok, saw that coming. If you only remember one thing, it's distract the jombies until I get close enough to put the Wuxi Finger Hold on Kai. You got it?" Everyone cheered and headed for their positions. "Pandas on three. One, two, three— Panda… You guys... Never mind. I'll teach you that later." Tigress and Dawn unrolled the scroll and looked over the battle between Oogway and Kai, with Po looking over their shoulders. Then they noticed Li looked at the part with the pandas using chi.
"I… I wish I could have taught you this, son," Li said remorsefully.
"It's ok, Dad. I'm... " Po began to say, only for everyone to hear the sound of swinging blades. That could only mean one thing.
"He's here," Tigress said gravely. Everyone rushed to their positions as Po went out to confront Po. Despite expecting it, Dawn flinched when she saw Shifu and the other members of the six as nothing more then Kai's minions. However, there was one jombie that caught her eye.
"Is that Tai Lung?" Dawn asked no one in particular. Sure enough, the snow leopard was among the jombies. Dawn smirked. She knew who she was fighting.
"Here we go!" Po called out as he started to lead the jombies into the village. One by one, the groups of pandas started to attack and…
It was working!
Despite knowing what Po was doing, Dawn still had her doubts that it would work. Then again, Po had done the unthinkable before. Finally, Dawn saw her target and struck.
"Finally! I get to fight you!" Dawn said, completely pleased by the fact she was fighting Tai Lung. The jade snow leopard twitched and charged, but Dawn was able to block him with ease. Despite not being in control, Tai Lung was still a tough fighter, but Dawn was stronger. With the use of her aura, Dawn was able to keep herself unharmed while dealing some quick and heavy damage to Tai Lung/Kai. When he was recalled, Dawn thought that Po had won.
What she wasn't expecting was to see him getting launched into the town.
"Po!" Dawn called out.
"I was wrong. I'm sorry. Run. Run!" Po wheezed. Kai walked in behind him laughing.
"So, Oogway. This was the one destined to stop me? I will have his chi and then all of theirs!" Kai said to his Oogway pendant. He turned to face Po. "And you... You really thought you can send me back to the Spirit Realm? You are just a stupid mortal!"
"It only works on mortals. You're right. I can't send you there. But I can take you there. What's that?" Po realized before pointing. Everyone turned to look, but upon finding nothing, found that Po had jumped on Kai.
"What?" Kai asked.
"Po!" Dawn and Tigress cried.
"Son!" Li called.
"Skadoosh!" Po exclaimed as he lowered his pinky. Kai struggled to break out, but Po's hold was strong.
"Son!" Li and cried as they rushed towards Po.
"No!" Kai screamed. But it was too late. All that was left was a yin-yang symbol of flower petals.
"Wha… what happened? Where's Po?" Li asked. Dawn and Tigress looked at each other. Neither wanted to be the one who explained this. Finally Tigress stepped forward.
"He took Kai away. He saved us," Tigress said simply.
"No…" Li said once he realized what Po had done.
"He saved us. But who's saving him?" Mr. Ping asked. Everyone watched the petals, hoping for some sort of sign. It was one of the most nerve-wracking things for everyone. They had no idea if Po was winning, or if Kai had finished him off. Dawn couldn't even trace him with her aura skills. Suddenly, the petals started to break their formation.
"Come on, son… Fight!" Li said, before pausing. "We have to help him!"
"How?" Dawn asked.
"Everyone gather around," Li ordered. Everyone listened. "That's it. Come in close. Come on. We can do this. Po, you taught us who we were meant to be," He said before extending his paw. "A father,"
"A friend," Tigress said as she extended her own paw.
"A helper," Dawn said as she held out her hand. Soon everyone started extending their hands and saying what Po had helped them become.
"A dumpling kicker,"
"A lethal fighting machine,"
"A hugger,"
"A nunchuck chick,"
"Stripy baby,"
"A family," Mr. Ping said as everyone closed their eyes. While they didn't see it, their extended hands glowed a bright yellow. No one dared to open there eyes until a yellow shockwave came from the petals as all the masters were freed. Dawn snickered when she saw Shifu at the bottom of a pile with the other Four on top of him.
"We're back!" Viper cheered.
"Bestie!" Monkey said as he grabbed Mantis.
"I'm still green. It didn't work! Oh wait, that's my normal green," Mantis said before Lei Lei grabbed him.
"Greeny baby!" She cheered.
"Not a baby! Not a baby. Antenna of Fear!" Mantis protested, causing Dawn to nearly double over in laughter until she realized something.
Po still wasn't back.
"What about Po?" Li asked.
"Have you seen Po?" Dawn asked Viper.
"No. He's not here?" Viper answered.
"Po... Po? Why isn't he back?" Mr. Ping asked as everyone turned to the petals hoping it would give them some kind of answer. Suddenly, the petals burst up to reveal Po dressed in warrior garb and holding a staff. Everyone cheered.
"Po!" Li cheered.
"You can fly!" Mr. Ping added. The petals then dropped, revealing Po was still wearing his normal clothes and couldn't fly as he fell to the ground. For what the hundredth time that day, Dawn started laughing, but this time, it was mixed with happy tears. It was finally over.
"Dad. Dad. Dads!" Po said as he held his arms out for both of them, who wasted no time rushing over to him.
"Don't you go disappearing in petals ever again!: Mr. Ping ordered.
"We thought we lost you!" Li revealed.
"No, you saved me. You all did. Now come on over here!" Po ordered. Everyone rushed to hug him, with Dawn and Tigress being particularly quick.
"Master Shifu!" Po cheered when he saw his master.
"The student has truly become the tea…" Shifu began to say, only to notice that Po's staff was real. "Wait, where did you get that?"
"Oh this. Oogway gave it to me in the spirit realm," Po replied.
"Of course he did," Shifu said as he started shaking his head, clearly done with Oogway's ways.
"I think I mastered chi," Po said meekly.
Shifu facepalmed. "Of course you did. Can you… teach me?" Everyone laughed this time. Dawn looked up at the sky, she still had no idea what was coming or how everyone not named Duncan was doing, but she hoped they were doing as good as her.
The hooded figure groaned. Of course every good villain Dawn had fought had been killed. Despite having some good villains from her and Duncan's shared world, the extra muscle would have been nice. At least the fact he was forcing his four current villains to recover Lord Shen's heavy cannons was easing the rage a bit.
"More to the left!" His partner called out as Gideon and General Tsao struggled with a cannon.
"Why can't you do what the Contessa is doing?" The holding figured as everyone turned to look at the Contessa, who, rather the carrying the cannons herself, had brainwashed several citizens to do it for her.
And yet another story comes to a close. No extra chapter this time because this story kinda just wrote itself. Anyways, next time, we'll be heading back into the realm of cartoons to see what Junior has gotten up to in the world of Codename: Kids Next Door.
