"Po?" Lei asked, backing up into the corner. She released her claws, ready to attack to the figure clouded in the smoke and debris. "Cough* Cough* Yeah.. Its me." Lei eased up and ran up to her cell bars, trying to get as close as possible to the panda. "How are things going out there?" Po looked at himself, beaten, bruised, and bleeding, then let his head fall back onto the debris.

"Oh its fine, I'm doing great." He said with a unsettling cheerful tone.

"I can see that." Lei said with a small chuckle.

Po sat up, dusting the debris off himself, then chuckled, "Man, I don't think I can do it, He's so overpowering. It's like I'm fighting a monster," Po looked down, "Its actually really scary…" Lei sighed at the sight of Po, his head down and his eyes saddened, he was giving up. "Yeah… but that doesn't mean you should just quit. What if he doesn't keep his promise and kills you? Lei gripped the metal bars hard, "If you quit, we all are doomed." Po looked up at Lei, her eyes begging him to push forward. He thought to himself… "She's right, right? What happens if I lose? I can't give but…"

Po put his paw over his face and began, "Listen, Lei… I just.."

"You just what…" Tai Lung interrupted. Lei jumped at the sound of his voice, quickly laying her hand on his head. Po removed his paw from his face and looked at the snow leopard in shock. "You… are the Dragon Warrior Panda. Now quit your complaining and fight."

"Tai Lung…"

"He is not the only monster to ever exist. He is not the first you've faced. It is your duty as my foe to defeat this monster so that," Tai Lung pointed to himself, "This one can kill you. Fight like her life depends on it."

That's all he needed. Po looked at him in the eye, and regained the fire he needed in his heart. The strength, the will…

"I have one more techinique… But if I use it, you won't be able to fight me again." Lei looked puzzled, "What is it?"

Po looked off into the direction of Jiong, and with a stern voice, he said loudly

"One who does the technique of all knowledge will forget his knowledge an memory of the arts. Thus… this is forbidden amongst masters."

"Po…." Tigress murmured to herself. She still lay on the ground staring at the emperor's tower in which said Panda was thrown. In an instant, her ear twitched and she immediately jumped backwards, barely dodging an elbow drop from Jiong. Tigress growled then roared at the Lion, and received one back from him. As the two exchanged taunts, they silenced noticing the black and white Panda that walked towards the battlefield. The soldiers that surrounded the battlefield parted from Po's path, allowing him to freely walk past. Once Po had stopped walking, he looked up at Jiong, who had begun to speak.

"HAHA, Are you revitalized Panda? Did you speak to my daughter? What did she tell you, to come out here and surrender?'

"Actually dude... it's the exact opposite,"Po said with a laugh, "She told me to do the hardest thing I could ever do." Jiong's face grew serious, and he asked in a deep tone… "Now what might that be?"

"To fight on and lose everything instead of giving up and gaining nothing."

Jiong paused for a moment, then faced the Panda with a serious look. "You consider dying here more honorable than allowing yourself to give up?" Po nodded his head, never taking his eyes off his foe.

"Now before I do this… Monkey, Crane, Viper, Mantis.. You guys gave me a hard time when I first came here. But we became a family, and I love you guys. You were my family when I only had my dad. Coolest and most awesome friends I've ever had."

The four of them looked at Po with eyes that were near tears. Viper smiled at him, allowing tears to fall from her face. Monkey pounded his chest, then raised his fist in the air, the classic "I gotchu man." Mantis smiled at Po, mouthing "Thanks big guy" and Crane tipped his hat at him.

"Tigress… I don't want to put you on the spot or anything but.. uh.. I'm sorry I guess. I know I get on your nerves all the time and we always fight… but not to sound wack or anything," Po choked on his words a little bit,

"I think I love you."

Tigress jumped at the sound of this. She knew they had feelings for each other, but it was a bittersweet relief to hear it. All she could do was mouth "I love you too."

"Are we done with your goodbyes Panda?" Jiong interrupted.

"No, I have one more. Thanks Jiong, for teaching me that the only monster that you should be scared of… Is just you." Jiong's eyes widened with shock as Po began the movements for his final technique… He bent down to the ground

Earth

Then raised up, swinging his arm around and causing a great breeze to come forth.

Wind

He then stood on one foot, raising his left knee, dropping his right arm over the knee and raising his left arm.

Heaven

Then a golden aura surround Po, the aura becoming translucent dragon wings on is back. The aura became dragon heads around his hands. A dragon tail extended from behind him, and jade green eyes closed, only to open again and be yellow. Jiong stepped back in fear of Po, yelling in rage as the figure he saw before him was his greatest foe…

"RAIIIIIIKUUUUUUUUU"

Po raised his arm and pointed at Jiong, his voice the sound of his own and a gentle dragon, "Jiong, the crimes you have committed exceed your deeds of good. We, the dragon warriors, punish you in the greatest degree."

Thus, the titan rose and ascended unto the deity over Kung Fu…
