Shifu leads Po and Lin Lin through the mountains. "I know you're trying to be all mystical and kung fu-y, but could you at least tell me where we're going?" Po asked. Shifu just continues walking. When Shifu was too far up ahead Po turned to Lin Lin "Hey Lin Lin can i ask you something?"

"Sure. You can ask me anything." Lin Lin smiled at him.

"well, if i do, you know go up against Tai Lung, If i had to end his life, should I?" Lin Lin thought for a moment

"If it was me, i wouldn't. Even though i hate him, Tai Lung doesn't deserve to have his life taken away, just for him to be put in jail" Po nodded to the young tiger.

Shifu is sitting beneath a tree and Lin Lin Waits beneath the tree waiting for Po. Then Winded and wheezing, Po slowly works his way up the hill. Po sets his gear down and looks around. Shifu breathes in the morning mist as Po approaches.

"You dragged me all the way out here for a bath?!" Po questioned. Po begins to pat his armpits with water.

"Po, Please do not wash your pits in The Pool of Sacred Tears." Lin Lin shouted to her friend. Po quickly stops. Realizing.

"The pool of..." Po trailed in Awe.

"This is where Oogway unravelled the mysteries of harmony and focus. This is the birthplace of Kung Fu." Lin Lin said with a smile. From above it shows that they are standing on rock shapes that resemble a yin yang symbol.. Shifu leaps atop one of the rocks and looks down at Po.

"Do you want to learn Kung Fu?" He asked the big panda.

"Yeah..." Po said awestruck.

"Then I am your master!"

"Okay!" Tears of joy well up in Po's eyes.

"aww, no need to cry Po" Lin Lin said putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Okay." Po sniffs the tears back and smiles back at Lin Lin. Lin Lin and Shifu leads Po out into an open field.

"When you focus on Kung Fu, when you concentrate...you stink." Shifu puts simply. Po scowls while Lin Lin giggles. "But perhaps that is my fault. I cannot train you the way I have trained the Five. I now see that the way to get through to you is with this!" Shifu produces a bowl of dumplings.

"Oh great, `cause I'm hungry." Lin Lin, who was off at the side, grinned, knowing what Shifu's going to do.

"Good. When you have been trained, you may eat. Let us begin."

Po's training unfolds - deep breathing exercises, balance tests, push ups, sit ups, climbing, etc. Through it all, he never gets to eat, although he does indeed learn kung fu.

Lin Lin sets a bowl of dumplings on a boulder as Shifu is opposite Po.

"After you, Po" Lin Lin said, grinning. Po stops short, suspicious.

"Just like that? No situps? No ten mile hike?"

"I vowed to train you... and you have been trained. You are free to eat." Po grabs one of the dumplings in his chopsticks. "Enjoy." Po raises the dumpling to his mouth. WHOOSH! Shifu snatches the dumpling away and eats it himself.

"Hey!" Shouted Po

"I said you are free to eat. Have a dumpling." Po reaches again as Shifu leaps across the table and kicks the dumpling into the air.

"Hey!" Po shouted again. Shifu eats it and Po scowls.

"You are free to eat!" Shifu said again.

"Am I?" Po shouted a bit Upset.

"Are you?!"

Po and Shifu ready their chopsticks. Po slams the table and sends the bowl of dumplings airborne. Back and forth, Po and Shifu spar, vying for the dumplings. Until there is only one left. Shifu tries every trick to keep the dumpling away from Po. He hides it underneath one of the bowls. He uses his chopsticks as weapons to smack Po's chopsticks away. He attacks Po with his bamboo staff.

But Po skillfully manages to best Shifu for the final dumpling. Lin Lin and Shifu looked at each other and smiles then looked at Po, still smiling. Po has passed the final test. But then Po tosses the dumpling into Shifu's open hand.

"I'm not hungry... master." Master and pupil bow to each other.

The Five of the six race toward a rope bridge stretched between mountain peaks. Tai Lung appears at the other end of the bridge. He roars and races toward them.

"Cut it!" Tigress commanded them. The others slash at the ropes securing the bridge to the mountain. Tai Lung is almost upon them when Tigress cuts the final rope. But Tai Lung is too close - Tigress must launch herself into him. The two cats end up in the middle of the bridge just as it starts to tumble into the canyon below. The Five grab support ropes and hold on for dear life.

"Where's the Dragon Warrior? And where is my Lin Lin?" Tai Lung asked.

"How do you know you're not looking at her?" Asked Tigress, ignoring the part about Lin Lin

Tai Lung laughs. It echoes off the mountain walls."You think I'm a fool? I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you!" The Five exchange quick, worried looks. Tai Lung nodded confidently "I heard how he fell out of the sky on a ball of fire, that he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen."

The Five exchange quick, confused looks. "Po?" Monkey asked.

"So that is his name - Po. Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!" Tigress charges at Tai Lung. The battle begins. Tigress punches Tai Lung as he hangs from the bridge. But Tai Lung counters with a maneuver that sends Tigress slamming backwards through the bridge's wooden slats. Then Tigress gets choked by the bridge's ropes. Monkey turns to Crane and Viper.

"We've got this. Help her!"

Viper grabs Tai Lung, which causes him to let go of the ropes. Tigress plummets down into the gorge... but Crane manages to catch her. Viper punches Tai Lung repeatedly with his own fist. Tai Lung manages to get a paw around Viper's throat.

"Monkey!" Viper choked out. Mantis is straining to hold the rope by himself.

"Go!" Mantis says but when Monkey lets go "Ack! What was I thinking?!" Monkey leaps into action, kicking Tai Lung in the chest and sending him crashing through the slats of the bridge. He gets back to his feet and starts running back to them on a single strand of rope.

"Mantis!" Tigress shouted . Mantis whips his end of the rope, sending a sine wave shooting toward Tai Lung. The rope whips Tai Lung in the face and he gets tangled up. The Five see their chance. "Now!" Working as a team, the Five kick Tai Lung's butt every whichway. Tigress finally slashes the last rope holding up TaiLung. He plummets

down...

down...

disappearing into the mist. Mantis whips his end of the rope, returning his buddies safely to the mountain. The Five look relieved. But the relief is short-lived...

Tigress notices that the other end of the bridge is circling the far mountain peak. Her eyes go wide with dread. The rope whips up. But Tai Lung isn't there. With a crash, he suddenly appears behind the Five.

"Shifu taught you well..." Tai Lung Started. Tai Lung jabs a finger at Monkey, who instantly freezes. "But he didn't teach you everything."

Tai lung lunges toward the rest.
