A/N: I am full-on addicted to this awesome anime called 'Parasyte: The Maxim'. It's kinda like invasion of the body snatchers, but the aliens also give their human hosts the ability to turn their appendages into razor sharp weapons. To start the new year, I figured I'd do something combining the Parasyte fandom with the Kung fu Panda fandom. Why? Because no matter what universe you live in, a Parasyte invasion can take place in any universe, which is another reason why it's terrifying and awesome at the same time. So, this story is a retelling of the 'Kung fu Panda' short; 'Secrets of the Scroll', only it crosses over into the world of Parasyte as well. Now let's get right into the story, shall we? Enjoy!


Deep in center of ancient China, there was a small, secluded village amongst a large field of wheat with many rivers rushing through it. This village was known to many who lived there as the 'Valley of Peace', and it was home to a large palace atop a very tall hill. The Jade Palace, the home to the legendary masters of Kung fu, Oogway and Shifu, as well as their student, Tigress. It was a seemingly normal village, nothing exciting or extraordinary happened. But little did the villagers know that tonight, things were about to change.

It was an hour past midnight in the Valley, and everyone was safely tucked into their bed, sleeping soundly. The cricket's chirping was an annoyance to some, to others it was enough to lull them to sleep (mostly because of how adjusted they had been to the country life). From the sky fell small green kiwi-shaped spores, covered in a substance that felt like grass, as well as small black fronds all over. They came down like snow in the winter, or ashes after a great blazing fire. When they landed, out of these spores came out a small green worm with fronds on the sides, and eyeballs on the tips of said fronds, and on the tip of their heads was something similar to a silver drill-bit. Some of them landed on the open windowsills of homes and apartments of the villagers who lived there, others landed in the plants or the rivers that surrounded the town. Most of the worms that exited these spores found their way to the sleeping villager and entered their bodies through their ears, which gave them a clear pathway to their brain. The pain of them drilling through their brain matter to reach the very center of their minds caused the villagers to scream lightly, or just to struggle before they finally settled down and went back to sleep. They had already selected their hosts.


One spore landed on the roof of a local food establishment. The worm exited it's spore and saw a sign hanging up on the inside above the counter. The sign was in Chinese characters that read 'Mr. Ping's Noodles', but the worm didn't understand what it meant, and was confused at the sight of the characters meanings. The worm then continued to move across the edge of the roof and then landed on a windowsill that was right above the sign it saw earlier, and it looked inside to see a sleeping male panda in his mid-teen years. To the worm, this panda seemed like it was the perfect host for itself. After a few minutes of crawling on the floor, and up the leg of the panda's bed, the worm made it's way to the panda's ear only to see it was blocked by a foam plug. The worm hissed in irritation, and then made it's way up the panda's face all the way up to his nose. The minute the worm was about to enter the panda's right nostril, the panda stood up from his bed and sneezed, which sent the worm flying onto the other side of the bed, right in between his feet.

"Oh man, that was a big one" the panda said tiredly. The worm hissed again, and it caught the half-asleep Panda's attention.

"Huh?" He asked when rubbed his eyes and looked down to see the worm that tried to go up his nose.

"WOAAAHHHH!" He shouted as he fell right out of the bed, and stood right back up, taking the ear plugs out as he got back onto his feet. He then ran over to his desk and grabbed a blank scroll, rolling it up and held it in his right paw like a weapon before turning back to his bed, but the worm was gone. The panda was now taking deep breaths as he looked around.

"Alright, Po. You can do this, it's just a little worm. Smash it, and then you can go back to sleep. That's all there is to it" he said to himself. The Panda, who's name was Po kept on looking until he looked down onto his clothing chest, he saw the worm sitting right at the very edge of the trunk's lid. Po's eyes widened and let out a startled cry out at the worm's sight. The small worm jumped right up at Po, the drill bit on the tip of it's head now beginning to rotate fastly. Po held the scroll up to defend himself, but it penetrated his palm, right below his pinkie finger, causing Po to start shouting in pain as it began burrowing up his right arm.

"It's inside! Get out! Get out!" he screamed. Po then grabbed a belt and tied it around his arm super tightly.

"Come on, get out of there you little pest!" Po said, muffled as he tugged the belt to make it tighter with his own teeth. Po then heard a voice coming from the bottom of the stairs, it was his own father, Mr. Ping, the owner of Mr. Ping's Noodles, walking up the stairs one lit candle to illuminate the room. His eyes went wide to see what his own son was doing to himself.

"Po! What are you doing!? Stop that!" Ping shouted before placing the candle on the stool and ran over to Po and loosened the belt before tossing it over to the other end of the room.

"What were you thinking?!" Mr. Ping scolded his adopted son.

"But dad, there was this weird looking worm-thing, and it drilled a hole in my hand and it went right up my arm, and..." Po explained to the goose frantically. Mr. Ping then looked down at Po's hand, only to find there was no hole.

"Po, I don't see anything" the goose told him. Po then looked down to see that the hole that was made by the worm was gone. Po was in disbelief, he knew what he saw.

"But, dad. It was right there, and it went right up my arm" Po told his father, but Ping only tapped his wing on the panda's right paw and then helped him up off the floor and walked him back to his cot.

"You just had a bad dream, that's all. You don't need to be screaming and trying to cut off your circulation this late at night" the goose said as he helped the teenaged panda back into bed and placed a blanket over him.

"But, it felt so real" Po said as he held his right paw up over his head and clenched it to make a fist a few times, but nothing felt different or out of the ordinary.

"Just go back to sleep, and you'll forget this ever happened. Goodnight" Mr. Ping said as he grabbed his lit candle and walked back down the stairs to his own bedroom.

"Night, dad" Po said as he placed his paw back under the blanket and then shifted to the side before going back to sleep, not even bothering to put his ear plugs back in, and drifted into a dreamless slumber throughout the rest of the night.


The next morning, inside a small living space lived two pigs who were husband and wife. The wife was making breakfast for the both of them, while the husband pig walked out of the bathroom with a deadpan expression on his face, his eyes wide but his eyelids were slightly shut, and his mouth was in the shape of a straight line.

"Oh, honey, you're awake! Did you want any breakfast?" asked the wife. The husband turned his head towards his wife and spoke in a monotone voice.

"Oh, honey, you're awake! Did you want any breakfast?" repeated the husband pig.

"What? What did you say?" she asked, wanting to make sure her husband was alright.

"What? What did you say?" he repeated what she said again. Now, she was worried and went over to her husband, placing her hooves on his shoulders.

"Sweetie, please stop copying me and answer me. Are you alright?" she asked, but this time, no response came.

"H-Honey?" She asked, tears now brimming in her eyes. Her husband's face now having red lines across his face, and his head splitting open to form something similar to what looked like a plant-pod, only each folds of the pod head has three rows of razor sharp teeth. In the center of it's mouth was an esophagus with more rows of razor sharp teeth surrounding it like an Earthworm, and six eyeballs circled the fang covered esophagus.

"O-Oh my God" the wife whispered to herself in fear, her tears now falling down her face, and her jaw agape in horror at what her mate had become. After mere seconds passed by, the large monstrous pod launched itself forward and closed up it's jaws around the female pig's head, decapitating her, and her body falling to the floor. Once the head was eaten, the pig's head returned to it's original form. He then heard his stomach growl and looked down to it.

"Not... enough... need... more... food" he said, struggling to put the words together as he spoke. He then exited the apartment, shutting the door behind him, and paid no attention to the dead body that now lied on the hardwood floor of the home he once shared with his now deceased wife.


A/N: Chapter One has been completed! The Parasytes have come to Earth, and the invasion has begun, with one of these hosts taking their first victim already. Not to mention, one of them failed to take Po's brain, and got stuck going up his arm and is now officially stuck there. In the next chapter, Po is going to experience all sorts of new changes that he never even thought were possible! More to come in the next update. Please review! Thanks!
