Chapter 21: An Assault That Seemed Unbelievable

A.N- Well here we are at the conclusion of the story. I hope you guys have enjoyed it. So enjoy my parting gift: the twenty-first and final chapter of KFP: The Quest For The Vase. Enjoy and thank you all for the kind feedback.

Po stood over the table looking at all of the scrolls that had been sprawled across it; one in particular had already been opened and lay in the middle of the table.

"This must be the one Shifu was talking about," Po thought to himself as he took up the open scroll in his paws.

The scroll depicted a shadow, who stood tall among everyone; he was destroying buildings and ruining towns, and then stood a yin and yang symbol standing in front of him; his light casting behind him, protecting the people from the shadow.

"What...what is this!" Po said as he closed the scroll for a moment and looked at the characters imprinted on it's side.

"The prophecy scroll," Po said as he reopened the scroll; this time the scene changed.

"What...what happened to the last picture!" Po said in confusion.

This picture depicted the same two figures; this time the yin and yang figure had been smashed and broken; while the people behind him were obliterated by the shadow.

Po looked in horror at the picture, but couldn't help to see more; so he closed the scroll and then reopened it. The yin and yang warrior appeared once more; he was all broken and had lost his light, but he stood up against the shadow once more.

He was interested into what happened next; so he once again closed and then reopened the scroll. The shadow had been defeated, but the warrior was nowhere in sight; the people mourned over the warrior's sacrifice, while others cheered over the shadow's defeat.

Po suddenly closed the scroll and laid it on the table; horrified at what he saw. The scroll then shuddered and then shook; Po backed up a bit from it, The scroll opened itself and characters were emblazed in blood.

"Warriors are destined to make the ultimate sacrifice! Even you Po! You are to be destroyed! Hahaha! Ready or not panda...I'm coming!" The characters read.

Po was once again horrified and started to back away even more slowly; the scroll started to emit maniacal peals of laughter.

Suddenly a loud explosion ripped through the air, causing Po to turn around to the open doors.

"What was that!" Po asked himself as he suddenly ran towards the door.

The door suddenly closed unexpectedly in Po's face; the scroll laughed all of the more; causing Po to turn towards the table.

"It's time you learned something panda," A voice said, cutting through the air, causing the flames on the torches to extinguish.

"You got to let me out there! Something's going on!" Po said as he turned around and tried to pry the doors open, but to no avail.

When Po turned around once more to see a little figure standing next to the table; he approached him, not knowing what else to do.

"What is your name panda?" The figure asked as he took up the laughing scroll and forced it to close.

"Po, the Dragon Warrior," Po answered.

"My name is Sonar; I've come to deliver you a message, Dragon Warrior," Sonar said.

"Well what is it?" Po asked.

Sonar released a soft chuckle, "Your going to wish that you had never asked," Sonar said as he began to tell Po his message.

Outside, Tigress looked up from Mr. Ping's in horror to see a giant metal contraption firing down at the people of the valley, destroying buildings.

The rest of the Five, along with Song and Ting, came up to Tigress' side and also looked at the contraption that stood out in the dark sky; it started to rain.

"What is that thing?" Mantis asked, the explosions almost blocking out his small voice. The balls of fire continued to rain down.

"Get everyone out! Now!" Tigress said as she began picking up some people and ran out of the noodle shop.

"Come on Mr. Ping; we have to get out of here!" Monkey said.

"But why? The fireworks are going on; I don't see any reason to leave," Mr. Ping said as he continued to chop ingredients.

"Unless you want to be a part of the fireworks; I suggest that you come," Monkey said as he picked up Mr. Ping and hurried after the others. Once he made it to the entrance a circular ball of fire crashed down on Mr. Ping's noodle shop, causing Monkey to throw Ping forward as he was propelled by the blast and sent crashing into a wall.

Shen looked at his scanners and smiled as he eyed the fallen Monkey.

"Get that one," Shen said.

"Right away sir!" A wolf said as he pressed a button, causing a net to shoot out from the ship. It spiraled down and snatched Monkey, bringing him back into the ship.

"Monkey!" Ting screamed as she watched him being swallowed by the ship.

The rain poured on, mixing with the light and smoke emitted from the explosions.

"We have got to stop this thing before it destroys the Valley!" Tigress screamed.

"Don't worry I'll get it! Viper, Mantis! Hold on tight!" Crane said as Viper and Mantis grabbed onto him; he then took off towards the ship.

Shen watched as Crane approached and he once again smiled as he turned towards one wolf who was at the control.

"Fire the special weapon," Shen said.

"It will be my pleasure," The wolf said as he pressed a button.

A giant bolt of lightning flew from the ship and struck Crane, Viper and Mantis, causing them to light up the night sky; then Crane suddenly stopped and all three started to fall back to earth, a trail of smoke following each.

"Get them too," Shen said as the wolf nodded. The nets fired from the ship and captured Crane, Mantis and Viper; sucking them into the ship.

"How are we going to get up there?" Ting asked as she looked up at the metal ship.

"I don't know; where is Po when we need him," Tigress said as she watched in a helpless manner the destruction of her home.

"Alright message received, now can you open the doors? My friends are in trouble!" Po said.

"Make sure you take heed to that message Po; you'll see me again soon," Sonar said as he suddenly disappeared and the doors to the Jade Palace opened.

Po ran to the doors and looked down. The village was in flames and a big metal ship hovering in the air was sucking people into it and laying waste.

"What is that thing?" Po asked himself as he levitated himself off of the ground flew down towards the valley.

Tigress watched as buildings were being destroyed, everyone ran around like crazy trying to escape the ship's wrath.

"Tigress!" Po screamed as he landed next to her.

"Po! I'm so glad your here! This ship came out of nowhere and began attacking us! It's already taken everyone into the ship!" Tigress said.

"Where's Master Shifu?" Po asked.

"I think he was taken up there too! How are we going to stop it?" Tigress said.

"Here hold on to me; I'll fly us up there!" Po said as Tigress grabbed his waste and Po flew up into the air towards the ship.

"Po be careful; they have a super weapon that zapped Crane!" Tigress warned.

"Don't worry just trust me Tigress," Po said smiling as the two of them glided up towards the ship.

"INCOMING ENEMY," The intercom buzzed throughout the ship.

"Bring up the targeting screen! Now!" Shen ordered. A wolf nodded at his request and pressed a button on the control panel, bringing up a holographic screen in front of Shen. The image showed Po coming at a quick speed towards them.

"It's that blasted panda! I won't let him ruin my plans!" Shen thought to himself as he pressed a button on his chair, bringing up a targeting screen.

The target symbol scanned the screen, tracking Po's movements as he sped towards the ship.

"Just a little bit closer..." Shen said as he grabbed the firing mechanism and prepared to fire as the symbol came closer to Po.

"TARGET LOCKED; FIRE WHEN READY LORD SHEN" The intercom buzzed causing Shen to smile evilly.

"Now you will get yours you stupid panda!" Shen screamed as pulled the trigger.

A small ball of fire emitted from the ship and raced towards Po. He saw this and maneuvered out of the way.

"Oh no you don't!" Shen said as he moved the firing mechanism causing the ball of fire to move; it circled around and raced after Po once more.

"Haha, that was a good maneuver huh Tigress?" Po asked, both unaware that the ball of fire was racing towards them.

"Yeah, haha!" Tigress said as a sound suddenly made it's way closer causing her to turn around.

"Po watch out!" Tigress said.

"What? What is it Tigress?" Po said as he stopped and turned; he saw the ball hurdling towards him, inches away. He tried to maneuver but it was too late; the ball crashed into the side of his head, and zoomed off into the distance. Po stood there dazed, while holding his head; Tigress had lost her grip and was now tumbling down to earth.

"Get her too," Shen said as the net zoomed out and snatched Tigress; bringing her back into the ship.

"Po, help me!" Tigress screamed out before she was was sucked entirely in.

"Hahaha, goodbye...Dragon Warrior!" Shen said smiling evilly as he pulled the trigger once more.

A ball of fire shot out of one of the Revenge's cannons and sped quickly towards Po, who was still holding his head.

"Ugh, that was a close one," Po said as he shook his head, his vision blurry. He turned towards the ship; the ball nearing.

Tigress and everyone else who was captured sat in a holding cell, each being depressed as a screen suddenly scrolled down and Shen's face appeared.

"Greetings prisoners; I have something exciting for you to watch," Shen said as he changed the screen to show Po outside, "the destruction of your Dragon Warrior!" Shen said again laughing hysterically.

"Look it's Po! He'll beat him!" Some of the captured villagers said as they watched the giant panda.

Po rubbed his eyes trying to make his vision compute so that he could see what was coming at him.

"Wh..why aren't you moving Po?" Ting asked the screen as she watched him.

Suddenly Tigress realized why Po wasn't moving, "He's blinded that last hit to the head must have disorientated his vision!" Tigress said causing everyone to look at her and then back at Po, realizing that she was correct.

Po finally had his vision restored, but it was too late the ball hurdled forward; not giving him a chance to move as the ball struck him, sending him spiraling off into the distance towards the Jade Palace.

Everyone watched in dismay as they saw their Dragon Warrior being defeated.

"Oh no, Po!" Tigress screamed out, tears streaming.

Po grunted in pain from the extreme heat as he grew closer towards the Jade Palace; he suddenly crashed through the giant ruby encrusted doors and then through the walls. He crashed through another wall and flew into the kitchen, slamming his head against a cabinet, causing a huge explosion to emit from the ball of fire encircling the entire Jade Palace in flames.

"Hahaha! I did it! I defeated the Dragon Warrior!" Shen said in delight as he watched the Jade Palace burn.

"Captain, set a course for Tar Ti Son immediately," Shen then said.

"Yes my Lord, directing course," The captain said as he fiddled with the controls and they spend off into the distance, leaving a burning village and palace in flames under the dark and raining sky.
