KUNG FU PANDA: DAGGER OF TIME
CHAPTER 2: THE LEGEND OF THE DAGGER
AN UNKNOWN EMPIRE AT THE STEPS OF CHINA, PRESENT TIME…
The aged Lion sat in the lotus position closing his eyes in front of the candles. His blue silk robe was shining in the candle light. Suddenly the lion darted opened his eyes from meditation. He rose to his feet from his lotus position.
"Yuan!" he shouted. He winced and clutched his chest above his robe.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a young lion landed in front of the elder lion "Father, Is something wrong?"
The elder lion glanced at his son in front of him. His stoned body, His black pants, His Golden mane and the scar in his face below his eyes clearly showed the world that he was a skilled warrior who saw many battles.
"Yuan… Get ready. You must travel to china. The Dagger is in danger. Here…" the elder lion put his hands inside his robe and took a scroll "This scroll will lead you to the Dagger!"
The younger Lion named Yuan took the scroll from his hands "I'll leave right away, father!" he said and bowed to the elder lion.
The elder lion placed a hand on his shoulder "Listen to me son…No matter what the circumstances, don't let anyone to activate the Dagger!"
"You can trust me, father!" the younger lion said and left the hall with one last bow to his father.
JADE PALACE TRAINING HALL
Crane closed his eyes, and spread his wings. He slightly lifted his one leg, totally focusing on his balance in the jade tortoise.
He remained on that Position for two minutes. The sounds of the training from his comrades began to fade from his mind, due to his complete focus on his balance.
Suddenly, his focus shattered and he darted open his eyes and shouted "GUYS! LOOK OUT!"
Before his voice reached his friends, a white light out of nowhere hit him and his friends like a tidal wave, slamming all of them on their backs to the wall, and it disappeared, like it came.
They were all dead silent for few minutes. Even the obstacle course has stopped.
"Ugh…what just happened?" Mantis asked breaking the silence. Then they all looked at the avian.
"What? It's a bird instinct!" He defended.
"I have this feeling that this has something to do with our big guy…" Monkey wondered. They all nodded in agreement and rose to their feet.
"Better go and check it out!" viper offered. Tigress glanced at monkey "Go and get master Shifu!"
He sharply nodded and they all ran or in crane's and viper's cases, flew and slithered towards the hall of warrior.
When the six masters reached the hall of warriors, they all treated with the sight of the dragon warrior, lying on his back near a pillar.
"Po!" Tigress cried and ran towards the panda, followed by her master and her comrades. She reached and kneeled in front of Po and started shaking him "Po, can you hear me?"
No reaction from him…
They all tried but of no avail. Po still remained still. They all began to worry. Suddenly, mantis cleared his throat.
"Here, let me…I have an Idea!" he offered and jumped near Po's ear and took a deep breath…
"PO, TIGRESS IS GETTING MARRIED!"
"What, NO!"Po suddenly jerked and asked, opening his eyes and rising from his back. They all sighed in relief, except Tigress.
"You are so dead, little cricket!" she growled at Mantis and clenched her fist.
Mantis raised his thingies in defense "Hey, I was just trying to help!"
"How do you know it will work?" Crane asked.
"Bug instinct, I guess!" Mantis winked at the avian.
"What happened to you, man? "Monkey asked Po.
"Yeah, we thought you were dead" Mantis said jumping on the primate shoulder.
"No, it's just him!" Monkey pointed his thumb at his shoulder towards the bug. Mantis glared at the Primate "I was being sarcastic!"
"Po!" master Shifu grabbed Po's attention towards him "Why are you knocked out here?"
"I…uh…" Po tried to remember what happened. After some time, it hit him "Yeah…the Light!"
"What light, Po?" master Shifu asked back, jumping on his staff in front of Po.
"The white light…" Po replied his eyes slightly lit up "…It came from the reflecting pool with the large yin yang symbol!" he said pointing his fingers towards the Pool, which remained silent as if nothing happened.
Master Shifu raised a brow in confusion. But suddenly, his eyes grew wide "The Yin yang vault…" he muttered in horror.
"What's wrong, master?" Tigress asked while helping Po to his feet. Instead of answering her, Shifu ran towards the Pool.
"Master Shifu!" Po took off after him. The furious five looked at each other and they followed Po and Shifu towards the Pool.
"Master…" Tigress started from behind him "Can you explain us what is this all about?"
Shifu turned and glanced at all of their faces for a moment. Then he sighed "yes Tigress, I can explain…" he started "Are you familiar with the Dagger of time?"
They all looked at each other, clearly showing that they had no idea.
"Not surprising…" Shifu continued "The dagger of time is a more than just a weapon. It is a mystical device, which gives the holder…the power to travel through the time and change history…"
"Whoa! Dagger that change the history, Sounds awesome!" Po interrupted "Ok…sorry, go on!" he apologized after noticing Shifu and the others glare.
"The dagger of time was said to be created by the goddess of time herself. No one Including master Oogway was aware of how the dagger reached the earth. For nearly fifty years, the dagger of time is guarded inside the Yin Yang vault which is located under the Jade palace. The only way to reach it is going through the reflecting Pool. Now as per Po, the white light with the Yin and the Yang symbol only means one thing…"
"And what is that?" Viper asked on behalf of the others.
Shifu hung his head "The vault…is opened!"
SOUTH CHINA SEA, NEARLY HUNDRED YARDS FROM GONG MEN BAY. PRESENT TIME...
Yuan moved to the edge of the deck in his ship. he lifted his hood and looked at the city in front of him.
"Hmm...that must be gong-men city!" he muttered in deep voice. he turned to the deer, who was one of his crew and ordered "Bring us closer to the wind. we must reach that city at dawn. Are we clear?"
The deer saluted him "aye aye captain!" he said and left at once to carry out his orders.
Yuan took the scroll his father gave him. He once again read the scroll and confirmed his decisions.
I'll coming for you, Dagger of time...
