Back at the Jade Palace, Vee could hear footsteps approaching the doors and stood straight with a relaxed smile on her face. She was excited on the inside to know who became the Dragon Warrior. She could hear the crowd continue to cheer for the Dragon Warrior as the palace doors opened to reveal the palace pigs bringing in Po, who was still in the ruined palanquin. Vee's eyes widened in complete surprise and had a shocked expression as she saw a new warrior enter. The palace pigs dropped Po to the ground and quickly exited.

"Wait a second!" Po groaned.

The doors closed, that left Po and Vee alone in the room.

"Hello? Uh... I think there's been a slight mistake." Po said as he looked at the door. "Everybody seems to think that I'm, uh..."

Vee eyed him in curiosity as she was meeting a new warrior. She cleared her throat, that made Po yelp in surprise and looked at Vee.

"Uh...hello." Po said.

"Hello." Vee replied. "Um...are you a new guy?"

"Uh...I think so." Po answered. "Hey, you're that new kid at the Jade Palace."

"Yeah, I am." Vee nodded. "I've been here for a year now. But the real question is; who are you?"

"I'm Po." Po introduced as he held out his paw to shake hands with.

"Venus, but my friends call me Vee." Vee introduced as she shook his paw.

"Wait, have you been inside during the whole tournament?" Po asked.

"Nah, just watched the challenges." Vee shrugged. "But not when Oogway was about to pick the dragon warrior."

"You mean you didn't hear any of that outside?" Po asked again. "The fireworks, the screaming, and the thud? You didn't hear none of that?"

"No, but that sounds cool." Vee replied.

"Then why'd you come in here?" Po asked.

"Oh, right." Vee said before she cleared her throat again. "Congratulations, fearless warrior. You have just been promoted to the legendary dragon warrior. With this title; you will train to be the best kung fu master to have ever lived."

"Whoa." Po muttered.

"Now, I have to give you a tour of this place." Vee said.

Po looked around and realized where he was. He moaned in pure amazement.

"The Sacred Hall of Warriors! No way!" Po said.

"You know this place?" Vee asked.

"Yeah, I'm a fan of all things kung fu." Po replied. "Look at this place."

Po spotted a rhino-suit of armor and ran up to it.

"Master Flying Rhino's armor, with authentic battle damage!" Po said.

"Authentic?" Vee repeated in confusion.

Po turned and saw another famous artifact; the green sword that was in his dream. He ran up to it.

"Whoa...The Sword of Heroes! Said to be so sharp you can cut yourself just by looking-. OW!" Po said before he sucked his finger.

"They've told me not to stare at it too long for that reason." Vee commented.

Po then ran up to an apparently empty display.

"The Invisible Trident of Destiny!" Po gasped.

"That's a trident?" Vee asked. "This whole time it was a trident."
