In Gongmen Jail

Li- Okay, so let me get this straight. So far today, Akemi wore a dress...

Akemi- Hey!

Li- ...Mantis has been called "cute"...

Mantis- Hey!

Li- ...and apparently I'm dead. What's next, Tigress embracing someone?

Li sighs as he attempts to process what he has just been told before Tigress's eyes widen in a sudden realization.

Tigress- Li...

Li- Yeah?

Tigress- The cliff at the Music Village.

Li- What about it?

Tigress- The last wolf to leave was the leader of the wolf army. And the last time he saw you was when you fell past the cliff. He escaped before you climbed back up.

Li's eyes widen and walks over to the other side of Po, Akemi, and Tigress and leans against the dark portion of a nearby wall. He thinks for a moment before looking up at the three. Masters Croc and Ox remained silent in their cell as the panther began to speak.

Li- So we have an advantage then.

Po- Yeah! Wait...how?

Li- If the wolves believe I'm dead, then so does Lord Shen. They aren't looking for me, they're looking for the Dragon Warriors and the Furious Five. We can set up an ambush that they won't see coming.

Po- ohhh

Akemi- That would work.

Tigress- It also depends.

Mantis- Uhh, on what?

Tigress stares directly at Li, who almost completely blends in with the shadow that looms over him with his golden eyes being the only part of him visible.

Tigress- Were you spotted by the wolves?

Li- No, I stuck to the rooftops and was able to remain unseen. Thankfully, I noticed all of you leaping out that costume before I attempted to intervene.

Tigress- Good.

Akemi- Okay, so we got a plan.

Po- Yeah but first things first...

Po quickly strolls back over to the cell that houses Master Ox and Croc before he inspects the door.

Po- We need to get them out. We just need to find the key.

Tigress walks over to the door and strikes it with her paw, knocking it off its hinges.

Po- Oh good, you found it!

Akemi gently facepalms as Po becomes overwhelmed with excitement and runs to the center of the jail, throwing his fist in the air.

Po- YEAAHH! WE'RE COMING FOR YOU SHEN! WAHOOO!

Akemi and Tigress look back to the cell and see that the two masters haven't even budged and immediately became puzzled.

Akemi- Uhh, Po...You shouldn't get your hopes up.

Po whips back with confusion plastered across his face.

Po- Why?

Akemi- You should look.

Akemi gestures to the cell and Po walks back over and sees that the two masters haven't even bothered to stand up.

Po- Guys, are we going or not? Do you wanna meet us there later? I mean, you do wanna take back your city right?
