Lei's Pov

Master Oogway told me to follow him as I am unsure where we are until we arrive at this pool of some kind far away from the valley "so um master Oogway where are we?" I ask unsure "I believe your brother has mentioned to you a place known as the sacred pool of tears?" He asks calmly as I gasp in shock "where you discovered kung fu..." I say mind blown "yes it is so since you have the basics of the sharingan I assume you have a basis of what it can do?" He asks as I nod "good then our first goal will be to get you used to these eyes for they have a price..." Master Oogway says smiling then sounding serious as I gulp "these eyes are rooted from emotion that's what triggers them the day you were chosen as the legendary lightning blade weilder was the day you're Sharingan awakened your emotions can cloud your judgment and can make you act on impulse they also are rooted in an ancient evil the path of hatred walk along this path and you will never return from its gruesome clutches" he warns as I nod my head "yes master Oogway" I say as he chuckles "All right so tell me what you do know besides not even I can read the scriptures I assume you figured it out by now that only someone with the Sharingan can read scriptures of the scroll" Oogway requests as I nod "well from what I know my clan was from the third dynasty they were a legendary clan who were known for their Chi especially their Chi gift which is the Sharingan eye there are three states to it the first state the one tomoe which grants the user the ability to see Chi the second state the two tomoe which not only enhances the one tomoe's abilities but also gives the user the ability to dodge opponents attacks and predict them like an early warning system in the brain And finally the mastered Sharingan's abilities grants the user the ability to copy an opponents moves whether it be through physical combat Chi moves or chi illusions and as for the rest of the scriptures I haven't had the chance to read them sorry Master" I say with honesty then shame "it's quite all right Lei I understand you were grieving at that time loneliness is a very powerful feeling of sadness" Oogway says as he tosses me the scroll "I would suggest you read more there might be some more key information that might help you understand more" he says as I nod and read the scroll some more and read out loud as Oogway listens as well curious as I am "okay it says here that there's also another state of the Sharingan the Mangekyou Sharingan it can be awakened when one loses someone close to them or experiences huge levels of emotion... Oh God..." I say with fear as even Oogway seems a bit surprised "I never knew that the Sharingan had an advanced level of power and it's method of obtaining it is dark..." I admit with fear "I must admit the methods are interesting but that doesn't make you who you are I think you will find your own way besides the universe brought the both of you for a reason" Oogway says as I nod and put the scroll in my pocket "all right you said that a fully mastered Sharingan allows you to see chi and Grant you the ability to predict one's movements and counter them let's start there once you've mastered your sharingan's current capabilities then you shall move on to practicing your unique Chi ability lightning and then once you master this you then can move on to learning how to use the sword of heroes" Oogway instructs as I nod and we start with doing doing warm up stretches to basic exercises and then do intense exercises and then move on to mastering my sharingans current capabilities by having a sparring match and him trying to allow me to get used to my eyes abilities and when I used my eyes to see his chi it was huge and unexplainably powerful which shocked me since now I'm aware of Oogway's strength and the fact he was obviously holding back and the sparring kept going until night time "so how do you feel?" Oogway asks as I nod my head "I feel I'm more used to my eyes this time and this fight allowed me to learn basic Kung Fu skills so thank you Master Oogway..." I say Bowing in respect as he does the same "your welcome my student" he says smiling and giggling a bit as we head back to the palace and I head over to where Po's room is and knock "come in!" He says as I smirk and open the door to find him getting acupuncture by mantis with the help of vipers instructions on a diagram awkward.

Po's Pov a few minutes before Lei returns from training

I am hurting from the acupuncture confused on how it's supposed to help me feel better "OW...I thought you said acupuncture was supposed to make me feel...BETTER!" I say as I yell again from getting one of my nerves poked " trust me it will it's just hard to find the right nerve point under all this..." Mantis says as I cut him off "fat?" I ask assuming that's what he meant "fur I was gonna say fur" he says as I look away from him "sure you were" I say sarcastically "who am I to judge a warrior based off his size I mean look at me" mantis says I'm assuming is his way of I think warming up to me maybe I'm not so sure as I look at my left shoulder "I'm over here" he says as I look to my right and he pokes one of the needles there "AH OW!" I yelp "maybe you should look at this again" viper suggests "oh...ok" mantis says attempting to get the right nerve points as I yelp in pain and laughter from him getting nerve points that make me laugh as a reaction "I know Master Shifu is trying to inspire me and all but if I didn't know any better I'd say he is trying to get rid of me..." I admit as mantis awkwardly smiles getting more needles as I laugh awkwardly and viper looks away abit unsure I assume how to answer my statement "I know he can seem kinda heartless but he wasn't always like that" he says as my brother walks in "hey bro" he says chuckling "how is he?" He asks "well...a work in progress..." Mantis says chuckling a bit "so what are you all taking about?" He asks as viper fills him in on our discussion "well at least it should help...wait..." Lei says as he walks next to me "hey mantis I have an idea how to help but before I do I wish to apologize for before...at the tournament" Lei says bowing "nah it's ok you love your brother that's what families do" mantis says smiling genuinely "so what do you have in mind?" He asks as he explains to him his Sharingan and how it could help with the acupuncture "ah I see alright then tell me where the nerves I'm looking for are and I'll well...do my work" mantis says as Lei nods and viper continues the tale she was going to say before Lei came in the room "according to legend there was once a time Shifu would actually used to smile" she says as I gasp "no" I say with surprise "heh even the old fart can smile sometime..." Lei jokes as we all laugh a bit "but that was before..." Viper hesitates "before what?" I ask as she's about to answer when Tigress bursts to the room "before Tai Lung" she answers coldly "uh yeah we're really not supposed to talk about him..." Crane warns "well if these two are staying here they should know" Tigress says simply as she walks to me and Lei "guys guys we know all about Tai Lung he was a student and mastered all 1,000 scrolls of...Kung Fu then he turns bad and now...is in jail..." I say excited then quietly as Tigress glares at me "he wasn't just a student...." She starts explaining the story of Tai Lung "Shifu found him as a cub and he raised him as his own son and when the boy showed talent in Kung Fu Shifu trained him he believed in him that he was destined for greatness but it was never enough for Tai Lung he wanted the dragon scroll and the sword of heroes and when Oogway saw darkness in his heart he refused...outraged Tai Lung layed waste to the valley he tried to take the dragon scroll and sword of heros by force and Shifu had to destroy what he had created but how could he Shifu loved Tai Lung liked he never loved anyone before or since...and now he has a chance to make things right to train the true dragon warrior and lighting blade weilder and he's stuck with you two a emotionally unstable human and a big fat panda who treats it like a joke" she says as I then sadly look to the floor as Lei speaks up "well don't blame me for feeling love for my brother...I just wish for him to be who he wants and help him no matter what...and he is the kindest most honorable person I have had to grow up with...so if you wish to misjudge him go ahead but if any of you wish to belittle him...or pin him down..." Lei says as he then gives off the most angry and vengeful glare I've ever seen with his Sharingan active "I won't hesitate to take you guys down..." Lei warns walking to his room as viper follows apologizing to me as I nod and tigress walks off "she's cold but not a bad person she'll warm up to you eventually" mantis says "thanks...that and for the acupuncture...it helped..." I say simply "your welcome...so what is your name?" He asks as I start to smile "names Po Ping it is by the way an honor to meet you" I say feeling better as mantis smiles and we talk and get to know one another for a bit and make jokes until 15 to 30 minutes pass "well Po it was nice meeting you and I'm going to bed so night man" he says walking to his room "night mantis" I say as I lay down and let sleep take me over thinking how mantis and viper are being nice and how I'm excited for the next day to learn how to do Kung Fu maybe things won't be as bad after all.
