Y/n chuckles.
"Next time Po"

Po chuckles along, turning to the Jade Palace that was up on a mountain.

A gong sounds.
Y/n's ears twitch but she brushes it off.

Up in the jade palace.
A red panda plays a flute, sitting on the concrete ground surrounded by bushes and trees.

From behind the bushes, stealthy dark shapes move in the foreground.

He is still playing and seems oblivious. Five figures explode from the undergrowth simultaneously, diving on him.

He moves like lightning, the flute now wielded like a staff. He deflects, blocks, dodges, parries, and the attackers go flying.

They roll and pick themselves up, turning to face him, who is now standing—poised—ready for their next move.

"Well done students...if you were trying to disappoint me!" The red panda yells out

The red panda spins his flute and points it at the furious five.

"Tigress, you need more ferocity. Monkey, greater speed. Crane—height. Viper—subtlety. Mantis—"

"Master Shifu!" A delivery goose calls out, landing near the red panda.

Shifu shoots his flute at the goose in irritation.
"What!?"

"Aah! It's master Oogway! He wants to see you" the goose says, startled.

Shifu looks up, concerned. He runs to the Jade Palace, which is lined with palace geese. The door bursts open. Shifu enters and comes to a halt. Candles and emerald lighting fill the room. He takes a deep breath and bows

"Master Oogway? You summoned me. Is something wrong?" Shifu lifted his head to look up at a figure on a stick.

Oogway manoeuvres his body and flips himself around as he effortlessly makes his way down an impossibly thin staff.

"Why must something be wrong for me to want to see my old friend?" The tortoise speaks slowly as he turns and faces the red panda

"So... nothing's wrong?" Shifu asks sceptically

"Well, I didn't say that." Oogway corrects

Oogway slowly makes his way towards the candles, opening his mouth, he lets out a weak puff of air, only blowing out a single candle.
Doing this again, oogway irritates Shifu.
Having enough, shifu swings his arm and uses his kungfu to blow out every single candle around the pool.

"You were saying?" Shifu asks impatiently, tapping his foot on the ground

"I have had a vision: Tai Lung will return." Oogway spoke grimly

Shifu gasps.
His eyes widening in horror as a quick flashback to the snow leopard appears in his mind

"That is impossible! He is in prison!" The red panda denies

"Nothing is impossible." Oogway corrects slowly

Shifu freezes for a second before stuttering out for the delivery goose.

"Z-zeng!"

Zheng the delivery goose flies into the room and ends up crashing in its ungrateful landing and crashes into Shifu.

"Fly to Chorh-Gom Prison and tell them to double the guards, double their weapons. Double everything! Tai Lung does not leave that prison!" Shifu commands in paranoia.

"Yes, Master Shifu!" The goose nods

The goose soon takes off out of the huge double doors as Shifu turns back to the old tortoise.

"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway mused to himself as he stared at the delivery goose which had flown away

"W-we have to do something. We can't just let him march on the Valley and take his revenge! He'll, he'll—" Shifu frantically spoke, running back to Oogway.

" Your mind is like this water, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear." Oogway suddenly speaks, walking over to the pool and leaning over the water along with shifu

Taking his staff, oogway taps the water and calms it, the bow clear water reflecting the ceiling.
A dragons mouth holding a red and yellow scroll.

"The Dragon Scroll..." shifu mumbled in awe looking up at the scroll

" It is time." Oogway added also looking up with shifu

"But who? Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? To become... the Dragon Warrior?" Shifu questioned as he turned to oogway

"I don't know." Oogway spoke after a short pause, giving shifu an irritating smile.

Which shifu deadpanned to.
