Chapter 4: The Dragon Warrior

EXT. VALLEY SQUARE - DAY

Throngs of Villagers are streaming into the arena.

EXT. TOP OF STAIRS - DAY

Po gasps for air as he hoists himself over the last step, laughing victoriously.

PO

(Out of breath)

"Yeah!"

The doors to the palace arena begin to close.

PO (CONT'D)

"Oh no! No no no! Wait! I'm coming!"

Po runs to the entrance and proceeds to bang on the door.

PO (CONT'D)

"Hey! Open the door!"

DRUMS inside drown out Po's pounding. He yells.

PO (CONT'D)

"Let me in!"

Inside, spectators' screams drown out Po's yelling. Po panics for a beat and then finds a window. He jumps and weakly struggles to pull himself up. Po struggles to peek through the window.

INT. PALACE ARENA - CONTINUOUS

SHIFU

"Citizens of the Valley of Peace! It is my great honor to present to you... Tigress! Viper! Crane! Monkey! Mantis! The Furious Five and The Nublar Six!"

The Five and The Six jump into the middle of the ring.

PO

"The Furious Five!"

Po manages a brief glimpse of the Five before a gust of wind knocks Po to the ground and shuts the window.

SHIFU

"Warriors prepare!"

Po runs over to a crack in the wall.

PO

"Peeky-hole!"

SHIFU

"Ready for battle!"

Inside the arena, Po catches a glimpse of Crane and Kenji as he spreads his wings.

PO

"Yeah! Woo! The Thousand Tongues of Fire!"

One of the spectators walks in front of Po, cutting off his view.

PIG FAN

"Whoa! Look at that."

PO

"Hey, get out of the way!"

Po backs up to get a better look at Crane and Kenji riding his back in the sky and accidentally falls down the stairs. Po climbs back up and drops his head -- he missed it.

MONTAGE:

Po tries karate chopping the door open...to no avail. He slumps to the ground.

PO (CONT'D)

"Ow..."

Po attempts a pole vault, but falls on his back. The pole whips around and hits him into the arena wall. Po rigs a catapult, only to get clobbered by it. The crowd CHEERS. Po sits atop the stairs. Alone.

SHIFU

"And finally...Master Tigress and Brooklynn!"

Po snaps to attention. Po pulls on a rope tied to a tree.
