Kung Fu Panda Fanfic - The Rise of a Hero

(XI) Sacrifices.

Kai crooked his hand and gripped Po's wrist firmly. He then pressed his fingers down hard, subduing the still confused panda to his feet as he laughed devilishly.

Kai: - Didn't Oogway teach? - It was spoken in a mocking tone. - That only works with me and mortals - He pressed Po's hand even more and threw him to the ground. - I am a spiritual warrior. -

Kai spun around and kicked Po hard in the chest, sending him flying over the wall that surrounded the village and landing hard on the ground.

In the midst of the battle with the jade warriors, everyone present watched in terror as Po lay defeated on the ground, while Kai slowly entered the village. With a wave of their hands, the jade statues left their opponents and they ran fiercely on Po.

Viper, Tigress, Li and Mr. Ping: - Po! - They cried when they saw how the wave of jade rushed at him, who lay in pain on the ground.

Instead, the jade warriors simply walked past, ignoring Po lying on the ground, and headed towards Kai. When the jade statues approached Kai they violently transformed into a green miasma, later transforming into the small jade stones that Kai wore on his belt.

Each jade warrior was a part of Kai's power, and as more warriors he absorbed, the bull became larger and more powerful.

Viper: - Po! - She yelled as she slid towards him as fast as she could. - Po! Are you OK? -

Po: - I was wrong. Runs! Everyone run! They must escape from here! Now! - He shouted with the little strength he had left while looking at the faces of everyone present.

Kai: - You know? I thought it would be a more interesting battle. - He said with a mocking tone. - But I'm pretty disappointed. So much so that I think it is not worth leaving any of them alive. Likewise, I don't needtheir body to take its Chi. -

Po turned over his body still on the ground and saw Kai's demonic face terrified. His bright green eyes showed an uncontrollable thirst for blood. Without thinking twice, Kai threw his two chained jade swords straight at Po. The panda that was lying on the ground could not do anything to evade them, its death was certain.

The swords struck hard, and Po's face and body were covered in blood.And The hard pounding of her heart rocked her body, and her breathing stopped for a few seconds. His hands were sweating and shaking uncontrollably, but something was wrong. Because that wasn't his blood.

Po quickly looked up and saw the body of his father Li justin front. The huge panda had directly received the leaves that would have killed Po. Trading his life for his son's.

Stern! - A heartbreaking scream emerged from Po's mouth, while his father, still with some vestiges of life, kept his back, standing right in front of him.

Kai seemed indifferent to what Li had done. So he yanked on his swords with force, tearing into the already fatally wounded Li's insides. The panda received a hard jolt and then fell to its knees still staring at Kai. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer until he fell on his back right next to Po.

Po did the impossible to stand up and help his father while he screamed his name over and over again. Po gently took Li's head and looked at him with teary eyes, but Li, with his dying breath, smiled back at Po.

Finally, Li took her last breath and her soul left her body. Thehuge cracks on his body from Kai's swords tore from his chest up his back, destroying his ribs, lungs, and heart.

Kai: - That was lovely. - He said cynically. - A noble sacrifice for a noble cause. - Kai's teasing made Po lose his mind. - And all for what? So that you send me to the spiritual realm? How pathetic. -

Po's body began to react in a strange way. His muscles contracted violently, and he managed to stand up with his back to Kai. Viper, who was right next to him, looked in terror at the expression that Po had on his face.

Po turned around slowly, and even Kai felt a small jolt in his chest. Po's face was literally terrifying. His mouth did not move, but his eyes were wide open and his pupils were extremely contracted, making small black dots in a crimson sea produced by the capillaries of his eyes.

Po: - I can't send you to the spiritual realm, but I can take you there. - He said with a voice taken from the worst nightmares.

Kai was stunned at Po's words, and had no time to react as the panda charged head-on, hitting him in less than the blink of an eye. Kai thought that Po was going to hit him head on, so he put one of his swords right in the middle. But at the last moment, Po veered to his side, jumped up grabbing Kai's neck as if to strangle him and grabbed his own hand with the Wuxi Fingerkey.

Po: - Skipdoosh -

By applying the technique itself on himself, an energy sphere and peach petals started to emanate from the ground. Kai knew what was happening and tried to break free, but Po's hold was unbreakable, even as his head was bleeding after taking a sharp blow from one of Kai's horns.

Viper: - Po! - I screamed desperately, just to see as Po and Kai vanished right in front of his eyes, leaving a Yin and Yang symbol formed by the peach petals.

Po and Kai were still inside the ball of energy and petals, but when it dissipated, they both shot off in opposite directions. Kai landed on one of the floating rocks in the spirit world. Seeing that he had returned, his anger began to consume him. His skin began totear apart, and the strips began to float around her green silhouette of miasma and rot.

Kai: - No! - He yelled angrily. With a horrible and disfigured face.

Kai looked around angrily looking for Po,but when he saw it, he was no longer the panda he had faced in the mortal world.

Po was distant from him, standing motionless on another of the rocks that floated freely in the spirit world. But something was not right. His body did not have any color, it was instead, a black silhouette of which emanates tiny droplets of a viscous plasma that seemed to absorb any light that came near it. The only thing that stood out were his red eyes with the pupils contracted beyond power, and behind him, several deformed heads of pandas that roared loudly and rumbled in the silent spiritual realm. An image as frightening as death itself.

Po: -Ka...i. - He said with a gloomy voice, as if his soul had been possessed by the devil.
