In the snowy mountains of China lies Chorh-Gom Prison, the ultimate prison for the worst of worst. The whole place is guarded by 1,000 guards of rhinos. Zeng is seen flying right to the prison and manages to land without any problems, other than catching his breath due to flying straight from the Jade Palace. He makes it to the door and the guards aim their weapons at the unidentified intruder.

Zeng: Now, hold on guy. Master Shifu wanted me to deliver this message to Vachir.

The rhinos relaxed and within minutes the doors to the prison were opened and Zheng was escorted inside, surrounded on all ends by walls of stone. Zeng makes sure the message is received to a shirtless rhino with his horn facing forward.

Vachir: WHAT?! 'Double the guards? Extra precautions? Your prison may not be adequate?" You doubt my prison's security?

Vachir: WHAT?! 'Double the guards? Extra precautions? Your prison may not be adequate?" You doubt my prison's security?

Zeng: No I don't.

But before he could say anything else, one of the rhinos tries to poke Zeng with their spear to make him fear them. But Zeng quickly grabs the spear and sweeps the guard's legs with it, making said guard fall flat on his back while Zeng stands on his stomach and aims the spear at the guard's head.

Zeng: Word of advice, don't kill the messenger, or the messenger will kill you.

Vachir: I was not expecting that.

Zeng: Master Lion thought that we should learn to defend ourselves, so he taught us to fight in self defense.

Vachir: While I'll give credit where it's due, I'll also give you a message for your Master Shifu.

Vachir began to shepherd Zheng across the massive stone catwalk leading further into the prison.

Vachir: Escape from Chorh-Gom prison is impossible!

Zheng looked in awe around the expansive prison, before peering over the edge of the catwalk. Aside from the connecting threads of the other bridges further down, there was no visible ground below them. Everything seemed to be consumed by the all-encompassing void below them. Zeng then let out a sudden squawk as Vachir's meaty hand slapped him on the back, caching him off guard and letting a feather fall lose, which began to gently glide into the abyss below.

Zeng: Really?!

Vachir: Sorry, couldn't help myself. But he place is impressive isn't.

Zeng: I'll agree on that.

The two began to advance further whilst Vachir continued to gloat, He then gestures to all of his men stationed at any and all potential exit points.

Vachir: One way in. One way out. One thousand guards, and one prisoner.

Zeng: Yeah, but that prisoner happens to be Tai Lung himself.

The two finally reached a pulley-based elevator, before Vachir gave the order to have the both of them lowered towards the cell block. When they finally reached the bottom, Zheng was directed to set of armoured doors, that began to painfully open, one after the other. As the final door began to slowly lower, creating a bridge to a small, circular island in the centre of the pitch-black void. The figure was hunched over, allowing no characteristics to be discerned.
