Kung Fu Panda 4: Conquest

Retreat

What Po absolutely did not want to happen - happened. Po's two fathers came bursting in from the great gates, wearing rather familiar armor."DOUBLE-DAD DEFENSE!" both yelled at the same time, lashing out at the villagers around Po."Dads! What did I tell you?! Po yelled, glaring at them, what wasn't supposed to happen, happened, and Po couldn't do anything about it. If Huang sees them, then.. then he might... Po didn't even want to think the thought, he shook his head to clear his thoughts and continued to stare at his two fathers.

"We're not going to leave you here to die!" the goose yelled, hitting a villager with a wok."I can handle myself!" Po shouted back. "I don't need your help! Nobody does!" he continued, without thinking about what he had just said. The goose dropped the wok and looked at his son in disbelief. "W-what did you just say?" asked the goose."I said that-" Po began. "oh.. uhh... forgive me dads, I just," he continued. "We're no help are we?" Mr. Ping interrupted, looking sadly at his son, fighting mind-manipulated villagers alone."Forgive me again, but can you just, go? I don't want you to get into anything dangerous." Po explained, tripping a villager who tried to attack him from behind. The goose sighed and jumped down on the ground next to Li Shan. "Come on Li, we're going." he said.

*yelling*Po looked up at the castle in horror and saw a purple light lighting up the sky above.Li Shan and Mr. Ping looked up at the same time and also noticed the light."On my way!" Po yelled to his dads, pushing them away a little."The dragon warrior will take care of this." Po assured himself and forced his way through the villagers, he pulled out of the cluster with all his might and caught sight of the stairs.The dragon warrior quickly started running up the stairs, hoping to save the Five and Shifu.Both fathers remained looking at their son who was busy with the stairs. The panda and the goose looked at each other at the same time, and smiled. Both knew what they wanted to do now. The goose jumped onto the panda and hit the rest of the villagers with wok pans and kitchen utensils.

Po ran at full speed up towards the castle, just as he had begun to catch sight of the gate, Huang flew out with the Five, including Shifu, in a purple ball of dark magic.The panda looked in horror at his friends who were floating in the bubble without the slightest control of themselves.Huang laughed and looked at the panda standing below."What are you going to do now, dragon warrior? I have ALL your friends, in this nice, little, bubble." Huang said, peering into the bubble. "It's like you almost want to keep it.""And then it seems I've hit the jackpot, not only did I find your friends, but my villagers down there got to see two very nice creatures." he said, looking down the stairs. Po watched his movements and noticed that he raised his other arm. Po began to hyperventilate as he realized what was coming next.

"I caught your two dads. Hmm.. two dads, that's weird." Huang continued, lifting both of Po's dads into another bubble.Huang now lifted two bubbles, and both contain individuals very close to Po. The leopard slowly moved its arms, and thus the bubbles, from the edge of the stairs. Both bubbles now floated over a precipice of over a hundred meters.

"I'll give you a choice, panda." he began, glaring down at Po aggressively. "You choose which bubble to save." he continued, smiling."Your fathers, or your friends of the oh so mighty Jade Palace." he said. "And don't even think about attacking me, then both of them will go."

Po was left with a dilemma. What would he do now? If he saves his fathers, the Five and Shifu die. If he saves them instead, his father dies. And he couldn't attack Huang, then everyone dies."Isn't there another way?" Po asked, staring up at the levitating leopard."Hehe.. Well.. It does." he replied. "If you submit yourself to my rule, I will spare your friends, and fathers."Po was horrified, he looked sadly at his fathers, who stared back, even sadder. He looked at his friends, Shifu's ears were down, Monkey's face was completely upside down. Viper no longer had the same old friendly smile she always used to wear. Mantis was hard to see, but Po could make out what appeared to be a sad face. Crane looked strange.Huang noticed Po's staring at the Crane. "Why the strange face?" he asked."I can escape-" he began but stopped just as quickly. "I shouldn't have said that..." said Crane and began to prepare for the worst."Fly?" Huang asked. "Oh yes, I forgot. Might as well paralyze your wings." Huang said, making a motion with his fingers.Crane started screaming in pain as he felt his wings lose the ability to move."STOP!" Po shouted."What are you going to do..? I think this is fun." Huang joked.
