"Po, what are you doing?" Tigress asked.
"Don't worry, I've got th-..." Po cried out in pain as a pair of cuffs got slapped around his wrists.
"No way. Eight-point acupressure cuffs? Just like the ones that held Tai Lung! The more you move, the tighter they get!" Po rambled, until a wolf soldier hooked his cuffs on a pole and yanked him off his feet, dragging him forward.
"These are the best cuffs."
They were all being lead across the palace courtyard with the soldiers pointing their spears at them to keep them from making sudden movements, although the tight cuffs most likely prevented them from doing so already.
"I hope this turns out better than your plan to cook rice in your stomach by eating it raw and then drinking boiling water." Tigress mumbled to Po.
"This plan is nothing like that plan." Po replied.
"How?" Tigress asked agitated.
"'Cause this one's going to work." Po replied, until he suddenly lost his footing. Now they all quickly saw that he had stumbled on the edge of a huge crater... with Thundering Rhino's damaged hammer standing on the other end like a macabre memorial. The warriors stared in horror as Boss Wolf mockingly patted the hammer's staff, chuckling.
"Keep moving."
The warriors narrowed their eyes as they got escorted inside the tower, where Po spotted something in front of him.
"Ah, my old enemy." Po began, gazing up at an enormous staircase leading all the way to the top.
"Stairs."
"I guess you won't be walking all the way up there yourself, huh?" Daiyu muttered, kicking one of the wolf soldiers in the face after he repeatedly kept poking her with his spear.
"Nope."
It didn't take long for Po to already drop to the ground, wheezing and panting after only walking two flights. That was until the gorilla picked him up and carried him on his back like a sack of rice.
And for the rest of the way up, all that was heard were grunting and thundering steps. After many more flights, they finally reached the top of the stairs and the gorilla flung Po on the floor while Boss Wolf and the other warriors followed up from behind.
"Thanks for carrying me those last few flights." Po thanked the gorilla as Tigress helped him back up whilst Shen and the Soothsayer looked at them in astonishment.
Boss Wolf kept pointing his spear at Tigress, who then kicked it out of his hands and into a pillar.
"I threw up a little on the third floor, someone might want to clean that up. Is there some sort of evil janitor or somethin'?" Po asked, Lord Shen spoke.
"Greetings, panda! We meet at-..."
"Hey, how you doin'?" Po interrupted him, catching Shen off guard.
"Uh..."
Soothsayer approached Po and gently poked his belly with her cane.
"You've grown bigger than I thought." She spoke, examining the panda, peering inside a confused Po's ear.
"Strong."
And then opened his mouth.
"Healthy."
"Look, I don't know who you are, but please step aside, sir." Po said.
"That's a lady." Viper whispered, Po then took a double take.
