"I need your full attention. The Iron Samara is a move that requires focus and concentration. So if you don't want to get hurt, pay attention." Shifu spoke, his students standing in a line in the training yard as Po was just twirling around on one foot and Crane was staring off into space at the ground.
"Crane, Po." Shifu spoke, trying to get their attention as well.
"Be right with ya, stepped on a dumpling." Po replied, trying to lick the dumpling off his foot, but he ended up falling over.
Shifu sighed deeply.
"You two will go last."
The other five bowed to Shifu as they moved to their positions. Tigress and Monkey faced each other before performing the Iron Samara. Near them, a training dummy suddenly rose from the ground. Tigress ran towards Monkey, who then flung her at the dummy.
With Tigress in midair, she shattered the dummy with a single kick. Tigress and Monkey ultimately succeeded in performing the Iron Samara.
"Very good." Shifu said as he then watched Viper and Mantis also successfully perform the Iron Samara.
"Excellent."
Shortly after, Po ran towards Crane, who held up his wings in an apathetic manner and just sighed as he stared into nothingness. Po jumped into the air with no resistance from Crane. Po then fell and crashed out of the courtyard. Yelling and grunting painfully, Po bounced down the stairs as the others were getting back in line. Crane simply remained on the same spot, looking down as Shifu scolded him.
"Crane. If you'd done that in combat, someone could have gotten hurt!"
"Someone did!" Po yelled from down below. Crane suddenly snapped.
"Someone always gets hurt! Kung fu isn't safe! It's just like my-..." Crane stopped himself as he then said. "Like, someone said."
The others stared at him in shock and confusion as Crane then turned around and looked back at them.
"I have to go."
Shifu was baffled as Crane headed towards the training yard's door.
"What? Where?"
By the time Crane was near the door, Po had already come back climbing the stairs back up as he panted heavily and stumbled towards the door.
"I'm resigning from the Furious Five." Crane said, pushing the door open and accidentally hitting Po in the face with it.
"Ow!"
"Crane." Daiyu pled, but Crane ignored them as he had his back turned to them and said.
"Goodbye, everyone. Forever." And with that, he flew away, leaving everyone confused and without any clear answers to Crane's troubles.
"What's-... did he just-... Crane!" Po called for him, but it was pointless.
"What has gotten into him?" Daiyu asked .
"No idea." Po answered.
"I think you two should go after him and find out what this is all about." Shifu suggested. The two of them nodded and walked down the stairs to find Crane.
"Oh, we'll definitely find out. Crane should know that he can just talk to us if something's bothering him." Daiyu said, Po nodded.
"Yeah, you're his best friend." Then Po mouthed. "Maybe more than that."
"What?" Daiyu asked.
"Nothing!" Po quickly replied. "I mean, he knows he can trust you, so I don't see any reason why he'd hide something from you."
