The next day, Shifu and The Six made their way back to the Jade Palace after another one of their little gossip party and just as they were about to enter, one of them heard and saw a loud commotion happening inside.
Yelling, grunting and things falling over.
"I wouldn't like to know what's happening in there, yet I still see the whole thing." Daiyu said.
"I guess it's Po." Viper replied, Mantis snorted.
"What in the world is he doing in there?"
"I'm still recovering from yesterday's training session and I'm not eager to find out what's happening inside." Crane mumbled.
But he and the others entered anyway. Only to see all sorts of weapons and relics scattered across the floor of the Hall of Warriors. Everything was a total mess. And there was Po, standing there awkwardly as someone else wore Master Flying Rhino's armor and was continuously ramming and head-butting into Po.
Po kept trying to shush him and make him stop as he whisper-shouted.
"Master Rhino!"
The person immediately stopped when he spotted the group as he threw an iron ball with spikes over his back, shattering the Urn of Whispering Warriors into pieces that was displayed behind them.
Shifu and the Six stared in shock and didn't know what to say. To say that they were not happy would be an understatement.
"Hello." The person greeted.
"Guys, guys. You're never gonna guess who just showed up. Not in a million years. You... you just try!" Po encouraged them as the person wearing the armor took off his helmet and revealed himself to be a much older panda.
"Your father!" They all answered in unison.
"Whoa! How did you just guess that? Oh, wait a second. Yeah, of course. We look exactly the same." Po smiled, his arms wrapped around his father.
"Dad, say hi to my friends. Mantis, Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Daiyu and Viper. Guys, say hi to my dad, Li Shan. You can call him Li though." Po smiled as Li shook each of their hand, introducing themselves to one another.
"Viper, was it?" Li asked, looking at Monkey.
"Monkey, sir." Monkey replied.
"They're kind of my best friends. And this... this is Master Shifu. Legend." Po introduced Li to Shifu, who stepped over the mini helmets.
"Uh... it is an honor to meet you, Master Panda. Perhaps your father would care to join his in the training hall. Your son will be teaching the class." Shifu suggested.
Just at him mentioning Po's teachings made the Six back away in fear, except for Tigress and Daiyu. That made Po want to avoid it. Li seemed to be curious, but Po quickly put the helmet back on his father's face.
"I'm sure he's tired. I'm sure you're tired. He's tired. I'm gonna show him to the a Chrysanthemum Suite." Po offered, trying to drag Li with him.
"What, tired? No, I'm fine. I would love to watch you teach." Li shook his head, pulling Po back.
"Trust me, It'll be more fun just to watch me-..."
The sound of a gong suddenly came from down below the mountain. That could only mean one thing.
"Fight!"
"What is that?" Li asked.
"The Valley's under attack." Tigress said as she, Shifu and the others ran down the mountain towards the village.
