Kung Fu Panda: Crane x Snow Leopard OC

KFP3: The Plan.

It was early in the morning and most of the pandas were still restless. Daiyu's injuries had to be taken care of first as she needed all her energy to heal Tigress. Most of it had been quickly regained, but she still needed to be careful.

The little pandas looked impressed as they watched Daiyu heal Tigress's wounds with her healing abilities and even asked her to teach them.

"Sorry, kids. But this isn't worth wasting your energy on and it isn't nearly as impressive as chi. You're still young, so you should play and run." Daiyu said as she and Tigress stepped outside.

"Where's Po?" Tigress asked.

Daiyu pointed to the right on a high wooden standard, where Po was sparring on a wooden dummy that closely resembled Kai.

"I bet he's been there all night training nonstop." Daiyu replied.

They both walked up to the wooden standard as Po kept kicking and punching the dummy.

"Please, it'll be pointless by the time Kai arrives here." Daiyu started, leaning against the wooden fence.

Po was getting close to collapse as he panted heavily. Just as he was about to throw another punch, Tigress grabbed his fist and stopped him.

"This isn't going to work." Tigress spoke firmly.

"It has to." Po replied.

"You're not thinking straight." Tigress stated.

"I am!" Po replied stubbornly, until both of them started to spat and argue at the same time.

"You're not."

"I am!"

"No."

"Yes, I am."

"No."

"We've seen Kai. We've seen what he can do." Tigress said.

"But he hasn't seen what I can do." Po said, jumping over Tigress and grabbing her finger, lifting up his pinky.

"The Wuxi Finger Hold?" Tigress asked.

"It's my best move. I just have to get to Kai, grab his finger and then skadoosh! Back to the Spirit Realm." Po explained as if it were that simple, then Tigress grabbed his finger and twisted his hand, making Po squirm.

"He has an army of jade warriors. Everything they see, he sees. So there's no sneaking up on him. You will never get close enough." Tigress said, having Po pinned to the ground.

"It's gonna work!" Po argued as he tried to get up and fight Tigress, only to get shoved back to the ground and be held down by Tigress's foot.

"He can only be stopped by a true master of chi." Tigress stated, Po then got up.

"Oh, you sound just like Shifu with the, "Chi, chi, chi." "Chi this. Chi that." "Chi, chi, chi!" I'm not a master of chi, okay? I don't know if I'm the Dragon Warrior. I don't even know if I'm a panda! I don't know who I am!" Po shouted. He then sighed deeply as he ran his hands down his face.

"You're right. There's no way I can stop him and his army."

"So, what now? We're the only ones left standing between him and conquering China." Daiyu spoke.

All was quiet, before someone spoke up.

"You are not alone. You might have an army of your own."

They turned their heads to see Li stepping out of the fog as he hold his hat, looking as caring as always.

"You?" Po asked, Li shook his head.

"Not just me."

Then Mr. Ping appeared from behind Li.

"Us."

"All of us." Li Shan nodded, gesturing behind him as the entire panda village appeared out of the fog as well.

"I finally found my son, after all these years. It's going to take a lot more than the end of the world to keep us apart." Li spoke.

"But you don't even know kung fu." Po replied.

"Then you will teach us." Li insisted.

"What? I can't teach you kung fu. I couldn't even teach Tigress and Daiyu. And they already know kung fu!" Po argued, to which Tigress and Daiyu nodded in agreement.

Li seemed unsure, yet he tried to stay strong.

"Po, I know I'm the last guy you wanna trust right now. But you gotta believe me. We can do this. We can learn kung fu. We can be just like you!"

"What did you just say?" Po suddenly asked.

"Uh... "We can do this"?" Li guessed.

"No!" Po shook his head.

""We can learn kung fu"?"

"After that!"

"Uh... "We can be just like you"?"

"Yes!" Po cackled.

"We can?" Li smiled hopefully.

"No! You can't! But you don't have to be! That's what Shifu meant. I don't have to turn you into me. I have to turn you into you!" Po exclaimed happily as Li and Mr. Ping glanced at each other in confusion.

"That doesn't make any sense." Mr. Ping replied.

"I know! Thanks, Dads." Po thanked them, hugging them both tightly.

"You're welcome?" They replied in unison, still as confused as Po then pulled away from them.

"I'm gonna do something I never thought I'd be able to do. I'm gonna teach kung fu." Po spoke confidently as all the pandas followed him and got to work.

Po's way of teaching kung fu was rather questionable to the two warriors, since both of them were used to the strict training sessions they've always done. It was overall confusing for them.

Right now, Po was gazing down at the whole village practicing and training for when Kai arrived, to distract the Jombies and do the Wuxi Finger Hold on Kai to send him back to the Spirit Realm.

"They are ready."

With the little panda girl on her back, Tigress raised an eyebrow as she asked.

"What?"

"The heck?" Daiyu nodded.

After that, everyone gathered around as Po was explaining the plan and the strategies to the pandas as Daiyu was silently praying in her mind, her hand clutched on her chest.

She stopped when she felt Tigress put her hand on her shoulder.

"Are you sure you're up to this? Is your leg okay?" Tigress asked, glancing down at Daiyu's bandage-wrapped leg as Daiyu nodded.

"Yes. I mean, what choice do we have?"

"I just want you to be careful and not lose focus. I know you miss Crane, but right about now they're not our friends. They've become Kai's slaves." Tigress reminded her, Daiyu nodded.

"I just never expected to fight my own boyfriend and now here we are, battling against each other."

"We'll get them back. I don't know how, but we will get them back." Tigress promised her.
