Kung Fu Panda Fanfic - The Rise of a Hero

(IX) The Chameleon

Po: - So you are the famous Chameleon. -

Chameleon: - I see that I don't need introductions, great Dragon Warrior. Just as I see that you have already met my protégé. - He said while pointing to Zhen.

Po: - Yes... Ya... We met before. -

Then Zhen turned around, her head lowered hidden inside her hood, unable to tell if it was out of fear of the Chameleon or out of shame for herself. Then, he offered the staff to the reptile.

Zhen: - Here you are... Miss Gongzhu. -

Gongzhu: - Ah... perfect... Very good job, apprentice... Very good job.

With an act of complete submission, Zhen bowed before the one now known as Gongzhú and handed her the Staff of Wisdom, who accepted it without hesitation.

Gongzhu: - Finally... Now I have the power to fulfill my destiny. -

Po: - Let me guess... You're going to conquer China and all that. -

Gongzhu: - What makes you think that? -

Po: - I don't know... You want wealth, power. You have an army at your disposal... It's pretty sketchy if you ask my opinion. -

Gongzhu: - Make no mistake, panda. Don't compare me to Lord Shen. I don't have those intentions. -

Po: - No? And why do you demand so many tributes then? -

Gongzhu: - Keeping an army and the corrupt politicians of this city happy is not something that can be achieved with charity alone. But I think you're getting confused, panda... Why don't you... let me tell you a story. -

(Sorry for the video is in Spanish)

Gongzhú: - I will teach those bastards... I will show them the true power of magic, and that their pathetic Kung Fu is useless before me. -

Po: - And all this... ¨game of falcedades¨... Why? Why so much effort to bring me here? -

Gongzhu: - Well... Your presence here is nothing more than an unforeseen event. The truth is that I only needed the staff to accomplish my task, but I understand that Zhen could not accomplish such a task alone... On the other hand... Since you are here... You will be the perfect guinea pig to make my point... .when I end your life. -

Po: - Well... If you're so desperate to see how pathetic your magic is... Why don't you free me and we'll find out? - But such a comment only caused the chameleon to laugh.

Gongzhu: - No no. I am very aware of my abilities, and I will not underestimate the Dragon Warrior, nor any warrior in this world. For that... I must get stronger. And I already know how to do it. -

Po: - Something tells me that I don't want to hear the answer. -

Gongzhú: - Now that I have the key to the spirit world in my hands, I will use my magic to claim the power of every dead master before me. I will be... invincible. -

The chameleon's sentence ended in a single laugh, which lasted longer than Po would have wanted, yet the panda seemed to pay little or almost no attention to him, as he was more focused on finding an answer in Zhen's face. But she was unable to even look him in the eyes.

Po: - Do you know...? I have never understood why you villains always want to tell me your evil plans... It's very corny. -

Gongzhu: - What are you...? -
