Kung Fu Panda 4 (rewritten)

The Tippy Tavern.

It was already sundown and they had yet to reach their destination. Only one thing kept them from losing any more hope. It was only one boat ride and they'll arrive within a few hours. For days, they've accused Zhen of lying about the place where they were going to, that she was either trying to be funny or deceitful. They did decide to give it a shot, since Daiyu was their only reliable source.

This place was called Juniper City.

"Juniper City." Zhen told them.

Everyone, except Tai Lung and Daiyu, grasped it and shook their heads.

"Juniper City." Zhen repeated again, same thing happened again.

"Juniper City!" Zhen repeated louder.

"Repeating it doesn't help." Po stopped Zhen, before turning to Daiyu. "But there used to be rumors of people receiving urgent letters about a war at a port city at the east coast and when they went out with their forces, there was no city."

"Wait, what?" Daiyu cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Po nodded. "Everyone thought it was a joke, so they didn't bother coming, even when they got flooded with thousands of those letters."

"Did they had sand in their eyes or something?" Daiyu asked.

"Zhen, I have no idea how you don't know this already, but we have never heard of it as far as we can remember, we never had any contact with it and we had never committed any act of injustice against it." Tigress clarified, looking at Zhen.

"That's what every outsider told me! And that's what you kept telling me all day long and the days before. I'm telling you, it's real. I'm talking 'bout the most beautiful, successful and diverse city all of China has ever seen!" Zhen almost yelled at them.

"Then tell us why we should believe you." Po spoke. "And why Daiyu might be wrong."

"Our old leader never cared about us and cared more about some underground city that didn't even need his help that much." Zhen started. "Not to mention they were way richer than Juniper City ever was and never planned on sharing any of their riches and stuff and anything else they kept for themselves."

"An underground city?" Po asked. "Whoa!"

"Yeah." Zhen nodded. "But okay. The outside world once brought war to us and The Chameleon stepped up and ended it when our old leader didn't and when he died, she stepped up as its rightful leader after he and the council, who were all amateurs by the way, kept ignoring her demands for action and equality."

"Stop talking nonsense, kid." Daiyu told Zhen.

"I'm not talkin' nonsense!" Zhen answered. "You're all just so gullible, you all just blindly believe the blind bat here calling The Chameleon a tyrannical dictator without any prove. Okay, The Chameleon might've done some shady stuff in the past, like gambling, but she's not someone with malicious intentions."

"How is kidnapping our master not maliciously intende-..."

Zhen didn't even let Daiyu finish as she then said nonchalantly.

"I already know what you're gonna say, so don't even bother. But you guys seriously just need to get out more often. Just sayin'."

"So this Juniper City was your pitstop?" Po asked Daiyu. "Why did you never tell us before?"

"Slipped my mind." Daiyu replied. "And would you have believed me if I'd told you about a city that's being dominated by a shapeshifting sorceress, let alone one you don't think actually exists?"

"Okay. Fair enough." Po mumbled. "And I didn't say that."

"Well, I can tell you, I can think of a lot more places that are exactly like that. Beautiful and successful." Mantis commented.
