Kung Fu Panda 4 (rewritten)

Her Last Day on the Throne.

All of Nanzhou was in turmoil. Citizens were gathered at the statue, chattering and clamoring as some citizens even got physical with each other, which were mostly the three bunnies pulling the ears of the monkey twins.

They growled and gibbered like that for a while, even when Tigress, Tai Lung, Daiyu and Zhen arrived at the scene with much struggle.

"Hey! Listen up, everybody!" Zhen shouted, squirming through the crowd and jumped on top of the pedestal of the statue to get everyone's attention.

No matter how much she called for their attention, none of them gave it to her. Just as she was about to take in a deep breath and let out the loudest scream she had ever let out, Tigress stepped up and roared.

"Hey! Shut your mouths and listen up!"

Everyone froze in terror, including her friends. But slowly, the people shifted their attention to Zhen, who gave Tigress a small smile.

"Thank you." Zhen thanked her, before turning to the citizens. "The Dragon Warrior's in trouble."

"The panda?" Han scoffed, stepping out of the crowd. "Of course, he is. I knew it was only a matter of time."

"Okay, that doesn't matter. What matters is that my friend's in trouble and he needs help. So, I need yours." Zhen said.

"Why should we help you?" Han asked, his arms up in a questioning manner.

"Because... because." Zhen stammered, before finally finding the words she never thought she'd say. "It's the right thing to do."

Zhen could feel the burn of everyone's eyes fixating on her as she waited for them to say something. Tigress, Tai Lung and Daiyu, but mostly Daiyu, could feel her pounding heart from a couple of feet away.

The citizens murmured all sorts of things to each other, shared reluctant facial expressions and shook their heads in discontent. Han frowned with disapproval.

"So now that you're no longer useful to that slimy warmonger, no longer valuable, you wanna do the right thing? That sounds almost too good to be true." Han spat.

Everyone nodded in agreement, not believing Zhen's words even one bit. Zhen watched as things started to become more heated, with citizens raising their voices at her and even hurling insults at her. Tigress and Tai Lung were about to step in, but Daiyu held up her arm and stopped them.

Instead, she walked up to the front of the statue while Zhen still stood on the pedestal, looking down at the crowd as she listened to Daiyu speak her mind.

"How do you think we're going to win like this? Forget Zhen, this is bigger than her. Like it or not, we're in this mess together. And if we don't do something right now, that mess will become so much worse than ever before! If my mother was still here, she'd be heartbroken at what her home had become, at what her people had become."

That immediately grabbed everyone's attention, even that of her aunt and father.

"The Chameleon poisoned and broke a connection that lasted centuries, turned Topside against us, stripped us of our freedom and dignity and ultimately destroyed balance itself here. All because you rightfully refused to partake in her twisted viewpoint and senseless undertaking." Daiyu sighed deeply, taking a moment, before continuing. "I know you think it might be pointless to keep fighting after hitting rock bottom over and over again for 25 years without any positive result, but there's still a chance to make a difference and this is our chance, but it's either now or never."

Han gazed at the ground, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked around him and analyzed the faces of every citizen. Each of them letting Daiyu's words sink into their minds.
