Third person pov

Tai Lung narrows his amber like eyes in concentration, he flicks the goose feather through the maze like lock with little difficulty. His ears perk as a click sounds, giving him a taste of freedom. He hits it one last time and it clicks again. The jade dragons screw loose, allowing him to breathe properly for the first time in forever. He breathes deeply savouring the air.

His claws unsheathe from his paws and he groans, not use to the feeling. He cracks his knuckles, which make loud pops from not being moved in so long. He arches his back determined to get the stupid shell off his back and it shoots off after little effort. He collapsed on the ground without it making him stay in that awful position. A loud alarm blared warning the guards of the escapee and the Commander runs to the ledge of the platform with wide eyes

"Oh no!" The commander yelled out in shock, Zeng rushes over and looks over the edge scared

"What's happening!?" Zeng shouted panicking, looking at the commander for some sort of answer

"To your battle stations! Go! Go! Go" the rhino commanded down to the other guards. The guards immediately started running into their positions quickly preparing for Tai Lung. Tai Lung got up recovering from the stiffness in his body, managing to lift two massive boulders enough that he could kneel. He opens his amber eyes once again and snarled. With difficulty he managed to stand up fully and look up at what he has to face

"Fire crossbows!" The lead rhino commanded and without second thought the rhinos on the crossbows shot at Tai Lung with Spear sized ammo. Tai Lung huffed angrily letting out a slight growl "fire!" The commander yelled down.

The crossbow was once again shot and Tai Lung quickly put the handcuff connecting him to the boulder in front of the spear, making sparks fly and the cuff and boulder fall. One of the rhinos gasped while one slapped his hoof over his mouth at their mistake. Tai Lung hooked his claws under the second cuff snapping it with ease

"Tai Lung is free!" Zeng shouted terrified "I must warn Shifu!" He shouted desperate to get out of the prison. Zeng ran in a circle and tried to run off but the commander rhino crabbed Zeng's neck swiftly

"You're not going anywhere! Neither is he!" The rhino said throwing a tantrum and scared of what Shifu would do if he found out Tai Lung escaped under his watch

"Let go of me!" Zeng shouted slapping at the rhino's hoof. The rhino simply ignored Zeng's demand

"Bring it up!" He shouted with an up gesture. The rhinos quickly reeled up the chain elevator leaving two rhinos stranded below

"Wait!" One rhino shouted with a voice crack obviously afraid of Tai Lung

"Bring it back!" The other rhino shouted trying to jump to be lifted up but failed. The stranded rhinos tried to shoot at Tai Lungs back, but Tai Lung turned around swiftly hitting the spear in the air masterfully with the palm of his paw making the pointed end face towards the crossbow. Tai Lung swiftly jumped kicking the end of the spear making it shoot and destroy the crossbow.

Getting an idea, Tai Lung's tail twitches and he started pulling out the spears that were shot into the ground throwing them in the air in the same manner as the other spear. He once again kicked them making them stick into the walls making a way up from the deep prison.

"He's coming this way!" Zeng cried scared

"He won't get far! Archers!" The commander called. Tai Lung used the last spear in the ground as a bounce getting him to the spears he shot into the wall. Tai Lung leapt across the spears quickly, he caught the elevator as the hundreds of arrows flew down past him.

The guards cut the rope and the elevator crashed back down to the bottom of the pit. The two rhinos clink their axes together thinking they defeated Tai Lung only to have him swing up from the bottom of the elevator house and catch them by surprise. He grabs the chain and jumps over the edge and swings around, launching himself up to the next tier, disappearing into the shadows. Tai Lung landed on a bridge with rhinos crowding it, he fought through the herd annoyed. He finally reached the top tier where the Commander and the rest of the Rhino army await.

"We're dead. So very, very dead" Zeng said sadly closing his eyes. The Commander hushed the Goose swiftly

"Heh heh...not yet we're not!" The commander said to Zeng confidently "Now!" He yelled, archers set off  explosives connected to giant spikes on the cave roof which crashed down and make the bridge crumble. Tai Lung leaps swiftly across the crumbling debris and attempts one last huge jump towards the Commander rhino. But he falls short, claws scraping and sparking against the cave wall. The Commander laughs insanely.
         
On his way down, Tai Lung looked up and saw a fuse burning down to the last bunch of explosives. He leapt across the raining debris up to the ceiling of the cavern. Grabbing a hold of the dynamite, Tai Lung falls and slings it ahead of him at the guards.

"Can we run now?" Zeng asked gulping with wide eyes

"Yes." The commander squeaked, the explosives go off and in a massive blast the doors of the prison blow off their hinges and rhinos went flying everywhere into the cold snow.

Zeng hit the ground harshly and he let out a sigh of smoke. The commander's horn  cover fell in front of him. Making Zeng look at it terrified. Zeng coughs and squeaks trying to get up to warn Shifu quickly before Tai Lung picked him up by the throat making Zeng struggle slightly

"I'm glad Shifu sent you" Tai Lung said almost tenderly "I was beginning to think I had been forgotten" he stated flattening Zeng's feathers on his head which had been ruffled

"Fly back there and tell them...the real Dragon Warrior is coming home" he said leaning his face closer to Zeng. Tai Lung threw the Goose into the air and Zeng fluttered off. Thinking about how lucky he was to not of been killed. Tai Lung smirked ready to get revenge on this new dragon warrior, Shifu and Oogway. Lightning strikes behind him making his shadow bigger and Tia Lung smirks

"They'll pay" he said glaring at the flying goose
