Strength In Unity

Chapter 10: Training

Lining up in a straight row, much like the five did as they waited for their turn in sparring matches, all the wolves including Kurishu stood before master Shifu and the dragon warrior with the five. The grandmaster looked at all the soldiers before him, standing patiently, eager to act but ready to listen. He turned to Kurishu who nodded for him to begin.

"You will be paired off in twos, after today all of you will have sparred and learned from my students, while you are uneducated in forms of Kung Fu, the dragon warrior and even several of my students have stressed the current necessity for you all to be able to defend and work together as a team...alongside us." Several black furred faces looked at one another as the announcement was made,

They would be trained by the infamous furious five.

Many excited barks sounded as the pack felt their desire to start immediately set in, a few bracing to launch into an attack but remained still as the boss wolf held his fist in the air, no one would move just yet. The room silenced once more and the master continued.

"we will begin with a mere display of you're knowledge of attacks, you will face the five as you have in the past but you will be unarmed." He said, this earning a loud groan amongst the crowd until the boss wolf barked to quiet them. Po, while still bandaged up stood with the five and began to move into a battle stance when he saw Shifu shake his head.

"No Po you must stand with me." With his face falling, the panda pouted his way over to his master's side, muttering several small complaints that his master chose to ignore. As the wolves got into position, breaking into groups of five and standing in lines behind each other, the five took their place and struck a battle pose, inviting them into a world of pain.

All was still as the two groups eyed each other as the grandmaster held his fingers in the air, the wolf boss standing beside him and Po.

Then...

*Snap* *ROUFF*

The two groups clashed into one another, each wolf started off from a crouched position on all fours, launching into the five from different angles at the same time. Each student reacted in a different motion, as one came at Tigress, she stepped to the side and while bringing her paw down on the wolf's neck, her other paw lifted the wolf's back legs and flung him spinning into the wall.

Viper shot into the air as her attacker leaped toward her, just missing her tail with his paws. Crashing to the floor, he then felt the strike of the snake's punishing tail as it cracked him above his spine through his fur, forcing a yelp of surprise from him. Monkey braced for the wolf coming at him and made a move to roll to the side yet the wolf was faster, sliding into him as if he were an all star baseball player sliding into home plate, rocking forward to land a punch to the languor's chin, knocking him back. As he was knocked off balance the wolf took his chance slammed his fists down onto his back and dropped the master.

Mantis grabbed his opponent's paw and leaped up, kicking the wolf in the muzzle and then getting smacked away by him when he clutched his nose, ducking as the bug aimed a high flying kick toward his midsection, hopping back on his two feet and then attempting to headbutt the insect yet missing by a few feet, earning his ears pulled and releasing a howl of pain.

Crane's victim was fairing none the better, trying to intercept the bird as he made dive after dive toward the wolf, aiming a kick to sweep the canine's legs out from underneath him. He'd missed the first time, however the wolf had not been prepared for the recourse and repeated action, falling back onto his fluffy tail and rolling over to Master Shifu.

The wolf Boss pinched the bridge of his nose and winced as every strike was landed onto his pack, each one worse then the last, frustrating the leader greatly.
