First Power

Legend of the Otherworld - Chapter 1 - New power  

All the humans slowly began introducing themselves. For some of them it was quite weird and embarrassing.

"I... I don't know what to say," Fulvio mumbled sheepishly from on top of the giant panda. He had average-looking short black hair and brown eyes. He also had on a pair of blue pants and a brown shirt.

Simon glared at him scornfully. "Your name would be enough. They know nothing about our world and manners." Similar to Fulvio, Simon had brown eyes and black hair, but his hair was much longer and it fell to his shoulders. He had on a pair of black pants, and a red shirt with the left sleeve cut off due to the warriors using it as a makeshift bandage for his wound.

"Maybe, but not everything seems like it's completely different here..." Emily said, glancing around curiously. She had red wavy hair and brown eyes, and is currently wearing a yellow shirt paired with some light blue jeans.

"So... what's the plan?" Mark asked coldly, arms crossed and nonchalantly leaning against a wall behind everyone else. He had dark brown skin, short white hair, and a pair of deep green eyes highlighted by his sleeveless white shirt and black pants.

"Didn't you hear the raccoon?!" Rebecca scolded him, rolling her eyes and sighing at his aloof attitude. "We have to stay here, fix whatever he said needed to be fixed, and then, as heroes, we will be sent back home! Simple!" Rebecca was the shortest one out of everyone in the group. She was wearing a pink shirt and a pair of short, light blue pants. She had light blue eyes, and straight brown hair slightly longer than Simon's.

Leo cringed, taken aback by Rebecca's outburst. "R-Raccoon? There are no raccoons here!" He was the oldest and tallest one of the group with short, dark blonde hair, and brown eyes with a pair of glasses sitting neatly in front. He wore a striped white and blue shirt and brown pants.

"What, then, is that?" Rebecca insisted, pointing at Shifu who was trying very hard to not look offended.

Some of the humans looked away, feeling embarrassed by her bluntness, while the others merely laughed. "He's a red panda," Leo explained with an apologetic smile to said animal.

The girl stiffened and instantly turned red. "Oh... P-PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I DIDN'T KNOW!" she exclaimed loudly, running behind Crane to hide, successfully making the bird look even more uncomfortable than before.

Shifu ignored whatever just happened with a shake of his head and continued, "It isn't a coincidence that we have six humans and six kung fu masters. The first human you met today will be your partner from now on."

"Partner?" Tigress repeated in confusion, head tilted and an eyebrow raised.

"They'll need a guide. Someone needs to look after them and protect them while they are here. They know nothing of this world, so it's best to assign a human to each one of you." Shifu nodded to each of his students, and then coughed to clear his throat. "I have made up my mind. Fulvio, stay with Po. Tigress, you're with Simon. Monkey, you have Mark. Viper, take care of Emily. Leo, you will be with Mantis. Rebecca, you will stick with Crane."

"Oh, isn't that just perfect..." Mark groaned sarcastically with a tone of disinterest. He threw a glare at the golden-furred monkey as if to say, "Touch me and you die."

Monkey widened his eyes, held up his hands in a peaceful gesture, and slowly backed away.

Shifu then began explaining everything they needed to know. "The only thing I ask of you six is to not go down to the village, understand? Our people shouldn't see you, so don't ever leave this place alone," Shifu said in a commanding tone, staring pointedly at each and every one of the humans.
