The blood moon has begun and with Po's staff stolen, the sorceress opens a portal to the world of spirits. She summons Tai Lung first. Leopard was surprised how he ended up here. The Chameleon called him to teach her his kung fu skills. However, he refused and challenged. First, he defeated her entire army, and then entered into battle against the Chameleon herself. The latter stuck out her long tongue and sucked out all his qi, which was Tai Lung's spiritual and life force. The leopard fell exhausted and was defeated by the villainess, who then used his own strength against him. After this, she orders her subjects to put him in a cage.
She called General Kai next. The bull was also surprised to be here. After all, the last thing he remembered. How he absorbed all the qi from the panda Po in the spirit world, and then he became overwhelmed with it and burst. Died. And in the world of spirits. And now he is alive again and found himself here.
β What's going on here? β he asks himself and notices the Chameleon. -Who else are you?
β Your worst nightmare, Kai. β the sorceress replies sarcastically and, sticking out her tongue, takes the chi from Kai. The bull, weakened, falls to the floor and was also stunned. β Did you really think that by taking qi from everyone, you would become the most omnipotent in an omnipotent world? β Chameleon asks him and orders with her submissive snap of a finger to grab Kai and put him in another cage. β No. You're just a pathetic drug addict, Kai. An addict, like me, who just canβt stop trying a new power for the first time.
Kai is put in the next cell and the villainess next resurrects several more villains from the spirit world. She also deprives them of their chi, and then puts them in cages as well. Somehow the line had already reached Lord Shenβs peacock. He was also surprised to find himself here safe and sound. The last thing he remembered was that he died on his own ship from his own miracle weapon. But now he somehow ended up here. Safe and sound.
β Where am I?... How did I get here?
β Thanks to me, Lord Shen. β the Chameleon boasted. β Do you remember what happened to you before I called you from the spirit world?
β The spirit world? β the peacock did not understand and turned around, looking at the portal from where he came out. And then it dawned on him, remembering the latest events on the water. β Yes, I died!
β That's it! The Dragon Warrior killed you. But I brought you back from the dead. Now you can take revenge on the panda.
Shen smiled sarcastically after hearing the news and said:
β Yes. You gave me a second chance at my life and now I will take revenge on this moronic panda for the fact that I died because of him.
Peacock took out all his sharp blades and took a fighting stance. But the Chameleon stuck out her tongue and sucked the qi out of the peacock in the same way. He also fell and was weak.
β You are so naive, Shen! Did you really think that I would allow a weakling like you, who lost so easily to the Dragon Warrior, to work together with me? You're just a pathetic little thing. A rooster whom life teaches nothing.
The exhausted Shen bulged his eyes and opened his beak, beginning to stutter when speaking, not understanding anything.
β But... You said that I could take revenge on the panda... Why are you doing this to me?
β Because I need weaklings like you, who so easily lost and died even to the great master of kung fu. I was able to defeat him, unlike all of you. β she mocked him, grinning. Then she changed her appearance, taking on the appearance of the peacock itself and began to imitate him in front of his eyes, speaking in his own voice. β I am Lord Shen! A stupid and naive peacock who will easily take over all of China and rule it. I will destroy all kung fu and no Dragon Warrior will dare to defeat me, because I am so stupid that I naively believed that I could win and avoid the prophecy that I would one day die at the hands of a black and white kung fu warrior. Because it's my choice. Ha ha ha. β then she takes on her previous appearance and gives an order. β Put him in jail too!
The peacock is grabbed by the wings and dragged towards the cage. He tried to break free from their grip.
β No. What are you doing? No. Let me go!
The sorceress's guards ignored Shen's plea for freedom and locked him in the next available cage.
β So much for gratitude! After this, trust anyone for doing you good! β the fire-breathing crocodile answered sarcastically, sitting in the next cage.
Tai Lung and Kai, also sitting next door, also began to think. Especially looking at the desperate Shen and hearing everything they talked about with that witch. In the past, the great Panda Dragon Warrior himself easily defeated them all, but now they were defeated by some small lizard that is able to take on their forms, change their voices to match them, and even absorb their chi. Regarding qi, this hurt Kai the most. He was especially deeply offended by the fact that the Chameleon called him a chi addict.
β "She is right! I became too obsessed with qi and wanted it so much that at one point I got too much of it and died. And now, when she brought me back to life and thereby gave me a second chance, I am now forced to sit in a cage without any qi. Is this my deserved fate for all my past sins?β β Kai thought about all this by himself, sitting still and lowering his head.
β Am I really destined to sit in prison like this again for another twenty years? But now not alone, but by the others whom this panda killed... Together with me? β the leopard asks himself out loud. He also began to rethink his mistakes. Especially looking at how the Chameleon sometimes took on his appearance and often used his attack, leaving a blue aura from the blow and uttering stupid phrases in his own voice. Thus, Tai Lung looked at himself using the example of the Chameleon.
At that time, Shen was lying in his cage and comprehending how the sorceress showed him on herself. The peacock curled up into a ball and wrapped his wings around himself and began to cry. Suddenly drops of water began to drip from the ceiling, falling directly on the peacockβs head. The lord realized his gaze at the drops that were dripping at him and the peacock suddenly remembered in his head what the panda had told him before he tried to kill him again.
β βYou must stop living in the past, because what happened is no longer important! What matters is your current choice of who you want to be now.β
With this phrase from the memories, Shen decided to calm down a little and try to do the same thing that the panda did then, despite the fact that he had long ago deprived him of his parents and left him with scars. He decided to try to find inner peace.
Standing on his paws, he closed his eyes and, trying to listen, tried to catch one drop. As if in slow motion, he reaches out a feather like a finger and lightly grabs a drop, after which he begins to dance in place and drag the drop along his wings. Then he drops a drop from his finger and it flows from it onto the floor safe and sound. Tai Lung noticed this and asked Shen.
β What are you doing?
The peacock opens his eyes and turns his gaze to the leopard. The lord answers the failed warrior:
β This is... Inner peace!... I'm trying to find it.
β For what? β the leopard did not understand.
β One day, before the panda killed me, and before I still wanted to kill him, he told me that you need to let go of your past and start living in the present, choosing your own path, who you want to be. Scars may not heal like wounds, but they can be ignored. Forget about your scars and start living on with a new destiny... Itβs a pity that I only realized this now.
From what he heard, Tai Lung remembered what the panda had told him back when he had obtained the scroll of power.
β βThe power does not come from the scroll! It comes from you."
And besides, considering that Po also did not understand why there was nothing in the scroll if he nevertheless became that very Dragon Warrior? Having thought about all this, Tai Lung finally understood:
β βSo I myself could become a Dragon Warrior only by my own choice. Without a scroll. I have been obsessed and poisoned by the desire for revenge all my life, and it was all in vain. After all, there was another way out. I have to choose who I want to be."
At this time, Kai also sometimes watched as the Chameleon continued to suck the chi from other resurrected villains from the spirit world. She really reminded him of himself. Kai looked at her and already saw himself in her.
β You, like me, will burst if you take too much. β he tells her.
The chameleon laughed and answered the bull:
β And I donβt need to take all the qi. All I need is a little from everyone defeated by the Dragon Warrior. Their qi will be enough. And then I will take over all of China. And you will all sit in cages for the rest of your worthless new lives and watch me rule all of China, because I achieved everything unlike all of you.
***
After a very long time, the last villain was put in a cage. All the qi was stolen by her and the Chameleon returned the staff to the panda who appeared, because she no longer needed it. Po first tried to convince her and persuade her to take the right path. However, she refused and began to fight the panda. At first, she took on different forms and powers of other villains, including Tai Lung, Shen and Kai. Then she accepted the Dragon hybrid of a similar creature from different types of villains, when a white fox intervened in the battle, who betrayed her teacher by becoming attached to a panda. Then the Chameleon took the form of the panda himself and Po began to fight with himself. But even so, he almost lost.
All the captured and imprisoned villains, including Tai Lung, Shen and Kai, only sat in their cages and at first watched the battle. After all, they themselves could not free themselves and intervene. The Chameleon defeated the Dragon Warrior and almost won. Panda was exhausted. The witch laughed:
β You canβt defeat me that easily! I am the strongest and invincible.
Po could barely get to his feet.
β You're right... I can't defeat you... Alone...
With these words, the panda ran along with the staff and began to knock out the locks from the cages, freeing all the villains he had previously defeated. She also freed Tai Lung, Shen and Kai themselves. They all left the cages and, after resting a little, entered the battle again, deciding to attack the Chameleon together.
The sorceress again took on the appearance of a hybrid and began to fight off her captives, who were still a little weaker than her and attacked her either simultaneously or one by one. Po used his staff at the last moment and summoned the silhouette of a Dragon, which struck the hybrid and knocked her away. From such a blow, the Chameleon not only flew away, but also released all the chi back. All the villains got their chi back. But in gratitude for the fact that Po freed them all, they did not attack him.
Po opened a portal back to the spirit world and all the villains were going to return back. Po stayed and ran after the sorceress. The fox ran along with the Dragon Warrior. When all the villains left through the portal and only Tai Lung, Shen and Kai remained, they just stood still and thought. They were faced with a choice. Either go back to the world of spirits, or stay here in the world of the living and get another chance at correction. By the time they thought, it was already too late. The blood moon ended, the portal itself closed, and those three remained. Even their golden aura qi stopped glowing.
***
Of course, the Chameleon survived and was not going to give up. While on the street, she continued to take on other forms and continued to fight against Po and his assistant, who betrayed her. The chameleon was full of rage and seriously wanted to kill them. She was able to reabsorb the qi from the panda and in one fell swoop was stolen by the foxes. Now they were weak in front of her. The chameleon, having taken the form of a panda, prepared to crush them, but at the last moment Kai comes running and, with a running start, knocks the sorceress down with her horns.
Then Shen arrives, extending a helping wing to the fox, and Tai Lung, extending a helping hand to the panda.
β Only I will kill you. β the leopard told him smiling. The panda still took his paw and he helped him up.
Now together they have gathered into a new team of five warriors. The chameleon sticks out her tongue, trying to suck the chi out of those three again, but this time they managed to dodge. Tai Lung even grabbed her tongue with his own hands and held the villainess towards them. Shen jumped up and threw her back with a blow of his hind legs.
Not going to give up, the Chameleon continues to fight, and the panda, leopard, fox, buffalo and peacock defend themselves and fight with her. They deftly dodge the blows and hit it themselves. Shen even jumped over it a couple of times, saying:
β Let's!
At one point, they hit her in the face one by one with their techniques, and then, surrounding her in a circle, they hit her simultaneously with their right legs. Chameleon got a concussion and fell. But even after that, she did not give up, barely stood up and tried to slowly hit the fox with her tail. She managed to grab her by the tail and raise her little finger. The chameleon's eyes widened at what she saw. She was scared this time:
β Wuxi finger grip!
β Oh! Do you know this grip? β Tai Lung asks slyly, folding his arms over his chest.
β No no no! What are you? Please don't do this! You don't even know how to do it.
β Yes. But I figured it out myself.β- the fox answers and, lowering his little finger, slightly distorts Poβs phrase: - Skooadish!
Suddenly the Chameleon begins to glow yellow and there is an explosion in which she disappears.
The common enemy was defeated. Tai Lung, Shen and Kai bowed their heads in respect to the panda and clasped their hands together. Now it remains to resolve the issue. What to do with them? They did not return to the world of spirits, but remained here. It turns out that they came back to life. And how will the whole of China react to such news?
