Chapter 12: Tai Lung's Backstory
Po was in Viper's room receiving acupuncture. Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, and Naoto were with him.
Po: I thought you said acupuncture would make me feel... better!
Mantis: Trust me it will, it's just not easy finding the right Nerve point under all this.
Po: Fat
Mantis: Fur. I was going to say Fur.
Po: Sure you were.
"Who am I to judge a warrior by his size I mean look at me I'm over here" Mantis said as he jammed another needle in Po's back
Viper: Maybe you should take a look at this again.
Yu: Aren't you even the least bit curious Kanji?
Kanji: Huh? About what?
Yu: Mantis-San, doing acupuncture.
Kanji: What!? Why the hell you asking me I didn't ask for Acupuncture I swear!
Yu: Ok.
Mantis: Hey, Yu you sure you don't wanna be next?
Yu: thanks for the offer Mantis-San but I think I'll pass.
Yosuke: yeah same here.
Po: So where were you guys last night?
Yu: Well Amagi had to return a book she found at the library when we saw a lever, and when she pulled there was a secret passage
Po: There was a secret passage? No Way!
Chie: we're not kidding, so we headed down there and saw an altar and Narukami-kun used the amulet to unlock it and then a Persona was transferred into the amulet the Cave started to crumble and we managed to escape.
Po: That's awesome!
Yosuke: Awesome!? We almost got killed!
Mantis: Hold on did you say something about an amulet?
Yu: yeah I think it's time I showed you guys.
Kanji opened the door and yelled at Crane and Monkey who were in their rooms.
Kanji: Hey you two better be hearing this!
Yu takes out the Dragon Amulet And showed it to Mantis and Viper.
"I found this when I arrived here," Yu explained.
Yu: I spoke to Oogway-San last night and he told me that it can only be held by a person with a kind heart and a strong bond with their friends. he entrusted this to me and told me to keep this with me at all times.
Yosuke: And don't even think about touching it, 'cause if you do you get zapped. yeah, that happened to me once.
Mantis: point taken, I mean I can't believe you guys are from another world.
Viper: Yeah what's it like there?
Yu: Well we go to a school called Yasogami High School, I was originally from a city until I transferred to Inaba. I made many friends there.
Viper: I see you had a good life back in your world.
Yu smiled as he nodded.
Po: Look I know Master Shifu's trying to inspire me and all but if i don't know any better I'd say he's trying to get rid of us.
Manits: I know, he seems kind of heartless.
Yukiko: Yeah considering that Narukami-kun is trying so hard to gain Shifu-san's trust
Mantis: But you know, he wasn't like that.
Chie: Wait really?
Viper: According to the legend, there was once a time when Shifu actually used to smile
Po: No...
Viper: But that was before...
Yosuke: Before... what?
"Before Tai Lung," Tigress said before she came in.
Crane: uh... yeah we're not supposed to talk about him.
Tigress: Well if they're going to stay here then they should know.
Kanji tried to pet Tigress but all he got was a slap on The wrist from Tigress.
Yu: I don't mind listening.
Po: Guys I know about Tai Lung.
Naoto: alright let's hear it.
Po: He was a student, the first ever to master the Thousand Scrolls of Kung Fu, and then he turned... bad and... now he's in jail.
Tigress: He wasn't just a student. Shifu found him... as a cub and raised him as his son, and when the boy showed talent in Kung Fu, Shifu trained him, Shifu taught Tai Lung how to punch, he believed in him, he told him he was destined for greatness, he was never enough for Tai Lung. He wanted the dragon scroll, but Oogway saw darkness in his heart and refused. Outraged, Tai Lung laid waste to the valley.
Yu's mind: I can understand how Shifu-san must have felt.
Tigress: He tried to take the scroll by force. and Shifu had to destroy what he had created, but how could he? Shifu loved Tai Lung like he'd never loved anyone. Or since...
After hearing the story, Yu couldn't help but show sympathy towards Tigress.
Yu: That's terrible...
Tigress: And now he has a chance to make things right to train the true Drago Warrior and now he's stuck with a big fat panda who treats it like a joke And a stranger who doesn't know Kung fu.
Naoto: Listen Tigress-San, I understand that you're doubtful about Narukami-senpai, but he is shown to be a capable fighter. at least give him a chance.
Yu's amulet started to glow but it was a different color than before as he covered it.
Mantis: Yu did that amulet just glow?
Yu: Yeah it did, but not this way.
That was when a goose entered.
Goose: Stranger. Master Shifu is ready to see you.
Yu nods as he and his friends get up.
Yu: Will you guys give us a minute?
Tigress rolled her eyes as she gave them the go-ahead.
Just as the Persona users were about to leave, they heard a voice, it was not from this room nor the palace. it was from far away.
???: Hello? Can anyone hear me?
Tigress: Who said that?
Yu: Wait I know that voice..! Rise is that you!?
Rise: Senpai, thank goodness you responded!
Viper: Who's Rise? And how can you hear her from this distance?
Yukiko: she's another friend of ours, She's using her Persona to communicate with us.
Rise: Please Senpai you have to listen! Something terrible is going to happen soon!
Yu: Rise calm down! Where are you right now?
Rise: Sorry. I'm in one of the caves at a snowy mountain not far from where you are, There's something I need to talk to you about, but not here. and hurry!
Yu nods before Rise's voice was no loner heard.
Yu: Do you know where we can find Shifu-san?
Goose: um... yes once you enter the hall of heroes take a left and he'll be in the training hall.
"Ok thanks." Yu said before he and the other Persona users rushed over to find Shifu
