Chapter 18: Safety
Rise was riding the Red hare back to the Jade Palace where the others were waiting for her.
Yukiko: Rise-chan!
She hopped off the horse before the Red Hare disappeared
Rise: Guys You're here!
Rise hugs everyone once she reaches the staircase,
Naoto: Where's Narukami-Senpai, is he okay?
Rise: yes, Right now he's dealing with Tai Lung,
Kanji: What? Senpai's fighting that Tai Lung bastard!? we gotta go help him!
Rise: No this is his battle.
Naoto: Rise-San is right. We can't have anyone interrupt his battle
Rise: So can anyone tell me what's going on?
Chie: Well it's a long story, so I'll make it short. Narukami-kun got chosen as the Dragon Warrior, he possesses the Dragon Amulet, and he has a persona which can talk.
Rise: I guess I missed out on a lot then.
Kanji: I hope he makes it out alive.
Rise: I just hope so too.

Meanwhile The Portal opened as Lu Bu and Yu went through it, when Yu looked up he was at a Chinese castle where the sun was setting.
Yu: Where are we?
Lu Bu: This is Xia Pi, we should be safe here for now. Tai Lung was about to strike you when least expected it, however I created a portal to prevent that from happening,
Yu: thanks.
Lu Bu: You are welcome.
Yu: So What's so special about Xia Pi?
Lu Bu: this was where my final battle took place.
Yu: Final Battle?
Lu Bu: It was between my army and Cao Cao's forces who was allied with Liu Bei's forces, I was captured by Cao Cao and I was later... executed.
Yu: That's awful...
Lu Bu: Indeed. Later on, I will train you to control me,
Yu: What?
Lu Bu: It is like Shifu said, You may never know when I will turn on you.
Yu: you have a point, I don't want you to go berserk.
Lu Bu: Good because I have had a history of betraying others.
Yu: What do you mean?
"I first served Ding Yuan as his adopted son until I turned on him to serve Dong Zhuo. For several years I served Dong Zhuo. However on behalf of the emperor I slayed him." Lu Bu explained.
Yu: Then how is it that you haven't turned on me yet?
Lu Bu: You have shown a tremendous power within you. Most specifically your Persona and Bond with others. We should head back, your friends are worried about you.
Lu Bu creates a portal as him and Yu enter it.
Meanwhile, Po and Shifu were entering the Palace Courtyard after their training.
Shifu: You've done well, Panda.
Po: Done well? Done Well?! I did Awesome!
Shifu: The mark of a true hero is humility. But yes you did... Awesome.
A portal soon appeared from behind. Po and Shifu Looked behind and saw Yu alive and well.
Yu: Hey Po-Chan.
Po ran toward Yu and hi fives him while Shifu smiles as he sighed in relief, relieved that Yu made it back alive.
"Yu! Where the heck were you!?" Po asked.
Yu: I had to go grab a friend of mine. And to have a chat with Lu Bu.
Po: Lu Bu?
Yu: He's The strongest warrior in all of Ancient China.
It was then that Yosuke and the others looked downstairs to see that their friend was alive.
Yosuke: Narukami, your back!
They ran down the stairs to meet up with Yu.
Chie: So glad you're ok!
However their reunion was cut short when Rise came down the stairs.
Rise: Guys you have to come quick!
Yukiko: What is it?
Rise: It's the Furious Five. something must have happened to them!
Yu and the others ran up stairs which left them in shock to see that The Furious five were scattered on the ground with the 4 of them paralyzed Crane was the only one not paralyzed.
"Guys? Guys!" Po said as he ran towards them with Yu doing the same. While the others followed them.
Yu: What happened here? Are you guys alright?
Po: They're dead? No they're breathing! They're asleep? No, their eyes are open!
Yu: Calm down Po-Chan, they must have been paralyzed.
Lu Bu's spirit appeared as he clenched his fist in anger.
Lu Bu: Tai Lung must have done this to them.
Yu: Why would he do that?
Lu Bu: Probably to send a message to us that he's coming for us.
Crane: We were no match... for his nerve attack.
Kanji: Nerve attack?
Yu: I think I heard of it, Lu Bu told me that he can strike a person's nerve point which paralyzes them.
Shifu: That is correct.
Crane tried to get up, But Yu ran over and helped Crane up.
Yu: Easy Crane-San, you and your friends have taken a lot of hits.
"He has gotten stronger," Shifu said before he freed Mantis from being paralyzed.
Po: Who? Tai Lung? Stronger?
Monkey: He's too fast! Sorry Po.
Yukiko: It's ok, you guys did your best.
Tigress: I thought we could stop him.
Shifu: He could've killed you.
Mantis: Why didn't he?
Shifu: Most likely to strike fear into our hearts. But it won't work.
Once he was done, he turned towards Yu.
Shifu: Narukami.
"Right," Yu nods as he holds up a floating card.
Yu: Isis!
Isis appeared and healed the Furious Five's injuries.
Yu looks down in guilt if he had stayed with the Furious Five then none of this would happen to them.
Yu: I'm sorry, I should've stayed to help you guys.
Viper: It's not your fault Yu, if anyone is at fault here it should be us.
Yu: I see... well I had a run in with Tai Lung too. Luckily I managed to take him down, for now at least.
Po: Really?!
Yu: I'm not joking guys.
"Alright Partner!" Yosuke said as he hi-fived Yu.
Mantis: Nice one Yu. But How did you even survive?
Yu: it was thanks to a paralysis resistance buff from Lu Bu. Turns out he holds a grudge against Tai Lung.
Po: Why?
Yu: Well Tai Lung did try to get the Dragon Amulet a few years ago.
Chie: But why would Tai Lung want the Dragon Amulet?
Naoto: It's Probably because he wants Lu Bu's power. I mean he is the Strongest warrior in all of Ancient China so Tai Lung must want that power for himself.
Shifu: I see... so not only is he after the Dragon Scroll but he's after your amulet making you a target.
Yosuke: Speaking of which, you still have it with you right?
"Yeah I got it right here" Yu said before he took out the Dragon Amulet from his pocket.
Rise: That's good. If Tai Lung got his hands on it, it would've been bad news.
Shifu: So this is Rise Kujikawa.
Yu: Yes Po-Chan, Shifu-San, this is Rise, she's our Navigator,
Yukiko: By the way, welcome back Narukami-kun. Um, can I really say "welcome back" while we're in another world?
Chie: I'd say so, welcome back Narukami-kun.
Kanji: Honestly with everything that's happened, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long
Yosuke: Hey if we get out of here, do you think we'll wind up back in our homes? It'd be cool if we could hang out in Inaba again.
Naoto: Well that might make it hard for Narukami-senpai to get back to the city. Fortunately I'm fairly used to the commute, so I could show him the easiest train route back.
Chie: Hey Narukami-kun if you do come back to Inaba, let's all get some beef bowls, on Hanamura's tab!
Yosuke: Hell no! I don't have that kind of money! I'll cover Narukami's and that's it.
Chie: Aw don't be so stingy! Fine, how about the food court at Junes? It'd feel more like an investigation meeting that way too!
Yosuke: Hello Miss Satonaka!? Are you listening!?
Yu: Nice to see you guys haven't changed.
Tigress: Stranger. Can I speak with you?
Yu: Sure I don't mind.
Yu followed Tigress up the roof, what could Tigress want from him?
