Oogway could feel the intensity of Allen's attacks; it was a different approach, one that forced learning in times of crisis. Allen was an expert at this, as he had reached his power level this way.
"Different masters, different paths, different methods, different results…" Oogway looked serenely toward the training courtyard.
The look of panic on Po's face was real as he felt the aura produced by Allen's presence, yet despite the enormous pressure, there was no single malicious intent coming from Allen.
"..." Oogway smiled, gazing peacefully at the sky despite the pressure Allen was exerting as he trained Po.
"It should be a time filled with uncertainty, with fear in the air… yet the air is clean, and everything is calm…"
Oogway raised his arm, and the peach blossoms formed a Yin and Yang symbol—the Chinese symbol for light and darkness.
"Everything has its equivalent; that's why the world can exist as it does… Po is the light of this generation, but without darkness, he cannot shine… That's why you decided not to finish Tai Lung... Hehe..."
...
Allen lunged at Po, who immediately felt scared but refused to let go of the doughnut. Po extended his paw to grasp it, but Allen struck Po's hand, making him release it, then punched him in the stomach wrapped in Chi.
Po felt the pain but stubbornly used his toes to kick the doughnut, sending it high into the sky. Allen smiled his fist still in Po's stomach, and released more Chi, sending Po crashing down like a cannonball.
Po crashed through the roof of the main building, the Jade Palace, and smashed into the floor, breaking the priceless ground that had made the palace famous for its real jade.
"..." Allen appeared inside the jade palace not far from Po.
Groaning in pain, Po muttered, "Oh, that was incredible… and painful!"
Allen didn't reply, giving Po a moment to recover. Po got up, grabbed a vase, and threw it at Allen.
"Take that, dragon warrior, special attack!"
Allen caught the vase without breaking it; this vase contained real souls. Makima, who was floating above Allen, looked at the vase with interest, but Allen gave her a "don't even think about it" look. Perhaps it was Allen's imagination, but Makima seemed to pout as her cheek puffed out slightly for an instant.
Allen set the mysterious vase on the floor.
The Jade Palace contains numerous treasures; some are relics of ancient masters, some were brought there for safekeeping from evil hands, and others exist to protect the world from them.
...
Felicia – Wow, there are a lot of interesting things here~.
Gwen – Felicia you give enough trouble in one world.
MJ – Doesn't seem like a good idea; what if something in there curses you, and you end up as a pig?
Cate – Lol, I'd pay to see that.
Felicia – Kid, don't make me post your diary online.
Cate – NOOOO!
[I.M] "Stop fighting, and Cate, don't provoke Felicia; she's not like Annie, and she follows through on her threats."
Annie – Hey! What do you mean by that?!
Kimiko – It means that when you get mad, you say things like you won't talk for a week, but then you forget an hour later.
Annie – That's an unfair accusation.
...
Po grabbed an axe and threw it, then grabbed a shield, and threw it at Allen; the panda kept repeating this, but Allen stopped everything effortlessly, placing it on the ground without breaking anything.
Shifu and the Furious Five, who had arrived, flinched for a moment as they saw Po using the treasures as throwing objects.
But thanks to Allen, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the Jade Palace and its treasures wouldn't be damaged.
"No! Well, I'll use the super fan attack technique....".
Allen sighed lightly as Po tried another special attack.
"...?!" Po stopped at the sound of Allen's voice.
"Po being afraid is normal, but don't avoid me" Allen frowned, extending his hand to catch the doughnut as it fell through the hole in the roof. "I know you can do better…"
Po stopped his attacks and felt embarrassed; he was avoiding close combat after receiving such a hard blow from Allen. Po wasn't used to fighting, but the pain, the fear, and the pressure of having your life in danger are things that Po must experience.
Po looked at the Furious Five and Shifu watching him, then smacked his cheeks and saluted Allen. "I'm sorry, Master, let me try again!"
Po immediately picked up a box and opened it; Shifu grabbed his forehead but resisted the urge to yell at the panda. A lot of smoke came out of the box, but it was only enough to cover the area where Po was standing.
Allen smiled and dropped the donut. Amidst the smoke, Po grabbed a stack of spears, threw them into the air, and kicked them toward Allen. The spears flew like arrows, all aimed at Allen except for the first one, which was going at a higher speed.
"...!" Allen opened his eyes.
The first spear pierced the donut right through the center and flew out of the Jade Palace, falling toward the Valley of Peace.
Po ran, intending to use the spears as a distraction to slip past Allen, but that was naïve; Allen grabbed a spear and swept the others aside with a single motion. However, Po didn't stop his charge.
"Panda?!" Shifu opened his eyes in surprise at the panda's boldness, while the Furious Five thought he was crazy.
Allen had no mercy; he aimed the spear straight at the panda's chest. Po leaped, twisting in the air to turn his back to Allen. To everyone's surprise, Po had a "Hot Pot" strapped to his back. Allen chuckled and smashed the spear against the hot pot, shattering both items; Shifu's painful gasp added drama to the scene.
Po didn't stop and kept running toward the donut, which had reached the Valley of Peace and ended up stuck in someone's house.
Allen paused on purpose, as a reward for Po's last-minute bravery.
Diana – It may seem silly, but the panda had the guts to try such a risky technique.
Antiope – If that hot pot hadn't stopped the spear, he'd have been skewered.
Artemis (Themyscira) – What surprises me most is that among the spears, some were special. Did Po know that a few could pierce metal with ease?
Beerus – That crazy panda? No way! He was just relying on his luck.
PercyJ – That doesn't take away from his courage and creativity.
Whis – The panda was skillful, but Allen is still an indulgent opponent…
Vados – That makes him cute~
Beerus – Kid, if you're not hard on him, he won't learn anything...
...
Allen smirked. He'd been going easy on Po, even choosing not to hit him immediately at the end and instead attacking the hot pot so Po's trick wouldn't go to waste.
Allen walked toward the exit, passing by Shifu and the Furious Five.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save everything," Allen said to Shifu, who gave a bitter smile; the palace roof, floor, and some treasures were damaged, but overall, things were intact.
"Don't worry, when they entered the Jade Palace, I prepared for the worst. I appreciate that you did more than enough." Shifu walked over to the battle-axe and picked it up, "These treasures have more than just monetary value; they hold history, remnants of great warriors and masters from the past, great victories and defeats meant to inspire future generations to leave their mark on the world…"
Kratos – I can see some good things in that place... I can even feel how much they've been used...
"Well, and here I thought they were just to impress visitors…"
Monkey, true to his nature, couldn't resist breaking the mood.
Shifu visibly frowned, "It seems I've been too lenient with you all lately; perhaps we should return to the old punishments from your training days…"
The Furious Five trembled and glared at Monkey with hatred, who just shrank down with a dry laugh.
Allen chuckled and continued toward the exit, "Po must already be arriving in the Valley of Peace…"
Allen stood at the edge of the stairs, sharpened his gaze, and then disappeared.
...
"Po!"
"Sorry!"
"Ah!"
"Excuse me, Mrs. Lui! I'm in a hurry!"
"What's up, panda?!"
"Sorry, Mr. Li!"
Po ran through the crowd, bumping into several people, his eyes and mouth watering as he saw the donut held high by the spear, embedded in a wall.
Po jumped over a fruit stand toward the divine delicacy, his eyes turning into donuts and drool dripping from his mouth.
"It won't be that easy…"
Allen appeared right above Po and kicked him to the ground, using just enough force not to harm civilians but with Chi that bypassed Po's defenses.
Po crashed to the ground feeling pain, "Ah... that hurts!"
Po quickly tried to get up, only to see Allen's foot about to kick him in the face. His first instinct was to dodge, but he froze at the sound of someone's scream behind him, so he didn't move and clenched his teeth, though the pain never came.
"Po…" Allen spoke slowly as he lowered his foot, "It's not easy, right? Don't worry; you're neither the first nor the last to face a situation involving civilians…"
Behind Po, a couple of monkeys quickly ran away.
Allen struck Po again, this time without holding back, sending him rolling across the ground, almost flattening a small ox. Po was forced to bounce like a ball and leap over the little ox.
Allen appeared behind Po and grabbed him, "Many don't care about the blood spilled or those who get hurt in the process of reaching their goals…"
Po's eyes slowly widened while Allen's hand grabbed him by the neck like a metal clamp, "That's nothing to the dragon warrior!".
Po used his stomach to push Allen away, then grabbed a wheelbarrow full of fruit and began spinning it, intending to throw it at Allen.
Allen smiled slightly, "I admire that attitude of yours..."
"Heh... how about this, Dragon Warrior Special Spin!" Po shouted the name of his freshly invented technique.
Allen, in response, didn't move. Po thought Allen was mocking him again, but when he was about to throw the wheelbarrow, he noticed two young rabbits hiding behind a barrel, scared.
Po stopped spinning, letting the wheelbarrow fall to the ground, breathing heavily from the effort.
"Haa... that was unfair…"
Allen looked back and smiled, the two rabbits stopped trembling, understood the signal, and quickly left. "People expect the Dragon Warrior to be a powerful hero who protects them; it's a big responsibility, and I warn you, it's not easy… not easy to care about others while fighting… and, well, this time you have the advantage of knowing Tai Lung is coming, so the people of the Valley of Peace will be evacuated, but there will come a time when that won't be the case…"
Po sighed, feeling a heavy weight on his shoulders. Allen was skipping several preliminary lessons. Po had talent and physical advantages, but like the Furious Five, he lacked a stronger mentality.
This was fine in many ways, but he eventually had to mature. Allen was simply helping him accelerate that process.
Allen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Po; he had been hitting Po with Chi—not enough to really hurt him, but enough for his body to feel it.
Allen was aiming to awaken the pandas' Chi talent...
Artoria – Are you sure the panda is ready for something like this?
'Yeah'
Esdeath – You're still too lenient. If you're going to train him for real, you must be harsher…
Harley – Booo! What are you saying about Daddy?! He's teaching him knowledge, not just power!
Rebecca – Now that I think about it, this crazy girl used to be a psychologist.
Harley – Jealous, Rebecca?~
Rebecca – Huh, who'd be jealous of a crazy girl like you?!
Harley – Say what you want~
2B – Master, wouldn't it be simpler to teach him how to use that strange energy directly?
Makima – What a waste of time… if you wish, I'm sure you could make that panda strong without directly training him and wasting your time…
Makima was right; Allen had more than one way to strengthen Po.
Allen denied, "That wouldn't be his strength, and he'd eventually find his limit. Besides, as I said, I want to help him…"
Makima – How foolish…
Nokotan – Oh, come on, Makimaki! I'll give you some deer cookies, don't pout.
Makima – ...
Bocchi – Nokotan, what are you doing?!
This time the Dolls didn't have major roles, but that's normal; this world doesn't have many enemies, and even seeing one human appear is rare, let alone several.
Allen watched the girls who remained close to him. He felt a little sorry that he could not let them appear.
Allen himself hadn't planned on intervening against Tai Lung unless he was forced. Still, the girls hadn't complained since they knew Allen wouldn't stay in this world for long.
...
Allen apologized to the girls. By now, people had dispersed, and Allen looked at Po, who appeared wary as he watched Allen's movements.
"The game's over, panda. This time I won't hold back…"
Po swallowed nervously but didn't back down; he'd always dreamed of becoming a Kung Fu master, and if that meant fighting Allen, he wasn't going to give up without giving it his all.
The Chat approved of Po's courage. They had all watched Allen's growth and knew how terrifying it must be to face him by this point. Yet, to everyone's surprise, this clumsy, naïve, childish, and very foolish panda could stand before Allen without running away.
Allen smiled, "You definitely deserve the title of dragon warrior, Po"
"Really?! Hahahaha!"
Allen released more pressure, his aura making even the Furious Five and Shifu tremble.
Po's laughter stopped and he swallowed saliva. "Gulp..."
...
...
...
( Evening, Marvel)
The portal opened, and Allen returned to his apartment after training Po all day. A small figure jumped towards Allen.
"Big brother!"
It was Alice. Allen caught her, amused. "How's my little invader~"
"Mu~" Alice pouted at being called that. "Mu? Are you a cow? Haha."
"Brother, don't bully Alice!" Alice complained, flailing her arms.
"All right, all right, how about I give you some pudding…"
Allen placed Alice on his shoulders and headed to the kitchen.
"Yay, pudding!!"
Alice's mood quickly improved. Allen walked through the living room where Natasha and Eve, Alice's mother, were having a conversation between mature women.
Allen smiled at the pair without wanting to interrupt their conversation.
(A/N: Mature women ❎ Milfs ✅)
Gwen and MJ were also there, but both stood up and went to greet Allen.
"I'm back," Allen said casually, also happy not to have to leave his world for so long anymore.
MJ frowned slightly, a bit disappointed when she saw Alice on Allen's shoulders, knowing she wouldn't be able to jump on him as she usually did.
"Don't worry, MJ. I'll let you jump on me all you want tonight."
MJ blushed, even redder than her hair, because Alice had heard and gave Allen a light slap on the shoulder, making him laugh as Alice tilted her head in confusion.
"Sister Gwen, look, I'm flying!" Alice shouted from above.
"Good for you, Alice~" Gwen smiled warmly while hugging Allen and whispered, "Isn't it unfair to make that offer only to the redhead?"
Allen nodded and wrapped an arm around Gwen's waist as he kissed her.
Natasha cleared her throat. "Allen, we have guests…"
Natasha didn't mind the intimacy Allen had with the girls, but Eve didn't have that kind of relationship with Allen.
Noticing the blushing blonde, Allen grinned mischievously. "My apologies, Miss Foster… I'll be more careful next time."
Eve blushed even more, knowing Allen had used that honorific because her divorce had just been finalized.
"Brother, don't bother my mom!~" Alice scolded him.
"I'm sorry."
MJ pulled Gwen aside a bit and whispered in her ear, "I haven't mentioned it before, but doesn't Eve's mom look a bit familiar?"
"You mean, like a blonde anime character, like Tearju-sensei?" Gwen sighed, crossing her arms.
Both girls looked at Allen, smiling mischievously as he teased the beautiful woman.
Previously, they'd joked in the chat multiple times that Allen should adopt Alice, but they never expected it could actually happen.
As the jokes continued, the sound of the toilet flushing was heard, and soon the door opened. From the hallway, Lord Meowington appeared. He approached Allen and bowed to the master of the house.
"Meow *Good day, my lord. Thank you for welcoming us into your abode as well*"
"Good day to you too, Lord Meowington. It's a pleasure…"
No one knew what was more surreal—seeing a cat using the toilet, or Allen treating a cat with more respect and courtesy than most people.
[This place gets stranger every day...].
The day concluded with a big dinner, attended by several girls from other worlds…
===
A/N: This treatment of such a distinguished "gentleman" as Lord Meowington is normal. 🍷🗿
PS: In case anyone forgot the Foster family is based on the Armstrong family from Full Metal, and of course Eve on Olivier Mila Armstrong🍷🗿
