You were inside the Factory fireworks, you were near Shen and saw him glaring at the map, your territories, Shen wields his lance as Soothsayer looks on.

Shen:" You were wrong, Soothsayer! We sail to victory tonight... Your magic warrior is clearly a fool!"

Soothsayer:"Are you certain it is the warrior who is the fool? You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!"

Shen:" A trivial sacrifice..."

He glares more at the map. He sticks the lance's tip into a nearby fire. When it is glowing hot, he stabs it into the map of China, sending the entire sheet up in flames. You stayed quiet all the time when these two were arguing, you were focused on the well being of your baby inside your womb. You notice the maids inside the palace were safe and sound, which makes you relieved. They were serving you tea while they were quiet and afraid of Shen.

Shen:" When all of China is my reward!"

You looked at him, he was laughing, he turned to you and smiled, he held your hand and grabbed your cup of tea and gently put it aside and looked at your fingertips and kissed it gently.

Shen:" But my reward is right in front of me. A beautiful Empress, holding a precious treasure. Our precious treasure."

You smile and nod your head, you see the Soothsayer was sighing and trying to put some sense into Shen head.

Soothsayer:" Then will you finally be satisfied? Will the subjugation of the whole world finally make you feel better?"

Shen:" Hmmm, it's a start. I might also convert the basement into a dungeon."

He glares at Soothsayer as he says this. Her anger is spent, Soothsayer approaches Shen, who is standing at the balcony with his back to her, while you were his side, trying to convince him of other choices.

Soothsayer:" The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness."

Shen:" And why on earth would I do that?"

You put your hand on top of his hand and look at him and your gentle fingers on his chin, his expression changes.

You:" Because you have an heir and me to take care of and of course. So your parents can rest in peace"

His expression changes more into hate than empathy, you see him turn his face to the other side, while you look at the Soothsayer. She was looking at you in shock but smiled at you, both of you were trying to stop this madness and have a normal and peaceful life.

Shen:"My parents... hated me. Do you understand? They wronged me. I... will make it right."

You shook your head negatively and put your hand on his cheeks and glared at him and kissed him gently and looked into his red colour eyes making stares into your (e/c).

Soothsayer:" They loved you! They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them."

Shen:" The dead exist in the past... and I must attend to the future. Set the Soothsayer free. She is of no use to me."

You look down, deeply saddened, you turn to the Soothsayer, she takes your hand and pats it gently.

Soothsayer:" You have a good heart, my child. Please keep trying to put some sense into this child. Shen was a good child too. But the path he took is sealed."

You:" I won't give up, everyone deserves a chance at life. To have a second chance, even with the past mistakes."

The Soothsayer smiled at you and reached Shen and put her hand on his back.

Soothsayer:" Goodbye, Shen. I wish you happiness."

Shen:" Happiness must be taken... and I will take mine."

You sigh and see her being taken away by a guard, while you reach to him and hold his hand and kiss it. He turns to you and holds your hair and kisses your temper.

Shen:" Sorry... If I misspoken to you."

You:" It's okay, I guess. But Shen there is time to make peace with yourself. You deserve good in your life. Think about this child... Think about your parents, your ancestors!"

Shen:" As I said, my parents sent me away, for trying to make it right."

You:" They loved you, Shen. Shen any parents would be heartbroken to send their children away.. Making this path will lead to more deaths and destruction! This isn't right for our child! Our baby doesn't deserve this! I am begging you, my love. Do it for your child!"

You hoped these words would reach him, by calling him your love and using our child. Shen eyes wide and smile even more and hold you. Shen's fingers were playing with your hair and kissing every inch of your face.

Shen:" I do everything for you and our child, my empress, my love.."

Ship time

You were sitting while drinking tea with a white cup and watching the guards working on the cannons, when you saw something familiar, you saw a person wearing black and white clothes, you knew who it was. But you didn't bother to look at the person.

You:" Why are you here, Po."

Po:" I want answers about my past, and of course from you! Why did you leave the Palace Jade."

You kept drinking the tea, thinking of the answers, but the fragrance of jasmine tea was actually helping you to have the right answers.

You:" It was a trivial sacrifice. Sacrificing myself for the well being of these people and mine. Shen is obsessed with me, no wonder, any prince would be if they met me. And of course, I thought you and Tigress were actually a couple, no wonder if you two dated, she is more skilled than me. I am just a princess or better an Empress."

You get up and put the teacup aside and turn to him, you see him. His state was in shock but something tells you he had been crying. You walk toward him and stop by his side.

You:" You and the others shouldn't be here, I kept Shen under my fingers, and he did not attack anyone until you guys arrived. "

Po:" Are you in love with him?"

You looked at him, you were about to speak but you thought it was better to stay quiet. Indeed, Shen treats you with respect and his obsessive love towards you was dangerous for other people. But Shen was always thinking about your needs than himself. He always makes sure you would be comfortable around him and you would receive enough attention and love and care for his side. While you give the same amount of affection to him.

You:" I am not sure. Maybe I am in love with him or I am not. I can't really know the answer."

Po:" I wan-!"

You heard something, you hushed Po and glaring something. You turned to Po and pointed to a box, he went there and you helped close the box. You saw the guards passing by you and greeting you. You bow to them, once it was safe and make sure no one was there. You open the box and let Po get out.

Po:" Thank you."

You:" Do not thank me, Po. I need to know something too. How is my family.."

Po:" Well, your brothers came to Jade Palace, your Brother Hu, he turned into Emperor and told me...That the Late Emperor."

You heard enough, those small sentences gave you enough information, you felt tears roll down, you moved your hand to your lips and whimpered.

You:" Do not tell me anymore.... My father died... Dear heavens, I hope he doesn't know where I am..."

Po:" Well, it was that which led him to his death... He found out you sacrificed yourself and well, the other things."

Your eyes wide, you turn to Po. You felt tears rolling down and you accidentally knocked the teacup and saw it break it. Your heart was breaking, you could feel it.

You:" My brother...What did he say...."

Po:" Once we rescue you... You will return to the Palace...And if you get pregnant....They will take care of you and the child..."

You:" I always knew I could count my family... Thank you, Po."

Po:"(Y/n)! I really love you! I don't care about anything other than us. I really wish that, if you change your mind, I promise I can take care of this child. Mine or not. I would raise him."

You:" Stop it, Po. Don't say nonsense."

You saw Po getting closer to you and tried to hold you, but you were pushing him away from you. Then you heard a voice, you knew who it was.

Shen:" Greetings, Warrior!"

Shen emerges from the smoke on a walkway just above Po. Po spots the eye emblem on his hanfu again and shields his eyes. You knew Shen probably heard what Po said because you noticed the rage in Shen's eyes.

Po:" Tell me what happened that night!"

Shen:"*Mockingly* What night?"

You saw them moving away from you, but you tried to follow them. You didn't want anyone to die in this infernal war. You grab your Hanfu and try to climb the other side.

Po:"That night!"

You look up and see Po eyes with anger, you get worried about it and you try to climb more. You saw them argue. You see Shen angrier. After some fighting and seeing Po almost fall into the huge pot of hot metal, you sigh with relief he was fine, but then after some time he and Shen were face to face.

Po:" No more running, Shen!"

You arrive in time and get into the middle. Both Shen and Po stopped. You look at them with angry eyes and pant.

You:" Po! Shen! That's enough! This will not lead you into peace!"

Shen:" Oh my Empress, I really care about you. Please my love step aside. I don't want our baby to get hurt."

He gently grabs your hand and moves you aside from the box and kisses your hand.

You:" Shen please"

Then you see something flinging the fork and pinning Shen wrist to a large wooden box. Your eyes wide and look at the person and see Po angry more.

Po:" No more running, Shen!"

Shen looks at you and smiles, grabbing the fork and throwing it away, and checks on you to make sure you are fine. You were worried about both of them.

Shen:" So it seems."

Po:" Now... answers!"

Shen:" Oh, you want to know so badly? Thinking knowing will heal you, huh? Fill some... crater in your soul. Well here's your answer... your parents didn't love you."

You saw Po eyes wide and his facial expression changed into denial. You didn't know about this past, you didn't know Po was the only survivor of the Shen attack.

Shen:" But here... let me heal you."

Shen leaps backwards on top of the box... which opens up to reveal a cannon three times the size of the original aiming straight at Po. Po gasps, unable to move. Shen grins evilly as he lights the fuse. The dragon shaped-cannon seems to growl as it fires. Po is barely able to place the wok in front of himself before the flaming cannonball hits.

You saw Po flying out of the Factory, you saw your best friend and the furious five. You looked at Shen, he was laughing madly and turned around and left. You stood there in shock and saw the hole, you got your knees down and began to cry.

You:" Forgive me, Po.... Please be alright... Forgive me for everything. I care about you."
