Chapter 13 Alternative Ending
Po P.O.V
Po had his eyes closed, thinking of (Y/n). Seeing her beautiful (e/c) looking at him, her beautiful smile, smiling towards him. But then He sees Shen grabbing her and taking her away from him. He desperately tried to reach her, but every time he got close to her, the more she was moving forward. Then an image appears, a Child, with white hair and having (E/C), but he has a (Y/N) smile but personality is like Shen.
Sometime later, Po is woken by water drops falling on his head, to find himself inside the ruins of a small house, bandaged and covered with acupuncture needles. He spots the Soothsayer sitting in front of a small fire, boiling something inside a pot. He attempts to crawl away on his back silently, wincing as he does so. The Soothsayer raises her head slightly when one of the creaks of the floorboards. Po freezes... then goes limp, playing dead. After a few seconds, Po opens his eyes to find Soothsayer right in his face
Po:"Ah! *jumps, then groans in pain. Soothsayer silently holds out a cup of unknown liquid.* Yeah... like you're going to get me to drink daw!"
Soothsayer sticks a needle in his forehead, making his eyes bulge and his mouth pop wide open. She tosses the medicine in his mouth and yanks out the needle, making him swallow. Whatever she gave him makes him gag as she returns to the fire.
Soothsayer:"If I wanted you dead, I would have left you in that river."
Po:"Why save me"
Soothsayer:"So you can fulfill your destiny."
Po:" What are you talking about? Where am I? What is this place?"
Soothsayer:"I am surprised that you remember so little... but then, you were so little when it happened."
I suddenly hear screaming inside my head and cry out in pain. I crawled towards the edge of the house. Soothsayer gazes at me.
Soothsayer:" Perhaps you do remember."
Po:" What? It's just a stupid nightmare."
Soothsayer:" Nightmare... or memory?"
Po gazes into a puddle just outside the ruin. His reflection changes into that of an infant laughing happily at his older self. Po looks up as another flashback takes over... this time, he sees a village full of villagers happily living their lives. Children rush by flying kites as farmers work in the fields. His parents wave sweetly as baby Po climbs down the stairs outside his house, clutching a tiny panda doll. Adult Po staggers out of the ruin as my memories return.
Soothsayer:" This was a thriving village. Young Shen was in line to rule Gongmen City... but he wanted more. I foretold that someone would stand in his way... a panda. But I never could have foretold what came next..."
Po is struck by another vision... It is night, and the entire village is in flames. The villages run for their lives as Shen and his guards begin their assault. In the midst of the massacre, baby Po sits outside his hut whimpering in fear, while clutching his doll. In the flames, he spots Shen and two wolves a short distance away. Shen notices the child.
Shen:"Get them all!"
The two large guards and one captain, one of which is recognized as Boss, leap at baby Po, jaws open wide. The child's eyes widen with terror... a male very similar to Po's nightmare leaps in front of Baby Po, armed with a rake. With a powerful swing, he strikes Boss directly in the eye and sends him and his comrade flying backwards. They fall past Shen, who stares in astonishment at the Villager
po father:" Take our son... and run away! Go!"
Po's mother grabs her son and flees. Baby Po loses his grip on the doll, and it bounces on the ground before being buried in flaming debris... In the present, adult Po reaches beneath an old piece of wood and finds his long lost toy. He stares at it before the visions strike again... once again, he sees his mother running away from her child... he stops, the memory now too painful to remember.
Soothsayer:" Stop fighting... let it flow..."
Po slowly relaxes... he sets down his old toy... he looks up at the rain falling down on his head then closes his eyes... he begins performing tai chi movements... he lifts his paw to catch a single raindrop as... Po's mother frantically runs into a forest quite like the one from Po's nightmare, all the other pandas either fleeing elsewhere or dead. In her arms, baby Po gazes ahead as Boss, his left eye now damaged, pursues them on all fours... His eyes still shut, Po moves the drop from one paw to another. It doesn't break... Po's mother dodges Boss as he lunges and falls into the snow. She quickly turns and runs deeper into the forests as more guards give chase... Adult Po continues to move the drop without breaking it... Po's mother rushes down a deep snow embankment, eluding the guards for now. She stops in front of a cart full of vegetable crates... She places baby Po inside a crate full of radishes.
Adult Po's eyes snap open. Po's mother begins to leave, just like in previous visions... Only this time, when baby Po begins to cry, she seems to change her mind, taking her son's little hands into her own, comforting him. Baby Po makes a "Ma!" sound as his mother kisses him on the forehead and clutches his paws tightly. His mother gazes lovingly at her child as he giggles... and then with tears in her eyes, she moves away, rushing back up the snowy hill. As her son watches, crying, she reaches the top of the hill, waves at someone and runs out of sight. Several warriors and Shen himself take off after her, not noticing baby Po as he is left alone in the radish basket...
Adult Po deposits the raindrop onto a small plant in the grass. He slowly falls into a sitting position, completely gutted. Soothsayer approaches as he fights back tears.
Soothsayer:" Your story may not have such a happy beginning... but that does not make you who you are. It is the rest of your story... who you choose to be..."
At this, Po looks up. His expression slowly changes as a new wave of memories floods over him... this time, he remembers his infant self tumbling out of the basket at a younger Mr. Ping's feet... Oogway chose him as the Dragon Warrior years later... his first day in the Jade Palace... meeting Shifu and the Furious Five... training under Shifu... reading the Dragon Scroll and understanding its meaning... defeating Tai Lung... Tigress bowing to him along with the Five, smiling at him for the first time... Tigress hugging him inside Gongmen Jail... a younger Mr. Ping gazing lovingly down at baby Po as he whimpers beneath the wok on his head... Mr. Ping feeding baby Po on his makeshift crib. Then he remembers meeting Princess (Y/n) and her family. A wave of memories remembers the time they spent together and how they fell in love.
Po's eyes were burning into a desire to conquer the Princess back. He imagines her by his side
Soothsayer:"So... who are you, Warrior?"
Po slowly gets to his feet. His eyes narrow as he is filled with a new determination.
Po:"I am Po... and I'm gonna need a hat."
Your P.O.V
You changed your black and gold Hanfu, into Gold and White, but your hair had more accessories. You sihh and see the ready for you. Before you enter you felt Shen putting something, you notice a maid rushing for you and gives you a mirror. It was a silver hairpin peacock. You look at him and see him smiling and kissing your cheek.
Shen:" Go inside my Empress."
You obey his others, in the name of your people, in the name of his people you were going to obey to his orders.
A red torch suddenly looms, illuminating an unconscious Furious Five and your best friend wrapped together in chains. The bright light revives them. Tigress blinks then glare furiously at something. See that it is Lord Shen and Boss the one holding the torch. We were inside the boat somewhere in the City
But you were hurt, you were ashamed, but you were thinking about this child you have inside your womb, you see the Boss looking at you while checking the things on the boat. Shen was staring forward.
Shen:"Such sad, sad faces. But now is a time only for joy."
You see Shen grinning at the forward and then towards you, he was by your side and put his arm around you and whispered to your ear.
Shen:"You are going to be part of something beautiful. Once we reach the harbour, in front of all the world, you and your precious kung fu will die.* He turns away from them.* Then China will know to bow before me. Set sail!"
You low your head and feel tears going up, but you tried so hard to be strong. You began to think about Po, if he was alright. Some distance in front of the armada, several citizens watch the scene from a small bridge stretching across the canal. Boss turns to Shen.
Boss:"Lord Shen, what about the bridge?"
Shen:" Nothing stands in my way."
A cannon at the front of the line is aimed towards the bridge. The citizens realize what is about to happen and flee for their lives. Your eyes wide and try to stop them, you hear a cannon. You knew, you lost your control on Shen.
Shen:" There, nothing stands in my way to conquer China."
You were angry, he put everyone in danger, you weren't going to stay still and stay quiet.
You:" How dare you! You were going to hurt innocent people."
Shen:" Nothing stays in my way, not even you, my Empress. Did I know your little games, trying to keep me good? Making me all the wishes, even trying to get me tired by sleeping with me and doing your nought games? Not a bad move. No, my love, you are clever, very clever. That's why I love you so much."
Your cheeks get red by embarrassment, you look aside. You felt his fingers on your chin and kissed you passionately. You tried to hit on his chest. but he grabbed you and bit your neck, it was almost coming out a moan to your throat, but your eyes wide and pushed him.
You:" You promise, nothing, but nothing would come to harm your people! Our People! Shen stop this nonsense! As your Empress!"
Shen:'' As Empress, I demand respect. Don't forget I am the Emperor.. You have my child inside your womb, maybe once we get to your home and by the time we arrive. Maybe our heir needs a sibling. What do you think about it? I can't wait to make you scream in pleasure inside those palaces once you live and raise."
You:"Shen! Don't play with it! Don't say those things!"
You felt him holding your waist and kissing your neck and kissing you and pulling you close and leading you somewhere. You saw it was a small bedroom. You were blushing and looking around. But he put you on the bed and grinned more.
Shen:'' Finally my destiny is fulfilled. I have a beautiful Empress, I am so lucky."
You sigh and put your hands on his cheeks and look serious into his red-coloured eyes.
You:" Shen, I am begging you. Stop, there is still time. We can rule this city. You can be an Emperor. Be good to your people. People will love you and respect you."
Shen looks aside and sits with you and sees a silver hairpin and smiles softly. He looks at you and softly rubs your cheek. In the end, you knew he loved you more than anything. You smile at him, you show your (e/c) gentle look. Which you notice Shen blushing madly and smiling goofily.
You heard the commotion. You both went outside and saw Po. Your tears roll down and smile. You saw Shen getting angry and order nervously around.
Then you saw him freeing the Furious Five and your friend. Then you saw them coming towards you but were surrounded, but then the other masters came and you saw Shifu! You were so happy inside.
You saw Shifu order the Furious Five and the others to block the way with Shen boats. But then you saw Shen angry at the boss.
Shen:"Why aren't we firing?!"
Boss:"They're taking out our gunners, sir! They're getting close!"
Shen:"Fire. Fire! F-Fire at them!"
Boss:"But, sir, we'll kill our own!"
Shen:"I said fire at them! FIRE!"
You saw the Boss looking at you and bow to you but then flung down the torch. He said no to Shen. You saw Shen killing him by throwing a knife, you gasp and run to Boss and holding him. You saw him coughing blood and holding your hand. You were trying to help him by taking the knife but the Boss looked at you.
Boss:" Thank you. You are really a blessing... Sorr.."
You:" Please dont speak... Please...."
You saw him dying in your arms, you looked down and used your hands and covered his eyes. You were an Empress after all, your duty was for your people. You really understood the weight of the decisions.
Shen leaps onto his large cannon and directs it towards the warriors, just as they reach the front of the boat. Po freezes, realizing that the cannon is aimed directly at him. Shen grins evilly... lights the fuse with his metal talons... You scream at Shen and Po's name, then see them flying. Your eyes wide and see Shen laughing madly.
You saw in the distance, Po, you saw him swimming somewhere, for Tigress. You really understood. You and him were not meant for each other. You felt rage, you felt anger, you felt your blood boiling. Everything you did for them and Po went for Tigress always for her. But then you see Shen laugh as Po reaches an upturned boat and slowly climbs on. He turns and faces the entire fleet. Shen looks on as Po closes his eyes..
Shen:"As you wish... *To his soldiers* Let's finish this."
You see the cannon aim at Po. Po closes his eyes as the cannonball rapidly approaches. In his mind, the cannonball briefly takes the image of a raindrop. The words 'inner peace' echo in his mind as Po closes his eyes again... the cannonball is seconds from hitting the panda when he suddenly reaches out and catches the cannonball... redirecting it away from him. Shen and Shifu stare in pure astonishment as their eyes track the cannonball's flight into the water surrounding Po. An astounded Tigress lifts her head higher. Po grins and lifts his gloved hand.. and realizes that it's on fire. You were impressed, you looked at Shen, who was pale and he looked at you.
Shen kept ordering to fire more, Po always did his thing. A large cannonball explodes out the mouth and sores directly towards Po. Po grabs this ball... and yells as the momentum pushes him and the upturned boat backwards several feet. The ball spins in his paws and Po spins into the air, taking a spiral of water up with him. He lands back on the boat, and begins spinning round and round in a full circle... briefly morphing into a fiery Yin Yang symbol almost exactly like Soothsayer's vision. Shen is stunned at the sight. Po reverts to normal, swings his arm forward...
Po:"Skadoosh!"
Your eyes wide and see someone cover you, it was Shen, he was trying to protect you. The cannon hit the boat. When the smoke clears, early morning has arrived. On the deck of his destroyed ship, a disheveled Shen coughs as he regains consciousness. He looks up at his destroyed cannon, tilted high in the air, held up by several ropes. He turns his head to see his ruined fleet on both sides of the ship. Shen is in disbelief.
Shen:" Are you alright... My empress..."
You open your eyes and look around, Shen was crying. He was worried about you more than anything else, Shen was holding you tight around. You saw Po looking at you, you saw Shen angry look at Po.
Shen:"H-how did you... *He turns his head slightly- Po is standing a couple of feet behind him.* How did you do it?"
Po:"You know, you just gotta keep your elbows up and keep the shoulders loose..."
Shen:"Not that! How did you find peace? I took away your parents! Everything! I-- I scarred you for life."
Po:"See, that's the thing, Shen, scars heal."
Shen:"No, they don't... wounds heal."
Po:"Oh, yeah. What do scars do? They fade I guess."
Shen:"I don't care what scars do."
Po:"You should, Shen. You gotta let go of that stuff from the past 'cause it just doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now."
Shen:"You're right. Then I choose... THIS!"
Shen pulls out some blades and lunges furiously at Po. Barely manages to dodge and is soon on the defensive as the two fight once more. Shen swings furiously, catching Po's face and slicing off. Shen flings the last of his knives, which are caught in the piece of driftwood Po manages to shield himself with. Shen grabs his lance and continues his assault. Po and Shen continue to fight, Po evading Shen's attacks which are unknown to them both are cutting through the ropes holding up the ruined cannon. The cannon eventually begins to topple. Po sees the coming danger and runs for the ship's bow, but he holds you and jumps off the boat with you.
You saw Shen looking at you, standing his arm to reach you, and mumble something, your eyes wide and tears fell down you tried to reach into his hand.
You:" Shen!!!!!!!"
Holding onto some driftwood, Po's friends look on in shock, while the citizens watch nervously. A moment passes... then Po with you surfaces some distance from the destroyed ship, latching on to a piece of wood. The crowd cheers. Po glances at the ship and you. You were crying in the woods. You were tired of people dying because of you. Once you reached the dock, you saw your friend.
Chánjuān:" (Y/n)...."
You were crying and holding her. You were sobbing under control. You felt her hands on your hair.
Capital
You were inside the carriage going to the capital. You felt the belly bigger but you felt kicking. Chánjuān was now married to Crane. Both of them were inside with you and looked at the belly and Crane talking about it.
Since you left Gongmen City. You were different, you heard your guards stopping the carriage. You hear a familiar voice, a voice you missed a lot.
Emperor Hu:" Where is she?!"
You saw the door is open, you saw your brothers, they were looking at you, smiling but soon they looked at your belly, they kept smiling.
Prince Jing:" Welcome home sister."
Emperor:" My baby sister. Welcome. Please don't be shy."
You were smiling and seeing their hands standing, you holding them and seeing them looking down and making sure you won't trip down or fall down. Then in the distance, you saw your mother. She had white hair and her Hanfu was black and white. She saw you and ran to you and hugged you.
Mother:" My baby! My little princess! Oh, my baby!"
She noticed your belly and she knew right away who it belonged to, but held your hand. She was smiling to have you back, and she ordered the maids to have the best palace near the Palace Lake. You saw Po looking at you and giving you one last chance to talk to you. But your Brother Hu and Jing got in the middle.
Emperor Hu:" As Emperor. Thank you Dragon Warrior for saving my sister. And bringing her back. Your reward awaits you on Palace Jade."
Po:" Well, I actually want to talk to Princess (Y/n)."
Prince Jing:" I think my brother Hu was very clear about it. Once our sister arrives at the Palace she will be taken care of."
Po:" Please! Let me tal!"
Emperor:" As an Emperor, I gave you one opportunity. Since you save China. I will grant it."
You saw your mother keep holding you but you look at her and nod. You slowly walk towards Po.
You:" Are you going to say goodbye for the last time."
Po:" No. What I said at the fireworks Factory was serious! I wish to be with you. Take care of this little one. It's not mine. I know. I did stupid things. But my heart belongs to you. I want you to give us a second chance."
You look at him, your mouth is dropped, you look at your family, and then to the other side, Po and Furious Five. You close your eyes.
You had to smile for a little, but then you turn to him and put your gentle hand to his cheek and mumble in a low voice.
You:" I cant. I am sorry, I cannot bring myself to suffer. You have someone else. Like I did. You and Tigress belong to each other. Be happy, Dragon Warrior."
Po:" (Y/n)....Please...I am begging you..."
You smile and began to leave to your family, you heard Po screaming at your name, but the guards were blocking him. You enter the main gate while your brother Hu were watching the Dragon Warrior being taken out. You had tears rolling down but you knew he would find happiness somewhere.
Ship time
You gave birth to a healthy boy, His hair was white and had a mix of (e/c) with red eyes. His personality is Yours. The child name was 圣嘉 (shèng meaning emperor; holy; sacred; sage; saint holy, sacred)(jiā meaning fine; good; praise excellent; joyful; auspicious) his age is 8. You loved this child so much even the whole palaces knew it and won't dare to touch your son. Your Brother Hu and Jing loved their nephew so much. Even your brother comment he would make Shengjia crown prince if he keeps with a good path and loyalty to his rein. Since most of your brother's sons were killed in the war.
You were wearing a white and red and black Hanfu with silver hairpins and gently make up.
You had more bodyguards than ever. Your brother Hu wanted to protect you more than anything in his life, and his nephew.
You saw your child playing with his pet in the gardens of the palace you live in, a little dog that your Brother Hu and Jing gave him. His laugh and his determination were alike Shen. His determination to conquer the world was his domed. You sigh and went inside, you open a small wardrobe and put out a small wooden box. You open and you pick the silver peacock. You smile and remember Shen. His smile, his eyes, his loving and caring person. He had his bad side but he would do anything to make you smile. And he did, he gave you a child. You realise you fell in love with him and Po at the same time, but you chose to let Po go and live his life, while you stay with yours.
You began to sing a spring song, it was sad and you began to dance. Your hair floated with the dance moves and you close your eyes and remember the little memories you both shared.
You: "春有百花秋有月 Chun you baihua qiu you yuè
夏有凉风冬有雪 Xiàyouliáng feng dong you xue
若无闲事挂心头 Ruò wú xiánshì guà xintóu
便是人间好时节 Biàn shì rénjian hao shíjié
好来好往好聚首 Hao lái hao wang hao jùshou
春去秋来再团圆 Chun qù qiu lái zài tuányuán
春去秋来再团圆 Kujìnganlái rén zìxing
平平淡淡悟一生 Píngpíng dàndàn wù yisheng."
You repeat the version once more, tears went down, you remember the spring of Gongmen City and Shen holding you seen the flowers bloom, at night Shen would held your hand and kissed it and kiss your tempers. How beautiful it was, how splendour it was how sweet it was. You look at the box again and see his painting. You close your eyes and touch his painting.
You:" What I am going to do, without you. I miss you."
You heard someone coming, you hid the paintings and the box inside the wardrobe, you were pretending reading something when you turn around and see your brother Jing. He was pale and breathing hard and shaking.
Jing:" There is something you and your child need to see."
You run to your gardens and see your child and grab him and walk aside him while you follow your brother jing.
You went street inside the palace, and you saw the gate leading to the basement jail, you gulp, knowing fully well what is happening inside because of the stories you had heard.
You saw the guards looking at you and open the door, you enter, you see your child scared, you got down and kissed his forehead.
You:" Mommy is here, don't worry."
You saw your Brother Hu alongside advisors. You bow to them and look at your brother, he held your hand and his nephew.
Emperor Hu:" I have news...But it was a surprise for us. Shen is alive, my men capture him walking to the roads. "
Your eyes wide and look at the hallway full of bars of prisons. Your brother Hu and jing accompany you to the cell Shen was. You were nervous and anxious for seen him after 8 years.
You got close to the cell and see someone with white hair and facing the small window. You heard him groaning.
Shen:" What you princes want...Isn't enough of you torment me."
You see him turning his face towards you. Your eyes wide more and put your hands to your mouth. His eyes widen more as he sees you so close.
(Shen is alive this side ending but he would like that if he survive. )
Your child peeks at the man and grab a little silk of your hanfu and shake it a little.
Shengjia:" Mommy, who is that man? Why does he resemble so much like me..."
You:" Because, my treasure. That man is your father... Shen this is your child, Shengjia."
Shen:" Shengjia? Nice name, my empress. in heart and soul, I conquer you. You almost gave my name to our child."
Your lips quiver and your body began to shake, your eyes were focused on his red-colour eyes. Your eyes began to tear up, you got close to the bars of the cell, you stand your hand to him. He held you and kissed your hand in a respectful way.
Shen:" My empress, I miss the smell of your skin and the gentle touch of yours."
You:" How...."
Shen:" I stayed alive because I thought it was the best to see you once more before I died here.. by your brother sword."
Your lips quiver more and stare at your brother Hu. He had that hatred eyes on Shen like the fire. While Jing's eyes were cold as the ice in winter. They both hated Shen for what he did. But they never could hate or blame the child for his father past mistakes.
You turn to them and kneel down and beg to Shen live. Both your brothers and advisers were surprised but in shock.
You:" Please, Shen is the father of my child! Shengjia is the same blood as him! But you love your nephew!"
Hu:" Because he is your child too! Shengjia is a good bet about getting past the throne! He has good qualities than Shen! Because we taught him good teachings about life! Sister (Y/n)! I can't believe you are begging me to free him."
You:" My love is for him! Kill me too and your only nephew! is you don't love us that much!"
Hu:" Sister... I love you both so much! Fine! I will free him! But one thing in mind Shen if you ever get out of the palace you going live. You are a dead man."
Shen:" Very well, as long I have your sister near me."
Jing:" Bastard*mumble* Sister are you sure. We can make a deal."
You:" What is brother."
Hu:" We can build a Palace in Gongmen City as a peace meaning. As long Shen is good and doesn't do that again... We might forgive him... Everyone deserves a second chance."
Shen:" Sound good to me, but I need an army, and anything to make, this Empress smile again. I fell in love so hard, being away from her is a death sentence for me."
You smile at him and see the guard open the door and Shen slowly comes to you and hug you. You hug him and put your child near you both. He smiled and hugged you too.
Months later you and Shen and your son came to Gongmen City after the Palace was rebuild. Everyone was in shock, but Shen changed a lot, he put fireworks shine more than stars, he began to help the citizens with the problems. Shen became a good person and an excellent Emperor.
You were hearing a different Hanfu, it was more mature and more Empress like. But at the same time, it resembles the hardship you did as Empress.
You and Shen were walking to the gardens, as you felt your hands getting cold, you felt his warm hands touching yours.
Shen:" Did I ever told you how beautiful you are. "
You:" Many times."
Shen:" Good, because for me, you are the only woman I will ever love. Because in my heart was empty when I see you being taken from me. That Dragon Warrior held you and..:"
You:" Shen...."
You saw Shen tearing a little, he began to hold you more and you both see the fireworks. You smile and gentle passing your gentle fingers to his bear. You blush madly because you found out you were attracted to Shen beard, it was handsome and so mature. You notice Shen notices your weakness, he chuckle and grabs you and kissed you more.
Shen:" Let's get to work, my empress. "
You:" of course, my Emperor."
You both laugh and giggle, you were happy. When you both arrive in your room, you see him lock the door and grin at you. You blush madly and look aside and feeling shy.
Shen:" Well, this going to be a long night. Better to enjoy as much as you wish, my (Y/n)."
You smile more and kissed him and put your arms around his neck. While feeling his hand roaming to your Hanfu and take off the golden hairpins but one hairpin stays, it was his.
Shen:" You look beautiful, so beautiful that the gods gave me another chance to be with you."
You:" I love you..."
Shen:" I love billions. "
Later in the night, you were resting in his arms, even with his burning side, you always thought he was attractive. You run your fingers to his chest and kiss his neck more and resting your head to his chest and listen to his heartbeat, you knew it was mean to be. Your love was on fire because of Shen.
