What?" Shen exclaimed incredulously as the ship suddenly appeared coming into the harbor, right when Huang Yu predicted. "Impossible!" he gasped. "That's just..."
"Uncanny!" Po said, eyes widening as a grin passed over his face. "Come on guys! Let's go!" he shouted, waving them on to the docks.
"A way of life..." Viper mused to herself as they made their way to the ship, reflecting on what Huang Yu had said.
"Greetings, travelers!" one of the crew, a gazelle, stated as they neared.
"Hey!" Po greeted in return. "We were just like you know, wondering if you'd transport us to Gongmen City!"
"You're the Dragon Warrior, aren't you?" asked the gazelle with a smile. "And the Furious Five!"
"Yeah! And like... some other really cool guys, too!" Po added, motioning to their entourage. "We're here to bring justice to Gongmen City!"
"Uh... save it really." Mantis added, holding a forelimb to his head and shaking it a bit.
"Hey isn't that Lord Shen, the city's prince?" asked the gazelle?
"Who him? Pfft! No!" Po said, waving his paw dismissively. "Lord Shen totally died, ya know?" he said, trying to sound confidential.
"Uh... right... I just could've sworn..."
"Hey if you'll take us, thank you SO much!" Po interjected, trying to keep the conversation off Lord Shen.
"Right well... come aboard!" he motioned, letting them get safely aboard his junk as he started unloading his cargo.
"Oh hey! I can help with that!" Mantis offered, throwing up a box over his miniscule body and carrying it off the ship before going for another one.
Lord Shen strode to the bow of the junk, his armored legs clanking as he gazed out over the harbor and watched the sun as it began to set. Soon... he'd be back home... soon... he'd have to confront the demons... and what was that thing that had struck him in the chest? Was it still withing him?
