KFP: The Paws Of Destiny AU
Since this takes place in, near & mostly around the Valley Of Peace, some things will be changed to fit the narrative.
"Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny follows the adventures of four energetic panda kids: Nu Hai, Bao, Jing, & Fan Tong. When the friends stumble upon a mystical cave beneath Panda Village, they have no idea they're about to absorb the chi, or energy, of ancient kung fu warriors known as the Four Constellations. Now it's up to them to save the world from an evil force — but first, Master Po must teach them how to use their newfound powers.
Based on traditional Chinese astronomy, the Four Constellations—Blue Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger & Red Phoenix—are said to have been the first warriors to achieve total mastery of chi. A few millennia ago, the masters used their powers to defeat their corrupt master, Jindiao. Worried their good chi couldn't exist without a powerful dark chi to balance it out, the masters then sealed themselves into an underground temple to keep the world safe. Little did they know that Jindiao still lives. If Jindiao can absorb the Four Constellations’ chi and restore himself to his purest form, the world will be in grave danger."
Keep in mind I wrote this down 3 years ago and have not seen half of Season 2 yet or even remember most of what happened in Season 1. I like the idea of this being more spreaded out instead of one arc at a time because it feels overwhelming to me personally. It's to have Jindiao be the big bad and endgame villain by the end of the series/season while the New Constellations get a rogues gallery as they progress, not to mention their training developments.
Anyways underneath are unedited changes I would do but not actually write, just some ideas.
Spoilers, obviously.
