More than a dragon Warrior

[Tai Lung's POV]

"Why are you doing this to me~?" She moaned and cried.

I would have felt pity if she was not a traitor. Now, I was only focused on myself and fulfilling my needs.

And as the strongest warrior in the world and a beast, I had great needs.

"Can I get at least one?"

"No, you are not getting a single fish tonight." I said and chomped down on the roasted fish, "You can eat your rice and stew."

We were on our way to the next city of Tibet but there were no carts that we could use for our travel so we had to travel by foot. And Mei as a human was not the best at travelling on foot so our journey had been rather slow.

Although I could pick her up and fly to our destination, I preferred walking on foot and giving time for things to settle down. Plus, I enjoyed the slow journey quite a bit.

"You have dozens of them." She said, not satisfied with her rice and stew.

"I need dozens of them. Besides, consider this a punishment for what you did" I replied while eating my food. It was afternoon and the sun had nearly set in the horizon. After catching all the fish in a pond I found, I made dinner.

She grumbled under her breath and shoved her rice in her mouth before eating the stew. I saw her ears twitch and her tails wagged when she tried the stew.

It was no secret that I was a great cook.

It has been two days since the end of the battle and what could I say except I was enjoying myself. I finally accomplished my goal of being the strongest and cementing my legacy in this world.

Of course, there was always the desire to be even stronger and leave a greater legacy but the fundamental of my dream was accomplished.

It brought me immense joy and satisfaction but there was also a feeling of emptiness in my heart.

What's next? Have I fulfilled my purpose already? Is this the curse of being too good, a drawback of being a genius?

World Domination sounded like a fun idea but the reason why I aligned with Shen and agreed to it in the first place was because I wanted to get experience and grow from the wars.

And I did. I have grown exponentially during the many battles and wars I had to face.

So was it really necessary?

'I wonder what people who are at the peak of thier world do?' I thought to myself and went through many other powerful people in my head.

Should I take in disciples? I mean other than my obvious students, I could start teaching people seriously.

Start investing in the next generation, and all that stuff.

Or...

Maybe I could start a family, a clan. Huh, I remembered I always thought of doing so but since I believed the road to being the strongest would be too long at that time, I never even considered it.

"Can I get more?" Mei asked and I gave her a second serving. Her tails wagged more and her eyes literally shone like stars. She looked cute.

Maybe using chi to cook was a bit much. But then again, I could do anything I wanted when I had an infinite amount of it.

I leaned back and stared at her in thought. I liked spending time with her and I was not sure why that was the case. Maybe it was due to her being a human that it gave me a sense of familiarity I could not get anywhere else.

Also, she was different from everyone else in a sense that I never knew about her. Everyone else in this life, I had already known them. I knew them from watching the kung fu panda movies and series or I knew them in the past, when I was just 'that' Tai Lung.

But she was the first one I met who continued to stick with me. The first time we knew each other was when I was already who I am, a man and beast.

So in that sense, she was indeed special.

Oh, and there was the fact that she had a special chi unlike no one ever has and it was hereditary. I found her beautiful - which was rare since I didn't find the animals in this world too appealing, especially sexually.

Okay...

"Would you bear me a child, Mei?"

*Spits!!*

"W-What!!" She stammered loudly and a deep shade of red coloured her cheeks. Her eyes shook with emotions I could read but too many to decipher.

"Oh, you've been thinking about it too?" I asked seeing her reaction. If she was not thinking about it, her reaction would be only surprise and disbelief due to how out of pocket it was. But here she was, giving me an appropriate response instantly.

"Huh? N-No! Not like that!" She stood up and waved her hands in denial.

She was truly a strange girl. She could be so serious in moments when I inquired her about the enemy, ruthless when it came to violence and completely detached when it came to the matter of morals.

But at the same time, she was also very innocent.

"What kind of question is even that?" She asked.

"It just popped into my head and I was wondering how you would feel about it."

"Well," She trailed and calmed herself, "I wouldn't deny it,I promised to serve you as a king after all." She blushed again after saying that.

I hummed, "Really?"

"Yeah, I was shocked at first because I never expected it from you, but I guess it makes sense. It's not that uncommon for a king to want a demi-human to breed." She said, her voice an octave lower. Her rosy cheeks still remained on her snow skin, but her eyes told a different story now.

I paused, oops.

Did I come off like that?

Like a king who wanted her to have kids because of greed for her special chi. I mean, I would love it if my children inherited such an advantage but that was only one of the reasons. And I never thought of breeding her like a tool.

"We can get married," I said with a shrug but then her eyes snapped towards me. This time with an expression of true disbelief, she never thought of that.

"Why would you marry me?"

"Well for starters I don't hate your company, maybe you have a few screws loose in the head but so do I. And I said this before but I think you are beautiful. Add to the fact that you could give me powerful children, why not." I said seriously.

She was stunned. She took a moment to think over my words and her eyes glazed over.

In the end, she brought up her plate and then threw them at me. I tilted my head and the plate missed.

"Stop messing with me!" She said and got up quickly before leaving. She did not go far, merely sat down behind a tree.

She was upset.

I sighed and wondered what I had done wrong. She probably thought I was messing with her because of the casual way I was addressing the issue when in truth, I did not know how else to go about it.

I stood up and also left our camp to give her some space while she was upset. I also left six perfectly roasted fish behind.

[3rd POV]

On a farm located in the nothernmost region of China, there were two farmers who had decided to live there, away from the ongoing conflicts in the west.

They were Nie Li and Xu Xinger, a rabbit and a duck respectively.

It was like any other day, the afternoon sun was melting on the horizon and it was almost time for them to stop working and rest for the day. But they continued doing thier work, demand for food had been heavy since the war started.

But as they worked diligently, an event on a universal scale occurred. The darkening sky lit up in brilliant green as a nebula converged in the sky.

They stopped working and looked at the sky in wonder.

"Hey did you see that?"

"Yeah, I saw it."

"Do you think its caused by Tai Lung again?" The rabbit asked with a gulp. This was not the first time they experienced this kind of things after all.

"Most likely."

Then the sky opened up and a rift that ripped space and time appeared with the bright colour of green. The fabric of reality was cut as a green pillar of light fell onto the earth.

The world trembled and the surrounding chi got absorbed by the pillar of light. Everything the two friends worked hard to grow in thier field, died down in an instant.

The earth was drained of life.

An explosion of green light fell on thier farm and it created a massive crater. There was a release of energy so potent that it almost looked liquid.

After a few seconds, the brilliant light died down and the farmers ran towards the crater to see what just happened.

In the middle of the crater, they saw - not the Omnitrix - but a giant bull who had green swords and many pendent around his waist and on his neck.

He released a gust of wind from his nose like a feral beast before he rose to his full height. The farmers stumbled back and they shook at the sheer aura and stregth the bull was giving off.

With eyes glowing eerie green, he rose to the height of 12 feet with muscles that looked monstrous even from afar.

He turned to the farmers and walked towards them. Each step he took caused a vibration that shook the world as if reality was resisting every move he made.

He towered over the two farmers who hugged each other in terror.

"Tell me, would you die if I stepped on you?" He asked. His voice rumbled down his throat, deep and ancient.

"Yes!!" They answered.

His eyes released a glow.

"The Mortal Realm. Did you hear that Oogway? " He said with a smile and he turned around and looked to the sky as if challenging fate.

He spread his arm and his voice came out rageful and accomplished.
