The Zillo Beast Strikes Back

## Premise

kung fu warriors forces bring the Zillo Beast back to the valley of peace for study. When it escapes, the kung fu masters must choose between saving millions of lives and destroying the Zillo Beast, the last of its kind.

## Synopsis

The Zillo Beast is transported to the valley of peace for study. Thundering Rhino is skeptical and fears that the creature is too dangerous to have been brought to the valley, though master Shifu assures him that determining the secret of its invulnerability will bring a closer end to the war. Rhino brings his concerns to Daniel, who believes that, regarding what the Zillo Beast is capable of, bringing the creature to the valley of peace is not worth the possible military benefits. When Rhino explains that Shifu failed to heed his warnings about the danger, Daniel suggests they let someone else try.

Meanwhile, study of the Zillo Beast is taken under personal study by Doctor Sionver Boll, who has it sedated and restrained. As she explains to Shifu, attempting to remove the creature's scales to examine them in order to synthesize a stronger armor would be extremely painful to it. Shifu suggests that killing it would be the best option. Boll protests, stating that the Zillo Beast isn't only the last of its kind, it may also be sentient; Shifu dismisses the possibility, stating that the giant beast is simply an animal; the beast growls at his comment and stares hatefully at the red panda. Shifu orders the use of the Malastarian fuel to be used as a poison to quickly kill the beast and threatens to replace Boll if she doesn't have the stomach to do it.

At the Senate, Tai Lung sees Daniel talking to Leopard. He quickly guesses that she and Daniel want him to talk to Shifu to discuss the fate of the Zillo Beast. Leopard points out that the beast was brought to the valley of peace against its will and has no literal voice to defend itself. Reluctantly, Tai Lung agrees. When both he and Leopard meet with Shifu, the latter and Mas Amedda try justifying that killing the beast is for the greater good, to which Leopard challenges that killing the last of a species in secret and without discussion can be good for none; Tai Lung stays neutral and acknowledges both points of view: Shifu remarks that Daniel and Elida taught him well, though Leopard is less impressed that Tai Lung is taking Shifu's side, not hers.

Back in Boll's lab, she attempts to administer a small dosage of Malastarian fuel as a poison gas to euthanize the Zillo beast. Unfortunately, when a small amount was applied, the creature becomes agitated and aggressive, breaks free of its bonds, smashes its way out of the laboratory and starts rampaging across the valley of peace, unhindered by all efforts to stop it. When it sees the Senate, it makes its way towards it, planning on getting revenge on Shifu. Shifu, Daniel, and Sonic evacuate to the former's escape shuttle, only to be caught by the beast just as they take off. Daniel comes up with a dangerous plan to free them by slicing off the front part of the shuttle, while Oogway and Olivia distract the beast. But when the front half splits off, Daniel, Leopard, Sonic and the magic chair fall out, while the Shifu and a Senate Commando fall a level below, escaping a certain death thanks to Tai Lung and Thundering Rhino, who Force-grip the front half of the Shifu's ships, interrupting its course. Blue Ship manages to grapple himself to the side of the building, preventing the magic chair from continuing his fall, while Daniel helps Leopard up from slipping off the edge. The Zillo beast then attempts to crush Shifu with its hand, only for Blue Ship to quickly fly in and save him, while the commando is crushed saving him. Gunships arrive and open fire; at Shifu's orders, they fire flares first to get the Zillo Beast's attention, then when it roars at them, the gunships fire poison gas bombs straight into the monster's mouth. As the gunships continue to bomb the beast, the gas cloud begins to spread, though Daniel, Oogway and Olivia use the elements to protect themselves, Shifu and Amidala from the gas. As all the masters look on in regret, the Zillo Beast, confused, in pain and dying, finally succumbs to the poison and falls from the roof of the Senate to its death below.

The next morning, the body of the Zillo Beast is carted away. Daniel laments that it was sacrificed for their mistakes. Shifu promises everyone that he'll make sure that sacrifice was not in vain. As he and Daniel part ways, Shifu gives new orders to Dr. Boll: clone the Zillo Beast.
