Blue Shadow Virus

## Premise

Leopard, Elida and Zeng are captured while searching for a secret Empire bio-weapons lab, sparking Daniel, Sonic, Tai Lung and Esther into trying to save their friends and halt the release of a deadly virus.

## Synopsis

Leopard, Elida, Zeng and Green Car arrive in Gongmen City and are greeted by Queen Neeyutnee and Captain Typho. The Queen demands that she petition the Senate or the Kung Fu Council to assist them; Elida says that a scout team of Arkeyan droids is not enough proof, which is why they must analyze the tactical droid caught from the scouting party. After taking out the droid's eyes, they trick it into thinking it is with the Arkeyans and have it reported. All the droid can tell is a top secret lab in Gongmen City before being crushed by Zeng's bumbling when the latter tries to catch a blue bug emerging from one of the Arkeyan droid's bodies. It is found the bug could have only come from the Eastern swamps, in whose mud the Arkayens tactical droid is covered. They contact Master Oogway and Master Thundering Rhino and ask them to send the rest of the team: Daniel, Sonic and Tai Lung. Elida, Leopard and Zeng then opt to personally search for this secret lab while the others extract as much information from the other Arkeyan droids.

Out in the plains, a female Goose, who shepherd cows called Peppi Bow notices that a few of her cows start to collapse dead, so she ushers her herd away, realizing that the river they drank from is tainted. Soon after, Leopard, Elida and Zeng arrive, but they are attacked by Peppi until Elida brings up her blaster. Peppi directs them to follow the river to find the source and offers to guide them, but Leopard declines, instead sending for an escort back to Tower of the Sacred Flame. As they traverse the swamp, they are being spied on by a camera. Then they find a secret hatch, but there is no way to open it. Suddenly, they are surrounded by Arkeyan Defenders, Arkeyan Hammahs and Arkeyan Jousters, taken prisoner and placed into the bunker. The man in charge, Dr. Nuvo Vindi, reveals that he has recreated the Blue Shadow Virus, a deadly disease that was wiped out from the kung fu panda-wall long ago. He had also perfected it, able to turn it from a liquid strain into an airborne strain, which would be used to eradicate the warmongers.

Upon arriving on Gongmen City, Daniel, Sonic, Esther and Tai Lung learn of Leopard, Elida and Zeng's departure. Daniel sends Eesther with Peppi to find them, while the rest of them analyze the data from one of the lobotomized droids. They find out that Vindi is planning on the areas in the wall. Typho directs them to Vindi's secret lab, which has three entrances. Daniel fears the risk of contamination, but Sonic states that one city is less than the entire kung fu panda-wall. Esther and Peppi search the swamp, inadvertently find a spy cam and manage to hide from it. Esther contacts Daniel, Sonic and Tai Lung, who instruct her to detonate a bomb in the south bunker while they enter through the hatches. Daniel and Sonic then joins with Rex and his men to start the mission; Tai Lung reminds him that the safety of the kung fu panda-wall is worth more than Leopard's life and she may already be dead. Esther levitates a thermal detonator, perfectly dropping it on the hatch and distracting many of the Arkeyan droids to her position; Rex and his team also arrive to assist her as they hack their way through droids before having to retreat with the entrance of Arkeyan Slamshocks and Arkeyan Shield Juggernauts. This allows the others to infiltrate the base unheard. But as Daniel and Sonic enters Vindi's lab, he finds Vindi torturing his hostages with electricity, forcing him and his clones to surrender. As Vindi leaves Leopard, Elida and Zeng to suffer, he runs off with his virus bomb; Daniel breaks free and saves them. Tai Lung arrives with the Bomb Squad. Unfortunately, as Tai Lung and the bomb squad finds all the bombs, Vindi activates them. With Vindi and another droid each carrying a detonator, they split up between the two. Tai Lung tries to catch Vindi, but the villain throws away a number of virus vials, forcing Tai Lung to catch them while Vindi makes his escape. Meanwhile, Elida, Leopard and Zeng track down the droid, managing to prevent it from escaping. With the bomb squad's help, they are able to deactivate all the bombs, just as they capture Vindi.
