Chapter 23: Po Vs. Tai Lung Pt. 1

Tai Lung turns around to find Po standing in the doorway.

PO (CONT'D)

(Out of breath)

"Stairs..."

Tai Lung casts Shifu aside.

TAI LUNG

"Who are you?"

PO

"Buddy, I am the Dragon Warrior.

(Exhales hard)

Huhhh..."

TAI LUNG

"You?! Him?!

(To Shifu)

He's a panda.

(Back to Po)

You're a panda. What are you gonna do, big guy? Sit on me?

PO

"Don't tempt me. Haha. No. I'm gonna use this. You want it? Come and get it."

Po shows him the Dragon Scroll.

From out of nowhere, Tai Lung appears and punches Po across the room, grabbing the scroll knocked from Po's hands.

TAI LUNG

"Finally!"

Po bounces off a nearby pillar and slams back into Tai Lung, sending him flying into a column. Po puts on a brave face and strikes a pose as Tai Lung recovers and charges. Po turns to run.

Tai Lung quickly catches up and they both sail off the Palace steps.

Po clings to the scroll as Tai Lung delivers a kick and sends him crashing onto the theater rooftops below.

Po rolls down off a tree and uses the recoil to whip back and smash Tai Lung. He briefly skids across the rooftop and comes right back at Po.

TAI LUNG (CONT'D)

"That scroll is mine!"

Down the Theater steps, Po and Tai Lung grapple for the scroll. Po is oblivious to the effects of crashing down stairs and in slow motion, his voluminous butt presses down on Tai Lung's head. As they crash through the Gateway the scroll is knocked loose.

Tai Lung goes for the scroll but Po snatches it away using a noodle lasso. The scroll flies towards him and bounces off his head. Tai Lung leaps for it, but Po grabs his tail and pulls him back down onto a cart which see-saws Po into the air. In mid-air, Po slurps the noodle.

Up and over the rooftops, Po lands in a grove of bamboo trees and into a nearby work shop. The scroll rolls to a stop in the street.

As Tai Lung makes his move on the scroll, Po turns the array of overturned woks into a shell game, sliding the woks around to hide the scroll.

PO

"Lightning!"

Tai Lung knocks the woks away and exposes the scroll as Po uses his bamboo stilts to block Tai Lung. The leopard swipes out the stilts and brings Po down on top of him as the scroll rolls down the steps towards the river.

Po gets thrown into a fireworks booth. As Tai Lung chases down the scroll, he turns back to see Po flying through the fireworks-filled sky.

Po slams through Tai Lung and crashes into a rock wall. The scroll flies out of his hand and lands in the mouth of an ornamental rooftop dragon. He looks back at Tai Lung, who sees where the scroll has landed. Via the magic of cookie-vision, Po effortlessly scales the building. Tai Lung is shocked.

TAI LUNG

"The scroll has given him power.

(then)

NOOOO!!"

He takes a giant leap and kicks the wall. The resulting shockwave collapses the building.

Amazingly, Po skips across the falling roof tiles to reach the scroll in mid-air as Tai Lung leaps up behind him and unleashes a punishing blow that sends Po smashing into the ground. As Tai Lung lands, he delivers a final devastating punch.
