After some inter-determinate time, Izuku groggily wakes up. Everything being blurry in his vision.

Izuku:Ugh... [He looks up, and the first thing he sees is Masters Mantis and Viper staring down at him.] What's goin' on...? [He turns his head and sees Masters Monkey, Crane and Tigress, also staring at him.] Where, uh...? [What he sees next is a quivering finger pointing straight at his face.] What are you pointing...?

[He shakes his head, and his vision clears. He finds himself lying right in front of Torino, the one pointing at him. He realizes with a jolt that he has landed right between the old master and the Furious Five.]

Izuku:Oh! Okay, sorry! I just wanted to see who the Dragon Warrior was.

Torino:How interesting. [He still points at Izuku, intrigued by this unexpected occurrence. Standing right behind Izuku, Tigress steps forward, confused.]

Tigress:Master, are you pointing at... me?

Torino:Him.

Izuku:Who?... [Izuku attempts to move out of the way, but Torino's finger follows him. Tigress's eyes widen.]

Torino:You.

Izuku:Me?

[Torino lifts up Izuku's arm with his staff for all to see.]

Torino:The universe has brought us the Dragon Warrior!

This made Izuku's widen in shock at that revelation and all he could say was...

Izuiu:What?

Furious Five:What?!

Shifu:What!?

Mr. Lee:[Entering though the doors.] WHAT!?

[The announcer strikes the gong. Shifu snatches away the mallet, but was too late as the crowd cheers wildly and confetti rains down. Izuku stares around him, speechless. A group of palace gaurds rapidly descend the palace stairs with a palanquin.]

Shifu:Stop! Wait! Who told you to-

[The gaurds move straight past him, down the remaining steps, and stop right in front of Izuku. Shifu races down after them as the young man was hoisted up on the palanquin. The guards struggle to lift the palanquin with most of them being shocked at how heavy Izuku is just from his body type and make their way back towards the stairs. While the Five are bowed behind them, Shifu finally reaches Oogway.]

Shifu:Master, Master wait! That skinny boy can't possibly be the answer to... our problem! You were about to point at Tigress and that thing fell in front of her! That was just an accident!

Torino:There are no accidents.

[CRUNCH! Shifu, Torino and the Five look up, startled. Izuku has broken through the palanquin and is now stuck in the newly-made hole. Shifu looks at Torino, who simply smiles. More Palace Gaurds who were much bigger surrounds Izuku and lifts the palanquin with relative ease, and make their way up the stairs. Shifu stares after them in disbelief, as the Five slowly approach him.]

Tigress:Forgive us, Master. [She kneels forward and bows. The others follow suit.] We have failed you.

[Shifu holds up his hand to stop her.]

Shifu:No. If the boy has not quit by morning, then I will have failed you.

Meanwhile, far away in the snowy mountains of Mongolia, Zeng the palace gaurd was approaching the fearsome Chor-Gom Prison. A large guard whose armor represents a rhino watches as Zeng runs past him, tired from the journey. With a cry, he crash lands on the ground outside the entrance doors, clutching a scroll. In an instant, two guards thrust their spears in his face.
