The Adventures of Panda Warrior Page #4

---

the time in Merryland

moves differently

than the outside world,

so the timing makes

perfect sense.

It appears to me that

your Dragon Necklace

is the strongest

evidence of that.

Your grandfather

giving you the necklace

and your arrival

here at this time

is more than a coincidence.

That is something to

consider, Patrick.

Well, I'm convinced my grandfather

was the Panda Warrior

And I must keep his reputation,

and so I will help

you save Merryland

from the Evil Master.

Huh? What do you mean,

you'll help?

Is this some kind of a joke?

And how is it that you suddenly

believe that you

can save Merryland?

I found my courage and passion.

All right, then, prove it to me.

Why, I oughta...

OK.

So, that is your

courage and passion?

Hiiiiiyaaaa...

I'll never give up.

Ah. Give up now.

I'll never, ever give up.

Then catch me.

If you can't even beat me, how is it

that you expect to beat the Evil Master?

I understand, so please, King

Leo, train me to defeat him.

You think you have

the courage it takes

to become a warrior?

- I do.

- Very well.

In that case,

I will train you, Patrick.

- Yes!

- You all train yourselves, understood?

Yes, sir.

Wow, what a wonderful place.

Doubt you'll be

saying that later.

Oh. I should have figured.

Your first training task

is to use these lilies

to jump across the river.

Sounds simple enough.

- You really think so?

- Haha. Yeah, sure.

I hope your other tasks

are tougher than this!

Whoa. Whoa!

These flowers have teeth!

Oh, didn't I warn you?

Sorry. My bad.

They're piranha flowers

and they're hungry,

so be careful to not

become their lunch.

Hey, what kind of

training is this?

Trying to get me eaten alive?

You'll have to

manage on your own,

or it wouldn't be

training, now would it?

And one more thing.

These lilies have

a surprise inside.

What are you talking about?

Uh-oh.

Don't look, GoGo.

Ah, my tail!

Let go of my tail!

Huh?

The lake is so shallow.

I don't need to

jump to get across.

I can just walk.

Yeah, well,

if I were you, I'd run!

Give me one good reason.

Uh, this lake is

full of piranha fish.

That's one.

I said,

"Run." Go Panda, go!

I finished. I passed.

Sorry, you failed the test,

unless you complete it

without getting wet.

Huh?

Again!

Ooh, ooh, aah!

This water hurts!

So, your majesty, what exactly do

you have in store for me next?

- Look there.

- Yah!

What, more water?

A piranha lake and

now a piranha river?

Don't worry, there are no fish

to be afraid of in this river.

This time it's extremely simple.

All you need to do is fill

the two buckets with water.

And that's all there is to it?

Well, not exactly.

I knew it couldn't be that easy.

I got this one.

No! Not again!

This one is a

bit more dangerous.

- Peggy Skyflyer?

- Huh?

Please demonstrate.

Uh, yes, sire.

Whaaaa!

Huh?

Now, it's your turn.

OK.

The world

certainly is full of surprises.

Patrick, you truly

are the chosen one.

You can keep me here,

but the citizens of Merryland

must not be hurt.

You are a creature

born of the Dragon Ball

and when you are gone,

the Dragon Ball will disappear.

I will not be tricked by you.

What do you want?

You shall see.

The poison water will drain away

the goodness in your heart.

When the Dragon Ball is

drained of its goodness

and finally turns dark and evil,

I will absorb its energy

and become more powerful

than you can imagine.

When that day arrives,

nothing will be able to stop me.

I'll conquer Merryland first and

move on to the rest of your world.

The Panda Warrior's

coming back for you.

I think not, Princess Angelica.

Even your previous

Panda Warrior would find it

next to impossible

to defeat me now.

I still have faith that the panda

will come and save us all.

That's because you have no idea

of the ways of the world.

Your fate lies here, Princess.

Patrick, now you understand

the challenges of the world.

Always treasure

your Dragon Necklace.

Hold on to it.

In your most desperate moment,

call upon its power,

and use it to save yourself.

You have earned

your magical sword.

I sincerely hope you can help us defeat

the Evil Master and save Merryland.

I will do my best.

Wait just a minute.

We can't let him be the leader

just because of his grandpa.

I object!

What do you suggest we do then?

I challenge him

to be the leader.

Patrick, do you

accept the challenge?

We should unite to

fight the Evil Master,

not fight each other.

What if I lose or get

hurt or something?

Hah. That's because

you know I'll defeat you.

Maybe so, but if you really

want a challenge,

let's see who can defeat

the Evil Master first?

Right. You're on!

But you're gonna lose.

The Evil Master lives

in a floating castle.

Unfortunately, it has

no fixed location,

so it's impossible

to know where it is

at any given time.

Oh, dear.

I don't want to spend

the rest of my life searching

for some floating castle.

What should we do, Patrick?

My master, the Fox

Elder, is a magician.

She might be able

to help us out.

Then we should go and

find her right away.

- Right. Huh?

- No!

She doesn't trust anyone.

Except for maybe

the Panda Warrior.

Huh?

Listen carefully.

This is a piece of the floating

castle's foundation stone.

It's very rare and contains

mysterious magical powers.

Take it with you and it will lead

you to the castle's location.

Yeah! This is going to be

lights-out for the Evil Master.

And take this. It has

a special note inside.

Open it if you should

ever find yourself

in terrible danger.

Understand?

Yes, Fox Elder.

Thank you

for your guidance, ma'am.

You're welcome.

Where are the Seven Wonders?

They should be here.

Huh?

I sure hope they're

not in danger.

Help me.

Hi, GoGo Goat.

No, I wasn't scared.

Are you all right?

Everything OK?

I'm fine, but...

GoGo, what happened to everyone?

It was awful.

The Phantom Army attacked us.

Where's everyone else?

I don't know.

Bruce Barkley dug a

hole and hid me in it,

but I'm afraid everyone

else may have been captured.

Oh, no.

Forget about finding

the Evil Master.

The others may be part

of the Phantom Army now.

GoGo, please don't give up.

Who else can save them, but us?

We have to do it.

But first, we need to

find out where they are.

- I can't right now.

- But why?

Because I need to take a shower.

I'm all dirty from hiding.

I need to freshen up

before I can help out.

Uhh.

This way, guys.

Why don't you just

let me take them?

You can't.

Look over there.

Whoa!

All right, finally.

So how do we get all

the way up there?

If Peggy Skyflyer

was here, she'd know.

I have a plan.

Huh?

Your horn is nothing but a fake.

Fake is such a strong word.

Can't a girl have a

few beauty secrets?

Hah!

There she is!

Peggy Skyflyer, it's us!

Looks like she's been turned

into a Phantom Army soldier.

You dare to enter the

castle without permission?

You are all doomed!

Nice try, but your
