Warriors Of Virtue Page #2

- Don't do it!

- Shut up.

- Come on. You got it.

- You got it. Keep goin'.

You guys, don't distract him.

- He's gonna fall in!

- Hey, big guy, you got it.

Come on.

Come on! You got it.

What are you doing?

Go for it!

You're movin' like a baby! Why don't you

just get down and crawl? Come on!

- Stop it!

- Come on.

Come on! You got it!

- Don't look down!

- That's it. Yes!

Hey, you see that?

- What?

- He's freakin'.

You never know when it's gonna

take a dump. You gotta be quick.

Come on! Let's go.

You gotta be quick.

Come on!

What is that?

Grab him!

- Oh, my God!

- Get him out!

What...

Dry?

Tracy?

Come on, guys.

Cut it out.

Look, this isn't funny.

Bravo!

Hey, you!

Gotcha!

Oh, my God.

It works.

My leg.

It works.

It works! Yes!

Set!

Blue 42!

Set! Hike!

Jeffers spins

past the defenders!

Oh, he cuts back,

spinning, stiff-arming!

Back to the sidelines.

He goes.

He's spinning past the defenders.

Split the stiff-arm!

Spins again.

Fumble! But Jeffers recovers.

He spins back to mid-field.

At the ten! The five...

- Get off me!

- You're not getting away, Newcomer!

- Let go! No!

- No such luck.

Let go, punk.

Hold your blade!

Who's there?

- Are you hurt?

- He's a Newcomer, Elysia.

Came right up out of the river.

I saw it with my own eyes.

And he's mine!

You're really a Newcomer?

I just fell in the water.

I slipped,

and then those things...

they came out,

and they tried to kill me.

Those were Komodo's men.

We're not safe here.

Come on.

Elysia, a little reward

for my efforts?

Virtue be yours!

Your patrol was sent to spy

on their Lifespring, Commander.

- You were not supposed to be seen.

- General, we were attacked.

Well, you can explain it

to him yourself.

He's not happy.

Bye-bye!

Commander.

Failure...

is in your eyes.

An open wound infects

like a disease...

and it spreads...

like an infection.

I smell fear.

Fear of what?

Death?

My lord...

please.

Look.

I brought you this.

It's from a boy.

He's a Newcomer.

Newcomer?

Rise.

Slowly stand up.

Don't be afraid.

I want to take away

your terror.

There is nothing to fear...

because...

nothing dies.

Listen.

Life...

is but a dream...

flowing into another dream.

Bye.

General Grillo...

I ask you this:

What's the point of power...

if you don't abuse people?

Open it.

My lord,

it's the symbol of Tao!

Could this be the...

the manuscript?

Lieutenants!

At last.

Find this Newcomer

and bring him to me.

Pleasure, my lord.

Alive.

Who are you?

Where am I?

I'm Elysia.

You're in Tao.

- Tao?

- Yes, Tao.

The manuscript. I thought it was

just a story. I didn't believe him.

What manuscript?

What does it look like?

- That. It has that on the cover.

- The Manuscript of Legend?

- The what?

- The Manuscript of Legend.

Master Chung once told us about

an ancient book that had special powers.

He said, if it was ever returned to Tao,

it could change everything.

- Who's Master Chung?

- He's our leader.

When he came to Tao,

he taught ways of peace and harmony.

But it didn't last.

Komodo began mining the Lifespring

for a mineral called zubrium.

The Lifesprings are

where we live.

They radiate energy

to all of Tao.

Without zubrium

they die out.

Komodo uses the zubrium

to keep himself young and strong.

That's why he's so desperate for it.

Now only one Lifespring remains.

Can't anyone stop him?

No, not even

the Warriors of Virtue.

Warriors? Kung fu?

What do they look like?

They're Rooz.

This is our Lifespring.

Listen to me,

citizens of Tao.

Please calm yourselves.

- We cannot let our fears defeat us.

- We must remain calm.

The Warriors of Virtue

will protect us!

But Master Chung,

has Yun returned?

He has not.

Then how can

the Warriors of Virtue protect us...

if there are

only four of them?

Komodo's soldiers have already

been spotted inside the green.

- What are we going to do?

- We're doomed!

Oh, we're dead!

Listen to me, please!

Master Chung, we have hope.

- A Newcomer has arrived.

- Newcomer?

He's too small

to be a Newcomer.

Houston,

we have a problem.

Newcomer, Elysia said

you have brought the manuscript.

May I see it?

It is important, Newcomer.

The name is Ryan Jeffers.

Show me the Warriors of Virtue,

please?

I trained these five warriors

to protect Tao.

Each upholds honor...

and integrity.

Do they fight with kung fu?

They use the force

of nature's elements:

Wood, fire...

earth, metal...

and water.

Ming was right.

This is Lai,

virtue of order...

the stability of wood.

Meticulous, logical...

often a bit cranky.

Tsun, the virtue

of loyalty...

security of earth.

Kind and nurturing.

Chi, virtue

of high wisdom...

power of fire.

Often playful...

but very wise.

Yee, virtue

of righteousness...

strength of metal.

He does not speak,

seeing every choice as right or wrong.

- Nothing in between.

- You said there were five.

Yes. The other is Yun...

their leader.

Virtue of benevolence,

force of water.

Where is he?

Yun has lost

his will to fight.

God, they're so cool.

Uh-oh.

But not ready!

Don't be afraid.

This is Yee.

Ryan. How's it goin'?

It's all right.

This is Chi...

Tsun...

and Lai.

He is a Newcomer, and he has brought

something important to us.

Now, Ryan Jeffers,

may we see the manuscript?

Look, I don't have it.

One of you guys has it.

Us?

When you saved me from Komodo's

soldiers, it was in my backpack.

- At the river. Remember?

- Backpack? What's a backpack?

Yun knows where it is.

If the Newcomer was saved at the river,

it would have been Yun.

- Forget Yun.

- But what if he can help?

Yun does not care about our cause

anymore. He will not help.

In this struggle,

all five of you must work together.

We must find Yun.

Without

the Manuscript of Legend...

we cannot defeat Komodo.

What are you thinking about?

Home.

I wonder if my mom and dad

are worried about me.

What are your parents like?

I don't know.

No. They're pretty cool.

I mean, they're nice.

I wish I'd known

my mother and father.

They died just after

my brother and I were born.

Master Chung

looked after us.

Where is your brother?

He was recently killed.

I'm sorry.

You must've been a great leader

in your world to be trusted...

with the Manuscript of Legend.

Not really.

I was just a bad follower.

- But I'd sure like to show them now.

- Show them what?

That I can run,

play football...

just like everyone else!

What?

Nothing. I just think

I found a friend.

So have I.

Come on. There's something

I want to show you.

- What?

- Come on!

All this was built

in honor of the Rooz.

During the Old Order,

they were revered by everyone.

- How come Yee doesn't talk?

- He used to.

But after the war

in Tao started...

he saw so much suffering

that he hasn't spoken since.

Why'd Yun leave everyone?

- He killed someone in the battle.

- So what? It was a battle. People die.

It was a life!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it that way.
