Gumpta:

It seemed like an eternity had passed as Gumpta sat at the bottom of the giant bamboo tree waiting for any update on his friend, but his boring wait would soon come to an end from an unsuspecting source. Gumpta would trade stares with many panda, many the same just a glare or so, but one child seemed to break free from its guardian and made a beline towards the toad in curiosity. He was a chubby little fella but full of spunk none the less would make his way as fast as his floppy body would let him. His eyes were wide in excitement and his jaw seemed to have hit the floor as if the toad was a thing of legend. He would go ahead and ask a barrage of questions about Gumpta's appearance stating he had only heard about the toad warriors from word of his father and one named "Z-Man".

The little chubby panda would introduce himself as Brodie, just as Gumpta was about to introduce himself to the little guy his mother would walk up behind him and kicked him rather hard into the air and grabbed him up by the neck and drag him off as she yelled that it had been enough. That didn't dampen the mood of the little fella as he said a parting phrase aying to tell his dad mom was making a smelly dish of sorts. Gumpta would smile and shake his head at the boy figuring his father was Shuzuya as the little panda acted like Gu,pta knew his father. After the boy and his mother disappeared into the crowd Gumpta would notice rain begin to fall upon his head gently as he looked up "Kano get through this... We have another fight we have to finish..." Gthe toad would say to himself as he kept his eyes glued to the sky.

Kano:

Kano had not been conscious since Shuzuya had fastened him to his stick, passed out in a dream like state of sorts from exhaustion and pain rolling through his body from the curse seal Jared and placed upon the back of his shoulder. Kano would be caught in a dream this whole time as in his mind he would be walking alone in darkness, absolutely nothing in sight. In his subconscious he would be walking alone left only to dwell on his life. "What have I accomplished other than almost dying to a half-wit Uzumaki and a few snakes? What is my purpose if I can't even do that?" he would say aloud to himself as he kept walking.

As he kept walking he would see lights appear on both sides of himself like walls as they began to bleed color. The bleeding colors would morph into pictures and scenes, but not just random things... Rather things that were most important to Kano. First he would see a picture of his parents holding him as a baby "The love in their eyes... it cannot be described in words..." he would say before looking on to the next picture unfolding to his other side. "That is the day I graduated from the academy... Look how happy we all were! That was the day I proclaimed to become the best my clan had ever produced... now look at me!" Kano would yell in disgust with himself as he stomped on forward. Lastly he would see a picture appear directly in front of him of Mount Myoboku, the day Gumpta and himself began their training as a tandem.

Kano and Gumpta would be doing their patented fist bump wearing smiles as large as any anyone could produce, the great toad sage and Gumpta's parents in the backround behind them with the look of joy pasted on their faces as if it would never fade. This would strike a chord within Kano as a voice would appear out of nowhere and began to talk "You have a great reason for being where you are... You have been chosen but don't know why... I will not reveal this to you but rather let your tale unfold in front of your eyes through trials and tribulations... You have a grave task ahead, can you conquer it or will it conquer you?" The voice would say before Kano felt as if he were flying in the air.

Kano would awaken slightly as he felt like he had crashed into the ground and rolled a bit, noticing the chains were gone from wrapping him. Kano would wink his eyes and squint as he rubbed them gently trying to get clear vision as he saw a rather elderly panda begin to raise her staff to the ceiling as a map illuminated before them. It would be simplistic map of charcoal drawings in many colors showing countless animals moving around on it, most notably a group of snakes headed towards where the toads were drawn in. Kano would hear a rather soothing feminine voice begin to speak of her knowing of why he was here and how she had sensed the toads being killed off in the forest as they tried as well. Explaining how she sent the one known as "Odi" the big lard panda that saved Kano's life before explaining how hte rest were too cowardly to go followed by a ligh thump of her cane to the crimson locks of the Uzumaki, waking him up a tad from his slumber.

Kano would listen on as the wise panda spoke on about one named Zeshin and how their best warriors have grown scred since his departure speaking of how they need inspiration and exercise as they had grown fat and lazy. She would of how if she forced them they would be slaughtered in their current state, they needed fire and their passion back. She would explain that if he had come for help than find Zeshin or show the lazy pandas that they have to get up and fight to help the toads who have given the whole forest freedom. Just as Kano would feel a jolt of pain rush through his body he would feel her stick poke directly on top of it. After a few minutes he would feel her press of and the pain would be gone, she would speak of it was a weak one and how the higher level masters of the serpents have much more potent ones that arent curable by her.

Kano, now fully awake and functional would begin his testimony. "Seeing as the one you call Zeshin is M.I.A I cannot waste anymore time in our preparations. Gather your people, your warriors, and your counsel and let me know when they are gathered. I will speak my peace and hopefully light this fire you say indeed unkindled. Not only will this affect the toads but everything that lives here, we cannot let them take control of this ethreal realm as it will spill onto the soil of the 5 nations in return... WE MUST ACT NOW!" Kano would say with some bass in his voice as he began walking towards the balcony that oversees the village. "I will not let us fail, because of we fail here we fail humanity as we know it." He would say as he leaned against the bamboo railing overlooking the land of the pandas waiting for the great panda sage's response.
