8Long ago, a peacock named Lord Shen (Creator/GaryOldman) sought to harness the power of fireworks for a more practical use in weaponry, a cannon. His worried parents, the rulers of Gongmen City, consulted a Soothsayer, who foretold that Shen would be defeated by "a warrior of black and white". To prevent this, Shen destroyed an entire nearby panda village; but when he returned home, his horror-stricken parents exiled him. In response, Shen swore revenge and vowed to return to the city, complete his invention, and conquer all of China.

10In the present day, Po, now a highly-skilled Dragon Warrior and [[SixthRanger the sixth member of the Furious Five]], is trying to learn "inner peace" from Master Shifu. They're interrupted when a gang of wolves attack a village in search of metal to help in making Lord Shen's cannons. Po and the Furious Five set out for Gongmen City to stop the wicked peacock, and along the way, Po learns about his origins.
