Back at Shaolin Temple, Tony was made aware of what had happened in Lai Chi. He got up and killed the two henchmen that told him the news. He looked over to his fellow clan leaders and sighed. "Those two will become a problem. Dust!"

The hyena stood up. "Sir?"

"Take Toxic, Creamy, and Extacy with you. Go down to Lai Chi and split up. One go north, another south, east, and west. Find them. Return when you have found them. I do not want you fighting them by yourself. They are much more powerful than they seem. Come back and we will all kill them together."

Dust, Toxic, Creamy, and Extacy got up and left to search for Hop and Musubi.

"So you two are from Shaolin, huh?" Mango asked Hop and Musubi. They both nodded.

"Yes, but we were overrun by the Danji Yi Clan," said Musubi. Angel, Mango, and Peanut gasped.

"The D-D-D-Danji Yi?" stuttered Peanut. "No one's ever encountered them and lived to tell about it."

"Well, I guess that makes us the first," said Hop.

"Hey!" exclaimed Angel. "There it is!" Everyone looked to where he was pointing. They were all looking at the most magnificent inn in all of China, "Bi Fo Yu".

"Your friends own that?" asked Hop. Angel nodded.

"Yep. C'mon!" Angel ran the rest of the way and everyone trailed after. Dew, a cheetah, was at the front desk when they entered.

"Irasshaimase!" he exclaimed. "Oh, hi guys. Who're your friends?"

"Hi Dew," said Mango. "This is Hop and Musubi. They saved us from some henchmen of the Danji Yi Clan."

"Say," said Peanut, "How's Mountain?"

Dew's smile immediately turned into a frown and he slowly looked to his left. Everyone looked in the direction he was looking in and saw the memorial he had set up for her.

Mango spoke first. "I'm sorry Dew. We didn't know."

There was a moment of silence before Dew spoke again. "Well, anyway, what brings you all here?"

"Oh yeah!" remembered Angel. "Almost forgot to introduce our new friends. This is Hop and Musubi. They're Shaolin monks who escaped from the Danji Yi Clan."

"Danji Yi?!" gasped Dew. Hop and Musubi nodded and told him what had happened. "Wow," said Dew when they had finished. "Well, you're welcome to stay here as long as you like and I'll try to help in any way I can."

"We need to retake Shaolin Temple," said Hop. "Would you happen to know anyone that knows any martial arts."

"Uh, actually, we all know some," said Peanut. Hop and Musubi looked back at him.

"Yes," said Angel. "We all specialize in different techniques. I use the two finger technique. Mango uses the Dragon style. Peanut knows the Shaolin Pole." Hop and Musubi looked at Peanut with their mouths open.

"I was at Shaolin for a little while," he said.

Dew spoke up. "When my wife was still alive, we both teamed up to do the Double Headed Cheetah. But more recently, I've been studying the styles of the Mantis."

"Hop." Musubi tapped Hop's shoulder. "I think we just found a way to retake Shaolin." Hop nodded in agreement.
