Having discovered their enemy's weakness, Po and the others drive her away, but Crane's image is further tarnished due to his beak becoming embedded in a wall during Fenghuang's attack.

Po then attempts to help him improve his image with a new look, but the villagers' ridicule continues. When the rest of the Five arrive with news of Fenghuang, Po sets out with them to recapture her, but Crane declines.

Unfortunately for the masters, Fenghuang has outfitted her claws with metal blades to enable her to cut through iron, and she proves more than a match for the five of them. Their battle eventually carries them back to the village, where Crane has been helping [[Zeng]] with chores to pass his time. Bored out of his mind by Crane's tales, Zeng questions why Crane didn't accompany the others, and Crane demonstrates that his self-esteem remains low.

Mr. Ping has a new charity auction for a new childrens hospital, and convinces Po and the Furious Five to help him out. During the auction, Fenghuang attacks and it ends up with Crane getting humiliated, by getting stuck in a wall. Po finds out Iron is the only thing that Fenghuang's talons can't cut through and they injure her talons using iron items, which drives her to the mountains. When the Furious Five and Po find out Fenghuang is in the mountains they go to try and defeat her except for Crane who stays behind. When they face Fenghuang she defeats them all but Po, who is having great trouble bringing her down.

Po convinces the Furious Five to help raise money for the Children's Hospital in the Valley of Peace by holding a charity auction, in which participants bid for the opportunity to spend a whole day with the various masters. Unfortunately, Crane's nasal problems disgust the villagers, who soon begin to complain about the avian master. As Crane leaves and Mr. Ping attempts to continue the auction, Fenghuang arrives, seeking revenge for her previous defeat. She pins most of the Five and Po before going after Crane, only for her talons to be blocked by Po's use of an iron wok.

Having discovered their enemy's weakness, Po and the others drive her away, but Crane's image is further tarnished due to his beak becoming embedded in a wall during Fenghuang's attack. During a subsequent training session, Crane is in a funk, and soon reveals that it's due to discovering the villagers' low opinion of him despite his efforts to protect them. Po then attempts to help him improve his image with a new look, but the villagers' ridicule continues. When the rest of the Five arrive with news of Fenghuang, Po sets out with them to recapture her, but Crane declines.

Unfortunately for the masters, Fenghuang has outfitted her claws with metal blades to enable her to cut through iron, and she proves more than a match for the five of them. Their battle eventually carries them back to the village, where Crane has been helping Zeng with chores to pass his time. Bored out of his mind by Crane's tales, Zeng questions why Crane didn't accompany the others, and Crane demonstrates that his self-esteem remains low. However, the sound of battle draws his attention, and he arrives just in time to save Po from being dropped to his death by Fenghuang.
