It was a quiet night at the valley of peace. However the same did not apply deep in the bamboo forest. There you will hear the screaming of Warriors, Jaguar warriors to be exact.
"Get him!" a voice from the darkness yelled, it was from a jaguar and behind him a few more jaguars. Their target, A young snow leopard and an even younger tiger.
'gotta run faster' the leopard thought. In his arms the tiger looked at him with her innocent scarlet eyes which made him more determined to get away from the jaguars.
"Tai," a little voice said then continued on asking," why are they chasing us?". Tai lung was hesitant to answer because the jaguars were chasing them because of the tiger, for some odd reason jaguars and tigers have been in war for years.
"They're chasing us because they're bad guys and want to hurt us tigress," Tai lung said for this way he would be keeping the truth from her but still not lie to her.
As they went deeper in the forest tail found a tree that was hollow and large enough for tigress to fit in. He put tigress in and thought 'this is the perfect time to take them down'.he went back to tigress and had her do something.
"Alright tigress can you promise me something?" The cub in question nodded as tai lung continued,"promise me to keep your eyes close and cover your ears until I say it's okay alright" Tigress nodded then did as told as tai lung left to fight the bad guys.
"Ah the leopard boy," a Jaguar darker and larger than the others approached tai lung, "so tell me, where is the cub" tai lung hissed at his question then got into stance. "awww, kitty wanna pway" the jaguar taunted. "Yexing clan. attack!" with that a group of jaguars lunged at Tai Lung.
Sending a deep growl as a warning sign then lunged back. Tai Lung was surrounded as he threw kicks and punches left and right. One by one the jaguars fell to their knees and Tai Lung was growing more and more exhausted by the minute. The large dark jaguar waited until Tai Lung finished his guys off and when he was the jaguar pounced on him while holding a dagger, stabbing tai lung in the abdomen and thought about finishing him off but tai lung had other plans. Tai Lung turned around and used pressure points to temporally paralyze the jaguar, he put a paw on his new wound and hobbled to the tree where tigress was. Tapping her on her shoulder she looked up and then asked, "is it safe now?" he nodded and picked her back up but she noticed something wrong.
"Tai, you're hurt," her soft voice barely audible stated. as they went back to the valley which took a good 20 minutes tai lung felt weaker and weaker but he was determined to get tigress home. He collapsed in front of the palace and tigress went in front of his face in panic and yelled" Tai!"
"you be good now you hear?" Tai lung's breathing slowed as he looked at tigress with a weak smile,"and listen to father for me" his voice was trailing off scaring the young tigress.
"Tai? what are you talking about?, you'll be fine!" Tigress' voice was cracking as she began crying for she was scared of losing her brother.
Tai Lung looked at her and said his final words," Tigress, you are destined for greatness," He gasped for air and continued, " I love you... Little... sis," he laided his head down leaving the frightened Tigress alone.
She ran into the jade palace looking for Master Shifu. "Tigress, what are you doing here and where is Tai Lung?" his voice was stern but gentle on the young cub as he saw tears in her eyes.
"Father *cough cough* I'm so sorry..." Tigress was on her knees now crying more than ever she choked as she continued "I-I wasn't strong enough...". Shifu was confused on what she meant.
His voice lost it's sternness as he bent down to tigress and asked,"what do you mean my child?". She pointed to the door that got closed due to the wind and Shifu opened it to see a dead Tai Lung in front of it. Shifu rushed over to his son and checked for and signs of Tai being alive. When he didn't he went back to tigress.
Shifu took tigress to her bed and gave her a hug and she returned it and the two cried into the night until they fell asleep knowing that their beloved warrior, brother ,and son is gone forever.
