This is a story that I've thought of doing for a while and I've finally completed the first chapter, Horray for me! It's obviously non-canon, but it's just an idea that came to me. It's set between the events of Kung Fu Panda 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3 and will include characters that have appeared in Legends of Awesomeness. It focuses mainly on Master Tigress and this is something I'd personally like to see in the 4th kung fu panda film.

24 years ago:

Two hooded tigers are in green robes and outside Bao Gu Orphanage on a rainy night. The taller tiger speaks to the smaller tiger "It's the only way."

"There has to be another." the smaller tiger says, desperate to not go through with their plan on leaving the small tiger cub in their arms at the orphanage.

"There isn't; it's too late for us, but she has a chance." the taller tiger said placing a paw on the other tiger's shoulder and looking down at the baby tiger cub who had just opened her big yellow and red eyes and began cooing at the two bigger tigers looking down at her. She reached her tiny paws up at the one holding her and was met with a bigger version of her paws to hold on to. The tiger holding her smiled at her, but was pulled out of it by the other tiger who moved the paw on the smaller tiger's shoulder down to their back "This will much better for her than the life we're about to be condemned to for most likely the rest of our living days... and that will only depend on if we can escape her."

The smaller tiger knew the taller tiger was correct and unwillingly said "You're right." They removed their hoods and then took out a light yellow blanket with a pattern near each end consisting of two light red strpies with blue and yellow inside of them and they wrapped the cub in the blanket before the smaller tiger placed the now silent cub on the doorstep of the orphanage. The smaller tiger said one more thing to the cub who looked as if she was about to wail and cry, but remained silent "Goodbye Tigress; I'll never forget you... and I'm sorry I have to do this to you." The tiger then stood up and began crying and was met with comfort from the taller tiger as they walked away from the cub. When they were out of the cub's eyesight and that of the goat carer who picked her up and brought her inside to her new home, a loud long roar was heard, striking panic into the tigers. The taller one stated "It's Senka! RUN!" The two tigers ceased with walking and ran for it on all fours with a another hooded figure running after them on all fours too; a figure in a hooded dark blue robe with a silver vine with white leaves pattern running in all directions from the centre of the back.

Present Day:

It is late at night in ancient China and underneath the cold black and blue sky is the light of a fireplace deep in the heart of the bamboo forest and around that fire is the Lin Kuei; a gang of nomadic wolves who were trained from birth to become masters of theft and assassination. Their leader Heilang was easy to recognise from his followers as he was the only one with a metal mask that covered his left eye. None of the others know how he got it, but they speculate sometimes when he is out of earshot. Most believe it was a sacrifice made when he challenged their former leader for power over the Lin Kuei. Others believe it was from a glorious battle he victored from with only one scratch from his opponent. A few believe it was from a training accident when he was a pup. It would forever remain a mystery, but one thing was certain; no one dared to challenge him for the role of leader. He spoke a single word to his followers while staring into the fire "Twice."

"Um... twice sir?" one wolf asked after gaining the courage to do so. Heilang continued "Twice we have fought against the Dragon Warrior and the other masters of the Jade Palace. Twice we have come so close to defeating them... and twice... we have also come... SO FAR!" he growled and then hit the wolf who had asked him what he meant by twice in the head so hard, he went rolling into a tree and remained lying there. The rest of the group looked at the unlucky wolf and then back to their leader who continued to growl and then sigh "We need help to take them all down... that's humiliating enough for us to think and speak given that we're supposed to be the Lin Kuei; the masters of theft and assissination, what's even more so is no one can help because no one has defeated them."

"You're absolutely right." came a dark feminine voice from the shadows that made the wolves snarl and snap their heads to the east where the voice originated from. A hooded figure in a dark blue robe with a silver vine with white leaves pattern running in all directions from the centre of the back emerged from the dark in a slow walk and then stopped 10 feet away from the circle of nomads. All the Lin Kuei could see past the robe was a white tiger tail flicking about with excitement. Heilang spoke to her "Do you have any idea who we are?"

"I would guess from listening to you for the past 10 minutes that you're the Lin Kuei; masters of theft and assassination." the figure stated unafraid. Heilang's good eye widened then narrowed; no one should be able to listen in on them for more than 2 minutes let alone 10 as he always had 4 of his wolves on lookout. Before he could ask who the hooded figure was, 4 other figures came from behind her in a line. Heilang saw the figures emerging to be his lookouts and grinned at the hooded figure, but his jaw dropped when saw that they were all unconscious and being made to look like they were walking until the 2 figures (1 carrying 2 of the wolves) dropped them to the ground where they lay. Heilang and the other Lin Kuei saw that their attackers were 2 striped hyenas dressed in black tunics with red hems. Heilang growled; he'd deal with the 4 sloppy wolves later but for now, he got into a challenging fighting stance and called to his wolves "CHAIN HAMMERS!"

The wolf subordinates all began to swing their chain hammers, but the figures who had invaded them remained standing still and appeared unthreatened. When the wolves released their hammers, the hyenas got down on one paw in a kneeling position while the hooded figure waited until the ends of the hammers were close enough and one by one, she destroyed them with one stratch each showing a white tiger paw as she did. Before the wolves could overcome their shock, the kneeling hyenas charged towards them on all fours and as if that wasn't bad enough, 20 more hyenas identical to them came from out of the shadows and attacked. His followers couldn't compete, but Heilang was the only one left standing as any hyena who dared to fight him was easily pushed away, countered or punched in the face. He then saw their leader was unguarded and charged at her, but she continued to stand in that same spot.

"Terrible mistake." she said as he was in full charge, but he was met with her pouncing at him and roughly pinning him down. Under the hood, he saw a tiger face with piercing ice-blue coloured pupils and she was baring her teeth and growling at him. He prepared for what he guessed would be the end of his leadership over the Lin Kuei as the sharp pristine teeth came closer to him, but at the last moment, she closed her mouth and slowly rised up and turned her head to his followers. "Your leader is not wrong; like anyone else who threatens the safety of the citizens of the Valley of Peace, you end up being shamefully defeated by the masters of the Jade Palace."

The wolves looked down full of embarrassment with the same thought flowing through their minds; the Qidan warriors, Master Junjie and his snow leopards, Scorpion, even Pang Bing; the Lin Kuei were now apart of the club for those who fight the Jade Palace and seem like they've won, but eventually lose. The hyena leader saw this and continued with her speech "I will say this; of everyone who has faced them, you came the closest to defeating them once and for all."

The wolves looked up with surprise and hope filling their eyes. Even Heilang's good eye mimicked that of his followers though he was still cautious when the figure held out her paw to him to help him up and said "And that's why I'd like to propose a temporary truce between the 2 of us."

Heilang allowed her to help him up, but kept his guard and defensive tone up "Why would you want a temporary truce?"

"Well think about it; you've known me for about 5 minutes and you've seen what me and my followers are capable of... and in those 5 minutes, we've been your enemy. Wouldn't you prefer us as allies?"

Heilang thought this over. She wasn't wrong; she and her hyenas were as quick, smart and strong as they were. And she did say "temporary" truce and then they could part ways, so he nodded in agreement "Very well then." She smiled and as the her hyenas released the Lin Kuei, she removed her hood to show that she was indeed a white tiger. Her pupils were ice blue, the 5 stripes on her head were solid black with the first and last 2 looking like long, thin lightning bolts with the 2 on the left being symmetrical to the 2 on the right and the third stripe being half the length of the lightning blots and looking like a tear drop. When her robe came off her body, she was wearing a sleeveless vest that matched her robe (a dark blue background with a silver vine with white leaves pattern) and white pants. She handed her robe to a hyena who came up to her and then walked away once he had her robe. Heilang then asked "Before we continue, who are you and what exactly do you want our help with?"

"The only thing that you need to know about me is that my name is Senka and that I'm on a... mission of sort; to see that someone I care about gets his revenge on a kung fu master who resides at the Jade Palace."

Heilang then sunk, knowing who the kung fu master would be and gave a sarcastic guess "Let me guess, this 'someone you care about' was wronged by none other than the Dragon Warrior?"

Senka had a cheerful smile aas she said "That is absolutely incorrect."

"Of course I'm...wait, what?" Heilang said with pride at first until he went over what Senka had just said. She then continued with a frown "Both he and I could care less for that panda, so you and your wolves are more than welcome to to do as you please to him. All I ask is you don't harm the one kung fu master I'm after."

Heilang and the Lin Kuei were shocked that she wasn't interested in fighting the Dragon Warrior, but at least this meant she and her followers wouldn't interfere with them eventually defeating all but one apparant master of the Jade Palace. As Senka dismissed her hyenas to head back to their base of operations, Heilang gave the same hand gesture to his wolves so they would follow them. The 2 leaders of the opposing parties were alone and Heilang asked "Why exactly do you want to kill this one kung fu master? What did they do?"

"Oh I wish I could, but I think if anyone's going to kill Master Tigress, it'll be her brother; for stealing his glory."
