Chapter 1

I know he's out here. He has to be, there is no other place for him to run. Tigress thought. He's here I can feel it.

It had been over a year since the attack on the village, and Tigress had made it her personal quest to root out and destroy the General who tried to annihilate the Furious Five and the Dragon warrior. Who had no other motivation than to see if he could.

Now almost every night since that day she would dream about it and she would remember the lightning, how it assaulted the buildings around her. Then the wolf standing over her, raising his fist, she would see him bring it down upon her, and then she would wake up screaming.

"Tigress you're zoning out again." Crane said.

But of course Master Shifu wouldn't allow her to go by herself. Now she noticed the snow falling gently to the ground.

"Sorry I just was uh never mind…have you seen anything yet?" Tigress sighed.

"No not just yet, are you sure he's out here?" Crane asked

"Yes, I can feel him but…but I don't know where." She replied,

"Where are you? I know you're here." She whispered to herself.

The two sat silent for a while longer, but now the sun was beginning to go down, and was touching the top of the mountains.

Crane looking up noticed this and frowned, "Tigress were we are on this mountain top, if there was anybody down there we would have seen them by now." He finally said, "If it will make you feel any better, let's hit the sac and resume looking in the morning."

"Alright, go grab the others and see if they saw anything."Tigress ordered.

"Ok be right back."

The area that they were watching was far away from the Valley of Peace, about ten to thirteen days walking distance. Also it was much smaller than their home valley, Tigress took that to her advantage and had ordered the rest of the team to take up strategic positions around the valley that they are watching.

They tracked the General down to this valley, after weeks away from home they still haven't found any sign of the wolf here. Before going on this mission Master Tigress had been training harder than she normally would, and because of this she was now stronger than ever.

Tigress watched Crane disappear into the distance, and then focused on the valley once again. Ever since the attack on the village Tigress was obsessing over getting back at the General. She had let it consume her life. At one point after waking up from one of her nightmares involving General Kaowski, Tigress saw Po standing in the door checking on her, and thinking he was the wolf Tigress attacked him. Po felt the full extent of Tigresses newfound strength, in about three seconds Po had a broken arm and scratches all over his body.

And she still hasn't forgiven herself for that.

Tigress sat for a while looking out into the valley, and pondered what was going on, why hasn't she seen him yet? Where are you I swear when I find you I will rip you into tiny little pieces, then feed you to Po. Tigress cringed at the thought; ok maybe I'll just rip you into tiny pieces. Alright Tigress calm down and meditate until Crane gets back.

Meditating even when she was a cub when she first arrived at the Jade Palace has helped her control her anger. So that's what she did until Crane and the others got back.

"General, are you sure this is the right place?" asked a small leopard. Whose question was met with a fist to its face.

"How dare you question my decision making?" The General thundered, but he understood. Right now he and his remaining army which numbered about thirty had their backs against the wall. The wolf knew that the five were chasing them; they've had many close encounters where they almost found him.

The General and his men walked across the bridge, and set up in the cave. They found the cave due to Kaowski's childhood. When he was young this is where he and his friends used to hang out. His home village isn't very far away.

Him and his men walked into the cave and got to work, making the cave a fit place to work.

"I want a new door capable of being shut by the flick of a paw!" Ten of General Kaowski's men scurried away to meet his demands.

"Also make me a chair fit for the emperor himself placed at the end of this entrance." He ordered.

The cave was a huge system, a labyrinth of different chambers and hallways leading into the main entrance. It was magnificent example of erosion, thirty meters tall, forty wide and one hundred meters long.

"Ok I have a plan to get rid of this menace." The General said before his remaining army.

"First when our friends find us we will…"

Crane flew across the valley to where Viper and Mantis were hiding. The team was relieved to see Crane. He landed softly in front of the pair and smiled. "Good to see you guys are still here."

"Ya well we thought about heading back to the Jade Palace, this mission has pretty much turned out to be pretty pointless." Mantis sighed.

"Tigress seems to be convinced that he is here somewhere, and her gut has never let us down before." Crane said, defending Tigress.

"What about when she thought we could defeat Tai long?" Mantis asked, slightly annoying Crane causing him to sigh and roll his eyes.

"Well anyway you get the point, she wants it done we have to do it." Crane jumped in the air and hovered above the two, "Get back to the main camp, Tigress is there I'm going to get Po and Monkey."

"Ok," they said in unison. And set off for the camp.

Crane flew to the northern most mountain in the valley, where Po and Monkey were observing their part of this small valley.

Crane landed to find a sleeping panda and a bloodshot-eyed Monkey.

"Monkey, what's going on?" Crane asked fighting a laugh at Po who was drooling in his sleep.

"Po has pretty much been sleeping, eating, and complaining this whole time. So I had to do all the work." Monkey turned to Crane and Crane could see just how tired Monkey really was. He couldn't help himself he started to laugh. This in turn woke up Po, who was surprised to see Crane.

"Oh hey what's up?" Po asked all too casually, getting up and scratching his back against a tree.

"On a mission what about you?" Crane laughed, with Po not getting the joke, "Alright lets head back to the main camp."

Mantis and Viper were the first to arrive back to the camp.

Tigress had been meditating into the night, when the two walked up.

Tigress opened one eye, "So you guys see anything?"She asked.

"No nothing," Mantis replied.

"Are you sure he is in this valley?" Viper asked, slithering up to Tigress.

"Yes, I have a good feeling he is here, where else could he be?" Tigress calmly replied, getting up from the lotus position. "You guys rest I'll wait for the Crane and the others."

Mantis and Viper nodded and set up their bed rolls and rested. Tigress decided to start a fire to help her meditate even deeper. This proved to be a tougher task than she previously thought, because most of the wood around was moist from the snow. But as soon as she got the fire going, Po and Monkey walked up with Crane landing beside them.

Tigress sighed, slightly annoyed that she couldn't utilize the fire as she hoped but shrugged it off. She turned to Po, "Have you seen anything?"

"No, absolutely nothing," he replied.

"Po that's because you slept and ate the whole time, maybe I saw something." Monkey said, still tired.

"Well did you see anything?" Tigress said getting irritated.

"No," Monkey said.

Tigress sighed and started pacing back and forth.

"Are you sure he's here?" Po asked which sent Tigress over the edge.

"YES!" She snapped, immediately feeling bad for snapping at Po like that. And waking up Viper and Mantis in her sudden burst of anger, she felt bad for that too.

"Alright, alright, I was just askin." Po said submissively.

"Ok let's have dinner and…" Crane paused. Everyone stayed quiet looking at him, "did you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"Talking, like from a bunch of people." he said, "let's go check it out."

"Wait what about dinner?" Po asked being ignored by everyone.

And with that Crane led the way, down the mountain towards the voices he heard. They walked for about three hundred yards before they could see in the distance, a small encampment just inside of the forest.

"How could we have missed that?" Tigress whispered.

"Look above the camp, heavy tree coverage, I could of flied over it a hundred times and not seen it." Crane whispered back, "Let's get closer."

Walking closer they could now they could make out large figures huddling around a campfire, and a few tents and miscellaneous things.

Tigress's heart was pounding, please let this be him, let me get my chance to rip his head off, NO Tigress calm down. She thought extending her claws.

Now the team was close to the mysterious camp, and the valley was dark so that obscured their every move, but the snow although not even an inch in depth, made their footsteps louder than they usually would be. So Tigress Po and Monkey had to walk on all fours to be quieter.

As they crept closer they could see that there were, six of them three wolves, two oxen, and oddly enough one panda, but also there was no General.

"I've got the panda," Po whispered.

The team stopped behind a bush to listen in on the conversation.

"So Kabuto where is your brother again?"One of the wolves asked.

"About a mile from here, we'll walk there tomorrow. Oh and don't call him my brother, we may be blood, but I don't want to be associated with being his sibling, just his soldier. He's my General not my brother anymore. " Kabuto said back.

A mile? Could have sworn he was closer, wait his brother well I guess we'll just let them take us to the General. Tigress thought. The rest of the team was thinking the same thing, and all it took was a nod to tell what they will be doing

"Po, go get our things and slowly and quietly, set them up behind those bushes."Tigress whispered, so low she could barely hear it.

Po reluctantly did as he was told, and walked away rather silently.

"Hey guys," the panda said, "When's the food going to be ready?" he asked.

Hmm reminds me of somebody, can't remember who though. Tigress smiled at the thought.

"That's all you can think about isn't it? Hey be right back I'm going to go take a pee." The bigger of the two oxen said and headed right for the team.

Tigress raised a closed fist signaling to stay put. The ox walked right to their bush. Not about to let him pee on her Tigress stood up and before the ox could react she caught him with a right hook to the temple, knocking him flat out, and making his body hit the ground with a soft thud.

To her and the rest of the teams surprise the falling ox didn't gain the others attention. But they would notice soon.

"Alright wasn't my best choice, and now we have to take the other guys out. So hopefully we can get one of them to rat." Tigress whispered, "Let's move."

They decided that attacking from three different angles was best, Tigress opted for the angle where she was behind the general's brother, and when the rest of the General's men were surrounded with a roar they attacked.

Tigress ran as fast as her four legs could take her at the General's brother, who was sitting on a log, and who seemed bigger than his sibling. So to kick it off she threw a round house kick at his head, which connected heavily, setting him off balance. Out of the corner of her eye Tigress could see that as other soldiers reacted to the surprise attack, the rest of the five attacked them.

"What the?" said the panda, who now was fighting monkey. And unfortunately for him, Monkey knew the panda's weaknesses.

To take advantage of the wolf being off balance, and getting up Tigress swept his legs out from under him, but the wolf got up fast just like his brother.

"Who are you and why are you attacking us?" Kabuto snarled bearing his teeth.

"You are General Kaowski's brother right?" Tigress shot back.

"Yes now who are you?" Kabuto snarled.

"I am master Tigress, part of the Furious Five and protector of the valley of peace." She said. She could now see that kabuto's men were now taken down and tied to a tree, also Po was running back from setting up the camp.

The wolf took his eyes off Tigress for one moment to look Po, a dire mistake, Tigress lunged at him, and she side kicked him in the chest, sending him flying into a tree.

But with a weird gurgling sound he got back up.

I really hope he's not as tough as his brother. Tigress thought. When she finished the thought Kabuto ran at her, jumped in the air, dodging a punch thrown by Tigress, and coming down on top of her head with an axe kick.

"Tigress!" Viper yelled, "Monkey lets go, Mantis stay here and watch them!" Viper ordered, with a frown Mantis did as he was told.

Viper jumped onto the wolves back and proceeded to strangle him, with monkey rushing over to help Tigress.

"I'm fine monkey! Go help Viper." Tigress said picking herself up off the ground. She turned to Po "Po get in there and fight!" Tigress roared.

"Oh right!" Po said back who was eating the dinner of the enemy. He rushed in and bounced the wolf off of his butt, unfortunately with Viper still on kabuto's back. The both of them were sent hurtling into a pile of bushes.

Tigress ran over and as the canine was getting up Tigress double open palmed punched him straight through a tree.

Looks like that training paid off, Tigress thought amazed by her feat of strength.

The five ran over and surrounded the wolf.

"Ok tomorrow you are going to lead us right to the General's hideout! Do you hear me?" Tigress growled.

"What are you going to do send me through another tree?" Kabuto sarcastically asked.

"Don't temp me." Tigress said, all to ready to do exactly that.

The wolf tried to get up, but failed when Tigress slammed her foot into his chest.

"Oh alright, I'll take you there in the morning!" Kabuto gasped.

"Make sure he doesn't run, lets head back up to our camp," Tigress said walking away, good tomorrow I will have my chance to get him, to finish what HE started. Tigress thought, tomorrow is the day I get to kill him.
