Hi, everyone. As you can tell, this is a rewrite. More specifically, a rewrite of my first story. I had planned to rewrite it later. But, I have a poll in my profile that I need you guys to answer before I continue. So, please vote in the poll and enjoy the rewrite.
In the Jade Palace, minutes before it was time for the morning gong was suppose to ring. The warriors were sleeping peacefully in their rooms. Except for one, that is. Tigress was tossing and turning in her bed from her dream.
Tigress's dream
Tigress found herself in a sunny meadow with many tiger lilies . She looked around and seen Po a small ways off. She smiled and began running towards him, and he ran towards two of them embraced. They began to lean in for a kiss, but just before they did, a small version of a wolf fell from the sky and tore the two apart. He spoke to Tigress in a demonic voice, saying, "YOU SHALL NEVER FIND LOVE, TIGRESS! NEVER!"
With that declaration, he disappeared, and the sky turned blook red. Tigress turned to where Po had been, but he had vanished. "Po!? PO!?" Lava began to shoot out of the ground. Tigress began running. She came to an abrupt stop when a crack appeared in the ground. She tried to change direction, but another crack formed, until it was surrounding the chunk of earth she was standing on, slowly falling away. She took a chance to jump off, but she just reached the edge, and barely had grip. The rest of the five appeared above her. "Please, help me up!"
The all grinned evilly at her and said in unison and with demonic voices, "Enjoy your eternal burning." At that, the earth she was clinging to fell away and she fell into darkness.
End dream
Tigress sat up in her bed, panting and sweating. She rubbed her face and turned towards the door. She took a few breaths to calm herself. Suddenly, the morning gong rang. She, along with the other students at the palace, rushed to her door, and said, "Good morning, Master."
Shifu smiled. "Good morning students. And, nice of you to join us, on time for once, Panda."
"Come on! I've been here for a couple years, so it should be expected that I'd get it."
Monkey replied with a chuckle and said, "Yeah, but the rest of us only needed a few weeks." Po crossed his arms and huffed in annoyance.
Shifu let out a chuckle at the exchange. "Students." They turned to him. "We will be heading out on a special mission. After breakfast, we will be meeting in the Sacred Hall of Warriors."
"Yes, Master Shifu." All his students bowed and headed to the kitchen, but he held out his staff to stop Tigress. When the others had left, she asked, "Yes, Master?"
"What is troubling you, Tigress?"
Tigress blinked in surprise. "Wha-"
Shifu held up his hand to stop her question. "I noticed your sweating and heavy breathing when you opened your door. Common signs of a nightmare. What was it about? Was it with Shen killing Po again?"
Tigress shook her head. "No. It wasn't that. It was..different this time."
Shifu raised an eyebrow. "How so?" Tigress then began to tell him what she had dreamed, leaving out when she had embraced Po. Shifu nodded and asked, "Is that everything?"
"Yes, master."
He raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" Tigress bit her lip. "Did it involve Po?" She nodded. "And?"
She took in a breath and replied. "We..hugged. And...almost..kissed. We were pulled apart at the last moment by the miniature wolf."
Shifu nodded and stroked his beard. "I believe it is just your mind trying to resolve your feelings for Po, and thus, showed you your worst fears coming true. I wouldn't worry about it. But, you should try to resolve them, as such things can hinder your performance in a fight."
"Yes, master Shifu."
Shifu smiled. "Now. Go get some breakfast." Tigress nodded.
kitchen
Tigress arrived just in time for Po to pass out the noodles. Po smiled to her as she sat down. "So, what did Shifu want to talk to you about?"
She waved her hand dissmissively. "It was nothing important." She then began to eat her noodles, while the others raised an eyebrow.
Viper asked, "Are you sure it was?"
"Yes."
Po then asked, "Is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine. Please stop asking about it."
The others looked at each other, but complied as they ate.
half an hour later, hall of warriors
The warriors all walked into the hall of warriors, curious as to what their mission was going to be. Shifu smiled towards them. "Alright. Our mission is.." He cut himself off when he seen a portal appear in midair near the sword of heroes. "What in the world!?" All the warriors looked towards it with raised eyebrows. Then, a being that looked like a miniature wolf fell, face-first into the ground. All of the warriors, not including Tigress, regarded the thing with mild curiosity. Tigress looked at it in fear and anger, as he perfectly matched the description of the one she seen in her dream, right down to the clothes it was wearing, which was a dark, vertically striped shirt, with dark blue pants, and fingerless gloves.
Alright. I'm going to give this the same number of chapters, and each of the chapters will follow along with the original, only having minor changes. Now, with the poll, please go there. If you've already seen it, you know I'm asking you who I should ship DB with, which is the coyote that just fell through the portal. Now, the answers-along with what they mean for me if they are the most picked- are as follows:
Wan Wu(a Wu sister, duh)- I change nothing with my stories and continue as is.
Shining Star(an OC of mine)- I do a major rewrite of my stories to coincide with that.
Uhh..I like fried chicken(basically, this means you don't care and has the same results as the other two tying)- I write two sets of stories, one with DB dating Wan Wu, one with him dating Shining Star.
I do not care which wins, just as long as the majority of my fans are happy. Review and vote in the poll.
