Chapter: Po's Sacrifice

Tigress was in the training hall practicing her kicks when Po came in. "Hey kitten mind if I join you?" he asked with a smile. She purred at him and gave him a challenging grin.

"Course you can but I am not going easy on you", she told him.

"Wouldn't want you to", Po said with a challenge grin of his own. They bowed before each other and began to spar. Tigress leapt at him but Po blocked and sent her spinning. She regained her footing and did a backflip kicking him in the stomach. He bounced up and threw a punch at her and she blocked it. Then using her paws she flipped him over and pinned him to the mat.

"Do you give?" she asked in a seductive voice.

"Not just yet", Po said.

"Oh really", Tigress said with an amused grin. Then in a flash she used her tail to tickle him. Po squirmed and laughed as Tigress held him to the mat.

"Come on Tigress no fair", Po giggled as he try to get away but Tigress held him firm.

"Say you give and I will let you go", she said with a smile.

"Okay I give", Po laughed as tears came from his face. Tigress stopped but it wasn't long before she crashed her lips onto his. They both closed their eyes as they enjoyed the moment but soon it was broken up by Monkey.

"Po, Tigress Master Shifu needs us oh am I interrupting anything?" he asked awkwardly when he came upon his two friends. Tigress blushed as she got to her feet and helped Po up.

"No it's okay Monkey we are fine let's see what Master Shifu wants", Po said breaking the awkward they all went to see Shifu.

"Good all of you are here I have a mission for you all. It was reported that an ancient scroll containing hidden Kung Fu moves was in an abandoned temple. Only the six of you are skilled enough to get the scroll and bring it back. If the scroll ever fell into the wrong hands who would know the chaos it could cause", Shifu said.

"Yes Master we shall retrieve it at once", Tigress said firmly. The others nodded in response as they prepared for their trip.

"Hey Tigress after we get back there is something important I want to ask you", Po told his girlfriend.

"Okay Po you can ask me at the peach tree", Tigress said with a smile. Po was nervous for a year ago he was dating a real witch lioness named Jasmine but soon got dumped by her. Then Tigress revealed her true feelings for him and they began dating. Inside his room under his mattress was an engagement ring. He already asked Shifu's permission and his Master happily gave it. Now all he had to do was work up the courage to ask the woman he loved to be his wife. The gang made it to the temple and slowly made their way in. According to Shifu the scroll would be in the center of the temple. Yet, he also told them to be careful for there were hidden booby-traps everywhere. Tigress silently led them down a dark hall as there held torches. She saw a lever and pulled it and the wall in front of them pulled up revealing a chamber. They saw a few steps and at the top was a pedestal and on the pedestal was a scroll. Tigress being the quickest ran up the steps and carefully pulled it out. Then very carefully brought it back without setting off the traps and they were all about to leave when wolf bandits showed up. They too heard of the scroll and wanted to sell it to the highest bidder. Viper used her tail to knock a wolf bandit into another one as Monkey did a flying kick and sent a bandit into the wall. Crane and Mantis were doing their best and knocked three bandits unconscious. Tigress was fighting one wolf bandit but one snuck up behind her with a dagger.

"Tigress look out!" Po yelled as he knocked the bandit out. Tigress sent the last bandit flying but he landed on a tile and it went down. Soon the whole temple began to shake as the wolf bandits ran for it as did the Furious Five and Po. Monkey held the scroll as they all ran for the door. A pillar was about to fall on Tigress when Po pushed her out of the way. The force sent her rolling out the door but Po got trapped under the pillar. Soon a fire from the torches spread as more pillars fell.

"Po hold on I'm coming!" Tigress yelled as fear covered her eyes. Po knew if his friends tried to help him then they would all perish. So with his last bit of strength he threw a rock at the lever causing it to smash and the door began to close. "No!" Tigress screamed. She leapt at the door but it closed sealing Po inside. "No, no!" she growled as she clawed at the stone wall but it was no use.

"Tigress we have to go!" Crane said pulling her to come.

"No I am not leaving him!" Tigress yelled with tears streaming down her face. It took all four members to pull Tigress out of the temple. "No let me go! Po, Po!" she screamed as her voice echoed through the hall. Po was still trapped but managed to get free. He looked around and saw one pillar crash into the wall making an exit for him. He ran with all his might as he crawled through the hole. Po made it but a small rock hit him hard on the head and he rolled out and slid down a hill as he landed into a river. He was carried downstream till he washed up on the shore. Looking around he wondered where he was and more importantly who he was. He didn't remember anything as he looked around the shore. Just then he heard a cry for help and went to see what was happening. A young rabbit was being attacked by some warthog.

"Please leave me alone!" the little rabbit cried.

"Shut up and give me your money!" the warthog snapped.

"Hey leave her alone!" Po shouted as he ran toward the warthog. He punched the warthog with his fist and did a flying kick. The warthog went flying and soon ran away.

"Oh thank you so much Mr. Ying Yang guy", the young rabbit said.

"You're welcome little sister", Po said with a grin.

"My name is May I live in River Town just a few steps this way. That horrible warthog has been terrorizing our town and so are the other bandits", May said fearfully.

"Show me these bandits May", Po said. May lead him to a small dirt town that had bandits everywhere, as the citizens ran in terror. Po's face went red and within a few minutes he began to fight off all the bandits. The citizens looked in awe as this white and black stranger battled all the bandits who terrorized their town for years. As each bandit ran at Po they were met with a punch or kick. Soon all of them cleared out in fear as the others were beaten badly. When the last bandit ran out of town the citizens all came out.

"Thank you stranger my name is Mr. Zander, mayor of River Town", said a large round turkey. "May we have your name stranger?" he asked Po. Po didn't know what to say for he couldn't remember his name but he knew he was meant to protect people. Then he remembered what May had called him.

"Mr., Ying is my name", Po said with a smile.

"Well Mr. Ying we would be more than happier if you would become our new sheriff", Mr. Zander said. Po just smiled and shook his hand as the citizens cheered for their new sheriff who had brought justice back into River Town.
