Six months later

I do not own Kung Fu Panda

First off I want to apologize for changing Dai's last name but I recently found out that Dai was a Japanese name so I decided to change it and Dai's father is from Japan anyway so it makes sense. Sorry again for any confusion.

One more thing before the story starts.

I want to thank Animation Universe 2005 for his reviews you have no idea how much it means to me to get them.

SpiritualLoneWolfXIII thanks for letting Dai be able to redirect Lightening (even if it's nearly going to kill him)

Jweaks2016 again thanks for letting me use your staff's idea.

Now on with the story.

Read and review

Two Imperial guards dragged a beaten and bloodied White tiger between them they took him to the Emperor's throne room and dropped him in front of the throne. The Emperor of China got up off his throne and walked up the Tiger. "The legendary Takeshi Nakamura." "You've caused a lot of problems for me recently." "But I'm willing to ignore all this if you swear you're loyalty to me." Takeshi growled. "You're not the Emperor, you're an imposter!" Takeshi said. "I'll never join you!" "We'll just have to change your mind." The Emperor said. "Take him back to his cell!" The Guards took Dai's father back to his cell and the Emperor sat back down on his throne and addressed his guards. "I want you to go to the Valley of Peace there you'll find Takeshi's son Dai." "What do you want us to do when we find him?"One of the guards said. "I want you to bring him to me."

Dai Nakamura walked through the village recently he had started thinking about trying to find his parents. Six months had passed since the events of Gongmen City and things were pretty quiet in the Valley of Peace. Dai bought a green apple from the apple cart Duck and kept walking while he ate it. "Dragon warrior." One of the villagers said as he walked past. Even though technically Dai was no longer the Dragon Warrior people still referred to him as it. Dai walked around the village for awhile longer then went back up to the Jade Palace. That was one of the thing Dai had started to change He and the others spent more time in the village. They sometimes even stayed overnight in a house that been built in the village for them at Dai's request.

Dai was so busy thinking about his parents that he didn't see Viper and stepped on her. "Sorry Viper." Dai said lifting his foot off her tail. "I didn't see you there." He continued walking towards his room lost in thought. When he got there he found Tigress inside. Technically they did share the room but Tigress mostly slept in the Barracks with the others. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing." Dai replied taking his swords off and setting them on the floor along with his staffs and sitting down on the bed. "It's my parents." Dai said. "I was thinking since it's been pretty calm in the valley lately I thought I'd start looking for them." "How do you know they're even still alive?" Tigress asked. "They have to be." Dai said. "I'll come with you." Tigress said. "Great!" "We can leave tomorrow." Tigress left Dai's room as he started to get ready for bed but she peaked through the crack she blushed hugely as Dai undressed, it was a good thing she had orange fur, she walked away after a moment.

Dai climbed into bed and laid there for a long while. Maybe, just maybe he'd find his parents still alive. As much as he hated to go back there Gongmen City would be a good place to start. He had been raised there. Stopping off at Master Li's Academy would be a good idea too. He hadn't seen Raine in a while. What will she do when she sees Tigress? Dai thought. He and Tigress were basically mates. "Maybe I should tell Tigress before she finds out." Dai thought.

The next morning while he and Tigress were packing for the trip Dai said. "I want to stop at Master Li's Academy on the way to Gongmen City." "There are some friends of mine there and we'll need their help for this mission." "What about the Five?" Tigress asked. "No, someone needs to stay behind and protect the valley while we're gone." Dai said. "Anyway before we leave there's something you need to know." "What is it?" Tigress asked. "Back at the Academy here was this girl." Dai said scratching the back of his neck. "What?" Tigress said. Dai's ears flattened against his head. "Um…." Dai said but he was saved from further explanation by Zane flying into his room and crashing into the wall. "Zane?" Dai asked "Are you okay?" "Trouble… in the valley." Zane gasped. "So much for calm!" Dai said grabbing his staffs and rushing out of his room with tigress.

Dai grabbed a shield and rode it down the stairs when he reached the bottom he saw some Imperial Guards but something wasn't right. What are they doing here? He wondered. "Can I help you?" Dai asked keeping a hand on his staffs. "Dragon Warrior, we're looking for Dai Nakamura." "Well, you found him." Dai said and the guards suddenly attacked him. "Hey!" Dai said jumping backwards and drawing his staffs. "What do you want with me?" Dai asked. "The Emperor has ordered you're arrest." One of the guards said. "What!?" Dai thought. "I'm not going anywhere." Dai said sparking his staffs and taking a fighting stance. The guards charged at Dai who deflected their swords and spears with his staffs. He hit one of the Guards and he yelled and fell to the ground. Dai let out a small laugh and hit another Guard and he too fell to the ground convulsing from the electric shock. At that point Tigress arrived running up next to Dai and taking a fighting stance.

The Guards attacked them and Dai swung his staffs but the guards had learned to keep their distance from them. Dai lunged at one of the guards causing him to stumble backwards and fall over Dai rushed him before he could stand up and hit him with his staffs shocking him. He turned around and faced the other Guards who were attacking Tigress. One of them slashed her across the stomach and she yelled and fell to the ground. Dai rushed towards her throwing his staff as hard as he could at the Guard who'd hurt her. The staff actually impaled the guard killing him almost instantly and the rest retreated. Dai pulled the staff out of the guard and went over to Tigress. "Tigress." He said kneeling down next to her. He put a hand on her wound to help stop the bleeding. Dai picked her up and carried her to their house in the village and kicked the door open, He set Tigress on a bed and lifted her blood soaked shirt to expose the wound on her stomach. It didn't look too deep but it was bleeding a lot. Dai grabbed the bed sheet and tore it apart to make a bandage.

Carefully Dai removed Tigress's blood stained shirt and wrapped the makeshift bandages around her he laid her back down. Dai remained in the room watching Tigress as she slept and when she woke up he was going after the guards. He didn't care who they were no one hurt Tigress. Tigress woke up about an hour later and saw Dai sitting near her. The first thing she noticed was her missing shirt and bandages wrapped around her stomach "I had to take your shirt off it was soaked in blood." Dai explained picking up Tigress's shredded shirt. "I'll get you a new one, don't worry." "Are you okay?" Dai asked. "I'm fine." Tigress said. "Who were those guys?" "Imperial Guards." Dai said. "They had orders from the Emperor to arrest me." "Why?" Tigress asked sitting up. "I don't know but I'd like to find out." Dai said standing up. "I think we'll have post pone finding my parents again and with you injured I don't want to risk it."
