The clan of the undying dragon

It has been a month since Tigress had experienced near death when she was poisoned whilst trying to save Shifu from six wolf bandits who were members of "The clan of the undying dragon". An ancient clan of rogue assassins that protected China from incoming threats.

Legends say that the clan was destroyed three thousand years ago by master Oogway single handedly and the leader of the clan , Poa Yun, was exiled.

It was an average day in the valley, Po and the furious five were in the training hall spending the rest of the day by training with the equipment. Monkey was practicing on the ceiling hoops, Viper was on the flaming floor, Mantis and crane were on the wooden warriors and Po and Tigress were outside away from the noise sparring.

"You're going down!" Po taunted Tigress like he was going to one hundred percent win.

"We will see about that" Tigress replied to him, accepting his challenge.

Po started the countdown, focusing his attention on her

"3"

"2"

Tigress quickly said "1" and fly kicked him in the face, causing Po to meet the ground with his face.

Po lifted himself up trying to recover from a hard hit

"Oow, i wasn't ready Ti." he snapped at Tigress

"Sorry, i thought the dragon warrior was always ready?." She replied to him in a sarcastic tone.

"Well I wasn't that time, good kick by the way,"

"Thank you." Tigress accepted his compliment by nodding her head.

By the time Po lifted himself from the ground, training had finished and the night had begun.

Po and the five were heading to the kitchen. Since the five were too exhausted to go out to the village, Po decided to cook for them noodles, the same meal he cooked for them when he was at his second night at the Jade palace two years ago, just for old times sake.

Mantis slurped his bowl of noodles before complimenting Po.

"Your cooking never fails to amaze us, what's your secret?"

"If i told you that, it wouldn't be a secret now would it?"

"No it wouldn't"

"Exactly"

There was a brief silence for a moment whilst everyone was eating their noodles, Tigress decided to speak to Po after she had finished swallowing the Tofu she was eating, (for some reason she didn't like eating what Po and the others were eating during dinners).

"So Po, your skills have been improving"

Po looked up at her and replied

"Thanks"

He then looked down at his now-finished bowl of noodles.

"Yeah, they have been a lot better than last week" Mantis said to Po

Po didn't say anything to thank him, he just looked at him and smiled.

Tigress was concerned about Po's attitude, it was rare to find him at this state, he would usually be talkative and be filled with smiles.

"Po are you ok?."

"I'm fine"

"Po you're not fine, what's wrong?."

"I'm just a bit tired that's all."

Po got up from his seat, heading to his room so he could stop getting the attention he was having. Tigress didn't give up, she was determined to find out what was troubling him.

She got up from her seat and went up to Po, (who was in front of his bedroom door by the time Tigress had caught up with him.

"Could you tell me what is wrong?, i only want to help."

Po took a deep sigh and then looked at her.

"I'm thinking about that day. That day when you were poisoned."

"Po, you don't need to worry about that anymore."

"I know, I just...I thought you were going to die." A few tears came out of Po's eyes.

Tigress then pulled Po's head against her right shoulder and tried to calm him down.

"I'm sorry, it's just I care about you." Po whimpered to her.

"I know, I know." Tigress replied.

"I just hated watching you in pain, I hated watching you suffer like that." Po whimpered to her( with a touch of anger in his voice).

Tigress let Po cry for a little longer before lifting his head away from her shoulder, looking him in the eye and put her left hand on his cheek saying.

"I'm not going anywhere. As long as I'm here, I will stand by you."

Po wiped the tears from his eyes and replied.

"Thank you, you're a really good friend."

"Anytime."

After a few minutes, Po calmed himself down and decided to go to bed.

"Good night Tigress"

"Goodnight Po, you sleep well" Tigress replied before retreating to her room.

The next day the gong rang making everyone stand outside their rooms and say to Shifu" Good morning master." as usual.

Shifu gave his students a brief glare to make sure if they were ready for the day and then told them to rally at the training hall.

As Shifu, the five and Po were nearing their destination, a huge explosion was heard, forcing everyone to stop dead in their tracks to suddenly look behind them to see a smoke cloud in the distance.

"That sounded like it came from the village bank." Shouted Monkey as he was looking at the position of the cloud.

"Students, find out what is going on and stop whoever is doing this!" Shifu demanded his students.

"Yes master" The five and Po said in unison as they were making their way towards the village bank.

This took longer than I thought it would. I'm sorry I was away for a long time, I was extremely busy with my life which ended up in me giving up. I will try to start posting chapters more frequently.
