Tai Lung's Apprentice:

PROLOGUE

The prophecy was built on legends and the first prophecy was the Dragon Warriors arrival.The second Prophecy was the greatest Master of all of China will die (Master Oogway) shortly after the choosing of the Dragon Warrior. Po, the Dragon Warrior defeated Tai Lung and restored balance to all of China. The third Prophecy was that Lord Shen will come back and reign all of China. But he was defeated by a warrior of black and white. The last Prophecy before the Soothsayer had died of an horrible disease that had spread all the way throughout the east side of China. Was not written on a scroll nor a diary or journal. She entrusted it with me and to tell no one. Though it's secret will be legendary. This is not a prophecy, only a saying: 'The feather of a bird will release the Leopard. The fur of a Tiger will be taught. The Apprentice will be released. And the Leopard will rot.' The Tiger named Tigresias was an old student and apprentice of Tai Lung. Tigresias will have the wolves and the peacocks work together to form a weapon that could destroy China with one button. But the Tiger will have to befriend the Furious Five, Po, and Master Shifu, to get on their good side. Then when the time comes, she'll strike!

CHAPTER ONE: The Morning Arises.

*EastChina-1200AM-Tigresias' Chamber

"Your weapon will be ready in a matter of days." Said the Peacock.

"Like how many?" Asked Tigresias.

"Maybe, a month or so?" Said the Peacock.

"What? I need it ready! Right NOW!" Yelled Tigresias. Tigresias walked forward and bumped into the wolf causing him to fall backwards almost falling into the fire pit.

"I know, I know you do Master Tigresias. But, if you only give us enough time." Said the Peacock.

"Enough time? Enough time?" Tigresias sighed and said, "Okay, okay, it better be done by the time I get back, twenty days, twenty days I'm giving you. Meet me at the pier right by the Valley of Peace in twenty days, 1100 hours. Got it?" Asked Tigresias giving him a stern look.

"Yes, Master." The Peacock had said in unison. Tigresias laughed sinisterly. "China will be mine!"

*West China-600AM-Valley of Peace-Jade Palace

The Morning Arose with the sun gleaming off the West China horizon.

The birds were chirping and the moon was setting.

The farmers were picking their crops and harvesting them.

While the Valley of Peace Villagers were sitting or standing on the wooden chairs just to get a glimpse of the sunrise that was soon shining upon them.

The gong had rang with intention.

As usual, the Furious Five and Po were getting up and running to the door as fast as they can.

"Good Morning, Master!" They all had said in unison.

All except for Po who was still sleeping the day off. Master Shifu still wouldn't expect him to get up up on time. After all, he managed to defeat Tai Lung and destroyed Shen all in one year. He should be tired. And he also mastered inner peace. But even though he said he wouldn't expect him to wake up on time, he did.

"Panda! Panda! Wake up! Huh?" Said Shifu as he entered Po's room.

The Furious Five walked towards Shifu and entered Po's room as well. The Furious Five were all in shock. Not because he wasn't there but because his room was clean. The Velvet Curtains were hanging across the bamboo carved window. There were drawings of the Furious Five on the walls. There were also his action figures on the bamboo windowsill.

"I thought Po was a disgusting slob, I guess I was wrong." Whisper Crane to Monkey as Mantis nodded in agreement.

"Tigress? Do you know where Po is at?" Asked the red Panda. Tigress' mouth opened and spoke.

"I don't know. But I know where he could be." Said Tigress as she gave an unnoticeable smirk on her expressionless face.

"Good, bring him to the Training Hall, we got a lot of Training to do if he wants to have the week off." Said Shifu.

"Master? What did you mean by that?" Asked Tigress.

"Oh yes, I forgot to mention that we have a tournament going on at the Jade Palace." Said Shifu with a grin.

"Who confirmed it?" Asked Viper.

"I did. It's a small thanks for defeating Lord Shen." Said Shifu.

"But, Po defeated Shen." Said Monkey.

"I know, but you helped, all of you, can an old Master say his thanks now that he is finally at peace?" Asked the curious defined Panda.

The Furious Five exchanged looks.

"As I was saying the tournament is going to be held at the Jade Palace, Tigress has managed to beat every one else' time on The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion before Po was chosen to be Dragon Warrior. Now its time to start with the Time Trials again." Said Shifu as he began to walk out of the Sleep Dorms.

The Furious Five began to walk out of the Sleep Dorms as well. But Tigress trailed off to the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. She did see Po at the Peach Tree. His arms was folded and his legs were in a meditative stance.

"Inner Peace, Inner Peace, Inner-".

He heard a crack near the bushes. He jumped up and got ready to fight in his Dragon Fighting Stance.

-"Who's there? I'm the Dragon Warrior! And FIGHT with Wings of Justice and SOULS of PLATINUM and AWESOMENESS!" Yelled Po although there was nothing in front of him. Tigress was on the other side of the hill which led to the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom, now she was visible to Po.

"Oh, it's just you Tigress." Said Po in relief as he sat down and began to stare at the stars which began dispersing into nothing.

"Yeah, it's me, so... What are ya thinking about?" Asked Tigress finally looking at Po but Po was not looking back at her.

"Just thinking of what my life would be like without my dad, Kung Fu, you." Tigress interrupted him.

"Me?" Asked Tigress.

"Yeah, I mean were like best friends, I was just thinking of what my life would like if you didn't care for me." Said Po finally smiling at the Peach Scent that lingered in and out of Po's nostrils, which was actually Tigress' perfume.

"Po. I didn't care for you. From the first moment you stepped into that tournament. But now that's changed." Said Tigress giving him a smile but then her smiled faded away.

"Changed?" Asked Po.

"Yes Po. We're best friends till the end." Said Tigress smiling. The awkward silence fell between them and then.

"OH! I almost forgot to tell you!" Yelled Tigress but it wasn't in a mean way.

"What?" Asked Po. "Master Shifu said that we have a tournament in the Training Hall we're doing. Its a Time Trial. We have to get through all the courses without getting a single scrape. And one of us with the quickest time gets the whole week off of training!" Said Tigress as she got up and helped Po up.

Po grabbed Tigress' paw and he got up and stretched. Po yawned.

"I'll race ya to the Training Hall!" Said Tigress.

"Oh, you're on!" Said Po.

Now Po and Tigress was racing to the Training Hall. Po won!

"I won!" Yelled Po. "Yeah, just luck."

They both laughed and went on to Master Shifu.

"Po. Glad for you to join us!" Said Master Shifu.

"Before we begin, we want to thank Master Lo Rida and Master Battle Ox for preparing this for us." Said Master Shifu.

"But I thought you said that you confirmed it?" Asked Mantis.

"Yes, I did confirm it, but he was the one who suggested it." Said Shifu added by a smile.

"Oh..." Said the Furious Five all except for Po who was clueless.

"Why do you look so puzzled for?" Asked Crane.

"I should have been there this morning. What does he mean by 'Confirmed'?" Asked Po.

"He means that Master Lo Rida and Master Battle Ox suggested this Time Trial Tournament. And Master Shifu confirmed it. And what he means by that, is that he accepted the Contract of Kung Fu." Said Crane hoping that Po will figure it out.

"What's a Contract of Kung Fu?" Asked Po. Crane groaned out loudly.

"It's a contract, obviously, and it helps certify the agreement." Said Crane.

"How do you know all this?" Asked Po.

"Because I was a lawyer before I was a janitor. And don't ask why I wanted to be a janitor instead of a lawyer, please." Said Crane.

"Oh okay, I get it now." Said Po as he joined the Five as they were agreeing on the rules and regulations.

"Do you agree on all the rules and regulations?" Asked Master Battle Ox.

"Yes, sir!"

*West China-800AM-Valley of Peace-Valley of Peace Cemetery-Where Tai Lung is Buried

The Tiger stood inside the Valley of Peace Cemetery, she stood right by the Statue and Coffin of Tai Lung.

"Don't worry, Master Tai Lung, you will soon have your revenge and I will have mine." Said Tigresias as she laughed sinisterly.

The Black and White Tiger went out of the Cemetery, and soon found the stairs that leads all the way up to the Jade Palace.

*West China-805AM-Valley of Peace-Jade Palace

The Furious Five and Po gathered on opposite sides of inside the Training Hall.

"Mantis, you're up!" Said Master Shifu as he waved his hand to continue.

"HIYAHH!" Mantis said as he went through The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion, then through the rings, and onto the fiery pit, trying to dodge the fire, and then went onto the Jade Tortoise, and he was soon out with one second to spare.

"Time!" Said Shifu as he said, "Four minutes and fourteen seconds!" Mantis was mad, but he made it through and that's all that counts, next up is!

"Crane!" Yelled Shifu as he waved his hand as a 'GO' sign.

"HA WAH HIYAHH!" Said Crane as he went through the Jade Tortoise, then the fiery pit, also dived through the rings as fast as he can and flew over The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion and with two seconds to spare.

"Four minutes and thirteen seconds!" Yelled Shifu as he was signaling Monkey.

"Monkey!" Yelled Master Shifu.

Monkey went through the rings and through The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion, and through the fiery pit, and onto the Jade Tortoise, and was done with three seconds to spare.

"Four minutes and twelve seconds!" Said the Red Panda.

"Viper GO!" Yelled the Red Panda.

Viper went through the fiery pit, which was easier for her because she was built for flexibility, then she went through the Jade Tortoise and through the rings, and soon went through The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion, and she was out with four seconds to spare.

"Four minutes and eleven seconds!" Said Master Shifu.

"Tigress GO!" Yelled Shifu.

Tigress went through The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion, then onto the Jade Tortoise and then through the rings, and onto the fiery pit. Now she was done with five seconds to spare.

"Now Po's turn! You'll be impressed of what he accomplished!" Said Master Shifu to Master Lo Rida and Master Battle Ox.

They nodded and continued watching the Panda. The Panda gulped because he doesn't want to make a complete fool of himself in front of the Masters.

"Okay... Here it goes! Let's DO THIS!" Said Po. Po jumped on the Jade Tortoise, and rushed through The Wooden Clubs of Oblivion without hitting anything, then he jumped straight through the rings and onto the fiery pit, avoiding the fire combustion's and he was soon out with no scratches or burnt marks.

"Looks like the Panda wi-" Said Shifu but something interrupted him.

A knock.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Po went to go open the door and their she was.

A Tiger with Black and White stripes.

"Hi, I want to become one of the Furious Five."
