The Lion and The Tigress 2
It's been one week since Tigress left the Jade Palace on her mission and now has traveled deep into the eastern region of China. As the sun begun to set Tigress decide to make camp for the night.
Thinking to herself, Tigress: I been here for several days now and I haven't picked up any leads to where these bandits Master Shifu told me about are located. I can't fail this mission.
Tigress train of thought was broken when she heard a loud roar followed by the sounds of trees and stones breaking. Taking off to see what the commotion was about Tigress arrived on a road to see the source of all the commotion is a single warrior attacking a group of coyotes and oxen.
While punching an ox through a tree laughing, Leo: Is this really the best you got?
Holding his ribs, Random Ox: We need to get out of here and report this to the Boss before we're killed.
Sending a group of coyotes flying back by throwing one of the comrades into them, Leo: You picked the wrong lion to mess with today mutts.
Due to all the damage he was causing Tigress charged in attempting to kick Leo as he was about to strike one of the oxen, but Leo easily evaded the kick.
Taking her stance, Tigress: Everyone get out of here! I'll handle him.
Seeing Tigress appear, Random Ox: Good, Tigress can deal with him. Random Ox: Everyone retreat! Whispering, I will get you back for this lion.
Leo starts to pursue the fleeing animals but Tigress steps in front of him ready to attack.
Smirking, Leo: Well I hope you put up more of a challenge then your little friends did Kitty.
Angered at Leo's disrespectful attitude, Tigress growls as she charged in to attack Leo. Tigress tried striking, clawing and kicking Leo but he blocked every attack effortlessly before throwing her into a tree. Flipping off the tree Tigress barely dodged Leo's strike which destroyed the tree behind her. Tigress tried a spinning kick aimed at Leo's head but Leo caught her and pinned her to the ground.
With an unimpressed expression, Leo: You're stronger than your friends but I'm disappointed. Based on your stance and confidence I thought you would've been a better fighter.
Growling, Tigress: Get off me! They weren't my friends. I just wasn't going to stand around and let a bandit like you attack innocent travelers.
Realizing she wasn't part of the bandits group and releasing Tigress, Leo: I'm not a bandit and those innocent travelers were the ones who attacked me Kitty. I was just teaching them a lesson so next time you decide to jump into situations you might want to learn the full story first.
Standing up and glaring at Leo, Tigress: Even if that the case you were clearly stronger than them so you didn't have to …. Wait those were ones I was sent to capture! Great thanks to you they got away.
Raising his eyebrow, Leo: Technically you let them get away, but don't worry they're probably going to be tracking us pretty soon.
Confused, Tigress: And how is that a good thing? They can easily ambush us or attack us when we're defenseless.
Smirking, Leo: Relax Kitty. At their skill level even if they attacked us while we slept they still wouldn't be able to harm us. Beside now we don't have to find them. They'll come to us.
Growling, Tigress: The name isn't Kitty, it's Tigress and it's hard to relax when I know I'm being tracked. Especially now since the guys tracking me are the ones I'm after.
Leo: Well nice to meet you Kitty, I'm Leo and today's your lucky day. You can take all the credit for capturing those bandits after I use them as punching bags.
Firmly, Tigress: No I'm going to capture them on my own and you can just go on about your business.
Forcing Tigress against a tree with smirk across his face, Leo: Seeing that you can't physically stop me I don't think you have much of a choice in the matter, now do you. I'm not letting anyone get away with attacking me.
Realizing Leo is completely right, Tigress: Fine we'll work together but no killing or unnecessary use of force.
Chuckling, Leo: Sure whatever you say Kitty.
Growling as Leo walked away to grab his stuff, Tigress: It's Tigress!
While waiting for Leo, Tigress looked at the destruction he caused in his brief fight with her and the bandits.
Watching Leo, Tigress: Who is this guy? Where did he learn how to fight? How was he able to defeat me so easily while still holding back?
By the time Leo and Tigress made camp for the night the bandits that escaped earlier made it back to their base camp.
Still holding his injured side, Random Ox: Boss! We have a problem! My men and I ran into a powerful lion. He was able to defeat my entire unit on his own and Tigress is also in the region. I think she was sent here looking for us but it appears she's traveling alone. We were forced to retreat but I have a few of my men tracking them as we speak. If you want Boss we could ambush them tonight and kill them.
Their Boss is a powerful and large Yak with huge razor sharp horns.
Upon hearing the news, Boss: So the Jade Palace only sent Tigress to stop me. Good, after I kill Tigress I will be feared by everyone throughout China. Kung Fu masters will think twice before challenging me and villages will submit upon the site of me. As an added bonus I also get a rare lion's pelt.
Grabbing the Ox by the neck, Boss: Everyone listen up! The Jade Palace must believe we are a joke because they only sent Tigress to fight us. Tonight we will kill her and show all of China why we should be feared. As for this unknown lion, first one to kill him and bring me his pelt will gain the rank of general in my army. Anyone who runs away or retreats, breaks the Ox's neck, will end up like this coward. Weakness will not be tolerated. After we kill Tigress we will expand our territory west and then to all of China.
The Boss laughed as his army of bandits cheered and prepared for battle.
