Chapter 2

Jade returned home from Xiao's house. She was so hungry. Her mother had supper ready. Noodle soup. Her Favorite.

"Mm…looks delicious Mom!" She said as she dug in. Tigress purred at the sight of her daughter, but she felt a pain in her heart because she reminded her of Po. "Glad you like it sweetheart. After dinner let's go training."

"Ok." Jade replied.

~Random Time Skip~

Tigress led Jade out of the village into the forest to train. Jade really enjoyed training; Tigress remembered the first time she took her out.

Flashback

Tigress brought Jade outside for her first training session. Jade was so excited she was about to explode. Tigress had never seen someone so excited for training; besides her father. Tigress and Jade walked farther, until they reached their destination. A little pond, with a stream coming out of it and a waterfall.

"Ready Jade?"

She smiled. "Heck yeah! Let's do this!"

Tigress smiled at the memory. That's where they were headed now. They loved going there. After they're training they would even go swimming. Tigress and Jade reached their favorite spot, and began their training.

~Place change~

Aku was sitting at his throne waiting for the soldiers to come back with information about Tigress and her daughter. He sighed with annoyance. What was taking so long? Suddenly a guard came in. "Master Aku! The soldiers sent us a message!"

Aku's ears perked up. He smiled. "Show me the message."

The Message read:

Dear Master Aku,

We have located Master Tigress. She is living in a secret panda village. We are going to lead an attack on the village and Kill Master Tigress. Would you like her daughter as a reward?

Signed,

The General.

Aku was surprised. Daughter? Master Tigress had a daughter…with a panda? Aku was confused. How…? He shook the thought out of his head. That wasn't important. He knew his answer.

"Respond with yes…I want her daughter. Make sure they bring her to me, Alive." He told the guard.

"Yes sir." The guard said walking out of the room.

"This is it. Tigress will die, her daughter will be mine, and no one can stop me."

~Place Change~

Jade's training session just ended. Jade was beat. She was so tired, she could barely move. She was panting, and she felt as If she was going to pass out. "Mom…" she groaned. "Do you have to make training so difficult?"

"Yes, you need this."

"Why?" she snarled "Why?"

"I am trying to protect you!" Tigress snapped. "Your father died because I couldn't protect him. I won't let you die. I have to make sure you are safe."

Jade suddenly felt guilty. She should of known that this was about her father. She sighed. "Sorry Mom…"

Tigress sighed. "It's alright. Let's go home." Tigress said as she started to walk away.

"I believe we can't let you do that…"

Tigress turned around. Standing there were ten soldiers. There was an alligator, a leopard, a panther, a crocodile, an elephant, a rhino, a fox, a cheetah, a tiger, and a bear.

"Who are you!?" Jade snarled.

"We are here for you; we are the soldiers of Master Aku."

Tigress eyes were wide with horror. Jade was confused. "Who's Aku?" She looked at Tigress. "Who's Aku?" she said louder, directed towards her mother.

"He's the man who killed the Kung Fu masters…and your father…" Tigress said looking at the ground.

"What?" Jade screamed. She looked at the soldiers, then back to her mother. "Why…?"

"Enough talk." The Alligator said. "Let's do this."

The soldiers attacked weapons in hand. Tigress and Jade got in their battle stances. It was time to fight.

Jade lunged at the leopard and started kicking and punching. The leopard easily dodged and punched Jade in the stomach. She flew backwards onto the ground. Then Tigress lunged herself at the fox, and kicked the fox in the face. The soldiers were ganging up on her now. The alligator hit her with his tail along with the crocodile. The fox scratched Tigress in the face, the leopard was still after Jade, the elephant was also keeping Jade distracted, and the other animals were after Tigress. Tigress was fighting for her life, she was getting attacked from all sides, and suddenly she felt a horrible pain in her side. She looked over and she realized the bear had stabbed her with his knife. Tigress fell to the ground. "NOOOO!" Jade screamed. The Alligator laughed. "We'll give you guys a minute…" and he walked away with the rest of the soldiers. Jade ran up to her mother. "MOM!" She screamed, tears streaming down her face. "MOM!"

Tigress looked at Jade weakly. "Jade…"

"MOM! No…why? Why did they try to kill you…?" Jade whimpered.

"They wanted to kill me for a long time…after I escaped with you. Their leader Aku is after us…he wants us out of the way…" Tigress explained. "Aku wanted control of China, he got that…after he killed your father and the other Kung Fu Masters…Jade, you have to stop him, you have to defeat him…you have to save China…"

"Mom…please, you have to stay…don't…don't go…" Jade cried.

"Jade, I love you…I love you so much. I want you to survive for me…I want you to know I will always be with you in your heart."

"Mom…no…" Jade whimpered.

"Goodbye my daughter…he's waiting for me…" Tigress said before her eyes closed forever.

"No…Mom…No…" Jade said, tears falling down her face. The Alligator approached her.

"Time to go." He said grabbing her.

This time she didn't fight back.
