Month with Tigeress

CH7: Prideful Tigers

The sun was now setting down as myself, Shifu and Po arrived back at the jade palace. it was a joyful moment, Po was happy that he learned a great deal of kung fu, Shifu was pleased with him self for teaching Po to do Kung fu and myself was enjoying their company. as we reached the gate Shifu spoke "You done well panda" "Done well..done well i did awesome" Po paised himself as his belly shoved Shifu. "The mark of a true hero is humility but yes you have done awesome" Shifu said as he punched Po belly causing Po to be shoved sideways. They both laughted pointing to each other as i also laughted and enjoyed myself.

But the laughter was cut short as we all heared wing flaps behind us. as we took a look it was Crane. "huh?" said Po as Crane landed causing the furious 4 to also hit the ground. Po was first to react as he ran up towards them "Guys! Guys! they dead no they breathing, they asleep no they eyes are open" at that moment everything around me was slient after looking at Tigeress. all i could hear was my heart pounding in my chest as if i was going to suffer a heart attack. it was all different when I watch the movie i was worried for her but that was gone the moment Shifu fixed her but here i can see her injurys and if she wasn't breathing i would have thought that she was dead.

But that ended as Shiu walked up towards her and cured her from Tai Longs nerve attack. "I thought we could stop him" Tigeress said as i walked behind her "he could have killed you" Shifu said calmly. "Why didn't he" "So you could come back here and strike fear into our hearts but that won't work" Shifu replying to Mantis. "ah it might...I mean a little...am pertty scared" "you can defeat him panda" Shifu said with conferdence. "ah are you kidding their 5 masters and one me" "But you will have that no one else has" Shifu said as Po made a confused face.

After i helped Tigeress up we walked inside the palace where he dragon scroll was being kept. finnaly the time had come as i stood with the furious five. "you really belive am ready" Po spoke looking at Shifu. "you are Po" Po smiled as name was now used by Shifu. I smiled after hearing the word panda from Shifu for a long time almost at times made me want to call Po panda. Shifu walked up to master Oogway stick that was placed under his portrait and picked it up. He then walked near the small pond and began to spin the stick and began blowing the blossom leaves around intill they flew towards the scroll.

One petal landed on the scroll causing to lose it balance as it fell towards the pond but Shifu caught the scroll with the edge of Oogway stick and took the dragon scroll in his hands and turned to Po. "Behold the dragon scroll it is yours" Po was exicted perparing to take it. "Wait what happens if i read it?" Po asked "No one knows but legends says that you be able to hear a butterflys wingbeat" Shifu answered. "Whao really thats cool"

As shifu told legends and Po started to punch air i took a look at Tigeress. She was holding her chest with one arm watching Po and Shifu. As i watched her I felt anger, maybe it was because i wasn't by her side to fight with her or just mad at Tai long himself. I didn't know what I felt but part of me wanted to fight Tai Long. I was then pulled out of my thoughts as Po made a huge whoa sound as he took the scroll in his hands and began to open it but stuggled to do so. I once again found myself holding back my laughter.

After Shifu helped Po opened the scroll Po perpared himself, "ok here goes" Po closed his eyes and opened his right eye to take a peek at the scroll. all of us watched waiting for the scroll to be reveled to Po. Po began screaming as the five was shocked on what was happening as for me knew it was blank so i just stood where i was not reacting. "its blank" Po spoke, "What?" Shifu said. "look" "No i am forbidden to look upon" Shifu stopped himself and took the scroll off from Po and looked at it. "blank..but i don't...but i don't understand" "Ok so Oogway was just a crazy turtle after all" Po said "No master Oogway was wiser then us all" Shifu said as he turned towards the pond. "Oh come on face it he picked me by accident...of crouse am not the dragon warrior who am i kidding" Po sat on the ground as i watched Shifu.

"But who will stop Tai Long" Tigeress surpised me as my mind was again about to wonder. "he destory everything and everyone" Crane said. "No evacuate the vally you must protect the villagers from Tai Longs rage". "But what about you master" Tigeress asked as i knew the answer. "I will fight him" "what" Po spoke finnaly out of his dark mood. "I can hold him long enough for everyone to escape" "but Shifu he kill you" "then i would finnaly paid for my mistake" My heart was crushed at that moment, not too long ago i was enjoying his company and enjoyed learning kung fu from Shifu even it was for a little while. "listen all of you it is time for you to contuine your journey without me...am very proud to be your master" Everyone bowed even me but in my mind i wanted to yell out and say no to Shifu but i know deep down that Shifu was right even i dsiliked the outcome. I even know what was going to happen next but the three days i spend with them had been gold to me.

As Crane helped led Po out i walked with Tigeress but for the first time i wanted to go back and say something but as i turned Crane shooked his head at me telling me not to go back. I obayed and walked outside intill i reached the stairs. I looked up just to see Tigeress give orders to her friends, as i watched i felt a hand touch my shoulders and i turn to see Po. "Sorry Sripes...i ruined your chance to learn kung fu" "No you didn't Po...we just didn't see this out come and i don't blame you at all...i just wish i done more somehow" Po smiled at me as he walked past me, as he did i noticed that he carried the dragon scroll on him. Soon i know his battle will start soon, so it was time for me to act. the first thing i did was help the villages pack things on their cart and get them moving as fast as they can, then i helped kids reunite with thier parents and lastly i helped the old goats by moving thier carts for them intill thier sons or daughters came back to help them.

As i now headed towards the village gate i noticed Tigeress helping the last of the villages escape as she carried the young rabbit in her arms, i walked up beside her as she notice me coming. "Stripes thank you for helping and am sorry that you come all this way for nothing" Tigeress said in her usually tone but like before i can feel her pain for master Shifu. "it wasn't all nothing am gald that i had a chance to meet you". Tigeress began to walk as i walked beside her up the vally. "So what will you do now Stripes..will you seek out another kung fu master or journey back home". that caught me by surpise she was intersted on what i did next so i thought about it a bit and answered. "well your a master Tigeress maybe you can teach me kung fu" Tigeress looked at me "Am afrid i can't teach you much am not good at teaching others as i still have things to learn myself". "oh" was the only thing i said.

"Besides i want to chase after Tai Long after i find a safe place for the villages". Tigeress said in her anger or maybe her pride at that point i didn't know what. "So you going to avange Shifu" Tigeress nodded. "Then let me help you" Tigeress was shocked at first but caught herself back "No I can't he kill you and besides you have the least training in kung fu then us all" Tigeress said coldly but her words were true but i wasn't going to let that go. "Then you and the other furiours four to teach me i promise i work hard like i never worked hard before" I said pleeding for her to accept.

"That doesn't matter i don't want to see a friend get hurt" Tigeress said "Thats the same as me i don't want to see you get hurt either!" We both were at a stalemate nither of us would back down but then Tigeress sighed "Ok i will do my best to train you but if i catch you being lasy i will leave you behind" I was happy and i nodded in agrement "so are you two in love" the young rabbit spokes, I blushed heavily at the comment even Tigeress blushed "No..no we just friends" Tigeress repiled to the young one. I one thanked him for that as he gave me a nice view of Tigeress bushing.

"So while i was fighting what did you do?" Tigeress said not looking at me "I trained with Po and Shifu but Shifu trained Po more then me" "I see" Tigeress said. I could tell she wasn't very good at picking topics for conversations and maybe she was too busy worrying over Shifu or maybe trying to forget the love comment from the small rabbit. I wished i could tell her that Shifu was going to be alright but then i would have to explain how i knew. I doubt she would belive that i was human that fell in love with her she might even kill me if i ever told her that.

As we reached the top the sun began to rise and as then luck would have it that a golden wave that came from the village sweeped us all and passed. "what was that...was that" Tigeress said out loud "Tigeress!" shouted Viper as the rest of the furious four joined us. "have you and Stripes seen Po we can't find him" I knew the answer and i told them "I think he still at the village" Tigeress looked at me "that might be true i didn't see him pass the gate". "What now" Monkey said. "We go back and see" Crane repiled and so we did we all returned to the vally and the thick dust that blew covered most of our vision. but the villagers were cheering for someone up ahead, we all walked up and saw Po hugging his father as the frying pan that was on his head rolled to Mantis. Po looked up as the villaes stopped cheering and look at the furious five and myself.

"Hey guys" Po said as Tigeress walked up to him "Master" Tigeress said as she bowed followed the same thing from the furious four, myself and the villages. "Master...master Shifu" Po ran towards the stairs as Tigeress turned to us. "eveyone help the villages unpack or anything else they might need help at". We all nodded as wel splt up helping the villages but before i did i noticed the dragon scroll on the floor and picked it up and looked at my reflection. I smiled at myself in till Oogway face appered. "Master Oogway" "Alan or should i say Stripes" "Stripes is fine am getting used to the name now".

"I wanted to say thank you, i know there were times you get have changed the events that have passed now because of you Shifu survived". "What?" i said shocked "if you changed a small event Shifu would have passed on it was my mistake to take you back the story you already know" Oogway chuckled "So what did you indent" "I indented to sent you to its present time where no danger would come up but am not as young i used to be" Oogway chuckled again and i couldn't help chuckle anyway. "Its fine i promise i won't change anything that about to come up". "Good to hear but let me remind you that you still have a month and if Tigeress truly does love you then you are free to live here" Oogway said while smiling at me.

"Thank you again for this chance but to tell you the truth i only saw this movie the rest up ahead i won't know about" Oogway smiled "that good to hear too i guess...so the second kung fu panda wasn't relesed yet?" Oogway said and i was shocked "second flim?" i said still in shock. Oogway chuckled "hehe things for you are going to be intersting indeed hohoho" Thats the last thing Oogway said as his face dissapered and replaced with my own but i didn't care as I looked towards Tigeress as she helped the villgers. "I think i better perpare myself before the next threat comes and this time i fight with you Tigeress" I said to myself as i now started to help the villagers and what ever comes next i would do my best to be with Tigeress and fight off any villans that plan to hurt her.
