Later that evening Tigress walked out of her room. She walked down the hall stopping outside Po's room. She opened the doors slowly. "Po? She said looking in his room seeing it empty. She walked off checking the kitchen, outside, and then the palace. She came to Shifu's room knocking. "Enter." Shifu said looking up from his work. Tigress walked in. "Sorry to disturb you master, but I wondering if you've seen Po?" She said. Shifu looked down lifting up the scroll. He put his hand out with the scroll on it for her to take it. For the first time, Tigress was afraid to read what was writing on the scroll. She took it timidly opening it up. Shifu stood up on his staff sensing her reluctance. He put his hand on her shoulder gently as she started to read it.

My dear Tigress,

I'm sorry I made you feel like I hated you and for whatever else I made you think. I never hated you, I could never hate you. Everything you said in the kitchen was wrong. I love you. I always have and I never stopped loving you.

I didn't tell you what I was keeping from you but I have to tell you now. Your brother, Bao-Zhi, he escaped from prison. I didn't know how to tell you and part of me didn't want to because I know how upset you'd have been. I wanted to tell you in person but I was afraid you were still so angry at me so I had to do it this way. By the time you read this I'll be with the others trying to keep your brother away from here. From you. Unfortunately he's with Temutai at the moment. So chances are I may not even come back. But I'll make sure the other four get back. I'm sorry. I really am.

You've been the best friend, girlfriend, wife, teammate, trainer, master, and enemy all at the same time. And I've loved every minute of it. I wouldn't change what we've been through for all the dumplings in the world. Of all the friends and family I'll miss, you'll be the one I miss the most.

Take care of our child and tell him/her everything about how dumb, clumsy, and stupid their father was….which probably isn't such a bad thing if they never meet me….I mean you guys told me often enough. But anyway, I love you Tigress and I'll never forget you. I'll be watching over you no matter what happens to me.

With love,

Po – The Awesomely Bodacious Dragon Warrior

Tigress dropped the scroll on the ground in shock, horror and disappointment. She fell to her knees crying. Shifu jumped down next to her holding her gently. "It's alright Tigress. Just let it all out." He said softly. "I never even said sorry to him." She whined. "The last thing I said to him was 'I hate you'. I never got to say sorry for that!" Tears streamed down her cheeks. Shifu rested his head on hers gently. "Tigress, things like this happen. We don't know that he won't come back." He said rubbing her back gently. They heard the doors to the Jade palace open and then close. "Shifu!" A familiar voice called out. Shifu walked out seeing Chao standing at the doors. "I'm sorry Master Chao. My warriors aren't here at the moment." Shifu said apologetically. Tigress was leaning against the wall still crying softly. Chao looked over at her before walking up. "What's wrong with her?" He asked. Shifu looked down. "Po left with the four to fight Tigress's brother and Temutai. She didn't get to apologize to him before he left for what she said in their argument. But she's also pregnant so her emotions are all over the place." Chao looked at Shifu. "Do I want to know who the father is?" he asked. "It's Po." Shifu said. Tigress whined curling up at the sound of her lover's name. "Well I am even more worried. I think Junjie was the one who let her brother out. They both just attacked the village before ours." He said. Shifu's face dropped. "Junjie? The five of them are in danger!" He said. "I'll try and warn them." Chao said. "You stay with Master Tigress." Shifu nodded as Chao left. Shifu held Tigress tightly. "I'll never see him again." She whimpered. Even Shifu was starting to doubt if any of them would return.

Meanwhile Po and the others had met up with Temutai and discovered that Bao wasn't the only one there. "Junjie?!" Crane said spotting him as he walked up. "Ah what a pleasant surprise." Junjie said smiling. "I wouldn't exactly say it's a pleasant surprise. More like a horror." Po said crossing his arms. Junjie smiled tapping Bao. "Finish them." He said. "Yes master." Bao said smirking as he got down on all fours. Po's eyes widened. "Master?!" Bao laughed lunging at him knocking him to the ground. He grabbed his wrist spinning him around and throwing him back into the other four. "This isn't going to go well." Monkey muttered as they got up. The five of them took their stance. "Bring it." Po said glaring at them as the three of them took their stance. "Po, maybe we should wait till we can get them alone?" Crane whispered. "I'm taking these fuckers down now. Especially him!" Po growled focusing his glare on Bao. "I look forward to it panda." He said smirking. "Then shut up and fight me." Po snapped. Bao ran for Po. Po punched him in the stomach. He grabbed his arm throwing him back to Monkey who punched him a few times before getting up on his tail and doing a spiral kick to his back sending him flying back to Po. Po grabbed him by the throat. "You should know I've been training harder." He said before throwing him away into Junjie. The five of them launched an attack on the three of them. Crane, Viper, and Mantis fought against Tamutai, Monkey fought Junjie and Po fought Bao.

Chao arrived half an hour later. They hadn't got very far but there were quite a few injuries on both parties. Monkey looked at Po. "We should go back. We can't fight any more." he said. "You go back then. I won't leave till I have them all back where they belong." Po growled taking his stance again. Chao walked up to him. "You four go back, I'll fight with Po." He said. Monkey nodded and they took off for the Jade Palace to recover. "Do you think he'll be okay?" Crane asked. "I don't know but he's gonna have it hard." Viper said. They got back to the palace to see Tigress curled up on the floor. Shifu was meditating when he heard them rush in. "You're okay!" he said smiling looking at them. "But where's Po?" he asked. "He wouldn't leave till he gets them where they belong. Master Chao is with him." Mantis said. Viper slithered over to her friend seeing the dried tears on her fur. "Oh Tigress. Po is doing this for you." She said softly. "I want him back! I want to say sorry! That I love him again!" she whimpered, eyes filling with tears again. Viper rested her head against hers closing her eyes. "It's okay Tigress." She whispered. "We'll be here for you." Tigress squeezed her eyes shut trying to keep back the tears. Come back to me Po. Please…I need you.
