Chapter 10: The Tiger and the Panda
A.N- Hey I'm sorry about what I'm going to say, you see I got the finals at my school, and I really have to crack down and study...so besides this chapter I might not be able to post anymore until after this week. Anyways...I am really quite excited! Why you may ask? Because this story has gotten many hits from almost thirty different countries. Now all you people around the world who are reading this too let me tell you something...don't be afraid to review. I love having different inputs because I created this story for the people of fanfiction's enjoyment and if you ask me to think of something then I will consider it. (Here I go again with my rambles.) Please...Enjoy!
"Well, answer me panda...why are you here?" Tenizar said again as he stared at the three encircled figures.
Tigress leaned in close to Po once again and whispered to him.
"Better think of something fast...or this is going to be a rough ride," Tigress whispered.
"Don't remind me," Po whispered back.
"My patience is thinning..." Tenizar said as he softly growled.
"You know we've been talking too much about us...let's talk about you huh?" Po then said with a half hearted smile planted on his face.
Tigress smacked her face as she suddenly became angry with Po's arrogance.
"You know Po...if I were in my right mind right now, I'd slap every piece of the brain you don't have...into the week after next!" Tigress shouted suddenly.
"What...well I don't see you doing anything to help me out here!" Po shouted back.
"Oh really...whose the one whose been saving your sorry little tail on more than a regular basis!" she shouted again.
"You overlooked something there Master Tigress, whose the one who saved you from Lord Shen not more than a few months ago!"
Now Po and Tigress were standing toe to toe with each other looking at another in a dangerous sort of way.
"Ting hold on to this!" Tigress said as she handed the vase to Ting and then came back up to stare down Po in the face.
"You know something Po...this whole adventure would have been just fine if I didn't have to come with you!" Tigress shouted as she started to snarl.
Po then suddenly retreated with a sad and heart broken look on his face.
The vase then started to glow a bright red as if it sensed the anger in both of Tigress' and Po's hearts..
"Hey guys...this vase is giving off a weird glow!" Ting shouted as she held the glowing vase.
Tigress and Po turned to Ting and then their eyes were averted to the glowing vase which had now turned to a bright red.
The vase then cracked as causing Ting to jump, releasing the vase and sending it crashing to the floor. Though it didn't break upon impact.
"What just happened?" Po asked.
"The vase...it sensed the turmoil...and it broke, it's power is now not able to be used by the two of you, until you...hey look, there are words forming along the crack!" Ting said as she picked up the vase.
"Well what does it say?" Tigress asked.
"It says...' true love is the key, to break this curse, now take heed as you read this verse... for my power shall be revealed to those...who know the secret of the true rose.'" Ting read as she looked at the cracks in the vase.
"So I guess it means Tigress broke it right; well that's just great; I travel halfway across China to obtain a vase that's now broken!" Po screamed as he strained himself.
Tenizar's eye twitched as he looked on at the growing feud and then looked over to his men who appeared to be laughing at the situation.
"What do you mean I broke it; you have done as much damage as I have to that load of clay over there!" Tigress screamed as she pointed over to the vase.
Irritated, Tenizar started to let his anger fuel him until he exploded.
"SHUT...UP!" Tenizar screamed loudly as he clenched his fists and breathed heavily, but then suddenly gained his composure again.
Everybody stopped what they were doing and turned to face the tiger who was now pretty peeved.
"Now...I don't know why your here, but I do know this...YOU ARE GOING TO...DIE! Tenizar screamed as he pointed over to the three people.
"Ugh...great just what I need...more idiots!" Tigress said to herself as she assumed her normal fighting stance as the dark warriors closed in on them.
"This wouldn't have happened if you had just let me do what I needed to do!" Po said as he assumed his fighting stance too.
"Well I'm sorry, ignorance doesn't seem to run in my veins!" Tigress said as the first creature ponced at her. She blocked the first punch with her left hand and then sent her leg swiftly up into the air and then down on top of the creatures head.
The creature then seemed to have blended in with the darkness on the floor as he went down and around Tigress and then rose and struck her in the back sending her flying.
Tigress grabbed onto a nearby column and used it as a jumping point as she propelled herself from the column with her palms together and outstretched.
The creature then smiled as he disappeared causing Tigress' eyes to widen as she struck Po in the stomach.
Po recoiled as he grasped his stomach, gasping loudly.
"What was that for!" Po screamed.
"You deserved that one." Tigress said as she turned to a creature who suddenly started to attack her.
Ting held the vase within her paws as two creatures approached her.
"Stay back!" Ting said as she grasped the vase closer to herself.
"What are you going to do about it?" one of the creatures said as he suddenly pounced towards Ting.
Ting eyes narrowed and she growled as she threw the vase up into the air and then spun around with her leg extended knocking the creature aside, and readied herself as the next one came charging at her.
As the creature came within a few feet from her she then flip backwards knocking the creature up into the air. Ting the followed up as she landed and then pursued the monster by jumping up into the air and sending a kick to his face sending him crashing into a nearby column. Ting landed once again on the ground and held out her paw and the vase fell on it.
"Humph..." Ting grunted as she nodded her head in swift motion.
Po kept is end down by toying with the creatures and moving around involuntary to different places in a dancing sort of way.
"What...what are you going to do...you having trouble keeping up with this?" Po taunted as he danced around in his fighting stance.
The first creature twitch and then pounced at Po with some sort of talon like claws extended.
Po swiftly grabbed the fist that was aimed for his face and then he placed his other paw on the creatures mid section as he then proceeded to spin him around allowing the creature to serve as a shield as he blocked several blows with it. Po then released the creature into an oncoming mass of creatures sprawling them all over the place.
Po clenched his fist in triumph as he proceeded over to help Ting who was using her tail as leverage as she fought the oncoming enemies.
Tigress was having trouble fighting off her foe who seemed able to disappear into the shadows and then reappeared to attack.
Finally she was able to recognize the pattern he was going in and struck him in the face as he came about.
Soon Tigress, Po, and Ting were all lined up in fighting stances against Shan Tenizar who just stood smiling.
"Very good...I didn't expect you all to beat them...especially you daughter," Tenizar said as he pointed towards Ting.
"Enough Tenizar...we know of your plans to destroy the Jade Palace, and we're not going to let you do it!" Po said.
"Is that so...well, I can't wait to get started!" Tenizar said as he then jumped and spiraled , with his fists outwards and then struck Ting in her stomach sending her spiraling backwards into a column, knocking her out as she fell to the floor, with the vase rolling from her paws.
Tenizar laughed while he landed and then turned with his paws behind is back as he looked over towards Tigress and Po.
"Who's next?" Tenizar said.
"Tigress just a word of advice...I'm sorry," Po said as he looked over towards Tigress.
"You know that I can't stay mad at you Po," Tigress answered as a smile started to cross her face.
"You want to have first shot?" Po asked.
"Please!" Tigress said as she suddenly sprinted towards Tenizar.
"Come and get it!" Tenizar thought to himself as he slowly readied himself as Tigress came towards him.
Tigress jumped up into the air and screamed as she quickly went down with her paw extended into a fist.
Tenizar smiled as he quickly put his paws together in a triangle formation and extended them out to Tigress who was closing in quickly.
"FIST OF THE WIND!" Tenizar screamed and suddenly a huge shock wave of power blew from the triangle.
Tigress felt the enormous power that came in the form of a gust that suddenly blew her hardly onto the floor. She jumped up and ran towards him again.
"Your a stubborn one aren't you?" Tenizar said as he suddenly readied himself in a fighting stance and allowed a smile to cross his face.
Tigress spun her leg around and sent the kick towards Tenizar.
Tenizar quickly countered by using his finger and firmly struck a pressure point in her leg causing her to freeze where she was. He followed up by kicking her into the air and he flew into the air and followed up by using multiple punches to her stomach causing her to grunt in pain as he sent a kick to her lower back sending her straight up into the air.
Tigress suddenly felt her body again and readied herself as she fell down.
Tenizar intercepted her and he sent multiple kicks to her face in a quick repetition.
Tigress then retaliated by sending punches that were quickly blocked.
Tenizar quickly and finally retaliated by grabbing her punching arm and twisted it behind her and then he pushed up.
"I hope your ready for this, because this is going to hurt...a lot!" Tenizar laughed as the two of them slowly approached the ground.
Tigress closed her eyes, anticipating the impact with the ground.
Po was frozen with fear as he watched Tigress fall to the ground.
Then the two of them impacted the ground causing a cloud of dust to overshadow Po.
Tenizar flipped into the air and landed at the edge of the hole and started to laugh as the dust started to clear.
The dust disappeared around the hole reveling Tigress, who was crushed at the bottom.
Tenizar laughed as laughed as he walked away from the hole.
"Tigress!" Po screamed and ran over to the hole and then slid down the side of it. He picked up the body and turned it over revealing the blood covered face of Tigress. He then reached for her neck area to check for her pulse and found that it was beating.
"Your alive!" Po screamed as he hugged the immobilized tiger and then placed her slowly back onto the ground and then he proceeded to climb out of the hole.
"Well panda...are you feeling scared yet?" Tenizar said as he folded his arms across his chest.
"No...I'm far from scared!" Po said as he slid into his stance.
"Oh...so how do you plan on defeating me?" Tenizar asked
"Well for one...I'm going to make sure you pay for what you did to Tigress!" Po said as he scowled.
"Well she's only a minor as what I'm about to do." Tenizar said as he began to circle around Po.
"Yeah well...I'm going to stop you!" Po said.
"Why...I can give you power Po...I can give you the entire world, and all you have to do is betray your friends," Tenizar said.
"Why would I do that?" Po asked.
"Okay then let me rephrase this...people will worship you...you'll have unimaginable power and I can teach you that!" Tenizar said.
"I'd rather die first!" Po said confidently.
"Then die you shall!" Tenizar said as he jumped towards Po, tackling him to the ground.
Po sent his foot to Tenizar's backside sending him tumbling off of him.
Po regained his footing real quick and stood back into his fighting stance.
"You know your a good fighter Po...maybe I should show you what your missing out on," Tenizar said as he spread his arms out and looked up to the ceiling.
Light started to envelope Tenizar and then it suddenly disappeared revealing five other copies of him.
"You finally see the you have no chance?" All of the copies of Tenizar asked in unison.
"Your really starting to convince me," Po said.
One copy suddenly attacked and threw him into the next copy who gave him a fair beating and then sent him to the next and then the next and so on.
"You are fighting unfair Tenizar!" Po said as he was suddenly struck in the stomach by an oncoming blow.
"Of course I'm fighting fair...can't you see this is all me?" All of the Tenizar copies said again as they all gathered together and sent multiple kicks to Po.
Po managed to block some of the oncoming attacks but was out bested.
"It's time to end this!" the copies said once more as they sent kicks and punches at Po once more knocking him all over the place, until finally all of them rallied together and sent one kick at Po knocking him through the air.
All of the copies placed their palms together and formed a giant balls of fire.
"It's time for you to feel the burn panda!" Tenizar said as the copies merged into him once more and then he outstretched his palms sending the ball of fire straight towards Po.
Po looked up as he flew threw the air and then closed his eyes.
"That is not cool Tenizar...not cool!" Po said to himself as the ball of fire enveloped around him and then exploded sending him crashing back onto the giant map and then he fell face first onto the floor. The next thing Po could see before his vision went out was Tenizar approaching him.
Tenizar reached down for his neck and felt the pulse that still emitted from the burned panda.
"Your a tough one I'll give you that, usually people die when they come in contact with that...men!" Tenizar shouted causing all of the creatures on the ground to suddenly stand up unscathed.
"Yes Master Tenizar!" the creatures said as they bowed.
"Take these intruders to the holding cells, and then prepare to shove of towards the Jade Palace!" Tenizar ordered.
"Yes sir!" the creatures said as they grabbed the bodies of Tigress and Ting and carried them away.
"I deal with you when I get back panda," Tenizar turned and started to walk," and maybe Shifu will deem me the Dragon Warrior in attempt to gain my peace!" Tenizar started to laugh.
Po's vision then faded as the unconsciousness succumbed to him as he was carried away by the creatures.
