Hey everyone! What's up? (The chapter starts a little ways down, but I urge you to read this message)

Just a quick message letting you know that I've updated my bio which now includes my top favorite authors and all of my major OCs I've put in so far along with some information about them, so I would urge you to check that out.

For anyone who's like, "Oh, your stories are so good! I can't believe how nice they are! You have so much potential!" I just wanted to let you guys know that I originally was just going to make one story and be done with it. This started out as a n idea in my head and once I got it out on the web I'd be done, but you guys kept me going and telling me I should do more, so I thank you for that. I especially want to thank those who favorite, followed, and reviewed my stories, wanting to know what happened next. I also wanted to thank the people who don't like my stories (you know who you are), because you kept challenging me to try and make the next chapter or next story even better, funnier, or more packed with action and twists.

I would urge anyone to make their own story. Anyone has potential to make something great. I'd bet 85% of the people who read my stories so far could create something even better if you put your mind and heart into it. Anyone who wants advice, a second opinion, or wants to use my characters in my story in one of theirs, just ask. I'd say yes 99% of the time, and I'm even doing a little collaboration with Animation Universe 2005. We're bouncing a few ideas off each other and eventually I think we could create something awesome.

Sorry for the long winded message, but I wanted to address these topics to you guys. I'll stop talking now. Here's the next chapter…

*With Tigress, the next day*

After the seer's body was disposed of, a new one was almost immediately brought in. After a couple hours of being there, the visionary had already received a message from her ancestors, wishing to speak with her.

Tigress entered the room and sat down in front of the new seer. The middle-aged goose threw his head back and Sato's voice took over.

"Hello again, Tigress. Nice to talk with you again."

"Sato, what did you want to tell me? Who murdered you?" She asked.

"I wish I could tell you, but I am strictly forbidden by my ancestors not to say who committed the crime. You have to find that out on your own. I came here to deliver a message to you directly, and I didn't want Jow to be around when you heard it." Sato replied.

"Alright. What's the warning?" The female tiger asked.

"A hero crushed and another's wings clipped is only the beginning of your trip…"

"Yeah, I've heard that part before. Tiger versus tiger and friend against friend, but love versus love is how it will end." Tigress cut in, rolling her eyes.

"No! That is NOT the message I've come to deliver! A hero crushed and another's wings clipped is only the beginning of your trip. Kill the innocent is the message Jow will send, and your death and destruction is how it will end." Sato finished, before a tremor went through the seer and Sato was gone.

*With Jow*

"Summon Tigress and ready the troops! Where is Zina? Bring her forth!" Jow ordered.

"What's going on, sir?" A soldier asked.

"Our time of attack is soon! Where is Zina?" The Emperor called.

"She's not here, Your Highness. Neither is Kiro and two guards say that a panda, bird, bug, lion, monkey, and snake escaped with Kiro. They must've rescued him and kidnapped Zina!" Another soldier reported.

Send scouts out within a mile radius! I want Zina found and brought back to us! Then, I want all forces ready to attack those escapees! They will NOT stand in my way!" The Emperor roared.

"Father, what is going on?" Tigress asked as she walked out of the seer's room.

"Tigress, I regret to inform you that we know who killed Sato. You won't like the news. The Emperor of China ordered you previous allies to attack and kill Sato as part of this trade war we're having." Jow replied sadly.

Tigress' face sunk. "My…friends?"

"Yes. It makes sense. They were ordered to kill all three of you, but they didn't have the heart to murder you and Kiro. Since they didn't know Sato very well, it was easy for them to kill him. Now, Kiro has joined their side and they have kidnapped your cousin, Zina. We must get her back and kill those murderers!" Jow explained.

The female tiger stood still for a couple of minutes, letting the information sink in.

Her friends betrayed her.

Her little brother abandoned her.

They killed her older brother.

The kidnapped her cousin.

She thought she had known them so well.

They wouldn't do this to her.

Couldn't.

But did.

Rage and vengeance flowed through Tigress' veins. "I'll murder them myself."

"Excellent. You and a team will go on a rescue mission for Zina. Once you have her, kill the traitors." Jow snarled.

"Yes, father." Tigress answered before storming off.

Yes! That seer and Sato are both wrong! I WILL succeed and China will belong to the tigers!

"Ready the warships! Load them with soldiers, weapons, ammunition, and supplies! Set sail for China immediately! OUR TIME IS NOW!

*With the Emperor of China*

"It has been eight days since the warriors had set sail for Japan. They still haven't returned and I fear that action will have to be taken. Prepare the soldiers! We begin our assault on the Jow Dynasty in two days!" The snake commanded, rubbing his chin with his tail.

*With Po and the others*

"Well, when are we gonna make our move on Jow? We only have two days left to defeat him, save Tigress, and return back to China before war breaks out!" Mantis stated.

"First, I think it's best that we scout out what we're up against so they don't hit us when we're not expecting it." Mei Ling replied.

"Yeah, then we can decide what our best approach will be." Crane added with Viper still hugging him. She hadn't let go since he returned to the group.

"When we get back to China, I need to get a new ring." Kiro murmured to Po.

"What was that, Kiro?" The lioness asked.

The white tiger's face reddened with embarrassment. "Heh, I was just telling Po that we gotta save Ti 'cause she's my sister!"

Po nodded in agreement while Crane rubbed his forehead with his wing in humiliation.

"Hey, does anyone else hear a bunch of marching?" Monkey asked.

"Yeah. Where's that coming from?" Viper asked, still wrapped around Crane.

They looked on the horizon in horror to see thousands of highly-trained Japanese killing-machine tigers marching over the grassy hills, heading for their camp. The sun hung in the sky behind the army, casting a shadow making it look even more massive.

The thing that shocked them all the most though, was the site of Tigress in combat gear with Sato's swords on her back leading the way.

"Oh dude, we're SO doomed." Kiro mumbled.
