My fav writer on the site updated after a 5 month hiatus, so in honor of her, im updating today. Honestly, I wasn't planning on updating until next week. And people, please write good stories. I'm getting kind of tired of going on the site and not seeing anything worth really reading. I'm actually re-reading a lot of stories, hoping greatness will come again. When you write a romance story, such as Po and Tigress, don't force the romance in the very beginning of the story. This is about to be a long chapter, and I plan on increasing my chapter lengths dramatically.

"The strength of the heart?" Po asked while reading the kata* on the scroll. It had several easy movements. However, that wasn't the strange part. The master in the illustration wasn't Oogway, it was a-

"Dragon. Whoa."

Crane had looked onto the scroll, curios to what Po was talking about. But, when Crane looked on, the scroll was blank.

"Po, are you sure you're alright?"

"Whaddya mean."

"There's nothing there."

"Yeah, there is. Don't you see that dragon guy doing-"

"Po, there is no point in trying to explain it. Only a select few are able to see the scroll. It has the stance the first Dragon Warrior took when attaining the strength of the heart. Oogway created the technique during the battle of-"

The red mountain. Oogway was surrounded, but he didn't back down, he was like kyah-"

"Po."

"And then they were like "No Oogway's so awesome" and then-"

"PO!"

"What?"

Master Shifu rubbed his temples and mumbled "Focus, panda, focus."

"Ok, I'm ready. Focused, not distracted, totally on subjec-TIGRESS!"

Tigress had walked into the jail. Her claws were blood stained, meaning that she did something Po was scared of.

"I see you took care of security." Po meant to say it as a joke, but it came out as a cry of help. Being in the same room with her made him feel scared, like something had changed her. She was stiff, and seemed emotionally drained. Her eyes were no longer passionate and lively, but they were dark.

Almost evil looking.

"Tigress, I see you returned-"

"Shifu, who were masters Ren and Luna?"

Shifu was shocked that Tigress cut him off, and addressed him as Shifu. She was starting to show her anger. No matter how many times she sheathed her claws, they just came back out, inferring that she was angry.

"Watch how you address me Tigres-"

"WHO WERE THEY!"

She was shouting now, which alerted the rest of the guards in the prison. There were about twenty or so, and they were all armed."

I'm warning you brutes now. I will have no guilty conscience killing each and every one of you."

The guards took this as a challenge, and they charged the four. Po and Crane were about to attack, but Tigress stood in front of them. She jumped into the middle of the charge and started killing them all in such a way that Po nearly puked. She was ripping limbs, biting out throats, and breakingwhatever she could get her hands on. Po stepped in and stopped her before she decided to start eating them. Of course she wouldn't, but she might as well have.

"C'mon! STOP!" Po yelled at her, causing her to shove him off of her. She continued the brutality, and Po finally got her to stop. But, after Po pulled her off the remains, she swiped a claw at his chest and growled. She gave Po two long marks going down his chest, and after Po looked at her in disbelief, she growled a low, evil growl.

"What did Jiong tell you child." Shifu asked, seemingly not fazed by Tigress's assault and omnicide.

"Everything."

Shifu sighed, knowing that there was no avoiding this. Tigress was losing all self-control, and it was his fault.

"Masters Ren and Luna were old friends of mine, and your parents."

"And how does lord Jiong know you?"

"He was a fellow student of Oogway and neighbor."

"And why did YOU BRING US OUT HERE JUST TO DIE?"

Finding no answer, Shifu lowered his head and sighed. Po was staring at them both, not wanting to break the silence and get killed. But, knowing Po, he had to.

"So, Lord Jiong is basically a well strained mass murderer who plans on what?"

Tigress never took her eyes off Shifu. Her eyes seemed to burn in anger, and her body was radiating frustration. Tigress stopped her stare down with Shifu and looked at Po.

"He intends on fighting you, one on one, and de-throne the emperor. Thus, taking over China." She said it in a angered tone, before taking one last look at Shifu and walking away.

"Just when you think he wasn't cliché."

Tigress had been dripping blood from her claws from the guards and Po's scratch she gave him. She wanted to kill Jiong, but she knew she couldn't, which made her more furious.

"Shifu…. I would kill you if I wasn't in debt to you."

Learning of how she was orphaned by the man who did it was scarring itself, but to know that the man who adopted you knew your parents and kept their legacy a secret was even worse.

1 hour ago, Mountain village main city. Near rice shop:

"You did it?"

"Yes indeed, and I enjoyed it. They were stuck up snobs anyway, you were better of an orphan."

Tigress eyes widened in shock hearing the words of lord Jiong. He was talking about the subject as if they were talking about food. Tigress didn't know whether to cry or yell in rage. She was leaning back on her paws, as if she got pushed over. Lord Jiong was sitting cross legged, amused of Tigress's reaction.

"Their names were Ren and Luna. You look more like your mother. Especially when making that face of shock and terror. She was the easiest to kill out of the two. Ahh, I remember her fighting at her best to defeat me, right before I stuck my claws through her chest."

Tigress felt tears swell up in her eyes, but refused to let them go. She didn['t want to show anymore weakness, but he couldn't hold on any longer. The burning, salty water dripped from her eyes uncontrollably as lord Jiong continued to describe the murder of her parents.

"Your father, Ren, was a strong ma, proud and confident. He almost killed me, but the sight of his dead wife made him weak, so I tore him apart. Not literally though, I just left a gaping hole in his abdomen."

Tigress wanted to puke. She couldn't handle the thought of her parents being brutally murdered by the man in front of her.

"Stop…" She begged him to stop his story, but on he continued.

"Shifu came in as I left, saying that he will one day avenge them both. I swear I heard him crying, and it felt…. Good. Oh, I also passed by thhe room they had made for you. It was red and pink, with flowers all around your bed. Have you ever smelt blood and lotus at the same time? It's amazing."

Tigress had no thoughts then. Not caring if she lived or died, she sprinted toward him, going for his throat. However, as soon as she attacked him, he dissipated into black smoke, then reappeared behind her. She almost tripped, but regained her composure and turned to face him.

"You must be wondering how I am able to do this technique. Or, you're wondering how I am so close to you, but I am supposed to be in the Golden City?"

Tigress let out a growl and charged again, only to have the same results as last time.

"I am a clone. There are many of many located amongst the towns you will encounter among your journey. We have 1/50 of the power Lord Jiong has."

"How….. many people do you have on your side Jiong?"

"Ten thousand and counting." With that, the clone dissipated into the passing wind, leaving no trace of his presence."

She thought back on the memory while destroying the forest outside of the town. She was kicking, clawing, and breaking anything that separated her from, well, everything. Her blood stained clothing was being washed by the sudden downpour that came upon the village.

"I gotta find her."

"No, let her cool off."

"She's not going to, that's why I have to find her before she hurts herself or someone else."

Viper was trying to talk Po out of searching for Tigress, but he wouldn't listen.

"Master Shifu, may I-"

"Go." Shifu seemed really determined to get Tigress back. He was out of it for a sec, but regained his "sensei-ness."

Po nodded back to him and ran off into the rain, not sure whether he was going to find her or not.
