The rain came down hard as Crane soared over the land. The rain made it hard for him to see as he flew, and he could hardly make out paw prints on the ground as they were being washed away. The others followed behind, trying their hardest to keep sight of him in the hard rain.

Crane's eyes landed on something. Up ahead was what looked like a cave. The paw prints stopped there, or what was left that he can see. He lifted a wing and used the other one to keep himself in the air. The others saw this and stopped.

Crane swooped back down and landed in front of them. "There's a cave up ahead, and the tracks stop there." Crane said.

"What if they just washed away?" Viper asked. Tigress looked down at her, then looked over at Crane.

"They lead straight into the cave," Crane responded. Tigress nodded.

"What stupid dholes," Monkey laughed, and Mantis joined in. Po couldn't help but agree, how could they not have bothered to choose a more secure route, or at least cover up their tracks?

"We'll sneak in and ambush them." Tigress stated. They all nodded and started advancing toward the cave.

Inside the cave, they could see a light. They must have lit a torch. The warriors could hear scuffling inside, and they hid behind some rocks, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack.

"Ugh, this is so stupid," Ezuoju hissed. It was loud, and they could hear voices inside the cave.

"Someone's outside!" A voice growled. Everyone glared at Ezuoju, who just rolled his eyes angrily.

"I'll go out and look," another voice said. A dhole walked out of the cave, shielding his eyes from the heavy rain. He looked both ways, sniffing the air. He could smell them, so he turned and headed in their direction.

Once he saw them, he opened his mouth to say something, but Monkey and Mantis attacked him and knocked him out. They dragged him away and secured him behind a rock.

A few minutes passed. "He's not back," a voice stated.

"Go look for him," someone else said.

"Now's our time." Tigress whispered.

That moment, just as a couple of dholes were on their way out, the Warriors leapt out from their hiding spot and attacked them. "It's an ambush! It's an ambush!" A dhole shrieked, turning and racing back inside. Mei Ling dropped to her four feet and ran after him, jumping up and wrapping her arms around him and knocking him to the ground. He squirmed underneath her, and she grabbed his nose and pulled him up, flipping him over above her head. He hit the ground behind her, groaning.

However, the dholes inside heard. The Warriors could hear them gathering their weapons and racing outside. They got into Kung Fu positions, poised to pounce.

"What am I supposed to do?" Ezuoju growled. Tigress turned and glared at him, her fire like eyes a smoldering flame.

"Fight the best you can," she ordered just as the pack of dholes came running out of the cave. Tigress looked back at them and jumped at them, kicking one in the face then spinning around and punching another one in the chest.

Ezuoju rolled his eyes but decided to fight to keep himself from getting in trouble with the group. Since his hands were bound, he could only fight with his feet and tail. He walked up to a dhole facing away from him. Ezuoju stepped on her tail and she howled, turning to look at him. He jumped up and thrust one foot out, kicking her in the face. She fell back, blood spurting from her nose.

Two dholes ran at Tigress with axes. One was faster and reached Tigress first, swinging his axe around at Tigress. He swung at her side and she jumped back, dodging it. He then swung at her head and she ducked, dropping to her hands and kicking out with one leg. Her leg hit him hard in the knees and the dhole fell backwards.

The other dhole swung his axe at her and she ducked, quickly jabbing him in the chest. He dropped his axe, groaning, and he decided to try hand to hand combat. He tried to punch her and she blocked it with her hand, punching him in the shoulder. He was too slow and was unable to block it, and he let out a scream as she dislocated his arm. He turned and ran the other way, and she ran after him, pouncing on him and punching him in the head, knocking him unconscious.

Viper slithered between two dholes, who swung their clubs at her. She dodged the blows then wrapped herself around one of their arms. The dhole desperately tried to pry her off, but she pulled the dhole's arm up and towards their face. The club hit them hard in the head and they fell to the ground, unconscious. Viper let go and the other dhole swung her club at her. She slapped their wrist and they let go of the club, dropping it. She wrapped herself around this dhole's legs, pulling and tripping her. Viper swung this dhole around, slapping them against the ground until they fell unconscious.

Monkey jumped at a dhole who was holding a battle hammer. He kicked the dhole hard in the chest, knocking him to the ground. The dhole dropped his battle hammer and then got back up, tightening his fists. Monkey did a flip and kicked him chin. The dhole flew into the air and hit the ground.

Another dhole ran at Monkey from behind, holding a club, and Monkey heard her coming. He whipped around and wrapped his tail around her wrist, pulling her down and jumping out of the way. She dropped her club and hit the ground, and Monkey jumped up and balled his fists, bringing them down on her head. He knocked her out.

Mantis zoomed around, tripping them as he ran. One dhole tried to stomp on him, but Mantis grabbed his foot and flipped him up and over his head, sending them crashing on the ground behind him. The dhole groaned, and Mantis flipped him over again. This time it knocked the dhole out.

Two other dholes ran at him and tried to hit him with their clubs, but Mantis was too fast and dodged them both. He climbed up a dhole and grabbed its shirt, using that to flip him over. Then he jumped at the second dhole and kicked her hard in the face. She stepped back and covered her nose, then he jumped up and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back and vomiting all over the ground. Mantis recoiled in disgust, then went back to fight more dholes.

"Crane!" Mei Ling called. Crane was flying in the air, but then when he noticed her calling to him, he flew down, doing spirals, spreading his wings out so they hit dholes as he flew by. He landed next to her, and she elbowed his shoulder. "Fight with me!" She said to him. He grinned at her, then they started to fight.

A couple dholes shot bow and arrows at Crane, but he blocked them with his wings. He then whipped around and grabbed one dhole's sword with his foot, pulling it out of his hand and spinning around so the blunt end of the said hit the dhole in the cheek. The dhole stumbled back and wiped his cheek, then looked at Crane and bared his teeth.

That moment, Mei Ling jumped forward and struck him in the nose. Blood spurred from his nose and he covered it, then swung at her with his other hand. She blocked it with her wrist and threw a punch at his chest. It hit him hard and he stumbled back, and then she did a roundhouse kick right to his bottom jaw, knocking him out.

Two other dholes ran at them with their weapons, and the two warriors nodded at each other and ran at them, kicking their legs out and hitting them in the stomachs. They stumbled back, groaning and holding their stomachs. Mei Ling did a skip and kicked one in the jaw, making them fly in the air. Crane blocked their blows with his wings them grabbed the dhole's hand with his foot, twisting it and flipping the dhole around, bringing him hard on the ground.

Two dholes shot arrows at Tigress with their bows, and Tigress blocked them with her wrists, hitting the blunt parts. They sent more at her, but she dropped to all fours and ran at them, dodging their arrows. When she reached them she ripped their bows from their hands and snapped them. They exchanged glances then tried to fight hand to hand, but she was obviously much more skilled. She did a flip and landed on one's shoulders, knocking them to the ground. The other dhole ran at her but she took the dhole from underneath her and swung him around, hitting the other dhole with this one. She let go of the dhole and it landed on the one she hit.

Two dholes with weapons charged at Po, and he punched one in the stomach, grabbing it and spinning around, letting go and hitting the other dhole with that one. One more, this one much larger than the others, ran at him with his large battle hammer. Po grinned and balled his fists, and the dhole growled and swung his club at Po. The Dragon Warrior dodged it and the dhole kept swinging his club. Po dodged it each time, then ripped the hammer from his hands and threw it aside. The dhole snarled and tried to punch Po. Po blocked it with his wrist, then delivered a punch to his chest. The dhole snapped his jaws and threw his arm up, but Po grabbed his wrist and swung his hip hard, hitting the dhole with it and sending him flying and hitting the ground.

Po ran up to the dhole, who seemed to be the leader. The dhole got to his feet, his legs shaking. "Retreat! Retreat!" He shouted. The other dhole's ears perked and they took off, all in different directions. Po pushed the lead dhole to the ground and kept his foot on him. The others ran over, gasping for air.

"So, you're the leader, huh?" Po asked. The dhole growled.

"Yes, I am!" He snarled.

"You're heading to join forces with the Wu Sisters, aren't you?" Tigress asked. The dhole bared his sharp teeth.

"You won't get me to talk!" He sneered.

"It's you against all of us," Po told him, gesturing to all his friends. The dhole looked them all over, then sighed heavily.

"Fine. Yes, we were going to join with the Wu Sisters." The dhole responded.

"Where are they located?" Po asked. When the dhole just responded with a growl, Po leaned more of his weight onto him, making him whimper in pain.

"Ugh, near the Tibetan border, in the mountains!" The dhole snapped. "I've told you enough, now let me go!"

Po looked at the others. Tigress glared at dhole. "We're not letting you go, you're going to jail," Tigress hissed. The dhole started to struggle under Po's weight, screaming curse words, but they held him down. Tigress looked at Crane and Mei Ling. "Take him to the nearest village and handcuff him. Make sure he doesn't get away."

"Yes Tigress," the two replied, walking over and grabbing the dhole. They took him away and he continued to scream, kicking his legs.

"Be glad that isn't you," Mantis said to Ezuoju. The crocodile just rolled his eyes angrily.

The rain came to a stop, but they were all drenched. The rain had washed away the blood and footprints of the escapees. The Warriors looked at each other, exhausted.

"Po, come with me and search the cave for more bandits. The rest of you, stay out here and make sure our prisoner doesn't get away." Tigress ordered. Po gave her a brisk nod and they walked inside the cave.

They looked around. Torches were still lit, but there were no dholes to be seen. Tigress sighed and beckoned the others inside. "We'll stay here for tonight," she said. The others nodded and began to make themselves comfortable in the cave. Crane and Mei Ling soon arrived, and Mantis explained to them the situation. They nodded and laid down.

"So, we'll head out at sunrise," Tigress ordered. Po let out an exhausted huff, and Tigress glared at him, to which nothing else came out of his mouth.

Po looked at Mantis. "Feel like keeping watch?" Po said. Mantis nodded and Po grinned.

"Alright, wake someone else up when you get too tired." Tigress demanded. Mantis nodded and headed outside in the rain. As he kept watch, the others quickly fell asleep. They were exhausted from the fight.
