Hey guys. Thanks for the review again. Here is chapter 12. Please REIVEW.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kung Fu Panda
(Jade Palace: Next day, Tigress POV):
The gong rang. Today was back to normal and more intense training for all of the warriors at the Jade Palace, even Master Shifu will be training with them since he will also be included in the battle. Po, Tigress, Lì and Yuan came out of the room at the moment the gong rang. Tigress had to force Po to wake up; otherwise he would still be sleeping. The rest of the five was also exiting from their rooms as they did.
"Morning master," the group said in unison.
"Morning students. Today we will be back on our regular schedule, but the training will be more intense and more extreme because of the upcoming battle. You may go to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Tigress when will you be sending Yuan and Lì to Mr. Pings?" Master Shifu asked.
"Po and I will be sending them after breakfast, if it is alright with you," Tigress responded.
"It is, everyone go ahead to the kitchen, I will be there shortly," Master Shifu said leaving the students brackets.
The eight went to the kitchen. Po made dumplings and some green tea as their drinks. The group devoured Po's cooking and the gang sighed in satisfaction after they ate.
"Well, I guess we better go drop Yuan and Lì off to my dad's shop," Po said.
"Aw, I wish you guys could stay," Viper said sadly.
"So do we," the cubs said in the same tone.
"We all do, but Yuan and Lì's safety is more important," Tigress said.
"Yeah I guess so, good bye Lì and Yuan, we will miss you," the rest of the five said.
"We will also miss you guys, good luck on the battle," Yuan and Lì said.
"Thanks, we are going to need it," Monkey said.
The four left the kitchen and went to tell Master Shifu they were leaving to drop off the children. He told them good bye and the cubs hugged him. The cubs wished him luck and left his room. The children got their bags with their belongings and then the family left the Jade Palace and walked down the stairs.
(Valley of Peace: Tigress POV):
They arrived at the Valley of Peace in a few minutes. When they arrived at the restaurant, it was packed. There was barley any place to walk. They saw Mr. Ping and asked to speak privately in the kitchen.
(In the kitchen: Tigress POV):
"Hello Mr. Ping, could we ask a favor?" Tigress asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Mr. Ping asked.
"Well, there is an upcoming battle. The person we have to fight is more powerful than Tai Lung or Shen. I would appreciate it if you could keep the cubs here starting from today until the end of this fracas. I don't want them anywhere near this madman. I don't even want them to see him," Tigress explained.
"Sure, I would love to keep them for that time! Oh what fun we are going to have! I can show them how to cook, oh I can also show them Po's baby picture. It is going to be so much fun!" Mr. Ping said excited. The cubs and Tigress chuckled a bit and Po groaned and hit his head against the wall in annoyance.
"Thank you Mr. Ping. Can we go ahead and say goodbye to them up in Po's room?" Tigress asked.
"Of course! You don't have to ask. Good luck in the battle," Mr. Ping said leaving the kitchen and getting back to work.
"Let's go upstairs and get you settled in," Po said.
(Po's room: Tigress POV):
They walked up the stairs which led to Po's room. After Yuan and Lì got settled in, the parents had to say goodbye.
"We are so sorry we have to leave, but there is no other choice, please understand," Tigress said.
"We understand," Yuan and Lì said.
"That's good, we will try to come back as much as we can," Po said trying to bring spirits up.
"Thank you, good bye Po," Yuan and Lì said hugging him.
"Goodbye," Po said.
"Bye Tigress, good luck," Yuan said.
"Goodbye Yuan," Tigress said. Yuan went over to Po to give him another hug and Lì came over to her. He gave her a hug.
"Goodbye mama, I love you," Lì said while hugging Tigress. Those three words that he just said made her feels something. She never heard anyone telling her that they loved her and hearing it from her son made her feel warm inside. And the one person who said it to her, she has to leave him behind.
"I love you too Lì, I always will," Tigress said hugging him back. Po and Tigress left the room wishing they didn't have to. "Aw, somebody has a soft side. Your say your hardcore, but you just a big, softy on the inside," Po said poking her stomach playfully. Tigress pushed Po down the stairs for his comment.
"Ouch- your- ow- are- ouch- hard-ugh-core-ouch," Po said while falling down the stairs.
"Good," Tigress said. Mr. Ping walked in and saw his son laying down the bottom of the stairs.
"What happened here?" Mr. Ping asked.
"Po fell down the stairs," Tigress said before Po could blame her.
"Oh Po, always so clumsy," Mr. Ping said chuckling.
"Yes he is," Tigress said slightly smirking at Po. Po groaned at the pain and humiliation.
Why does everybody like to humiliate me? Po thought.
(Jade Palace: Tigress' POV):
The two walked back up the Jade Palace to begin their training. They saw everybody on their course, except for Master Shifu who was observing. He noticed the panda with the feline and walked over towards them.
"Did Yuan and Lì settle in?" Master Shifu asked.
"Yes, they did. Only problem was Tigress pushing me down the stairs," Po said glaring at Tigress.
"Well you shouldn't have called me a big softy," Tigress said in defense.
"Well you are," Po said without realizing what he said. "No, wait, I- I didn't mean-," Po was trying to say, but he got cut off. Tigress side kicked him in his stomach.
"Oops," Tigress casually said.
"I accept your oops," Po said.
"Well now that's out of the way, we will begin the six on one combat. Who would like to go first?" Master Shifu asked the group.
"I don't mind," Tigress said.
"Alright, it will be us against you. We are ready when you are," Master Shifu said.
"Ready," Tigress said getting in her fighting stance.
The group surrounded Tigress ready in their combat stance. Tigress didn't give anyone a chance to attack first. She lunged at Monkey first. The rest of the group joined in attacking Tigress. Tigress saw Po coming at her and he was open. She grabbed his arm and used him to hit all the other masters by swinging him in the air which hit the others. All of the master flew back in the same direction except for Po who was flown across the room.
Master Shifu was first to get off the floor and threw lighting fast punches and kicks at Tigress. Tigress had blocked some of them and then kicked her master in the stomach. The rest finally decided to join. Viper had started to attack her arms and her back while Crane kicked her on her side. Tigress grabbed Vipers tail and wacked Crane away with her tail. She then threw Viper at Po who was coming full speed at her. The two fell backwards. Mantis was jumping around fast; if you blinked you missed him. He hit some of her nerves which caused her to groan and hold the part of her arm which he hit. Monkey used this advantage and kicked her behind her knees which made her fall on the floor.
"Come on Tigress, you got to put some more effort," Master Shifu said.
This made the feline filled with rage. She roared loudly and attacked all six masters at once. She threw countless kicks and punches. At this point, Po, Master Shifu, Crane and Viper were remaining. Crane had come in and tries to fly straight into her and hit her, but she moved out of the way kicked Master Shifu in the process. After a few minutes, Crane, Master Shifu and Viper were out. Now the only one that remains is the Dragon Warrior.
Since Po did not fight as hard in the beginning, it will be much easier on him since he is full of energy. But for Tigress, she is worn out and exhausted with fighting all masters at one time. She did not show her tiredness though because he would use that against her. Po used a jump side kick at the feline and a front kick as well. Tigress grabbed his foot and flipped him in the air making him land on his back.
He quickly got back up and punched her in the arms, stomach, and face. Tigress remembered a move she used on him before. Tigress' leg swept out in a wide, graceful art connecting with Po's ankles. Po was shocked and before he could block it or defend himself, he was flat on his back, out of breath. Tigress smirked and put her foot on his stomach, which made it harder for him to get back up.
"Remember this panda?" Tigress said flirtatiously without noticing the tone she used.
"How can I forget? Because right after that I beat your butt," Po said smirking and using the same tone.
"Well this time it is going to be different," Tigress said.
"Are you sure Tigress?" Po said.
"Oh, I am very sure," Tigress said determined.
What Tigress forgot was that his paws were free and open. He grabbed her foot and threw her backwards, sending her right towards the adversary which broke her fall. She got up and ran full speed at Po and punched him on the back which made him go through the training hall walls and out of the room. The reason of the effect was the amazing speed she was at. The others walked to the hole and looked outside looking for the Dragon Warrior. They looked towards the stairs and saw him bouncing. They shook their heads and sighed. Tigress smirked at her victory of defeating her opponent.
"Good work Tigress, we will begin our next round as soon as Po comes back up, so we have about a ten minute break. You can either train individually or you can take relax for the next few minutes," Master Shifu said.
The rest of the day went the same. Everybody had their turn on the one on six combat. Po and Tigress decided to check in on the cubs.
(Mr. Ping's: Tigress POV):
"You know that you didn't have to push me down the stairs to win," Po stated.
"Well it is more fun that way, plus you would be too tired from walking the stairs to actually fight me again," Tigress said grinning.
"Touché," Po replied.
The two walked down to the shop to see that Mr. Ping had just put the closed sign. The old goose was picking up the last two bowls that were left behind from the customers.
"Hey dad, could we check in on Yuan and Lì?" Po asked his dad while he gave him a hug.
"Sure my boy, just go upstairs, I think they are asleep," Mr. Ping said.
Mr. Ping was right, the cubs were sleeping.
(Po's room: Tigress POV)
"They look so innocent when they are sleeping," Tigress said quietly to Po.
"Everybody does," Po whispered back.
The two left the room and Tigress told Po something on the way out.
"For some odd reason, something doesn't seem right," Tigress said.
"What doesn't seem right?"
"I don't know, I feel we are going to get a big surprise from somebody quite soon though," Tigress said leaving with Po.
