A/N: Here's chapter 13! Enjoy! :D I don't own KFP or the Kaftar from Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011.
Chapter 13 - Solar Training
The SolarX is on its way to Enceladus, Jupiter, Tigress, and Tai Lung entered the training area and the tiger and leopard were amazed to see many obstacles and weapons in there as well.
"This is your training course. We Steroids take it once every 200 Earth years or so," Jupiter explained.
"Really? That long?" Tigress asked.
"Yes, and we know our stuff. The question is, do you? Now, I want you to do what ever you can to get to the edge of the course."
"That's it? We don't have a specific training?" Tai Lung asked confused.
"Your goal is to reach the end of this course in anyway you can," Jupiter explained, "We Steroids do whatever we can to ambush the enemy. Each gun has a supply of ammo, but they're limited. Get through the fire, the raging water, electric fences, and see if you can make it. Or, are you too afraid to go on this course?"
That made the two warriors angry, Tigress stepped up to Jupiter and said, "Look mister! We can handle this! And we WILL blow you away! You think you're so dang better than us, well, you got another thing coming!"
"Well, we shall see if you can beat my record," Jupiter said with a small glare.
"Yeah!" Tai Lung agreed, "Tigress, my sis, let's show this roundie who's boss!"
Jupiter just chuckled deviously, he didn't notice that Saturn, Mercury, Venus, and Mars were watching from above.
"We'll show that put-downer about us who we truly are. We went through the training with Vanessa. We can handle this!" Tigress said to Tai Lung.
"We'll do it together sis!" Tai Lung agreed.
"You won't be. You're going to be against each other," Jupiter said.
Tigress and Tai Lung looked at Jupiter with surprised looks and said "WHAT" out of shock. Jupiter told them to do it or not, it's now or never.
"Sorry sis," Tai Lung apologized.
"I guess we have to have one last fight together," Tigress replied.
Then Tai Lung and Tigress went up to the entrance to the training session, it looked a lot scarier up close with chains and spikes dangling from the ceiling. Then Jupiter tossed them suits that attached to them instantly and they were strong protective suits.
"As much as I want you gone, well, not dead, but you know what I mean. I can't have any casualties here on this training session," Jupiter explained.
"And what this about beating your record?" Tigress asked.
Jupiter laughed and said, "That? It'll take you twice as long as my record. But it's 4 minutes and 24 seconds, Earthling time anyway."
"Oh, we got that!" Tigress said confidentially.
"We shall see, confident one. Are you ready?" Jupiter asked.
"Let's do it."
Then a bunch of obstacles began moving and everything, they went out into the field while heading down their separate ways. The two warriors were determined to impress the Solar Team, they did it to the North American Furious Five, they just HAD to impress the Solar Team! The two warriors grabbed as much weapons as they could, the ones necessary though. Tigress was going the fastest with Tai Lung on her tail! He lunged for her but she dodged him and he ran into a wall. Then some replicas of enemies came out and began shooting at them! Tigress dodged the lasers like a pro and she shot them all down, not a single one missed! Tai Lung had to go through the same thing and he didn't miss one. Jupiter wasn't a bit impressed though, then Tigress made her way through a tight squeeze like no problem, as did Tai Lung.
Then FIRE came right at the warriors, they were horrified, but then Tigress made a move and she went through the fire with no injury sustained onto her! She and Tai Lung had to dodge many chains that were just going everywhere, Tigress almost got caught on one, but she shot it and no harm was done. Tigress got on all fours and then dodged the electricity bolts. Tai Lung slowed down for a moment before he shot from where the bolts were coming from.
Tai Lung scampered across the floor to catch up with Tigress, and when he did, they got into a sparring match. Tigress was so fueled with adrenaline that she kicked and punched Tai Lung to the ground! Tai Lung tried to use his nerve attack, but she blocked him from touching her and she knocked him onto the ground before moving on. Tigress came across the raging waters and the tides were extremely high.
She then kicked a part of the wall off and began to surf those tides! She didn't have control at first, but then she managed to get under control. She noticed a beam trying to knock her off, but she shot it and it went down! She then noticed Tai Lung had caught up with her and he went passed her. Tigress grew angry and then she noticed a beam coming for her again. She leapt up towards it, grabbed it and began to spin it around while holding onto it. Jupiter was wondering what she was doing, his question is answered when Tigress launched herself off the beam and onto another one that was far away from her.
"Why didn't I think of that?!" Jupiter said, angrily.
Tigress continued to move and Tai Lung saw what she was doing, to his and Jupiter's amazement she reached the land while Tai Lung was still on the water. Two minutes have passed and Jupiter's growing angry, Tigress was getting close to beating his record! Tigress noticed something else, and then she pulled the black necklace and it formed into her high tech suit!
She then began to swing like Spider-Man launching grapple hooks and doing all kinds of tricks. Then the ceiling began to drop, she couldn't do it for much longer. She then went back to the ground and began running on all fours, pulling her necklace and putting her back in her normal clothing. To her shock, Tai Lung once again caught up with her! He shouted to her that he won't beat him. Tigress punched him in the face and kicked his groin and he yelped in pain, holding it as he fell onto his knees. Then Tigress reached a larger area, she then saw Jupiter land in front of her and toss her a sword, a training sword not a real sword.
"To beat my record, you have to beat the record breaker!" Jupiter said in a serious tone.
"We shall see who'll win this battle!" Tigress challenged.
Jupiter nodded and then they began clashing with their swords. Jupiter had the upper hand, but Tigress gained herself back. Jupiter tried to kick her but she blocked it. The battle began to get intense as Jupiter began to get hardcore on her, Tigress told him that he's dealing with a hardcore fighter and he should be careful. Three minutes have passed, and Tigress is on fire!
She really is showing Jupiter who's boss! Tigress kicked Jupiter and punched him, with him to return the favor. He knocked her off balance, but then Tigress knocked Jupiter off his feet and moved before he could do anything else. Jupiter stood up and began to brawl with Tigress viciously. They were pressing their swords against each other's and Jupiter shouted, "You shall not win this!"
"You're just too cocky!" Tigress pointed out.
Then Tigress leapt into action, catching Jupiter off guard, and then she poked Jupiter with the sword, knocked his sword out of his hand and WHACKED his face, knocking him to the ground! The others who were watching were shocked of how amazing Tigress fought Jupiter, then, she ran up and claimed her flag holding it high in the air in victory. Tigress' time is 3 minutes and 42 seconds! Jupiter pounded his fist on the ground in frustration and anger, Tai Lung grabbed his flag, and he too defeated Jupiter, just ten seconds after Tigress' record. Saturn, Mars, Mercury, and Venus came into the training room, cheering for Tigress and Tai Lung.
"That was incredible!" Saturn cheered.
"I've never seen such an incredible performance!" Venus said happily.
"I can agree on that!" shouted Mars.
"Well, thank you," Tigress said with a smile, "We were just doing what Jupiter said, do anything you can to get through this course."
"And to us, this was like any other course, just on an advanced scale," Tai Lung said with a smile.
"Well, this is a true mark in the Solar System history. Mother Sun's gonna be so proud of you," Mercury said with a smile.
"And we thought you couldn't beat Jupiter! I'm so universally impressed!" Saturn cheered.
"Aren't you impressed, Jupiter?" Mars asked Jupiter.
Jupiter just stood up with a glare on his face, he looked at the warriors and said sourly, "You ruined my perfect performance, I was better. I cannot live with this."
"Jupiter! You need to let this nonsense go! Be happy for them!" Saturn said with a glare.
"They might have a performance, but they're still Earthlings, and Earthlings aren't good enough to fight in space," Jupiter replied, sourly.
"You need to lighten up, Jupiter," Mercury said, shaking his head.
"I need to go to my station. What a waste of time this was," Jupiter groaned.
Jupiter just left the room in frustration, he just is too prideful and jealous.
Mars turned to Tigress and said, "Sorry for Jupiter's attitude. He just doesn't like it when people are better than he is."
"We were just doing our normal kung fu training," Tigress replied.
"Looks like you were the determined one," Tai Lung pointed out.
"Well, I must say that I'm universally impressed. You two can handle fighting in outer space," said Saturn, putting her hands on the tiger and snow leopard.
"But can your panda friend and your cougar friend?" Mercury asked.
"I wouldn't doubt them," Tai Lung said with a smile, "They're cool fighters. No, awesome fighters."
They all chuckled and agreed with Tai Lung, then Saturn said, "Let's head up to the kitchen and get you some Earthling snacks."
"I could go for a snack," Tigress said with a smile.
"Me too," said Tai Lung.
Then they all went to go get a snack for the Earthlings.
Meanwhile, millions of miles away, onboard the SolarIX, in the training area, Uranus, Earth, Pluto, and Neptune are watching in awe as Po and Vanessa train on their equipment. They were doing great just like Tai Lung and Tigress did, the board even updated who has the best record, not Jupiter anymore, but Tigress. When Po was done training, he looked up at the board with a big smile on his face.
"Tigress beat Jupiter's record! She beat his record!" Po said proudly.
"Really?!" Vanessa asked, shocked.
"BING! I cannot believe that! WEEEE HOOO! Tigress rules! Hey…when can I catch her by her toe?" Neptune asked with a smile.
"Oh, Neptune, such a nutcase," Uranus said, rolling his eyes.
Pluto approached the panda and cougar and said, "I must say, Po and Vanessa, you two did well yourselves. We're impressed."
"Hey, we're awesome kung fu warriors! We can do anything! Except climbing stairs well and counting to one million," Po said.
"Po, that's you, not us," Vanessa pointed out.
"Oh, right. Sorry about that."
"Okay, enough idle chitchat, we should get down to business Vanessa," said Uranus.
"What? Get going with what?" Vanessa asked, confused.
Then Earth tossed them each a sword, Vanessa then realized what was going on.
"You said you had sword skills, and I'm the best swordsman in the Solar Team. We're gonna fight until we knock the sword out of someone's hand," Uranus explained.
"Let's go for it, Uranus," Vanessa said in a competing tone.
"BING! Let's get this party started!" Neptune cheered.
Then Po and the others got off the battlefield except Vanessa and Uranus who were ready for battle. Neptune hit the bell, with his whole body, and then the two figures began clashing with each other like crazy! Uranus tested out Vanessa's footing and she passed, they continued to clash with each other like nonsense, and then Uranus pulled off a sneaky move that made Vanessa almost drop her sword. Vanessa firmly gripped the sword and fought Uranus like nonsense, and by "nonsense", I mean running side-by-side by each other and doing flips off the walls while clashing with each other. Uranus punched Vanessa, but she recovered and poked Uranus with her sword. They did a few more clashes before Vanessa grabbed Uranus' arm and kicked him across the arena.
"Not bad cougar, but now it's my turn!" Uranus said with an evil smile.
Uranus lunged for her and they began clashing, before Uranus could do his move, Vanessa literally pulled his leg and knocked him to the ground. Vanessa clashed with him even while he was on the ground. Vanessa jumped before Uranus could knock her off her feet. Uranus got up and they began clashing with those swords as if they really meant it. Vanessa was leaking with sweat, and then she launched one of her grapple hooks, catching Uranus on the leg again. Vanessa kicked him and dodged him like a pro. Uranus was impressed by Vanessa's act, and he just about had everything he could do to stand up to her. Then Vanessa made a smart move, kicked Uranus again and then knocked his sword out of his hand! Uranus looked at Vanessa with wide eyes and a shocked expression.
"DING! DING! DING! Vanessa the cougar wins!" Neptune cheered.
"Yes…yes she did…" Uranus said, shocked.
"Who's a better sword fighter now?" Vanessa asked, slightly teasing.
"Please, don't rub it in," Uranus said with a smirk.
Earth came over and she typed on her computer that she was universally impressed with their efforts.
"Vanessa, that was AWESOME!" Po shouted as he pumped both fists into the air.
"Thank you, Po," Vanessa replied with a smile.
"But I don't think Jupiter's too happy Tigress beat his record with Tai Lung in second place," said Pluto.
"Yeah, that is an issue," Uranus agreed.
"How about some cheesecake, some sardines and some tortellini to celebrate, eh?!" Neptune asked with a smile.
"I'll take the cheesecake," Po said with a smile.
"BING! I'll go get it!" Neptune cheered.
Then Neptune began running, but then he tripped, got back up and began running again.
"I think I'm starting to like that guy," Po said with a smile.
Neptune came back out and shouted, "I LIKE YOU TOO, PANDA!" Then he went back through the door with Po a bit cringed.
"I…I said that too soon didn't I?" he said.
"Let's just go celebrate, we'll be at Mars soon, in about 20 Earth minutes," Uranus said.
They all went to go celebrate for the Earthlings' victory.
Meanwhile, back on the main deck of the SolarX, the planet Saturn is outside the main window; some Steroids are looking at it, as they got closer to it. Tigress and Tai Lung came out with some members of the Solar Team and they were amazed to see the planet Saturn out there.
"Wow, that's a beauty," Tigress said with awe.
"Oh, thank you!" Saturn giggled.
Tigress chuckled at that response as Tai Lung went up to the main window to check it out. Then he noticed an orange dot.
"What's that orange dot to the right?" Tai Lung asked Sedna.
Sedna looked up and said, "That's the second largest moon in the Solar System, Titan. It's even bigger than the planet Mercury."
Tai Lung was surprised to hear that, and then Mercury said, "Three minutes until landing." Then Mother Sun came onto a screen and said, "Hello all."
"Hi, Mother Sun," everyone said in unison.
"I know I can't talk long, but I just wanted to congratulate Tigress and Tai Lung for performing such an amazing universal performance. We saw the whole thing at the Solar Base play out live," Mother Sun explained.
"I didn't know that we were being monitored," Tigress said, dumbfounded.
"It is an interesting event to see Earthlings perform so well," Mother Sun said with a smile.
"Well, you probably know Jupiter's not too happy about it," said Saturn.
"I just can't stand that he's like that. It's this stupid War that's going on that's got him like that."
"Yeah, he should lighten up," agreed Tai Lung.
"Well, I gotta go because you're about to be in a bad reception area," said Mother Sun.
"Bye Mother Sun," everyone said in unison.
Then Mother Sun went off the screen, Jupiter came in and said, "Landing in t-minus two minutes."
"Let's get ready for landing," said Mars.
In the distance, they saw a white moon that they were getting closer and closer to. But they didn't know that Jupiter was clenching a heart necklace close to his chest, he had a small tear come out of his eye as well.
"I'm gonna deliver a punch when I see you again, Tigress," the Kaftar said through Tigress' mind.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Tigress muttered so no one else could hear her.
"You cannot escape, you worthless tiger."
Tigress wanted to shout something but she kept it to herself, she knew she had to focus on their efforts right here and now.
A/N: Well, they surely showed Jupiter didn't they? Well, I hope you enjoyed cuz we're gonna get to the good stuff soon! :D
