Losing everything

Beaten and bloodied Dai stood on top of a cliff the sun had just started rising and it was so peaceful compared to only a few hours ago. He, Tigress, Arizona and Max had been ambushed while leaving Gongmen City.

Dai growled as he heard Tigress yell.

"Dai get out of here!" Tigress yelled cutting down an enemy soldier with her Katana.

Dai could hear the sounds of the battle in his head.

"I'm not leaving you!" Dai said. Hitting a soldier with his staffs. "You have to go." Tigress said slicing another soldier with her Katana

Dai could hear the sadness in her voice. She knew the price they'd all have to pay if he stayed.

"I won't leave you!" Dai said. He looked up and saw archers on the ridge above them. They were backed the Cliffside there was nowhere to run.

"Archers take aim!"

"Go!" Tigress yelled. "Please." She said. "I can't watch my friend be killed."

Dai growled and turned to Tigress

"I'll come back for you, I promise." Dai said and kissed Tigress then ran off into the night.

Dai ran and ran until he reached the cliff he was at right now. He looked down at his bloodied staffs. He'd lost everything his friends were all dead because of him. Max, Tigress and Arizona were all dead tears running down his face Dai let out a loud roar as lightening flashed across the sky and collapsed to the ground weeping as it started to rain. Dai heard a noise behind him and turned around to see the same soldiers who ambushed them. Dai noticed that one of them had the Katana he'd given Tigress a few days ago. Dai growled rage filling him he sparked his staffs and roared charging at the soldiers, he'd lost everything he cared about and didn't care what happened to him anymore.

Dai beat the soldiers down until they were all dead and he stood in a circle of dead bodies holding his staffs their glow giving everything an eerie blue glow. Dai stood there for a few moments then ran off taking Tigress's Katana with him. "What was he going to do now?" "Go back to the valley? He was already a failure. He'd failed as the Dragon Warrior and as Tigress's mate and especially as a brother to Max.

"The Universe must hate me." Dai said to himself sitting under a tree and falling asleep. "Get up Dragon Warrior!" Dai woke up suddenly to a shout and saw a black and white tiger crouching next to him. It took a second for Dai to recognize him as Yang. "Yang?" Dai asked. "Welcome back Dragon Warrior." Yang said. "What are you doing here?" Dai asked. "Where's your sister?" "I'll worry about her." Yang said. "Right now you need to help your friends." "My friends are dead." Dai said. "No, they're not." Yang said.

They've been captured and taken to a fortress on Mt. Zhumulangma. (Chinese name for Mt. Everest) "What about my dad?" "Is he there too?" Dai asked. "No, he's being held at the capitol." Yang said. "That's all the way on the other side of China!" Dai exclaimed. "I'll get your Father." Yang said. "You just rescue your friends." "Why are you helping me?" Dai asked. "They have my sister too." Yang answered.

Dai was about to asked if Yang wanted help but he ran off. Dai stood up and slung Tigress's katana over his back and headed in the direction of Mt. Zhumulangma he knew it was on the border with Nepal and traveled several days before the Mountain came into view he paused briefly in a village and bought a white Ninja outfit to help him blend in with the snow he also picked up a rope and a pair of climbing claws.

Dai traveled another two days before he reached the base of the Mountain the first part of the climb was easy but an hour later it started getting more challenging. For one the temperature went down quickly and Dai started to shiver slightly but kept climbing a little cold weather wasn't going to stop from rescuing his friends.
