Chapter 25
Po's eyes flew open and he saw that he was back in the clearing, Tigress's paw still in his hand. He noticed Viper and Crane had faces plastered with worry and when he opened his eyes they both said. "Po, are you okay?" Po just stared at his friends and said. "Ye-yeah…I think so…" Viper sighed. "When you didn't answer us for so long we thought you went into shock." Po just shook his head. "No…not shock Viper…But something did happen to me just now…and… I think I know how to save Tigress…" Viper and the rest of the Five gasped and looked at each other. It was Monkey who asked. "What do you mean Po?" Po then spoke to them all but had his eyes on Tigress. "Master Oogway…he helped me…understand something…I want to explain but I'm running out of time… I have to save Tigress." The others were confused. Mantis asked " What do you mean Master Oogway helped you!? How is that even possible? He's kinda...not around anymore..." But Po ignored him as he laid Tigress's paw down and found his center.
Po immediately found his own Chi, well, what was left of it anyway, but this time he was searching for something else, something…warmer. And then he felt it. That same warm sensation he felt just moments before right in the deepest depths of his heart. And so he called out to it. Viper was watching intently and then she spoke with worry in her voice. "Po you can't use any more of your Chi! If you do, we could lose you along with Tigress!" But Po just smiled at her without opening his eyes as he allowed the warmth from within his heart to envelope him, making him feel truly at peace. "It's okay Viper…This is… something else…" And with that his friends gasped as Po's entire being began to glow a bright golden aura. It was truly remarkable. Everyone was silent as they watched Po glow. No one knew what to say. Po opened his eyes and admired his new glow. This was the power of the Heroes Chi. It was so bright, so warm, so full of…life. It was then Po knew what he had to do. So he placed his paws over Tigress and began transferring the Chi into her body just like he did with his normal Chi.
The experience was different than what he was expecting though. Before he could feel his normal Chi diving through muscle and skin, but this was completely different. Using the Heroes Chi as an extension of himself, Po began to dive through an empty void. To Po it was like swimming with your eyes closed, total darkness everywhere. Po scanned every inch of Tigress's being, searching for any spark of life that remained. Finally he found what he was looking for as a smile crept across his face. "There!" He said to himself. She had kept her word to him. She still clung to life for him. Deep within the depths of Tigress's heart Po could feel the last spark of life that refused to go out. Po quickly reached out with his Chi and began to feed the spark with its warmth.
Viper was watching Po's face intently as she saw his face grow into a slight smile as he said the word "There!" Viper's eyes widened with surprise as she could literally see Po's energy flowing into Tigress at an incredible speed, so fast that even Tigress began to glow with the same aura as Po. The remaining members of the five watched in awe as a seemingly endless supply of power flooded from Po, and into Tigress. Whatever Po was doing, it was costing a ton of Chi energy and Crane was beginning to worry. "You think he's gonna be okay?" Crane asked Mantis who was now sitting atop Monkeys shoulder. Mantis simply replied "Man, I sure hope so…" Viper could only watch on saying only in a light whisper "Be careful Po…" and with that the warriors watched on.
Po was beginning to get a bit winded. As he fed Tigress his life force it was like basically feeding a bottomless pit, funny, now he knew what his friends thought of him every time he ate. The spark never seemed to grow. And yet still Po continued, calling upon as much of the Chi as he could muster at once. He heard Viper ask in a concerned voice "Po?" as a sudden surge of power burst through Po's being and into Tigress as he heard his friends shout at him "PO!". Suddenly Po began to feel himself beginning to fall. But he never met the ground. No instead Po felt himself falling into a void towards the last spark of Tigress's own life force. Po closed his eyes as he continued to fall. Falling into the Darkness. His only thought…I'm coming, Tigress!
