Welcome back guys to another chapter, and before I get started, I just want to give 2 small disclaimers. First one is that I obviously don't own Kung Fu Panda. The 2nd is that I didn't make up the villains' powers, I drew inspiration from Martin Li, from the Spider-Man comics, and the demon mask is a reference to the game, in which he has henchman with demon masks. Now with that out of the way, let's get right into the new chapter. (Also this chapter will be one of my T rated ones but ok.)

They continued to watch the stars for the next hour, until Tigress fell asleep. Po thought this was cute and he carried her into her tent, placed her onto her bed, and said "Good Night Tigress." Tigress heard all this, and she had a small smile on her face. He left the tent and went back to his own to get some sleep.

Tigress was currently having the best dream of her life. She and Po were confessing to each other and then out of nowhere it turned out to be the worst dream of her life.

Tigress' Dreamscape

"Po there is something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

'What is it?"

"I love you so much and when I thought you almost died, I felt like a part of me had died too."

"Well guess what. I love you too."

"Really? I thought you would never love me."

"But you're the most beautiful woman I know."

They were leaning in for a kiss when suddenly Po was stabbed by a blade from behind that had balck energy running off it. "Aghhh!" Po screamed. He collapsed to the ground into a puddle of blood. Tigress looked in horror and yelled "Show yourself you coward!" Then she heard slow laughing and then she was surrounded by darkness. Tigress had no idea what was going on but then she saw a sword with black energy coming off it. Out stepped a figure donning a long black overcoat, and the demonic mask. She was approaching Tigress menacingly. Tigress looked to her side and was horrified at what she saw. The 5 were slumped over each other either already dead or close to death.

The figure was approaching her, and Tigress blurted out "The Dragon Warrior is going to come for you. He's going to come here and defeat you."

The figure scoffed and said, "Who him?" while pointing off to the side. Then Tigress gasped in horror as she looked over and saw Po badly bleeding from a stab wound. He was barely conscious and fighting for his life. Tigress then looked back and saw that the figure had the sword next to her stomach. She then proceeded to swing it at full speed.

Tigress then woke up and screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the top of her lungs. This woke up Po and the rest of the 5. Po was the first one to get to her tent as he was the one closest to it. He went into the tent and asked "Tigress what's wrong? I heard you scream."

"Po, I had the worst nightmare ever y-" she was cut off by Po. "Let it out."

"What?" Tigress asked.

"I can tell you're holding back tears. That's not good for you. Just let it out." Po replied.

That's exactly what she did. She hugged Po and cried into his neck. The rest of the 5 walked in and were shocked at the sight.

"Are we interrupting something?" Mantis asked.

"No. Tigress just had a horrible nightmare. Now, Tigress you were just about to explain what it was."

Tigress wiped her tears away and sniffled. She then spoke "It was awful. I was in a pitch-black room and the figure that Shifu described was walking towards me. You and the rest of the 5 were dead and then swung her sword at me and then I woke up." She was still in tears as this was truly a terrible sight for her.

"It's ok Tigress we are here now. It was just a nightmare." Viper said.

"Yeah, you don't have anything to worry about.'' Monkey added.

"Now go back to sleep. We still must continue our journey tomorrow. I did however plan on making a stop at the Wunenghi museum of Kung Fu exhibits. It won't hurt. Plus, we will be able to relax a bit." Po said.

They were all excited about this as they had heard great stuff about the museum.

When they were about to leave Tigress gave Po one last hug. The rest of the 5 smirked at each other. They already suspected that they had crushes for each other.

They walked out of the tent and Crane said "Monkey you better start preparing the almond cookies because I may think I have won this bet. "You haven't yet just wait." They all placed bets a month ago.

Flashback to a month ago

"Guys I feel like Po and Tigress are acting a bit more attached than usual." Crane said.

"Yeah. I mean they are good friends but lately they have bee- WAIT!" Mantis replied.

"You don't think that-" Monkey said.

Viper was just smiling as they were talking as she already knew about Tigress' crush on Po.

"Guys in the kitchen now.'' Viper said. She knew they were going to make bets off this and she wanted to join in. She planned to make the losing bet because she really could care less about this but just wanted to see them make bets off this.

"Alright I bet 50 almond cookies that Tigress will be the one to confess." Crane said.

"I'm going to bet 100 almond cookies that Po will be the one to confess." Monkey said confidently.

"I bet they will confess at the same time." Mantis said.

"I bet my entire jar they are already in a relationship and are really good at hiding it." Viper added.

"Your entire JAR!?" they all said in shock.

"Yep, I'm that confident.'' (Although she knew she was going to lose, she found almond cookies overrated.

"Well then. Let's just wait and see." Mantis said.

Back to the Present

Po was thinking to himself. He loved how he helped her. He then went to sleep, and he couldn't wait for tomorrow.

To Be Continued...

Authors Note: Sorry for the slow pacing, but I just want to take things slowly. I will kick things up a notch in the next chapter. Also, sorry for having the dream scene so intense. I felt like all kung fu panda movies have a intense scene, so this was one of few as I think I will add more intense scenes.

Did you guys like this chapter? Probably not but ok. (Also new chapter tomorrow I'm feeling it)
