Author's note: Before the start of this new challenge, I would like to apologize to everyone for not giving news of myself for two weeks in a row. My explanation is that I have spent these last two weeks trying to 100% complete The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, but... by the lords, this game is long! I'm not kidding; I started it almost two years ago and I'm not even sure to be close to the end. I hope to finish it before the sequel comes out.

Tigress let her head hang down in shame. A good amount of time passed since Shen left her alone in the darkness of her cell room and she couldn't do anything but have sinister thoughts. She just wanted to break out of this prison, find this damn peacock, and snap his long neck. But how could she? Too many obstacles stood in her way, and she couldn't break through them alone.

This whole story was her fault. If she somehow managed to save Po from death - if she took the canon blast for him, then none of this would have happened. He would still be alive and would have stopped Lord Shen a long time ago. China would still be free. Their family would still be united... But of course, she just did the only thing she excelled at: failing. She failed her father so many times as a kid, she failed to become the Dragon Warrior, and she failed at stopping Tai Lung. Of course, the Universe decided the last two, but still.

CLING! CLANG!

Tigress rose her head upon hearing the sound of the door getting unlocked and open. She expected Shen to come and mock her current position again, but the visitor revealed himself to be his right arm. Wolf Boss walked into the room with a lit up torch that illuminated one side of his face while the other bathed in the dark. This did not prevent the feline from seeing the evil smirk on his lips.

"Wakey, wakey, little kitty," he cooed in a soft tone a bit too close to Tigress' face.

"What do you want? You came here to mock me? I warn you; it's just a waste of time."

"Come on, little kitty, don't be ridiculous," Wolf Boss responded. "If I wanted to mock you, I would have done it during my boss' visit." His eyes then narrowed into an evil and vicious glare. "No... I came to bring you to your punishment..."

Before Tigress could ask him about this statement, the canine grabbed a pair of keys from his belt and untied her chains from their connection. However, the cuffs remained on her paws and he started dragging her away and outside the room. She struggled a bit, but the lack of rest didn't give her the strength to fight back. And besides, with all the guards in the palace, she wouldn't even make it to the second floor without getting killed.

"Step lively; the Emperor is waiting for you..."


Shen stared at the Warhammer that once belonged to the legendary Master Thundering Rhino now firmly planted in the middle of his palace's courtyard. It happened many months ago and, yet, Shen felt like it happened just yesterday. The terror he saw in the great master's eyes just before being blown away into thousands of little pieces. The horror into Master Croc and Storming Ox's faces when they saw their beloved master dying while they were powerless to do anything about it.

Shen snickered to himself. He killed Master Thundering Rhino. He killed the Dragon Warrior. He broke Master Viper into becoming his obedient puppet. And today, he would break her dear sister...

Shen looked around him at the highly trained and armored wolves who would serve as his personal guard for his little expedition out in Gongmen City today. Soon, his gaze stopped on the figure standing at his side that he would protect more than anything in the world. His beloved sister.

Seeing her looking at the ground, Shen could tell something bothered his dear sister's mind. Turning Fan He so that she faced him, Shen lifted her chin with the tip of his wing to stare her crystal blue eyes. "What is bothering you, my precious Fan He?"

The peahen sighed before looking up at her brother. "It is nothing of importance."

"I will be the judge of that."

"Do you really have to do this to these ladies, Shen? I mean, I understand you want a harem to... please your desires. But the way you break them seems a bit intense and cruel."

Shen knew what she meant and raised his eyebrows. "From the beginning, these ladies were Kung Fu Masters who tried to take me down. If I want them to be part of my harem, I need to break and rebuild them first."

"I understand, but... don't you think it's a bit much?"

Shen looked at his sister with somewhat suspicious eyes. "You're not starting to doubt me after all this time, are you?"

"Of course not. You know I will never change my mind, Shen; you are my brother and my loyalty belongs to you and you alone." The sincerity in her voice made Shen understand that not a single trace of lie stood in her words.

The peacock chuckled. "Relax, sister; I was just messing with you. I know you would never double-cross me." He then gave a tender kiss to her forehead. "I love you, Fan He."

"And I love you too, brother."

Just then, the palace's doors opened and Wolf Boss entered the courtyard with his prisoner. Seeing the white peacock was enough to irritate Tigress, but seeing the tens of elite guards who would prevent her from getting her revenge made it worst. Knowing tugging against her metal chains would be useless, she just walked forward alongside Wolf Boss, but kept her firm, determined expression. She would not give this disgusting bird the satisfaction of a distressed or scared look.

"Welcome, tiger woman," Shen greeted her in the coldest way possible. "My company and I were only waiting for you before departing."

Tigress scoffed. "Stop acting as if I was your guest; we both know I'm your prisoner."

"Yes, that is true. But it's not because the civilization has changed that you must stop being civilized," the white peacock chuckled to himself.

"Greetings, Master Tigress," Fan He said with bowing in respect to the feline. "It is an honor to meet you in person."

Tigress stared at the peahen standing beside the tyran. She did hear about Lord Shen's sister, Fan He, during lectures about Gongmen's royal family. She heard about how the princess refused to give up on her brother and left in exile with him after the crimes he committed. Now that she saw her in person, Tigress realized the stories she have been told were not false; Fan He did have the grace of her mother, the queen, and the fierce aura of her father, the king. If only they could have met under different circumstances.

"Now, let us leave at once," Shen spoke, getting his prisoner out of her thoughts. "However, before we go... let's get our dear guest ready..."

Fan He sighed with looking down at the ground, a sad expression on her face. "I'm sorry about this, Master Tigress..."

Before Tigress could ask what the peacocks were talking about, a gorilla guard who stood next to her grabbed her paws and pulled them above her head, almost behind her back. Wolf Boss then came before her, giving a sadistic snarl, and reached his paws to unbutton her vest. It did not take long for Tigress to pull two and two together and understand what the sadistic peacock and his men planned for her.

"NO! STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME!" she ordered and pitifully used her legs to kick at Wolf Boss. However, as she should have expected, the other wolf guards interfered with two of them grabbing her legs to prevent her from fighting around. No matter what she did, she couldn't fight back against them.

"Calm down, kitty," Wolf Boss said after unbuttonning her vest enough so that her toned abdomen was visible. "Struggling will not get you out of this. Stay calm; it will not hurt... much." The canine finished the last button and Tigress' vest opened itself at last. He then pulled it up and found himself having to use a small knife to cut the piece of cloth a bit to make it pass the cuffs.

With the vest gone, Tigress' whole upper body was left on display, safe for the bandages covering her chest. The poor feline could not have been more flustered than at this moment: she never bared so much of her body in public before. Nobody except Viper ever saw what she looked like underneath her clothes. The dress code in the Jade Palace has always been strict - and yet, only Tigress never walked around half-naked like her friends. But they didn't wear more than necessary.

"Be quick; I don't have all day," Shen ordered as Wolf Boss went to work on her pants next.

Tigress growled and pushed her hips right and left in a desperate attempt to avoid the wolf's paws. This move was useless for Wolf Boss grabbed the rim of her black pants to pull them down gradually and soon, they were off. The other two wolves holding her legs removed her sandals prior to this, leaving the bottom of her body up for all to see now.

Tigress' cheeks became bright red - though the others couldn't see it because of her orange fur. There she stood in the middle of the courtyard with nothing but her chest bandages and loincloth to cover her body. Despite not being okay with this set of action, Fan He couldn't deny that the Master of Tiger Style looked gorgeous. The curves of her figure were worthy of a lady and her toned body reflected her years of hard work in the art of Kung Fu. She also possessed other... assets that males generally liked.

Shen walked in front of the striped feline, looking at her from head to toe. He soon formed a small grin in the corners of his beak and nodded. "Yes, this is a most... pleasant sight."

The idea of being a pleasing sight to this disgusting peacock almost gave nausea to Tigress. "You plan on making me walk through the city like this?! And I thought you couldn't get lower than this..."

Shen chuckled a bit. "Don't be ridiculous. I am not going to make you get around the city like this... You need another final touch."

SLASH!

In a split-second, the peacock swung his wing and used one of his hidden blades to cut the bandages, right in the middle of Tigress's chest. Before she could have the time to be surprised, he reached his metal talons to rip them off and threw them away. For the first time ever, Master Tigress' chest was left out in the open for all to see. The poor feline could only gasp in shock as her two dumplings were released from their hold and gathered all the attention in the place.

"And now, the final part..."

She swiftly used his metal talons once again, this time to cut the strings of Tigress' loincloth, making it fall down and drift away in the wind. The master felt a small rush of adrenaline running through her veins as the same wind brushed against her now bare groin. She never stood naked in front of so many people, let alone guys! Her heartbeat increased tenfolds and the heat rushed to her cheeks.

Shen smiled in satisfaction. Despite her best effort at hiding it, he could tell the Master of the Tiger Style felt embarrassed by her current position. He couldn't wait to make it worse than now. "Very well, we are good to go now."

And so started Master Tigress' walk of shame.

Shen walked ahead of the group with his sister by his side. All the others walked behind and the streets made way for their Emperor and his suit to pass by. Before leaving, Wolf Boss changed the position of Tigress' cuffs so that her paws were tied in her back. She attempted to limit her exposition by hiding behind the guards around her. However, Wolf Boss walked behind her and pushed her with his sledgehammer so that she remained in the middle of the suit. The guards around her made sure to leave space for the villagers around to see her walking by. And their reaction couldn't be clearer. Some were surprised to see the legendary master of the Jade Palace in their Emperor's custody while others couldn't believe a naked woman walked in cuffs like this in the streets... or both. Men looked at her with gazes of awe (their wives looking mad), women were looking at her in shock and disgust at how someone could do such a thing to a woman, and parents covered their children's eyes.

Despite the terrible embarrassment and urging desire to go hiding she felt, Tigress kept her back straight and her head high. Shen wanted to humiliate her and she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of looking ashamed in his game. She was a Kung Fu Master and would show her pride through this humiliation.

"Halt." The suit stopped walking after many minutes of walk which felt like hours to Tigress. They arrived before a big statue made of gold modeled after the disgusting peacock who ordered its creation.

"What an egomaniac," Tigress thought.

Shen turned around toward his prisoner, an air of malice shining inside his blood-red eye. "Bring the prisoner forward." Wolf Boss obeyed his Emperor, pushing Tigress toward him even if she would have advanced anyways. He stared right in her face with a sinister grin. "I just came up with a great idea... Chain her up to my statue!"

Yup, this peacock would never stop coming with cruel ideas.

A few seconds later, Tigress found herself with her arms above her head as chains tied her paws to the top of the statue and her feet chained together to its bottom. Shen stepped in front of the feline's naked figure and chuckled a bit, reaching a wing to poke at her right breast. "You know what the funny thing is? This position is similar to the one you were in back at the port, months ago. Only you were more... clothed."

Tigress growled at him in a threatening way. "Yes, you did this too," the peacock added with a chuckle. "I think a few hours here in the open with no cloth on should get you used to your new life in here... or maybe a few days?" Chuckling once more, Shen gave one last poke to the feline's breast before turning around and leaving with his suite.

Yes, he would break the Master of Tiger Style, even if it would take him fifty years...

Author's note: Shen started his work to break Master Tigress. Will he succeed or will our beloved feline resist his cruelty and take him down? One thing's for sure; it's gonna take more than making her walk around naked to break her... Too bad it's just the first step of his plan. As always, may the gods watch over you all, my friends.
