China, Present

The world was advancing, many customs, in many countries, were put aside, others were still present, and if it was the case, they ended up adapting to the new world, one that was going and was under construction, of course many laws continued to be the same as Always, curiously, to the movement of progress, the valley of peace was joining, with its own rhythm it was obvious, fuel lanterns replaced with electric light poles, and a small and somewhat complex mechanized transport system that did not take little to It was being implemented, but boy, this was helping a lot more for the messaging and mail system, yes, many things were changing, and a few others, modernizing, or even improving at the top ... it was almost noon in the entire valley of peace, and although things were being pretty,harmonious in various aspects ... they were not really harmonious, or not completely, since from that natural liquid, known as Imulsion, luminescent, golden, highly volatile, low viscosity, fungal, said liquid material soon opened the doors to new possibilities. , sustainable energy, for everyone, but like all great power, not many agreed with its distribution ... this, causing numerous disputes ... between nations ... and around the corner, it was whispered, the start of a possible war ... The Coalition of Organized Governments, better abbreviated as COG, soon took action on the matter, based on its 8 principles, Order, Diligence, Purity, Work, Honor, Loyalty, Faith and of course, Humility, one of its objectives to stand out, was to avoid a war ... but soon, that purpose, he was slightly blinded,Due to the illusion of becoming a world power, this organization was already arming itself, because although the probabilities of a war were not too high, they were present, and as the saying said, a wise king should never seek war, but if he must be ready for her ... but that is another matter, meanwhile, back to the valley of peace, at the entrance, of the famous and already quite beloved, Jade Palace ... Where a certain feline with black stripes and amber orbs, accompanied by a black and white ursid, a reptile, a bird, a primate, a mantis, and a red panda, they were receiving somewhat shocking news ... from two other Tigers in front of the aforementioned, one of them He was distinguished by being a yellowish-eyed Bengal tiger, almost like a snake's, wearing baggy pants,and a black vest free of any kind of embroidery, the other was a Siberian tiger, with the same eyes as the first, only he was a little shorter, and young, he wore black pants of the same style, and a colored vest green, although this was embroidered, with what seemed to be small lilo flowers on top ... and the Tigress in front of these
-… I think, travel to the city of Kenshi - Tigress said, without taking her eyes off those of her companions… her teacher… and of course, Po, while in her hands she held a kind of parchment…

Clearly, and as expected, everyone's reaction was as expected, jaws, and peak almost touching the ground due to the impression that this had caused ... but from what seemed to be, Po was the most affected with that news, that tender, considerate, noble and kind-hearted panda, kept his desire to want to throw a tantrum in front of that feline ... feline that for so long ... he secretly loved, but no matter how much he wanted ... no matter how much I look for a way, he could never find a way to tell her ... his true feelings for her

- We think that ... the decision you are making, you make for good reason ... then you will be accompanying the ... Gentlemen? - Master said, the grandmaster could barely speak, he directed his gaze towards both tigers not far from Tigress

- Shuo, great master Shifu, my name is Shuo - The older tiger replied, who soon pointed his palm to his brother from the side - And he is Lee, my younger brother ... well ... our ... younger brother - The latter , said while looking at Tigress, and she returned it over her shoulder, before seeing the opponents

- … For how long? - I end up asking the black and white ursid, with that pair of green orbs that he had for eyes ... but in reality it was not just any shade of green ... but a pair of beautiful natural jade, but said, they were not full of happiness as they used to be ... that special spark, which made them unique, was a little off at the time, causing a hidden concern on the part of the feline

- I'm not very sure Po ... I hope, it's for a short time ... a few months maybe - She said in response, turning for a few moments to meet the other two tigers - What do you think?

- Yes ... a few months only ... - Shuo barely answered, this, apparently, was waiting, a little more than that ... looking suspiciously at the panda, as well as releasing a short growl that only his brother could hear - ... Although , I couldn't assure you much, my father's empire is undergoing a pretty big change ... and maybe he needs all of us to not let himself fall due to the stress of work ... so

- The case ... is that it has barely been, long enough, I will return, so you do not have to worry ... I assure you - Tigress answered immediately, the downcast face of the panda, did not stop being present in his consciousness ... and Well, I was paying enough attention to her, but it was understandable ... if you saw yourself being abruptly in the need to separate yourself from that being that you love so much ... you would be the same ... or maybe worse than how she was

- When do you think, Partir? - Asked Viper, the reptile that until now had been silent, swung forward a few times, until it got a little closer to the master of the tiger style

- Tomorrow, possibly, we would do it tonight, but it is too dangerous, in my opinion - replied Lee, who received no complaints, much less contradictory, only a nod from his brothers ... Tigress included in that part

- I understand ... well ... well, I guess ... that was the news they wanted to give ... if that was all - Po's words at the beginning caught everyone's attention, as well as their looks, he was turning around, more than prepared to return to the interior of the training room ... this only confirmed the suspicions and concerns of Tigress, who soon reached out and walked to reach him.

- Po, wait ... - I try to reach him, although both, and the rest, were still at the moment of hearing the sound of an artifact approaching

- ... I'm not the only one who hears that right? - Asked Mono in an almost sarcastic tone, but soon the gazes went from murderous to confused, because when they turned around, they could see a couple of metal artifacts that were approaching at high speed towards the jade palace, and as it was from wait, they did it for heaven

With the new course that the whole world was taking, and of course, the help of the Imulsion, many advances on technology had been made, well among these were the most common, mostly civil transport, but the war machines ... special attention had been given to them, thus causing the manufacture of various machines ... several you knew as ... Centaurs, large machines, with large and heavy wheels that carried inside, a crew of at least 4 beings, in their lower part it counted with four wheels made of a material that had been called, rubber, and of course that as expected, these machines were designed for dangerous terrain, in the explosive sense (If you know what I'm talking about, of course), in the part top of said machine, a turret had been placed, and it had an elongated barrel,that many said, it was the most lethal that the army and the nation could manufacture, but boy, a lot of metal was left on those machines, because the thickness of it, was specially designed to avoid any kind of damage to their tribulation, to access They, the hatch above the turret, after those, there were the armadillos, like the first ones, only less tall, and longer, and instead of 4 wheels like the ones that the Centaur had, these were 6, two large rear, 4 small in the front, like the centaur, it had turrets, only they were lateral, and they were much smaller, but not for that they stopped being lethal to those who approached them with hostile intentions, just as than the first, the armadillo had a folding hatch that allowed access to its crew, luggage rack,a rear turret, and like the centaur, they had those new lights that had soon been placed throughout the valley, only smaller, but boy, they had good power at night to illuminate the outside, but the most requested , and just, those who were approaching the jade palace, were the already well known, King Raven, these flying war machines, at first called helicopters, soon became an important part, of the COG (COG), The three aforementioned vehicles were exclusively owned by the Coalition, for the following reasons, it was many of its mechanics, who gave plans and ideas for the development of their vehicles, and it was they who put an immense amount of this budget , all vehicles from the smallest, to the largest,They use the characteristic colors of the CGO, as well as their colors, between grayish, blue, and sometimes white, in the Raven these three colors predominated, in the APC (Armadillos), it was grayish, and in the centaurs , was blue, and while there was something else that each of those machines shared, it was that they all bore the symbol of the army, a Crimson Omen, some in white, others in black, or silver, and third, the rights of These machines, as well as their parts, and weapons, were in the name of the Coalition ... so, whoever likes it, that's good, but whoever doesn't like it, fuck itit was blue, and although there was something else that each of these machines shared, it was that they all bore the symbol of the army, a Crimson Omen, some in white, others in black, or silver, and third, the rights of said machines, as well as their parts, and weapons, were in the name of the Coalition ... so, whoever likes it, that's good, but whoever doesn't like it, fuck itit was blue, and although there was something else that each of these machines shared, it was that they all bore the symbol of the army, a Crimson Omen, some in white, others in black, or silver, and third, the rights of said machines, as well as their parts, and weapons, were in the name of the Coalition ... so, whoever likes it, that's fine, but whoever doesn't like it, fuck it

Although these two Raven were quite curious, one was in the familiar colors, and the other was somewhat more formal, full of a black and shiny onyx, as was characteristic of each COG vehicle, this one was full of lights blue almost everywhere, passing over the town, and soon rising to pass over the hall of heroes, approaching quickly and rapidly, towards the training yard, in view of this, one of the helicopters had to back up and descend In the sand, in the middle of the 1000 steps, the one that was in shiny black, continued his course towards the patio of the training room, and with the utmost care possible, it began to go down, those things made noise , and of course with the noise,This was accompanied by strong air blizzards that disarmed and made everyone's clothes flutter, and although the Raven's engines were turned off, the propellers would take time to stop completely, but that was not an impediment, so that the compartments of said aircraft , were opened, thus deploying ramps with steps, from the interior of said aircraft, 5 figures emerged, the first two, a lion, the second was a Malayan bear, the third, a jaguar, and the last two, no idea of what species They were, because they were using armor, the same color as the helicopter, only these, in addition to having somewhat threatening and intimidating features, were also full of lights in certain key arts of said armor (Onyx Guards, with their respective armor), these one on each side of the lion, and the Malay bear,The lion was wearing quite formal clothes, like a suit if it could be said like that, the only difference with this is that his mane was trimmed in a certain rather peculiar way, it was present, but it was not as long and leafy as would get used In seeing about a lion, on the contrary, it was short, firm, straight, of a quite military aspect could be said thus (President Prescott's political dress), and the Malayan bear, which although it was of an imposing size, was Even more, with the armor that he was using, shoulder pads, chest, and even wearing a cape, many of the parts of that armor were made of pure gold, polished, and the rest seemed to be jade, or the color was similar to jade , at his waist, on the right side, he was holding and carrying with him a sword of enormous size, and at his neck,He wore what was a CGO insignia necklace, a gear, attached to his neck by a small, thin metal chain (The armor of Nassar Embry, Father Principal, and Founder of the CGO)

The jaguar, the one that at the time had kept pace with the guards, soon found itself advancing, passing by their side, until it reached the bear and the lion, who barely got off the helicopter, began to walk towards The crowd, this jaguar in particular, was wearing armor equal to that of the guards, only this one had pockets almost everywhere, a fairly large blue light sticking out from the left shoulder of the armor, and a sheathed knife on its Right shoulder, more than the shoulder, actually, he was on his chest, his armor was grayish, but as expected, he was using the Crimson Augury symbol, just like the armor of the guards (The Classic Commando armor), when facing the teachers and the tigers, they stopped their step,Each guard, and the jaguar, in their hands, were loading advanced weapons of the new and next century, for these were like Lord Shen's cannons, only faster, more lethal, smaller, and below what was supposed, it was the cannon, a kind of serrated blade (Lancer Mk 2)

- .. We were expecting visits? - Po whispered to his teacher, who soon shook his head, but soon each one responded to the greeting with a bow

- Greetings, residents of the jade palace - The lion spoke, who straightened up in his place after having given his greeting - We regret the inconvenience that we may be causing you with this entry so ... inappropriate, I present myself before you, I am the President Richard Prescott, current leader of the Coalition of Organized Governments ... although they can only call him CGO, it is its abbreviation, and he is Nassar Embry, one of the fathers of the CGO, and founder too

- Ah ... Ah, yes, I have heard about you - Lee replied, winning many of the looks from those present, before he continued speaking - They have bases of operations around almost the entire nation, I even heard that they had planned to open one in our empire, Kenshi, you sure know him

- Yes, we know him, but due to denials of the new head of the place, those plans were canceled, but let's not deviate from the subject - Prescott answered immediately, clearing his throat firmly - We have come, for the following ... everything that these months , an attempt was made to avoid, or in a certain way, postpone, it has happened ... the great nation of China, and the CGO, have entered war, with the Union of Independent Republics, and the countries that support it (The UIR)

As soon as they heard the word war, it was enough for spirits to rise, but in a way, not at all pleasant, this was undoubtedly a problem for many people, and of course it generated a small conflict regarding their ideas, sooner, Prescott again spoke

- Relax, calm down please ... I understand that this is undoubtedly overwhelming news, but you can be sure that the COG is ready to respond to all kinds of hostilities that the enemy has to offer us - I explain, and I clarify this, with the greatest tone of serenity that her voice could give, and soon it was also then, that the calm returned, but it was going to be for a short time - I imagine, that you may be getting an idea, why, we are here

- I imagine, Mr. President ... that you are here to recruit my students, in that case ... let me tell you that ... - He could not continue, as Prescott interrupted him at that moment with one of his hands pointing to the front, extended to silence him.

- I understand what you may be thinking, but I must tell you, it is not like that ... we have complete data and reports on all of your students, but in this war, we need soldiers who can hold the Lancer firmly and who can aim the same way ... something that for many ... it would be impossible - Said this, looking askance at Monkey, Mantis, Crane and Viper - But ... no ... and don't worry, we are not coming for you ... not even for her - He said referring and pointing to Tigress - ... We come for him - I point out soon, to Po, he stayed still in his place, with an expression of perplexity on his face, causing him to take one of his fingers to point to his own face - That's right son, for you ... we have listened to your story ... and what you have done for your country, without a doubt, are actions worthy of praise and praise, and that is why too,that we have brought you this - He slightly opened his suit, and from inside, he soon took out two envelopes, which he stretched towards Po

He, somewhat indecisive, and also, scared and nervous, approached, and took the letters from Prescott's hand, opening these soon in a somewhat shaky and difficult way, due to his nerves, as soon as he opened the first envelope, he took out a letter that had the imperial emblem, this caused a stir in the panda's heart, but as soon as he began to read, he realized that it was a letter of recommendation, from… Lu Kang?

- Your emperor, speaks very highly of you ... "The best warrior this nation can have, without a doubt, would command an army with his eyes closed" were those his exact words - Prescott said soon he saw that Po finished reading that letter, I took the second envelope, it had the COG symbol on top, a Phoenix Omen, I soon removed the seal, and took out the letter from inside, it was a recruitment notice, however - ... Don't worry, these notices are not like the ones the nation is used to ... if you decide to reject it, nothing will happen ... but if you decide to accept it ... bear in mind ... that you will be out there ... fighting, for the good of your country, for your loved ones ... and your loved ones

The latter echoed in the mind of the overwhelmed panda ... "Loved ones" far over his shoulder, he turned to see Tigress, her expression was disconcerting because it did not convey any particular feeling, although it was also quite clear to notice ... that you looked scared ... worried

- The pay is good, and even more so, being times of war ... but that I don't think is too important to you ... What do you have to say, son? - Asked Prescott, keeping his hands together and behind his back

-… Yes… I decide to accept… - This caused the heads to rise, the jaws to drop a little, on the part of everyone, except those two tigers, Lee and Shuo - When, would he leave?

- ... Tomorrow morning - Nassar, that huge Malay bear, answered now, took the appropriate steps towards the black and white ursid, placing one of his heavy and large hands on his shoulder - Son ... we may be asking too much of you , with an answer in a short time ... but whatever the decision you make ... it will be the correct one, in this, there is no failure, nor loses ... - His voice was hoarse, but calm, serene, but kind at the same time, moving away soon this, to return to Prescott's side

- If you decide to accept ... then we will be seeing each other, in the central base of the nation, in the imperial capital ... the helicopter that stayed a few steps down, will transfer you, and the soldier Sheng there ... we retire ... spend a Good morning - The Raven's engines started again, its blades began to turn, and soon the same noise and force of the wind was back to just as it had been before, the jaguar, had stayed where Po and the others, charging in a from his hands, a gigantic military bag, said they were accommodated "P. Ping "on one of their sides ... they seemed to be prepared in case the panda said yes or no

The helicopter took its own thing, but as soon as it took flight, it was that it withdrew from the valley at a quite impressive speed, even the crane admitted it, he could never fly at such a speed, it was like that when silence took over the environment again, The jaguar, who at first was looking towards the direction of that Raven, heard him as a throat was cleared, so he turned around soon, and faced the panda that did not stop itching his fingers between each other, this still holding his cards in his hands -… What happens?

- So… your name is Sheng? - Asked this, wanting to break the uncomfortable density of discomfort that was now in the air, he just denied the panda's question - Isn't your name like that?

- In Chinese, my name is like that ... but no, my name is Dominic Santiago ... but, you can call me Dom, if that is too complicated for you - He answered, soon lowering that suitcase to the ground

- Okay ... Dom ... - Now if ... that the discomfort was greater, but without further ado, it was that the jaguar threw that suitcase at the panda's feet, which he stared at for a few seconds, before lifting it, it was not so heavy as it seemed to be - And what is this?

- It's your uniform, and your armor ... listen to me, Po, a war is no longer a children's thing ... if you go out there, you will do things of which you are not going to be proud ... I know what I'm talking about ... - He said, with sorrow in his voice, because he seemed to be experiencing his own words - At least ... I, for my part, know that what I do, I am doing for my children ... for my wife ... And you? Do you have reasons why you want to enter it?

Before these words, the panda did not answer, only, firmly held in one of his hands, the letters, and in his free hand, he held the handles of the same suitcase, which he carried without almost much effort, and soon he He led this to the student barracks, more specifically, to his own, leaving most of them far behind, and bewildered, and Tigress could hardly, take the first distraction they could have, and ran on all four limbs behind him. That panda ... well I had to speak to him face to face, the situation was getting complicated, too much, and perhaps, and when to speak honestly ... from the heart

In The Barracks

.
.
.

The panda himself, astonished, was observing what was inside that suitcase, it was an armor, similar in appearance to the one Dom was using, however, it had many different things, two large plates on each side on the chest, had 3 lights on each side of the neck, as well as a small bulge on the nape, and a bolus above it, possibly for greater coverage, having inspected that armor a little better, he realized that the Augury Crimson, there it was, only this one stood out, and it was purely metallic, (The standard armor of the pendulum wars), both letters were left to one side, and when he stood up, he took that one out of the suitcase, the armor, and as he could, he began to put it on, one piece at a time, from the chest, down the arms, to the legs, without a doubt,I now understood what an action figure felt like, because it felt like one

- Hmmmm ... it's not, so bad, I expected it a little heavier ... but the truth is that this is quite comfortable ... although I would not use it for Kung fu, no doubt ... - His gaze slowly wandered to a floor mirror that did not have too far from him, when he found said, it was that he began to see himself, he looked ... imposing, perhaps a little taller, it seemed that his armor had increased about 20 or 30 centimeters more ... that made him laugh for a moment, before that a throat, clearing, was heard not far from him, right at the entrance of his door in reality, to which he turned carefully, and ended up facing the striped feline that for a long time, he did not stop seeing him , although now her expression was calmer ... serene, and perhaps ... playful, and mocking

- You know ... if that armor is supposed to be made for fat people, then it fits like a glove - Tigress said, not missing that short and somewhat hoarse laugh of hers, a laugh that was followed by a feigned and sarcastic panda

- Ha Ha Ha ... Very funny Tigress ~ ... - Her expression, which had recovered a little of her spirits, fell again, thus ending this by turning a moment, to the mirror and seeing herself one last time - ... Do you think I should go?

- Are you really thinking of going? - Asked Tigress, now taking a quite incredulous tone to herself - Po ... it's a war, a war is not like what we used to, to fight with bandits, much less this is like with that deranged peacock ... this is a lot, but much worse, and unlike anything we've ever done

- I know ... I know, and I understand, however ... I feel obliged to go - He answered himself, turning to face the mirror, some heavy steps were gradually approaching him, and it was like that then, when this was taken by the cheeks, and forced to turn

When he did it ... he was met with a too unpleasant surprise, because Tigress's eyes were looking at him quite fixedly, those amber eyes ... swollen, and reddish, soon they began to shed tears in droves, tears that went from his eyelids, to his cheeks, until falling slowly to the ground, at the feet of both, this was new, for the panda actually, well, it was the first time, in a long time, that he was face to face with Tigress's tears ... but outside of tears , soon a cry was present, a cry that was soon to stick against the chest of the panda, the arms of the striped feline, surrounded the body of this, and even with her armor on, she hugged him firmly, preventing this He moved away from her, he was shaking violently, it was likewise that he could not remain inert for too long,It was like this when I delicately surround him by the neck, returning the hug, just before the feline spoke again

- Do not go ... I beg you, please, do not go ... - His voice, the panda felt his heart break in half when he heard how it was that the striped feline was speaking with such a broken voice ... so devastated, so pleading ... no He would withdraw from the hug, and of course he would not stop rubbing against it - Why would you want to go to a place like that? What would you have to go do there? - He moved away, just to face the ursid in black and white, who would not let go of his arms at all - Tell me!

- ... I have something to fight for ... someone ... to protect ... - Po said, half

- WHO YOU SHOULD PROTECT !? Who should you fight for !? And don't tell me for the nation because I'm not going to ...

The feline could not continue, at that very moment, Tigress received the panda's left-hand on one of her cheeks, where they began to caress her cheekbone with their thumb, the panda's free hand was on her chin, and made her raise her gaze soon, the distance between the two became less, and from one moment to the next, she found herself being boldly kissed by the lips of that panda, said contact had lasted a few seconds, just before it ended up completely moving away from the panda. lip contact, and he remained looking, face to face, face to face, the face of Tigress, whose head was cradled on both of hers, proceeding in this way, to finally answer his many questions

- ... For you ... - He said with the greatest naturalness and determination in his voice that he could have - Tigress, it is for you that I must, and I feel the need to fight ... I feel, in the need to make sure that you are at except, that you have a nation in which you can rest without worry ... a place in which you can live in peace ... because ... Tigress ... I can't live, calm down ... knowing that the woman I love ... is living in a nation , full, of war ...

This one, alone, was receiving a stupefied expression from that feline that at no time had seen the other way, her tears had not stopped falling ... and she seemed not to have finished understanding what the panda had said ... it seemed ... but it was even clearer ... when he felt his nose, sticking to hers, sharing and exchanging breaths between them, both Tigress's breath, on Po's face, and Po's, on Tigress's face ... before this continue with the following

- ... I love you ... Tigress ... I love you - Said this one, without even doubting his words, nor without taking small pauses between letters - It is for that same love ... that I have you, that I must go to fight ... and I also regret not having Said before…

Soon his words were stopped, as the feline in front of him, held him by the sides of the armor, and pressed his lips against his, in a new lip contact, although this was a little more desperate, more anxious ... more passionate , longer, and warmer, Tigress's eyes at that moment were closed, but they kept shedding tears, perhaps even more after those words, in a very short time, the panda's hands continued to cradle her face and head. between his palms, and he equally closed his eyelids, both staying quickly glued to each other, in that lip contact that was taking the air from them both, because of this the balance of both began to weaken, both ending up by letting themselves fall sitting delicately on the edge of the panda's bed,Bliss apparently was resisting the weight of both, thus lasting a few good seconds of that kiss, they ended up separating

The breath, faithful and loyal enemy of kisses, was what they lacked at that very moment, causing in both mammals, panting, and quite heavy breaths, although the curious thing, the hands of one, did not move away from the other, and vice versa. , and although until a few seconds ago, they were catching their breath, the panda approached again, sticking its lips to the other's, once again snatching the breath from Tigress's mouth, her claws, they had already gone to affirm on the panda's armor, and although it did not scratch, it still left very small marks on it ... it was a long few minutes of kisses that came and went from both of them, and it was not until the cat's hands were towards both plates in the panda's armor, they pushed it aside, to take a breath both mammals, heavy breaths,and desperate for air ... but now ... they barely regained the necessary breath, the eyelids of both opened, and the amber orbs of the tiger, went to find the jade of the panda, in them a special shine was found, one that transmitted ... the need ... the desire ... the passion, the love, that they had for each other

- ... Now you understand ... why I must go - Po was the first to speak, thus bringing his hands, which had lowered from Tigress's face, to her hands to hold them, now bringing them once more to her cheeks, using her thumbs to clean any remaining tear marks that the feline may have on top - You understand… because now I want to fight… - As soon as he clean the remains and tear marks from above, this one sticks his forehead to the other's

-… Yes… Yes I understand… but… Po - He tried to find, in his mind, some way to convince the panda to give up the idea, but he spoke again

- I promise ... to write to you every day ... in one way or another ... I'll let you know that I'm fine ... that I'm alive ... and that I'm still fighting ... for you ... - I soon took Tigress's hands, and raised them to her face, where to the knuckles he went to release delicate and tender kisses on top - Please ... have faith in me ... trust ... in me ...

- Po ... Don't ask me to trust you ... because I already do - Tigress said, new tears began to fall from her eyes, but these compared to before, they were less, and smaller - To you ... I would trust you with my life ... - He bit his lower lip, and soon it was that he dropped his head, leaning on the panda's palm, before sighing heavily, surrendered, at what he said - ... Then I will also do the same ... I will write you ... and I will wish you the best of luck ... in battle ... even being in Kenshi ... but ... Po

- What is it, Tigress? - He asked, noticing the pause and the downward gaze of the feline in front of him

- I need ... I want to ask you something ... - She said, looking up again, to meet the panda's gaze, before her

- What is it about? - ... A quite long silence was made at that moment, the look of the feline wandered ... for a few moments, but this one, had no doubt in her eyes ... neither had nerves ... but determination ... and seemed to have made a decision

.

Later that day in the kitchen

.
.
.

Both, Tigress and Po, were walking in the direction of the kitchen of the barracks, as they came from the dragon cave ... it seemed to have been that they went to prepare various things in that place, holding hands, they crossed the corridors, until reach the kitchen corridor, that's when they let go of hands, and Po, slowly opening the door, he found the rest of the 5 furious, Tigresa's brothers, with their teacher, and Dom, this was already carrying in that his body the armor, as well as his uniform underneath it, and in his free hand, contrary to the one he used to take Tigress's hand, he brought his recruitment notice, which he slowly slid towards Dom ... which at take the paper, I check it, realizing how I had already signed it

- ... I accept the recruitment ... I will go to war - Po said, causing surprise in everyone, except Tigress, of course the expressions varied, some of fear, others of concern and some others, suspicious, the latter from Viper, Well, it seemed to have been the only one who realized how both mammals arrived at the same time ... together ... and alone ... curious ... Dom upon hearing this, it was that he doubled the notice, and saved it

- Then ... welcome to the COG ... We will be companions - The jaguar replied, taking a wooden glass from the table, from which he drank a little water, before putting it on the table - Welcome to the delta platoon ... soldier

- Yes ... Yes, all that has already been clarified - Po, soon I end up entering the kitchen, Tigress too, is taking a seat, while the other one was dedicated to preparing dinner for everyone, and said dinner, it left as it began, something fast, but full of laughter, comments, teasing, little jokes, and even slightly annoying comments from Mantis and Monkey ...

Although throughout the dinner, Po, and Tigress, did not stop sending discreet, quick, but quite complicit glances, something was up to them ... or at least, that was what Viper thought, and boy had he noticed, although it was Stranger, what happened a few seconds after Po sat down, he felt a little movement under the table, and at that moment, throwing the chopsticks by "accident", was that he used it as an excuse to look briefly underneath the table ... and what was found was certainly something ... impressive, Tigress's tail was attached to the panda's right leg, even above his boots and armor, and one of his feet, barefoot, went to gently massage it on the thigh to the panda itself, this causing certain, pleasant disagreements, as well as expressions and small gasps to the panda,He was almost getting too red at the actions of the other people's foot, but luckily, dinner ended soon

Each one got up, washed their dishes, and went to sleep, each said good night, Dom was going to sleep in the Raven, as he understood, and made it clear to Po, that they had to leave early, it was like that, that he began to go down, in the middle of the night, the stairs to that sand ... a few hours passed ... and once it was taken for sure that everyone was sleeping, Tigress and Po left their rooms, she is dressed only in a robe at night made of semi-translucent red fabric, free of embroidery, and apparently, it was the only thing he was using, because his chest area, more specifically, his bulge, was a little more prominent, and the panda was using his armor, carrying the Lancer in his left hand, and his suitcase on his right ...

- It's about time ... - Tigress said, to which the panda, silently, nodded, they hoped that no one was awake, and together, they walked out of the barracks, passing through the paths outside of it, until they reached the dragon's grotto ... being there, Tigress took the panda's suitcase and weapon, who soon took out a couple of stones, and thus, he started a fire ... in a campfire that both had previously prepared

As soon as the light in this became intense, it was that he left a set of 3 futons, thick sheets, and a few scented candles ... soon Tigress went to leave the panda's suitcase next to the photons, and that was when he took He sat on the futons, picking up his legs, to hug them to his chest, as soon as the panda finished lighting the three scented candles that had been placed around that small temporary bed ... before turning his torso towards the feline, who did not take him off the look ... this one, he soon went to sit right in front of it ... and carefully, he brought one of his hands to the suitcase, which he approached, and opened, soon putting a hand in it, searching and searching, until he found a small box wrapped as a gift

- ... This is for you ... it will be better, I give it to you now ... otherwise, I doubt that tomorrow I can do it ... - Po said, who stretched the box towards Tigress, who soon broke her posture, and replaced her by sitting lotus in the futons, taking the said box in their hands, somewhat expectantly - Open it ... it's for you

After hearing this, Tigress removed the ribbon that she had, before taking the packaging, and thus also, discovering what appeared to be a polished and varnished wooden box, this slightly confused the feline, but when she opened the box, cleared his doubts ... and only the tears threatened to fall from his eyes, it seemed to be ... a special brooch for hair, it was a beautiful brooch with a lotus flower on top, although its petals were black, which the panda I take it and take it out of the box, just to place it on Tigress above one of her ears, so that it would not bother her of course

- ... I will always carry it with me ... - Tigress declared, before looking sideways to her side, because not far from the two was the pool of water, in which for short seconds I managed to see her reflection ... go that the brooch was left perfect, just after that he turned to see Po, to whom I dedicate a sincere smile -… Thank you…

In a rather slow movement, she sought to withdraw the distance that was separating them both ... plus the panda's hands, held her shoulders, and gently stopped her - Wait ... - Po said, who soon received a puzzled look from Tigress -… Are you sure? … That this is what you want?

It seemed that that question had annoyed the feline a little, just a little, this causing it to turn for a moment to see the panda's suitcase ... this left him confused, and he followed his gaze to where he saw it, causing To get confused, and without too much effort, she released the locks on the panda's chest armor, letting it fall on both sides, back and front, carefully taking the front between her hands, before throwing it on the suitcase ... under the armor the panda was wearing a standard uniform ... pertinent to the Gear soldiers, which was the name given to the COG army ... soon he took a few steps on his knees towards the panda, and hugged him gently, bulging his chest against his uniform, leaning his head under the improper ... before closing his eyes,and sigh ... concentrating on the heartbeat of this very

- ... Po, I was the one who asked you for this ... I'm totally sure what is going to happen ... - Tigress replied to the nervous panda, who soon heard that, took her by the chin, and made her look up ... to find a once again, those amber, with the jade of this ...

- I don't want you to regret anything ... - Po said, making Tigress annoyed once more, it was more of a brief annoyance, because as soon as she straightened up in front of the panda, she put her hands up to the knot of her robe, which held with the index and the middle, and with a gentle pull, withdraw it, and with a quick movement of the shoulders, let the robe fall to the ground ... leaving herself ... naked before the panda, just as she had arrived, in this world

- ... I promise you ... that I will not regret going, that it happens tonight ... Now ... come here ... and claim ... yours ~ - The latter, Tigress said in a whisper, causing a kind of discharge in the panda's chest, who soon went to hug Tigress by the hip, again sticking his lips to the others, in a fairly soft contact ... passionate, and eager ...

Squeezes, tugs, and even a little bit of groping, indiscreet were those that the panda's hands were going to give on the body of the striped feline, soon, laying them back on the bed, hugs, kisses ... caresses ... even lunges ... and outbursts of pleasure ... that night ... both made it clear, and in evidence, the love that was latent for each other ... every second, every minute, every hour ... they took the whole night ... sharing the bed ... but not everything It is always eternal, dawn had come, and the sun was already beginning to appear ... Tigress did not have to worry so much, but she remembered that Po, had to leave at dawn ... with her heart in her hand, they both had to separate , they got dressed again, and leaving the mess there ... Tigress, I accompanied Po to the sand, where it seemed to be,that the helicopter had already started its engines, and Dom was already there waiting for him, taking his time to go down step, by step ... Tigress's hand did not release at all, Po's right arm ... and as soon as they reached the sand ... they saw each other head on ... bringing their hands soon to each other's cheeks, sharing ... one last kiss ...

- ... I'll be home ... for the winter festival ... - Po said, who at that moment, had pressed his forehead to Tigress', causing silent purrs for it

- I hope so ... because, I want us to go to dinner together that night ... just you and me ~ ... - He closed his eyes, and a small smile was drawn on his lips, but it faded, he barely moved away - ... I love you Po ... come back , safe and sound ... please ... -

- ... I will ... do not worry ... and I love you too - Tigress replied, before starting to back away, with his suitcase in hand, going up to the Raven at a not so hurried pace

Dom, at that moment, directed a quick glance at Tigress, she had clasped her hands ... right on her chest ... and looked at him ... as if she was begging ... "Take care of him, Please" ... a message that he understood perfectly, and As soon as it went up, the Raven took off in flight, rising high enough, before starting to retreat from the valley at a fairly considerable speed ... leaving Tigress there, dressed only in a night gown, and sandals ... under the cover of the morning cold ... seeing how ... a part of his soul, and his heart ... they left with the panda, while in the Raven, for Po it was different ... well, a part of him stayed with Tigress, the hatches were closed, and it was like that then , that he straightened in his seat, and glanced briefly at the jaguar next to him

-… So… here we go right? - Asked this, wanting to avoid an awkward silence ... to which Dom barely saw him out of the corner of his eye

- Yes ... That's right ... Anvil Gate ... Here we go

The future ... was uncertain, for everyone ... wars usually take time ... and although both mammals were sure that it would not take too long for the nation to win this war ... their thoughts were only very far from the truth ...

7 Hours Later

.
.
.

It had been a long time since takeoff, and soon before the eighth hour, Po received a small blow on his side, this made him wake up suddenly, and the realization of how the Raven's doors were beginning to open , and by the time he looked out, I notice how more than noon had passed ... and further down, he saw what seemed to be a kind of fort, and behind it, a gigantic COG camp

- Hey ... boy, watch out, we're coming - Dom said to Po, making him hold the Lancer firmly in his hands - Welcome to Anvil Gate

The helicopter circled the perimeter a few times, the camp and the fortress were covered by meters and meters of flushed twilights, and numerous rivers going down, the descent was quite smooth, and the aircraft hardly touched the ground with its tires , both soldiers got out of the Raven, Po holding his suitcase, and Dom only with his Lancer, meters more, meters less, there was a huge gathering of Gears in the camp, which was made up of numerous fairly large tents, the flags with The CGO insignia, they overflowed everywhere, they could barely, Po left his suitcase next to the others, and with Dom's instructions, they led him to line up behind some Gears in front of a kind of podium, Prescott was there accompanied by two Onyx guards,Once most of them were settled, Prescott hit something known as a microphone, causing a rather high-pitched sound that drew the attention of all the Gears, who stopped the conversation they had with each other, to return to their row

- Can you hear me well? … Yes? … The ones at the back side? ... Well ... perfect ... I'll get straight to the point, approximately 96 hours ago, the URI officially declared war on our faction, and our nation ... they allege, that the distribution, of the Imulsion, was not at all ... fair for them ... to which they took negative actions on the matter ... and that is why you are here today ... you were called to duty ... and to the service of your nation ... I do not promise you that many will come out of this war alive ... but I assure you ... that if they are to die ... they will die ... as heroes ... they will soon be assigned to their store depending on their platoon ... by the way ... they will share the store with the entire platoon ... we hope, they are ... comfortable, that's all ... I give the word, to Colonel Victor Hoffman - Prescott barely finished, stepped aside, and retreated from the podium with hurried steps,

As soon as he retired, a white lion, of a certainly advanced age, took his place on the podium, his armor was similar to that of the rest ... only a little more ... tactical ... and in accordance with his rank

- Very good ladies ... listen to me and listen carefully, you are no longer in your homes, so you better forget about any strange custom you have had in your town, your city, your farm, your room on any fucking side from which they have come ... The first and the last word I want, and you better vomit, will be "Sir yes Sir" ... let me know that you have understood, assholes - Hoffman ordered, causing a certain curiosity in the soldiers, but these they responded in unison

- Sir, Yes sir - The strength in their voices, barely and it was decent, at least apparently from Victor

- Shit, I'm not listening ... Say it like you have balls! - Reordered

- SIR, YES SIR! - They shouted again, only now at a much louder tone, and much more noticeable

- Very well ... that is already fucking acceptable ... now pay attention, as directive of the command, the first thing we must do, before sending them to the battlefield, is to train them, but we will leave that for later, for now, they will be assigned to them his tents by platoon… - Soon, a lioness, white alike, and with a thinner and smaller armor, but of grass green color, passed by him, and gave him a list - Alpha Platoon, the first tent together at the entrance - As soon as he said this, said soldiers, who were 5 in total, left the formation, took their suitcases, and went walking to that place - Bravo Platoon, you will touch the store next to Alpha - 6 Soldiers, carrying their armor, broke formation, took their bags, and went after them - Charlie Platoon,your turn is the store next to the infirmary - 4 Gear Soldiers broke formation, took their suitcases, and between playful blows, they went one after the other - Delta Squad - This made Po's ears ... of Dom, and of two other mammals not too far from them - It's your turn to shop next to the helipads… hopefully you enjoy the breeze and the noise of our Raven

As soon as Po finished hearing that, Dom dropped his shoulders, before turning his head towards the suitcases, they took their own, and just, they realized, two other soldiers took theirs ... only, two, the delta platoon apparently was made up only of them, and as soon as Po turned to see them and there he was, a puma with a fairly robust body, not fat, but strong, something tall could be said, almost equal in stature to Po, his armor was like anyone's, just that this one was quite clear white, the Crimson Omen was there, however, in a jet black, and said armor had no shoulder pads and no sleeves (The summer armor) and the other, was a wolf, but this wolf in In particular, he had something quite strange, he was white, and had a slightly bushy mane of golden color on top, and his armor, was similar to Po's,only light blue, and in addition to that, on his head above his eyelids, he had a pair of glasses with blue light on each lens, as soon as each one took his suitcase, they walked in line to the store that had been indicated, it did not take them too long to get to this one, and when they entered, it was simply that ... a tent, two bunk beds, 4 large trunks, each one with the name of each one, although they did not take much importance and only went inside, they closed and they began to settleeach one with the name of each one, although they did not take much importance to them and only entered, closed and began to settleeach one with the name of each one, although they did not take much importance to them and only entered, closed and began to settle

- ... I ASK ABOVE! - Shouted the Puma as soon as they had privacy, being that he threw his suitcase to the ground, passing next to that wolf, leaning on his shoulder until he was on top of the first bunk

- Aaagggh! Shit! - Replied the wolf, who just stopped feeling the weight of it on top, growled at him - Has your mother never told you that you are heavy?

- Did yours never tell you that you are a bit bitter? - The cougar rushed to answer him, he received a grunt in retaliation, but he didn't care about me and he just laughed out loud - Come on brother, cheer up, we're here at least

- Yes yes yes yes, whatever - Grunting, the wolf parted the legs of the puma, before the wolf left his suitcase on the lower bed of the bunk - Get your dirty boots out of the way before you dirty my bed

- Pffff what a seriousness - From a rather small jump, this term for getting off his bed, then standing in front of the entrance of the store - We have not formally introduced ourselves, I am Augustus, Augustus Cole

- Wait ... Wait - Dom called, who was finishing arranging his suitcase in the second bunk, on top - Cole? ... The Cole Train? The thrashball player? - Almost naively, asking the jaguar, who got a little closer to this

- Hahaha ... The same brother - The cougar answered, thus causing a bit of a stir from Dom

- This guy was impressive, his number, 83, played with the Cougars - As soon as he said this, Cole started to laugh, but he received it well, because it was almost always good to meet fans like this - Nice to meet you, my name is Dominic, Dominic Santiago

The cougar saw how he stretched out his hand, to shake them, and obviously he did not leave him hanging, I held him by the hand, and they shook each other, before he pulled and hugged him energetically, before moving away and returning to shake hands - A pleasure brother ... And you, what's your name? - He said the latter, looking askance at Po, who was finishing arranging his suitcase under his part of the bunk

- Po… My name is Po Ping - He replied, leaving his Lancer next to Dom's, before also approaching to say hello, but he was then received with the same enthusiasm as Dom

- A brother's pleasure, a real pleasure ... - As soon as they finished shaking hands, they slowly turned towards the wolf, who when feeling observed, let out a rather heavy sigh

- ... Ugggh ... Baird ... My name is Damon Baird ... - As soon as he finished saying, he turned on his bed, and sat on the edge of it, before putting his arms in front - And I don't want to! No hug, okay? Thanks a lot…

- Hahaha, the character of this ... sure and it will be the life of the party ... not as much as me in the end, of course - Cole's enthusiasm was certainly admirable ... Po did not take long to look at each and every one of his new companions ... before letting out a heavy heavy sigh

- So ... this is the delta platoon ... - Po said, who soon received a little nod from everyone - ... I like it ...

- You'll see brother, we will be the best squad in this entire division - Cole assured

- Yes ... whatever, but for now ... let's go to sleep ... something tells me that tomorrow we will need strength - Baird said, who removed the glasses from his face, put them under his pillow, and turned his back to everyone, crossing himself. arms ... even with his armor on

- Aren't you going to take that thing off? - Asked Dom, who did not receive an answer as such, but if they answered him at the end

- Something tells me that tomorrow we will occupy it ... good night - He said, and without further ado, he fell asleep instantly

- Yes, the best thing is to sleep ... tomorrow we will have a heavy day ... and it will be the first of many, good night everyone - Stepping on Baird's bed, Cole pushed himself up to his, and it was then that he was on his back

- Good night - Po said, walking to his bed, where he lay down, and soon, he settled down, looking for a few moments at Dom, who was holding a photograph in his hands, before putting bliss in his armor - What is that ?

When he saw himself discovered, Dom looked at him, and it was like this, that he turned around, and showed him for a few seconds a photograph, they were Dom, and a female jaguar, both smiling in what was a photograph - She is my wife ... Maria Flores Santiago ...

- She's cute ... Do you have children? - Asked Po, seeing how Dom kept the photograph, before getting on his bed on the bunk and settling down

- Two ... Benedict ... and Sylvia Santiago ... both very, very beautiful children - He gave a small applause and the lights in the store went out - It's because of them, I'm here ...

- I see - Po answered ... when he saw that he was not the only one who was fighting for a special someone in his life - ... Let's win the war ... and then they will have a good future assured

- ... I think so Po ... I think so ... rest - This Dom said at the end, just to close his eyelids and fall asleep soundly

- Rest Dom - Po whisper ... before turning his head, and looking towards a very small fabric window, towards the moon, which was just getting comfortable - ... Good night Tigress ... wherever you are ...

So the panda, turned around, turning his back to the window, which closed by itself ... well they said it ... it was only, the first day, of his stay in that camp ... the first day of training ... or possibly… the first day of the war… they weren't further apart than they might believe
