Chapter 6 The Conclusion
Leo was heading to the training hall in his normal clothes. The two lovers left the Peach Tree several minutes ago so Leo and Tigress can do some sparring. On his way to the training hall, Leo heard the doors were opening at the palace.
"I better check it out." Leo said. He quickly ran to the palace and ran inside. Standing several feet before them was the hooded figure. "Coming here was a mistake, whoever you are." Leo said to the hooded figure.
Viper lets out a yawn and exits her room. She was heading down to the kitchen to get a cup of water. Viper was thinking about her conversation with Leo this morning. As Viper was thinking, she notices that Monkey's door was open. Slithering in his room, Viper sees Monkey knocked out.
"Monkey!" Viper gasps.
Monkey groans as he sits up, rubbing the back of his head. "Ow." Monkey groans. "What happened?"
"I was hoping you tell me." Viper said. "Do you remember what happened?"
"The last thing I remember I was about to head to the kitchen to join Crane and Mantis, but somebody knocked me out from behind." Monkey answered.
"I don't like this." Viper said. "We need to find the intruder. You go to the kitchen and have Crane and Mantis find Po. If Leo and Tigress are with him, bring them here. I'm going to get Shifu."
"Hmph." Leo growled, getting into his tiger stance.
"Nice to see you again." the intruder said.
"Who the hell are you?" Leo snapped at him.
"I am not an enemy."
"That doesn't matter." Leo said, keeping his guard up. "You are trespassing." He can hear several voices outside. "Give up. You're no match against the Dragon Warrior, the Furious Five and me."
"Then let's have this conversation somewhere else." the intruder said before running towards Leo.
Leo was about to attack until he felt a punch to his stomach hard. He fell on his knees as he was holding his stomach before falling to the floor.
Viper and Shifu made it to the Hall Of Heroes. There was no one there.
"Hm?" Viper wondered, noticing something on the floor. On the floor was a drop of blood. She slithers toward it. "Master Shifu, over here."
"What did you find?" Shifu asks her, walking up besides her. He looks down at the drop of blood.
"Blood." she answered.
Po and the rest of Furious Five comes rushing in.
"Have you guys found the intruder?" Monkey asks them.
"No." Shifu answered, turning to them. "We found a small drop of blood and this is just now."
"What?" Po gasps. "Just now?"
"That is correct." Shifu said. "A battle was fought here just recently before Viper and myself arrived."
"We didn't see anyone around here." Mantis said.
"Monkey, did you see the attacker's face?" Po asks him.
"No." Monkey answered. "I was knocked out before I can see the attacker's face."
"What about Leo?" Po wondered.
"Leo went back to our room and changed before meeting up at the Training Hall." Tigress answered. "I also notice that he took his sword."
"You and Viper shall go to the Training Hall and tell Leo we have an intruder." Shifu instructs them. "Po and myself will search the palace for the intruder. Monkey, Crane and Mantis, the three of you will head down to the valley and try to find Leo and the intruder."
Leo groans as he opens his eyes. He sat up slowly to get a good look to his surroundings. "The Wu Dan Mountains?" Leo wondered. "How the hell did I get here?" Leo stands up and turns around, seeing the intruder standing several feet away.
"I carried you." the intruder answers him.
"More like you kidnap me." Leo snarls. The intruder tosses Leo's weapon. "How did you get my sword?"
"When you were out to dinner." the intruder said. The intruder walks up to a flat rock and sits down with legs crossed. "Not a bad weapon."
"I'm going to enjoy beating the shit out of you." Leo growled.
"I don't think we'll be fighting." the intruder said.
Leo leaps in the air and attempted to slice the intruder. The intruder blocks the attack with a black paw, much to Leo's surprised. Leo tried to kick with his right foot, but he groaned. The intruder leans back and pushes him away.
"You won't win like that in this condition." the intruder said.
Leo grunted in frustration. He ran towards the intruder with a punch, but his punch was caught by a black paw. "Gr." Leo growled. But he could feel the pain again. The intruder caught him and helps Leo to sit down. "Who are you?"
The intruder removes the hood, revealing the face of a black male lion. He has blue eyes as the lion stares at Leo. "My name is Zeus." Zeus said. "And I know who you are, Leo."
"How did you know my name?" Leo asks him.
"I am a Guardian." Zeus answers him. "A Guardian Spirit from the Ten Realms."
"Interesting." Leo said. "I guess you come from my universe?"
"Yes and no." Zeus answered. Leo gave him a confused look. "Let me explain. In your universe, the Ten Realms exist there while this universe has its own Ten Realms. You can think of it as two different parallel universes that both exist. But somehow you ended up here and even Zhao."
"Do you know Zhao?" Leo asked, raising his arm to his chest.
"I heard about Zhao." Zeus said with a smile. "You defeated Zhao single handedly and saved the valley."
"I didn't want anything bad happen to them." Leo said with his guard up.
"You should relax, Leo." Zeus said. "I'm not going to hurt you. You should listen to what I have to say."
"Why should I listen to you?" Leo question him.
"Because you are involved that will affect your destiny that was planned by faith." Zeus answers him.
Tigress and Viper bursts through the doors of the Training Hall.
"Leo is not here." Tigress said, looking around the room.
"Even the intruder." Viper added.
"I don't like this." Tigress said. "The intruder must have snuck in when we weren't looking and knocked out Monkey. The intruder must be a skilled warrior."
Viper slithers up to her side. "Tigress, there's something you should know about Leo." Viper said.
Tigress looks at her. "About what?" Tigress demanded.
"About what him and I discussed this morning at the pool." Viper said.
Flashback
"Heh." Leo chuckled. As Leo tried to stand up, his wounds was beginning to hurt again, forcing him to kneel down.
"Leo!" Viper gasps. "You're bleeding."
Leo turns his shirt inside out and puts it on his wound. "Damnit." Leo cursed.
"Leo, you're still hurt." Viper said, shocked. "I thought you would be better by now."
"Sorry Viper." Leo said with a smile but he groans in pain. Viper helps him to sit down. "I had hopes no one would notice I'm still hurt from that battle."
"Leo, you shouldn't be moving if you're still in pain." Viper said to Leo. "You can barely stand up."
"I've been in this situation before." Leo said. "But I'm not going to let this pain stop me. I have to keep training." He tried to get up, but Viper stops him with her tail.
"Leo, you need to rest." Viper said. "If you keep moving, it will only get worse. You need to rest. Tigress was worried this morning that something happen to you."
"Tigress was worried about me?" Leo asked confused.
"Yes." Viper nodded. "She was worried something happened to you."
"That's sweet of her." Leo said. "But I think Tigress shouldn't worry about me."
"Leo, Tigress cares for you." Viper replied. "We all care about you."
"I know." Leo slowly nods his head. "You know, I don't want to hurt her with my tiger-like strength."
"Don't worry, Leo." Viper smiles, rubbing his cheek. "Tigress knows you won't hurt her because the two of you are friends. Who knows, you two would make a good couple." She notices him blushing.
"Tigress would be my first girlfriend." Leo said, sitting up. "I can tell you I'm not sociable."
"I can tell." Viper chuckled. "You and Tigress have a lot in common."
"True." Leo said.
"But Leo, you should tell Tigress about this." Viper said to him as she watches him stands up. "Promise me."
Leo was about to say something until he lost his balance and fell into the pool. "Ngh!" Leo grunted in pain as he felt the sting from his wounds. He got out of the pool and Viper slithers down from the stone pillar to see if Leo is alright.
"Are you okay?" Viper asks him. She looks at his wounds. Some of the wounds were reopened and he was losing a little bit of blood. "You're losing a bit of blood but you should okay as along as you rest."
Leo nodded his head and stood at the edge of the pool. "Viper." Leo said, looking over his shoulder. "I promise."
End Flashback
Tigress didn't say anything. She stood there in shocked, staring at Viper. "I knew something was wrong." Tigress said, breaking the silence between them. "I thought he was recovering."
"That's what we thought too." Viper said.
"Hm." Tigress said. "I'll talk to Leo about it later. We have to find him and tell him there's an intruder here."
"What do you mean that my destiny will be affected that was planned by faith?" Leo asks Zeus.
"At the end, your decision and actions will affect to the two you love and care after what happened in the past." Zeus answered.
Before Leo can say anything, a roar can be heard behind him. He quickly turns around and stands up to see Shifu, Po and Tigress standing behind them. Tigress takes a step forward, but Shifu stops her before he spoke.
"Who are you?" Shifu asks him. "And why did you steal Leo?"
"I am Zeus Li. A guardian from the Ten Realms." Zeus answers him. "But I didn't steal Leo. I only wished to speak to him in private. He is still injured from that battle."
Shifu notice the blood sliding down from Leo's wounds.
"But I thought Leo was better." Po said.
"No." Leo spoke, shaking his head. "I've been training after that fight."
"But why did you trained, Leo?" Shifu asks him. "You should've been resting."
"I know." Leo said. "But I didn't want any of you to worry about me. I'm always prepared for the worse."
"Leo, we all care about you." Tigress said. "Shifu and I will help you to control your tiger-like strength."
"Ok." Leo nodded.
"But after you rest and heal." Shifu instructed him.
Leo nodded his head again and walks over to Tigress to stand beside her. "There is one thing that I should warn you." Zeus said, standing up. "Beware the Fierce Warrior." A flash of light covers him as everyone shielded their eyes.
"He's gone." Po said.
"What does he mean?" Shifu thought. "We must head back to the palace."
"I want to speak to Leo alone, Master." Tigress said.
"Very well." Shifu said as he and Po left them.
Silence fell between the two. Leo began to speak. "Tigress, I-" But Tigress cuts him off by throwing her arms around him.
"Leo." Tigress spoke to him. "I know you would never hurt me because I care about you and I love you."
"I love you too and I know. I'm sorry I didn't say anything." He wraps his arms around her as well.
"I don't know what I'll do without you." Tigress said.
"I promise nothing won't happen to me." Leo said.
"Nothing will tear us apart, even if it kills us." Tigress said. She leans her head forward and kisses Leo. He returns the kiss before they stop.
Leo and Tigress enters their room.
"It's going to be hot for tonight and tomorrow." Tigress said.
"Good." Leo said.
She walks over to Leo, noticing the blood stain underneath his shirt. "You're going to have to take your shirt off so it can be washed tomorrow." Tigress said. "I'll help you take the shirt off." Tigress helps Leo to remove his shirt and drop the shirt onto the floor.
There was still some several cuts and bruises on Leo's body. A couple of cuts can be seen on his abs. Leo picks up his shirt and put it beside his diamond sword. He turns around and walks towards the bed to sit down next to Tigress.
"What will happen now?" Leo wondered.
"Shifu is going to make sure that you train hard with the rest of us." Tigress said.
"That sounds good to me." Leo said, looking at her. Before he could say anything else, Leo grunted in pain as he felt the pain. Tigress helps him lay down.
"Time to get some rest." Tigress said.
"No matter what happens to us, Tigress, I love you forever." Leo said.
"And I love you forever too." Tigress said. She bends her head down and began to kiss him.
Leo returns the kiss. He brought his right hand over to her face. The tiger purred affectionally. Tigress lays down besides him as they wrap each other into their arms. They broke the kiss before resting their foreheads onto one another and falling asleep.
