Three days passed and the others were enjoying Bao's company there. Tigress was finding Bao's presence highly irritable and was getting more upset by the minute. Bao tried to get her to talk to him when the others were around which made her even angrier at him then previously. Shifu had advised to the others to leave her alone which made Tigress very happy. She'd been packing her more treasured belongings into her bag for the past two days. She waited till the others had gone to bed that night before she left. She stood outside the Jade Palace looking at the doors. "I'll never forget you Shifu. You're the only father I've ever known. Oogway and you both taught me everything I know today. And I'm sorry about this but I can't stay." She whispered. "I'll miss all of you guys. You've been the best friends ever. I'll even miss Po more than you'd think." She turned running down the stairs and out of the Valley of Peace. She turned looking back at the village. "I'll miss you all." She said before heading off on her journey.
The next morning Shifu woke up and walked into the Palace. He saw a note on one of the pillars. He took it reading it. His eyes widened as he read it before rushing back to the dorms. "Panda! Wake up!" He shouted. Po woke up startled running out of his room to Shifu. "What's wrong Shifu?" he asked. "Wake the others. Tigress has left." He said. Po nodded running to the other rooms. "Wait what?!" he said spinning around looking at him. "Tigress left? As in left here? For good?" he asked. "Yes. She left for good." He said. Po gasped running into the others rooms. "Wake up! Tigress left for good!" He shouted shaking Monkey. Monkey woke up and then once Po explained, he went and helped him wake the others up. They ran into the Palace where Shifu was pacing the floor. "What are we going to do? She could be anywhere by now!" Crane said. "I knew I shouldn't have left her alone." Viper said quietly. "It's alright. Just pack your things and head out and find her as fast as possible. Ask people if they've seen her." Shifu instructed. "Yes master." They all said rushing off. They packed their things into their bags quickly. Bao watched them closely. "What's going on?" he asked. Po turned around. "Tigress left. We're going to go find her." He said. Bao nodded. "Good luck." He said watching them head out. "You'll need it." He muttered walking back inside.
They all went down into the village asking around if anyone knew anything to do with Tigress and where she might have gone. Unfortunately they weren't able to find anything out since she had left at night. Po walked out of the village after looking for any clues. He stopped seeing the paw prints in some soft sand. "Hey guys! She went this way!" he called. They came over to him seeing the prints. "Let's get going then." Crane said as they ran off down the road. "Crane, fly ahead of us. See if you can see her anywhere. You'll have a better view from there." Monkey said. Crane nodded flying off faster ahead of them. "Do you think she'll be alright?" Mantis asked. "I don't know. I hope so." Viper said.
Meanwhile another two villages away, Tigress was mid fight with Temutai's men. She wasn't sure how they got to her other than the fact that they followed her most of the way since they'd kidnapped her and taken her to this place. She was beginning to wear out by the time she got to fighting Temutai. She was beaten after four hits and she hit the ground. Temutai smiled. "You should've known better than to mess with me!" he shouted. Tigress groaned softly pushing herself up. "What do you want with me?!" She snapped. "You are to tell me the secrets of kung fu since the panda won't!" Tigress looked at him crossly. "I'll never tell you!" She hissed. "Then take her away and torture her till she does!" Temutai ordered walking off. Two of his men grabbed Tigress walking off into a building locking the door behind them. "You'll regret what you're doing." She growled. "I don't think so. Now if you know what's good for you, you'll talk." One said firmly as they chained her down as they became the torture.
She was kept there for a day and a half and most of that was with her being tortured in all the ways Temutai could think of but still she didn't talk, mostly cried from the pain. Temutai was becoming impatient until he heard from some of his men that Crane had been spotted nearby. Unfortunately Crane had also spotted them and flown back to the others to warn them. "Hey guess what!" Crane shouted flying down. "What? Did you find Tigress?" Po asked hopefully. "Not quite. I saw Temutai's men. And they might have her." Crane said. "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Monkey said as they ran off for where Temutai was. They hid away in the trees watching them closely. They could hear them talking about the fact that they were close by and that they'd have to move Tigress. "So they do have her!" Viper said smiling. "Yeah. But it means we have to fight them to get hold of Tigress." Mantis said looking at them. "And just hope she's still alright." Po got up. "I'll deal with Temutai. You guys focus on getting Tigress out." He said. They nodded taking their positions around the camp area ready to attack when Po gave the signal. They had to wait till Temutai was alone and with none of his men nearby before could get to him. "Well if the panda is on his way get rid of the tiger!" Temutai shouted. "But what about the secrets of kung fu?" one asked. "I'll get it out of her later!" They all nodded. "And once you start that, get ready for an attack!" Temutai added. "I don't want to lose to the panda! Not again!" They ran off for the building and Po gave the signal for them to attack.
Po charged at Temutai jumping into the air with one foot under him and the other straight out hitting Temutai in the face. Po flipped over him and hit him again on the other side before grabbing his arm pulling him onto his back. "I will get you back for this panda!" Temutai growled glaring at Po. "I'd like to see you try Temutai!" Po said smiling as he hit Temutai another three times and then got hit twice by Temutai. Po flew back hitting the ground. He got up brushing the dirt out of his fur. "Alright Temutai, no more mister nice panda! It's time you saw what I was really made of!" He jumped up doing a spiral kick to Temutai's head before flipping around backwards and kicking him once in the chest and then stomach. Temutai swung a punch at Po but he ducked out of the way dodging the next few attacks. "Ha ha!" Po cheered happily as he jumped at Temutai again only to have him grab his ankle. "Oh no." Po muttered as Temutai hit him a few times before spinning him around and then letting go. Po hit the tree face first. "Ophf! Ouch!" Po muttered to himself getting up. He glance over at the others who were getting through the others quickly but still hadn't got to Tigress. Po ran over to them ignoring Temutai and broke the door down to the building where Tigress was. Tigress ran out almost collapsing at the door way if Po hadn't caught her. He held her arms gently getting her back onto her feet. "Tigress! What happened?!" he said shocked and worried. "Never mind. But I don't think I can make it out of her. You guys go while you still can!" she said trying to push Po away to the others but she was too weak to even do that much. "No! We'll take you with us." He said turning and punching a guard that came up behind them. "Let's go guys. We'll finish the fight another day." Po said running off with Tigress across his shoulders and the others following close behind. "I will get you again panda!" Temutai shouted angrily as they disappeared off.
