And Thanks to Animation Universe 2005 for your review's

Due to the success of Shadow Tiger I've started to work on a Sequel Featuring Dai and Tigress's adopted son Kai and Peng along with some of the other KFP characters Like Po. It'll take place more during The Legends of Awesomeness.

"Has anyone seen Lao?" Dai asked sitting on the ground near the barracks, Tigress was next to him still coughing. Their fur was singed a bit, but other than that they were fine. Feng brought him a glass of water. "I haven't seen him." Feng said. Dai stood up and ran back to the burning rubble of the Barracks. There wasn't much left. Dai tried to remember where Lao's room was and started digging.

"Lao!" he shouted as he dug. Tigress and Feng joined him a moment later. They dug through the rubble for nearly an hour before Dai found him and stopped digging. Lao was buried under what was left of his room. The three of them pulled the remaining debris off Lao. Dai crouched down by his friend, His eyes were half closed and there was a large gash in the side of his head. He was dead. Dai closed Lao's eyes and stood up and fought back tears as he looked at his dead friend. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Tigress.

Dai continued to dig in the rubble looking for his weapons. He found them buried in the remains of his room. Dai slung his swords over his back and continued digging for his daggers. He found them and placed them on his belt. Master Shifu called them to the Training hall and Dai walked away from the Barracks.

When Dai got there he saw three sets of battle armor he assumed they were for him, Tigress and Feng. "The Jade Palace is at war." Mater Shifu said. "Dai, I want you to go on a scouting mission and find out how big this army is." "Find out everything you can and get back here as fast as you can." "What about Tigress and Feng?" Dai asked "They'll stay here just in case." Master Shifu said. Dai put on his armor and slung his swords over his shoulder his daggers went on his hips. Instead of a helmet Dai wore a black face mask. "How do I look?" he asked Tigress. "Good." Tigress said. Dai left the training hall and climbed up on top of the Jade Palace and sat down looking down over the valley watching the sun setting.

Normally it was Dai's favorite place to be the view was amazing, but now all Dai could think about was the coming war. Tigress joined him a minute later. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I'm fine I guess." Dai said as Tigress sat down next to him. Neither of them said anything for awhile. They just watched the sun go down.

"I guess I should be going." Dai said standing up. "What if you don't come back?" Tigress asked. "I'll be fine Tigress." Dai said. Then Tigress did something unexpected she grabbed him and kissed him. Dai kissed her back then let go and was about to jump off the roof when he paused. "I love you Ti." He said over his shoulder then jumped plummeting to the village below he twisted at the last second and landed on a roof top, then raced out of the village.

The journey took Dai a few days but he finally made it to the enemy encampment just as it started raining that was good it would help conceal him along with the dark of the night. He had just been had been chosen as the Dragon Warrior and he was already on the frontlines of a war with all of China at stake.

Dai crept up on a lone guard and killed him, he fell to into the mud with a splash Dai winced slightly at the sound if the enemy found out he was here he'd be the shortest lived Dragon Warrior ever. Dressed in his black armor and face mask Dai blended against the night only his eyes were visible as he crept closer to the enemy encampment. When Dai saw the amount of enemy soldiers he stopped breathing for a second.

The camp was enormous! There had to be thousands of them! Dai looked at the camp the soldiers he could see were well armed and armored, and he had to sneak into the middle of all that. "Great." Dai thought to himself and crept forward keeping to the shadows. There were plenty of places for him to hide in this massive camp. Right now Dai was crouched between two tents. He watched as two soldiers walked past him keeping a firm grip on his dagger Dai ran across and slid under cart just as more soldiers appeared.

One of them stopped in front of Dai he was so close Dai could see the scuff marks on his boots. Dai had no idea how long this soldier was going to remain here. But he didn't want to wait around until he decided to move. Quietly Dai slipped out from under the cart and attacked the soldier and with one quick move Dai snapped his neck, He lowered the body to the ground and rolled it under the cart to keep it hidden.

Dai slipped back between the tents trying to make his way to the large Command Tent that he knew had to be somewhere around here. A squad of soldiers appeared and Dai slipped into a nearby tent. Luckily it was empty and waited for the soldiers to pass him by. After they passed Dai peaked his head out the flap and looked around. Seeing the coast was clear Dai sprinted across the road.

"Hey!" the voice nearly gave Dai a heart attack and he spun around and saw a Wolf. Dai was about to throw his dagger at the wolf when he handed Dai a scroll. "Take this to the Command tent." The wolf said. It took Dai a second to realize he was being mistaken for a soldier with his armor on. "Sure, okay." Dai said tucking the scroll into his belt. "Um, which way is it?" he asked. The wolf growled slightly but pointed Dai in the right direction. Dai waited until the wolf was out of sight than opened the scroll.

On it was a map of China with different targets marked out one of them was the Valley of Peace another Gongmen City. Dai rolled the scroll back up and tucked it back into his belt. Just as an alarm rang out, it was time to go! They must have found the body, caring a little less about stealth now Dai ran through the camp. Knocking a couple soldiers over as he went past.

Dai made it to the tree line he'd been in earlier and jumped up onto the branches and kept going leaping from branch to branch. Dai heard a sound behind him and a second later the branch exploded, Dai leapt to another on as it fell to the ground bellow. Park of the tree trunk blew up next to him. They were shooting at him with cannons! Dai yelled as more cannon balls impacted near him and leapt out of the tree onto another. He had to move fast if he didn't want to get hit. Dai leaped from branch to branch as fast as he could.

But eventually one of the branches he landed on was hit as Dai tired to jump off, both him and the branch fell to the ground below. Dai twisted at the last second and landed on all fours. The impact hurt but he could still walk, Dai stood up and ran off as arrow's started flying past him. A cannon ball hit a tree in front of him and it fell blocking his path.

Dai slid to a stop in front of the fallen tree and started to climb up it as arrows flew past him or hit the tree trunk. One grazed the side of his head cutting his mask. Dai tore it off and tossed it aside and jumped down on the other side of the tree trunk. Dai spun around drawing his swords to deflect more incoming arrows. As Dai backed up he tripped on something and fell backwards, the wolves rushed him.

Dai fought them off and got back to his feet panting only to be knocked back down again. He saw one of the wolves about to stab down with his sword and threw his arm up to shield himself. Dai yelled in pain as the sword cut through his fore arm the blade stopping inches above his head. The wolf pulled the sword back out and Dai yelled again holding his arm. The wolf must have hit something important because Dai's vision was already starting to black out.

He felt the wolf reach down and take the scroll back. "Leave him be, he'll be dead from blood loss soon enough." The wolf said. Dai laid there his vision fading in and out. "I'm sorry Tigress." he thought before he passed out.
