In Jiāng Tōng Gorge during Festival

Kenji was sitting in his tent currently discussing the requirements of his contract.

"I want him dead, how you kill him is of no importance to me."

"This is the Dragon Warrior, if you want us to take him out the money better be good."

"Not a problem"

He patted two hefty bags of yuan tossing one to the the assassin duo with him Wei and Shi, AKA the infamous Zao Brothers. Both pumas looked at each other grinning and left their client's camp, black fur blending into the night.

Bamboo Forest

Po sat in the shade of the bamboo forest with Tigress and a bowl of dumplings he grabbed from the kitchen. Still on an adrenaline high he had headed out back into the forest with the tiger to show off his new skill.

"Hey Tigress check this out." Po walked over to a boulder and proceeded to pick it up, using his chi, and throw it around for a while yelling and making kung fu noises.

She watched from a distance rolling her eyes as he attempted to impress her.

Po then kicked the boulder off the cliff the were by and walked over to the feline

"Ugh, come on you know this is awesome. Why don't you have a little fun?"

"Fun is for the weak Po"

"Thats not what you said last night." He snickered and recieved a punch in the arm.

"You know what, you're right" she cooed in an alluring voice swaying her tail and running a finger down his chest.

Just as things were about to get good, two mysterious panthers showed up.

"Hey you, we're looking for the Dragon Warrior, know where to find him?"

"You're talking to him"

Wei laughed "I've heard rumors of you being a panda, never did I think they were true but here you are."

"What do you want?"

Instead of saying something the puma threw a knife at him which Po easily dodged.

"Okaaayyy then"

"Shi get him. The Dragon Warrior is mine." Craving a challenge both assassins approached their targets

Tigress now angry from having their private moment interrupted and being mistaken for a man now attacked the younger panther.

Po quickly shifted into a fighting stance and blocked the incoming jabs and punches barely managing to keep up with the strong strikes since he was a bit wiped from messing around with the boulder. Wei took notice of the panda's exhaustion and capitalized on it by switching to rapid jabs and kicks wearing him down even more. Po still hadn't landed a single hit.

Tigress wasn't faring well either hardly holding her own. Although she was fast the puma was faster, Shi was landing blows on her left and right. Tigress had had enough and lashed out throwing a powerful punch but she only ended up hitting air. Shi countered by uppercutting her in the chin and following up with a knee to the gut causing the feline to yelp and clutch her side in pain. Shi finished with another brutal knee to the head. On the brink of consciousness and coughing up blood, she was out of the fight.

"Awwww, kitty don't want to play anymore?" Shi walked over to his brother and merely sat on a nearby rock looking at the fight. Normally Shi would help his older brother but when he said something was his he meant it.

Wei had now cornered the panda by the cliff edge and was unsheathing his Chinese broad sword. "It's time to end this."

Po looked over to see Tigress on floor gasping for air and doubled over in agony. The happy go lucky panda Po's friends all know and love was now gone. Rage was now engulfing him renewing his vitality. He turned his head towards his attacker with an urge to kill. As the blade was being brought down ready to cut through him, Po brought his hands up and intercepted the sword. Po used his second wind strength to kick the blade out of Wei's hand catching it in the air.

"No one gets scratches on my Tigress." Po's voice was dark and ominous

Wei looked into panda's eyes and realized his mistake, pissing off a bear was not a good idea. With the assassin now unarmed Po thrust the sword at the panther with breakneck speed sending it straight into Wei's chest and out the other side. Shi watched in horror as his brother was stabbed. Quickly acting on impulse he pulled out a knife and threw it at Po who deftly caught it. With nothing but vengeance on his mind, he rammed the small dagger into Wei's exposed throat and kicked him onto the ground leaving the weapons embedded in him.

Po was now focusing on Shi, he had to end this quickly so he could help Tigress. The assassin was now in a defensive position examining the bear for a weakness. Unable to see a weak point and nervous after watching his own brother die infront of him, the need to avenge his sibling was the only thing keeping Shi there. Po sprinted at him closing the gap between them pretty damn quick. Now within arms reach, Po sent his foot at the puma, using his chi to accelerate the attack. His kick connected hitting Shi square on the chest propelling him into a nearby tree. Po walked up to the dazed assassin and kicked him in the side of the head rendering Shi unconscious.

Tigress opened her eyes when she felt two large arms pick her up and saw Po running at full speed back to the Valley.

Valley of Peace Infirmary

Po kicked the doors to the infirmary open and immediately began yelling.

"Help! She needs a doctor right now!" Tigress continued to cough up blood on Po's chest.

"Bring her over here, a doctor will take care of her!" A nurse motioned for him to come into an empty emergency room. 4 surgeons quickly entered as Po was laying Tigress down on a wooden table. The doctors instantly crowded around the tiger. "Come, the doctors need to get to work!" Po felt the nurses wolf hand drag him out of the room.

"Wait but I want to stay with her!"

"You can't the doctors need to be alone to figure out whats wrong with her!"

"But-"

"Listen! Do you want her to live?"

Po nodded

"Then sit down and wait" The nurse pointed at the chairs in the lobby

Po complied and sulked over to the chairs, if it meant Tigress would be alive he would do it. Although Po wanted to be awake just incase something happened to his favorite feline, he passed out as soon as he sat in one of the chairs, unaware of how wasted he was.
