Prophecy Fulfilled

The next morning, the group woke up early to discuss their plans. "So where do we stand now?" Mei asked.

"Well, judging from the injuries that I saw on him, he won't be moving for a long time," Tigress said. Everyone looked at him. "Leo did some major damage to him," Tigress reminded.

"That reminds me, we're down one soldier now. What are we going to do?" Lee asked. Po thought about it for a moment.

"Well, we're going to have to stay put until the reinforcements arrive. Until then, we're going to have to protect the village. The old lady that lives here says we can stay as long as we want," Po suggested.

"I agree. We either go through with Po's plan or wait for miracle to happen," Mei sighed. About five days past and the team was able to stop most of the confrontations between Wong-Hu's men. Then Tigress got an idea. In the middle of the night, she snuck out of the team's house and braved up the mountain with Po's sword. She had a crazy idea. She braved the wintry trail of the mountain. Soon, she found a cave that was guarded by rhinos.

"That must be Wong-Hu's hideout," Tigress said to herself. Suddenly, she felt a shadow come upon her. She jumped around and stuck the sword out.

"Easy, it's just me," Leo whispered.

"Leo? What are you doing here? You should be in bed resting," Tigress scolded.

"And you should be down the mountain," Leo reminded, "My wounds already healed up. I was just tired from the healing that's all." He showed her the scar in his abdomen. It was nearly completely faded only after five days! "I heal pretty fast. So what's the crazy idea here?"

"Well, you know how Mei said we would need a miracle? I think I have a plan," Tigress whispered it to him.

"That's completely insane with only a small percent chance that we'll make it out alive," Leo replied.

"So you'll help me?" She asked hopefully. Leo sighed.

"What are we waiting for?" Leo shrugged. They quickly and quietly took out the guards. They sneaked down the dimly lit corridors of the cave until they came to a big opening. They saw that there was a manufacturing going on. For cannons.

"Just as I thought. They're going to attack the village with cannons. We're going to need to blow the whole thing up," Tigress whispered to Leo out of sight.

"Is that why you're carrying a stick of dynamite?" Leo said referring to red thing she had in her hand.

"It has a 30 minute fuse. That means we have to put it in a good place," Tigress replied.

"Leave it to me," Leo said as he grabbed the stick. He jumped quietly underneath one of the boxes. He snuck around to one of the barrels of gunpowder. He lit the fuse and scurried back to Tigress.

"Good, now let's get out of here," Tigress said getting up. Then she realized that a giant gorilla was behind them.

"Uh-Oh," Leo squeaked.

The next moment they were thrown in front of a bed-ridden Wong-Hu.

"So, you thought that you could discover my plan and just go off scot free?" He said.

"A little, yeah," Leo replied sarcastically. Wong-Hu shook his head with an evil smile.

"What can a woman and a rat do against one of the greatest generals of all China?" Wong-Hu challenged.

"Well, a panda was able to stand against you," Tigress muttered.

"Ah, you mean the dreaded Zaber. That panda just gets lucky all the time and nothing more. But you're different, my sweet," Wong-Hu said referring to Tigress. "If you join me, you can make all your people proud of you." Tigress thought about it. Would Shifu be pleased? She shook it off. No, of course not. She growled.

"Sorry, Wong-Honey," She teased, "But I won't do that. I have a job to protect the innocent and that includes Japan."

"If it weren't for Japan being at war with us, you would have grown up with your family!" He exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter, because I found a new family and friends and people who truly love me for who I am," She replied boldly. Leo smiled.

"Oh and Wong-Hu," Leo started, "The next time you underestimate warriors like us, be careful," Leo said as he jumped up behind one of the guards. He took the knife he had and cut the ropes wrapped around him. He quickly took out the guard and cut Tigress loose. She ran up to Wong-Hu's paralyzed body.

"I should destroy you right now for all the pain you've caused," Tigress said putting the Zaber sword to his throat, but she pulled back, "But I've got bigger things to do." She took one of the soldiers swords and pinned Wong-Hu to the bed. "Don't go anywhere."

"Come on, let's go," Leo shouted. They ran to the exit as the whole army started to chase them. "How many minutes do we have until that thing explodes!"

"About ten minutes. I guess," Tigress said punching out a guard and kept running.

"YOU'RE GUESSING!" Leo shouted.

"Hey, it's better than I don't know! We just need to get to the bottom of the mountain before it goes off," Tigress instructed. They dodged and weaved by guards blocking their way. They finally got outside.

"Okay, we're out, it's cold, and the sun's about to come out. What do we do now?" Leo asked still being chased by the guards. Tigress saw something at the village front. It was a lone cannon guarded by a sleeping rhino.

"I have to get that cannon! Stall some time for me," Tigress instructed. Leo nodded as he started attacking the chasers. Tigress bolted down the mountain at lightning speed. "Hmm, all that running and chasing Leo really paid off," She thought to herself. She finally got to the cannon and started loading it. Leo fell back to her. The horde was still coming down the mountain.

"So what's the plan?" He asked.

"Hit the top of that mountain to seal the cave before the dynamite goes off," Tigress quickly explained lighting the cannon by striking Po's sword against the cannon which created sparks. She took aim.

"You know that the chances of you hitting the needed point of that mountain are a million to one, right?!" Leo exclaimed.

"Don't tell me the odds!" Tigress shot back. Finally the cannon went off. Everyone watched as it zinged through the air to the top of the mountain. It hit the mountain with surprising power, knocking rocks over the entry of the cave.

"You think the dynamite is going to go off?" He asked. Then...

BOOOM!

The ground shook as the dynamite and all the gunpowder went off, causing an avalanche to destroy most of the guards still caught on the mountain. Everyone was outside to see what was the matter. They cheered and celebrated as Tigress breathed a sigh of relief. The reinforcements finally came to capture any strays. Leo rested his hand on Tigress's shoulder.

"You did well, Jin-Min warrior. You've brought honor and glory to the Jin-Min," He smiled. Tigress actually smiled back. Then they turned back to see Po right behind them. He looked mad. Tigress looked at the ground ashamed.

"Po, I know that you're mad at me for taking such a gutsy, chancy risk, and I know that you were worried sick. I'm sorry for worrying you," She said quietly.

"You are as crazy and stubborn and rebellious as your mother," Po stated. Then he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, lifted her up, and spun her around. Then he kissed her on the lips surprising her. "And I love that about you. I'm just glad that you're all safe," Po smiled. Tigress smiled back. "Don't. Do it. Again, Please," Po said firmly. Tigress chuckled a little. Mei and Lee came out too to celebrate with Tigress.

"Now for the journey home," Lee sighed, "The war is finally over."

to be continued.

Sorry if the chapter sounds rushed. I wanted to get this one out as quick as possible.
