The two warriors enterd the tunnel of misery with extreme caution. DB suddenly put up his hand to stop Tigress. He was studying it all intensly. "Duck." They both fell to the ground with a flame shooting over them. Once it stopped, DB stood up and helped Tigress up. "Only trap. Now, we need to worry about those beasts that dwell in here." They continued on, ready for anything. A beast fell down in between the two. DB was so scared that, if his fur hadn't been there, he would have been paler than a ghost. He took out a manriki-gusari and let part of it dangle just a few inches above the ground. The beast looked at Tigress, then DB. It was an ugly being with an upturned snout and it looked like the face was pushed in. It lifted up its wings, revealing it had been in a few fights, because it had holes in the wings Its legs had three claws facing forwards and one of the claws had its point broken off. It had two fingers on its wings, neither of which had claws. DB swung the end of his manriki-gusari at it, only to have it deflected by the creature's wing. As it swung over DB, he ran towards the beast and swung it at it again. It wrapped around the head and was going around a second time, when it hit the back of its head and started unwrapping DB pulled the end back and caught it. He swung on three inches of it around. Tigress asked him,"What's the plan?"

"Try to stay alive. That's all I've got."

"Good plan."

DB and Tigress both charged at it again. DB tried swinging the manriki-gusari again, but the creature caught it and pulled DB towards it and hit him with its wing, but it had not paid attention to Tigress, who hit its chest. It was on its back and Tigress cam edown, kicking it hard in the same place she hit it. DB then yelled,"MOVE!" She rolled off of the creature and DB thrust his ninja sword into the chest of the creature. He then pulled it out, put it away, and pulled out a katana. He put it in the hole he made with the ninja sword, then sliced upwards. After it went all the way through, he pulled it back and sliced the other way. The creature opened up, revealing several smaller creatures crawling around inside it. Some of the organs of the beast were eaten away completely, while others were only beginning to be eaten. DB lit a torch and threw it onto the beast. The things eating it were being burned up with it. The two just continued on. They eventually came to a place with several different places to go. Tigress waited for DB to go. He just stood their, looking at each tunnel. "Which one do we go to?" DB pointed at one. "What are we waiting for?"

"That leads to the home of the flying beast. We may not survive if we go there."

All of the sudden, they started to here a bunch of noises, increasing slowly. They then heard the screech of the flying beast, followed by a gust of wind. DB said,"Well, the flying beast left and its night time. We have to hurry." They both quickly made it down the tunnel. They came to a huge nest. They just went around it. They continued down an even bigger tunnel. They came to a cliff. It was covered with several small flowers. They were lilies. Tigress asked,"These it?"

"No. We need to go down the side to get to the Mongolian Death Lily."

Then, they heard screech above them, followed by a dust cloud in front of them. When it cleared, there was a flying creature a few inches shorter than DB. DB fainted, telling Tigress this was deadlier than it looked. It flapped its wings and blew Tigress a little ways into the cave. She rushed out, to see it was getting close to DB. She lunged at it, and tackled it. She then threw it over the edge, only to have it fly back up and swoop down at her. She dodged, but only barely. When it landed and turned around, she finally got a good glimpse of it. It had a very long beak that came to a sharp point. It was the first creature with feathers. It had its wings held up and reminded Tigress of a bat. It had five twos, each with five inch long talons. It had three fingers, with eight inch long claws. It lunged at her and ended up on top of her. It held her down and started to stab at her head. It then stopped and looked at her. It then spoke. "You are a very beautiful species."

Tigress was shocked, to say the least. "Did you just speak?"

It chuckled and replied,"I did. I normally don't have anyone to talk to. You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes on."

"Thank you. Um, I was here with my friend to get the Mongolian Death Lily."

"Well, if you stay with me tonight, I will get it for you tomorrow, then get you out of this Valley."

"We really don't have time to spend the night."

"Well, maybe a few hours, but we leave him outside."

Her eyes went wide with what he was suggesting. "I already love someone. And I don't really want to do...that... especially not with you."

The creature just smirked as he said,"But, don't all females want it?"

"NO!"

THe creatures smirk dies a way and his face got serious. He leaned towards her and whispered,"I didn't want to have to use this, but I will!" He then lightly bit her neck and she was paralyzed. She couldn't even speak. She growled at him. He picked her up by the arm and dragged her into his cave. DB slowly woke. He turned to see the creature disappear into the cave. He ran in there after him. He seen the flying beast throw Tigress into the nest, before jumping in there himself. DB snuck up to the nest to see why he wanted Tigress. He een the creature use it beak to slowly remove her shirt.

Before the shirt was halfway down, DB takcled the beast off of her and said,"Stop right there!"

The creature asked,"Are you the one she's in love with?"

"No. I'm just a frined that cares for her safety."

"Do you love her?"

"No. I've got my own girlfriend."

The creature had a confused look on his face."But, here, the males only care for females that are their mates. That should be the way it is everywhere."

"Shows just how barbaric the Valley of Death is."

"The word 'barbaric' is only used for ways that are different from your own."

"You seem to be very well learned. Though it mat be used for ways that are different from my own, it is barbaric to force someone to do 'that' with you." DB got into his fighting position before continuing,"I won't let that happen, even if I have to die."

"Before I kill you, what is your name?"

"DB. You?"

"Darkness, because of my feathers." They were all jet black. DB charged at Darkness, but was knocked away by one of his wings. Darkness then lunged at DB. DB rolled away, but one of Darkness's claws scratched DB'arm. DB just got to his feet and pulled out a katana. They charged at each other. DB blocked one of Darkness's claws and dodged the other and then tripped him. He swung down, but Darkness moved out of the way. He then flew up and flapped his wings, causing DB to fly backwards. DB hit the side of the nest, then he ducked in time to dodge Darkness from hitting him. Darkness swooped over DB and grabbed him. He then dropped DB. DB landed on his face, but got up like it was nothing. "how can you get up like a fifty foot drop is nothing?"

"I've had worse." DB then jumped up at Darkness and landed on his back. Darkness flipped upside down, leaving DB to dangle there. He flew past some stalactites to try to make DB hit one, but DB just dodged them. Darkness then tried to barrel roll DB off, still no success. He then tried doing some backflips, finally getting DB off and hurling to the floor. DB landed on his feet. Darkness came swooping him right after, hitting him. DB was rammed into the side of the nest and had the air knocked out of him. Darkness then bit him like he bit Tigress. DB fell to the ground.

Darkness circled him. He said,"I think my sister would have fun with you. Course, I would have fun killing you. I think I'll just kill you. After you're dead, I will make your friend over there my mate." He chuckled evily, as he lifted a claw, but before he brought it down, he seen DB start having fire on his hands. DB slowly started getting to his feet. "HOW ARE YOU STANDING!? MY VENOM SHOULD HAVE IMMOBALIZED YOU!"

"Righteous fury can do amazing things." He then hit Darkness, burning some of the feathers. He ran at Darkness and hit him, but kept running until they hit the cave wall. Darkness fell to the ground. He looked up and let out a screech. DB grabbed his beak and threw him to the other side of the cave. He then wetn and picked up Tigress, throwing her over his back. He ran out of the cave to get the Mongolian Death Lily. He jumped onto the cliff side and slowly made his way down. He came to a ledge. There was a huge flower, much like the flower creature they had faced earlier, except it was opened up. DB uprooted it. He looked to both sides and seen there were several ledges with the Mongolian Death Lily. "Just like my home dimension." He then picked up Tigress. He ran down the side of the cliff while holding both Tigress and the Mongolian Death Lily. He got to the bottom and started just running through the forest. He noticed the muntain and realized he needed to change directions. He ran in the right direction after he changed directions and they were running up the side of the valley in a matter of moments. They were finally in the desert and DB never stopped running until they were out of the desert and in a forest.

He sat Tigress down, along with the Mongolian Death Lily. He was panting and holding his chest as he was sitting. Tigress was finally able to speak. "Thank you."

"No... thank...you. You...helped me...face my...fear." He was still breathing heavily. Tigress slowly got her hand held out and held DB's.

DB smiled as he knew she was saying both thank you and you're welcome. "You won't be walking until tomorrow morning, so we need to rest." They both fell asleep, without realizing Mastermind was watching them from above. He smiled, as his plan was still on track. Monkey and Mantis will get poisoned tomorrow. This will leave only Crane, Viper, Shifu, and the Ladies of the Shade to stop them. He knew that wasn't enough. He left swiftly.

Somewhere else in a forest

Wan and Po were sitting next to a fire. Wan was holding a stick in the fire, just to hold it. Po was watching around, because he felt someone was watching them. Wan said,"Let's get some sleep. We will be arriving tomorrow."

"Okay. Do you get the feeling we're being watched?"

"You're probably imagining things."

"Ya. You're-you're right." The two fell asleep, but they were indeed being watched by Traitor, the fire reflecting off his eyes. If it wasn't for the pain he would help to cause them, he would kill them right there. He left them in the darkness. He was ready for the plan to be initiated.
