(A/N: Ok as promised here is the alternate ending, I got nothing to say other than I hope ya like it and sorry it took so long to write, also you can skip to the end if you don't feel like re-reading the whole story)
Warning: Bad grammar and spelling
"Well, well, well, if it isn't master tigress, where's the dragon warrior?" Asked tai lung as he leaned against the railing of the bridge.
"How do you know your not looking at her?" Tigress said with a glare.
He laughed.
"You think I'm a fool, I know your not the dragon warrior-none of you!" He yelled to the rest of the 5. He got on the railing and started walking down it before hopping off and standing before her.
"I heard how he fell out of the sky on a ball of fire, that he's a warrior. Unlike anything the world has ever seen." He said.
"Po?" Monkey said.
"So that is his name? Po. Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!" He declared with a risen fist.
Tigress struck, she tried to get him while he was distracted but he was more than ready for it. The 2 warriors battled it out for some time and it wasn't until their was some space between them did he speak to her.
"Is that all you got? I'm really disappointed tigress especially since you need a whole team to watch your back, In my opinion I think your better than that." He threw a punch. She blocked it, he grabbed her arm and pulled to bring her closer
"in fact why don't you leave them and come with me." He said loud enough for the five to hear.
"What?" She asked stunned, he let her go and backed away.
"Join me." He said, looking her dead in the eyes.
"As if she'd ever go with you." Monkey interrupted with a glare.
"She'd never turn traitor and if she did I'd never be for someone like you so keep dreaming." Said mantis.
Viper saw that the striped feline was silent.
"Tigress..." She called in uncertainty.
Said big cat ignored their calls and looked at tai lung with a glare "Never."
The snow leopard merely shrugged it off and gave her a sly smirk "we'll see about that."
He saw her get into her battle stance, he followed suit and it wasn't long before both felines clashed once again.

She watched as her teammates fell to the ground one by one, completely paralyzed. First it was monkey then mantis, followed by viper and crane. They tried to put up a fight but in the end he was too fast for them, she knew she was next but that didn't mean she would go down quietly.
He was 3 meters away and looking down at the motionless body's before him, as if admiring his work. She knew she didn't stand a chance against him and for some reason she felt he knew that too. She was completely on her own with no back up what's so ever.
He looked at her, they made eye contact.
"Now then, with all distractions out of the way I can finally talk to you one on one." Said tai lung.
He took a step towards her, she unconsciously wanted to take one back but instead chose to hold her ground. She knew he was powerful, far more powerful than she could ever be and that somewhat scared her but she sure as hell wasn't going to tell him that. It's like they say, actions speak louder than words and showing the slightest hint of fear would be like yelling it to the world.
"Theirs nothing to talk about." She hissed.
"Oh but their is little sister, their is indeed." He said.
He got closer and closer until he was a mere 3 feet away.
"I'm not nor have I ever been your little sister."
"Really? Because that's not what I remember, I'm hurt." He put a paw over his heart in mock hurt.
"That's in the past, this is the present, what you did was unforgivable and I have nothing to say to you." She tried to control her temper.
"What happened to the little cub that use to follow me everywhere and was in awe at everything I did?"
"She died when you became a traitor." Her breaths started getting shorter and shorter as her anger intensified.
"I don't recall you having a temper this explosive, it really doesn't suit you." He said.
She threw a punch at his face, he caught it with ease.
"Whatever happened to self control master tigress." He smirked.
"I hate you." She stated.
"Your lying, you and I both know your incapable of hate. No matter how hard you try and no matter how much you want too, you can never truly hate me or anyone for that matter." He released her fist.
He got her there, she closed her eyes, sighed and thought for a moment before opening them and looking up at him.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"I want you to reconsider my offer."
"My decision is final tai lung." She said.
"Such a shame. We would've made such a great team, just imagine it you and me ruling China together as brother and sister."
He started circling her, she didn't stop him.
"Having everything you've ever only dreamed of, everything you've ever been denied."
He leaned into her ear.
"Everything HE'S ever denied you."
Tigress knew exactly who he was talking about, her paws formed fists as she clenched them tightly.
"Speaking of our 'father' how's he been treating you?" He asked.
She didn't answer, he kept circling her.
"I heard he became cold, distant, and somewhat heartless. I also heard he took in 4 new students who had little to no experience in the beginning and I cant help but wonder what it was like for you. Did he start treating you like a student instead of a daughter? Was he more of a master and less of a father? Did he start setting high standards that you could never quite meet and when you did he only set them higher?"
"S-shut up." She looked down.
"Does he focus more on your mistakes no matter how small and reprimand you for it? Does he ever give you the time of day when it doesn't involve training?"
"Stop it." She spoke with more force.
He stopped, stood in front of her and got in her face. She looked up at him and struggled to keep her composure
"does he even love you?" He whispered harshly.
"I said stop!" She yelled and took a step back, he ignored her and continued.
"I bet if you quit he wouldn't care, he'd simply take in another student as he did before, train them and let them take your place in the team because to him your nothing."
She was speechless, he noticed this but continued.
"Your replaceable." He said with emphasis.
"Th-that's not true." She tried to glare but failed, her ears flattened against her head.
"Admit it. To him your were nothing but a sad little orphan, he only took you in because he saw you as something he could easily manipulate and use for his own benefit." He crossed his arms and waited for her response.
She said nothing.
"Now tell me dear sister why would you want to stay in a place like that? Just how much longer can you tolerate the harsh disappointment and self loathing? 5 years? 10 years? 15? 20?" He asked.
She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She didn't know what to say, didn't know what to think and as much as she hated to say it he was starting to sound convincing, just how much more could she take?
"Rethink your decision, join me and your suffering will end. No more high standards, no more harsh words and no more disappointment."
"I...can't..." she looked down.
"You can. The decision is yours tigress, all you have to do is say yes." He persuaded as he grabbed her shoulders, this made her slightly raise her head and look up at him.
She thought for a moment, was she really going to do this and would it really be worth it if she went with him and left everything she ever worked for behind?
"I...yes."
"Yes?" A smile started to form.
He couldn't believe it, he got her!
"Yes, I'll go with you." She nodded and saw his smile grow.
He was right. She couldn't take it anymore, the disappointment was just too much and she was tired, so very tired of being let down, of getting her hopes up only for them to get crushed time and time again. She was done, she was done with the jade palace, she was done with the 5, and she was especially done with shifu.
"Excellent, you've made the right choice."
He released her shoulders and backed off. She watched him quietly as he turned his back to her and walked to the rest of the 5, they would soon be known as the furious 4. She couldn't help but feel a small pang of guilt when she looked into vipers wide blue eyes, they trusted her with their lives and here she was betraying them.
Tigress scoffed.
She'd already made her decision and feeling guilty won't help anything. She walked towards them and stood next to her adoptive brother.
"What are you going to do with them?" She asked.
"I'm going to free the bird of the nerve strike, he will fly back to the palace with the others and this will serve as a fear factor to scare off anyone who tries to stop us." He explained.
She nodded in understanding and watched as he worked on crane. This was her life now, she was given a choice and in the end picked not what she thought was right but what she felt she needed and what she needed was to be free of shifu.
And free of shifu she would be, even if it meant being a traitor.
(A/N: ok that's it I hope it wasn't too bad. At least I tried ok and that's all that matters, hope ya liked it and until next time )
