Sorry for the delay on this chapter I didn't like the one I had written so I redid it. I hope you enjoy this exciting chapter make sure and leave me reviews.


Po-

I stood as she started to walk away looking at the others, "Well I guess I had better go to." I heard Viper gently say "Po you know this Decha doesn't follow our ways, our art. We owe him nothing and we don't even know him. He could be another Tai Lung." Taking a deep breath I looked back at the green snakes pleading eye's, "If Tigress of all people believes in him then I guess I will have to see for myself what kind of person he really is." She took a breath but didn't speak instead started to follow us the others close behind.

I had to jog to keep up with the fast determined pace Tigress had set through the field of destruction. I saw that she was carrying a leather bundle in one hand and was scanning every shadow as if expecting him to be lying dead there. After another three hours to reach the shadows of the great fortress. The front doors had been cracked but not opened and that's when Tigress took off towards a shape barely visible behind a large bolder. Concentrating on it I could see it was odd to say the least it had legs like a wolf and was easily larger than me. It sat with its head slumped forward. Tigress leapt over a fallen Rhino and landed in front of him and started trying to wake him. Running after her I came up behind her just as his bright red eyes snapped open. Before I even knew what was happening I had been launched backwards into the Rhino where I sat dazed my chest feeling like I had been hit by a club in the training arena.

As I opened my eyes I saw Tigress was checking him over for injury as he leaned back down. Blinking I thought, 'Never be around him when he's asleep again.' Then slowly got to my feet and walked back over slowly. He looked at me and in a voice that reminded me of something dark and foreboding he said, "Sorry about that." Griping Tigress's shoulder he started to stand slowly joints popping and a bit of blood trickled from a wound in his leg. As if all of this was nonexistent he held out one large clawed paw to me, "Name's Decha the Iron, and you must be Po the Dragon Warrior." I shook his hand noting that he was squeezing just enough to be polite.

When I let go he looked down confused at Tigress as she wrapped the wound grumbling. In an honestly surprised voice he said, "Thanks that's a lot better." When she finished she slapped the spot and stood. I had to keep my mouth shut as he acted like nothing had happened. Stretching I heard more pops then he turned and flexed his hands, "Well time to pick up where I left off. I'll go for the bounty you lot get the kids ok." Before anyone could say a word he jumped at the doors clearing the space in moments. Right before hitting the ground he began to spin then planted a large foot right at the center of the other impact. More cracks spread through the doors. Tigress jumped on the rock undoing the leather bundle and yelled, "Decha your demons" and threw a large sword at him and the rest of the bundle behind it.

I saw Cranes beak fall open as he spun kicking the sword into the door and caught the other bundle and strapped it around his shoulder kicking the sword again before landing and pulling it free. The door creaked but still stood as he pushed it open a thunderous boom sounded. As we ran up to where he had been I saw it was the beam they used to lock the door. He had split it buy driving his sword through it in just two blows. Looking at Tigress I watched him running at the next set of doors sword in his right an odd weapon in his other.

We tried to keep up as he busted through one door after another until we reached the main anti chamber. All the way anyone who came near him was displaced by leg or blade. As we came in there was the sound of locking blades as Decha and a huge Lion locked blades struggling to overpower each other. Tigress began looking around as the two fought it was like watching two Tia Lungs duke it out only they had swords. I was distracted from the fight by Tigress yelling, "Decha I need the Fire Demon." He grinned at her as he threw the odd weapon into the facing of the door where she was standing its hooked blade sinking just enough to hold it there.

Tigress-

Usually it's a thrill to take a fortress or the like with Decha but all I can think about are the students. In his usual fashion he charged ahead and cleared the way destroying all in his path. I hung back with the others so he could engage Midas while we went to the dungeon and collected Giga and Ray. When I found the right door it was an iron door that had been locked so I called to Decha for the Fire Demon. I had only used it once but it was an intoxicating weapon. Pulling it free from the frame where he threw it I put the open end of the pipe on its back almost against the handle and pulled the lever. I slid back a foot as the door was blasted off its hinges. Tucking it in my belt I drew my swords and lead the awestruck warriors into the depths below.

As we rounded the first corner two Rhino's charged us and without thinking I threw one of my swords into the one in the lead then slashed the one behind him as he fell over his comrade. Pulling both free as I ran over them I could hear the surprised gasp from Viper but didn't have time to stop and explain myself. We went through another four guards before we reached their cell like the one above it had an iron door but I didn't know how to reload the Iron demon so I started trying to break the hinges with my swords to no avail. Po came up and put a hand on my shoulder softly saying, "Stand a side. He began making the motions for inner peace then struck the door with both hands making it fall in on its own." I stared at him and started to wonder what all had happened while he had been gone but put it out of my mind as I ran in and found that Giga was laying on a bed with only her chest and lower wraps still on. A dead Wolf lay on the floor and Ray wasn't there.

Running over to Giga I could see she was still alive but battered and weak looking to Shi I sharply said, "I need you to carry her out with Viper and Po. Crane and Shi I need you to help me find Ray." No one argued with me as Shi did as I told him gently scooping her up and holding her close I could see he was distracted by her bareness so I took off my Jacket and wrapped it around her exposing my old shirt and the sword belts that hung across my torso. Without a word I ran back into the hall way and down the stairs the two birds gliding silently behind me.
