Hello my loyal readers I hope you're enjoying this so far I apologize for the slight name confusion in the last chapter so here is a quick rundown of ocs and titles.
Decha= The cross breed hyena from the African wilds, master of stealth and war combat he wilds the fire demon and iron demon.
Gia= She is a pure bred striped hyena that was found in Thailand
Ray= A male condor Tigress took on as a student from a dock in Africa.
Si= Male grey wolf and current student at the jade palace
Shi= Female hawk also a student at the palace
Si-
It was surprisingly hard to keep up with Po and Viper as we raced up the stairs to where we had entered the dungeon. Even though I wouldn't hold it against her she was surprisingly heavy for her figure. As we came through the door there was loud crash and a crumbling of stone as a large rhino went flying into a stone pillar bringing it down on top of him. I quickly noticed that Decha was still fighting four more rhinos and holding his own as if it were just a sparring match. "Come on we have to hurry" Master Viper hissed at me and I rushed after them.
It didn't take us long to run back out the way we had come. As we left the gates Master Po slid to stop, "Viper you and Si take her to the small cave we saw right before we got here I'm going to go back and help Tigress. Now go and hide quick we won't be long." He turned and ran back in before we could argue. Looking to Viper I saw her shake her head then turn to do as Po said. After a few minutes we reached the cave where I was promptly Kicked out and told to watch for the others or enemies.
Sitting on a large rock outside the cave I could see all the way to the ruined fortress gates. I wondered if the beauty I had carried all the way here was ok and if she would kill me later for seeing her like that. I know the one time I almost saw She I had a black eye for almost a month. A chill ran down my spine as I realized she could probably fight like Tigress. Shaking my head I focused on my task and watched.
Po-
I ran back into the fortress as quick as possible. For some reason I didn't like the idea of her depending on that monster for back up and what was with them being able to know what the other needs and will do? It didn't set right on my stomach like a bad bean roll would. As I made it bake to the throne room where Decha had been fighting I saw a fresh whole in the wall and blood was all over the place as if someone had been flinging brushes full of paint around. Trying to ignore the sight I turned and ran back down into the depths of the dungeon.
Crane-
In all of the years I trained around and with Master Tigress I never saw here so worried. I wondered if it was just because her students were trapped here or that Decha was fighting alone up there. I almost hit Shi as we stopped at the entrance to a large dark room like a cellar. I waited then walked past Tigress into the room. That's when I saw the large back form flash by and smash into something that sounded like flesh on the other side in the darkness. "Ray we need to go before Decha over dose it now come on I know you've made them pay for what they've done." Tigress said in a calming tone. I tried not to step back as a Condor eyelevel with me and 4 times my size stepped out and bowed his head to her, "Yes master. You have collected Gia?" She just nodded and turned to run back up the stairs the condor doing the same since he couldn't open his wings. As I turned to fly up the stairs and try to stop anyone coming down I caught the star struck expression on Shi's face and smiled to myself.
Tigress-
Crane took off and flew ahead of us as Shi took up the rear. We found Po and Crane talking near the door and as they saw us suddenly fell silent. Irritation came as it usually did with his antics at times like this, "Po what is it." All he did was step a said and let we walk into what was left of the main room. I looked around for Decha and that's when I saw his sword embedded into the ground. I drew a sharp breath and looked to Ray, "Go grab iron demon we need to leave Now." Po blinked at me confused I just grabbed his arm and started forcing him to run as the birds caught up behind us.
I ran with them all the way to the cave where viper had been taking care of Gia. There I quickly picked her up and looked to the others. "If you four want to go ahead and head home I can understand it will take us longer to get there until Gia is on her feet again." Po stepped in front of me, "We said we will help now we will go with you back to the palace." I Smiled up at the panda and nodded before walking out of the cave and began to jog back the way we had come.
Decha-
Midas and his men were playing dirty but I wasn't going to let that beet me. After a good hour of fighting they had actually started to land some hits on me. I was always watching the door waiting to see my students come free then I saw Gia come out in the arms of the wolf that had been with is wrapped in Tigress's coat. Midas caught this apparently as he sneered, "I tried to make her one of the men's wenches but they wouldn't touch her they were to scared of what she might have had being with you for so long." That did it. My heart started to beat hard and fast my vision blurred a bit and all I could think of was destroying him. Throwing my sword into the floor I launched myself at him propelling us through the wall and down into the court yard.
There I fought him for the next hour taking cuts and slashes and braking his bones with each hit I landed. Finally I managed to reach up and catch his head. Before he could react I drove my knees into his chest eight times then my elbows into his head the same amount in a furry of strikes. That left him broken at my feet.
It took me a bit with my injuries but I managed to make it out of the fortress and too the cave I had used the night before just as the sun set. Looking around its confines I saw that the others had been here and left. I sat and feel asleep as a faint smile touched my face.
