The Phantom of the Snow Leopard 2: The Return
Chapter 14: Tai Lung's Alive
We see Tigress and King Tai Han trying to find Tai Lung only to find a couple of rocks that had covered the snow leopard before they found him. Tigress picks up all the rocks and throws them far away from them and to her shock and saddened face she saw Tai Lung lying with his eyes closed and is unable to breath. She takes off his white mask to see cuts on his face and some blood on his chin and forehead. The tiger kung fu master then puts her head down on his chest and starts to cry while tears start to fall from her face as King Tai Han watches sadly before he weighs his head down.
"Please, Tai Lung", said Tigress with tears still in her eyes, "Don't leave me. You're everything that I have in this beautiful world and I love you so much!"
King Tai Han walks away from Tigress and he thoughts to himself, "Goodbye, son. Rest in peace so I can be able to pay for what I've done."
Then, as Tigress stops crying, she starts to sing a song to the now dead snow leopard.
Tigress: In the darkness, all was cold
Hate had killed everything in our hearts
When anger destroyed pride and when lightning came thunder
We will never be apart
When I first saw you, I became blind
And my heart was filled with love and lust
That's when we became partners of love and comfort
I had to see it with only just
In a moment when Darkness falls
You were the one to be with me
Our love can't be broken it will never turn away
Together, us and our hearts were free
Together, we are not apart
We were meant to be
To fulfill a destiny
Our love has turned the tides of fate
And sealed the gates of death
When we vanquish the darkness with our humility
When darkness falls, the light will shine
The connection to our paths is undone
Evil is dead and the good will recover
When our love is gone
As long as we're with each other, we jump right to the start
And until the end of time, together, we are not apart
After the song ends, we see another tear fall from Tigress' eyes and into Tai Lung's face, but little does she realize that the snow leopard starts to open his eyes. He looks her and lifts up her chin, causing her to look at him.
"Is everything alright, my pet?", asked Tai Lung soothingly.
"Tai Lung", said Tigress and embraces the snow leopard tightly, "You're alive."
King Tai Han hears this and turns around to see the snow leopard now alive.
"My son", said King Tai Han and ran towards him before he hugged him gently, "I thought we'd lost you!"
"You'll never lose me, father", said Tai Lung, "I'll always be alright, I promise you that."
King Tai Han smiles at his son and we see the snow leopard glow brightly red before it quickly flashes everything back to normal including the village and all of the cities of China including the Jade Palace and Gongmen City. Meanwhile, we see Shen watching everything in the city turn back to normal and smiles gently.
"Thank you, Tai Lung", said Shen.
Meanwhile, at the Jade Palace, we see Shifu and the others smiling at the rebuilt palace and are proud of what Tai Lung had did.
"Well done, Tai Lung", said Shifu, "We knew you could do it."
Meanwhile, at the village near the mountains, we see all of the villagers cheering at Tai Lung for what he had done to save them as did Otar, Leona, and Queen Mei Hu before she herself ran towards him.
"We're so proud of you, my son", said Queen Mei Hu, "Oh, I love you so much."
"So do I, mother", said Tai Lung and Leona walks towards him.
"That was... fabulous", said Leona and kisses the snow leopard in the cheek, "Next time when you're about to kiss another cat besides Tigress, call me, alright?"
"I'll do that", said Tai Lung, "Thank you, Leona for everything that you've done to get me back home."
"And now that you've decided to stay here, we will celebrate your victory and I will crown you as king", said King Tai Han, "What do you say?"
"Of course, father", said Tai Lung, "I accept it."
Later, while all of the snow leopards celebrate Tai Lung's victory and becoming the new leader for Kudoha, we see King Tai Han and Queen Mei Hu appearing from their thrones.
"Citizens", said Queen Mei Hu, "In honor of celebrating our son's victory by becoming the new leader for our ancestor Kudoha, King Tai Han will crown Tai Lung as the new king of the village."
All of the villagers cheer in applause as Tai Lung appears with Tigress.
"Good luck, my love", said Tigress and she and Tai Lung kissed each other before the snow leopard walked towards the king and queen.
"Villagers", said Tai Lung, "I would like to make an announcement for all of you. I'm so glad to be here in this village and I'm so happy to see my parents again. If it wasn't for Master Shifu, the grandmaster of the Jade Palace, I wouldn't be here right now without my memories. I want all of you to know that... once I'm king of this village, I would make two requests since I'm a ruler. I hope all of you understand that."
"We all do, son", said King Tai Han, "Now, I bring you this Crown of Honor."
King Tai Han brings out the Crown of Honor and as Tai Lung bows respectfully to his father, King Tai Han puts it on top of his head.
"You, Tai Lung, protector of the Jade Palace and the Valley of Peace and the new leader for Kudoha", said King Tai Han, "You are now King of the entire village. Villagers, bow to your new king in the high heavens of our ancestors."
Tai Han and all of the villagers, including Leona, Otar, and Tigress bow to their new king of the village.
"Thank you, all of you", said Tai Lung, "I never thought I live to see this day, but like I said before, I would like to make two requests as king. My first request is to let Tigress, my wife and my true love's desire, to be my Queen."
Tigress gets back up and walks towards Tai Lung before the snow leopard looks at Queen Mei Hu for a while.
"Do this for Tigress's sake", said Tai Lung and Queen Mei Hu looks at Tigress for a while and takes the crown off her head before she gives it to Tai Lung. Then, the snow leopard gives the crown to Tigress.
"That's so sweet of you, Tai Lung", said Tigress and she and he hugged each other, "We'll always be there for each other, will we, Tai?"
"We will, Tigress", said Tai Lung, "I promise."
Then, the snow leopard and the tiger kung fu master start to sing "After All".
Tai Lung: Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
Tigress: I still remember when your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
Tai Lung/Tigress: After all the stops and starts
We keep comin' back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all
Tigress: When love is truly right, it lives from year to year
Tai Lung/Tigress: It changes as it goes and on the way it grows
But it never disappears
Tai Lung/Tigress: After all the stops and starts
We keep comin' back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all
Tai Lung: Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
Tigress: After all, what else is living for?
Tai Lung/Tigress: After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be forever you and me
Tai Lung/Tigress: After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be forever you and me
After all
The song ends and we see Tai Han asking Tai Lung.
"What is your second request as king and queen, your majesties?", asked Tai Han.
"Our second request", said Tigress, now queen, "is to ask all of you one question."
"Will all of you...", said Tai Lung, or King Tai Lung, "come with us to the Valley of Peace and stay there for a really long time?"
All of the snow leopards cheered in applause and agreed to their request, which resulted with Tai Lung and Tigress smiling at each other.
I'll finish this fanfic with three more chapters. The last chapter will have a cliffhanger while the next will revolve around Tai Lung and Tigress and all of the villagers of the mountains returning to the Valley of Peace where they will greet the villagers and the Furious Five along with Po, the Dragon warrior. The other next will revolve around Tai Lung talking to his father if he would help him fight on his side after a little father-son relationship talk for all time. Hopefully, I hope that some of you might get the chance to see the cliffhanger which would lead to The Phantom of the Snow Leopard 3: Tigress's Fate. So until then, enjoy and review.
