Hey! Sorry for the long wait but here is chapter 6! :D

It was morning it the Valley of Peace, the villagers were starting to wake up and the morning gong had already rang. The two tigers were walking to the barracks along the stone path watching the sun rise, Rue leaning heavily on her staff, managed to walk with her bandaged leg while Tigress sometimes had to grab her side but didn't bothered to walk at all.

When the two reached the barracks kitchen they could see their friends were already eating breakfast.

"Hey Tigress! We were going to bring you guys breakfast but now that you're her take a seat" Po said, who was the first one to notice the feline standing in the door.

"Where's Rue?" Viper began to ask but already knew the answer when Tigress helped the tiger in.

"I'm fine mast- I mean Viper" Rue answered her, almost forgetting that she didn't had to call her master anymore.

The snake gave her a reassuring smile while Po grabbed a bowl with noodles (for Tigress tofu) and placed them on the table. The two sat down and ate in silence, the others did the same but continued to stare at them.
When Tigress noticed she got annoying about it and said; "is something wrong?" shocking the others out of their thoughts.

"N-no it's just that you guys first want to kill each other and now n-not anymore" Monkey stuttered.

"We forgave each other" Rue answered, surprising everyone even more.

"Really? But look what you have done to each other" Mantis said.

"We know and it still hurts a lot but we're fine now" Rue said again.

"Well that's great!" Viper answered, happy that her friends now didn't want to kill each other anymore.

"But do you think you can train?" a voice said, making everyone jump in surprise.

"M-master Shifu, we didn't hear you coming" Tigress said.

"I did" Rue replied, making the others chuckle.

"Well as I asked before, do you think you can train?"

"I-I'm sure I can" Tigress answered her masters question.

"And you Rue?"

"M-me? B-but can I train here then?" she asked shocked.

"Yes, you can stay here, although I will keep an eye on you. But can you train?"

"Uh… I will try".

"Good, all finish your breakfast we will start at the courtyard with meditation" the grandmaster said, while walking away.

"Rue are you sure you can train with one leg?" Viper asked after a few minutes.

"Uhm… Actually, no" she answered a little nervous.

The others looked at her with worried glances but then started to walk towards the courtyard.
When they arrived at the courtyard they could see seven high tree trunks standing in a circle form, and their master standing in the middle of it.

"Today, you will practice your balance while meditating, good luck" he said while walking away.

While Po gave a groan of frustration, knowing he was still struggling with his balance, the five masters jumped at the high trunks balancing on one leg (except for Viper and Mantis).
After them, Po did the same standing on one leg, it looked like he was going to fall but he managed to regain balance.
Rue still stood there not knowing if she could to that, she hesitated for a few minutes but then also jumped with the support of her staff and stood on her good leg.

The warriors are now already standing there for two hours when they heard Po struggling again with his balance.
Rue felt sorry for him and when it looked like his trunk was going to fall, she pushed it straight again with her staff still holding her position on her trunk and eyes closed.

"Thanks" Po whispered to her, taking his position again.

"You're welcome," she whispered back still holding her eyes closed.

After another three hours master Shifu came back to check on his students (and yes Rue was now one too) to see that the five were all standing perfect on the trunks, Po was still a little wobbling on his trunk and Rue standing on her good leg with her staff balanced between her arms.

"Well done my students, you can stop now and take a break for 5 minutes but then go to the training hall".

"Yes master" they all answered.

After their master walked away, the five jumped from their trunks followed by Po, who more felled from it then jumped from it. They all looked up to Rue who was still standing there on her good leg but now with her eyes open.

"Aren't you coming down Rue?" Viper asked.

"How?" Rue asked a little louder, otherwise they couldn't have heard her.

"There goes her other leg" Mantis muttered, chuckling a little but flinched when he heard Rue shout back; "I heard that Mantis!"

"Can't you just jump?" Monkey asked.

"I'll try!" she replied.

Then jumped with back flip from her trunk landing on her good leg while supporting herself with her staff. She gave groan from the impact and then looked at others saying through her teeth "I'm okay but the impact still hurts".
When she almost fell over, Tigress caught her and helped her stand again.

"That…was…awesome!" Po yelled excited, followed by a bunch of questions about how she did it.

"Wow calm down Po, let's go to the training hall" Crane said, calming the panda down and deserving a whispered 'thank you' from the overwhelmed tiger.

The warriors walked to the training hall, Rue still leaned heavily on her staff but with the help from Crane she managed to make it.

When they arrived at the training hall Crane went to train in the Gauntlet of Wooden Warriors, deflecting the spikes while walking through it, Viper was practicing in Jade Tortoise of Wisdom, circling in it without making it tilt, Monkey was training on the Seven-Talon Rings, swinging around, Po was sparring with Mantis on the Field of Fiery Death, the poor panda almost couldn't see his opponent while avoiding the flames and as last Tigress and Rue were sparring on the Seven Swinging Clubs of Instant Oblivion,Rue was avoiding the clubs and deflecting punches from Tigress with her staff but still managed to strike Tigress sometimes of her own.

When they were done with training they went to the barracks kitchen to eat.

"Training went well today, right?" Po asked happy, while putting the food on the table.

"Yeah, I liked the meditation, it was easy" Monkey replied while eating his noodles.

"Rue how is going with your leg?" Viper asked.

"Uhm... It's going better, I think I'll be able to walk normal again tomorrow" Rue answered, through still a little unsure.

The warrior ate silent for the rest of the meal and eventually went to bed.

Master Bao continued to wait at his messenger to come back with the new soldiers for his army and also at his right hand to tell new information about the survivors and new plans.

"M-master we think we found out how many people of the Zhen village survived" Lin said while storming through the door.

"What do you mean with you think" the master asked becoming a little angry.

"W-well most of the s-survivors that survived are hiding from the outside world and some people were just never found" Lin stuttered now a little afraid for his boss reaction.

While his boss was thinking he continued; "we found out that ten people survived and three children were never found".

"Find out where they are living and also if these missing children are still alive!" the master screamed.

"Y-yes master" Lin said while turning around and heading towards the officers room.

When he reached it the other three officers, another snow leopard, a lynx and a lion greeted him.

"We need to find out if the missing children are still alive and where the other survivors are living" he said.

"Well, I suspect that only one of the three missing children survived but from the other survivors I don't know" the lion replied.

"I think they went to other villages" the lynx said.

"Okay, and who do you think the one missing child is?" Lin asked.

"I think master Tigress from the Jade Palace".

"Well that's a big guess" the other snow leopard in the room joined the conversation.

"Why do you think it's her?"

"I actually don't know but her background story fits it very well".

"What?"

"She was a orphan after all".

"Well… maybe it's worth a shot" Lin gave in.

"And the other survivors?"

"I don't think we will find them and the other two children are probably dead too".

"I will inform the master tomorrow" Lin said while walking out the officers room towards his own room.

The next morning Lin walked towards the room of his master to tell the new plans. He knocked on the door and opened it a little.
He saw that his master was awake and was waving his hand at him, letting him know that it was okay to come in.

"Master we made plans to find the survivors".

"Well what is it?"

"Uhmm… We think that one of the missing children is still alive but the other two not and we also don't know where the other ten survivors are".

"What do you mean, you don't know?" the master asked in a more threatening tone.

"W-we just don't know where they are, they could be everywhere in every village".

"And the child?"

"Yes, we think the surviving child is master Tigress of the Jade Palace".

"Why do you think that?"

"One of the officers thought that she could be it".

"Do you know how she looks like? I knew every villager of that stupid little village".

"Uhmm… we had a little research done and found a painting of her and her friends".

Lin pulled the little painting out of his vest and held it in front of his boss, the minute he saw it his face changed from anger to shock.

"T-that his…" he couldn't finish his sentence before he shouted; "get a little part of the army, send them to the Jade Palace and capture the masters! Also search every village on the way, I will find the other ten survivors!"

"Yes master!" the snow leopard said quickly before running away to prepare the little part of their army.

The sun was beginning to rise in the Valley of Peace, some villagers were starting to wake up and when the morning gong rang you could hear the students of the Jade Palace saying their greetings to there master.
While the Five stood for their rooms, Po and Rue came out of their rooms two seconds later, apologizing to their master.

"It's okay, you're getting better at it" Shifu said.

After Shifu told them that they had a short practice in the training hall and then had to help in the village, the warriors were heading towards the kitchen for breakfast.

"Order up" Po said smiling, while putting seven bowls on the table.

"Thank you Po" Viper thanked him.

"Yeah, I'm starving" Mantis replied, earning a chuckle from Monkey.

When Po had sad down and everybody was beginning to eat Tigress noticed that Rue had problems with her chopsticks, so she picked them up for her and shove them in her paw.

"Thank you" Rue whispered to her.

When they had finished their breakfast they walked to the training hall. Crane, Rue and Tigress were having a conversation and so were Viper and Po, while Monkey and Mantis were planning a prank for the day.

"What kind of prank are you planning?" Mantis whispered in his ear.

"I don't know yet, but I'll think of one" Monkey whispered back.

In the training hall Rue started to work on her balance on the Jade Tortoise of Wisdom, Tigress and Viper walked over to the Field of Fiery Death, getting ready to spar with each other, Po was practicing in the Gauntlet of Wooden Warriors, Crane was flying through the Seven-Talon Rings, avoiding several arrows but Monkey and Mantis were watching while also making plans for their prank.

"So who will be our victim?" Mantis asked with a chuckle.

"I actually don't know, We already had Po some much times and Crane wouldn't get so mad or something just as Viper" Monkey answered.

"What about Tigress?"

"Are you crazy! She will kill us!" Monkey half whispered, half yelled.

"And Rue?"

"I don't know, she only is here for a couple days and she looks a lot like Tigress".

"But maybe she only gets mad and doesn't kill us, I think it's worth a shot".

"Okay we can try" Monkey finally gave in.

"So when exactly?"

"After were done helping in the village" Monkey said, and then they both went to train on the Seven Swinging Clubs of Instant Oblivion.

As Shifu had told them this morning they had a short training and were now walking down the steps of the Jade Palace to the village.
When the group reached the bottom, with Po only tripping one time, they split up in groups.

"Hey Rue want to come with me to my dad's noodle shop?" Po asked.

"Uh… sure why not."

So the groups were made, Po and Rue were going to help Mr. Ping in his shop, Monkey, Mantis and Crane were going to help the farmers and restoring some buildings and Tigress and Viper were going to the orphanage helping the children, much to Tigress dismay who had a hard time with seeing her old home again.

"Po! There you are son," Mr. Ping yelled while running towards the panda, giving his son a hug.

"Hey dad" the panda replied while hugging back.

When the goose noticed the tiger standing behind his son he greeted Rue with a big smile saying; and there is the new girl, Rue wasn't it!"

"Yes sir" she replied with a little smile.

"Well come inside" the goose said while walking to the kitchen.

When the two warriors walked inside Po was immediately greeted by a lot of customers, asking for autographs but they stared in curiosity at the new tiger.
As soon as they had reached the kitchen Mr. Ping asked Po if he could help him with cooking and asked Rue if she could serve the orders.
Luckily for Rue she only had to wear the head and also the serving went great.

When she was balancing two bowls on both her arms and one on her head some customers even clapped for her. After their were only two bowls from the five bowls left and was she heading towards the table, the little bunny girl that sat at the table, asked; "are you the new student of the Jade Palace?"
Rue who wasn't used to getting attention from people answered a little shy; "y-yes I-I am".

"Cool! So you can train with the Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior?" the other child asked excited.

"Uh… yes" the tiger replied.

"So can you fight?" the girl asked.

"Well, I'm not so good as the masters".

"But why are you walking with a staff?"

Rue, who was now a little uncomfortable started to say; "b-because…" but was interrupted by the bunny mother saying; "she is blind".

"Really?" the girl asked but when she noticed her eyes she say it.

"Y-yes I'm blind".

"But that is nothing bad, now go on with you're work" the mother said to her with a nice and warm smile.

"Thank you" Rue replied back with a smile before turning around again ready to serve another order.

The warriors were done with helping in the village and were now gathering in front of the steps of the Jade Palace.

"So how did it go in the orphanage?" Po asked.

"It went great! And I think Tigress even had fun" Viper replied with a big smile.

"And how did the noodle shop go?" Crane asked.

"Great! Rue is really good at serving" Po answered with a big grin.

As they started to walk the stairs Rue suddenly asked; "what's wrong with your wings Crane?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, when you came flying towards us I could hear you flied different".

"One, can you hear that? And two I'm a little tired, that's all" he answered her with a curious face and a smile.

"Does anybody know where Monkey and Mantis are?" Tigress asked when they almost reached the top of the stairs.

"They told me that they were already heading towards the barracks" Crane answered.

"Okay then, let's go to the barracks too" Viper said.

"Yeah, I'm starting to get hungry" Po said while rubbing over his belly.

When the others were right behind Rue, she opened the door to the barracks only to get a bucket with ice cold water over her. She let out a high pitched scream before Tigress pulled the bucket from her head.

They could see Monkey and Mantis coming from behind a tree laughing as hard as they could.

"Are you okay Rue?" Viper asked, seeing her wet friend.

"I am, but they aren't" she hissed at the snickering primate and bug.

As soon as they hearted the last word and saw the tigers angry glare the stopped laughing.

"You think she is like Tigress?" Monkey whispered with a little scared tone.

"No she is nicer but still RUN!" after Mantis had yelled the last word, Monkey ran as fast as he could with Mantis on his shoulder, followed by a loud growl and Rue running after them.

"Do you think they will survive that?" Crane asked.

"I don't know, we'll see" Tigress said while putting the bucket away and walking into the barracks.

"Is it only me or does she really look like Tigress?" Viper asked.

"No she really looks like her, only a seven years younger version" Po said with a little chuckle, while walking with Viper and Crane inside.

After an half hour the warriors heart footsteps coming towards the kitchen, followed by a tiger and an exhausted primate and bug.

"Next time I won't be so easy one you" Rue said while sitting down.

"Never… ever… again" Monkey said out of breath making the others chuckle.

After they had eaten they headed to their rooms, tired from a busy day (especially Monkey and Mantis).

Master Shifu had followed the new student every day to make sure she didn't attack his other students again. He also had watched her train and chase Monkey and Mantis but he assumed they had pulled another prank.

Now he was a little more convinced that she could be trusted, luckily his students trusted her completely.

Rue now lived here for a couple weeks and already had a great bond with his students. The next morning had come and he was just awake but before he could wake the others Zeng came flying in.

"Grand Master Shifu we have information that a little army is coming and they want to capture the masters!" Zeng said, a little bid frustrated because of the army.

"What! Why do they want my students? And how do you know that?"

"W-we don't know but it has something to do with the old Zhen village. And the spies heard some officers talk about it"

"Okay. But I have never heard of that village before, how come?"

"T-the village was attacked twenty-seven years ago and burned down. Everybody knows nobody survived that."

"Okay, thank you for the information Zeng."

"You're welcome master Shifu" the goose said and flew away.

Shifu walked towards the rooms of his students and a few seconds later the gong rang. The warriors were all standing in front of their rooms (even Rue and Po).

"I see you two are getting better at it but I have important news, come to the courtyard after breakfast" the master said after walking away.

"Important news? What could that be?" Po asked curious, while they were walking to the kitchen.

"I don't know" Monkey replied, "but I don't think it's good news" Mantis finished the line.

After they had finished their breakfast they went to the courtyard.

"Students, today I heard that a little army his coming to the valley and wants to capture you."

"Wait, what! Do they want us all? And why do they want us?" Po asked, shocked about it.

"Well, I think they only want the masters and why they want you is not known yet."

"So what do we do master?" Viper then asked.

"The army will be here in less then a day, we will travel till we are out of the village and fight the army in the forests."

"Do we… have to… kill them?" Rue asked a little bid uncomfortable.

"No if we're lucky we don't but try to capture them maybe we can get more information. Now go pack we leave in an hour" he said before walking away to pack his own stuff.

After an hour everybody was packed and ready to travel into the forests, of course Po was still complaining over food and even when they walked he repeated every two minutes; "are we there yet?" Which annoyed the others really much.

When they found a spot to camp they set up their tents and made a campfire telling stories.

After they eat and were done talking everybody went to their tents, except for Rue, who wasn't used to tents. She crawled out of her tent when everybody was asleep and slept in a tree with big and wide branches.

So we've met the bad guys again, everybody are friends now and they have to fight a little army.
Please R&R, every advice is welcome. :)
