And now...we focus on Max patching things up with Tigress...trying to anyway.

Chapter 8: Don't Wanna Deal with This

The next day, Max and Mako walked towards the Jade Palace steps and Max was a little nervous about coming in, but he hopes that he can close this rivalry chapter down and just try to be friends for once and by the time they got to the top, they see only Master Kaizer standing there and Mako said, "Hello, Kaizer."

"Hello to you, Mako. You too, Max." Kaizer added.

"How are things in the kung-fu mastery business for you?" asked Mako.

"It's fine. What brings you by?" asked Kaizer.

Mako clears his throat and he replied, "Me and Max thought it would be a good idea if Max could just talk with Tigress, alone. Maybe straighten some issues that have never been straightened last time."

"Now's not a good time. You see...Tigress doesn't really wanna see anyone right now." Kaizer stated.

"Now is the best time. I believe that Max will at least try to talk some sense into Tigress." Mako added.

"Sir...after what happened last time, you nearly got your eye taken out by her." Kaizer responded, with his arms crossed.

"But I'm not gonna be in the same room as her. Max will. All I'm gonna do is just watch and I'm still not mad at her for punching me in the eye. I know that it was all just an accident." Mako responded.

Kaizer was still reluctant by this, but is still amazed that how Mako could forgive so quickly and easily and still thinks that him being punched in the eye by Tigress is considered an accident and he lets out a big sigh and said, "I'll let her know."

"Thanks, Kaizer." Max said, smiling.

With that, Kaizer walked back in the palace and as he made his way, he immediately saw Tigress coming out of there and he came close to her and he said, "Tigress...we got visitors for you."

"Who wants to see me?" asked Tigress.

"Maximus."

The name started to drop and Tigress froze for a second after hearing Max's name come up and it was like an explosion has erupted in her mind and the memories started flooding back on the time that she nearly killed Max out of her anger, punching Mako in the face and also treating Max with so much cruelty and underestimating him every single time and through every attempt...was all because of jealousy and envy of the cub.

Kaizer could tell that she's still not over what had happened and Tigress immediately said, "Tell them I don't want to see them."

"Max only wants to see you. He wants to talk to you about something." Kaizer added.

"Kaizer...I can't deal with this now. I don't want to see or talk to Max." Tigress said, getting increasingly frustrated.

But they were totally unaware that Max had snuck into the Hall of Heroes anyway and he tiptoed his way towards the barracks already and as he kept walking, Kaizer made his way outside to talk with Mako and as he opened the door, he noticed that Max was missing and he looked at Mako and asked, "Where'd he go?"

"He already made his way over." Mako replied.

Where'd Max go? You'll have to see!
