This is it...this is a little sample of what's gonna happen that leads to Mako talking with Tigress.
Chapter 24: Ready for the Talk
A few days have gone by and Mako went on his way to the Jade Palace alongside Max by his side and Mako was more than determined to tell Tigress the full honest truth and he wasn't worried about how she'll take it as long as he's willing to put the rivalry between her and Max to rest and as they walked up the steps, Max was feeling a little nervous about this because he doesn't like to be in the middle when an argument ensues, but Mako assured him that everything will be fine.
By the time they reach the top of the palace, they see Shifu, Takami, Layla, Kiba, Ryo and Kaizer standing there and they stood in front of them and bowed to them and Mako said, "Good morning, everyone."
"Good morning, Mako." everyone replied.
"You're here for Tigress?" asked Shifu.
"Yes, sir. We're gonna resolve this rivalry once and for all because what had happened a few months ago was unfortunate, but we are never ones to hold a grudge. Know this...I'm gonna be as hard on Tigress as I can be, but I'm also gonna be honest and very truthful to this fact. So I'm not holding back." Mako answered.
Shifu could tell that Mako has meant every single word to say and if anyone can get through to Tigress, it could be Mako. Though it'll be very unlikely if he'll succeed, there's really no other choice left and Shifu said, "She's at the training hall."
"Thank you. While I talk with Tigress, I want you to keep an eye on Max for me." Mako stated.
Layla and Kiba were the ones to take Max in almost immediately and Kiba said, "You can count on us, Mr. Bushido-Akio. We love Max like crazy."
"We'll look out for him." Layla added.
Mako nods his head in response and he walked towards Max and he said, "Be good, Max."
"I will." Max replied.
With that, Mako walks towards the palace and heads straight for the training hall with no turning back and he knew that it was gonna be for Max and Tigress as well and as he walks towards the courtyard, he knew for a fact that this was gonna be the big time to tell it like it is and whatever the outcome, Mako will know that he's done the right thing to end this rivalry.
He walks towards the steps and opens the door and as he walks in there, he sees Tigress punching a dummy out of frustration and he stood there, waiting until she's finished...but that didn't seem to bode well because Tigress looked up and saw Mako standing there, looking very serious.
"What do you want?" asked Tigress.
"We need to talk. And I'm not taking no for an answer." Mako said, in a very serious tone.
Prepare to get ready for some drama! The talk with Mako and Tigress is coming!
