It's been 3 and a half weeks since the battle and since tiger was taken to the hospital, during the days in there, he was visited by his master, sister and friends from both the jade palace and the emerald palace, on the first week, tiger was told by po and tigress that on the he would walk out of the hospital, they would give him about two gifts and have some news to tell him, so today it was tiger's last day at the hospital, last night, the doctor told tiger that his wounds are just about gone and should be healed up by tomorrow, so it was a peaceful afternoon in the hospital in the valley of peace, tiger was asleep dreaming about his career and being with his friends, and he continues to remember what tigress said as she hugged him, no matter what a hero decides to do, a hero must choose what feels right, a few minutes later, a doctor entered tiger's room waking him up.
"Master Tiger.' The doctor said, tiger opened his eyes and let out a yawn as he stretched his arms with no problem.
"Yes doctor ?" tiger asked waking up from his slumber, the doctor looked at his clipboard and looks at it's status and looked at him with a smile.
"Well, it looks like all of your injuries are healed, you should be able to fight again now." The doctor said, tiger sat up and looked at his arms and face which was now unwrapped, there was no longer claws marks or any scratches on his arms, he even looked at his updated x rays, his bones were repaired and were ready to be used again.
"I see, this is great, thanks doctor." Tiger said smiling, as he stood up from his bed, the doctor started walking back towards the door before letting out a reminder to tiger.
"I know and no problem, anyway, just check out at the front desk by the entrance and your free to go." The doctor said, tiger bowed to him with a smile, he looked over to a table to see something wrapped up in gift wrap, he walked to it to see a scroll next to it, he picked it up and rolled it open, he smiled at what it was from, it was from po.
Hey there tiger
On my recent visit, the doctor told me that you should be out in 3 days, so I went all over town and bought something to remake your clothes, your old ones were pretty ripped and used up after that battle, I'm sure you'll like them, no one saw them yet but I put the work in this, be sure to thank me when you come back to the palace, it was shipped in today when I came to the hospital yesterday when I asked the nurse to put this gift to your room, like I said, I hope you love it.
Sincerely, your good buddy, forever and always
Po Ping
after reading it, tiger opened the wrapping, his smile went even bigger, they were clothes that matches his old ones perfectly, except there was a couple changes, the black shirt was very soft like pajamas and the flames were made of silk, and the pants were just plain red like his old ones but it had the same material as his new shirt, he slipped out of his hospital gown, and tried them one, they matched his size, and they feel great, they made him feel like he was a new warrior and ready for action.
"oh my gosh, po you're a great friend, they feel great and fit me perfectly, WOO HOO, I can't wait for them to see me all healed up and ready for battle." Tiger said smiling, after that he checked out at the front desk and left the hospital, he then started dragging his feet to the jade palace, he took about 7 minutes to walk up the stairs to the main structure, he walked up to the doors and took in a deep breath.
"This is it, I can't wait to meet them again for my celebration." Tiger said, he walked up to the doors and slowly opened up, after he did, his master, his sister and his friends were standing at the moon pool with smiles on their faces, when he entered four of the five hugged him, making them fall to the floor, after a few seconds they stood up, and broke the hug laughing, tigress was the next one to hug him and then it was po's turn to hug him, after a few seconds they released from each other and tiger looks at him in the eye.
"Po, thanks for what you've done, you gave me strength, you gave me courage, you helped me train a lot to earn this, and you're a great dragon warrior, and by the way, thanks for the new uniform, I feel like I'm powered up and ready for whats next for me." Tiger said as he jumped up and did 3 back flips before landing back on his feet.
"It's no biggy, it's great to see you all healed up." Po replied, tigress walked to him placing her paw on his shoulder.
"Tiger, I know we've fought, argued and bicker over things and even though you've disappointing me in the past couple days, you did struggle but you proved me wrong, you are my brother, and great warrior and I'm proud of you and I'm glad that you're all better now.' Tigress said, she then hugs him and tiger hugs her back for just about the first time, after they release, she and po decided that it was time to tell him the news.
"okay tiger, you know that me and ti have been going out for a long time right ?" po asked as he embraced tigress with his left arm wrapped around her waist.
"Yes, I've heard, and you did tell me.' Tiger said listening closely, preparing what and tigress are going to say.
"Well, we've been dating for like a year and a half and we have news for you." Tigress said, tiger crept closer saying 'what is it ?" he asked, po and tigress looked at each other lovely and said it out loud together.
"Were getting married " po and tigress said, tiger was lighting up with happiness and almost fainted.
"are you serious ?" tiger asked excitedly, po and tigress nodded and decided to add something to it.
"and it get's even better." Po said, that when tigress decided to finish for him.
"it's possible that we can give birth to a couple babies." Tigress said, that when tiger got really excited.
"If that does happen, SWEET, I'm going to be an uncle." Tiger called out, after that he congratulated them and that's when he walks up to master shifu and kai.
"Master kai." Tiger said bowing to him as kai bowed back, confused about something tiger lets out a question.
"hey were is the five of your's ?" tiger asked, kai walks up to him and told him what happened.
"Oh they did wanted to see you, but they were busy fighting and training for the past couple days so I gave the a day off today." Master kai said, shifu then walked forward to tell tiger something.
"Master tiger, me, kai and my students worked hard to give you one last present for your victory, come with me, all of you as well." Shifu said, kai, po, tiger and the five followed him to the palace arena, there was some stairs leading up to nowhere, tiger walks up it and he was surprised and happy to see the arena filled with the villagers shouting "TIGER, TIGER, TIGER, TIGER" which made him feel very flattered and made him laugh a little bit.
"What the heck is this man ?" tiger asked as he laughing a bit, shifu and kai walk by both of his sides to explain.
"You see master tiger, since I told the villagers about tai lung's second defeat and you were the new warrior around, they were relieved and they thought they would thank you in a special way for a celebration of tai lung's freedom, so it seems you now are one of the fan favorites on the list." Shifu said, that's when master kai spoke up.
"And, my other students are happy with your achievement, so since people are now fans of yours, you may have a speech." Master kai said as he motioned to the bottom of the steps to the center of the arena, tiger bows to kai then shifu, then he jumps down to the ground, po and the five approach to the edge to watch and listen closely to what tiger has to say, tiger at first shouted out "Villagers, PEOPLE, LISTEN UP." Causing the villagers to quiet down, that's when tiger walked into the center of the arena to make his speech to the villagers and kung fu masters.
"Citizens of the valley of peace, and the masters of the jade palace, there has been a lot going around in this peaceful place, and for about 2 or 3 times I helped out to solve them, I remembered at a young age I was a big fan of kung fu and it became a big part of my life, and now, kung fu is my life, I got to fight strong villains, and even the most recognizable one tai lung and from that day up to today I lived out a fantasy, as of today there is a big life and a big career ahead of me, by the way I didn't defeat tai lung for the title of the dragon warrior or to steal the title, I did it just to make peace to china and dedicate it to master oogway." Tiger said, he then motions to the stairs and decided to give a speech about them.
"You see the furious five, the dragon warrior, and the masters above those stairs ?" tiger asked as a start making the crowd nod and say yes.
"Those are my best friends, and master tigress, is my sister." When tiger said that, the people were pretty surprised but cheered a little bit at that moment.
"Ever since I started this, my sister and I fought a lot because she was only trying to protect me and she was afraid that if I did this I would be killed in a fight but I proved her wrong, but she's a great sister, a fun loving kung fu master and a best relative I can have out there." Tiger said looking at tigress with a smile, tigress smiled too with a simple nod, inside herself, she was saying "Thank you brother, that was sweet of you." Then tiger motion to his masters.
"Master shifu and master kai trained me through a lot as well, master shifu sent me to kai to make me the leader of a 3rd furious five and got me started to achieve my dream, shifu even partly trained me to prepare for a fight if a villain came anywhere near here, they are great master and they deserve a lot of respect." Tiger said motioning to shifu and kai, making the crowd cheer for them as well, finally he motioned to his best friend he could ever wish for, po.
"And finally, the dragon warrior, po." Tiger started making the crowd cheer big time for po.
"Ever since my first visit here, I remember meeting him as a fan of the dragon warrior, from that day on, we became friends, we played together, talked to each other, joked around, and we just had a lot fun, and now me and him are best friends, but come to the point, he is a great dragon warrior, he deserves everything he did to protect us and he is a fun loving panda who shows love, passion and dedication to every villager and this valley, even in gongmen city, so I think he should continue on being the dragon warrior." Tiger said, that's when the crowd went wild as po waved to them, tiger then turn to the crowd.
"As for me, I became a warrior of my own, and I am living at master kai's emerald palace to train and spend more time with my friends over there, I would like to live here, but the emerald palace is where I belong right now, and I think six of these warriors who live here is enough, but I will visit this place as many times as I can, but anyway, I tiger, but you can call dragon warrior jr, po number 2, or po jr, nickname me anything you want, but to the point, I just want to say thank you so much to my fans, my family and even every warrior and friend for getting me into this and for the support, and thanks to oogway for making this happen and for getting me into this and to make me achieve my dream this whole thing, and this is also because of every one of you and thanks to po and tigress for looking out for me, even my master, masters and my friends and thanks to this whole thing, I will forever continue this awesome dream until I retire and the day I die, now that i am healed, new and improved and ready for what's next, nobody's gonna stop me, valley of peace, my friends, my sister, my masters and my family, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, FOR MAKING ME TO EARN THIS GOAL, I LOVE YOU ALL AND KUNG FU RULES THE WORLD FOREVER, SPOKEN BY ME, MASTER TIGER." tiger said as he finished his speech with a bang, the crowd was on their feet and they were going wild, they were excited and please by his speech, tiger looked back to see his friends, sister and master clapping and smiling at him for what he said, tiger than leaps into the air and lands on top of the entrance roof of the arena, tiger bends down for about 2 seconds, at the moment where he stood straight up raising his fist's up in the air, fireworks went off and it even showed a yin and yang symbol like it showed in gongmen city after the battle of shen was over, the crowd, even the kung fu masters were cheering him and they were on their feet, and tiger deserves it, he deserves his victory against tai lung and every minute of this celebration, and now a new life for him begins.
A few hours after his celebration, it was time for tiger to depart the valley of peace and return to his home, the emerald palace, they were standing at the entrance of the jade palace, tiger stood at the stairs with master kai to his side to walk back to the emerald palace with him, as po, the five and shifu stood at the closed doors of the hall of heroes.
"Master shifu it was an honor to meet you and good luck in your future, I sure oogway is proud of you for everything you've done." Master kai said bowing to shifu.
"It was a big pleasure master kai, good luck to you as well." Shifu said bowing back to hims, tiger than looked down to his master.
"Master kai you my start going, I'll meet you at the bottom of the stairs." Tiger said bowing to kai, master kai bowed back and started making his way down the stairs, tiger then walked over to four of the five and he said his goodbye's to them first with a "Good luck man, you rock." From mantis, "be sure to come back soon sweetheart." From viper, "I'll see you around tiger, be sure to improve yourself." From crane, and "keep rocking on what you got tiger, you're a funny guy as well, you rule." From monkey, then he walked to tigress smiling
"Hey brother, looks like this is goodbye for now." Tigress said starting to feel sad, tiger places both of his paws on her shoulders and looks at her in the eyes.
"Sis, please be nice to po, don't do anything stupid and please be a good mate too him, I wish you a great life with him." Tiger said, tigress shedded a tear before replying.
"I promise brother, and please be good to master kai and your friends, I love you." Tigress said in almost a sad tone, tiger hugs her and she hugged back, they embraced for like a minute before releasing, tiger padded her shoulder before moving over to po.
"Hey buddy, before I leave, I have a gift for you from me." Tiger said, po was lighting up with excitement, he couldn't wait to see it.
"Really, what is it ?" po asked excitedly, tiger reached behind himself and pulled out something that made po shine up like a light bulb, tiger was holding an action figure of himself, it matched him and his outfit perfectly, it totally belonged to po's action figure collection.
"WHOA, an action figure of you, this is awesome, I have another gift for you too." Po said, tiger smiled and nodded to his compliment of his new action figure but was now surprised that po has another gift for him, po reached behind himself, and pulled out his own action figure of himself and gave it to tiger.
"Your giving me an action figure of you ? but this is your action figure po." Tiger said holding the po action figure. "Yes po, why give it to him if it's yours ?" tigress agreed, po just smiled, then replied.
"It may be awesome, plus I think it should be a good memory for tiger to keep so he can remember me by, plus I can make another one of myself." Po said making a point, with that tiger said "oh good point." And gave him one last hug for now.
"I love you to nothing man, and I wish you and tigress the best even though I will still be around." Tiger said, after they released, po kept one paw on his shoulder giggled a bit.
"Hey what are friends for ?" po said with a little bit of a giggle, tiger giggled back.
"Friends, we are way better than that man." Tiger said, po was surprised and confuse by what he said, but that was before he reached out his paw to him.
"We're brother's." tiger said, po smiled big and gave him a big hand shake.
"Thanks tiger, I'll see you around." Po said, after that, tiger walked over to shifu.
"Master tiger, all I can say is, good luck in your future and stay strong." Shifu said, tiger bowed to him saying "Thanks master shifu" tiger said, shifu bowed back and tiger made his way to the stairs, before he walked down them, he gave one last look and smile to his friends and sister and waved goodbye, with that he walked the the stairs making his way back to his home, the emerald palace.
"Do you think he'll be okay ?" po asked, tigress then pulls him in and kisses him on the lips.
"He will po, I'm sure he will." Tigress said smiling lovely at her panda, and kissed him again, what they didn't know is that look back while walking down to see them kiss, she smiled loving the moment and went back to walking down the stairs.
After it was all done, tiger was enjoying what he is now, a fan favorite, meeting his fans, signing autographs and kicking some bad guy butt, and his next next adventure will be waiting for him and he will be ready to face whatever comes next.
As for po and tigress, their relationship is going well, but their wedding will hopefully happen as soon as possible but they need to invite tiger by the time it happens, and I'm sure that they'll be an awesome family, but so far they are lives are very great and we'll see what next adventure lies ahead for po, tigress, shifu, the furious five and even master tiger who also have a happy life ahead of them, once again china was saved, but will be prepared for what comes next.
