Chapter-2: An Old Enemy
New chapter! Hope you'll like it!
Tiress was being forced to the Chor Ghom Prison. Both her paws were chained behind, also there were chains around her neck. There were two guards behind her who held the chains, while three of them had spears in their hands, pointing it to her to be sure she doesn't attacks. Tigress continued glaring at each guard one by one. She wasn't afraid…but she was worried. She was going to prison for something she could never do even in her dreams.
"Why aren't you guys listening to me? Just give me a chance to explain." Tigress said, expecting the guards to give her at least one chance.
"Don't open your mouth until you're asked to. You're a criminal." The guard behind said.
"I am not a criminal. I cannot try to kill Po even in my worst nightmares. How are you so sure I am the one who did this? It was Fenghuang."
"Firstly, if it was Fenghuang, we should have seen her talon prints on the ground. Secondly, we found your paws covered in blood. Also, you're the only one around there who has claws. And finally, if you were trying to save the panda from Fenghuang, why the hell there is no scratch or wound on your body?"
"Firstly, Fenghuang didn't even landed on the ground, she was flying and that's why there was no footprint. Also, the few of them faded because of the storm she made. Secondly, there were blood stains on my paws because I was trying to help Po. And finally, I didn't get wounded because Fenghuang wasn't there to fight me; she was there to fight Po."
Tigress had given all logical reason she could give, but she knew they were not going to listen to her. The guards just ignored her, they unchained her paws and threw her inside the cell and locked it.
"Please, once again, this is a misunderstanding!" she said, holding the bars and trying to convince the guards. The guard just smacked her with a small staff, she staggered backwards.
"Keep your voice down now! I don't wanna hear anymore of your excuses!" The guard scolded and walked away. Tigress looked at the bars for a moment. She was behind them, for nothing. She looked around in cell, it was dark and she could barely see anything other than empty space and old walls.
Tigress closed her eyes tightly. There was nothing she could do. She sat on the bench behind her, covering her face with her paws. Maybe she can do nothing but stay in that cell for the rest of her life. Or maybe not? Maybe Shifu will do something. Who knows? Then another thought came to her mind, what about Po? Will he be okay?
There was nothing but silence until Tigress heard a voice.
"Well, well, check out who's here." The voice was deep and dark. Tigress lifted her head up, she felt like she had heard that voice before, but she couldn't recognize it. She stood up.
"Who…who's there?!" She asked, trying to sound stoic, yet her voice was shivering. Not because she was afraid, but because she was trying to control her tears a moment ago before hearing the mysterious voice. Tigress could now see a figure, a big figure. Bigger than even herself.
"Guess you didn't recognized." The figure said, stepping towards her. "I am unstoppable. I am invis…insiv…" the figure stuck at his words, which confused Tigress. "Dang, I still can't pronounce it! Forget it. I am Boar!" it was revealed to be Boar, Tigress's first opponent she fought 10 years ago. Tigress's eyes widened.
"B…Boar?"
He giggled evilly. "I have been waiting to meet you again, Tigress. I am pretty sure you remember who did this!" He said angrily, pointing at his snout, where he once had two big teeth, that the Furious Five broke with a side kick. "Well, I don't see why you're here. Did you become a criminal?"
"It's you who is a criminal. I've been locked here for a false crime."
"False crime? Or are you just trying to convince that you're innocent?" Boar said and smirked. "So, did you murder someone?"
Tigress growled. "I said I am not a criminal! I have been mistaken for someone else!"
"Then I think we are gonna have some time to spend together." He replied, clenching his fist.
Tigress raised her paws in defense. "Stay back, Boar. I beat you 10 years ago, but now I am a full trained kung fu master, I can beat you single-handed now." She threatened. The Boar smirked.
"Oh? You thing I am doing nothing in this prison from past 10 years?" Boar said, throwing a punch at Tigress that she didn't expected. "I have gotten stronger!" Tigress growled and took her stance. The Boar stepped forward, throwing a few punches on Tigress that she managed to block. She finally grabbed his hand, pulling him close and punching him right in the stomach. He groaned. The Boar growled and threw a fake punch, and kicking her as she was thrown to the wall. The Boar reached her and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up. "I am gonna make you pay for your every single punch!"
At the Jade Palace,
Po's opened his eyes slowly, as he got his conscious back.
"Where am I?" He asked, as he looked beside to see Viper, who slightly smiled.
"You're feeling okay now?"
"Pretty much." He replied. He noticed bandages on his chest. "I just remember that Fenghuang attacked us and stroke me with her claws, what happened after that?"
"Umm…" Viper thought how to say.
"I will tell you, Panda." Shifu's voice came as he entered the room. "Unfortunately, some guards from the Chor Ghom Prison reached there after Fenghuang left, they saw claw marks on your chest with Tigress by the side, they thought it was Tigress who attacked you and they arrested her."
"WHAT?!" Po asked, outraged. "What do you mean ARRESTED her?! She had nothing to do with it!"
"I know she didn't. But they didn't listened to her." Shifu said as his ears dropped, upset. "Nor me."
"They just arrested her and you did nothing about it?" Po asked with a hint of rage in his voice.
"The situation was uncontrollable." He defended.
"That's true." Viper added.
"If that's it, I will go to the Chor Ghom Prison myself and bring her back." Po said, determined.
"Po, you're injured. You need to rest. We will-" Viper started but got interrupted.
"No, Tigress went to jail because of my fault. And I will fix my mistake." Po replied confidently. "But first, I need to meet Tigress."
