Chapter-5

I loved your reviews!

Here you go. New chapter updated.

Tigress and Boar were in their prison. Boar was sitting in a corner, sharpening his dagger. He gave a quick glance to Tigress, who was sitting on the bench, maybe thinking something. Since she got trapped in that cell, every minute felt like an hour, and every hour felt like a day. How longer she have to live like this? When will Po free her? Is Po okay? The last thought made her even more worried.

Boar looked back to his dagger, watching his reflection on the blade. He had almost stopped trying to attack her after seeing her sudden violent action. Not only because of the jailer's warning; he was cautious. Last time when he said those words for the panda, Tigress had almost killed him. One thing he'd figured out was that there was one weakness of Tigress, and that was Po. Boar still had a bit of fear of Tigress, because he had known that if Tigress wanted, she can kill him, but she won't because it'll only seal her punishment in this prison, and she'll never be free. Same was for the Boar, he couldn't just try and kill Tigress, it wasn't easy and too dangerous. But if he don't, that won't make much difference either, because if the panda somehow managed to free her, Tigress will still make him pay for what he has done to her. Not only Tigress was unsafe with Boar, Boar too was. He had to think again, because Tigress wasn't someone to be killed in one blow.

He looked at Tigress again after a moment, she was leaning at the wall with her eyes closed, breathing deeply. Maybe she had fallen asleep. She almost had no sleep since she was jailed. Boar smirked, as something evil went through his mind. "This is a great opportunity."

"Ouch!" Po groaned, as Viper put some herbs on his wounds.

"Po, we told you that you can't fight her injured. Look, she injured you even more." Viper said.

"Viper, I did it for Tigress." Po replied.

"We offered to help."

"But Tigress was arrested because of me. I should be the one who will fix this mistake, shouldn't it?"

"But you see, you ended up getting beaten up. What will you do now?"

Po sat up, looking at Viper seriously. "I promised Tigress that I will free her, and I will do it. At any cost."

Viper raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" she asked. "What are you thinking you're going to do?"

Po looked at her and smiled. "You will see."

Tigress opened her eyes as she woke up from her doze. "Oh no, did I fell asleep?" She asked herself. "I should have been-" she was about to rub her eyes to clear her vision until she realized that she couldn't move her paws. "What the…" She looked down and was shocked. Her hands and legs were tied up. She struggled to get free. "Who did that to me?!"

"Shh! Don't be so loud." Boar's voice came. Tigress looked at him and growled.

"Oh, so you took the opportunity to tie me up when I fell asleep?!" she snarled. "How the hell I did not woke up?!"

"Let me guess, deep snooze?"

"Shut up and tell me why you did this!"

The Boar smirked. "Because killing you is not as easy as I thought." He said evilly. Tigress gasped. "You thought I will let you get out of this prison easily? I told you you're going to pay for this!" he stated, pointing at the claw mark on his face. "And not even your pathetic panda is going to save you."

Tigress growled. "I said don't say anyt-" Boar covered her mouth or the guards might hear her. He tied a strip of cloth around her mouth to keep her shut.

"Now keep this mouth of yours shut." He replied as Tigress started mumbling. "Now I will show you what it is like to mess with Boar the unstoppable, the invis…insiv… urggh, forget it!"

CRASH!

A crashing sound came, catching the two's attention. "What was that?" Boar asked, as he heard some screaming and crashing sounds from the outside. One more thing that they heard was-

HIIIYAA!

A kung fu yell. Tigress started mumbling loudly as she knew whose voice it was.

"Hey! Don't make noise!" Boar tried to silence her, but she didn't. Finally, Boar growled and punched her head. She yelped, which was not even hearable and hit the ground. Boar rushed to the cell door to see what was going on until a few unconscious guards were thrown violently on the cell door, breaking it open. When the dust cleared, a big figure stepped inside the cell, which was revealed to be none other than Po.

"Tigress! I am here for you!" He said entering the cell, he saw Tigress on the ground, tied up. "Tigress?" he asked, confused until Boar, who was hiding in the shadows, threw a punch at him, sending him down. Po got up and looked back to see who punched him.

"So, I think you're the Dragon Warrior that she was talking about." Boar guessed.

"Yes, and I guess you're the Boar who's been bothering Tigress all this time." Po replied angrily. "You can't get away with that." Boar growled and grabbed the half unconscious Tigress and took out a dagger.

"Do not move or I will cut off this little kitten's throat." He threatened. But Po wasn't going to be fooled so easily. He had to make the Boar pay for his deed. Po sent a roundhouse kick at his wrist at full speed, knocking off the dagger and punched the Boar right in the face, freeing the feline. Boar was about to strike back, until he noticed the crashed gate on the ground that Po broke, he picked it up, throwing it on the panda. "Will see you later, panda." He commented before rushing out of the prison to free himself first.

Po somehow managed to free himself from under the gate with some struggle, and walked up to Tigress. "Tigress, are you alright?" He asked with concern in his voice. He picked up the dagger that Boar dropped, cut the ropes with it, freeing her. "Tigress, open your eyes. Are you okay?" He called out again. Tigress slowly opened her eyes.

"Po… What are you doing here?"

"I came to free you. Are you okay now?"

"Um…" Tigress nodded, as Po helped her to sit back up. He rubbed her head. "I…I fell asleep… then he tied me up. Then, then he hit my head and I…"

"Shh…Calm down Tigress." Po calmed her. "It's okay. We can go now." He grabbed her paw and suggested to leave. "Now come on. We gotta get out of here before-" suddenly he realized that Tigress just stood her ground and did not follow him. "Tigress?" he asked as Tigress just stared at the ground. "What's wrong?"

"Po," she started. "I thought you were going to capture Fenghuang and free me without breaking the law. Then what's all this?" Po looked away, not really wanting to tell her the truth that he couldn't capture Fenghuang. "So, did you capture her?"

"No, I didn't. I...couldn't. She took the advantage of my injury, managed to get away, and so I-"

"So, you decided to break into here, free me unlawfully and give yourself the honorable title of a criminal, didn't you?" She almost scolded.

Po lowered his head. "Look Tigress, I knew how bad condition you were in here, so I decided to free you first."

"And you're also stuck in the same trap as me."

Po sighed. "Tigress, please can we talk about this later and get out of here first?" he suggested impatiently. They needed to get out soon or they might get into trouble. Suddenly, a few more guards rushed towards them. And here comes more trouble. Po sighed with frustration. "I told you we had to get out fast." He commented before preparing to fight the guards. As the three guards attacked him with spears, Po managed to get the hold of one of the spears, striking the guard's face. Another one attacked him a hammer, Po swept his feet, causing him to fall over his own comrade, the hammer fell on them. The third guard stroke from behind, pinning Po at the wall by a spear. Po struggled to get free but couldn't, the guard's hold was too firm. "Tigress… a little help?" he squeaked, as the guard was almost choking him. Po was about to get the situation out of hand until the guard suddenly stopped in his place and hit the floor. Po breathed heavily as he saw Tigress looking down at the guard; she just pressure pointed him unconscious. "Thanks."

"If I had to break out of this cell, I would have done it myself." She commented, as Po caught his breath.

"Tigress, we will talk about this later. Let's get out of here."

To Be Continued.

For someone who asked if I am going to continue 'The Lost Spear' it has been discontinued. That story isn't progressing as much I expected, and there are more than 2 stories I am focusing right now. Maybe I will continue it sometime in future.

Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter, please take time and tell me what you thought.

And Merry Christmas and happy new year in advance.
