Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Tiger. Enjoy the 3000-word chapter. I don't own Kung Fu Panda, DreamWorks does.

(Jade Palace.)

Kiba trained on the steps to the Jade Palace, he had been trying to master the last of the Charka Paths he had yet to unlock. he had known Chi and Charka to be similar since both were spiritual in nature, that however, didn't mean much considering that Kiba had been absent to the training for the one charka he could never fully master.

The heart charka, the ability to love or feel joy and inner peace, something that had been Kiba laugh when he remembered it. He turned back to Master Shifu, it had been 3 days since Po had had left, and Mantis and Crane, who Shifu had sent to find Kai, much to Tigress and Kiba's concern, had vanished.

One of Kiba's ears twitched, and it wasn't the arrows that had been sailing towards the Jade Palace from all over China. It had been a sound that Kiba's ears wouldn't mistake.

The sound of wings, but not regular wings.

"Look!"

Viper yelled before Kiba ducked, he was luck not to be decapitated as the hooded and masked wolf looked at Crane and Mantis, who had returned alive and well to the Jade Palace.

Only Kiba gasped upon seeing the Jade covering Crane and Mantis's bodies.

Then they had heard the sound of chains striking the floor over and over, Green smoke flooded the doors to the courtyard.

"Nice… Tacky… Very Tacky…"

Kai stated as he walked into the courtyard, he looked over the Five and then to Kiba.

"You're the one who called me out… And now here I am… How fitting of you to be groveling at Oogway's feet."

Kai growled out as Shifu went to speak up before Kiba growled and drew his blades in a x shape, he held them in a reverse grip.

"How dare you come here and disrespect Oogway, you have no right!"

Kiba growled as he looked at the statue, Oogway reminded him of Master Heiwa, to have Kai come in here and disrespect the history of a Noble Warrior made his blood boil.

"I have no right…. I fought by his side…. Loved him like a brother… HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! NOW… I will take everything from him…. Besides, what's a mutt like you care about that old man? You're not around here, I can tell by your clothing and weapons…"

Kai sneered in a tone that angered Tigress.

"Don't you dare mock him!"

Tigress growled at the Bull who simply laughed it off and looked at Tigress.

"Or what, little kitten?"

Kai sneered as Kiba roared in anger and lunged at Kai, he parried his jade swords before flip kicking him in the chin and knocking him back.

"So much energy… But that isn't Chi… I've heard about that before…. Bring them to me… The Mutt is mine."

Kai ordered Crane and Mantis who began to fight the others, Tigress and Shifu leapt at Kai to support Kiba who started to parry the swords before sheathing his and firing the crossbows strapped to his wrists.

"You will fall… And kid… You have spunk… Makes me sad I'll have to kill you for that…"

Kai stated as he charged at Kiba, Tigress parried his charge with a kick as she lunged at him only to be kicked aside as Kiba growled and roundhouse kicked Kai.

"Oh… You love her…. Then you lovebirds can die together!"

Kai hissed as he swung at them, knocking Monkey away as Kiba punched at him, Kai punched him back, causing Kiba to slam into the wall and hiss in pain as Tigress palm strike Kai in the face, making him stumble back.

"That's for calling me a little kitten…"

Tigress stated before she leapt into the air and kicked Kai as hard as she could in the face again, making an explosion of energy.

"AND THAT WAS FOR HURTING MY BOYFRIEND!"

Tigress growled as she unsheathed her claws and lunged at Kai, thoroughly enraged.

Kiba growled and used the time he had been given to close his eyes as he tried using the same technique Heiwa had taught him in Japan.

His paws glowed white hot, Kiba might not have mastered Charka yet like Master Heiwa was, but some of his moves he had taken to heart.

He turned to see Crane slam into Tigress and knock her back as he growled and lunged at Kai with his blades, the energy from his paws flowed through the blades.

Kai and Kiba slashed at each other, Kiba knocked his blades back as he watched Money try to restrain Mantis and remind him that they were friends.

That only succeeded in Mantis knocking Monkey into Tigress.

"I'll die before you destroy Oogway's memory!"

Kiba growled as he slashed and blocked Kai's blades, he flipped a blade out of his paws and slashed Kai with the Charka energy.

Kai stumbled back, slash marks in his fur.

"Why are you fighting so hard? Oogway took everything from me, everything!"

Kai hissed before forcing Kiba back, Shifu lunged at Kai to protect Kiba.

He was knocked backwards as he gasped at something on Kai's belt.

Kai turned back to Crane and Mantis who had pinned down Money and Viper.

"Bring them to me."

Kai growled as his claws glowed green, The Jombies corrupted Masters dragged Monkey and Viper to him as he turned them into amulets.

"NO!"

Kiba yelled as he flipped into the air and came down for a kick that would have shattered Kai's skull if it connected.

That was when Kiba saw the thing that had been making Shifu gasp and flinch in horror and he gasped.

On Kai's belt, was an amulet of Oogway.

Kiba faulted as Kai grabbed him with his chains and dragged him to the ground as he looked him in the eye.

"So weak…So much potential, so, so much skill… But you're so weak…"

Kai stated as he stared at Tigress and Shifu and grinned.

"Now watch your boyfriend die, little kitten."

Kai hissed as Tigress lunged at him only for Kai to knock them back with one of his blades, Shifu met a similar fate.

Tigress could only watch Kiba get kicked in the ribs before pulling him into a headbutt and then slamming him into the rock arch over the door then the other before pulling him back and punching him, it sounded like rocks being shattered.

Tigress could only watch her boyfriend fly through the doors and down the stairs, bouncing down the stairs, motionless as he rolled down the stairs.

Tigress was so stunned by this that she didn't even notice Kai's blades slam into the Oogway statue.

"I will show you the true power of Chi… Brother."

Kai hissed as he pulled and the statue came free as Kai started to swing the statue through the air, it crashed through the Jade Palace and rolled down the stairs towards where Kiba had landed.

"Oogway… Kiba… Forgive me…."

Shifu said with tears in his eyes as he looked at where Kiba had landed, the proud and brave wolf looked broken in half if not dead.

"I don't know, Oogway… Do you forgive him?"

Kai sneered as he marched up to the Red Panda.

"You may have destroyed the Jade Palace… But you will never… Win… Others… There will always be someone to stop you."

Shifu hissed as Kai wrapped a sword around his throat and laughed.

"Like who? The wolf? He's maimed if not dead, and his soulmate will soon join him…. The Panda after that…. His chi is strong... Just like his friends spirt… But I will take it just the same."

Kai snarled before absorbing Shifu into an amulet as Tigress watched in horror, she spotted the scroll from before and grabbed it.

"Kiba… I'm sorry, Po, you better be ready."

Tigress said before sprinting down the path, Kai looked at the destruction he had wrought and smiled.

The Pandas would soon follow them into oblivion.

(With Tigress.)

Tigress gasped at what she saw, next to the statue of Oogway, was Kiba, the wolf laid motionless on the stone steps as she rushed to his side.

"Kiba, Kiba… Look at me, please…"

Tigress pleaded as tears began to well up in her eyes, the wolf looked like he had been beaten against a wall with fists made of steel. His eye was swollen due to a blow that had knocked his mask off and next to him, his arm looked dislocated if not worse.

His leg looked like it couldn't support his wait and he was bleeding from his chin. Tigress started to cry, and for once, she didn't care if someone saw her, her master was gone, her home was destroyed, her friends were robbed from her and now her Soulmate laid broken and probably dead.

She felt like just letting Kai find and finish her off when she felt Kiba grab her arm weakly as his good eye looked at her.

"Ti… Your… Ok…"

Kiba wheezed as he tried to stand, his right leg gave out and Tigress moved to support him.

"Don't move, your hurt too badly."

Tigress stated as Kiba looked at her, he grabbed his scarf and helmet and put them in a bag on his waste as he pulled his hood down with his good arm.

"Master Shifu?"

Kiba asked as he wheezed this out once more, he felt like Kai had beaten him in half with his bare hoofs.

"Gone… Kai took them, he took them all and the Jade Palace…"

Tigress said as they walked down the stairs, Tigress didn't care if Kai saw them, he wanted the Pandas, killing or capturing them wouldn't serve his goals.

"Po…We need… To find… Po…"

Kiba wheezed out as they walked, Kiba sniffed the air, he could smell Po as he directed Tigress with his good hand.

"Kiba… Stay with me… Please."

Tigress pleaded as Kiba wheezed out a laugh and turned to look at her.

"I'm here… Love you…"

Kiba said as he grasped her paw holding his shoulder as they made it out of the village, neither saw Kai, the warlord was probably savoring having destroyed the valley's defenders and taken out the Jade Palace.

"You're going to be ok, I'm going to get you to Po and they will heal you."

Tigress said as Kiba chuckled, he leaned against her more as they walked into the mountains, Kiba's leg still hurt but he was finding it more and more easier to walk as they got further away.

"Will they… Then we turn around and march back with an army of Pandas to face Kai?"

Kiba teased as they walked, Tigress was silent as Kiba bowed his head.

"I shouldn't have called him out, we were never ready for him and yet I called him out, he blew through us like paper… Now Po is the last chance the world has… Why is Po always the worlds guardian…"?

Kiba asked and got no answer, they kept walking, just the two of them as Kiba noted Tigress was running.

"Ti…Calm down, Kai isn't right behind us, you're going to injure yourself more…Rest…"

Kiba said as they walked, Kiba didn't know how far the village was from them but the scent was stronger than before.

"YOU WANT TO SAY THAT AFTER TRYING TO CHARGE KAI HEAD ON!? YOU NEARLY DIED! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?"

Tigress yelled at Kiba which caused him to laugh and lean against Tigress before speaking.

"I wanted to take him out before he became a threat, Ti… I saw you charge him…Kai was too strong for us, Ti…. What I did was buy us time, Kai is wounded from those Charka blows I hit him with… He's going to have to heal before he even decides to try and pursue us… You heard what the scroll said, only a true master of Chi will stop Kai… Are you a chi master?"

Kiba asked, causing Tigress to frown as she and Kiba walked further into the snow, Tigress heard Kiba pass out from exhaustion as they walked, something dropped from his pocket.

Tigress leaned to pick it up and was shocked at what the box was for, she put it back into Kiba's pocket as they climbed into the mountain, she could see a pully system as she unsheathed her claws and began to climb up the hill with Kiba.

Kiba was heavy but neither as heavy nor slowed her down as much as she thought he'd be.

"Tigress, you're never going to…. KIBA!"

She heard Po yell as she finally let her wounds get to her and collapsed into the snow.

She watched a group of Pandas start to carry them away, she had only 2 thoughts in her head as she passed out.

Kiba better be ok, and Po better have mastered Chi, because no one else would be able to defeat Kai besides Po, their failure to stop Kai had been proof of that.

(1 hour later.)

Tigress had mastered being able to control her pain, she climbed out of bed and looked at her bandaged arms and ribs as she walked outside.

She walked over and confronted Po, who was talking to a group of Pandas.

"We need to talk, now."

Tigress hissed out before seeing a small Baby Panda waving an action figure of her in her paw, she thought she could see one of Kiba in her other paw.

The little one kept saying 'Stripy Baby' and 'Doggy' or something along those lines, Tigress turned back to Po to talk, she was angry, Kiba was injured badly, Po didn't look like he had done anything in the time the Furious Five and Kiba had bought him and for all she knew, Kai could have been healed by now.

"Tell me you've mastered Chi, we're out of time."

Tigress asked as gently as she could, the broken bones she possibly had didn't help her demeanor.

"Uh…. About that…"

Po started to say, causing Tigress to growl and grab Po by the wrist, hard.

"WE LOST THE OTHERS, KIBA IS HALF DEAD, AND KAI IS ON HIS WAY, THERE'S NOTHING TO GO BACK TO, PO!"

Tigress roared in anger, causing the Pandas to step back, it didn't make the small Panda Cab back away, Po flinched at how angry Tigress sounded.

"I know, I'll go ask my dad, stay here…. Make sure Kiba is ok, alright, Ti?"

Po asked as he walked away, he wasn't so much scared as he was ashamed, Tigress was right, he hadn't mastered Chi yet, he had trained to get the move but had done nothing to get the actual move.

"Stripy Baby! Where is big wolfy!?"

The small Panda Cub yelled, waving her paws and the action figures within them around as Tigress turned and walked back to the hut she had walked out of, the small cub followed.

What she saw horrified her or saddened her, she didn't have the ability to care which it was at the moment.

Unlike herself, who had probably had some herbs given to her and a few wraps to the bottom of her ribs and arms, Kiba had wraps around part of his face, ribs, arms and he looked only a little bit better.

She walked over to Kiba and gently hugged his paw to her, his equipment laid next to him on a small table as Kiba forced one of his eyes open.

"How long… Was I out, Ti?"

Kiba whispered to Tigress, he felt out of it, but the fact that he was in pain helped, it made him aware and focused.

"An hour, how are you feeling?"

Tigress asked, causing Kiba to motion with his paw around the room.

"I'll be up in another half hour and Ill fix these broken bones… How are you feeling?"

Kiba asked, causing Tigress to frown, Kiba was stubborn to a point, it was one reason Tigress loved him so much, he had as much spirt about fighting as she did and he did it only because he wanted to master the art and protect people.

Kiba, however, was too stubborn at the moment, Tigress might have been walking around the village, but she had gotten hurt before, pain wasn't new to her, just as she guessed it wasn't with Kiba.

That however, didn't mean Kiba could just climb out of bed, reset his bones and then get right back into the fight.

"No, rest for an hour then ill check on you and see if you're ok enough to fight…. You did get thrown down a mountain once already, we don't need it happening again."

Tigress stated as Kiba rolled his unwrapped eye at her but nodded all the same.

"Fine… Just make sure Po has Chi… We won't last longer than a few minutes without that…"

Kiba muttered to Tigress who nodded and left, causing Kiba to look at the small Cub in the hut who smiled at him.

Kiba waved his paw at the cub and smiled before starting to fade back into sleeping once again.

He was going to be a bit annoyed when he woke up if Po hadn't learned Chi when he was waking up.

"Po… You better be ready for war when I wake up…"

Kiba muttered before he passed out and went limp in the bed, exhausted.

He yawned as the Cub ran off, to go find Tigress.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, this was the battle between Kiba, the Furious Five, and Shifu vs Kai. Next chapter will show Kiba and Tigress helping Po train the pandas, I would also like to point out next chapter will be 2000 words long. Until next Saturday, Lighting Wolf out!

PS: The Charka moves were to show another parallel between Po and Kiba, Kiba doesn't really have Chi before anyone askes and Charka is the Japanese Equivalent of Chi.
