Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Tiger. Enjoy the 1000- word chapter. I don't own KFP, Dream Works does.
Kiba hissed in pain as he was dropped by Crane.
"Blasted nerve strikes." Kiba groaned out as Shifu began to unlock his and the Furious Five's chi before he stood up and held his side.
"We couldn't stop him, he was too powerful for even six of us." Tigress groaned out as Kiba watched Shifu lead Po into the palace.
"I shouldn't have used all my energy on the bridge, it made me too weak in case he wasn't defeated." Kiba hobbled into the palace with the Furious Five as Shifu turned to face them.
"Why did you all go to face him alone?!" Kiba chose to speak up.
"It was my idea, Master Shifu, I thought we could defeat him or at least stall him if we all attacked him as a single force." Tigress looked at the wolf, surprised that he was taking the blame for something she was responsible for.
"Then I am just glad none of you are dead for your foolish mistake, we need to retrieve the Dragon Scroll now." Kiba nodded as they walked over.
"Um, is there like a special ladder or something I could use because it is way up there." Po began to brainstorm ways to get up before Shifu used Oogway's staff to send a few lotus petals that knocked the scroll into Po's hands.
"What does it say?" Kiba asked as he finally had enough strength to take his stop holding his side as Tigress walked over.
"Nothing…." Shifu looked at the panda in anger at this.
"That cannot be true, let me see it." He swiped the scroll from the panda as he began to check it again and again before looking into the distance in shock.
"Then we are all doomed…" He turned to Kiba and Tigress.
"Evacuate the valley and take them as far away from here as possible…. I will delay Tai Lung." Kiba and Tigress looked at the Red Panda in shock, despite Kiba's dislike of Shifu's treatment of his friend, he didn't want to see the old master die.
"We can stand and fight, I don't want to ru-…" He was cut off by Shifu himself.
"You cannot, now go." Kiba nodded and begun to run on all fours out the door as Tigress looked at her teacher/father in sadness before rushing out the door as well.
"Why did you lie to him about my plan?" Kiba turned as the Furious Five leader followed with the rest of the Five.
"Because it was the right thing to do, I may not have liked you because of your treatment of Po, but I know someone with good intentions when I see them." Kiba leapt down the last part of the stairs, his claws digging into the stone and stopping him.
"I'll evacuate the northern part of the Valley." Before Tigress or any of the Five could respond, Kiba had already taken off on all fours.
"Blasted little, I'll go help him, evacuate the rest of the valley!" Tigress yelled as she raced after the wolf as the Five looked at each other.
"You think she's mad at him or worried?" Monkey shrugged.
(15 minutes later)
By the time, Tigress reached the Northern part of the Valley, Kiba had already gotten more than half of the people to begin on their way out of the village as he held a rabbit child in his arms.
"Come on, little one, let's find your mother." Kiba turned as Tigress skid to a stop in front of them.
"Are you really that stupid enough to run off with that little a warning?" Kiba shrugged as he turned to follow the villagers into the mountain.
"I figured that you would be handling the rest of the evacuation or at least overseeing it, Tai Lung will be here in about 2 hours."
Tigress looked at the steady stream of villagers filing out of the Valley.
"I'll help you protect them, the rest of the Five are leading the other villagers out here anyway." Kiba nodded as he turned and began to walk out of the Valley with the child.
"Come on then, I need to find this kid's mother." Tigress nodded as she followed the Martial Artist into the mountains as the rest of the Furious Five caught up.
(1 hour later)
Kiba climbed deeper into the mountains as he turned to look at the rest of the villagers in the valley move past him as he listened, Kiba could hear the sounds of battle as he had heard 20 minutes ago.
"Tai Lung is already there?" Kiba turned as Tigress, Crane, Monkey, Viper and Mantis turned to look down on the Valley as well before a gigantic flash of light nearly blinded them.
"Po?" Kiba asked out loud as Tigress finally recovered her voice enough to speak.
"We go back to the village." Kiba looked down at the high distance between the mountain and the village.
"Ok, see you goes down there." Before Tigress could ask why, Kiba had jumped and free fell towards the village before using his claws to slow his fall as he finally reached the bottom of the mountain and rushed towards the village.
Kiba along with the Five found Po in the middle of the Valley with dust from what Kiba had learned was the Wuxi Finger Hold, Kiba crossed his arms and smiled as Tigress and the rest of the Furious Five bowed in respect to the Dragon Warrior.
"Master Shifu!" Po yelled, remembering about the master as Kiba looked around the damaged village before turning back to Tigress.
"Looks like he did it." Tigress nodded in recognition before asking a question she had on her mind since the battle at the bridge.
"Would you like to spar, I want to know more about Martial Arts." Kiba laughed at the odd request as Kiba began to walk back towards the Valley with her and the rest of the Furious Five.
"Sure, but I'll kick your butt just like last time." Tigress grinned.
"We will see about that, wolf."
Author notes
Ok, this chapter was supposed to be 2000 words but I didn't think there was enough content to fill that kind of chapter, plus I wanted to get the first movie over with so I could work on the second movie arc in the story which will be bigger. Next chapter will be on Thursday and then Sunday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
