Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Tiger. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own Kung Fu Panda, Dream works does.
Kiba batted away a side kick from Tigress as he tossed a double handed strike at her which she used to flip him before he landed in a crouch on the beam the duo was sparing on.
"Not going to work, Kiba." The wolf laughed as he caught a strike from her before kicking her back as he got ready for another round.
"I'm only seeing what works on your defense or not, Tigress." Kiba swung a spin kick which Tigress back flipped over before swinging an axe kick which Kiba blocked before pushing the master back with a double handed strike to the chest as Tigress dodged a roundhouse kick before elbowing the wolf in the face which made him stumble back, Kiba wiped the small amount of blood and saliva from his face before grinning.
"Good, I was thinking you wouldn't fight me relentlessly!" Kiba launched into a furry of open handed palm strikes and butterfly kicks which forced Tigress back before she performed a spin kick which knocked Kiba onto his back before the wolf growled and began to flip up before tigress planet her foot on his chest.
"Surrender and I'll save you the embarrassment." Kiba laughed as he used his feet to knock her away as he flipped onto his feet.
"Tempting, but no." Tigress laughed before leaping at the wolf as Kiba caught her tiger strike by grabbing her wrists. Neither warrior noticed the rest of the Furious Five enter.
"Tigress, the musician village is under attack!" Kiba and Tigress turned just as Kiba was using the momentum of a failed butterfly kick to launch a hammer fist. Kiba, who was distracted by the Five's entrance, was unable to control the power of his strike which shattered the beam that the duo was using under their feet.
"Oops, maybe we should have knocked." Monkey said as both warriors fell to the ground with Tigress landing on Kiba.
"Yeah, you should have." Kiba finally noticed Tigress had landed on him as did she, both blushed before Kiba nervously laughed before he gently pushed the Kung Fu master off him.
"Sorry, Ti, I wasn't able to control the force of my attack, I'll try not to mess up that again." Tigress nodded, glad that her fur hid her blush before both scowled at the rest of the Furious Five. Monkey nervously rubbed the back of his head, Crane coughed into his wing, Viper said nothing as she was not scared, Mantis scurried behind Monkey.
"Get going to the village, Crane you with me, we are going to get Po." Tigress ordered as Kiba allowed her to spring off his back before he flipped onto the floor in front of them before turning to Tigress.
"Try not to take too long or there isn't going to be anybody left by the time you get there." Tigress nodded, a small grin on her face as Kiba, Monkey, Viper and Mantis sped out the door before she turned to Crane and nodded as both sped off towards the cave above the valley to get Po.
"So, someone want to explain whose idea it was to barge into the training room to get me and Tigress when both of us were in the middle of sparing? You guys know it takes all of our concentration to train with each other, a kick from Tigress is like getting hit by a freight train!" Kiba yelled as Crane flew overhead before dropping Po as Tigress used her claws to slide down the mountain and land in front of the group.
"Oh, so you were able to catch up, glad we didn't need to slow down so you could get here, Ti." Tigress flipped before landing on all fours as the group traveled through the mountains to reach the village.
"It didn't take as long as your trying to make it seem like it did, Kiba." Kiba rolled his eyes before skidding to a stop as he looked down at the village and growled at the figures terrifying it.
"Wolves, my own kind stooping so low to become criminals…." Po looked over to see Kiba unsheathe his claws.
"Kiba, wait!" The wolf leapt down as Tigress sighed in annoyance before jumping down as well. The rest of the group followed suit as Kiba readied himself for battle as the Martial Artist ran at the thieving wolves before roundhouse kicking one into the wall of a house.
"You dishonor our kind!" Kiba growled out as Tigress launched a tiger strike which sent 2 of the wolves slamming into the wall before Kiba hit another in the face with a palm strike and spin kicking another. Kiba looked over as Po punched a wolf in the face before knocking another aside with an axe kick.
"Crane, whirlwind of chaos!" Kiba ordered as he struck a wolf with a sword with a right cross as Crane nodded and began to twirl in place, sweeping a dozen wolves on their feet. Kiba turned a wolf, missing his eye, wielding a war hammer and wearing dark armor stepped forward to see why his soldiers were falling.
"A panda!? Impossible!" Kiba was knocked back by a wolf with an axe before Tigress struck the wolf with a right cross as Kiba growled.
"I could have handled him." Kiba turned as another wolf with daggers charged before Kiba knocked him off his feet with a butterfly kick.
"Sure, you could have." Tigress responded as she punched a wolf with claws to the side before both saw Po run up the side of a building.
"Tigress, double death strike!" Kiba laughed before roundhouse kicking a wolf to the side.
"Go, we can handle the wolves down here." Tigress nodded as she ran up before kicking away a group of wolves as Po battered another squad away with his feet as Kiba turned and noticed the wolf boss had issued a howl that Kiba took as they were retreating.
"Hey, this fight isn't over yet!" Kiba kicked a wolf to the side before noticing Po racing towards the cliff, Kiba was able to notice the Pig that had been trapped in a bell which the wolves kicked off the cliff.
"Oh, you have to be kidding me!" Kiba ran on all fours before ramming into the wolves and sending them off the cliff before they were caught as Kiba grabbed onto Viper who grabbed onto Po as Tigress and Monkey helped pull them and the bell up as Kiba growled and noticed the wolf boss running for it.
"You're not getting away!" Po shouted as Kiba flipped onto all fours and ran behind the panda as they ran at the wolf boss.
"You're going to pay for this!" Kiba leaped up as he prepared to launch a butterfly kick as he prepared to use Po for a spring board before noticing that Po had become frozen by the wolf boss.
"Po, Kiba, look out!" Tigress said before the wolf boss slammed his war hammer into Po, sending him into Kiba who slammed into Tigress as the trio slammed into a group of bunny villagers.
"Chew on that, Tubby!" The wolf taunted as he laughed and hopped on a stack of metal as it was pulled into the mist with the other stacks.
"Blast it, we nearly had them!" Kiba growled as Tigress helped him to his feet as Kiba nodded in thanks before Kiba turned to Po as Kiba rubbed his arms which had brushed the ground and had bruises on them.
"Po, you ok, you've never froze up like that." Tigress asked as she rubbed her back which had been injured when she had slid along the ground.
"That symbol, I've seen it before…" Po muttered as Kiba turned to Tigress.
"We staying here or reporting to Master Shifu?" Tigress once more rubbed at her back before answering.
"We tell Shifu, Po, you, Monkey, Crane and Mantis go back to the Valley and tell Master Shifu, me, Kiba and Viper will check out the village and make sure none of the wolves are still here before we join you guys." Po nodded as Crane lifted him back up to the ledge as he, Mantis, Monkey, and Crane vanished into the mist.
"Kiba, has Po ever frozen up like that before?" Viper asked as the trio searched the rest of the village for wolves.
"No, he would have told me if he had." Kiba said as they finished up their search before Tigress spoke up again.
"Let's get going, we can ask Po when we get back to the valley." Kiba nodded as he boosted Tigress up to the ledge as Viper slithered up his arm before Kiba climbed up with his claws. The trio turned and vanished into the smoke as they raced back to the valley to report.
