"So where do we stand now?" Mei asked the next morning.
"Well, judging from his injuries, Leo won't be moving for a while," Tigress said. Everyone looked at the sleeping white wolf. "Leo did at least cripple Wong-Hu a bit, but I don't know if it will be enough."
Po thought for a moment. "Well, we're going to have to stay put until the reinforcements arrive. Until then, we're going to have to protect the village. The old lady that lives here says we can stay as long as we want."
"I agree. We either go through with Po's plan or wait for a miracle to happen," Mei sighed. However, on the next night Tigress got an idea, a crazy idea. She emptied out the pack that Mr. Ping gave her and stuffed a bunch of other things she had found from around the village. She snuck out of the team's house and braved up wintry trail Mount Shang with Po's sword strapped to her back. Soon, Tigress found a cave that was guarded by tigers. She hid behind a boulder just away from the guards.
"That must be Wong-Hu's hideout," she said to herself. Suddenly, a shadow came upon her from her back. She jumped around and held the sword at the person's neck.
"Easy! It's just me," Leo whispered.
"Leo? What are you doing here? You should be in bed, resting," Tigress scolded, sheathing the sword.
"And you should be down the mountain," Leo reminded, "My wounds are fine. I was just tired from the healing that's all." He showed her the scar on his abdomen. It was nearly completely faded only after five days! "I heal pretty fast. So what's the crazy idea here?"
"I think... I have a plan," Tigress whispered it to him.
The wolf blinked a couple times. "That's completely insane with only a small percent chance that we'll make it out alive," Leo replied.
"So you'll help me?" She asked.
Leo sighed, "What are we waiting for?" They quickly and quietly took out the guards and sneaked down the dimly lit corridor of the cave until they came to the big open chamber. They saw the cannons and weapons being made as tigers banged their hammers on the weapon. "They're going to attack the village with this power?"
"They're going to destroy the Jin-Min. Some of the soldiers did mention Wong-Hu cleansing the city," Tigress said.
"They don't know what he's talking about. He wants to control all tiger-kind," Leo whispered. "Do you have any idea how to-" Tigress produced a large stick of dynamite in her hand.
"It has a 30 minute fuse. That means we have to put it in a good place," Tigress replied.
"Leave it to me," Leo said as he grabbed the stick. The chamber was made like an assembly line. All Leo had to do was find the most explosive part of the line. He jumped quietly underneath a box and snuck around to one of the barrels of gunpowder. He lit the fuse and scurried back to Tigress near the chamber overlook. "Done."
"Good, let's go," Tigress said. She spun around and saw two massive tigers standing above her.
"Uh-Oh," Leo squeaked.
The next moment, they were thrown onto the floor in Wong-Hu's chambers where the white tiger limped with a bandaged arm. Leo and Tigress's hands were bound and the feline's backpack was tossed to the side.
"For a Kung Fu master, you're not very stealth," He said.
"I blame the panda for rubbing off on us," Leo muttered. Wong-Hu shook his head with a long smile.
"What can a woman and a half-breed wolf do against one of the greatest generals of all China?" Wong-Hu challenged.
"How did you-"
