Tigress woke up. She found herself being crammed up against Po. For some reason she actually felt kind of comfortable, she swore she could have lied there beside him all day, but unfortunately stuff had to be done today. Very soon the sun was going to rise above the horizon and scatter it's light between the tall trees.

The fire had gone extinct. There were only a few small glows in the pile.

The sky was growing bluer by the minute. Today was the day. It's gonna be a day of effort and trouble, they will all have a bad time today, but one thing that they had in common, which Huang did not, is finding comfort in the other. They are stronger together, united. Huang is a lone man that only wants to subdue China under his rule and perhaps even the world. The only thing standing in front of his way now is The Furious Five, The Grandmaster of the Jade Palace, an old warlord, two happy fathers, and the almighty Dragon Warrior who's defeated everyone in his way, that being Tai Lung, Ke-Pa, Lord Shen, Jin-Diao, and Kai the Supreme Warlord of all China.

Will Huang break that spree? that we will have to see.

Tigress rose up, her being the only one awake she decided to meditate by the pond Master Shifu was at the night before.

She sat down slowly, putting one of her paws down on a rock to support herself on. Once she was down, she closed her eyes. 

__Flashback__

The little cub watched as two figures covered in cloaks were arguing.

"Why?! Why are you doing this?!" one of the figures shouted.

"I must! It is necessary, I have a village to feed!" The other shouted.

The little cub lied down on the ground, wrapped around in thick fabric. It was Tigress. But who were the other two figures? Tigress tried to remember, but couldn't make it out.

"Surely there must be some other way to keep the village in shape!"

"No there isn't! This is the only way!"

"Please! Think this over! You're not thinking straight!"

"Then what?! What kind of leader am I to let the entire town go hungry?! Huh?!"

The other figure calmed down by taking a deep breath. "Look, I know we might be having a rough time at the moment, but we cannot risk having our village attacked. If you eliminate the emperor you do realize we'll become a target for the entirety of China to seek after? Tigress could make out the figure to have a feminine voice. An arm stretched out and touched the other figure on it's shoulder. "Right?"

The figure sighed. "Evacuate the village, let them split."

"Bu-" "Just listen to me, okay?" See that mountain far over there?" The figure, who appeared to  have a slightly manlier voice, asked. "Spread the word. That's our new village, high up there in the foggy mountains. Tell them all to meet up there in a week. It's for our own good. Some of us might make it, some might not."

"Th- that's horrible! Can't you find some other way?! Really? You're REALLY GONNA SACRIFICE ALL THESE FAMILIES FOR A MISSION?!"

"I must."

"Then you're a bigger fool than I thought."

*sigh* "Just.. Let's just take our kid to a safe place before I start."

They were Tigress' parents. Her father and her mother. Her father really was a warlord.

Next thing she knew she found herself at a familiar building. The oval shaped building that had come to haunt her for years. It was stormy. She was left outside the gates of the Bao Gu orphanage in the midst of a storm, watching as her parents slowly walk away, with her mother occasionally looking back with teary eyes.
