Tigress, I need you

Chapter 1

Po's pov:

It was quiet in the Valley of Peace. It was so quiet that you could hear the falling of a leaf or the crawling of a caterpillar. It was so quiet and peaceful that you could hear the slicing of cheese or the munching of dumplings. Suddenly, the quietness was disturbed by a loud bang! Trouble had started to come to the Valley of Peace! As soon as the loud sound reached the Jade Palace the awesome, the legendary, the great Dragon Warrior and the Furious 5 marched out of the Jade Palace and ran down into the village to stop whatever made that loud bang and was disturbing the peace of the valley!

We didn't know what we were about to face. It might as well be our last day fighting as heroes! At least with fought with much vigor, much honor, and much awesomene-

"Po! Focus and stop daydreaming!", Master Shifu yelled out, cutting me from my thoughts.

"Okay, right!", I said, shaking my head and focused on where I was going. When we got there to the village we were met with Taotie who was inside a giant ball thingy...?

"Greetings, Dragon Warrior, Furious Five, and Master Shifu! Meet my latest invention, the Sphere of Unerringly Accurate Acupuncture! With it you cannot defeat me!", Tao Tai said. We tried attacking his machine, lunging at it one by one to try and take it down and find a way around it, but he was right: we could not defeat him. When we were hit by his ball thingy machine, we did some weird things like me and Monkey running up to each other and crashing our heads together as if we were under a mind control! Then some black tiger with huge knives appeared in front of Taotie's machine.

"Taotie!", the black tiger exclaimed angrily.

"Ah! Hello, Huo! How nice of you to join the party!", Taotie said with a wicked grin. It actually sounded as if he were mocking him.

"Taotie! You and I have some unfinished business to do!", Huo, I think that's his name, snarled to Taotie. 'What unfinished business does he mean?', I wondered. He was then hit by the machine and their little darts, but he somehow didn't have any effect towards it. He just then cracked his neck and his knuckles then did a jump and then a spin - that seemed like he had a bit of flames - to evidently destroy Taotie's machine. We ran up to him to check if he was alright and get a word out of him, but it seems he might've passed out.

And Taotie managed to get away again.

Masrer Shifu's pov:

I was impressed that the black tiger could destroy such machinery in an impossible move, the Fire Spin-Kick. Only one princess was able to do that move: Princess Lin. Princess Lin was a great kung fu master as well as a true born leader. She had two younger brothers, Prince Bingling and an unknown one - who both were also skilled in the art of kung fu - but not as skilled as Lin for she not only knew kung fu, she knew almost all of China's martial arts. Unfortunately, she and her clan, the Black Tiger Clan, got wiped out and no survivors were found. I believe this young man who just defeated Taotie came from the same clan.

We went back to the Jade Palace after the fight, Po carrying the black tiger all the way. I could see that Tigress kept on glancing towards the black tiger, but it was understandable. She has never met another tiger before and thought she was the last one. Once we made our way back up to the Jade Palace I asked Po and Tigress to set him in a spare room in the dormitories. I wanted to ask him about where he came from because the Black Tiger Clan was the only clan with rare melanistic tigers, or black tigers.

Huo's pov:

I was walking to the closest market near my camp to get some food since the food back at my camp had ran out whilst I was traveling, and the nearest market seemed to be at this place called the Valley of Peace. I bought five apples, but I ate one and place the others in my small pouch that was tied to my belt. Then I saw a ball thingy machine a couple of streets away whilst everyone was screaming and running from that direction. I knew exactly who it belonged to.

Taotie.

I smirked inwardly to myself. 'Finally, I can have revenge on him for killing my family.', I thought. There were also others who tried to fight his machine but failed. 'I guess those are the guardians of this town. They can't even attack him without thinking of how to not get hit by his machine. Pathetic.', I thought, clicking my tongue in disappointment. I then jumped in front of the machine to confront Taotie myself.

"Taotie!", I said angrily.

"Ah! Hello, Huo! How nice of you to join the party!", he said to me in a mocking tone.

"Taotie! You and I have some unfinished business to do!", when I mean 'unfinished business', I mean I'm gonna snap his head and make him pay for killing Lin and Bingling. I was then hit by a dart that shoot off from his machinery, but I had no effect. Why, you ask? Because I was already used to not being able to be controlled by my key points so I was practically numb. I just cracked my head and knuckles then did my older sister's attack move to destroy Taotie's machine: the Fire Spin-Kick. I was able to master it at 15. But my older sister, Lin, mastered it when she was 6.

Unfortunately at the process of destroying the machine, I might've passed out considering I didn't use that move very often and still didn't know how to hold my ground after using that move.
