Kung Fu Panda Story (ORIGINAL)

End of The Fight

"Snap out of it! This isn't you!" Po yelled, giving away his hiding spot. The tiger snapped out of her trance. She roared deafeningly, showing off orange flames coming from the back of her throat. She wasn't levitating anymore, though her incredible speed would surely make up for it.

"Uh, Po? I don't think talking to her is gonna help anything!" Mantis called out to him. He and Monkey were currently hiding behind one of the large rocks by the water. "Like, at all!"

"She won't hear you, Po." Master Shi Fu added, near to where the Dragon Warrior was. "This isn't Tigress. At least not the one we know and love..."

"But I know she's still in there somewhere." Po mumbled. "She just needs help getting out..." Suddenly, something clicked in the back of his mind. The cure... Even though the main source of evil had been removed and destroyed from Tigress' being, it had triggered something else that had been nestling in her Chi. That something didn't make her Evil's minion, but pure evil altogether. Like there were now two sides of young master's personality.

The steps to find and cure the young tiger were easier said than done. How in the whole of China were they supposed to find a drop of Yang water?! They didn't even know Yang water existed! Not even Shi Fu! Plus, basically half of the scroll had been torn off, hiding anything that could have been a helpful, or more-or-less terrible, plot-twist to their mission.

The Dragon Warrior was soon snapped out of his thoughts as a large, red blast nearly blew him up. Luckily, he dodged before he got exploded, but the shot was just a little too close for comfort.

A spontaneous thought that came across Po's mind made him wince and maybe even cringe a little. His mind did not seem to relish the idea of trying to make a single, hot pot of lotus tea, while trying to defend himself from his own friend and partner in crime-fighting.

Viper, who had slithered to hide among one of the trees thought to herself, 'How are we supposed to do this...' She watched as Tigress started attacking Monkey and Mantis once she knew where they had been hiding. They only managed to escape the tiger's wrath by a hair. Po, who was also a victim, ran around Tigress, trying to talk(yell) at her, while also doing his very best to dodge her incoming attacks. Orbs, punches, kicks, etc.

Viper had the usual instinct to go and save/help them, but she thought through again. It would be foolish to jump out and expose herself. Tigress' evil side had definitely been underestimated. They needed a different sort of strategy.

Crane and Shi Fu were the only other two masters that were out of sight from the raging tiger. Crane, hiding in the cave near the entrance to the palace. Shi Fu, still concealed in a small, rundown wooden home. Master Shi Fu watched the fighting from behind the door, unable to come up with a useful plan, but he also could not bear the sight that was laid in front of him. His worst fear...

Po had just gotten kicked right in the guts, leaving him nauseous and slightly fatigued. He surely would have gotten sliced in half if Mantis had not come up with a diversion. He triggered a nerve in Tigress' neck to stun her for a few moments. He jumped into the air and dived back down, attempting to strike a nerve that would make her physically paralyzed, but he instead, got punched away by the tiger's strong and sturdy fists.

Monkey, who was a few feet behind Mantis, snapped a long, thick branch from a nearby tree and started using it as a staff (his usual staff had been dropped down at the other side of the cove). The young warrior managed to hit Tigress hard in her shoulder before swinging his temporary staff above his head, getting ready to attack again. Although, he was quickly smacked in the head, a visible gash across his forehead from Tigress' sharp claws.
