Ok, 'member that I had posted something called "Two Family Renunions?? Well, I'm kinda re-posting that. But it's gonna be different, let me tell you.
Here is...FIRST PART. He's my friend.
Chapter One: Secret Revealed
It was six thirty, and Po was hungry.
He trudged lazily towards the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
He heard the slight patter of feet and turned around to face Monkey.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Po responded with a loud yawn.
"Just...getting something...to eat." he drawled. Monkey sighed.
"Po, every ten minutes you eat something! I've even seen you sleep-
eating! Every ten minutes each night!"
Po yawned again.
"You need to go back to sleep," Monkey snickered.
"No...Must eat..." Po snored. Monkey half-lead, half-dragged him to
his room.
Then suddenly, as Monkey dropped Po on his mattress, a loud BANG!!!
exploded in the air.
Po sat bolt upright. Monkey whistled through his teeth.
"It's happening." he whispered.
"What on earth," Po said nervously "was that?"
"Tigress," responded Monkey "That's what."
Po and Monkey looked out the window. There she was. And now Po could
see what had happened. An ironwood tree had been literally chopped in
half, and it had fallen on top of a gong. Tigress was looking down the
hill, clenching and unclenching her hand. Po spotted a small scarlet
spot the front of her paw.
"Eww." Monkey whispered "She's bleeding."
"That was...AWESOME!!!" Po squealed.
"You're happy because she hurt herself?"
"What? No, no! Just what she did with that tree!"
Po stared back, eyes wide. Monkey rolled his eyes.
Tigress was punching another ironwood tree. Peices of bark flew
everywhere.
"Why does she do that?" Po asked, his wondering green eyes on Tigress.
TBC
Tigress and Zain walked on down the cobbled street; it was entrancing the way the smooth marble stones fit into a perfect jigsaw of a path, cold under the tigers' feet.
Zain suddenly stopped short, and turned around to face Tigress. "Wait here, I'll be back." With a flick of his tail, the pantherine turned into an alley and disappeared. Tigress waited patiently, crossing her arms and cocking her head.
But after about five minutes, a low chuckle crackled from behind a stone bench. Tigress whipped around, pupils deflated, danger tangible in the air. The small plaza was deserted, except for the silent breeze swishing through, whispering of peril. The feline glanced around warily, fur along her spine pricking. Her paws ached with the longing of battle.
"Zain? Is that you?" Tigress called boldly.
The slight drawing of a weapon from a sheath scraped in the air. Tigress frowned and turned around a half circle, then had only two seconds for her eyes to widen in shock as some kind of metal boomering sliced through the air straight at her. The South Chinese tigress let out a menacing growl as she ducked, and for a response the village echoed with a haunted cackle. Tigress froze.
The boomering whizzed back to it's owner; a black and grey paw, soon melting out to reveal a black snow-leopardess. Her scarlet eyes were fixed on Tigress, and a nasty sneer curled up her face.
"Scared, little kitty?" She hissed.
Tigress snarled. "No, Morgulin."
"Well," Coal laughed back. "You will be."
~oOo~
Storm was quicker than Po expected, even though she was already nimble. She darted in and out expertly, flashing out kicks and punches endlessy. Po deflected them, but had no time in between to land some blows of his own.
He managed to fit in a kick that sent Storm staggering back, but she recovered rapidly and bared her teeth, racing up again, but Po was ready and stepped aside at the last moment. The panda suddenly spotted the only vunerable part he could use to win; the feline's tail.
He made a lunge for it and grasped it, then pulled it towards himself. The black leopard squealed and flopped to the ground helplessly, clutching with unsheathed claws at thin air. Then she twisted around to aim a kick, fast as lightning, but Po used the trick he had used on Tai Lung and wrapped her own tail around Storm's leg and hefted her down again. She spat out indecipherably, hair spiking in rage, before crouching on all fours and springing into the sky with such force Po had to let go.
Storm snarled as she rocketed down, flipping in the air and then bringing her foot down on top of Po's head...almost. He grabbed it in both paws, but the black she-cat narrowed her red eyes and then drove her fist under her leg and slammed it into the Dragon Warrior's nose. It was his turn to squeal.
The bear groaned and crossed his eyes trying to goggle at his injured snout, holding it cautiously. The Morgulin smiled viciously as the panda looked up with fierce, angry green eyes....where had Storm gone?
Po only then realized that the key to winning is to never get distracted as something firm banged into his head and he crumpled to the floor. Blackness covered everything like a sheet and then the world switched off to darkness.
AHHH! NOOO!!!!! Ohhh, FIGHT SCENE!!!! I can NOT wait to see what happens! I sure hope Po helps her! SHE CAN'T STAY LIKE THAT!!!! Man, can NOT wait for more!
Here's the rest of the chappie! I'll respond to your comments as soon as I can! :)
~oOo~
Po shifted uneasily from one foot to the other, gazing around the clearing where Tigress was supposed to be. The only evidence of her being here was the tell-tell outline of a fist etched into the oak tree towering over the panda. The shadowy forest was silent except for the rustle of leaves above Po, making dark patterns cross around the ground.
"Tigress?" he called out again nervously, only for his worried voice to echo across the clearing in response.
Ti-gress, gressss?
Po muttered incoherently, scratching the back of his neck. And then his head jerked up, emerald green eyes wide with alarm, a chill sweeping up his spine. Danger was here. He could feel it coursing through his bones, making his heart quicken and breathing labor. Something bad was going to happen...something really, really bad....
A snarl sounded behind him, and the ursine whipped around clumsily, raising an ebony fist to his face and placing one foot behind the other in a Kung-Fu pose. Blood-red eyes pierced through the braken as a black-furred female clouded leopard stepped out of the thorny brambles, her lips pulled back and fangs bared.
"Who are you, Morgulin? " Po demanded with as much menace as he could muster.
"I am Storm..." the she-cat growled. "Now that we got the casualties out of the way, prepare to die."

Chapter Twenty-Five: Surprise Attack
"Ha! Beat you again!"
Po grumbled but smiled good-naturally.
"You're a pretty good player, Monké." Po said, looking down at the mah-
jong board. He had been utterly defeated yet again by the panda guard.
"I practiced with your dad. He's the best of the best," Monké
responded. Dhani looked up from his book and laughed.
"Whatever you say," the Leader smirked.
"Mr. Ping, y'know, my other dad, he's amazing. I should set you up for
a match sometime," Po said. Dhani raised an eyebrow.
"How good?"
"He beat Master Shifu."
Dhani seemed to ponder this for a while before responding, "Well, we
will see!"
Monké sighed happily. "Well, I better be going home, Master Po." the
panda guard chuckled. "My family's awaitin'."
"Go on then," Leader Dhani said. Monké shuffled to his feet clumsily,
bowed, and then lumbered out the door.
"Well, I'm gonna go check on Tigress." Po smiled. His dad eyed him with a gleam in his eyes. "Go ahead, son." he grunted cheerfully. Po smiled and ran out, closing the oak door behind him.
~oOo~
Zain led Tigress through the village, crimson light from the lanterns giving a slight rosy sheen to her fur, making her amber eyes twinkle brightly, her unemotional, stony expression seem alight and merry. She gazed around the village with unsurpressed wonder. Small cubs scuffled on the smooth, sandy path, stopping only to watch the stranger walk past them. Some, seeing Zain, bowed respectfully. Tigress took note of this, recalling he had said something about being soon-to-be leader of the village, and now he could prove he was right.
Tigers, some white-furred, others orange, sauntered by with cheerful greetings and high-held heads. They were one of the most powerful races in all of history--they had a reason to stand proud and majestic. Tigress was so awestruck with the whole scene that she didn't the two cubs scamper up to her until they were right at her feet.
Two pairs of eyes stared up at her on striped faces. Suddenly, one of the cubs, a white tigress, piped up, "Uncle Zain!"
She pranced over to the tiger, who grabbed her and tossed her in the air effortlessy, catching her with ease. The cub giggled joyfully, laughing harder as Zain tickled her.
The other cub, an orange one, raced up to Zain and cuddled against his side, purring softly. The green-eyed tiger looked down in mock surprise and with his free paw ruffled the top of her head. "Hi, girls."
Tigress cocked her head at his gentle demeanor as he gingerly set down the white cub. Zain looked up, having forgotten that Tigress was there, and let out an embarrassed chuckle. "Tigress, these are my nieces, Moonbeam and Sunshine." He gestured first to the white cub and then to the orange. "Kids, this is Master Tigress from China. She's a Kung-Fu Master."
Moonbeam's dark green eyes grew wide as dinner plates and Sumshine's jaw dropped almost to the floor.
Suddenly, the feline was bombarded with questions.
"Is it true they make the best noodles in the world?"
"What's it like?"
"Does it have mountains? "
"Is there really a yellow river there?"
"What's a dumpling?"
"What kind of animals live there?"
"Elephants?"
"Lions?"
"Unicorns?"
Zain chuckled at Tigress's wild-eyed demeanor as the endless chatter of the twins made her brain swirl and feel like mush.
"Girls, girls," Zain interrupted. "Master Tigress will answer you questions soon enough, but right now we need to go," Moonbeam looked a bit crestfallen but cheered up when Sunshine offored to play skipping-rope with her, and the two dashed of to do whatever other mischevious plans they had for the day.
"I'm sorry, Tigress, they're just--really curious," Zain sighed, rolling his eyes good-naturedly.
"It's fine." Tigress grinned softly . "Curious indeed." she mumbled as she watched the two little felines skip off, a slight warm feelin in her stomach making her give a start when she noticed Zain was staring at her.
He cleared his throat and quickly looked away. "Would you like to see Leader Rasket?" he questioned. Tigress couldn't stifle her excitement, bobbing her head up and down in a yes.
"Well...follow me, then." Zain responded, and Tigress complied, completely oblivous to the two burning red eyes glaring at her in the shadows of two massive ironwoods.

@lola595
OMG I felt like I've been struck by lightning...I just noticed that I've gotten OVER 20O POSTS! AHHHH!!! (runs around wildly for two hours). Soo happy.....(pant) Anyway, glad you like the story! Keep reading and commenting!
That was really great! I think the next part should be about how Po and Monkey were sitting on the roof of the palace watching Tigress wait for another bamboo chute to break. A big strong tiger went up to her, it was master Tiger. They watched Tigress nuzzle him and run off. Po was worried. He thought Tigress would want to have a cub with master Tiger. I think the story should be called Tigress's New Tiger Friend.
