Pride of a Ligress: By ?

Ch.1: The Ligress and the mission

In the Village of Dai-Ming the sun was beginning to arise over the horizons of the mountains. The mountains circled around the village protecting it from intruders that doesn't know the way in. Inside the village, inside a normal house a young teenage sixteen year old feline girl was still resting in her bed under the covers. She 'is' part lion, part tiger. She a ligress putting it in right words. Her name 'was' Mei Wen, but she goes by the name Ligress.

Ligress was still sleeping until the sun's sunny rays hit her face. As a result she pulled the covers over her face to block the rays to continue sleeping. After a few minutes she finally rolled out from her now messy bed. She done her daily morning rituals in the restroom. She was a little boyish but had beautiful looks and fur.

She had golden lioness fur with tiger strips on her arms, her eye color is hazel green. She putted on and wore a light yellow vest, light brown pants. She also had a lioness' tail and ears.

After she got showered and dressed, she headed towards her kitchen to make her something to eat. Ligress(Mei Wen) was told that her parents abandon her as a child told by her aunt Yunxu, and Ligress was sadden by that ever-since. So she lived alone, with only Yunxu visiting her one every month for some reason. When Ligress turned at least six or seven Yunxu been telling Ligress about boys being none-trusting and unfaithful, so Ligress didn't really trust boys very much.

Ligress finished eating her breakfast processed outside and closed and locked her door to go on a little walk in the mountain town valley.

"Hello Break Wind" A snotty voice said from behind.

Ligress let out small growl in her throat as soon as she heard that voice.

"My name..is Mai Wen, but you know I go by Ligress" Ligress said with annoyance and anger in her voice. She turned around to see Vanessa Te the snow Leopard and two others and a Buff and shirtless clouded Leopard named Shang Lee only wearing purple pants.

"Whatever, so I heard you went to the Gen rock concert. You know all the girls brought their boyfriends. Oh that's right you don't have one" So mocked making fun of her. The other two snow leopards was pretty much scared of Ligress so they backed away as she walked towards Vanessa and got in her has.

"Look bitch " Ligress started. Vanessa left eye twitched when she said that and Ligress continued, "I have no intention of having one, and I don't really care. I already know your mating with him, everyone knows it. So why don't you, him, and your friends go jump off a cliff or something" Ligress told her.

"Whatever hybrid-freak, you don't even have friends. I bout you'll ever get a date or boyfriend because of your boyish attitude. Later tomboy" Vanessa said walking grabbing Shang hand signaling him to leave but he stayed looking at Ligress. He told her 'I'll be right with you' and walked toward Ligress.

"Hey Ligress" Ligress gave a 'what do you want' look. "What is it"? She answered not caring what he has to say.

"You know, Vanessa and I aren't mutual so... why don't you and I have a little get to gether at my place. Just me and you, what do ya say?" He told her.

"Wait, aren't you dating and mating with Vanessa?" Ligress said back. Shang just smiled at the question.

"Getaway from me you sex obsessed freak" Ligress said disgusted walking away. Shang then nodded and said, "Soon Ligress, soon" He thought walking back to Vanessa and her friends that didn't hear the conversation.

In the Valley of Peace, up top in the Jade Palace Takami and his friends was training in the new Training Hall Shifu provided them for relaxing and training. Takami, Kiba, Ryo and Hope was squaring off against each other sparring. The rest of the gang along with the Hazards, Furious Five, Po and Song were watching.

Takami was going against Kiba, and Ryo was going against Hope. Between the four young in-training warriors you could feel the invisible sparks fly between them. Takami and Kiba were the first to fight. Takami was now using his new twin katana and Kiba with his new nun-chucks.

Takami made the first move. "Oh ya Alpha Boy is on the move" Kiba said about himself rolling under Takami's side slash he made with his sword. Kiba then started spinning his nun-chucks and said,"Ha you don't know what to do" Kiba teased. Takami then went with a left swing of his blade at Kiba, but he rolled under it and said, "I'm here". Takami made a right swing and Kiba dodge rolled that and said, "I'm there" as well now a meters away from the flame tiger and continued to say, "I could be anywhere" Kiba teased again, he then notice that Takami was coming in close with full downward slash, but Kiba slid under his legs and on the other side of the mat and said, "How can you stop what you can't even see?" Kiba said getting ready to finally attacking. Takami the finally found several weak points into Kiba's rush but decide to hit safest weak point, so Takami backhanded the blade and jabbed the back-end of the katana in Kiba stomach which stunned Kiba on the ground and rolling off the mat and gagged on the floor. Takami then had a little humor in his voice when he said, "Like that" prefer to what Kiba said twenty seconds ago. "Good one T.K" Kiba wheezed out and took a quick nap on the floor.

It was now Ryo's and Hope's turn to fight. Ryo creaked both side of his next and said, "Alright Hope, put down the bow-staff and no one gets hurt."

"Uh you said that last time Ryo then you hurt me" Hope corrected. Ryo then shrugged and said, "Yeah, but last time I wouldn't have" Ryo retort.

"Yeah whatever" Hope said, the started twirling his bow-staff attack Ryo with downward swing, he missed and continued to twirl the staff trying the confused Ryo. Ryo continually moving out-of-the-way of Hope's bow-staff swing at him. Hope finally decided that it was time to end it, and attack Ryo downward slash. But last thing Hope know, he was no longer hold his staff Then realized Ryo was causally leaning on it. Ryo then twirled the bow-staff then broke it in half into two in both hands and using them as if the were sai's. Ryo then sinisterily smiled at Hope. Hope kinda figured that would happen sometime and said, "I should have dropped the staff?"

Ryo then humorously nodded his head and said, "You should have dropped the staff". Ryo was now using the two sticks as drumsticks and Hope was the drum in the fetal position covering his head protecting himself in defeat screaming 'I'm down, I'm down'. Nearby a certain tiger, dog-whistled at Ryo. Ryo turned around to see Takami standing on the mat and was still dog-whistling at him. Hope sat between Kaizer and Faith, because the saved him that set.

"Alright flame tail, lets see what you got" Ryo said dropping the broke staffs and got into wolf style position. Takami placed the full black katana into the sleeve cover behind him and got into tiger style position, reflecting Tigress image but not perfectly.

Ryo the first to make the first moved starting with a quick jabbed that, Takami blocked and countered with side kicking him in the right side. Ryo was about to kick Takami in his lower section, but Takami stopped it pushing the front kick back down and slamming his fist in Ryo's face staggering backward a few feel. Ryo was now breath heavily and simply said, "Is that all you got". Takami just smiled and shucked his head lightly. Takami then began taunting Ryo, and Ryo didn't like that very much. So he rushed at Takami and wildly trying to punch and kick the tiger, but Takami merely dodged and blocked every one of the attacks. Ryo finally stopped attacking moved back in a safe distance catching his breath.

"Are you done, you know attacking angrily" Takami simply asked. "I would like to end this now" Takami add. Without warning Ryo charged, Takami got ready and jammed his fist into Ryo's stomach. Not only that, with his fist still jammed into Ryo's stomach he lifted Ryo in the air and slammed him into the ground ending the sparring fight.

"Enough" Master Shifu ordered standing in front of the door walking down the steps too them. Takami and the others sat respectfully on the mat.

"Very good everyone, I've observed you and I see that you all are showing progress. But there are some of you that are still having trouble. Takami, your still having trouble with your strength and there nothing wrong with that, but you have to control it. Ryo, you have too calm down, you can't fight in blind rage. As for you Kiba, you need to take things more seriously in situations. Everyone else you've done fine. Your dismissed." Shifu said.

Ryo, Kiba, Faith, Hope, Kaizer, Layla, Skyler, and Tamaki all exited out the room. Takami was just about leave as well until...

"Takami, may I speak with you?"

"Yes Master Shifu" Takami said standing up straight.

"I noticed that you and your friends are getting more and more used to traveling with us to different places." Shifu assumed.

"Y-yes we are"

"That's good, now you and most of your friends is sixteen and is about to become seventeen. You and your team has made me very proud of what you've all accomplished over the passed eight months. Your learning the basic art of Kung Fu, caring for others, and greatly learning to control your abilities. You and your friends did so much I think you deserve your very own mission"

"What" He said surprised.

"I'm saying that you are ready to take on the must dangerous missions, but I'm not going to throw you into too dangerous missions. I'm going to start you and three other on a four man mission"

"Are you serious"?

"I'm always serious" Master Shifu corrected. Out of happiness, Takami immediately hugged Master Shifu who wasn't expecting the tiger would do that. Realizing what Takami was doing he putted the red panda back on the ground and scratch the back of his head.

"Sorry Master, I guess Po is getting to me" Takami said.

"I think he's beginning to get to all of us. So who do you prefer to accompany you" Shifu said getting back to business.

"I'm thinking...Hope, Faith, and Kaizer. They'll seem like a good team" Takami figured looking back at the strange friendship.

"Hmm, are you sure your ready for Kaizer to go on missions now?"

"Yes, I trust him. He and Hope are friends so no real harm with happen. Plus I was going to add Kiba but he might bring Kaizer back into his assassin phase." Shifu could agreed on the wise choice.

"Very well. You, Hope, Faith, and Kaizer are required to bring back a girl named Mei Wen to the palace. She the daughter of an old friend of mine that passed away long ago. He asked me if anything happened too him, he wanted me to take her in, to live in the Jade Palace. At first I didn't know where she was located, that why she's not here now. We finally found where she is though. She lives in Village of Dai-Ming in the middle of the south mountains. Thankfully we still have more rooms here we can let her use one of them. So that your goal, bring her back here safely, understood" Shifu instructed.

"Yes Master. Oh one more thing I need to asked?" Takami said.

"What is that?"

"Can one member of the Furious Five come with us. I think we need guidance, and more of a leader to follow other than me, you know"

"Your afraid of getting lost aren't you" Master Shifu guessed. Takami nodded. Shifu kinda found that funny.

"Okay, I will assign Viper and Crane to go with you on your travel tomorrow " Shifu told him.

"Thanks dad" Takami bowed not realizing what he said. The word 'dad' caught the red panda off guard, hearing that coming from his student that he adopted months ago. This was also the first time Takami even said that as well.

"Dad?" The old master said back.

"Oh, I mean Master Shifu" Takami said running off to go inform the others.

"Good luck... my son" The red panda said heading to the dragon grotto.

Wow that was kinda a surprise. The next chapter is on the same day of Takami and the others are getting ready to head out. There's more on the way. Bye. :D
