The whole world

Nope, still don't own Kung Fu Panda

I apologize for the long delay between chapters; I couldn't seem to find the motivation to write, writer's block I guess now that that's over we can continue

Kiera looked out over the battlefield, the army facing them was massive. She recognized the banners of several warlords from across China including the Mongols. There had to be thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of soldiers out there, Kiera couldn't tell there were so many.

How had Kai rallied so many to his cause without anyone finding out? How had he gotten the support of the Mongols?

Kiera felt the confidence drain out of her upon seeing the massive siege engines Kai had brought in. Catapults, Battering rams, Ballistas, Siege mortars, Trebuchets Kiera, had never seen that used a large counterweight to throw massive projectiles, and cannons.

To her, it looked like the whole world had shown up to kill her, and her friends now she knew how her father had felt just before his first large-scale battle. How where they supposed to win this? Kiera looked to her mother next to her for encouragement, but she seemed just as worried as Kiera did.

"We just have to hold them off until the Samurai gets here," Kiro said pulling out his staff, sparking it.

Kiera looked sideways at the tiger Master

Kai looked at the Capitol City in front of his army and smiled.

"FIRE!" He yelled pointing at the City.

The Catapults flung flaming projectiles at the wall.

Back in the City Kiera looked to the sky and saw the flaming projectiles flying towards them.

"Scatter!" She yelled before leaping off the wall, to the ground below. She hit the ground and rolled onto her back in time to see flaming projectiles hit the wall right where she had been standing mere moments before.

"Put those fires out!" She shouted, to some soldiers, getting to her feet.

The Catapult was old technology, Kai used it mainly for its fear factor and to hurl flaming debris at the enemy and start fires from afar.

Kiera was more worried about the Siege mortars that could fire explosive cannon balls.

"Defend the wall!" Kiera shouted running back up. "Dega! Help me keep them off the wall!"

"Right!" Dega said running after Kiera.

Back on top of the wall, Kiera could see the massive battering ram slowly advancing towards them. She growled in frustration; they had to stop it before it reached the gates.

"Kiro!" Kiera shouted to get the other Tiger's attention.

Kiro kicked an enemy off the ladder he was using to ascend the wall and looked at Kiera.

"Take care of that battering ram, if it reaches the gate, were finished," Kiera said.

Kiro looked at the large battering ram and nodded, before leaping off the wall.

Kiera turned her attention back to the soldiers ascending the ladders.

"Well hello there," Dega said to one before hitting him in the face with the pommel of his sword, knocking him down the ladder to the ground. "And stay out!" He said pushing the ladder over.

Kai watched Kiro tearing through the soldiers escorting the battering ram and growled to himself. They were putting up a stronger fight than he had anticipated. No matter, sheer numbers would soon overwhelm them.

"Zina! Take care of Kiro!" He ordered.

"Gladly," The tiger assassin said before running off.

"Kya, find a way into the city and open the gate so our soldiers can get inside,"

"Yes Master," Kya said running off as well.

Kiera pushed an armored soldier off the wall, she watched as he fell to his death below, she had no remorse for him, he had nearly killed her and Dega a couple of times, his steel armor had made him almost invincible, almost.

Kiera staggered away, a hand on her side and collapsed against Dega.

"I'm okay," She said straightening back up.

"Like hell you are, you need to rest," Dega said setting her against the wall.

"No," Kiera said stubbornly getting back to her feet, only to have Dega push her back down again.

"Just rest for a moment, and catch your breath," Dega told her.

"I'm fine," Kiera said a moment, later standing up.

She glanced out at Kai's army.

"It feels like the whole world has shown up to kill us," Kiera remarked.

"Not the whole world, just these guys," Dega pointed out.

Zina kicked Kiro off the top of the battering ram, he landed hard on his back and gasped. Zina dropped down near him, falling perfectly, she walked over to him and pointed her sword at his face.

"Give up yet?" She asked.

"No," Kiro said spitting blood on Zina's boot, before pulling his emergency dagger out, driving it into her calf muscle.

Zina yelled in anger and backed off, falling to a knee.

"Dai taught me that one," Kiro said standing up, collecting his battered staffs.

Zina tried to stand but fell to her knees again.

"Effective, don't you think," Kiro said.

Zina snarled and lunged at him swinging her sword at his neck, but Kiro was just out of reach, she fell into the mud.

Kiro chuckled at her lying in the mud.

Zina growled and threw one of her daggers at Kiro, it missed and hit the battering ram behind him.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Zina yelled trying to stand up once more but falling to the ground again.

"Give it up Zina," Kiro said, "You're never going to be able to beat me."

"What about me?"

Kiro whirled around and looked up to see Kya standing on top of the battering ram, broadsword in hand.

Kya jumped down from the battering ram and pointed her sword at Kiro.

"You got lucky last time, this time there's no one here to save you," Kya said.

"We'll see," Kiro said sparking his staff, only to have the weapon fizzle out and go dead from the damage it had suffered.

Kiro chuckled nervously looking at the weapon in his hand "Hang on, give me a sec…," he said before hitting the end of it on the ground, causing the staff to spark to life finally.

"There we go!" He exclaimed.

Kya yelled at him and charged forward swinging her broadsword in an upward arc.

Kiro blocked it with his staff, the weapon flickered but remained active. Kiro summoned a shield as Kya swung her sword sideways at him. The sword hit the shield and bounced off.

"Coward!" She snarled at him. "Face me like a real warrior!"

*Kya disdains the use magic and or chi, she thinks it is cheating and dishonorable*

"You want a real fight? I'll give you one!" Kiro said back dissipating the shield.

-Back at the wall-

Kiera ducked as a large flaming boulder flew over her head and crashed into the courtyard starting numerous fires.

"Put those fires out, quickly!" She yelled.

"We can't! I won't go out!" A soldier yelled throwing a bucket of water on the fire with no effect.

"Greek fire," Kiera muttered to herself.

"Take whatever is burning and throw it back over the wall!" Kiera said.

Another boulder crashed into the wall, taking out a large chunk of it. Everyone in the courtyard froze, Kiera tensed up and waited, watching the breach. A moment later enemy soldiers began streaming through the hole.

"Defend the courtyard!" Kiera yelled jumping down from the wall and rushing forward, to meet the enemy soldiers.

She twisted out of the way of a halberd to avoid being stabbed by its spike. She was outclassed here, and she knew it. The Halberd had a much further reach than her Katana did.

The soldier stabbed at her again, this time when Kiera twisted, she grabbed the weapon and tore it from the soldier's hands, she tossed the weapon aside and cut the soldier down with her katana.

"Push them back!" Kiera yelled

-Back with Kiro-

Despite the fact he was fighting Kya near the battering ram, it continued to be pushed closer and closer to the gate by Kai's soldiers. He quickly summoned up a strong wind with his staff and blew the enemy soldiers away from the ram, knocking them all over.

Kya hissed at him

"Heretic!" She shouted.

"Well, that's not a very nice thing to say," Kiro said back to her.

Tigress watched from a distance as Kiro and Kya collided again, Kya's sword reverberated against Kiro's summoned shield, Kya hit him under the chin with the pommel of her sword, Kiro stumbled back, slipping in the mud.

"Kiro!" Tigress yelled, punching a soldier near her, rushing toward him. Gods, she wasn't going to make it! Tigress put on an extra burst of speed, Kya saw her coming at the last moment and turned towards her, Tigress felt her sword pierce her abdomen before she collapsed to the ground.

"Tigress!" Kiro yelled as she fell. "No!"

Tigress lay on the ground, clutching her arms over her stomach, Kya stood over her, a stunned look on her face.

"I'm gonna kill you," Kiro growled. "I…"

Kiro was cut off by an arrow hitting his shoulder, it hit him with enough force to knock him off his feet, the arrowhead protruding from his back.

"Ow…"

"DAD!" Dega yelled seeing his father fall from his position on the wall.

On the ground in the courtyard, Kiera heard Dega's yell and turned to look up at him just as he jumped down off the wall.

"Dega, no!" Kiera yelled cutting down an enemy soldier, as Dega disappeared from view.

"Push them back!" Kiera yelled.

She dashed toward the breach in the wall and started to climb out.

"Where was Jiro with the Samurai? He should have been here by now," She wondered.

Kiera climbed up out of the hole in the wall and looked over the battlefield, and saw utter chaos unfolding in front of her. Kai's army was battling the remnants of the Imperial military, they were slowly losing ground. It would only be a matter of time before Kai's forces breached the wall.

She caught a glimpse of Dega running towards the giant battering ram, which would soon be close enough to breach the gate any moment now, and chased after him.

She caught up with him to see both Tigress and Kiro lying on the ground.

"DAD!" Dega yelled dropping to his knees next to his father.

"I just got the wind knocked outta me; I'm fine," Kiro mumbled.

"Mom!" Kiera said dropping down next to her mother.

Kiera's ear twitched, she threw herself backward just as Kya's sword cut through the air where she had been crouched a second before. She fell onto her back, propped up on her elbows, she looked up at Kya.

Thunder sounded, confusing Kiera, it was a perfectly clear day. There wasn't a storm cloud in sight. An electric shock hit Kya, knocking her off her feet, throwing her back several yards.

"What the…?" Kiera wondered looking around.

Her eyes fell on a familiar face, Saber's.

"Saber!" Kiera exclaimed seeing the sabertooth.

Kya meanwhile had recovered from the hit and slowly stood up with the help of her sword.

"Who on earth are you supposed to be?" She asked hefting her sword.

"I'm Saber," Saber said introducing himself while drawing his own sword.

Kya snarled at him, ready to attack.

The sound of a war horn sounded, making them all turn to where the sound had come from. Kiera smiled a little when she saw a line of Samurai warriors in the distance; it appeared her uncle had finally arrived with his Samurai.

Alas, the end is finally in sight for our Heroes. Will they prevail? Or will they fall to the pages of history?
