Intro. The Jade Palace gates creaked open, revealing Maxine—Tigress’s long-time rival. Her confident smirk immediately set the atmosphere on edge. The Furious Five exchanged curious glances, but Tigress stood at the front, arms crossed, her golden eyes unblinking.
“Welcome to the Jade Palace,” Master Shifu said calmly, though he sensed the tension.
Maxine bowed politely, but her gaze lingered on Tigress. “I never thought I’d be invited here,” she said, voice edged with challenge.
Tigress stepped forward, her expression unreadable. “You were invited as a guest, not an opponent. Remember that.”
For a moment, silence stretched. Then Maxine smirked again. “Relax, Tigress. I’m not here to fight… unless you want me to.”
The room stiffened, but instead of reacting with anger, Tigress took a deep breath. She turned, leading the way into the palace. “Then let’s see if you can behave like a guest. The Jade Palace is built on respect, not rivalry.”
Behind her, Maxine’s smirk faltered just slightly.
