Furiously Big

(BiggerBetterBarbie; idea by Gonzanick108)

As the sun rose on another day, Tigress took the time to stop walking after she finished ascending the hill. It gave her a gorgeous view of the sunrise that was too irresistible to ignore.
"Nature has truly blessed us with views like this." Tigress said. But then she looked down the hill and shook her head.
"Alas, I can't waste another second. I promised Po and everyone else I would return to the Jade Palace today." Tigress said. She had spent the last few days away to train by herself, improving her fighting skills tremendously.

On her way through the plains, however, a couple more things would catch her eyesight. Of course there was the Valley of Peace in the distance, and the tall mountain on which Jade Palace resided. Then there was the small village at the bottom of the hill, which reminded her of the village she was once raised in. Finally there was the most important catch of all. A large cave entrance.
"Hmmm? I wonder what's in this cave." Tigress said as she tried to peek inside, but the darkness was too thick. She then reached down and picked up a small branch, stroking it with incredible speed on the ground and lighting it like a match with a flame burning on top.
"Why not? I haven't spelunked in a long time." Tigress said. The tiger lady carefully made her way inside, doing her best to stay ready just in case she was ambushed.

However, she found very little resistance while walking through the cave. Pretty much the only sounds she heard inside were drops of water falling from the ceiling and hitting the floor. Tigress made sure to leave a trail of leaves to make sure she didn't get lost, but eventually that would prove not to be an issue. After a few minutes of going through one tunnel after another, Tigress came across what seemed like a dead end.
"Pfffft… I guess there's nothing in here." Tigress said. She turned around and started to walk back in the direction she came from, but after feeling a part of the floor sink beneath her feet, like she had stepped on a hidden tile, the room shook ever so slightly. Tigress then watched as a pedestal rose from the floor in the center of the room, and on that pedestal was a dusty old scroll. Tigress approached the scroll and examined it.
"What's this? An old scroll?" Tigress said. She picked it up and blew on it, feeling the dust come flying off in multiple directions, causing her to cough.
"*cough cough!* Judging by the dust, it's probably as old as time and space itself!" Tigress said. After the dust subsided, Tigress finally opened up the scroll which contained nothing but Chinese text. Of course, she had no trouble translating it.
"The Technique of Gigantification?" Tigress said. She tried to read the rest of it, but found the small print too hard to read even with the help of a makeshift torch.
"I need to take this outside." Tigress said. She followed the trail of leaves she left behind and eventually exited the cave altogether.

With the aid of the sunlight, Tigress could better make out the rest of the text on the scroll.
"Sai Weng shi ma, yan zhi fei fu…" Tigress said as she started to read the scroll.
"Xiaodong bu bu, dadong chi ku…" Tigress said as she read the next line. A few more lines followed suit, but it was the next line that proved to be important.
"Fee fi fo fum, yibu yige jiaoyin." Tigress said. She stood still for the next few seconds… but nothing happened. She tried reading the entire scroll again at a faster pace, but there was still no action.
"Pfffft… this scroll's probably got no power anymore. Whatever." Tigress said as she tossed the scroll over her shoulder and left it behind her.
But after only taking a few steps, Tigress then turned around and watched the scroll begin to bounce around on the ground. Then she watched a wave of blue energy come storming out of the scroll towards her.
"Ack!" Tigress said as she tried to block the sudden energy wave. Eventually she had to shield her eyes to keep from being blinded by the light.

When Tigress finally opened her eyes a few seconds later, the scenery looked remarkably different.
"Huh? This hill is suddenly a lot smaller." Tigress said as she looked down and saw the hill was no bigger than her big toe now. That's when it dawned on her what happened.
"Gasp! Wait… that scroll! The Technique of Gigantification! Now I understand… it has made me gigantic!" Tigress said. She didn't know exactly how big she had grown, almost 100 feet tall to be precise, but it was quite large, especially seeing a distant village appear much smaller in her eyes. She stared at this village (which was not the village that Po once lived in and was so close to the Jade Temple) for seemingly a long time. Then she smiled.
"I suppose it won't hurt to pay that little village a visit. Well… not for me. I'm not so sure for that little village. Hmmhmm…" Tigress said with a somewhat sinister smile. The giantess slowly stomped her way towards the village. Unknown to her, the scroll floated in mid air and flew its way into her clothing.

Life was peaceful in the village, although that peace would soon be disturbed in a big way. It all started with the ground thumping and loud booms in the sky, both of which got louder and stronger with each passing second. As animals of many different species all looked around trying to figure out what was causing these quakes, one female panda was quick to find the cause as she looked up and pointed.
"Eeeeek! Giantess!" the panda shouted. Everyone gasped and looked up at the gigantic Tigress that easily towered over their village. She had her arms folded and an evil smirk on her face.
"What are you all staring at!? Haven't you ever seen a giant tiger lady, a master at Kung Fu by the way, who is about to stomp your village flatter than Chinese noodles?" Tigress asked. After the giantess stomped her foot, the citizens of the village finally got the hint and started running around like crazy. Tigress, in the meantime, took her walk nice and slow, relishing in the sights and sounds of animals running around like crazy. Interestingly, she made sure not to crush any animals flat that got underneath her bare feet, bringing them down within inches of where she stepped. Empty houses, on the other hand, were a different story. As she watched an entire family evacuate one of the houses, she raised her foot up and slammed it down on the house, crushing it flat and leaving it as nothing more than a pile of rubble.

She didn't let just her feet do the talking, however. Demonstrating the raw strength of her hands, Tigress kneeled down and punched a house into the ground with her fists, leaving behind a crater worthy of a meteor falling from the sky. Speaking of her hands, Tigress used them to scoop up a group of scared animals. She didn't make them feel any better when she licked her lips with her tongue and gave them a close up view of her face.
"I wonder if you'll taste any better than the tasty treats I had as a kid." Tigress said as she opened her mouth and started to shove them down into her mouth… but then stopped.
"No. I still have a moral code… one that I should not dishonor." Tigress said as she got down on her knees and set the animals back down.
"But you better get running before I change my mind!" Tigress said as she quickly raised a foot up in the air, slamming it down just as the animals escaped from underneath.
"Mmmmm… just doing that makes me feel gooooooood. If only the rest of the Furious Five could share in this power. Not Po, though… he can already cause earthquakes just with his stomach! Hahaha!" Tigress said as she got back to casually stomping around the village, demolishing one house after another.

Speaking of the Furious Five, the rest of that group watched from the edge of Jade Temple their comrade rampage around. They were of course joined by Master Shifu and the Dragon Warrior himself, Po. As high as the mountain that Jade Temple was, they had a crystal clear view of the giant Tigress rampaging around the temple.
"Yikes! Look at Tigress grow… er, go, I mean!" Crane said.
"She was big enough at her normal size. I'd hate to come even within 5 inches of those paws…" Mantis said.
"Guys, this is serious! Look at all the animals running away from her! Doesn't she realize the danger she's putting them in?" Po asked.
"We know, Po. But what could've caused her to grow like that?" Viper asked.
"The Technique of Gigantification." Shifu said immediately. This caused everyone to look at their master.
"Please, Master Shifu. You must tell us about this technique." Po said.
"It's an old scroll from thousands of years ago that gave whoever spoke its magic words the power to grow many times in size and strength. Many great warriors used the power of the scroll to win battles and eventually wars, but once it was realized that the scroll could cause untold devastation and loss of innocent living life if it fell into the wrong hands, its writers buried the scroll many miles underground, hoping it would never be found again." Shifu said.
"Well, Tigress found it." Monkey said.
"Yes, Monkey. And we must stop her and the scroll before it's too late." Shifu said.
"Too late?" Po asked.
"Once the scroll has charged up to full power after a couple hours, Tigress will be stuck that big forever, and the darkness of evil warriors' past will consume her heart and send her on a destructive spree the likes China has never seen." Shifu said.
"Ooooof… that's rough." Po said.
"Master Shifu, we are up to the challenge." Crane said as he and the other members of the Furious Five bowed at their master.
"Good. Now go! And make sure that scroll is destroyed on time! Only then will Tigress revert to her normal self!" Shifu said. Po stepped in front of the group and slammed his fists together.
"Alright, fellow masters. Let's go!" Po shouted. Admiring the incredible bravery the Dragon Warrior displayed, the rest of the Furious Five followed suit and they ran (and jumped across rooftops) as fast as they could for the village that Tigress was rampaging all over.

20-30 minutes pass, and well over half of the village has been decimated by the gigantic Tigress, who didn't relent one bit on her rampage.
"Fufufu… when I'm finished, I'll find a much bigger village to destroy! Oh! The adrenaline crawling through my stripes is just too much!" Tigress said. By now, the village was cleared completely of innocent animals, save for a few who got hurt during the evacuation, but a few more were about to adorn the feet of the giantess. Tigress watched as Crane, Viper, Mantis (who she couldn't see due to the massive size difference), Monkey, and Po all arrived in their fighting poses.
"That's far enough, Tigress!" Viper shouted.
"Hmmm… if it isn't the Furious Five, or maybe I should say the Fun Size Five!" Tigress said.
"Tigress, Master Shifu has told us everything. You must come to your senses!" Po said.
"My senses have never been more clear, Po. The power… the absolute power I now possess! I can't believe we didn't harness it before!" Tigress shouted.
"But you are failing to see the consequences of that power! Look around you! Take in the sights of the damage you have caused as well as the fear you are instilling in these creatures!" Monkey said.
"Grrrrr… I don't take lip from insects like you! And speaking of insects…" Tigress said as she raised one of her feet up.
"Heads up!" Po said as he and the rest of the Furious Five scattered before they got crushed.
"She's left us no choice, Po." Mantis said.
"Sadly, you're right. We'll keep her distracted while you try and fetch the scroll Master Shifu talked about." Po said.
"Huh? Why me?" Mantis said.
"You're the smallest, so she won't notice you." Crane said.
"Crane's right… you'll be like a mosquito to her!" Viper said.
"That's comforting to know." Mantis said as he rolled his eyes. Everyone else ran around doing their best to keep the giant Tigress occupied.

Po was probably the most 'traditional' of the giant distracting methods. She ran up to Tigress's feet and made a silly face up at the giantess.
"Hey, Tigress! Bet you can't step on me!" Po said.
"We shall see!" Tigress said as she raised her foot up and tried to step on Po, but he quickly dodged out of the way. For a fat panda, Po proved to be very nimble, keeping his balance even as the ground shook with each step Tigress took. Crane also helped matters by flying circles around Tigress's head, flying by in a flash and keeping her from having perfect vision.
"Arrrrrgh! Stop flying around me, you pest!" Tigress shouted as she tried clapping her hands together, only for Crane to fly out of the way. This gave Monkey a chance to strike as he rapidly punched one of Tigress's ankles.
"Ow! You!" Tigress said as she tried to slap Monkey away with the back of her hand.
While all this was going on, this gave Mantis the opportunity to dive into the gigantic hairs of fur on Tigress's foot. As he expected, the furs towered over him like trees in a forest, and it didn't make him feel any better when he crawled up inside Tigress's pants, cutting off all light from the outside.
"Reeeeeeeeal comforting." Mantis said.

While Mantis continued to ascend the giant Tigress, she was slowly but surely gaining the upper hand. She finally timed one of her claps together and trapped Crane inside.
"Crane!" Po and the others shouted. Tigress opened up her hands and allowed Crane to fall all the way down into the waiting arms of Po and Monkey.
"Whoa… now I know how it feels to get swallowed by a Chinese Fly Trap…" Crane said. Po smiled.
"A sense of humor even in defeat. That's a good sign." Po said.
"But what about that!?" Monkey said as he pointed up at Tigress bringing down one of her feet. Everyone didn't have time to scramble out from underneath, but Po was not about to down in defeat. He held his arms up and used every ounce of his strength to hold the foot up.
"Arrrrrrrgh… everyone… go!" Po shouted.
"What about you? We don't leave anyone behind!" Crane said.
"Hurry!" Po said as the weight began to take its toll on the Dragon Warrior. Viper was not about to stand idly by and watch the Dragon Warrior get crushed, and so with quick thinking, she slithered underneath Tigress's foot and gently poked her tail on the sole.
"Yeowch!" Tigress shouted as she stumbled backwards, finally losing her balance and landing on her behind, taking out several houses underneath. Po and the others looked surprised down at Viper.
"What? It was simple and to the point." Viper said.
"Point taken." Po said. The others nodded with him.

As Tigress was slowly getting back to her feet, the others looked at chest level of the giantess, where they saw a scroll suddenly pop out from her clothing.
"Look! That must be the scroll!" Monkey shouted.
"I got it! I GOT IT!!!" Mantis shouted.
"Way to go, Mantis!" Po said. Tigress looked down and saw the scroll poking out of her clothing, not realizing it was Mantis who was holding onto it.
"Hey! Give that back!" Tigress shouted as she reached down to grab the scroll.
"Meeeeep!" Mantis shouted as he took the scroll and hurled it in the air like a soccer ball. After bouncing off Tigress's knee, Po and the others ran around trying to catch the ball. Despite comically running into each other and piling atop one another, Monkey triumphantly held the scroll up in the air.
"Yeah! Score!" Monkey said.
"Nice catch, Monkey!" Po said.
"Yeah… now will everyone get off my vertabrae!?" Viper shouted as everyone scrambled off each other. As for Mantis, he flew down Tigress's body with lightning speed, quickly rejoining with his friends.
"Whoa… Mantis. That was fast!" Po said.
"Never underestimate the great speed of the mantis." Mantis said.
"He's right, you know. I made the bad mistake of challenging him to a noodle run years ago." Crane said.
"Uh… less reminiscing and more focusing on big bad Tigress!" Viper said as she was the first to see Tigress get up to her feet.

Our heroes watched as Tigress marched up to them with an angry look on her face.
"Po… now would be a good time to rip that scroll to shreds!" Crane said. Po stretched and pulled with all his might, and also tried punching a hole right through the scroll's paper, but it proved to be indestructible.
"Ugh… what's with this paper!? I can't cut through it!" Po said. Mantis took a swipe at it but couldn't slice it himself. Monkey was quick to realize why.
"It must be one of those scrolls you have to burn in order to destroy it AND wipe out its effects!" Monkey shouted.
"Then let's find a torch fast! And furiously!" Po said as he and the other heroes all darted away from Tigress, who proceeded to chase them through the remains of the village that our heroes were jumping over.

The chase went on for a couple minutes until the group finally came to a burning section of the village.
"Look! A huge fire!" Viper said. Tigress looked ahead and lightly gasped. Po walked to a few feet away from the wall of flames.
"Time to cook this scroll like my father's famous noodles!" Po said as he threw the scroll into the flames.
"Nooooooo!!!" Tigress shouted as she helplessly watched the scroll instantly dissolve into ashes upon contact with the flame. As this happened, her body glowed a bright white, causing everyone to shield their eyes.

When the light died down, everyone looked and saw Tigress, who was passed out and laying on her back… but more importantly back to her normal size.
"Whew… I never thought I'd be so glad to see a village with intensely burning flames." Crane said.
"You and me both, Crane." Mantis said. Po was the first to run up to Tigress and kneel beside her. He gently lifted up her head and lightly shook it.
"Come on, Tigress! Speak to me!" Po said. Tigress slowly opened her eyes.
"Mmmmmmmm… what happened? Where am I?" Tigress said.
"Easy there, Tigress. You went through a big adventure." Po said.
"Oooooh… you're not kidding. I had the weirdest dream where I was 100 feet tall, stomping on houses left and right, and then I tried to stomp on you five. And I couldn't stop… it was like some force was telling me to have that kind of giant fun. Weird, isn't it?" Tigress asked. Po and the rest of the Furious Five looked around at each other.
"Oh, not really. Anything's possible with kung fu. Right, guys?" Po said. The rest of the heroes quickly nodded their heroes.
"I suppose. Huh?" Tigress said. She quickly got up and saw the group of houses burning.
"Hey! We've got to put out those fires!" Tigress said. Po looked at Tigress and the rest of the heroes.
"All together, gang?" Po said.
"Let's do it!" Crane said.

All six kung fu masters all got in their stances and then, all together, planted a foot forward and thrust both their arms outward. This caused an intense gust of wind to blow, causing all the fires to go out and leaving the houses a smoldering and smoky mess. Most of them were still standing however.
"Whew… and that's that." Po said. The group then turned around and saw Master Shifu running in.
"Oh, thank goodness you're all okay. Obviously the scroll has been destroyed seeing Tigress back to her normal size. Oh, and nice teamwork putting the fires out." Shifu said.
"Huh? So it really happened? It wasn't a dream?" Tigress asked.
"It's a long story, Tigress. And one we'll tell once we get back to Jade Temple." Po said.
"Indeed. Let us return there immediately." Shifu said.
"Hey, wait! What about those who live in this village?" Crane asked.
"You need not worry about them. I already told them what happened. They already forgive you, Tigress, for what happened." Shifu said.
"Well, that's a relief. Now I'm really anxious to get back to Jade Temple. And not just for that reason." Tigress said.
"Why else, Tigress?" Viper asked.
"Because I'm REALLY hungry. I haven't eaten in what feels like a few hours." Tigress said. The others just laughed as they all made their way out of the village to return to the mountain where Jade Temple resided.

And just like that, life slowly returned to normal for the villagers, and with the Technique of Gigantification scroll destroyed, there seemingly wouldn't be another giantess attack anywhere in China again.

Provided there aren't any other caves with similar magical scrolls that haven't been discovered yet. ^______^
