Po and tiger were walking along the path of the bamboo forest with po leading tiger to one of the spots of the forest he know, he's been there with the five even tigress before, po was taking him to a rocky hill or cliff whatever it was, but po knows it's located in the forest somewhere, He told tiger about how he and tigress climb up on it whenever he and her went on missions, but this was different, this is not a mission this is training, well for tiger actually.
"So po, are you sure that this area in this forest will boost up my strength and abilities ?" Tiger asked as he turned to po as they still walked along the path, po then turned looking at tiger with a smile.
"Tiger, I'm positive, whenever tigress and I climbed up this big rocky cliff, I had trouble climbing every time, but later on I started getting used to it, and when I started climbing my strength was growing a bit more." Po said hoping he is making sense to tiger about climbing upping his strength.
"That does sound true and that makes sense as well." Tiger said, he understood what had to go through to start climbing and jumping up some cliffs like tigress did, finally, they arrive at the location.
"This is the place." Po said pointing at the cliffs, as tiger looked at it, he looked amazed almost as if he was ready, but as a matter of fact he was ready a little bit.
"Whoa, that looks intense man." Tiger said a little bit of excitement, it did look intense, it's not like a rock climbing game it's was almost more like mountain climbing but only with high jumping climbing straight up like it's a wall and it was really high like around 50 or 65 ft tall.
"It does, trust me, I remembered climbing this once, I slipped and almost fell while climbing up this mountain, and when I tried to jump to another edge, I just barely caught it, but luckily I was able to make it to the top." Po said giving out another little story of how he barely managed to climb up these cliffs.
"Yeah, I definitely feel you, so what am I gonna do first ?" tiger asked remembering to start his training, po led him the wall of the cliffs and stopped in front of it.
"Ok, what you are gonna do first is that you are gonna climb at least halfway up this cliff, as you climb up, put pressure on your claws and feet, that's what tigress did when she climbed up cliffs like these." Po said giving tiger his first step, but he could tell that tiger was nervous.
"I don't know man, I mean, what if I fall and break a back or something ?" Tiger asked nervously but po placed his paw on his shoulder attempting to calm him down.
"Don't worry tiger, I'll stand down and catch you if you do, I promise, plus I believe in you,, you can do this." Po promised him as he placed another paw on his other shoulder, then he released them, tiger shook off his nervousness and took a few deep breath's before walking to the cliffs wall.
"You're right man, I believe in myself too, I'm a strong guy, I can do this." Tiger let out before he finally jumped onto the wall, he gripped onto it, then he started to climb, he did as what po told him, he placed pressure into his claws and feet and he was able to climb the cliff, as he climbed, he took his time, and it managed to bring some strength to him, he never experienced this before, he felt his smile growing in excitement and let about a laugh of excitement.
"DUDE, I'M DOING IT, THIS IS CRAZY" Tiger shouted down at po as he placed on paw around his mouth hoping to get a response from him.
"SEE I TOLD YOU CAN DO IT, NOW JUST ATLEAST CLIMB TO THAT EADG ALRIGHT ?!" Po shouted back at him, tiger nodded and went back to climbing, after climbing up a few more feet he grabbed the edge of the half point of the cliff, as he pulled himself up, he had a hard time but eventually he pulled himself up adding some more strength to his arms, when he pulled himself up fully, he stood up and looked down at po.
"YOU DID AWESOME !" Po shouted at him with excitement, as a response, tiger nodded back.
"Okay, take a deep breath and try to jump back d-" Po said but stopped when tiger already jumped off the edge and he landed on his feet, and luckily, he didn't break any legs.
"How did you do that ?" po asked in disbelief, he didn't think tiger would jump down like that and land perfect on his feet.
"Well, let's just say it was a lesson from my master." Tiger said, he couldn't remember exactly what master Kai said, so he had to say it was a lesson.
"Ok well, Before we head back, let's do a few more steps while we're at it." Po said with a smile, tiger being ready as he is, he bows to him.
"I'm ready" tiger said, promising po that he is ready for what he has next.
"Ok buddy, here's your next test." Po said preparing his next task for tiger.
Tiger climbed up the cliff a little bit over halfway up, seeing that he was pretty close to another cliff wall, he leapt off the wall he was on and landed on the other side but a little bit higher, then jumped back to the same wall he was on before but a little higher, he then pulled himself up on another ledge, he turns around and looks down at po, he bows to him, po bowed back, on his next task, he did the same task like he did already but what he did next was that after he pulled himself up, he looked up again to see another edge which was the last one before the top, he bent down and with as much power as he put into his legs, he jumped as high as he could and he was barely able to reach the edge of the rock, he pulled himself up, turned around to po, and then he bowed to him, although he was high up, po could tell he was bowing to him so he bowed back, the next task, tiger did pushups with one arm each, when he pushed himself up he would switch one arm each time, next task, he jogged back and forth a few times, his last task of the day, he did some sparring with po, he blocked some punches and took some light shots to po whenever he gets an open area of the body and on the next step of the sparring, po and tiger were sparring like it was a real fight but tiger had to go gentle on him, like the last spar, he blocked a few punches and kicks but po eventually tackled him to the ground and raised his fist, but tiger with quick think and the quick act of his strength, he rolled po off at him, raised his fist and lunged it but stopped it by inches, and in that moment helped po up, it was now evening and that's when he decided called it a day.
"Awesome work buddy, I think we should take a nap and get a goodnight sleep, but I think you need to eat a healthy dinner first." Po said smiling, feeling proud of his friend for training so hard thus far, he thinks he needs to get in good shape.
"Yeah, I know, as much as I want to disagree I sleeping the whole day and night, I have to stay strong, oh and just so I partly don't need t do the iron wood trees." Tiger said, he then punched a bamboo tree with his right fist really hard and punched another one down with his left arms, he felt no pain in his hands, wrists, or arms, he felt fine and strong at the same time.
"NICE, but don't do too much of that okay ?" Po said, tiger nodded, they walked back to the barracks of the jade palace, by then the sun was starting to set, before tiger and po could enter, po stopped tiger for a second so he can hear po's next plan in case they run into tigress.
"Ok tiger, listen closely, if we run into tigress in the hallway or the kitchen follow my lead, and I'll make you tofu stir fry since it's healthy enough to give you strength." Po said in a low stone so they couldn't hear him.
"Got it, and I would be upset if tigress found out, she would give me a wedgie heh heh heh, ok let's go in" tiger so in the same tone as po but almost loud. At that moment, they walked into the barracks, when they walked into the kitchen and the five were indeed eating dinner at the table.
"Hey po, you and tiger were late for dinner, where were you ?" Asked crane, that's when tigress joined in but not for an argument to say the least.
"Did you talk tiger out of this and don't lie." Tigress asked, it almost sounded like she demanded but she didn't say it that angry, but it sounded a little bit, but she wanted to make sure po didn't disobey her.
"(Sigh) Yeah and… It wasn't easy." Po said in an acting tone making it sound real.
"Yeah, I know it was complicated, but, we'll think of some other way to get tai lung." Tiger said, he then took a remaining seat at the table, and po started making the fried tofu without letting anyone see.
"I'm sorry brother, I know this was hard, but it's for the best." Tigress said, trying not to stay mad at him, tiger replied with a simple nod, After about a few minutes po handed tiger a plate of 4 cubes of fried tofu, he picked up his chop sticks and grabbed the first peace, when he was about to place it in his mouth, tigress stopped him.
"Tiger, why are you suddenly eating tofu ?" tigress asked with curiosity, tiger panicked but it wasn't shown as much, then he came up with a proper sentence.
"Oh, uh, I don't remember how to say this properly, but master kai said that I should start eating healthy and strong stuff a little more often so I can stay strong when I do some other fights and stuff, now can I please eat ?!" tiger said, that's when he placed the first peace in his mouth, he hated the taste but didn't want to show his reaction.
"Yeah, you have a lot of stuff to go through huh buddy ?" Po asked, tiger simply nodded and he barely ate the last remaining pieces of fried tofu, it wasn't easy but he wanted to be a man and show a new attitude.
"That was disgusting, but I had to deal with it." Tiger said with a little frustration, he then stood up straight from the chair with his paws still on the table.
"Uh tiger, I think this talk we had is getting to you, let's just get a goodnight sleep and I'm sure you'll have this rolled off your back heh heh." Po said laughing a bit nervously, then they left the kitchen walking to po's room which had a second bed placed in there for a roommate of his. At this moment, tigress was starting to get a bit suspicious.
"But wait, it's a bit early to get some sleep." Monkey said with confusion on why they decided to go to bed so early.
"Calm down, first I'm pretty sure tiger wants to get a good sleep so this is out of his head and shifu does have a new training tip for us tomorrow, so I'm sure he wants us to be ready for it." Viper said, trying to get through to monkey so he wouldn't even give out more details, but tigress gave out a glare of suspicious out the kitchen door, and at this moment, it was not good for po and tiger.
