Reborn and Training

"Ughhhh" I speak aloud, my body feels, fine? I immediately lift my hand up to my face, to my shock, it's not riddled with long and deep cuts, instead, it's like a human's hand, except covered in white fur and black spots, like a snow leopard. So I'm a human-like snow leopard? Weird, but at least I'm alive, I'm most likely not in my own world anymore considering that I am capable of speech, and I have human-like hands and feet, they are just padded, presumably to make me able to run faster. "AAAAAAGHHHH" I scream into my pillow, memories flooding into my brain, my name is Ares, I workout every day, I'm 14, my body is very conditioned, 6 pack abs easily visible, I've wanted to be like the dragon warrior, and the furious five, who had just recently beaten Tai Lung, I'm far above average in everything I do, and my dad is a goose named Mr. Ping, my brother is the dragon warrior himself, Po. It would seem I'm not in that man's basement anymore, I'm 2 years younger, and I'm in the world of Kung Fu Panda. Oh my god, I'm in the world of Kung Fu Panda, wait, I need to calm down, surely I can get kung fu training right? I'm already as fit as a martial artist, I just have to convince Po to ask Master Shifu, actually scratch that. I'll just run up the stairs. "Dad, I'm going out, I'll be home by 11!" I Yell out to my new father. "Alright Ares, let me pack a lunch for you, you'll get hungry without one." my dad responds to me, and my eyes roll subconsciously.

Timeskip to the stairs.

None of my older brothers' friends have met me yet, nor has Master Shifu, The Furious Five has only heard of me, and Master Shifu has probably heard of me too considering how much Po loves to talk. I'm at the Jade Palace now, and it's beautiful, I think I hear Po and The Furious Five training, I definitely hear them training. I run to the noise, going through the doors of The Jade Palace and into another room. I watch in awe at the martial artists, their punches and kicks, and twists, all in midair look stunning. "Oh hey, bro, what are you doing here!" Po yells, belly-bumping a dummy. Master Shifu and the others look at me, Shifu's eyes contain sadness within them staring at my figure, no doubt reminding him of Tai Lung. "I want to learn Kung Fu." I bluntly state, Po looks excited while the others don't seem too amused, by others I mean Tigress. "I will bring you to the 1000 scrolls of Kung Fu, master them within a month's time or I will not let you stay here and practice Kung Fu." Master Shifu looks at me and says, I'm utterly flabbergasted right now, I didn't expect to not have to beg them to let me learn, Master Shifu immediately said I could, and he gave me a whole month, I mean it took Tai Lung years, but who cares, I can do it in 1 month, there's no way I'll fail.

I mastered the scrolls in 2 weeks, and they're going to check up on me in 1 more week, I've been practicing and I've noticed something strange about my body, it is very adaptive, and I heal fast, I was able to almost instantly ingrain the martial arts into muscle memory, I've been punching ironwood trees and my hands are already like Tigresses, I get one more week and 2 days to practice and than I'm going to show them what I got.

Today is the day they're all going to see if I can stay here as a student. I am currently standing in the training hall, everyone is here too, waiting for Master Shifu to let me start, they all don't seem like they expect much, and I wouldn't either it takes others years, so for somebody with no martial arts experience to completely master all of the scrolls, in less than 10 years nonetheless, it sounds preposterous, but it's true. "So, did you finish?" Master Shifu asks, mockery apparent in his voice, "Yeah I finished at the 2-week mark, it was pretty easy, I've just been honing my skills." I watch all of their eyes widen, shock visible on their faces. "If that's true then spar Monkey, if you win, you can pick a weapon from the hall of warriors." Master Shifu says, I nod and take off my weights, they thud as I let them fall to the floor, I get into a fighting stance, a mix of all of the martial arts in the scrolls, and Monkey does the same, albeit a different stance. "Start!" Master Shifu yells. I rush towards Monkey, throwing a high roundhouse kick towards his face that he dodges, I use my momentum to throw a hook kick at him, spinning on the ground as I do, it catches him off guard and he gets hit, he flings through the air, flipping while blood comes out of his nose, he lands on his feet after he flips, shock is on everyone's face once again. Monkey charges at me, *Spinning hook kick* I hear in my mind as I block his spinning hook kick, grab his leg and flip him onto his back, I immediately fling my fist towards his face, stopping mere inches from it and flipping off of him, "So, do I get to stay?" I ask aloud, snapping everybody out of their shocked state. Po looks happy, Monkey looks shocked, and the others look the same. Shifu looks like he's about to burst into excitement, oh no, he's going to treat me like he did with Tai Lung. I guess that's not a bad thing though, just means I get better training, and I'll be his favorite. "Yes you did, I'll arrange a room for you immediately, you can have my old room as I do not use it anymore," he replies, everyone is yet again shocked, Tigress looks like she's jealous and shocked, while Po looks happy and shocked. "I already looked in the hall of warriors and I saw something I liked, it was a ring that was black and red, with a red diamond on the top and some smaller ones scattered on the side, "Of course, you must be talking about the unknown armor, no one has been able to wield it, when Master Oogway first found it, it was armor but when he went to grab it, it turned into a ring, nobody has been able to wield it in history, maybe you will be the first," Master Shifu says. "I sure hope so." I reply.
