How to Train Your Dragon Warrior
Shifu has finally got fed up with Po's lack of discipline. The small master has decided to send Po away, to train on the Obsidian Palace with the legendary Master Trancing Rhino. Upon arriving Po is welcome by the rhino and by his star student, Master Tao. Po is excited to meet a famous Kung Fu Master, but he is totally planning to continue doing the same he was doing back on the Jade Palace. Little does he knows that Trancing Rhino has his own way of making slacking students like him disciplined.
For continuating purposes, this story takes place on the universe of "Legends of Awesomeness"
The Tian Shan mountains.
One of the most famous landmarks of Asia. A set of majestic mountains on the Northwest of China. Said to be the home of the deity Khan Tengri, who resided on the seconds tallest of its peaks, making it a popular place for peregrination and adoration for the followers of the Lord of All Spirits.
The mountains themselves were as majestic as a mountain range can be. Being a target of wonder, admiration and awe of everyone who came to see them.
Save, of course, when you were a person who had to travel through those mountains all by yourself with the sun shining high above your head so hot that it felt like your brain would be deep-fried if you didn't find a shade on the next thirty minutes.
Like a certain panda who was currently panting and groaning to himself, wondering why was it that he had to be forced to do through such a probation.
Po was definitely not the most athletic of guys. He was the Dragon Warrior and all, but he was not made for long travels on foot. Especially when the terrain he had to walk through was as irregular as the one of a mountain range.
The fact he was carrying an oversized backpack on him with all of the things he could possibly need during the travel certainly didn't helped. Neither did the fact that Po ate the last of his food on the previous day, and had to go the rest of this day without a decent meal. The rumbling of his stomach could be heard all around the mountains.
Well, at least the guys in there will know I'm at the door. Po thought to himself as he forced himself to continue the travel, his feet killing him as much as his stomach, and his body so sweaty that his fur and shorts were completely damp.
You would expect a mountain range not to be so hot...
Po was relieved when he finally saw the place he was supposed to go on a distance. It was a big building. Bigger than the Jade Palace, and completely build in a way that the predominant color in there was black. As Po came closer, rushing to be able to get in there and end his journey as fast as possible, he could see that the walls were made of a special type of marble, black as the night and with crimson red veins running all over it, what did gave the place a little of a creepy, eerie air.
However, tired as Po was, he could not bother to actually notice if the place he was going to was creepy or not, if it meant he would get a cool shade to rest, a big jug of water to drink and a generous plate of food to eat.
Po was nearly ready to vomit when he arrived at the gates, black and crimson like the rest of the walls, and as imposing as the whole edification proved to be. Once Po managed to swallow back his vomit and recompose himself, he could take a moment to admire the temple he just arrived into.
Yeah, this was the Obsidian Palace, alright.
Po decided to go acclimatizing with the place, she this was where he would be spending the next three months.
Now, don't you go thinking that Po decided to there on his own. I mean, he wasn't one to complain about the place or anything, but he was not there by his own initiative. This was all Shifu's doing.
Shifu got really mad at Po. All because lately Po has been skipping training and making more breaks to rest and to eat. He also mentioned something about Po leaving food crumbs all over the Hall of Heroes, as well as spilling sticky creamy rice all over Oogway's staff.
Po had grown used to have Shifu yelling at him, but he was not ready to hear what Shifu said to him on that day.
"You're sending me away!?" Po asked, shocked.
"For three months." Shifu confirmed, glaring at the panda.
"B-but you can't! I mean, I'm the Dragon Warrior! I need to protect the Valley! And I need to help my Dad with the restaurant, and I need to stay here so I'll not miss on the delivery of the new scroll of the adventures of Master Wung."
"Me and the Five will stay here." Shifu said to the panda. "Your father has that new helper on his restaurant, and he will be fine, and I'm sure the world will not end if you miss a few scrolls of those ridiculous stories. There will be no problem for you to stay away for only three months."
"But-"
"This lack of discipline of yours has gone too far, panda!" Shifu cut Po off before he could properly protest. "You've been skipping training, and this is reflecting on your fighting style. Don't try to pretend not to notice you gotten slower on the previous weeks! And your arms are starting to get flabbier! I tried dealing with you the best I could, but I reached my last nerve with you! I'm sending you to the Obsidian Palace for three months. You will be training under Master Trancing Rhino."
"Master Trancing Rhino!? You mean that Master Trancing Rhino!?" Po asked, all of sudden growing excited, but this excitement was quickly shot down by the words of the small red panda he called his master.
"Rhino is an old friend of mine. I already talked with him through letters about your case, and he is fully in agreement with the idea. You will meet few masters on the whole China who can discipline and train others as well as he does. I'm sure that he will take care of you." Shifu said.
"Believe me, panda. Three months with him will certainly be good for you. You will see. Trancing Rhino will certainly whip your body and mind into shape."
Whip my body and mind into shape... I'm not sure if I like the sound of that. Po thought to himself back on the day Shifu announced him he would be leaving. Then he thought it a second time on the following day, when he was departing in direction to the Obsidian Palace. And now, as he stood before the great gates of the kung fu temple, Po caught himself thinking that once again.
Po still didn't understood why he had to come all the way there just to train. I mean, he could train on the Jade Palace. So what if he made a few breaks to eat and recover his breath? Wasn't that important so he would be able to continue training without collapsing?
Also, being the great warrior who saved China and the Valley of Peace over a few dozens of times already, didn't he had the right to take a break from training at one moment or another?
Shifu was overreacting. There was no need to send him away from home for three whole months just to train. He would be losing a lot of the editions of his favorite stories! I mean, come on!
It didn't seemed necessary at all.
Well, on the bright sight, Po would have this one in a lifetime chance to meet one of the most legendary kung fu masters on China... That was always a plus.
Po decided to just knock on the door and see if someone would open.
No one did.
Then Po knocked again.
Once more, there was no answer from the guys on the other side.
Had they not heard him?
"Hey!" Po said, banging on the door with a closed fist. "Hey! Heeeeeeey! Anyone home? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey!"
Suddenly, there was a long sound coming from the door, as if it was unlocking. The whole door jolted, and Po took a step back as the massive black and red doors opened ever so slowly, allowing Po to take a look inside of the place.
When the doors stopped, Po only looked at the inside, before looking down at the person who opened the door.
The bunny was wearing a robe of the same black and red colors of the rest of the temple. It actually combined a little with his golden fur. A little bit...
"May I help you?" The bunny asked in a very formal way to the newcomer, looking up at him with his blue eyes. Po was a little awkward for a moment, before he eventually spoke to the bunny:
"Uhhh, I'm Po, the Dragon Warrior... Shifu sent me to stay here for three months. You know, kind of an exchange kung fu student program?"
The bunny looked at him for a few moments, and then he opened a friendly smile to the panda.
"Ah, Dragon Warrior." He said, his voice sounding friendly, but somehow distant and emotionless. "Yes, we were informed of your arrival. Master Trancing Rhino has been waiting for you. Please, come inside."
Po didn't needed to be told twice. As he walked inside, the bunny closed the doors behind the panda, and the heavy sound of the doors locking could be hear. It did sound a bit ominous...
"Please, follow me." The bunny said, and soon Po was following him deeper into the temple.
Once inside, Po could take in how big and amazing the place was. The Obsidian Palace, before being a kung fu temple, used to be the fortress of an evil warlord who tried to take over that region of China with an army of enslaved soldiers. It certainly looked like a fortress from the inside, nearly a small town on its own right. Complete with small houses where people slept, as well as places to eat and, of course, the toilets. It certainly looked like it could house an entire army.
And an army was what the group of students training all around seemed, all of them wearing the same black and red robes as the bunny.
Their voices rose and echoed into the walls of the fortress as they continued training. Some of them were sparring, showing great skill as they fought in pairs, in trios or even in quads. Others of them were repeating routines, practicing kung fu moves as they synchronized themselves by repeating words and syllables as they made each one of the movements they were practicing, making them seem like one single person.
And they actually did, with the way they made those perfectly synchronized movements of theirs. From small bunnies to the big elephants. From the feathered birds to the reptiles of smooth and shinning scales. All of them moved with the utmost discipline, making their movements, punches, kicks and screams in perfect synchronicity.
Their synchrony was so perfect that Po was starting to find it unsettling...
"HALT!"
Po nearly jumped out of his shorts when he heard that booming voice resound all over the place. His backpack fell loudly into the ground, making a loud sound as everything Po had stored inside clattered to the ground. At the same time, everyone on the temple stopped on their tracks, and they remained frozen in place, nearly as if paused, for a full two seconds, before they all stood in perfect position, all of them standing like soldiers waiting for the next command of their general. All of them facing the same direction.
Even the bunny who scouted Po inside was now standing into attention, straight and stiff as a board, as he looked in the same direction as everyone else.
Looking at where everyone was looking, Po could see two figures standing on the top of a long flight of stairs. They stood there for a few moments, before they started to make their way down those stairs.
Po looked at the two figures as they made their way towards him, and he was able to take a good look at those two figures approaching.
The first one was a rhino. He looked mostly like most rhinos do, with grey thick skin and a big, imposing horn. As the rhino approached, Po could tell that there was a pattern engraved on the horn, looking like spirals. The Rhino looked the same type of robe as the rest of the people of the temple, with the difference that his robe also had golden details in it, as if to mark him as more than a mere student. Behind his big horn, his pair of yellow eyes focused on the panda as he approached.
"At ease!" The rhino said loud and, as one, all of the animals who stopped on their tracks and stood in attention, relaxed ever so slightly, and they all just stood there, as if they were waiting for the next command.
Po looked at them, with a raised eyebrow, before his attention was call by the Rhino's voice.
"Master Po, the Dragon Warrior, I presume." The rhino said once he was within close range to the panda. He was smiling warmly at the panda as he approached. "You don't know how much I looked forward to finally having the chance to meet you."
"Oh, thanks." Po said, "And you are him. You are him, aren't you? I mean, you must be, since you are the only rhino around here. I mean, not that I'm one to make assumptions or anything, but you are him, aren't you? You got the spirals on your horn and everything, just like Thundering Rhino had the clouds. Oh, you are him!"
"So, I assume this means you heard of me, just as I heard of you." The rhino said to the panda, the friendly smile never leaving his face.
"You kidding? Of course I heard about you!" Po said, sounding as excited as he usually was when he met another famous kung fu master. "You are the Grandmaster Trancing Rhino! One of the greatest apprentices of Master Flying Rhino! You are the one who fought the tarantulas of the Gorge of Despair! You are the one who freed the Danbao village from the oppressive grip of the Twin Boar Warlords! And you are the one who defeated the terrible Cao Zhao!"
"I know the whole story! Cao Zhao was a terrible chi sorcerer who used his evil chi magic to create an object of immense power, the Zhao Sapphire! The Sapphire had the power to cause anyone who looked at it to be put into a magic trance in which they would be slaves to the will of whoever was the one holding the sapphire. He had enslaved half of the province when you arrived to fight him and stop his evil plots! You stormed into his fortress, fighting all of the enslaved minions without harming them with the use of your Gentle Horn Technique. Then you faced Cao Zhao. He tried to use the Sapphire on you, but then you charged at him with your legendary Hard Horn Strike! You destroyed the Zhao Sapphire, freed everyone he had enslaved and brought Cao Zhao into justice! Then you took over the place that once was Cao Zhao's fortress and turned it into the Obsidian Palace, where you now pass down the teachings of kung fu to all of your students!"
Po said, all the while a movie of the adventure he just narrated played into his head, with the rhino looking at him all the while.
"You made your proper research about me, I see." Rhino said to him, and Po continued:
"Oh, I sure did! And I also know that, when you destroyed the Zhao Sapphire, part of its magic got embedded into your horn. As a result, you gained a unique mystical power. Your horn has a small portion of the mind-controlling powers of the Sapphire, and it allows you to take control over others!"
"But your control is very limited. You can only control others who are within close distance of you, and only for short amounts of time. Still, this ability to control others has allowed you to defeat some of the most terrible foes China has ever seen with your unique style: the Trancing Horn Style."
"My, my." Rhino said as he looked at the panda. "The Dragon Warrior himself knows practically all that there's to know about me. This is a great honor."
Po couldn't help but giggle. It didn't matter for how long he has been the Dragon Warrior, Po was still a kung fu fanboy at heart. The kind who acted like a complete child when he was in the presence of someone as famous as the legendary Trancing Rhino. Some thought it to be annoying, some thought it to be endearing, the Rhino himself seemed mildly amused, if the chuckle he was making was of any indication.
"Anyways, be welcome to the Obsidian Palace." Rhino said to him, bowing to the panda, and the panda promptly returned his bow, and then Trancing Rhino introduced the person with him.
"This is Tao, my star student." He said as he gestured to the leopard by his side. He was very muscular, as it was possible to see since he was shirtless. His fur was golden in coloration, with multiple blackish-brown spots all over him. He was wearing a pair of black pants and red shoes. His features were strong and sharp, and he looked intently at the panda with his blue eyes, before he bowed his head respectfully.
"Welcome to our palace, Master Po. It is an honor to know such a skilled and honored warrior, and I look forward to training alongside you."
Po couldn't help but blush a bit, as he bowed back to the leopard, and then Trancing Rhino spoke:
"Well, since you have arrived, would you like to take a look around the Obsidian Palace? You know, to get acclimated with your home for the next three months?"
"Yes, please!" Po said, maybe a bit more eagerly than he should. Rhino, on his end, seemed to appreciate his eagerness, and he was only happy to go look around the Obsidian Palace. He was particularly keen on seeing where the kitchen was, and what kind of foods they would be serving during lunch.
"RESUME!" Rhino yelled, making Po jump. As he yelled that, the whole palace went back into movement. All of the students who had been training returned to their business as if they had never stopped at all. Po looked at them, seeing how they resumed doing what they had been just before.
Wow, it is like those guys are the imperial guard or something... Po thought as he saw how precise those guys were. Does Trancing Rhino really runs _that tight of a ship around here? But he seems so chill..._
"Dragon Warrior!" The rhino said, calling the panda's attention. "Aren't you coming?"
"Oh! Right away!" Po said, before he rushed to catch up with Rhino and with Tao. The three of them walked out of the training area of the Obsidian Palace, leaving the other students to continue their training routine with military precision and discipline.
This place is bigger than the Jade Palace! Was the thought on Po's head as Trancing Rhino and Tao gave him a full tour across the black kung fu temple. From the many training rooms and arenas inside to the meditation rooms, from the restrooms and build-in bathhouses and steam rooms to the kitchens.
The place truly made good to all the stories that went on around this place, which said it was a temple to the art of kung fu that could rival the emperor's palace. What actually made sense, when you took into account that the place was originally ordered to be build by an evil sorcerer who wanted to take over Asia to serve as his main base.
"This place is so awesome!" Po said once they were done seeing practically everything that there was to see, with the only thing left for them to see being the sleeping quarters. Which were numerous.
"I'm glad it is to your liking, Dragon Warrior." Rhino said to the panda, guiding him across the students' barracks, until they stopped at a pair of double sliding doors. "Hope your bedroom is to your taste as well. I had it prepared for you on the day Shifu's message arrived."
As soon as the doors opened, Po was allowed to take a look on his bedroom.
And he was not disappointed.
"Woaaaah! Awesome!" Po blurted out, and he soon was taking a look at his new bedroom. It was big and spacious, and it had a comfortable bed and a huge closet for his clothes. And it had a window that opened to allow him to see the mountain range on the distance, making for quite a nice sight.
"This is one of the best bedrooms on the student area of the dorms." Rhino said as Po ran around his new bedroom, taking in every detail, from the big and comfy bed to the intricate designs in red carved on the black walls, which looked like the roots of an ancient tree. "It is actually the third best bedroom on the Palace. The second best is Tao's, just at the end of this hallway. The best of them all is deeper on the temple, and it is, obviously, my bedroom. I ask you to not go in there unless I specifically invite you."
"I got my own bathtub!" Po said, speaking of the tub that was on the corner of his bedroom. It was a tub that had been sculpted of the same black and red material as the walls and floor of his bedroom. In fact, it seemed that the tub had been sculpted right off the wall. "I can bathe on my own bedroom!"
Rhino looked at him, wondering, for a moment, if the panda had heard him, before he decided to just let go of the issue.
"Anyways, you can enjoy your free day. Training will be starting tomorrow morning, and make no mistake, I may have given you one of the best rooms we have because of your title, but I'll not go any easier on you than on any other of my students."
"Oh, so I got the rest of the day to do as I want? Sweet! Shifu would be making walk on coal by now." Po said, as he was still examining the tub. "Hey, is this tap here to bring water from the outside? Is if part of the Obsidian Palace's internal plumbing system thingy? The one Cao Zhao developed himself? Does it works? Woah, it does! The water comes right out! Man, that guy could be one crazy evil sorcerer, but he was a genius!"
Rhino and Tao both looked at the panda for a few moments, before Rhino wished the Dragon Warrior as good evening.
"And I recommend you tuck in to sleep early." The Rhino said, "Our mornings here start quite early."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be in bed early." Po said to the departing rhino...

"And I recommend you tuck in to sleep early." The Rhino said, "Our mornings here start quite early."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be in bed early." Po said to the departing rhino...
So, with Trancing Rhino's permission, Po was able to enjoy the rest of his day doing whatever he wanted. From taking a short nap to reading his favorite scrolls and, of course, eating whatever he wanted, as he had been given full permission to use the kitchen as he saw fit, and he was able to cook himself the best meals he could at any time of the day.
Man, this was way better than having Shifu all over him, trying to get him to go back to training and slapping his butt with a long stick if he refused to.
If this was how things went there on the Obsidian Palace, then Po knew that he would be able to enjoy his stay in there for the next three months.
That is, except for the fact that everyone in there seemed to be giving him the cold shoulder.
Did Rhino told them all to ignore Po? Was that why they acted like they didn't hear him as he tried talking to him, and act like they didn't, saw him when he asked them for help with something? Was this the pachyderm's way to letting the panda know that his actions were not well-seen around the temple?
Man, even Shifu would not do something so underhanded.
One of them even pushed Po, making the panda land on his butt before him, when the Dragon Warrior tried to get him to help him find a certain room by holding his wrist and pushing him, before going back to doing those routines of training as if nothing had happened.
And no one around even took notice of it, as if they were so focused on training that they could not bring themselves to care about anything else.
Man, what's up with everyone in here?
At this rate, his stay on the Obsidian Palace could maybe not be as smooth as Po had hoped. He would need to talk to Trancing Rhino about how rude people were being to him... wait, Trancing Rhino!
He said he would meet him on his bedroom on sundown! That was nearly an hour ago!
Po then put himself to walk in direction to Rhino's bedroom. He had to ask for directions, taking in how big the place was. Once more, they ignored him, until Po said to them that he needed to meet Rhino for a conversation on his bedroom.
As soon as Po mentioned the name of the grandmaster, they stopped what they were doing and gave the panda all of the attention, giving him precise directions on how to reach Trancing Rhino's quarters before they went back to what they were doing as if nothing had just happened.
The best directions he received came from a muscular ram with blue eyes.
Po thanked him, but he had already gone back to making exercises like the rest of that specific training group, leaving the panda just to go in there, wondering how those guys can be so dedicated to their training... and how many of them seemed to have blue eyes.
Po eventually made his way to the doors of Trancing Rhino's quarters. They were heavily decorated and looked like the doors of the private chambers of the emperor himself. Po could admire it for a while, but he decided that it was better to just go in there and talk to Trancing Rhino at once and get this over with.
"Okay, I'm here." Po said, opening the doors and walking inside of the bedroom. "Look, you want to talk, then let's talk, I understand if you want to scold me or something, I'm used to it. Shifu did it at least once a day lately. But we first have to talk about the attitude of... your..."
Po's voice trailed. The panda froze as he saw the scene developing before him.
Trancing Rhino was sitting on the edge of his bed. He was naked, his clothes hanging from a rack by the side of the bedroom. He was not alone in there, as Tao was on the room as well. The leopard was also naked. He was on all fours, with his bare backside turned to the door, as his head was between Rhino's spread legs.
Bobbing up and down as he produced loud slurping sounds.
"You really should learn to knock on the door, Dragon Warrior." Rhino said, to the panda, looking at him as the panda looked at the scene before him with wide eyes and a dropped jaw. "It is really impolite to go barging into someone else's bedroom like that. You could end up interrupting them in the middle of something important."
The great master spoke with all naturality of the world, as if he didn't had a young man sucking his dick as he spoke to the panda.
"Also, you are one hour late." Rhino added, "We will have to deal with that tardiness of yours as well."
Po continued to look, his brain still trying to grip what he was seeing. And as it did, Po's face heated up with searing-hot mortification and embarrassment.
"W-what..." Po mumbled, looking at the scene before him, while Tao continued to suck on Rhino's cock as if he didn't even notice that the panda had entered the room. "What is... what are you two... what is going..."
As Po still tried to fully grip what was happening right now, something happened.
Trancing Rhino's horn lighted up. The spirals in it started emitting a blue glow and to move across the surface of the horn. Po's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and away from the bobbing head of Tao as he continued to slurp away on that Rhino dick.
Po blinked, as his eyes focused on the moving spirals of the horn and nothing more.
"Dragon Warrior..." Trancing Rhino said, a smirk on his face. "Close the door."
Po stood there for a second, before doing exactly as it was instructed of him.
He turned around and closed the doors behind himself, before turning back to face Trancing Rhino. His face was now devoid of most forms of expression, other than a dumb look on his eyes.
"Get on all fours and come here." Trancing Rhino said and, once more, the panda obeyed the orders of the great master.
That was the legendary power of the Mystic Trancing Horn, Rhino's unique technique, born from him having destroyed the Zhao Sapphire by ramming the tip of his horn into it and having the mystic energy of the gemstone wash over his whole horn and giving it the same power of the magic jewel of controlling the minds of others.
This was an amazing power for one to have, even though it only worked at close range and only for a few minutes at a time...
Except not.
The thing was, the limited range and time were only what Rhino told everyone else. He had to, for a lot of people were nervous at him for having acquired the same type of power that Cao Zhao used to terrorize that entire region and with which he planned to use to take over all of China.
Rhino had to tune down what his Trancing Horn could do, because he knew that a lot of people would be more than a little spooked if they knew the real extension of his new powers.
Which were basically the very same ones of the sapphire.
However, Rhino was not one to try and take over China like Cao Zhao did. He didn't even want to take over a single province. No. Trancing Rhino was a good guy, and he only intended to use the power of his Mystic Trancing Horn to help innocents and fight evil in any form he found it. He even compromised himself to only use his magic horn to fight evil if he had no other choice.
However, as time passed, and Rhino learned more and more about the powers of his magic horn, he ended up seeing some... interesting possibilities for how to use it.
To train some students who had no discipline, for example.
Like that panda who was currently crawling on his hands and knees in direction to him.
"Get behind Tao." Rhino ordered, and Po did it, stopped with his face right in front of Tao's backside. "Tao, raise your tail for Po. Po, start licking Tao's tailhole."
They both obeyed the orders of Master Trancing Rhino. Tao's tail shot up, staying lifted and out of the way, while the panda leaned forward and opened his mouth, sticking his tongue and giving a lick to Tao's taint.
Tao shivered as that wide and wet panda tongue started lapping on his rear, his tail shooting up straight and his fur standing on end, as a weak purring escaped his throat as he continued to diligently suck on the cock of his master, while the panda behind him continued to lick his tailhole, running his tongue over it again and again.
"That's it..." Trancing Rhino said, "Good boys. You two are good, obedient boys." He was murring as he said that, a grumbling of pleasure as he petted Tao's head, what only made the leopard purr louder around his cock and suck even harder, much to Rhino's enjoyment.
"You see Po?" Rhino asked to the panda. "You see how happy Tao becomes when I call him a good, obedient boy? That is because he knows he is doing good. He knows that he is making me satisfied by acting well and by being the best he can. This makes him happy. And, from now on, it will make you happy as well."
He was looking at the panda, who continued to lick on Tao's tailhole.
"From now on, following my instructions will make you happy and satisfied." Trancing Rhino said to the panda. "Making me happy will make you happy. And the best way to make me happy is to follow my instructions to the best of your capacity. Doing so will grant you a pleasure of the kind you never felt before, just like it does to Tao."
Po heard it, and the orders that Trancing Rhino was giving him were making their way to the deepest parts of his brain now that he was in this state of mystic trance, induced by the magic of the grandmaster's horn. Each one firmed itself on his brain, and each one was engraved on his mind with the power that only magic commands could have.
"Now, I have instructions for you, Dragon Warrior." Trancing Rhino said. "From now on, during the course of your stay in the Obsidian Palace, you will behave like any other of my students."
"You will stop slacking." Trancing Rhino said. "You will go to bed and sleep when I tell you to, and you will wake up and present for the morning training with the first gong. You will follow the training schedule to a T, and you will not skip on any training session. You will train for as long as I command you, and you will not complain, and you will not try to get out of training to play with those dolls or anything of the like. Also, you will not break the diet. You will eat the food we offer you. I'll ensure you have big enough portions so you will don't go hungry, but you will follow the same diet as everyone else on the temple."
Trancing Rhino took a break from explaining, as he snorted in pleasure as Tao deep-throated him, taking his dick as far as it could go into his throat and sucking on it hard while he purred loudly around it.
"You will do it all." Rhino said as he sighed. "And you will do it gladly, because doing so will make me happy, and making me happy makes you feel good. Do you understand, panda?"
Po stopped licking Tao's tailhole, looking up at Rhino, as a string of saliva connected his mouth to the leopard's pucker.
"Yes, Master Trancing Rhino." Po said to him. "I'll do exactly as you say."
"That's all I ask of you." Rhino said to him, knowing form past experiences that his orders for the panda would be followed from now on, as he had taken them all to heart and would never even think of disobeying him at all. Not as long as Rhino kept him on this state. Even if he was released, the commands would keep on the back of his head, taking effect long after the hold on his mind had been released.
"Tao, stop and stand up." Rhino said to his student. The leopard stopped what he was doing and stood up. His hard cock was throbbing with each pulse of his heart, leaking pre copiously from the tip, making it glisten on the candle-illuminated bedroom.
"You have done very well on the training this month." Rhino said to his student, placing a hand on his shoulder. "And you were ready to defend me when the Dragon Warrior disrespected me. This made me very proud of you. You have more than earned a reward. Turn around and fuck the Dragon Warrior's muzzle."
As Tao did, the rhino spoke to the panda:
"And you better suck off Tao good, panda. You are his reward, after all."
Po only had time to say a "yes, master" before he had nearly ten inches of pure, thick leopard cock shoved on his mouth and into his throat.
He gagged and choked around the cock, until Rhino instructed him to relax his throat and breathe through his nose, what the panda did, and he was able to power through the throat-plugging and suck on the dick forced into his mouth, even as Tao started pounding away on his face.
He didn't build up and he didn't start off slow. The panda hadn't earned the right to have the luxury of Tao going easy on him. This was a privilege that one only received when Trancing Rhino himself said the person deserved. He didn't in this occasion, so Tao was not going easy on the panda, and pounded away on his face so hard his balls slapped on the panda's chin, and his pubic fur rubbed roughly on the ursine's snout.
Behind him, Trancing Rhino was watching in approval.
"That's it, Tao." He whispered, hugging the leopard from behind. "Breed this bitch's face. That's a good kitty."
Tao growled as those words were said, as he was triggered both by them and by the touch of his adored master. Soon, he was feeling more than hands on his body, once Rhino's cock, slick with Tao's spit, met the leopard's tailhole, slick with Po's.
Tao let out a moan of pleasure as he was penetrated. Pure bliss surged through his body as he felt the oh-so-familiar feeling of being penetrated by his amazing, handsome and beloved master's cock. This was a familiar feeling for Rhino as well, as he commented how he loved that, even with how frequently they fucked, Tao's tailhole remained as tight as that of a virgin.
Soon, he was pounding, and Tao moaned and mewled as he was fucked by his master. It were now Rhino's motions that were causing Tao's own hips to move and fuck the panda's mouth. All the while the panda just obediently remained on all fours, sucking on Tao's cock as it moved in and out of his mouth and the owner of the cock continued to produce sounds of pleasure.
They continued like this for several minutes. However, it did not last as long as it should, since Rhino and Tao had both gotten tired of waiting for the panda and decided to start without him, and they had both been going on for a while before he finally decided to arrive.
Rhino came first, as he cummed on Tao's tailhole, filling him to the brim, as the pachyderm bellowed in pleasure as he reached orgasm.
Tao shuddered. He felt himself being filled, and this triggered his own orgasm. He had been on the brink of orgasming for a long time, but he held back all because he didn't had permission to cum until after Master Trancing Rhino had. Now that he came, Tao was finally allowed to cum, and he did, letting out a roar as he filled the panda's mouth with his seed, which Po had no choice but to swallow.
After a while, both of their orgasms subsided, and they just remained where they were, panting as they recovered from this intense orgasm.
Tao was still panting when he felt Trancing Rhino's hand on his chin. The master was still hugging him from behind with one arm, as his strong hand guided the feline's face, so his lips eventually met his master's, as they locked into a kiss.
Both of their cocks throbbed inside their respective holes, as they had a long, passionate tongue-kiss after sex.
It was the perfect thing to put them both on the mood for round two. For there was never only a single round with Trancing Rhino.
They broke their sloppy kiss, and Rhino licked Tao's face affectionately, before pulling his cock out of his tailhole.
"Turn around, Tao." Rhino said, and the leopard removed his cock from Po's mouth, making the panda gasp, and turned to look at his master.
"Dragon Warrior..." Rhino said, looking over Tao's shoulder, at the panda on all fours behind him. "Lick the cum off Tao's tailhole."
Po did as commanded and started to lick all the cum coming out of Tao's tailhole. Meanwhile, Rhino gently held Tao's cheeks and pulled him into another kiss, as sloppy and ardent as the one they were having seconds ago, and this time he held on the kiss for longer, even rubbing his naked body against Tao's as they made out and moaned on each other's mouths, with Po still licking the cum that came out of the feline's butt.
For a long time, they kept at this, until the cum on Tao's butt eventually ran dry, and Po had nothing left to lap away. That was when they both turned to Po, whose muzzle was matted with the cum that he lapped from Tao's backside, and Rhino then gave him a new order.
"Get out of those shorts."
Po, much like Tao, didn't wasted any time on obeying the orders of the grandmaster. He just grabbed the waistband of his shorts and practically shoved it all the way down to his ankles, before stepping out of them and standing naked before Rhino and Tao, letting them see his naked form.
The panda was hard. He apparently got from the sensual actions they were having until now. However, his dick was... well, let's say that it was not as impressive as Tao's or Rhino's.
"Wow..." Rhino said, as he looked at the surprisingly small member between the panda's legs.
"I always thought those were just rumors, but you pandas are really small down there." He said, walking to Po and reaching out to touch the member. It throbbed upon being touched by the grandmaster, leaking pre and causing the rhino to chuckle.
"It's kind of cute, actually." He added, before moving on from there. After all, it was not as if they were going to make use of the panda's dick anyways. Not now, at least.
With a few commands to Tao, the pachyderm and feline were both working together, grabbing Po by the legs and buttocks and holstering him in the air. They stood on his sides as they lifted him so much that his legs were in the air, causing the panda to expose his bare tailhole for the two of them.
Both of their cocks were still glistening with a mixture of saliva and cum, what would make for a nice lube for the next part. Still, they went it a bit easier on the panda.
Rhino penetrated him first, as his member was the bigger, and he went as far as possible inside of the panda, causing him to moan and shiver as his cock throbbed and leaked even more pre.
Then it was Tao's turn, and the feline also forced his dick inside, causing Po to shiver and moan even more as he was now spread by not only one, but two huge dicks. This was all the panda could take, and he let out a loud squeal as his cock throbbed and shot ropes of cum that landed on the ground.
"Coming already?" Rhino asked him. "Man, you are cute, Dragon Warrior."
He said, and then commanded Tao to start with the fun. With this, they both started pounding on the panda.
Well, they were not as much "pounding", as they were moving the panda up and down their two cocks as if he was a big, fat, black and white fleshlight. The panda bounced on their cocks as they held him by the legs and butt-cheeks as they made liberal use of the panda, sending him all the way down their members before pulling him back up and then lowering him down again.
Po could do nothing more than moan as he was used as a toy by the grandmaster and his star student. He was still deep under the spell of Trancing Rhino's horn, and he could not bring himself to think or feel anything other than what Rhino told him to. And he was feeling pleasure, as he was being used by his master. His inhibitions all but forgotten as he delivered himself whole-heartedly to what was happening to him and was able to enjoy it with practically no pain.
In fact, Po was enjoying it so much that his cock quickly got hard again and, after only seven minutes of bouncing on their cocks, orgasmed again, as more cum leaked from his dick and landed on the white puddle on the ground beneath him.
The two barely paid it any mind, as they continued to fuck the panda, tightening their grip on him as they went even rougher on him after they felt the Dragon Warrior's ass clamping down on their members because of his own orgasm.
Po was practically squealing now, as they continued to pound together on his prostate even after he orgasmed two times. Signals of pleasure shot up and down his spine, crossing over into pain and then back into pleasure. The panda threw his head back as he wailed from the mixing sensations, his eyes rolling to the back of his head as his legs kicked and spasmed. His small dick once more getting hard between his legs, although this time it took considerably longer than on the last time. His whole body was trembling as he was ravaged by those two well-endowed males, as he was basically a blur as he was made to bounce so fast and hard on their cocks, which were practically nearly ripping his tailhole apart.
Po's back arched as he reached yet another orgasm, his balls contracting and his cock spasming as this time only a few droplets of cum leaked out from the tip. His balls were all but empty at this stage, and the next orgasm that Po would have would, most likely, be a dry one. Meanwhile, the two males using him reached the peak as well, as they both bellowed and roared as they buried their members as deep as they could go into the panda's tailhole as they spasmed and released their load. They both emptied their balls inside of Po's bowels, painting his insides white, as the leftover cum leaked from the tailhole and down on their balls, before dripping on the ground beneath the panda's ass.
After this, Rhino sighed, as all three of them panted from such an intense session.
"I gotta give to you, Po." Rhino said, speaking to he panda. "You have possibly one of the best asses I've fucked in years. Not as good as Tao, but it certainly comes close."
Po was panting with his tongue out of his mouth, looking completely winded.
"But we will have to work that stamina of yours." Rhino said, "I mean, seriously? Cumming three times on the time it took us to cum only once? Not exactly a stellar performance."
Po turned his head to look at Trancing Rhino, mumbling some tired, breathless words that sounded like an apology. Rhino smirked at him.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time to improve you." Rhino said to him. "Starting tonight. After all, night is still young."
With this, he leaned forward to kiss the panda on the lips. Po could only moan tiredly as he was kissed on the lips by his new master, his cock once more surging to life between his legs, even though his balls were completely empty at this point...
Two months and two weeks later...
Shifu's arrival on the Obsidian Palace was a surprise. However, it was a welcomed surprise, as him and Trancing Rhino went way back, and they were probably the best of friends in China, if the way the two greeted each other with a warm hug was any indication.
Shifu had come to check on Po's progress, once the panda had been there for weeks, and he wanted to confirm if the panda had actually made any progress or if he slacked off like he did back on the Jade Palace.
"Well, he tried slacking off at first." Rhino confessed, "But, I did put the fella on his place. You know I'm good at keeping my students in check."
Yes, Shifu knew well. He only needed to look around to see every student on the main training areas, performing their training routines with a diligence that honestly made Shifu a little envious. Trancing Rhino was certainly the best when it came to make sure his students were training properly and being disciplined.
That was why he trusted he would be able to finally make Po take his training more seriously.
"Your panda is doing pretty well, to be honest." Trancing Rhino said, "At this rate, he will ascend very soon... by the way, Shifu..." Rhino looked at the smaller master. "How come you never told him that a Dragon Warrior can eventually ascend to Dragon Master after training enough?"
Yes, it was true. This was a part of the Dragon Warrior legend that, while not being necessarily a secret, was also not common knowledge. Dragon Warrior was some kind of "first stage", one that was given to the person chosen by Oogway. However, upon enough training and achievements, and upon reaching one's true ultimate potential, they would eventually leave this title behind, and acquired the even greater title of Dragon Master.
The title of the supreme fighter who had the power and soul of a dragon on their mortal body.
This would be the ultimate goal of Po... if he knew about it.
Shifu confessed to him that the subject simply never came up with Po, as he preferred to let the panda train due to his own desire of becoming stronger, and because he didn't want to let Po get corrupted with ambition, like Tai Lung before him.
Also, after the Celestia Phoenix and magic shoes incident, he thought it was better not to let Po be tempted into trying to give a step bigger than his legs.
"Have you... told him?" Shifu asked, to what Rhino shrugged.
"I thought he would be more motivated to train harder if he knew." He said simply, "It seems to be working so far. He is training very diligently. By the way, want to see his progress? He is on one of the training rooms with Tao right now."
Shifu certainly wanted to see how his student had been progressing. Rhino guided Shifu all the way to the room where the Dragon Warrior and Rhino's best student were training together.
There they were, repeating the same routine of movements and poses with perfect synch. So perfect, in fact, that it was somewhat unsettling. They both stopped and stood into attention as soon as Rhino said a command to the two, as they waited for his next command.
Shifu, on his end, could only look at them both in surprise...
"Are they... naked?" Shifu asked, taking in how neither of them was wearing pants, or even underwear.
"Yes, I thought clothing would get on their way." Rhino said to him. "Besides, did you notice how hot it is today? I thought they would be more comfortable. I mean, they are both adults, right?"
Shifu didn't knew how to answer to that. As they came closer, the master had yet another surprise.
"Are those chastity cages?" Shifu said, as he took noticed of the metal contraptions that both the panda and the leopard had on their private parts.
"To keep them from getting distracted." Rhino explained with all naturality of the world. "All of my students use them under their clothes. Had to have Po's one custom forged, since they usually don't make them this small for a guy his size."
Shifu thought it made sense... in a strange way. Soon, however, he was having a word with Po, asking how his time with Rhino had been. The panda, with a smile on his face, didn't wasted time in answering to the small master, saying that he had a great time with Trancing Rhino, and that he was thankful for him to help him become better and, one day, become the Dragon Master he was destined to be.
He even thanked Shifu for the awesome chance of knowing Trancing Rhino and being trained by him.
Well, it seemed Po was enjoying his time there more than Shifu ever imagined. He sent Po there to be put in shape by Rhino's stern training methods, but he didn't expect the panda to actually come to enjoy being trained so rigorously, as he clearly seemed to by the smile on his face and the look on his blue eyes... wait a minute...
Blue!?
But Po's eyes had always been green!!!
"Po, your eyes!" Shifu said in surprise, as he took in the change on the coloration of the panda's iris. "What-"
Po didn't had time to ask anything, as he was spun around, and forced to look at Trancing Rhino right as the spirals on his horn started to glow and spin.
"Shifu..." He said, making sure the eyes of the red panda were on his face. On his horn. "You came here to check on Po's progress, and you are happy with what you saw so far."
"I-I..." Shifu said, his eyes changing from their regular color to the same blue as Po, Tao, and everyone else on the Obsidian Palace other than Trancing Rhino himself.
"I am... happy with what I saw..."
"You are happy with Po's progress..."
"I... am happy with Po's progress..." Shifu repeated, his voice becoming distant as he echoed what Trancing Rhino was saying.
"Yes..." Trancing Rhino said, "In fact, you are so happy with how I'm training him that, instead of just three months, you will leave the panda under my care for a whole year, so I can truly make him the Dragon Master he is meant to be. Do you understand?"
Shifu was looking at him, and he said:
"Yes... Po will stay here with you... for a year. Please, continue training him. Help him become the Dragon Master he is meant to be."
Trancing Rhino smirked.
"I will, you can be sure of that." Rhino said, "Now, since you are here, why don't we have a private meeting on my bedchambers? We haven't had one since the last time we saw each other, after all."
Shifu looked at him, and he smiled.
"Yes... a private meeting... sounds good... I do love our private meetings..."
"I know you do." Trancing Rhino said, "So, let's go to my chambers, yes? You know the way."
"Yes, master..." Shifu said, and walked in direction to the door, taking the familiar route to the bedroom of Trancing Rhino. Meanwhile, Rhino, before going right after Shifu, said to both Tao and Po:
"You two are doing very well, continue your training for two more hours and then come to my chambers to join me and Shifu."
The panda and leopard both answered with "yes, master!" and immediately went back to practicing.
Trancing Rhino smirked to himself, before turning around and walking to his chambers alongside his favorite pinch-sized plaything in China...
