And here's where the three orphans get to meet the other kung-fu warriors!

Chapter 12: Meeting the Other Warriors

Sometime later, Bakari, Isaiah, Duke, Max and Arizona were heading towards the barracks to see if they have a little snack in the kitchen and as they got there, they saw the Five and the Dragon Warrior already there and Arizona looks up and asked, "Am I interrupting something?"

"Nope. We were just hanging out and deciding what to wear for the Christmas Ball." Mantis replied.

"Oh...have you figured out what you're gonna wear yet?" asked Arizona.

Mantis looks over at the wardrobe choices on what suits him and he replied, "No idea. But you know, clothes are so overrated."

Viper turns around and sees the three orphans beside Arizona and she couldn't help but notice their adorable faces and she said, "Hello there."

"Hi." Isaiah replied.

"My name's Viper. What's yours?" asked Viper.

"I'm Isaiah Xiu. And these are my friends Duke and Bakari." Isaiah replied.

Viper waved her tail to them and they also waved back at her and the others couldn't help but to see them for the first time and Crane looks at them and said, "Hello. How are you guys?"

"Pretty good. We're spending Christmas at Max's house." Bakari replied.

"You are?" asked Tigress.

Bakari nodded his head and he said, "We're gonna have the bestest Christmas ever!"

Po chuckled at this and he said to them, "Well, nice to meet you all. I'm Po, the Dragon Warrior."

Bakari, Duke and Isaiah were really surprised to see the Dragon Warrior in person and they said, "Whoa..."

"Yeah, I know. I get that a lot." Po added.

Arizona smiled at Po in reponse and he said, "And then some."

"They came from the orphanage and my dad said they can stay over for the holidays." Max replied.

Mantis hopped over to Max's shoulder and he said, "That's great, Maxie. Why though?"

Arizona figured that Mantis was gonna know about the secret behind their stay at Mako's place and that it would be a complete spoiler to Max's Christmas surprise and he said, "Mantis...shouldn't you focus on what outfit you're gonna wear for the Ball?"

Duke then asked the others, "What do you guys normally do around here?"

"We mostly train, exercise, eat, train some more, do chores, train, eat, sleep and do it all again the next day." Monkey replied.

"That's it?" asked Duke.

"And we save China too." Tigress added.

Viper then chimed in and said to them, "But it's not all we do. As of this week, we're celebrating Christmas, so we're taking a week off from training."

"And I say thank goodness. We've been training nonstop for a year." Musaki added.

Tigress mocked sarcastically about Musaki's comment and she said, "I don't see why you're against this."

"Yeah, I'm not. We just need a little break every once in a while for at least one year." Musaki added.

Max, Duke, Isaiah and Bakari were about to wander around parts of the palace and Musaki decided to catch up with them and as soon as they were gone, Arizona then told them, "Wanna know the real reason about these three orphans?"

"What about?" asked Monkey.

"Don't tell anyone...including Max, but they're his Christmas presents. Max said he wanted a little brother for Christmas and with them around, that wish could come true for him." Arizona answered.

The Five and Po were completely surprised to hear that Max is gonna be a big brother for the first time...even Tigress was shocked. She didn't think that Max could take that kind of responsibility and she asked, "You sure Max is up for this?"

"He's eight. I think it's time for him to learn a little bit of responsibility." Arizona added.

"He's turning into a big kid now." Viper said.

Arizona nodded and he said, "Remember, don't tell Max about it. It needs to be a surprise."

The others glared at Po because they know that he could barely keep a secret for even a minute and Po asked, "What, you guys don't trust me to keep a secret?"

"Po, you blab about almost everything." Mantis replied.

Po gasped in offense and said, "I do not blab!"

Arizona rolled his eyes in disagreement at that and he said, "Yeah, you did. You blabbed to me and Musaki about the one time that you snuck into Monkey's room and mooned his face."

Monkey turns to Po for a second and he said, "I thought that was you."

"Oops."

Was that awesome or what? Stick around for more!
