Here's how Lazarus and Kenji adapt to the camp.

Chapter 6: Adjusting to the Camp

Throughout the rest of the week, both Lazarus and Kenji got used to some kung-fu training with some of the most well-known and respected kung-fu masters in China, although Lazarus found it really hard to gain a lot of trust from these people because they treated him like any other person and he's a little unsure whether to let anyone know or find out about his prostetic arm and how they might react to it.

But he has gained some deep respect for Musaki when it came to his one-on-one training with him. From the first day of working with him in the training hall, there was a small percentage of a confidence boost where if he does a flip while holding onto his arm, it proves that he can do anything with one arm. Although he kept that to himself, it certainly impressed Musaki a lot more.

Around most of the Furious Five, Lazarus has been silent, but able to do some kung-fu moves from what they gave him. He did some flips, kicks, twists, turns and other styles of kung-fu and wanted to make his own all while one armed. Despite not knowing about his prostectic arm, each and every single session with one of them surprised and shocked them deeply and assumed that this kid practiced every day.

Kenji, on the other hand...his wisecracking antics and rambling mouth always seems to strike a nerve on most of the Five, including Crane. Whenever he has one-on-one sessions with Kenji, it always ends with weirdness coming out of this grey Husky, which sorta irritates him. But sometimes Kenji does tend to get most of the skills right, which surprises Crane a lot and shocks him.

Once he kept his balance on the Jade Tortoise, Kenji could see it as the best day of his life and releases an excited howl so loud, it could be heard all the way from Thailand and also wags his tail really fast when he's excited or happy about something, almost like a puppy.

And when it came to sparring with Crane, he was definitely pumped up and prepared too because he got his sandals on, hiding his prostetic feet and when both of them sparred and took each other down, Kenji's strength has increased despite having a knack on getting on Crane's nerves. After all that was said and done, Kenji lets out a smile and a slight chuckle while saying, "I'm rad."

"Yes...you are." Crane added.

Crane looks up at Kenji and he was surprised that he's gotten a lot better since that training session and said, "I think you're keeping score."

"That's cool. At least it's a lot better than the one time I tried to do a backflip for the first time and I bruised my crotch. Yeah, that was really crazy." Kenji said.

Crane had no idea to respond to that and then, Kenji asked, "So...that's it? We're done for the day?"

"Uh...for now, at least."

"Awesome! Because I'm so hungry right now, I could eat a cow!" Kenji exclaimed.

Kenji eventually left the training hall and Crane stood there, looking very mystifyed that he was chosen to this training session with Kenji and he said, "Unbelieveable..."

Then, when Lazarus and Kenji paired themselves up with Monkey, more training has gone up the roof, especially when Lazarus swallowed his fear and did some sparring with him and it made the young red Husky's confidence level rise up as he dodged Monkey's aim and Kenji completely did a handstand to miss Monkey when he sparred with him and the golden langur seemed very impressed with how well they're doing.

Monkey lets out his fists and Lazarus was ready to take it to the next level as he grabbed ahold of his arm and as Monkey charged at him, Lazarus leaped up to the air and over Monkey and he quickly held onto his arm when he reached the ground on his feet, leaving Monkey really stunned and amazed that he would actually do that. He looked at both of them for a second and he chuckled to himself and said, "Where have you been hiding yourselves?"

"In a little village somehere in the Valley of Peace. Kenji was originally from Japan, but we both grew up in here in the Valley." Lazarus answered.

"Sometimes sashimi gives me gas back there." Kenji said.

Monkey started laughing at that joke and Kenji started laughing as well and he said, "I like this kid. He cracks me up every time."

Lazarus cracks a little smile and he said, "Yeah, he's a joker."

Then, Viper, Mantis and Tigress had some training sessions with Lazarus and the rest of the kids, showing them random styles they had and once shown to them, most of them completely got it down pat while others struggle a little bit. Lazarus is somewhere in the middle, but will try to attempt to do it well and to Viper's shock, he did a backflip-somersault with a mixture of Viper style and Tiger style while holding onto his arm, in hopes of not letting the glove fly out of his hand.

And suddenly, Viper slithered up to him, with her mouth dropped open and eyes widened up like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Lazarus chuckled nervously as if he might've messed up a few times and asked, "Was that too much?"

Viper was still speechless and stunned as she stared at him for a while and then Tigress came up to her, checking to see if she's okay and then...she fainted. Lazarus lets out a small gulp and backs away from the situation before it grows more awkward. Tigress glared at Lazarus and she asked, "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing. She just saw my moves and became a little...frozen." Lazarus replied.

Mantis hopped on Tigress' shoulder and he said to Lazarus, "Dude, you've completely outdone both Viper style and Tigress style and combined them with superawesome moves!"

Tigress quickly went from jumping to conclusions to a very stunned and frozen look on her face as if Lazarus really did outdo her style with his own original mixture and she also fainted in the process and then Mantis hopped onto Lazarus' shoulder and said, "Congratulations, kid. You made two kung-fu girls faint."

"I'm sorry." Lazarus said, nervously.

"Don't be. I was looking forward to see them faint if someone outdid their original stuff. And on a personal note, I called it. Now I can laugh at them and poke fun at this." Mantis said, chuckling.

Lazarus groaned at that and he said, "I don't think that would be necessary."

"Why not?"

Lazarus then pointed at them to remind him they regained consciousness, which made Mantis a little bit nervous thinking they might've overheard everything he said and Viper was the first one to swipe her tail and landed it on Mantis' head.

"Ow!"

"You wanna take this, Tigress?" asked Viper.

Tigress clears her throat and said, "Let's wait until the kids are gone."

When Kenji began training with the Dragon Warrior, the grey Husky couldn't contain himself the excitement that he's actually training with someone he looks up to. Po could tell that Kenji is an energetic fanboy and sees parts of himself in him. Kenji chuckled excitedly and said, "Can I honestly say I freakin' look up to you? You are like my idol!"

That totally made Po's day to hear that Kenji sees him as an idol and he lets out an excited giggle and said, "I'm your idol? Whoa, this is awesome!"

"I'm looking forward to see what ya got."

Po nods his head as he got into his stance and showed Kenji a couple of moves he made and when it was Kenji's turn, he emulated some of Po's moves and made it his own version, which surprised Po in a split second. He chuckled softly and said, "That was epic!"

"Thanks."

Po then shows Kenji a little bit of Panda style and as he demonstrated it to Kenji, he was able to try it, but each time, he barely could keep his balance steady. Po immediately understood how many times he falls down when he tries to master something because he's been there before and like the big-hearted panda he is, he assists him in any given way possible to show him how.

It became pretty clear to Kenji that not only he's training with Po, but helps him whenever he messes up and encourages him to keep going no matter what. With that, Kenji keeps going and got everything down pat and all throughout the day, Po and Kenji have been doing some training process and the more Kenji learns from Po, the more confidence he's gain and he sees the Dragon Warrior as someone he can trust.

"All right, Kenji! That was awesome!" Po cheered.

Kenji smiled at him and he said, "Thanks. Learning from you has helped a lot."

That made Po smile just knowing that and he said, "Happy to help, Kenny."

Kenji chuckled softly at what Po just called him and asked, "Kenny?"

"Thought you could use a nickname, like Ken, Kenny, KJ, KJI..."

"I'm cool with whatever, man."

Meanwhile, in the beginning of the second week of the kung-fu summer camp, Lazarus spent most of his time working with Musaki in continuing gaining a lot of strength and learning a lot more from him. All of a sudden, Musaki decided to throw in some original moves that he can show to Lazarus to make it more fun; a mixture of breakdance and kung-fu. He shows him a few tricks and that was something Lazarus was definitely nervous about doing and Musaki could tell that he's never done it before and he said, "Let's take this one step at a time."

Musaki shows him a move that he incorporates kung-fu and dance and does the spin cycle move and spins around with his head and holds his hands to the ground while doing a handstand. Lazarus could see that this is a bigger challenge than he thought and Musaki said, "You try."

Lazarus was very reluctant to do, but he just wanted to get this over with and he started doing his kung-fu stance and more moves and stood on his hands, trying to do what Musaki did and emulate it, without having his prostectic arm revealed.

Suddenly, he quickly got it down pat, which impressed Musaki the most and he was definitely proud of how he made progress of that on his first try and Musaki came to him and said, "Dude, that was awesome!"

Lazarus lets out a chuckle and he said, "Thanks. It's my first time actually doing this."

"If you can do this, you can do anything."

Those words pretty much stuck to Lazarus' head and it could be used as his personal mantra when it comes to his one arm and hopes that he'll remember that and not let anything hold him back. He looked at him and said, "Anything?"

"Yeah, anything."

Later that day, Lazarus walks towards the barracks to find a bathroom to use and when he finally found one, he entered inside and then he looks at himself in a mirror and then he slowly removes his glove and looks at his prostectic arm and he lets out a deep sigh as he wonders what would happen if someone found out. He then removes his prostectic limb and reveals his one arm.

"These people here...they're so kind and really great to be around. How do I let them know that I have one arm?" asked Lazarus.

Suddenly, when he heard someone coming in, he turns around and sees Musaki coming in and to his shock, he sees Lazarus' one arm for the first time and Musaki's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw it for the first time and he did not know what to make of it.

"Lazarus...?"

The truth comes out? How will Musaki react to this? Find out on the next chapter!
