Remember Nate, the troubling-making, big mouth teen lion? You'll see what happens in this chapter!

Chapter 13: New Addition

As soon as they all got to the courtyard, they saw a few kids being chased by Nate and Tigress became completely disturbed by the sight of it and she got in front of the kid to block Nate's way and the teenage lion didn't take it very well. He lets out a low growl and said, "Move out of my way."

"That's enough, Nate." Tigress said, growling.

Musaki had no idea what was up with this Nate person and he lets out a groan and asked, "What's this lion's problem?"

Shifu then recognized him by his growl and by his attitude and he sensed that he worked with this young lion before with a temper like 25 times more bigger than Tigress' and he walked in front of the teen lion with a certain stern look on his face and he said, "I see you haven't changed much...Nathaniel."

Nate growled at Shifu for a second and then he recognized his face and that made him more heated that he actually knew him and he said, "Shifu..."

Tigress was completely unaware that Shifu used to work with Nate before and she asked, "You know him, master?"

"Yes, I have. When he was just 10 years old, I would always train him during the summer months because he has a huge temper, even huger than yours. But it ends up with more disrespect and intimidation towards others. I can still recall the day when you tried to slash my face after you were late one morning." Shifu added.

Nate gritted his teeth at the old master and he said, "It wasn't my fault I overslept. Besides, I was only 11. Let it go, old man!"

"Watch who you're talking to my master...and my father!" Tigress shot back.

Everyone paused for a second after she spat out 'father' in front of everyone and even Kenji looked shocked to hear that Tigress is Shifu's daughter and he asked, "Wait...you mean to tell me that Shifu raised you?"

Tigress turned to Kenji and replied, "He adopted me."

Kenji winced at that concept and he might've had some imagination that really wasn't supposed to be there and he asked, "I guess asking you to be my mate is out of the question, huh?"

Shifu quickly turned to Kenji in a mixture of shock and bewilderment and asked, "What made you think that way?"

"Because she's...smokin' hot?" Kenji asked, with a little giggle.

Lazarus leaned over to Kenji's ear and whispered, "I don't think they bought it."

Nate was pretty much taken aback by the fact that Shifu raised Tigress and he said, "That's messed up. My father told me to never associate with a tiger because they'll always come to consume other animals' flesh and bones when you're most vulnerable. And the fact that you took her in...shouldn't you have left her with a bunch of savage wolves?"

"I draw the line at savage." Arizona added.

Nate looks up at Arizona and he asked, "Was anyone talking to you, doofus?"

Shifu clears his throat and he said, "This is why I gave up working with you because of your mouth."

"Well maybe I'm sick of your crusty, old mouth. And I would be ashamed to have a tiger as my daughter because I'd disown her in a heartbeat." Nate said, coldly.

"Watch who you're talking to, Nathaniel!" Shifu shouted.

"Nate! It's Nate! Do not call me Nathaniel or Nathan! Everyone calls me Nate!" Nate shouted.

"ENOUGH ALREADY!" Musaki shouted.

They both froze for a second after Musaki made an outburst and he said, "The arguing is scaring the kids."

Shifu looks around and sees a few terrified kids around them and he figured that Musaki was right and that they shouldn't have been watching this and he looked at Musaki and he said, "Good point. I'm gonna put Nate in your line of students after how she disrespected Tigress."

Musaki was really reluctant to let Nate in, but he figured that he'll at least give it a shot and he said, "All right. But I'm gonna need Arizona and his line of students help me out here."

Nate scoffs at this and as he joins in, he begins thinking of ways to break Musaki after failing to break Tigress and Shifu told Musaki, "I would keep an eye on Nate if I were you."

Musaki then pulls out his sai and he said, "Don't worry. If he plans to start up with me...the only thing he can get is a sai stuck on his tail."

"Whoa...are you really gonna do that?" asked one fox.

"No." Musaki whispered.

Later on, Musaki and Arizona's students combined with each other as they began some training and Lazarus was a little bit nervous about having Nate on board and Kenji was somewhat calm about this because he can sense Lazarus' nerves pretty quickly. As they began doing some stances and basic moves, Nate kicks a bunny in the tail.

"Ow, that hurt!" the bunny cried out.

Nate mocks the bunny and suddenly, Musaki saw this and he said, "Nate...are you trying to cause trouble?"

"Why don't you mind your own business?" asked Nate.

Musaki lets out a little low growl after that type of disrespect coming out and he said, "Dude, I have no problem sending you back to Tigress...or telling on Master Shifu. Either way, I can do it."

Arizona growls at Nate, hoping that he'll break himself and eventually, Nate forgives the little bunny but still keeps his bully smirk on everyone else's face and even though he's a new member, he starts to get a little annoyed by Musaki's constant correcting, assuming that he's telling him he sucks.

As Musaki teaches Kenji and Lazarus a couple of moves with the other kids, Arizona gets to deal with his own along with Nate, which proves to be a challenge but he can tackle a huge challenge as he keeps an eye on the rebel lion.

Each time Nate tries to test Arizona's patience, all Arizona could do is not let that get in the way of training and he wouldn't let him get alienated.

Nate was a little frustrated that he wouldn't get his way while Arizona stayed really consistent with his training and how he handles kids.

Musaki shows Lazarus and Kenji how to do a backflip together and Lazarus figured that this might happen because at least now he can do it while he shows his prostetic arm in front of everyone and when he did it, eveyrone cheered for him and it made Lazarus really confident and he was that proud of himself.

Kenji decided to have a turn and he stuck the landing and everyone cheered for him more, making Kenji more amazed and excited in a big way.

"Laz, did you see me do that? I was like..." Kenji said, re-enacting the backflip.

"Yeah, I saw it. That was pretty cool." Lazarus said, happily.

Musaki chuckled softly and he told them, "You guys can do anything with your limbs. All you have to do is believe in yourselves and everything will be possible."

Hours went by and Arizona is still training with the kids and shows them his moves; the turns, kick, flip and corkscrew move and as he sees the kids trying it well, he seemed pretty impressed with how they got it. Nate did it his way and he seemed to almost stick the landing and Arizona stopped him for a second and he said, "Pretty good, but you gotta be relaxed when doing the form."

"What's wrong with how I'm doing?" asked Nate.

"You're too...fierce and quick." Arizona replied.

Nate groans loudly and he said, "Dude, come on. It wasn't really that bad."

Arizona kept his cool throughout all the stupid questions Nate asked and he said, "Just focus on your form."

Nate eventually got it down, but Arizona knew that being in this position wasn't gonna be easy, but he knows that he'll get through it.

Musaki continued to work with Lazarus and Kenji and both Huskies showed the other kids their prostetic limbs and showed that they can do anything with those limbs, which put the kids in an awestruck position and one kid said, "You're brave."

Lazarus chuckled softly and said, "I wouldn't say brave. I'm just...hoping to show the kung-fu world that me and Kenji can do anything while being amputees."

Musaki was definitely happy for the two and even after the secret's out, both Huskies can take comfort in knowing that the masters finally accepted the fact that being amputees made them stronger and they can do no wrong.

What did you guys make of this? More on the way!
