Lazarus and Kenji's amazing moves surprise all the masters!

Chapter 14: Astonished Masters

In the middle of the week, Lazarus and Kenji have been working extremely hard on their training skills and using their moves they never thought they would do before and it definitely boosted up both boys' confidence, mainly Lazarus'. The one-armed Husky felt astonished that he could do things that he originially thought was impossible because of his one-arm, but has since faded away because of some encouragement from Musaki and acceptance from the masters.

Kenji's amazement with his new skills brought him more excitement, but acts like a big pup about it each time he sticks the landing because he gets easily excited about it.

Each time when either Lazarus or Kenji spend time with one of the kung-fu masters of the Jade Palace, most of them were blown away by both boys' moves despite their prostetic limbs and made them see that being amputees isn't stopping them from anything, which really inspired them.

Shifu kept a close eye on both boys and whenever he sees them show some new moves in front of him, that made him realize that these boys are invincible and that all things are possible.

In one of those days, all of the masters came together along with the students just to see how Lazarus and Kenji did all of their moves that Musaki taught them, in which made Lazarus a little nervous but made Kenji stoked up.

Kenji looks up at Lazarus and he asked, "You okay, Laz?"

Lazarus takes a deep breath and he turns to Kenji and replied, "I hope I know what I'm doing. I don't wanna mess up in front of everyone."

"Aw, come on Lazzie. With all the moves Musaki taught us, what's there to stop us?" asked Kenji.

Just then, Musaki comes in from behind them and he asked both of them, "Are you guys ready?"

Kenji nods his head quickly and Lazarus slowly nodded his very nervously and Musaki could sense that the young red Husky has a little bit of anxiety in him and he puts his paw on Lazarus' shoulder and said, "Hey, you'll do great. Remember what I taught you...don't think about anything else and believe in yourself."

Lazarus has learned a lot from Musaki for so long and that he was able to show that he has a lot of skills hidden beneath him and as he took another look in the crowd, he began thinking about all the times he spent with Musaki, just training and feeling like he's invincible and that nothing like a prostetic arm would stop him and he turned to Musaki and said, "I gotta do this, don't I?"

"Yeah. And no matter what happens, you're still the best student I ever taught in this camp." Musaki said.

Lazarus cracked a smile and that enough is to gain a huge amount of confidence to go out and do this and he said, "Thanks. Wish me luck."

"Good luck, Laz." Musaki said, giving him a thumbs-up.

As Lazarus got in front of the crowd, he looks up and sees everyone around him, including Po, Shifu and the Furious Five coming in to see what he's got. Lazarus took a deep breath and as he warmed himself up, he began showing his skills by starting off with a basic stance, side kick, multiple amounts of kicks, flips, turns, random amounts of moves he used, including a backflip and a handstand; all of which made the entire crowd go crazy and it made the masters look at the Husky in awe.

And when he did a backflip mixed in with Tiger and Viper style, everyone else became super hyped up because they've neevr seen anyone do that kind of mixture and come out on it's own. And then he did some breakdance/kung-fu style; mixing in the windmill, the turtle and other stances of kung-fu to use and spinning around his head and everyone was cheering and applauding for Lazarus and when he was done, he ended it with a simple bow, showing his prostetic arm.

All of them cheered for Lazarus and the masters were applauding and cheering for him and as Lazarus took a look at the crowd, he feels definitely proud of himself for overcoming his fear and took a huge chance.

"Way to go, Lazarus!" Monkey whooped.

"That was awesome, Laz-boy!" Po exclaimed.

"Well done!" Shifu added.

"You've got a lot of spunk, kid." Tigress said, happily.

Lazarus then walked back to the inside of the training hall, where he was greeted by a dogpile from Kenji and he said, "You were awesome, Lazi! You definitely brought the freakin' palace down!"

Lazarus chuckled softly and he got himself up and said, "Thanks, Kenj."

Lazarus took a look at Musaki and he could tell that he was smiling and Musaki told him, "I knew you would do it. And you've proved it to me."

"Yeah, thanks to you."

Kenji was warming himself up and stretched his toes and fingers and his entire body out until he lets out a simple fart out of nowhere. Kenji froze for a second and heard the little toot noise and he said, "I hope no one smelled that."

He then comes out of there and faces the crowd and with that, he does a couple of moves he made; the splits, twists, twirls, kicks and every kung-fu trick out of the book and combines elements of dance and kung-fu into his form and as he jumped up in the air, he lands on his prostetic feet and did a handstand as well.

Most of the masters were completely blown away by Kenji's amazing moves and Crane was even surprised that he did it so well and achieved it perfectly.

After a few more stances and twirl kicks, he ends it with him standing on his head with his prostetic legs sticking out and everyone cheered for Kenji, even Crane dropped his jaw in shock to see him pass through with flying colors.

'This kid has got more confidence than I have.' Crane thought to himself.

After this, Kenji lets out a very happy howl as he headed back to the inside of the training hall and he guffawed for a sec and asked, "How awesome was I?"

"You were great, Kenji." Lazarus said, happily.

Both boys fist-bumped each other and Kenji said, "Did you see the part where I did a headstand on my actual head?"

"I saw it. I couldn't believe you could do that." Lazarus added.

Kenji's excitement definitely increased so much that he started wagging his tail a lot faster and Musaki noticed it and said, "Dude, your tail."

Kenji looks from behind and sees his tail wagging very quickly and he said, "Oh, that? Yeah, that's how it is when I get super excited."

Musaki chuckled at that and said, "Imagine that."

"You'd be surprised on how excited I get everytime my tail wags." Kenji added.

"Fascinating..." Lazarus added.

Musaki clears his throat at that and he said, "Well...aside from that, I am immensely proud of both of you guys and I think you blew the masters away. That shows that you two can do anything and that you won't let your limbs stop you."

Both huskies bowed to Musaki and Musaki graciously bows back to them, smiling at them.

How awesome was that? There's more coming your way!
