We pick up where we left off. Musaki and Arizona begin teaching for the fourth and final week.


Chapter 17: Starting Up the Final Week

Just then, Nate lets out a big groan as he opened his eyes and when he saw that Kenji was near him, he jumps back and falls down on his face to the ground, making most of the kids start laughing at him and as he got up, he began growling at all of them to shut them up and then, the teen lion turns to Kenji and he roared at his face, which made the grey Husky a little bit unsure about this.

"Wow...someone woke up on the wrong side of the pridelands." Kenji said.

"Shut up! I almost died after smelling your stanky ass!" Nate screamed out.

Musaki went over to end this immediately and while most of the kids were covering their ears, he got into Nate's face and said, "We don't allow cursing in this session here. We have kids here, ya know."

"Why don't ya stuff your face with bamboo, panda?" Nate growls.

Musaki didn't seem to be that too mad about it despite Nate giving him a disrespectful remark and he calmly took a deep breath and he said, "Don't worry. I'm not gonna go off on ya."

Nate looked confused by that and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Just then, Tigress, Shifu and the rest of the Five surrounded him out of nowhere, somehow making Nate really nervous and Nate tries to put on his brave face and he said, "I-I-I'm not s-s-scared of you!"

Shifu saw him trembling and shaking and he knew how well Nate could be a liar and then he lets out a slight chuckle and said, "Then why are you shaking your hind legs?"

Nate suddenly looks behind and sees his butt and hind legs are shaking uncontrollably and when he turns to the others, his teeth began chattering as well and being surrounded by the kung-fu masters made him show absoulte fear. Musaki went over to Nate and he said, "Tigress is putting you back based on what she heard about what you were attempting to do in our class. But this time...she's got a little help. And I know of your bullying bravado with Lazarus."

"How the...?" asked Nate.

Lazarus went over to them all and he went in front of Musaki and that seemed to make Nate a little furious and he came over to him and asked, "You told on me?"

"Had to. It's what you deserve for all the times you've bullied me for almost 5 years." Lazarus replied.

"5 years?" asked Shifu.

Musaki clears his throat and he brought in along Lazarus, Kenji and most of his students and he said, "If you need us, we'll be in the courtyard."

"Don't worry about a thing, Musaki. We will make sure Nate doesn't bother you." Tigress added.

As soon as they all left, all eyes were on Nate and he backed away from them until he landed into a wall with the warriors that close to him. Nate shuddered and lets out several whimpers and said in a weak tone, "Help..."


At the courtyard

Musaki and Arizona went in front of the kids and proceeded to train with them and Musaki asked, "All righty. We're nearing the end of this experience here. Did you guys have fun?"

All the kids cheered and he could tell that they did have a good time and he asked, "What all did you learn?"

"That it's not about feet and fists. It helps you learn to become the best you can be." the young fox said.

"Do some good in China."

"Patience, compassion, discipine, courage and confidence."

"Respecting the art form."

"Doing what you love to do."

"Work hard and be the best you can be at everything."

Musaki was definitely amazed to see all that they've learned in the course of three weeks and then Lazarus steps in and said, "That no matter how disabled you are, you can still do anything you set your mind to."

Arizona chuckled softly at this and he turns to Musaki and said, "I guess you being a new counselor really paid off."

Musaki nodded his head and looks back at the kids and said, "Wow! I am deeply surprised...and shocked that you've all learned everything I taught you in a short amount of time. But I'm mostly proud of you all."

"Thanks, Master Musaki." they said, while bowing to them.

"All right. In that case...let's get some training down!" Musaki exclaimed.

All the kids cheered and as he looked up at Lazarus, he could tell that the young red Husky has matured throughout the weeks and that he's gotten better and better and better with his prostetic arm and he's mostly proud of him for coming out and doing this.

"And here to help me out...is Arizona!"

Arizona rubs his paws of excitement and he said, "Time to show what a panda and a wolf can do kung-fu. It all takes concentration, teamwork and also basically trust. That's one thing Musaki has taught me; how to rely on your partner."

Just then, all the kids began working as groups to see how well they can do to make some great moves together and with witnessing Musaki and Arizona's moves they made with each other, each groups of four began to emulate whatever they're doing and with a little help from them, they got it all down to a science.

Impressed, Musaki and Arizona decided to let them test it out and as they've done it, they all came through with flying colors and Musaki high-fived all of the students and Arizona did the same thing as well. Next up, Arizona teaches them a few things about his style of kung-fu; Omega wolf style.

He loosens up his shoulders, got on his basic stance with one leg sticking out of the other and began incorporating every single kung-fu move others have done and with his originalities of quickness, agility and fierceness, he witnessed the most incredible style ever made. He did a backflip and a handstand and then spins around very quickly whie still keeping his hand on the ground and legs in the air.

And after that, he jumps up and did an aerial kick and lands on his feet and brung in some punches, kicks and swings all while leaning back on air and doing the splits. Most of the kids were amazed by how they did it and so did Musaki, who hung his mouth open in shock and disbelief that that move was his.

Arizona gets himself up and he said, "Wanna give it a try?"

"YEAH!" all the kids cheered.

Arizona chuckled softly and he said, "All right. We'll take it step by step and Musaki will help me out with a few things."

"That's if I remember what part you used." Musaki said, chuckling.

Lazarus and Kenji did their moves first and both of them combined some of Musaki's moves and Arizona's moves and transfer it into their original moves and when they tested them all out, both of them were blown away by how they managed to pull it off and most of the kids did their version, though quite a few messed up a little, but Arizona managed to correct them and became absoultely patient with them and kept encouraging them to keep going.

Hours have passed and when they've finally got it down pat, Musaki and Arizona couldn't help but feel immensely proud of all of them and Musaki said, "All right, guys! That was awesome!"

"Yeah, you guys impressed both of us!" Arizona cheered out.

The students bowed to them and Musaki looked at Lazarus and Kenji and he told them, "You two are gonna be somebody."

The fact that both Huskies' prostetic limbs showcased their kung-fu skills made the rest of the kids feel inspired and got the message that no matter what...even if it's one arm or no legs or whatever, they can do anything they set their minds to and still achieve it no matter how many times they fall down.

Most of them cheered for both of them and Musaki said, "All righty, guys. Let's have a little lunch break, huh?"

As the kids left, Arizona looks over at Musaki and he said, "Guess I learned quite a few things from you."

"And you too." Musaki dded.

Both of them left the courtyard and Musaki asked Arizona, "So...what do you think the masters are doing to Nate right now?"


So...how do you think the masters will do with Nate? You'll find out next!
