The final chapter! And the Hazards get to celebrate the new year!

Happy New Year!

New Years Eve in the Valley of Peace

At the Jade Palace, the masters were getting ready to embrace the new year and say goodbye to the old one as they make some new goals in their lives and for the Hazards, it's pretty much a means that they need to make some new goals for their personal lives as well as their strengths to gain when it comes to kung-fu.

For the Hazards, it's the first time celebrating the new year together.

Arizona and Musaki walks forward to the Hall of Heroes and seek the others getting themselves prepared for what the new year will bring them and Musaki asked, "So...are you looking forward to this?"

Takami looks up and replied, "I can hardly wait."

"You guys know that when a new year comes, it's time to start new goals, right?" asked Arizona.

"Pretty much." Takami replied.

Musaki nods his head in response and he asked, "What's your guys goals for the new year?"

Takami was the first one to reply to that and he answered, "Get stronger, control my powers and appreciate the journey more with my family and friends."

Ryo was next and he said, "Hopefully to control my dark power so I wouldn't be a threat to anyone, work more on my kung-fu, maybe annoy Skyler again..."

Skyler slowly rolls her head towards Ryo and growled in response and she said, "Would one of those goals be eat less?"

Ryo mocked Skyler's question and he said to her, "I'm sure your goals from the new year will the same one as last years."

"No...for your information; my new goals for the new year...gain more strength, control my powers, train little kids and also...kick your butt each time I get." Skyler responded.

Faith walks towards Arizona and Musaki and she said, "Well...I've got some goals of my own for the new year; be Max's apprentice, enjoy new experiences, protect my friends and spend eevry waking moment with my Phoenix Warrior."

Hope had heard that and he grew really bashful after hearing that and he lets out a simple blush and said, "Aw, shucks."

Arizona chuckled at this and he said, "What about you, Hope? Do you have any goals for the new year?"

"My goals for the new year is to get adjusted to being the Phoenix Warrior, gain some confidence and continue to get support from Faith." Hope replied.

Faith smiled at Hope and she said, "Sounds like a good goal to me."

Kiba went ahead and said, "Wanna hear my goals? Exercise, gain confidence, continue studying weapon mastery, do more pranks..."

"You and your pranks, Kiba." Skyler added, rolling her eyes.

Layla went ahead and repled, "Just to get stronger every second, hopefully go on more missions and stick by Takami's side even more."

The black tigress kissed Takami in the cheek and in response, Takami looked at her in the eye and said, "I like the last goal better."

"Get a room, you two." Arizona added.

Kaizer takes a deep breath and he chimed in on some of his goals for the new year and he said, "For me...continue my duty as the Avenger of Peace, try to leave behind what's left of my past and make up for the future, try not to be as hot-tempered and maybe teach Max a few things about kung-fu."

Arizona smiled in response and said, "You're gonna be a good mentor."

Hope then got in the middle and said, "Is one of those new goals is to kiss Felicity?"

"Shut up, Hope." Kaizer growled.

Layla then turns to Arizona and asked, "What about you? What goals would you have for the new year?"

"My goals are half the same as last year's; get stronger, work harder and continue to challenge myself in more ways than one and also to help out kids in need. That's my new goal, by the way. But mostly to find myself." Arizona replied.

"Great goals. Mine is to spend my last moments at the Jade Palace, work harder and enjoy the journey." Musaki replied.

Arizona widened his eyes at that and he couldn't be more happy for Musaki and he added, "Now they're awesome."

Later on, Musaki, Arizona and the Hazards gathered around with the Five, Master Shifu and Po around to celebrate the new year and Shifu said, "You've all had a very successful year with your training and it definitely showed. Along with our new students, I can assure you the the new year will bring in more success in the future as it lies ahead."

"Yes, master." they all said.

Shifu took a look at Musaki for a second and he said, "I just wanna let you know that I am geniunely proud of you for being the young man you're becoming and as you hit 18, you'll be ready for the world. But that's entirely up to you."

"Thanks...I think." Musaki added.

Later on, everyone gathered around the village to celebrate the new year in the best way possible and they were ready and prepared to say goodbye to the old year and hello to the new. Po gasped in surprise and he said, "It's about to start!"

Everyone in the crowd started counting down backwards as they get themselves ready.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...Happy new year!"

The fireworks flew out of the sky and pops out as everyone began cheering for the start of a new year with no looking back. The masters all celebrated along with the villagers and for Musaki and Arizona, along with Max...nothing was a lot better than celebrating it with the friends he's around with than the Hazards.

"Here it is, guys...the start of a new year." Musaki said.

Takami agreed with that and he said, "Yep. No turning back."

"Let's make it count." Kaizer said.

Everyone puts their paws together to enjoy each and every second like it's their last and they said, "1..2..3...together!"

From that moment on, there will be plenty more adventures with them yet to come because they have the best gift they've gotten; friendship.
