The two men shook on it and it was official. Rodando was going to Hollywood!
Rodando: Okay. Now, how do I get to this guy?
Kao A: Henry. He's going to fly you out on his helicopter tomorrow.
Rodando: Your guard? He's a pilot?
Kao A: Yes and a famous stunt man slash licenced flyer.
Rodando: (Raises his arms). Then what's he doing here? Oh wait right You still invite people here to train here?
Kao A: Hey R, what can I say? The legend of us taking down that prison factory has made us famous (Smiles wide). Lots of people want to learn with us.
Rodando: Hey, isn't that why people call me the "Cruel Master".
Kao A: Yeah you remember that body builder that you sent home crying.
Rodando: (Laughs) Por soquesto (Of course). Little punk couldn't do a decent 100 Gancho in under a minute.
Kao A: Rodando, he threw up after 5.
Rodando: Huh. That showed that he did not warm up before the training. And if I remember correctly, he was eating chips right before. How dare he call me that. I cleansed him. He should have paid me double.
Kao A: Amazing. World champion body builder. And you make him hurl like he did 100 bench curls.
Rodando: After 5 Gancho kicks.
(For you adventurous folk, here is how you perform a Gancho😎❣️🐻)
Kao A: 5 Ganchos yup.
The two stare at each other in silence.
Rodando: Well, after 100 push ups on with me sitting on his back.
Kao A: Ah hah! I knew it!
Rodando: Hahahahahaha. Strongest man in the world. I'm a fan who just wanted to witness his strength live. Show me what you can do without a decent warm. But hey, he did it!
Kao A: Rodando. I've seen you kick a coconut wide open. Didn't even need a hard surface or too high of a set. You just backwards round house
Rodando: Gancho.
Kao A: Ganchoed it. And boom milk was everywhere.
Rodando: (Shrugs his shoulders) Hey it's just kickin' if ya got it.
Kao A: Haha very funny.
Rodando turns to the side and does a swift bounce backward then forwards and performs a Gancho kick going over Kao A's head.
Kao A: Had that had hit my head. (Pushes his leg away).
Rodando: Don't need to warm up what's already hot. Still got top control.
Kao A: Well. I meditate and have work my fingers (Pushes his fingers back and forth. Then holds one up). Observe.
Kao A gets on his hands and knees. Presses his finger on the floor. Raises his hips then leaps his whole body into the air. Rodando widened and jaw drops.
Kao A calms his mind by shutting his eyes. But his assured bafflement from Rodando makes him smirk. The old man scopes around his friend. Checking for tiny sink holes that were able to suck his finger in at a pace that would allow him to stabilize his body upward. He steps on a chair, waves his hand above Kao A's feet feeling for wires: No effects. Finally, Rodando silently backs up and feels for an invisible anti gravity force field geared just toward him.
Rodando: (Awed) My Sweet Love in God.
Kao A (Slowly lowers himself down and comes up waving his aggravating hand.) A one finger handstand.
Rodando: (Blurts) I know what it is!
Kao A: Got it before you.
Rodando: Ha. But if it wasn't for me teaching you the handstand, and then the subsequent headstand, you wouldn't of even have the body mechanics.
Kao A: Ok! And my thanks to you is the hope of a fantastic trip. Make sure nothing happens to Mr Suns huh? And I'm sure he will make sure you're safe too. Goodnight bodyguard.
Rodando: (Smiles) Buena's Noches.
