Hi everyone. I haven't given up my John Kreese backstory but I just had an idea for a new story I wanted to try. This one will be set in the Cobra Kai universe and is post series 1.

Jessica Grey walked through the front doors of her new high school. She had just moved into the valley with her mum. They had moved there shortly after her dad had died. Obviously Jess had taken it hard but had also learned how to block out the pain and walks into the school trying to look strong and confident. Jess was an attractive girl who was 6'2 and had jet black hair and her body looked healthy and strong. Jess was also a kind person who had time for everyone and in her old school had hung out with everyone from the nerds to the sports teams. She wasn't worried about making friends and wasn't going to act desperate to find any.

Sam Larusso had also just walked into school. After the events of last year she promised herself she wasn't going to pretend to be someone she's not. She had given up Karate which she had always loved just because it seemed dorky to others, she had stayed away from her best friend just to hang out with prettier and more popular girls. But she had finally seen she was wrong and had gone back to who she was. She had started hanging out with Aisha again and had started Karate again. Now instead of spending weekends at parties she was at the dojo training or with Aisha. As she walks she notices a girl she had never seen before. She had heard a new girl was starting here. So Sam walks up to her to say hello.

"Hey are you new here?" Sam asks in a kind and understanding voice.

Jess turns to face her hearing this and eyes up the brown haired girl. Jess had always struggled to trust people but as she looked at Sam she was sure she seemed genuinely nice.

"Yeah just moved here from New York last week." She gives a small smile

Sam smiles back. "Ah that's cool I love New York we went there on holiday for Christmas a few years ago. How come you moved down here?"

Jess bit her lip. She didn't want to start a new friendship by lying to this girl who was making an obvious attempt to be nice but she also couldn't bring herself to say the truth.

"My mum just fancied a change of scenery." Sam nods noticing she doesn't mention her dad but doesn't bring it up.

"Well I hope you like it here. My names Sam by the way or Samantha. Whatever either works." She smiles at her.

"Nice to meet you I'm Jess."

The 2 have the first 2 classes together and hang out and talk in between lessons. Jess was relatively smart and was able to keep up with the lessons.

The next lesson was gym class and after they had gotten changed they waited around on the sports field with the rest of the class. They were just talking about random stuff and Jess was looking around at the class. She notices a small group of mostly guys and one girl. They seemed like a kind of gang. Jess was good at reading these situations and she guessed that the leader was this skinny Mexican kid with black hair and the second in command was this loud guy with a mowhawk. Sam sees where she's looking and rolls her eyes.

"Yeah stay away from those guys. They're a bunch of assholes. Well no that's unfair the girls really nice but the others are just horrible. Especially Miguel."

Jess assumed Miguel was the one she had guessed as the leader. She also noticed Sam sounded angrier and more bitter than she had heard her yet.

"Ah okay. I'm sensing some tension there. Some um history between you 2?"

Sam looks at her and sighs.

"Yeah ex. He was nice at first but he got bullied a bit the stood up for himself but then he changed and became a jerk. Then one night at a party he got drunk and he hit me."

Jess glares over at the guy called Miguel.

"What a dick. Just say the word and I'll go kick his ass."

Sam laughed. Typical New York girl always ready to fight. She shakes her head.

"Nah it's all good. Sorry I made that sound a lot worse. He wasn't trying to hit me."

Jess rolls her eyes.

"Oh he gave you that excuse did he? What will it be next time? It's your fault I'm doing this. Come on Sam I thought you were smarter."

Sam shakes her head.

"No no it wasn't like that. He really wasn't trying to hit me. I was talking to this other guy. Just talking before you ask and he got jealous and Miguel tried to hit him and he caught me when I was trying to separate it. I guess it's not all his fault. I handled stuff badly."

Jess shrugs and looks at her.

"Yeah maybe you did. But still whats that dumbass starting a fight without knowing the full story for?"

Sam just smiled at how ruthlessly blunt Jess was.

"Yeah I guess. They kind of did fight eventually. Miguel messed him up and fought dirty and targeted an injury that Hawk or Eli or whatever gave him."

"Wow yeah he is a dick. I'm guessing this Hawk is the one with the haircut."

"Yeah how did you know?"

"Only a guy with that dumb haircut would call himself Hawk."

Sam laughs again.

Meanwhile Yasmine had just walked onto the sports pitch. Since that bitch Aisha had humiliated her at that party her reputation had gone severely downhill. Yasmine couldn't go anywhere without being reminded of that stupid video of her being lifted in the air by her underwear. She was determined to get some respect back. She was looking around and glares seeing her old friend Sam who had turned out to just as much a loser and a dork as that bitch Aisha. Her eyes then divert to the girl she's with. A new girl. The perfect opportunity to show everyone who's boss.

Yasmine sneaks up on the pair. It was perfect. Sam was standing next to the new girl so wouldn't see her coming and hey if she got that Larusso bitch as well as new girl even better. She walks up to Jess and smirks and grabs Jess by her black underwear and yanks It up. The perfect way to get her reputation back by using the same humiliation she'd been given.

Jess is shocked feeling her underwear pulled and lets out a short scream. Not a high pitched scared scream like Yasmine had but an angry and indignant scream. Her face reddens hearing the surrounding people laugh. When Yasmine releases her she immediately spins round and shoves her hard.

"Hey what the hell's your problem bitch?" She yells. Suddenly everyone stopped laughing and was watching intently. Sam who Jess was grateful hadn't laughed walked in front of Jess.

"Yasmine leave her alone. This is her first day, she's done nothing to you just leave her." She almost begs.

Yasmine laughs. "Back off Sam unless you want the same."

"Yeah try it?" she glares lifting her hands and shifting her legs into a fighting stance.

"aww you gonna use your daddys dorky Karate on me. I'm sooo scared." She says sarcastically and laughs. Jess glares and puts her hand on Sams arm and whispers.

"Thanks for the help but I can handle her." Jess steps in front of her.

"Yasmine is it? Aren't you the one that got throw into the air by the front of your panties by a girl you'd been bullying." She glances at the Cobra Kai group where Aisha was and who hadn't laughed and were all now watching interested.

"Yeah whatever that bitch cheap shotted me. She couldn't do it again."

Jess smirked smugly and folds her arm.

"Cheap shot? Sam showed me the video. Looked to me she was standing in front of you and yet the one you just gave me you got me from behind so what do you call that? But anyway if you try to bully me it won't take me months to get you back and I'll do a lot worse than give you a wedgie are we clear?" she says in a strong determined voice which makes the watching crowd react.

Yasmine is slightly shocked for a second but recovers. "Big words but I know you're not going to do shit all." She smirks and reaches to yank the new girls hair.

As soon as Yasmines hand gets near Jess she instantly grabbed her wrist and twists it hard causing a yelp from Yasmine who stumbles to the side. As she stumbles Jess launches a perfectly executed front kick into Yasmines chest which sends her flying across the pitch and lands heavy on the floor.

This causes an explosion of shock and cheers from the crowd. Sam steps back looking stunned. Jess leaves her side and slowly walks towards Yasmine.

"Look blondie I don't wanna fight you. Walk away now and this is over and you can save what reputation you have left."

Yasmine staggers to her feet badly winded. She was out of her depth. She was not a physical bully. She used blackmail and insults and social media to bully people. She had only resorted to physical attacks out of desperation and was now paying for it. But now she had no choice.

"you're dead."

She runs at Jess and throws a terrible punch which Jess blocks easily and almost at the same time as the block stops the punch Jess fires a straight punch direct into Yasmines nose. Jess fees it break as soon as it makes contact. Blood explodes from Yasmines face and gets in her blonde hair. Her eyes were watering but makes another charge. Jess had enough now and wanted to end it. She side steps her and sends a knee into her stomach which makes her double over then she a roundhouse kick which crashes into her head sending her crashing into the mud.

Jess steps back holding her hands up in a passive position showing she didn't want to fight. She had held back her power on Yasmine so she wasn't knocked out which she should've been from a kick like that from. Yasmine staggers up. Her clothes were covered in both mud and her own blood so was her normally perfect face. Apart from the mud and blood her was now crooked from the first punch and bruises already forming and her make up running down her face because of her watering eyes. She looks round at the cheering crowd and runs away out the gate on the pitch.

Jess ignores the cheers and walks back to Sam and gives her a small smile.

"Thanks for sticking up for me. Not many would do that for a new girl."

"Yeah well no problem but well I obviously didn't need to did i? Why didn't you tell me you do Karate?"

Jess shrugs.

"Why didn't you? Come on I saw that fighting stance. That's not just a stance that someone with no experience uses."

Sam smiles and shrugs as well.

"Yeah okay fair enough guilty. But wow that was amazing. Hey I've got a dojo at home would you like to come round after school and maybe swap moves?"

Jess bit her lip again. She had wanted to put Karate in her past and didn't want to let anyone know she could fight. But that was never going to happen now and anyway wasn't some idiot meat head. She was kind and sweet and loyal. Willing to stand up for someone she'd just met.

"Yeah go on then. But hey don't expect me to take it easy on ya." She grins and winks.

Sam smirks. "As long as you don't expect that of me." She winks back.

The teacher comes along and the lesson starts. After class the Cobra Kai gang were still pumped up from that fight. Aisha in particular loved watching her former bully get a beat down.

"That was so bad ass what she did. Damm I wish I'd gotten to do that instead of just a wedgie."

Hawk was equally pumped up.

"Hell yeah new girl can throw her hands. She should so come to Cobrai Kai. Sensei would love her right Miguel? Oi earth to Miguel or is the champ not allowed to talk to us peasants?"

Miguel had been pumped up by the fight too but he had also Sam and the new girl glaring at him. She'd obviously filled her in on their history.

"Huh oh yeah sorry. That was cool she'd be a Cobra for sure. But she's friends with Sam. Sams probably told her how awful Cobra Kai is."

Aisha shakes her head.

"She doesn't hate all of Cobra Kai. She's friends with me isn't she? She doesn't hate all Cobra Kai. She just hates Cobra Kai that get drunk and punch her in the face."

Miguel groans. "I told you that was an accident."

Aisha nods. "I know I believe you but doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to be pissed. Whatever I'm going to say hi to new girl."

Jess and Sam were walking together when Aisha runs up to them.

"Hey Sam."

Sam smiles at her.

"Hey Aisha sorry I haven't spoken to you today was just showing Jess around. This is Jess by the way."

Jess gives a small wave. "Hi I've heard a lot of good stuff from Sam.

"Yeah well I saw a lot of good stuff about you out there. You kicked Yasmines ass."

Jess gives an embarrassed smile. "Yeah but fighting on the first day. Not exactly the perfect start but anyway I know you're the one that truly put her down. That was brave of you standing up to a bully. I didn't know Yasmine she had never scared me or humiliated me. Well apart from the wedgie but I don't give a shit about that."

Before Aisha could reply Miguel and Hawk join them. Sam glares and looks at the floor. Jess gives them both a look. Miguel talks first.

"Hi I'm Miguel this is Hawk."

"Yeah I know who you are." She says coldly. Miguel glances at Sam who looks embarrassed.

"Well um I just wanted those were some nice moves."

Jess shrugs.

"It's easy to look good against some stuck up princess who couldn't fight her way out of a wet paper bag."

Miguel could sense her hostility but she was talking to him so continued.

"What is it you do? Um is it like Karate or kickboxing or taekwondo?"

"Karate." She says shortly.

"Oh that's cool me Hawk and Aisha we do Karate to. What dojo do you go to?"

"I don't have a dojo." She answers shortly again wishing he'd leave them alone.

"Oh really? Well hey you could always come to ours?"

Sam snorts and glares at Miguel. Jess notices It and ignores her. She had no intention with someone like that but humoured him anyway.

"What dojo do you train with?"

Miguel smiles proudly as he says the name.

"Cobra Kai"

Jess stops dead and glares even more at him.

"I heard Cobra Kai died out years ago."

Hawk smirks and decides to comment.

"Cobra Kai never die new girl"

Jess looked like she was about to punch Hawk. Sam looked at her confused as Jess snarls.

"I'd rather cut my throat then join Cobra Kai."

Like Sam Miguel was confused by her anger.

"You know nothing about us."

"I know that Cobra Kai is full of bullying thugs who know nothing of honour or respect. They're a bunch of sadists who enjoy hurting people. Everything I've heard about you sounds exactly like what Cobra Kai is. A guy who punches his girlfriend because he's trying to fight a guy she dares to talk to. You make me sick." She storms off away from everyone.

Later after school Jess runs up to Sam and smiles at her.

"Sorry I'm late everyone kept bugging me about that stupid fight. I'm surprised I haven't been pulled in about it from the teachers."

Sam laughs and holds her hand. They start walking to her house.

"Yeah I doubt they'd care. The teachers hate Yasmine as much as we do."

"Well that's good to know. Look I'm sorry I stormed off before. I guess my adrenaline was still pumping after the fight and well I'm a bit of a mouthy bitch at the best of times." She gives a small laugh which Sam returns.

"Yeah I noticed. But um why are you so against Cobra Kai? I never even mentioned that name to you. How do you even know about them?"

Great now she had to lie to her friend again.

"I don't. But that dick Miguel seemed to be proud of them so I insulted it. That's all."

Sam got the feeling she was lying but like the thing with her dad she didn't press it.

They carry on walking to her house. Talking about random stuff and talking about the moves Jess used on Yasmine and what Sam would do different. They get to her house and Sam looks and sees her parents aren't home. She shrugs and walk into the family dojo.

"Wow this is awesome."

Jess looks around the dojo and slips her shoes off automatically before she steps on the mat. She looks at the 2 large trophies.

"Nice are these yours?"

Sam laughs and rolls her eyes.

"Oh yeah because I'd be competing in the 84 and 85 under 18 all valley tournament wouldn't i?"

Jess looks closer and shrugs with a grin.

"Well hey you were certainly under 18 then."

"I was under 0 then. Nah they're my dads."

Jess nods.

"Your dad the one that taught you?"

"Yeah I stopped for a few years but started again after the last all valley."

"Why? You interested in going for it and winning one of these yourself?"

"No no I don't care about competition but I realised I needed to train again."

Jess figures something out.

"That guy you said Miguel fought dirty against. That was at the tournament?"

"Yeah anyway hey lets do this. Um oh you need a gi. Hang on dad should have a spare in here. She pulls out a white gi from a cupboard and throws it to Jess. Then goes to a cupboard of belts.

"What belt are you?"

"brown." Jess says as she changes into the gi and sam chucks a brown belt at her.

"Seriously with the skills you showed you should be black belt"

Jess shrugs and puts the belt on and waits for Sam to change into her own gi and puts her black belt on. Sam grins at her and steps on the mat.

"Ready?"

Jess grins back.

"Bring it."

The 2 girls bow to each other and start to spar. Both were extremely skilled and Sam uses anumber of aerobic kicks. Jess blocks and returns with a series of punches and turns into a spinning back kick which hits sam just above the waist which sends her back a little. Sam smiles and nods and comes back and counters Jess's roundhouse kick with a sweep that makes Jess fall on the mat. Jess smirks at her and gets up.

The 2 continue to spar at a high pace but both keeping control and not using any power capable of hurting the other. They were very evenly matched but in different ways. Jess struggled to break through Sams amazing defence and was kept on her toes but her aerobic kicks. Sam was struggling with the speed of attack coming at her and while Jess may not have as flashy kicks as Sam her speed and timing was outstanding. They continue to spar for a long both landing good shots but neither able to take advantage. Eventually they both come to an unspoken agreement to stop. They both bow to each other and burst out laughing and hug each other. Neither girl had faced as tough an opponent as the other. Sam beams her face covered in sweat.

"You're amazing you so should be a black belt."

Jess had a big smile to and was also covered in sweat.

"I knew you knew karate but didn't expect you to be that good and you said you were rusty. If you were 100% you'd have beaten me."

Sam shrugs.

"Hey who cares I wasn't sparing to beat you."

"Nah me neither damm that was fun."

"Hell yeah but hey you better wash that gi before you give it back you're sweating all over it."

Sam laughs and Jess laughs back.

"You can talk Sammy."

"Yeah well this is my gi."

"Fair enough."

The 2 girls laugh and Sam goes and gets 2 cans of coke and gives one to Jess. They both take off their belts and undo their gi tops and go and sit outside.

Jess sips her drink and smiles.

"Your dad taught you well."

Sam smiles.

"Thanks. Um can I ask who taught you? I'm sorry I don't want to be nosy I'm just curious.

Jess sighs. She really liked Sam and just couldn't fully lie to her face.

"My dad taught me as well. He died a few months ago."

She looks down. Sam sighs feeling terrible.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked. It's not my business."

Jess shakes her head.

"No its fine you're my friend I don't mind telling you. That's why we moved down here to."

Sam nods.

"Yeah that's understandable. Look again i don't wanna be nosy. But what's your beef with Cobra Kai. I know it wasn't just to annoy Miguel. You seemed to know about them like not just the dojo that opened last year. The old one. Look Cobra Kai were the reason my dad started Karate they bullied him and beat him up. The first trophy in there was actually won by my dad by beating Cobra Kais current sensei. Sorry I'll shut up."

Jess listens to the story then shakes her head.

"No it's fine. Yeah I knew of Cobra Kai way before I came here. I know about all the old school guys. Sensei lawerence who runs it now. I know about John Kreese, Terry Silver, Mike Barnes, Dutch, Tommy, Bobby all those guys. I also know about your dad beating them. But I only just realised it was your dad just now with the story. I should've recognised the name Larusso and the fact those trophies are from 84 and 85."

Sam was looking genuinely confused. "How do you know so much? Most of those names you said would be in their 50s or older by now."

Jess sighed.

"I know them because of my dad. Please don't hate me for this,"

"Hey I'd never hate you. You're like the only girl apart from Aisha who's into karate and your lovely and awesome. Your dad isn't you so come on what Is it?"

Jess sighs again.

"I know so much because…My style originated from Cobra Kai. My dad's Sensei was John Kreese. He was Cobra Kai…

A/n: Wow didn't expect to write so much for this but I just got really into it. I hope people enjoyed my story. I tried to do justice to the characters but not sure if they were good enough. I've got some plans for this story. I'd love any feedback you guys want to give me. I really enjoyed writing this so I will carry it on. But please please review and any criticisms I'm happy to hear. I know Johnny and Daniel weren't in this but they will be in the future. Thanks for reading.
