The Rising Destiny

Bonjour, Mon Amis. I am back with this new story. I hope you will like it.
Chapter 1
Aisha Robinson was sitting in front of her laptop. Tears were forming in her eyes. As like every other day, her mailbox was now full with hate messages.
Fugly bitch.
You don't deserve to have any friends.
Go kill yourself; I cannot see your ugly face again.
The messages were mostly anonymous. The accounts were unnamed and fake. She was feeling that every single day, she was becoming alone and alone. Even her childhood friend, Samantha Larusso was ignoring her. She was now bosom buddies with Yasmine and Moon.
She looked at her image in the large mirror. She actually knew that she was not typically, what they said, 'stylish' and 'sexy'. But that did not mean she would be a constant target of harassing and cyber bullying.
Suddenly, her phone started vibrating. Someone sent her a whatsapp message.
"Again another mean text." She thought to herself. But her curiosity took control over her. She took her phone and checked the message.
It was a picture of a small blonde kid with glasses. The boy was younger than her. A name was printed on the picture.
"Bert.", she read the name.
It was odd, she thought. Someone must make some mistake in the number. But no number was showing in her phone, just two words, 'Private Number'.
"Number with restricted id, interesting."
Then suddenly her phone vibrated again. It was another whatsapp message from that 'Private number'.
It said, "Ms. Aisha Robinson, this boy will meet you in the evening. I am entrusting both of you with very important information. Such information can change not only your lives but also it can change a lot of people's lives. Please, use the information wisely. Both of you must not share this with anyone. You have very big responsibility on your shoulders. I have trust on both of you. You have intellect, cool heads and better judgemental qualities. I wish you best of luck."
Aisha read the message again and again. Someone entrusted her with information that can change life. But why someone would choose her? She was just a fat, nerdy, bullied, lonely girl.
"It must be some cruel prank." She thought to herself. That conclusion seemed perfect in her mind. This was just a prank to make her feel embarrassed again. No one will come in the evening. She threw her phone on the bed and took her physics book. Study always made her forget all bad things in life.
The wall clock in her room rang five times. It was 5 p.m. She got up from her bed and took a packet of chips. Suddenly she heard a knock at the door.
"Aisha, honey, you have a visitor." She heard her mom's voice from outside.
"Huh?"She thought to herself. Those prank stars took it very seriously then. She opened the door and went to the living room. There at the living room, a small blond boy was sitting on a sofa.
Aisha Robinson knew that face. The same face from that picture.
"Bert?" She could not help but asked.
Bert stood up from the sofa. He extended a hand towards her.
"Miss Robinson? It's nice to meet you."
Aisha took his hand then studied his face. That boy did not look like a prank star. In his eyes, there was a certain type of simplicity. His face alone said that the boy was trustworthy.
"Let's go to my room." She said. Bert followed her with a nod. They entered her room. Aisha closed the door.
"Let's get to the point. Are you a part of some very great practical joke on me?" Aisha asked the boy, giving him a stern look.
"I can ask you the same thing, Miss Robinson. This is not nice to prank a boy younger than you."Bert replied. Then he pulled out a DVD box from his jacket's pocket.
"I got this yesterday night. Someone delivered it in a parcel with a letter. At first I also thought it as a prank, but you know my curiosity overwhelmed me, and I come here."
Aisha took the DVD box. It had a logo on the cover. The logo was of a black and yellow snake. Three sentences were circulating the snake.
Strike first; Strike hard; No mercy.
Above the logo, there were two wires printed in yellow.
'Cobra Kai?" Aisha read the name. The name sounded unfamiliar. Then she looked at Bert.
"Do you have the letter with you?" she asked.
Bert took a brown envelope from his pocket and handed her. The letter and the envelope both had no names. It was typed in a typewriter. The letter had exactly same message that she got, except for one extra line. Bert was instructed to watch the DVD with her.
"Can we watch it now?" He asked, somewhat impatient.
Aisha took her laptop and took a disc from the box. The box had two disks, numbers were written on them. She took the first disc and inserted into her laptop.
After an hour, both of them were shockingly staring at the computer screen, unable to believe what was happening in front of their eyes. The DVD had something like a television show. But the most incredible thing was that she saw faces she knew. At the first episode, she saw Daniel Larusso, Samantha, Yasmine and Moon. She also saw Kyler and his gang bullying a Hispanic teenager, when a shabby looking man beat the hell out of them. In the second episode, she even saw herself with her dad in the country club's party.
Now her head was actually spinning. The dress she was wearing in that 'show', was the one her dad gave her today morning. The party in the country club would be held after four days. That means only one thing.
But Aisha Robinson was a lover of science, and still her mind took the impossible and insane solution.
"Do you know what this means, Bert?" her voice was shaking now.
Bert, who was watching silently, now looked into her eyes.
"It shows life stories of people whom we know and I think we will know in future. Do you see Johnny Lawrence fixing the fuse box of a house? That was my house. Three days ago, he fixed that thing." He scratched his head. He was in deep thought.
"It also shows future. That party will be held after four days."
Bert's eyes were now actually popping out from his face. He tried to say something when suddenly his phone rang.
"Oh, it's my mom." Bert said after checking his messages, "Well, I have to go today."
"Wait a minute. I need you to do something. Do you have a computer?"
Bert nodded affirmatively.
Aisha copied the contents of two DVD's in a pen-drive and handed him.
"We both watched two episodes together. Since we don't have that amount of time, we will both watch the episodes in our respective houses. We will do one more thing. Both of us will make notes about the main features which we could change. Can you do it?"
"Yes, Miss Robinson." Bert stood up.
A smile formed in her face.
"Please, call me Aisha." she extended her hand, "It is nice to meet you too."
A/N: I have always felt that both the characters of Aisha and Bert are full of immense potential. But both of them are underused in the series. So I am writing this story to give them the proper respect they deserve. Feel free to give me suggestions. Constructive criticisms are most welcome.
