Chapter 1: Cobra What?

James's POV:

I can't believe it. We finally moved into our new house. My parents and I still have a lot of work to do before this house feels like home, but I'm still happy. To be honest, I was extremely nervous to move to Reseda. I've seen lots of news stories about Karate gangs having huge fights. One even resulted in a kid getting kicked off a balcony! That fight took place at West Valley High…my new school. I start going there tomorrow. I don't know anyone here, so it's going to be tough, but I'm optimistic.

"Hey Mom, I'm going to ride my bike through town, is that okay?" I ask.

"Sure honey. Just get home before dinner." My mom replies. I thank her and leave my house. I get on my bike and start riding. I wonder what this place is like? As I'm riding, I take a look at all the buildings around me. Wow, I think I'm the only one out here. As I look to my left, I don't notice the parked motorcycle in front of me and crash head on into it. I fly over it before tumbling to the ground. I'm in a lot of pain, however, that's the least of my problems. I see a group of kids exit the building next to me.

"What the hell dumbass?" A kid with a red mohawk yells. The kid runs over to, what I presume, his motorcycle and starts checking the damage.

"Dammit." I hear him shout before turning to face me again.

"Asshole! You're going to pay for this!" The kid with the mohawk says. I hope he's being literal.

"I'm sorry! I wasn't focusing and I just crashed." I say.

"I don't care how it happened. You're going to pay for what you did." The mohawk kid says. He nods towards one of his friends. The kid he nodded towards was Asian and had black hair. He grabs me by my shirt and punches me in the face before throwing me back on the ground.

"How do you like that pussy?" He shouts. I try to get up but the mohawk kid kicks me in the face. My vision was getting blurry and I now had a bloody nose. All the kids take turns kicking me until I can't even bring myself to move. Once that's over, the mohawk kid reaches into my front pocket and pulls out my wallet. He looks through disappointedly.

"Shit, there's less than five dollars in here. I guess it's better than nothing." He says. While taking my money. He then finds a card that has my new house address on it. He smiles.

"If you even think about calling the cops, we will come to your house." He says before throwing my wallet at my face. He picks me up one more time and punches me in my gut. I'm in so much pain and I just want it to end. The kids get on their motorcycles and start them. They don't leave before riding over my bike. It takes me a few minutes before I get up and pick up my destroyed bike. I then begin the long walk home. When I enter my house, my parents are shocked at my appearance.

"What happened?" My dad asks.

"I got into a major bike crash. It hurts so much." I say. I don't want to tell them about the kids. I'm worried about what they will do if they find out I snitched.

"We have to get you to a hospital." My mom says. We get in the car and drive to the hospital. The doctors check me out. I have some heavy bruises and cuts but nothing was broken. After that we get back home. I can't wait to just lie down and go to bed. I'm hoping that those kids don't go to my new school.

Third Person POV:

Hawk, Kyler, and the rest of the Cobra Kais return to their dojo. Tory was already there, waiting for them.

"So, what did you guys do?" Tory asks.

"Oh, we kicked the shit out of a kid who crashed into my motorcycle, but other than that, nothing too exciting." Hawk says. Tory smirks before Kreese leaves his office and enters the main dojo.

"Class, we have a lot of new people who've joined Cobra Kai recently. So tomorrow, we are going to work extra hard and get everybody ready." Kreese says. After he says that, a new kid enters the dojo.

"Welcome to Cobra Kai." Kreese says.

"So I am in the right place. Cool. I heard about you guys. You seem pretty cool. How do I join?" The kid asks.

"You just did. We'll see what you got during tomorrow's class. What's your name?" Kreese asks.

"I'm Steve." Steve answers

Author's Note: Thanks for reading! This is my first fanfic. I'm really nervous for some reason. I already have a lot of the story in mind but may change it later.
