PREVIOUSLY: Miguel calls Hawk and Demetri to help him and Samantha defeat Cobra Kai, Hawk even brings his son, Hawk Jr. to join the dojo which they rename to Karate Kids, in addition to Hawk Jr. they also gain two new students, one of them is Richard the best friend of Victor and Kate and the other is none other than Laura who said she was sorry for hurting Kate in the tournament, Kate doesn't trust Laura but Samantha says everyone deserves a second chance after the end of training Amanda appears at the dojo, after Hawk and Demetri explain her what they are doing there she goes to Cobra Kai and tries to convince Tory to shut down the dojo but Tory refuses, she also tells Tory that Miguel, Hawk and Demetri teamed up with Samantha and that they won't rest until Cobra Kai is shut down, Tory gets angry and that night she calls three people, the next day Victor and Kate are sad because Richard doesn't want to train with them anymore because he thinks that he isn't good at karate, Demetri overhears this and says he can change his mind.
Even after her conversation with Amanda Larusso, Tory wasn't willing to shut down Cobra Kai, after all Samantha was the one who lose the tournament, by cheating? yes, but that doesn't matter since she lost she had to shut down her dojo but that wasn't going to happen so easily, another dojo war was about to start so Tory had to get ready, she arrived at Cobra Kai and sometime later her students arrived.
Tory: Good morning students, before we start I would like to introduce some friends of mine to you, this is sensei Elswith, this is sensei Payne and this is sensei Park.
Exactly, she had called Piper, Kenny, and Kyler to train her students, but one of the students recognized Kyler right away.
Jacob: Uncle?
Kyler: Jacob, since when do you train here?
Tory: So he's your nephew?
Kyler: Yeah.
Tory (in her head): Wow, now I understand why he lost so badly to that guy Victor in the finals.
Tory: These guys trained at Cobra Kai around the same time I did and they will help train you for what's coming.
Julia: Sensei, what's coming?
Tory: Our enemies are getting stronger, so we also have to get stronger and these guys are going to help us with that, aren't you?
Piper, Kenny and Kyler: YES SENSEI!
Piper: Hey Tory, there's someone out there.
She looks outside and sees two boys and a girl at the door of the dojo.
Tory: What do you want?
Boy 1: We want to join the dojo.
Kenny: It's not so easy to get into Cobra Kai, you guys have to prove yourselves worthy, you first (he calls one of the boys) what's your name?
The boy had dark skin and brown hair.
Boy 1: I'm Bill, Bill Taylor, my brother and I want to join Cobra Kai, don't we Phil?
Phill a fair-skinned, dark-haired boy just nodded.
Kenny: Okay, your opponent will be... you (he points to a boy with fair skin and blond hair)
The two get on the mat.
Tory: Get ready and... FIGHT!
Bill advances towards the blond boy and is hit by a punch, he falls, but then he trips the other boy, which knocks him to the ground, Bill then gets up and hits the other boy with a punch.
Tory: Finish him off!
Bill grabs the boy and hits him with one more punch.
Kyler: All right then, you're the next Phil, your opponent will be... you (he points to a dark haired Latin boy)
The two get on the mat.
Tory: Get ready and... FIGHT!
Phill tries to hit the other boy, but he blocks the attack, he tries to hit Phill, but he manages to dodge, the boy keeps trying to hit Phill, but he evades all the attacks and doesn't even try to fight back.
Kyler: Stop, you (he points to Phil), there's no place for cowards in this dojo, get out.
Piper: It's your turn now girl, what's your name?
Girl: Vivian, Vivian Larusso.
Everyone is shocked for a while and for a few seconds there is complete silence in the dojo, until Kenny decides to break the silence.
Kenny: Lapussos are not welcome here.
Kyler: That's right, get the heck out of here.
Tory: Who decides if she can join the dojo or not is me, do you understand? wait a minute, are you related to Samantha Larusso?
Vivian: Yes, she's my aunt, I swear that my wanting to join Cobra Kai has nothing to do with her, but...
Tory: Never mind, but since you're a Larusso you should know at least a little karate, in which case we won't go easy on you, Ms. Silva, show her what Cobra Kai is capable of.
Bianca: Yes sensei.
The two get on the mat.
Tory: Get ready and... FIGHT!
Bianca tries to land a punch, but Vivian blocks the attack and counterattacks hitting Bianca with a kick, Bianca falls to the ground, but trips Vivian, Vivian gets up, grabs Bianca and knocks her to the ground, she is about to give the final blow, but Bianca rolls to the other side and prevents it from happening, Bianca tries to hit Vivian with several punches, but she blocks them all and hits Bianca with a punch to the torso.
Tory: Not bad, you're in.
Julia: I can't believe Bianca lost to the newbie.
Bianca: This wasn't even a serious fight, you'll see, I'll crush her next time.
Julia: By the way, where is Laura? she has never missed practice so many times.
Bianca: I don't know, I haven't seen her at school anymore either.
Unaware of any of this, Samantha and the others were training their students.
Samantha: Okay guys, so far we've learned a lot of solo fighting techniques, but many times you'll encounter great threats and you'll have to rely on your friends to overcome them.
Miguel: That's why today you will learn to fight as a team, with this technique that we are going to teach you, two people can even defeat twenty, but for that it is necessary that your movements are perfectly synchronized with those of your partner.
Samantha and Miguel get on the deck over the lake and show their students what they have to do.
Samantha: Kate, Victor, how about you guys first?
Victor and Kate get on the deck and try to do the same as their senseis, but they end up falling into the lake.
Miguel: Not bad for the first time.
Samantha: Remember to use all your senses, feel where your partner is, all right, let's try again.
They get on the deck again, this time they manage to make a few more moves, but end up falling on the lake again.
Samantha: Much better, you're almost there.
They try to do it one more time and for the first time it feels like they are perfectly in sync, they feel exactly where their partner is and for that reason they know exactly what to do.
Miguel: Perfect, fantastic, amazing, you finally did it!
Samantha: All right, who's next?
Meanwhile the Binary Brothers were training their group in what appeared to be a forest.
Hawk: Right guys, at this point I think we all know that to win a fight it takes more than brute strength, it's not for nothing that they say that brains beat brawn all the time.
Demetri: So today's lesson is going to be using the environment to your advantage.
Hawk: Let us show you what we're talking about.
They start to fight, but the moment Hawk tries to hit Demetri he ducks and Hawk kicks a tree.
Hawk: Did you see what Demetri did? he saw that tree was behind him and made me hit it.
Demetri: Eli, do you mind taking care of the gang alone? I need to resolve something.
Hawk: No problem.
Later Richard was at a mall when Demetri shows up.
Demetri: I found you, you're Richard, aren't you?
Richard: Demetri?
Demetri: Your friends told me you gave up on karate.
Richard: Yes, it's nothing personal, on the contrary, it's an honor for me to meet you, but I'm just not good at it.
Demetri: You look like a boy I knew when I was younger.
Richard: Who was he?
Demetri: His name is Demetri Alexopoulos, yes, exactly, at that time I tried to join Cobra Kai, just because my best friends were there, but after getting beat up by the senseis I gave up on that place, the problem is that Eli doesn't stopped tormenting me, so I decided to join Miyagi-Do to learn how to defend myself, but it took me a while to learn just to dodge an attack.
Richard: Was it that bad?
Demetri: Much worse, but with time and with my sensei's teachings I got better and better, I got stronger, more confident and I even managed to get the girl of my dreams, who is now my wife, so it happened the big day, my first participation in the tournament, if a year before that someone had told me that I would make it to the semifinals of a karate tournament I would have thought that this guy had gone crazy... or someone invented a coding language named karate, so there I was, in the semifinals, my opponent was none other than the best Cobra Kai fighter, who had already trained with me in Miyagi-Do, but I went with everything I had and then...
Richard: You defeated him and become champion?
Demetri: No, I lost by 3-0, but I made it to the semifinals, which is a lot for someone who thought I could barely score a point, anyway, what I mean by all this is that everyone has their own pace of learning and yours won't necessarily be the same as Kate's or Victor's, but that doesn't mean you should give up, if you let me I can help you get better and I guarantee you, it will be the best thing that ever happened to you, so the what do you say?
Richard (shaking Demetri's hand): Yes sensei.
He and Richard go somewhere else.
Richard: What is this place?
Demetri: This is where I made my first counter-attack and this is where you'll make yours, remember it's not a matter of strength or speed, try to anticipate, like the spider sense.
Richard: Got it.
Demetri: Great, then get ready.
Demetri is about to hit Richard with a punch, but he uses the defensive techniques he's learned and counters by hitting Demetri in the torso.
Demetri: This will leave a mark, well done kid! you did it, let's go one more time.
Demetri tries to hit Richard with a kick, but the boy runs away.
Demetri: Hey, don't worry, it's just training.
Richard: Sorry, I panicked and...
Demetri: It's okay, you just showed me something else, you're pretty fast and that can be very useful in a fight, what do you say, ready to give the Karate Kids another chance?
Richard: Yes sensei!
Meanwhile with Samantha and Miguel:
Samantha: That's right guys, you've improved a lot.
Suddenly her cell phone starts to ring, she answers it and the person calling her was none other than Anthony.
Anthony: Samantha we need your help, our daughter has run away again.
Samantha: Don't worry, I'll help you find her, Miguel, take care of the gang until I get back.
Miguel: What happened?
Samantha: It's Vivian, she ran away from home again.
After some time, the training ends and all the students leave, Samantha keeps looking for her niece, but she doesn't find her anywhere, but when she finds her she is with Bianca and other Cobra Kai students, she goes to them in anger and demands that they leave Vivian alone.
Vivian: Aunt Sam.
Samantha: Stay away from my niece you sneaky Cobras.
Bianca: Why are you so angry? your niece is one of us now.
Samantha: WHAT?
Vivian: Girls, if you don't mind I'll talk to her alone.
The other girls leave
Samantha: Vivian... is what they said true?
Vivian: Yes, but I swear this has nothing to do with you, I'm just doing this to get back at my parents.
Samantha: Sweetie, trust me, I knew a guy who did a lot just to get back at his father, but it caused a lot of bad things, I know you're angry that your parents were absent for practically your entire childhood, but what you're doing isn't just hurting them.
Vivian: I'm sorry, but now I think that's the best for me, but don't worry, I defeated their top student today and that's why they respect me and if depends on me none of them will hurt your students.
Samantha: Well, that's a good thing, but... okay, you're old enough to make your own decisions.
She knew that trying to convince Vivian would be impossible, since the girl hates her parents, because they have always been absent, recently they have been trying to get closer to her, but the damage had already been done, but she had faith in her niece, she imagined that soon Vivian would realize that Cobra Kai is no good and would come back to ask her for help, but deep down she was heartbroken.
Later, some Cobra Kai students were spraying 'COBRA KAI NEVER DIES' on a wall when they saw some of the Karate Kids and among them was Laura.
Julia: Bianca, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Bianca: It can't be, that traitor, I'll destroy her.
She was about to attack Laura when Kyler and Jacob appeared.
Kyler: So this was the student who betrayed Cobra Kai?
Bianca: Yes sensei, but don't worry, I'll finish her right now.
Kyler: Hey, take it easy, can I make a suggestion?
Bianca: Sure, go ahead.
He whispers something in her ear.
Kyler: But don't let Larusso know, or she might rat you out to her aunt.
Jacob: I'll help too.
The next day Samantha and Miguel arrive at the dojo, but everything is destroyed.
Miguel: What happened here?
Samantha: Hmm, I smell Cobra.
She walks into a room and finds a note and on that note it was written 'Consider this a message from Tory Nichols'.
Yeah, it looks like things are getting worse and worse, just like in the original show someone from Cobra Kai destroyed the rival dojo, how will Tory feel when she finds out that Kyler sent her students to do this? Will Vivian stay at Cobra Kai or will she go out and help her aunt? and what about Kyler? what is his purpose in manipulating the students? what do you think will happen, find out IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.
By the way, many of you have been asking about Robby, I won't say anything to avoid spoilers, but I'll let you know that yes, he will appear.
WARNING: It is likely that the next chapters will take longer to come out, as from Febuary 21st I will have less time to write stories, but don't worry, I will continue this story until the end.
