PREVIOUSLY: Victor decides to invite the other Karate Kids to his house so they can have fun, he is very happy because after he started doing karate he made several new friends, but this happiness doesn't last long because soon the Cobra Kai students invade his house and a huge fight starts, Victor faces Jacob, Kate tries to help him but is attacked by Bianca and Julia at the same time, Richard finds himself face to face with Bill meanwhile Laura and the reluctant Vivian face each other, Victor is getting the upper hand in the fight against Jacob, but that changes when Kyler's nephew took a knife out of his pocket and used it to attack his opponent, he makes a deep cut in Victor's belly, Richard is furious and knocks Bill out with a kick, so he goes towards Jacob and breaks several of his teeth with a punch, he tries to fight for some more time, but Jacob proves to be a superior opponent to Richard, luckily Hawk Jr. arrives at that time and knocks Jacob down, Kate is having problems in her fight, but at the last minute Vivian decides to do the right thing and turns against Cobra Kai, the Karate Kids win the battle, but the problems are not over yet as Victor is badly injured.


After the fight yesterday, Victor underwent emergency surgery and a few hours after that he woke up and saw none other than Miguel.

Miguel: Glad you woke up.

Victor: Sensei.

Miguel: Today I'm not here as your sensei, I'm here as your doctor, I'm happy to inform you that your surgery was a success.

Victor's parents were there too, they cheered to hear that, but there was something strange about them, they weren't anything like Victor.

Miguel: The bad news is that during the fall he fractured several ribs and injured his spine, so even though the surgery was a success...

Victor's Mom: It will take a long time for him to recover, isn't it?

Victor: Will I be able to do karate again?

Victor's Dad: We'll talk about that later.

Miguel: You were lucky that your friends helped you, if they hadn't stopped the bleeding you probably wouldn't even have made it to the hospital.

Victor: Yeah, I'm really lucky to have friends like them.

Victor's Mom: Don't worry son, we won't rest until we put that boy who did this to you in jail.

Victor: No, this is a problem caused by karate, it has to be solved with karate.

Victor's Dad: Dr. Diaz, can we speak to our son privately?

Miguel: Sure, no problem, I'll leave you alone.

Miguel leaves the room and leaves Victor alone with his parents.

Victor: So what do you want to talk about?

Victor's Mom: Son, your dad and I have been thinking, we don't want something like this to happen to you again.

Victor's Dad: So we've decided that... you're not going to do karate anymore.

Victor: WHAT?

Victor's Mom: Darling, you have to understand that we are doing this for your own good.

Victor's Dad: Don't worry, you'll still be able to hang out with your friends and your girlfriend, you just won't do karate with them anymore.

Victor: But I... I don't want to stop doing karate, I understand you're worried that something like that will happen to me again, but that had nothing to do with me doing karate, I don't want to stop.

Victor's Mom: Sorry Victor, but you're not going to do karate anymore, and that's final.

Victor's Dad: That's right, I know you're angry now, but don't worry, you'll find something you like and it's less dangerous.

Later Samantha arrives at the hospital to visit Victor, but as soon as she arrives she finds his parents and they don't seem happy at all.

Samantha: How is he?... (she sees Victor's parents glaring at her) I... I'm sorry, for everything... I never meant for this to happen.

Victor's Mom: You're sorry? you should really be, he had a perfect life before he met you, he had never been in a fight and now look how he is.

Samantha: Trust me, I know how much you are suffering right now but...

Victor's Dad: Do you have children, Mrs. Larusso?

Samantha: It's actually Larusso Diaz, but... no, I don't have children.

Victor's Mom: So you don't know how much we are suffering, you will never understand.

Victor's Dad: Don't ever come near our son again.

Samantha leaves the hospital very sad, she felt guilty for what happened to Victor.

A few days later Victor was in the hospital when Kate appeared in his room.

Kate: Hi I... I hope you don't mind my showing up unannounced.

Victor: Not at all, I'm glad you came to see me.

Kate: There's no way I couldn't come, I was really worried about you, I heard the surgery went well, that's great, isn't it?

Victor: I'm not very optimistic, it was a very expensive surgery, my parents will be in debt, even if it worked, it's not guaranteed that I'll walk again.

Kate: Victor, I'm sorry, it was thanks to me that you got into karate, if it weren't for me...

Victor: No, you're talking like my parents, none of this is your fault.

Kate: I brought someone else to see you (she shows the stuffed cat they got at Golf N' Stuff).

Victor: Ms. Meow, glad you brought her, I'm so happy to see you two.

Kate: So I... I have to go now, but I'm coming back to visit you.

She kisses him and leaves.

Victor is very happy to see Kate again, but he was still sad that he couldn't do karate anymore, but what he didn't know is that Miguel overheard his parents saying that to him, one day Miguel entered Victor's room and started talking with him.

Miguel: So how are you feeling today?

Victor: Honestly, not much different from yesterday.

Miguel: Be patient, with time you will improve.

Victor: Dr. Diaz, can I talk to you about something?

Miguel: Of course and if you prefer you can call me Miguel.

Victor: Okay Miguel, but please don't tell my parents about this.

Miguel: You have my word.

Victor: It's just that since that day, my parents said they won't let me do karate anymore, but I... I don't want to stop, I enjoyed doing karate, I got stronger, more confident and I made a lot of new friends, I don't want to lose this.

Miguel: I understand, you know, when I was young something happened to me very similar to what happened to you, during a fight my opponent kicked me from the second floor, I fell on my back and was in a coma for two weeks, many people told me that I wouldn't be able to walk again, let alone fight karate again, but here we are today, do you know why? because I didn't give up, I put in the effort and I managed to bounce back, believe it or not, I barely got out of the wheelchair and managed to beat a guy from Cobra Kai so what I mean is, believe in yourself, you'll make it.

Victor: Thank you... sensei.

Miguel: When I started doing karate, my mother was also against it, but after a while she saw how good it was for me, I'm sure your parents will realize that too, so if you want to do karate, you should do, even if you have to do it in secret for a while, plus, Samantha and the others want you back too.

Victor: What happened to her? why hasn't she come to see me yet?

Miguel: She... she tried, but your parents refuse to let her see you.

In fact, that same day, Samantha had tried to visit Victor again, but as usual the boy's parents wouldn't allow it, but that afternoon an even more unexpected visitor showed up at the hospital, it was none other than Tory.

Tory arrived at the hospital, but soon saw Victor's parents glaring at her.

Victor's Mom: Don't even think about it.

Tory: Please, I just want to see how he is.

Victor's Dad: You never cared about him.

Tory: That's not true, I never stopped caring about him.

Victor's Mom: You had your chance with him, but you chose to give him to us, that has nothing to do with you.

Tory tried to argue with Victor's parents for a while longer, but to no avail, she then left the hospital and saw Samantha, she looked very sad.

Tory: What happened?

Samantha: I've been trying to visit him since the first day, but his parents won't let me, they blame me for what happened, and I can't blame them for doing this, because it all started because of me.

Tory: Don't blame yourself, it's true you are to blame for some things but what happened to Victor wasn't one of them, my students just freaked out.

Samantha: Glad to hear you had nothing to do with this, but if it wasn't you, then who?

Tory: I don't know, but I guarantee there will be severe punishment for whoever did this.

Samantha: Tory... can I ask you one more question?

Tory: Sure, go ahead.

Samantha: Why do you care so much about Victor? I mean, he's in my dojo and he just humiliated your student in the tournament finals.

Tory: You know, that boy, Victor... he's... he's my son.

Samantha: What?

Tory: Yeah, remember when I told you that Robby and I got divorced?

Samantha: Yes, so?

Tory: And that same day I found out I was pregnant, but since we had divorced I wanted to get rid of all of his memories so I could move on, so as soon as he was born I gave him to that couple.

Samantha: Tory I... I'm sorry.

Tory: It's okay, but even after that day I never stopped worrying about him.

Samantha: I understand, you know, I've always wanted to have kids, but I can't.

Tory: I know, your mom told me that, I'm sorry.

Samantha: It's okay, it's not your fault, luckily I have my niece Vivian and my students, they are very important to me.

Tory: I know how it is, you know, I didn't reopen Cobra Kai to fight you, but since the day I saw Bianca that way... not that I agree with what she and the others were doing with Kate.

Samantha: You know what, I think Robby was right, we're more alike than we realize.

Tory: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it's true, I was so angry when I heard you teamed up with Miguel and the Binary Brothers that I called Kenny and Piper and Ky... I have to go.

Samantha: Where are you going?

Tory: I think I know who was responsible for this.

Tory leaves the hospital and later she appears near a huge house, she then knocks on the door and an unknown man answers.

Tory: Hi, is Bianca here?

?: Yes come in.

Tory goes upstairs and into Bianca's room.

Bianca: Sensei Nichols, what are you doing here?

Tory: Don't worry, I'm not here to punish you, but please explain, what were you thinking?

Bianca: I noticed that you looked kind of tense because of Samantha and the Karate Kids, so Sensei Park suggested...

Tory: Thanks, that's all I needed to know.

Later Tory was at the dojo when Kyler showed up.

Kyler: Sensei, did you want to see me?

Tory: Yes, I did, Mr. Park, remember what I said to you that day?

Kyler: What are you talking about?

Tory: I said if you crossed the line once you were out, and what you did was the last straw, I gave you a chance, you didn't understand.

Kyler: What do you mean by that?

Tory: I mean, GET THE HECK OUT OF MY DOJO!

Kyler: What?

Tory: Exactly, get out of here, NOW! GET OUT!

Kyler leaves the dojo and soon after he sees his nephew Jacob being taken to juvie.

Kyler: Hey, what's going on?

Officer: Mr. Park, your nephew is being taken to juvie for what he did to Victor Carter, don't worry, he'll be out in a few months.

The cops take Jacob and Kyler is furious but does nothing to stop them.

Kyler: You think this is over Tory Nichols?

A few days later another unexpected visitor appeared in Victor's room, it was Johnny Lawrence and he was dressed as a doctor and accompanied by Miguel.

Miguel: You know I can lose my job for this, don't you?

Johnny: Chill out, I just want to say a few things to the boy.

Miguel: Okay then, but don't do anything stupid.

They enter Victor's room.

Johnny: Hey kid, I know we haven't met in person yet, but I had to come here to see you, I'm Johnny Lawrence.

Victor: I've heard of you, you're sensei's sensei.

Johnny: That's right, Miguel, if you don't mind I'd like to speak with him privately.

Miguel: Sure, no problem.

Miguel leaves and Johnny starts talking to Victor.

Johnny: I know it's weird that I come here to talk to a boy I barely know, but I saw your fight in the tournament and I know how strong you are, when Miguel was young he also had an accident, by that I mean, he was kicked from the second floor, but he got up, he walked again and today he is a doctor and a sensei, he overcame all those difficulties because he was strong and you are as strong as he was, maybe even more... don't tell him I said that.

Victor: Okay, I promise.

Johnny: What I mean is, no matter what others say, never accept defeat, if they say you have a 1% chance, have 99% faith, it's up to you, you'll make it, I know you will.

Hearing what Johnny said Victor felt confident enough to try to stand up again, he got up from the bed and stepped on the floor, he was on his feet again.

Johnny: You did it, I knew you could.

Victor: And all thanks to you.

Johnny: No Victor, all thanks to you... this is weird, this is the first time we've spoken but I feel like I know you from somewhere, almost like we're related.

Victor: Now that you mention it, me too, I... (he fell)

Johnny (helping Victor to his feet): All right, you fell like a champion.

Victor: You know that if you pressed that red button a robotic arm would put me back in bed, don't you?

Johnny: I'm not good with technology, I'm barely used to 2020s technologies.

Some time later Johnny left, Victor enjoyed meeting him, he may be tough but he really motivated him, Victor even managed to stand up for a few seconds, Victor also did physical therapy and over time his situation got better and better, he could walk again, he was sent home and hoped that things would get better... but they didn't.


Exactly, Victor is Tory and Robby's son, no wonder he fights so well, speaking of her it looks like she and Samantha are finally making peace, even better, Kyler was finally unmasked and his nephew went to juvie, will that the end for the original show's biggest punching bag? Or will he return to torment our heroes? how long will it take for Robby and the others to find out the truth about Victor? Find out in the NEXT CHAPTER.
