A few days after returning home, Victor was at the park, he was alone, practicing some karate moves, everything seemed fine, until Jacob showed up.
Jacob: You didn't think I'd let you get away with that, did you?
Victor: Shouldn't you be in juvie?
Jacob: I should, but I left there, just to get you and that's what I'm going to do.
Jacob tries to hit Victor with a punch, but he dodges and tries to counter with a kick, but Jacob grabs his leg and knocks him to the ground, Jacob tries to hit Victor with a punch, but he dodges, Victor hits Jacob with a punch, but Jacob blocks the attack, Jacob grabs Victor and throws him against a tree and hits him with a kick.
Jacob: Your little friends are not here to save you, you are alone, now you will pay for what you did.
He shows the knife to Victor and is about to plunge the knife into Victor's neck, Victor can't help but watch in fear, Jacob was about to finish Victor off when all of a sudden...
All of that was just a nightmare, Victor wakes up in his room, but he's still very scared.
He goes to the kitchen to have breakfast with his parents.
Victor's Mom: Good morning son.
Victor's Dad: How was your first night at home?
Victor: It was great, I'm happy to walk home, literally.
Victor's Dad: Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.
Victor: Well I... if you don't mind I'm leaving in a little while to see Kate.
Victor's Mom: Sure, no problem.
Victor didn't tell his parents about his nightmare, he thought it would all go away as soon as he started doing karate again, so despite his parents not approving he went to the dojo and when he arrived, Kate was there.
Kate: Hi, nice to see you here.
She kisses him.
Victor: I'm happy to be back, but... don't tell my parents, they don't know I'm here.
Hawk Jr.: The champion is back! Hey dude, are you ready to fight again?
Victor: Yeah, I think I'm ready.
Hawk Jr.: Great, you have to defend your title, but you'll have to go through me.
Victor: I can't wait, but don't think I'm going to make it easy for you.
Vivian: We have more good news, my aunt said she talked to Tory and they agreed to solve things at the next tournament.
Samantha: That's right Vivian, last night she and I talked and this happened:
Samantha's Flashback
Samantha: Let's cut to the chase, our rivalry is hurting a lot of innocent people, we have to stop this.
Tory: I agree, but that doesn't mean I've given up on beating you.
Samantha: Of course not, but as we can see we both have more in common than we thought, and one of those things is that we love our students.
Tory: Well that's true and I think I already know where this is going and I accept it.
Samantha: Alright then, in the next tournament we will compete, no longer as enemies and we will see once and for all which of our students is the best.
Tory: That's right, besides we'll find out which one of us is the best sensei.
Samantha: Okay, we'll settle this at the tournament and we'll tell our students not to fight until then.
Tory: Also, I'll make sure my students don't cheat this time.
Samantha: Glad to hear that.
Samantha and Tory shake hands and leave.
End of flashback
Miguel: Exactly, so no matter what, you and the Cobra Kai guys won't fight until the tournament.
Hawk: But when the day comes, you'll show them who's boss.
Demetri: Also, Tory said she kicked Kyler Park out of the dojo and Jacob Park went to juvie.
Samantha: That being said, let's start the training.
Meanwhile in juvie, Jacob was at the computer talking to Kyler, when suddenly one of the boys pulls the power cord.
Boy (sarcastically): Whoops, sorry, did you lose something important?
Jacob: Stop it dude, you've been being a pain in my butt since I got here, why don't you leave me alone?
Boy: Not gonna happen.
Jacob: I'm warning you, leave me alone.
The boy who was bothering Jacob looked a lot like Kenny, but he was even more like Kenny's older brother Shawn Payne.
Boy: Oh wait, I know you, you're that kid who stabbed a kid who's two feet shorter than you just because you couldn't beat him alone.
Everyone starts laughing and Jacob gets angry, he tries to hit that boy but he blocks the attack, he then throws Jacob to the ground and the other boys start hitting him.
The next day, Kyler comes to visit Jacob at juvie.
Kyler: Hey, what's this all-battered face?
Jacob: You can't imagine the hell I'm going through uncle, even with my Cobra Kai training I can't defeat the guys here.
Kyler: Relax my boy, your uncle is here to help you, Nichols' training can help you earn some points in tournaments, but this is real life so there are three rules you need to know.
Jacob: Three rules? what are they?
Kyler: Rule number one, if a man can't stand, he can't fight, rule number two, if a man can't see, he can't fight, and finally, rule number three, if a man can't breathe, he can't fight.
Jacob: Hmm, I think I get it, thanks uncle.
Kyler: No problem, I'll always be here for you.
Jacob: No, really, you've helped me a lot my whole life, you know, at first I was mad at my parents when they sent me to live with you, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me, you should be the Cobra Kai's main sensei, not Nichols.
Kyler: Is that what you think? well, if you want this, i'm going to need your help.
Jacob: What do you want me to do?
Kyler whispers something in Jacob's ear.
The next day, the boys who beat up Jacob the day before were minding their own business when Jacob punched one of them in the eye, then another boy tried to attack him from behind but Jacob hit him in the windpipe, then another boy tried to grab him, but he elbowed him in the eye and when the first boy stood up Jacob kicked him in the legs, Jacob screams in victory.
That same day, Kyler was at his brother's, Jacob's dad's house.
Kyler: I think you know what happened to your son.
Jacob's Dad: Forget it, he's not my problem anymore.
Kyler: He's your son, so what if he has behavior problems? Do you think you're making it better by simply ignoring him when he needs you most? If you and your wife don't care about your son, I do.
Jacob's Dad: Of course you care about him, he's just like you.
Kyler: This is your final warning, help him or else... (he jumps into fighting stance)
Jacob's Dad: Or else what?
Kyler: This will happen to you.
Kyler throws his brother to the ground and starts to choke him.
Kyler: So? Will you help Jacob?
Jacob's Dad: Y...yes, I will.
Kyler: Great, that's what being a good dad is all about.
Later at juvie, Jacob went to talk to one of the boys.
Jacob: Hey dude, sorry about this morning, you were being an asshole to me and I had to fight back, what's your name?
Boy: Steve, Steve Payne.
Jacob: Payne? are you related to Kenny Payne?
Steve: Wait, do you know my uncle?
Jacob: Of course, he is a sensei in the dojo I trained, my uncle was too, but the owner of the dojo kicked him out, probably because she was jealous of him, because it was only with his tips that I managed to defeat you, and I have to say, you're promising, how about joining my team?
Steve: Sure, sounds like a good idea.
The next day, Jacob leaves juvie and he goes straight to Kyler's house.
Kyler: Glad you're out.
Jacob: Thanks for helping me out.
Kyler: You don't have to thank me, are you ready to start training now?
Jacob: Yes sensei.
They go to the basement and there are some dummies there.
Kyler: You know what to do.
Jacob goes to the dummies and starts punching them.
Kyler: That's right, very good, hit hard, like the guy you want to hit is behind the dummy, hit the eyes so your enemy can't see, hit the windpipe and your enemy can't breathe, hit the legs and he can't stand.
He keeps hitting the dummies until his hands start to burn.
Kyler: Great, that was a great first day of training.
Jacob: What do I do now?
Kyler: Tomorrow you go to Cobra Kai and make Nichols believe you're on her side, so on tournament day, you humiliate your opponent in the finals and they'll see that our way is the best.
The next day at Cobra Kai:
Tory: You heard, Samantha and I decided to work things out at the tournament, so no fighting the Karate Kids until then, understand?
Students: YES SENSEI!
Tory: Now let's talk business, just because me and Samantha aren't enemies anymore doesn't mean I don't want to beat her, so we have to train hard to kick their butts in the tournament, as everyone knows we have our female champion, right Miss Silva?
Bianca: Yes sensei.
Tory: Great, now we need a male champion, someone who can beat Victor Carter and Hawk Jr.
Julia: New Meat, I think it's up to you.
Bill: I've been in this dojo for a while, how long will I keep this nickname?
Tory: Look, if I were you I wouldn't complain, I knew a guy whose nickname was Assface, so he complained and got a new nickname that was (she says Mitch's nickname in Bill's ear)...
Bill: Wow, I'll never complain about 'New Meat' again, but do you really think I'm Cobra Kai's best hope on defeating Victor Carter?
Tory: No, but you're the best we have, so you'll have to do.
Suddenly Jacob appears at the dojo.
Jacob: Sensei, I want another chance.
Kenny: Great, we couldn't win with that guy.
Piper: Shut up Kenny, it's sensei Nichols who decides wether he can stay or not.
Tory: Exactly sensei Elswith, and why would I take him back after what his uncle did?
Jacob: My uncle betrayed me, he was using me like he was using you, he pretended he was on my side just so I could do what he wanted, please give me one more chance.
Tory: ...Okay, but like I said to your uncle, this is your last chance, if you cross the line again you're out, no matter how good you are, now let the training begin.
Later the training was over and the Cobra Kai students had left.
Bianca: I still can't believe sensei accepted you back.
Julia: I agree.
Jacob: Alright then, hit me, any of you, if at least one of you hit me I'm gone.
Julia: Challenge accepted.
She goes towards Jacob, trying to hit him several times, but he dodges all the attacks, he then kicks Julia in the leg which knocks her down.
Jacob: All right, who's next?
Other Cobra Kai students try to hit him, but he defeats them all without difficulty.
Jacob (to Bianca): What about you? will you just watch?
Bianca: Okay, now the Cobra is going to smoke.
She goes at Jacob and tries to hit him with several punches, but he dodges them all, Bianca then grabs him and tries to knock him to the ground, but he elbows her in the eye and breaks free, Bianca doesn't give up and tries to hit Jacob with a kick, he dodges the attack and tries to hit Bianca with a punch in the windpipe, but at that moment she grinned.
Bianca: Great, that's what I was waiting for.
She grabs Jacob's hand, knocks him to the ground and hits him with a punch.
Bianca won the fight, but she saw that Jacob was much stronger than before, this fight was close, she couldn't be left behind, she didn't want to risk that her position as the best student in the dojo was taken, much less wanted to lose the title to Kate Gray or Vivian Larusso, so she had an idea.
Jacob: Well, I promised so...
Bianca: No... you can stay, but only if you show me where you learned all this.
Jacob: Okay, if that's what you want.
The next day at Kyler's house:
Jacob: Uncle, we have a new student.
Seeing it was Bianca, Kyler and Jacob exchanged a victorious look, Tory's favorite student was now on their side, Kyler's plan was working.
Kyler: Of course you can join us, but if you do, you will have to submit to my method, forget everything Nichols taught you, only then will you achieve victory, are you willing to do this?
Bianca thought for a few seconds, but then she accepted.
Bianca: Yes sensei.
So Bianca started training with Jacob and Kyler, unbeknownst to Tory of course, one day, Victor and other Karate Kids were having fun when they saw some of the Cobra Kai students, among them was Jacob.
Jacob: What's up Victor? I hope you're ready for this year's tournament.
When seeing Jacob out of juvie for the first time, Victor felt something strange, his blood ran cold and he was totally paralyzed for a while, it was something unlike anything he had ever felt, he stayed like that for a few seconds until Hawk Jr. made him snap out of this.
Hawk Jr.: Hey dude, what happened?
Victor: What? I... it was nothing... I'm fine...
Yes, now Kyler is teaching the Quicksilver method to Tory's students, in the next chapter we will finally know more about some events from the past, how Terry Silver was defeated and why Tory reopened Cobra Kai, in addition Victor will open up to his senseis about what happened to him, for now I'll let you know that the karate war ended after another tournament in which Cobra Kai was defeated, now I ask you, who do you think were the champions of this tournament? and who do you think will be the champions of this one next tournament that will take place in the next chapters? and how will Tory react to knowing that Bianca is training with Kyler? Find out in the NEXT CHAPTER.
