PREVIOUSLY: Samantha tells Tory about some events from her past that happened after the two last fought, she tells about how she always wanted to be a mother, but none of her children survived, so after a few years, she decided to go back to training karate because that was something she loved to do, but not with Daniel or Johnny but with Chozen, so she went to Okinawa and started an extreme training, from jumping on logs in a river to fighting without using her eyes, despite the difficulties she didn't give up, she kept training and got better and better, as a final challenge in her training, Samantha had to face Chozen in a fight, the fight starts and both fighters are pushed to the limit, but in the end, Samantha is the winner and her training is complete , she also tells Tory about Kate and Tory says that she should tell the girl how she feels, because she did the same thing with Victor and it made everything better, Samantha accepts her great rival's advice and thanks her by teaching her pressure points technique, Tory is honored to learn this technique, especially considering that it was Samantha who taught her, the two then go back to their rooms and go to sleep, as tomorrow would be a big day.


After that night, Samantha and Tory went to sleep, deep down they were becoming friends, they just didn't want to admit it, the next day they split into three groups, these groups were led by Samantha, Chozen and Nariyoshi, after all they knew all the secrets of Miyagi-Do, something no one else knew.

Nariyoshi: Both reaction and movement speed are very important, that's why it's so hard to hit Miyagi-Do masters, this training will help you to increase your speed.

He starts jumping on the logs that pass by the river.

Hawk, Demetri, Hawk Jr, Laura and a few others try to do the same thing, but they all have a hard time.

Hawk: Look, I don't know about you, but I would like to see Johnny in this training.

Meanwhile:

Samantha: Many times our opponents will try to hit our eyes, but what they don't know is that it's possible to fight without our eyes, watch.

Samantha is blindfolded and asks them to attack her, everyone tries to attack, but no one can hit her.

Samantha: The secret is to use all your senses, don't just trust what you see, let's see what you can do.

She divides the group into pairs, where one is blindfolded and tries to defend himself from his opponent's attacks.

In one of the pairs were Vivian and Bianca, Bianca tried to attack Vivian, but Vivian blocked the attack and counterattacked.

Samantha: Great job Vivian! you understood perfectly.

Bianca: If she can do that, so can I, give me that blindfold.

Bianca puts on the blindfold and Vivian tries to hit her, Bianca tries to block the attack, but to no avail, Vivian knocks her down.

Vivian (extending her hand to her): Are you okay?

Bianca says nothing and leaves there in anger, Tory tries to talk to her, but they soon realize that Hawk Jr. I was going to the same place as her.

Later, Samantha and Miguel go to talk to Kate.

Samantha: Hi Kate... you did very well in training today, despite Julia trying to trick you by walking in circles around you you managed to hit her, that was amazing for your first day.

Miguel: Yeah, besides Chozen said you were also great at the precision training, well, it doesn't surprise me since you already know the pressure point technique.

Kate: Yeah, that's a really cool technique.

Samantha: You haven't seen anything yet, in a few days we'll show you the true power of Miyagi Do karate, by the way, I'm sorry for what they did to your mother...

Kate: Yeah... I'm really sad about that, but make no mistake, I don't want to fight these guys to get revenge for what they did to her, I want to fight them for the parents of my friends they kidnapped and mostly so that the same doesn't happen to other innocent people, despite that it's still a little scary to think that my mom won't be with me anymore and I'll probably have to go to an orphanage to be adopted by strangers.

Miguel: Speaking of which, Samantha wanted to ask you something, right Samantha?

Samantha: Yeah, I...we were thinking about...please don't get us wrong but Miguel and I were thinking about adopting you.

Kate was shocked for a while, her sensei wanted to become her mother all of a sudden, but soon she realized that this would be the best thing for her, I mean, after all that was over she would probably end up in an orphanage where she would possibly of being adopted by strangers, plus she loved Samantha and Miguel, they've done a lot for her since they met her, to be honest, even more than her biological mother.

Samantha: I want you to know that we will only do this if it's okay with you.

Kate: Are you kidding? that would be great.

Miguel: Really?

Kate: Of course, I couldn't ask for a better family, but I only ask for one thing, I hope that doesn't change anything, I mean even with you guys becoming my parents I don't want you to stop being my senseis, I don't know if you understand what I mean.

Miguel understood perfectly what she meant, it was the same thing he wanted when he found out that Johnny and his mother were dating, he wanted Johnny not to act different with him just because he was dating his mother, Johnny took a long time to understand that and all of us know what happened then, but Miguel and Samantha wouldn't make that mistake.

Miguel: You have our word, we will always be your senseis.

Samantha: And we'll always be there for you.

Even though they weren't officially her parents yet, Kate hugged Samantha and Miguel, so it was decided, once this was all over, Miguel and Samantha would adopt Kate and finally have the daughter they always wanted.

At that same moment, Bianca was sitting at the entrance of the dojo and she didn't look very happy, Hawk Jr. went to her to see what was going on.

Hawk Jr.: What's the matter?

Bianca: I can't believe this is the third time I've lost to Larusso.

Hawk Jr.: Are you kidding me? You're like this just because you lost a fight?

Bianca: It's not just the fact that I lost to her, you know, it all started long before I met you, it was in my first tournament, I had already trained at Cobra Kai for a few months and was the best student in the dojo... sensei Nichols's words not mine, so we went to the tournament, at the time we weren't so good, we scored few points in the skills competition and we didn't even reach the quarterfinals of the male tournament, but not me, I participated in the female tournament and I got to the final.

Hawk Jr.: What happened then?

Bianca: In the final I faced a girl named Veronica, from All-Star Karate, Veronica was a fourth degree black belt, much better than me at that time, but I didn't make it easy for her, it was a very close fight but she won by 3-2, so I made a promise, I swore I would never lose a fight again, but what happened? I had to cheat to beat Kate in the tournament, then I lost to her twice and I lost THREE times to Larusso, that makes me feel... powerless.

Hawk Jr.: Stop talking nonsense, you lost three times to Vivian, so what? that doesn't make you a worst fighter, you can beat her next time.

Bianca: It's very easy for you to say.

Hawk Jr.: You think so? well let me tell you that i only lost one fight so far, yes it was the semifinal of the tournament against victor and make no mistake, i'm not happy about losing to him, i hate losing too but, this is something that will happen to everyone, after all if there are winners there must be losers, it's balance.

Bianca couldn't understand why Hawk Jr. he was trying to help her, after all she'd done, but despite that she felt a little better.

Bianca: I still don't understand something, why do you care so much about me? I mean, less than a week ago I was following Kyler's orders and trying to destroy you all, why do you want to help me so badly?

Hawk Jr.: So you still don't understand? In that case I will explain to you.

Hawk Jr. goes towards Bianca and kisses her, Bianca was confused for a while but soon she kissed him back.

Hawk Jr.: So, are you feeling better?

Bianca: Better than ever, I'll go back to training and get even stronger and if I lose, I'll just get up and fight again.

Hawk Jr.: That's the spirit!

The two return and Bianca says she is willing to continue training, they train for a few days, Samantha and the other senseis even teach them to fight with weapons, just as she had already taught Kate and Vivian, after a few days, Nariyoshi goes to Samantha.

Nariyoshi: Samantha-San, I'd like to say a few things to you.

Samantha: Sure, what do you want?

Nariyoshi: You know, I was jealous when Chozen chose you as the next guardian of Miyagi-Do's secrets, but now I see that he was right, there is no one better than you for this role.

Samantha: It's an honor for me to hear that, thank you, by the way, I think tomorrow we can start teaching them those techniques.

Nariyoshi: Hai, besides I'm surprised to see the reason you fight, you're not fighting for revenge, but to protect everyone who is important to you, that's how a true Miyagi-Do should act, can't say the same about me though...

Samantha: What are you talking about?

Nariyoshi: You know... just before I became sensei in Chozen's dojo, I was married and my life was good, but my wife was the type who liked to walk in the forest, one day she went to the forest but never came back, after Chozen told me about the Miyagi Fist, I believe they have something to do with her disappearance and if I find out they had something to do with it... I can make this fight personal and do something that I might regret, so... I don't know if I should accompany you when you go to face them.

Samantha: I understand, you care about your family, I also came here because they said they would attack my family, I couldn't allow that to happen, but don't worry, if we find out anything about your wife we'll tell you everything.

The two masters say goodbye respectfully and the next day they were training.

Miguel: Robby, how about a friendly fight? for the old days' sake?

Robby: Sure, I accept the challenge.

Meanwhile, Phill and Bill were surrounding Julia, but she dodged Bill, grabbed him from behind, knocked him to the ground, took the staff out of his hand and used it to face Phill.

Tory: Well done Miller, that's how it's done.

Suddenly Samantha and the others arrived.

Samantha: Good morning everyone, today we're going to learn a little about Miyagi-Do's secret techniques, techniques like... this (she slams the ground and freezes the ground around her).

Everyone is surprised to see what she has done.

Demetri: Are they karate masters or wizards?

Nariyoshi: There are Miyagi-Do karate techniques whose origin is unknown, but these techniques are based on elements of nature, fire and ice.

Chozen: Fire is more useful for direct attacks, while ice focuses more on defense and counterattack.

Samantha: Controlling both elemental techniques takes months if not years, which is why we will divide you into two groups and teach fire techniques to one group and ice techniques to the other.

Then they split into groups, in the ice group there were Robby, Demetri, Kate, Hawk Jr, Vivian, Richard and a few others, while in the fire group there were Miguel, Tory, Hawk, Victor, Bianca, Laura and a few others.

So they went to train, the ice group trained on top of an icy peak while the fire group trained near a volcano (it doesn't make sense but... it doesn't have to).

After a few days of training they manage to control the elemental techniques, one day Bianca and Hawk Jr. were talking when suddenly they heard a noise in the bushes.

Hawk Jr.: Hey, what's that over there?

They look behind the bushes and find a robot approximately 2 meters tall.

Hawk Jr.: Look, it's a robot, cool... (the robot tries to hit him with a punch but he dodges it) too bad it's not good.

Bianca: Could this be Miyagi Fist's thing? never mind, we have to get rid of him.

The robot tries to attack them, but Bianca dodges the attack, Hawk Jr. then jumps and hits the robot with a kick to the face, Bianca hits the robot with several punches until it pushes her away, the robot then tries to attack Hawk Jr. but he blocks all attacks and hits the robot with an ice kick, Bianca then goes towards the robot and hits him with a flaming punch, but then the robot hits her in the eye, luckily she knew how to fight without eyes, Hawk Jr. and Bianca then hit the robot in the head with kicks which knocks it down.

When the robot is on the ground, Bianca steps on its head until it crushes it, then the robot starts making some noises.

Bianca: What is that?

Hawk Jr.: I don't know, maybe it's an encrypted message, maybe my father can decipher it, let's talk to him.

Meanwhile, Miguel and Robby were preparing for a friendly fight when suddenly they heard a voice.

?: Where is Miyagi-Do master?

Miguel: Are you from Miyagi Fist?

?: I don't owe you satisfaction, but if you want to know, yes I am, now answer what I asked, unless you want to be destroyed along with Miyagi-Do.

Suddenly several masked guys appear along with the one who was talking.

Robby: Miguel, I think our fight will have to wait.

Several masked men attack, but Robby and Miguel use that technique used in the mall fight and easily overcome their opponents, so their leader attacks, but Miguel sends him flying with a flaming punch, he then tries to use a staff, but Robby takes the staff out of his hands and hits him with an ice kick.

Masked man: No... Miyagi Fist can't lose to these insignificant ones.

Suddenly Samantha and Tory appear.

Samantha: What's going on here?

Tory: Who is this clown?

Masked man (to Samantha): I'm just a messenger, I came to deliver a message from my master, he said 'Pay attention Miyagi-Do master, you have until tomorrow night to come to our hideout for us to settle what happened 300 years ago, if you don't show up you can say goodbye to your family and the parents of your students'.

Sometime later, Samantha told Chozen and the others what the Miyagi Fist guy said, only just before she said anything, Hawk Jr. and Bianca arrive with the body of the robot they defeated earlier.

Hawk Jr.: Dad, Uncle Demetri, we found this robot today and it tried to attack us, when we defeated it it started making some noises, I think it's an encrypted message, can you decipher it?

Hawk: We'll see what we can do.

They examine the robot for a while and take out their cell phones to try to decipher the message.

Demetri: I discovered something, it's an... S.

Hawk: The next letter is an I.

Samantha: Could it be...

Demetri: Then there is an L.

Tory: It can't be.

Hawk: The next letter is a V.

Robby: Look, things are bad enough with just Miyagi Fist, please don't say the next letters are E and R.

Demetri and Hawk decipher the rest of the message and what our heroes feared most happened.

Miguel: Silver... like Terry Silver?

Samantha: That doesn't make sense, even when we met him he was about 75 years old, nowadays he would be 105, he should be dead or at least in an nursing room or something like that.

Tory: In that case we'll have to kick him back to the nursing room he came from.

Hawk: But if he's alive, could Silver and Miyagi Fist be working together?

Robby: Does anyone happen to know where Miyagi Fist is hiding?

Chozen: As far as I know they were exiled to a remote part of the forest, but it wouldn't be a good idea to attack them all together, it would leave the village unprotected.

Samantha: I already thought of that, Nariyoshi, you and your students stay here and defend the village, they want a fight? let's keep one waiting for them, Chozen, can you help them?

Chozen: Hai, as long as Chozen has strength, Chozen will fight.

Samantha: Great, Miguel, Robby, Tory, Hawk and Demetri, you come with me, we'll go to the hideout of the Miyagi Fist and Silver if he's with them.

Victor: We're going with you.

Richard: Dude, are you crazy?

Samantha: No, it's too dangerous, please leave it to us, stay here and help Nariyoshi and the others.

Tory: Do what she says.

The students reluctantly agree, but a few minutes after Samantha and the others left for the forest, Kate and Bianca looked at each other.

Kate: I had an idea.

Bianca: For the first time ever, I think we agree on one thing.


Yes, I think it's pretty obvious that the students won't obey their sensei, but now the question is, how did Silver survive for so long? Is he working with Miyagi Fist to finally get revenge on those who destroyed him 30 years ago? In the next chapter we will know a little more about these new villains and we will also know what is happening in the Valley while Samantha and the others are in Okinawa, someone will have to protect everyone, just like Mr. Miyagi prophesied, what do you think will happen? Find out IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.

By the way I got the idea of the fire and ice techniques from the game Cobra Kai the Karate Kid Saga Continues, I know they don't make any sense, but... well, the pressure points don't make any sense either so I guess it's alright.
