A/N: Chapter Seven is ready. This one was interesting. As usual own nothing but my plot.

Chapter Seven:Missing Pieces

Hawk was warming up the class and with every punch, there was the same vision behind his eyes: Miguel falling, Keene running, Miguel in that hospital bed. He had gone to the hospital as often as he could before his class with Sensei Kreese, and today, today he'd seen something interesting or rather someone. Robby Keene had shown his face.

He probably had thought he was smart staying in the back, but Hawk was used to being vigilant, and Keene clearly was out of practice. Because he had seen him without being seen. A rookie mistake. It would have been easy to take him out right then and there, but then Keene had left and Hawk had followed and seen Sensei.

Not only was Sensei Lawrence a traitor for softening Miguel up to the point he showed mercy and ended up in that damn bed, but he was helping Cobra Kai's public enemy number one. But there had been the briefest moment as he had watched the exchange, and found himself missing. Missing the advice, advice he could surely use right now, even if it was as simple as to stop sniveling like a goddamn girl, but then that returned him back to those moments he would see between Miguel and Sensei, and his fist clenched at his side, and the sting behind his eyes would fade and that pansy ass Eli would disappear. This didn't help the mission. They had to finish the job. They were a Cobra down, but not out yet, and those Miyagi-Do bitches had to get what was coming to them. Keene had to get what was coming to him.

"Is there a problem?" Sensei demanded.

"No Sensei," Hawk replied.

"Get your head out of your ass, and warm them up." Sensei said.

"Sensei, I…" Hawk didn't understand. That was exactly what he had been doing.

He watched as Sensei paced the floor. "You have a problem with that?"

"No Sensei," He got back into position. "Ai!" He punched out

"Ayah!"

"Ai!"

"Ayah!"

"You 're all pathetic," Sensei said. "This vacation, your mourning period, it' s over. It ends today. Get your heads out of your asses, your tails out from between your goddamn legs. Fear does not exist here. They hurt one of your brothers. Are you going to take it? Are you going to show mercy?"

"NO SENSEI!"

"Then show me."

Hawk grabbed the points flag and the class began their matchups. This was just the practice round. It was nothing compared to what Miyagi-Do had coming.

"Wait, you're not serious?" Sam blinked. "Aisha,"

"Dead," Aisha replied, looking to Sam then to Robby.

"How?" Sam asked. She looked over noticing Robby wasn't saying anything. His expression was fixed in a frown.

"Don't know, I mean we listened to Kreese sure, but it was...uncomfortable…" Aisha could admit that now. It was almost like a shitty marriage where Sensei Lawrence and Sensei Kreese were concerned. "What he asked us, it wasn't right."

"He probably did something," Sam said. "Like contracts or something." With her dad's car dealership she'd seen him dealing with paperwork enough times. If Robby's dad hadn't been careful...

"And he's got enough of the Cobras listening to him," Aisha said. "I think I was the only one that left," There had been a few others sure but they weren't the best of the best. Kreese wouldn't miss them.

"This is…" Sam glanced over to Robby.

"Yeah, no kidding," Robby released a breath running a hand through his hair. "Damn…" Robby looked to the former Cobra then to Sam.

"I think we have to tell my dad," Sam said.

"And you think he's going to care?" Aisha asked. "Seriously? Doesn't he like hate Sensei Lawrence's guts still?"

Sam nodded, steel in her gaze. "He will," Sam remembered the conversation they'd had at the beginning of the Summer, before things...went completely insane. He would listen to her. It had worked before.

"I don't know…" Robby said. Mr. Larusso didn't seem like he wanted to fight anymore. And after what he'd done, after what happened at the school, he was ready to shut everything down. Robby highly doubted he would help him and his father or the Cobras in any way shape or form even if he didn't actually attack them, even if it was Sensei Kreese and not his father in the crosshairs.

"Trust me, it's going to work," Sam insisted.

"Before we do that," Robby said. "We need proof." In order for Mr. Larusso to not think this was his father, they needed to find out more, and they needed solid evidence.

"I can handle that," Aisha said. She was still on solid terms with a few of the Cobras, at least as far as she knew.

Robby shook his head. "No, we need to do this another way." It was their turn to fight back. It was him they were after, and it was their turn to lay a trap. He had to show himself. "Will you help me?" He had to do what he could to help his friends. He'd caused this mess, and he needed to get Miyagi Do back for them. Snap Mr. Larusso and his dad out of it, whatever that took.

"Robby…" Sam frowned. She didn't like the look on Robby's face right now. It reminded her too much of when he'd kicked Miguel.

"Will you or not?" He was doing this one way or another.

"I'm in," Aisha said.

Sam sighed. "Fine," If they were going to do something crazy like go right for Cobra Kai at least she could be there. "What's the plan?" She hoped he was at least willing to make a plan.

"Here's what we're going to do…"

A/N: Hi, wanted to provide some insight if interested, if not feel free to skip this. ;) So I wrote this one a bit before I had a firm grasp on Kreese or Hawk. It took a few unpublished writing exercises, beginning to rewatch season 2 some RPing and chatting with fanfiction friends and some sitting and getting in the headspace and thinking about psychological implications before I was able to reread this and really get into Hawk's mindset, but once I was there well, I hope I did him okay. That explains why I chose his point of view rather than Kreese's, it was a little easier than my original plan of having this filtered through Kreese.

Next well as a teaser, here's the chapter title. Brumation Termination. Make of that what you will.
