I DO NOT OWN BREAKING BAD OR COBRA KAI.
Outside Counselor Blatt's office. West Valley High School. Later that day.
Jesse Pinkman walked out of Blatt's office feeling on top of the world. Naturally, the counselor had given him and Miguel a shit ton of...shit, for having stood up to Kyler and his butt buddies. They had both received what she called "rehabilitative, not punitive", Saturday detention. Jesse honestly didn't mind since it at least gave him something to do on Saturday morning besides eating Cheetos and masterbating.
Even worse was that, Blatt the bitch had also called Jesse's parents to let them know exactly what their son had done that day. Luckily for Jesse, his brother had been let out of school early that day and picked up the phone. Jake pretended to be Diane Pinkman on the other end, but the deception had set Jesse back about 50 bucks or so. It had eaten up the remaining birthday money he had gotten from his aunt Ginny; the only other member of the Pinkman family besides Jake who still gave a damn about young Jesse. As Jesse got out of Blatt's office, he saw Miguel and Aisha waiting for him.
"What happened?" Aisha asked anxiously.
"That bitch Blatt was trying to give me shit, told her to stick it up her ass." Jesse answered with a smirk.
"Did she call your parents?" Miguel inquired.
"She call yours?" Jesse asked in return.
"Yeah, but my ya-ya answered." Miguel answered with a grin. "Never seen her so proud, she won't talk."
"My bro got to the phone before the 'rents." Jesse added. "He'll cover for me, but it ain't going to be cheap, yo."
"Anyway, we were thinking that you should come with us to our dojo." Aisha said with a smile.
"Your dojo?" Jesse asked with intrigue.
"Aisha just joined Cobra Kai." Miguel said proudly.
"I thought your sensei was packing it in, yo?" Jesse asked in confusion.
"Nah, I got him to re open the dojo and now he's looking for new students." Miguel assured his friend.
"You missed it yesterday Jesse, I totally kicked Miguel's ass!" Aisha exclaimed, looking very proud of herself.
"More like cracked 3 of my ribs." Miguel clarified as he was still feeling sore from having Aisha use her body mass as a weapon.
"That does sound badass, yo. I'll give this Cobra Kai thing a shot." Jesse relented with a chuckle as he decided that it certainly couldn't hurt to learn some martial arts.
Cobra Kai Dojo, Reseda strip mall. Later that day.
As Jesse followed Miguel and Aisha into the Cobra Kai dojo and kicked off his shoes before stepping on the mat, he had to admit that the place did look pretty badass for being in a shitty ass strip mall in a dumpy ass neighborhood. The words STRIKE FIRST, STRIKE HARD, NO MERCY stuck out to the Pinkman boy like sore thumbs; which he honestly expected to get at some point during his quest to become a badass cobra.
"Finally, it's about time you 2 showed up!" A voice hollered from an office on the other side of the mat. As Sensei Johnny Lawrence emerged from said office, Jesse saw a dude whose eyes were no longer dulled by drink or defeat. This guy looked nothing like the disappointed loser who had dropped off a broken and bleeding Miguel at his mom's apartment. Sensei Lawrence looked tough, serious, and ready to kick a whole lot of ass.
"Sensei, you remember Jesse Pinkman, from Halloween?" Miguel asked gingerly.
"Yeah, Boromir who got his ass handed to him." Sensei Lawrence replied nonchalantly.
"Ok, first of all, I was Aragorn. I wouldn't be caught dead dressing up as fucking Boromir. Second, I got some payback today on that piece of shit Kyler." Jesse clarified as he tried not to flip the guy off for disrespecting his favorite movie series of all time.
"He really did Sensei, you should have seen him pound the piss out of Kyler." Miguel insisted with a grin.
"He even got that plastic blonde bitch Yasmine to shut her mouth!" Aisha exclaimed happily as seeing her main tormentor covered in Strawberry milk in front of the entire school was one of the happiest moments of her life.
"Is that so?" Johnny inquired as he motioned for Jesse to follow him over to the practice dummy.
"You want me to hit this shit, yo?" Jesse inquired.
"No, I want you to do the Cobra Strike." Lawrence explained. "The cobra strike is composed of two parts: the lunge which requires the use of the whole body and the bite, which is everything that happens after you make contact, all right? You don't stop here where knuckle hits the bone. You punch through the bone, like the guy you really want to hit is standing behind this asshole."
"So my punch needs to be strong enough to get through 2 dudes in a row?" Jesse asked as he stood in front of the dummy.
"That's right Pinkman." Sensei Lawrence replied as he pointed out all of the important spots to m hit. "Strike here, you bloody his nose. Strike here, you break his teeth. Strike here, you could severely damage his trachea. Obviously, that's only for extreme situations."
"Time to die, bitch!" Jesse exclaimed as he started laying into the dummy for all he was worth. He struck all 3 parts that Lawrence had commanded with brute force. After about 10 minutes of non stop strikes, Johnny pulled Jesse away.
"You're striking is sloppy Pinkman...but I will admit, you got potential if we can focus that aggression." Sensei Lawrence insisted as Jesse smiled at the compliment.
"Does this mean I'm in Cobra Kai, yo?" Jesse asked hopefully.
"Yeah, as long as you can pay the fees." Lawrence replied as a frustrated Jesse landed one more blow on the dummy.
