Sitting within the Library Anthony and his friends were sitting and joking around while they should've been studying "Studying"
They had a free period and figured going to the Library was the best way to spend their time which now lead them to playing the no flinch game, It also lead to a little bit of bleeding
Diverging his eye for a second Anthony had seen Lia walk back and a book she was holding feel from her binder catching Anthony's eye
Immediately he got out of his seat and bent down to grab the book a smile soon put on both his and Lia's faces once he handed her the book back
"Beowulf ? you know spoiler alert, it's not even about a werewolf" Anthony said making Lia scoff as she took the book back
"Well now I don't even want it" she said making Anthony Laugh
"You know you should actually check out Animal Farm. Now that's a book that truly lives up to its name. Straight up it's just like….just animals on a farm"
Nodding her head with a laugh Lia had just caught the books within her hands before speaking
"You know what that reminds me of ? The guy who used to live next to our Elementary school" Lia said and Immediately Anthony caught on
"Oh ! Mr Landry, with the uh, Chicken coop"
"Yeah ! god That was so long ago"
Anthony shrugged
"Yeah we really haven't hung out since then"
"But it would be fun to do so, Do something as. You know it'd be nice to be friends like that again"
Immediately going silent at the use of the word Friends Anthony had just nodded his head quietly accepting the term used
"Yeah…..yeah friends" Anthony painfully said leaving Lia to smile as she bounced on her feet
"Well, let me know and we'll catch up later kay ?"
With a final silent head nod Lia left the conversation leaving Anthony to watch as she went from talking to him to going over to where Kenny was sitting alone at a table Immediately seeing her smile brighten on her face leaving Anthony to scowl as he just returned back to his Friends
"Dude you flinched ?"
"You always win this game, we need a new game"
"Will you idiots shut the fuck up" Anthony quietly growled and Zack looked over Anthony's shoulder to see Lia and Kenny talking making him scoff
"Looks like everyone's trying something new today" he said making the rest of Anthony's friends laugh but Anthony had mockingly laughed before flipping him the finger
"Yeah laugh it up" Anthony said before looking back at Kenny and Lia
"But don't worry, I got something for Ghost boy over there…."

Fresh out of the PE shower Kenny had wiped himself down with a towel before walking past Anthony and his friends ready to head to his gym locker to get his clothes
Putting on his own shirt Anthony still couldn't escape the hazing from his own friends
"So, how many points do you think new kid had on LaRusso Today ?" Zack asked Immediately making Anthony groan as Zack continued
"20 ? 30 ? probably ten steals not counting stealing his girl" he said making Anthony growl while his two other friends just laughed
"Alright dude, screw you actually" Anthony said leading to Zack just putting his hands up in defeat
"Easy man, just teasing you. Just busting some balls" he said
"What balls" another one of their friends said before all of them left whilst laughing leaving Anthony to just angrily slam his gym locker with a scowl before turning to Kenny
Seeing him preoccupied with searching for something inside his locker Anthony saw his clothes right there out in the open for the taking and he just knew this opportunity was to damn sweet to pass up
With a quick look around and a peek down the hall Anthony had quickly grabbed Kenny's clothes before running out of the gym locker room and Immediately Kenny noticed
"HEY !" he shouted before mindlessly running out of the locker room and straight into the halls but he had been so quick and anxious to get his clothes back he forgot about the heavy student body that populated the Hallway that started to laugh at him
Turing to his right he Immediately found Anthony pointing and laughing at him as his friends soon joined and soon enough every student that was in the hallway laughed at him as well causing Kenny to tremble in fear
Quickly turning around to run back into the Locker room Kenny slammed the door quickly as he tried to hide from the shame he was handed

Walking into the Living Room Carmen found Miguel practicing his Kata techniques
"Miggy, you've been at it since 6 a.m. you wanna throw an actual punch in there ?" Carmen said making Miguel smirk and scoff as she went to the bridge to get out some orange juice
"Mom this is real Karate, Tournaments just a month away and I gotta perfect these techniques. Sensei LaRusso said my body can only be as ready as my mind is"
Smiling Carmen poured the glass of juice
"And….you like having Mr LaRusso as your Sensei ? over Johnny" Carmen asked hesitation in her voice leaving Miguel to physically pause
Swallowing the fat lump within his throat Miguel took a deep breathe before responding
"Yeah….yeah, it's for the best. I already know offense and Mr LaRusso's teachings are for the better" Miguel said leaving Carmen to just nod her head in acceptance while Miguel avoided eye contact with his mother after giving her his answer
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
With raised eyebrows Carmen had went and opened the door to find Johnny on the other end
"Oh ? Johnny" Carmen said making Miguel's eyes go wide
"What a surprise…"
Seeing Miguel through the door was just as awkward for him as it was for Miguel and Carmen knew that as she just looked back at Miguel before looking at Johnny trying to put her best smile on her face
"Do you need anything Johnny ?" Carmen asked leaving Johnny to just pat the sides of his legs before sighing
"I actually came over to ask if you have any. I know it sounds weird. But I'm training the kids today and we're working on grip strength…."
With a small laugh Carmen nodded her head
"Yeah I do let me go check the bathroom" she said before trailing off down the hall leaving Miguel and Johnny alone
The awkward silence between them had only amplified 10 fold as they quickly glanced up at one another before trailing back down again trying to find the words to say to one another
This was truly the first time they've seen one another since they parted ways and honestly for Miguel it still felt awkward to call someone else his Sensei…
"LaRusso still got you practicing that cheap dancing or has he finally manned up and taught you how to really fight"
Letting out a closed eyed sigh Miguel shook his head in disappointment
"Sensei…."
"Oh come on Miguel" Johnny said breaking any sort of silence they had
"We both know you should be with me instead of him. What does he have to teach you that I haven't or can't already do ?"
Making a face directed towards him Miguel took that offensively
"Uh, I don't know how about controlling my anger ? finding Balance with my emotions, his style of defense ?"
"Right so when the Tournament comes your just gonna dance around Cobra Kai see where that gets you"
"I never wanted to leave you in the first place, Sensei !" Miguel said louder than he wanted to but Johnny was making it really hard to control his emotions
Coming out from the bathroom Carmen was ready to say something regarding the Baby Powder but she soon noticed she walked into the middle of their argument
"Weren't you the one who told me we're stronger united ? Now you're mad I'm sticking to my words ?"
"No I'm mad because you're choosing Him over me, after everything I taught you after everything we've been through. The good, the bad, the really bad. We've always gotten through these things together and the one time I really needed you. You abandoned me for some pussy Karate style"
"What about me ?! Sensei I needed you" Miguel admitted truthfully leaving Johnny taken aback
"But instead of acting like a grown man and using some of Mr LaRusso's teachings to get past your differences you stayed the same. You thought with your fist instead of your mind and now I-I don't even know if I'm gonna be able to beat Robby in the tournament because I won't have you by my side"
Stepping between the two before they could say anymore to each other that might stain their relationship Carmen put a soft hand on both Johnny and Miguel's chest breaking them apart from one another as she pushed them opposite ways
"Miggy, go to my room and get the baby power it's under nightstand" Carmen said leaving Miguel to just glare and look at Johnny furthermore before walking away into Carmen's room
With Miguel gone Carmen looked at Johnny who immediately sighed putting a hand over his mouth in disbelief
He and Miguel have never fought before like that, never truly disagreed with opposite viewpoints and quite frankly Johnny hated it
Understanding he was just as uncomfortable as she was Carmen let out a small sigh before taking Johnny's hands
"I-I think we should tell him tonight" she said with pleading eyes and Johnny was in full agreement
"With everything going on, Him choosing LaRusso and me taking Sam. I….I don't want there to be any bad blood between us, I don't want him to find out knowing we kept in from him and make him hate me more than her already does"
"He doesn't hate you" Carmen said washing those thoughts out of his head instantly
"He just has a lot on his mind you both do. Maybe telling him tonight will clear out any resentment between you too"
Nodding his head Johnny was glad he had such a smart woman like Carmen in his life
"We'll take him to his favorite restaurant. What is it ?"
With a soft smile Carmen thought for a second
"He likes Applebee's" Carmen told him but Johnny had Immediately cringed and shook his head
"Yeahhhhhh, that's not gonna work I had a little incident there kinda banned for life, Actually I think they have a restraining order against me" Johnny admitted leaving Carmen heavy confused and actually quite intrigued
"What happened ?"
"Ok so you know how they have that loaded potato soup ?" Johnny began making Carmen nod her head
"Yeah–"
"Sensei ?"
Coming out from Carmen's room with the baby powder bottle in one hand Carmen and Johnny Immediately turned their heads with shocked expressions to find Miguel holding his black headbang in the other
Miguel's surprised reaction hadn't stopped there as he hastily saw the way they were holding hands and even more saw as they let go only making his jaw tighten more leaving Carmen and Johnny tongue twisted while Miguel was suddenly demanding answers
"You two wanna tell me something ?" Miguel said holding the headband up high and Johnny and Carmen just looked at each other before sighing

Looking through Lia's Instagram Anthony couldn't stop himself from smiling as he continued to search her feed
"Hey Anthony ? I found something in your room and you need to explain right now"
Hearing Daniel's voice start to approach him Anthony had quickly put his Ipad away before soon looking at his Dad holding up Kenny's Cobra Kai sweatshirt
"Shit…." Anthony mumbled making Daniel sigh
"I'm already not in the mood with your sister fighting for Johnny so if this is you trying to seem cool or rebel against me or something–"
"No no no, It's not mine Dad Promise. It's uh…I'm just holding it for a friend"
Daniel just gave him a look knowing he was straight up lying and Anthony didn't even try to keep it up Immediately slumping over and sighing
"Ok, look there's this kid in school. And he's in Cobra Kai….and he's been giving me a hard time recently-"
"Wait, giving you a hard time ? are-are you ok ? What did he do to you ?"
Quickly seeing the sudden panic on his Dad's face Anthony tried to calm him down
"No Dad, it's fine. It's nothing just some messing around that's all, Nothing more than name calling and stuff it's not big deal"
Shaking his head Daniel took a seat next to Anthony as he placed the Cobra Kai sweatshirt on the table in front of them
"Anthony you don't need to sugarcoat it ok, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I know what it feels like. And I promise you son I'm not gonna let Cobra Kai hurt you-"
"Dad it's not the big of a deal I promise" Anthony said trying to bring his Father reassurance but Daniel didn't take
"No, no, I thought there might end up being a problem like this….It was only a matter of time before Cobra Kai spread to a younger youth I should've…." Pausing with his own monologue Daniel had clasped his hands together before look at Anthony with a stern look
"You're not a little kid anymore, It's time" Daniel said with a proud smile but Anthony was still left confused
"Time ?...time for what ?" he asked but Daniel had only smiled at his son

Looking around the Cobra Kai Dojo with a small sigh Robby looked at all the changes that had been made in such a short time…
Going from wearing training Gi's to sponsored sports clothing, The new high tech equipment and training machines littered around the Dojo. More importantly the new starting to become overwhelming amount of students they had now
Once just a handful of them now it felt like 3 different combined classes in one. Like looked like a small militia and it only made Robby think back on Daniel's words about Silver
Robby didn't come here to make an army. He came here to end this Karate War. Kreese told him if he won the Tournament all this fighting would stop….But by the way Silver was running things, It didn't seem like he wanted to stop
The sounds of Kenny furiously punching the new machine snapped Robby back to reality as with a quick headshake Robby quickly remembered the conversation they were having
"So…they stole all your clothes ?"
Punching the dummy once more Kenny shook his head with a furious scowl on his face
"Man, I'm done taking their crap" Kenny growled
"It's everyday with them 24/7 non stop. I'm ready to use my training !" He said before punching the dummy again
"And what do you think you're gonna do ?" Robby said trying to keep Kenny cool headed
"I'll do what you do. Strike so hard they can't get up. Like what you did at the Drive in or with Tory's Ex"
Giving the Dummy a 3 punches Kenny knocked it down before looking at Robby as Silver and Kreese came in
"No mercy" Kenny said darkly before lining up but Robby was quick to grab his arm and turn up around
"I got kicked out of school and landed in Juvie because I stuck back. Kenny you gotta be smarter than me and your Brother"
"Well I gotta do something" Kenny growled before forcing himself free of Robby's grip so that he could line up and all Robby could do was think about…..a lot before lining up as well
"Today we have a very important lesson, don't we, Sensei Silver ?"
"Yes we do" Silver said before looking at Robby and Tory
"Weakness"
"Your opponent's weakness must be exploited whenever possible"
"At the Tournament, You'll have to recognize that weakness. And make no mistake we all have one"
"Sensei Kreese doesn't" Tory said but Silver didn't take her serious
"Of course he does. We all do" Silver said causing Kreese to just look at him in for a second before looking back at the students
"Today your goal is to find your opponent's weakness and attack it, No points. You Hit the mat, you lose. Got it ?"
Everyone nodded their heads much to Silver's delight
"Good everyone prepare for Combat"
As the students got ready Kreese turned to Silver once more ready to make this more interesting
"Care to make this Interesting ?"
Immediately Silver smiled
"What do you have in mind ?"
Looking at the vast sea of students they had Kreese tilted his head
"Well, we each choose a fighter. Six pack of brews to the winner"
Giving it a thought Silver nodded his head with a smiler
"I like it. May the best Sensei win" he said before tapping Kreese on his shoulder and walking away but that didn't stop Kreese from turning back to look at him as his eyebrows only furrowed

"So here's the thing-"
"We wanted to tell you-"
Cutting each other off Johnny and Carmen awkwardly smiled and laughed at one another only making this more weird for Miguel as he just rubbed his hands together
"You go" Johnny said but Carmen just shook her head
"No, no you go" she reassured leaving Johnny to nod his head before taking a deep breath and looking at Miguel
"Someone should go" Miguel said in annoyed tone already not making this easy for Johnny to get out
"Your mom and I are hooking up" Johnny said abruptly making Carmen just look at him blankly so that he could fix his answer
"Not just hooking up, sorry" He said making Miguel roll his eyes
"We're in love ?" Johnny said but Carmen's reaction was even worse making Johnny start to panic
"Friends with benefits ?"
"Oh my god.." Miguel groaned
"JOHNNY !"
Now fully panicking Johnny was trying to find the right words to say
"Uh…you see, when two people…..when two people are attracted to each other-"
"Just say you guys are dating" Miguel quickly said leaving Johnny to slump his shoulders
"Thank god, yes we're dating"
Carmen too nodded her head
"Yes, yes we are dating"
Even though he got what he wanted Miguel still groaned palming his hands on his face before running a hand through his hair
"We didn't mean for you to find out like this" Carmen said trying to calm her Son's nerves
"No" Johnny added
"With everything going on between us, The Tournament. Training, I….I didn't want to be another distraction to you" Johnny admitted sadly making Carmen look at him sorrowfully
"We were waiting for the right time and place, we were gonna take you to a nice restaurant, break the news to you somewhere nice a Chili's or a Marie Callender's, maybe even a Red Lobster… Anyone else Hungry ?
Seeing the disdain on Miguel's face Carmen knew her soon was feeling off
"Miggy ? Are you ok ?"
Looking back and forth Between Johnny and Carmen Miguel took a deep breath before letting out a heavy series of breath from his nose
"I-I….I don't know how to feel" Miguel admitted leaving his two parental figures to nod their heads
"Surprised ?...not surprised ?..."
Clasping his hands together Miguel sighed again as he scratched the back of his trying to find the right words to say
"I don't resent this ok, Sensei….you're a good guy. And whatever's going on between us is Karate Issues. Not personal Issues" Miguel admitted leaving Johnny to smile softly before Miguel looked at his mom
"As long as you're happy I'm happy" Miguel said leaving Carmen to smile as she took Johnny's hand
"I am happy"
"We're happy" Johnny added and Miguel just nodded his head slowly in acceptance as the awkward silence had returned
Letting out a final sigh Miguel had just rubbed his hands together awkwardly as he tried to tie in some words
"Look I gotta get to training at Miyagi-Do and Sensei I'm sure you have to get to training the Eagle Fang's so….."
"Right right right" Carmen said getting up from her seat as Miguel had gotten up from his so that he could grab his bag
Johnny to got up grabbing Miguel's water bottle so that he could hand it to him with a small smile
"Here don't forget this, never know how hard LaRusso might work you huh" he said trying to get a laugh or smile out of Miguel but the teenager just grabbed the bottle with no emotion before heading out the door
Seeing the ordeal unfold Carmen sighed her purse in her hand
"Just give it time, this is still new and heavy on him" Carmen reassured and Johnny just nodded his head before Carmen gave him a quick peck on the lips so that she can soon leave
Staying within the apartment Johnny had just tapped the sides of his pants before looking down at his blackhead band with a sigh
When did this all become so difficult ?

Holding two Sai in his hand Demetri just held a disturbed look on his face
"You do realize by giving me these you've increased my chances of death by 10 fold right" Demetri stated making Eli laugh as he grabbed the weapons from his hand
Twirling the dagger within his hand Demetri was left completely dumbfounded at how good Eli was at holstering the weapon within his hand
"Ok Raphael ?" Demetri said making Eli laugh as he just held the weapon still
"Since when could you do that ?!"
Looking at the Dagger Eli shrugged his shoulders
"A lot of Late night Karate Tutoring with Sam" Eli admitted as he pulled up his Gi Sleeve revealing the cuts and nicks he had on his arm
Cringing at the marks on his arm Demetri's expression soon changed when he saw the Cobra Tattoo on Eli's arm
"You ever gonna fix that ?" Demetri asked with a raised eyebrow as he pointed at his arm Tattoo and Eli had just rolled down his sleeve before diverting his eyes
"I can't" he admitted, Demetri was left confused
"Of course you can ? There many ways to remove Tattoos ? here I'll give you my Mom's doctor-"
"No Demetri" Hawk sighed
"That's not what I mean…..I mean I can't get rid of it. It holds to much Value"
Still left on the fence by what His best friend was saying Demetri only scoffed
"Right a Tattoo you got with Cersei Lannister during your villain phase holds to much emotional baggage to get rid of" Demetri said sarcastically making Eli roll his eyes while Demetri continued
"I don't get it, she broke your heart, slapped you in the face, threatened to beat you up LITERALLY SET YOU UP SO THAT YOU COULD GET YOUR HAIR CUT OFF ! and you're still in love with her. You do know you're in the TEXTBOOK definition of a Toxic Relationship right ?" Demetri exclaimed making Hawk shrug
"So what D ! That's not her. It's Cobra Kai. It's Kreese and Silver's influence. You don't know her like I do, ok you didn't see the plead in her eyes when Cobra Kai held me down"
Eli tried to explain but Demetri wasn't trying to hear any of it
"Look, I'm glad you're back. Really I am. And I know things around here are shaky now that Sam's fighting for Eagle Fang and she left you me and Miguel the keys to Miyagi-Do. Which is why I'm telling you right now You need to let Tory go Eli" Demetri said making Eli sigh
"I know you and Sam have your deal but sometimes you gonna call a thing a thing. Robby and Tory are two completely different people and some people just don't want to be saved"
"Right yeah that's fair Robby gets to be Jon Snow while Tory is Cersei Lannister. So who's Sam Daenerys Targaryen ? You do know Jon Snow kills her in the final season right ?"
"WE BOTH AGREED THE FINAL SEASON ISN'T CANON !"
Letting out a scoff Eli walked away finishing the conversation but Demetri wasn't done as he just chased after him
Breaking the plethora of boards in front of him Chris started to hype himself up leaving Daniel to watch as all his students were slowly learning the ropes off the skills portion and beside him was Anthony he just looked at everything in Awe
"Okay, this is pretty cool" Anthony had to admit as he rubbed his hands making Daniel smile
"I thought you'd like it"
Looking around the Dojo Anthony's smile faded a little when he noticed Sam wasn't here
"Sam's still training with Dipshit isn't she"
"Easy Anthony" Daniel warned trying to calm his son
"Even though I hate her decision more than anyone….." Daniel took a deep breathe
"It's her choice, and I have to respect that. Plus I know Johnny's gonna protect her. So we gotta work with what we got which what we have isn't bad"
Shrugging his shoulders Anthony looked over to see Hawk teaching Demetri how to use the Kama weapons bringing back his smile
"Hey isn't that the guy with the Mohawk ? what happened ?"
Looking over at Eli Daniel chuckled
"Just a change of course that's all, Why do you ask wanna go meet him ?"
"Uh yeah ! dude seems to be the weapons master of this place. I wonder if he can show me how to use a sword !"
Stepping down off the platform they stood upon Anthony was ready to take the first few steps but Daniel had quickly stopped him grabbing him by his shoulders with a small laugh
"Easy there Anthony, your not ready for this stuff yet" Daniel said much to Anthony's dislike as it was shown on his face
"What ?"
Beginning their walk through the Dojo Daniel began speaking leaving Anthony just to listen
"You know when Mr Miyagi first showed me this place, I was like you. I didn't know what to make of it at all. Definitely didn't appreciate it. I just knew I needed help defending myself. But I'm not not gonna lie to you ANthony learning Karate isn't easy" Daniel stated leaving Anthony's face to drop somewhat
"But if you want you can think of it like a video game. It might not be as exciting at level one when you're learning all the controls. But the more you play, the more skills you get and before you know it. Yor a high ranking level and your hooked"
Nodding his head with a smile Anthony understood his Dad's analogy as Daniel tapped Anthony on his shoulder
"Plus, I'll give you some of the cheat codes along the way" he said and that had seem to do it for Anthony as soon enough Daniel led him out to the parking lot of cars out front
"Hey, what's the WiFi here ?" Anthony asked not even stepping two steps down the stone slabs yet before Daniel looked back at him
"What ? there is no WiFi ? put that thing away" he said making Anthony sigh before pocketing his phone
"There are no distractions at Miyagi-Do. Just you, your heart and your mind so getting ready to enter a world so much more exhilarating than anything you will ever see on that phone" Daniel stated as he looked back at Anthony with a smile
"Are you ready to begin this journey ?"
Giving it some thought Anthony figured this couldn't be too bad right ?
"Yeah….yeah Dad why not. Let's give it a shot" Anthony said with a small smile, a small smile that soon dropped once he saw the parked cars all that had bird poop on them making him groan
"My god…."
"As you can see, I forgot to put the covers on when I left last night"
"It's like a Kackson Pollock painting…."
"Anthony, get ready for your first Miyagi-Do Lesson" he said as Anthony sighed once he put it together
"Today we call it "soap on, crap off. Now don't worry I'll show you exactly how to do it. Then you're gonna clean the cars while I help Mom at the dealership, now how does that sound" Daniel said looking at Anthony with eager while he looked back at his father with concern
"It sounds like I understand why Sam went to Johnny" Anthony said making Daniel sarcastically laugh
"Yeah ok, I'll get the bucket" he said soon leaving Anthony in the car lot to just sigh and shake his head wondering what did he just get himself into

Sitting around the Mat Silver and Kreese looked at one another both deeming smirks on their faces as their little bet had commenced starting with Silver to call his first fighter
"Elswith" Silver said making Piper smile as she perked up from her spot on the mat practically skipping to Silver
Nodding his head in acceptance Kreese made his choice
"Nichols"
With her own grin Tory got up and headed to Kreese making Silver chuckle
"Playing your trump card already John"
"I didn't see you pick her" Kreese snarkly responded back making Silver laugh again before Kreese had looked at Tory
"You've seen her fight before. What's her weakness ?"
"Her left" Tory smirked "she telegraphs her kicks"
"Than you know what to do this time" Kreese said and Tory just nodded and smiled before turning to the mat to face Piper
Piper had eagerly gotten into her fighting position but Tory figured she wasn't even worth the time only snorting as she stayed stood with clenched fist
Catching Tory off guard even though she didn't show it Piper had done a cartwheel to approach Tory putting her gymnastics to work
When Piper tried to strike Her, Tory Immediately kicked her leg making her back up in reaction as she did a backhand spring to space herself
"You gonna dance around or are you gonna throw something" Tory blankly said making Piper chuckle
"Why not both"
Trying to hit Tory with a high Kick she quickly ducked it leaving Piper to grab her forcing them into a lock
Blocking Pipers attempted kick Tory put her leg behind Pipers before flipping her down onto the mat
Kreese had chuckled knowing it would be to easy while Silver ust scowled
With a heavy sigh Piper looked up at Tory, her defeated face soon changing into a tempting smile which Tory very much noticed
"We should do that again sometime" Piper said making Tory scoff
"Taken Sweetheart" Tory coldly responded before taking her spot back on the mat
"Good one, Sensei Kreese. Alright, who's next !"

Opening the door to the old Factory the now second girl of Eagle Fang had entered right in the middle of Johnny's monologue
"Alright listen up nerds, Today's gonna be a world of pain" he said at his lined up students but soon stopped once he saw the new girl walk in
"Everyone we have a new member joining us today, WIth addition to Ms LaRusso for the girls Entry we also have a new female fighter. Devon Lee"
Everyone had looked Devon who just gave a small smile and wave
"Hi. My pronouns are she/her" Devon stated but Johnny just looked at her weird
"The only pronouns we accept in this dojo are Sensei and Student !"
Giving Johnny a confused look Devon thought about what he said
"...those are nouns-"
"Don't mind him" Sam said jumping out of the line to grab Devon so that she could bring her to the lineup
"He doesn't understand…much" Sam said truthfully leaving Devon to nod her head in agreement
"I heard that LaRusso"
"I wasn't trying to hide it Lawrence" Sam teasingly responded making Johnny roll his eyes before walking back and forth between his students to tell them today's lesson plan
"Alright Eagles, Today's lesson is about cheating. In Eagle Fang Karate, we don't believe in fighting dirty. But Cobra Kai doesn't follow the same rules, so we have to be ready for any dirty trick they throw at us"
"Like when Chong Li threw dirt into Van Damme's eyes in bloodsport" Devon said leaving everyone shocked the most Johnny
"Exactly ! Yes ! someone did their prep work"
"And I saw the Sequels too" Devon said proudly
"Not to mention Delta Force, Billy Jack, The Octagon and Lady Dragon. Cynthia Rothrock is a beast"
Not able to hold back his smile Johnny knew he made a great choice with her
"Hell yeah she is"
"I saw Last Dragon-"
"Shut the hell up Penis Breath !" Johnny yelled making Mitch drop his head and pout as Sam just patted him on the back
"Alright everyone, get ready, Because I'm gonna put you through the wringer" Johnny said leaving everyone to just look at each other in concern with what that meant
Turns out it meant a lot
As currently everyone had their arms tied to their shoulder as Sam faced Bert
"Cobra Kai pops out your shoulder, you gotta be Ready to fight with one arm"
"Just like in Best of the Best !" Devon said leaving Johnny to nod his head and smile
"YES ! LEE ! points for reference !" Johnny stated before Sam had kicked Bert making him flip to the ground causing him whimper and groan
Lining up to face one another Mitch was in his fighting position facing Sam who was in hers
Mitch Immediately charged at Sam, meeting her kick to the gut before Johnny had thrown sand at Both Sam and Mitch. Sam had dodged the attack but Mitch got hit directly in the eyes
"AW ! SHIT ! I CAN'T SEE !"
"JOHNNY !" Sam yelled in confusion Looking directly at him
"Good dodge LaRusso ! finish the job !"
Grabbing Mitch's arm Sam flipped the larger boy to the ground before Immediately getting a water bottle and pouring it on his eyes to wash the sand out
"Couldn't you have blinded their senses with a blindfold Sensei ?" Bert asked and Johnny just shrugged her shoulders
"Had sand in my pocket, Felt like using it"
Now with the boys lined up and Sam and Devon looking directly at them Johnny walked around his grouped up students as he continued to speak
"No trick is too dirty, and no blow is too low for them. We have to be ready for it" Johnny said before approaching Sam and Devon
"Ladies" Johnny encouraged and with a hesitant look from Devon and Sam the two girls walked up to the lined up boys
"Sorry" they both apologized before they started kicking each of the boys in the nuts making them groan and hold their body parts
Soon kicking each boy Sam and Devon had noticed there was an uneven number which now lead them to look at Mitch as they both smiled at one another while Mitch just desperately shook his head
But that didn't stop them from both kicking Mitch in the balls making him drop to the floor joining everyone else
"My McNuggets…" Mitch said as Johnny approached both Sam and Devon
"They are wearing cups, right ?" Johnny asked leaving Sam to just raise an eyebrow
"You told me to leave the cups in the car ?" she said making Johnny cringe
"TAKE FIVE !"

Flipping his opponent to the mat Kyler had huffed before taunting over him
"YEAH BABY ! I DON'T EVER GET TIRED OF THAT !" Kyler exclaimed making Kreese laugh
"Good work Mr Park"
"Thank you Sensei" Kyler said before taking his spot back on the mat leaving Kreese satisfied over Silver
"Another one for me"
"Double or Nothing ?" Silver challenged making Kreese laugh
"Ok then" Kreese said with a smirk as he was ready to end today on a high note
"Mr Keene"
Getting up from his spot Everyone watched As Robby took his spot on the map praying to god that their name wouldn't get called
But Silver wasn't worried as with a blank face he called his Champion
"Payne"
Immediately everyone in Cobra Kai started to laugh even Kreese couldn't hold in his snicker while Kenny had hesitantly got up and took his spot across from Robby
Looking up at Silver with worried eyes Kenny was shocked to find what he saw in Silver
Looking at his Sensei Silver had actually…..believed in him ?
Giving a reassuring headnod to Kenny the young boy just nodded his head back before getting into his fighting position
"AIS !"
Wasting no time Kenny blocked Robby's side kick before immediately ducking under His High Kick
Again blocking Robby's under kick Kenny was eventually hit when Robby threw his last one making him groan in pain
"Woah, woah. Hey, Kenny, are you ok ?" Robby said Immediately going to check on the kid must to Silver's notice
"Go to your corners" Kreese reported and with a final look to Robby as he still clutched his arm Kenny walked over to Silver Immediately sighing
"It's hopeless…Robby doesn't have a weakness" Kenny said but Silver was quick to shake his head in doubt
"You're thinking about this the wrong way. Everyone has a weakness"
"Stop playing with him, take him down" Kreese told Robby, leading Robby to nod his head
"Yes Sensei"
"Back on the Mat" Silver said and Robby had just sighed shaking off the loose feelings before getting into his fighting position
Moving his clenched arm around Kenny shook off the pain before he too got in his fighting position
"AIS !"
Blocking Robby's Jab Robby had Immediately landed his kick hitting Kenny directly in the arm making the older teens eyes go wide
"SHIT ! Hey-Hey K-Kenny…Kenny I'm so sorry I did-"
Catching Robby off guard Kenny had swept his leg making him drop to the mat leaving everyone shocked
Kenny had just beat Robby ?
With a grinning laugh from Silver Kreese just groaned in disappointment as Kenny and Silver high fived before Silver took the mat to look upon his students
"There. Now what did we learn ? The common belief is you shouldn't care what others think about you right ? WRONG ! what your opponent is thinking is key. In war, In Business" snapping his fingers Silver pointed at the mat below him
"In a fight, Don't let your opponent think whatever they want, make them think what you want them to think. If they think your weak that's when you can surprise them with your strength" Silver said before tapping Kenny
"Good job" he said making Kenny smile
Finishing his speech Silver only smiled at Kreese as he started to head into the office
"You owe me some brewskies brother" he said ending with a laugh as Kreese had just brought his hands to the collar of his Gi as he only thought

The ride had been silent ever since they left the house
Miguel was already running late to training so he had to put his Gi on in the car which is why now he was sitting the front seat stuffing his clothes away in his backpack while Carmen held a tight grip on the steering wheel
There was a lot she wanted to see, mainly about the conversation this morning
Miguel was such a smart and strong boy but she knew this was still some disdain in his heart about her and Johnny. She could see it in his face and she didn't want him to carry that pain, especially when the tournament was so close
"Miggy, are you sure you're ok about me and Johnny ?"
"Oh my god mom" Miguel Immediately groaned
"I said for the thousandth time yes ! not please drop it" Miguel said as he zipped up his backpack
Silently tightening her jaw Carmen shifted in her seat a little
"You know I love you right hijo. More than anything in this world-"
"¡Por el amor de Dios dije que lo dejaras!" Miguel had suddenly yelled breaking his silence
Carmen was left in complete shock at Miguel's sudden outrage in his mother tongue but that still hadn't stopped him from speaking
"Yes ! ok this is weird ! all of this is really really really weird !" Miguel stressed letting out a stressing laugh
"I mean….your dating my Sensei Mom, and not just my Sensei, Sensei Lawrence…..while Yes I expected you to find love again and find someone I didn't think it'd be Sensei Lawrence of all people. Not saying he's bad or anything but….Fuck Mom ! Really ? I MEAN HOW CAN YOU BE SO SELFISH !"
Coming to a complete stop of the car Miguel was thrusted back in his seat as Carmen had Immediately whipped her head to him
Her once calm and understanding demeanor changed to a fiery passionate one as she had just stuck her finger out out Miguel
He's never seen her this mad before….
"DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME !" Carmen had yelled catching Miguel completely off guard as he just swallowed the saliva in his throat
"IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE FELT THIS WAY ABOUT ANYONE ! ANYONE ! HIJO ! I'VE DONE EVERYTHING TO GIVE YOU A GOOD LIFE ! TO SAVE YOU FROM THE TOXIC ENVIRONMENT YOU WOULD'VE BEEN RAISED IN ! I DESERVE THIS ! AND JOHNNY IS A GOOD MAN ! HE IS A GREATER MAN THAT THAT PENDEJO DE PUTA ! OF A FATHER OF YOURS WILL EVER BE"
With a tightened Jaw and a quivering lip Miguel felt like a little kid again when his mother raised his voice. Both Miguel and Carmen had fought back the tears that stained their eyes. Miguel just kept a straight stern face as he licked the inside of his mouth
Getting the anger out of his system Carmen's angered eyes had soon softened as she realized the words that slipped from her mouth
"Miggy I-"
"Yeah well lucky for me I never met my father" Miguel said before getting out the car
Carmen tried to reach out for him but he had just slammed the door shut leaving the women to sigh before resting her head on the steering wheel with a heavy sigh

Common groans of pain were shared among the boys of Eagle Fang as Devon had just handed everyone ice packs and second apologies
With her hands on her hips Sam looked around to find Johnny sitting alone on a wooden crate. His hands clenched to his knees as he was in some serious deep thinking
So deep that he hadn't noticed Sam approaching him until she took a seat next to him on the crates
"So if you teaching me offense was just me kicking guys in the balls I could've stayed at Miyagi-Do" Sam smirked and Johnny had laughed as well
"Sorry Kid…..just not on my game today, Kinda Improvised today's lesson" Johnny admitted leaving Sam to nod her head
"Figured as much, Wasn't all bad though. Now I know how to take down an Opponent with one arm" Sam said bringing some light to today's training
She had tried to get another laugh out of Johnny but just went back to blankly staring leaving Sam to sigh
"Alright what's wrong, You look like someone just told you Top Gun 2 got canceled"
"DID IT ?!" Johnny said snapping him out of his deep thinking leaving Sam to laugh
"Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok" Johnny sighed rubbing the back of his head before speaking
"...Me and Carmen told Miguel we're dating Earlier today" Johnny admitted leaving Sam to go silent
"Oh….and I'm guessing it didn't go well ?"
Tilting his head Johnny just clicked his tongue
"Wasn't the most amazing, he found out abruptly. Was just thrown into all of this. That's not how I wanted to tell him. Even more so since everything that's going on between us and Now I think he's starting to hate me and it's…..it's messing with my mind Kid I can't focus-"
"Hey hey hey, Johnny calm down" Sam said trying to get his mind back on track
"Miguel does not hate you, Quite frankly he will never be able to hate you. You changed his life in so many ways and he knows that, He'll never forget that. He just needs time to take in so much information these are all stressful times Johnny. But what we can't do is let our uncertainty overcome us. We're a team, we help each other whenever"
Growing a smirk on his face Johnny just shook his head
"You sure LaRusso is your Father" Johnny said making Sam smile and laugh before the two fist bumped one another

After a long day at the Dealership Daniel had came back to Miyagi-Do to find much to his surprise the parked Cars in squeaky clean condition
Getting out of his car Daniel was perplexed to find just how clean the cars were not a speck of dirt on them
Daniel's mind ran rampant, if Anthony was THIS GOOD at Wax on Wax off he couldn't even begin to think about how good he would be at the other stuff. Man he was so excited to-
"Alright all done" a voice said between the Cars making Daniel raise an eyebrow as he just saw a man with a sponge and a towel in his hands reveal himself
"Can I help you ?" Daniel said in confusion but before the man could even explain himself Anthony made his appearance coming out of the Dojo with his phone in hand
"Hey Artie, We're out of lemon Lime but we got tons of-"
Immediately coming to a stop when he saw his Dad Anthony just awkwardly laughed
"DAD !...Dad, Dad, Hey You're back earlyyyyy"
Not being able to hide from the scowl written all over Daniel's face Anthony just chuckled
"You know Miguel just got here, if you wanted to know"
"Ok, what's going on here ? Who the hell is this ?" Daniel said pointing to the cleaner
"I'm a TaskRabbit, I have a request to wash these four cars" the man explained but Anthony tried to shut him up
"You paid someone to clean the cars ? How ?"
Scratching the back of his head as he searched for an answer Anthony didn't know what to say
"Um….You set up my apple pay with your credit card"
"That was for that one purchase, Anthony not to use anytime you wanted-"
"I know" anthony quickly interjected
"I know Okay and I-I. I'm sorry. I just you know I guess….Heh…Dad I just didn't want to do it"
"Me neither" The man said making Daniel look at him "but my cat needs hernia surgery-"
"Ok, can you just leave ? please ?"
With a silent headnod the man left leaving Daniel and Anthony to be alone
"I can't believe this…..Anthony you can't just pay people to do the hard work ! Part of growing up is to learn how to accomplish something on your own"
Anthony scoffed taking Daniel aback
"Excuse me ?"
Shaking his head in disbelief Anthony licked the inside of his mouth before speaking
"Jesus Dad, I know what it's like. To have to do things on my own, I've known what it's like to do things on my own !" Anthony suddenly yelled leaving Daniel shocked
"I've been on my own for a while now-"
"Anthony, what are you saying ? you've never been alone ?"
"Really ! because it sure as hell feels like it Dad" Anthony cried
"Anthony, I don't know where this is coming from" Daniel sternly said making Anthony scoff again
"But this attitude will not fly, Not in this Dojo, If Mr Miyagi were here. Do you know what he would say right now-"
"DAD I DON'T CARE !" Anthony admitted making Daniel's eyes go wide
"What ?"
"All you ever do is talk about Mr Miyagi ok. Look I get it, he was a great man, he taught you Karate. Taught Sam her first move that wax on wax off thing ok Dad I've heard all of the stories and I'm getting sick of it"
"Oh you're sick of it ? So you don't wanna learn how to defend yourself. Learn skills that will help you in life"
"Yeah not if it means I have to clean up bird shit-"
"Hey ! Language" Daniel said but Anthony didn't back down
"Have you ever stopped and thought maybe there's a reason why Sam and Robby are in different Dojos right now ? Because maybe you wasted their time doing chores instead of teaching them something worthwhile-"
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH !" Daniel yelled cutting Anthony off
Shaking his head in disbelief Daniel couldn't believe this first Sam now Anthony
"I thought you were mature enough and ready for all of this…..But I was wrong" Daniel said before heading back into the Dojo leaving Anthony to scoff for the final time before he too shook his head and walked away

Sitting at the Dinner table Johnny and Carmen just picked at their food. Suddenly the feeling of not wanting to eat was infecting them like a virus
"So I'm guessing something happened on the car ride over ?" Johnny said leaving Carmen to sigh
"I flipped out on Miggy" Carmen admitted leaving Johnny with a gentle expression
"This….never happens but today….I-I Don't know what happened, we were talking and then I…."
Dropping her fork on her plate Carmen just shook her head as she palmed her face
"I'm sure it's fine" Johnny reassured her bring her hand from her face
"Like you said, Stressful times we are in. Everyone's feeling it. But someone told me that we are a team. And we have to be there for each other"
Looking at Johnny Carmen's expression had soften leading to her smile towards him
"I love you" she said making Johnny smile as well
"I love you too" he said before soon enough the two had kissed
Rustling came from the entrance of the door as Carman and Johnny turned their heads to find Miguel opening the door
The top half of his Gi was missing from his body only clenched in his hands revealing his blank white shirt
Miguel had only closed the door before dropping his house keys in the key pot and placing his bag and Gi down by the door before sitting down at the table
The room was dreaded with silence both Carmen and Johnny looking at one another searching and asking for the right words to say but nothing was coming out
"I'm sorry for the way I acted Mom…" Miguel admitted breaking the silence between them all
"I-I-I should've never lashed out on you like that and-"
"Miggy no, Don't apologize" Carmen said placing a hand over Miguel's clenched fist
"I should be the one who's apologizing, I should've never said those things to you"
"I still shouldn't have called you selfish" Miguel sighed his eyes diverging a little as he licked his lips
"Today, Mr LaRusso told us Cobra Kai wants us to feel their rage, Wants us to feel their anger, hate and resentment towards them. Cobra Kai's done things to all of us to give us reasons to hate them. With me It's Robby, With Hawk and Sam it's Tory, with You and Mr LaRusso it's Kreese and Silver….He said that in order to defeat monsters like them we need to start acting Human and find the inner peace within ourselves and I agree" Miguel said as he looked at Johnny
"I don't want there to be any bad blood between us" he told Johnny leaving the blonde to nod his head in agreement
"I don't want there to be any bad blood between us either" Johnny stated and this time Miguel nodded his head a small smile peeking from his lips
Looking between Miguel and Johnny Carmen just smiled happy to have these two men within her life
After the dinner and apparent makeup Miguel went to his room where he just dropped to his bed with a sigh plopping on his bed to lay out like a starfish
Turning his head to look at his shelf Miguel grabbed one of his many Action Figures and sighed as he held it up as he just thought about life

Walking into their home dojo Anthony couldn't stop thinking about the conversation that transpired with his Dad
He knew he overstepped a line but quite frankly he just didn't understand what the whole deal with Karate was about. I mean it's cool and all but from Anthony's standpoint all Karate did was turn his world upside down
Walking through the Dojo more Anthony just looked at all the trophies and accomplishments made by his Dad before getting to the picture of Mr Miyagi along with the one of Daniel and Mr Miaygi after his won his first All Valley
Letting out a small subtle sigh Anthony shook his head when he thought about the night him and his friends attacked Kenny. They all thought he knew Miyagi-Do but turns out even if he did it would be useless to attack with
Looking at the small wooden box on the stand Anthony had opened it, finding a small scroll inside Anthony had just looked at it not given the chance to even open it before a voice made him jump
"Careful with that, you know Dad doesn't like us touching his things" Sam said with a grin as she walked into the Dojo
Shaking his head Anthony put the scroll back in the box
"Yeah well me and Dad aren't really the best of friends right now" Anthony admitted making Sam snort
"Yeah well join the club" she said as she approached him
"What are you even doing in here ? I thought you didn't care about this Karate stuff ?"
"Yeah well I don't…..or at least I didn't. Until everyone in my life suddenly came fascinated by it. You, Mom, Dad. I mean you and Dad literally have to win a Karate tournament in a couple of weeks that defines if this will all end or not safe to say Karate is shoved down my throat right now" Anthony admitted making Sam diverge her eyes
"yeah…..You know Anthony I never wanted this to get to be the way it is now. I remember when times were so much simpler"
"Yeah, I do too. I remember when you and Robby were two of Dad's only students now neither of you are with him" Anthony said making Sam pout a little
"Things are a little…..complicated" Sam stated and Anthony only thought over her words
"You know, everyone has these amazing memories of Mr Miyagi…..but I….I never really met the guy" Anthony Began making Sam just look at him
"And even though all this Karate stuff starts with him it feels like everyone is connected to him in some way but but so now I just feel-"
"Out of the loop ?" Sam said and Anthony had just silently nodded his head
"Yeah…."
Blowing some air out of her nose Sam picked at her shirt as she began to search for the right words to say
"I know you don't remember him, but trust me when I say he knew you" Sam began softly as she placed her hands on her brothers shoulders causing him to look at her
"I know you're tired of feeling alone but I promise you Anthony you aren't alone, your world is just so disconnected from ours and honestly that's not a bad thing" Sam said leaving Anthony to raise an eyebrow
"It's not ?"
Sam just shook her head
"No" she smiled
"You get the choice to make your own path, your own life away from all this. Away from the Karate and the Drama that's with it. But don't think just because you didn't know Mr Miyagi that means he didn't love and care for you because he did. He cared for everyone in this family including you. It's actually why your middle name is japanese" Sam stated immediately making Anthony smile
"Really ?!" he said and Sam just nodded her head
"Yep, Yasu means Peace and and calmness in Japanese and it was actually Mr Miyagi who gave it to you when you were born"
Thinking on what Sam just said Anthony thought everything over
"...wait, so that's what Yasu means ? no wonder it always felt weird to me. Anthony Yasu LaRusso is a pretty cool name though. I sound like some sort of Anime character"
With a small laugh Sam just slung her arm around Anthony's shoulder as they began to head out the Dojo
"Learning Miyagi-Do isn't easy, trust me. It's boring and time consuming and gets old really fast. But Dad is right, the more you do it the more you enjoy it. So next time you want to Learn Miyagi-Do just listen to Dad and wipe bird poop off the cars ok" Sam said leaving Anthony to laugh and shake his head
"Ok"

With the Junior Prom quickly approaching everyone was quickly making their marks. As Sam, Hawk and Miguel continued to walk the main hall of the school discussing what's going on with Daniel and Johnny they couldn't help but see all the couples and friends groups locked tighter leaving them with a pretty empty feeling
"Well it's good you guys have both Female and Males division fighters" Miguel told Sam
"Right now Miyagi-Do is looking like a Sausage fest" he said making Hawk and Sam chuckle
"Yeah, Devon might've been the only girl Cobra Kai couldn't get and she might also be the only girl that wants to do Karate, But you guys could still win. You guys will easily place high in the skills. Weapons and Kata competition"
"What about you guys" Hawk asked Sam leaving her to just sigh
"Johnny has me teaching everyone Kata and today he actually said he was gonna go out and buy weapons which I don't really think is safe. But…"
Coming to a stop in words Tory along with the other new female Cobra Kai members had walked past the trio making Sam clench her fist while Hawk just held his breath
"I much rather practice the ways of how to break her teeth" Sam growled
Turing to look at Eli's sorrow expression Miguel placed a hand on his best friends shoulder
"You ok ?" Miguel asked and Eli just nodded his head as he out took a heavy breathe
"Yeah…yeah I'll be fine" he said but both Miguel and Sam knew that was a lie
"SAM !" a new voice said making the 3 teens turn their heads but once they did confusion only ran rampant through their minds once they saw Johnny
"How does he keep getting in here ?" Hawk said but no one had an answer for him
"Johnny, what are you doing here ?"
With an eager smile on his face Johnny couldn't help but rub his hands
"Just got back from the shop picked up some nice weaponry but that's not what I'm hear about, you and me field trip right now let's go" he said catching all three of them off guard
"What ?" Miguel said
"Sensei, she has school ? I mean…do you just expect her to drop everything-"
"I'm in" Sam said cutting Miguel off
Johnny just smiled while Sam grabbed at her bag once more
"Alright cool, I'll write you a doctors note and then we can go kick some ass" Johnny said before looking at Miguel and Hawk
"You guys wanna come too ? figured you could use a break from LaRusso's dance class"
Immediately Hawk shook his head
"Sorry Sensei, While I am very tempted….still pretty shaken up about striking first" Eli said making Johnny just groan
He thought Hawk would be a surefire yes, Cobra Kai must've taken more than he thought
But now all that left was Miguel who just bit his lip in thought while everyone looked at him for his answer

Opening his locker Anthony pulled out Kenny's Cobra Kai sweatshirt
Regret ran thoroughly through his body as Anthony had just sighed knowing this has all gone too far but before he could fully pull the sweatshirt out Lia's voice spooked him making him close his Locker door in a hurry
"Heyyyy Lia" Anthony nervously said making the girl laugh
"Hey Ant, I thought of something we can do. There's this Fair down at Westwood park, They got all these rides, and even better fried Oreos !"
Nodding his head in approval Anthony the approved expression was shown on his face
"Fried Oreos, speaking my language with that one"
Clapping her hands in excitement Lia was suddenly eager
"Cool cool, I've already invited a bunch of people. My Sister said every prize there is damn near humongous and Kenny says the pirate ship goes upside down. I mean Totally Vertical !"
Immediately Anthony's face dropped when she started to mention more than just them. Even worse Kenny's name was added as well
"Kenny ?" Anthony said leaving Lia to nod her head
"Oh yeah ! He's absolutely Hilarious" Lia said mindlessly waving at him as he passed by catching Anthony's eyes "You guys are gonna get along great, Even plays Dungeons ! I thought we were the only people in the school to do that
Lia had said some more words but Anthony didn't hear them still focused on Anthony who went to the hallways bulletin board
"Ok so see you Saturday" Lia said before seeing some friends of her own
"Oh ! Hey Jane ! Wait up ! bye Anthony"
With that being that Anthony just closed his locker and sighed walking back into his head hit the locker where he only sighed again only more Intensely
"Ouch ! that's gotta hurt" Zack said making Anthony roll his eyes as his friends had came up to him and they heard everything
Looking over to Kenny Anthony thought everything over as he also thought on Sam's words along with his Dad's
Which now led him to walk up to Kenny whilst Kenny turned around seeing Anthony approach him
Immediately Kenny sighed, he didn't have time for this shit today
"What do you want" Kenny snapped and Anthony just put his hands up in defeat
"I've been thinking about everything that's been going on between us and I just wanna talk…..I know I don't deserve it but, maybe we could try starting over ? I heard Lia invited you to the fair and I thought that'd be a good starting point for us ?"
Sticking out his hand hoping Kenny would accept it Kenny just looked at it before snorting
"Common LaPusso, always starting the fight but when the tides turn you wanna end it" Kenny bit making Anthony retreat his hand back while his friends just "ooooooed" in the back
"Listen I tried to be nice" Anthony said sternly flipping his demeanor
"Call me that name one more Time I'll make you regret it" Anthony threatened but Kenny didn't take him serious as he just smiled and laughed
"Sorry, I forgot you were so sensitive about that….. LaPusso"
With clenched fist Anthony tried to grab Kenny but he just smacked his hands away before beginning to run enraging Anthony
"GET HIM !" He yelled before soon enough Anthony and his friends were chasing Kenny through the Halls

Entering the Library Kenny had Immediately disappeared into the dark room leaving Anthony and his friends confused once they entered as well
"Where is he ?" Anthony said but Zack shook his head
"Doesn't matter he's trapped let's find him" he said before soon enough all four of them split up in the Library
Searching the Library one of Anthony's friends was kicked in the back of his leg making him drop to the ground before Kenny had finished him with a clean and quick kick to the face
Searching through the rows of Library Books, a book had dropped to Zack's feet making him jump before looking at the other end
"Marcus ?" he said in confusion before receiving a kick to the stomach knocking him back into the book shelves
The sudden commotion started to freak Anthony out as he whisked his head back and forth
"Guys ! what was that !" Anthony said before he heard another banging noise making him jump
"Guys !" Anthony shouted again in confusion as he made his way to the center of the Library
"LaPusso !" Anthony heard Kenny whisper to him in the sea of darkness only freaking him out more. So much that he tripped off a Book cart falling to the ground but that was exactly what Kenny needed as he Immediately ran up to Anthony and grabbed him by his Jacket color as he brought up a fist
"It's just you and me now LaRusso" Kenny said ready to strike making Anthony flinch but was exactly when the lights turned on
"Hey, what's going on in here ?" a Teacher said said and Kenny had dropped Anthony before soon enough both boys looked at the Teacher in concern
'Aw Shit' they both thought

Sitting in the warehouse Johnny and Sam sat together as they each held one of the many plethora of weapons Johnny had bought
"You know I thought we would be kicking ass right now" Sam said to Johnny as she spun the Kunai within her hands
With a small smirk Johnny shook his head as he looked down at the battle axe in his
Tilting his head to face her Johnny took a deep breathe for speaking
"...Why are you doing this ?" he suddenly asked catching Sam off guard as she just looked at Johnny
"What ?"
"Why are you doing this ? sitting here with me. While I drink a Beer and you drink a soda, you choose to ditch school so that you could sit here with me, hold weapons and drink all so that you could be with me ? why ?"
Giving it some thought in silence Sam stopped spinning the weapon in her hands as she only thought about his question more
"Well your my Sensei-"
"Come on LaRusso, don't pull that shit with me. 5 months ago you wouldn't even think about ditching school let alone hang out with me, Now look at you. You left your Father's Dojo, Your cutting class, your playing with weapons, your drinking Soda and doing Karate" Johnny smirked as he took a final sip of his beer bottle
"Your basically me in High School if I was a girl"
The realization had hit Sam like a Semi Truck as Johnny's words looped in her head
Holy shit ?...she was ?
Going back to twirling the Kunai in her hand Sam tilted her head a little
"I don't know, why did you allow me into Eagle Fang"
"Because I needed a girl fighter" Johnny said truthfully making Sam snort
"Now look who's lying" she said making Johnny laugh as he placed down his empty beer bottle
Picking up her Soda Can Johnny clasped his hands together
"You were right…..back on the roof, I did fail Robby-"
"Johnny I said a lot of things" Sam had Immediately sighed trying to stop him but Johnny didn't stop
"No you were right Sam, It's my fault….My Dad left when I was in Kindergarten" Johnny told her as Sam put her Soda bottle down so that she could listen to him
"I barely remember him, my mom did everything she could. Married a rich prick thinking that would be a good idea but it only made me miss my dad more and I couldn't figure out why….I didn't have a male role model growing up. Till I met Kreese and you know how that went and I didn't want to be like him or Sid so I panicked, I figured if I left Robby alone he'd turn out better than I did….but I was wrong, I fucked up" Johnny sighed shakingly as Sam wiped away her tears
"But the LaRusso's came in, you guys took him in, Your Dad was more of a Father to Robby then I ever was. Your Mom loved him like a second son. Anthony loved him like a brother and you loved him…." Nodding his head as he swallowed his tears Johnny paused as now they were both fighting back tears
"Fuck crying is for pussies" Johnny said making Sam laugh as she had tears in her eyes
"I never got to say thank you…..thank you for being there for him when I wasn't…..Because if it wasn't for you all I…..God I don't even wanna know where he'd be right now. It's why I'm so possessive of Miguel, Because I don't wanna make the same mistake I made for Robby…But clearly I don't know what the hell I'm doing if another son of mine is back with LaRusso-"
"Hey, hey" Sam said as Johnny started to full on cry
Bringing him into a hug Sam held Johnny close as he just felt him weeping into her shoulder
"You might not be the best Father but Johnny you are an Amazing person with a good heart" Sam told him as he continued to cry with open ears
"And deep down Robby knows that just like Miguel does. Because if you weren't…I wouldn't be here"
Johnny's tears started to decline as Sam heard him suck in his breath
"You changed the lives of so many people, Mine, Miguel's Hawk, Mitch, Bert….Demetri-"
"Aww you had to ruin the moment" Johnny groaned causing them to both laugh as Johnny brought himself back up from Sam
Both Sam and Johnny wiped their own tears before Sam continued
"Hell Even Devon's taken a fondness of you. You think she'd be here right now if she didn't like you"
Giving it some thought Johnny nodded his head
"Girl is pretty badass" Johnny agreed
"Just because someone else is in a different Dojo, or chooses to learn a different fighting style does not mean they think of you any less or more" Sam said honestly
"That's why I'm here Johnny, I'm here because you know that, you understand that, you inspire me to be better" Sam admitted leaving Johnny to snicker
"Your a high grade Badass LaRusso and I don't think it means much but you have my blessing" Johnny told Sam making her chuckle as she picked up a new soda bottle while Johnny picked up a new Beer bottle
"It means everything" she said before they clinked bottle and soon flicked their bottle caps before taking a large long sip
After their sip Johnny just shook his head letting the alcohol take effect as he stood up to his feet
"Alright LaRusso on your feet" he ordered making Sam smile as she did what's told
"You wanted to come here to kick ass and we're gonna do just that"
Taking Sam to the center of the Warhouse Johnny took off a large sheet revealing a plethora of Watermelon in a wooden crate while one Watermelon was chained up
Johnny had pulled that chain making the fruit rise and all Sam could think about what the hell did he have in store for her
"Ok what is this ?"
"One of the most badass kicks in all of Karate" Johnny said as he continued to bring the fruit up
"Is the flying Tornado" he said leaving it at a perfect angle before looking back at Sam
"I wasn't sure if you were ready for it. It's a pain in the ass to master but…." Johnny smirked
"This should be a piece of cake for you, Don't mind a little pain do you" he asked and Sam just shook her head
"No Sensei" she said before bowing
With the sound of the warehouse door opening a voice caught both their attentions
"Hope we're not intruding on anything" Miguel said as the two Eagle's saw Miguel and Eli enter the warehouse
Quickly glancing at Sam she just have Johnny a "told you" Look before Johnny looked back at Miguel and Eli
"What are you guys doing here ?" Sam asked leaving the two boys to smile
"Well Sensei Lawrence was right, Schools kinda boring" Miguel began
"Also Miguel needed a ride" Eli said honestly making everyone laugh
"You got any more badass tricks you can teach us Sensei ?" Miguel asked and Johnny just nodded his head before smiling
"FALL IN !"

"I can't believe this is happening again" Amanda said as she and Daniel made their way to the Anthony's school's Office
"First Sam, now Anthony ?"
"Don't worry he'll be safe we'll make sure the kid who did this is not get off lightly" Daniel said as they got to the office to find Anthony and Kenny sitting to each other side by side
"Hey Anthony. Are you ok ?" Daniel asked and Anthony just nodded his head
"Mr and Mrs LaRusso come on in" the Schools Principal said leaving the parents to make quick haste into the office while Anthony and Kenny just sat back and watched
"We're not exactly sure what happened here" Daniel said but Amanda was quick to cut him off
"But whatever it is we expect there to be a severe punishment for this" Amanda said as she and Daniel took their seats
"Well I'm glad we're on the same page Mrs LaRusso, there will be. I've already spoken to the parents of the other offending students involved and we will be suspending them" He said leaving Daniel and Amanda to nod their heads in reassurance
"Good"
"And your son"
Immediately Daniel and Amanda flipped
"What ?! None of this is Anthony's Fault ?" Daniel said but the principal shook his head
"Well, I'm afraid we have proof that you're wrong Mr LaRusso" the principal said as he showed Daniel and Amanda the security camera footage of Anthony and his friends chasing Kenny down the hall making them gasp in shock
"Turns out this isn't the first time either" he said before showing them the video of Kenny's locker filled with milk
"Still don't know how they got all that milk in the locker ? instead of bullying they should study science could make a career one day"
Completely dumbfounded by what they were hearing Daniel and Amanda couldn't believe their eyes
"Anthony and the others have been cyberbullying Mr Payne for some time now. I've seen enough evidence to show that Anthony and the others have been a real bully this year. And this school takes Bullying very seriously"
Nodding his head Daniel gripped the chair handle tightly
"So do I" he said before looking back through the window to face Anthony and Immediately the younger boy knew he was in deep shit
But Kenny noticed as well, His face changing to a grinning demeanor as he whispered in Anthony's ear
"I Got you"
And Anthony only sighed

Inside the backroom Silver was reading Levithan but his reading soon came to a stop when Kreese entered the Room holding his pack of beers making Silver smile
"A man of his word"
Looking at the brand Silver got up from his chair
"Woah, are those Ba Muoi Ba ? nice my friend" he said taking the pack in his hand
"Old 33's They've changed a bit since the war, to the victor go the spoils"
"Sweet" Silver smiled as he took the pack and placed them down before grabbing a bottle
"You know who the remind me of' Kreese said
"Who ?"
"Scovil, good old boy from Utah"
Giving it a thought Silver had played with his beer cap
"Yeah, yeah. Yeah never washed his ass could smell him coming a mile away" Silver laughed but Kreese kept his stern face
"Remember the day we were on patrol, and he took it upon himself to jump rank and take point"
Looking back at Kreese Silver just thought but ended up thinking nothing of it
"Crazy bastard"
"Wounded up walking directly into a minefield. Blew himself to Kingdom come" Kreese said finally laughing but Silver had caught on to his point as slowly he put the pack down
"Kinda Story I'd rather forget" Silver stated but Kreese shook him off
"We don't have the luxury of forgetting, Nor should we" Kreese said as he started to walk to Silver
"We should remember what happens to soldiers who don't follow their leader-"
"Johnny look if this is about–"
"QUIET !" Kreese yelled shutting Silver up
"I'm not done speaking lieutenant. The Other day when we were teaching, You told the students that I have a weakness"
"I said everyone has a weakness" Silver corrected but Kreese shook his finger
"No, you specifically talked about me. And it made me wonder what do you think my weakness is ?"
Silver shook his head and chuckled
"Look John, it was just a lesson for the class"
"You're afraid to tell me"
Letting out a sigh Silver stayed silent not wanting to speak which only annoyed Kreese more
"Do you remember the cage" Kreese said making Silver's eyes go wide as Immediately war flashbacks hit him hard and fast
"We both thought we were gonna die. But I wasn't afraid. You were like a puddle of piss and if it wasn't for me you'd still be back in that pit correct ?"
Swallowing the lump in his throat Silver nodded his head
"Yes…"
"I'm the one who got you out of that cage then only to find you in another one that you created for yourself. I always looked out for you Terry and I always will but you need to fall back in line and follow my lead because there's a lot of landmines out there and if you don't watch watch your step" Kreese said as he grabbed a beer from the pack
"You don't mind do you ?" Kreese smirked leaving Silver to lick the inside of his mouth before snorting
"No Captain.." much to Kreese's admiration as he made his leave leaving Silver to watch him walk away as he clenched his fist tightly
