Picking up the fallen clothes and towels around the house Amanda was led outside to follow her trail
Unlucky for her she ran straight into Chozen who just finished up his laps swimming in their pool…..
Naked
Leaving Amanda to just gasp in shock as Chozen had wiped the water from his face before seeing Amanda with a smile
"Ah ! good morning, Amanda-san" Chozen smiled and waved leaving Amanda not knowing what to do as she just waved back
"THIS IS NOT OK DANIEL !" Amanda shouted after dragging her Husband out of bed and bringing him downstairs to the Kitchen to tell him off
"It is crazy enough you flew him out here. But you did not tell me he was gonna be living with us ! and you definitely didn't say anything about him being a nudist"
Letting out a small chuckle Daniel shook his head
"He's not a nudist Amanda. He's just a man of routine, Back in Okinawa, He'd start every morning bathing in his local hot spring"
"So let's get him a membership to the YMCA !" Amanda said making Daniel chuckle again
"There are places he can be naked that aren't our backyard…..I can't believe this is happening-"
"It won't happen again. I-"
"I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE POOL ! DANIEL ! I'M TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THIS !" Amanda suddenly shouted leaving Daniel to realize what she was truly angry about
"You said the All Valley would end all this" Amanda said pointing at Daniel as he just dropped his head
"Sam and Tory had their match. Nobody got hurt, Sam and Robby are back together and he's on the good side again, Eli got his confidence back, You and Johnny worked out your differences, KREESE EVEN WENT TO JAIL ! IT'S A KARATE MIRACLE ! this should be over"
Putting his hands up in defeat Daniel tried to calm his wide down
"I know, but with Terry Silver in charge now, and Cobra Kai expanding there more of a threat than ever !" Daniel said as Amanda just shook her head in disbelief looking away from him as Daniel continued
"And if I don't do something, It's only a matter of time before he's brainwashed all the kids in the Valley-"
"I'm not worried about all the kids in the Valley" Amanda said turning to look at Daniel
"I'm worried about OUR kids….ok Anthony still thinks we neglect him and Sam….Sam hasn't been the same since the tournament and with Robby in Mexico with Johnny, finding Miguel she feels alone and is shutting everyone out"
Letting out a small sigh Daniel clasped his hands
"Amanda I promise you I will not put our kids in danger" he said but Amanda just didn't believe him
"How can you keep that promise Daniel ? Miguel, Sam, Eli, Demetri, Robby all our kids seem to be in nothing but danger that YOU put them in. You used them like weapons for the tournament. Harvested and Manipulated their personal scores against one another. And now you want to promise me you'll keep them safe ?"
"Yes, Amanda, that's why Chozen is here. To protect us" Daniel said but Amanda just shook her head and sighed
"It's Summer Daniel, and call me crazy but I thought we'd be having Mai Tais by the pool right about now. Not watching your Okinawan assassin use it as his training ground"
With that Amanda forced herself out of the conversation making Daniel purse his lips and tighten his jaw as he thought on her words

CEUTA, MEXICO
Feeling the presence of the bus coming to a screeching Halt, The Stop made Miguel suddenly wake up in his seat
Shaking his head and rubbing his eyes seeing everyone around him get out of their seats and stand up to get their belongings signified where he was
He made it
He was in Mexico
Getting out of his own seat Miguel put his backpack around his back before stepping down the stairs of the bus to exit the vehicle
Immediately the sunlight and warm air of the city had awoken his tired form as he even squinted a little at the rays before making his way
Immediately when he stepped out the bus Miguel was bombarded with the Local townsfolk trying to cell him something, fortunately for him he had little to no money after buying his ticket so all he did was say "Gracias" and kept his head down continuing to look at his phone
Moving his phone every which way Miguel groaned at the fact that he had no single, Not getting a single so that he can indicate where the hell he was or where his search could begin
Trying to find some sort of service Miguel walked to a nearby beach raising his phone in the air with no success leaving him to groan again at the notice of his surfers posted up
"Oi Oi ! You need some help there mate ?"
Looking at the incoming surfer with long and pretty dirty blonde hair Miguel nodded his head as he looked back down at his phone that had no service
"Uh, yeah…yeah, yeah I'd actually love some help. My uh….Phone's out of service ?" Miguel explained as the guy approached him
"Do you think you could help me get to 137 Avenue Santurce ?"
"Oh !" the man smiled as more of his friends came to Miguel
"We're your in luck mate. I can show ya right here" he said making Miguel Immediately smile
"Really…thank you guys" Miguel said as the man put a map on his friends back and grabbed a marker
"Where your trying to go is right here" he explained circling a point on the map
"X marks the spot"
"Great ! Awesome ! yeah th-thank you guys so much !"
"Ah it's no problem mate" he said pocketing the map
"Yeha no worries. Not easy to find your way around here"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Attempting to take the map from him the man just took it out of Miguel's grasp before he could accept it
"Actually, you don't mind giving me some pesos, do you ?" he asked leaving Miguel slowly confused
"I mean the map and all…"
Thinking it over for a second Miguel soon nodded his head
"Yeah…yeah, yeah that makes sense how much ?"
Giving a second to think about it the surfer stroked his beard
"Uhh, well I'd say about 5 Pesos ? that sound fair"
"..yeah, yeah that sounds fair to me" Miguel said as he opened up his wallet and handed the man his money but still when Miguel was about to grab the Map the man pulled back making his friends laugh but Miguel failed to see the humor
"...actually I just changed my mind…..I'm thinking something a little more for well you know the map and all" The man said leaving Miguel to groan and roll his eyes
"Alright dude look. I gave you your money now just hand me the map. I'm not in the mood for your little hussle right now" Miguel said in a low growl making all the men laugh
"Woah, easy their mate, just joshing ya. Didn't mean to get you riled up" the man laughed patting Miguel on the shoulder as he handed Miguel the map
But when Miguel grabbed the piece of paper a man had came behind him grabbing at his backpack
Immediately on Instinct Miguel gave the man an Elbow to the face making all the surfers flinch in reaction before flipping him down to the sandy ground
With a hard step on the man's face a glare stood on Miguel's facial features as he looked at the rest of the surfers
"Like I said I don't feel like playing any of your games right now, so unless you all want your Culo's kicked. GIVE ME THE DAMN MAP !"
Looking at one another before looking at Miguel who continued to step on their friends he stood upon the blonde surfer just nodded his head before reaching the map out in which Miguel snatched it before walking away leaving the surfers to pick up their friend from the ground watching as Miguel walked away looking down at the Map
"Welcome to Mexico…"
"Yeah Thanks !" Miguel growled before sticking up the middle finger to them

With the sound of a store chime Johnny had stepped out of a Mexican Liquor store with a pair of red Sunglasses on his face to shield himself from the Sunlight which was pretty damn bright here
"Got us some choice supplies for the next leg of our road trip" Johnny said approaching Robby who was leaning against the minivan with his arms folded and a small smile as he watched Johnny list of their supplies
"Mexican Cokes-"
"I think here they're just cokes" Robby said but Johnny continued as if he didn't say anything
"Mexican Candy-"
"Still just Candy Dad"
"Chicharrons" Johnny said before throwing it in the back seat
"And I just picked up this badass cell phone. It's got like 60 minutos on it. That's like 300 American minutes"
Robby only laughed at his Dad's stupidity
"And I got you a little something to say "Welcome to Mexico" Johnny said as he pulled out a small bobble head of a dog with a sombrero
"You can give it to LaRusso when we get back to America" Johnny said making Robby shake his head and smile
Sam would love this…..
"Also for gift number two I got you this badass shirt"
Pulling his final gift out of the bag Robby looked at Johnny in confusion when Johnny handed Robby a FBI shirt on it
"Turn it around" Johnny said and Robby did only to find the back saying FEMALE BODY INSPECTOR making Johnny laugh while Robby rolled his eyes with his own chuckle
"Isn't that great ? Look I got one for me too"
Putting the shirt in the back seat Robby sighed just putting his hands in his pockets before looking up at Johnny
"Ok what are we actually doing here ? and don't lie to me and tell me it's some Father Son bonding thing because we could've done that 500 Miles ago"
Letting out his own sigh Johnny took off the sunglasses that covered his face
"All right look…This is a father son bonding thing. But there's something we have to take care of first." Johnny admitted leaving Robby to only look at him in thought

Yeah they were definitely a toxic couple
But they knew they were toxic together so that means it's not so bad…right ?
Laying in her bed wearing nothing but his shirt that was definitely big on her Tory continued to stare at the ceiling in thought and ponder of everything
They'd been doing this ever since summer started
It started the same way every time too. He'd bring something over like pizza, or ice cream, or burgers and fries, they'd put on a movie or tv show or youtube, They'd sit together and watch it, and always ALWAYS by the 30 minute mark they were making out. Usually with her straddling him until he inevitably picked her up and carried her to her room
So far it's happened every day of the summer
Everyday and quite frankly…..Tory couldn't get enough of it
Turning her head to see Eli face down in her pillow, his top half completely missing his shirt that occupied her body. Tory had only smiled at the sight
She got up a little, her messy blonde bed hair pooling all around her face as she looked down at his sleeping form, his Eagle Tattoo plastered in all view on his back for her to see
With a small smile Tory started to run a seductive finger upon his back, tracing the Eagle Tattoo that coated the top of his backside. The action soon made Eli smile awakening him from his sleep as het just let out a low groan signaling his awake
"Can you please keep doing that" Eli sensual whimpered flipping his head to face her smile
"I can…or you could greet me good morning the right way" Tory teasingly remarked making Eli grin before leaning his head up to meet her lips in a soft kiss
Smiling within the intimate action Eli had gradually changed his positioning so that he could deepen the kiss. A soft hand was brought up to her face to help stabilize himself and deepen the kiss more before he grabbed at Tory making her squeal in delight
Bringing her on top of him their kiss had only gotten more intimate and passionate as TOry replaced his action, cuffing his face in her hands while he took her waist clutching her to him as Eli had suddenly sat up with Tory on his lap
Slipping his hand under her shirt ready to continue off where they left last night Eli's phone began to ring compelled ruining the moment between the couple
Letting out a soft sigh Eli shook his head and chuckle as he stopped kissing Tory, only putting his forehead to hers
"I knew this wouldn't last long…"
"Who's calling you" Tory gasped out going in for another kiss and actually getting it before Eli pulled back again to make their faces meer inches away from one another
"Sam" Eli said not even needing to know who it was
He felt her tense up at the reveal of Sam's name but Eli had just squeezed her tighter for reassurance
"Relax" he smirked with a quick peck to her lips
"She just wants to make sure I'm going to Miyagi-Do today"
With confusion on her face Tory just raised an eyebrow, lacing her fingers with his before kissing him again with a heavy breath
"I thought you guys had to shut down after losing the tournament ?"
"We did" Eli answered honestly
"But that still doesn't mean we can't train"
Tory didn't understand the motives behind His Sensei's actions. It seemed kinda cheap and snake-like if you asked her. She knew firsthand Johnny wouldn't go back on a deal. Couldn't speak for Sam's Dad. But also to be fair it's not like her side of the party won fair and square anyway
Thinking back on the night Tory found out Silver paid the ref for her matches, Tory Immediately grew an uncomfortable feeling deep within her gut
Eli felt the change of emotion within her as her kisses and pecks started to feel lifeless making Eli pull back so that he could look at her
"Hey….you ok ?"
Mindlessly nodding her head as she averted her eyes and face Eli could tell something was wrong
"Yeah…yeah" she said ruining a hand through her messy blonde hair to attempt to fix it with no prevail
"You should get going, don't want to bring any suspicion to your team"
Immediately brining a hand to her face making her look at him Eli stared at the deadness within her eyes, an expression she sadly commonly had
"You know…I've been thinking-"
"Well that's never a good idea" Tory cut him off making Eli laugh
"...what if you joined us ?" Eli asked and Tory only looked at him as if her heart had stopped
And quite truthfully and honestly it might've
Seeing the astonished expression on Tory's face Eli only smirked in a laugh but Tory still looked at him confusingly
"You're kidding right ?"
Shaking his head Tory still couldn't believe him
"If Robby can join back why can't you ?"
"Because everyone knew Robby was meant to be there, He's like THE Miyagi-Do student. Plus everyone there hates me, Especially Sam. Who if you forget is like queen of Miyagi-Do so yeah this idea is stupid"
Letting out another laugh Eli kissed Tory one final time before picking her up so that he could drop her on her bed
Leaving Tory to watch Eli roll off her bed as he started to put his clothes on Tory just thought on his words
Her ?
Joining Miyagi-Do ? or Miyagi-Fang whatever the hell they're calling it ?...
Snapping out of her inner thoughts when Eli came to kiss her, the intimate moment only lingered for a couple of seconds before Eli had pulled back knowing he had to leave
"Same time tomorrow" he smirked already making his way out the door
"Wonder what you'll bring then"
Making a thinking face that only made Tory Eli laugh gave one last remark
"Was thinking of Chinese food" he said before finally leaving. Tory's lingering smile had only dropped once she thought back on what he said
What if she joined them ?...
Bshhh
Yeah like no way in hell

"Everyone gather around !" Daniel said leaving all the Miyagi-Do's to do as told as they saw their Sensei before them
"It's great to see you all back here again" Daniel smiled as he looked at the Miyagi-Do's minus sadly Miguel and Robby for reasons but Sam was back so that meant something
"You know, we had one goal in mind going into the All Valley"
" Beat Cobra Kai"
Immediately Sam's face dropped as she just sighed sadly
"We walked away with a first place trophy thanks to Eli" Daniel said leaving everyone to clap and cheer for Eli making him smile
"As far as the rest of the tournament…..well, it just didn't go out way"
Again Sam couldn't do anything but drop her head in shame
"The deal was we'd close our Dojo if we lost…..and while Sadly….our Eagle Fang Brothers and Sister. Followed code and Johnny closed down his shop…..I have decided I will do the same as well" Daniel revealed leaving everyone in pure shock as Sam and Eli just looked at one another
"From here on today I am shutting down Miyagi-Do Karate-"
"Dad ?"
"Mr Larusso-"
Putting his hands up Daniel just sighed
"Look I know that's not the news you wanted to hear this summer, but with everything going on at Cobra Kai, continuing to operate Miyagi-Do only leaves a target on your backs…..I don't want to put you all in any more danger than I've already done. Guys I have to keep you safe, ok so just remember what you've learned. Ok, this Dojo might be closing, but Miyagi-Do lives inside each and every one of you still"
Letting out their own disappointed sighs Demetri only shook his head sadly
"Great….guess I'm getting a summer job" he said before soon enough all the boys started to fill out the dojo as Eli just patted Sam on the back before following everyone else leaving Sam to just look at her dad in sorrow
"Dad this can't be your plan-"
"Sam I know you're disappointed"
"I just wanna make things right" Sam cried
"None of this would've even happened if I didn't lose to Tory at the tournament….This is all my fault"
Immediately shaking his head Daniel disagreed
"No Sam, it's mine. With Johnny gone, it's on me to fix this. I reached out to Chozen because this isn't about a tournament anymore….This is real life-"
"But Dad I can fight-"
"This isn't your fight Sam !" Daniel said the plea in his eyes caused Sam's facial features to change
"Sam you've done more than enough, You did what you were supposed to do, You got to the finals with Eli, you used every bit of the teachings Johnny and I taught you. You had your fight with Tory, Sam. your fight with Cobra Kai is over"
Seeing the pain on his daughter's face only fueled Daniel more
"I know firsthand that Silver isn't afraid of putting kids in harm's way. And I have to keep all of you out of this….so please, just please….just trust me on this…You just got Robby back, don't spend your time worrying about Cobra Kai. Go out and enjoy the summer"
Shaking her head in dismay Daniel watched as Sam had stomped away leaving Daniel to sigh before palming his face in deep thought
.

"You've GOT to be kidding me !" Robby groaned as Johnny continued to drive the car
"Look you have every right to be upset"
Shaking his head Robby soon turned it to look at his father
"How could you take me to Mexico and not mention once we're coming to get Miguel ? "Come on Robby, let's go to Mexico, come back with some father son stories" Robby groaned again with a head shake making Johnny sigh as he rearranged himself in his seat
"Dad I JUST got Sam back, you KNOW how Important she is to me, and after all the bullshit I pulled these last few months running around with Cobra Kai. I have a lot of apologizing and mending relationships I have to do. With Chris, with Nate with Demetri with Mr LaRusso. I could be spending time with Sam right now but instead I'm chasing after the one person on the planet I don't like"
Letting out his own sigh as now Robby fixed himself in his seat just looking out the window as he covered his mouth Johnny spoke
"I wasn't bullshitting you ok, I wanna fix our relationship. And Rob I promise you will get back to fixing your life with your friends and girlfriend. But when I heard Miguel was in trouble I had to do something, and I couldn't just leave you at home. Ok I'm done doing that…besides, I need your help to find Miguel"
Robby snorted
"My help ? Do you even have a plan ?"
Looking back at Johnny now he snorted
"Yeah, of course I do. Miguel's looking for Hector Salazar. I know where the kid gets off the Bus. that's our first stop"
Looking at Johnny in confusion Robby tilted his head
"And when we get there, what exactly do you plan on doing ?"
"I'll ask around, see if anyone saw Miguel"
Only looking at Johnny with a dumbfounded look on his face Robby waited for more
"? That's the big plan ?"
"Of course not, We come up dry, I'll check the Mexican Phone book"
Shaking his head in disbelief Robby couldn't believe he actually fell for this
"Oh my god…You drove me over a thousand miles to check a phone book ?! you mine as well have put Miguel's face on a Milk Carton" Robby said truthfully but Johnny had just looked at him in wonder
"They still do that ?" he said leaving Robby to just sigh and palm his face
"I could've been at home….with Sam right now…..coming here was a mistake-"
"Hey, hey, hey..I'm sorry, Ok, I admit it. I thought this trip would help you and Miguel get over your shit. Look when we get to the bus station, if you wanna buy a ticket home, you can. Now I don't want you to go home but-"
"DAD WATCH OUT !"
"SHIT !"
Immediately swerving out of the way of the car Johnny hadn't noticed Johnny's minivan went off the road leading to the front tires being punctured as Robby and Johnny stay still
"That….didn't sound good" Robby cringed and Johnny himself only sighed

Seeing a bar across the street from him Miguel had let out a small sigh as he stuck his phone out before looking down at the map
This was the place the guy marked….granted the same guy did try to rob him ?
Shaking his head Miguel knew he had limited options so he just threw all caution away and went inside
Stepping inside the Mexican bar Immediately the smell of alcohol and Mexican music surrounded him leaving Miguel to just put his hands in his pockets with awkwardness as he stepped through the building, continuing his search for his Dad
"Aye Glacias Hector" Miguel heard a voice say Immediately catching his attention as it was followed up with laughter
"Hector ?..." Miguel mumbled before the following the voice into a small room of men playing Poker
Trying to get inside the room a man had only stopped Miguel telling him in spanish that the section was closed and the boss was Busy
"Pueblo, let the boy through" the man said and Miguel had only watched as the man soon let him inside allowing him to walk in
"Hola, hijo. No te he visto por aquí antes" (Hello son, I haven't seen you around here before)
Looking at the man with a big gulp Miguel spoke back
"Acabo de llegar a la ciudad... Su nombre es Miguel... ¿Diaz?" (I just got into town, Names Miguel…Diaz ?)
Letting the silence linger to see if the man would pick up on his name, the man had just stopped dealing his hand before looking up at Miguel
"Bueno, entonces es un placer conocerte, Miguelito" (Well, then it's a pleasure to meet you, Miguelito)
Letting out a small sigh Miguel shook his head
"Uh, ¿mi madre es Carmen Díaz...?" (Uh my mother is Carmen…Diaz ?)
Giving it another second to see if it would click in the man's head the man just shuffled his cards before responding
"tu anciana suena caliente" (Your old lady sounds hot) the man said making the other men around him laugh as Miguel just scrunched his hands
"Ella está de Ecuador ?" (She's from Ecuador ?)
Starting to become annoyed by Miguel's antics the man finally looked up at Miguel making the teen swallow his throat again
"¿Qué te pasa, eh? ¿Pierdes algunas células en tu cerebro? ¡Pueblo, saca a este tipo de aquí!" (What's wrong with you huh ? lose some cells in your brain ? Pueblo, get this guy out of here !)
Immediately putting a hand on Migue's shoulder Miguel just grabbed the man's arm putting him in an armlock hearing a slight snap that caused the man to yelp as he let go
Trying to strike at Miguel, Miguel only blocked his half strength swing before kicking his lower leg making the man drop to the floor
With a heavy laugh for the man the 3 other men playing poker around him got out of their seats
"¿Vas a dejar que un adolescente golpee a tu primo de esa manera?!" (You're gonna let a teenager beat up on your cousin like that ?!)
Pulling out a switchblade making Miguel's eyes go wide one of the men lunged at Miguel making him back up in the bar as he swung
The nearby locals getting a drink had only gotten down in fear as they watched Miguel grab the man's arms and stab the dagger into a nearby wooden table before kicking his knee making him drop to the ground where Miguel had just slammed his head on the table
Hearing a raging Yell coming at him Miguel had gotten down sweeping the man's leg making him fall before dodging the punch of the 3rd man
Grabbing a nearby beer glass Miguel smashed it into the man's head making him fumble before sending a knee to his chest knocking him through a wooden table
Seeing the man he leg sweep start to get up Miguel only rolled his eyes and groan before going over to him and smashing his head in the nearby ground knocking him out
Returning back to the small Room Miguel only found the man clapping his hands and laughing
"¡JA! eres un valiente Miguelín, ¿quieres una cerveza?" (HA ! you're a brave one Migulin, You want a beer ?)
"¡Quiero respuestas! Carmen y Rosa Díaz que conociste cuando viviste en Guayaquil ?!" (I want answers ! Carmen and Rosa Diaz you knew when you lived in Guayaquil ?!)
Letting out another laugh the man scratched his nose
"Mira hombrecito, tu fiesta es más valiente que la mayoría, pero yo no soy el hombre que buscas, y honestamente nunca he conocido a una puta Carmen en mi vida. Y puede que hayas golpeado a mi familia allí, pero yo te prometo que no me vas a golpear. Así que saca la mierda" (Look little man, your feisty and braver than most, But I'm not the man you're looking for, and quite honestly I've never known a fucking Carmen in my life. And you may have beat up on my family there, but I promise you, you're not gonna beat up on me. So get the fuck out)
With a scrunched hand and a glare on his face Miguel just took a deep breathe before letting it go, Reminding himself he wasn't here to get into Mexican fights, just to find his Dad
And as he looked around he could tell he wasn't here
So he did what he was taught to do….he left

"And we're just as proud to announce. We'll soon be opening Cobra Kai franchises throughout the entire Valley ! So every one of you young men and women here can be part of our championship Dojo and learn Cobra Kai's way of the fist !"
Showing Chozen Silver's speech he made about spreading Cobra Kai across the Valley after Cobra Kai won the All Valley Daniel had just paused the TV
"This is what we are up against" Daniel said leaving Chozen to nod his head with a scowl
"Terry Silver, This is how everyone sees him. Some kind of philanthropist out to save the kids of the Valley, But that's why you're here" Daniel stated as he looked at Chozen
"Me and Johnny tried to stop Cobra Kai on our own but nothing's worked. There's only one way to end this, We have to cut the head off the snake"
"Hai, Daniel-san" Chozen agreed
"I can do that" much to Daniel's eager as he was ready to go over the game plan but Chozen had just beat him to it pulling out a pair of Sai making Daniel's eyes go wide
"HEY ! Whoa ! Whoa ! no no no. I didn't mean literally cut his head off…..wellllll" Daniel just shook his head
"No no, not cutting"
"There not for cutting Daniel-San, They are for blocking, and stabbing, and clawing and gouging-"
"Ok ok, still, please put 'em away before Amanda sees them…ok ?"
Letting out a small sigh Chozen just placed the daggers back in his bag leaving Daniel to sigh reassuringly
"What I meant was we need to expose Silver for who he really is. Then his students will see the light, the problem is. Silver may be crazy, but he's not dumb, He's smart always thinks two moves ahead of everyone, You have to be careful with this guy Chozen"
Nodding his head Chozen only smirked
"No Daniel-San, He must be careful with THIS guy" Chozen growled making Daniel smirk more before turning his head to face the Screen
"Take me to Terry Silver"

Looking at the map in his hands with a sigh Miguel crumpled the paper up before throwing it away, letting out an annoyed sigh as it was basically useless
Miguel hadn't missed though when his phone started to ring and after digging in his pocket for it he soon saw Moon's contact calling him
With a raised eyebrow before soon growing a small smile Miguel answered
"...Moon ?...Hey"
"Hey stranger" she heard her laugh on the other end making him chuckle
"Hey…"
" I've been trying to call you for like the past couple of days now ? no answer ? I figured after you guys lost the tournament you wanted to be alone but I asked Sam and Hawk and Demetri and they said they haven't seen you since the Tournament ended. Is everything ok ?"
Looking at his surroundings of Mexico Miguel let out a small sigh, just scratching the back of his head before speaking
"Kinda…..I think….honestly not really"
Letting out her own form of a chuckle from the other end Moon spoke
"What does that mean ?"
Letting out another sigh Miguel dug his free hand in his pockets
"Remember when….we were talking at the after party…..and I mentioned my Dad ?"
"Yeah ?"
"well….I might've…..sorta…..kinda have…..bought a ticket to Mexico so that I could go and find him" Miguel admitted leaving Moon speechless as the only thing she could say was
"Oh…."
Letting some silence pass between them Moon spoke again
"So your-"
"In Mexico, right now. Which explains why I've been MIA from everyone" Miguel explained brining the silence back
"Well did you atleast find your Dad ?"
"Hector ! What are you doing ? That's Regelio's Job ?"
Shaking his head Miguel just turned around at the voice behind him, soon seeing a man dressed in white wipe his hands off as he was talking to another worker dressed in red
"Está muy cansado. Acaba de tener un bebé, tenemos que darle un respiro" (He 's really tired. He just had a baby we have to give him a break)
Seeing the conversation develop more Miguel gradually grew a small smile starting to block out Moon on the phone
"Moon I'm gonna have to call you back…"
"What ? Miguel, are you ok ?"
Looking at the worker call the man Hector again Miguel's smile only continued
"Yeah….yeah I think I am" he said before hanging up

Looking at the damaged and now flat tire Johnny and Robby groaned at their predicament
"Ok, minor setback" Johnny said with a clap of his hands
"I'm gonna get the lug wrench from the trunk, get this sucker back in action. We'll be back on the road in no time" Johnny said tapping Robby on his shoulder before heading to the trunk making Robby sigh as he was about to follow him before his phone started ringing
Grabbing it from his pocket Robby immediately smiled seeing it was Sam who was calling him leaving him not to hesitate to pick up with a smile
"Sam…hey !"
"Hey you" she chuckled back
"IS THAT SAM !" Robby heard Johnny say from the back of the trunk making both teens chuckle
"TELL HER I SAY HI !"
Rolling his eyes with a grin Robby spoke back to his phone
"Dad says Hi" Robby said hearing her chuckle again on the other line
"Sounds like the Father-Son Road Trip is coming along pretty great huh"
Looking at the flat tire they had before looking around their surroundings to see they were stuck in the dead middle of nowhere Robby just held in his breathe trying not to worry her too much
"It….could be better, but overall not to bad" Robby admitted
"Well that's great"
"How things back home…..I'm sorry I had to suddenly leave, god knows I have so much to make up for
"Hey, don't worry about that, ok, everyone will come around, Demetri already did and so did Nate…..well, I think they did, truth is….."
Hearing the small sigh Sam let out Robby just scrunched his eyebrow
"What's wrong ? Did something happen ?"
"...Dad closed Miyagi-Do" Sam told Robby leaving him speechless as his eyes just went wide
"Ohh…..god, Sam I'm….this is all my fault….I should've never left in the first place and went to Cobra Kai….GOD I'M SUCH AN IDIOT !"
BANG
Slamming his fist on the hood of the car Robby only heard Johnny yell after him
"CAREFUL WITH THE CAR ! IT'S A RENTAL !" he said not even showing his face as he was still occupied with the trunk
"Hey Robby, what happened at the tournament was not your fault" Sam said but still didn't make Robby think any differently
"If anything I'm as much to blame…"
"No Sam" Robby shook his head
"That's not true-"
"Isn't it ? I lost my fight against Tory…If I had just done my job and won we'd be having a very different conversation right now…."
Letting out his own hefty sigh Robby just looked at the bobble head Johnny gave him so that he could give to Sam
It only made him smile, he couldn't wait to get back to her
"Yeah well don't feel too bad, I lost my fight too remember, We both have something to be disappointed about ourselves" Robby said faintly hearing her Sam's chuckle through the phone
" Yeah….yeah we do"
"HEY ROBBY ! COME HERE WOULD YA !"
"IN A MINUTE !"
Letting out a small groan Robby could tell Sam was smiling on the other end
"sorry….I gotta go….Dads-"
"Being Johnny yeah, yeah I know" Sam teased on the other end making Robby smile
"Call me when you get home…..I love you"
Not being able to hide his smile Robby didn't fight that feeling in his gut
"I love you too, can't wait to see you"
"You too, bye"
"Bye babe"
Hanging up his phone Robby shook his head and smiled before going to the trunk where he found Johnny start to get fed up with his search
Searching the drunk now angrily Johnny could only groan as he flipped between all the junk in the backseat
"Ok where the hell did LaRusso hide the lug wrench"
With his arms folded Robby had only rolled his eyes before opening the compartment as he handed Johnny the tool
"Oh…."
"Yeah, I lived in here remember"
"Of course, I remember. I choose not to" Johnny said before walking over to their flat tire leaving Robby to just follow
"How'd you even get this car anyway ?" Robby asked as Johnny dropped to a kneel among the tires
"I went looking for you, after you went missing me and LaRusso tried to find you, we found this hunk of Junk instead" Johnny said as he started to turn the tire bolts with the wrench
"We found some pissant driving it. We chased him to a chop shop. Ended up fighting the douchebags that stole it"
Being left with just his thoughts of what Johnny told him Robby spoke out
"I…I had no idea"
Stopping the wrench turns Johnny let out a breath of hot air from his nose before sighing as he looked up at Johnny
"I know I haven't been there for you Robby, more times than I can count. But I've also failed Miguel….Hell I'm the reason he ran off in the first place" Johnny began as he got back to his feet to face his son
"I'm here trying to fix my mistakes, so I don't have to live with the regret. And if You're serious about making things right with everyone you wronged this past couple of months. You can start by helping Miguel, I know you have your fair share of regrets when it comes to him"
Johnny's words only left Robby to think about the school fight and kicking Miguel of the railing
"Alright I'm gonna go call Carmen. Finish taking these off will you"
Handing Robby the wrench Robby watched as Johnny walked a couple of feet and pulled out his phone leaving him to only sigh before squatting down to his knees as he got to work
The phone only rang twice before Carmen had picked up
"Johnny, Are you at the bus station yet ?"
Looking back at Robby taking out the screws of the tire Johnny had cringed
"Uh…we had a little car trouble. Be there in a few hours, any updates ? hear back from Miguel ?"
"No" Carmen shook her head as she paced back and forth in the living room
"But I heard from Sam that her friend Moon called him. He's ok"
Letting out a small relief of a smile Johnny nodded his head
"All right, That's great. Did she say where he's going ?"
"All she knows is Miguel hasn't found Hector….yet" Johnny heard her sigh as she finished her sentence
"I feel sick to my stomach, with Hector having no idea he has a son and Miguel not answering my calls….Maybe I should come down there Johnny"
"Woah, No, No. There's no reason to put yourself in any danger" Johnny said Immediately shutting down her idea
"Who knows what this Hector guy could do if he sees you again, it's under control, I'll find him I promise, it's gonna be ok"
Still not reassured until Miguel comes home Carmen let out a small sigh before nodding her head
"Ok…."
Finishing the last of the bolts Robby just had looked up at Johnny in wonder, It seems like he pissed something else as well with Carmen and Johnny

Watching all the people lineup eager for Cobra Kai's Grand opening at another location Daniel only shook his head as he continued to show Chozen just how bad Cobra Kai had their grip on the valley
"Look at that line, you'd think he was giving away Tesla's or something" Daniel remarked as he watched all the Cobra Kai Students like Kenny, Kyler, Piper, Big Red and Rickenberger in their new all black Training Gi's hand out slips for classes
"Picked a good location too. Lot's of foot traffic, Lot's of eyes to see, This is exactly what I was afraid of, Cobra Kai is enlisting kids who have no idea what they're getting into"
Squinting his eyes Chozen watched from the Window as Silver was sparring with some trainers, Daniel thought nothing of it. Thinking it was just some mindless practice but Chozen's eyes had only gone wide once he realized how Silver was fighting
"Daniel-San, Look…."
Gaining Daniel's attention Chozen has mumbled something in Japanese only adding more suspense
"Chozen what's wrong ? what is it ?"
"I have seen these moves before" Chozen said as he and Daniel continued to watch Silver fight
"You have ? where ?"
"Kim Sun-Yung…"
Thinking back on when Daniel had first met Silver his eyes only squinted in deep thought
"Wait, back it up ? That's a real person ? I thought it was just mambo-jumbo Silver had came up with" Daniel said but Chozen just shook his head all to seriously
"No, he is very, very real" Chozen stated leaving Daniel to look at Silver in wonder as he continued to pummel his trainer
"My Uncle Sato did not speak much of Kim Sun-Yung" Chozen said as now he and Daniel stood inside the home dojo at the LaRusso household Both dressed in their Gi's as Daniel continued to listen to Chozen
"But I know he had much anger towards him"
"Sounds like Sato" Daniel chuckled
"I don't think I ever remember Mr Miyagi ever mentioning Kim Sun-Yung ?"
"Miyagi-San left Okinawa before World War II, Kim Sun-Yung become known during Korean War. He taught many American soldiers"
Daniel just nodded his head in understatement
"Makes sense. Kreese and Silver are war buddies. What did he teach them ?"
"Uh, Kim Sun-Yung was a master of Tang Soo Do, But that is not what he taught…his style was, how do I put it. Controversial"
Giving Chozen a confused Look Daniel only asked
"What was Controversial about it ?" he said leaving Chozen to ponder and sigh before explaining
"I will demonstrate"
Taking a bow Daniel had done that same but Immediately Chozen struck at Daniel making his eyes go wide as he barely dodged
Blocking Chozen's high jab, Chozen had only grabbed Daniel by the neck and pinned him to the floor leaving Daniel to just gasp before Chozen helped him up
"ok….I can see how that's pretty Controversial" Daniel remarked feeling around his throat a little
"Kim Sun-Yung's style is based all upon deception. No Honor no Mercy"
"You could've just told me"
"If Silver is student of Master Kim. we must be careful Daniel-San, All direct attacks will be recognized" Chozen stated but Daniel had only shook his head
"I don't want to attack him, I want to expose him" Daniel said and Chozen had just walked up to Daniel nodding his head
"To Catch serpent, You must think like serpent. We will use his style against him"
"Well how are we gonna do that ?" Daniel asked and Chozen only smirked

Miguel had ended up following the man presumed to be his Dad
Not getting to close, only far enough to trail him which lead him to some type of party going on as he watched the man shake hands with people who seemed to have known him
Continuing his path diverge from the man. Miguel just continued to stare him down, walking along a different path from him but his eyes not being taken off as Miguel continued to look at him greet people
This could be his father….
He really could..
They had a similar build…same hair color….same sense of cheekbones….
Seeing him approach a woman, The man had kissed her making Miguel stop and flinch as he just licked his lips in thought. But a feeling in his chest had only grew once he saw a small boy holding a soccer ball approach him
Letting out a soft smile Miguel started to follow the small family closer now, watching as they walked through the mini mart
The little boy ended up with a ice cream in his hand as he started to kick his soccer ball but he ended up kicking it over to Miguel who just brought the ball up to him kicking it up before catching it as he watched boy walk over to him
Completely dumbfounded and shell shocked on what to say Miguel had just bent down so that he could softly talk to the boy
"Hey…uh, Hola…Mi nombre es Miguel ? y tu ?"
The boy didn't say anything just smiled and took his ball back that Miguel offered before a woman called his name causing him to run away back to the man who Miguel though to be his Father
Fixing his small smile Miguel had only secretly followed after them trying not to get to close

Kicking at their tire as they had arrived at where the Bus Stopped Robby Just looked at it with a satisfied smile. Seemed to have brought them here with no trouble
Looking down at his bag Robby left out a small sigh as he thought over his actions, yeah he wanted to leave, but if he thought over anything these past few hours it's that Johnny would be completely lost without him, and even though he wanted to do nothing more and go home, Miguel could rot in Mexico for all he cared….Johnny seemed pretty persistent with this
Looking over at his left he just saw Johnny making small talk with the locals. Learning more about where Miguel had went and about the Bus Schedule
"So the bus stops here ?" Johnny asked leaving the man who he was speaking to, to nod his head
"Yes Si"
"Ok. thank you"
Picking up his bag Robby met Johnny half way as he pulled out his wallet
"This will be enough for your ticket, and this is for drinks and snacks" Johnny said as he handed Robby some cash before walking away making him raise an eyebrow
"Where are you going ?"
"Ticket guy thinks he saw Miguel talking to these surfers. I'm going to go ask around" Johnny said as he looked around the beach before sighing
"Sorry I dragged you into this Robby" Johnny admitted before walking away leaving Robby to just lick his lips as he looked at his bag held within his hands
Walking down the beach Johnny had found the surfers
"Hey ! English ?" he said getting the attention of a guy with dirty blonde hair
"Australian mate"
"Close enough, I'm looking for a kid. 17 Ecuadorian, Slight build but we're working on that. Have you seen him around ?"
The man's face lit up as he looked back at his friends who only smiled
"Yeah, yeah, I gave him directions" he said much to Johnny's satisfaction
"Alright great, Can you tell me which way he went ?"
"Yeah, yeah, It'll be easier if I show ya, here. Got a map"
Snapping his fingers one of his friends came over giving him the map and Johnny had just leaned close looking at the directions
Unknown to him though one of the men had came behind Johnny trying to snake his wallet
Or so he thought as right before he grabbed the wallet Johnny had grabbed at the man's hand before twisting it putting him in an armlock
"That's a bad idea" Johnny said grabbing back his wallet before kicking him down to the ground
Looking back at the group of surfers Johnny sighed in annoyance
"All right, what's the scam ? Give me some bum address long enough, so that you can try to steal my wallet ?"
"No the address is real mate" the blonde surfer said as his friends started to circle around Johnny
"As for your money, I'm gonna end up with it either way mate, so we can either do it the easy way. Or the fun way"
"Alright listen asshole, you have five seconds to tell me which way that kid went, or I'm gonna take that surfboard and shove it so far up your ass, your friend there's gonna be surfing you" Johnny threatened making the blonde man laugh
"Ok then, the fun way"
"Yeah the fun way"
Not noticing the man Johnny had kicked had gotten up grabbing a nearby power line Robby had came out of nowhere drop kicking the man into a nearby tree before doing a kick up to get back to his feet with a smirk gaining everyone's attention
"By the fat ass print on your friends neck I can tell someone already kicked your ass already" Robby said as he got into his fighting position
"Don't worry, I used to know a couple of shit thieves as well"
Letting out his own proud smirk Johnny had quickly blocked the Australians punch before kicking him away as Robby blocked another one of the surfers ducking under their swing
Effortlessly dodging the man's punches Johnny had kicked the fallen man back down to the ground saving Robby, Before Robby kicked one of the surfers who were about to charge at Johnny
Blocking one of the surfers strikes Johnny just picked the smaller man up before flipping him down to the sand below and Robby had grabbed one of the surfers punches before kicking him in the gut soon flipping him to the ground below
Blocking a plethora of strikes from one of the surfers Johnny grabbed the man's arm and twisted it make him groan before Rooby soon came in smashing a skateboard across his face
One of the surfers had grabbed at Robby making him drop the board but it did him no good as Robby just gave the man a elbow to the gut before Johnny punched him in the face leading to the Australian slamming a surfer board across Johnny's back as Robby spinned kick the past surfer down onto the ground
Watching Johnny fight the Australian, Robby only cringed seeing Johnny punch the board making the Australian laugh but Johnny had soon kicked the board snapping it in half changing the man's expression before Robby came in delivering the final kick that knocked him down
Ending the fight by smashing their radio against his head Johnny huffed his breathe before Robby and Johnny soon looked at each other looking around at all the bodies they laid out
"Adios Dickheads"

Continuing his trail Miguel had turned and gotten to a point where they were not walking on the same street
He watched as the little boy started to bounce the ball on his knees the same way Miguel had done but the ball just ended up rolling onto the street
Immediately Miguel's eyes went wide seeing a incoming car approach the boy who didn't notice it
And soon enough the man and his assumed wife did as well quickly crying the boys name as Miguel had jumped in the street to save him from being run over as Miguel just pulled him back to the street for safety
Immediately the man and women had worried for the boy caressing his face and touching all over him for safety making sure he was fine as Miguel was just left speechless
Miguel watched as the man laid a kiss on the boys head before looking up at Miguel
"Gracias, Muchas gracias, lo que acabas de hacer fue increíble" (thank you, thank you so much what you just did was incredible)
shrugging it off like it was nothing Miguel just licked his lips in pure thought as the man had spoken to him
This could be his dad….he could've just saved his….
Brother….
"Fue... nada, solo estuve aquí en el momento adecuado, eso es todo" (It was...nothing I was just here at the right time that's all)
Looking at Miguel in confusion the man titled his head
"¿De dónde es tu acento?" (where's your accent from ?) he asked making Miguel's blood run cold as he just started to think
"Soy americano" (I'm American) Miguel answered truthfully making the man laugh
"Ah, Entonces, we are lucky our paths crossed" the man said changing from spanish to English
"ye-yeah…I-I guess so"
"Tú salvaste a mi hijo. Eres un héroe, Tú salvaste a mi hijo. Eres un héroe " (You saved my son. You're a hero how can we repay you ?) the woman told Miguel making him scoff joyfully
"No no no-"
"por favor Cene con nosotros" (Please have dinner with us)
Again Miguel shook his head
"No, no-"
"Please, we insist, it's the least we can do" the man said and looking down at the boy who just eagerly nodded his head Miguel only smiled soon caving
"Ok…ok" Miguel said making the family smile before the man gave out his hand
"Oh, uh, I'm Hector Salazar" he said shaking Miguel's hand
"Uhhh, I'm Miguel…Di-...Just Miguel"
"Hhem it's wonderful to meet you Miguel"
Looking at the man Miguel smiled and nodded his head
"Yeah…yeah it's nice to meet you too"
Dad….

Placing their cold cokes up to their faces Johnny and Robby only groaned both they both took sips from their glasses leaving Johnny to sigh
"This trip was a disaster from the jump" Johnny said making Robby look at him
"You're right. It was a mistake to bring you"
Giving it some thought Robby Immediately shook his head
"No it wasn't, Okay I mean some of it wasn't so great. Technically you kidnapped and transported a minor across the border" Robby said in a small chuckle making Johnny chuckle as well and shake his head
"But we got a good story out of it" Robby said leaving Johnny to just look at him with a small smile
"Yeah….yeah we did….your bus will be here soon, you should go. This is my mess to clean up anyway"
Looking back at his bag Robby let out a small sigh before looking down at his coke bottle with a smile
"You're right but….I'm gonna stay" Robby said leaving Johnny to look at him once more
"I'm trying to make things right and I got a long list of people I need to do it with, the best person I can start with is you and Miguel. Plus X marks the spot right, now we know where we are going"
Holding up the map with his own smirk Johnny just pulled his son in close with a shared laugh as they clinkled coke bottles
Here's the start to a truly mending relationship

"Today is a turning point at Cobra Kai Our Competition has closed up shop and the Valley now looks at us to lead the way"
Locking up the gates to Miyagi-Do tightly Daniel gave the dojo one final sad look, thinking back to all the memories and time shared as he tapped on the gate with a final sigh as he put the tarp over the Miyagi-Do sign before heading into his car
"We have a long road ahead of us, But this is just the beginning"
Eating the bag of Mexican Candy Johnny had bought Robby smiled before leaning the bag to Johnny offering him some as well that he took as he continued to drive
"Right now, we're strangers. But I can tell you, we won't be strangers for long, This is the start of something special"
Sharing a laugh with the people he just met today Miguel had smiled softly, looking at them all as his phone began to ring, getting his attention. Seeing Hawk, Demetri and Sam's contact pop in a group call. Miguel looked up at the people he sat with before hanging up putting his phone on silent before going back to laughing
"For everyone else it's summer vacation. But for us the real work is about to begin"
Walking out to the Pool Amanda had only smiled to find Daniel holding a Mai Tai as he had waited for her by the pool
"Cobra Kai now has more students than ever before. That means we'll need more senses I'm going to ask you to do more than what's expected which means I'm going to pay more than what expected but first it was prove yourself in The Way of the Fist it's time to see if you were Worthy"
"HAI !"
Walking past his line of Sensei's Silver looked directly at Chozen
"Welcome to Cobra Kai"
