"Ready ?"
"Let's Begin !"
Looking at one another in complete confusion everyone just held the same question in their minds as they looked at their now Two Sensei's
"Begin what ? Exactly…"Demetri asked in complete confusion and Johnny and Daniel just looked at one another in similar curiosity as well as they too didn't know what they were beginning
"The Start of a new Era" Daniel stated confidently
"Many of us used to be enemies" Daniel had said leaving Hawk and Demetri to just look at one another
"But rivalries…don't need to last forever" Now it was Daniel and Johnny's turn to face each other
"The All Valley Tournament is just a few months away, and this year, the stakes are higher than they've ever been. We know that Cobra Kai is gonna use every dirty trick in the book. There is only one way we're going to be able to beat them-"
"BY KICKING THEIR ASSES SO HARD THEY SHIT THEMSELVES !" Johnny had interrupted cutting off Daniel completely as he just looked at him while Johnny continued the speech
"WE GOTTA TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL ! GONNA TEACH YOU AN AGGRESSION STRONGER THAN ANYTHING COBRA KAI CAN EVEN THROW AT US ! THEY STRIKE FIRST ! WE'LL PRE-STRIKE !-"
"Ok, ok, we're getting ahead of ourselves. We are going to respond to what they do" Daniel stated now interrupting Johnny so that he could he could take the lead back but Johnny only continued
"EAGLES DO NOT RESPOND ! THEY SWOOP DOWN AND TAKE WHATEVER THEY WANT !" He said making all the Eagle Fang's nod their heads in eager while the Miyagi-Do's were left confused
"AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO ! TAKE BACK THE VALLEY !-"
"Take it back in a measured and organized approach-"
"WE BITE FIRST !" Johnny said making Daniel sigh he gave up Johnny was just gonna continue weather he liked it or not
"IF WE'RE HUNGRY ! WE'RE GONE EAT ! IF WE'RE TRIED ! WE'RE GONNA SLEEP ! IF WE HAVE TO TAKE A SHIT ! WE-"
"Ok, ok, ok, Let's just warm up with some simple exercises" Daniel said cutting off Johnny before anything else he wanted to say could continue
"EVERYONE LINE UP !" Johnny ordered leaving both the Miyagi-Do's and Eagle Fang's to get into two rows
"Ok, everyone just breath and follow me" Daniel said before soon enough he along with the other Miyagi-Do's had begun doing their breathing techniques leaving Johnny to just look at him in perplexion
"Fighting positions !" Johnny yelled as now The Eagle Fang's had gotten into their own fighting positions
"Right Leg back ! Front Kick Ready ! HI-YAH !" He said before soon enough Mitch had accidently Kicked Nate making him drop to the grass ground
"OH SHIT ! Nate…I'm sorry" Mitch had apologized and Johnny and Daniel just looked at one another before sighing
This is gonna be harder than they thought
.

"Ready. Fight !" Johnny said Before Mitch and Bert had started going at each other leaving everyone to watch as they were only throwing blows back and forth with no sense of defense
"THAT'S IT ! YES ! GO FOR THE TEETH !" Johnny shouted leaving Daniel to just look at him in concern before Immediately stepping in between Bert and Mitch
"HEY HEY ! You guys are just swinging at each other !" he said breaking up the fight before looking at Johnny
"Don't you teach any defense ?"
"The Best Defense is more Offense" Mitch said before Bert had kicked him in the rib and then in the chest knocking Bert into the giant Rock behind him
"Why do you have a rock in the middle of your dojo ?" Johnny said leaving Daniel to just roll his eyes
When it was up for Daniel's combat training everyone watched as Sam and Demetri had circled one another over and over not making an attack which caused Johnny to just roll his eyes in annoyance but Daniel had nodded his head as this was exactly what he wanted
"That's it guys, keep circling. Don't Anticipate let it come to you" Daniel said but Johnny couldn't take this ballroom dancing anymore
"Alright, one of you do something already, What the hell is this ?"
"Yeah that's not really how this works. One of us has to be provoked" Demetri stated but Johnny just Immediately threw his empty water bottle at Demetri's head making everyone jump while Demetri groaned and rubbed his head
"You provoked yet ?"
Leading the students to the lot the Miyagi-Do's had done their fundamentals of Wax on Wax off scrubbing down the cars and making them shine
"Remember Wax on Wax off it doesn't matter how many times you've done it you always need to practice your fundamentals" Daniel said as he observed his students
"That's right, clean it good !" Johnny said as he leaned against his van looking at his Eagle Fang Students cleaning the car in a uncoordinated pace just cleaning it anyway
"I Want it to look brand-spanking-new, Get all the cans out of there. You find any loose change, it belongs to me"
Daniel had only shook his head in disagreement as he watched Johnny's very Unorthodox Training
"Come on, you maggots ! Faster !" Johnny yelled as later in the day he watched as the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students had began training his way with an obstacle course that included Sam running around Barrels lit on fire, Miguel kicking Truck tires and Chris spinning himself with a baseball bat
"COME ON FASTER YOU PUSSIES !"
"Johnny come on, we're gonna get sued here…" Danielsaid but the Blonde just waived his hand carelessly
"Ahh Sue me for what"
"Ohh….man, I think I'm about to barf…" Chris said before running to a boat making Daniel's eyes go wide
"NO NOT THE BOAT ! MAN CHRIS NOT THE BOAT !" Daniel shouted as he ran towards him leaving Johnny to just cringe acting like he didn't see it
"FIGHT !" Johnny said leaving Hawk and Mitch to spar one another inside the Miyagi-Do Dojo
Everyone watched as Hawk's kick was blocked by Mitch before punching him in the face then the gut leaving Daniel to only flinch as the two boys continued to go back and forth
Back and forth the two went before soon enough Hawk's foot had went through the sliding wooden food of the Dojo making Daniel groan
"shit…Sorry Mr LaRusso" Hawk apologized before brining his foot out but that still hadn't brought down his anger
"SEE THIS IS WHY WE DON'T SPAR IN HERE !" Daniel groaned but Johnny had just clapped his hands getting ready for the next match
"Alright who's next" he said and Daniel just shook his head

"Tory I need you to understand !-"
"NO !"
THUD
"Kreese is not the guy you think he is !-"
"GET OFF OF ME !"
THUD
"If you stay in Cobra Kai you're gonna be a worse version of yourself !-"
"I SAID LET ME GO !"
"Tory I'm doing this because I love you-"
"ELI ! I SAID LET ME GO !"
THUD
Punching the Bag so hard until her knuckles were practically shaking Tory tried to ease the pain
I didn't work…..
She still thought about him
The face of realization she made when he told her he switched sides….
THUD
Him lying to her saying he'd be there when she needed him !
THUD
HE JUST THREW AWAY EVERYTHING THEY HAD AND FOR WHAT ! TO JOIN THE PRINCESS AND HER ENTOURAGE OF PUSSIES !
THUD THUD THUD
Striking her fist so hard Tory's hand literally when through the Bag and she had only groaned in annoyed anger as she pulled her hand back
But when she did the first thing that caught her eye was the Queen Cobra Tattoo on her wrist….
Immediately her hand went up to her neck as she softly started to touch the golden necklace Hawk gave her when they had gotten the shared Tattoos.
"I know you said you didn't want my sympathy...this is just purely a gift, whatever you want to do with it is your choice….I just wanted you to know that I'm always gonna be there for you whenever you need me. Whatever the situation is…."
"That was a fucking lie" Tory mumbled before the sound of Kyler's irritating voice had brought her out of her own head as she had looked up from her wrist to hear him speaking while everyone was just laughing
"Yo, I'm telling you, man, When I get to ASU, Honeys gonna be lining up for this snack, know what I mean" he said and Tory had only rolled her eyes while the other Cobra Kai's just laughed
Knowing she had enough of this she began to walk over to them while Kyler continued
"Anyways, my dad, he wants me to go to Harvard, But I keep telling him ASU's like the Hardvard of the west coast-"
"You guys are fucking pathetic !" Tory bit causing Kyler to just roll his eyes and groan before turning to look at her
"If you'd handled your business, we would have won that fight" She said practically snarling
"Ok, whatever. That's not our fault. YOUR MAN ! switched sides. What do we do when the top dog suddenly starts beating on us"
"Yeah and Miguel just got out of a wheelchair and still kicked your ass !" Tory bit causing Kyler to go silent
With a scoff Troy rolled her eyes
"Hawk was right you aren't Cobra Kai material" she said before turning around ready to walk away
"You still gone defend yo man even after he switched up on us ?!" he said leaving Tory to stop and turn around and face him once more
"At least we still here, HALF THE TEAM QUIT !" Kyler exclaimed leaving Tory to look around and noticed the emptier and lighter class then what they would usually have. After the House fight a lot of Members left leaving just now the select view they had
And Tory had to admit it wasn't much
Hell it wasn't anything
With the sound of the Dojo's Bell chime Robby had came into the Dojo Immediately gaining bad looks
His reputation with Cobra Kai was already shot after ditching the House fight but now with the growing tension and Half the team leaving Especially Hawk they saw Robby as nothing more than an outcast
"Well, look who showed up" Tory growled angrily him but that didn't stop Robby from moving to the back room but not before he heard Kyler's comments about him

Kreese noticed his lack of speaking with the others as well which had only led him to the backroom to find Robby packing his stuff
"You're late" he said causing Robby to look at him before returning to pack his things
"I'm not here for practice" Robby said still mindlessly packing
"We'll if you wanna be Cobra Kai-"
"I'm gonna stop you right there" Robby said as he finally stopped packing to stand and look Kreese dead in his eyes with a scowl
"I never said I was joining. I just needed a place to crash. And I know Cobra Kai helped when I was getting Jumped in Juvie, and I appreciate your help with that. But I'm not gonna be some pawn in this bet you've made with my Dad and Mr LaRusso" Robby said leaving Kreese silent as he went back to grab his bag
Licking his lips Kreese had only rubbed his chin before speaking
"Are you saying this because you're scared of hurting the LaRusso girl ?"
Immediately Robby's blood ran cold as the grip on his Bag Immediately dropped leaving Robby to jump up to his feet before marching towards Kreese with a locked Jaw
"Don't !" Robby Immediately said
Unknown to both Robby and Kreese Tory was peeking inside to spy on their conversation as it only continued
"Because it's your fault in the first place she came here with those bruises on her face !"
Only examining his tight and anger filled scowl Kreese smirked at his showing emotion
"When I was deployed to Vietnam All I only thought about was one thing" he said as he looked at Robby
"Coming home" He admitted
"Returning to the life I lived…But it wasn't for what you think it was. It wasn't for the grueling hours I worked to support my Mother who ended up killing herself, Or getting picked on at School for the words that were spread about me…..It was for a woman" Kreese said making both Robby and Tory's faces drop as their demeanor had done a total 180
"Betsy….." Kreese sighed looking away at Robby for a moment before he continued
"She was all I thought about that kept me going, She was my reason to fight my Why ?" Kreese asked himself as he turned to face Robby again
" I fought to try and end the war, For her. I knew she deserved a better life and I knew I was the one that had to give it to her" Kreese stated before putting his hand on Robby's shoulder
"Our paths only align, we fight for the same reason. We fight to end the fight so that we can go home and see the women we both love. Don't you see, we only help each other in this" Kreese said leaving Robby to think
"You help me defeat your father and Daniel LaRusso you end the fighting you end the war. You force them to stop fighting and you make sure that YOUR WOMAN….No longer has to have a scratch on her pretty little face again"
Finishing his speech both Robby and Tory were left with Kreese's words lingering in their heads, the case he made. To end the war you have to rid the enemy of their weapon to wage it
For the people they loved
Tory had looked down at the Tattoo on her wrist and she could only think of Hawk
"I don't think of you as a Pawn, I think of you as a King, A Champion. Someone with something to prove and your Father couldn't see that and instead of coming back to us, he choose Diaz and left that mark on your head"
"...yeah well they have a pretty good chance of winning now that He and Mr LaRusso have teamed up" Robby admitted but Kreese only shook his head with a smirk
"There not the only ones teaming up" Kreese stated and with that he left Robby to only think as he headed towards the exit quickly making Tory gasp before ducking into the Hallway's bathroom so that she couldn't be caught
Clenching his fist tightly Robby had closed his eyes and sighed before thinking about everything he was just told

Using His keys to unlock the front door Daniel had Immediately caused an alarm to go off once he and Sam stepped In Immediately making him groan as he went to disable it
Pressing a hefty series of buttons the device went off and Daniel Immediately turned back and apologized
"Sorry Sorry" he sighed Immediately finding Amanda coming in with a baseball bat alongside Anthony behind her with his Ipad
"I-I'm stilling getting used to the code" Daniel said as Sam closed the door behind them
"This new alarm system sucks" Anthony said "You should've sprung for the one with facial recognition like I suggested"
Picking up her ringing phone Amanda had Immediately answered the call placing her bat down on the ground as she leaned on it
"Hi yes, This is Amanda LaRusso…mhm yeah sorry it was a false alarm….Uh yes password is "Outlander"...Ok thank you…" Amanda said before hanging up leaving everyone to just sigh
This was their life now
.
.
.
.
.
.

Pouring Amanda a glass of wine before pouring his own Amanda had just stirred the glass cup and sighed
"I am trapped, Daniel" Amanda had admitted as Daniel took a seat next to her with his own glass
"I thought the new security system would make me feel safer…But it's just putting me more on edge, Those little Cobra Kai Shits oughta be locked up. You know that one student you have, With the 2009 Mohawk on his head….he smashed a kids head with the Vase your Mom gave me on my Birthday…..fitting he's with that Psycho Tory…..If anyone deserves no mercy it's her"
"If you want to, Honey, we could still go to the police ?" Daniel stated but Amanda just shook her head
"We've already been through this..Sam doesn't need to go through all this again and our Business can't survive another PR nightmare"
"Look I know things are less than Ideal" Daniel said reaching out to her but Amanda had only looked at Daniel with a raised eyebrow
"A small boy was thrown through our window ?" Amanda said pointing to the now wooden slab covering it "and an even larger one was tackled through the Patio window" Amanda had added on leaving Daniel to just sigh as he saw the bigger slab covering where the glass was broken
"Daniel, If you would have told me a year ago that our families safety depended on winning a karate tournament. I would've thought you were joking…but here we are Living in the Twilight Zone" She said before taking a sip of her glass
"Amanda I want things to go back to normal too…But if Johnny and I just actually work together it gives us the best shot to put an end to all this"
"So how did it go with Captain Eagle Claw ?" she asked leaving Daniel to only sigh
"You know what at least we haven't beat each other up yet"
"Oh ! you know what that's progress" Amanda stated before the two simply touched glasses in small celebration leaving her to stare into the abyss
"...Do you really think Kreese is gonna shut down Kobra Kai if he loses ?"
"Oh he's gonna loose" Daniel reassured confidently
"We got LaRusso 2.0 fighting for us" Daniel said making Sam look up from her laptop as he continued
"And once he loses it won't matter if he won't go through with his promise or not because everyone in the Valley with see that Cobra Kai doesn't work…especially Robby"
Biting her lip in thought Sam's mind had just run rampant in thoughts…..Seeing Robby in that Cobra Kai Gi still keeps her up at Night It's like she replaced one demons with another, First it was her PTSD with Tory not it was knowing she'd inevitably have to face Robby in the tournament
She was confident she's win the whole the thing but there was still a burning question seeped deep in her mind
Was she gonna be able to fight him ?

Adding the finishing touches of pepper to the food Johnny had brought the plate of Mexican food to the table Miguel, Carmen and Miguel's grandmother sat
"Dinner is served" Johnny announced making them all smile as he placed the food down at the middle of the table
"All right tonight's main course is fajitas and grilled vegetables I have pico de gallo and corn and flour tortillas"
"Wowwwww. This looks Delicious, Johnny" Carmen had smiled
"Thanks I got the recipe off the Chili's website. Wanted it to be Authentic" he admitted making Miguel's grandma smirk
"Auténtico para quién? Somos ecuatorianos, no mexicanos ?" She said leaving Carmen and Miguel to just laugh
"Here, try this" Johnny said as he offered the older woman a bottle of Salsa
"Spicy Mango" He said before he started pouring the sauce on her plate
"Uh ! Gracias !" she said stopping Immediately
"Soooo, How was the big first day ?" Carmen asked leaving Johnny and Miguel to look at one another with a look before Johnny spoke
"Uh…it was the first day, work in progress…"
"I'm Happy you and Daniel are working together. I just want to make sure Miggy is safe"
"Don't worry Mom" Miguel reassured
"My back is in better shape than ever, I've been consistent with the pills Ali gave me and she's still keeping up with me Online…You don't have to worry"
"She's your mom she's always going to worry" Johnny said scooping the food before looking at Carmen
"But don't worry, I'm watching him" he said leaving Carmen to just smile
"Entonces Mijo, dime cómo te gusta hacer Karate con tu novia. ¿Disfrutáis del combate uno contra uno? !" she said ending with her fist pounding for emphasis making Miguel only cringe as he grew red while Carmen had smiled towards him
"Yeah, how is it Miggy ? I'm glad you and Sam are back together, she's cute"
Digging his fork at his plate Miguel let out an awkward sigh
"...Me and Sam aren't together…." he admitted making both their faces drop
Carmen had looked at Johnny in confusion but he just looked back at her with food in his mouth
"What happened ? After Johnny told me you two saved the Tournament together I thought forsure you guys were back together ?"
"...So did I…." Miguel sighed before shaking his head redirecting some of the tension to Johnny
"But I wasn't the only one huh Sensei ?" Miguel had smirked making Johnny's eyes go wide "he had a date with Ali huh. The one that got away, THE Ali Ms lover of your life"
"Ohh….is that right ?" Carmen said but Johnny had Immediately shook his head
"It wasn't a date-"
"Oh he's being modest, We spent that entire day setting up your Facebook, took cool pictures, she was totally impressed. He had to look special for the lady and it clearly worked, You should tell them about the Sushi"
"We don't have to talk about it" Johnny said trying to give the Miguel the hint to knock it off but it didn't work
"I don't know why he's being shy right now so I'll tell it. Look, we went to the Sushi spot because Ali likes sushi, or so we thought. We got got the Dragon roll…."

Well Miguel had ruined any form of Romance Johnny had set up tonight as now he and Carmen were awkwardly washing dishes next to one another in nothing but complete silence
"It's not like that you know" Johnny stated as he washed the last plate and gave it to Carmen so that she could dry
"We're just old friends catching up"
"Ok…." Carmen had said making Johnny sigh
"Carmen, on the night of what happened at the LaRusso house, I was coming to see you to-"
"Johnny…..I think it's better that we don't rush into anything" Carmen admitted making Johnny's face drop
"With everything that's happening and everything that's still happening….I-I- I think we should give it some time. Let you and Miguel focus on training" she said before putting a bowl down leaving Johnny to sigh
"Is that ok with you ?..."
No not at all
"Yeah" Johnny said with a fake smile "Totally…we'll give it some time" he said and Carmen had nodded her head with a smile before leaving his apartment and when she did Johnny couldn't help but aggressively throw the sponge into the soapy water

"Sensei Lawrence and I have the same goal of preparing you for the tournament" Daniel said as both he and Johnny looked at the group of students before them
"But we have different ways of getting you there" Johnny added
"We realize that teaching you opposing viewpoints at the same time can be a little confusing" Daniel said leaving the Miyagi-Do's to just groan as they all rubbed their injures from previous training
"So we've discussed it and come up with a solution, We're gonna divide and conquer" Johnny said leaving now all the students in a mix of concern and confusion while Johnny had just continued
"Eagle Fang trains out front !"
"And I'll be back here with the Miyagi-Do's"
"Wait, I thought we were stronger working together ?" Miguel said already hating this idea with a passion but Daniel had just waved him off
"We're still working together"
"Just separately" Johnny added "on opposite ends of the Dojo"
"You do know what you just said is an Oxymoron right ?" Demetri said but Johnny just picked up a water bottle and threw it at him again making Demetri groan
"All right, Eagles follow me !"
"Miyagi-Do's right over here"
With uncertainty and heavy confusion all the students looked at one another in dismay sad to be splitting up after they thought to be a joined alliance
Chris and Mitch had sadly fist bumped before splitting apart
Bert and Nate even gave each other a hug before going their separate ways
Miguel and Sam watched as Hawk and Demetri did their special best friend handshake before dividing
With a sigh Miguel shook his head
"So I'll just….see you after class huh…." Miguel asked and Sam had nodded her head before soon enough they too split apart leading Miguel to go out front with the other Eagle Fangs
"Alright everyone Fall in !" Johnny ordered leaving his students to lineup before him
"Hawk" Johnny said getting his attention
"Since, you're new to Eagle Fang, come on up"
"Yes Sensei !" Hawk responded with a Bow before walking to him but right when he did Johnny had quickly swept his legs making him fall to the ground with a very painful groan
"What the heck !" Hawk said in confused anger but Johnny showed no sign of remorse
"Today we're gonna practice our front sweeps, On Hawk"
Getting up from the ground Hawk had wiped the dust off of him before groaning
"Ok, Look. I know I was a Dick, and I'm sorry. I've apologized like a million times by now to everyone here-"
"Nah" Miguel said cutting him off with a scowl as he gained both Johnny and Hawk's attention
"You still got a lot to make up for and your not even close to starting"
Hawk sighed
"Miguel-" He tried before being interrupted with a front sweep from Miguel knocking him to the ground again
"AW COME ON !"

With a groan Robby continued to bench the weights above him as music played in the background to drown his thoughts out
Kreese's words continued to play throughout his head like an endless loop of a song so much that Robby found himself in the Gym to try and get his mind back
It wasn't working
Unknown to him though Tory had came in looking down upon him with a smirk
"You're supposed to have someone spot you"
Robby rolled his eyes
"I don't need any help" He said before bringing the weights up so that he could re rack them
With a faint chuckle Tory laughed
"Yeah, that seems to be your motto, isn't it ? your catphrase. The lone wolf who doesn't need anyone"
She looked around the backroom before seeing Robby grab a water bottle
"Looks like you've upgraded from running away to hiding"
"I'm not hiding" Robby said but Tory scoffed
"Could've fooled me I don't remember seeing you at that fight-"
"What were you even thinking ?" Robby Immediately growled
"That you'd break into Sam's House, beat her and everyone up and everything would be sunshine and rainbows, You're lucky the LaRusso's didn't call the cops"
Tory had only glared at Robby for a second before laughing
"Wowwwww…..God your Pathetic. If your just gonna stay on defense then this isn't the Dojo for you" she said leaving Robby to only roll his eyes while Tory had just ran her finger across the barbell
"Even after everything little miss Samantha LaRusso has done to you, she still has you wrapped around her pretty little finger ready to make you jump at a moments notice-"
"Oh please cut the bullshit, we both know I'm not the only love sick one here" Robby bit making Tory go quiet
"I know Hawk switched sides mid fight. You should hate his guts for it-"
"I do !" Tory suddenly yelled as that look in her eyes had returned but Robby only chuckled not believing her
"Oh yeah, that's why you still have that necklace around your neck and that Tattoo on your arm" Robby stated Immediately making Tory touching the golden necklace with her fingers
With a scoff and an eye roll Robby just grabbed his towel ready to be done with this conversation
"Make fun of me all you want for not being able to let go, But don't turn around and do the same when we both share the same situation" Robby growled before soon enough he made his leave, leaving Tory to clench her teeth in anger as she was left alone with just her thoughts

"We all have anger inside" Daniel said calmly as he looked at all the Miyagi-Do's
Gathering together inside the Dojo Daniel thought it was good to start the day with a little Meditation to clear the mind before they started training
"I want you to let it go, don't let your emotions control you, you have to be the one in control. Everyone close your eyes and relax"
Finishing his speech everyone had taken a deep breath and closed their eyes as they started to mediate
"Stop whining like a little bitch ! get up" Everyone heard Johnny yell causing them to drift from distraction
"Stay Focused, eyes closed, Breath in…Breath out" Daniel said keeping his students on track
"Don't be a pussy ! Punch him in the face ! he'll heal ! it's just a busted lip !" Chris heard Johnny yell breaking his concentration as he Immediately began to laugh
"Try not to be distracted, stay focused-"
"You punched him in the balls ! What the hell is wrong with you !"
Ok that's it this isn't gonna work
Seeing all the Miyagi-Do's laughing Daniel just sighed as he got up
"Wait right here" Daniel said and right when he closed the sliding door everyone bursted out into tears of laughter letting out everything they were holding in
Daniel had walked outside to see both Mitch and Miguel kicking Hawk in the stomach making him groan in pain
"YES ! RIGHT IN THE GUT ! GREAT JOB GUYS !"
"Sensei Lawrence" Daniel said getting Johnny's attention
"Yes sir !"
"May I have a word with you ?" he asked and Johnny had only looked at his students and bit his lip in thought before nodding his head
"Alright everyone take five" He told the Eagle Fang's before looking at Hawk
"Walk it off. We're back in five" he told him making Hawk groan and roll his eyes before Johnny left with Daniel
"Looking good guys ! Looking good !"
Taking Johnny to the back Dojo of Miyagi-Do Daniel had Immediately turned to the blonde and sighed annoyingly
"Could you keep it down ? I'm trying to teach here"
"Keep it down ? what Do you want me to whisper ? Karate's a loud sport"
"I can't train my students ! if you're shouting obscenities ! while beating Hawk into the ground !"
"Obscenities ?! What kinda shit is that !" Johnny said leaving Daniel confused if Johnny had asked a question or just didn't know what Obscenities meant
Limping into the inside of the Dojo Hawk had groaned with pain running through his voice as he headed to his backpack
"Walk it of….I'm trying my best here" He sighed before bending down to grab a water bottle
But while he took a sip Hawk noticed a painting on the wall catching his eyes, The painting had two men fighting atop a stage while a group of monks watched from down below
"You know that's the sparring where Mr Miyagi's great-grandfather taught Karate on the Okinawan waterfront" Demetri stated getting Hawk's attention as he walked in the roo,
With a small smile Hawk had just touched the painting in complete awe
"Mr Miyagi sounded like a Badass" Hawk said and Demetri had only nodded his head in a small smile
But the mutual feelings didn't last long as Chris had soon come into the room shocked when he saw Hawk touching the painting
"Yo ! yo ! be careful with that !" Chris said as he immediately removed Hawk's hand off the painting
With a smirk Hawk replied
"Why, you think I'm gonna break it ?"
"Shit, you already broke a door and Demetri's arm. And you stole Mr Miyagi's medal so yeah. I do think you're gonna break it" Chris said tearing Down's Hawk's smirk
"You also beat the shit out of me and trashed our Dojo" Nate added making Hawk lick his lips in regret
"Guys…I can't stress this enough I'm really sorry…..I don't know how many times I have to apologize-"
"Not enough. You think saving us in a fight that your crazy ass girlfriend started means we're good ?" Chris said cutting him off
"Go back with your little Eagle Gang man, you not wanted here"
Looking at Demetri for some sort of help his best friend had just sighed and that was all Hawk needed before he too let out his own sigh before leaving the Dojo and walking right into Daniel and Johnny's argument
"This was always gonna be a disaster ! wasn't it" Daniel shouted making Johnny laugh
"Everything's a disaster with you !" Johnny said before leaving the conversation but not before Daniel paused and looked at him in anger
"What ?! Me ?!"
"Hey Mr LaRusso…can we talk ?" Hawk asked
Hawk knew Mr LaRusso would be understanding, He was supposed to be the calm enlightened Sensei right ? the person you go to when you have problems and he can give you wisdom and guidance when you need it…
But when Daniel had just turned to look at Hawk with leftover anger in his eyes Hawk swallowed a lump in his throat knowing he choose a bad time
"What ?" he asked already annoyed leaving Hawk to consider taking back this choice
"...I Don't think I know where I fit in here…I mean-"
"Well what did you expect ?! You burned bridges with pretty much everyone here ! You smashed my wife's Vase against one of my students' heads ! you mentally, emotionally and physically scarred everyone in Miyagi-Do. What did you think was gonna happen ? You were just gonna join the team and act like everything was fine ?"
Immediately when the words came out his mouth Daniel had regretted them but the damage was already done and it was shown on Hawk's face as he had Immediately began to walk away leaving Daniel to groan
"Dammit Johnny ! Hey ! Hey ! Wait !" Daniel shouted trying to stop Hawk but it didn't work
Both Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang had came to the front of the Dojo to see what the commotion was about but Johnny only groaned once he saw Hawk walking away from him and not getting back into the lesson
"Great nice job Mr Defense ! The hell did you do ? He's one of our best fighters !"
"What did I do ! I'm not the one who's been kicking his ass all day !"
"We're training for the All valley. Not some Yoga competition !"
"Don't disrespect my Dojo in front of your students !" Daniel yelled only fueling their argument as Johnny had just scoffed
"Don't tell me how to run my class ! I'll do whatever the hell I want !" Johnny argued back with a pointed finger as he walked away but Daniel was only quick to follow him not ending the argument
"Hey ! as long as you're under my roof they are both our students !"
"Yeah ! What roof ! we're outside !"
Sam and Miguel only looked at each other before shaking their heads as they knew this wasn't gonna work but the worst part was. They didn't know how to fix it…..

Angrily throwing his water bottle on the ground Hawk had grabbed his helmet off the throttle of his motorcycle before climbing atop it. But before he could put the helmet on a voice caught his attention stopping him
"Hey !" Sam said making Hawk turn his head to face her
Rolling his eyes Hawk put the helmet back on the throttle before getting off the bike
"What ? you got something to say now" Hawk said watching her stop once she came face to face with him
"Well don't bother alright, I'm leaving. You won" He admitted ready to climb his back once more but Sam just shook her head and scoffed
"What, so you're just quitting ?! now that we need you more than ever"
"I didn't ask to be a part of this !" Hawk Immediately snapped looking back at Sam
"Even if I did, everyone here has made it visibly clear that I'm not worth the time. Miguel, Demetri, Chris, Mr LaRusso, Sensei Lawrence. No matter how many times I apologize everyone still thinks I'm an asshole"
"Well can you blame them ! you did a lot of messed up shit !" Sam yelled back leaving Hawk to groan as he tried to turn back once more but Sam had just forced him to look at her
Immediately he grew an angered scowl at the feel of her touch but Sam didn't flinch as she just continued speaking
"What's your plan now huh ? you gonna run back to Cobra Kai ? to Tory !"
"Your Pushing it Princess !" Hawk growled but Sam still didn't stop
"No one told you to come here but you did, Ok you choose to join us and help us win the tournament to take down Cobra Kai…..and I know why"
With his jaw angrily clenched Hawk only looked at Tory with raging eyes while Sam's demeanor began to soften
"We both share the same goal-"
"Bullshit !"
"Oh yeah ? so you don't wanna take down Cobra Kai so you can force Tory out" Sam said making Hawk go silent as his expression Immediately shifted making him loosen up
"That's your goal right ? take down Cobra Kai so you can get Tory back ? Hawk I want to do the same thing so that I can get Robby out" Sam admitted leaving him completely dumbfounded
"Look…..whatever happened between us is the past ancient history" Sam stated genuinely surprising Hawk
"You wanted a fresh start, you got one with me, I can change the way the others see you but only if you make me a promise…."
Sticking out her pinky finger Hawk had only looked at Sam with a raised eyebrow while Sam held a dead serious demeanor on her face
"Help me take down Cobra Kai so I can save Robby…and I'll help you take down Cobra Kai so that you can save Tory"
Hawk had only looked at Sam with serious suspicion literally a week ago. She kicked him in the face for breaking her mom's vase and now she's trying to make a deal with him so that they could become friends ?
Friends…..
They would become friends…
Sam was right, they only helped each other in this…..and Hawk needed Cobra Kai gone once and for all
Swallowing the lump in his throat Hawk brought up his hand and wrapped her pinky around his making Sam smile while Hawk had quaked his own
"We better kick some serious ass togther princess" Hawk said and Sam only chuckled
"...Do you mind taking me somewhere ?" Sam asked and Haw had only raised his eyebrow on suspicion as she seemed to be already testing the limits of this alliance between them

"Look I tried ok, The only thing LaRusso and I have in common is hating Kreese, I thought that was enough, but it's just not" Johnny said as him and Miguel had gotten out of his car and headed back into their apartments
"There's gotta be a way to make it work ? you just have to connect somehow" Miguel said but Johnny just shook his head
"That's not gonna happen, we're too different. There's too much history between us"
Miguel had just sighed but Johnny waved his hands
"Forgot it Kid, we'll take down Cobra Kai on our own" Johnny said patting Miguel on the shoulder before finding his keys so that he could head inside
Balling his hands into a tight fist Miguel knew this would be a hail mary but he had to do it
"What about Rocky III ?" Miguel said making Johnny pause
"What ? about it"
Licking his lips Miguel continued
"How did Rocky defeat Clubber Lang ?...Did he do it alone ? No. He and Apollo had to work together Even though they had all that history and complete resentment towards one another. They made it work and only because someone had to reach out first….That was Apollo"
Looking at Miguel in deep through Johnny just nodded his head in consideration
"...why can't LaRusso be Apollo ?" Johnny asked but Miguel just smirked
"Because striking first is more badass" He said and Johnny was left speechless only jiggling his keys and licking his lips in thought
"I'll Think about it" he said before heading inside his apartment and Miguel only sighed hoping he got through to his Sensei

Sam's car was in the shop and she really needed to do this so by some miracle she was able to convince Hawk to take her to the skatepark on his Motorcycle
But she came to Immediately regret the decision when she realized just how reckless and fast Hawk drove
When they arrived to the park and Sam had gotten off the back of the bike her body still trembled as she was so used to clenching onto Hawk's body with a tight grip she wasn't used to not having a body to hold
But after taking some deep breaths and shake off the fear Sam had looked back at him before speaking
"...You should stay here" Sam told Hawk as he took of his helmet
"I don't want Robby to get the wrong Idea….again" she admitted and Hawk had only nodded his head leaving her glad to see he was so understanding before leaving to explore the park trying to find Robby
After what seemed like 3 minutes she found him, going up a ramp before running his hands through his now short hair making her slightly blush
She knew it was a complete long shot, a shot in the dark….But she had to try everything
Waiting for him to come back down that's when Sam made her move seeing him skate by before she called his name
"Robby…" she said making him turn his head and come to a stop on his board
"Sam… ?"
With the faintest smile Sam had just opened her hands in exaggeration
"Surprise…" she lightly said but he didn't laugh…hell he didn't even crack a smile
"What are you doing here Sam" he said basically kicking Sam in the gut as what was pieces of a smile had all but disappeared
Clasping her hands together Sam was toying with her fingers before speaking
"You know I came here every day hoping I'd find you….I asked around even put up flyers-"
"Sam if this is supposed to be your "come back" talk it's not working" Robby practically growled leaving Sam speechless once again as now she had balled up her fist in starting to rise anger
"Robby I love you" Sam admitted with all the seriousness in her voice not making even a flinch happen on Robby's face
"When you did what you did to Miguel I never stopped loving you, in fact I defended you. So what you think you saw at the Dojo with me and Miguel never happened-"
"I know" Robby quietly admitted making Sam go silent
"...what ?"
"...that look, you gave me the night Mr LaRusso and my Dad made the deal with Kreese…..I knew you and Miguel weren't back together" he said making Sam's smile slowly come back
Showing his first sign of emotion as he just sighed and looked around the park before looking back at Sam, Robby shook his head
"Sam I still love you too….and I want to be with you" he said making her smile brightly now as she tried to take his hands but he only pulled back leaving her confused
"But I can't" he said breaking her heart once again
"Not until this is all over" he said making her more confused
"Then help me end it ? Join us again and we can take down Cobra Kai together" She said but Robby just shook her head once more
"I have to be the one to end it. Me, I have to win the tournament and put this put all this bullshit to end for good" Robby said with a serious expression leaving Sam to only begin to tear up
"...and I can't afford any distractions" he admitted
Leaving Sam completely speechless Robby had just gripped his fist to mask his pain hiding his emotions…no matter how bad it hurt
"So that's what you see me as ?" Sam cried with now tears falling down her face
"A Distraction ?"
Kreese's words only rang through Robby's head on loop and he knew he was the one who had to do the hard job….even if it killed him to do so
But he was doing this for her
Swallowing the lump in his throat Robby rid decided he had to get rid of all the distractions and weaknesses in his life if he wanted to put all this Rivalry crap to bed. For good
"You and me…..we're done" he said making her full fledge cry now as tears of his own started to slowly come down his face as well
They only flowed more as he saw her turn around and walk away and Robby had only gotten his skateboard and walked away as well so that he could find a secluded place to cry on his own
Looking down at his phone Hawk scrolled through the photos of Him and Tory
They were short lived sure but those 48 hours they spent together were the best damn times of his life and Hawk only looked down at the tattoo on his wrist before sighing
he heard the sound of soft crying which made him raise an eyebrow before looking up to find Sam the culprit of it
With tears flowing down her eyes Hawk had Immediately put his phone away before speaking
"The hell happened ?! what did he say to you !" Hawk said but Sam just got on the back of his bike and wiped her tears
"Just take me home" she cried before putting on the Helmet Hawk had given her to mask her tears and when he felt her arms wrap around him but still hearing her sniffles Hawk only sighed and put his own helmet on before starting the ignition
"...hey…..I….I promise I'll drive slow" he said but that didn't stop her from crying and Hawk didn't know what to do
So he did all he could and respected her wishes by taking her home

Picking up the phone Johnny had mindlessly waived it around as he practiced what he wanted to say to Daniel
"Hey Daniel…I know things are tense….we got off on the wrong foot and I'm sorry for interrupting my class today" Johnny said before Immediately shaking his head
"No, don't apologize. It shows weakness"
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
Hearing the sound of his door being knocked Johnny raised an eyebrow before putting the phone down to go and open it
And once he did he found Daniel standing on the other side with a paper bag in his hand
"Too late for a pop-in ?" he asked
"...what do you want ?"
"I know we got off on the wrong foot and I'm sorry I snapped at you"
Nodding his head Johnny agreed
"Yeah well you should be sorry"
With a sigh Daniel opened the bag and pulled out a pack of beers as a peace offering
"...Maybe we could hash things out ?"
With the simple sound of a Beer opening Daniel took a deep breath before taking a sip
"Want some Ham ?" Johnny offered leaving Daniel to only cringe as he saw the juice dripping from the bag
"Uh…n-no..no, I'm good…Thanks Johnny" Daniel said and Johnny had only placed the bag on the table before sitting down to eat some practically making Daniel puke
There was awkward silence between the two for a long long longgg time. Both of them taking turns to sip their beers while Daniel watched Johnny eat what was probably expired meat
But with a sigh and a final sip of his beer to force him to get the words out Daniel began
"All right look…I understand how difficult it must be coming to my dojo, no secret we've had our problems but I think we could agree we have to try and make this thing work for the kids so I've been thinking…..and I think it's time…..you officially join Miyagi-Do" Daniel said making Johnny raise a brow
"Wait what ? Why the hell should I join your dojo ? Why can't you join Eagle Fang ?" Johnny said making Daniel laugh
"Come on Johnny. Miyagi-Do has a rich tradition going back hundreds of years…you started your Dojo, what, three weeks ago in a park ? Hell, I think you got the name from his poster ?" Daniel said as he pointed at the giant eagle picture with the american flag in the background
"Ok if memory serves correct, it was Hawk who saved your daughter at the House fight"
"Hawk wasn't even in Eagle Fang ? he was a Cobra Kai"
"He was my student, I taught him first hence Eagle Fang POINT I win" Johnny said before aggressively bending over to put some Ham in his mouth
sighing once more Daniel shook his head
"You know just because something's been around longer doesn't make it better. I mean your Dojo doesn't even have a good place to fight"
"Your complaining about my Dojo it isn't costing you a thing" Daniel said making Johnny laugh
"It's always about money"
"Money ? you wanna talk money, I haven't mentioned the fact that you're driving a stolen car from one of my lots"
"Oh please, that things a piece of shit radio's busted, the trunk smells like piss-"
"Johnny I'm very convinced YOU did those things !...You know what" Daniel laughed as he fell back into his seat
"I don't know what I was thinking….How the hell is this ever gonna work" Daniel asked and Johnny truly didn't have an answer as he too sat back in his chair and thought the same question
Was this even gonna work ?
"It's not…" Johnny stated and for the first time today Miguel agreed with him
"...you know if this is final we're gonna have to tell the kids" Daniel said leaving Johnny to nod his head
"We'll tell em tomorrow"
And with that the two drinked their beers marking the end of the Eagle Fang Miyagi Do Alliance…..

The Cobra Kai bell had chimed signaling the start of today's practice leaving all the students to keep off their shoes and get on the mat
"Bro I'm telling you that Fiesta Burrito it was a party in my-" Kyler had Immediately stopped talking once he saw Robby in a Cobra Kai Gi standing at the mat waiting for them
"Get a load of this chump" Kyler laughed "What are you doing here ?"
"Sensei Kreese isn't back yet, So I'm gonna get you guys warmed up" Robby stated making Kyler laugh
"You've never been a part of this team, and you think you're our Sensei ? at least when Hawk ordered us around he had some notches under his belt. You are still an outsider. Man get the hell out of here"
"Yeah who says we even want you" Tory said leaving Robby to just glare at her before looking at the rest of them
"...Ok, Hit me" Robby said making everyone but Tory laugh
"If Any single one of you is able to land just one hit on me I'll go, Never come back" Robby had challenged and Kyler only scoffed at the offer
"Well alright pretty boy" he said before Immediately charging ar Robby
Attempting to throw a punch Robby easily grabbed his arm and flipped him to the ground making Tory's eyes go wide at just how face his defense was
"Well come on ladies !" Robby said before kicking down another Cobra Kai
One by one Tory watched Robby's impeccable defense take everyone without a sweat making her eyebrows furrow more and more
It was getting to the point that it was becoming too good as she watched Robby Kick one in their chest before he blocked a plethora of punches before taking him down with a series of moves
Kyler had gotten back up and tried to hit Robby again but he quickly countered his attack and grabbed his arm striking the inside of it before ducking down forcing Kyler to get hit by his own teammates
With unprecedented anger Tory watched as Robby took on Kyler and another Cobra Kai with ease in a two on one and all she could think about was just how good his defense mixed with offense was
She was so dazed and out of it she hadn't noticed when Kyler was kicked to his feet sliding below her as Robby had looked at her
"You just gonna stand there and watch or are you gonna force me out your own dojo" Robby said before Tory had Immediately tried to kick him
Ducking out of the way of her attack Tory only got more and more mad as she could tell he was just toying with her
Blocking her Elbow to spin her around before ducking out of the way from her High Kick the two just looked at each other once more as Tory started to bounce on her feet while Robby kept calm
Trying to strike him over and over Robby grabbed Tory's arm and ducked under her to flip her down to the mat as he soon looked over her with a satisfied grin
"I think you all will soon understand I bring a lot more to the table then Hawk ever did" Robby said as he looked at the plethora of Cobra Kai students groaning on the ground
Tory had only gritted her teeth though as she had grabbed Robby by the legs and spun on the ground before landing an Immediate kick to his face forcing him to back up
Jumping to her feet both Robby and Tory were left taking heavy breaths before Robby spoke once more
"...Deals a deal….I'll leave" her said but Tory was quick to shake her head
"No !" she said making him stop as he turned to her
"Stay…" she said and Robby just smirked before nodding his head

Walking into the Miyagi-Do lot Hawk looked up from the car he was leaned on to find Sam entering the Dojo as well
The ride back to her house last night was quiet as either she couldn't speak because of the tears or she was sleep on his back but either way she wasn't doing well
And he didn't know what Robby said to her but all he knew was she was sad….and he didn't want her to be sad. Especially after they just made an Alliance to help each other and she couldn't keep up her end of the bargain
"Hey" Hawk said as Sam had gotten to him
Her eyes were red probably due to all the crying….she probably cried herself to sleep
"Hey" she said in a low toned voice confirming his suspensions
Yep. she's not doing well
"Look, whatever Robby said. I'm sure he didn't mean it-"
"Oh I know he didn't" Sam said with furry and anger in her voice
"It's Cobra Fucking Kai ! it's gotten to him and now he thinks he has to do everything alone by himself" Sam bit
He's never seen her this pissed before, not even when they broke into her literal home and started a fight in there
And he kinda liked it
"But don't worry, our deal is still happening. Cobra Kai is going down if it's the last thing I do on this godforsaken earth !" Sam practically had shouted and Hawk just smirked before the two locked pinky's
It was kinda becoming their thing
Looking down at the Sledgehammer within his hands Sam had raised her eyebrow in confusion
"What's that for ?" she asked leaving Hawk to only smile as he flipped the weapon in his hand
"A Fresh start" he said leaving Sam to just look at him suspiciously

Pulling up to the lot Daniel had Immediately seen Johnny waiting for him and it only made him sigh
Getting out of his car Daniel walked up to Johnny who was leaning against his own van with an equally disappointed look on his face
"I just wanna get this over with" Daniel said leaving Johnny to just nod his head in equal agreement
"The Sooner we get this over with the better"
"Whatever. Let's just get on the same page on how we're gonna break the news to them"
WHAM
The Sound of a sledgehammer hitting something made Both Daniel and Johnny jump, they looked at one another in shock before Immediately running to the back of the Dojo
"Alright guys ! stand back, it's coming down !" Hawk shouted before knocking the Hammer against the fence causing it to fall making him smirk
"HEY HEY ! HEY ! WHAT ARE YOU DOING !" Daniel Immediately shouted getting his attention
"Sensei LaRusso, you were right. I've burned every bridge I've had here. I shouldn't have just expected that me popping up and claiming I was on your side was good enough to gain your trust…or anyone's for that matter…So I decided it's time I start building new bridges"
Coming to join the conversation Demetri held a Tablet in his hands that showed some sort of Blueprints on it
"More specifically an Okinawan sparring Deck" he said as he handed Daniel the tablet showing him the design plans
"Eli's a design whiz. I looked it over and the physics check out….it's phenomenal"
Johnny had looked over Daniel's shoulder to look at the designs and both men silently agreed this was fucking good
"Mr Miyagi just used this place for extra storage" Sam said as Daniel and Johnny looked at her and Miguel along with everyone else in Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang who was clearing out the area
"So we thought a new deck would mean a lot more room for training. More Sparring ?"
"And we're all gonna help build it. Assuming our Sensei's approve ?" Miguel said
Looking at the sea of students all working together for the new plans being built Daniel and Johnny knew they had to make this work because if their students can…..why can't they ?
They had all come together to achieve a goal they believed in. They used the lessons they were taught and actually did something with them
Johnny and Daniel would only be hypocritical if they didn't take their own lessons to heart and tried to be better for them
Turing to Look at Johnny Daniel spoke out
"Sounds good to me" Daniel said and Johnny himself nodded his head in agreement
"Yeah, Sounds awesome" Johnny said making the others smile before both Johnny and Daniel too joined the others in cleaning up the area so they could get started with the deck
"Good Job Eli" Daniel told Hawk only making him smile as for once in a very long time he felt proud of being a nerd

"Over at Miyagi-Do our enemies are uniting against us. They think by working together they have the advantage. They think they're better than us. I should know because I used to be one of them but officially it ends today. I'll admit at first I didn't want to join Cobra Kai but eventually we all need to look ourselves in the mirror. Realize who we really are. Now it takes some losses but it's not about how you start it's about how you finish ! And to beat the enemy it helps to know the enemies Playbook ! That's why I'm going to teach you Miyagi-Do karate. SO THAT WE CAN BEAT MIYAGI-DO KARATE !"
"HOS !" The other Cobra Kai's had said Before Robby turned his head to see Kreese standing there looking at him
When they locked eyes Kreese had nodded his head in acceptance and Robby nodded back showing he was all in
"There warmed up for you Sensei" Robby said but Immediately the Dojo's bell had rung and everyone turned their heads to see an old man with white hair walk into the Dojo
Confused all the Cobra Kai students held a look on their faces but Kreese only smiled devilishly as the man just spoke
"This is cute…..When does the real fighting begin"
