"Daniel LaRusso" Silver smiled leaving shivers to get sent all around Daniel's spine
"It's nice to see you again"
"Yeah right" Daniel had quickly bit with a laugh as he walked up to Silver in vexation
"Bullshit"
"Fair enough" Silver nodded
"I'd probably react the same way if I were you, My past behavior was….Inexcusable and if I could go back and undo it all, I would"
Still confused on who the hell this guy was, Johnny had just looked back and forth between Silver and Daniel, quite shocked to see just how pissed of an expression Daniel had on his face. With his fight balled up so tightly his nails were digging into his palms Johnny saw how Daniel was practically shaking as he looked Kreese down
Johnny had told the kids to go inside the Dojo and let the men talk which soon only led to this reunion becoming more tense as Johnny turned to look at Kreese who just smirked at him
Letting out his own apologetic sigh Silver looked at Daniel's glare
"All I can say now Daniel is…..I'm truly sorry, And I assure you, I'm not that man anymore
Opening the sliding door to the dojo all the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang Students had poke their heads out the door to spy on the conversation that was unfolding before them. Watching as Daniel walked up to Silver with a growl
"I don't know what padded room you crawled out of Silver or what twisted game you two are playing" Daniel said looking at Kreese before back to Silver
"But if you two don't get off of my property right now, I SWEAR TO GOD–"
"You're Dad is pissed" Miguel said left with as much confusion as everyone else
"Who is that guy ?"
Shrugging her shoulders Sam knew just as much as everyone else did
"I have no clue…."
"He looks like a Highlander" Hawk said leaving Nate to just click his tongue
"The Highlander. There can be only one" he said before Immediately Hawk and Sam pushed him back by his face
Nodding his head in acceptance Silver looked up and Daniel, his once reassuring smile turned into a challenging demeanor
"Ok…ok I tried Daniel, We'll still hold our students to a moratorium on fighting before the tournament for what it's worth. Provided of course you do the same"
"Just remember our deal" Kreese said looking at Johnny
"If Cobra Kai wins the All Valley You two are done teaching for good-"
"Yeah that's not gonna happen=" Johnny bit much to Daniel's agreement with ahead nod
"Because you're not gonna win, Now for the last time you heard LaRusso Get the hell out of here"
Shaking his head as he kept his mouth open wanting to say something Silver just thought against it before leaving the dojo with Daniel to follow right behind him leaving Kreese and Johnny behind to talk
Looking at his former students Kreese smirked shaking his head in almost disbelief
"Has it really come down to this ? Johnny Lawrence playing second fiddle too little Daniel LaRusso-"
"No one's second fiddle" Johnny growled
"We're equals, An Alliance, with one simple goal in mind and that's to beat you ok. This is my dojo as much as it is his"
"Really ?" Kreese asked seriously
"Because the sign out front says Miyagi-Do ?"
Gripping his fist tightly Johnny didn't let Kreese's manipulation get to him
"Unless you want it crammed up your ass sideways You better take off after your Bridge partner" Johnny said leaving Kreese to just laugh and shake his head before walking off
Soon walking up to Daniel leaving the two sensei's to watch the older men leave the Dojo Johnny was left with multiple questions and need of answers and he needed them NOW
"Alright who the hell was that ?"Johnny said leaving Daniel to just sigh as he didn't take his eyes off the door
"Remember when you said we needed to talk…." Daniel said making Johnny nod his head
"Well I know a place" Daniel admitted just giving Johnny a hint of how big this had just become

Still more than pissed about what went down at the Drive in that only lead to everyone in Cobra Kai training 3 times as harder than they usually did
Immediately everyone go to work, working on their strikes with punching bags, dummies and sparring while Robby and Tory helped Kenny get his aggression out
Holding the back of the dummy, keeping it still while Robby critiqued Kenny's form every once and a while. Robby held his arms crossed still thinking about how to attack both Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang
"They know both you and I are the biggest threat. But they also know we can't risk violating probation to do anything" Robby told Tory leaving her to nod her head
"Well that just means we need to get them somewhere no one else is around"
Kenny continued to Jab the dummy harder letting out a heavy groan as he was actually as pissed as they were
Even though he wasn't one to fight any of them he felt responsible, Hawk completely humiliated him and he wasn't just gonna sit there and take it. What would be the point of learning Karate if he was still just a scared little bitch
Entering the Dojo Silver and Kreese got everyone's attention right as they stepped inside
"Everyone Fall in" Silver said the Cobra Kai's making quick haste to line up as SIlver and Kreese stood in front of their students
"We just had a little chit chat with Sensei Lawrence and Sensei LaRusso, we've come to an understanding that even after last night's events. The rule of no Physical altercation will be still attained" Silver stated much to everyone's displeasure as loud groans were heard from everyone
"WHAT !" Tory yelled
"Our enemies humiliate us and we have to back down and just take it ?!"
"Of course not" Kreese said speaking upon her worries
"We should always show our enemies no mercy"
"But there's a time and place to Fight" Silver stated before pointing at the poster of the All Valley coming up
"And that is the place. No need to waste a punch if it's not gonna score a point. So if your enemies do something to mess with you, or laugh in your face. GOOD ! take all that anger and store it because you're going to need it when the time comes, is that understood ?"
"YES SENSEI !" they said before Silver looked at Kreese and walked away changing the atmosphere of the room as a whole
And Robby and Tory felt it as they two looked at one another before each letting out heavy breaths not satisfied with the answer they were give but understanding of what needed to be done

"So that's why Mr Miyagi agreed to take me back and after I beat Barnes I never saw silver again….Until today" Daniel sighed as he took his glass and sipped it leaving Johnny to just think over the story Daniel told him
"So let me get this straight….a year after our title fight they put you straight through to the finals ?" Johnny said making Daniel laugh But Johnny was all but serious
"That's bullshit !"
"Johnny that's not the point" Daniel sighed
"I'm telling you Silver knows how to fight, I'm serious I've seen his methods I know how his warped mine works" Daniel said leaving Johnny to agree as well
"The games changed with Silver playing and we need to change with it so….from here on out I'll be taking full control of the students training" Daniel admitted leaving Johnny utterly shocked that those words even came out of Daniel's mouth or that he thought Johnny was just gonna accept that
"Hell fucking no don't start this shit again" Johnny shut down leaving Daniel to sigh once more knowing this is how Johnny would react
"Johnny listen Miyagi-Do defeated Silver last time–"
"That doesn't mean it'll work this time" Johnny angrily said leaving Daniel to shake his head
"Johnny you don't understand–"
"If you're so worried about this son of a bitch, why don't we just go down there and kick his ass right now"
"Because that's exactly what he wants, why do you think he showed up at my Dojo–"
"Your Dojo ?" Johnny cut Daniel off at the singular usage of the word making Daniel sigh
"Johnny know what I mean–"
"Do I ? because ever since I got here you've been trying to overshadow my style" Johnny said leaving Daniel silent even though he wanted to say something
"Your Dojo, Your training, Your Students. Your method, You know LaRusso I've been trying my best here but this Partnership is feeling pretty one sided here"
"Dammit Johnny ! Silver is a psychopath all right, You can not strike first with this guy ! trust me–"
"I can't or you can't" Johnny glared at Daniel keeping him silent
"Maybe the problem isn't that we can't strike first, it's that you just don't know how too" Johnny stated leaving Daniel to shake his head and chuckle as he sipped his glass
"...I just want what's best for Miguel and all of your students"
"Oh so now you know what's best for Miguel huh"
"I'm just sayin Johnny"
"You know what your problem is ?" Johnny asked leaving Daniel to just look at him in a sort of challenge
"What Johnny ?"
"You think one win by one point 30 years ago makes you better than me" Johnny said Immediately making Daniel scoff as he took a sip from his glass
"One lucky kick ! doesn't make you the better than me, I was Cobra Kai's number one student of all time if ANYBODY knows how to beat em, it's me"
"Yeah ? and how are you gonna do that Johnny ? They Strike first, you strike firster !"
Banging his fist on the table making the bowl of peanuts Jump Johnny only held a glare towards Daniel, one that he hasn't seen in a longgggg time
"My style is a lot more than just striking first LaRusso and you know that" Johnny bit tightly
"You seem to think my Style if just senseless kicking and swinging but it's more than that, and we sure as hell aren't gonna beat Silver if we just play defense all damn day–"
"Worked against Silver" Daniel said making Johnny breath angrily
"And you"
"Barley ! you may think your defense is all so great but that bullshit you call a fighting style won't work against Silver this time around he's prepared for it…..just like me" Johnny said leaving Daniel to look at him with a remarked face
"Look we both knew if we'd fought ten times I'd have beat you nine–"
"WE HAVE FOUGHT TEN TIMES !"
"Gentlemen" A Bartender said coming up to Daniel and Johnny getting their attention
"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to keep it down"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP ! BEAT IT FOUR EYES !" Johnny said leaving the bartender to pout before leaving as Johnny and Daneil went right back to their argument
"We never fought to the finish, every time we've fought it's been interrupted or ended abruptly"
Looking Johnny in nothing but question Daniel was starting to piece together what Johnny wanted
"So is that what you want Johnny ? To finish the fight"
"Why not" Johnny challenged with all the seriousness in his voice
"You think your styles superior, you think you can beat me again ? prove it" Johnny said making Daniel just look at him, I mean really look at him in preposter
"You and me, Tournament-style. First to three points win. Winner takes over the kids training"
Daniel didn't respond leaving Johnny to just smirk as he grabbed his beer
"That's what I thought–"
"You're on !" Daniel said making Johnny physically pause
Turning his head to look at Daniel the two looked at each other in tensed up silence, for a second they couldn't believe what they just proposed
But when it all registered to Johnny's head his confused demeanor just changed into a serious one as he began to nod his head and get out his seat
"Tomorrow LaRusso, On the sparring deck at Sundown" Johnny stated pulling out a couple of bills and slamming them on the table to pay for his drink
"You better not back out" Johnny said making Daniel chuckle
"Oh, I'll be there I promise you" Daniel reassured as Johnny made his leave
"And don't you worry because when I win, everything will make sense again !" Daniel said but Johnny didn't respond either due to his own accord or that fact that he already left but that didn't stop Daniel from sighing as he sipped the last of his glass as the bartender came and picked up Johnny's dollars heavily confused
"This is only 3 dollars ?" he said but Daniel just waved him off
"It's fine just but his drinks on my tab and bring me another"

With everything that went down at the Dojo it only left everyone with more questions and no answers
Sam tried to ask her Dad but he wasn't giving only mumbled a name Terry Silver, Miguel asked Johnny but with how weird he's been acting it worked him no favors. Plus Johnny apparently knew as much as he did
Which is why they were in this predicament they were in now
Walking down the halls Demetri held his Tablet in his hand searching up everything he could on Terry Silver
"Vietnam Veteran turned businessman, Had a few ups and downs but still turned out pretty freaking rich…not much dirt on him other than some toxic waste scandal in Borneo back in the 80's " Demetri said as he held a news article going over Silver's biography upon his screen
"There has to be more to this story, My Dad was beyond spooked when he saw him. He's not just gonna act that way towards some Random Veteran who's Kreese's co Sensei" Sam said much to everyone's agreement
"Sensei Kreese was a Veteran, high chance they were in the same platoon ?" Miguel suggested leaving Hawk to nod his head in agreement as they group of 4 had came to a stop in the middle of the hall
"Sensei Kreese had a picture on his desk back at Cobra Kai, He told me it was him back in Vietnam. And in the Photo along with him were two other guys…Is it possible that this Terry Silver is more important than we think he is ?"
"What do you mean ?" Sam asked leaving Hawk to lick his lips in thought
"I mean…what if he's more than just some Random Sensei, Kreese found on the street ? What if there's history ?. I mean do you seriously believe someone like Sensei Kreese would put his trust in a random guy when the most important tournament of his life is in 3 weeks ?"
Hawk had a point, And it only made everyone look at each other in deep thought as they were just left wondering what else they were missing that neither of their Sensei's were telling them.
"I'll keep digging up what I can about Terry Silver" Demetri said leaving everyone to nod their heads
"I'll run his face over an old facial recognition Beta test and weak the code to make it compatible with HEIC" Demetri stated Hawk and Miguel understood every word but Sam was left completely in the dark as she just shook her head
"I wish I had more friends….." she sighed but right on que Yasmine and Moon had approached the small group of four
With a seductive smirk on her face Yasmine played with her hair as she approached Demetri
"I love it when you talk so nerdy" Yasmine said making Demetri smile
"You are both the first and my undeniable favorite person to say that" Demetri said making Yasmine laugh before they had quickly began to suck face making everyone uncomfortable
Hawk, Miguel Sam and Moon watched as the couple gradually moved away from them unknowingly
"Anyone still confused about how that happened ?" Hawk said before Moon, Miguel and Sam all responded with a "Yeah"
Turning to face one another Miguel and Moon had quickly blushed before Moon spoke
"Hi Miguel…" she smiled
With a small chuckle Miguel couldn't contain the red on his face as he just quickly and shyly waved back
"Hi Moon…."
Sam and Hawk just looked at one another with a smirk before Hawk leaned into Sam's ear
"What's up with them ?"
"No Clue, But Moon has been asking about Miguel a lot lately" Sam admitted leaving Hawk to only think before looking at the two who were awkwardly standing next to one another twiddling their thumbs so they could find an excuse not to talk to one another as the blushes on their faces had no sign of decaying
"I like your hair" Moon said to Hawk quickly gaining his attention
Hawk had recently changed the color of his hair from Red to Purple
Hawk had figured the Red represented the worst in him. He knew he needed to make and change since he wore the color at his lowest and he didn't want to represent that anymore
Tory's purple wig only gave him more inspiration on what his new color should be and…..well Blue and Red did make Purple
With a smile Hawk nodded his head acknowledge Moon's compliment
"Thanks…..and Hey Moon, I never got the chance to apologize I was-"
With a smile Moon put her hand up cutting him off
"No need, I already forgive you, Plus….."
Glancing over to Miguel who was talking with Sam Moon bit her lip in thought as she was practically bouncing on her feet
"I've moved on, Purple is also the color of the crown chakra by the way It symbolizes enlightenment"
Chuckling Hawk rubbed the back of his neck
"Yeah that's totally what I was going for, I totally didn't just think Red and Blue make Purple" Hawk said causing Moon to laugh
"...think we can still be friends ?"
With her own soft smile plastered on her face Moon nodded her head before sticking her hand out
"Hi, I'm Moon"
Hawk couldn't help from smiling as he just accepted her handshake
"Names Hawk"
Deciding to join their friends again Yasmien and Demetri joined the others. Expect this time Demetri's hair was very ruffled along with having a multitude of kiss marks on his face while Yasmien couldn't stop herself from smirking
"Hey ! by the way" Moon said causing everyone to look at her
"Me, my Sister and Yasmine are gonna be there at the tournament to support you guys !" Moon beamed leaving Yasmine to nod her head in agreement before Immediately gripping Demetri's collar to force him to look at her
"And I know, My man is gonna look so hot up there isn't that right baby" Yasmine said causing Demetri to smile
"Oh you know it, you know I've been training right ? ready to put on a show just for you"
"That's my man" Yasmine said ready to kiss all over Demetri again before Moon had suddenly pulled her away
"Come on, we gotta get to Spanish" she said making Yasmine pout as she tried to break free but Moon held a surprisingly tight grasp
"SAM !" Moon said leaving the girl to sigh and shake her head
"I need new friends" she said before helping Moon drag Yasmine away
"I'LL MISS YOU MY LOVE !"
"I'LL MISS YOU TO MY ASTONISHING ! QUEEN !" Demetri called back out
"REMEMBER TO TEXT ME IN CLASS !"
"I WILL !...AFTER MY TEST ! IT'S A BIG ONE AND I'VE BEEN STUDYING FOR 2 NIGHTS ! BUT AFTER THAT MY HEART IS YOURS !"
Before the two could continue Sam and Moon had made Yasmine turn the corner of a Hallway and Demetri let out the biggest heart aching sigh as Hawk and Miguel had equally placed a hand on each of Demetri's shoulders not knowing what to say as they were to busy laughing
"Dude no offense….But we have no idea how you pulled that off" Miguel said and Demetri swayed back and forth and sighed once more
"Neither do I…..I guess I was just myself and somehow that worked, But what about you and Moon huh big guy"
Letting out his own laugh Hawk nodded his head in agreement
"Yeah, we saw those heavy looks you were giving one another what's up with that. And If your worried about dating my ex I promise you it's only fair"
Immediately Miguel smiled and blushed waving off his gesture
"Man whatever, that was nothing, Plus doesn't she have a girlfriend ?"
Both Hawk and Demetri raised their eyebrows in confusion
"What ? Piper ? nah dude's that's been over with" Demetri said before he and Hawk had soon walked away leaving Miguel to just stand there and think before his eyes went wide
"WAIT ! GUYS ! OVER ?!...HOW LONG ! HEY ! DON'T START SMIRKING AND WALK AWAY TELL ME !" Miguel said before quickly chasing after his two best friends
.

"Ok declare "Been over" what's been over, how long have they been over ?"
Not being able to contain their smirks both Hawk and Demetri shook their heads
"You know for somebody who's "just friends" you sure do wonder a lot about relationship status" Demetri said making Miguel roll his eyes but before the conversation could continue more Sam had approached the boys with a no so satisfied glare on her face
"You guys need to see this" she said before showing the 3 her phone
"Johnny got drunk again and went on a twitter rant"
"What was she talking about this time ? god I hope it's not about how he thinks Spotify should be banned for "stealing Music" Miguel stated but Sam just shook her head
"Nope, he's just been rambling on and on about how he and my dad are gonna rematch and fight again, something about ending this once and for all"
With a raised eyebrow Demetri only scoffed as he continued to read the tweets
"I don't know who he thinks he's tweeting too, we're his only followers ?"
"It's been what ? 2 weeks since we used the Anti Sensei argument device" Miguel sighed
"It's never been this bad though….had an argument here and there never talked about fighting one another" Sam added
"I feel like you guys fail to see the bigger picture here ! Sensei and Sensei are going to fight !" Hawk stated leaving Demetri, Miguel and Sam to just look at him in confusion

With the most serious headache he's ever had throbbing his brain Daniel was currently laid on his office couch, a bottle of Bayer and a glass of water laid on the table in front of him as continued to sleep off the headache that aided his brain
Daniel was so far out of it he didn't hear the phone ring in his office only continued to snooze
It wasn't until Amanda had walked into the office and looked down upon her husband with a groan before shouting
"DANIEL !" she said making the man jump in his sleep and wake up with a heavy groan
"Oh man" he groggily said mindlessly reaching for the Bayer pills and water in front of him
Taking a seat on the table Amanda looked down at her phone and shook her head
"Hey, our Daughter just sent me this" Amanda before handing Daniel the phone showing her Johnny's Tweets
Daniel had Immediately make a face of regret will Amanda held a cocky and sly grin on her face
"Anything you want to tell me" she teased and Daniel just sighed in response
"I thought you and Johnny were finally past all of this ?"
"So did I" Daniel blankly said handing Amanda her phone back before shaking his head
"Well, apparently not, Because according to these Tweets. Johnny's gonna kick your ass"
"WAIT ! that stronz is gonna try and beat up on my big cousin ?" Louie said leaving Anoush to just look at him before rolling his eyes
"Look I have no clue what that means, But you sure you wanna do that ? I mean this guy had me in an armbar like he was Royce Garcie, and I was just…..WELL ME !"
Nodding his head in agreement Louie spoke
"I gotta agree with Anoush on this one cuz, your good but Johnny's one bad man"
"Yeah he is" Amanda mindlessly said before her eyes went wide as everyone just looked at her in concern
Shaking his head Daniel knew this had gone beyond too far all because of a few drunken words…..god Silver was already getting to his head
"Daniel what happened ?" Amanda asked leaving Daniel to sigh and rub his eyes
"Terry Silver happened…." Daniel admitted leaving everyone in the room confused
"He's this certified wack job from my past who's just come back to Cobra Kai"
"Another one ?" Amanda said leaving Daniel to shake his head
"Seriously Daniel ? are there any other Cobra Kai's from your past gunning to destroy our lives ? because if so please tell me now ?"
Giving it a quick thought Amanda already didn't like how long it took to answer that question but Daniel just shook his head against it
"No, Look Amanda….don't worry okay ? I know I can prepare the kids for whatever Silver's up too. I just need Johnny to take a few step back and give me the reins"
"Oh and let me guess you told him as much, he didn't like that and and you didn't like that he didn't like that and now this is where you two landed. now you guys are gonna fight"
Shaking his head Daniel finally got up off the couch grabbing the files Louie handed him
"Yeah more of less"
"Just so to be clear here boss…..you're not going to fight him right ?" Anoush said with a concerned look
"Because….I really like working for you and if you die and Amanda or Louie have to become my boss…..I might die with you"
Both Amanda and Louie gave Anoush a look but Daniel just chuckled putting his hands up as he placed the files on his table
"Guys, guys relax, ok No I'm not gonna fight him" Daniel stated leaving some reassurance to go through the room
"We were both really drunk last night, Johnny just reacted the way he always does, trust me he's probably just as buzzed and embarrassed as I was ok"
Louie, Anoush and Amanda only looked at Daniel in concern but Daniel again chuckled
"Trust me. It's fine"

Clicking in his walkman Johnny looked at himself in the mirror with a serious glare as he rock music started playing while be put on his iconic black headband
All day all Johnny could do was train, all that was on his mind was beating Daniel which fueled his intent for training even more
Going on a run with no sense of direction just movement Johnny found himself all over the Valley
At the Beach, Down the street from the local pub, the park wherever Johnny had just ran as the thought of Daniel beating up back in the 80's fueled his mind
All he thought about was Daniel truly, the day he met him and punched him in the mouth, Mr Miyagi beating up him and his friends, The water hose prank on Halloween all of it
Johnny had gone back to the abandoned factory where he'd taken Daniel to train, Setting up some cement blocks that he smashed with a powerful "Hi-YAH !"
While on his run Johnny had jumped up to kick off someone's mailbox, even kicking away someone's ball so far in the ocean at the beach it wasn't even worth trying to get it anymore
Every fight and argument Johnny had with Daniel only fueled his brain making him run harder and faster. His anger grew that he pushed a man off a scooter and broke it before going back to his run
The final straw was when he thought back to the time he was spending with Miguel, that's where he was dead set on what he was going to do
He was going to win
And doing could stop him
.

Looking down at his phone Daniel only shook his head as he looked at Johnny's contact again. Like he's been doing for the past 10 minutes trying to get the words out
"Hey, Johnny…..Look we both said some things we regret and…..I'm sorry if it offended you–"
Cutting his own self off Daniel just shook his head
"No, no. Don't apologize it shows weakness" Daniel sighed as Sam had came into the Kitchen
With a simple close of a door Daniel turned his head in confusion. But his suspicion had only grown once he saw Sam
"Hey ?...Why aren't you at school ?"
Dropping her bag and Keyes Sam took a deep breath before responding
"Uh, I only had a study hall left so I played the cramps card and came home"
Still confused Daniel looked at her
"You played the…"
Shaking his head with a groan Daniel spoke
"So what, you're skipping class now ?" Daniel asked approaching Sam as she crossed her arms
"No, I'm not skipping. I'm just setting my own schedule" she responded before looking at him in confusion
"What about you ? why aren't you at work ?"
Letting out his own sigh and nervous chuckle Daniel rubbed the back of his neck trying to find a valid reason to say to his daughter
"I, uh….wasn't feeling well, that's really it"
Sam didn't believe him and just held her arms crossed as she glared
"You sure ?" she said leaving Daniel confused
"Or is this about the fight Johnny's been tweeting all over twitter ?"
Immediately Daniel sighed now knowing how impactful this was
"So what did you say to set him off ?"
"What did I do ?" Daniel asked truly offended
"Th-That guy gets set off by anything ? guys a ticking time bomb it was only a matter of time before there was something again that was gonna make him mad. Sam that's been the problem here" Daniel said leaving Sam's face to drop as she uncrossed her arms as Daniel continued
"I've tried to make this but Johnny's…..he's impossible–"
"No he's not Dad, he just has a different styles that's all–"
"It's not a different style Sam, it's the wrong style"
Leaving Sam taken back by her fathers words
"And now is not the time to be aggressive. Trust me–"
"WHY ?! need I remind you it was Hawk's Offense that saved all of our asses when Cobra Kai was kicking down our door" Sam suddenly snapped leaving Daniel surprised now
Rolling her eyes and groaning Daniel saw the frustration that radiated Sam's body
"Does this have to do with the guy who showed up to the Dojo with Kreese ?"
Letting hot air blow through his nose Daniel nodded his head
"Yeah…..he's the one who lured me to Cobra Kai when I was young. And it was only through Mr Miyagi's teachings that I was able to snap out of it, So right now, we have to double-down on Miyagi-Do"
Even though Daniel told Sam the honest truth and was being straightforward with her that didn't stop Sam's anger from rising in her body, If anything it only fueled it. The fact that her father was being so damn selfish right now
"So what ? No more Eagle Fang ? Johnny's never gonna go for that…..and quite frankly neither am I" Sam admitted as she turned to get a soda bottle out of the fridge
Now it was Daniel's turn to be taken back by Sam's words as she continued to speak
"Had we stood our ground with Cobra Kai and fought them at the Diamond none of this would've happened…..but of course Miyagi-Do is all about avoiding fights whenever possible"
"...Yes ?...yes it is, and since when do you have a problem with that ?-"
"SINCE THE PHYSCO ATTACKED ME WITH NUNCHUCKS IN MY OWN HOME DAD !" Sam yelled leaving Daniel in shock
"SINCE MY BOYFRIEND BECAME COBRA KAI'S NUMBER ONE STUDENT ! SINCE I STARTED LEARNING THAT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO FIGHT YOURSELF OUT OF SITUATIONS !"
Letting out a chuckle Sam couldn't believe how blind her Father was being
"God Dad ! I can't believe how blind you are being right now, Johnny says–"
"Oh Johnny says ?" Daniel said cutting Sam off from ranting
"I'm sorry whose side are you on ?"
"I'm not on anybody's side ! I just wanna have twice the techniques if I have to face Tory or Robby at the tournament–"
"You sure you can wait that long ? your Mom told me about the party seems like you're doing the instigating"
Rolling her eyes Sam didn't take him seriously
"Come on Dad, compared to what Tory's done that was nothing, If anything I let her off the hook"
"Sam I get that, but we don't believe in aggression. That's not how we act–"
"Maybe that's not how you act, But I'm a big girl, I can make my own decisions. I can think for myself. That's why I'm saying maybe I like fighting offensively for once. It's nice to know I don't have to get my face punched before making a move. So why don't you stop being a pussy ! get over yourself and just work things out will you !" Sam yelled before flicking her bottle cap into the trash can the same exact way Johnny did
Left in complete denial Daniel just looked at Sam as she walked away completely and utterly in disbelief at the words that came out of her mouth

"Three things make a champion" Silver stated as he overlooked the Cobra Kai students working on their side kicks
"The Three D's"
"AIS !"
"Desire !"
"AIS !"
"Devotion !"
"AIS !"
"And discipline"
"AIS !"
"The first two, I can't give you"
"AIS !"
"The last one, I can but you have to be willing to receive it"
"AIS !"
"Are you ?"
"YES SENSEI !"
Nodding his head proudly Silver overlooked all his students
"All right ? Junbi stance"
Immediately getting into their stances all the Cobra Kai students looked at Kreese with glares on their faces, Truth was they were still really amped about Miyagi-Do and Eagle-Fang and they've still yet to do anything about. It was starting to piss them all off
"I understand you wanna defeat your enemies. I do. And you will, When it matters. Until then, just stay focused on your training. Is that Understood ?"
All looking at one another the Cobra Kai's nodded their head
"Yes Sensei…" they said leaving Silver to roll his eyes
"WITH CONVICTION !"
"YES SENSEI !"
"Good, arms out, Attention, Chase-ryut ! Kyun-Nae !" with a final bow to each other Silver dismissed the students before returning to Kreese leaving everyone to let out a big sigh as that was the first time they were able to catch their breaths for the past 3 hours
Returning to Kreese the olderman held his arms crossed as he just thought to himself
"I think you and I need to have a little chat" Kreese said leaving Silver not confused just determined as he looked at him with a challenging face
"MAN ! Second Sensei's working us hard today" Kyler said he Kenny, Robby and Tory went to their bags and grabbed their waters
"Dude's going beast mode !"
"Still sucks, we can't attack those pussies, not even an argument. I'd land us in more trouble" Tory stated as she wiped the sweat off her forehead
Untucking his water Kenny had taken a sip as he began to think looking up at Tory who was having a conversation with Robby
"We fight we violate probation, we argue we're in trouble with Sensei Silver, we can't win" Robby said before Kenny put down his bottle
"Maybe we can" he said causing the teenagers to look at him
"What you thinkin little bro ?"
"...what if…..we don't need to attack all of them, Just hit someone hard enough that it'll send a message"
Seeing what Kenny was implying Robby only smirked as he nodded his head
"What are you thinking Kenny"
With a small smile forming on his face Kenny turned to Robby and Kyler, his eyes flicking to Tory and Immediately they knew what he was suggesting. The absence of Silence only left Tory more confused and Concerned but when now Kenny, Kyler and Robby were all looking at her with smirks her heart Immediately dropped once she knew what they were suggesting

Walking into his apartment complex Miguel only held a confused…..and actually quite concerned look on his face once he saw Johnny trying to do the crane kick
Ok this was going to far
Before he could even say anything though Johnny had accidently seen him once turning around ready to kick a plant
"Oh ! Hey kid, Perfect timing. I think I've got a counter to LaRusso's bread and butter watch this"
Beginning to bounce on his toes Miguel continued to walk up to Johnny more concerned by every step while Johnny continued to show his explanation
"I make it like I'm gonna walk into it again (it being the Crane Kick) and at the last second, I Slip under ! shoulder check him in the balls ! take him to the mat, elbow, elbow, elbow. Point ! Lawrence, winner"
Still…..lost on what all of that was Miguel just nodded his head hoping that would be the end of this conversation
"Gotcha…"
"All right. Here, you be him so I can try this at game speed"
Immediately Miguel's eyes went wide and before Johnny could even do anything Miguel just put his hands out to stop him
"WOAH WOAH WOAH ! SENSEI !..." letting out a sigh Miguel just shook his head
"Honestly….I wish you weren't fighting at all really" Miguel admitted leaving Johnny confused
"What ?...Miguel I'm. Doing this for us, For the team. Hawk, Sam, Ber–ok not him. Pennis Breat–nevermind not him either…..Demetri" Johnny physically shuttered having to say his name
"Whatever I'm doing this for the greater good" Johnny said tapping Miguel on his shoulder before bouncing in his fighting position
"Trust me, you'll thank me later when we're done with the Kata crap, and I can prepare you for an actual fight"
"So if you win, we train Eagle Fang. There's no more Miyagi-Do ?"
"You got it, pontiac"
Leaving his head to dro Miguel diverted his eyes for a second
"But….what if…..I don't want to stop learning Miyagi-Do ? I mean the defense was good. If I end up having to face Robby in the tournament I'd be nice to know his style now that he knows mine you know…."
Many emotions ran through Johnny's head once Miguel had said that
Confusion, Anger, more confusion, more anger ok a lot of the same emotions but either way Johnny walked up to Miguel with an unpleasant look on his face
"What the hell are you saying ? you want him to win ?"
"No…I….well….I guess the way I see it. No matter who wins, nobody wins"
"Somebody always wins Kid, Always. That's how fights work. No matter what ancient philosophical bullshit LaRusso's been feeding you. Your MY student MINE, I know what's best for you !"
Looking at the intense determination in his eyes Miguel had nodded his head, silently sighing bringing Johnny back down to earth
"Ok Sensei" Miguel had just accepted leaving Johnny reassured even if Miguel's tone wasn't convincing
"Well, good luck" Miguel said before walking away to his apartment leaving Johnny alone as he took his final deep breaths before going back to training

"Can I get you two gentleman started with something from the bar ?"
Shaking his head Kreese waived the Waitress off
"I'm fine with just a water" Kreese Answered but Silver shook his head
"Scratch that. Bring us whatever bottle of scotch Your boss has kept for special occasions" Silver said leaving the waitress to nod her head and walk away while Kreese had only turned to look at Silver
"You don't have to do that–"
"I know" Silver smiled leaving Kreese to just sigh as another waiter came to give them water
"So, what did you want to talk about ?"
"I want you to know I'm glad you came on board, but I wanna make sure that we're both on the same page here. These things that you're teaching My students…..well they're a little confusing" Kreese said making Silver nod his head in understandment
"Cobra Kai Never back down from a fight. Tournament or no Tournament, We always strike first"
Diverting his eyes for a moment SIlver was confused
"But you already did ?" Silver said knowing sharing the confusion between the two
"What are you talking about"
"I'm talking about Robby Keene. You never told me his Father was Johnny Lawrence" Silver smiled
"Well, what's it matter–"
"What's it matter ?!" Silver laughed banging his hand on the table making Kreese jump
People started to look at them making Kreese look around but that didn't stop Silver from laughing
"What's it matter ! you're telling me you took Miyagi-Do's top student and little Ms LaRusso's knight in shining armor and turned him Cobra Kai AND he's Johnny Lawrence's son" Silver laughed again each breath getting more and more unhinged leaving an unpleasant feeling to run down Kreese's spin
"Kreese, if that's not a direct attack, I don't know what is. Now you've got him and the rest of the kids wrapped up in all your old drama, Tory's still held by the shackles of that previous top student of yours, All Kenny talks about his revenge against him as well, Kyler is as dumb as they come but even he wants a piece of Miyagi-Do. John if you're not careful your obsession is going to take Cobra Kai down all over again"
"I've got everything under control. Especially Robby" Kreese said SIlver didn't believe him
"No offense John but that's not how it looks from where I'm sitting"
"It wasn't long ago, where you were sitting was a vegan tofu brunch" Kreese bit making Silver take a couple of steps back as he licked his lips in thought
"You were right about me John" SIlver admitted
"I was living….and I lost who I was along the way"
With a stern look on his face Kreese still saw the smile that formed upon Silver
"But now ? Now there's nothing I want more. Then a Second chance and finishing what we started. Except this time I just want to make sure this time we win. And the only way to do that is to forget about the past. Focus on our students. We do that, everything else will fall into place. LaRusso will shut down Miyagi-Do and Johnny Lawrence, will rule the day he ever left Cobra Kai"
Understanding were he was coming from SIlver smiled once he saw Kreese nodded his head understanding the words he was pleading
"So…what do you say ?"
"...I say….we've got a victory in our future"

Wiping the last of the Ink Rico tapped Hawk's back
"Alright man you good" he said before Hawk sat up looking back at the mirror to see the now Purple Mohawk on the eagle making him smirk
"Thanks Rico"
"No problem my man"
Grabbing his shirt Hawk had put it on but when he grabbed his jacket he was only forced to see the Cobra Tattoo on his wrist
Shit…he was thinking of her again
His demeanor had changed at the drop of a hat leaving Hawk to only pout which Rico noticed as he was cleaning out his Ink gun
"What happened to little Ms Cobra ?" Rico smirked gaining Hawk's attention
"Girl was like a firecracker, don't tell me you dropped her already"
Giving his best sad smile Hawk shook his head
"Nah….well at least I didn't…..we're just going through a rough patch that's all" Hawk sighed
Looking back from the counter Rico saw as Hawk took a seat back on the chair
Soon dropping the gun Rico pulled up a chair of his own before taking a seat right next to Hawk
"Hey man" he said getting Hawk's attention
"You love this girl ? and I mean really love her, like you can't imagine life without her ?"
Giving it a thought Hawk nodded his head before Rico slapped his legs
"Then give it time man, you're young. You're kids. Shit like this happens, but for a man who's been married for 10 years, I should know. If you really love her like you said you do, she probably loves you the exact same way, sometimes you just gotta be the one to make that push"
Strike first
Giving Hawk some actual good advice his frown had soon turned into a small smile as the words he was given stuck to his head
"Hey….thanks Rico that was actually some good advice"
With his own smile Rico just slapped Hawk's leg again before getting out of his seat
"Anytime my friend, I gotta lock up though so let yourself out once you leave alright"
Nodding his head Hawk Immediately went to his phone turning his back from the entrance as he went to Tory's contact and started typing
Hey Tory, Look I know shit's been crazy. But I can't lie, I love you. And I really miss you….and, I know you miss me as well. Us not being together because we're in different dojos is so beyond stupid…..look you probably have me blocked but if you get this just know I still care about you. And That will never stop
Immediately when Hawk hit sent a relief was dropped off his shoulders, it wasn't exactly like telling her face to face but it was a start…hopefully
DING
Immediately Hawk's eyes went wide as he spun and turned around to see Tory clutching her phone within her hand
Hawk's smile brightened wide when he saw her bust she held nothing more than a face of distress which started to concern him
And his instincts were only right once he saw Kyler and the rest of Cobra Kai walking in the shop
"What's up little bitch !" Kyler said instantly Hawk turned to look at Tory but she had already avoided all types of eye contact from him
Immediately rushing to Hawk he had just kicked a chair straight at Kyler making him drop to the ground before blocking an incoming Cobra Kai's attack
Hawk had tried to fight back but the overwhelming numbers they had had eventually got to him as Kyler had snuck up behind him and wrapped a towel around his neck before pinning him down on the chair leaving Hawk immobile
"Turns out you weren't hard to find you little bitch !" Kyler growled and Hawk had only looked at Tory's unhappy pout as her nails were digging into her palms
Turning his head to look at Robby who was searching the counter Hawk darkly chuckled
"So what, you assholes just ignoring the no fighting rule ?" Hawk said as Robby picked up razor knife
"Oh we're not here to fight" he said as he approached Hawk revealing the blade as he smirked down at him
"Make sure you hold still" Robby said and Hawk had just glared daggers at him as his heartbeat started to beat fast

Looking down at her phone Sam had only groaned as that was the 10th missed call from Hawk
"Dammit where is he ?" Sam said still really amped and anxious about his sudden disappearance
"Sam relax" Miguel reassured getting her attention
"He's probably just getting a tattoo that's taking really long, he's gonna be here it'll be fine"
Sam didn't respond, just clenched the flag that was in her hand not willing to accept what Miguel said
Looking at the walkway of the sparring deck both Miyagi-Do's and Eagle Fang's were cheering Johnny and Daniel on as they stepped upon the deck. Chris held a camera stick in his hand so that he could get all the angles of the fight while everyone else couldn't stop making noise
"They do know they already taught us the basics of both styles right ?" Demetri said to Bert and Nate and even though Johnny was on the deck that didn't stop him from throwing a water bottle at Demetri thunking him in the head
"SERIOUSLY HOW DOES HE KEEP GETTING THESE !"
Both Dressed in their all white and black Gi's Sam and Miguel looked at one another before sighing taking their rightful placed at the corners of their Sensei's as they each held a flag in their hand while Johnny and Daniel talked it out one more final time
Looking back at Miguel with a sigh Johnny clenched his hands and grasped his fist before doing the impossible
Admitting he was wrong
"Look maybe there's a better way–"
"Johnny there is, you just won't admit it" Daniel said Immediately washing away any type of doubt or sympathy that was in his body
"Don't you ever think you might be wrong about anything ?" Johnny growled leaving Daniel to sigh
"Johnny, what are we doing here ? you wanna rehash your baseless argument from last night in front of these kids ?"
"No" Johnny said seriously
"I just want what's best for them"
"What's best for them ! is Miyagi-Do and if fighting you is the only way I can get there then let's just get this done"
Silently nodding his head Johnny for once agreed with Daniel
"All Right, LaRusso. Let's finish this"

Taking the stage against one another Miguel and Sam walked to the center of the mat approaching their Sensei's
"Face us" Miguel said and they did
"Bow"
"Face Each other" Sam said and they did
"Bow"
With a quick Bow the two had Immediately gotten into their fighting positions as Sam and Miguel held the flags before them
"Ready ?" Miguel said just feeling the tension between them
"Fight !" Sam announced
Not wasting any time Johnny attacked, striking first with a fury of kicks and blows, Daniel tried to block with wax on wax off but was struck by a Rib Shot from Johnny
"POINT !" Sam said raising her flag causing Daniel to look at her before shaking it off
"Sensei Lawrence strikes first !" Chris exclaimed bouncing on his feet
"True to the motto ! painted on his former dojo wall, and carved into his very being–"
Suddenly stopping when he just saw Chris give him a blank look Mitch shrugged his shoulders
"What ? I'm trying to capture the spirit of the fight ?" he said leaving Chris to shrug his shoulders and continue holding up the the Camera
"Score 1-0 Lawrence" Miguel said as Johnny and Daniel got into fighting positions
"Ready ?...Fight !"
Immediately stomping his foot causing Johnny to hesitate Daniel got him off balance giving him a fake opening Johnny fell for as Daniel had kicked Johnny in the torso
"POINT !" Miguel said raising his flag causing Johnny to look at him before shaking it off
"Score is 1-1" Sam said causing Johnny and Daniel to get into their fighting positions
"Ready..Fight !"
Immediately striking first Johnny didn't lead up striking a heavy series of kick making Daniel duck and punches making him move around the mat and stay on Defense not giving him a chance to attack
Throwing Daniel a kick Daniel had blocked the attack before giving Johnny a strong and serious punch to the toros
"POINT !" Sam said making Johnny groan while the crowd continued to cheer
"HELL YEAH ! TWO TO ONE ! LARUSSO TAKES THE LEAD !" Chris stated
"All he has to do is score one more point and LaRusso is the winner" Mitch explained while Sam and Miguel went to the centers of the mat holding up their flags
"Score is 2-1 LaRusso, Ready"
Instead of getting into his fighting position Daniel had begun performing a different Kata
Johnny raised his eyebrow in confusion but thought nothing of it as when Sam yelled "Fight !" he immediately struck
Throwing blow after blow Daniel effortlessly dodged the attacks before grabbing Johnny's arm and hitting the inside of it causing Johnny's entire arm to numb making him groan
"Agh…..what the hell, man ?"
Daniel tried to attack again But Johnny was quick to kick his leg back before jumping up and wrapping his legs around Daniel to bring him down to the ground striking his foot on his chest
"POINT !" Miguel said making Daniel groan
Immediately the crowd of Students erupted at the sight while Johnny and Daniel had gotten back up ready to head to their positions again. Johnny feeling the blood flow back to his arm
"You got anymore dirty tricks up your sleeve LaRusso" Johnny growled but Daniel just chuckled
"I'm not the one who fights dirty, remember that" Daniel bit back making Johnny smirk as he rolled up both his sleeves waking his arms up
Going back to the center of the mat Miguel and Sam held their flags up while Daniel and Johnny had gotten into their fighting positions for the last time
"Score is 2-2" Miguel said leaving Johnny and Daniel to glare at one another before all hell broke loose
"Next point wins…ready….Fight !" Sam announced, Immediately she and Miguel backed away retreating into their corners
Immediately kicking Daniel had dodged, ducking under Johnny's next swing before throwing him to the ground with a recovery roll
Trying to sweep his leg Daniel brought it up with quick haste before attacking throwing a series of punches that led Johnny throwing him into one of the support beams making everyone spooked
Johnny tried to high kick but Danile ducked under it before retreating to their original spots leaving them to stare down one another as they were both anxious
Giving into their strengths Johnny was the first to strike, sending punch after punch with haste as Daniel blocked blow after blow
Trading kick for kick with one another the two men stared one down ready to end the fight as Johnny performed a spinning backfist while Daniel performed a high kick striking each other at the same damn time knocking each other out
"POINT LAWRENCE !"
"POINT LARUSSO !"
Immediately looking at one another in heavy confusion Sam and Miguel didn't know who to call winner while the crowd was just hyped there was a knockout they didn't care BOTH their Sensei's got knocked out
"Who won ?" Miguel asked Sam leaving her as confused as he was
"I don't know ?"
Soon getting up to their feets Daniel and Johnny groaned as they too were looking for a winner
"Check the replay !" Demetri said and everyone was quick to surrounded Chris as he played back the footage
But when they saw the recording all they saw was Daniel and Johnny knocking each other out leaving everyone more unsatisfied
"Check another angle" Johnny said all too seriously but Chris just looked at him in confusion
"There is no other angle….?"
"You guys don't have another phone ? there's like 40 of you out here ?"
"HAWK ?!" Sam said seeing the boy approach them all in a black hoodie covering his head
Immediately stepping off the stage to go to him Demetri was also confused on where his best friend had been
"shit…Eli, what happened ?"
Looking at everyone in embarrassment Hawk took off his hoodie with shaking hands leaving everyone jaw dropped and gasping to see his Mohawk was cut off
Demetri and Miguel couldn't keep their mouths off the ground while Sam had to cover her shocked expression with her hands
Looking at Sam she saw he tried to fight his tears and Immediately she hugged him feeling he needed some type of condolence right now as Johnny went through the sea of students to walk up to him
Unraveling from his hug with Sam Johnny only had a face of vengeance upon him as Hawk looked at his Sensei in shame
"Who did this ?" Johnny asked leaving Hawk with trembling fingers
"Cobra Kai…." he admitted making everyone drop their heads while Johnny just shook his with uncontrolled anger
"Kreese and Silver did this they need to pay !"
"Jesus, Johnny. Please…." Miguel said making Johnny snap at him
"Kreese tried to kill you last time. You wanna fight them both now ?"
"DAMN RIGHT ! I do look what they did"
"Dousing the fire with gasoline, that's your answer ? yeah I'm not surprised"
"Sensei stop…." Miguel pleaded but Johnny showed no signs of doing so
"You still think your way is the only way….you were so damn proud when they pulled their little sprinkler prank, but had they stood their ground and kicked ass like I taught them, this never would've happened !"
"And if they fight every time they're provoked, where does that lead them ? back to the hospital or JAIL !" Daniel said making Sam's eyebrows furrow
"Just because you spent equal time in both–"
"DAD STOP !" Sam yelled stepping in front of her Father and behind Johnny as she held an angered passion in her eyes
"Johnny's right ! If we fought Cobra Kai when we had the chance none of this would've happened. It Doesn't matter how many times we stand up to Cobra Kai, if we don't strike back they're gonna keep coming at us"
Seeing his daughter argue against him just made Daniel shake his head before looking at Johnny
"And you're worried about my influence on your kids…." Daniel said leaving Johnny's mouth to quake in heavy thought
"This what you want Johnny ? to have my daughter and the rest of my students acting like you ?..."
Closing his eyes in a sigh Johnny just looked back at Hawk's defeated form before shaking his head
"Well you don't have to worry about me anymore, Because we're done" Johnny said and Daniel had just shrugged his shoulders in response
"Works for me"
Giving one final look to his now ex partner Johnny nodded his head before speaking
"Eagle Fang's let's go" he said before turning back to Hawk
Clenching his fist and swallowing the thump in his throat Miguel knew he was making a hard decision. And Johnny noticed he was down a member making him turn back to Miguel
"Miguel come on ?"
Shaking his head sadly Miguel went against Johnny's orders
"...I-I…..I can't Sensei" Miguel said leaving Johnny to quietly gasp
"Sensei LaRusso is right…I can't live my life in anger, and aggression anymore….if we wanna beat Cobra Kai's Offense the best thing we can do is Defend" Miguel sadly admitted leaving Johnny to just nod his head as he looked at Daniel's despondent expression
"Yeah, I was worried about your influence on my kids" Johnny said leaving Miguel to sigh as Johnny started walking away
Biting her lip in thought Sam shook away all the defense in her head and struck first
"WAIT !" she called out stopping Johnny making Daniel's eyes go wide
"I'm coming with you" Sam said and Immediately Daniel tried to reach out to her but she had just shrugged her father off
"Samantha-"
"Dad I told you, If I wanna beat Cobra Kai I HAVE to learn both styles…..Johnny's right I'm done defending myself against them, I'm done waiting for them to strike. If I wanna beat them I need to learn how to punch back" Sam said breaking Daniel's heart with every word as she joined Johnny
Now it was Daniel's turn to look at Johnny but he was more angry than sad as he just huffed away the tears that formed in his eyes
"You're the Devil" he told Johnny, leaving the blonde to hang his head low before soon enough the Miyagi-Do's saw the Eagle Fang's leave
Leaving Johnny to lose a Son
And Daniel to lose a Daughter
