"When I look around today I see the Future" Silver began as he looked at his overwhelming class of Cobra Kai's
The once small class he founded scrounged with barley 12 students had now became a small army as this was just one of his many grand classes Cobra Kai had became leaving him to just smile proudly at his business
"Now it's no secret out past has been flawed, Sensei Kreese fell Victim to his demons" Silver said as he began walking back and forth at his students
"But John Kreese is not Cobra Kai" Silver said with a pause in his voice and a stop in his walk
"We are" he pointed out leaving everyone to nod their heads
"And we've already shown we're champions. But that championship is merely a springboard to new heights. That's why I've brought in some of the finest Sensi"s in the Valley. Consider this their job interview"
Standing tall among the other Sensei's Chozen just kept his mean glare on his face trying not to blow his cover but he wouldn't have to worry about that because the sound of the dojo's door opening had caught everyone's attention seeing The Champ Herself walk in much to Silver's smile
"Let's all give it up. The Champ is in the house"
Dropping her bag Silver had smiled at Tory, but she just glared at him as the claps and cheers for Tory continued leaving her to bow at the group of Cobra's before taking her spot on the map
"She's allowed to be a little late. Today" Silver said making everyone chuckle before he continued his speech
"Hey" Kenny said with a small smile getting Tory's attention
"When are you gonna bring your trophy in ? I get you've been celebrating and all but we want to put it on the wall"
With her common blank glare Tory had responded
"Not today" leaving Kenny to just nod his head in understatement before he noticed the hickey mark on her neck making him raise a brow but he didn't think too much of it
"Alright everyone, warm up, The Sensei's will instruct you. Let's see what they know"
Watching everyone break apart due to Silver's words Tory had only watched as Chozen walked up to her, his mean glare making her raise an eyebrow as she had just stared at him back
"So you are champion, eh ?"
Nodding her head Tory spoke
"yeah….I guess I am"
"Good" Chozen smirked before immediately changing his facial features bringing back his glare
"Then I will not go easy on you"
Leaving Tory with his words she only swallowed the lump within her throat

Walking through a store with one earbud in his ear Robby continued to bob his head to his playlist as he searched the Mexican Liquor store
Already picking up 2 Burritos for him and Johnny along with a couple of more snacks Robby found himself at the counter giving the store clerk a soft smile before he started to ring his stuff up
Robby's eyes had mindlessly wandered around the store as his stuff continued to be bought. That was until a small rack of necklaces caught his eyes making him raise an eyebrow in thought
Going over to the rack Robby had softly smiled at the many heart half heart necklaces with Single initials on it
Continuing to spin the rack around Robby picked up one with a S on it making him smile more before picking up another with an R, connecting them both Robby saw the two jewelry sets form a heart and that was convincing enough for him
"This too" Robby added to the counter
Coming out of the store holding a small bag with all the stuff he just bought Robby found Johnny on his phone soon looking at Robby as he took his earbuds out
"I got the map matched up to my phone" Robby began as he handed Johnny the bag and watched as he grabbed his burrito
"We only have a few miles to go. Lots of bars and restaurants"
Taking a deep breath as he chewed Johnny noticed someone walking towards them
"Hey, let's just ask this guy. HEY ! HOLA !"
¿Habla Español ?"
"What ?"
"Español ?"
Johnny shook his head in confusion
"Spanish ? no America" Johnny said making Robby palm his face
"México, estás en una zona de remolque, necesito que muevas la camioneta" (Mexico you're in a tow zone I need you to move the van)
Nodding his head not understanding what the man said Johnny brought his thumbs up
"Gracias, It's custom decal" Johnny said now leaving the man confused and quite honestly Robby as well as Johnny bit into his burrito and continued
"I'm looking for el amigo Hector The Salazar"
Shaking his head Robby could see the frustration on the man's face
"No conozco a Héctor Salazar. Tienes que mover la furgoneta, por favor" (I don't know a hector salazar. You have to move the van, please)
Rolling his eyes Johnny just sighed as he looked back at Robby
"I think this guy just wants money" Johnny said but the man Immediately shook his head
"No, no, no, no Money está mover the van"
"No, no no, You cannot have the Van. It's a very special Van, you can tell me, donde Hector Salazar, I give you dineros, Si ?"
"Dinero ?"
Johnny nodded his head
"Si, Si, Dinero"
Shaking his head for the last time the man walked away yelling some things in spanish leaving Johnny to nod his head before he turned back to Robby
"Jesus, Hey Rob can you even believe this guy ?"
Seeing the blank disdain feature on Robby's face Johnny grew confused
"What ?"
Shrugging his shoulders Robby spoke
"I Don't Know. If this Hector guy is so dangerous, I don't think we should just be throwing his name around" Robby said truthfully but Johnny was quick to reassure
"Hey, we gotta shake the tree to get the apples alright" Johnny said making Robby tilt his head in question
"Or we could just climb the tree ourselves" Robby replied leaving Johnny now confused
"What does that mean ? What tree ?"
"Wha ?- Dad the apple tree. You just said you wanted- WAIT ! SHIT !"
Noticing Robby's divided attention Johnny quickly caught on seeing his car get towed away
"HEY ! HEY ! WHAT THE HELL !"
Robby had only chased after the car and the tower while Johnny just threw his beer can in frustration at the car
GOD HE HATED MEXICO !

Letting out a small yawn Miguel ventured down the stairs with a smile on his face
Words couldn't even begin to describe the joy he had in his heart
It's been way too long since he's felt like this, to finally meet his Dad, His Real Father…for once everything seemed to just make sense to Miguel, he felt like he finally belonged somewhere again
As Miguel continued his walk throughout the beautiful interior of the home, the smile still plastered upon his face, Miguel came to the Kitchen to find Hector cooking lunch
"Hey There he is" Hector began as Miguel had stretched his arm
"You must've been wiped out huh"
"Yeah, just a little" Miguel chuckled before peeking over at the stove
"What are you making ?"
"Ah, just my famous Churrasco" Hector said, exclaiming his taste with a chiefs kiss leaving Miguel to keep smiling
"Churrasco. Ok. Ok"
"Hey, get in there" Hector said handing Miguel a knife
"Let me see those quick reflexes, I just need to know where you learned to move like that"
With a slight chuckle Miguel began cutting the vegetables as he started to talk
"Ok, Uhh, well, I study Martial arts, Karate to be exact" Miguel smiled, not holding the redness in his face as he just looked up at Hector's smile. He still couldn't believe he met his Dad, He was telling his Dad all that he missed on
"Won my city championship back home actually"
"A champion in California ? Wow !" Hector chuckle
"I'm surprised I never heard of you ?"
Continuing to Cut the Vegetables Miguel tilted his head
"Well, actually, you….You might've" Miguel began leaving Hector slightly confused as he too began to tilt his head in thought
"It's actually kind of why I'm here…See I'm-"
Before Miguel could even continue the sounds of Luis's laughter running throughout the house caught both their attention as Immediately Hector started to laugh
"Sorry, sorry, It can get hectic here, The Little guy is a real handful"
Putting the Vegetable cutting on pause, Miguel thought back to the conversation he had with Moon After Prom
Never had any siblings….would love to have one though, I think I'd be a good brother…..maybe I do have one. Out there, somewhere
He still couldn't believe it…
He had an entire baby brother he never knew about, or well Half Brother, but still….He had one !
Shaking off the memory Miguel chuckled
"Uhh, Luis…..you umm…."
Licking his lips Miguel tried to find the words
"You ever think of having….I don't know, More ?"
Looking at Miguel before looking at Luis then back at Miguel Hector only shook his head
"Oh, no. no, no, no, He's not mine. He's from her previous Marriage, Never had any kids of my own" Hector said with a slight smile Immediately leaving Miguel's face to drop
"Ohh…."
Well Damn, There goes having a secret sibling
"But I was almost a family man once" Hector said getting Miguel's attention back
"Yeah, Even got married. Had to deal with her crazy mama, Heh. We started talking about having kids….."
The silence between the two had only grown as Miguel's hands began to shake
"But then she left…"
Feeling, hell a lot. Miguel had only nodded his head in silence, the realization that his Dad didn't know of his existence hit him like a truck as the distant face was shown all over Miguel. But he had just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders
"That's uhh…..well that's to bad" Miguel said leaving Hector to nod his head
"Mhm, but hey !" Hector Immediately said breaking the silence between them
"I got a great Idea. I'm going to El Hoyo Verde Later. And you're coming with me. You'll love it"
Immediately stuck on what to say Miguel just said "Uhhhh" But Hector wasn't taking no
"Please, come on. You can't leave Mexico without a few stories right ?" Hector sadi in a convince voice as he put a hand on Miguel's shoulder
"Please ? Come on, I owe you. Let me show you a good time"
Not able to hide his smile Miguel shook his head and laughed

With quick and ferocious strikes Tory had continued to jab at the pad Chozen held up
Although she was hitting bare minimum Chozen had only groaned once Tory done her spin kick hitting the pad which was enough to make Chozen get up
"You are better than this" Chozen said but Tory was quick to reply
"How the hell would you know ? You've never seen me fight ?
"It is obvious, you are troubled ?" Chozen said leaving Tory to just look at him blankly "You may not want to train anymore now that you are champion ?"
Thinking back on Eli's words, about how he was still training with Miyagi-Do even after they lost the tournament. It just gave Tory more reason why she needed to stay in Cobra Kai
"I don't just fight for a trophy. I wanna be strong, to defend what's mine" She said leading Chozen to nod his head
"Ai, Good reasons"
"What about you ?" Tory quickly said back
"Why train to be a Sensei ?"
Simply thinking on Tory's words Chozen responded
"Honor"
Giving him a blank look Tory raised a brow
"That's it ?"
"That is everything" Chozen explained leaving Tory to listen
"I thought I had lost my honor. Eventually I understood, no one can take Honor from you. Only YOU can take Honor from yourself"
Only thinking on Chozen's words Tory wasn't able to respond due to Silver interrupting them
"How's it going here, Sensei…?"
"Jokichi Tatsuya" Chozen bowed leaving Silver to nod his head
"But everyone calls me Joe"
"Sensei Joe" Silver nodded
"What of your knowledge have you bestowed our Champion with ?"
Looking back at Tory Chozen did hesitate to speak
"First train mind. Then train body" Chozen said leaving Tory's eyes to divert
"Well don't let me interrupt then" Silver had said leaving both Tory and Chozen to continue their discussion
"If you want to free your mind of troubles, you must face them directly" Chozen said leaving Tory to just nod her head as he brought the pad up
"Now Focus, Center, Breathe"
Getting into her fighting position Tory inhaled a deep breathe
"NOW ATTACK !"
Doing her spin kick this time she struck strongly leaving Chozen to nod his head in acceptance along with Silvers much satisfaction
"Nice work Nichols"
Dropping the pad down Chozen had cracked his neck
"Now like this" he said before taking his place in front of the dummy ahead of him
Taking in a deep breathe Chozen had performed a plethora of strikes at the training dummy that made Silver's eyes go wide in shock at how he was attacking the dummy
Soon enough Chozen had looked back at Tory ending his demonstration
"Do as I did" he told her leaving Tory to nod her head before he looked at Silver's thoughtful face
"You know Tang Soo Do ?"
Chozen only nodded his head furthering Silver's thoughts
"Where are you from exactly, Sensei Joe ?"
"Kyoto"
"Ah, Beautiful. I've Always loved the Fushimi Inari Shrine-"
"Ahh too many tourist" Chozen responded
"Nanzen-ji Temple, Much better for your next visit"
Only thinking on Chozen's words Silver had just chuckled before looking at Tory with a headnod
"I guess Sensei Joe does have more to teach you, Don't let me get in the way" Silver said before making his leave not seeing how quickly Chozen's Facade dropped as he stared him down as he left

After the situation with the car being towed Johnny and Robby found themselves in some type of indore shopping market, walking through as they were faced with their newest problem
"Guy at the impound lot said we need 4,000 pesos. That's like a million american dollars"
Giving a confused look Robby was quick to correct him
"Actually it's $200, but still we only have about half of that"
"Yeah well we're not gonna find Miguel without the van"
Hearing some commotion going on among people within the market Johnny and Robby saw some type of bets being placed
Robby had quickly caught on as he saw two people sitting at a table holding a red pepper with milk jugs right next to them
"Holy…Dad that's a Red Savina. That Thing'll burn a hole right through you" Robby told Johnny as the watched one of the men take a bit before immediately spitting it out and jumping out of his chair to grab a glass of milk as everyone watching just laughed while the other man sitting down had won a shit ton of money
Looking at Robby in confusion Robby had just chuckled at Johnny's confused face
"Me and Mom watch hot ones all the time" he explained leaving Johnny to nod his head
Immediately seeing all the Pesos the man earned Johnny grew an idea
"This is our shot to get back on track" Johnny told Robby simply tapping his son on the shoulder
"If you see me about to choke, cover my mouth so I don't spit it out"
With that Johnny made his leave but Robby quickly stopped him
"Wait…." he said gaining his own idea
"Let me do it"
Immediately Johnny shook his head
"No, Robby, I got us into this mess-"
"Like you said" Robby interrupted Johnny
"This is our best shot at getting the van back, and I know I can win"
Before Johnny could even argue Robby took his place at the table leaving Johnny to watch as he slapped down all the money he had left on the table buying his way in
The man sitting in front of him had just simply waved his hand and Immediately Robby looked at the jar of peppers
And just as quick as this commission started the once full jar was emptied as Robby had taken his second to last pepper, His face as red as the fruit he was eating as steam was practically coming out of his head
"HELL YEAH ! THAT'S MY BOY !" Johnny proudly shouted as Robby tried his hardest to keep calm and not notice the burning heat forming in his mouth
"Mira al gringo sudando como un cerdo" (look at the gringo sweating like a pig) the man smirked as Robby practically felt the hole burning in his stomach
"Estará muerto antes del segundo asalto" (He'll be dead before the second round)
With his hands gripped tightly Robby fought back the pain, looking at his opponent dead in the eyes before challenging him some more
"Una Mas !" (One more) Robby said truly surprising the man in front him along with everyone else as they all went "Ohhhh"
"Give me the hottest pepper you got" Robby confidently smirked making Johnny just look at him in concern
With his expression changing and a glare soon put on his face the man had slammed his fist on the table before shouting
"EL DRAGON !" making everyone gasp in shock while Robby had just clenched his fist in wait
All of this….just to find Miguel…Fuck his life

Pacing back and forth trying to calm himself down Miguel was now dressed in some new and what he thought to be expensive clothes, some wait jacket with a button up and dress pants
Sudden Worry had filled throughout Miguel as he blindly slapped his hand with his phone as he continued to mutter at himself
This was a little crazy Miguel had to admit
I mean apparently to his Dad he NEVER had a son, never had ANY kids for that matter….did his mom never tell Hector about him ?...Was he not even there for his birth ? well clearly
"Shit…" Miguel had muttered running a hand through his hair
"I mean this is insane, apparently. According to Him I never existed, so that means he doesn't know he's my Dad" Miguel began to self monologue the more he spoke the more crazy it sounded
"Shittttt…."
Continuing to slap his phone, pouncing on his toes as he shook his head Miguel had quickly turned on his phone before calling the one person he knew who could give me answers
And after the 2nd ring Carmen picked up
"Miggy ! oh my god. I've been worried sick ! Are you ok !"
"You lied to me ?" Miguel said the pain in his heart heard through the phone as Carmen had Immediately sighed
"You found out….."
"He-He, He doesn't even know I exist ?"
"Mijo, I had to, you don't understand how dangerous he is"
"No Mom !" Miguel suddenly snapped his fist clenched with his free hand as his newfound anger started to show in his voice
"He's nothing like you said he was ! you were wrong about him, He's smart, He's generous, He's respected. He-He has his own business…He's everything Sensei Lawrence wants to be" Miguel admitted leaving Carmen to sigh on the other end
"All of these things I missed out on because of you, You said Sensei Lawrnece is a better man than him but what I'm looking at…" Miguel sighed looking around the room he stayed in inside the giant house HIS FATHER built from ground up Miguel shook his head
"Sensei Lawrence wishes he could be him" Miguel said leaving Carmen to sigh again as she was left speechless trying to find the words to say
"Miggy…no, Please listen to me-"
"Vamonos, Miguel" Carmen heard a third voice say on the other end making her eyes go wide
"El Hoyo Verde is calling"
"Miguel Don't !-"
Letting out his own frustrated sigh Miguel hung up his phone right as Hector came in the room, leaning against the doorframe
"Come on, let's go"
Closing his eyes and sighing Miguel had just changed his facial features before turning around to look at Hector putting on his best smile

With shaking hands a man had carried a jar and within it held two Dragon Peppers inside of it
Looking at the man who sat across him even Robby could see the hesitation and fear upon the man's face which only worried him more
Placing the two peppers across Robby and the Man Johnny had doubled down more on the bet
"We're going all in. Todo !" Johnny said adding the last of their money on the table causing the announcer to tell everyone to place their bets which caused everyone to start gambling again
Swallowing the lump in his throat Robby had grabbed the pepper before sighing
"You got this. I'd bet on you any day of the week….which is technically what I just did, But you get the point-" Johnny told Robby
"Dad !" Robby told Johnny looking over at him
"I got this" Robby had reassured before looking back at the man
With a deep breathe Robby had put the pepper between his hands before he started using Mr Larusso's kata practices, finding the balance and inner peace within him before soon enough he popped the food in his mouth, Immediately banging his clenched fist on the table as he started to chew
Closing his eyes tightly as his closed fist had only tightened harder everyone watched on the edge of their seats seeing if Robby would soon enough fold to the heat of the pepper
Banging his hand once more on the table Robby only chewed more leaving Johnny to squint his eyes in a cringe as Robby shook his head violently before swallowing making everyone around them cheer as he showed he eat the pepper
The man across from him was the most shocked Immediately grabbing the pepper before putting it in his mouth
But Robby had smiled seeing his once confidence demeanor change as his face dropped as the heat Immediately got to him, and soon enough after the man unbuttoned his shirt, he grabbed the glass of milk in front of him making Johnny clap his hands while everyone watched cheered for Robby
"YES ! HELL YEAH !" Johnny exclaimed before the man who not had gotten up couldn't hold it in anymore and spit out the milk all over Robby and Johnny making them both Immediately cringe
"We need extra because of that" Johnny said

With his gym bag within his hand Chozen began making his leave from today's lesson
"Sensei Joe" Silver said getting his attention
"What are you doing tonight ? I'd love to hear more about how a japanese master like yourself ended up in the Valley"
Nodding his head with a small smile Chozen spoke
"I am happy to tell you story"
"Great. Dinner and drinks at my house, Amber" Silver said pointing at a women behind the snack bar
"Will you make sure Sensei Joe gets all my info ?"
With a small head nod from the woman Chozen knew he was really in within Silver only proving more that this plan was great
"I'll see you tonight"
With a head nod Chozen made his leave, leaving Silver along in the Dojo as he started to untie his belt
But he wasn't truly alone as Tory had stuck back, sitting at the bar before looking to see Silver was finally by himself
With her hand clenched Tory got out of her seat ready
"I need to talk to you" Tory said getting Silver's attention as she tugged on her gym back more
"Nichols, what do I owe the pleasure to our champion ? excited to take things to the next level"
Thinking upon his words Tory snorted as she rolled her eyes
"What's the point, you'll just pay to make me champion again" Tory bit leaving Silver taken aback as the tension had Immediately risen
Nodding his head silently Silver just understood her anger
"So you know about the ref" he said leaving Tory to silently nod her head as Silver just diverged his eyes, not single bit of remorse shown on his face
"Have you told anyone else ?"
"Who would I even tell, everyone here would encourage it"
"Why don't we start with that boyfriend of yours" Silver stated leaving Tory's heart to drop as her demeanor had silently changed leaving her to just look at Silver's glare
"The All Valley's Other Champion" Silver said leaving Tory silent
"Relax Nichols, He's a winner, just like yourself, also The marks on your neck couldn't make it more obvious" Silver menacingly grinned
"But, Now We both have our own secrets against one another, I'm not mad. Just shows me you've Truly been understanding my teachings. Never leave yourself defenseless. Even against those you trust closely"
Swallowing the lump in her throat Tory just clenched her fist
"So you don't deny it ?
"Not at all" Silver said with a low growl, changing his demeanor again as all the cockiness in his body had left
"I paid him off to make sure Cobra Kai won, it was an insurance policy. You still won the fight-"
"But my match with Sam wasn't the only one huh" Tory growled
"My quarter finals match, My Semi's final match against Devon. You say I won my fights but did I really ?"
"Of course you did" Silver said
"You're the champion. I know it, you were always the best girls fighter in the Valley and I made sure everyone knew it, and Guess what. Now everyone knows it, I know it, LaRusso Knows it, The Whole Valley knows it"
Looking at the discomfort upon Tory's face Silver had just pointed at her with his belt
"If you don't believe it, then you're the only person who doesn't"
"So what am I supposed to do now huh ? just go back to normal and act like nothing ever happened ?!"
Letting out a Silent sigh Silver spoke to her
"Listen, I'm not Sensei Kreese" Silver admitted making Tory's face soften
"I don't have the connection you two had. Correct me if I'm wrong but it was him who put you and the Other Champion together, am I right ? gave you two the title of King and Queen Cobra"
Looking down at her tattoo Tory let out a small sigh just nodding her head
"I never had to scrape and claw my whole life like you, But what I do know. Is how to use every advantage to ensure victory"
"You mean cheating" Tory corrected him in a smartass attitude only fueling Silver's motives more
"The Tournament was a matter of Cobra Kai's Survival" Silver explained
"If a person steals food to survive, are they cheating ? our are they doing what must be done" Silver said leaving Tory to just think on his words
"I want you to be here, And I want you to be you. If you choose to leave I won't hold it against you, but if you come back tomorrow. I will make you the future of this dojo, Because you were always the one true Cobra, Not Keene, Not Moskowitz not even Diaz, YOU were Nichols"
Finally unclenching her fist Tory had just closed her eyes before looking back at Silver
"The Decision is yours" He said before leaving Tory with a pout on her face as he soon just walked away making her more lost than she was before

With their Van back Robby and Johnny were back in action, now wearing their FBI shirts Johnny had gotten them at the gift shop
Looking at Robby on his right the teen had only been chugging the milk jug within his hand trying to fix the throbbing and heated pain within his throat but it still burned really bad
"You sure you're alright ?" Johnny asked as Robby had finished the jug placing it on the floor of the van
"Yeah" Robby said with a small burp before clearing his throat
"Never better"
Wiping his mouth Robby just shook his head and Johnny was still left in wonder
"You know I still don't know how you managed to eat that last Chilli Pepper" Johnny said leaving Robby to just smirk
"I didn't" he admitted before pulling out the pepper from his pocket leaving Johnny proud yet still very confused
"What were you chewing on then ?" Johnny asked and Robby had just pulled out the Mexican candy Johnny bought with a smile
Looking at the bag before looking up at Robby's smile Johnny Immediately began to laugh which lead to Robby laughing as well
"That's gonna make for one hell of a story Rob" Johnny said leaving Robby to just smile
"That's about the most badass thing I've ever seen"
Looking at his dad with a smile the Father-Son Moment had sadly been interrupted with Johnny's phone ringing and Immediately Johnny had dug for it before picking it up
"Hey Carmen"
" Johnny ! Miguel is with his dad, He doesn't understand that he's in danger. He doesn't know the kind of man Hector is"
Immediately hearing the fear in her voice Johnny knew just how dire this situation was
"Did he say anything ?"
"Nothing" Carmen sighed
"...But I think I heard Hector say that they were going somewhere. El Hoyo Verde"
Putting the phone to his chest Johnny looked at Robby
"Search up El Hoyo Verde" Johnny said and Robby had Immediately nodded his head before getting to work on his phone
Giving it a couple of seconds Robby found a match
"I got something, But it's back the way we came"
Nodding his head Johnny reassured Carmen
"Alright were on our way" Johnny said before hanging up and Immediately making an aggressive U-turn

Following Hector inside the Building labeled El Hoyo Verde Immediately Miguel had noticed how Dark the interior of the building was
Hector had only let out an eager laugh leaving Miguel to smile as they followed the Spanish Rap Music further into the building and soon enough Miguel had seen Hector had taken them to a underground fighting ring as a giant MMA Octagon sat in the middle leaving two men to battle it out with one another
"Hey" Hector said tapping Miguel's shoulder
"This way"
Soon enough Hector had led Miguel to the top of a platform leaving the teen to just laugh in excitement
"This is awesome !" Miguel exclaimed leaving Hector to smile and laugh
"I knew you'd love it" Hector said before looking back at a waiter
"Hey, Fortaleza. Dos"
Continuing to look at the fight below him Hector turned back seeing one of the fighters approach him making him smile more
"Vicente !"
"Hector !" the fighter responded leaving Miguel to look back at the man
"How you doing, Man" Hector asked as he and the fighter had shook hands reeling in close
"Permítanme presentarles a mi amigo. Nos acabamos de conocer" (let me introduce my friend here. We just met)
"This is Vicente. He's the headline fight tonight" Hector said introducing the man to Miguel who just smiled and waved before shaking his hand as well
"Nice to meet you"
"Mi amigo es un campeón de artes marciales, ¡Y te puede quitar el trabajo así! " (my buddy is a martial arts champion. and he can take away your job like that !) Hector joked snapping his fingers making Miguel and Vicente laugh
Tapping Miguel on his shoulder Vicente told the two he had to leave, get ready and warm up and Hector just playfully punched Vicente in the chest
"Second Round. Max" he said making Vicente chuckle
Looking at Hector's posture seeing as he stood tall and strong Miguel chuckled
"So you're kinda like the mayor here, Huh ?"
Fixing his belt Hector titled his head in thought
"Well, I made a lot of money back in the day, but not in the restaurant business. You know" Hector said leaving Miguel to just nod his head
"The kind of business where you make a lot of friends in high places….Enemies too"
The last part left Miguel a little uneasy but he thought nothing of it as the ongoing fight was only ramping up as one of the fighters had pushed his opponent into the cage
"But I put the past away" Hector said making Miguel nod his head in understatement
Approaching the two a waiter holding a tray had came sparking Hector's interest
"Ah ! Tequila" he said as he and Miguel picked up their glasses before clashing cups
Seeing Hector take a sip Miguel was more hesitant only holding onto the glass as he searched for his words
"So….uh….about putting the past away….how would you feel if it….I don't know, came back ?"
Giving it some thought Hector just chuckled
"Let's just say I hope that day never comes" he said with a chuckle and Miguel had only nodded his head at Hector's laugh masking the hesitation in his face before smiling again at Hector

At the LaRusso household Daniel with a eager smile on his face had continued to put Chozen's suit jacket on
"This is perfect ! better than I could've imagined, You connected with him. And now we can dig deeper, figure out what his plan is, and if he gives us anything, we can pounce on it !"
Fixing his Jacket collar Chozen looked up at Daniel blankly
"Too small"
Nodding his head Daniel understood exactly what Chozen meant
"Yeah, you're right. Ok better idea, when you get there check for any blueprints or plans Silver might have-"
"No no" Chozen chuckled
"Daniel-San, the suit. It's too small" Chozen said making Daniel sigh as he took off Chozen's jacket ready to put it back in the closet so that he could swap it out with the gray one
"You are nervous, Daniel-San" Chozen said making Daniel pause as he put the jacket back on the bed before looking back at him
"Yeah…Yeah, I guess I am" Daniel had to admit
"Remember, everything Silver does, has a purpose. He is a man without honor"
Nodding his head Chozen understood Daniel's hesitation
"My uncle tried to teach me about honor. But I was not ready to learn" Chozen he said
"I thought shortcuts, cheating, would get me through faster, make my life easier, my cowardice was exposed for all to see"
Sitting in her room Tory just looked at her Trophy with a gloomy and pouting face, All that work, all the time she put in….just to end up living a lie, holding false success in her hands…it hurt more than any kick or punch she could receive. Which was why she just placed her Trophy down on the ground
"We will find his weakness" Chozen said as he walked to the entrance of Silver's mansion
"We'll push him to his limit, He will reveal his true colors, for all to see"
With a simple ring of a doorbell a butler had opened the door for Chozen greeting the older man with a simple head nod
"You'll have to play his game. But don't let your guard down, If he sees a weakness you may not even know until it's too late" Daniel said
Walking within the house Chozen had noticed the camera in Silver's living room before the man of the hour had made his appearance walking up to Chozen with a smile
"He'll do things to make you feel special"
Pouring Chozen a glass straight out of a Cobra bottle Chozen too his seat across from Silver
He got me on his side once he'll try to do the same thing with you. His plan has an expiration date. Silver's too smart, Eventually he'll figure us out. And when he does Be ready to fight"
"Yamazaki" Silver said at Chozen with a point
"50 year old, I promise that'll be the best Whiskey you'dve ever had" Silver said as waiter had come from door behind Silver with silver trays in their hands
Picking up the glass Silver watched as Chozen had taken a sip, soon a smile formed on the man's face as he savored the taste
"You were correct" Chozen said much to Silver's pleasure as the waiters revealed the meals to the men
"A taste of home. Filleted Hamo" Silver smiled leaving Chozen to just look down at his plate below him
"So how long have you been in the Valley ?"
"One year" Chozen answered truthfully
"I was planning to retire when I saw your advertisement"
"So why do you want the job ?"
"You assume, I want the job" Chozen said leaving Silver taken aback a little, but he only smiled at Chozen's boldness
"I am not yet sure: Chozen replied
"The Other applicant would kill to work for me"
"But you said there were issues with your former partner ?" Chozen said bringing up Kreese only made Silver drop his head in deep thought
"We've had our bumps in the road, sure. Dealt with some disloyalty but we're back on track now" Silver replied taking a sip of his glass
"Your success does not surprise me. Your students are well trained, Especially your champion"
Finally starting to dig into their meals Silver had smirked
"Well, our students are our legacy. And while I hoped Cobra Kai would be bearing Two Champions…..I'm just as satisfied that we made history with one"
Nodding his head Chozen only had to question
"And whose legacy do you carry ?"
"My Master was Kim Sun-Yung. Among others, and you ? your father ?"
"Uncle" Chozen corrected leaving SIlver to nod his head
"I was raised by his teachings, in the way of martial arts. My Father…..died when I was young"
"Hmm….what killed him ?"
Tightening his jaw Chozen had responded in nothing but truth
"Cowardice"
"I struggled with my own Cowardice, I lost a fight, A fight I should have won. Rivalries die slow deaths, Especially in Japan" Chozen said leaving Silver to tilt his head and diverge his eyes in thought
"I can relate. I have a rival in this Dojo business in fact" Silver said letting out a small laugh
"Actually….heh….It's two now, These guys, LaRusso and Lawrence"
Fixing himself in his chair Chozen noticed the smile forming on Silver's face as he was all ears to hear more
"But it's never too late. To get the last laugh right" Silver said raising his glass and Chozen just nodded his head making Silver chuckle
"Grab your drink, I want to show you something"

Opening the back door to the underground club Johnny had stuck his foot out stopping the door from closing before soon enough he and Robby came through the door entering the club themselves
"Look at this MMA grab-ass bullshit" Johnny scoffed at Robby before looking at a fighter being bandaged up by a medic
"Hector Salazar ! Do you know him ?" Johnny asked only receiving head shakes as Johnny and Robby continued walking
More and more they asked some of the fighters but they either didn't know what Johnny was asking or were to locked in on warming up to even care to ask which just lead Johnny and Robby to continue walking from the locker room into the main area of the club not noticing a man who was leaning on a locker who just looked both Johnny and Robby down before calling on his phone
Continuing to watch the Fight Miguel and Hector continued to smile at the sight before them as Hector's phone started to ring
Not thinking anything of it Hector pulled his phone out of his pocket before picking up
"Que Pasa ?" (what's up)
"Héctor, hay unos gringos aquí preguntando por ti" (hector, there are some gringos here asking about you) the man on the phone said making Hector raise an eyebrow
"Gringos ? ¿Qué gringos? ¿Con quién habían venido?" (what gringos ? who'd they come with ?)
"Creo que están con el FBI" (I think they're with the FBI)
Hearing the words come through the phone Hector shook his head
"el hijo de puta" (Son of a bitch)
"Escuchen, aquí no tienen jurisdicción. Así que mantenlos ocupados" (listen they don't have jurisdiction here. So keep them busy)
"Si"
Nodding his head Miguel took a sip of his drink before putting the cup down seeing how troubled Hector was as it was written all over his face
"Everything ok ?" Miguel asked but Hector just scoffed before looking at Miguel with an entire new demeanor
"Who were you on the phone with earlier ?" Hector suddenly asked leaving Miguel completely speechless
"Uhhmmm…"
Not liking his answer Hector got up from his slouched position and tightened his jaw leaving Miguel to know he needed to give an answer
"Just my mom. I was just checking up on her, she called that's all-" Miguel chuckled nervously
"Right, right, right" Hector interrupted as he placed a hand on his hip
"So you came to Mexico all alone ?"
Nodding his head Miguel replied more hesitant then ever
"Yeah ? I was, uh, Backpacking like I told you-"
"I know what you said !" Hector interrupted making breaking his smile
"Were you following me ?"
Making Miguel's heart drop he can tell whatever news he got did more than put him on edge
"What ? no !"
"Are you with the feds ?!"
"What ! no ! no ! no ! Absolutely not"
Immediately grabbing at Miguel's of his jacket Miguel had pushed him off which caused Hector to grab him again reeling him in closely with a more tighter grip
"Hey ! hey hey !"
"HEY !" Hector growled absolutely scarring Miguel as the man opened his jacket checking for a wire
With his heart starting to heavily beat Hector had let go of Miguel before backing up a little
"Give me your phone" he said making Miguel's eyes go wide
"What ? I got nothing on my phone, I mean. I'm a nice gu-"
"Don't make my ask again" Hector growled now making Miguel's hands tremble has he shingly reached into his pocket to grab his device
Before he could even hand it to Hector the man had snatched the phone out of Miguel's hand before Immediately checking his contacts
Seeing everyone Miguel was close too Hector had looked up at Miguel and by the way he hadn't already smashed Miguel's face in by now Miguel only assumed he didn't find what he was looking for
But that hadn't stopped him from going to his photos only looking back at Miguel who just held his hands within his pockets with a face of disdain
Scrolling through photo after photo Miguel had taken some with him and Sam, the many drunken photos him and Moon took at the after party, the one his mom took of him, Demetri and Eli before the tournament started, Another of them at the drive in theater
Hector just continued to scroll through photo after photo until he soon ended up with nothing, Nothing but the photo of Him, Him Mom and His Yaya, But Hector didn't get to see it as the commotion of the MMA fight going down below caught his attention before he sighed seeing he had gone to far
"Sorry about that Kid…I'm sorry I apologize" Hector said giving Miguel his phone back watching as he stuffed it back in his jacket pocket before his hands retreated their as well
Seeing the discomfort on Miguel's face Hector tried to lighten the mood by fixing his collar
"People are not always what they seem, hmm ?"
Miguel's face still didn't budge
"You can never be too sure" he said before patting Miguel on his back but it still didn't bring back his smile
That was long gone by now
Walking into the main lobby Hector Saw Johnny and Robby, but more importantly he saw their FBI shirts making his eyes shoot up like fireworks as they continued to search around
"Hey" Hector said to Miguel getting his attention
"Let's get out of here, come on" Hector said before soon enough Miguel followed him with a sigh and a dropped expression
Down below in the lobby the man who had been watching Robby and Johnny appeared along with Vicente
In spanish the announcer began to call out Vicente's name but Johnny had squinted his eyes as he was sure he saw Miguel up above
"Hey….MIGUEL !" Johnny yelled soon dragging Robby's attention as well as Johnny had tapped Robby before pointing at Miguel and hector leaving Robby to nod his head as he found him as well
"MIGUEL ! HEY MIGUEL !" Johnny had called out still to no prevail as he and Robby chased after them only to find themselves stopped by Vicente and two other people behind him
Johnny didn't have time for this
"Get the fuck out the way" Johnny growled but that didn't stop the man
"No te vas a acercar a Héctor" (you're not going near hector)
"Uno Momento !" the announcer said getting sight of the situation at hand as Johnny tried to walk past him only to be pushed back
"¡Parece que el lobo está teniendo problemas para subir al ring !" (looks like the wolf is having trouble getting in the ring) the announcer said before Immediately Johnny had punched Vicente in the face knocking his back to the ring
Immediately the people surrounding had gotten up backing out of their seats and Johnny had just kicked only for it to be caught by Vicente
Seeing one of the men trying to attack at Johnny from behind Robby had quickly kicked the approaching man away knocking him into a plethora of chairs before punching another one of Vicente's men soon sweeping his feet making him crash to the ground
"¡El lobo se apodera de este loco hombre blanco! mientras que los entrenadores de Vicente parecen tener su propia pelea !" (the wolf grabs a hold of this crazy white man ! while Vicente's trainers seem to have their own fight going on)
Receiving a gut punch from Vicente the man who picked up Johnny before dropping him to the ground with a hard thud making Johnny painfully groan
Grabbing at Robby Immediately the teen had ducked under the swing of the man who spotted him and Johnny in the first place
Breaking free from his grab Robby struck the man in the gut a couple of times before kicking him square in the chest knocking him back a little as he had fully gotten into his fighting position
Blocking Vicente's heavy swing. Vicente had quickly grappled Johnny but Johnny reversed the attack trying to bring Vicente to the ground which he only moved out of
"¡El hombre blanco loco tiene algo de ofensa!" (crazy white men have some offense !) the announcer said as Johnny had kicked Vicente in his lower leg before spin kicking him in the face making him stumble while Robby had kicked both sides of the man's ribs before spin kicking him in the face as well
"¡Y ESTÁN HACIENDO KARATE!" (AND THEY'RE DOING KARATE !)
Hitting Vicente with another spin kick making him stumble into a nearby man Robby had blocked the man's punch grabbing his arm before smashing the man's face into his knee before flipping him to the ground
"¡ES KARATE CONTRA MMA!" (IT'S KARATE VERSUS MMA !)
Trying to punch at Vicente the man had Immediately flipped Johnny to the ground before following up with a punch to the face as he gripped Johnny's shirt making him flop to the floor
Picking Johnny up again by his shirt to give him another punch the front of Johnny's shirt had ripped causing Vicente to look at the piece of fabric in confusion
Shaking his head Johnny tried to grab at Vicente's leg but the man had moved out the way before getting low to the ground to put Johnny in a sleeperhold only fueling the announcer more
"¡Las cosas no pintan bien para White Lightning!" (things don't look good for white lightning !) the announcer said as Johnny tried to break free from the hold but to no prevail
Pinning his opponent to the wall Robby had looked back at the trouble his Dad was in making his eyes go wide as he had Immediately grew an idea
Striking the man in the gut before giving him an uppercut to the face ending with a roundhouse making him flip to the ground Robby had grabbed the pepper from his pocket
"DAD ! CATCH !" Robby said before passing Johnny the pepper which he had caught Immediately squeezing into Vicente's eyes making the man groan as he let go of Johnny leaving the blonde to quickly get up to his feet
Yelling in pain about how he couldn't see Johnny with huffed and heavy breaths had done a spin kick knocking Vicente to the ground making the small crowd watching them cheer
"¡Espectacular !" (Spectacular !) the announcer said as Johnny and Robby had soon stood over Hector with glares on their faces
"Alright, el cabron, Last time. Where's Hector" Johnny asked and with what vision Vicente had he just groaned before talking

"Check this out" Silver said showing Chozen his room full of swords with a proud smile on his face
"Some of the finest swords in the world. I figured you'd appreciate them"
Nodding his head Chozen knew Silver was right
"Very much, Exquisite taste" Chozen said making Silver smile as he picked up on his eyes looking at one of the swords with a wooden handle
"This one" Silver smirked putting his drink down so that he could pick up the sword and take off it's scabbard revealing the blade
"This was wielded by Uesugi Kenshin himself" Silver said proudly making Chozen nod his head
"The fourth battle of Kalanakachima, It's called Meiyo aru Kyodai"
"Honored Brother" Chozen said to Silver making the older man smile again
"At least that's what the auction house told me" Silver chuckled
"Might all be bullshit, right" he said with a small laugh as he looked at the sword
"But hey, there are A few things more valuable than a great story don't you think"
"Story is only words" Chozen said
"Belief in story, much more valuable"
Seething the sword back into its scabbard Silver had nodded his head in agreement
"So you're still not sold on Cobra Kai then ?"
"I am not here because you want me to teach Karate. You aspire for something far greater, what is your true ambition ?"
Pursing his lips Silver thought on Chozen's words, his head falling in wonder before he scratched the corner of his mouth before speaking
"I never had any children..My only Legacy is Cobra Kai" Silver admitted
"We're already the number one dojo in the Valley, but I'm thinking a lot bigger than just the valley, the lessons we teach are the tools. All over the world kids need to become stronger. I have a plan that will make Cobra Kai and karate as synonymous as….Starbucks and Coffee !"
Hearing the gearness in Silver's voice as he was moving, pacing back and forth Chozen stood tall
"And what is this plan ?"
Letting a small pause halt between the two Silver had cleared his throat
"That's something I might feel comfortable confiding in with my right-hand man" Silver said as he began to walk towards Chozen
"If you're willing to take the job"
Giving Silver's proposition some thought Chozen's eyes had diverted by be soon looked back at Silver
"Yosh !" Chozen said making Silver grin before clapping his hands
"A toast then" Silver proposed picking up his own glass
"righting the wrongs of the past and coming back on top"
Raising his class to Chozen, Chozen brought his clas sup as well
"Karii" he said only making Silver grin more
"Karii" he responded back as they clinked glasses before taking a sip

Walking behind Hector Miguel followed the man inside of some restaurant, probably one of his own ones as Hector had just scratched his head before frantically closing the door again as he looked out the window in concern
Seeing how frantic and paranoid Hector was moving Miguel grew more and more concerned by the second, ever since he got the phone call he's completely been on edge, and Miguel's concern had only grown once he saw Hector bring out a large bottle of Liquor from the bar
"You know, we should probably get you home. I could drive you-"
"No,no,no" Hector said shaking his head
"We gotta lay low a few days" He said walking to the bar to meet Miguel as he started to unscrew the bottle cap
"Maybe a week or two"
Pouring the glass in front of Miguel, the teen just raised a confused eyebrow
"What about Maria ? and Luis ?"
"Ah" Hector shrugged them off
"They'll be fine, she's only after my money in the first place" Hector said before taking his shot leaving Miguel's face of devastation to slowly turn into anger
"Why would you say that ?...she…she loves you ? so does Luis ?...you-your his father to him"
Letting out a drunken laugh Hector shook his head as he pressed the nearby vending machine opening it up before grabbing a wad of cash
"You know about Icarus, Kid ? hmm ? My Dad used to tell me all the greatest stories"
Pocketing the wad of cash Miguel could see the alcohol start to take effect as he started to slowly get more aggressive
"That was his favorite, "Fly too close to the sun, chiquito…you'' burn your wings right off" he drunkenly laughed leaving Miguel to just look at him with scrunched fist
"What you don't learn till you get older is that the sun is the government" Hector said but Miguel just shook his head
"It's women" again Miguel shook his head
"You fly to high, and they come and…bring you down" Hector said but Miguel couldn't stop shaking his head as Hector just took a fat sip of his liquor
"No, no, no, no, no" Miguel had disagreed clenching his head in disappointment as Hector had drunkenly nodded his head
"Sorry kid, People will always come after what's yours"
Turing back to face Hector the man had just pulled out a gun and placed it on the counter making Miguel's eyes go wide
"They want you to sleep with one eye open…..I can't even go back to my home in Ecuador. I mean can you imagine ?"
With his fist clenched and anger not even being able to be explained Miguel knew he had to ask
"What happened in Ecuador ?"
The question had just made Hector scoff shaking his head as he looked at himself in the mirror before looking back at Miguel
"Success" he said shrugging his shoulders
"Success happened. That woman I told you about ? the one who ran away, I was practically your age when we got married"
Diverging his eyes in thought Miguel's jaw started to drop
"Hey hey !" Hector said getting Miguel's attention again
"Don't ever make that mistake" Hector told him leaving Miguel speechless
"She couldn't stand me doing my business. And her mother ? bshhh, even worse, old hag would never get off my back, THEY TRIED TO FUCK WITH ME ! A SUCCESSFUL MAN ! A MAN WHO GAVE THEM EVERYTHING ! AND THOSE CORRUPT SONS OF BITHCES IN ECUADOR ! THEY DID THE SAME !"
Looking at his Father in nothing but shame, and disappointment Miguel just shook his head not able to hear anymore
"And you know what I regret ?"
Looking at Hector with nothing but seriousness on his face Hector gave him the straightest look ever before shrugging his shoulders
"Nothing"
That was it, that was the knife stab to the heart
His Father had regretted nothing about how things went with his Mom
"Nothing ?" Miguel asked desperately
"Not even a little ?" he tried to double down but Hector shrugged his shoulders
"That is the cost of doing business Kid" Hector said as he moved from his spot behind the bar so that he could face Miguel like a man
Miguel could practically smell the liquor in his breathe as he continued to clench his fist
"That is the cost !"
"So the cost to becoming successful…is to leave everything and everyone behind" Miguel said trying to hide the quake in his voice
"Leave everyone….and everything you know and only…only care for yourself ?"
Grasping at Miguel's shoulders Miguel had Immediately shrugged Hector's hand off of him as his eyebrows started to furrow
"Don't touch me-"
"Hey, calm down-"
"NO !" Miguel had suddenly snapped
"NO ! DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO CALM DOWN YOU PENDEJO !" Miguel practically roared leaving Hector's eyebrows to furrow now as they both had grown a common interest in newfound anger
"HEY !"
"YOUR JUST GONNA LEAVE ! MARIA ! AND LUIS BEHIND ! ANOTHER FAMILY THAT YOU'VE MADE ! ONLY EXPENDABLE TO YOU FOR YOUR OWN GOOD !" Miguel groaned in uncontrolled anger
"This is how we survive Mijo !" Hector said pointing at himself before trying to point at Miguel but he just slapped his hand away
"NO ! DON'T DO THAT ! I…I AM NOT YOUR SON !" Miguel snarled
"THIS IS HOW YOU SURVIVE ! YOU KNOW WHY ! BECAUSE YOU'RE A COWARD !"
"Kid-"
"YOUR NOTHING MORE THAN A PATHETIC LOSER !"
"I'm warning you-"
"AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE….THAT YOU, YOU ! WERE GONNA HELP ME FIND MYSELF….BECAUSE TURNS OUT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE !"
Having enough of Miguel's disrespect Hector let the alcohol do the talking as he Immediately tried to punch Miguel only leaving Miguel to Immediately duck out of the way before kicking Hector with a beyond raged "Hi-YAH" knocking him into the bar counter
Letting out a groan Immediately both Miguel and Hector had thought the same thing as their eyes looked at the gun placed on the counter. But before Hector could even try to go and grab it Miguel had kicked his hand directly into the platform hearing a couple cracks as he might've broken something before Immediately grabbing the gun throwing it away
Angrily clutching at his hand Hector snarled at Miguel trying to punch him again only to have Miguel grab his fist before launching him into a series of tables
Trying to get up Hector was Immediately punched by Miguel smashing him back down into the broke table
Grabbing at his collar Miguel had struck again, and again, and again, and again and again
Seeing Hector spit out blood Miguel didn't stop striking at his father punching him until his knuckles started to bleed as he wanted to do nothing more but sooth the pain that wasn't going away
Tears started to fall out of Miguel's face as he continued to punch him more and more the red blood staining his white jacket
"YOU ! FUCKING ! ASSHOLE !" Miguel cried as he punched him at every single word
"17 YEARS ! YOU MISSED 17 YEARS OF MY LIFE ! AND YOU REGRET NOTHING !"
Punching Hector extra hard the older man was let go as he spit out a chunk of blood that pooled around his mouth before Miguel grabbed at his collar forcing him to see the burning rage in his eyes
"Look at me LOOK AT ME PENDEJO !" Miguel yelled
"That woman, the one who left, she was pregnant. She left because she was scared of what you are, 17 years ago she had a child, 17 years ago Carmen Diaz had a child AND THAT CHILD WAS ME ! I'M YOUR SON !" Miguel yelled shaking Hector in his hands as the man's eyes went wide in shock
Utterly speechless and compelled dumbfounded at what he was seeing Hector didn't know what to say as he saw…hell he was getting killed by his… his son
Practically trembling where he stood Miguel dropped Hector, only shaking his head as Hector grunted on impact before looking up at Miguel's beyond disappointed face
"I never needed you, I never needed you when I drove my first car, I never needed you when I broke my first board, I never needed you for my first prom…..I got through 17 years of life without you, and I'm gonna go through 17 more and beyond without you because I NEVER NEEDED YOU ! AND I NEVER WILL !" Miguel yelled at Hector with tears in his eyes
Looking at the bruised and bloodied man that was his father Miguel had only shook his head and scoffed, never had been more disappointed in himself to think…..
It wasn't even worth it
"You've gone your whole life thinking I never existed….Let's keep it that way" Miguel said leaving Hector to just gasp quietly as he watched Miguel start to leave the store only stopping as his hand was on the handle of the food as he didn't even fully turn back to face him
"Your not even worth the goodbye Hector" Miguel said before leaving his Father behind

Walking out of the store Miguel shook his head with tears as he Immediately started huffing his breathe finding it hard to breathe
Looking down at the blood on his hands Miguel had just shook his head before he started to fully cry, letting out all the pain he's been holding in this past few months
"MIGUEL !" a voice had called after him and with tears in his eyes Miguel had looked up to find Johnny
Seeing him beaten up and looking like shit only made him cryingly laugh as he picked himself up before walking to Johnny who had only walked towards him as well
Not hesitating to fall into Johnny's arms Miguel had let the tears flow as he sobbed into Johnny's hug and the blonde man only embraced him tighter promising he'd never let go
"I'm sorry" Miguel cried
"I'm so sorry"
Holding Miguel tighter Johnny had just nodded his head
"It's ok, you're ok now. We're gonna take you home" Johnny reassured and Miguel had just nodded his head as he clutched onto Johnny tighter like a lost child who who just found his father
Coming out the car Robby had stood in front of the car watching the events unfold as soon enough he and Miguel had locked eyes and Robby had just given Miguel a head not with a soft expression agreeing this wasn't the time
And even Robby had to admit
It was good seeing Miguel again..

Pacing back and forth as she bit her nails nervously Carmen couldn't explain how she felt
It had officially been a week since Miguel went missing
For the past 2 days Johnny had been MIA and so was Miguel and as she watched the moon in the night sky Carmen was about to make it three
Looking down at her phone seeing the time date 9:30 she figured she had enough of this and Immediately went online ready to search for a bus ticket
CLICK
Opening the door to their apartment Carmen had Immediately turned around to find Miguel coming inside
His face looked beyond tired and his tears had dried up by now but he looked like he was ready to make some more as he dropped his bag at the door before he just stood there like a kid ready to be yelled at
Dropping her phone on the carpet ground nothing stopped Carmen from running to her quivering son before Immediately they both dropped to the floor
"You were right Mom…" Miguel admitted in nothing but sadness as he hid in his mother tighter as she gripped him even harder
"He wasn't a good man" Miguel sobbed and Carmen had just held him harder as she began cradling him like he was a baby all over again

Opening the door to their home Anthony was Immediately surprised to find Robby on the other end holding a small bag and a bruised smile
Almost dropping the Ipad in his hand Anthony had to catch it
"Holy ! shit ! Robby !" Anthony said making Robby chuckle as he quickly tried to sshhhh him
"Hey Anthony" Robby laughed as Immediately the younger boy had hugged him before Robby stepped inside
"Surprised you were the one to open the door" Robby said but Anthony just shrugged his shoulders
"Mom and Dad are out with Chozen" he said leaving Robby confused
"Who's Chozen ?"
"Long story, You missed a lot, better question why's your face look like that ?"
Letting out another chuckle Robby had just pulled out some mexican candy from his bag and handed it to Anthony
"I'll pay you in Mexican candy if you just don't question it" Robby said making Anthony's face immediately light up as he took the deal leaving Robby to chuckle once more
Not hesitating to open the bag Anthony pointed to the stairs
"Sam's upstairs getting ready for bed, I'm sure you know where to find her" Anthony said leaving Robby to just smirk as he already started to ascend the stairs

Letting out a small sigh Robby stood right outside Sam's door
He didn't know it'd be this hard to do this until he got to this position but now look where he was, his fist up ready to knock on her door but no moves were being made
Why was this so hard again ?
Swallowing the lump in this throat Robby had thrown all causation to the wind and knocked but before he could even put his fist to the wooden door, the door had suddenly opened spooking both Sam and Him
"AH !"
"AH !"
Dorks
Practically jumping at what she saw when her eyes had adjusted to who was at her door Robby Immediately smiled at her bright joyful everything that meant happy in the book smile
"ROBBBBYYYYY !" Sam had cried immediately hugging at him making Robby laugh as he hugged her back
"Hey Sam…surprise" he said making Sam chuckle as they finally pulled back to face one another
Letting him inside her room Sam made she she locked the door behind him before Immediately looking back at Robby as she had finally noticed the bruises on her face
"Oh my god" she cooed placing a hand on his cheek so that she could start to inspect the bruises
"Robby what happened ?"
Letting out his own chuckle Robby just kissed her palm
"Let's just say I've punched a lot of things these last few days" Robby stated making Sam giggle
Reaching into his bag Robby started showing some the stuff he brought home for her
"Put I didn't come empty handed as I first got you this" Robby said showing her the bobble head of the dog with the sombrero which made Sam laugh as she accepted it
"Awww, it's adorable" Sam said shaking the item up and down more as she watched it bounce
"But more importantly….I got us this"
Putting the bag down Robby took out the two necklaces he bought from the shop leaving Sam practically at awe as Robby had showed her the half heart necklace with the S on it
Looking back up at Robby with sparkles in her eyes Robby had just chuckled lightly
"They had these at a gift shop and I figured….we've been split apart long enough….now we can have something that brings us together. Whenever we need to do so, we can always remember what we're fighting for" Robby said as he held up her necklace
Not knowing what to say as she was literally at a lost for words Robby had just put the jewelry piece around her neck before Robby did the same around his leaving Sam to touch the half heart with her first name initial on it as she looked up at Robby with undisputed love in her eyes
"I want you to know I love you" Robby told her
"And I know I have a lot to make up for but I just wanted you to know…Sam you mean everything to me, and I'd….I'd spend the rest of my life making sure you knew that"
Not knowing how to respond or what to see to his words Sam had only responded in the best way she knew she could
Leaning up to him Sam pressed her lips against his, reaching the back of his head with a hand to deepen the kiss more the passion between the two had only grew as Robby brought a hand up to her face to cradle her more
Feeling the intimacy between the two be shared between one another Robby didn't hesitate to talk off his jacket and Sam had quickly followed suite in his footsteps as she started to unbutton her pajama shirt
Reeling back a little so that he could take his shirt off revealing his muscular frame to Sam that always made her melt Robby helped her finish taking off her shirt before she took the scrunchie out her hair letting her hair fall and flow
Quickly picking Sam up Robby carefully placed her on her bed before he started to trail his kisses down her neck making Sam gasp and cry Robby's name as their fingers he soon enough laced together as they held one another tightly
Trailing his open mounted kisses down her chest Robby saw the initial off his name between the valley of her breast making his heart ache as he just looked at her with a smile, one she lovingly recorrupted as they had kissed again more intimate and deeper than ever as Robby had just reached his hand out to turn off the lights to her room

With his arms crossed Silver saw Tory walk into the Dojo putting up her Trophy on the display next to the others
"Nichols, so you've made your decision"
Letting out a sigh Tory turned to face Silver
"I'm Back" she told him before looking around
"Where's everyone else ?"
"No class today" Silver told her
"There's some business I need to take care of"
Leaving Silver with a headnod Tory had just walked away running into Chozen as she nodded her head to him while he did the same before she left and he entered
Before stepping on the mat Chozen had bowed only to meet Silver's small scowl making Chozen confused
"Am I early ?"
"On the contrary" Silver said
"You're right on time, Fall in !"
In confusion Chozen watched as the other Sensei's had made their appearance jogging down the steps that lead to Silver's office while Silver himself ran his hand atop his head with a sorrowed sigh
"It seems you weren't entirely honest with me, were you" Silver told Chozen as all the Sensei's had lined up before them
" Chozen"
Intaking a deep breathe Chozen had only exhaled before speaking
"How did you know ?"
Putting his hand together Silver sighed
"Have you ever heard of a man, Masataka Taketsuru ?" Silver asked
"About a hundred years ago, He moves from Hiroshima to Scotland. He studied organic chemistry, Then he returned to Japan With the secret of great whisky, He built up his own distillery just outside of Kyoto. His brand, Suntory, the Whiskey we drank last night…considered the best in the world"
Finishing the circle he walked around Chozen Silver had put his hands to his belt he just looked at Chozen's glare
"I've had the pleasure of drinking it right where it's made. And Every time I raise a glass with one of my old friends from Kyoto, we toast Kampai !"
Immediately Silver's face had fallen into a growl
"So imagine my surprise….when my new friend from Kyoto, raises a glass, and says something they would only say in Okinawa"
With his glare sitting on Chozen's face he was mad at himself for slipping up and ruining everything for Daniel
"Karii" Chozen growled
"Karii" Silver repeated with a head nod
"ANYONE ! who takes this man down, gets the job, AND I WILL PAY TRIPLE ! WHAT I PROMISED !" Silver said before stepping off the mat to watch as all the Sensei's had surrounded Chozen
With his arms folded Silver watched as Chozen took a deep breathe doing a form of Kata before he had suddenly blocked one of the Sensei's punches before striking him in the chest making him get knocked to the floor with great pain
Looking at Silver Chozen had Immediately dodged out of the way of one of the Sensei's attacks before grabbing the punch of another running the man into the Sensei's kick before throwing him to the ground
Blocking the Seseni's punch that stood to challenge him Chozen knocked his fist back to his face before slamming his fist into the inside of his arm making him fall to the ground as Silver only growled at the sight
Throwing the Sensei into another Chozen Immediately punched one of the men leaving them to drop before kicking one of the last three Sensei's not only making it two
Looking back and forth at the two Sensei's Chozen had cracked his neck before blocking one of the Sensei's attacks, raising his foot up to strike the man's lower leg and knee him in the face before pushing him down to the ground only leaving one remaining
Looking at the fear in the last Sensei's eyes Chozen grabbed the Man's punch kicking him in the back of the head before kneeing him in the face where he had only ended the fight with a flip to the ground before looking at Silver with a smirk
"Now we draw line" Chozen said Immediately grabbing the neck of one of the Sensei's who tried to sneak at him as Silver kept his arms crossed and scowl
"No more expansion ! no more senseis ! No challenge Miyagi-Do and Eagle-Fang, and Do not come near LaRusso family" Chozen said before flipping the man with one hand to the ground leaving him to land with a heavy thud
"You cross line, You will beg for mercy" Chozen told Silver before he made his leave and all Silver could do was watch before looking down at all the fallen Sensei's with a smirk on his face
Guess this wasn't over yet….
Good
This was gonna be fun
