Placing the Eagle-Fang shirt on Carmen's bell. Johnny and Carmen smiled and nodded their heads as they continued to count the days that the little bundle of Joy would be born
As the future parents continued to be in their own little world, Rosa grabbed the two brown lunch bags, handing one to Robby making him smile as she ruffled his hair before giving Miguel the other making him smile as well as she placed a kiss on his cheek
Dropping two sets of chopsticks into their bags Robby and Miguel followed Johnny out the apartment
Taking a sip of his morning Coffee, Daniel smiled to Amanda before taking his seat and picking up his croissant
A croissant that Anthony snatched off the plate and when Daniel tried to take it back Anthony had blocked his arm making everyone laugh as he and Sam headed out the door
Entering the Kitchen now wearing a robe in the mornings Chozen read the morning news paper seeing the News Article talk about Silver and Kreese arrested, in jail making him nod his head before placing the paper down on the table
Walking into the school seeing the big WELCOME BACK MOUNTAIN LIONS poster Miguel and Demetri had Immediately smiled when Yasmine and Moon came up to them. Kissing their respective boyfriends and grabbing their hands before they walked deeper into the school
Following shortly behind the group. Anthony and Lia walked side by side deep in their conversation about the Raid they did last night. But Anthony had soon stopped and paused once he saw Kenny who just looked at him as he held his backpack before walking away
Taking a deep breath as he took in everything that was High School. Lia tapped Anthony's shoulder making him smile as he followed her to class
With Mitch and Bert by her side Devon chuckled as the trio walked to the now big Miyagi-Fang Alliance added with the past Cobra Kai's. As everyone dabbed each other up greeting one another as they all felt like one big family. Under the same dojo
Waiting outside the Attendance office Eli and Sam nervously looked at one another before going back to biting their lips and nails but when the door opened they saw Tory and Robby who quickly held up their schedules making Eli and Sam smile. Going up to their respective partners each couple shared a kiss. But Sam and Robby only watched as Eli and Tory's lasted wayyyy longer than theirs did making them chuckle as they just walked away letting them share their moment
Driving by the parking lot where the Cobra Kai dojo once stood, A smile was put on Daniel's face when he saw the construction workers throwing the Cobra Kai Logo away into the dumpster
A different feeling of relief was washed upon Daniel as it felt like a new day, a new age. Because finally for once. There was Peacetime in the Valley

Cutting the last of the Bonsai Tree, Daniel had smiled at his wife who was starting to take up his Hobby
"Looks good" Daniel encouraged with a smile as he kissed the top of Amanda's head making her go "Aww"
"Do you hear that ?..." Daniel said getting Amanda's thought
"I mean do you really hear that ?...you know what that is ?"
Making Amanda raise an eyebrow in confusion at the silence Daniel just couldn't stop smiling
"That is the sweet, sweet sound of no more Karate wars" he said making Amanda chuckle as she joined him in smiling before going back to work on her Bonsai Tree
"This is what happens when you take down Terry Silver, when I did it back in '85, we got like, 30 years of peace"
"Well here's to 30 more, Unless he finds a way to get the charges dropped"
"Hey hey" Daniel cut her off avoiding any kind of those thoughts
"His reputation is ruined. No one's gonna fight for that guy ever again, Amanda we are in the clear"
"Hmm, right. Unless you-know-who-decides to jump out of the shadows" Amanda said finally turning her head to face her husband
"Listen if Kreese is dumb enough to show his face around here. There's gonna be an army of US Marshals just waiting to take him back to prison. Amanda" he reassured making her silently grin
"We won, Let's enjoy it"
"With Sam applying to College, Robby trying to figure out his future and Anthony starting high School, Is now really the best time to be entering the kids into a world Karate Tournament ?"
Daniel chuckled
"Silver wanted to use the Sekai Taikai to spread Cobra Kai worldwide. But now, if we win, Kids around the WORLD are gonna wanna join Miyagi-Fang"
"So Karate is gonna be a rest-of-our-lives Kinda thing huh"
"Don't worry Amanda" Daniel reassured as he took Amanda's hands
"After this tournament my full-time Sensei days are completely over" Daniel admitted actually surprising Amanda
"Oh ?"
"This tournament is my Karate swan song…..And what better way to go out than by sharing Mr Miyagi's wisdom with the entire world" Daniel said with a satisfied smile leaving Amanda happy that for once Daniel found peace within himself when it came to Karate

"Miyagi-Fang's going global boys" Johnny smiled as he continued to tear up the road with his muscle car
After Stingray gave him back the keys to the Charger, Johnny had taken off the previous Cobra Kai wrap and replaced it with the original Red and Black paint. Adding the Eagle-Fang logo on the side and blood access all over
Continuing to try and stabilize themselves within the car Johnny held an ecstatic face as he continued to drive. Realizing just how much he missed this damn thing
"Dad maybe you should slow down" Robby suggested but Johnny only pulled the handle back picking up the speed leaving Robby and Miguel to fall back into their seats again
"ARE YOU KIDDING ! You know how long I was stuck driving the damn MiniVan, I'm never slowing down again" Johnny said making Robby and Miguel laugh as they went back to wrapping their hands
"Once we win the Sekai Taikai, people are gonna be lining up to put Fang's on their backs. We're gonna need a second location, hundreds of Gis, a training room with those ice baths"
"Isn't that a little Aggressive ?" Robby smirked
"Hell yeah, Gotta have ice in your veins to take over the Karate game"
"What does Mr LaRusso think of all this ? I mean, isn't your partnership supposed to be 50-50 ?" Miguel said
"This is exactly what LaRusso wants, More People wanting to learn our mixed styles, trust me the guy's gonna go along with the plan. Plus if he disagrees I'm sure the payment cheeks we'll be getting will change his mind" Johnny said making Miguel chuckle
Robby had raised an eyebrow once he noticed Johnny not making the turn that would send them on the right path to Miyagi-Do
"Uhh Dad ? you missed the turn ? the Miyagi-Do dojo is back that way ?"
"Where not heading there" Johnny said
"LaRusso won't let me pile up bricks in the Backyard so were heading to the warehouse so we can break them like men"
Letting out a quiet sigh Miguel just looked at Robby
"Can you give me another one"
"Yep, more tape it is" Robby said as he applied more wrappings to Miguel's hand
Continuing their drive to the warehouse the trio had soon found the place being tore down by a construction team leaving them all to just watch as the once Abandoned warehouse was nothing more but bricks, rubble and stone
But what hurt the most was seeing the Eagle-Fang logo ripped in half and Miguel had seen Johnny's disappointed face
"Well….I mean you didn't even need this place anymore. Miyagi-Do's our dojo. And I'm sure Robby can convince Mr LaRusso to store some smashing bricks somewhere right ?"
Robby had quickly nodded his head trying to reassure His Dad
"Yeah, Mr LaRusso will come around. I'm sure of it Dad"
Slowly nodding his head Johnny just sighed before patting the boys on their backs
"Right….thanks guys…."

"I'm sorry about the Dojo Sensei" Miguel said as he and Johnny walked into the Miyagi-Do Dojo, seeing just how alive and full it was
Seeing everyone under one roof was still a crazy realization and thing to see as a whole. Everyone here at one point had their own personal vendettas against one another but to see everyone just on one big team still felt out of this world
"Ahh it's fine" Johnny said nodding his head
"You were right, This, THIS is our Dojo. Maybe seeing the Warehouse crumble to pieces was just what I needed to realize that"
Miguel simply nodded his head at Johnny's newfound maturity. The man he once met would've truthfully thrown a manchild like tantrum at the lost but Miguel was glad to see that Daniel's teachings seeped through to not only them but His partner as well
Scanning the Dojo with everyone getting along. Miguel didn't notice how split up Eli and Tory were from Robby and Sam as each couple was on opposite ends of the Dojo
Watching Robby walk up to Sam as she was practicing her Kata. A smile soon came to her face once she saw Robby, leaving them to engage in a kiss before he joined her.
Miguel switched over to Eli and Tory
Eli stood behind Tory, guiding her hands as he helped her perform her Kata, The couple couldn't hide their smiles as Tory had looked back and kissed Eli leaving him to hold her tighter as they went back to training
"So what's up with them ?" Johnny asked making Miguel sigh as he folded his arms and tilted his head a little
"Well the good news is they can actually be in the same vicinity of each other without fighting, But the Tension is still there. Besides their fight with Sensei Kim back at Cobra Kai they haven't truly shared a conversation together. They're still awkward together"
"Well whatever's going on with them I need it fixed ASAP" Johnny said
"Robby, Sam, Eli and Tory are some of our best fighters and with all hands on deck with training for the Sekai Taikai we don't have time for petty rivalries anymore"
MIguel nodded his head in total agreement
"I agree Sensei….I mean Eli and Robby and Sam and Tory just recently stopped hating each other, their fight with that woman seemed to have done something once they had a common enemy. Maybe something like that needs to happen again so we can jumpstart a friendship ?"
"Well whatever it is I know you'll figure it out" Johnny said to Miguel making him smile
"You're a smart kid, and the wisest out of us all. Whatever you have planned I know it'll work"
With a final back pat Johnny left Miguel alone to look at his four friends with a sigh and a head shake as he rubbed the back of his neck in thought

"Ok Great, why don't you take half the students, bring them out on the sparring deck and-"
Opening the sliding door Johnny had cut Daniel off getting his and Chozen's attention
"Shit, was I interrupting something ?" Johnny said as he dropped a bag full of stuff he salvaged from the warehouse
"No, No Actually we were just going over the lesson plan. What is that ?" Daniel asked raising an eyebrow at the bag full of stuff
"Oh this, it's just all that's left of my demolished Dojo"
"oh….Johnny I'm sorry"
Johnny just waved his hand
"It's fine" he said as he stepped over the beg before joining Chozen and Daniel
"So what's planned for today ? hmm, I got this new lesson on the drive over. I call it "Out of the frying pan, Into the Fire". So I'm gonna need a frying pan too"
"No, Today is my lesson" Chozen said making Johnny raise an eyebrow
"What ? I thought it was my day ?"
"Guys guys" Daniel said trying to Calm Johnny and Chozen down but it didn't give
"My Lesson helps the new students catch up" Chozen said
"My Lesson will catch them up faster and toughen them up" Johnny said
"Your lesson will burn Dojo down !"
"And your Lesson will probably put everyone to sleep !"
"GUYS !" Daniel said but before the conversation could continue the sliding door opened revealing Eli and Demetri
"Sensei….Sensei…..Sensei"
"Give us a minute guys were about to start soon"
"Actually…um, we got something we wanna show you before training" Demetri said getting Daniel, Johnny and Chozen's attention
Bringing the three Sensei's to the back part of the Dojo Eli and Demetri stood before everyone with a sheet covering something between them. Both their faces had some sort of excitement as they were pretty eager to show of their idea
"It's been a long road, but we're finally all on the same side. And as a reward, the toughest test any of us ever had to face" Eli said
"The Sekai Taikai is the most prestigious Karate Tournament in modern martial arts History. For over a century. Fighter from all across the globe have gathered around every two years, to compete for the title of world's best"
"If the All Valley is the playoffs than the Saikai Taikai is the Superbowl, or NBA Finals, Plus the Gladiator Games, and the Kumite from Bloodsport all rolled into one" Eli said
"Yeah" Johnny mumbled with a fist up
"If we win-"
Eli coughed
"Nope sorry, excuse me. When we win, the spoils will be…life-changing" Demetri said making everyone smile in anticipation
"But, it's gonna take all of our focus, trust, skills. And all the wisdom our Senseis have to offer" Eli said making Daniel, Johnny and Chozen smile
"Yes, which is why we decided to take one Huge thing off your plates so that you can have undivided attention in getting us ready for the Sekai Taikai. Our Rebrand"
"Yes ! after some spirited brainstorming and ad hoc focus-grouping…..not to mention about 300 thrown away pieces of paper" Eli mumbled rubbing the back of his neck as he could still feel the cramp in his hand
"We have a winner ! from Gi Designs to Logo to even our own Team celebration dance. Everyone, we give you…"
"THE OFFICIAL LOOK OF MIYAGI-FANG KARATE !" Eli and Demetri said before taking off the sheet
Immediately taking off the sheet everyone's eager smiles had dropped once they saw the terrible drawn Gi's and Mr Miyagi with Eagle Fang's
The Gi's had an uncomfortable look of Red and White mixed together right down the middle with the half logo of Eagle-Fang and Miyagi-Do on the back and the Mr Miyagi Logo spoke for itself
Everyone clapped and cheered to soften the blow but Daniel couldn't even force himself to do that as he just looked around before nodding his head
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"WE'RE NOT USING THAT LOGO !" Daniel said as he closed the sliding door
"Mr Miyagi was the most generous and honorable man I ever knew. I'm not gonna stain his legacy by turning him into some Karate Vampire !"
Hearing Daniel continued to complain on the other side Eli's face dropped as he sighed
"I don't think Mr LaRusso likes our idea…."
"Aw Honey" Tory cooed as she rubbed Eli's back
"We all hate it"
"What ?!"
Looking around at Miguel, Tory, Robby, Sam, Chris, Bert, Nate, Devon, Anthony and Mitch's faces Eli and Demetri only felt more bad
"What's there to hate ? The new Logo is badass !"
"Uhh let's start with the fact that you literally turned Mr Miyagi into a vampire ?" Robby said making Eli roll his eyes
"Well I didn't see you helping us with the drawing board"
"I promise you my idea would've been better"
"Guys don't start" Miguel sighed and luckily they listened
"The Gi Designs aren't the best either guys" Sam added
"Our Gi's can't be two different primary colors It's against regulation"
"Well I wish we would've known that 300 papers later…." Demetri said
"Ok let's not panic" Miguel said
"We can just redesign the redesign. Have everyone pitch in their own idea until we find a middle ground" Miguel said but his idea only made Eli and Demetri cringe as Demetri brought his closed hands up to his nose
"Miguel…..This Redesign took us Three Weeks to think of !" Demetri admitted making his eyes go wide
"All right LaRusso calm down. Don't give yourself a hernia" Johnny told Daniel
"There's gotta be some compromise, Let's just tell Hawk and Demetri their idea sucks and come up with something new"
Daniel sighed and shook his head
"No we don't speak down upon our students….no matter how bad their ideas are"
Saying something in Japanese Chozen had gotten Johnny and Daniel's attention
"No Compromise" he said
"Miyagi-Do has honor, tradition. Place of peace and History. Eagle-Fang is bird with teeth Johnny-San made in a day" Chozen said making Johnny's face scrunch
"It's clear that Miyagi-Fang cannot be Dojo name. Miyagi-Do is the only choice"
Immediately Johnny's face lit at Chozen's choice of words and Danile had only sighed and shook his head knowing there was gonna be a fight about this
"Says who Toguchi ?! YOU ? You haven't even been here long enough to get a vote"
"Been here long enough to fight Silver"
"Yeah and you lost. You took on one guy. I took on four and won"
"My one guy had a Samurai sword !"
"So did one of my guys. You don't hear me bitching about it !"
"Alright, come on stop it stop it !" Daniel said getting in between them forcing them to stop arguing
Looking back and forth at Chozen and Johnny Danile shook his head
"Chozen, Johnny's right. Our Partnership is 50-50. We are Eagle-Fang just as much as we are Miyagi-Do. The Miyagi-Fang name stays"
"HA !" Johnny said making Chozen groan
"But" Daniel said looking at Johnny making his face drop
"We cannot go to the Saikai Taikai with that logo and those Gi Designs. That I won't allow"
"HA !" Chozen said making Johnny tighten his jaw as he just flipped Chozen off
"We need to find a middle ground that leaves all of us satisfied and fighting won't help us solve this"
"Fight is exactly how we solve this" Chozen said as he looked at Johnny
"You, Me, on the mat" Chozen challenged Johnny
"Winner will Redesign. I win we go back to Miyagi-Do you win we keep Miyagi-Fang" Chozen stated keeping Johnny's scowl
"Or have I not been here long enough to kick your ass ?"
"Guys no one is fighting, Ok ? we need to focus on training the kids" Daniel said but the determination was already in Johnny's eyes
"Kids will never find out" Johnny waved off Daniel before stepping up to Chozen
"You wanna dance with the eagle, Toguchi ? cue the music"
"It will not be easy listening" Chozen smirked
"Oh yeah, what's it gonna be ? Flutes and wind chimes and shit ?" Johnny said now making Chozen scowl
"Monday, dawn, sparring deck"
"I be there !"
"I be there too"
With a final scoff Johnny was the one that walked away leaving the inside dojo and Immediately Daniel sighed and shook his head before looking at Chozen
"What the hell was that ?!" Daniel said making Chozen look at him
"We need to devote every amount of training for the Sekai Taikai, not petty fights like this ! like seriously our Dojo name ?"
"Don't worry Daniel-San. By tomorrow everything will be back to normal and we will be training under the arts of Miyagi-Do"
Daniel had only groaned
"That's not what this is about-"
"Is it not" Chozen said making Daniel think
"Our Gi's are white, we practice in Miyagi-San's old home. And more so the sign outfront says Miyagi-Do" Chozen said making Daniel sighed as he looked out front
"We may be named Miyagi-Fang. But look around Daniel-San, we are Miyagi-Do and it's about time Johnny-San understand that"
Patting Daniel on his shoulder. Chozen started walking away leaving Daniel to only think about how much he was giving into this 50-50 partnership

Letting out heavy and tried groans from training. Everyone walked out into the Dojo's lot ready to part their ways for the day
Stretching his neck Miguel let out a small groan before soon enough two arms wrapped around his neck catching him off guard
"Hi !" Moon said making Miguel smile once he released it was her
"Hey Babe" Miguel said before leaning down to kiss
"Have fun with your punching and kicking and whatnot. You look tired" Moon said as she brought her hands to his face and started to feel around making Miguel chuckle
God she was so adorable
"Yeah…yeah sorry Today was just….a lot that's all. Were trying to Redesign our Dojo and"
Immediately getting cut off by the sounds of arguing Miguel and Moon turned their heads to see Robby and Eli and Sam and Tory yelling at each other as they walked into the lot
Miguel had Immediately sighed and shook his head, not wanting to break up another one of their many fights they had today. But luckily this one ended itself leaving both couples to argue before walking away to their separate vehicles
Seeing first hand his main problem Moon understood why her boyfriend was like this
"Ohh, so these baggy eyes are stress related" Moon said leading to Miguel just nodding his head
"I don't know what to do. They just won't get along unless they're working together to punch or kick something. Robby and Eli's rivalry was worse than mine because they just genuinely hate each other and it doesn't help that Sam and Tory are dating them so it's only adding more fuel to the fire and right now everything's burning down" Miguel said leaving Moon to understand his problem as she could even hear the tiredness within his voice
"With the Tournament only getting closer we need to be on our A game but we can't do that if we're too busy fighting amongst ourselves. And all four of them are my closest friends I hate seeing them like this but I'm really starting to run out of ideas on what to do"
Leaving Moon to bit her lip in thought Miguel sighed, brining her chip up to look at him as he put on a smile
"I'm sorry I'm dropping all this on you" Miguel quickly apologized, pecking her lips.
"I'll figure something out. This isn't your problem. You ready for our date ? I just gotta go home and shower but it shouldn't take that long"
Moon nodded her head
"Yeah, I am but…I might've figured out a way we could help the Power Couples" Moon said and Immediately Miguel raised an eyebrow

Standing within the Arcade of Golf N Stuff Miguel continued to bounce on his toes completely unsure about this plan. Shown within his movements as he continued to grasp at his hands while looking back and forth waiting for the inevitable
Seeing how nervous her boyfriend was Moon had simply chuckled
"Miguel Relax" she reassured calming Miguel down some but not a lot
"Are you sure this plan will work ?"
Moon nodded her head
"Of course I am…"
Not liking the pause in Moon's voice Miguel looked at her, seeing how she bit her lip before pinching the air
"I'm 70% sure" she said making Miguel groan
"Moooon"
Turning her head to see Sam and Robby start to approach them. Moon put on a smile
"Ok it's go time"
Turning his head to see Eli and Tory. Miguel's stomach dropped and he swallowed the lump in his throat before nodding his head to Moon before breaking apart to greet the two couples
Walking up to Sam and Robby. Moon and Sam had Immediately squealed and hugged each other. Holding one another tightly as grins were plastered all over their faces
"Hi Robby" Moon waved leaving him to Smile as he waved back
"Hey Moon"
"Thank you and Miguel for inviting us out" Sam grinned
"With the Sekai Taikai coming up. Our lives have been non stop Karate, and This is exactly the break we needed to let loose and just enjoy our lives"
Nodding her head Moon tried to push down that thought that this was sorta a setup. Only hiding her deception behind her smile
"Yeah no problem, come on Miguel's waiting for us" she said before brining Sam and Robby to the met up location
Approaching Eli and Tory. Miguel had quickly smiled and so did they once they all noticed each other. Miguel approached the couple, doing his handshake with Eli before hugging Tory
"Hey guys"
"Miguel ! dude great idea about having a double date with you and Moon. It's exactly the break we needed after going so hard for the past week" Eli said leaving Miguel to awkwardly smile as he knew the true reason why they were here
"Ok so what should we do first ? Me and Tory were thinking we should start at the Go Karts and transition to Golf Later-"
"Actually" Miguel began cutting Eli off
"We should go find Moon, I kinda left her to come get you guys"
"Leaving a girl alone on a date Miguel ? no wonder we didn't work out" Tory teased leaving them to smile and chuckle as Miguel lead them to the meet up location
Continuing to walk to where they once stood Both Miguel and Moon took a big deep breathe preparing for the worst once they saw one another only getting ready for the inevitable to happen
And so it did
Almost Instantly, the Second they met up Eli, Robby, Tory and Sam's faces dropped leaving Moon and Miguel to look at one another praying this plan would work
"You gotta be kidding me…" Robby groaned as he looked at Moon
"THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE !" Eli Immediately shouted as he looked at Miguel for answers
Whisking their heads back and forth to look at the four Miguel had Immediately stepped between the group trying to break away their glares, but it was not working. Like at all
"You guys parent trapped us" Sam said making Moon and Miguel sigh
"Miguel told me about the relationship problems you all were having so we came up with an idea to get you into the same place…" Moon said fumbling with her hands as she was starting to understand why this made Miguel nervous
"Oh there's not a problem, Ok trust me" Sam said glaring at Tory who shot her own glare back not needing or wanting to say any words
"Yeah, It's simple. We hate them, They hate us. And everyone's fine with that"
"Well we shouldn't be" Miguel sighed as he looked at his friends
"Guys the Sekai Taikai is gonna be here before we know it, and we can't spend time fighting amongst ourselves if we wanna win so please….Please just give this a try, just for today. I mean were already here it's the least we could do"
Giving a second to glance at one another, Miguel and Moon had practically held their breaths as they waited for a response, a sign or something not just this silence between them all
But once they heard Sam's tongue click and saw Tory drop her shoulders, some form of relief washed upon Miguel and Moon knowing the plan worked to some degree
Starting off the "Triple Date" that was suddenly sprung. Robby had punched the Punching machine leaving everyone to watch as he got a score of 839 much to his satisfaction making Sam, Miguel and Moon smile with him
"It's all in the legs" he grinned
"Yeah well congratulations on your, very average leg muscles" Miguel joked causing the 4 of them to laugh but not Eli and Tory much to Miguel's notice
"Alright who's next" Miguel said as he pressed the button that caused the ball to drop
Without saying much Eli stepped up sizing up the machine before looking at Robby's glare. Leaving Eli to smirk before he Immediately punched the machine with fast precision
Everyone watched as the numbers went up ending with a score of 940 changing Sam and Robby's attitude as now they were the ones scowling and Eli and Tory's were smiling
"Wow ! Eli, that was amazing !" Moon beamed
"Your alignment was off, when you strike someone you wanna come at them hard, punch as if your punching through them" Eli said making Robby's eyes roll again much to Miguel's notice
"Okayyyyy" Miguel said stopping any type of fighting that was gonna happen
"You guys wanna go hit the batting cages next ? I heard there's a new ball speed ?"
"I'm down sounds fun !" Moon said as she tried to bring some life to this event. But sadly enough Her and Miguel turned to look at the other couples less enthusiastic faces
"Sure" Tory blankly said
"Sounds fun I guess" Sam added with equal amounts of joylessness in her voice
Miguel and Moon watched as the two couples started to walk away through the arcade causing them to just look at one another with a soured look wondering if this was truly going well or not. But they had both decided to find out for themselves as Miguel had suddenly approached Sam and Robby, a perked smile on his face as he wrapped his arms around them both Immediately feeling how cold they were
"Heyyyyy guys" Miguel said hearing both Sam and Robby groan but it didn't break his spirit
"So, pretty fun day were having right"
"Miguel cut it out" Robby said with a small hint of annoyance in his voice
"Look, we understand this is making you feel some type of way. Ok we get it but trust us this has nothing to do with you. Sometimes people just aren't meant to be friends" Sam said much to Robby's agreement
Letting out a sigh Miguel decided to cut the act, retreating his hands in his pockets as he looked at Sam and Robby
"Alright look I'm sorry for tricking you guys into coming here it's just…..All four of you are my closest friends, I don't want there to be any bad blood between us. Come on Robby you should know this better than anyone after what happened between Me and You"
"Yeah I do, and the difference was you were able to let go" Robby stated
"Eli can't, Ok He's 24/7 always on go. I tried to make peace and he won't give, so you know what if he wants to keep hating me fine. But I'm not gonna lose any more sleep over it"
"Exactly, Miguel you tried to put me on a triple date with Tory's who's been my nemesis since we met what did you think was gonna happen"
Not having an answer Miguel had only stayed quiet. Piercing his lips in sorrow as Sam and Robby sighed
"Look for you, we'll play along and finish this "Date" Together, But after today no more alright. Stop trying to force something that's not gonna happen"
Letting out a small sigh Miguel had nodded his head and Sam and Robby's only response was to start walking faster through the arcade soon leaving Miguel alone wondering if this plan ended up working after all
"Look Moon, you seem like a nice person and all especially since I just met you like a couple weeks ago" Tory began leaving Moon to smile
"But this plan was shit" she said dropping Moon's smile
"Look Moon, our problems with Robby and Sam is just something you can't fix" Eli said honestly
"Some people just can't get along and I'll never get along with Robby"
"Same with Sam, there's just too much history and bad blood there"
"But that can be fixed ? Miguel and Robby used to hate each other ? Now their friends"
"Well I'm not Miguel" Eli stated truthfully
"Look we appreciate you for trying but us getting along with the "Legacy Kids" isn't going to happen and the sooner you and Miguel realize that, The Sooner everyone can go on with their lives" Tory said
Leaving the conversation at that Eli and Tory had only walked faster leaving Moon behind as she pouted at her plan failing
Luckily Miguel had came to her rescue, Wrapping an arm around her bringing her close before they both sighed at the downfall of their plan
"They really hate each other don't they" Moon said
Kissing the top of her forehead Miguel nodded his head
"Yep, and I don't know how to fix it"
Giving some thought on his words Moon shook her head
"Maybe they don't wanna be fixed…..maybe we just gotta live with that"
Nodding his head, Miguel soon looked down at Moon with a smile. Rubbing her arms with his wrapped hand forming a smile to form on her mouth
"Want to go get some ice cream ?" Miguel asked and Moon had Immediately nodded her head before they started walking
"Parent trap aside. I'm glad we were able to see each other outside the Dojo and School" Sam stated coming to a stop within the arcade as she and Robby started to smile at one another
"Yeah I agree, It's like ever since our Dad's have been training us for the Sekai Taikai. We haven't been able to spend any time together" Robby said as he brought his hands up to Sam's face practically making her melt
"I'm really glad we're back together again"
"Me too"
Leaning in to Kiss the love of his life. Robby had actually stopped himself when something had caught his eyes
And Sam had caught the gesture as she moved Robby's hands from her face and turned, tracing his eyes to see what caused him to physically stop
But Immediately she understood why he shook as he found Kenny playing with one of the Basketball Machines
"He's still not talking to you ?" Sam asked leaving Robby to sigh as he shook his head
"No…..I've gotta give it another shot…and at least here he can't avoid my voicemails" Robby sighed as he saw Kenny finish his game before walking away with a angered expression conveying his probably didn't do so well
Looking at Sam, Robby grabbed her hands
"I'm gonna be right back" he said leaving Sam to nod her head before he walked away

"This the biggest Axe you got ?" Johnny asked with a raised eyebrow making the Pawn Shop owner roll his eyes
"Mau I assume you're not gonna use it on human flesh and bone ?"
"Relax. If I wanted to kill someone All I need is this" Johnny said as he raised his fist making the man roll his eyes once again
"Yeah That'll make me sleep better. Let me see what else I have" he said before walking away leaving Johnny to flip the Axe within his hand as the sound of the Store's bell rung
Turning his head, Johnny had quickly found Daniel. Coming inside the store leaving Johnny yo Immediately sigh
"The hell are you doing here ?"
"Nice to see you too. Carmen told me where you went"
Looking down at the Axe within his hand Daniel chuckled
"Uh whoa. Do I wanna know what that's for ?"
"Training. Rocky IV style. I'm gonna go chop down a tree, carry it through the snow"
"Johnny we live in California"
"Alright, no snow but you get the point"
Again Daniel chuckled
"Ok, what if instead of doing all that. You uh. Just called off the fight ?"
"No chance" Johnny Immediately said making Daniel drop his shoulders in a sigh
"Chozen crossed the line. He disrespected Miyagi-Fang. The thing WE put our bullshit aside to create. It took a while but now we're finally on the same page and now you wanna what ? throw all that away ?"
"No Johnny I don't…..It's just….."
Daniel sighed as he shook his head trying to find the right words to say but Johnny had found it for him
"Look man, When Kreese stole Cobra Kai from me, I had nothing. I had to build up Eagle-Fang from scratch. I had Miguel but then he left for Miyagi-Do and soon after Hawk did the same" Johnny admitted making Daniel diverge his eyes as he felt the stung Johnny wanted him to feel
"But then your Daughter came, Helped me build Eagle-Fang into a real dojo, helped me turn Devon and Mitch into badasses, I took us to the All Valley, helped us earn a spot into the Sekai Taikai…It's not just a name. It's what it represents. Rebuilding with Eagle-Fang. It felt….."
Johnny sighed, wiping the bottom half of his mouth with his hand before speaking again
"It felt like how things used to be. When It used to just be Me and Miguel, building a Dojo from ground up. And with Sam I finally understood what you and Robby had. That connection knowing I was personally training YOUR Kid"
Nodding his head Daniel couldn't deny he understood where Johnny was coming from
"So no LaRusso. Eagle-Fang is not just a name, It's Redemption. To me it's a sign saying that I didn't screw up. And that I know who I am. And if beating the shit out of Chozen is what it takes to finally make you see that this partnership is supposed to be 50/50. Than so be it"
Hearing Johnny's speech Daniel tried to say something but the Pawn Shop owner had came out of the back room
"This what you wanted ?" he said getting Johnny's attention as he held a giant medieval Axe within his hand making Johnny smile
"Now that's what I'm talking about" he said as he went over and grabbed the weapon, spinning it within his hand before turning to Daniel
"If Toguchi beats me, fine. But after all the work, all the trial and tribulations WE put in to finally put our differences aside. Leave our shit in the past to create Miyagi-Fang. Not just for our Dojo. But for Robby and Sam. I'm not letting that go without a fight" Johnny admitted turing back to the counter to pull out a couple of bunched up dollars from his pocket and slamming it on the counter before walking out the store
"Always the bright spot of my day" the man said as Johnny left before looking at Daniel
"He a friends of yours ?"
Letting out a subtle sigh Daniel couldn't help himself from chuckling and shaking his head
"Sadly yes"
"Well, he's short" the man said raising the money within his hand making Daniel groan before pulling out his wallet
"Dammit Johnny"
Dropping the Axe within his car Johnny had Immediately heard his phone chime. And when he looked at it, it was a unknown caller sending him one simple text
Meet me at Coyote Creek
Immediately Johnny got horrid flashbacks of the last time he was at Coyote Creek, the first time Kreese seeped his way into the kids. Showing them not to show mercy. Remembering when Miguel had kicked Hawk directly in the face after their fight was over
Never again….
Quickly typing on the KeyPad Johnny wanted answers
Who is this ?
Waiting a few seconds Johnny had got an answer back
COBRA KAI NEVER DIES !
Immediately that was all Johnny needed as had quickly thrown the phone way before pulling the lever on his car, Putting it in drive before racing off within the street ready to find this mystery caller

Digging into their ice cream together Eli, Tory and Sam were forced to watch as Moon and Miguel continued to feed each other
It was starting to get sick seeing how cute they were
Feeding Miguel another spoonful both Moon and Miguel giggled when a drop started to fall from his mouth leading to Moon cleaning him up with her thumb and that right there almost made Eli throw up
"So, Senior year huh" Miguel said looking at everyone as they just nodded their heads
"Sending in college applications kinda crazzyyyy" Miguel said dragging on the word for more emphasis
Moon had Immediately nodded her head. Showing her excitement that the topic of College was being brought up
But Tory had just uncomfortably shifted within her seat leaving Eli to purse his lips sadly
"Yeah, I really hope I hear back from FIT NYC or Pratt. Yasmine's been killing me with her non-stop stressing Oh my god !" Moon said making Miguel and Sam chuckle
"Well when you apply to the top Fashion schools in the country I can see why you'd be stressful" Miguel said leaving Moon to roll her eyes
"Look who's talking Mr Stanford" Moon teased nudge Miguel in his shoulder making him chuckle
"Fingers crossed" Miguel deemed, crossing his fingers for extra emphasis
"Man, I swear it just feels like Yesterday that we were dissecting frogs in the lab" Sam said making Miguel nod his head and chuckle as he thought back to when he first talked to Sam
God they were so young
"There's just so many good schools to choose from, It's hard to just pick one you know-"
"Yeah it must suck knowing Robby won't be able to follow" Tory immediately said catching everyone off guard
It was like a pinball had dropped as Immediately the laughing and smiling from the three stopped, replaced with a serious look while Sam had shot nothing but Daggers at Tory's smirk
Even Eli was surprised Tory went there, but seeing how her arms were folded and her smirk was completely plastered upon her face Eli knew she enjoyed this
"I mean. I'm just saying, not a lot of options for someone who spent a year on probation, You know one criminal to another" Tory began causing Sam to ball up her fist tightly
"Ok Tory that's enough…." Miguel said but the blonde continued
"So what's the plan LaRusso. You're gonna go off to college and leave Keene behind. Probably meet some highly sophisticated rich guy. Forgot all about Robby"
Feeling her nails dig into her palms Miguel could tell this was getting out of hand
"Tory seriously stop"
"Or better yet. Why don't you spare him the inevitable now and break his heart again, so that this time when he runs away you won't have to chase after him-"
CRASH
Immediately flipping the table over. Sam had spilled Miguel and Moon's ice cream all over the floor making everyone nearby gasp while the mess had spilled upon Miguel and Moon making the couple visibly pause
Satisfied with the reaction Sam gave her Tory had just pushed her chair away before getting up. Leaving Sam to just glare at her as she started to walk
Looking back and forth at the mess created. With Miguel and Moon covered in spilled Ice Cream, Sam huffing her breath in anger, and Tory walking away. Eli had got up looking at this so called "Date" with sorrow before walking away chasing after his girlfriend
Looking at one another covered in their own desert Moon and Miguel had only sighed, Leaving Moon to wipe some frost from Miguel's nose
"I don't think our plan worked…."
Continuing to play the game ahead of him, Kenny continued to shoot the aliens on the screen. Following the moving boxes
That was until Robby had came in out of nowhere putting his hands up with a smile
"Woah woah woah ! I give up I give up don't shoot don't do it !" he joked getting in front of the game with his hands up but Kenny didn't find it funny
The opposite actually
As he had let go of the gun controller before getting out his seat leaving Robby to sigh as he had followed him to another game continuing to try and break though
"Kenny….look I know how hard this has been on you. And I know it's my fault since I'm the one who made you join Cobra Kai but as soon as I figured out we were on the wrong side, I tried to get you out"
Immediately getting up from his seat Robby sighed again
"Kenny"
Kenny tried to walk away but this time Robby put an arm forth stopping him
"Hang on man please…..let me explain"
Kenny had simply let out a quiet sigh before folding his arms letting Robby talk
"There's still time to let all that old shit go and Join Miyagi-Fang. Mr LaRusso and My Dad would love to have you. They'll see exactly what I saw in you. You can help us win the Sekai Taikai and I truly believe with the right mentor-"
"He doesn't need your mentors" a voice said making Robby turn his head
And when he did his heart had Immediately dropped when he saw Shawn approach him
"Tory !" Eli yelled seeing as she still continued to walk towards the exit
"TORY !" Eli yelled louder, still not stop making Eli groan as he picked up his pace to stand in front of her forcing her to stop
"Hey ! you see me now" he said making Tory groan
She tried to walk away but Eli had just grabbed her arm forcing her to look at him
"The hell was that back there ? Huh ! look I get you don't like her but that was low, Even for us"
"Well I'm just being realistic" Tory bit louder and harder than Eli thought she would Immediately making his eyes go wide as it had clicked to him like a light bulb
Seeing how visibly angry she was when the topic of College came up. Eli felt like an idiot as he couldn't believe he didn't see the signs sooner
"Tory was that….Do…Do you think that's what's gonna happen to us ?" Eli said making Tory diverge her as as that was the only answer he needed
"You do….."
"Well can you blame me !" Tory said
"Demetri's been going on and on about MIT since the year started" Tory began making Eli's heart drop
MIT….yeah no not the time for that can of worms. Not yet
"Tory I'm not gonna leave you"
"Oh really" Tory rolled her eyes
"So if you had the chance to go to MIT you wouldn't take it ?" she said and Eli didn't say anything making Tory scoff and nod her head
"Yeah that's what I thought. Because everyone in my life just leaves me. But that's ok because I'm used to it" Tory said before walking past Eli making him sigh before chasing after her
"Tory wait…"
"Sha-Shawn…..You're out ?...Look, I…I don't know what you heard, but-"
"I heard enough" Shawn said shutting Robby up
"About how you brought my little brother into your Karate cult and then left him there"
Letting out a sigh Robby nodded his head owning to his mistakes
"I did….I'm not proud of what I did but I did do it. And I'm sorry. I made some mistakes but I'm trying to make up for them-"
"You had your shot" Shawn said stepping up to Robby
"But now you're gonna leave him be, or you and me are gonna have a problem. Got it ?"
Deciding to say nothing Robby watched as Shawn had left brining Kenny with him leaving Robby to stand there alone with nothing but regret for the person he used to be
"Who the hell was that ?" Robby heard a voice say before turning around to find Eli, Tory and Sam behind him
Immediately sighing Robby rubbed the back of his head
"Shawn….Kenny's older brother"
"The guy that beat you up in Juvie ?" Sam said and Robby had nodded his head
"He told me to leave Kenny along and if I didn't there would be consequences"
"You're not gonna listen to him are you ?" Eli said
"Why the hell do you even care ?"
Eli snorted
"Really I don't but dealing with that douchebag sounds a whole lot more fun than watching Miguel and Moon feed ice cream to each other" Eli said making Robby for once honestly chuckle at something Eli said
"Plus what happened to Kenny wasn't his or your fault" Tory added
"It was Silver's, Cobra Kai. It got to his head just like it got to all of us. But you're the one who pulled him out. It's only right you bring him back"
Walking up to Robby, Sam took his hands forcing him to look at her
"Honey, we're here for you. Ok. Whatever decision you decide to make we'll support"
Seeing how Sam used the words We're and We'll Robby had only looked at Eli who gave him a head nod proving he was in fact down to do this
Nodding his head own head back Robby had just smiled at Sam
"Ok I think they're gonna head to the batting cages" Robby said as the four of them started walking
"You know Miguel's gonna hate that we're doing this"
"That's what makes it fun" Eli smirked

Walking to the Miyagi-Do Dojo Daniel found Chozen Karate chopping a long Wooden slab over and over again
"Looks painful" Daniel grinned
"Strengthen body, strengthen resolve !" Chozen said as he chopped at the wood again
"Well I'd never doubt either. I just wish you'd maybe resolve this thing with Johnny another way"
"Don't worry Daniel-San. I will not loose"
"I'm not worried you'd lose" Daniel chuckled
"Chozen, I'm just worried that this is gonna drive a wedge in our partnership. And the kids are gonna be worse off for it. You know it took a lot for Johnny and Me to finally see eye to eye"
"Hmm, All the kids. Or Samantha-San and Robby-San" Chozen said making Daniel close his mouth and sigh
"Low blow Chozen. Low Blow"
Chozen had only responded with a chop to the wood again continuing to make Daniel think
"I don't get why you've been so dug in lately ? Have you been drinking again ?
Daniel's question made Chozen pause before soon shaking his head
"No more drink. Dulls senses. Cost me fight against Silver !"
Chopping the wood again Daniel spoke
"Is that what this is about ? Because you showed mercy and that monster took advantage that's nothing to be ashamed of"
"Not ashamed, Showing mercy is not a weakness"
"I agree, but still, It left you with 80 stitches in your back Chozen…"
Hearing the realization Chozen had only stood up leaving Daniel to lick his lips
"Maybe you cu=ould use a break, I mean take a trip back to Okinawa for like a week"
"HI-YAH !"
Slamming his hand atop the wood Chozen shook his head
"Nothing….for me in Okinawa…."
"What do you mean ? I mean, you got your dojo ? Kumiko ?"
Chozen had only looked up at Daniel before shaking his head
"No, No Kumiko" he said leaving Daniel confused
"That night….I called Kumiko….Drunk, Leave message….I pour my heart out…."
Chozen shook his head
"No call back"
"Oh Chozen, I'm sorry. There must be some explanation for that ?"
Chozen chuckled
"Explanation is clear. She does not feel same"
"Well I can tell you that fighting Johnny is not gonna make it any better" Daniel said but Chozen shrugged his shoulders
"No. But it will ensure legacy of Miyagi-Do as that is all I have left" Chozen said before striking again with a grunt snapping the wooden plank in half
Looking Chozen up and Down Daniel nodded his head now understanding the headspace Chozen was in. But more so he released he was looking at a mirror of his former self

Arriving at Coyote Creek Johnny wasted no time stomping through the forest with his axe within his hand
Continuing his search for whoever texted him Johnny couldn't escape the voices of Kreese, his old lessons of pain not existing within the Dojo, How their enemies deserved no mercy. All that old shit that he rotted many brains with for generations
Flipping his axe within his hand Johnny heard the voice he originally thought to be in his head actually be said out loud as he followed them Mummering a "What the hell ?" before find a group of kids surrounded by Stingray learning "The way of the fist"
"Strike first Strike Hard NO MERCY SIR !"
"Stingray ? what ? the hell is this ?"
Pressing the boombox that stopped Kreese's voice Stingray kept his hands on the collar of his Gi the same way Kreese did as he looked at Johnny
'Class, we have a visitor" Stingray said before Immediately bursting into laughter as he clapped his hands
"I've always wanted to say that !"
"What the hell's going on man ?"
"What's going on here Sensei, is that Colin and Sasha are doing a heck of a job"
"I-"
"Michelle. Not now" Stingray said cutting the girl off as he continued to walk through the row of students
"Taylor, tie your shoes"
"Braden, your mom never called"
Continuing to walk to Johnny Stingray rubbed his hands and smiled
"A little Bertie. You know Bertie, Bert. Bert told me that you and Mr LaRusso were having some big tiff over the Dojo rebrand. So I thought I'd show you the solution"
"What you running a daycare center" Johnny growled flipping the axe within his hand as he contemplated on using it
"No, The solution is you" Stingray admitted
"Taking Back Cobra Kai !"
Pointing to the makeshift Cobra Kai Logo with the Three Sayings "Strike First" "Strike Hard" "No Mercy" posted on a series of trees Johnny had only raised an eyebrow at what Stingray was getting at here

Immediately swinging his bat when the Ball had come flying towards him Kenny sighed at just how easy this was. And Shawn noticed it as well
Probably because of his Karate training
"All right, man. Maybe you're getting a little too old for this place" Shawn said making Kenny look him up and down
"Tell you what, Next weekend. We'll hit the strip club" Shawn said making Kenny form a smile for the first time today
"You're crazy"
"Well there he is" Shawn teased
"You guys got room for one more ?" Robby said getting Both Shawn and Robby's attention as he walked into the batting cages
Eli had quickly followed by behind Robby and Shawn only laughed as he and Kenny dropped their bat's
"Who's this Keene, your muscle ?"
Robby and Eli had avoided the question entirely as Robby had simply walked up to Kenny
"I heard what you said. I just need a minute….please" Robby begged
"Back off, Keene" Shawn said but before he could get any closer Eli stepped in front of him blocking his path
"Listen, I don't know who you are-"
"Good, you don't want to know" Eli challenged making Shawn snort
"Robby wanted a minute he gets a minute"
"What are you his bitch ? you don't get the fuck out of my way right now I'm stick my foot up your ass"
"What size shoe do you wear ?" Eli smirked and Robby had Immediately pulled Eli back stopping anything for escalating but Eli was already on Shawn's radar
"Shawn, You know where this is gonna end. If Kenny keeps his anger boiled it's only gonna end in one place. Do you really want him to end up where we were"
"Not. Your. Concern" Shawn growled walking up to Robby
"You understand ?"
Looking back between Kenny and Shawn. Robby looked at Eli who nodded his head. Basically telling him there's only one way to truly get the message clear
"You know what I'm not sure I do" Robby said making Shawn nod his head with a snort before suddenly he shoved Robby making Kenny Jump while Eli clenched his fist
Accepting the gesture Robby walked up to Shawn as he kept his cool
"Last time we fought I struck first….but that guy, he was never me. The real me. I don't want to fight. But that guy over there" Robby said gesturing to Eli
"He does"
"Shawn" Kenny said getting his Older Brother's attention
"Come on man let's just go…"
Glancing at Robby and Eli Shawn only smirked before shaking his head
"Nah. This'll only take a minute" Shawn said before Immediately swinging at Robby leaving him to duck and strike Shawn's gut switching positions
Immediately dodging out of the way from Kenny's Superman Punch. Robby went back to blocking all of Shawn's heavy hitting strikes. Not seeing the grab Shawn gave him before flinging Robby making him hit the Cages's safety net
Stomping over to Robby Shawn had Immediately tried to stomp on him but Eli Immediately stopped the action from happening. Kicking Shawn in the chest knocking him back before he got into his fighting positions
"Don't hurt them" Robby Immediately said making Eli groan
"Really taking the fun out of this Keene"
Quickly and easily Dodging all of Shawn's strikes. Eli blocked Kenny's kick before ducking under Shawn's swing
"You heard Robby, we don't want to fight !" Eli said as he caught Kenny's kicking making the young teen look up at him
"I told you I know what it's like to be affected by Cobra Kai, We can help you" Eli told Kenny but before the conversation could've even continued Shawn had rammed into Eli flinging him across the cage and into the net landing right next to Robby
Attempting to walk over to the two again an unknown person had entered the Batting Cages Immediately ducking down and sweeping Shawn's feet dropping him to the ground
Looking up in heavy confusion Robby and Eli saw Miguel who just shook his head at them
"You guys are the worst triple daters ever" he said before catching the ball from the machine and mindlessly throwing it away
Immediately Miguel started blocking all of Kenny's attacks. Grabbing his leg so that he could push Kenny away to the ground. But when Kenny got there he had Immediately seen his fallen bat
Kenny attempted to grab the weapon but a foot had Immediately stopped his motion. Causing him to look up and Find Tory as the main culprit with Sam standing right next to her
"Really ?" she said before kicking the tool away leaving Kenny to get up with a growl
"Out of my way Nichols. I don't wanna hit a girl"
"Aww that's sweet, but I wouldn't worry about that" Sam said
Rolling his eyes Kenny tried to go back to his Brother but Sam had quickly grabbed his arm separating the two as he was now put in their Cage
"Kenny, Everyone has a place in Miyagi-Fang. Ok, Many people have been redeemed through our family and you can be one of them. The choices you made in the past don't matter anymore" Sam said making Tory look at her before her attention was back on Kenny
"Yeah tell that to your bitch ass Brother LaRusso"
"Anthony's apologized and made up for his mistakes too many times to count. You can't use his mistakes as an excuse anymore" Sam said making Kenny scowl as he tried to go through the two girls only leaving him to get pushed back
Robby had dodged Shawn's punch and Eli and Miguel both ducked low leading Shawn to punch the net getting his fist stuck forcing him to look at Kenny's fight with Sam and Tory
The sight Immediately made him grunt and try to break free from the netting but it only caused him to get more tangled as he watched Kenny try to swing at Tory and then Sam. Leaving them to quickly dodge his strikes before grabbing his arm flinging him into the net
Huffing his breath angrily Kenny got up ready to fight this time but Shawn had Immediately stopped him getting his attention
"Fights over little bro" he said making Kenny's eyes go wide
"What ! no Shawn I'm not going anywhere !"
"Yes, you are. Look Security's coming" he said pointing at the guard who was approaching the cages
"We're done"
Pulling Kenny out of the cage Shawn and Kenny made their leave, leaving the 5 of them alone as Miguel just blew some heavy air
"Well that could've gone better…."
Robby nodded his head in agreement before looking at Eli
"Thanks for having my back out there….not many guys would step to Shawn like that"
Eli had just flashed a small smile
"Well you had mine first, Figured it's about time I repaid the favor"
"You picked up on Miyagi-Do fast" Sam told Tory making her chuckle
"Well I fought you enough times. I better have picked up something" Tory responded now making everyone laugh
Seeing how well the four of them were getting along Miguel had only smiled knowing this was exactly what he wanted
"MIGUEL DIAZ !" everyone heard Moon's voice say making Miguel's eyes go wide
"Oh shit…I forgot to tell Moon I was here…."
Immediately running out the cage Miguel left Robby, Sam, Tory and Eli laughing as this was truthfully the most fun they had all day

"Ok where the hell did all these kids come from ?" Johnny asked seeing the amount of Child "Students" Stingray was teaching
"Oh, yeah…well All I had to do was wallpaper West Valley Elementary" Stingray said as he brought up a Karate flyer he made with him and 90's photo of Johnny
"Oh the photo. Yeah, Sorry. I pulled that from your Facebook page. Hope you don't mind. You aged beautifully man"
"I nearly got myself killed taking down Cobra Kai !" Johnny yelled making Stingray jump
"Why the hell would I bring it back ?!"
Giving Johnny's question some thought Stingray squinted his eyes
"Because it's awesome ?" he admitted making Johnny just look at him
"Or at least it was when YOU were in charge. You totally changed my life ! and not just mine. Miguel's and Tory's and Sam's and Hawk's ! DUDE EVERYONE YOU TAUGHT ! YOU MADE 10 TIMES BETTER !" Stingray said making Johnny sigh
"Come on, man. I thought you and I could build up the next gen, you know ? I know they don't look like much but it's a good crop. Good Prospects"
"Alright look" Johnny said shutting Stingray up
"Do what you want. Call it what you want. But I'm out" Johnny said shoving the flyer to Stingray before walking away
"I got a fight to train for"
Looking down at the piece of paper Stingray simply shook his head
"Hey, uh….when did Johnny Lawrence become such a pussy" Stingray said making Johnny stop as he crumbled the piece of paper up
All the kids had gasped. Some even going "Sensei !"
"Sorry, swear jar, I know" Stingray said as Johnny started to approach him
"Dude I owe these kids like 40, bucks-"
"Alright what the hell did you just call me ?"
"What ? oh ! hey no ! no punching…I didn't mean it…I…..well I kinda did mean it" Stingray said standing his ground
"Because it takes a pussy to walk away. But it takes a man to stay ! and I know that Cobra Kai, it's stock is like at an all-time low right now. But if you're back at the helm, if you're in the throne chair, The students are gonna come, man…..I mean…..You're like, the whole reason I joined the dojo in the first place. And I know what you thought of me back then. Because it's what most people think of me when they meet me"
"I still think of you that way" Johnny said but Stingray continued
"But….you didn't kick me out. You let me stay. And you taught me so much, man. And not just me either no, no You-You turned Hawk into a Badass hell a CHAMPION !, You turned Miguel into like this master of Karate, You made Sam. Princess of the Valley freaking Wonder Woman of Karate ! hell that Devon girl, what she had 6 WEEKS OF TRAINING WITH YOU ! AND SHE WENT TO THE SEMI FINALS !"
Dropping his eyes as Stingray's words actually started to get to Johnny Stingray sighed
"For me….It got to the point where I…..I started to feel like myself…I could look in the mirror. I could put my chest out. I-I…I respected myself…..Look I get that it sounds corny right"
"No…..ok maybe just a little"
"Ok but that's what you do better than any other Sensei around. We still have a spot for Cobra Kai at the Sekai Taikai. And with all Due respect to Mr LaRusso. And his smoking hot wife good god !"
"Hey ! that's my son's future mother in law your talking about"
"Sorry….wait what ?"
Stingray only shook his head
"But they can't bring anything to the table that you don't already know. YOU'RE THE SENSEI ! NOT THE STUDENT. He's a car lot guy. YOU'RE JOHNNY LAWRENCE ! AND TO WIN THIS TORUNAMENT, IT'S GONNA TAKE A BADASS DOJO AND A BADASS SENSEI ! and when you win, you won't have to share it with anyone else. And Look I get why you teamed up with Mr LaRusso, means to and end. Children dating yada yada yada. But that's not your legacy. That's theirs. Your's is Cobra Kai" Stingray said only making Johnny think about what he truly wanted his legacy to be

Striking his punching bag with quick strikes and hidden anger Shawn had came to the backyard to find his little Brother training
"Surprised you got any gas left in the tank after that fight with the Karate crew. I'm tired as shit"
Stopping his punches Kenny held a growl on his face as he shook his head
"I got plenty more where that came from" Kenny said striking the bag a couple more times making Shawn tilt his head and smirk
"Yeah I bet, But I didn't realize you had that kind of scrap in you though. You got good. But you still couldn't get past those girls"
Kenny shook his head
"Whatever, those guys are all assholes" Kenny said punching the bag again
"Didn't seem like it. They had open shots but wouldn't take 'em. Same with Robby and his boys. So what does that tell you"
"That they're pussies too" Kenny growled making Shawn laugh
"Okay we both know that's not true. And since when do you talk like that ?"
"Set I learned what the world was really like"
"Oh yeah ? and who taught you that ? ole ponytailed dude they got arrested" Shawn said making Kenny visibly go unformattable
"He teach you all that aggro bullshit I saw today too ?"
'It's not bullshit Shawn ! it's the way of the fist. Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy !"
Finishing his sentence with a couple of punches to his bag Shawk didn't hesitate to laugh
"That's gotta….the dumbest shit I've ever heard ?" he said making Kenny confused
"Maybe whatever Karate those guys do would be good for you"
"Nah man I don't need them. I followed Robby once and look where it got me. I gotta listen to my own instincts"
"And where's that gotten you lately !" Shawn said cutting in front of Kenny making him stop punching
"I saw that look in your eyes K. I know that look, because it's the same one that landed me in juvie. You keep going down this road, that's where you'll end up too" Shawn honestly said making Kenny swallow the lump in his throat
"Or, you can learn from my mistakes…..and maybe give Keene another shot too"
Immediately Kenny shook his head but Shawn had put a hand on Kenny's shoulder
"You're becoming a man now, ok ? and it's time for you to decide the kind of man that YOU wanna be…..the kind of man you want Dad to come home to after his tour"
Shaking his head Kenny let out a sigh as he just looked around trying to find the answers to his life
"I….I don't know who I wanna be man I…..I don't even know who I am anymore ?"
"Hey ? it's ok man" Shawn said as he immediately pulled his little brother into a hugh holding him tight
"I got you….ok I got you, we gonna figure this out together"

Letting out a groan Daniel had returned home finding Amanda cooking Dinner
"Hey, how'd the talk go with Chozen and Johnny"
"Perfect, they both agreed to let this go so we can get back to training" Daniel said sarcastically as he grabbed a glass of wine
"Ok so that bad huh" Amanda said leaving Daniel to sigh as he took a seat and shook his head
"I think you're right…maybe we should just quit while we're ahead, I mean we only joined the Sekai Taikai to stop Silver. With all our goals completed maybe we should-"
Before Daniel could even continue the sound of the front door closing and Sam and Robby's laughter was heard getting Amanda and Daniel's attention as they had soon seen the couple walking in the house
"Hey you two !" Amanda beamed catching their grins and smiles
"How was the double date"
Looking at one another Sam and Robby and laughed more
"It was actually a triple date" Sam said confusing the adults
"Miguel and Moon parent trapped us and tricked us on a date with Eli and Tory" Robby explained making Daniel and Amanda's eyes go wide but Sam and Robby were quick to reassure
"No no no….it was actually kinda fun" Sam said leaving Robby to agree with a head nod
"Yeah….we might've found a middle ground to meet upon. Somewhere where we don't have to like each other…."
"But we don't have to hate each other also" Sam said leaving Anthony and Daniel truly surprised that they….figured out their differences
"It's like you always say Mr LaRusso, Those that we call our enemies-"
"Are just those that need help being put on the right path" Daniel finished for Robby with a smile leaving the two teens to grin
"Yeah so the Sekai Taikai better watch out because we have not one but TWO power couples ready to kick the competition" Sam said leaving Daniel and Amanda to look at one another with a smile before giving Daniel an idea
"You two come with me" Daniel omuniosuly said as he got out of his seat and headed to the backyard
"Where are we going ?" Robby asked but Daniel just looked back at them with a smirk
"I'm going to give you your final lesson in Miyagi-Do"

Flicking the lights to the personal dojo within their home Daniel had walked the couple through the place. Leaving them to see all the things they were familiar with in this place
They knew how sacred this Dojo was, but what they also knew was how important Mr Miyagi's set up was. Never did they think to touch it or anything around it
Until now
Watching Daniel grab at the box right in the center of the Set up. Daniel had opened the lid before grabbing out a scroll
Sam recognized it. It was the same scroll Anthony came across when she caught him in here. She didn't know what it meant or how important it was but seeing how delinquent her father held the piece of paper. Sam knew it was important
Looking at Sam and Robby, Daniel held nothing but pride for them as he continued to smile down at them
"You two have been with me at the start of it all" Daniel began
"When no one believed in Miyagi-Do you two stood there with me, building what we have now from the ground up. Robby, you were my first student, you changed everything and I am forever grateful that you choose me to be your Sensei" Daniel said making Robby smile as he bowed at him
"Samantha, even though you started later than Robby. You are still gifted in the ways of Miyagi-Do. You have always been there when I needed you and you most and you continue to make me proud every single day. Not a second goes by where I regret bringing you into this world with me" Daniel said making Sam smile as she she bowed to her father
"I have taught you everything I know, and at this point you both have mastered everything Miyagi-Do has to offer" Daniel stated making Sam and Robby turn to each other with smiles on their faces
"But even Masters have something to learn, so within this scroll. I present to you. Your final Miyagi-Do lesson" Daniel said as he showed the two the piece of paper
"An ancient Miyagi-Do technique that few know and even fewer can truly perform"
Sam and Robby's eyes truly went wide as they started to understand the importance of what was contained within that scroll
"But before I can show you what lies I need to tell you. You must use this in a dire situation. Never to willingly use whenever, only extreme circumstances. Life or Death even"
Hearing just how important this sounded Sam and Robby looked at one another again, reading each other's features to see how bad they really wanted it
But when Sam had just taken Robby's hand giving him a reassuring smile. The two looked at Daniel confidently
"We Promise" they said in unison and Daniel knew he had no reason not to believe them
So with that Daniel opened the scroll and the lesson had begun

Walking to the Dojo Johnny had raised an eyebrow once he saw the gates were locked and everyone was bunched outside the lot
"What's going on ?" he asked gaining the students attention
"We don't know ? when we all got here the gate was closed and the logo was covered" Miguel said making Johnny raise an eyebrow especially after looking at the covered Logo
"Oh ! there you all are" Daniel said. A smile on his face and a pep in his step as he made his way though everyone to the front of the group
Following Daniel to the front along with Chozen Johnny had held a confused face
"LaRusso the hell's going on ?" Johnny said confused on why no one was let inside and more so why the hell Daniel was smiling so much
"Johnny-San you were right" Chozen admitted shocking everyone more so Johnny the most
"My…..History with my honor and….Miyagi-San. Blinded my judgment, clouded my vision. More importantly my fight with Silver made my loose my way…..I took anger out on you, and that wasn't fair. Wasn't fair because you are great Master. And even greater Sensei"
Looking at the students and more importantly the lives he's changed. Everyone smiled up at him proving Chozen's point
"Johnny you were right" Daniel had also admitted
"Ever since we started this partnership I haven't always made it 50/50. I've let my hatred for Cobra Kai cloud my judgment for your style. And it wasn't until I saw Sam fighting for you that I learned that acceptance" Daniel said making Johnny nod his head
"Eagle-Fang isn't just another branch of Cobra Kai. It's your legacy. Your Original creation. And I want you to share that creation with the world. I want us to both go into the Sekai Taikai together. Both having clear visions of what we want for the future of this Dojo. So I figured why not start on a clear cut Rebrand"
Walking over to the covered logo Daniel had smiled as he pulled off the sheet revealing the new sign to everyone making their eyes go wide
"WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY MIYAGI-FANG KARATE !" Daniel said revealing the new sign of the dojo to say Miyagi-Fang Dojo instead of Miyagi-Do Dojo and instead of the logo being a Bonsai Tree. It was a Bonsai Tree with a Eagle screeching on top
Everyone had Immediately clapped their hands and cheered as it was unanimously agreed that this logo was the perfect mix of Badass and Balanced and 1000 times better than the design Eli and Demetri made
Walking over to Johnny Daniel looked at the log himself
"So what do you think ? ready to win this tournament partner ?"
Bringing forth his hand, Johnny had only looked at Daniel's hand before looking at Daniel himself
And nothing stopped him from smiling as he took his hand
"Badass LaRusso" he said making Daniel laugh as the two shook hands ready to take on the Tournament together

"We've been through a lot to get to this point. And we're finally on the same page"
Working together Sam continued to teach Tory her Miyagi-Do Kata while Eli taught Robby how to effectively strike faster and harder within his jabs and kicks
"We've put aside old rivalries. And wiped the slate clean"
Finding a pause within their training the four had noticed Kenny walking in the Dojo. he Immediately found Tory, Robby, Sam and Eli who just waved and smiled to him making him smile as well as he already felt welcomed within the Dojo
"Now we are all Miyagi-Fang"
Turning his head to see Anthony training with Miguel and Demetri the two had locked eyes but Anthony was the first to strike. Walking up to him and putting a hand out with a warm smile making Kenny chuckle as he accepted the gesture before soon enough the two hugged making peace with one another
"The Strongest we've ever been"
"And most badass !"
"One purpose"
"One team"
"One Dojo"
"With a name steeped in tradition and honor"
"AND A BADASS EAGLE TO STRIKE FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF OUR ENEMIES !"
Lining up within the newly rebranded Miyagi-Fang Dojo. The All white Gi's had a new logo to them. One that shared the same as the new logo out front on their dojo
"GET YOUR ASSES READY !" Johnny yelled looking at all the students before them
"WE MAY HAVE SETTLED THINGS IN THE VALLEY ! BUT NOW MIYAGI-FANG IS READY FOR WHATEVER THE WORLD THROWS AT US !"
Taking a final bow Daniel, Johnny and Chozen looked at their army of students ready to take on whatever challenge they have to face
Together

Walking through the forest for what felt like hours Kreese had finally found a group of students practicing their strikes together before turning around to see Kreese with a cigar in his hand
"Tell Kim Da-Eun….that Cobra Kai is back" Kreese smirked
