Looking over the blade in his hand, Kreese flipped the shining Blade every which way sorely as he held the weapon in his hand

Feeling the cold steel tip of the blade made him shiver as all he could think about was…..

Too soon….

"Is it time ?" he asked

Within the room with him was Sensi Kim, she along with him and everyone else on the Island wore White Gi's in honor of Kwon but still

It didn't help bring him back

"Soon" she confirmed to the older man making him take a deep breathe

Outside the hut everyone lined up in a row watching as 6 students carried Kwon's Wooden Casket to a stack of logs

His Cobra Kai Gi and Captains headband sat atop the Casket as well only adding more pain upon everyone else seeing the harsh reality come to life

"What about his family ?" Kreese asked, seething the blade within it's cover

His question obviously paining Sensei Kim, as she closed her eyes fighting the cold shutter that washed down her body

"He did not have one…." her voice cracked as the Students laid down his casket on the logs

"We have been his family since he was a boy"

Looking at the Casket, Yoon and his fellow teammates that went to the Sekai Taikai with him gave their Captain and friend one last look before walking away in sorrow and pain. Yoon even Knocked on the Casket one last time before taking a deep breathe and walking away

Falling back in line of their rows Yoon saw their "Visitors" they had at the Dojang for his Funeral, His eyes scrunching sadly as he approached Zara's defeated face

Her eyes were bloodshot red due to her constant crying, and the sleeves of her white Gi were crumbled and wrinkled due to her using it as her personal rag to wipe her tears. He'd also never seen her without some sort of Makeup on. Now her hair fell flat and wild, unkempt like she hasn't carried about her appearance since the Brawl. What a drastic change from the couple of days he'd seen her

Yoon didn't know much about Zara, Besides the obvious fact that she was one of the best fighters he'd ever seen. And During the brawl it was an honor to fight by her side

And more Importantly by the fact that she dragged herself, and her team here. He knew she loved Kwon more than anyone could possibly imagine

And by what Kwon told him, and how fast he forced him and the team to protect her during the Brawl, Yoon knew

Kwon loved her

And Kwon never loved anyone

She wasn't the only Iron Dragon there as the Rest of the Team was present as well. Axel and the other members Yoon and the Cobra Kai's fought alongside with against the Miyagi-Fangs. All dressed in White Gi's as well to honor Kwon, all having sorrowed looks on their faces as they had to watch his death like everyone else

Axel himself felt discomfort being here, He technically was the one that kicked him leading to his death but the ever fact that he wasn't being blamed or beat up proved to him that everyone didn't think it was his fault

Which was a relief on it's own

"This is my fault" Kreese said with nothing but hurt and pain in his voice

Flashes of the Brawl went through his head as he remembered seeing Kwon and Hawk go at each other over and over. The two most Assertive and Aggressive fighters he's ever trained. It was no wonder their fight ended up with one of them dying

"I caused this…"

Kreese remembered the life taken out of his eyes when Daniel flipped him over revealing the knife plunged in his chest. The blood that leaked and the gasps that were heard

Even though Kreese took complete blame for the situation, Sensei Kim still shook her head.

"We all did…..and Grandfather…..Sooner or later, we will face his consequences"

Approaching the rows of people among Kwon's funeral, everyone watched Master Kim approach them, revealing himself from across the pond of the Dojang

Looking directly across from them Kreese and Kim held their breaths afraid of his wraith but that didn't stop their "Guest" from making his presence Known

"I'm Sorry for your loss John" Silver whispered into Kreese's ear, His arms folded in front of him out of respect

"It must be hard. Every Student you gain in the end. Ends up…..leaving you"

A hint of a smirk was shown on Silver's face and even though he clenched his fist tightly at his old friend's words. Kreese kept his Anger in check

"You have no business being here Terry" Kreese whispered back keeping his eyes forward

"On the contrary I'm here out of respect old, friend. You weren't the only one affected by Mr Jae-Sung's Loss"

Both the old men turned their heads to look at Zara's crying forms. The sight of a loved one crying over death was something Kreese knew all to well

"But don't worry. I know how to read a room" Silver said as he looked behind Kreese seeing the Eunjangdo at his belt

"I'm just here for moral Support" Silver whispered before patting Kreese on his back, a gesture he didn't take kindly too but one he accepted

But through the glimpse of affection lied his real goal as Silver had dropped his hand down to grab the Eunjangdo from Kreese's belt so that he could pocket it in his pants

Approaching everyone Master Kim had scanned the area of everyone present for Kwon's Funeral, Seeing the known faces and unknown faces alike he didn't think much of it as he had soon stomped his staff making one of the Students nod their head before breaking out of formation to approach him

Approaching the Grandmaster, The Student had grabbed a lit torch and brought it over to Kwon's Casket leaving everyone to watch in complete sadness as he lit the Casket on fire

Seeing the Wooden death box burn had only amplified the pained feeling within everyone watching. Zara herself had bursted into full blown tears and sobs leaving Axel to hug her tightly holding her close to try and sooth her pain

Seeing the repercussions of their actions only left Sensei Kim and Kreese with this feeling in their heart that wouldn't go away. Leaving them to just bow in grief and regret at the burning casket and the fall of their Student

Grandmaster Kim had done the Same, But when he rose up he glared at the two Sensei's in Kim and Kreese. His emotions Immediately leaving the two unsettled not knowing how he was feeling towards them

But even still one thing was very clear

No one here was happy

ONE MONTH LATER

"It'll be tight to graduate" Counselor Blatt confirmed

Sitting in the Counselor's office room with bruises and cuts on his face was already bad enough

But to have Your Mom, Dad, Girlfriend's Dad, Girlfriend/Soon to be Wife, Mentor/Father Figure and Second Mother in the room with you….shit welcome to the soon to be Larusso-Lawrence-Diaz family

With his finger up to his mouth Robby continued to listen to the School Counselor lay on the bad news as he continued to bounce his knee on the ground

"We can talk about next year but….College might not be in the cards"

Sam had Immediately looked at Robby trying to find some life in his face but all she saw was nothing but lost which killed her

"I'm sorry, when I enrolled Robby into School you specifically told me that he would be able to catch up with the time that he missed ?" Amanda stated with a confusing face that was about to turn into anger if this didn't start making sense

"Yeah well that was until Robby decided to miss time off for the Tournament" Counselor Blatt confirmed making everyone sigh, Daniel the most as he just shook his head

"Robby's missed a handful of classes, some detrimental to his road for graduation"

Continuing to have his finger to his mouth Robby took a deep and quiet breathe as he thought on his actions

"What if he adds an extra course ? If he can catch up on the material, can he close the credit gap ?" Carmen suggested and Johnny eagerly nodded his head in agreement

"Maybe….but the workload-"

"That wouldn't be a problem I can help him complete any missing assignments he needs to graduate" Sam quickly said making the Women sigh

"Uh if I may" a new voice said and Robby had only rolled his eyes

Oh yeah, His Mom's new boyfriend was here as well

"There's always a way to fast track these things" he stated, lacing his fingers with Shanon's

"Especially for a talented Kids like Robby"

Yeah definitely didn't need this

"We'll do whatever it takes to support him" Shannon said as Robby had finally moved his finger off his mouth

With a warm smile and a head nod Counselor Blatt understood all their concern

"I appreciate that. But as I tell a lot of our football players, Robby's unlikely to go professional in his chosen sport. So we can support him by speaking our truth on that without shame"

Immediately everyone's face within the room had shifted as even Johnny had to but down on his knuckles to contain himself leaving Blatt to continue

"You know, I once had a dream of building my life around field hockey-"

"Field Hockey ?" Johnny repeated in a growled tone catching the woman off guard

"Yeah…."

"Robby was "This" Close to becoming a world champion in Karate, Alright he was "This" Close" Sam growled

"Yeah well I was really good at field Hockey Ms LaRusso" Counselor Blatt responded and Immediately Robby and Carmen held back their partners from lunging across the table

"Ok unless you want to lose this School's biggest Funder and go back to making minimum wage I suggest you give us some answers that gets my son across that Stage in June" Amanda said making the women sigh

"Ok look" the women stated as she grabbed three pamphlets

"Robby might consider riding this counter movement against the traditional college experience" Counselor Blatt said leaving everyone to listen up

Handing the teen the pamphlets Robby had looked at options she was giving him, his face showing he wasn't the most excited about it

"Look at trade school and other alternative paths, try and keep and open mind about what life might be like without Karate"

All the adults saw the disprovement on his face as he continued to look through the pamphlets, and Robby soon had enough as he just placed the pieces of paper down on the woman's desk before getting up so that he could walk away and out of the Counselor's office

Immediately sighing at his reaction. Dropped faces were common among the adults but still Sam had gotten up and followed him out the room leaving Daniel to shake his head as he had no words

"Robby !" Sam yelled as he continued to walk down the hall

"Robby !"

With no response Sam had only sped up even jogged so that she could get in front of him stopping his movement

"Hey, hey just breathe ok talk to me" she cooed taking his face in her hands so that she can force him to look at her worried eyes

"I just wanna know how your feeling up there"

"I'm feeling like your about to get married to someone who's gonna be stuck in high school and has no future" Robby said making Sam sigh

"Robby that's not true"

"Damn right it's not" a voice said making the couple turn their heads to see Amanda and Daniel approach them

"Robby I swear to you were gonna do everything in our power to make sure you graduate" Amanda said much to Daniel's agreement

"Yeah, plus who needs trade school or Community College huh" Daniel said trying to lighten the mood

"Remember I didn't go to College and I turned out ok. Plus Blatt doesn't know that you just so happen to my Car Selling Protégé" Daniel grinned as he tapped Robby on his shoulder once more trying to crack a smile

"Look we'll skip the selling classes, throw you into the water, have you selling cars off the lot in no time. Who knows maybe you'll be better than me"

It all sounded great….quite frankly it was great

To have a family, a Family like this that he's wanted for so long looking out for him

Most people in his situation would be screwed but he was just so lucky to have a mentor that cared so much about him he was offering a multi million dollar job

And as great as it sounds…..why did he feel like he didn't deserve it ? like it was just being handed to him ?

Not saying nothing to his Family, Robby had simply turned around and continued to walk away dropping all their faces before soon enough Daniel, Amanda and Sam looked at each other in nothing but worry for Robby

With a ring of a bell Louie and Anoush continued to look at Daniel chatting with another buyer and while that is usually good, it scared them how much Daniel was selling today

"Daniel sold another car ? ok is it just me, or does it feel like the whole Barcelona thing never happened ?" Anoush said

"No, There's something off with him psychologically" Louie stated

"I mean with this whole ordeal with Robby and not to mention the poor dude saw a kid die"

Anoush nodded his head

"Yeah, I heard he was the one who flipped the kid over"

Looking at Anoush with a face of confusion Louie shook his head

"Are you serious ? flip them over ? What is he a pancake ? Why don't you show a little respect-aw shit he's coming over here- hey HEY ! nice sale cuz. Want me to grab a Bonsai ?"

Closing the pad in his hands Daniel had Immediately shook his head

"Uh no, no more Bonsai's to customers. We're moving away from that"

"That's a notable strategic pivot" Anoush pointed out with a raised eyebrow

Looking back and forth between the two Daniel raised an eyebrow

"Hey what are you guys still doing standing around ? Robby and Sam's Rehearsal is in a week and I'm up to HERE preparing the Wedding. Already hard enough trying to filter Johnny's ideas, all bad by the way"

"Hey yeah I was thinking what should the catering name go out to be ?" Louie said as he and Anoush placed down their Coffee

"Samantha Keene or Robby LaRusso ? or is it gonna be Samantha Lawrence. Nah nope I'd be dead if we just gave over Sam to Johnny like that"

"Whatever" Daniel said interrupting his Cousin

"As long as Robby and Sam are happy alright, I wanna get this wedding done before they go off on their own walks of life and I can't do that if my two right hand men are standing around so Rehearsal decorations get it done. Just like the old days"

"The old days before Karate, when we were junior salesmen painting dicks off Billboards ?" Anoush said making Daniel grin

"Yeah see now you got it now come on get started getting those banners and supplies, stainless steel. No more lounging chop chop !"

Seeing Daniel order than around only made the two roll their eyes in a quiet sigh as it just proved Louie's point more

Daniel had approached Amanda sending off a worker and with the news he just got he knew he had to tell

"Hey"

"Hi" she smiled

"Good news. That guy I just sold the car to works in admissions at UCLA" he said leaving Amanda's smile

"He thinks Sam has a great shot at getting in"

"Ohhh, so did you give him the whole friends, family and pizah ! discount" Amanda teased poking his chest making him chuckle

"Hey come on, we don't need to grease the wheels for her. She's got everything set up perfectly, right ? Great School, Close to home, Safe and Happy"

"Oh are you also forgetting the Wedding your throwing for your 18 year old Daughter" Amanda said making Daniel chuckle

"Yeah ok that too. Might be jumping the gun here with that one"

"Oh ya think, little 5 years too early" Amanda teased making them both laugh

"With the whole Robby Graduation Situation I just want them both to feel Safe and Happy. They deserve it. Like us right ?"

With a smile on her face Amanda knew it was hard to disagree

"Ohh that does sound good" she said leaving Daniel to smile as soon enough the married couples had kissed leaving Louie and Anoush to watch as they were trying to open a big poster board

"I'm telling you there is something completely wrong with that man over there" Louie said and even though Anoush hated it….

He had to agree

Within a remote location with beaches and palm trees found the Sekai Taikai Host receiving a full fledge massage that helped calm his nerves

"Oh Gunter, your holding So much tension" the woman said as Gunther groaned

"That's an understatement" he said with a sigh as he continued to relax

But the relaxing didn't last long when the sound of the music stopping made him open his eyes

"Something wrong ?"

"Mr Bruan" a voice said Immediately making the man pick his head up and turn around seeing Terry Silver sitting in a seat awaiting him

Quickly getting to his feet. Gunter put on a Robe covering himself

"Mr Silver, I don't recall inviting you. Infact, I did not want to be found at all"

Shifting in his seat with a grin Silver shook his head

"You were a champion once, weren't you Gunther ? a great fighter. Fighters face their problems head on"

"You traveled a long way to make a point, so what is it" Gunther said already tired of the antics but luckily Silver was ready to stop as well

"The Sekai Taikai, Karate in general" Silver exclaimed with his hands

"Had gotten a whole lot of attention lately, and in the end. There's no such thing as bad publicly-"

"I believe you just quoted PT Barnum, A man famous for running a circus, well I'm not a clown"

"Right now you are" Silver said with all seriousness

"You're gonna let this be the legacy of the Sekai Taikai"

"The Tournament Is Cancelled !" Gunther exclaimed

"There is no alternative"

"No, there's something better. An Opportunity" Silver stated making Gunther scrunch his face

"We should be steering into this storm, Not away, reclaim the Tournament, make it Bigger. Let the world see the good. What happened was a….A freak accident with a foreign object off the mat" Silver pointed out with a confident smirk

"Mr PR guys will eat this up for Breakfast"

With his own settled Grin Gunther shook his head

"You're a true negotiator. Right down to the strategy of entering while I was in an awkward state. Taking the high Ground"

Quickly getting up to his feet Silver towered over the man with a growl upon his face

"I always have the high ground, But that doesn't mean I'm wrong"

Looking Silver's face up and down Gunther honestly saw how devoted and serious Silver was about this, about the Tournament

"I admit….The Sekai Taikai ending on my watch would be…devastating"

"Neither of us want it all to end so abruptly"

"We have to face the fact that a competitor DIED !"

"And we will honor him, not bury his memory. The last images of the Sekai Taikai can be…..him bloody and…."

Closing his hands over his face Silver shook his head

"Or….they can be a global championship celebration of our great sport"

Looking at Silver's demeanor, Gunther stood up to face him man to man eye to eye

"The only way we could even consider restarting the tournament. Is if Everyone and I mean EVERYONE. Is fully on board. ALL the Sensei's"

With that Gunther made his leaving Causing Silver to look after him up and down

KNOCK

KNOCK

KNOCK

Stepping into the small hut Zara had Immediately sniffled her nose, her crying finally coming to a falter, Probably because she had no more tears ducts to give

Zara didn't hesitate to see the old man turn his head, the white Gi he wore still fresh even after the funeral

"Are you Kwon's Grandmaster ?" she asked the man only to receive no response

Swallowing the lump in her throat Zara continued

"My names Zara…..Zara Malik….I was Kwon's-"

"Kwon didn't care for anyone but himself" the man said Harshly making Zara scrunch her face

"You and your team have overstayed your welcome. Now you must leave"

With her fist scrunch and eyebrows furrowed Zara shook her head knowing she wasn't in the mood to argue, Especially with Kwon's old Master of all people

"alright…..I'll go…I just thought you'd want to know who's responsible that's all" she said before turning away

"Wait" Master Kim's voice commanded halting her movements as Zara had turned around once more

"Who is responsible for my Students Death"

With nothing but rage and anger in her heart Zara gritted her teeth

"He was the Previous Captain of your team. The one who wore the headband before Kwon. His name is Eli Moskowitz"

"Mr Bruan said the tournament can return if everyone agrees" Sensei Kim said

There was eager in her voice, Eager Kreese failed to reciprocate

"I….I don't know…."

"We don't have to decide now, we can discuss this-"

"Choying" Master Kim Immediately said joining the conversation

"No discussion"

Walking around both Kim and Kreese Grandmaster Kim shook his head

"My dojo had been embarrassed, We WILL return to Tournament, And we will avenge our student" he said as he looked between Kreese and Kim

"They take one of ours, We take one of theirs"

Kreese and Kim looked at each other with complete concern for what Master Kim meant by his words. The spite and rage field within his tone from such little words sent a cold shiver down their spine

"We begin training, And Yoon will be our fighter-"

"Grandfather I don't think it's wise to send Yoon back into the tournament" Kim commented stopping his walk to make him look at her

His eyes directed upon Sensei Kim causing her to swallow the lump within her throat but she just continued

"Kwon was like a Brother to him…..all things considered, he needs time to heal, to process his emotions. We should send him home-"

"JAI !" Master Kim yelled making Sensei Kim jump, only adding to him approaching her making her jaw clench as she avoided eye contact

"Yoon will be our fighter," he said, making her sigh. Kim glanced over to Kreese for some sort of answer or…..voice of reason. But he ended up just staying quiet and biting his tongue to avoid any type of confrontation

"And he will require Special Lesson"

Raising up a black scroll with a red ribbon to tie it together, Sensei Kim's heart dropped as she knew the content that contained inside it. And it only made her think more of her Grandfather's actions and mentality of this all

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Opening the scroll revealing the technique, Master Kim looked up at his two rows of students

Yoon and Sensei Kim stood in the middle ready to begin and Master Kim had huffed his breathe before speaking

"Junbihada ! sijaghada !" (Get Ready ! Begin !)

Looking at Yoon's focused eyes Sensei Kim spoke

"Ttalahagi" (Watch and Follow) she said leaving him to nod his head with his arms behind his back

Looking at the dummy stood in front of her. Sensei Kim chopped at its head before knife striking its ribs. Finishing by stabbing and digging her fingernails into the front side of it's ribcage

"You pick Kwon specifically, yes ?" Master Kim began, getting Kreese's attention while Sensei Kim continued the lesson

"To come to tournament to uphold his potential"

Letting a pause be held within their conversation Kreese continued to squint his eyes as he watched the lesson

"That is correct Sensei…."

Master Kim let out a hum

"Yet….you Pick American Boy to be Captain ?"

Immediately Kreese's eyes went wide before he turned to his Master's stern face

"Where did you-"

"Kwon's little…."Girlfriend" told me what happened"

The news had been a complete shock to Kreese's ears. He didn't know what Master KIm knew about the fight between Hawk and Kwon, or how he felt but by the way he spoke of Hawk. Kreese knew there was resentment there

"You fed Kwon lies, told him to give into his anger, to fuel his rage into motivation. Just to rip away his spot and replace it with an untrained American boy-"

"Hawk isn't-"

"JOYONGHAN !" (QUIET !) Master KIm yelled halting the lesson as soon enough all eyes were on the two of them

Sensei Kim had stopped striking the dummy and looked at the older men, And the same had gone to all the students watching. Seeing as their headmaster huffed his breathe and his eyes spoke of anger

"Kwon is DEAD ! because of YOU !" Master Kim said making Kreese's eyes fall, his arms still folded with no words to be said

Turning to look at Sensei Kim Master Kim had raised his staff

"neon nae dojang-eseo ileon sig-eulo galeuchil jagyeog-i eobs-eo deo sege !" (You are not worthy of teaching in my dojang like this HARDER !)

Letting out a low annoyed growl Sensei Kim had huffed her breathe before performing the technique again leaving Master Kim and Kreese to continue their conversation

"Your Student is responsible for Kwon's death" Master Kim stated leaving Kreese to sigh

"And for his actions he will, face our wraith"

An obvious chill was sent down Kreese's spine due to Master Kim's words. Blaming Hawk for Kwon's death was so far beyond any line he wanted to cross. But it seemed that's where they were right now.

And that's far from where he wanted to be

Sensei Kim had Performed the Technique once more leaving Master Kim to have enough

"Chungbunhan !" (Enough) the older man yelled stopping his Granddaughters actions to get her and Yoon's attention

"Yoon ! junbihada !" (Get Ready)

With a bow and stern face everyone watched Yoon approach the Dummy and get into his ready stance

"Aniyo !" (NO !) the man said gaining the students eyes

With a simple raise of his staff Master Kim spoke out words shocking everyone

"Min-Seok !"

With wide eyes as a reaction Yoon had looked at Sensei Kim for answers she did not have. Her own shocked reaction shown at what her Grandfather had planned

Standing before each other Yoon and Min-Seok had bowed before each took a deep breathe to prepare on what was gonna happen next

"We learn by Punishment" Master Kim told Kreese as Yoon had steadied his hand before chopping Min-Seok's neck making him cry out in pain

"Punishment, For failing teammate"

Continuing the attack Yoon had knife attacked Min-Seok's ribs making him groan even harder

"PUNISHMENT FOR FAILING BROTHER !" Master Kim yelled loud enough for everyone to hear. But it was well enough obvious that the harsh words were meant for Yoon

And soon enough Sensei Kim knew this was less of a lesson and more of disciplinary action

"PUNISHMENT FOR FAILING ME !"

Not satisfied by how Yoon performed the technique Master Kim had stomped over to Yoon Immediately getting his attention. The pain and disapproval was clear in his eyes but none of it was verbally said only angering the Grandmaster more

"While Kwon was fighting for his LIFE ! You stood !" Master Kim yelled forcing Yoon to swallow the lump in his throat

"AND WATCHED ! LIKE A COWARD !"

Closing her eyes at the boom of her Grandfather's voice in a sense of shocking jump. Sensei Kim could practically feel the rage within his voice. It was pouring like a tempted volcano and sure enough he was erupting

Master Kim had continued to stare Yoon down before pointing his staff at Min-Seok

"THIS ! IS YOUR PUNISHMENT ! HARDER !"

Turning to look at the plea in Min-Seok's eyes. Yoon had taken a deep breath before cracking his fingers into a knuckles fist.

Both Kreese and Sensei Kim held a disapproved look upon their faces but that didn't stop Yoon from yelling before striking harder than before chopping Min-Seok in the neck making him groan in louder pain

His cry made all the students in line drop their heads farther, slight jumps and flinches in reactions were shared as Yoon's attack continued. Leaving Yoon to finish the techniques rib jab dropping Min-Seok to the ground in a heavily pained yell

Continuing to cry on the ground Min-Seok had coughed out blood as he dragged himself back into line while Yoon watched with heavy breaths at what he had done to his lifelong friend

Thinking the Punishment was over Yoon was quickly corrected as Master Kim had slammed his staff onto the ground next to him

"Chung-Hee !" he yelled, raising the students head showing his scared face. But that didn't stop Master Kim from pointing his staff at the boy leaving him to take a deep breath before stepping out in front of Yoon

Looking at the fear in Yoon's face Sensei Kim tried to get words out, Tried to say something that would end this punishment but….nothing worked, And looking at Kreese didn't help because he was just as speechless. Only gripping the collar of his Gi tightly in watch

"PERHAPS YOU LET KWON DIE OUT OF SPITE !" Master Kim yelled causing Yoon to look at him with anger in his eyes

"TO REGAIN PLACE AS TOP STUDENT !"

"NO ! NO ! THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED !" Yoon finally spoke out but Master Kim was quick to respond

"THAN WHY DID HE DIE !"

"BECAUSE HAWK KILLED HIM !" Yoon admitted in a raging yell. His knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white but Master Kim was yet to be satisfied

"THEN SHOW ME WHAT YOU WILL DO TO HIM !"

With clenched fist and a tighten jaw, Yoon let out a raging yell as flashes and memories of Hawk and Kwon's fight came rushing back to him

Every block, every kick, every punch and lick of blood spilled between the two. The sound of Kwon's yelling as the knife plunged into his gut leaving Yoon with his jaw dropped reaction mixed with his beaten face

The once person he called a friend had betrayed him, The same person he hesitated to fight against used his weakness as a disadvantage and because of him Kwon had to pay the price

Yoon's Anger had taken over completely and instead of seeing Chung-Hee. Instead he imagined it was Hawk he was attacking

The sound of Yoon cracking Chung-Hee's ribs before he dropped to the floor left a shiver running down everyone's spine. But the cry of agony and pain from Chung-Hee only made it worse as Yoon didn't let go

Dropping to his knees it took the likes of Sensei Kim to intervene and finally Pull Yoon's hand away whilst telling him to stop to finally put an end to this unfair punishment

But Kreese knew

The damage had already been done

Letting out a small chuckle, Master Kim nodded his head. Soon placing a hand on Yoon's shoulder before tapping him lightly

"Good, Good, Now you finally understand. Actions have consequences" Master Kim began leaving Sensei Kim to simply look up at her Grandfather in complete dismay of his lesson before looking at the dark huffed look displayed across Yoon's face. The way his hand cracked and ached still positioned in formation

"Pack your bags, You leave tomorrow night"

Turning to look at his Grandmaster Yoon licked his lips and looked down at Chung-Hee's beaten from before taking a hesitant breathe so that he could bow in response and soon leave, Leaving Sensei Kim and Kreese to only share a hesitant look at just how deep these scars ran

"Guys, there's too much slack. Come on, put some muscle into it, let's go !" Daniel groaned as he watched Anoush and Louie raise the Giant Robby Keene and Samantha LaRusso rehearsal banner

"Yeah come on you heard the man. Pull harder" Louie said to Anoush making him groan

"You know we still haven't figured out a catering name right ?" Anoush stated now causing Louie to roll his eyes but that didn't stop Anoush from continuing to speak

"I'm just saying, study's show that breaking orderly law causes drifts in marriage by 35%"

"Man who cares what studies say" Louie waved off with a scoff

"Sam's a LaRusso, through and through. And her getting married ain't gonna change that. It's Mr and Mrs LaRusso"

"If you give into the new age ritual you'll be jeopardizing their marriage before it even begins. Some things are set in stone for a reason and a wife taking a Husband's name is a tale as old as time. It's tradition. You don't break tradition. It's Mr and Mrs Keene"

Anoush and Louie's arguing became so much for Daniel that he didn't even want to get in between it anymore. Only shaking his head with a small sigh whilst putting his hand up to his head to contain his small headache

Walking into the main lobby, Johnny looked at the sign with squinted eyes

"The hell man, why isn't it Robby and Samantha Lawrence ?"

"Because Shannon was the one who signed Robby's birth certificate" Daniel snapped back, his tone a little more aggressive than intended but Johnny didn't take it to harshly as he just put his hands up in defeat

"Damn LaRusso who pissed in your coffee"

With a sigh Daniel shook his head once more

"Sorry, sorry. Just…..dealing with a lot right now. With the whole Robby situation, And the wedding coming up. Sam going off to college-"

Immediately Johnny groaned

"I don't even wanna talk about Robby right now" Johnny said, as they shared very similar ideals on his current situation

"He's being fed a shit sandwich on soggy bread. And there's not a damn thing we can do about it"

"I told Robby we can start his car sales training today. Get him ready to take over the business if he wants but…I…..I don't know. He didn't take it well. And in hindsight. I don't think Robby wants to be running a Car company for the rest of his life"

Johnny simply nodded his head in agreement. As nice and generous as it was for Daniel to be practically offering him an entire career. He knew Robby didn't want that for his future

"The kids are really struggling with this tournament being ripped away you know" Johnny said

"So close to the end, Everyone put everything they had into it"

"I know, I know" Daniel sighed

"But we need to move on. There's no other choice. The tournaments over" Daniel said, his tone sounding more like he was trying to convince himself more so than Johnny but either way he couldn't be more clear

The fight was over

"Plus there's plenty to focus on here at home" Daniel said, gesturing to both their combined families placing tables and setting them up all throughout the dealership where the cars would usually be parked

The sight had made Johnny grin, seeing the Lawrence-LaRusso-Diaz family in full effect. All under one roof. Made him realize that Life was gonna be like this and it just had him wondering how they got here

"All hands on deck, huh ?" Johnny smirked leaving Daniel to grin

"Yep yourself included, This is your Son's rehearsal, You're on Balloon duty"

"Aww come on man" Johnny whined but Daniel didn't back down as his simply tapped Johnny on his shoulder with a teasing smirk

"Come on you're gonna love it"

"Ok ok, but here" Johnny began as he dug out a list from his pocket before handing it to Daniel who held a confused look

"Ok so I was thinking after Sam and Robby kiss to seal the deal, we pop off a bunch of fireworks and play some Metallica ! badass right"

Looking up at Johnny with a concerned look Daniel didn't even know where to begin

Letting out a loud and heavy grunt Anthony huffed his breathe heavily as he moved the last table

ALL BY HIMSELF

Because his so called "friends" were too busy kissing

Letting out a groan as he watched Devon and Kenny suck face, Anthony simply rolled his eyes because sure enough he had enough

"Ok ok ok cut it out" Anthony said finally breaking the two apart as he Literally got in between them

"Jesus we get it, you two are together, the entire world doesn't need to know that every second of the day" Anthony stated making Kenny and Devon chuckle while Devon herself tried to hide her blush

"Ah don't get jealous LaRusso" Kenny smirked as he tapped his shoulder jokingly

"Where's your girl at, Miguel's girlfriends here"

"Lia" Anthony corrected making Kenny chuckle

"Is actually away right now, decided to go to some big convention in San Francisco"

"Aww, and she left you all alone, why ?" Devon said causing Anthony to tick his head

"Maybe because my Sister's wedding is coming up Devon. Something you BOTH would know if you stopped sucking face and helped out around here"

Hearing the annoyance in his voice both Kenny and Devon put their hands up in defeat as they knew they were in the wrong

"Alright alright, hey look we're sorry man. Ok For real we are" Kenny apologized leaving Anthony to take a deep breathe

"Yeah look, just give us a task and we'll do it. No goofing off"

Putting a hand up to his forehead. Anthony had ticked his head before finally speaking

"Alright, we could use more decorative glasses-"

"We're on it !" Devon said before Immediately taking Kenny's hand leaving Anthony to watch as the two hurried off

And while one would think their doing his wishes, Anthony had only shook his head in annoyance because of one small thing

He didn't even tell them where to go

"Did you hear who your Dad sold a car to this morning ?" Amanda said Immediately making Sam chuckle

"I did, like ten times. It's all he wants to talk about"

Pausing their activity of wiping down tables. Daniel had approach the small group

"Hey Miguel, Moon. Did you guys hear who I sold a car to this morning ?"

"See" Sam said once more making Miguel and Moon chuckle

"Who ?" Miguel asked already seeing the eagerness on Daniel's face which allowed Amanda to answer for him

"A big shot at UCLA admissions"

"Woah ! Sam ! congrats, that's amazing !" Miguel beamed as Moon had hugged Sam out of pure excitement making the girl chuckle

"thanks…But you know it's still really early. Nothing's decided yet. I mean hell…that's not even the biggest thing happening in my life currently" Sam said, her obvious gesture to well….everything they were setting up for just caused everyone to laugh

"It's still really huge, UCLA is great"

Nodding his head at his girlfriends words

"Yeah, especially since the Sekai Taikai's done….Safe to say that the Stanford dream is pretty done too"

Nodding her head sorely at Miguel's disappointment. It sucked for Sam that both the boys in her life practically had their futures ripped away from them

"Yeah….I know that…changed things for everyone, For you, for me, Tory, Eli….Robby"

There was hesitation in her voice mentioning her fiance's name. Robby was his own set of problems and all the solutions were the Sekai Taikai

"How is the Future Hubby by the way" Moon asked crooking a smile to form on Sam's face due to Moon's use of cute words

"How's he taking….everything"

Nodding her head, Sam looked back to see Robby and Demetri setting up different glasses and drinks. His face holding his owe so common Robby Keene glare that she sadly had gotten used too

Even though he was obviously down in the dumps. Sam just pursed her lips in a smile trying to find the good of it all

"As good as he takes all the bad news….he's pushing through. Not letting it define him" Sam answered leaving Moon and Miguel to nod their heads

"He's lucky to have your ray of sunshine that shines over his darkness Sam" Moon said making her smile

"Yeah, and with you going to UCLA you don't have to worry about being away from him. It's a win win, everyone's happy" Miguel pointed out leaving Sam to simply nod her head

"Yeah….yeah a win" she said almost in a mutter that Amanda had easily picked up seeing her Apathy

Daniel's phone had suddenly rung getting his attention as he needed to dig into his jacket pocket to grasp at cutting the conversation short

"Be right back, Bruins fans"

Taking some steps away from the group Daniel picked up the phone

"Hello ?"

Hearing some chatter and words from the device Daniel nodded his head

"Yeah, Sensei Lawrence is here too….why what's this about ?"

Striking the punching Bag hard and fierce, Zara huffed her breathe

Building up quite a sweat, her skin glistened showing just how much and how long she was working

And even though she had been punching the same bag for what seemed like hours. It barely felt like 30 minutes to her

With huffing breaths, Zara continued to punch and strike at the bag, she tried to contain her thoughts and emotions like she was always taught too

To feel nothing but the fight, feel nothing and be nothing that's how you become a Champion

"I don't want you to go…"

Quickly remembering the shared moment she had with Kwon in the lobby Zara shook her head

Feel nothing

"Will I ever see you again ?"

The uncertainty of not knowing when she'd see Kwon again came back. The gut dropping feeling she had only multiplied more knowing he was…..gone

Feeling her knuckles ache, Zara gritted her teeth as she punched the bag even harder, the more she punched the more memories of Kwon came flashing back,

Remembering him, the way he fought so confidently and skillfully, the way he moved, his attitude, His demeanor.

All Zara's life she was taught to feel nothing but as she continued to try and pound away her feelings all she felt was more emotions

She never….Loved someone before

Huffing her breathe Zara started to hyperventilate within her training as the realisation had set in

She loved him

She LOVED Kwon

And now he was gone

And she would never see him again

Punching the Bag so hard sand started to leak, Zara paid no attention to the damage as soon enough she started to cry

Placing her forehead upon the bag Zara's tears didn't fail to fall. Only continuing to pour like a waterfall while she fully hugged the Black Punching Bag thinking it was him

She tried to convince herself it was Kwon she was holding, that he wasn't gone and he was right there with her

But she knew the truth

And that's what hurt even more

The sound of footsteps entering the room caused Zara to stop crying Immediately. Letting out a small "Oh shit" as she tried to wipe her tears before turning around

She knew she was in deep shit with Sensei Wolf. It took hell and high water to beg him to take her and the team to Kwon's funeral along with a promise that she'd stop all these "Feelings" for Kwon

But that was obviously a lie and Sensei Wolf was the last person you want to lie to

Luckily it wasn't Wolf he entered the Training Room, instead it being Terry Silver

"Don't try and hide the tears" he said as Zara sniffled and wiped her eyes

"Sorry Mr Silver"

Walking up to the girl the man grinned a little, seeing her display such emotions was a…new sight compared to the Young women he's met months ago

"I understand this Past Month has been hard for you" Silver said

"You've gone through a lot. With the Sekai Taikai being canceled, Your sponsors threatening to leave you"

His voice always had this weird way of twisting your emotion strings and right now it was working

"And worst of all. Your departed lover"

Placing his hand over his heart, Silver looked up at the ceiling in emotion only twisting the knife more

And it worked because right now Zara found it hard to share eye contact and rid of this gut feeling within her

"May his soul find the peace it needs"

Letting out another sniffle, Zara wiped her nose and nodded her head

"Thank you, for the kind words Mr Silver" Zara said making him smile

"I just wish…..I wish there was a way I could honor him. Besides spending my days crying"

Immediately Silver's smile turned to a grin

"I am so glad you said that my dear" Silver said as he pulled something out of his jacket pocket

Revealing the Eunjangdo, The Same Eunjangdo that took Kwon's life. Zara's eyes were so wide she practically passed out due to shock

Even more so, she was beyond surprised to see Silver handing the seethed blade to her, passing it along into her hands

A shiver ran down her spine once she felt her palms grip the steel casing, all she could think about was how this simple blade ruined her life

And now…..it was being given to her ?

Seeing the confusion hell the discomfort on Zara's face, Silver placed his hand over hers gaining her eyes

"This isn't a gift, It's a promise. I can get you the revenge you seek. Help you make the ones that killed Kwon pay"

Seeing her once emotional tone shift to cold blooded anger. Silver grinned even more knowing she was on board

And if that didn't convince him enough

Zara seething the blade revealing the cold steel was enough

"Hell Yeah ! Did they say when they're gonna start it back up ?" Johnny exclaimed clapping his hands in excitement about the news

Pacing back in forth, Johnny was clearly eager to get this Karate show back on the road

But it was his Partner that shared the opposite of enthusiasm

"Couple of weeks ? Month or two ? they say if we're going back to Barcelona ? or somewhere else ?"

"Alright alright, Slow down, Johnny" Daniel said placing his hands out to try and calm his Partner

"Why ? you don't think everyone's gonna be back on board ?"

Looking the blonde up and down Daniel raised an eyebrow

"Honestly ? no" he said now leaving Johnny confused

"Because I'm not" he admitted shocking Johnny

"What ?"

"I meant what I said, alright we need to move on. Ok, I mean do you really wanna go back to dealing with Kreese ?" Daniel began only leaving Johnny to think about the points he was making

"Or see Robby get his head bashed in again ? Have him and Eli going at each other's throats once more"

Licking his lips in thought Johnny shook his head

"You said we were moving on 'cause we don't have a choice'" Johnny said looking at Daniel's sigh

"Now we do ! Robby doesn't have to end his Karate career this way. We can still win !"

"Johnny, a kid DIED !" Daniel exclaimed making Johnny click his tongue in annoyance

"And that SAME KID ! attacked Eli, gave him a giant Scar across his left eyes. Eli could've been any one of them ! Tory, Miguel, Demetri, Sam or Robby-"

"Daniel-"

"There's nothing else to talk about-"

"Please-"

"I'm Sorry !" Daniel said shaking his head

"I made my decision….alright"

Tapping on his desk, Daniel stood up from his seat leaving Johnny unsatisfied

"Now come on. Still lots of work to be done for this rehearsal" he said leaving Johnny to watch as Daniel left the office

"It's bullshit ! like he didn't even consider it for a second !" Johnny groaned as he continued to multi task by ranting and making the new crib for the soon to be born baby

"Meanwhile, While Sam and Robby are about to become "soon to be's" he's got be on balloon duty, which literally blows"

Standing up so that he could attach to parts together. Carmen grabbed the instructions Johnny very much did not care about

"I think you might have to use the Allen wrench" she suggested but Johnny just showed him holding the bolt in his hand

"I got my hands" he said leaving Carmen to make a face

"Just saying….we get this far in the tournament, and we're not gonna finish the fight ? after everything we went through ? we should at least vote on it"

Angrily shaking the Crib seeing as the bolts wont connect Johnny shook his head

"Come on, you stupid piece of crap"

"It looks like there's parts missing" Carmen said but Johnny just shook his head

"Why'd we get such a complicated-ass crib ?"

"It was recommended"

"Oh yeah by who"

Not wanting to say the name due to his attitude Johnny already knew the answer making him groan

"LaRusso's….again…jesus they're everywhere"

"Wow, ok maybe this crib should be for you. Considering you know. Your Son's getting married to one" Carmen said, chuckling at Johnny offputness

"Look, the tournament coming back would be really nice, ok It would. But you've had so much success working for the LaRussos"

"I know, I know" Johnny caved knowing once again Carmen was always right

"They've done a lot of nice things for me lately, hell they've changed all our lives. Handling Robby better than I ever could've. But I didn't expect to be a car salesman the rest of my life. No dojo of my own. It's not exactly the dream"

Shaking her head Carmen sighed

"Most people don't get to live their dreams….I mean, look at Miguel and Stanford. But maybe it's that way so we learn to make the most with what we have ?...and….we have a lot" Carmen smiled as she placed a hand on her round belly

Looking down at the pink blanket Carmen handed Johnny, the blonde had soon grabbed the fabric and placed it across the cribs mattress before looking over the bed with Carmen with how own smile

"So this is where our little girl's gonna sleep huh"

"Yeah" Carmen nodded

"...I know we got so much good in our lives…I just….I wasn't ready to let go of the dream you know…"

Nodding her head with a smile Carmen understood

"I know" she said as soon enough Johnny put a hand around her waist and kissed her forehead making her smile as she kissed him back

Standing on his Yacht looking upon the sea, Silver's phone had rung getting his attention

"Mr Braun" the man said, stepping inside the sea vehicle

"I was able to reach all the senseis, unfortunately the decision was not unanimous"

Dropping his head with a sigh Silver shook his head knowing exactly who the problem was

"It was LaRusso, wasn't it ?"

Hearing Gunther sigh only proved him right, but the damage had already been done

"I'm sorry, Mr Silver. Perhaps it's for the best"

With that Gunther hung up leaving Silver to hang up the phone and drop down onto the nearby table below so that he could grip the seat beneath him allowing him to take a second and breathe

"You all right, sir ?" one of the boat attendees asked getting his attention

"Yeah yeah I uhh….Just feeling a bit nauseous"

"The tough seas, perhaps ?" he suggested but Silver shook his head

"No, no. it's not that"

Digging into his jacket pocket the attendant pulled out a bottle of pills and handed it to Silver, a gesture he quickly accepted as he started to uncap the bottle

"Tell the Captain we're changing course. I need to drop in a friend in the Valley"

Nodding his head the attendant was ready to make his leave but Silver put his hand up stopping his movements

"And get this message to Master Kim Sun-Yung as fast as you can" Silver said as he handed the man a letter

"Yes sir" the man nodded before leaving allowing Silver to think on all his actions before popping a couple of pills into his mouth

Scrapping some green dust into a brew of warm water, Master Kim continued to prepare the concoction awaited for Sensei Kim's hand

The same hand she was currently clutching in complete pain, as her hand throbbed and ached with red blood all over

Mixing the last of the sizzling water, Master Kim dropped the sticks he was mixing with before bringing the bowl to his granddaughter

"ileohge hamyeon chiyudoebnida" (this will heal)

Hesitantly placing her hand into the warm water, Sensei Kim tried not to think about the stinging of the water. And distracted herself with the consequences of her own actions

"hal-abeoji, baleusellona-eseo il-eonan il-e daehae" (Grandfather, about what happened in Barcelona)

"ye, gwageoe jibjunghaji malgo milaeleul naedabwaya habnida" (Aye, Must not focus on Past, Look forward into future)

Sensei Kim didn't like his answer, it still sounded like he was on a warpath, and Yoon was gonna be used as his personal soldier.

And she'd be damned if she was ever gonna use her students she's been raising since they were children. Ever Again

Before the conversation could continue, the door to Master Kim's hut had been opened revealing Kreese

Standing up to place down the Bowl, Kreese put his arms forward before speaking

"Master Kim, may I speak to you privately ?"

"What you say, you say to all" Master Kim stated causing Kreese and Sensei Kim to share a look before he spoke

"Very well, about the Lesson today….I don't think she should be teaching this"

Master Kim and Sensei Kim shared their own set of eyes as Kreese simply continued

"She is not you, I've decided that we are not returning to the Sekai Taikai" Kreese said sternly only making master Kim chuckle in humor

"That….is uh, not your decision"

"I made it my decision" Kreese doubled down

"By signing away Cobra Kai"

Master Kim's humor quickly went away, replaced by furrowed brows of anger

"The decision is now out of both our hands-"

"And given to your American students" Sensei Kim finished in thought

Nodding his head, Master Kim understood Kreese's plan, quite truly it was a smart one. One that brought a grin to his face

"Aye so you really were listening" Master Kim said looking up at Kreese's glare

"Must say, very smart. BUT I have already made my decision. Yoon will still be going to the tournament" Master Kim confirmed making both Kreese and Kim's eyes go wide in shock

"But Grandfather…..we don't own Cobra Kai anymore ? Yoon has no affiliation to fight for ?"

Turning to look at his Granddaughter. The Grandmaster chuckled

"Yoon will not be fighting for Cobra Kai" Master Kim confirmed only supring Sensei Kim more as he turned to face Kreese

"You know better than anyone that War can not be walked away from" Master Kim said as he approached his former student. Seeing the defeat on his face close up. Leaving Sensei Kim to feel the loss just the same

"Indeed I do" Kreese agreed as he looked down upon his former master

"By you've made it just as clear that this is no longer my fight"

"Than why are you still here"

His words were cold and simple, but all the more effective, Only leaving him to think about what he said

So instead of saying something back Kreese did what he thought was right

He walked away, leaving the Hut and his former Master behind

Watching Kreese make his leave. Master Kim's eyes squinted

"geuui mal-i majseubnida." (He's right) Master Kim said turning back to face Sensei Kim

"neon naega anila nae jalileul chajihalyeoneun geoya. hajiman geudaeegeneun him-i eobs-seubnida. i dojang-i nawa hamkke jugneundaneun geos-eun neulg-eun-iloseo seulpeun il-ibnida." (You are not me, You want to take my place. But you do not have the power. It is a sad thing, for an old man to face, that this dojang will die with me)

"hal-abeoji, igeon uli gajog-ui galadeyeyo. uliui yusan-iji. jega sabeom-i doel su iss-eoyo. nae pyeongsaeng-i igeol wihae sal-awass-eo" (Grandfather, this is our Family's Karate. OUR legacy. I can be the master. All my life has led to it)

Looking his granddaughter up and down. Master Kim squinted his eyes

"yeoleobundo geucheoleom jasin-eul jeungmyeonghal su issneun gihoeleul gajge doel geos-ibnida. hajiman geuleohge halyeomyeon…" (You will have a chance to prove yourself, as he did. But to do it…) Master Kim began, approaching Sensei Kim to really make his words cut deep

"maeu eolyeoun il-eul haeya habnida" (You must do something very difficult)

With a wide eyed reaction, Sensei Kim knew exactly what he meant

And truth be told….she truly didn't know if she had what it took to do it

"Ok I think I found a compromise to our catering situation" Anoush said as he and Louie wiped down a final table

"Alright talk to me whatcha got"

Putting his hands up to his face Anoush spoke out

"What if….we let Robby and Sam decide ?"

Giving Anoush's idea some thought Louie did the one thing he never thought he'd do

"I agree, Let's do it !" Louie said making Anoush smile as soon enough the two fisted bumped at their solved problem

"There are my two men hard at work" Vannesa said as she approached the two men in her life

"Hi sugar bear" Anoush grinned before placing as kiss on Venessa's lips

"I want these filled all the way to the top" Johnny demanded to the two employees

"Make 'em nice and tight, I want 'em everywhere. Ok this is my son and Soon to be Daughter's rehearsal. I want it to be special, get 'em ready for the real thing"

"Johnny, there's a test drive out front. They asked for you by name" Daniel's assistant said leaving Johnny to smirk

"Someone's got good taste"

Letting go of a balloon letting it fly into the air, Johnny had made his leave ready to head outside

"Hey LaRusso. Tighten that up a little bit, huh ?"

"Do I know you ?" Vanessa said looking Johnny up and down but Johnny simply shook his head

"I Never forget a LaRusso"

"Huh" she mumbled before sticking both middle fingers to Johnny but not for too long as she got wind of Sam

"Oh ! hi love ! there she is, the soon to be" Vanessa said making Sam smile and laugh

"Oh honey you are glowing !"

"I uhh….It's isn't it pregnant women who glow ?" Sam chuckled leaving Vannesa to just grin

"I don't know. Did you and Mr Hotty Karate go to town with one another in Barcelona ?" Vannesa teased making Sam laugh once more

"Speaking of which, how was it ?"

Placing a vase at the table Sam pursed her lips in thought

"It was good you know…well there was a bit of a dark cloud over everything and all But-"

"Oh not sweetheart, not the Karate stuff. I want the tea on the city, the food, the Spanish men"

"Oh" Sam said with a laugh as she suddenly leaned on the table

"It was…Kinda amazing" Sam said finally getting what she needed to off her chest, thankful that someone asked a non Karate related question

"The culture, the beaches, the food It was….I don't know it was great to finally get out of the Valley bubble"

"Yeah that's great. I'm sure pretty boy proposed in like the most romantic way possible"

Awkwardly nodding her head Sam sucked on her tongue in response before chuckling as she twisted her engagement ring

"It was something like that" Sam responded confusing Vanessa

"Something as in he cheaped out on the dinner ?" Vanessa asked making Sam laugh

"More like he proposed after winning our match that got us into the Semi Finals after he beat his Rival and our friend Eli" Sam answered leaving a shocked expression on Vanessa's face

"Ohh. well at least he got you a ring"

Again Sam cringed

"Didn't really get it in the moment" she laughed once more sending Vanessa over the edge

"Hmm, You know I don't think I'll ever understand Karate" Vanessa stated leaving Sam to just nod her head

Suddenly joining the conversation. Amanda had dropped into the table

"So what are we talking about ? UCLA ?"

"What are you kidding ?" Vanessa laughed out loud

"She's not going to UCLA. this girl is dying to get away from home"

Quickly taking herself off the table Amanda had looked at Sam's sudden change of expression

"What I ! no no no ! I didn't say that" Sam quickly defended but Vanessa was quick to speak up

"So we're just not having an honest conversation about this ? Is that where you're all at ? or ?"

Turning to look at her daughter Sam let out her own sigh as she knew she needed to speak the truth

"Honestly….I have been looking further from home" Sam admitted leaving Amanda to nod her head with a small smile

"I just didn't wanna say anything yet. I….I know it's gonna be complicated with….Robby and….Dad"

"I figured" Amanda understood

"And I get it. I had the same instincts when I was your age. Your Father though….Maybe we don't throw that news in the mix with him just yet"

"Ah" Vanessa said tipping off Amanda

"Oh what now" she sighed

"Clearly you know Daniel is messed up. I mean he's bridezilla-ing all over the dealership. And I'm not literally talking about your Wedding Hon, or Barcelona butttt" Vanessa dragged on as she looked at Amanda

"You're getting what you want, so Hey no sudden movements, right ?"

"Look ! I may personally be enjoying. Him putting his attention into the dealership and with Robby, but that's-"

"Ah, no no, You don't gotta justify it to me. I play this game too. I got Anoush right where I want him. Ain't that right Sam" Vanessa said suddenly dragging Sam into this and the confusion was shown on the young girl's face

"What ?"

"No no there are no games. The Karate wars being over. Is a good thing. And Daniel is fine. He's fine. Just needs some time to adjust"

Vanessa simply nodded her head not believing her and of course right on que Daniel struck again

"Guys ! What the hell is this ? I said, "No more Bonsai" What's so hard about that ?" he groaned confusing Anoush and Louie

"I thought you meant for customers. Not, like….No more bonsais anywhere-"

"I meant no more of these, period"

Daniel's outburst had gotten the attention of everyone as now all eyes looked at Daniel trying to take the tree from Anoush leading to their scuffle dropping it onto the ground

"Damn it ! Anoush gah ! just…Clean it up and Save the tree" Daniel said before walking away back into his office

Looking away from the scene Amanda had silently groaned before looking at Vanessa

"You're always right about this stuff, aren't you ?"

"Yeah…"

"It's nice great"

Looking at the sudden fiasco Demetri simply held his breathe

"Looks like everyone still isn't over what happened in Barcelona" he said leaving Robby to nod his head

"Yeah…all though Mr LaRusso's trying to put up a good front I know he's struggling to convey some emotions"

"Oh this coming from Anakin himself" Demetri teased making Robby chuckle

"Hey, are you sure you're alright ?" Demetri asked gaining his what seemed to be tired eyes

"You've been….moodier than usual. Which is kinda weird considering your going to be getting married soon"

Running a hand through his hair Robby simply sighed

"Yeah, yeah sorry. No it's just….I went so hard at the Tournament you know" Robby began leaving Demetri to nod his head

"Because I thought…I thought if I went hard enough and I won. I'd be able to take care of everyone. Me, Dad, Carmen….Give back to Mr and Mrs LaRusso for everything they've done for me. Most importantly take care of Sam….But now with the Tournament ending so abruptly….I feel like I'm back to square one you know, I'm depending on other people to fix my mistakes"

Exhaling some air from his mouth Demetri ticked his head

"Yeah that's a lot….but hey that's what's good about us you know" Demetri grinned as he playfully slapped Robby on the back

"We got each other's backs. No matter what"

Nodding his head at Demetri's words Robby tried to find the good in what he said even if it was hard

"On the same topic….I haven't talked to Eli much"

Robby didn't hesitate to hold his breath when it came to Eli. that was its own can of worms to deal with. Especially with the….new scar

"Really I haven't talked to him ever since we got back, Hell none of us have talked to him or Tory since we got back. The Top 6 is feeling pretty incomplete without them"

"The Top 6" what is that what you're calling us now ?" Robby chuckled making Demetri smile

"Yeah the group's gotta have a name. And we were the original 6 picks. I think it's fitting"

Shaking his head with a another laugh Robby simply shook his head before playfully punching Demetri's arm

"Demetri, thank you, for being you" Robby said leaving Demetri to Cutely smile

Walking outside Johnny had rubbed his hands together

"Hey, where's my test Drive ?" he asked an employee

"Right over there"

Seeing the high end car that was picked out Johnny had only smiled in excitement

"Oh yeah, high roller, baby !" Johnny said giving two thumbs up before getting into the car

"Alright let's do this"

"If you say so"

Immediately looking at the Driver Johnny's eyes went wide seeing Terry Silver put on a pair of sunglasses before driving off peeling out of the Auto Shops parking lot

Holding onto the upper handle of the Car trying to stay calm during Silver's wild driving. Johnny had gritted his teeth at what seemed to be a kidnapping

"What the hell are you doing man ?! Pull over !"

"I will after I've said my piece" Silver said but Johnny wasn't going for it

"Do it now, or I'll do it for you"

"As much as I'd love to finish what we started in Barcelona" Silver began, taking a wild right turn leaving Johnny to hold on tighter

"It's not a good idea to attack a man when he's driving"

Swerving through a series of cars nearly missing leaving Johnny on edge. Silver continued to make his point

"We wouldn't want an accident, now when we've got so much to live for"

Going up a hill to seclude themselves from the city Johnny turned to look at Silver as he continued to talk

"I don't know why you got in my way with Kreese, But I do know you and I want the same thing. The Tournament back on"

Looking at Silver once more, Johnny kept his teeth gritted but surprisingly his ears open

"And I have a way to do it that will make everyone happy. Now LaRusso won't wanna listen, But maybe we can help him"

Looking at Silver Johnny had shook his head giving the biggest surprise of the day

"No"

"No ?" Silver repeated in confusion as he swerved through another set of cars dipping into an alleyway

"Is that what LaRusso said to you ? Do the kids even know this option is on the table ?"

"Is none of your damn business" Johnny said

"You really wanna tell them their hopes and dreams are over ? What about you ? You wanna spend the rest of your life Selling Cars as LaRusso's number two, never having a place for yourself. Be your own boss"

Taking a sharp right Johnny found Silver bringing them right back into the parking lot with an aggressive and harsh thud before Johnny had dropped down into his seat finally letting go of the railing so that he could catch his breath

Taking off his sunglasses while Johnny stretched his neck, Silver shook his head

"You know, I'm not quite ready to buy yet" he began before bringing out his contact card

"But let's keep in contact"

Too grateful to be alive, Johnny had just accepted the card leaving Silver to get out the card to make his leave. But that still didn't stop the blonde from flipping the card back and forth before sighing thinking over his pros and cons

Placing clothes and other belongings into his bag. Yoon continued to pack for his eventual trip. Master Kim didn't tell him much of the plan. Just that he'd be sent away to fight in the Tournament

He hadn't been sent away alone before though, this would be the first time. Besides the Sekai Taikai the farthest and longest he's ever been gone was the Tournament they went to in Japan

Continuing to pack around his dorm room, Yoon grabbed more stuff he might need from the trip. Toiletries, Books, his wallet.

Looking at his nightstand Yoon had taken a break from packing as he laid eyes on what seemed to be the most valuable thing right now

Picking up the framed picture, an emotional smile formed on Yoon's face as he looked a image

It was a picture of their Sekai Taikai team, a picture they took before they went to the Tournament. When Hawk and Tory came to the Island to train for a while before they went to Barcelona.

Sensei Kim and Kreese stood at either ends of the photo of the team, both holding stern looks and serious expressions.

Everyone had a different pose as Hawk had his arms around Tory's waist in the photo. The Couple holding a genuine smile for the Camera

Min-Seok and their other Female teammate held up peace signs, Their excitement shown in their wide smiles for the Journey they had ahead of them

And of course. Him and Kwon. While Kwon had his arms folded, the only one in the photo that was not smiling. It didn't stop Yoon from having the widest smile on his face while his arms was slung around Kwon's shoulder

Looking at the picture Yoon's smile couldn't have been more shown as he started to think back on the memory

"Class Listen up !" Kreese yelled halting their practice

Yoon, Min-Seok, Kwon, Sensei Kim and the female teammate all halted in their training to turn their heads and face their newest Sensei

"I'd like to introduce our newest and last additions to the team, and our Captains"

With their bags slung over their shoulders, Tory and Hawk walked next to Kreese. Their faces shown they were confident but still hesitant to play nice

The 4 students held faces of confusion on the new students Kreese introduced, But Yoon had looked at Sensei Kim and Immediately seen the stern disapprovement upon her face

It only confused Yoon, had she met them before ?

And by the looks Hawk and Tory gave her it only confirmed his suspicion that they indeed knew each other

"I know this is sudden but you will all find out that Hawk and Tory are the last pieces we need for our team. To secure our success in the Sekai Taikai" Kreese said confidently, mainly to Sensei Kim who still held a disapproving look. The 4 students looked at one another, Saying no words but shared the same thought

But out of them only one was bold enough to say what they were all thinking

"And how do we know they can really fight" Kwon spoke out getting their attention

"Since they're supposed to be our "Captains" Kwon air quoted obviously to tease. A bait that was clearly working as Hawk had Immediately squinted his eyes.

"Are they really as good as you say they are ?"

Their was spite in Kwon's voice, obviously he thought he was supposed to be Captain of the team

"I'm good enough to take your punk ass" Hawk challenged Immediately stepping forward but was stopped by Tory and Kreese while it took Yoon, and Eun Ae to stop Kwon

Walking up to Kreese with folded arms, Sensei Kim was quick to show her disapprovement of his sudden move

"When you told me, you were going to bring the best of the best as our Captains this NOT what I thought you'd have in mind" Kim said as she looked back to see Kwon and Hawk still arguing while their respective sides held them back

"Your playing with Fire with this one"

Even though he knew she was right it didn't stop Kreese from grinning at his idea, it was a risk but he knew the potential this team had. And Knew the reward would be worth it

"Have a little faith" Kreese said with a chuckle

"Trust me when I say that this team, will bring Honor to your Grandfather's Dojang"

Both Sensei's Looked back to see their team not just wondering but hoping they would end up on top

Finishing the memory, Yoon found himself dripping tears onto the photo. He soon needed to wipe his eyes and rid of the emotion as he placed the photo into his bag and zipped it up before slinging it across his shoulder ready to leave

"You shouldn't go" a voice said making Yoon quickly turn around

It was Sensei Kim, a stern yet concerned face displayed within her emotions

Yoon gripped his bag tighter, along with trying to avoid eye contact with his Sensei, but still he couldn't avoid her emotions as she walked up to him

"Yoon you are a good student, a Good fighter, Is THIS how you want to honor Kwon's memory. Is THIS the type of warrior you want to be"

Gripping his bag tightly, Yoon focused his emotions as he looked at Sensei Kim in the eyes, the woman watched closely as Yoon's eyebrows furrowed. And she watched him warp into the person he was becoming

"What I want, is Revenge" he said sternly

"And this is the only way I can get it"

Hearing the seriousness in his voice, Sensei Kim knew he was all so serious.

And that's what hurt the most

"Then it seems like I can not stop you from walking this path" Sensei Kim said

Yoon had no response, no comeback. All he did was walk away leaving his Dorm and Sensei Kim behind for her to watch as yet another student of hers gave into their anger and hatred

Pouring two separate cups of tea, Sensei Kim had picked both up before passing one to Kreese

The old man had sipped the cup while Sensei Kim looked straight ahead whilst holding hers

"I guess I should start packing" Kreese said

"But then again I uhh….I don't have anyplace else to go"

Turning to look at his fellow Sensei Kreese shook his head

"It's a shame…clarity came to me so late. I made a lot of mistakes with Kwon….And with Johnny, Hawk and Tory…."

"You tried to help Yoon"

Shrugging within his cup, Kreese disagreed

"Too little….too late" he said before taking a final sip from his cup while Sensei Kim thought about everything they went through leading to now

"Tell you the truth Kim….You don't need me anymore…..I don't think anybody ever did"

Both Kreese and Kim dropped their heads in quiet but Kreese still continued to speak

"It's time for men like me to…..step aside"

Looking down at his hands as he gripped them tightly, struggling to come with these terms of reality. Sensei Kim swallowed the lump within her throat before she opened her mouth

"I am sorry it's ending this way"

Kreese sighed

"It's too late for me to be a good Sensei. Let alone be a good person. The way of the fist….gave me the power to handle many difficult things. Because there are times in life and war where you can't show mercy. But if you…devote your life to that concept, It consumes you…and I….could never control it"

Neither Kreese nor Kim could fully grasp the words coming out of his mouth, the realisation hitting like a truck. Or like cold water being poured upon their heads. But the realization was there nonetheless

"Perhaps one day…you can"

"To accomplish that…" Sensei Kim began searching for the right words to fit what she wanted

"I, too, need to do something difficult"

"Then do it" Kreese Immediately said

"What I said before is true. You are not your Grandfather. You will lead your dojo. And lead it YOUR way. You do what you have to do. And I will be proud of you for it"

Thinking back at their shared history, all the times he hid her in secret from her grandfather. Sensei Kim looked at Kreese with nothing but honor and respect for the older man

"Thank you" she said the words feeling like it would be the last time they ever spoke to one another every again as they both looked down in complete devastation

Sipping his cup one last time, Kreese let out a small sigh

"I am getting tired, I think it's time for me to rest"

Taking the cup from the man, Sensei Kim made her leave but not before she looked back at Kreese one last time getting one last look at probably her closest friend

Watching Anoush and Louie clean up the fallen Bonsai, Daniel paced back and forth within his office

His emotions had been their own jumble and mixed bag, but truthfully enough he didn't know how to control what he was feeling and now he was taking it out on the people he cared most about

"Daniel" Amanda began making Daniel sigh as he Immediately turned around

"I know what your going to say-"

Putting a hand up in defeat Amanda approached him calm and slowly

"It occurred to me that you may be bottling up unresolved tension and trauma. And that you may be diverging that energy into your work"

Giving his wife a beyond confused look, Daniel shook his head

"Ok scratch that I did NOT know what you were gonna say ? did you-"

"Yeah she was supposed to put it in her own words" Vanessa suddenly said as she popped her head into the office

"Yeahhh"

"Go ahead honey, you can do it"

Closing the door to the office Vanessa allowed the married couple to be alone as Amanda searched for the right words to use

"Look, I know things got out of control in Barcelona…..But maybe it's causing you to hold on a little too tight to control here" she said as she took a seat on desk

"Look I love having you at the dealership, but only if it's really you. And you've been going through a lot lately, From everything with Mr Miyagi to what happened at the tournament…..and I'm sure it's gonna get worse when Sam tells you she doesn't wanna go to UCLA"

Immediately Daniel's face scrunched

"Wait ? what ?"

"I'm sorry for the Band-Aid rip" Amanda Immediately apologized

"But we need to be able to support each other moving forward. And I just need you to know that I will always love you" Amanda said, standing up from the desk

"Karate, or no Karate"

Going in for a Hug, Amanda held her husband tight and truth be told

He really needed the hug

Letting out a sigh, Sam had tired her hair back as she was getting ready for bed

Entering into her room, Sam had gotten an eyeful of Robby looking at the pamphlets Counselor Blatt gave him

A small sigh escaped from his mouth when he dropped the pieces of paper before bringing his fingers to the brink of his nose

The sight only made Sam herself sigh

Not a good sign to have your fiance stressed out before your wedding

Continuing to pounder within his own thoughts Robby had soon felt two arms wrap around him followed with the weight of another body be pressed upon his back

Neither Sam or Robby said anything for a while, quite frankly words weren't something Robby really needed right now, having Sam's comfort was all he really needed right now and she knew that better than he did

Placing a soft kiss on the back off his neck, she hugged him from behind even harder

"We're gonna get through this ok" she cooed in reassurance

"Your not alone anymore"

Closing his eyes before sighing Robby nodded his head showing her understood

Their situation was less than ideal for sure

But they were together

So how bad could it be right

Tying around the broken Bonsai tree Daniel felt like this was supposed to be a metaphor for something

But before he could even try and find what for the sound of the front door knocking caught his attention

Opening the door, Daniel was honestly revealed to find it was Johnny as he let out a small sigh once he was face to face with the blonde

"Hey, I guess you heard about my little blow-up huh ?"

Looking at Daniel sternly. Johnny took a deep and serious breathe before speaking

"Do you trust me"

It wa such little words but they held so much weight

"That's a loaded question, but….." Daniel smiled

"Yeah, I do"

Knowing that was the answer he needed Johnny felt confident

"We're just gonna talk it out" he said as he stepped inside still confusing Daniel

"No pressure, no strings"

"What are you-"

Before Daniel could even finish his words he turned his head and Immediately had seen the one person he never thought he'd see again

Terry Fucking Silver

"This is a business meeting, plain and simple" Silver stated as he looked across the table at Johnny and Daniel

"And business only gets done by having hard conversations"

"Spares us the act" Daniel said

"You're not here hat in hand. You're playing an angle. You're just hoping you can hide it long enough to trip us up. We've played this game before"

Shaking his head SIlver opened his mouth and tried to laugh

"What is it you're afraid of ?" Silver asked the two

"I want the tournament back on. WIn or lose. Now I do expect it will be win. My team is that good, as you saw"

Daniel and Johnny rolled their eyes

"But I won't tip the scales. I'm here with full transparency at the mercy of your decision"

"Mercy ? huh" Daniel said obviously not taking him serious

"Ok….my proposition is this…..You pick the venue, You Pick the Refs. Everything. I will sign off, and I will cover the cost. No more games. Just closure"

Still Daniel didn't believe the old man

"You don't need this, seriously what is your angle ? What revenge ? is that still it"

Silver dropped his head in a sigh but Daniel still continued to press

"What the hell are you holding onto, Silver ?"

"My motives are the same as everyone who wants to see this through . Everyone on my team on YOUR team for the Senseis and the Kids"

With a laugh Daniel shook his head

"Bullshit"

"Seconded" Johnny agreed

Looking back and forth at the two men Silver had closed his mouth and pursed his lips before letting out a defeated sigh

"You wanna know why I need this" Silver asked finally peeking their attention

"Because it's the only thing I have left"

"Yeah" Daniel said obviously not believing him

"That and what five mansions-"

"No more Mansions, and No….Children. No…no wife…no real home. The only thing I can have now, is one last win"

"So savor every moment, Before it's gone"

Thinking on Silver's choice of words. Johnny had suddenly remembered Silver's little visit at the Hospital and to him it was like a bomb went off

"When I saw you at the Hospital…You're sick"

With a hand up to his face Silver shook his head with a laugh

"Sick is an understatement"

"Bullshit again" Daniel said but Johnny halted on his disprovement

"You can verify it on your own if you care to-"

"Look if you think you're gonna get sympathy out of us" Daniel said but Silver was quick to cut him off

"That's the last thing I want from anyone" Silver growled, the determination and anger in his voice proved to Daniel that this might not be a lie

"But you needed to know my angle, and now you do. Just know…..whatever decision you make. You make for everyone"

Silver's words were cold and deep, but it left the three men sitting there to just think on what needed to be done. And the silence between them all and shared looks just proved it

Figuring he overstayed his welcome, Silver pushed his chair out and shook his head

"I'll see myself out" he said before making his leave, leaving Johnny and Daniel to look at one another in heavy thought

"Silver may look like he's at peace with this situation, But the second something doesn't go his way, he's gonna be as dangerous as ever"

"We beat him before, we can beat him again" Johnny said confidently leaving Daniel to sigh and slump down in his chair

"The kids really want this, huh ?"

Johnny nodded his head

"They do. They all need it….The truth is, I think I want it most of all" Johnny admitted as Daniel looked down in thought

"I think it might actually need it….and maybe you do too, if you're being honest with yourself"

Letting out a small scoff Daniel shook his head not being able to believe that Johnny might actually be right

"But you said you trusted me…..Well I trust you too, so. If the decisions to move on" Johnny sighed, taking a deep breathe so that he could answer this like a man

"We'll move on"

Looking Johnny up and down Daniel knew the answer to this lied upon him. He was the deciding factor

And he chose….

Suddenly waking up in the midst of night Kreese had walked the dojang in it's darkness

He didn't know what possessed him to do the deed but what he found he wasn't ready for

With her hand coated in blood, Kreese found Sensei Kim Da-Eun walking from her Grandfather's hut. A face seen as if she had saw a ghost and a hand looking like it was dipped in red paint

Completely shocked and jaw dropped by the sight Kreese didn't know what to say

"Wh…..what did you do ?"

Looking down at her hand Sensei Kim soon balled it into a fist

"What I needed to" she said

"As you said, I will lead this dojang, But I will do it my way"

Wiping her hand off with a nearby towel Kim looked at Kreese with a nearly confident face

"And this will be the last time we will see each other John"

Nodding his head, Kreese was satisfied to know one person he trained turned out right

"I understand"

Taking a deep breath due to all the change happening Sensei Kim spoke

"But you still have time to be what you want to be. A good Sensei, a good person"

Thinking about her chosen words Kreese just shook his head

"I have been the bad guy for so long…..I don't think I'll be able to change that"

"Then what will you do ?"

Giving her question some thought Kreese took a deep breathe in thought

"Pack my bag for the last time and return to the tournament" He answered confidently

"I still have some unfinished business"

With hightail music playing and champine being popped, the Auto shop was filled with friends and family alike

Everyone held different conversations and for the first time since Barcelona it felt so weird that everyone happened to be under the same roof together

There was so much people that Robby and Sam started to feel overwhelmed by everyone there, felt like less of a rehearsal and more of a get together with them being the main attractions

"I'm so happy for you two, young love is a special thing" an old woman said to Robby and Sam making them smile

With an arm around her waist people truly couldn't get enough of them together

Taking a sip of his glass the women had continued

"And you two have such beautiful eyes, the baby's eyes will sparkle like diamonds !" she beamed Immediately making Robby start to cough

Aggressively coughing due to him choking on his drink, Sam needed to pat his back to fully help him

"Sorry, sorry….just….caught off guard that's all" he said leaving Sam to awkwardly chuckle

Looking at the Rehearsal being a success, Daniel felt a sense of pride within him. That maybe embracing the future wasn't a bad thing, and more so something to look forward too

Walking in front of everyone. Daniel clinked his glass getting everyone's attention as the music died down

"Everyone, Hi I just want to thank you all. For being here tonight" Daniel smiled

"Well almost everyone" Demetri whispered to Miguel as soon enough the duo looked around trying to find Hawk and Tory but to no prevail

"We are so lucky to be surrounded by friends and family for this….Special Day"

All eyes gravitated towards Robby and Sam only making them smile more

"And with this Family….well this soon to be family" Daniel grinned towards the soon to be's

"Our road here was rocky, and unclear. None of us knew we'd get to the point where we are now. But now we're stronger than ever, Now. We love and support each other no matter what, Both Diaz, LaRusso and….Lawrence alike" he said leaving everyone in that said family to look at each other with smiles on their faces

"Robby, Sam" Daniel looked at the two

"I'm forever grateful that you two found each other. You support one another and have each other's backs like no other. You two share a love that people search their entire lives to find. And I think I speak for everyone when I say that we wish you the best of luck and the brightest of futures" Daniel such much to everyone's agreement as they joined him in raising their glasses

"To Robby and Sam !" Daniel cheered

"To Robby and Sam !" Everyone else followed before clicking glasses. Both Robby and Sam doing the same before they poured each other's glasses down their mouths

Clinking his glass with Amanda's Daniel had drinking his Champagne

"One hell of a Shindig Mr Party Planner" Amanda said making Daniel laugh

"So what you got in store for the real thing"

Immediately laughing, Daniel shook his head

"Oh that's Johnny's job. I tap out on anything wedding related for the foreseeable future" he said now making Amanda laugh

"So did you guys ever figure out a name ?" Moon asked

"I too also have that question ? You know studies show that Men taking a women's first name can jeopardize they marriage by 35% right" Demetri said

"SEE !" Anoush had yelled in the background making the teens turn

With a laugh Robby and Sam looked at one another

"I think….we still need to give it some time. No need to rush the name change yet" Sam said much to Robby's agreement

"Yeah, LaRusso, Keene, Lawrence, no matter what. We'll share the name together" Robby said as he laced his hand with Sam's gaining her eyes

"And most importantly we'll be together" he said leaving Sam to fail in hiding her emotional smile

"Till death do us part" she said as she held up her ring making him smile before soon enough the two had kissed leaving Demetri, Miguel and Moon to watch with smiles on their faces

"Aww you guys are so cute it hurts !" Moon beamed happily

The moment was sadly cut short when the sound of Moon's phone being rung got her attention

And when she pulled it out Immediately her face scrunched

"It's from Yasmine ?"

Immediately Demetri groaned

"Probably a hate text about me, my infrastructure can't take anymore Moon, please I've already sent enough apologies"

"I don't think it's that" Miguel said as he looked at the video over his girlfriend's shoulder

With raised eyebrows everyone soon crowded around Moon as she clicked the video to find Zara

"What's up ! My Karate Squad ! just got news. That the Sekai Taikai is back on ! The Iron Dragons are Back ! and Ya Girl is coming for her crown once more ! See you later !"

Ending the video with a blown kiss. Miguel, Sam and Robby had Immediately looked at one another. All wanting the same answer

Sipping his glass Daniel had soon enough been caught off guard

"Dad" Sam said getting his attention once he saw Sam, Robby and Miguel approach him

"Is it true ? is the Tournament back on ?"

Looking at Daniel for answers as well Johnny had awaited his response

And with a headnod and and a grin Daniel took a deep breathe before looking back at the teens

"It's true" he confirmed lighting their faces up

"If that's what you all want"

Sharing a look at one another the trio had soon smirked and nodded to one another before soon enough Sam looked at Daniel with a smirk

"Bring 'em on"

Watching the Plane land before him, Terry Silver held a smile on his face as he watched the door open

Seeing the final piece of the puzzle unfold left a satisfying feeling within him, this being the last part to fully finish this story

Walking down the steps of the Plane, Silver's smile only grew more as he'd seen his plan in front of his eyes

"Yoon Do-Jin" Silver said getting the Boy's attention as he took off his headphones

"Welcome to the Valley"
