"Okay miss Robinson let's see what you got." Johnny said. Miguel and Aisha standing across from each other. "Face me, bow. Face each other, bow." The two did as instructed before Miguel looked over at Johnny. "I don't think this is right." He said in a low voice. "What?" Johnny asked, looking at him. "She's a girl."
"And? You said women were equal to men." Johnny said. "I did say that but not like that." Miguel tried to tell him. "Okay then show her women are equal and give her everything you got." Johnny said, hands on his hips. "Wait I just want to remind everyone it's my first day." Aisha said. Johnny looked over at her. "Your enemies don't care what day it is. You just have to conquer your fear and jump face first into the fire." He told her intent on his stern voice.

"Are you ready miss Robinson?" He asked. "I guess." She replied looking back over at Miguel, "Mister Diaz." Johnny looked at the boy, Miguel looked at him. "Fight!" Johnny declared.  Miguel just looked at him. "Don't just stand there. Fight!" Miguel looked back at Aisha, getting into a stance. "I'm sorry." He told her, a confused expression crossing her face. He lunged forward with a kick to her stomach, sending the girl to the ground. "Oh my God I'm so sorry, Aisha are you okay? come." Miguel said with a worried look on his face as the girl propped herself up on her elbow. She moved quickly and picked him up before body slamming him to the ground and dropping a knee into his stomach. Miguel groaned in pain. Johnny looked impressed. "Girls a natural cobra." Voices could be heard outside, catching Johnny's attention. "Okay dudes stay here.  Diaz your in charge." Aisha helped Miguel up as Johnny walked out.

Robby was sitting on the couch in total darkness, looking up cobra kai's website. His mom and her nightly guy walked in. "Okay be quiet," She whispered. "You be quiet." He replied, in a joking tone. She laughed. "Okay boss man. I like how you take charge." She giggled as they got closer to the bedroom. "But we got to be quite, my son's home.' They closed the door it wasn't long till you heard her girl again. Robby pulled on headphones and started listening to rock music.

Miguel, Demetri and Eli were walking into the cafeteria, holding their trays of food. "Hey guys!" Kyler said loudly, everyone looking over at him and his friends and Sam. He brought up the billboard of Larusso's auto. "Guess Sam takes after her dad." He said with a smirk. Sam looked furious. "Hey Kyler why don't you shut the hell up and stop being a asshole?" Miguel said as he walked up after putting his food on a table. Kyler looked at the shorter boy. "You want another round Rhea?" He asked shoving Miguel. "I'm ready for your lame ass karate this time," He shoved him again, this time Miguel's back hitting the table. He stood back up and looked at Kyler. "It isn't lame ass karate." He said, Kyler went to shove him but Miguel caught his arm, locking it up. 'It's Cobra Kai." Miguel said as he punched Kyler in the nose, sending him backwards. Kyler reached up, blood coming from his nose. Kyler moved quickly and grabbed him, slamming him against the table before putting him in a headlock. Miguel elbowed him in the ribs before getting our of his hold and punching him in the face. "No mercy!" Aisha called.

Miguel turned right as Kyler's red head friend went to punch him. He ducked down, sweeping his leg before roundhouse kicking another guy in the face. He was fighting the other two now. The red head got back up and joined the frey. Everyone was gathered in a circle, recording the fight. Kyler got back up and Miguel moved to the table, crouching. Kyler rushed him but Miguel kicked him in the chest before hitting him in the side of the head with a tray. Everyone clapped and cheered, a smile on Sam's face. He was then take to the principal's office.

Miguel went to the dojo to tell Johnny what happened. "All four if them? Even the big dumb one?" He asked with disbelief. "Yeah. Everything happened so fast and everything just seemed to come together." He was smiling brightly. Johnny sighed. "Your mom's going to kill both of us." Miguel shrugged. "If she knew. When the school called my ya-ya answered, I've never seen her look so proud. She won't talk." Johnny stood up from the desk. "So let me get this straight. You took those lessons I thought you and used then to straight up beat the shit out of those punks." Miguel hung his head down then  looked back up. "Well yeah." Johnny just looked at him. "Follow me."

Johnny lead Miguel out to his car, popping the trunk. Inside was Johnny's Cobra Kai gi. "I wore this when I was training for my first tournament back in '81. I want you to have it." Miguel looked at him with shock as Johnny reached in a grabbed the gi. "Are you sure?" Miguel asked as it was placed in his hands. "Hell yeah. You earned it." Johnny held out his hand. Miguel smiled as he took his hand and shook it. Johnny closed the trunk. "That's it that's the best thing I got." He told him. "Thanks Sensei.' Miguel smiled, pulling him into a hug. Johnny hugged back, patting the boy's back some. Robby looked at the two from the side of the building. He remained there a second before walking away.

Johnny pulled up to the dojo, a line of people standing outside. "Looks like we're in business." Johnny told Miguel with a half smile as he unlocked the doors.

Robby was sitting in Amanda's office looking for a job. "Welcome to the Larusso family." She smiled, shaking the boys hand.
