THE kids opened the door slightly, peeking out.
"Your dad is pissed. Who is that guy?" Miguel asked Sam.
"I have no idea." Sam replied.
"He looks like a Highlander."
"The Highlander. There can only be one."
They were silent again and continued watching until Daniel told them to leave and the kids closed the door again.
"I don't like this." Lucia shook her head. "I don't trust this guy."
"Well, yeah, obviously. He's working with the king of all assholes." Demetri replied.
Lucia sighed and peeled out the door again, Daniel and Johnny stunned.
This was not a good sign.

"Vietnam vet turned business man. Had a few ups and downs, but still turned out pretty rich. Not much dirt other than some toxic waste scandal in Borneo back in the 80's." Demetri read about Terry Silver.
"Jeez, sounds like a Renaissance man. How'd you even find out his name?" Hawk asked.
"I took a picture at the dojo—."
"You took a picture of him? That's kinda creepy." Lucia said.
"He's creepy. Now can I finish?"
"Fine, fine. Go ahead."
"I found an old facial recognition beta test and tweaked the cod to make it compatible with HEIC." Demetri finished.
"I love when you talk nerdy."
Lucia turned to see Yasmine and Moon.
"Moony." Lucia smiled.
"Hi, sweetheart." Moon smiled back.
They shared a passionate kiss which turned into a make out session while Demetri and Yasmine were talking.
Hawk swallowed awkwardly, staring at Moon and Lucia as they made out.
Lucia pulled away and Moon smiled at her.
"What're you doing later?" Moon whispered.
"Going to get tattoos with Hawk."
"Oh. Because I was thinking we could—."
"I mean, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe after we get out tattoos—."
"I could come over." Moon smirked.
"Unless Lucas and my dad are home, then no, but yeah."
"Okay. Yay."
The shared another kiss before Moon and Yasmine said their goodbyes and walked away.
They both watched their girlfriends go before looking to Hawk.
"We need to find you someone." Lucia said.
"Me? No, I'm good."
Demetri went towards the stairs and started going up.
"Where is he going?"
"Away from your bullshit." Lucia replied.
She began walking up the stairs too.
"What? What bullshit?" Hawk followed her.
When they got upstairs, they spotted Miguel and Sam and Miguel walked over to them.
"Yo. You guys won't believe this. Sensei got drunk and went on a Twitter rant." Miguel said before handing Demetri the phone.
"I believe everything except for the part where he knows how to tweet." Demetri said.
The three best friends looked down at the phone.
IT'S ON: LAWRENCE-LARUSSO REMATCH! hashbrown dead meat
It's time for the Valley to see what karate is all about!
Tomorrow night, Eagles reign supreme!
"What the actual hell?" Lucia squinted. "I didn't get a notification for that!"
Demetri gave her a look.
"Looks like he and Sensei LaRusso are gonna have a rematch."
"Wait, so, they're really gonna fight?" Hawk asked.
"Apparently. Should've seen this coming." Sam answered.
"Who does he even think he's tweeting to? You and Lucia are his only followers." Demetri asked.
"I don't know. H-He seems serious about it."
"So this is real? Sensei and Sensei are gonna throw down? Thanks awesome!" Hawk smiled.
Demetri shook his head at Hawk and Lucia put her face in her hands.
"You love being an idiot don't you?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Come on, boys. Let's go to my locker. We'll see you two later.
Demetri, Hawk, and Lucia parted ways with Sam and Miguel and went to Lucia's locker.
"You're not coming to watch the fight after our tattoos?" Hawk asked.
"No. I'm going with Moon." Lucia smiled.
"What're you guys gonna do?" Demetri asked.
Lucia and Hawk both stared at him.
"You guys are back together?" Demetri asked.
Lucia and Hawk continued to stare at him.
"Right. Stupid question. Well, you better get this scissors out!" Demetri joked.
The two continued to stare at him.
"That—That wasn't funny. I'm gonna...I'm gonna go."
Lucia smiled and shook her head as Demetri walked away.
"What're you thinking for a tattoo?" Hawk asked.
"Well, I have the butterflies, I have the one for Moon, and I have the arrow, so I don't know. Maybe I'll do a small eagle behind my ear. Or I'll do a rose underneath my forearm or..." Lucia trailed off.
"Or what?" Hawk asked.
Lucia closed her locker.
"I gotta make a phone call. I'll see you later!"
"What?"
She jogged away and called her dad.
"Dad?"
"Is everything okay, Cia?" He asked.
"Do you have something of your signature I can borrow?" Lucia asked.
"My signature? Why would you need something with my signature?" Zach questioned.
"Just...Do you have it yes or no?" Lucia asked.
"Um, I don't currently have anything, but I could write it down on a piece of paper." He offered.
"Yes! Yes, do that and I'll pick it up after school!" Lucia exclaimed.
"Lucia, why—."
"Bye, Dad, love you!"
Lucia hung up and the bell rang, so she skipped off to class.
🌈
"Hey, I'm here, but I Hawk's outside waiting for me, so I have to be quick. Are you here, Dad?" Lucia called.
Zachary appeared in the kitchen.
"Dad! Please tell me you have the signature."
"Yes." Zach picked up a piece of paper from the counter. "It's right here, but what do you need this for?"
Lucia plucked it out of his hands. "It's a surprise! Bye!"
She ran out of the house and back in Hawk's car.
"Did he suspect anything?" Hawk asked.
"He knows up to something, but he has know idea I'm getting this tattooed." Lucia replied with a smirk.
🌈
Lucia was staring at her new tattoo on her previously bare underside of her arm. It was her father's signature. She couldn't be more happy.
They were still at the parlor waiting for Rico to finish up with Hawk.
Lucia began texting Moon, the two girls texting dirty things to each other.
The door opened up and Lucia looked up.
"Hey, Rico, you good?" Hawk called.
When Lucia saw who it was, she jumped up and ran over to Hawk.
"You have to get up. Now."
"Why?"
He looked up to see the Cobra Kai's standing before them.
Hawk kicked the table out, one of them getting hit and stomping on Hawk's phone.
They started attacking and Lucia and Hawk tried fighting them off, until they both got grabbed and pulled down.
Lucia looked up at saw Tory standing over her and Robby standing over Hawk.
"You assholes just ignoring the no-fighting rules?" Hawk asked.
"Oh, we're not here to fight." Robby said.
Tory showed a pair of scissors what were in her hands and she sung them around.
Lucia swallowed. "You wouldn't."
"Sorry. Lucy." Tory smirked.
"You're gonna hurt me. Again?"
Tory felt a pang of guilt and it showed on her face, but it hardened again when Robby came back over with a razor.
🌈
Lucia and Hawk arrived at the dojo. Lucia had been sobbing the and Hawk had been crying here and there.
"Hawk? Lucia?" Miguel said.
"Shit, guys, what happened?" Demetri asked.
They pulled down their hoods to reveal that Hawk's mohawk was gone and only two strands of purple was left and Lucia's hair was cut all choppy and uneven, leaving her hair down to just above her shoulders.
Johnny went through the crowd of his students.
"Who did this?"
"Tory, you don't have to do this." Lucia shook her head.
Tory hit her upside the head. "Shut up, Lucia!"
Tory grabbed a fistful of her hair and started chopping.
Lucia started wiggling around and Tory kneed her in the leg.
"Why are you doing this? Why do you keep hurting me?"
Tory stopped chopping and stared at Lucia, a clump of hair still in her hand.
Robby looked over. "What're you doing keep going."
"Sorry, Lucy. No mercy."
Tory kept chopping and Lucia continued crying.
"Cobra Kai." Hawk answered, snapping Lucia out of her thoughts.
Lucia was too stunned to say anything. Demetri walked over to her and gave her a side hug.
"Kreese and Silver did this. They need to pay." Johnny said and Lucia and Hawk put their hoods back up.
"Jesus, Johnny, please. Kreese tried to kill you last time. What, you wanna fight them both?" Daniel raised his eyebrows.
"Damn right I do. Look was they did." Johnny pointed to Hawk and Lucia.
"Dousing the fire with gasoline, that's your answer? Why and I not surprised."
"Sensei, stop." Miguel said to Johnny.
"You still think your way is the only way. You were so proud when they pulled their little sprinkler prank the other day. But if they stood their ground and kicked some ass like I taught them, this never would've happened."
"And if they fight every time they're provoked, where does that lead? Back to the hospital? Or to jail? Come on, just 'cause you spent time in both—."
"Enough, dad." Sam interrupted. "Johnny's right. It doesn't matter how many times we stand up to Cobra Kai, if we don't strike back, they're gonna keep coming at us."
Daniel looked at Johnny angrily. "And you were worried about my influence on your kids? Is this what you want, Johnny? To have my daughter and the rest of my students acting like you?"
"You don't have to worry about it anymore. 'Cause we're done."
"Works for me."
"Eagle Fangs, let's go."
Lucia looked up at Demetri and gave him one finally hug.
"Bye."
"Bye, Cia."
Lucia turned and linked arms with Hawk, resting her head on his shoulder before the Eagle-Fangs all walked away.
🌈
Lucia arrived home and closed the door behind her.
She looked up to see Moon sitting at the kitchen table.
"Lucia." Moon stood up. "I've been trying to call and text you, but you haven't answered. Your dad, let me in."
Lucia stepped closer to Moon and Moon saw that she had been crying.
"Wh-What happened? Why are you crying?" Moon asked.
Lucia took off the hood of her blue wind breaker and Moon's heart sunk.
"Did Tory do this?" Moon asked.
Lucia nodded and started crying again.
Moon wrapped her into a hug and Lucia cried into her chest.
Why did Tory have to be so cruel?
