Everyone was doing burpees as Jack ha a pissed off face as just a few minutes ago his ex-girlfriend dumped him, so he really didn't want to be here
Johnny: This can all be over in an instant. The decision's yours! Who trashed the Miyagi dojo?
Jack looked straight at Hawk who seemed tense any time the topic was brought up
Johnny: You all know I'm not a fan of LaRusso's, but that sort of bullshit we don't teach in here
Johnny walked up front and looked straight at Kreese while he continued and spoke
Johnny: At least not anymore. So, I'm gonna ask you again. Who trashed Miyagi-do?
Chubbs stopped and spoke while panting heavily
Chubbs: Well, it's not me, Sensei---
Jack: SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Everyone looked at Jack worried at his sudden outburst
Johnny: Why'd you stop? Nobody told you to stop. Keep on going!
Suddenly Johnny's phone started ringing from in his office and he looked at his students
Johnny: Keep going. We can do this all day!
He walked into his office and Mitch walked over to Kreese
Mitch: Sensei, we need a water break
Kreese looked around the room
Kreese: Two-minute break!
Jack looked at Hawk and walked over to him right before he could walk over to Kreese
Jack: You know something, I don't?
Hawk: I-I don't know what you're talking about, man.
He tried walking away, but Jack grabbed him by his arm spinning him, so they stood face to face and jabbed a finger to his chest
Jack: Don't fucking lie to me, Eli. You can lie to everyone else but not to me, so fess up before I do something that makes you regret not telling me the truth.
Hawk looked at him scared and Jack chuckled a little
Jack: Now you better start talking before I do something that's going to hurt you more than its going to hurt me
Johnny walked out of the office and stood next to Kreese and looked at him
Johnny: I got to go deal with something. Can you man the fort?
Kreese: Of course
Johnny: I want you to figure out who did it. Do what you gotta do.
Kreese: Don't worry. I will
Johnny walked into the back and Kreese smirked a little
~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone stood in the back while some rested Jack stood next to Tory doing battle ropes panting panting heavily and kreese walked around the room hands on the hem of karate Gi
Kreese: Keep going. I have all day
Chubbs: You think it's OK if I puke in here?
Aisha: No
Chubbs: Navy SEALs puke all the time.
Jack: Yeah, but Navy SEALs don't get their asses kicked to a bloody mess by a teenager, now do they?
Chubbs: I'll just hold it in
Miguel looked at Jack and Tory
Miguel: He's not gonna let up. We gotta figure out who did it
Tory: I bet it was shit-breath
Mitch: Hey, screw you.
Tory: What'd you say?
Mitch: Wanna do this right now
Right before a fight could break out between the two Jack stepped in and punched Mitch across the face sending to the ground and everyone rushed to push him back
Kreese: Stop! Would you really like to know who did it?
Everyone looked at Kreese except for Jack who looked straight at Hawk
Kreese: It was Hawk
Everyone looked at Hawk and Jack started walking towards him but stopped in his tracks when he heard
Kreese: And it was Lawrence. And Diaz. And Nichols, Robinson, Chubs, Red. When one of you makes a move, you all make a move. You live and you die with the consequences and the spoils. Because you are all Cobra kai.
Everyone looked at each other and Kreese continued
Kreese: Main dojo, five minutes. You're about to begin your real training
~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone sat circled around the mat while Jack stood across from Mitch in his fighting stance and cracked his neck
Kreese: Combat! Aits!
They started circling each other before Mitch tried going for a kick and Jack dodged it and dodged another before he threw a kick of his own sending Mitch to the ground
Miguel: Point
Jack stood there and looked at Kreese
Kreese: Hit him again.
Mitch looked at Jack and shook his head
Kreese: Do you have a problem with that?
Jack: No, Sensei.
Right as Kreese went to talk Jack ran towards Mitch aiming to kick his head but stopped when Miguel stepped forward
Miguel: Wait! This isn't what Sensei Lawrence has been teaching us.
Kreese: Excuse me?
Miguel: There's no honor in being merciless. Jack scored a point. It's over.
Jack chuckled and Kreese smiled a bit before walking over to Miguel
Kreese: Sensei Lawrence is right of course. In a tournament the fighting stops when you land a point. But in the real world, it's not about scoring points. It's about being a winner or a loser. And there are no losers in this dojo
Jack looked at Kreese before looking back to the kneeling Mitch and ran up to him punting him in the head
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack stood at the back in front of a punching bag, punching away letting out his anger while Tory stood at the door watching him go while he transitioned to kicks, she grabbed the kicking pads by the door
Tory: You playing footsie or practicing your roundhouse?
Jack smiled and she walked to hand him the pads before he pulled her close by the waist and kissed her and she smiled into the kiss, kissibg him back before they separated and she smiled handing him the kicking pads
Tory: Let me show you how it's done.
Jack: OK.
He stood still while she started kicking at the kicking pads after a few kicks she stopped and looked at him
Jack: Today's lesson was crazy, huh?
Tory: Not that crazy except for the part where you almost kicked penis-breath's head off
Jack: Well, I needed a way to release some of my anger before I exploded
They went back to kicking before she stopped
Jack: Don't you think that what Sensei Kreese told us about... feels wrong somehow? That life is only about winning?
Tory looked to be contemplating something before she started talking
Tory: My mom used to work at this restaurant when I was little. And she'd bring home leftovers, so my brother and I had enough to eat. When her manager found out... he fired her. No warning. No notice. Nothing. He said it was against company policy. And she... she wasn't stealing. The food was gonna end up in the trash anyway. The world shows no mercy. Why should we? Some people have it good, but the rest of us, we have to fight for every inch of what's ours. Not just to score a point. For everything
Jack: Yeah
Tory: Hands up
He put his hands up and they went back to practicing
~~~~~~~~~
The Next day everyone stood on the mat while at the front Kreese stood in front of them arms cross
Kreese: You have learnt what Cobra Kai is about. Cobra Kai is not just a dojo. Cobra Kai is your life. So with that there is one thing and that is. Cobra Kai... never dies.
