I was out on a table as the physical therapist stretched my legs right as dad walked through the door and saw the therapist
Johnny: Sorry, I thought you said you'd be alone at 10:00
Jack: Sorry, mom gets free physical therapy from work since she transferred from Long---
I stopped talking when I saw Miguel walk in and I just glared at him and looked towards dad who looked nervous for some reason
Jack: What the fuck is he doing here?
I looked at the therapist and glared at him and he stopped and I shifted so I was sitting on the edge of the massage table my legs dangling lifelessly and that just made me more angry and I glared down to them
Miguel: Look, Jack I'm sorry--
Jack: Kiss my ass! I don't need your sympathy man so you better get the fuck out of here before I do something to you...
Evelyn: *Softly* Jackie...
I looked behind me and saw mom covering her mouth with her hand tears on the brim of falling and she pointed to my legs and I looked down and I was shocked before I smiled, I was standing on my own without anyone's help and I looked at Johnny and chuckled tried walking towards him and when I took a step towards him and I fell flat on my face
Evelyn: Jackie!
She rushed and helped me up with dad and Miguel's help
Jack: *Sighs* Too good to be true...

Robby sat across from Kreese in the visiting room
Kreese: Let me tell you about your dad. He was always a scrapper. But the moment I knew he was the real deal was his first All Valley tournament. He made the quarters, but he drew a kid named Vidal. Now Vidal was a third generational black belt. Very skilled. Way beyond Johnny, at the time. Your old man lost. *Leans in* But he didn't make it easy. And I saw that look in his eyes that he will never let that happen again.
Robby: *Nods* Cool story, try telling it to someone who actually gives a shit about him, hmm?
Kreese: *Laughs* You're his son, all right.
Robby: Yeah and look where that got me.
Kreese: *Scoffs* Come on, kid. You know you don't deserve to be here. From what I heard you tried to break up the fight and... Your brother attacked you. Sure you can keep beating yourself up for what went down. But by the look of your face, there's plenty of people happy to do it for you.
Robby: *Sighs* You're wasting your time, old man. The last thing I need is another sensei.
Kreese: Fair enough.
He stands up before leaning in towards Robby and whispered something
Kreese: I don't think there's anything I could teach right now anyway. Except maybe this... You see all that Miyagi-do mumbo jumbo... that might score you points in a tournament. But now you're in the real world, kid, you might wanna learn to strike first. I know your brother would want you too.

Jack sat in his wheelchair as the therapist threw his bag in the back seat and closed the trunk before he walked back to him
Brayden: Great job today, Jefe. You crushed it.
Jack: *Chuckles* Really? It didn't feel like I did much of anything.
Brayden: Hey, no negative thoughts. Just positive energy and thoughts.
Jack: I'll, uh, keep that in mind.
He turned around and started wheeling back to the apartment before a magazine came down in front of him and looked up to see Johnny standing upstairs holding a fishing pole which was hooked to the magazine and sighed already knowing where this was going
Jack: What's this?
Johnny: This is a collection of the tastiest babes of 1998. And you're not gonna get to see 'em unless you grab it.
Jack: So, basically pictures of people's grandmas? Hard pass on that.
Johnny: Just grab the damn magazine.
He sighed again and tried grabbing it weakly and Johnny pulled it up and out of his reach
Johnny: You're gonna have to try harder than that.
Jack: You know if I wanted to see pictures of milfs in bikinis, there's something called the internet, right?
Johnny: It's not the same. Chicks are hotter on the page. But you won't know unless you get off your butt or you can just keep getting foot rubs from that pansy ass therapist.
Jack smiled a little nodding his head before he tried grabbing it again before Johnny pulled it up again and again.
Johnny: Weak! That all you got, Lawrence? I thought you were the All Valley champ?
Jack: This just looks like you're making fun of a handicapped person, dude.
He sighed before he tried standing up and lightly touched the magazine before Johnny pulled it from his reach and Jack fell to the ground hard
Johnny: Damn it.
He dropped the fishing pole and rushed down the stairs and came up to Jack who sat on the ground and he groaned moving towards his wheelchair before Johnny helped him up
Johnny: All right, I got you bud. Here we go.
Johnny knelt down besides him
Johnny: All right, gimme a minute, we'll go again. I think I still have my Vanna White Playboy. That'll get you going.
Jack: Don't you get it? You could dangle Tory, I still wouldn't be able to stand up. And besides shouldn't you be training, Miguel? Go train your golden child.
He wheeled himself away leaving Johnny alone and got inside the apartment and slammed the door shut.

Robby sat at one of the computers and searched up Kreese and clicked on an article about his dojo and read through it interested before he came across another article about Daniel and Mr. Miyagi and sighed angrily before going to his emails and looked at one of them which was from Sam
He started typing before he could click on send the computer shut down and he looked to his side to see Shawn
Shawn: Whoops. I hope you didn't lose anything important.
Robby stood up fed up with Shawn bugging him
Robby: Why won't you just leave me alone, man?
Shawn: That ain't never gonna happen. You'll always be looking over your shoulder.
Guards: Break time's up, shitbirds. Back to your bunks.
Robby started walking towards the door
Shawn: You got lucky this time, bitch.
He looked back at him and Shawn smirked
Guard: Let's go.
He walked out the door leaving a smirking Shawn who walked out as well looking at the guard
Guard: What're you looking at? Move!

Hawk and a bunch of Cobras ran through the arcade messing with kids before he got to a girl who was busy playing one of the games and snatched her tickets while she wasn't looking
Hawk: Thank you!
Chris handed a prize to a family
Chris: Here you go, come back soon to Golf N Stuff.
Hawk and the others walked up and he slammed the tickets on the counter smirking as he looked at Chris.
Hawk: Hey, buddy.
Mitch: Hey, prize wench.
Chris: What do you guys want?
Hawk: To spend our hard-earned tickets, of course. Why don't you be a good girl and grab us one of those bobbleheads?
Chris sighed walking towards the prizes and Hawk patted Mitch on the chest before jumping over the counter and started grabbing prizes and threw them to others while Chris tried to stop him before he jumped over and ran away with others
Mitch: Thanks, Chris. Tell your mom I miss her.
Hawk: Yeah and tell her to stop calling me.
He sighed taking out his phone

While over at the LaRusso house, Amy laid on her bed looking up to the ceiling before her phone chimed and she picked it up reading the text Chris sent her and she got up texting him back and walked out her room towards Sam's and barged in
Miguel jumping up from Sam and they looked at her
Amy: Let's go, lovebirds.
Miguel: Where to exactly?
Amy: Stop asking questions, I'll explain on the way.

Meanwhile back at the apartments Jack sat in his wheelchair drinking a beer while fired up the grill
Johnny: You know why they call this a hibachi?
Jack: *Chuckles* They don't. It's a kettle grill
Johnny: Hundred years ago in ancient China, there was tiny little village of dairy farmers, living fat off their milk and cheese. Then when the drought came they needed to get water from the river. None of the Chinamen wanted to do their work
Jack: That's not the appropriate term to use.
Johnny: China people, whatever. The point is, they were laying around in hammocks waiting for the rain. So a wise man gathered up a bunch of twigs, and stuffed it under each of the villagers while they slept. You know what he did next?
Jack: Lit a fire under them?
Johnny: Exactly. That's where the expression comes from.
He knelt down next to him secretly lighting a fire under him
Johnny: You know what that wise man's name was?
Jack: Hibachi?
Johnny: Damn straight.
Jack: Yeah *Takes a sip from his beer bottle* Except that hibachis are from Japan, and not China, where there weren't a lot of dairy farmers, historically, or any hammocks at all. You think I was gonna fall for that?
Johnny: No, but I knew you'd be to busy too calling my bullshit to know what I was up to.
Jack: Oh yeah? And what's that?
Johnny: Lighting a fire under you.
Jack: What did you do!
He showed him the lighter and lighting and Jack looked down to see one of his shoe laces on fire building up towards his shoe and right before he could put it out with his beer Johnny got him in a full nelson trapping his arms
Jack: Are you insane?!
Johnny: Depends who you ask. Come on, Jack! Shake a leg.
Jack: I can't!
Johnny: You can if you want it bad enough.
Jack: It's all I want!
Johnny: Then focus! Tell your brain to tell your brain to start moving their asses! Come on!
Jack: Ok.*Inhales sharply* Come on!
Johnny: Oh shit!
He started breathing heavily as the fire reached his leg
Jack: Dad, it going up my leg!
Johnny rushed and picked up the fire extinguisher and sprayed the fire and Jack sighed a little and Johnny looked disappointed that his plan didn't work out the way he wanted it to.
Johnny: I really thought would work.
Jack: Why didn't it? My foot was on fire and I didn't feel a thing. Why is nothing working? *Sighs* I-It's fine I should probably clean up before mom gets home. *Wheels away* See ya.

Johnny sat at his dinner table listing ways he could help his son walk again before he teared the paper up and grabbed his laptop and started searching online for how to make legs work again before he stopped when he heard someone and looked out the window and saw Evelyn sobbing outside his apartment and sighed before he walked out
Johnny: Everything OK?
Evelyn: It's...
Johnny: Something with Jack?
Evelyn: Sometimes, I have these feelings. That I don't want him to see.
Johnny: *Nods* He's gonna get better, you know. He'll walk again.
Evelyn: I hope so. For now, I'd just like to see him smile again. He's 7 years old. He should be... out, carefree, having fun. Not... *Sniffles*
Johnny: Yeah. It's gonna be OK.
Evelyn: I-I should go back in. Good night, Johnny.
Johnny: Wait. Can I borrow him for few hours?

Sam, Amy, Demetri and Miguel walked into the arcade followed by a few of the other Miyagi-dos
Amy: Where are they?
Chris: They snuck into the old laser tag place, next door.
Sam: How many?
Chris: Four of 'em.
Miguel: Six of us. I like our odds.
Demetri: Are you guys sure we should be doing this?
Amy: We're not on school property, meat. This our chance to fight back.
They all nodded before rushing towards the old laser tag place
Meanwhile at the laser tag arena Hawk kicked a fluffy to the ground and the cheered
Mikey: Nice one.
Mitch picked up his bag and opened
Mitch: Alright. Who's for a warm one?
Hawk: Who the hell wants a warm beer? You didn't bring an ice pack?
Mitch shook his head just as the power went out the place being lit up only by the neon paint on the walls and rocks and the Cobras looked around confused before they saw the Miyagi-dos walk in and Hawk scoffed looking directly at Amy who stood up front
Hawk: What the hell do you want?
Amy: Payback.

(Play the song now or don't its up to you)
Robby walked into the break room hands in his pockets before he stopped in front of Shawn who looked at him arms stretched out mocking him
Shawn: What's up?
He walked away
Shawn: He doesn't want that.
Boy: Nah
Boy#2: Man
They went back to talking about something else and Robby looked back before rushing over and kicked Shawn square in the face sending him to the ground and he blocked a hit from goon 1 before elbowing him in the chest and kicked the second goon who got on the table flipping and the kid hit the table before falling to the ground right before Shawn tackled him out the break room
And started laying in punch after punch before Robby kicked him off him and stood up tackling him to the ground and started kneeing him in the side before Shawn got up picking him up in the process and slammed them both in the opposite wall while the other youths cheered them on and a group of guards walked over separating them from each other
Robby smirked at him before breaking free from the two guards who held him and rushed over just as Shawn broke free of the other two as well and they resumed their fight throughout the hallway both landing hit after hit trying to take the other down with everything they've got
||||||
Back at the arcade Hawk watched as the Miyagi-dos tag teamed the other three leaving only Hawk and Amy and Hawk went for a spinning fist but she caught his arm and hit him in the side before she kicked Mikey in chest winding him and flipped Hawk to the ground
Meanwhile Demetri ducked in a corner as Frank (Don't know the kid with the long hair's name so we're gonna call him Frank but if you do feel free to let me know what it is) dropped a Miyagi-do to the ground with a side-kick and he looked at Demetri before Miguel tackled him away
Scene switches to Mitch coming up behind Chris shoving him forward who elbowed him in retaliation and leg swept him to the ground before looking at him
Chris: That was for my mom
Scene changes to Shawn shoving Robby into the wall behind them and body jabbed him twice before Robby kicked off the wall landing a punch stunning Shawn for a moment and he shook his head looking at the Keene boy and tried to punch him and Robby dodged moving back to the wall and kicked off it again this time kicking him square in the chest sending him into the opposite wall and Robby turned and elbowed him in the face twice before turning around to face him and Shawn grabbed trying to tackle him to the ground but Robby switched it around to him taking down with a headlock and started laying shot after shot before he was pulled off him once again by the guards
Back to the fight at the laser tag arena Amy took down a Cobra Kai before Miguel stomped him on the chest and she got down on one looking to land the final blow before she stopped when she heard the voice that made her freeze in fear
Tory: Amy LaRusso...
She looked up and Tory looked around
Tory: Where are you, bitch?
The fight resumed but this time Cobra Kai had the advantage as both Sam and Amy's confidence was replace with fear as they remembered the school fight.
Back to the fight Demetri tried going after a Cobra but he dodged and ran off just as Hawk got there and he kicked Demetri in the chest who back up in fear while with Tory she took down a Miyagi-do with ease only having to land three shots and she got up looking around for either Sam or Amy
Tory: Show yourselves, LaPussos!
Amy slid into a corner her heartbeat getting faster as she remembered the school fight how Tory used her bracelet as a weapon and Miguel looked at her before he stood up and looked towards Tory
Miguel: Tory...
Said girl glared at him with hate before roundhousing him into the wall and elbowed him three times in the sides before she threw him away. Meanwhile with Demetri and Hawk, Demetri tried landing a hit but grabbed his arm and tripped him getting him in an arm-lock ready to snap his arm and Miguel got up trying to help his friend but was overwhelmed by the numbers game and they held him down
While the other Cobras urged Hawk to do it and Demetri begged him not to do it scared
Demetri: No! Please, stop! Eli, stop! Stop! It's me! Don't do it! No! Help me
Miguel: Eli, don't do this! Stop! Don't
Sam and Amy listened to Demetri's begging trying to gain the courage to help their friend
Cobras: Do it, Hawk! Finish him! He deserves it! Do it!
Demetri: No, no, no! I'll go!
Miguel: Don't! No!
Hawk snapped his arm and Demetri screamed out in pain and he got up off the boy a slight look off regret crossed his face before it disappeared when the others cheered him on and Tory knelt down in front of Miguel who was down on his knees
Tory: No mercy for traitors.
She got up kicked him across the face hard knocking him out before they walked away leaving the place and Sam and Amy sobbed quietly as Demetri whimpered clutching his now broken arm and the others were laid out cold

Johnny wheeled Jack through a hallway filled with men who looked like bikers and Jack looked around
Jack: And I thought this place looked weird from the outside. Uh, where are exactly, dad?
Johnny: It's a field trip. Here take this and foll w my lead.
He handed him the bag and Jack looked at it confusion written all over his face but he nodded anyways
Jack: OK.
They reached an entrance before they were stopped by the bouncer
Bouncer: Hold on. Nice try. Come back when he's 21.
Johnny: Yeah, that's gonna be tough. He'll be dead by then
Jack: *looks at him confused* What?
Johnny: He should be dead already. Everyday's a gift.
Jack: *Quietly* I should be? Ohhh
Jack seemed to get the idea before he looked back to the bouncer and coughed
Johnny: He's got a bucket list. Getting past that door is number one on it.
Bouncer: All right. Go ahead. Good luck, kid
They moved inside where they heard fans cheering and Jack looked to the stage shocked before looking back to Johnny who nodded
Jack: T-That's Dee Frickin' Snider! But how is this part of my physical therapy/
Johnny: It's not...
He unzipped the bag and pulled out two cans of beer and handed one to Jack who was singing along to the song
Johnny: Just forget about all that and have some fun!

Amanda walked into the Cobra Kai dojo and looked around the dark place and called out looking around
Amanda: Hello? Is anyone here?
Kreese walked from out the back dojo wiping his face with a towel
Kreese: We're closed, darling. But if you've got a youngster you'd like to put on the list for Karate lessons, I'd be happy to help you.
Amanda: Is one of those lessons on how to jump a bunch of kids and break one of their arms? 'Cause that's what your students did tonight.
Kreese: *Chuckles* Did they? Must've had it coming.
Amanda: Like my daughters deserved it when one of your minions attacked them at school?
Kreese: Ah! *Chuckles* That must make you Mrs. LaRusso. *Laughs* What's the matter little Daniel's not man enough to fight his own battles anymore? But I wouldn't be surprised since he got his ass handed to him by a 16 year old boy *Chuckles*
Amanda: Hey, Rambo. Kids are getting hurt. So call of your band of Karate thugs or I'm calling the police. Got it?
Kreee: You're a feisty one. But I like that. I like tha--
He was cut off by a slap
Amanda: I don't give a shit what you like. You're a sociopath. And I'm shutting you down even if it's the last thing I do.
He watched her go a small smirk on his face.

Evelyn: Do it again! Do it again!
Jack: OK! OK! OK!
She looked at Johnny tears in her eyes

Johnny: Don't get too cocky. We still gotta get you out of that chair.
Jack: Yes, old man.
Johnny: All right. *Looks at Evelyn* Well, good night.
