"Perfect. First LaRusso and Lawrence have divided and now this!" Silver said slapping the paper in excitement.
"Neither have the fighters to compete in both divisions. Meanwhile we have Nichols and Fisher going against LaRusso's daughter." Kreese said.
"We're going to win this tournament before it even starts." Silver said, then a package got dropped off.
"This is our new equipment, very nice and the best for the kids." Silver said and Kreese chuckled.

"You're a hard girl to find." A lady said walking in front of the dojo.
"Avoiding your Auntie Kandace now, sweetheart? Ignoring my calls?" Auntie Kandace added.
"Yeah what do you want?" Tory asked the lady who seemed like she was drunk.
"To see you of course, and to ask if my sister's disability came in yet."
"What need funding for another scam? The money is for us." Tory said getting upset.
"Come on, my sister always promised to take care of me. She taught you better." Auntie Kandace said.
"She taught me to recognize a low class leech."
"Mind your manners. When your mom kicks the bucket, who do you-
Then suddenly Tory took off her backpack and stepped closer to Auntie Kandace.
"Ooh... quick temper. Just like your old man. When your mother passes gracefully, then what? Do you think your daddy is just going to show up out of nowhere? I'm all you got-"
"I suggest you leave my dear friend alone." I said stepping out of the dojo. Auntie Kandace then turned to look at me.
"Who do you think you are?" Auntie Kandace said pointing her finger at me and getting closer.
"Get away from her." Tory shouted. Auntie Kandace followed Tory's order.
"You don't give a shit about my mom and you just want her survivor benefits." Tory said.
"I was at little Bobby's fourth birthday party last year."
"Brandon is eight. And next year I'll be 18." Tory said and Auntie Kandace watched Tory walk away until she suddenly grabbed her and pulled Tory towards her.
"Don't touch her!" I shouted stepping in between them. Auntie Kandace then pushed me causing me to fall down onto the ground.
"What the fuck!" Tory shouted helping me get up.
"Who do you think is going to win a custody battle huh? You're a high school dropout and a criminal." Auntie Kandace said.
"So are you!" Tory shouted.
"Yeah but at least I know how to play the game. A judge will take one look at you and laugh you out of court. See you at the funeral, tick tock." Auntie Kandace said walking away.

"Mrs.LaRusso. I need your help." Tory said when Amanda opened the front door:
"Okay come on in..." Amanda said.
"Can't believe I'm helping two girls from the rival dojo." Amanda whispered.
"What was that?" Tory asked.
"Um- nothing just come in." Amanda said leading the way.
"Oh wait someone is knocking on the door." Amanda said once she led Tory to the dining table, Amanda got up from her seat and opened the door.
"Oh Giselle?" Amanda said as I stood in front of her.
"Can we talk?" I asked, I then looked inside and noticed Tory.
"Tory?" I asked and she looked up.
"Giselle? What are you doing here?" Tory asked.
"Um.. how about you come sit down with us?" Amanda said, I walked in and sat down next to Tory.
"You guys are... going through similar things. Have you two talked about it before?" Amanda asked, Tory and I looked at each other and nodded no.
"...I'll start off with one similarity you two have. You have to work to fund for yourself." Amanda said, I gulped.
"I didn't know that." I said and Tory nodded.
"Second... you two have unhealthy mothers.. or had." Amanda said and Tory gasped.
"Giselle I didn't know you...were going through a similar thing as me.." Tory said, she suddenly hugged me and I smiled and hugged her back.
"Third...you two are independent, you don't depend on anyone. An example is how my daughter depends on me to take care of her. You two don't have anyone...but that can change. You two can have each other." Amanda said with a smile.
"You're going to be fighting lots of opponents and-" Daniel said but stopped himself when he saw Tory and I sitting down at the dinner table.
"What? What the hell are they doing here!" Sam shouted looking at us up and down with a rude look. Tory and I just sat there looking at her.
"Mom... a word in private." Sam said and Amanda nodded, they then walked into another room and Sam closed the door.
"What were you even thinking? Tory didn't smash up the house enough and Giselle didn't beat me up enough?" Sam shouted at Amanda.
"I know it's difficult but-"
"You wanted Tory to go to jail now you want her back at school?" Sam interrupted Amanda from talking.
"I don't want this rivalry affecting your life anymore." Amanda said, Daniel stood behind Sam.
"Dad can't even get along with his high school rival for more than two seconds, and I'm supposed to go to school and be best friends with two psychos?"
"Johnny's and my differences have nothing to do with-"
"Yes it does! Because you guys just do whatever you want! You don't stop to think that maybe I liked training with Johnny, or maybe I don't want to get my face torn off again!" Sam shouted once again.
"As long as Tory is in school she has something to lose. Sam, Giselle and Tory won't hurt you." Amanda said.
"You're just going to believe them? You'll listen to what they have to say but nobody listens to what I have to say!" Sam said before storming off.
"Thanks for the backup." Amanda said talking to Daniel while walking away.
"She has a point why are you helping those two?" Daniel asked which made Amanda deep in thought.
"Did I tell you about the time I was arrested?" Amanda asked Daniel.
"What? It was a high school prank." Daniel said shrugging his shoulders.
"By prank I meant that I brought a baseball bat to my math tutor's car with her in it." Amanda said.
"You... what? Why?" Daniel said getting closer to Amanda.
"She was having an affair with my dad. My parents marriage was falling apart, I believed that the world was ending. I blamed her for taking it all away from me." Amanda said which left Daniel speechless.
"I know you didn't get along with your dad but... I did... I had no idea."
"I was charged with misdemeanor reckless endangerment. I didn't walk my graduation. My parents then divorced anyway." Amanda said while leaning on the kitchen counter.
"Why did you never tell me this?" Daniel asked.
"Worked hard to put it behind me..and it's not really a first date story.. or any date story. I was young and upset and I'm very lucky it didn't affect my life. But.. Giselle and Tory.. they're both young and upset. Maybe they are lost causes but we'll never know if we don't try to help. All I want to do is try to break the pattern Daniel. Kids like Tory and Giselle get the same messages delivered to them over and over again the same exact way. Sometimes they just need a wake up call to.. change course." Amanda said stuttering at some times.
"She's not the only one who needs a wake up call..." Daniel said.

"Robby." Daniel said walking up to him at the store.
"Of course you're here." Robby said rolling his eyes.
"This'll only take a minute." Daniel said walking closer to Robby.
"I can save you that minute. You're here because you just realized you're training a bunch of weaklings and you need a male champion. You're here to rescue me aren't you?" Robby said being sarcastic.
"I've said all that before... it's time to break the pattern. I heard what you did to Eli." Daniel said.
"I just gave him what he deserved." Robby said putting his hands in his pockets.
"I'm not here to judge...I'm here to tell you what's going to happen sooner or later. Terry Silver popped up out of nowhere right? He did the same thing to me, he'll seem like a decent guy show you some new moves and then he'll worm his way in. Chip away at you and make you push yourself past your limits to the point you can't take it anymore. You'll become stronger than you thought possible, but Silver won't stop there okay? This man is sick in the head and also twisted...and when he's done with you, you won't be you anymore you'll be a whole new corrupted person. One day you'll find yourself with some kids blood all over your shirt and you'll hope it's not too late to change course."
"He's not interested Mr.LaRusso." Sensei Silver said appearing out of the blue.
"Robby, New equipment just got in why don't you check it out?" Sensei said, Robby then walked away.
"Poaching students... is considered unethical. You had an opportunity with Robby, now he's apart of Cobra Kai. You should respect that."
"Respect? Res...you are not a sensei. You're a con man. Manipulating people to turn them into something they are not." Daniel said.
"I didn't turn you into anything', Danny Boy. I brought out what was already inside."
"That's bullshit! You tortured me!" Daniel said as his eyebrows furrowed.
"Please. You were a hothead. All I had to do was wind you up and get out of the way. And...if you're being honest with yourself you know you liked it. Powerful, free that's what you were. You just don't want to admit that there's always been a little Cobra Kai in you." Sensei chuckled
"We'll settle this on the mat. And when we win, Cobra Kai and you will be gone and out of business." Daniel said while walking away exiting the store.

Tory returned to school after around two years, I was walking with her around the school. There were a lot of people whispering around us. We then saw Sam and Tory decided to walk up to her. I followed alongside her.
"I heard you let me back in, LaRusso. So I guess I should-"
"I don't know what kind of game you two are playing but I'm not scared of you guys. You're not in control here. I am. My parents might fall for your bullshit, but if you so much as look at me funny I will beat your ass for a third time. I'm coming for you bitch!" Sam said getting all defensive, she then walked away and I couldn't contain my laughter.
"What's so funny Giselle? Want me to beat your as-"
"I've beaten yours more than 5 times. You've only beat me like once. You really got Tory with the 'Im coming for you bitch!' she's shaking in fear right now." I said in a sarcastic tone and Tory started laughing. Sam rolled her eyes then walked away.

"What? They stole all your clothes?" I asked Kenny after he told me that LaRusso's son had been bullying him.
"I can't take any more of their stupid crap! I'm ready to use my training." Kenny said.
"And what do you think you're going to do?" Robby asked Kenny.
"I'll do what you do. Kick their asses."
"I got kicked out of school and landed in juvie. You have to be smarter than me and your brother." Robby said.
"Well I have to do something." Kenny said.
"Class fall in." Sensei Kreese shouted, everyone then got into their rows and stood with their arms behind their back.
"Today we have a very important lesson don't we.. Sensei Silver?"
"Yes we do. We're going to do a lesson about weakness." Sensei Silver said.
"Your opponent's weakness must be exploited whenever possible. At the tournament you'll have to recognize that weakness. And make no mistake, we all have one."
"Sensei Kreese doesn't." Tory said.
"Of course he does, we all do. Today your goal is to find your opponent's weakness and attack it. There will be no point system, hit the mat and you lose. Got it?" Sensei Silver said.
————————————————————————————
"Who the fuck is that?" I whispered to Tory. There was a new girl with curly hair who seemed confident as she stood up.
"Elswith." Sensei Silver said, the two sensei's were choosing two different people to go up against each other.
"Fisher." Sensei Kreese shouted. I walked up to Sensei Kreese
"All right. You've seen her fight before right? What's her weakness?" Sensei Kreese asked me.
"I've only seen her warm up, there's a huge difference between her two legs. The left one is her weakest." I said confidently.
"Then you know what to do." Sensei Kreese, I nodded and walked to the mat. The girl and I then got into our fighting stance.
"Ais!" Sensei shouted, then suddenly the girl did a cartwheel and attempted to punch me but I blocked. She then started doing some cartwheel and flips, what the fuck?
"Um this isn't a dance class...throw something!" I shouted.
"Why not both?" She then did a cartwheel and kicked very fast but I went underneath the kick with a fast reaction. She attempted to do a turned left leg kick but I grabbed her leg and kicked her in the stomach causing her to nearly fall down. She then grabbed my hair and tried to throw me onto the mat. I grabbed onto her shoulder and kicked her in the stomach multiple times. I then escaped her hands that was pulling on my hair and punched her super hard onto the mat. Sensei Kreese chuckled.
"We should do that again sometime." The girl said with her face heavily bruised.
"Maybe." I said walking away.
"Good one.. Sensei Kreese. Who's next?" Sensei Silver asked.
"Nichols." Sensei Kreese shouted, Tory then stood up and walked over to Kreese.
"Smith." Sensei Silver shouted
A/N: that's a random last name by the way and that character is nonexistent
"Ais!" Sensei shouted, Tory ran up to the boy and did a up kick causing him to be hit in the face and falling down on the mat.
"Quick one, another point for me." Sensei Kreese said with a smirk.
"Good work, Nichols." Sensei Kreese said.
"Thank you Sensei Kreese." Tory said sitting down next to me.

"Can't believe this is happening again. First it was Sam now it's Anthony?" Amanda said walking with Daniel to the school office.
"Don't worry he'll be safe. We'll make sure the kid who did this does not get off lightly." Daniel said.
"Hey Anthony, you okay?" Daniel asked once he saw him sitting down, Kenny was sitting beside him.
"Mr and Mrs.LaRusso, please come on in." The principal of the school instructed.
"Take a seat." The principal said in a serious tone.
"We're not sure what happened." Daniel said sitting down.
"Although whatever it is we expect there to be a severe punishment for it." Amanda said while sitting besides Daniel.
"There will be, I have already spoken to the parents of the other offending students involved and we will be suspending them." The principal said sitting down at his desk.
"Okay." Daniel nodded.
"And your son."
Daniel and Amanda quickly turned to look at the man with a shocked face.
"What? None of this is Anthony's fault." Daniel said looking at Amanda who was also shocked.
"Well... I'm afraid we have proof." The principal said opening up his laptop and turning it around to face Amanda and Daniel with camera footage. It was a video of Kenny running in the hall very quickly meanwhile Anthony and his friends were chasing him.
"It wasn't the first time either." The principal said moving onto the next video showing Kenny opening his locker then milk came out making it get everywhere on Kenny.
"Still don't know how they got all that milk inside. Moving in, Anthony and the others have been cyber bullying Mr.Payne for some time. I've seen enough evidence to say that Anthony has been an upsetting and a real bully this year."
Daniel then turned around to look at Anthony in the window with a disappointed look.
"I got you." Kenny smiled and Anthony looked down at the ground .
