"I searched his name, but didn't find anything." Bryce spoke to Sam as they walked through school together, talk about Kreese and the new Silver guy showing up at their dojo. "Demetri is doing a deeper dive though."

"My dad was so pissed, he didn't even wanna talk about it." Sam said honestly, their nose piercing getting a few peoples attention around them. "So, for the lake trip next week, is it gonna be cold or should I bring a bathing suit?"

"Definitely bring a bathing suit." he nodded his head in confirmation. "It shouldn't be cold but if it is, they've got a hot tub too."

"Also, my dad said no so i'm gonna have to sneak out." Sam agreed, Bryce rose his eyebrows in shock. "What?"

"Nothing." he laughed minorly, the two met up with Demetri and Eli. "You find anything out about the new guy?"

"Nothing interested." Eli shook his head, rocking the new purple shade. "You?"

"Only how he was in the military." he shook his head in return.

"Guys." Miguel hurried over, holding his phone. "You guys need to see this. Sensei got drunk and went on a Twitter rant."

"The dude knows what Twitter is?" Bryce gave a look of disbelief.

"I believe everything except for the part where he knows how to tweet." Demetri pointed out as the four leaned in to look down at the thread of threats made to Mr.LaRusso.

"Yup, that's him. Bad grammer and no punctuation." Bryce nodded, his arm around Sam as they read it.

"It looks like him and Sensei LaRusso are gonna have a rematch." Migeul confirmed, taking his phone back.

"Wait, so, they're really gonna fight?" Eli asked with a shocked look.

"Apparently. Should've seen this coming." Sam spoke with an exhale, shaking her head.

"Who does he even think he's tweeting to? You're his only follower?" Demetri asked. "Oh, and the anti-Bryce fanpage he made."

"I don't know. He seemed serious about it." Migeul voiced his concern.

"So this is real? Sensei and Sensei are gonna throw down?" Eli laughed with an excited look in his eye. "That's awesome!"

Bryce showed up in the LaRusso back yard, Picasso walking with him. He's finally put on some weight and started to get comfortable, heading over to tug on the back of Assfaces pant leg. "Yo, Mr.LaRusso."

Daniel looked back at him as Bryce nodded. "You prepared to throw down?"

"Hey, Bryce." Daniel exhaled, walking closer to him. Bryce gave an odd look. "I've been meaning to talk to you about something."

The blue eyes boy shrugged. "What's up?"

"Sam skipped the last period today." Daniel said as Bryce shrugged. "Look, I know you're not a bad kid, and I like that you and Sam are getting closer. But, I don't want her to turn into someone else just because she feels like she needs to impress you."

Bryce rose his eyebrows in disbelief. "So, you think that i'm forcing Sam to not be herself?"

"No, i'm just saying, i've noticed a change in her recently." Daniel pointed out. "The nose ring, and now the school, and the-"

"Okay, well that has nothing to do with me. Good Sam, Bad Sam, whatever she wants, i'd like her either way. And i'd never make her feel like she has to be someone else." Bryce spoke defensively as he shook his head. "Maybe Sam just doesn't want to be the perfect imagine you've made her feel like she has to be."

Before Daniel could say anything, Bryce walked off to stand with Demetri. Johnny walked into the mat not too much longer later.

Sam and Miguel walked onto the mat. "Face us. Bow."

"Where's my brother?" Bryce gave a curious look.

"He said he was coming." Demetri shrugged.

"Face each other. Bow." Sam encouraged, making the pair do so. Taking their stances, Miguel and Sam waved the flag between the pair. "Fight!"

Johnny kicked at Daniel a few times,. With a few hand to hand combat, Johnny punch Daniel in the side. The crowd oouued as Sam stepped forward, waving the flag. "Point, Lawrence."

"Sensei Lawrence strikes first!" Chris called.

"And I thought we were the immature ones." Bryce gave a snort, his hand reach his to poke Sam in the leg from how she stood higher on the mat. "Wanna make a bet?"

"No." she rolled her eyes slightly with a half grin.

"True to the motto painting of his former dojo wall and carved into his very being!" Mitch added in to Chris's words, getting a weird look. "What? I'm trying to capture spirit of th-the thing."

"Score, 1-0 Lawrence." Miguel spoke from behind his sensei.

They went back to fighting, testing each other, swinging their hands as Daniel did a mini crane, kicking Johnny harshly. Miguel waved the flag. "Point, LaRusso!"

"Sore 1-1." Miguel announced, him and Sam holding the flags out again as the pair took their stance. "Ready!"

"Fight!" Sam called, the two backing up as Johnny sent a string of kicks toward Daniel, missing him each time. They performed hand to hand combat, Daniel knocking Johnny in the stomach. Bryce winced at the contact.

The crowd yelled out in loud cheers. Chris held his camera. "Hell yeah! Two-to-one. LaRusso takes the lead."

"Throw him by the balls!" Bryce encouraged from the crowd.

"All he has to do is score one more point and LaRusso is the winner." Mitch spoke from Chris' other side.

Sam and Miguel took the middle again, flags rose. "Scores 2-1 LaRusso. Ready!"

Daniel pulled some hand movements, ones he'd taught his Miygai-Dos plenty of times.

"Fight!" Sam added, the two backing up as they did twice before. Johnny spun to try and kick Daniel, the LaRusso man blocking him with his raised hands each time. He hit him in the arm, getting a wince from Lawrence. Johnny looked in disbelief, jumping up as his legs went around Daniels waist, pulling him down on the mat with a hit to the chest. The crowd cheered again, Miguel giving the point to Johnny.

Miguel and Sam announced the 2-2 score again, waving their flags, yelling for them to fight. Johnny charged at Daniel full speed, trying to kick him as Daniel dodged each one. Daniel got hold of his shoulders, throwing him over as Johnny did a forward roll.

As they stood, the pair punched at each other, Johnny moving as Daniel fell into one of the wooden post. Bryce winced as the crowd did the same, Johnny attempting to finish him with a kick, Daniel dodging it once again. They went through a string of punches once again, taking turns blocking each other, doing the same with their kicks.

Spinning around, Daniel kicked Johnny in the face as Johnny punched him in the face, the pair both hitting the mat.

"Oh, shit." Bryce couldn't help but laugh.

"Point, LaRusso!"

"Point, Lawrence!"

Miguel looked to Sam. "Are you sure?"

"Are you sure?" she asked him right back.

"Check the replay!" Demetri cut in toward Chris.

Chris played the video as they all watched, crowded around. Sam held Bryce's shoulders to avoid falling off the mat. Johnny shook his head. "Go to another angle."

Chris looked back at him. "There is no other angle."

"Don't you guys have another phone?" the blonde man gave a stupid look.

"Hawk?" Miguel voice rung, making them look over as the boy in a black hoodie emerged from the fence.

Bryce saw his tears. "Where have you been?"

He slowly rose his hands, pulling the hood back as it revealed his mowhawk chopped off, only a few purple hairs left. The crowd gapped in shock. Bryce wasn't sure if he felt anger, or pain for his little brother. Either way, he was seeing red.

Johnny pushed through to stand infront of him. "Who did this?"

"Cobra Kai." Eli said back after a second, keeping his eyes down. He pulled his hood back on.

"Kreese and Silver did this. They need to pay." Johnny spoke up.

"Jesus, Johnny. Please." Daniel said in disbelief. "Kreese tried to kill you. You wanna fight them both?"

"You expect nothing to be done?" Bryce looked at him in disbelief. "They attacked and assaulted my brother!"

"Look what they did." Johnny threw an angered finger backwards toward Hawk, siding with Bryce for once.

"Dousing the fire with gasoline, that's your answer?" the LaRusso sensei asked him in return. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Sensei, stop." Miguel cut in with a soft look toward Johnny.

"You still think your way is the only way." Johnny glared at Daniel. "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?" Daniel shot back at him soon after. "Back to the hospital? Or to jail? Come on, just because you've spent your share of time in both-"

"Enough, Dad." Sam cut in, grabbing his arm to pull him back. "Johnnys 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."

"More then they already have. We can't just sit back and let their pathetic assess get away with something like that." Bryce agreed with her quickly.

Daniel stared at Johnny in disbelief. "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?"

Johnny stared at him with a glare. "You don't have to worry about it anymore. Cause we're done."

Daniel nodded. "Works for me."

"Eagle Fangs, let's go." Johnny turned around, walking off as his students followed.

Bryce looked to Sam. "I've gotta go with him."

She nodded in understandment, letting his shoulders go. Bryce went to Eli, putting his arm around him.
