[SEASON FIVE: EPISODE SIX]

"So, can anyone else still believe thing actually happened?" Ethan questioned as he sat across from Johnny at the LaRusso's dining room table.

It's been a whole week since Daniel got his butt kicked by Sliver. Williams, Lawrence, Chozen, Amanda, and Sam were discussing a way to get back at Terry for what he did. Although It was an odd group, they were the only ones stable at the moment, anyway.

"Ethan is right. It's been a week. The longer we wait—"

"We must let Daniel-san heal."

"Chozen's right. I wanna do something too, but we can't just go after Silver—"

"Dad." Sam called out, as everyone's attention snapped over towards Daniel, who had walked into the room fully dressed in a suit.

"Johnny, Ethan, what're you doing here?" He  asked.

"Figuring out how to make Silver pay for what he did to you."

"What's with the suit?" Amanda muttered.

"I can't wear my pajamas to LaRusso Auto, can I?" LaRusso sighed in disbelief.

"You're going into work?"

"Daniel-san, we need to make plans—"

"Guys, I appreciate the sentiment. I do. But I'm out of this whole thing with Silver. If he wants the Valley, he can have it. I'm done with karate."

He was quitting karate and giving up on trying to stop Sliver. Now of all times. Guilty that Terry wanted Daniel to give up after he was only trying to do the right thing.

"What you do mean, done with karate?" Ethan spoke up, now jumping into the conversation.

"I am giving up. Trying to go toe-to-toe with Silver was a mistake. It almost cost me my family. I'm not making that mistake again." LaRusso stated.

"Daniel, we're with you. You don't have to stop fighting." Amanda argued.

"Yes. I do. I became a Sensei to help kids. Instead, I'm making everyone's life worse."

"This is the mentality that Silver wants you to have. You did help kids."

"Want me to make a list of how many ways they're hurting because of this, including my own daughter? Ask Robby how much I've helped him."

"Hey, Robby forgives you. He forgives all of us. He told me." Williams stated, but Daniel ignored him, already starting to make his way out of the door.

"You know, growing up, I never understood why Mr. Miyagi walked away from a fight. But I understand it now. It's not our job to fight the monsters of the world. Not anymore." He replied, before placing his black sunglasses on and walking out of the house.

The group sat in the living room with Johnny pacing back and forth. Ethan and Sam sat down on the couch, not doing anything in particular, waiting for someone to come up with a plan.

"I don't get it. 'No be there' is one thing, but LaRusso letting Silver win?"

"That walking oil spill got into Daniels head in a way I didn't think was possible. He'll come around. He just needs time." Amanda added.

"Yeah, but we don't have time. Soon Silver will have a whole army behind him with the Valley in the palm of his hand." The boy said.

"He's not just opening new ones. He's taking over other dojos now too." The brunette pointed out before opening Instagram to reveal Terry with his students, now taking over Topanga Karate.

"I'm here at Topanga Karate, welcoming them into our Cobra Kai family."

"Oh my god. When did this happen?"

"It's live. It's happening right now."

"Perfect. I'm gonna go down there and beat his ponytail ass. Williams, you coming along?" Johnny questioned, his tone filled with determination.

Now, normally Ethan would immediately decline the offer, but after everything that's happened with Daniel, he couldn't stand by and do nothing. The man was like another father to him. He wanted to teach his grandfather, Silver, a lesson, one that he'll never forget.

"You know it." He nodded his head.

"You guys can't just march down there!" Amanda argued.

"The hell we can't. Guys whole MO is hiding in the dark, waiting for us to fall into his traps. Right now, we know where he is. He's not on his home turf." Lawrence said, gesturing to Sam's phone which was still playing the live video.

"Chozen, please say something to them." She begged.

"Amanda-san is right. Two man army not good."

"Thank you."

"I come with you."

"That's not what I meant."

Ethan immediately grinned, seeing this as a potential lethal trio. Despite the fact he wasn't afraid to take it too far when it came to the ones he cares about, and he cares about Daniel. So, he wasn't afraid of the consequences.

"You know this isn't some kata competition, right?" Johnny snarked.

"Hai."

"Is that a yes?"

"Just make your way out of the house, Sensei." Williams mumbled, shaking his head, before turning his attention towards Sam, who glanced right up at him.

"Please be careful, Ethan."

"You know I will. I always am." He stated, quickly kissed her on the cheek before walking out the house.

"You didn't have to come. Me and Williams can handle this." Johnny stated as he, Ethan and Chozen slowly made their way to the front of the Topanga Karate dojo.

"Not likely. Silver very dangerous."

"Yeah, I know. But, I'm ready for him. I can be dangerous too."

"Daniel-san told me how 'dangerous' you can be." Chozen chuckled in response.

"Really?"

"Did he mention how I kicked his ass back in high school?"

"I robbed him while he was on date."

"Oh yeah? I pushed him a cliff."

"I fight him to death."

"Oh yeah? What, are you a ghost or something?"

"No, Daniel-san showed me mercy."

"Yeah, sounds like LaRusso. Man, he was such a twerp back then."

"Real pain in ass."

"But he always fight for what he believes."

"He never backed down from a fight, even when he should have. A few mouths ago, I saw him take on an entire hockey team. Five on one. He beat them all."

"I saw him save young girl from typhoon."

"He took a man down with a single strike to his pressure point."

"Who do you think teach him that?"

Ethan rolled his eyes and got a closer look, glancing through the window. The students were all doing exercises, although there was a familiar brown-haired girl standing between the row of students.

"Sensei, isn't that—"

"Devon? What the hell?" Johnny interrupted.

"What are you doing?"

"One of my students is in there."

"Not here for students. Here for Silver. Must wait for right time. Run into den of lions, you will get eaten."

"Yeah, Sensei. Listen to him."

"Fine, we'll wait." He agreed.

They continued to watch the students train, waiting for the perfect time to strike. However, after a few minutes, Williams was started to grow impatient, a sentiment Johnny and Chozen could both sense. All three of them wanted to kick some ass, but they knew they would have to wait for the perfect opportunity.

Eventually, practice was finally over, and everyone had cleared out. This gave the guys the perfect time to walk right inside the dojo.

"Adult classes are on Wednesdays." Hyan-woo stated, turning his head to face the three.

"We're not here to take a lesson. We're here to teach you one."

"Where's Terry Silver?" Chozen questioned.

"What do you want with Sensei Silver?"

"We're gonna beat his ass. That's what we're planning doing to do." Ethan replied.

"Not possible."

"What, you don't think I can beat him?"

"I don't think you can beat me."

"Oh yeah?"

The man threw a punch, which Johnny caught in his hand. Williams was very impressed, to say the least, and he stepped back to give Sensei space. But when Lawrence was starting to struggle against his opponent, suddenly Chozen jumped in to save him.

"How long you train at Kim Sun-Yung dojo?"

"My whole life."

Ethan wanted to jump in as well; he just had to find the perfect opening. When he did, he came in ready to strike, delivering a roundhouse kick to his opponent.

The Sensei went to land a punch, but Williams caught his arm just in time, throwing him back towards Johnny and Chozen, who had started to fight with him once more.

"Enough!" A woman called out as she entered, with a group of men following closely behind her.

"You must be Chozen Toguchi. Far from your pathetic little island, aren't you? And I'm surprised to hear Daniel LaRusso has healed from his injures so quickly."

"Ethan Williams, the prodigy. I've heard so much about you from your grandfather, Sliver. I'm shocked that you haven't joined him yet."

Williams and Johnny shared a look with each other, their eyebrows furrowed in confusion, before speaking at the same time.

"What the hell? I'm not Daniel larusso? I look nothing like him."

"Okay, lady. I already made my decision. I'm standing with my friends and family. I'll never join you or that white-haired asshole."

"Silver must answer for what he has done." Chozen pointed out.

"You bark like your two dogs."

"Yeah, we do way more then bark."

"You wish to fight? Joon-be!"

All The Sensei's behind her got into a fighting stance, while Williams almost did the same. But he suddenly stopped himself, his eyes narrowing into a sharp glare.

"Too much advantage. Their dojo. We fight when time is right." Chozen ordered.

"This isn't over. We're not gonna let you take over the Valley."

"We already did."

"Yeah, whatever." Ethan muttered, before walking out of the dojo with Johnny and Chozen following behind him.

"It's pretty obvious that Silver has some sort of a plan." Williams said, after him, Johnny and Chozen made their way to the LaRusso household, where they sat down at the dining room table, with Amanda and Sam were already seated.

"Now he's got these international ringers. Son of a bitch refuses to fight fair."

"All have trained under Silver's master, Kim Sun-Yung. I defeated six Sensei's from Valley by myself."

"While, it took the three of us to stand against just one."

"Still think we could have taken them. Give me a pair of nunchucks, and it's lights out, baby."

"Okay, let's just take a breath here before we start entertaining assault with deadly weapons." She reassured them.

"Chozen, you're still new around here, and no offense, Johnny, but strategy isn't exactly your forte. You're more of a.... Blunt instrument."

"Thank you."

"Well, your about the same but in the middle."

"If we're gonna mount a resistance, we're gonna need Daniel to lead it."

"But, you heard what he said. He clearly doesn't wanna fight anymore." Ethan stated.

"I thought I was done fighting too." Sam said, as everyone turned their attention towards her.

"But I was wrong. I thought the same as Dad. I felt like.... Karate just made everyone worse for everyone."

"I've even got the scars to prove it." The brunette said, as Williams grabbed her hand, holding it in a comforting manner.

"But years from now, if my scars have faded.... The lessons that I learned, Mr. Miyagi's lessons, they'll be more powerful than the first time I put on a gi."

"Dad was right. Mr. Miyagi avoided a fight whenever possible. But he also fought when he had to. And if he were here right now, I think he would tell Dad that is a fight we can't walk away from." She explained.

"Well, Daniel may not have Mr. Miyagi to rely on anymore, but.... He's got us."

"What are we doing here? I thought we were heading home." Daniel pointed out, after Amanda had stopped their car in front of the Miyagi-Do dojo.

"Uh, we just have to make a quick stop." She replied, unbuckling her seatbelt.

"Come on."

LaRusso let out a sigh before unbuckling his own seatbelt and following his wife inside the dojo.

She led him over to the back where there was a room, originally Mr. Miyagi's.

"Amanda, I can't go in there."

"I know. But you're hurting right now. I want you to heal. And I'm right here."

He nodded his head and opened the door, noticing the amount of stuff that filled the room. It had pictures of Miyagi when he was a kid, and when he and Daniel traveled back to his hometown, Okinawa.

"It's like a time capsule in here."

"The night before we got married, I was so nervous. I came here to see Mr. Miyagi. He sat down, poured me a cup of tea.... And some sake." She explained, as he chuckled lightly.

"And we talked about you. He loved you so much, Daniel. He said to me, 'Amanda-san in life, always easier to hide in sand.' He told me you could be s bit of a handful sometimes."

"That you would always fight for what you believed in. And there was nothing you believed in more than your family and friends. And what I believe in now is standing up to Terry Silver. It's the right thing to do for you, for me, for our family."

"Sorry it took me so long to realize." She apologized.

"That means the world to me, Amanda. But what if standing up to Sliver just make things worse again?"

"Every time I try to fight for what's right, somebody gets hurt. I can't fail these kids again."

"You didn't fail us."

Daniel turned his attention around to look over the person behind those voices. It turned out those voices belonged to Robby and Ethan who, stood there with Sam near the doorway.

"Sam and Ethan told me what was going on."

"You know, when you first met me, I was a messed up kid. But you gave me a job. And a home. And a purpose." Keene reflected.

"You can't just give up, Mr. LaRusso. Not now, and not ever."

"Robby, the things I did, juvie I was...." He started, stepping closer towards them.

"I was just trying to help you."

"No, I'm.... I'm sorry." Robby apologized.

"I should've listened to you about Cobra Kai. But I didn't understand until I started mentioning someone myself."

"Now Silver's got a hold on this kid. There's some others in there I care about too, and, uh, we need to stop Cobra Kai. But we can't do it without you."

"Sensei." They both chuckled lightly.

"Dad, not everyone has someone like you to protect them and teach them."

"It's time that all of us join this fight."

"All of us?" Daniel questioned as Sam led them to the back doors. She opened the two doors wide to reveal everyone of his and Johnny's students were standing there. Surprisingly, Anthony was there too.

"You're not alone anymore."

"So what do you say, Mr. LaRusso? Will you fight will us?" Ethan asked.

LaRusso stepped down on the ground, and glanced at every single one of his students. All the students bowed as he looked at both Johnny and Chozen, who nodded their heads. The three Sensei's bowed to their students.
