[SEASON TWO: EPISODE SIX]

The kids jumped up and down, panting as they continued doing their burpees. After a recent encounter with Daniel about his dojo being destroyed, Johnny decided to punish the whole class to found out who really did it.

"This all could be over in an instant. The decision's yours! Who trashed the Miyagi dojo?" Sensei shouted angrily.

Ethan had a sneaking suspicion and thought it was Hawk. But it made the most sense. He wouldn't do something like that to someone else's dojo, and plus, Miyagi-Do was like another home to him.

Aisha still care about the LaRusso's, although her and Sam were on good terms. Tory probably didn't even know where it was. Plus, Hawk doing it made the whole thing true because he went after Demetri over a Yelp review.

"Y'all know I'm no fan of LaRusso, but that sort of bullshit we don't teach in here. At least not anymore." Johnny stated, and walked over to Kresse. Ethan felt his lungs burning as he continued his burgees. No one was gonna come clean about it.

"So, I'm gonna ask you again. Who trashed Miyagi-Do?"

"It wasn't me, Sensei. I would never disrespect another man's dojo—"

"Shut your cakehole chubs." He snapped.

"I'm not looking for excuses. I'm looking for answers!"

"Sensei, we don't know who did it." Williams panted heavily, and Aisha nodded her head.

"Somebody knows something. The question is.... who's gonna break?" Kreese asked, mainly looking at Hawk. Suddenly, the phone in Johnny's office started ringing.

"Keep going we could do this all day!" He yelled, before walking to his office.

The kids had continued doing while their other Sensei watched them, and Johnny was out of town, visiting some old friends.

"Sensei, we need a water break." Mitch begged, walking over to Kreese, who looked around the room, then noticed the sweating and panting students.

"Two minute break!" He yelled, making them all sighed in relief.

The old man made everyone do some type of strength workouts. Ethan, Ray, Tory, Aisha were using the battling ropes, while Hawk, Mitch and some others were lifting weights.

"Keep going I have all day." He stated, walking around surveying them.

"You think it's okay if I puke in here?" Ray asked.

"No." Aisha replied.

"If he's gonna make us do this all day, then we've gotta figure out who did it." Ethan panted, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"I bet it was shit breathe." Tory spat, nodding towards Mitch.

"Screw you!"

"What did you say?"

"You wanna do this right now?" He challenged, moving closer towards her. Hawk shoved him, as Williams tried to deescalate the situation.

"STOP!" Kresse demanded, catching all of their attention. Mitch and Tory stopped trying to go at each other, meaning the others could let them go.

"Would you really like to know who did it?"

All the kids stayed quiet, panting heavily, and waited for him to say something.

"It was Hawk." He stated, pointing to the mohawk boy.

"And it was Williams."

"Robinson."

"Also it was Nichols, Chubs, Red. When one of you makes a move. You live and you die with the consequences and the spoils. Because you all are Cobra Kai."

"Main dojo, five minutes. You're about to begin your real training."

"Combat. Fight!"

Tory's mouth gasped as Mitch, who was her opponent, sent her a kick. But she hastily blocked it and delivered a punch right back at him. He walked backward, avoiding her wrathful fists.

She gritted her teeth and advanced forward, sending a back-fist to the spleen, making the boy clutched his chest. She did one last circular knee kick and finished him off.

"One point!" Ethan announced, as he briefly raise the red flag

"Hit him again." Kreese said.

Her eyebrows furrowed for a second as she glanced at Mitch; he looked helplessly at her, and she felt troubled.

She clenched her fists, breathing rather heavily but quietly, her eyes flickering to almost every person in the dojo. They were waiting for her to do what he had ordered.

"Do you have a problem with that?" He asked, slowly, but she didn't say anything.

"A fight isn't over until your enemy is finished. You show your enemy no mercy."

Tory felt so nervous that she didn't realize she had nodded her head at him and was about to send a forceful knee kick towards Mitch, but something stopped her.

"Stop." Ethan shouted, loudly.

"This isn't what Sensei Lawrence has been teaching us."

"Excuse me?" Kreese narrowed his eyes at him.

"There's no honor of being merciless towards anyone." Williams stated, firmly, and she glanced at him, a small frown on her face.

"Tory score a point. The fight's finished."

"Sensei Lawrence is right, of course." The old man shrugged, then he began stalking towards the champion.

"In a tournament, the fighting stop 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." He faced him closer, but Ethan kept his head up, not afraid to look at him in the eyes.

"And there are no losers in this dojo."

"What are you doing?" Tory furrowed her eyebrows when she walked in the store room and found Ethan kicking a huge punching bag. The boy stopped and smiled softly.

"Come here."

He threw her the kickboxing gloves, which she insisted caught. He raised both of his hands up, with the other kind of gloves on, as she frowned at him a little confused, but she put on the gloves, anyway.

"Strike me." Williams ordered. Tory shrugged her shoulders and send a few hard knee kicks on his glove plams. After a while, he suddenly lowered his hands, and she stopped. He sent her a small smile.

"Today's lesson was crazy, right?"

"Not that crazy." She chuckled, pursing her lips as she started to kick once more, but he placed his arms down again.

"You don't think some of the stuff Kreese is teaching us just wrong?"

"That the only thing about life is winning?"

"My mom worked at this restaurant when I was little. She'd bring home leftovers so, my brother and I had enough to eat." Tory slight sighed, before continuing.

"And when her manager found out.... he fired her. No money, no one noticed. He said it was against store policy. She wasn't stealing, the food was gonna ended up in the trash. And besides, the world shows no mercy. Why should we?"

"Some people had it good, but the rest of us. We have to fight for each inch of what's ours. Not just score a point, for everything."

"I understand." Ethan nodded his head in agreement.

Williams walked into the dojo, stepping over some kids who were on the floor stretching, but before heading towards the backroom, where Kreese was lifting weights.

"Sensei Kreese?" Ethan called out.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Williams?" He asked, turning his back over to him.

"I just wanted to apologize about yesterday, interrupting class. It was very disrespectful of me to challenge your lesson."

"You honor Sensei Lawrence with your allegiance. And allegiance is nothing to apologize for. Sensei Lawrence's heart's in the right place, but I'm afraid.... he's a little mixed up. Together, the two of us will make sure that he gets back on track. Won't we?" Kreese asked, placing a hand on Ethan's right shoulder.

"Of course." The boy answered with a grin.

"Good. Now let's get to class."

The kids all got into their fighting positions and started practicing punching as Kreese slowly walked around them.

"Cobra Kai is not a one big hobby. It's not a club. Cobra Kai is your brothers.... and your sisters. You are all Cobra Kai for life, because Cobra Kai never dies."
