[SEASON FIVE: EPISODE TEN]

"So, uh, what's the emergency? Why'd you have me bring all my gear?"

"You know as much as we do. Sam just told us to meet here."

"At least she's talking to you. I can't get a response from—" Robby started, before getting cut off.

"Tory?" Hawk questioned as Ethan, Tory, and Sam walked closer toward the rest of the group.

"What happened to your hand?" Keene pointed out, noticing the bandage wrapped around her hand.

"Uh, training accident. I'm okay." She reassured him.

"We think we find a way to prove that Sliver assaulted Stingray."

"If the attack happened at the old dojo, Silver installed security cameras."

"Maybe it's all caught on tape?"

"But that place was cleaned out." Robby shook his head.

"That might not matter. I mean the systems that we sell at TechTown all save the footage to a central server. Silver probably took the whole system."

"I think he did. There is a server in his office at the flagship dojo."

"If we get access to it, we can find that footage."

"We could even post that Stingray clip to their YouTube channel." Hawk suggested.

"Get ahold of everyone else." The brunette stated.

"Let them that we're taking down Cobra Kai.... Tonight."

After instructing the others from the dojo to meet them at the Cobra Kai dojo, the group left Tory's house and arrived before anyone else could. They traveled in separate cars but converged in the parking lot, walking together toward the main entrance of the flagship dojo.

"If it's the same alarm system, I should be able to bypass it." Robby spoke loud enough for them to hear as they reached the stairs leading up to the entrance of the main dojo.

"Spoken like a man that's done this before." Demetri stated, one hand holding onto the strap of the backpack he brought.

"Karate wasn't my first hobby. I fractured a law or two before we met." Keene shrugged his shoulders in response, just as the others from the dojo made it and walked up to them.

"Or we could just scan my key card." Tory suggested, holding up a plastic card in her hand.

"So that those of us on probation keep from, you know, violating it."

Williams looked over as the other students from the dojo joined them, Chris apologizing for being late and putting all the blame on Mitch. However, Nate was quick to notice Tory's presence.

"What's she doing here?"

"Guys, chill out. She's on our side."

"For what we're about to do at least." Sam said.

Mitch stood between Hawk and Chris, observing the group that had texted them all to show up.

"So, what are we doing? All your text says is that we're gonna take down Cobra Kai, but how exactly?" He questioned.

"We're going to show them who their Sensei really is. We believe we have proof that he's a criminal."

"We're going upstairs to Silver's office." Sam announced, looking at the rest of the boys who had just arrived.

"We need you downstairs as lookout."

When Tory gained them access to the inside using the key card, half of the group stayed on the first floor while she led the others up to Silver's office.

Ethan observed the spacious office, noticing a large snake that was painted on the wall behind Silver's desk. Meanwhile, Demetri and Eli began hooking everything up to start their plan, as Hawk was explaining what they were doing.

"Okay, so pulling the Stingray clip off of the server is first day of computer camp shit, then we upload the clip to the YouTube channels and Cobra Kai is out of business."

"Okay, so Stingray's assault happened after prom." The tall boy announced, leaning over to scroll through the computer.

The mention of prom caused Williams' smile to slowly fade as memories flooded his mind. He glanced over at Sam, who was already looking at him, and a sigh escaped his lips as he was the first to look away.

"Any idea how to disconnect one of these?" Tory asked, looking up at the security camera.

"Yeah." Robby said, walking forward and yanking it free from the wall, letting it clatter down at his feet.

"I can't believe it's happening. We're really gonna take Silver down."

"Yeah." He nodded in agreement.

"What could go wrong?

"Okay. I got it!" Demetri announced, before hitting play, with the clear video of Silver mocking Stingray playing before it started glitching out.

"No!"

"Shit. Shit."

"What happened?" Tory asked.

"That's all there is! The rest of it's been erased!"

"Silver covered his tracks." Keene stated.

"Of course he did." Sam said in disbelief.

"Okay. So.... What we do now?"

"I think there might be some other footage we can use."

"You wouldn't know the date and time?" Hawk questioned, glaring at her.

Nichols leaned forward to the computer, with everyone watching as she typed in the correct information, and a small video appeared on the computer screen.

"Okay. I think I got it. Is this the clip?"

"Yeah. That's the one." She confirmed, as a loading bar appeared on the tablet.

"Guys!" Chris shouted loudly from downstairs.

"What was that?"

"We'll check it out. You guys stay here, we need that footage." The brunette said quickly as she and Ethan ran out of the office and made their way downstairs to see what all the noise was about.

Williams stood at the front, glancing over at Sam, who was helping Anthony get back on his feet.

There was Kenny, and Devon, and Kyler, then Tory and Robby came out to join the rest of Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang, leaving Hawk and Demetri back in Silver's office. Lee's face dropped when she saw Tory, sharing a look with the person behind her.

"So you're with them now?"

"You knew what would happen if him and his friends ever stepped foot into this dojo again." Payne spat, his voice filled with angry and aggression as he eyed Robby.

"How'd they know we were here?"

"I have no clue." The boy replied, watching as Kyler and Kenny looked at each other, with smiles on their faces, as if this was some sort of game they were winning.

"Mitch, come on, get your ass over here where you belong."

Everyone's attention turned to look at him, but then Mitch walked between Ethan and Sam to join Cobra Kai's side, unzipping his jacket to reveal a Cobra Kai shirt underneath, with a large smile on his face.

"Penis breath, how could you?" Bert spoke up, addressing him directly.

"I don't know. Maybe because they don't call me Penis Breath." He deadpanned, his eyes scanning all of their faces.

"You know, you guys have been so dead set on taking down Cobra Kai, I didn't even wanna leave in the first place. I mean look around. They got snacks, swag, smoothies."

"Our dojo doesn't even have a roof. Or, like, any chicks. No offense, Sam." He gestured towards the girl.

"All right. Penis Breath, shut up. We got a traitor, y'all got a traitor, so I guess it cancels out, right?" Kyler asked, looking around at the rest of Cobra Kai.

"So are we gonna throw down or what?"

"I'm not a traitor." Tory shook her head in disbelief.

"I'm just not buying what Silver is selling."

"Silver lied. To all of us." Keene said.

"Us?" Kenny questioned, marching closer towards them.

"What 'us'? The only person who lied to me is you."

Suddenly, Ethan stepped forward in front of both Robby and Nichols, preventing him from going any further than he already has.

"Hey. My brother's right. You don't wanna do this, kid."

Sam had her eyes on Williams, but then she watched Kenny turn to look back at the rest of the dojo he belonged to, almost as if he was contemplating about something. Then, he turned back around to face him.

"Yeah, I do." The boy responded, not hesitating to throw a punch. His enemy who leaned back to dodge it then blocked the other attempted punches sent by his opponent.

As the rest of Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang kids backed away, the sudden outburst caught them all off guard.

The brunette suddenly felt someone grab her arm from behind, then a kick just behind her knee caused her to fall to the ground. As she landed on her back, she saw a random boy from Cobra Kai trying to take her down.

She kicked her leg up before he could throw his hand down to punch her, hitting him hard enough in the wrist to make him cry out in pain.

It seemed to enrage the boy further, but before he could even strike another move, someone had come up behind him and kicked underneath his legs, causing him to collide with the ground.

A smile tugged on her lips when she saw Ethan, his foot kicking the other boy on the ground in the face hard enough for blood to come from his lip. Sam attempted to get up from the ground, but Williams quickly went over to her, grabbed hold of her hands, and helped her to her feet.

"You alright, Sammy?" He asked, seemingly out of breath. Even she was trying to catch her breath as chaos went on around them.

She nodded reassuringly, pushing strands of hair out of her face.

"Yeah. You?"

"Of course."

Then, the two had descended back into the chaos once again.

"Devon. You don't want to be on their side. Trust me."

"Like you trusted me? You've been lying about whose side you were on this whole time."

"I know. I'm sorry. I tried telling you—" Tory started, but a boy ran up towards her. She swiftly kicked him in the face, knocking him down to the ground.

Robby quickly took care of his opponent before someone familiar shouted out his name, indicating they wanted to fight.

"You're mine, Robby." Kenny declared, marching closer towards Keene, and sending multiple punches as his opponent blocked them.

"Kenny, stop. I'm not your enemy." He pleaded, trying to reach out to him, but the boy completely ignored him and head-butted him, making him stumble backwards.

Robby took out the other two, but before he could do anything else, someone landed a hit on him. Then, Payne struck him where his heart is, causing his opponent to gasp for air.

He along with two other Cobra Kai students, started circling around Keene, knocking him down.

Ethan immediately came flying and kicked Kenny down on the ground. He then got low on the floor, preforming a roll sweep, on the boy who was holding Robby, before getting back on his feet and kicking another boy onto the ground.

The boy turned back around just as his opponent went in for a punch. Williams blocked it before grabbing the boy's arm and throwing him down on the floor.

"Hey you alright?" He asked, before sending a kick towards a Cobra Kai boy, then quickly helped Keene back on his feet.

"Yeah. Thanks, brother."

"No problem."

Tory kicked a Cobra Kai student back, then took down another one, throwing them to the floor.

Suddenly, someone kicked their leg out, causing Nichols to fall flat on her back. She looked up at the person who did it and realized it was Sensei Kim.

"You disappoint me, Nichols."

"Yeah?" The blonde girl quickly rose to her feet.

"Well, likewise."

"I warned Silver you could not be trusted. Let this be my final lesson to you. And a more painful one than the last." The woman stated, before assuming a fighting stance.

"Hey, Ethan, we got it!" Demetri called out. Just as Williams turned to look at Eli who had the tablet, he was taken aback when Kyler appeared out of nowhere, pushing aggressively on Hawk's back.

The boy fell to the ground, causing the tablet to slide out of his reach and across the floor. Luckily, it landed right at the end of Anthony's feet, and he quickly picked it up.

"Get him!" Kenny shouted, referring to Anthony, who had possession of the thing that Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang seemed to be there for.

"Everyone protect the egg!" Williams called out, before helping the other students from the dojo to utilize the training that helped them work as a team.

Kim had thrown Nichols down on the ground, then placed her foot on the girl's wrapped hand, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Such a tough facade. All to hide the fragile little girl underneath."

Sam heard the sound of someone in pain, and noticed it was Tory, struggling against the female Sensei.

"Tory!" She shouted, as she looked over at Ethan, who quickly nodded in agreement and followed her to them.

The boy quickly turned back to see the brunette had already taken care of Sensei Kim, but Williams rushed over there to Tory's side, who was struggling to stand. He wrapped his arm around her, helping the blonde girl stand to her feet.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm good." She reassured him as the two joined Sam. Sensei Kim didn't back down from the fight, waiting for one of them to strike first.

Tory was the first one to strike, letting out a grunt as she kicked her leg forward, struggling not to use the hand that was hurt. LaRusso tried to catch the woman off guard by hitting her in the side just as Kim kicked Nichols in the abdomen, sending her back.

Ethan felt his jaw clench before reaching to grab the woman's arm and pulling it behind her, then kicking Sensei Kim on her back, causing her to fall to the floor.

He glanced back over at the group across the room fighting, with Anthony struggling to keep the tablet safe. Sam let out a grunt as she kicked Kim down.

Just as the female Sensei stood up, Tory and the brunette held up their fists, preparing themselves for the fight, but were suddenly joined by another person. Williams glanced over, recognizing Devon by their side.

"Lee, do not let these Nichols cloud your judgment. You are the future of this dojo, not her. You can be a champion. Do not throw that away."

"Oh, I will be a champion. But I'll get there my way, not yours." She shook her head in disbelief, raising her fists to show that she was on the same side as Tory. Lee turned her attention to glare over at the brunette.

"Go. Save your brother. We've got this."

Sam and Ethan both nodded, trusting that they both could handle this, and they rushed to the other side of the room.

The televisions throughout the room turned on and began playing a video. Everyone in the dojo suddenly stopped, their attention drawn to the screens.

Williams noticed Daniel in the big crowd, but then his eyes shifted up towards the screen. The video showed Tory and Silver standing in the middle of the dojo.

"I need to talk to you."

"Nichols. What's on your mind? Excited to take things to the next level?"

"What's the point? You'll just pay to make me champion again."

"So you know about the ref. Have you told anyone else?"

"Not yet. So you don't deny it?"

"Not at all. I paid him off to make sure Cobra Kai won. It was an insurance policy. You still won the fight."

"Did I?"

Before anything else was said in the footage, the familiar voice of Silver filled the dojo, and this time it wasn't from the video being played to everyone in the dojo.

"That's it?"

"That was your big plan, LaRusso?" Terry asked, blood on the side of his face, looking like he had just endured his own hell.

"Breaking into my dojo to steal some footage that changes nothing?"

Everyone began dispersing, with a clear path made to LaRusso. Before Silver got too close, someone stepped out in front of the Sensei.

"It wasn't his plan. It was ours." Tory confessed, looking over at Robby.

"And it changes everything." Keene added.

Silver took in those words before slowly made his way to the teenagers, as if he had every intention of tearing them down. However, he backed away from the two teenagers, turning to face the rest of the Cobra Kai students.

"Our enemies.... Think they can keep attacking us with no repercussions. And what does the enemy deserve?" The old man called out, but no one answered, not a single student from the Cobra Kai dojo. He looked dumbfounded, still expecting them all to be on his side.

"You think I'm the only one willing to go to these lengths?" He questioned his students before pointing to the opposite side of the room where the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students stood.

"Their Sensei's broke into my home tonight. My home! Attacked me, unprovoked!"

"But here I am. The only one left standing. They think they're entitled to victory because their way is 'right' and our way is 'wrong'. But that's not how it works. There are no morals to the story, no happy endings."

"Life isn't a fairy tale. It's a competitive sport. Right and wrong, there's no such thing. There are only winners and losers. Cobra Kai builds winners because we're willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top." Silver spat, clearly angry from the events of tonight. Then he turned to face Daniel.

"Everything you did to try and stop me amounted to nothing but pain. You got your ass kicked, Danny-boy. Now you can either accept that.... Or I can kick it again right now."

Everyone was quiet, and you could hear a pin drop if someone did. Then, Amanda stepped forward to her husband.

"We're all with you, Daniel. Do what you have to do."

LaRusso stepped closer towards him as they started circling around each other.

"First, I took care of Chozen. Now you. This is where Miyagi-Do ends."

"Miyagi-Do existed before any of us. It'll be around long after we're gone. The roots are strong, so the tree will survive."

Terry swung at him at least three times, all of which Daniel blocked. Sliver kicked over his head, but his opponent dodged it before delivering a hard kick, causing him to hit the ground. The old man got up almost immediately and circled him once more.

"Over the years, I've developed a system of intensive short-term training for situations just like this. It comes in two parts and has three rules. I call it 'Quick Silver'."

Silver swung twice, then kicked, but his opponent used his forearms to block the blows.

"Rule number one, a man can't stand, he can't fight."

Daniel caught his arm, holding onto it as he ducked under and delivered a hard knee him to his enemy's face, before shoving him down to the ground. He then held his arm bend, as if he was going to break it.

Terry swung his fist, but LaRusso's knee came up and stopped him before punching him right in the face, knocking him down again. He got up again, not as fast. He swung again, then kicked, but his opponent blocked both strikes.

"Rule number two of the Quick Silver method: A man can't breathe, he can't fight."

Daniel used his tactics against him, punching him right in the chest to knock the wind out of him. Silver fell back, coughing.

"Rule number three. A man can't see, he can't fight."

He grasped onto him, but Daniel used the legendary crane move to kick him in his face, sending him flying backward into the trophy cases. Pieces of glass fell around him.

Ambulances and fire trucks were parked outside the Cobra Kai dojo, along with several police cars. Officers and news reporters were talking with anyone they could, with all the teenagers and adults spread out.

Sam leaned up against a car that was a little farther away from the scene, with a thin grey blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

She didn't have much energy to roam around and check up on people like she normally would, so she distanced herself away from the center of everything. However, Ethan managed to find her.

He was hesitant to approach her because she seemed to have her eyes on the ground and hadn't noticed him yet.

Williams walked up to her, noticing Sam's head lifted up and she smiled at the sight of him.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, more or less."

There was a hint of laughter in her words, but he could tell she sounded exhausted and upset almost.

"What about you? Any major damage?"

When she looked up at him, the boy let out a sigh and looked away, as if he had to think.

"Um.... Think I've had much worse."

They both fell into a comfortable silence, with distant voices and flashing lights from the trucks coming from behind them.

He watched as Sam looked down at her hands that rested in her lap, seemingly enjoying the silence for what seemed to be the first time in a while. However, the brunette reached into her pocket and pulled out a sliver diamond necklace.

"Is this yours? I found it at Miyagi-Do."

"That was, um...." Williams looked shocked.

"It was supposed to be yours, but—"

"But I broke up with you before you could give it to me." She interrupted him.

"Yeah."

"So you weren't really fine with breaking up with me?"

"It's not what I expected to happen, but.... You said that you weren't okay. You needed some time to figure out what you wanted and.... I felt that was more important."

"Thank you. Means a lot to me." Sam said, as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer toward him.

"Of course. And besides, it's what you do when you really love someone."

"You've never said that before."

"Yeah.... I love you, Sammy."

"I love you too." Sam said and, wasting no time leaning up to kiss him. Ethan kissed back, neither of them wanting to let go of how they both felt in this moment.

He felt happy, like he was on top of the world, and he really liked that feeling. Being with Sam just amplified the feeling even more.

Although neither of them wanted to pull away and leave this moment, they knew they had to.

They were in love, and that was all that mattered to them as of right now.

Once Sam felt okay enough to leave, the two made their way from the car to where the rest of their friends and families were.

Everyone's attention turned toward the building where Silver was being brought out. He was in handcuffs and was being guided by an officer toward a police car.

Ethan watched as the man was placed into the vehicle. He turned away from the scene and looked over at the brunette who had her eyes on Johnny and Daniel, who were talking to a detective.

When the boy overheard the name 'John Kreese', he gave his mom a look that asked them to wait as he took Sam's hand into his own, leading her to where their Sensei's stood.

As they approached them, the detective just finished talking to the two men, and Williams's eyebrows furrowed.

"What was that about?" The boy questioned. Daniel and Johnny both shared a look, just as LaRusso glanced at the two teenagers.

"Apparently Kreese is.... Dead, he tried to stop some fight in the prison."

"Shit."

"That old piece of shit had it coming. It was overdue." Lawrence shrugged his shoulders in response. As morbid as it sounded, Kreese being dead was very good news. Cobra Kai was officially gone forever.

"So.... What happens now?" He asked.

"Go home and rest, celebrate, whatever. And then.... we start training for the Sekai Taikai."

Everyone eventually started going home, some returning with a new life now that their dojo was gone, and others returning with the comfort of knowing Cobra Kai was over.

WOW SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 TO DECEMBER 10, 2022. THATS THREE WHOLE MONTHS WHICH HONESTLY FELT LIKE MORE THAN THAT.
