as someone who grew up doing karate with my grandfather everyday, you could say i'm just as good as, if not better than, all these people from the valley who are joining myagi do or eagle fang. however, it's hard to track who's who when they keep changing the dojo name, or changing senseis. my grandfather has been training with me since i was just a baby and my endurance, strength, and pain tolerance has only grown sense then, hes trained me to be a black belt in karate with just his trainings.

while some might think that because my grandpa is terry silver that i would join cobra kai, but i've been in myagi do for a few months now, surprisingly, and learned their special skills and tricks that are supposed to be "the secret okinawa way of the fist". i can tell it's all bullshit and i don't see how anyone can't see that. since i've joined everyone has warmed up to me already, treating me like a friend, inviting me to parties, and telling me their secrets for taking down cobra kai. they keep talking shit about cobra kai and silver but continue to mope and complain that they don't have a smoothie bar or special shirts. daniel keeps saying that we are all materialistic and it's not the special amenities that make up a good dojo, but what's karate if you're not having fun a little?

lately, however, someone in the dojo keeps telling sensei silver miyagi-do's ideas and he keeps catching them before they can get away with their schemes.

that "someone" i speak of is me. my grandfather forced me to join myagi do with a fake name, fake backstory, and a fake i.d. to try and infiltrate and ruin their dojo. so far it's working as everything they try to do backfires on them, it's very funny to watch as their dojo crumbles to the ground.

i keep asking grandpa when i will come clean as (even though what i'm doing is technically classified as "evil") i can't keep lying. he says just a little longer until they close for good or lose the all valley championships. but he's been saying that for months. they are catching onto my lies and i can hear them whispering behind my back in the dojo. about how my stories and my backstory don't match up or that they tried to look up my last name online and it seemed like i didn't exist,

grandpa even makes i sure that no one knows we are related or even talk by only talking at the house and never in public. he says i can only train at the cobra kai dojo at night and i am never allowed to go in to any of the locations during the day unless it's for a miyagi-do plan. keeping up the ruse is hard, i'm sure i'll accidentally slip and admit my last name or they'll find out my true ancestory.

3 MONTHS AGO

i walked through the gate and into the backyard of myagi do, hoping for anyone to see me or greet me at the entrance. however, only two students were there and they seemed so focused in their training that they didn't even notice i walked in.

i coughed to get their attention and they jumped a little as they weren't expecting someone to sneak up on them. i thought miyagi-do students were supposed to have amazing reflexes. the gate walking in was super creaky and they didn't even notice that? they looked towards me for a second before taking off their gloves and sparring gear and walking towards me cautiously.

"what are you doing here?" the taller man of the two says. i was not expecting anyone who does karate do have a massive red mohawk, but you see something new everyday i guess. but who am i to judge, my grandfather wears a ponytail everyday.

i recognized him but i couldn't tell from where. however, his signature lip confirmed my suspicions that it was eli. i saw him get bullied everyday by kyler and his goons. while he didn't deserve it, it was kind of funny to see him cry. i wonder if i could do the same, make him cry like that.

"i just wanted to see if i could join the dojo. i want to practice karate" i reply back, with a slight grin as to maybe make them less suspicious of me and let their guard down.

the other one looks at me up and down, and i couldn't tell if he was judging me or checking me out. i honestly hope he was judging me because his dumb side part and lanky features really made me want to not join this dojo.

"i mean sure but we woukd have to confirm with sensei larusso." the lanky one says. i look at eli, hoping for him to nod in acceptance but he just stares at me with those dead eyes i remember from a long time ago.

i fake a smile and hold my hand out for them to shake. "perfect. if your sensei says yes i can't wait to join the dojo. i'm y/n." silver said a bubbly attitude will distract them, and then i'll shock them with my amazing black belt-level karate skills. his words not mine.

"i'm hawk, and this is demetri." hawk gestures next to him.

so that's where i know i'm from. i guess they hung out together while this "hawk" guy got bullied. they both shake my hand and lead me farther into the backyard for a tour.

as they are showing me around i try to make conversation. "hawk you said? i thought your name was eli, is it not?"

"it's hawk." he doubles down, but with no emotion in his voice. i could tell he didn't want to show me around or meet me. i sigh quietly and roll my eyes when they weren't looking.

when they were done with the backyard tour, they lead me into the small building, which happened to be a  dojo with a small mat in the middle. in the middle of that mat, stood a man who was stretching.

demetri got his attention by coughing loudly. the man quickly turned around, and there he was. the man my grandpa wouldn't stop talking about. the man who is the entire reason i'm here today. daniel larusso.

he flashes a quick smile at demetri and grabs his water bottle from the ground next to him, taking a quick sip before walking over to the three of us.

"and who's this" he says questioning us. god, his voice is just as annoying as his face. no wonder my family hates him so much.

"this is y/n," hawk says, pausing for a second to gesture his hand over to me, "she wants to join the dojo and hopefully be a black belt in karate."

i wanted to correct them, but if i told them i'm already a black belt, they would get suspicious and ask where i trained. luckily my dad told me to say, only if they ask, that i trained karate outside of the valley in a small town.

"welcome y/n, i think you will be a great fit into this dojo. let's do some quick paperwork and we can start with some cleanup work around the garden"

PRESENT DAY

today i was eating lunch out back near the pond which i do everyday. the sound of the water flowing, the greenery all around me, and the decorations scattered throughout the backyard calms me down from all the stress i've been under lately. with hiding the biggest secret from my peers, and training in secret with my grandpa, this is the one place i can go to relax. i was waiting for sensei larusso to get here so we can practice more blocks and defense that he said i needed to work on. i had already mastered them, but i had to pretend to be a beginner at karate.

the gate creaked open. i expected it to be daniel, but instead it was many of the myagi do students. they sprinted up to me with a concerned look on their face, which worried me. had they figured me out? is something wrong with daniel?

"i know you're in the middle of your lunch but we need to talk to you. it's very important." samantha said, in a very confrontational tone i've ever heard come from her before. she's the only person i like in this dojo. while she's the daughter of my grandfathers arch nemesis, she's the only person i can be real around and tell everything to. almost everything.

as i put my lunch to the side and take of gulp of my water. all the teenagers including robby, sam, hawk, miguel and 2 other students surround me. not in a 'i'm about to beat you up' kind of surround but more of an 'i know your biggest secret and we are about to expose you' kind of surround. both were bad but i prefer getting beat up to getting exposed for my secrets any day.

i start sweating and i could feel my heart beating super fast in my chest. from an outside perspective, someone could definitely tell i was stressed that i'm about to get caught.

robby sits next to me on the rocks and asks in a soft but very angry and confrontational tone, "why are you hanging out with silver all the time?" he asks that question like he wants me to answer, but i could tell they already knew and was trying to see if i could admit to my faults.

"i-" i stutter and choke on my own words as i try to form a sentence, but my dry mouth is preventing me from even getting a word out. "i don't know what you guys are talking about."

sam hands me her phone that she was holding that was open to the photos app and i look at each of the photos very closely. they were photos of me and my grandfather together. training, eating dinner together, and him dropping me off at school. i was in deep shit now if they have rock hard evidence that i'm his daughter.

i hand the phone to robby, keeping my head down towards the ground in hopes they can't see me freaking out. eventually i look up towards robby and he looks disappointed and angry.

"we know what you are hiding, and we have lots of evidence to back it up." he shoves the phone back into my hands.

hawk start explaining what they saw and how when they looked up y/n y/l/n on google, nothing came up. but when they tried y/n silver in the google search bar there were hundreds of pop-ups from my old schools, public government documents, my dads facebook and instagram, photos of me cleaning around silvers house, and even my private instagram that i had thought i deleted months before this.

even though, with all the evidence stacked up against me, i didn't want to confess or give in. being a secret cobra kai for so long taught me to never back down from a fight, even when you know you are about to loose. hit them with something they didn't know coming.

i spat out a lie, "i work for my gr-" i almost say grandpa, but i managed to restrain myself and keep the truth behind my lips. "i work for silver. i clean his house and he trains with me, takes me to school, and brings we out to dinner."

their faces drop, almost in realization but they stop themselves from being sympathetic and form their again. (a/n: yk what i mean? like their face is sympathetic for a second but then realize i'm lying and start being angry again- does that make sense?)

"why?" demetri says

i realize that if i explain to demetri in a calm and reassuring way that i could convince him that i'm not lying and he would be on my side, therefore convincing everyone else.

"truth is," i pause. "i needed the money. being one of the poorest people in the valley, working for silver and getting six thousand dollars a day is everything i hoped for to provide for my family."

i lie, obviously im not poor. my dad is fucking terry silver. hopefully saying i'm poor makes them feel sorry for me. that was the story my grandfather told me to say when they tried to uncover my true identity or past. i hoped that they would believe it, or else all this would be for nothing and the entire plan would be ruined.

miguel sighs, annoyed and robby rolls his eyes, very aggressively as if he wanted me to see him.

"we know that's not true," miguel starts. his arms are crossed and i could tell his patience is running low. he leans down very close to my face very confidently. "just tell us the truth and we'll leave you alone and won't expose you to anyone else and ruin your reputation."

what reputation? if i walk over to cobra kai i would be more than welcomed into the dojo.

i groan, wanting nothing more than to disappear off the face of this earth forever to to teleport out if this situation. my eyes are welling up with fake tears and i start silently crying to myself. my grandfather gave me all these instructions on how to convince everyone i was not the daughter of terry silver, but all the evidence they had built up and laid out in front of me was overwhelming and it was hard to back out of this. my dad taught me to never cry but i think that this situation calls for some fake tears.

i look up at everyone and a small hiccup comes out of my mouth. i thought that my crying and my sad look would make everyone feel guilty and empathize with me. maybe even regret what they said and stop confronting me. however, looking up at them, they don't switch their attitudes or fall for my fake-ish feelings. they still look angry. miguel looks pissed, and so does hawk. i look over at demetri and he does look angry too, but i could tell a little side of him sympathizes with me as he makes a small frown.

should i tell them everything? should i fight them? should i push past them and flee? i weigh my options and how likely i was to succeed. i decided with the second option. i plan out who i'm going to "beat up" first. i get up slowly like im about to spit the truth and punch hawk in the nose. he looks back up me with a bloody nose and a bruise that's already forming. tears were forming in his eyes from all the pain. "what the fuck!?" he yelled.

Everyone looked surprised and shocked that i would do something like that. maybe the person they know, but the real me would love to break someone's nose everyday if i could, without the consequences.

after punching hawks nose i realized that 1 agaisnt 6 would be almost impossible but i would try my best. silver told me to never back down from a fight, so i decide to keep pushing. i roundhouse kick hawk and turn my body to tornado kick sam who was in the opposite direction of hawk. therefore i had a good advantage and it came together in one smooth and nice motion. she stumbles back but regains her strength easily and punches me back in the chest. i axe kick her leg and she grabs her leg in pain falling to the ground. miguel runs over to her helping her back up.

i turn back to hawk and i kick his dominant knee, the one he uses to kick with the most. i hear a small crack, nothing too serious, so hopefully that will prevent him from kicking me or at least not as hard since he only has his non dominant leg left.

however, robby grabs my arms from behind and im stuck. "why did you betray us?" we whispers in my ear. i don't pay attention to him and with only my legs free and 2 myagi do students approaching me fast, i jump and double front kick their jaws hard enough to knock them out for a while and they fall to the ground. i look over to see sam slowly getting up and miguel running towards me.

as i try to escape from robby's hard grasp, i back kick robby in the abdomen and he lets go of my hands as i turn around and sweep kick him onto the ground, slamming my foot onto his chest hard and onto his ankle. i bend down and whisper into robby's ear like he did mine, "i didn't betray anyone. i'm on no one's side." miguel is still a little ways away so to shock him and gain distance fast i cartwheel kick him in the chest and he falls backwards onto sam, pushing them both over.

hawk returns to me from the ground low heel sweep kick which knocks me off my feet. i kick hawk with both of my legs together and jump up back onto my feet. i perform one of robby's signature jump kick sweep, which he taught me when i first joined. he stumbles back, but i can't think of any other tricks i know. i only remember one other move, one of the most dangerous tricks in the book that silver had taught me early on in my trainings. he claims it "literally takes their breath away" which i had never seen in real time before. i get into position and hit hawk in the chest with the silver bullet. it knocks the breath out of him and he cannot breathe for a good while. that should let me focuse on taking down sam and miguel.

i walk over to the both of them who had just gotten up and who are both ready to fight. sam roundhouse kicks my under my arm, which during a tournament would get her a point but in the real world only does so much damage.

that's the difference between myagi do and cobra kai. myagi do is for little kids who only want to compete in tournaments. daniel taught us moves that would get you more points in the all valley, but silver teaches us real world dangerous and damaging moves that students can use if they are in actual trouble.

i do a jumping spinning axe kick and get down on my knee to leg sweep her. i swiftly get back into a fighting position, and while miguel glances over at sam, i use that distraction to front kick him and continuously throw punches, jabs, hooks, and uppercuts.

when everyone is down or badly hurt i use this time to run out the gate, into the front yard and book it back to my house. hopefully they don't tell daniel about this, but that couldn't be the least of my worries right now. what would i tell grandpa? how would he react?
