SAM SMILES NOTICING LUNA placing her bag inside ready to begin a little training session.

Luna winces strolling out towards the others seeing Demetri knock Chris roughly onto the ground with a pained groan.

"Good hit, man." Chris voices, "Yeah." Demetri responds helping him off the grass.

"Good. Again." Sam orders receiving looks of disbelief from the other students.

"Guys, we have to be ready to fight." Luna firmly states getting nods of understanding from everyone before all of their faces turn away with scare expressions.

"What are you two doing?" Amanda questions standing at the sliding door with a disappointed look on her face.

"Uh, would you believe, study group?" Demetri quizzes with a wince seeing glaring at both himself, Luna and Sam.

"Go home. All of you. Now!" Amanda demands loudly hearing the rest of the students sigh at the thought of no more karate.

"What part of 'no more karate' did you both not understand?" Amanda wonders standing in-front of Luna and Sam blocking their way inside.

"Seems pretty straightforward." Anthony shrugs receiving scowls of both of his sisters.

"The part where you and Dad decide that for Luna and I." Sam mutters.

"They do pay the bills. As long as you live under their roof." Anthony says.

"What about school? Principal Lopez called. Think you can ignore their rules too?" Amanda quizzes looking at Sam since Luna wasn't involved in that whole soccer incident.

Anthony smirks finding all of this super amusing meeting Luna's glare and looking at the ground with a nervous gulp.

"What, the soccer game? That was nothing." Sam mumbles, "It's not nothing, Sam. You could've got suspended again." Amanda responds.

"Thought you were smarter. Very disappointed in you." Anthony smugly says.

"Oh, shush." Luna snaps suddenly over all of his taunting, "Got it." Anthony utters backing down sensing the way Luna's anger is rising.

"Go wait in the car, Anthony." Amanda suggests also annoyed, Anthony leaves the three girls alone to do as his mother told him.

Luna stands with her arms crossed looking at her adoptive mother, "Look, Luna. Sam, I don't know what's going on with you two..." Amanda voices walking closer to her two daughters.

"No. You don't." Sam snaps stomping off leaving Luna standing with their mother now.

"Look Mom, if you really think karate is the problem. Then you have not been paying attention." Luna explains walking into the small house grabbing her bag and walking towards her vehicle out the front of Miyagi-Do's dojo.

—————

LUNA PARKS HER CAR with a smile, "How was physiotherapy?" Luna questions watching the therapist leaving Miguel's apartment complex.

"Eh. Alright." Miguel responds with shrug, "You'll get there, Migs." Luna mumbles walking beside Miguel as he pushes the wheels to the wheelchair closer to his apartment.

Luna flinches feeling a magazine hit her head, "Jesus!" Luna exclaims looking up at the second balcony seeing Johnny Lawrence holding a magazine on a fishing rod in-front of Miguel and her.

"What's this?" Miguel questions confused, "This is a collection of the tastiest babes of 1988. And you're not gonna get to see 'em unless you grab it." Johnny states making Luna grimace looking at the magazine.

"Okay." Miguel responds reaching up trying to grab onto the collection of paper.

"I'm just gonna stand over here." Luna explains motioning over at Miguel's apartment standing outside the window watching Miguel trying to grab Johnny's magazine off the line.

"Ugh. Gonna have to try harder than that." Johnny exclaims moving the rod up and down away from Miguel's reach.

"You know I can find these pictures on my phone, right?" Miguel quizzes.

"It's not the same. Chicks are hotter on the page." Johnny says.

"Hold on. Who says the word chicks anymore? We aren't baby chickens." Luna  exclaims from underneath the balcony.

"Shush. Mini LaRusso!" Johnny responds, "Azalea-LaRusso!" Luna snaps stepping out to glare at the father of her boyfriend.

Johnny chuckles looking at the annoyed brunette before looking back at Miguel's amused face.

"But you won't know unless you get off your butt. Or you can keep getting foot rubs from that pansy-ass therapist." Johnny voices.

"He got you there, Migs." Luna shrugs in response, "Okay." Miguel responds smirking reaching up trying to grab the magazine.

"Weak! That all you got, Diaz? I thought you were the All Valley champ?" Johnny quizzes continuing to move the magazine up and down trying to make Miguel stretch out of the wheelchair.

Luna gasps hearing Miguel groan falling out of the chair, "Oh my god." Luna exclaims rushing to Miguel's aid—also not wanting to overwhelm him.

"You all right?" Johnny asks coming out from the staircase, "Yeah." Miguel sighs.

"All right. Luna and I got you, bud. Here we go." Johnny mumbles looking at Luna who nods helping lift Miguel into the wheelchair again.

"You sure you're alright?" Luna asks leaning down closer to the Diaz male.

"Yeah, Lulu. I'm alright." Miguel confirms lifting his legs into the footrests of the wheelchair.

"All right. Gimme a minute and we'll go again. I still have my Vanna White Playboy, that'll get you going." Johnny states.

"Gross." Luna scoffs in response glaring at the man who shrugs not understanding the problem.

"Don't you get it? You could dangle a new PlayStation, I still wouldn't be able to stand up." Miguel snaps sadly beginning to wheel himself back into his apartment.

Luna huffs standing up completely beside Johnny, "Um. Have you heard from or seen Robby?" Johnny questions looking at his son's girlfriend beside.

"I've seen him and spoke to him." Luna confirms looking ahead towards Miguel's apartment, "Is he okay?" Johnny wonders.

"Ask him yourself." Luna responds walking away from Johnny towards the Diaz apartment to hang out and try to uplift Miguel's mood a little bit.

After hanging out with Miguel and cheering him up a little bit, making sure she left while there was a smile clearly shown on Miguel's face to the point that he joins Johnny back outside to work on some techniques to start walking again.

Luna arrives home walking into her house grabbing a nice cold water from the fridge and walking past Anthony seated on the couch—making sure to mess up his styled hair in typical annoying sister fashion.

"Stop!" Anthony mutters shoving Luna's hands away from his hair watching as Luna walks into her studio after a while of not painting.

Luna sighs standing at the blank canvas and finally applies paint to canvas finally getting into the zone of relaxation allowing the stroke of the paintbrush to calm her down.

"Luna! Oh wow." Sam shouts walking into the studio seeing the piece her adoptive sister is working on.

"You okay?" Luna asks frowning since Sam rushed into the studio with a pissed off expression on her face.

"Cobra Kai is harassing Chris at work." Sam explains, "Oh, shit. Let's go!" Luna snarls taking off her overalls rushing out of the house with Sam beside her so they can go and save Chris's job at the arcade.

—————

DEMETRI, SAM, LUNA AND some other Miyagi-Do students strut into Golf n Stuff arcade meeting Chris just outside the prize collection point.

"Where are they?" Sam asks, "They snuck into the old laser tag place next door." Chris explains, "How many?" Luna questions.

"Four of 'em. Lulu, Atlas is one of them." Chris states seeing the dark look spread across Luna's face at the mention of her old best friend.

"And I'm guessing the trouble maker of it all, Hawk—as well?" Luna mutters receiving a nod off Chris.

"Five of us. I like our odds." Sam utters, "Are you sure we should be doing this?" Demetri quizzes.

"We're not on school property. This is our chance to fight back." Sam mutters walking off towards the laser tag.

Luna stops walking taking notice of Atlas at one of the vending machines getting himself a drink, "You guys go." Luna states.

"Wait why?" Sam questions confused, "Because, one of them is standing right here and I wanna distract him." Luna explains motioning to Atlas.

"Good idea!" Sam responds before continuing walking with the others towards where Hawk and the other Cobra Kai members are.

—————

ATLAS PLACES THE MONEY in the vending machine picking out his drink of choice sensing a presence behind him.

"I'm not here to fight, okay?" Atlas explains holding up his hands in surrender seeing Luna standing behind him with a glare upon her pretty face.

"Yeah, but you're here to torment someone who's only doing their job!" Luna snaps.

"I didn't have anything to do with that! That was all Hawk and the others" Atlas states.

"Yeah right. You're just as much as an asshole as Hawk." Luna scoffs in response.

"Luna, we were best friends once. I wouldn't lie to you!" Atlas snaps walking off towards where Hawk and the others are hearing Luna jogging after him.

"What the fuck!" Atlas shouts seeing the mess in the laser tag arcade.

"When did Tory get here?" Luna quizzes shocked looking around the game arcade for her adoptive sister.

"Stop! Oh my god. This isn't needed!" Luna shouts rushing towards Hawk holding a groaning Demetri on the floor.

Atlas grabs ahold of Luna stopping her from getting involved—or worse injured seeing the look of rage and guilt flashing through Hawk's eyes.

All while Tory and the others—minus himself shout for Hawk to do it.

Luna gasps horrified seeing what Hawk's plan is, "We'll go! Oh my god! Stop! He's your friend Eli!" Luna exclaims growing teary eyed.

Eli looks over at Luna and for a moment, Luna swears she sees the boy behind all of the fury and rage make an appearance before the stone cold expression comes back upon his face.

"Hawk, finish him!" Tory orders, "Please, don't do this." Luna whimpers not wanting someone to get hurt.

"Do it. Now!" Atlas shouts still holding a thrashing Luna in a tight hold.

Luna gasps taking a step back out of Atlas's arms hearing the sound of Demetri's bone crunch and said males screams echoing the arcade area.

"Damn it!" Demetri curses grunting through the agonising pain in his arm.

Luna rushes towards Demetri on the floor holding on her friend trying to sooth the pain.

"Pussy." Tory scoffs amused faltering seeing the look of dark venom in Luna's eyes.

"I've got you. Just breathe for me, Dem." Luna says trying to encourage Demetri through the pain.

Hawk looks at his old best friend groaning on the ground in shock and despair letting his dojo friends hype him up along with Atlas who does their hand shake before smiling at Tory.

"Good job on distracting her." Tory says, "It was a pleasure." Atlas responds shooting Luna a taunting wink.

"This isn't over, LaRusso! See you soon, Luna" Tory exclaims blowing Luna a kiss walking out beside Atlas who wraps an arm around her shoulders laughing with the other Cobra Kai members.

Luna looks around trying to find Sam in the chaos that just occurred seeing her whimpering in tears hidden away.

"Get the fuck out of here!" Luna snarls meeting Hawk's almost guilty eyes.

Said male snaps of his thoughts hearing Demetri's sobs from the ground while Luna exhales panicked dialling nine-one-one to help her injured friend.

Not even noticing Hawk run out of the laser tag arcade meeting up with Atlas and Tory—who both continue hyping him up.

"I've got you," Luna soothes rubbing her fingertips along Demetri's sweaty forehead.

"An ambulance is coming." Luna explains through her own tears looking up seeing Chris join them on the floor.

"You got him?" Luna questions receiving a shocked nod from Chris.

"Thanks." Luna mumbles swallowing her anxiety and rushing towards Sam hearing her sobbing hysterically in the corner.

"Sammy, you're alright. They're gone," Luna explains bending down to be in Sam's view.

"Come on." Luna says offering her adoptive sister her hand walking out of the arcade letting the paramedics—who have arrived do their jobs and help the injured sobbing boy onto the gurney to take him to hospital.

—————

SITTING IN THE HOSPITAL, Luna gulps hating the memories of being in this exact waiting room a few months ago.

Sam hugs herself while placing her head on Luna's shoulder needing her adoptive sister's comfort right now.

"Another karate fight? What the hell were you two thinking?" Amanda shouts.

Luna looks up at her mother hearing the gasp Amanda lets out seeing Luna's mascara stained cheeks, "Mom." Sam sobs.

"Oh. My babies." Amanda says realising something more than a fight happened with the state her two daughters are in.

"Lulu. Sam, baby. You okay?" Amanda questions worriedly placing her hands on both Luna and Sam's face wiping away their tears.

"They broke Demetri's arm." Luna mumbles with a whimper, "We just wanted to show that we couldn't be bullied." Sam cries out loudly making Amanda bring both of them in for hugs forgetting about being angry at them.

"It's all right. It's gonna be all right. It's okay. It's gonna be okay." Amanda says holding onto both of her daughters hearing both of them crying.

"I didn't do anything to help. Lulu did more than me. I couldn't stop them." Sam explains through her tears grabbing a hold of Luna's hand since she saw it all happened up close.

Luna sniffles seeing and hearing Demetri's bone break repeatedly while she did nothing but be held back by someone who tried to distract her as her friends were being attacked brutally.
