ONCE JUNE SAT ACROSS from Kreese, he told some story about Sensei Lawerence and how he never gave up. June didn't care much for his story, though. "You should tell that to someone who cares." June states, crossing her arms over her chest.

    "Come on, kid. You know you don't deserve to be here. You followed the principals of Cobra Kai." Kreese says, June scoffs at him. "Cobra Kai's what got me here in the first place. If this is your way of trying to get me to come back, you're wasting your time. I'm done with karate. It ruined my life." She explains, whispering her last statement.

    "Sure, you can keep beating yourself up for what went down. But by the look of your face, there's plenty of people here happy to do that for you. You shouldn't worry though, your brother said the same thing. And he came back, only after a couple arrangements." Kreese states, cigar in his hand. June's interest is peaked when he mentions Wyatt.

    "What you mean arrangements?" She questions, looking at him curiously. "Well, your landlord is quite the domineering figure."

    "You know my landlord?"

    "Oh, yeah. I made a little house visit. I'm sorry about your grandmother." Kreese spoke, June's jaw hardening at him mentioning Hae.

    "Now, your brother, he just wanted to keep you out of harms way. I do too. Maybe from this landlord." Junes breath shutters, an old memory resurfacing. The girls eyes begin to water as the memory keeps on replaying in head.

Kreese notices the girls sudden mood change, and questions to himself if this shitty landlord ever did anything to her. "Did he do something to you?"

June takes a deep breath, trying to control her panicking mind. She glances up towards the man, "Let's just say, this guy liked to take care of children. In...different ways." June hints, knowing that Kreese got what she was trying to say. "He's not gonna hurt you anymore. I'll make sure of it." Kreese assures the girl, who nods at him.

    "Thank you."

SAWYER AND SAM, we're leading class at the dojo. Demetri had just landed a hit on Chris, knocking him to the ground. He helps the boy up, "Good hit, man."

"Good. Again." Sawyer states, "We have to be ready to fight."

Demetri and Chris get ready to fight again, but are interrupted by Amanda and Anthony. "What do you think you're doing?"

The kids all look towards her, "Uh... would you believe... study group?" Demetri tries to defend but fails. "Go home. All of you. Now!" Amanda states, before turning towards her daughters. "So what part of 'no more karate' did you not understand?" Amanda questions, crossing her arms.

"Seems pretty straightforward." Anthony adds, the teens both glancing at him and then back to their mother. "The part where you and Dad think you can decide that for us." Sam states, Anthony decides to butt in again. "They do pay the bills as long as your under their roof."

"What about school? Principal Lopez called me. Think you can just ignore their rules too?" Amanda spoke, firmly. "What, the soccer game? That was nothing." Sawyer says, shaking her head.

"It's not nothing. You could have gotten suspended again." Amanda states, "Thought you were smarter than that. Very disappointed in you." Anthony adds.

Amanda sends the boy away, Sam gets annoyed with the conversation and storms off. Amanda turns back to her other daughter in front of her. "Look, Sawyer, I don't know what's going on with you—"

"No, you don't." Sawyer interrupts, "Is case you haven't noticed, karate isn't the problem." Amanda sighs, "So, what is the problem?"

"I... I see her. Everywhere. I feel scared, and powerless. It's like I can hear her voice in my head," Sawyers breath waivers, as tears threaten to fall from her eyes. "Oh, honey." Amanda says, pulling her daughter into a hug. Sawyer wraps her arms tightly around her mothers waist, quietly sobbing into her chest.

——

JUNE FELT CONFLICTED, she didn't want to be the one to strike first, but it was all she knew in terms of any type of fighting. She had continued to think about what Kreese said, maybe she didn't actually belong in here, maybe she wasn't the villain everyone thought she was.

Valerie had continued to mess with her, from knocking her food out of her hands, shoving her shoulder when they walked past each other. She was tired of it all. She wasn't going to be some toy for Valerie to play around with.

June was going to strike first.

Valerie happened to be sitting alone in the break room. June walks in, the two girls making eye contact. "What's up? You want something?" Valerie questions, but still with her guard up.

June shrugs, walking a few steps away from her but stops and decides that this her time to strike while her back is turned. June steps back behind Valerie and quickly shoves the girls' head down onto the table in front of her.

Valerie groans, picking her head back up. She turns around to see who shoved her, and quickly lunges after June, taking both of them to the ground.

Valerie lands a punch on June's cheek, but is kicked in the stomach by the girl. All of June's anger had all built up until now. She stands over the girl laying on the ground holding her stomach, with revenge and anger in her eyes, June starts to kick Valerie harshly in the stomach multiple times.

Willow, Addie, and Pop had seen the fight from the other room and quickly ran over to the two girls. They all pulled June away from Valerie, she then collapses to her knees, quiet sobs escaping her lips.

The three girls are confused at the girls sudden change of drastic emotions. "June. What happened?" Willow questions, rubbing the girls arm in comfort. "Are you okay?" Pop asks, as June wraps her arms around Willow, her head laying into the other girls' chest. Willow wraps her arms around the crying girl, in comfort.

    MASON HAD gone out for a walk that morning and once home opened the door to see Miguel sitting in the floor with some sort of harness around him and a rope hanging front when ceiling. "Why do you look like a giant baby?" Mason questions, Miguel gives Johnny a look of I told you so as the man sits in the couch handing the teens both a soda.

    Mason peers over Miguel's shoulder noticing the very long message on the computer. "You writing a novel?" Miguel questions. "Oh. No, it's a Facebook message."

    "That's a message? To who?" Mason asks, furrowing his brows. "I, uh... babe from high school." Johnny says, popping open his beer. "Ali."

    Miguel looks shocked, "Ali? Like the Ali?" Johnny nods.

    "Who is Ali?"

    "This girl I dated in high school." Johnny answers, "Well if you want her back, that message isn't gonna work." Mason advises.

    Johnny gives his son a look, "How would you know? You've never had a girlfriend." Mason places a hand on his heart in fake hurt. "I do actually get girls. Thank you. And I did have a girlfriend in second grade." Miguel chuckles.

    "Okay, she says she wants to know what you've been up to. This is good, we can salvage this. Let's just make you a kick-ass profile. You'll be sending your message from a position of strength." Miguel says, getting the two back on track. "Do you have any photos?"

    "Photos?" Johnny nodded. "Yeah, I do. Don't move." He stood up and walked away, laughing to himself.

     "Heh, I said don't move."

——-

AT THE LARUSSO HOUSE, Daniel and Amanda had been waiting for Sam and Sawyer to come out in the morning. The two girls walk around the corner to see both of them sitting at the table, "Morning, girls. Why don't you have a seat." Amanda spoke softly.

    "I brewed up some of that tea that I brought back from Okinawa." Daniel states, pouring some tea in two cups, while the girls sit down across from them.

    "You guys are being weird. What's going on?" Sawyer questions, "Well your mom and I have been talking about how to deal with Cobra Kai."

    "Really?" Sam asks, she doesn't much of an answer though. "Look, I'm sorry that I got so upset with you guys for training the other kids. I didn't realize what you guys were dealing with." Amanda apologizes. "Your mom and I are trying to handle it but with all you're going through at school with those bullies, we want to make sure you know how to defend yourself."

    Sam looks at them confused, "So, what are you saying?"

    "Your dad's gonna reopen Miyagi-Do." Amanda states, "And I'm 100 percent on board." The two girls look at each other warily. "So, what do you say? Ready to get back into action?" Daniel asks, a small smile on his face. Sam gets up and starts to walk away without a word. Sawyer follows her sister just shaking her head. "Girls. Sam, wait. Hey." Daniel calls following the two girls. "What's going on?" He questions, as the two girls turn to face him.

    "We're not doing karate anymore, okay?" Sawyer states as the two girls storm off.

——

    DANIEL TOOK the girls to the lake for the day. The three sat on boat in the water, "This isn't so bad is it?" Daniel spoke, his daughters hadn't said much to him on the way there, but he wasn't giving up. "Guess it beats going to school." Sam says, blankly.

    "Something about the quiet... the sound of the water... it always seems to just help. I thought we all could use a little bit of that today." Daniel says, "Is that why we're out here?" Sawyer asks.

    "I also thought we could catch some dinner for tonight." Daniel says, handing the two fishing rods. "It's a little rusty." Sam says, looking at the rod. "Yeah. Well, so am I."

    "The trick to fishing out here is to get the line into the deep water away from the boat. It's all in the cast." Daniel states, casting the line out into the lake. Sam goes to follow his movements, turning her body outwards. "All right, get your shoulder back. Bend you elbows, let her fly."

    Sam casts the rod, it going out pretty far. Sawyer follows the twos movements casting her rod in the other direction. "Do you remember the last time we were out here together?" Daniel asks, turning toward the two teens.

    "It was with Mr. Miyagi. He causing that fish that was so big Mom was afraid to cook it for dinner." Sam states, reminiscing on the past memories with the man that acted like a grandfather to the girls.

     "Pretty sure we ended up ordering a pizza." Daniel pauses, "That was the day we taught you two how to balance on the bow of the boat. Not that we needed to, we couldn't knock you off to save our lives." The girls both smirk at the memory, still proud of their accomplishment.

     "Wanna give it another shot for old times' sake? What do you say?" Daniel smiles, while his daughters smirks drop. Sawyer scoffs, shaking her head. "I knew it."

    "You knew what?"

    "Is that why you brought us here? To trick us into doing karate?" Sawyer snaps at their father. "What? No, not at all. This has nothing to do with that. I just wanted to spend that day together." He defends.

    "I told you, Dad, we quit karate." Sam states. "Please, just help me to understand why. I wanna help." Daniel pleads, "I doesn't matter, you can't help." Sawyer states, not daring to look at him.

    "I can't if you don't tell me what's going on. Be honest with me." Sawyer finally turns towards him. "We froze, okay. I watched my friends get hurt. I watched Demetri get his arm broken, and I couldn't do anything. And now I'm having all of these panic attacks, and I don't if I'm ever going to be able to defend myself again." Sam explains, her eyes starting to water. Sawyer just looks down, feeling the same emotions as her sister.

    "I'm so sorry, Sam."

    "Just take me home."

——

     LATER, JUNE was laying in bed, just thinking of everything. What was it going to be like when she got out? Her three months were almost up, she would be out of this hellhole soon. June was going to miss Willow, Addie, and Pop, hopefully she would get to see them again. Her unsolved question was, would anybody still accept her back home?

    June's thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone awfully close to her bed. She looks up to see Valerie looming over her, but only for a split second because she was berated with a series of punches to the face. The next thing she knew her body was limp and somehow now on the ground. Valerie had been mercilessly beat June up, sending multiple very hard kicks to both her stomach and back.

    June thought she heard Willow pleading for the girl to stop. Pop even called out for any of the guards to help stop the raging girl.

    After about another thirty seconds, Valerie had finally stopped and bent down to whisper in June's ear. "This is what you get, bitch." The girl finally leaves the cell. June groans weakly, trying to move but is in too much pain to do so.

    ——

    THE TWO TEENS definitely didn't expect to be doing a whole photo shoot with Johnny. They we're in an art gallery as the blonde posed for photos in front of the paintings. "You're not supposed to touch it." Mason sighed, before a security guard came over and kicked them out.

    Next was this graffiti wall which Johnny stood in front of, Mason still didn't understand why they were doing this but it seemed like his dad was having fun.

    Next was a sushi place next, Johnny had a plate of dragon rolls in front of him, stabbing a chopstick into it. "That's not you how you-" Mason shakes his head. "What is this? It smells like shit." Johnny says, with a disgusted face. Miguel explains what's in the roll.

     "Just try to have an open mind." Miguel says, hopelessly. Johnny held it up to his mouth as Miguel snapped a couple pictures, Johnny tried to eat it but spit it back out after they had gotten the pictures.

    "I'm gonna go wash this shit out of my mouth." Johnny said, standing up and walking inside.

    A familiar face appeared around the corner, Tory stood there, surprised to see the two guys together. "What are you guys doing here?"

    "Tory." Miguel spoke slowly.

     "You know what? I'm gonna go use the restroom." Mason says awkwardly getting up.

——

    AT COBRA KAI, the students had noticed the group of teens walk into the dojo. "Class. Welcome our new students. Mitch walked up to them, confidently, "I'm gonna call you guys... Chodenose and Taintbreath."

    "What the hell did you just say?" One of them asks, defensively. Wyatt later found out that his name was Kyler, and used to be one of Hawks biggest bullies. "Oh, uh, nothing. It's just a thing we do around here sometimes." Mitch starts to explain, the other teen slowly walking closer to him.

    "Everyone, fall in." Kreese announces, everybody lining up in their spots, Wyatt, Tory, and Hawk taking their places in the front row. "Joining Cobra Kai is a privilege. Not a gift. Which is why our recruits must earn their position in this dojo. Prepare yourselves for combat. Only the strong will survive."

    Kyler and his friends were talking about Hawk and laughing until Kreese announced, "Let the games begin." He walks over to Kyler, pointing towards him. Kreeese turns around and chuckles as he gestures to Mitch.

    Kyler had won he fought by taking Mitch down to the mat. But Kreese kicks Mitch out for losing to an untrained fighter.

    Tory had gone against this very intimidating looking girl, but beat her anyway, even breaking one of the girls' teeth. Wyatt looks over to the Tory after she walks back to her spot next to him. A small smile appears on his face as he looks at her, she notices his gaze and looks at him in question. "What are you smiling at?"

    Wyatt shrugs, "You're just really amazing." He gushed, a smile tugging at Tory's lips.

    "Seok." Kreese called, snapping both Wyatt and Tory out of the trance they seemed to be in. "Yes, Sensei."

    "How badly do you want to win?" Kreese questions the boy. "More than you know, Sensei." Wyatt states, determination in his eyes.

Kreese called over one of the new students over onto the mat. He looked back to Wyatt, "Then prove it."

Tory lightly hits the boys arm, getting the boys attention. "You remember that guy I punched in middle school?" She asks Wyatt.

He looks at her confused, "You've punched a lot of people, Tory."

Tory sighs, "I think he's that asshole bully." Wyatt looks back to the guy standing in the mat, his breath stops, once he realized that it really was him.

It was Brandon. The guy who harassed Wyatt and June back in middle school.

Wyatt walked out in the mat, trying to control his breathing. Brandon had a smirk on his face, confident that he was going to beat Wyatt. "Holy shit. Its Chinese boy." Brandon realizes, "Where's your sister? You know, I've always hoped to get some of that.". Wyatt didn't even get into a fighting position, full of anger, he charged forward, tackling the boy to the ground. Brandon didn't have time to counterattack as Wyatt immediately started aggressively punching the boy.

     Kreese had a small smirk on his face, somewhat proud of the boy. Tory took a step forward to maybe stop the boy, but Kreese put his hand out to stop her. "Let him finish."

    Wyatt was so full of anger, he didn't even realize what he'd done until he saw red, everywhere. He looked at his knuckles, they were covered in the boys blood. Wyatt stands up and stumbles back. He almost ran out of the dojo, but then he saw the proud look on Kreese's face, and walked back into his spot. All he wanted to do was please Kreese. "All right, class. I think we can call it a day. Somebody pick him up."

    Wyatt was shaking, he couldn't take his eyes off of the unconscious boy in the ground.
