    JOHNNY AND MASON had gotten Miguel back up and walking again, Johnny now wanted to open another separate dojo that was just his.

    "What about 'Johnny Lawerence Karate'? Or 'Strike Hard Karate'?" Miguel suggests, Mason shaking his head at all of the names, while Johnny was aimlessly staring at his messages with Ali. Miguel huffs sitting at the table with the two. "Come on, Sensei, I'm trying to think of name for our new dojo."

     "How long does it take for facebook messages to get delivered?" Johnny says, ignoring the teens. "Ali lives in Colorado, so probably a while, right?"

    "It's instantaneous." Mason deadpans, Johnny huffs, closing his laptop. "Okay, what about 'All American Karate'" Miguel suggests. Johnny shakes his head, "It's not good enough. We need something that tells everyone we're the most badass dojo in the Valley."

    "It sucks that Cobra Kai's such a badass name." Mason sighs, "What if we just keep that? But we spell cobra with a K. They can call us triple K." Johnny states, The teens furrowing their brows.

    "Like KKK?" Miguel questions. "Yeah, that's probably a bad idea. All right, whatever. We'll figure it out. First, we need some students."

    "It's my first day back at school today. I could do some recruiting. But where are we gonna train?" Miguel asks, standing up. "Let me worry about that"

    At school, Mason and Miguel were at the latters locker when Johnny suddenly came up to the two boys. "Sensei?" Miguel questions looking around. "How'd you get through security?" Mason questions, "I went to school here. Think I don't know all the secret ways in and out? Hey. Got some good news. Found us a pretty sweet spot for our new dojo. How's the recruiting coming?"

    Miguel's face drops, sighing. "That bad?" Johnny says, following the two teens down the hall. "It's just everything's changed, Sensei. Cobra Kai, they... They drank the Kool-Aid." Miguel explains. "Kool-Aid? What's wrong with Kool-Aid?" Johnny asks the boy, "It's just... Sensei Kreese is turning them into an army of assholes. There's no convincing them to leave." Miguel says, stopping the three in their tracks.

     Johnny looks behind the teens to see a group of Cobra Kai's down the hall and decide to talk to them.

——

    WYATT AND the other Cobra's, were at school hanging around the halls, just talking about nothing in particular. Johnny is walking up to them. What is he doing here? Wyatt thought, noticing the older man. "Okay, listen up!"

    The Cobras open up their circle to let Johnny, Mason and a newly walking Miguel, stand with them. "I screwed up. And I'm sorry. I made it about me. And that's not what a sensei does. I took the easy way out. I gave up. What happened here at this school... it rocked me to my core. I could not look myself in the eye, let alone face all of you."

    "Yeah. I guess it makes it easier to tell yourself that. But the truth is, you bailed on us long before the fight happened. You got soft. And we paid the price." Hawk spat, glaring at his former sensei. Johnny walks up to Hawk, their faces only inches apart. "Now, you listen up. When you came to my dojo, you were softer than a baby's ass. I made you what you are, not Kreese. He doesn't give a shit about you. About any of you!" Johnny shouts.

     "So, if you wanna keep whining about the past like a bunch of pussies, fine. We can play that game. Wanna stick with Kreese? Go ahead. Don't say I didn't warn you when your life ends up in the shitter. Or you could sack up, and join my dojo. Havenhurst and Magnolia, tomorrow at 4:00. If you wanna save yourselves, train the right way... you better be there." Johnny explains, walking down one of the halls. He knocks a kids books out of his hands. "Sorry, kid. Old habit."

    JUNE WAS getting released today. She was mostly happy about it, didn't have to deal with Valerie anymore. But she was going to miss Willow, Addie, and Poppy.

     On her way out, June was given warm hugs by the three girls, maybe she'll see them again eventually.

    June was secretly hoping that somebody was going to be there once she got out, but she wasn't counting on it. The officers lead her to the guarded door to the outside and handed back all of her stuff that was on her. "Go see your probation officer in the next week. You don't show, you end up back in here." One of the officers states. They stepped out of the way as June pushed the door open, a buzzing sound rings through her ears as the door opened. June looks around, that little bit of hope still in her quickly vanished, upon seeing nobody there to see her. She sighs and starts to head off home.

     It took awhile but June was finally back in Reseda, June didn't know if she could go back home yet. She then realizes how late it was the sun had set and nightfall had slowly risen and she knew one person would be delighted to see her even though she didn't really want to go there but it was better than at the moment.

    So, June strode quickly to the famous dojo, she knew Kreese stayed late every night to do his own workout. June stops in front of the dojo and tries to control her rapid breathing. Once she finally does, the girl steps towards the door and yanks it open, a soft bell on the door announcing her presence.

    "We're closed. Come back..." Kreese starts walking out of the back room, a towel wrapped around his neck. He stops in his tracks once seeing June standing there, a black backpack hanging off her shoulder, and still in the same clothes as before. "Tomorrow." Kreese finishes, a smirk appearing in his face.

    "Glad to see you showed up. But you should be at home." Kreese states, stepping onto the mat. "Why?" June questions. "I thought you were done with karate. What are doing here?" The girl looks down, slightly guilty. "I don't know yet. Just haven't had the courage to go home yet. I just... I didn't really want to go back." Kreese nods, he thought about how when he came back from Vietnam he didn't know where to go, Kreese didn't want June to feel the same way.

    "You can stay here for the night, if you want. Just go back home in the morning." June nods in response, and as a thanks. "I figured you'd be back."

    June sighs, looking down, but quickly glares back up at him. "Yeah? I'm that predictable, huh?"

     Kreese's hands drop to his sides, "No. I figure you've got all that built up anger right now, from all of the people who wronged you."

    June simply looks away from the sensei, jaw clenched, knowing that he was right. "Now you just have to use that anger, channel it. Be the biggest threat against your enemies."

——

    THE NEXT MORNING, after Wyatt had gotten up, he heard the front door rattling. His eyes widen, stopping in his tracks. The door knob keeps rattling as Wyatt slowly creeps closer to his bedroom door. He peaks through the small crack, seeing nobody around. The knob stops rattling, Wyatt reaches to open his door, the boys nose scrunching up as he tries to stop the creaking of his bedroom door.

    The boy takes a deep breath, as he sees the knob on the main door start to turn. The door fully opens as Wyatt jumps out of his room, screaming, landing in a fighting position.

    His screaming stops realizing it was June finally coming home. His mouth hung open in shock, she was standing in front him, like actually in person. He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he saw the girl, she hadn't told her when she was getting out, heck June probably didn't even know.

     June stood there awkwardly, shifting on her feet as she just stared at the shocked boy. "Hi." She spoke softly, trying to break him out of this trance. Wyatt shakes his head, probably still confused on how she was here. "How do I know your the real June?" The girls' face drops, "Seriously? You're sister just came home and your questioning my credibility."

    Wyatt shrugs, "You didn't tell me anything,  didn't say why you left really. I mean... you just ran away... without me." The girls face was full of guilt and lots of regret. "I'm sorry. I know it doesn't mean shit, but I'm sorry I left, didn't want you to get in trouble. It's all my fault."

    Wyatt slowly walks to his sister and slowly wraps his arms around her. June soon follows, tightly hugging the boy, burying her head into the crick of his neck.

    "당신이 그리웠어요" ( I missed you.)

    "나도 네가 그리웠어, 멍청아" (I missed you too, dumbass.)

——

    LATER THAT DAY, Johnny was teaching his new dojo at a public park. "This is day one. We've been here before. But things are different now. They tried to tear us down. It didn't work! They said we needed a roof and four walls. Screw that! This park... will be our new dojo. 'Cause you don't need a dojo to be a dojo! Is that understood?"Johnny lectures, " Yes, Sensei!"

    Johnny looked between his students, Miguel and Mason both stood at the front with Bert and Mitch.  "I started Cobra Kai with one nerd. This is a step up. And if we're gonna be taken seriously, we need a name that commands respect. A name that elicits power and dominance. Cobras are strong. They may be the king of the jungle, but the world's more than just a jungle. And there's only one animal... that can kill a snake."

    "A mongoose?" Bert questions, "A real animal, Bert." Johnny turns around and opens a small box, pulling out a red shirt with an Eagle with fangs on the front. "Welcome... to Eagle Fang Karate."

    "Uh, eagles don't have fang—-" Mitch starts but is cut off by Johnny throwing the shirt at him. "Put 'em on." Johnny says, tossing one to all of the students. "Anyone else feeling a little snug?" Mitch asks the class as his shirt is significantly smaller than the others.

    "Do some more sit ups." Johnny remarks,  "Everybody fall in!"

——

    AFTER THE BOYS' talk with Johnny Lawerence that morning, they told Kreese and he had decided to go have a little talk with the new dojo.

    With Hawk and a few others leading the pack of Cobra Kai's, Tory, Wyatt, and Kyler walk out from around the bush.

    The teens were not prepared to see Kreese and June leading the rest of Cobra Kai out in front of Eagle Fang. "I told you, Cobra Kai for life." Hawk says, a smirk on his face.

    Kreese walks forward, "Don't worry, Johnny. I'm not here for a fight." He states, taking off his sunglasses. "Yeah? Then why are you here?" Johnny spat, his eyes not leaving Kreese's.

    "I'd like to make you another offer to come back to Cobra Kai where you belong."

    "You're crazy if you think I'm ever teaming up with you again. The garbage you're feeding them, the shit their pulling," Johnny looks over to June, the girl just glaring back even harder at the blonde. "It's messed up. And your to blame for that."

     "I have to disagree with you there. I care about my students. They're strong and they're true fighters." Kreese spoke, calmly. "Yeah? At least none of my students have ended up in the ringer." Johnny states, glancing towards June. Her jaw clenching at his words, she take a step forward but Kreese puts his hand out to stop her.

    "Don't act like your haven't been in the same situation. My students wouldn't make the mistake of showing mercy and ending up in coma!" Kreese spat, his voice raising. Both Miguel and Hawk step forward, Kreese turning and pushing the boy back. "This is it, Johnny. There's not gonna be another chance."

    "Good."

    "You made your choice. And you are gonna regret it." Kreese states, pointing a finger towards his former student. He puts in his sunglasses, and turns around walking away with the rest of Cobra Kai following him. June gives one last glare towards the blonde, before following.
