Cobra Kai

The moment of truth

(Dead man walking- Brent Faiyaz)

Demitri had set his alarm to give him enough time to get to the dojo, he was planning on re joining the group as to be more included back with Eli and Charlie. He didn't want to say anything but he felt left out, Jacob and Aj had each other as well as Milo, he only had Eli who seemed to be ignoring him since the transformation. He knocked on the door before entering, he was met with Kreese "Thank god, I was a little afraid you'd be the other guy. He's a little unhinged" he admitted walking up to him, he was about to walk onto the mat before remembering it was disrespectful with his shoes on. "Saw your little demonstration at Valley Fest. Couple of the guys have been requesting I come join the club, so uh, I feel like it's time to give it another go" He said while removing his trainers. It was at times like this he needed Charlie to tell him to shut up, Kreese looked pissed off.

"I have some ground rules, I prefer to take a flag-football approach to my karate training. Ideally learning to hit and kick without actually being hit or kicked" He still didn't seem to notice the look he was getting so continued on "part and parcel with that, I have a bit of a thing about personal space. The other cobras are just gonna have to accept that. Wow! That is quite the tattoo, not to nitpick here, but I'm not sure its anatomically correct" the boy continued on, not realising how much he was actually going to need Charlie, he touched kreese's arm then realised his mistake. After being punched in the face he came running out of the dojo "Shit shit shit" he yelled running off to go and find where his mum was parked

Stella had gone over to Miyagi-Do to go and check up on Sam and Robby, she felt bad about stealing the lime light from their performance, she walked into the garden and saw sam stretching "Hey, Please don't hate me. Im sorry about the performance" She said loudly getting her attention, Robby who was in the outhouse came walking out as he heard her voice. "Don't be silly, I know you didn't want to hurt us" Sam told her giving her a hug, "Yeah, My dad just sees red when it comes to Mr LaRusso. It had nothing to do with you guys" Robby added smiling. "Ive got to go talk to my dad about possibly recording us fighting, i'll see you guys in a second" sam said leaving Stella and Robby to talk. "I can see why you like this place" Stella said looking around, it was beautiful. "Its great here stels, you should think about joining" Robby told her but she shook her head "With Aria acting the way she is, I can't leave Charlie alone to deal with that. But you can show me some of that cool shit you were doing at the Festival?"

After Sam came back her and Robby started showing Stella the bow staff routine they had learnt, she slowly but surely seemed to be getting the hang of it. "So Mr Miyagi was like your Grandad?" She asked sam who was explaining how this all came about. "Sort of yeah, he looked after my dad really well when he was going through a shit time at school, They sort of just bonded after that" Sam explained, Stella knew that there was beef with the two dojos but these guys were her friends, no way was she going to let something as dumb as a Feud come between that. "Do you ever think that Maybe your dad and Johnny just wants what's best for their students, and if they saw that they might just get along?" Stella asked. She was backing up slowly trying to memorise the steps, "Stella, watch out for the.." But it was too late, she ended up in the pond. "Fuck, It's cold, so very cold" She squealed as Robby tried to help her out, he was laughing so much he couldn't. Eventually she held out her hand and he pulled her, but instead Stella pulled him into the water also "Thats for laughing Robert" 

Once Sam had given them some towels the three of them were still talking about the rivalry. "Im not going to lie and say I understand why you like Johnny so much. But I respect your judge of character, so maybe he's not that bad" Sam admitted. Stella smiled at her, "Shit, what time is it" she stood up quickly and looked around for her phone "Oh my god, shit I'm gong to be late", she went to hand Sam the towel back but she shook her head "I don't want you getting a cold, just give it back next time you see me" sam smiled at Stella before she ran out. She was driving quickly to the Dojo, trying to pick the bits of plant from her hair she seemed to have gathered from her dip In the pond.
