Bonsai Or Cobra |Cobra Kai|

|VIII|

"Ready, bow." Johnny stated as they all did so the next day with both of the dojos lined up together in the back of Miyagi-Do.

"Sensei Lawrence and I have the same goals of preparing you for the tournament." Daniel began.

"But we have two very different ways of getting you there."

"We realize that teaching you from... opposing viewpoints at the same time can be just a little bit confusing."

"So we've gotten together and we discussed it and we have come up with a solution." Johnny explained as Scout felt Hawk's hand tapping hers and his hand slid into hers, once she noticed it. "We're gonna divide and conquer." Scout and Hawk looked at each other in confusion, as she looked over at her dad with raised eyebrows, as he shrugged. "Eagle Fang, we are going to go train out front."

"Miyagi-Dos, you will be out back here with me." Daniel finished and Scout shook her head slightly and her eyes briefly moved down to where their hands were, before she went back to watching her dad with a rather disappointed look on her face.

"But I thought that we were all stronger, just working together as a group." Miguel protested and Scout looked over at him, and she shook her head slightly.

"They aren't gonna change their minds." She mumbled and the Senseis looked at each other, before once again looking at Miguel, who was now just waiting for an answer.

"We're still working together..."

"Just separately. On opposite ends of the dojo. All right, Eagles, follow me!" Johnny ordered and he walked around out front.

"See you later." Hawk murmured as Scout nodded and she lightly tapped his shoulder with her fist as he went by, before she was following the rest of the Miyagi-Dos.

The Miyagi-Do kids were trying to meditate, while they heard Johnny snapping at kids and shouting rather loudly at them. "Scout!" Daniel said in an order-like tone, but Scout was already at the door and out of it.

"Hey! Stop it!" Scout snapped at the Eagle Fangs. She shoved through them and without warning, Mitch was on the ground after being the one unfortunate soul, that was actually spotted by Scout, sending Hawk to the ground.

"What business is it of yours, what I'm doin' with my students?" Johnny asked sharply and he was barely at all taller than her, but with Scout's eyes of burning, fierce fire, it gave her an extra two feet of height.

"It matters to me if you're getting them to hurt one of their friends, just to punish him for making a mistake or for being a dick! Back off of him or you can get the fuck off of my family's property." Scout spat out coldly as she narrowed her eyes at him. "That goes for everybody, by the way." She said as she spotted Mitch getting up.

"Hey LaRusso. Your daughter has an extra foot of sass and, an extra two feet of fire." Johnny said to Daniel, who walked out of the dojo to see that Scout was in the middle of the Eagle Fangs. "All right, guys, everyone take five. Walk it off. It is looking good, looking good."

"You okay?" Scout asked and she looked over at Hawk, who sighed and she opened the door as he walked into the dojo. "Jesus, what the hell did they do?" She questioned.

"Front sweeps, punches and kicks to everything... Bert got me in the balls." Hawk muttered and she sighed, as she shook her head.

"Who gave you the shiner?" Scout asked as she handed him a freezing cold gatorade, which he put against his eye.

"Mitch. Apparently he aimed for my left shoulder... but his aim was quite a bit off." Hawk muttered as Scout was shaking her head. "Why did you jump in the middle of it?"

"Because I learned karate to help people and to stop that sort of shit from happening. I didn't learn it to just stand by." She pointed out and he shrugged, as the others came in and started hassling him.

"Hey, quit it." Scout ordered and they'd all look at her. "We are all humans, we have all made some big mistakes." She said and Chris scoffed at her.

"He took Mr. Miyagi's medal of honor, neadly beat the shit out of Nate and you are defending him, still? He doesn't deserve our respect, much less yours. I don't think he's wanted here. Go back with your little Eagle gang. You aren't wanted here." Chris spat out and Hawk looked like he was going to be sick and Scout shook her head at the disrespect as Hawk stormed out of the dojo.

"We took you in, Chris, with damn-near fully open arms after you attacked Demetri and then you were defecting from Cobra Kai. You were in his position once. I can't believe you all. You're acting like Cobra Kai students, right now. You know?" She said quietly and they all looked rather wounded at that, as Scout raced after Hawk.
