Third Person's POV:

"They sprayed you guys with sprinklers? Seriously?" Gaby asked in disbelief.

"Yes! We gotta hit em back with a home invasion!" Kyler yelled.

"Don't be crazy, breaking and entering isn't gonna help anyone," Robby said.

"Oh, you think you know everything? You used to be on their side, how do we know you're not a spy or something!" Rickenberger accused.

"Are you an idiot? He's literally teaching us their moves," Tory pointed out.

Gaby watched as her fellow Cobra Kais argued and yelled at each other. "Quiet!" She screamed as loud as she could, making all of them shut up.

"This isn't the time to be arguing with each other. The tournament is only three months away and if we wanna win, we need to be united as a team. I know you guys want to get payback, but that's not gonna happen by turning against each other . Am I understood?" Gaby asked firmly.

The Cobra Kai students all nodded, "Good, now let's start warming up," Gaby said.

As they warmed up, Sensei Kreese and Sensei Silver watched from their office.

"She's a natural leader," Sensei Silver said.

Sensei Kreese nodded, "And one of my best students," he said, not noticing Silver's smirk as he watched Gaby.

The next day at school, Kyler and Gaby were walking down the hall to their 3rd period classes when her phone's notification sound when off.

Gaby grabbed her phone from her back pocket and saw that it was a Twitter notification.

Kyler looked at her screen and saw Johnny Lawrence's account, "Why are you following him?"

Gaby shrugged, "I followed him last summer and I guess I forgot about it since he never tweets," she answered.

"Holy sh*t," Gay cursed as she looked at his posts.

"IT'S ON: LAWRENCE-LARUSSO REMATCH! hashbrown dead meat."

"It's time for the valley to see what karate is all about!"

"Today Eagle Fangs reign supreme!"

Kyler chuckled, "Looks like their partnership is falling apart."

"They don't stand a chance against us by themselves, the All Valley's gonna be a piece of cake," Gaby smiled and high-fived Kyler.

A few moments later, they got to Kyler's class and after saying bye, Gaby kept walking to her's without him.

She was about to walk past the lockers when she heard Hawk's voice, "Kreese has gotten to Gaby the most, she's completely different."

Deciding to listen to their conversation, Gaby stayed hidden beside one of the lockers.

"I mean, you were too. We just need to take down Kreese and they'll all realize that he's been brainwashing them," Miguel said.

Demitri shook his head, "That's wishful thinking. I love Gaby, but she's not just gonna change over night. She's in too deep, it'll take time."

"I don't know if she'll ever go back to normal. She literally sprained her own wrist just so that she could get Sam suspended. She's crazy," Hawk said.

It was near the end of Cobra Kai training for the day, and the students were practicing their kicks while Sensei Silver lectured them.

"There are three things that make a champion, the three D's. Desire, devotion, and discipline. The first two, I can't give you. The last one, I can, but you have to be willing to receive it. Are you?"

"Yes, Sensei!" Gaby and her peers yelled.

"Alright, junbi stance," Sensei Silver said before the students got into the stance.

"Now, I understand you want to defeat your enemies, and you will when it matters. Until then, just stay focused on your training. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Sensei," the students said, not liking that they couldn't fight their enemies.

"With conviction," Sensei Silver ordered.

"Yes, Sensei!"

"Good, you're all dismissed," he said before walking into his and Sensei Kreese's office.

"Second Sensei is working us hard today. Guy's going beast mode! It just sucks we can't give a beat down before the tournament," Kyler said as he, Robby, Kenny, Tory, and Gaby got their water bottles.

"Just because we can't fight doesn't mean we can't get payback," Gaby suggested.

Tory smirked at her girlfriend, "What do you have in mind?"

*****

The group of friends walked into the tattoo shop and heard Hawk say, "Hey, Rico. You good?"

"Sorry, tattoo shop's closed for the day," Robby replied loudly as they walked towards Hawk.

After a few seconds of Hawk struggling, Robby, Kyler, Tory, and Kenny managed to restrain him to the tattoo chair that was laid flat.

"You a**holes just ignoring the no-fighting rules?" Hawk asked angrily.

"Oh, we're not here to fight," Gaby said as she grabbed a barber razor from one of the tables, "It's time for a new haircut, Eli."

She walked over to his head with the razor in her hand and bent down towards his ear, "Next time you decide to talk about how crazy I am, make sure I'm not around to hear you first," Gaby whispered before cutting a large chunk of his hair.
