The Niko User (OC Niko User x Cobra Kai)

Chapter 7 Quiver

NO POV

Max: So that bad huh?

Miguel: Well....okay yeah it isn't going so well.

Max and Miguel sat on a bench near the strip mall drinking sodas. Miguel had told Max about what was going on at the dojo. How despite the increase in students, Johnny's methods were chasing them as quickly as they had arrived.

Max: You know, despite what is happening I have to go with Johnny here.

Miguel: Why do you say that? If he keeps scaring people we'll have no one.

Max: Martial arts requires a person to be tough. A person will face worth things than insults, if they're willing to give up because of that they have no place in a dojo.

Miguel couldn't help but agree with him.

Miguel: I can see where you're coming from. An important part for me was gaining confidence, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to stand up for myself.

Max got up and tossed his can into a nearby trashcan.

Max: Well I gotta going, and you should too.

Miguel: Yeah, training starts soon. I'll see you soon.

Max and Miguel went their separate ways, both to train in their different methods.

(scene change)

Back at Larusso Auto Robby and Seth were busy at work. Putting stickers on cars, delivering items, taking inventory, stocking things. To put it simply, these two worked together like a well-oiled machine. And people were starting to talk notice.

Robby was by the popcorn machine, making a fresh batch. Then Anoush, a worker at the dealership, approached Robby and ate a handful of popcorn.

Anoush: Needs more salt.

Robby: Oh, hey when do you think a can get one of those shirts with my name on it?

Just then another employee, Daniel's cousin, Louie dropped in.

Anoush: Hey Louie, the kid wants a shirt.

Louie: Oh we got to get the kid a shirt. What else do you need, business cards, tote bag, how about personal cufflinks?

Robby picked up Louie's sarcasm and started to walk away, but Louie pulled him back.

Louie: Hey I'm just breaking balls with you. Look, I use to be the new guy too. You just want to be noticed around here, I get it. How about this, every Wednesday we rotate the cars on display. The boss wants the Porche right there to be moved outside. Think you can handle it?

Robby: Yeah.

Louie handed Robby a key, Robby smirked. Just then Seth came back from something he was doing.

Seth: Alright I'm done with my coffee run, how's the popcorn coming along?

Seth then noticed Robby holding a key.

Robby: They asked me to move the car from the display.

This puzzled Seth.

Seth: This may be my first time working at a car dealership, but I'm sure you're not supposed to move cars in the middle of the day.

Robby: Well they told me to, plus they trust me enough to do this.

Seth: Alright then, just be careful.

As Robby approached the car, Seth backed away. Robby got in and started the car, people jumped back in fear of the noise. Daniel came running out, shocked at what was happening.
