COBRA KAI: The Way of the Fist (Prequel to "COBRA KAI: Clash of the Five Dojos")

CHAPTER 2: "The Karate War Begins."

“Hello Yukie.” Nariyoshi said with a smile on his face. Yukie hugs the two men. “How was your class today?” She asked in Japanese. “Going very well so far. I’m trying to make my students as strong as possible to defeat our enemy.” Sato said to her in English. “Father is very proud of your efforts, Sato. But in Miyagi-Do, we must treat our students with compassion and welcome. We should not be so hard on them.” Nariyoshi replied in Japanese. 

Sato’s temper was rising and Yukie was noticing it. “Sato. I would like to have a word with Nariyoshi-san.” Yukie said. Sato bowed and walked off, leaving Nariyoshi and Yukie alone. "Nariyoshi-san. I heard about the meeting tomorrow." Yukie started. "Hai?" Nariyoshi said, letting her continue. "Just be careful. I heard that it was someone very bad." Yukie said in Japanese, very worried. "Don't worry, Yukie. Me and Sato will be alright. No need to worry." Nariyoshi reassured her, holding her hand.

(The Next Day…)

Sato was in his family home, training his students in the backyard. The students each had large buckets of sand in front of them and they were punching both fists into the sand. "AGAIN!!" Sato yelled. The students continued their sand lesson. "Army's winning is not enough!! Your head must forget pain. To succeed, you must overcome!!" Sato said. Sato looks over at one of the younger students and walks over to him. 

"STOP!!" he ordered, and the students obeyed. "Show me your hands." Sato demanded. "Uncle?" The boy asked. Sato took the boy's right hand and noticed no bruises on his knuckles. That pissed Sato off and he tossed the boy's hand aside, then pulled out a small snap bag from the sand. "Is this a pillow to soften the blow?" Sato asked, throwing the sack to the ground. "Only a coward would use such a thing! A man without honor is no man. Do you want to be a man, Chozen? Or do you want to be a coward?" Sato asked. Young Chozen didn't reply as he looked at his uncle, sadly. Sato stood up straight, then looked to the side and saw his best friend, Nariyoshi Miyagi (Mr. Miyagi). 

"Class dismissed!" Sato said to his students. They all leave and Nariyoshi notices the sad look on Chozen’s face. "Must you be so hard on nephew?" He asked. "He cheats. No honor in cheating." Sato said, seriously. "Hai. But he is still child." Nariyoshi reminded his friend. "What are you doing here already, Miyagi?" Sato asked. "Father wants us at Miyagi home. He has special guest over." He told him. Sato went with his best friend to see their teacher at the Miyagi shrine. 

Nariyoshi and Sato both stood outside the Miyagi shrine, eavesdropping on their father and a man that went by the name, Kim Sung-Yung. "I will not fight for your legacy, Kim Sung-Yung! Your style will bring war upon the entire world!" Chojun Miyagi said in Japanese to the evil Tang Soo-Do Master. Kim Sung-Yung grew with anger as he quickly stood up, then kicked the little table across the room.

"Then I will show you no mercy!!" Yelled in Japanese. Before Kim Sung-Yung could strike Chojun, Nariyoshi and Sato barged in the room and readied themselves against Kim Sung-Yung. "Stay away from father!" Nariyoshi growled. "You two really think you stand a chance against me?" Kim Sung-Yung asked, with a scoff. 

"Hai." Nariyoshi answered. Kim Sung-Yung went for the first punch but Nariyoshi caught it, and tried kicking Kim Sung-Yung four times but the evil Master blocked and dodged them all, karate chopped Nariyoshi in the throat, and kicked his knee, making him kneel, then went for an airstrike. Before his foot could reach him, Sato stepped in, caught Kim Sung-Yung mid air and bashed him to the floor. Kim Sung-Yung stood up and went for a few attacks, then Sato did the same. Neither hit each other until Kim Sung-Yung went for a high kick at Sato's face but Sato blocked it in time but it didn't stop him from rolling onto the ground. While Kim Sung-Yung was distracted, Nariyoshi took this advantage, jumped up and karate kicked Kim Sung-Yung's left shoulder but it didn't knock him down. 

Nariyoshi and Sato stood side by side and went to attack Kim Sung-Yung at the same time. Kim Sung-Yung blocked, dodged and grabbed the first few attacks but the two Miyagi-Do's finally started landing hits. Sato kicked Kim Sung-Yung's right leg, making him kneel and Nariyoshi knees his face. 

Nariyoshi and Sato backed up a little bit, waited for their enemy to stand up, then went into their back to back fighting stance. They lift their legs high with Nariyoshi using his left leg and Sato using his right leg to double kick Kim Sung-Yung back to the ground. 

Kim Sung-Yung quickly stood back up but the three fighter's were stopped by a voice. "ENOUGH!!" They look to see Chojun stand up and he stands in front of the Miyagi-Do's, with Nariyoshi on his right and Sato on his left. "This meeting is over, Kim Sung-Yung. Miyagi-Do will always be right way." Chojun said in Japanese. "No it won't. As of this moment, I declare war against Miyagi-Do. 

The Way of the Fist will always be stronger!" Kim Sung-Yung promised. Nariyoshi and Sato look at their teacher. "War it is then." Chojun said, seriously. Kim Sung-Yung left the Miyagi shrine. Nariyoshi and Sato remained silent until their teacher turned to them. "You two have fought very well. But as of now, both our dojos are at war. We must prepare to fight." Chojun said and the two students agreed. This was it. The Karate War between Miyagi-Do and Kim Sung-Yung's Tang Soo-Do dojo has officially begun and Nariyoshiand Sato knew that they had to begin training their students.
