AS SOON AS I AGREED to be apart of Miguel's new dojo instant regret filled my body. There was no more then 10 people with us, and not only that but we had nothing but grass as our dojo.

A homeless man was sitting across from us, and johnny looks like he's trying his best to not wince at the sight of our dojo conditions.

I didn't know what i expected, but it wasn't this. For the longest time i thought johnny had been fighting to twist the minds of everyone at cobra kai, when in reality Kreese had bigger plans in mind.
It made me sick.

"We've been here before. But things are different now." Johnny echoed looking around at us all.

I looked over at Miguel who stood hesitantly beside Brooke, who seemed just as starstruck as i was.
"They tried to tear us down. It didn't work!"

The energy of the group felt sloppy and dead, like everyone was scared to disagree or share smiles of excitement. Instead everyone stayed timidly quiet, waiting for Johnny's lecture to be done just like old times. "They said we needed a roof and four walls. Screw that! This park... will be our new dojo. Cause you don't need a dojo to be a dojo!. Is that understood?."

We all look at one another before realizing Johnny is waiting for a response. "Yes Sensei!."

The group goes quiet waiting for him to continue as he says, "I started Cobra Kai with one nerd. This is a step up. And if we're gonna be taken seriously, we need a name that commands respect."

I wondered then the name of which johnny and Miguel had come up with. They aren't the smartest of the bunch but hopefully it's something some what pleasing.

"A name that elicits power and dominance." I like the sound of that. "Cobras are strong. They may be king of the jungle, but the world's more than just a jungle. And there's only one animal that can kill a snake." Johnny grunts out passionately waiting for the group to make their guesses.

"A mongoose?" Bert says, as i slap myself in the forehead. Lord please save me.

Johnny rubs his hands together in excitement. "Welcome to...Eagle Fang Karate." As soon as the words leave his mouth i can't help but hunch over in laughter. That was hilarious. I look up and when i see both Brooke and Miguel motioning for me to cut it out i realize he isn't joking.

"Uh, eagles don't have fan-" A shirt files into Mitch's face and i realize soon Johnny is handing out our new attire. He passes me one and i can't help but look down at it in horror.

It's... something.

"Put 'em on!."

I look up stunned, turning to look over at Brooke who gives me the same look back.

We may not be close friends, or friends at all. But i've known her long enough to know what she's thinking. And she is thinking the exact thing i am.

"We have to fix it." I mouth the words to her across johnny. He seems very determined and excited about his new dojo, it would be disrespectful of me to tell him i don't like the attire.

She nods eagerly with a smile at me from beside Miguel. I can't tell if it's the shirts that's making her happy, or the idea of hanging out with me sometime to talk. Either way she smiles brightly.
