˚･ﾟ✧ ──── 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 outside the arena waiting for Johnny since he wasn't there yet, and Miguel was punching the air, looking furious.

     "Yo, Miguel, calm down, man. Save some for the tournament." Hawk said to him. Miguel only shot him a glare, then continued to punch the air.

     "Hey, don't even bother. He's been super agro since the breakup." Aisha said to Hawk.

     "Where's Sensei? The tournament's gonna start soon." Hawk asked, looking around for Johnny.

     "He'll be here." Aisha replied.

     "I don't know about that." Bert piped up.

     "What are you talking about?" Svetlana asked him.

     "I saw him last night at the mini-mall." Bert answered. "I was buying... a carton of milk... when I heard him in the parking lot, yelling."

     "Well why didn't you tell us this earlier?" Aisha asked.

     "I don't know. I guess I'm used to seeing him drunk, it didn't seem like that big of a deal." Bert replied.

     "Well we're here, and he's not. So it's officially a big deal." Hawk retorted back. "What if something happened to him?"

     "Like what?" Bert asked.

     "I don't know, like if he drove his car off a cliff, or he bought a gun and blew his brains out." Hawk replied.

     "No. Sensei would never kill himself." Aisha countered. "That's too pussy a move."

     "Whatever. I mean, we're here. We're gonna have to do it without him."

     "Do what without me?" They heard Johnny's voice ask. He was walking up to them.

     "Sensei." Aisha greeted him.

     "We didn't think you were gonna show up." Hawk added.

     "I may not always win, but I never back out of a fight." Johnny replied.

     "All right. Let's sign up." Miguel finally spoke.

     "Not yet. There's one more lesson I have to teach you."

˚･ﾟ✧ ──── "𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 strike first, to be aggressive, not be losers." Johnny began.

     "I taught you to strike hard, put every ounce of your power behind everything you do. But I haven't taught you the third rule of Cobra Kai. No mercy. The older you get, the more you're gonna learn that life isn't fair. You wake up one morning feeling great, and then life throws a spinning heel kick at your balls, takes a big steaming shit in your mouth. You get an F on a test, you get suspended. You fall in love with a girl, and some other dude comes and steals her away. Your car gets set on fire. Just when you think things are going good, everything falls apart. That's how it goes. Life shows no mercy, so neither do we. We do whatever it takes to keep our heads above water. We do whatever it takes to keep moving forward. We do whatever it takes to win!"
