Mia groaned as she pulled herself off the marble floor. He head hurt like hell. A sense of panic and horror rushed through her body once she saw how much blood was on the floor.
She gripped onto the railing, dragging herself up the stairs, making her way into her bedroom.
She scoffed when a yellow sticky-note was on her door, her mothers cursive writing letting her know that they would be out for a work trip.
"Of course they are," she mumbled, her voice hoarse.
She pulled out her phone, a bunch of messages from Robby, asking if she was ok.
Ally cursing her out.
Sam apologizing for the food comments.
Miguel, Tory and Hawk asking where she was, she knew she was late to karate.
She sighed, putting her phone on her desk and heading into her bathroom, gasping at the state she was in.
Dried blood was all over her face, dark bruises were on her cheek bone and her eye. She winced, lifting up her shirt, an array of bruises covering over her ribs and torso.
She jumped in the shower, avoiding looking at herself before heading to karate.
~~~
Mia walked into the dojo, her bruise clear on her face. No amount of makeup would cover it so she decided not to even bother.
"Ms. Peabody. Look who actually decided to join us. Just because you win a lousy trophy doesn't mean you get to slack off" Lawrence said as soon as he spotted Amelia.
She kept her head down. "I'm sorry sensei, it won't happen again." she looked up, confused seeing everyone doing pushups.
"What's going on?"
"Someone trashed LaRusso's dojo, you wouldn't know anything about that would you?" He asked.
"No sensei"
"Join the rest," he said before the phone rang, causing him to go into his office.
Mitch walked up to Kreese. "Sensei, we need a water break"
Kreese eyed up the students. "Two minute water break!"
The students got up, grabbing their water, Tory and Miguel walking up to Mia.
"Dude, what happened to you eye?" Tory asked.
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"Amelia-"
"Who do you think trashed the dojo?" Mia interrupted Miguel.
"I don't think it was anyone here honestly" he replied.
Mia looked up at Hawk talking to Kreese. "Hawk seems a bit off,"
Miguel and Tory looked over, "She has a point" Tory added.
"Breaks over!" Kreese yelled.
~~~
Mia's body ached more and more as her and the rest of the class were doing exercises. "Keep going! I have all day!"
"He's not going to let us up until we figure out who did this" Miguel said to Mia and Tory, panting with each word.
"I bet it was shit breath" Tory said. Mitch stopped getting up. "What did you say?"
"You heard me." Tory stood.
"What about Amelia? She was late and is covered with bruises!" Mitch accused, causing Mia to sprout up. "The fuck did you just say?" she snapped.
"You heard me. Trash your boyfriend's dojo to prove something?"
"Fuck you!" she snapped.
"Wanna go right now?"
Mia went to lunge first before Hawk grabbed her arm, Miguel coming in between the two.
"Stop." Kreese had said. "Do you want to know who it was? It was Hawk. And it was Diaz, and Nichols, and Peabody, Mitch and red. When one of you move, you all move. You live, you die, you live with the consequences because you are all Cobra Kai. Main dojo, five minutes, that's when the real training begins.
~~~
Amelia and Mitch were fighting, she sent a kick to his stomach, causing him to fall over in pain.
"Hit him again?"
Mia looked up at Kreese.
"Do you have a problem with that Peabody?" his voice was stern and made Mia want to crawl into her skin.
"This fight isn't over until you finish it. You show your enemy no mercy. So his him again Peabody"
Amelia nodded, about to run up and 'finish' him before Miguel stopped her.
"Wait!"
"Excuse me?" Kreese sounded like venom was dripping straight from his voice.
"This isn't what Sensei Lawrence taught us. Amelia scored a point. Fights over."
"That is right of course when in a tournament. In the real world, there are no scoring points."
He walked towards Miguel, who didn't look like he was backing down anytime soon.
"It's about being a winner or a loser and there are no losers in this dojo.
Kreese began walking around the students.
"Cobra Kai is not a hobby, it's not a club. Cobra Kai is your brothers and sisters. You are all Cobra Kai for life. You know why? Because Cobra Kai never dies."
Mia stood there, letting it sink in.
Cobra Kai never dies.
