The Anger of the Angels (a Cobra Kai Fanfiction "What If")

The equals

From that moment on, everything began to take a new big shape at that West Valley High School, and faster than any of the teachers would like to admit; everyone began to say that they were part of that damn "Cobra Kai' dojo", or that they were thinking about joining to that new kind of "sect", as my father began to call them; Actually, that day, when everything started to go to hell, dad came home asking me what had happened to Eli's head (Unfortunately, he couldn't complain to either the principal or Counselor Blatt about anything of their physical appearances, and he said that it would go against his freedom of expression of the students, and that it would be something very "unpatriotic", maybe that was the reason why he just complained to me, in the comfort of our humble home); In just a couple of days, almost everyone was wearing big sweatshirts with those stupid snakes on their backs, and the rest of us who thought Sensei Lawrence was a complete idiot, or we simply wanted to preserve our physical integrity, weren't too sure how we should act (me, Demetri, Sam, and even Kyler with his friends);

the strangest thing was that in those days, I could see my dad a little more tense than usual, but, when I asked him if everything was okay, he told me that I shouldn't worry about anything at all, that he knew these types of "recruits" very well, and that he and his "Alpha Elite" thing could stop them sooner or later; although he had defended Miguel at his time, he claimed to know what would happen when things got out of control (but if I was sure of one thing, it was that the "recruits" thing was really true).

Demetri had told me that he had tried to tell his friends how stupid they could look with all that, but those cobra kai's told him not to be so exaggerated, especially Eli:
-It's a "Hawk" now-.
-What?-.
-He now calls himself "Hawk"-.
-Hawk? nice-. I laughed innocently, but, he looked at me with his indignant face.
-I mean, it sounds terrible-.
-Exactly, I think that karate is already consuming him, I'm afraid that he'll end up hurt soon, or something much worse, that he'll become one of those assholes like Kyler and forget who he really is-.
-And who really is he?-.
-My binary brother-.
-Your binary... what?-.
-A little joke of ours, I tell you about that later, my point now is that very soon they will start competing and maybe travel all over the world, and honestly, I haven't seen him leave his house much since we both were at computer camp-.
-Relax, I thought he was your best friend-.
-I'm not really sure what to think right now, the Eli that I knew wouldn't get a crazy hairstyle like that or a tattoo like he did-. -Wait, did he get a tattoo?-.
-Aisha says that he made a huge hawk on his whole back-.
-And do you believe everything you hear?-.
I noticed that he was about to answer me, when Miguel approached us, a perfect excuse.
-Hey, Miguel-. Demetri suddenly said, greeting Miguel with a fist.
-Hey, dude-. And he look at me.
-Ann-.
-Miguel-. I smiled awkwardly at him.
-Oh, For God's sake, how much longer will you guys continue like this?-. Demetri asked, rolling his eyes.
-Don't worry, It won't be for long because I'm leaving-. As I left to catch up with Aisha, I could hear the last bit of their conversation:
-Is she still angry with me?-.
-I don't blame her, I would be too-.
-I just strike first, as Sensei Lawrence had taught us-.
-Well, I think that she did need some of your mercy-.

-Hey, Aisha!-. but she didn't stop even though he was already following her; I noticed she was ignoring me, just like she used to ignore Sam. When I finally reached her, she looked at me with disgust, and I could only think "Oh, God, now what did I do?".
-What's wrong?-.
-Why didn't you tell me the truth about yourself?-.
-What are you talking about?-.
-Miguel told me that you told him that your father is in the air force and that he taught you how to defend yourself?-.
-Oh, well...-.
-You could have told me, you could have taught me something, and I could have already broken Yasmine's operated bitch nose-.
-Miguel told you about...?-. It couldn't be, the last thing I needed was for someone else to find out about my meeting with that "sensei" Lawrence.
-That he kicked your ass? yes-. She said mockingly.
-But, if you had defended yourself, maybe...-.
-YES-. I shut her up. -I knew... I know, a couple of things, but I don't need to fight with a couple of idiots, and the less I need to fight against that b... against Yasmine-.
-Come on, I've seen how you get when you're angry, especially with Yasmine, I bet with us, she wouldn't mess with anyone again-.
-Yeah, but it usually takes me about a minute to calm down, it's no big deal-.
-So you plan to let them get away with it?-. Just at that moment, Yasmine and Moon passed us in the hallway. When they saw us, Yasmine just laughed at us like she used to do all the time, but I could notice a tiny hint of regret in Moon's eyes, especially after our talk in the parking lot, she just looked at us out of the corner of her eye.
-No, but, I don't think that those "bitches" as you call them, aren't worth it either-. I think that didn't fix anything at all, since Aisha just left without saying a single word, suddenly, my dad discreetly approached me to see if everything was okay.
-Hey-.
-Oh, hey, d... professor-. For a minute I forgot that we were both still in school.
-Are you ok?-.
-I'm perfectly fine, why are you asking me?-.
-It's just that I saw you arguing with that girl Aisha-. I didn't answer anything. -Wouldn't it have been for...?-. At this point, talking about Cobra Kai was almost like mentioning Voldemort to my dad, I guess he was distracted by the bad memories of his youth, and he needed to concentrate on his own classes.
-You have nothing to worry about-. I sounded so convinced that I made him suspicious of me.
-And why do you say that?-. The last thing I could tell him was that I had already done a "test" to join all those idiots and that he had already set foot in that dojo, lucily, I knew how to hide it.
-Because you can clearly see that they are a bunch of assholes-. That was enough, and finally, I told him what he was dying to hear:
-I'm sure you can beat them-. He looked at me proudly and gave me a small kiss on the forehead. I hated having to lie to my father, but I knew that if I told him, he would probably go there and beat up Miguel and Sensei Lawrence and I would be fired from the Valley. When I got home I started throwing Jackie's favorite ball to distract myself a little, I couldn't think about the fact that I was fighting with Aisha and lyng in the most blatant way to my dad; Shortly after, I threw the ball so hard that not only was Jackie unable to catch it, but it also flew into the Sam's yard and I could hear a moan. I was worried that I had broken something or hit someone.
When I looked over the fence, I could see a boy I had never seen before lying on the ground with his skateboard lying next to him, looking at the ball I had thrown to him. He suddenly looked at me and I didn't know where else to hide.
