Chozen and Daniel stood on top of a trail in the beautiful lush green hills of Okinawa. In front of them,  several large lush islands sat proudly in the ocean. The water itself blue and the bright morning sun shone off of it, creating the most picturesque view that they had ever seen.

"Wow. Now this is the Okinawa I remember." The American admired. "Guess not all of Tomi Village is a shopping mall, huh?"

"This is where karate was born." Chozen said.

"Oh, right. Miyagi Shimpo sensei."

"You know Shimpo sensei?"

"Yeah." Daniel nodded. "Like all Miyagi ancestors, he was a fisherman. He loved fishing. And loved...sake. One day, there was strong wind, strong sun, and strong sake. But no fish. Shimpo sensei fell asleep... off the coast of Okinawa. Woke up off the coast of China. Ten years later, he came back with a Chinese wife and two kids. And the secret of Miyagi family karate."

"Your sensei told you this?"

"Yeah. Mr. Miyagi taught me everything he knew."

"Oh." Chozen turned to him. "So you know everything, huh?"

"Well, I'm not--"

Chozen scoffed, "This way."

"Where are we going now?" Daniel called out, having no choice but to follow the man.

Deep in the hills, Chozen had taken Daniel to a large wooden style building. It seemed like a traditional Japanese home, but it also seemed quite modern. A beautiful mix of the two.

"Wow." Daniel walked into one of the main rooms to find a room that he was very familiar with. Artifacts sat on shelves, along with pictures. A weapons rack sat on the other side of the wall. "Wait a minute. This is a dojo." He went over to a half open box and unfurled the old scroll that sat in it. The parchment had Japanese writing along with an ink painted image of a man doing the crane kick. The same kick he beat Johnny with at the tournament in 1984. He looked over to Chozen, "This is crane technique. This is Miyagi-Do?"

"Your sensei's father taught my uncle. Sato taught me. Before he died, Sato gave me all Miyagi artifacts." He saw Daniel picking out another scroll from the box and he snatched it away from him. "This is not for you!"

"Why not? You just said yourself our senseis had the same sensei. We're basically karate cousins, right?"

"You are a foreigner. You can't take our secrets."

"Hey, Mr. Miyagi treated me like a son, not a foreigner. He wouldn't keep any secrets from me." Daniel exclaimed.

"Are you sure about that?" Chozen took a few steps towards him. "Well, let us find out. Yeah?" He challenged.

Robby had some computer time in the common room and he began searching John Kreese and went through several newspaper articles he found online about the tournament in 1984, and the mysterious dojo that beat Cobra Kai then.

He then went onto his emails and the most recent ones were from Sam, Daniel, and Amanda. He clicked into the email of Sam and began typing back. When suddenly the screen went black.

"Whoops." Shawn said holding the cord that went into the wall in his hands after pulling it out. "Hope you don't lose anything important."

Robby stood up and faced him, "Why don't you just leave me alone, man?"

"That ain't ever gonna happen. You'll always be looking over your shoulder."

A guard walked into the room and annouchdd to everyone, "Break time's up, shitbirds. Back to your bunks."
