MOMENT OF TRUTH¹ eli moskowitz

Daniel had told the kids to move into the hut so the four men could have a private conversation.

"Miguel, I told you Cobra Kai would come back madder than ever." Amara said, "I freaking told you."

Miguel sighed as Hawk walked over behind Amara and placed his hands on the back of her shoulders. "Just take a breather." He told her. "Everything is going to be fine."

Nate walked over to the sliding door and opened it, spying on the three senseis and the odd guy. All the students began to huddle around being super bossy as usual.

"I don't know what padded room you crawled out of, Silver, or what twisted game you two are playing, but if you don't get off my property right now, I swear to God-"

"Your dad is pissed." Miguel said, talking to Sam about Daniel. "Who is that guy?"

"I have no idea." Sam answered.

"Well, I can definitely tell you his shoes are not in style." Kali said. Amara looked down at his shoes and saw they were snake skinned.

Amara had a disgusted look on her face. Those definitely were not in style.

"He looks like a Highlander." Bert spoke.

"The Highlander." Nate said, correcting him. "There can be only one."

"Okay." The man said to Daniel, "Okay, I tried. We'll  still hold our students to a moratorium on fighting before the tournament, for what it's worth. Provided, of course, you do the same."

"Just remember our deal." Kreese began to open his mouth. Amara rolled her eyes as he began to speak. "If Cobra Kai wins the All Valley, you two are done teaching. For good."

"That's not gonna happen," Daniel said, "'cause you're not gonna win. Now get the hell out of here."

The older man turned around and began to walk back over to the front as Kreese made his way over to Johnny. He glanced at Amara over Johnny's shoulder.

"Has it really come down to this?" Kreese asked him. "Johnny Lawrence playing second fiddle to little Danny LaRusso?"

"No one's second fiddle." Johnny told him. "This is my dojo as much as it is his."

"Really?" Kreese nodded. "Sign out front says Miyagi-Do."

Johnny glanced down then back at his former sensei. "Unless you want it crammed up your ass sideways, you'd better take off after your bridge partner." He threatened.

Kreese chuckled and began to leave Miyagi-Do as Johnny made his way over to Daniel.

The students began to walk out the hut and stare at their senseis.

"So who the hell was that guy?" Amara asked Daniel.

Daniel turned around and looked at the kids. "It's a long story."

Amara and Hawk were sitting at home at Johnny's apartment.

Hawk sat down on Amara's bed and looked over at the koala. "You still have Quintana?" Hawk asked her. "I figured you would've thrown him away."

Amara chuckled. "That would be considered child abuse. I'm not that kind of mom."

Hawk laughed and leaned in, kissing Amara on the lips. Her phone began to buzz as she pulled away from Hawk and answered her phone.

"Hey, Kali, what's up?" She asked her....."You did? What did he say?"..........."Kali, that's great! Now you can try to go for Moon."
