The Serpent Queen

December 19 | Part Two

The Eagles and Miyagi's had congregated on the couches in the living room of the Alexopoulos' Encino home.

They respectfully took up their own sides and didn't intermix with each other, except the four members who came up with this plan.

Phoebe rubbed her temples as their discussion was going around and around in circles with nobody wanting to team up. "Look, I don't how to make it any plainer for everyone here. Eagle Fang and Miyagi-Do have to work together."

Sam agreed with her, "This is getting ridiculous."

"Even if we wanted to team up, it'd never work. I was in Cobra Kai. Their style mixes with ours like..."

Nate suggested being helpful, "...oil and vinegar?"

"No, not salad dressing." Chris replied to his teammate. "I was gonna say the Hart Foundation and the British Bulldogs."

"They were friends, dipshit." Penis Breath corrected him.

"Not at WrestleMania 3, Penis Breath."

"You can't call me Penis Breath!" He motioned to the Eagles. "Only they can call me Penis Breath!"

"Why are you okay with anyone calling you Penis Breath?" Chris wondered.

"Your logic, Chris, it doesn't make sense. You were in Cobra Kai, yes. But so were Phoebe and I, and the rest of the Eagles. Yes, our styles are different, but we can beat them that way. Or we can find a middle ground." Miguel said.

"You know what, screw this! Come on, guys." Penis Breath stood up and Bert joined him and began leaving the room to leave the house.

Phoebe, Miguel, and Sam all glanced to each other in panic and defeat. But then Demetri leapt up from his seat.

"Hey pussies!"

Everyone turned to him, surprised at the outburst, especially Phoebe. It was very unusual behaviour for her cousin. Demetri seemed a little surprised at his own behaviour himself, but now that he had the floor, he continued.

"This is exactly what those assholes at Cobra Kai want." He turned to Penis Breath. "Since you were one of them, you were an asshole too." He turned to Chris. "So were you." He looked to his cousin. "Thankfully, you were never an asshole, despite what you might think of yourself during the fight, but you are dating one."

Phoebe rolled her eyes at that.

"So was I." Demetri said about himself being an asshole. "At least I wanted to be." Noticing that everyone was listening to him, he continued. "But Cobra Kai is now the worst collection of assholes in the Valley, run by the king of all assholes. So if merging with Eagle Fang - weird name, by the way - can help keep us all from getting shit on any more, then we'd be assholes not to do it." He then seemed embarrassed by his outburst. "I'm sorry for all the assholes. I usually take pride in my grandiloquence, but it's an emotional time."

Phoebe patted his back and nodded.

The karate students on both sides began nodding as well, murmuring approval.

Mitch looked at Chris and nodded slightly. His former friend returned the gesture. Bert and him sat back down in their seats again.

Demetri turned back to Sam, Miguel, and Phoebe. "Now... where do we start?"

The three of them exchanged a surprised, hopeful look.

Phoebe's phone began to ring. "Keep talking. I'll be back in a minute."

Taking out her phone from her pocket and seeing whose name popped up on her screen made her go into her grandad's office. As she shut the door, she answered it and put her phone to her ear, "Hey. What's up?"
