The Serpent Queen

December 19 | Part Five

Johnny arrived back home. He parked his car and got out of it, and strode into the courtyard. He turned back to see George's car also parked in the usual spot. He continued on and headed towards the Diaz' door.

"Carmen, I have to tell you... I know what I want this to be, and." He practiced what he was going to say to Miguel's mother. He arrived at the door and straightened himself out, knocking at the door. "I love you. I love you. I-"

The door swung open and Carmen stood on the other side.

Johnny couldn't immediately tell that something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

Carmen opened the door a bit more so that he could see Miguel leaning against the couch, icepack in hand against his shoulder, face bruised and bloodied.

Johnny's facial expression twisted into pain and rage. "What happened?"

Before Miguel or Carmen could explain, the three of them could hear Phoebe talking to her parents.

"Stop it, mum. I'm fine." She stepped outside out of the apartment swatting the hands of Sophie.

"But-"

"I'm fine. It's on the other side. It's just a bruise. There's no blood, no fractured skulls."

George came out after. "There's not the point, Phoebe. It could have gone very bad. The state of the house is enough to-" He stopped as he noticed Johnny.

"What's going on?"

"Cobra Kai." George scowled.

—————————————————————

Johnny sped his car all the way to the dojo and stormed out of his car. Before leaving the apartment complex, George and he spoke and his friend went to get Daniel after the teens updated them on what happened at Stavros' home, and since it involved Sam, it involved Daniel. George went to go get him so Daniel could confront Kreese as well.

The Eagle Fang Sensei clenched his fists and looked up at the Cobra Kai sign in anger. Just like he stormed out of his car, he stormed into the dojo. Walking across the mat of the darkened main dojo and down the little hallway he approached the door to the back training room. He heard the sounds of training from the other side of the door.

Johnny kicked the door opened to see Kreese standing at the back facing him, in a black gi, overseeing a student knee a black punching bag, dressed in a white training gi with their back to him.

Kreese smiled to him warmly, "What took you so long?"

The Cobra Kai student turned around and Johnny was shocked to see that it was his son, Robby.

"Robby... what are you doing here?"

"He's exactly where he belongs. As are you. Three generations of Cobra Kai, working together. All we need now is Phoebe. We won't just dominate the tournament. We'll melt this whole snowflake generation." He took a step towards Johnny. If Johnny joined him, Phoebe would go where he went. "This is really your last chance, Johnny. Are you in? Or are you out?"

"Listen to him, Dad. He wants what's best for you." Robby said.

Hearing his son echo Kreese's poisonous plan sent Johnny into the red. He was not taking Robby or even Phoebe from him. He wouldn't let it happen. Neither would George on his daughter's front. Kreese had taught his students to go and attack people in their homes. They attacked his best two students. He had to pay for it. He charged at his former sensei, throwing vicious combinations of punches and kicks, until Kreese's back was against the back wall.

Kreese blocked and countered them all, but it came to a point where it was a lot to overcome. Johnny's rage is forced him onto his heels. As he took a hard shot to the jaw, he fell to the floor from the roundhouse kick he had received.
