Another day of school and you're in the cafeteria with Eli, Demetri, and Miguel.

Councilor Blatt: Cyberbullying is no laughing matter. Sending a cruel message to someone online can be just as hurtful as saying it to their face. I'm not gonna name names, but the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying after some kids online made fun of his facial deformity.

Student: The kid right there! The kid with the weird lip.

Y/N: Don't listen to them, Eli.

Councilor Blatt: But today, our goal here is to make this school a safe space for all students.

Miguel: You know, if you're sick of getting bullied, my karate dojo's looking for recruits.

Demetri: Yeah, right, you hear that, Eli? A little karate training and you're gonna kick some major ass.

Miguel: I'm serious, Demetri, all right? My sensei's the real deal, and I'm sure I could get you all discounts.

Demetri: As enticing as that sounds, I think we'd rather spend our afternoons playing Crucible Control than getting hit in the face.

Y/N: I don't know Demetri we might as well try it out. I mean who knows they might try to fight us, at least one of us needs to know something.

Demetri: Yeah, that's why Miguel's here.

Y/N: He might not be here someday, and I'm here every day. Miguel, I'll see you at the karate place where's it at?

Miguel: That's great! It's in the Reseda strip mall, called Cobra Kai.

Y/N: Badass name for a karate place.

Miguel: It's called a dojo.

Councilor Blatt: Oh, and one last thing. While we're all looking forward to the Halloween dance, let's make sure our costumes are culturally sensitive. For example, instead of "sexy nurse," maybe try "gender-neutral hospital employee."

At the Cobra Kai dojo

Y/N: Hey Miguel.

Miguel: Hey.

Y/N: So, is this place closed today or what?

After you say that, a nice, but beat up car parks.

Homeless-looking dude: Who's this kid?

Y/N: Hi, I'm, Y/N L/N.

You hold your hand out.

He doesn't shake it.

Y/N: Okay. I was wondering if I could join your dojo.

Miguel: You told me to be here at five right?

Homeless-looking dude: Yeah, but today's training's canceled.

Miguel: What? Why?

Homeless-looking dude: Because I said so.

The Sensei unlocks the door and enter.

Miguel follows from behind and you hesitantly follow.

Y/N: What's his name?

Miguel: Johnny Lawrence.

They enter the office room.

You then enter.

Miguel: Wait, Sensei Lawrence, there's something that I wanna show you.

Johnny: Look, I'm not in the mood.

Miguel: But, I think you'll like it.

He takes out his laptop and sets it down.

Miguel: It's a Cobra Kai webpage, right? I made it to study hall. Click on the snake.

Sensei Lawrence clicks it.

Miguel: Okay, this is the sign-in page. Now, I was thinking, maybe we can make an app where you track your progress, get a social media campaign going, and get it out to the whole school.

Y/N: Yeah, I already got mine going, it's dope as hell.

Miguel: The possibilities are endless.

Miguel's phone starts to ring but with awesome rock music.

Miguel: Oh. That was my mom. I'll call her back later.

Johnny: Hey, was that just...

Miguel: Ratt? Awesome, right?

Johnny: Yeah.

He has a slight smile.

Miguel: I went online and looked up Guns N' Roses and ended up going on this whole '80s rock rabbit hole.

Y/N: I love rock. That shit is dope.

Johnny: Alright, both of you, meet me at the high school at midnight. Don't be late.

Miguel / Y/N: W-what for?

Johnny: You two wanna learn how to kick ass? First, you gotta learn how to kick.

At the high school

Y/N: Sir, what are we doing here at midnight?

Miguel: Yeah...are you sure we're supposed to be here?

Johnny: Yeah, don't worry, my buddy's the night janitor. Also, call me Sensei, not sir.

Y/N: Yes, Sensei. Sorry, Sensei.

Johnny: All right, let me see your hands.

You and Miguel hold out your hands, but Sensei Lawrence decides to tie your hands together.

Miguel: What're you doing?

Johnny: When you're in a fight, your first instinct is to use your hands, right?

Y/N: Well yeah.

Johnny: You gotta unlearn that. And think with your legs.

Miguel: Uh, how do we think with our legs?

Johnny: Well, you just, uh...

Sensei Lawrence pushes both you and Miguel into the pool.

Y/N: Shit!

Johnny: Use those legs, kick your way out!

Sensei Lawrence gets both of your heads out of the water.

Y/N and Miguel: I'm drowning.

Johnny: Drowning is for pussies, all right? Don't be a pussy. Use your legs.

He drops you both.

After few seconds pass and he brings you both back up.

Miguel: We're gonna die.

Johnny: Cobra Kai never dies. Say it.

Y/N / Miguel: Cobra Kai never dies.

Johnny: Say it as if your life depends on it.

Y/N / Miguel: Cobra Kai never dies!

Johnny: Now, I'm not gonna help you this time, all right? All right, you have all the power in your legs you need. Use it to kick your way up. Do you understand?

Y/N and Miguel: Yes, Sensei.

He drops you two.

Miguel starts to kill it.

Johnny: Yes, that's it, Diaz! Come on, L/N!

You rise to the surface.

Johnny: Yes, that's it, L/N! Keep kicking.

Johnny: Three minutes, keep going.

You start doing circles.

Johnny: That's it. Ten minutes!

Guy: Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Johnny: Oh, shit. We gotta go, we gotta go.

Guy: You're not allowed in here!

Miguel: I thought you knew this guy!

Johnny: Of course not, I lied.

The next day at the dojo

Miguel is kicking a board trying to break it while you dodge and block baseballs.

Johnny: Harder Diaz!

Miguel: Hiya!

Johnny: Harder! Kick your enemy in the face!

Miguel breaks the board.

Johnny: Nice Diaz. L/N you're up.

You start kicking the board.

Johnny: Come on, princess. Harder. Hiya! Keep that leg up, like a man!

Y/N: Hiya!

Johnny: No mercy!

You then break the board.

Johnny: Way to go.

Sensei Lawrence sets up two stands that have three boards.

Johnny: Break them. Aits!

You and Miguel: Hiya!

Both of you break the bottom board.

You and Miguel: Hiya!

Both of you then break the middle board.

You and Miguel: Hiya!

And both of you break the top board.

Johnny: Yeah! That's it.

After training

Miguel: I wish I could show my mom what I did to those boards, but if she knew where I was right now, she would kill me.

Johnny: Ugh.

Y/N: What's wrong?

Johnny: Nothing. Put your costumes on. I'm driving you two, to that dance, and we're gonna pick up some more students.

You and Miguel start putting on your costumes.

Johnny: Miguel, what the hell is that?

Miguel: This is my Halloween costume. My ya-ya made it. It started as Deadpool. Then I think it was Spider-Man, and then it just kinda became some generic superhero.

Johnny: Yeah, a poor one at that. You're Poor-Man. Yeah. Y/N, what are you wearing?

Y/N: I'm Obi-Wan.

He looks confused.

Y/N: From, Star Wars?

Johnny: What's a Star Wars? More nerdy shit?

You look at him with confusion and disgust.

Johnny: Well, I can't let you go out like that. We have a reputation to uphold.

Miguel: What do you suggest?

At the school dance

You and Miguel are wearing skeleton costumes. Both of you walk up to Eli and Demetri.

Demetri: Oh, skeleton. Classic. Nice.

Miguel: Thanks. I like your sorcerer costume.
Sorcerer?

Demetri: "Sorcerer." Please. I'm a necromancer.

Miguel: What?

Demetri: Didn't you see "The Amulet"?

Miguel: So are you a regular doctor, or...

Eli: Plastic surgeon. I fix my lips.

Miguel: Nice.

A few minutes later Eli, Miguel, you, and Demetri are at the punch table.

Miguel: Okay, are we ready? Let's ask the Dragon Queens to dance.

Demetri: Slow your role, we got time.

Miguel: No, no.

Someone takes one of them.

Miguel: Shit! We just lost one to Doctor Who.

Eli: I have to go to the bathroom.

Demetri: Yeah, me too. That punch is going right through me.

In the bathroom

Miguel: First high school dance in the books, and we didn't even attempt.

Demetri: Well, statistically speaking, zero for zero is better than zero for one, so it could've been worse.

The four of you overhear some commotion.

Kyler: Yo, so frustrated, man. I was just about to give her the bracelet.

Bully: Like that cheap one you gave to that East Valley slut?

Kyler: Yeah, it worked on her, so might as well try it again. But, Sam's dad had to ruin everything.

Brucks: I'm sorry, dude, you had her in the palm of your dick.

Eli knocks down some lacrosse equipment.

Demetri: Oh, shit.

You, Eli, and Demetri all run out of the bathroom.

You see Sensei Lawrence.

Y/N: Sensei!

Johnny: What's up?

Y/N: It's Miguel. Those bullies are back, he might need help.

You and Sensei Lawrence run over to the bathroom/locker room.

Y/N: He should be around here.

You see him down on the ground beaten up.

Y/N: Oh no... Sensei over here!
