The day after the mall fight there is a session at the Cobra Kai dojo in the morning. Miguel and Hawks were in the centre of the mat sparring as the other students on their knees around them, Johnny and Kreese stood up refereeing the match. Miguel sent a punch to Hawks's abdomen, Hawks hunched over and wrapped his hands around his stomach as he let out a grown. "Nice work Diaz, bow, go again" Johnny said as they both bowed and got ready to spar again but they were interrupted by the doors to the dojo suddenly being slammed open and the doors bell ringing.
All the students stood up, everyone was looking to the door as Daniel LaRusso stormed and walked onto the mat, not even taking the time to take of his shoes. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Johnny asked Daniel. Daniel scoffed as he looked to Johnny "like you don't know!" Johnny walked towards Daniel as he grew a little angry, "take your shoes off, you're disrespecting my dojo." Daniel walked to the centre of the mat not taking off his shoes and said with an enraged expression, "you're seriously going to talk about disrespecting dojos after what you just did to mine!" Johnny was pissed off about what Daniel said to him "what are you talking about? I didn't do anything to your dojo!"
Daniel rolled his eyes "like how you didn't sucker punch one of my employees, huh?!" Johnny looked away not really able to counter that accusation. Daniel then started to shake his head with a restrained smile "you know, part of me actually felt bad for you at one point, but you make it so easy to remember who the bad guy in all of this is." Johnny looked down a little conflicted and sighed. Daniel then continued to berate Johnny as Kreese observed Johnny to see if he would confront Daniel, "you call yourself a sensei? You don't even know what a sense is. A sensei mentors. A sensei elevates. He doesn't teach destruction and disrespect!" Daniel said as he took a few steps towards Johnny.
A hand went between them, it was Kreese. Kreese faced Daniel with a stoic face "did you come here looking for a fight? That's not what Mr Miyagi taught you, I think he would be disappointed. Johnny already said he doesn't know anything about what happened to your dojo, so if you really want to settle things take your shoes off and face him like a man". Daniel's face contorted in rage "you have no right to speak of Mr Miyagi that way! And besides I'm not like you two, I don't hit first". Kreese scoffed "those are the words of a man who lacks will and tenacity".
"And your a man with no honour, and you, a military man should know, you don't earn a medal of honour by stealing it" Daniel said as his eyes started forming tears.
Daniel scoffed and looked to the students around them, "let me tell you something about your sensei's. They may teach you how to fight, but neither of them know a thing about what it takes to truly win at life. If you want to help yourself before it is too late, the doors of Miyagi-Do are wide open". Johnny looked around and then stepped in front of Kreese as Daniel backed away a little, he looked at Daniel as he said in a stern tone "You think you can come here and poach my students?"
Daniel responded by saying in a pompous manner "and what are you gonna do about it? You know I'm not gonna strike first". Johnny looked at Daniel but then sighed "I'm gonna be the bigger man". Daniel responded as he walked out of the dojo in a quiet voice "yeah, we'll see about that". And so Daniel left the dojo. The doors closed with the same bell ring.
Liam looked to Kreese for some sort of reaction but Kreese only focused on Johnny. During the whole ordeal Liam's fists were clenched, his knuckles were white and the palm of his hand had small cuts from his finger nails. Suddenly he focused his attention on a student moving, and then a few more began to move. They all picked up their stuff and left with near to no words being exchanged other than Johnny's exclamation of "where do you think you're going?!"
A few of the students we leaving. Looking back with guilt at who they became because of Cobra Kai and the thought of abandoning Cobra Kai and it's people. As they were about to take their first steps out of Cobra Kai a voice cried out in rage, "Traitors!" The one who shouted was Liam, this was the most emotion he has shown in the dojo since his join and many, if not all, were surprised by his outburst though none other was more surprised than Kreese, who looked to Liam with an utterly shocked expression, even he has not seen Liam act like this. The traitors left out the door quickly scurrying out of fear of what Liam may do as they all have seen his strength when he is calm, there is no telling what will happen if he is angry.
When they left Johnny started rounding up the students and forced them to do burpees till one of them fessed up about what happened to the Miyagi-Do dojo.
After thirty minutes a phone could be heard ringing in the office. Johnny went to the office to answer the phone, as he left he told Kreese to take charge and get a confession out of the student who trashed the Miyagi-Do Dojo. Kreese happily obliged to Johnny'a request. Johnny went to the office and answered the phone. He was told by a close childhood friend over the phone that he should come now to visit their other terminally sick childhood friend. Johnny left the dojo after leaving Kreese in charge.

A couple hours after Johnny left the Cobra Kai students were still in the dojo being punished. They were all in the back room of the dojo doing various strenuous exercises. Liam was doing crunches but every time his body uncurled his body another student would slam down a medicine ball. Liam wasn't apposed to this as he has done more strenuous excercises during his training with Kreese.
Several students were complaining about the exercises. Miguel and Tory began talking about who they thought trashed Miyagi-Do. Tory said that she thought it was shit-breath, one of the lackeys that were at the mall fight. Shit-breath got really offended and threatened to duke it out right there. It was then that Liam got infuriated by the nagging and complaining. He quickly placed his hands on the ground over his shoulders and performed a kick up just as the other student slammed the ball down. Liam's gee was open due to the top half and his black belt moving constantly. Now revealed was his chiseled physique and toned abs though there was some bruising on his abs due to the medicine ball.
Liam walked over to the group and bellowed with authority "Shut your mouths! You all are so fragile as to complain and turn against each other! Only the truly weak would turn against their own! We all share the same sensei's and the same creed! 'Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!' So step up and perform or confess! Anything else is DISRESPECT!"
Silence ensued till a slow yet sharp clapping. Everyone turned their heads to the corner to see Kreese. Kreese took slow and grandiose steps toward the students as everyone stopped all their actions awaiting their sensei's words.
"Liam is right, you are all Cobra Kai, when one of you make a move you all make a move. You live and die, with the consequences and the spoils. Because you are all Cobra Kai" Kreese says as the students look to one another as Liam's gaze stays focused on Kreese.
"Main dojo, five minutes. You're about to begin your real training" Kreese said as he walked out of the back room.
——————————————————————————
While this was going on in Cobra Kai karate the foundation of Miyagi-Do was being shake by their new members, the former Cobra Kai students. Miyagi-Do that already had shaky roots now has tension and conflict brewing internally contrary to their founding principles. Current Demetri and Chris- former Cobra Kai- were arguing. They were both outside like the other Miyagi-Do's helping to restore the garden that was the dojo.
As Demetri and Chris's argument got more heated Daniel LaRusso came out from inside the building on the Miyagi-Do land.
Daniel came out and stood between the two and hurriedly tried to relieve the situation, "hey, hey, hey, what's the matter with you two?"
