Hawk was on his way to the dojo and he was happy. He and Pipsqueak had consoled Tory from the attack and she was now okay. She was pissed, but she was not murderous like Hawk thought she would be. Then again, looks can be deceiving. He was walking alone and he felt giddy. He had contacted the school governors and they had told him the truth about the rumour. It was a lie. The games had not been cancelled at all. It was just something someone had either believed or made up about. Hawk gritted his teeth at that.

He was wearing his Cobra Kai clothing and he was walking with elegance and his face was devoid of any emotion. He could not afford to allow Wondercolts to know what he was feeling. Not that there were any Wondercolts except for Tory, Snips and snails. They were the only one’s he showed his true face to. He had been busy for the last few days of school as Crystal Prep had homework on top of homework. Hawk still wondered how he managed to even get it done at all, but then again, when it's study time, it is Big Brain Time.

His right arm was holding a gym bag where all his normal clothing were in, along with a towel and other necessities. The gym bag had a Cobra Kai symbol on the right and left side. He was just about to turn when he heard his name being called.

“Hawk!”

Hawk turned around and saw that it was Vice-Principal Luna in all her glory. She was wearing soft dark blue pants with a red t-shirt. She was wearing sport shoes that were perfect for running and were black coloured. She was waving him over. Hawk shrugged and decided to see what Luna wanted. She was standing across the street with no cars waiting. Hawk walked up to her with a sense of power and elegance, one that she had used when she was younger and arrogant.

“Well, hello, Vice-Principal Luna. What can I do for you?” Hawk icily asked. He was still not happy about being expelled from Canterlot High, but he felt more at home at Crystal Prep. Luna flinched a little bit at his tone. She expected him to be angry, but it broke her heart that he directed his anger at her. She sighed softly and looked into his emerald green eyes, seeing that there is nothing but knowledge and anger.

“Hawk, I am sorry for what my sister did to you. It was totally unfair and she should not have done that to you, but alas, I cannot do anything. I came to tell you that if you ever need to talk, you can always call me.” She said, handing him her phone number with her right hand. Hawk took it and nodded to her curtly. She could feel the tenseness in the air but she did not comment on it as she knew he would calm down eventually.

Hawk shifted his feet a little bit, still angry that he was expelled from Canterlot High. He looked at Luna and could not help but feel a little bit betrayed by her for not stepping in and making sure that Celestia was in her leach.

“I felt at home when I went to Canterlot High, at least until Flash and his idiot lackeys started bullying me. I, Pipsqueak, Snips and Snails were bullied until Tory stepped in. She took care of us and then that whore, Sparkle came in and ruined everything. We were then once again subjected to the bullying ways of Flash Sentry. Then, when we were walking home from school one day, I and my friends were chased by Flash and his gang, until my Sensei came. He beat them without trouble and he took us in. We then started bullying Flash and his idiot friends. I changed my name to Hawk and Sunset changed hers to Tory. Some motherfuckers jumped Tory just the other day you know? She attacked her attackers and I believe one of them was Dumbell. From what I have heard, she broke his whole face and legs. Hell, Pipsqueak even believed that she was about to start on the guy's groin!” Hawk ranted.

Luna had first been a little taken aback that he had opened up to her like this, but then she felt warm inside for the fact that he trusted her enough to tell him. Her face had morphed into a look of confusion as she had heard the name Tory until Hawk explained who that was. She wasn’t surprised that her young students took on different names to be known by. She had done so herself and she was a living legend in Cobra Kai, for those that remembered...

She felt a sense of sadness in her heart that Hawk had just been thrown out when she could clearly see the pain in his eyes. He wasn’t a monster like Flash had once said when she heard him say it. He was a teenager with problems and needed help.

“I understand your pain, young Hawk. I too have once felt that sort of pain in my heart. My sister was always popular in middle school and high school. I was just the ‘annoying younger sister’ until I joined a dojo one day. It changed me both for the better and worse. I think I am in a few champion books of karate.” She mused the last part to herself and did not notice the glint in Hawk’s eyes. His eyes shone at her in a calculating way. He was trying to figure her out.

“Well, I gotta go. I’ll see you around, Vice-Principal Luna.” Hawk respectfully expressed and bowed in her direction in a show of respect. To his surprise, Luna did the same thing and smirked a little bit when she saw the very small hint of surprise in his eyes. It felt strangely good to surprise him.

Hawk turned around and walked away towards Crystal Prep, not once looking behind him to see the facial expression of Luna. The woman in question felt a strange sensation in her mind. She felt a sense of longing towards him. She couldn’t understand where the emotion was coming from but It was there.

She shook off the feeling and told herself that it was simply her being tired. She felt how her legs moved her body around and started walking. She felt her hands in her pockets, a neutral expression on her face and a sense of calmness wash over her.

To the others that looked, they felt a little bit on edge, but for those who weren’t afraid, they felt a little bit of respect towards her. Luna felt all of this but did not make any sort of acknowledgement. Her posture was military-like and her aura was one demanding respect and power as she walked down the sidewalk with the different shops opening up for the day. The people there made way for her as if she was the queen or something. She inwardly smirked. She still had power wherever she went. Cobra Kai was truly great for people.

Hawk had just reached Crystal Prep when he felt a hug come from behind him, but this one was filled with affection. He grinned as he felt Sunny Flare’s arms around him. It was usually like this every morning. He would come to school and he would be engulfed in a hug with his partner.

“People will soon believe that we are a married couple if you keep this up.” Hawk in-matter-of-factly stated as he turned around after Sunny Flare let go of him. Her face was morphed into one of a playful glare as she tried to intimidate him.

“Let them believe whatever they want to believe. They usually try to hurt others but their brains are smaller than walnuts.” Came the snarky reply of Sunny Flare. Hawk snorted at that. She had a very good point. They usually never used their brains, to begin with. Especially those outside of Crystal Prep. The wondercolts are simply too stupid to get anywhere in life except the friends he has there of course. Principal Celestia being the best possible example. Hawk rolled his eyes and gave Sunny Flare a peck on the lips and walked together with her into the school building.

“I ran into Vice-Principal Luna today on my way here.” Hawk blurted out suddenly. Sunny Flare got an expressionless mask on her face and looked at Hawk. Hawk on the other hand could see the anger and rage within the girls' eyes.

“Well, what did the old hag want then?” The anger was evident but there was a strong hint of sarcasm in her voice. Hawk could not help but snort at that. Receiving a glare from the said girl. Hawk was very careful when he opened his mouth to speak as he did not want her to rush towards Canterlot High and burn it down.

“She just wanted to let me know that she was sorry for what her idiot sister did to me. That was pretty much it and then I came here.” Hawk explained. Sunny Flare’s expressionless mask did not falter, however.

“Doesn’t she know that it's already too late? It has been weeks now. She can’t just show up out of nowhere and expect you to just accept it!” Sunny Flare’s voice became louder and louder for each passing word. They were close to the entrance of the school on the inside and some students in the hallways looked towards them until they went back to their friends slash acquaintances.

Hawk flinched a little bit by the girls' tone. He knew she would be angry but this was sort of out of the blue. He looked at Sunny Flare who practically demanded an answer from him from her look alone. He gulped a little bit and felt how he started to sweat. He felt like he was under a lot of pressure. It was like holding weights and you are tired as all Hell, but you gotta keep going. The difference here is that he is not holding weights. He stood in front of a beautiful girl that looked at him with an intense gaze. Her eyes were sparkling with a sense of fury and Hawk knew that he had to respond as soon as he found his voice.

“I did not accept it. I merely nodded, that was it.” Hawk stated, with a very small hint of bite in his voice that did not go unnoticed by his girlfriend. She sighed. She felt guilty for half accusing him when he clearly did not even want to see the other woman.

Sunny Flare fidgeted with her feet a little bit and looked at Hawk who was looking at her, waiting for a response. She crossed her arms under her chest and closed her eyes a little bit as she was contemplating what to say. But she knew that she had to apologize.

“I’m sorry. It’s just a lot to take in. Principal Celestia kicked you out of Canterlot High and then her sister comes and tries to apologize and sugarcoat her words....” She didn’t continue. She wouldn’t have been able to even if she could. Hawk looked down to the crystal floor and wondered what he was gonna reply with. He did not know what he was gonna say to soothe her.

“I’m sorry too. I should have explained myself better. She didn’t actually try to sugarcoat Celestia’s words. In fact, she seemed rather angry at what her sister did. So, I assumed that Celestia acted alone.” Hawk muttered as he started thinking about the words that the other woman had told him. They did not seem forced, though-out, or even sugar-coated. It just seemed natural. Like when you apologise to someone and truly mean it. Not forced or anything.

The bell suddenly rang, the students started to walk to their classes and Hawk felt himself being dragged by Sunny Flare to their class which was gym. It would be quite a long day, but a long day worth working with.

Luna was currently inside her car. She had found her old phone inside of it and could not help but feel like she should take a look at it. As if something was helping her reconnect to the old phone she had. Her eyes were leaking tears and her hair was a mess. Her red t-shirt was wet from the tears she had produced.

She had just heard the message her old boyfriend, Sombra had given her. Of course, she had seen him after the championship of the tournament in karate, but she couldn’t show affection as her idiot sister was there. She felt a little surprised that Sombra was there and that he was Hawk’s Sensei. She had never expected that. She always knew that Cobra Kai existed when she became Vice-Principal and years later. She just never heard anything about them. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth. She had quit along with her friends because when you are eighteen you can no longer be in the under eighteen championships. They would have to join a karate dojo for those who were adults.

She never joined any other dojo as she always loved Cobra Kai. She may have never loved her old Sensei, Grogar, but she still liked the dojo in itself as it was one of the absolute oldest Karate Dojos in Canterlot. It had been there since the fifties! Sensei Grogar never said who was the first owner of the dojo, but he had jokingly said that he came from a magical place called Equestria and that he destroyed the portal after he arrived in the human world. That man had some serious humour...

Her car had an aroma that held a lot of hot sweat. She remembered all of the times when she did it with Sombra in the backseat. She chuckled. Those were some fun moments. She also remembered the times when she got out after training intently in the Cobra Kai dojo or after the gym workouts. She had not visited a gym in a few years. She still ate healthily. In fact, she was never seen in any photo where she ate cake, candy or anything at all that had a lot of sugar in it. Her sister may be a stupid bimbo, eating all that cake that goes straight to her assets, but not Luna. She was still at the end of a day: a Cobra.

“I wonder what that idiot, Grogar is doing back in Canterlot city. Or perhaps he has a death wish?” Her voice was filled with questions. Questions that she wanted answers to. She did not want to wait an eternity to get them. She did not want to meet the other man as she still had horrible memories of him. Her blood started to lightly boil until it fully went to boiling her literal bones.

“That man acts just like my sister: like a pussy!” She exclaimed as she hit the steering wheel in the middle, causing it to honk. Her left hand felt the impact and it was bulging like a heart, but it wasn’t visible. Her right hand was clutching the old phone closer to her. She started to sweat lightly as the hot air in the car started to get to her, but she really did not sense it because of how angry she was. It would take quite a while before she would calm down.

She smiled down at the phone and placed it on the passenger seat. She could not help but sense the presence of Sombra dear. Her dear Sombra. He was her one true love. He was the one that lit up her life. He showed her that she did not have to face cowards alone. She could do it with people that she trusted. She smiled at that. She placed the car key into the ignition and felt how it roared to life. The place that she was at was very public and had a lot of lookers and she sped down the road.

“I cannot believe that the smurf-looking goat is back here in Canterlot.” She grumbled, clutching the steering wheel, trying to not act out of impulse. She drove from left to right, completely disobeying the laws of the traffic as she heard the cars honked at her. She grinned. She had never felt this alive since she was with Sombra. She saw that there was an old classical Pontiac Firebird. She saw that there was a guy who was drinking. He had blonde hair and was currently sulking in self-pity, that is what Luna believed.

She sped past him, not glancing back. She only looked on the road, not allowing herself to accidentally crash into another car. She did not have insurance...

As she continued to drive she looked into the sky. The clear blue sky showed that sun. Something that she had grown to despise. It represented her sister. She gritted her teeth as she continued to drive. Her muscles were aching because of how hard she held the steering wheel. She, however, did not notice it fully as she was thinking about her “perfect” older sister.

She had lost so much... she lost the tournament back in nineteen-eighty-four. She had lost her ambition, pride, lover, friends, and even family. She didn’t just lose a match. She lost her whole life back then. More than her bimbo sister would ever be able to comprehend.

“You took everything from me...” The voice didn’t sound like Luna. It sounded more sinister. Demonic even. That was the voice she used when she became Nightmare Moon. She had kept her personal demon inside for so long, but now, she could not contain it. It was like an infection that kept spreading that couldn’t be stopped.

Hawk was in the final class of the day and the bell rang. He grabbed his books on his table and walked out together with Pipsqueak. The day had been long and boring, but they had survived. Hawk and Sunny Flare were dominating the school curriculum. Hawk was getting back into getting straight A’s and he was loving it. He walked out of the classroom with Pipsqueak, their faces devoided of any emotion. They walked towards the exit of the school and felt the sun on their body.

“Ah, isn’t this nice? The sun on us? Man, I am so looking forward to the training today. Sensei Sombra also mentioned something about a guest coming to the dojo...” Hawk trailed off as he was wondering who would be visiting the dojo.

“Yeah, I am wondering who is visiting the dojo. It can’t be someone from another dojo, is it? Practically everyone is afraid of Cobra Kai.” Pipsqueak grumbled, remembering all the times his old friends ran away from him for simply being in Cobra Kai. Hawk looked at him and could not help but smirk a little bit.

“Isn’t that a good thing? People are afraid of us, leaves us alone and never knowing what it is we train up our sleeves.” Hawk said, in a playful deceitful voice. Pipsqueak couldn’t stop himself from laughing. It was a pretty good point if you looked at it from that perspective.

“I guess that if you look at it from that perspective that it is a good thing.” Pipsqueak admitted, making Hawk nod as if he was a very wise man. Pipsqueak rolled his eyes at him as he walked with him towards the dojo of Cobra Kai.

Hawk felt very proud over the fact that he was a part of Cobra Kai. How many people could say that? Not many people joined the dojo. Hawk felt how his mind drifted towards the conversation he had with Vice-Principal Luna. He wondered if she had any specific intentions with the conversation. It looked like she did but she never explained it any further. He shook his head. He could not be thinking about that right now. He looked ahead of him and headed for the dojo with Pipsqueak by his side. He felt how his legs moved towards the dojo which made him become the amazing person he is today. He grinned.

He still was thinking about the Rainbooms from time to time. He wondered if they ever figured out about Anon-A-Miss. They had not posted in a few days. He wondered what was going on at CHS. Then he was reminded why he was at Crystal Prep and he would immediately stop thinking about the stupid High School. He wondered what was wrong with principal Celestia. She just expelled him for what seemed to be no reason at all. Had he done something wrong? There was nothing he could think of.

Inside of the Cobra Kai dojo was Sensei Sombra looking at the one person he never thought that he would see again. It was meant to be that way as well. Sensei Grogar was never meant to be there at all. He was meant to simply be a memory from the past that he would tell his future children. Although, he gave up on his first child that was put up for adoption. He still felt guilty about that. Grogar who was wearing black karate clothing was looking at Sombra impassively, not moving an inch from his spot.

Sombra decided to take Grogar in again. He did not know why, but he got this feeling that he should. It was a strange feeling, but he decided to give his old sensei a chance. If it didn’t work out, then he would just kick his old Sensei out.

He was expecting Grogar to say something, but he was not saying anything at all. He was just staring at him in a very unsettling military-like way. Sombra knew that Sensei Grogar did it in a sense to show respect, but he was really creeped out by him just staring and not moving an inch.

“So, are you ready for your first lesson in a few decades. It is really different since the eighties and nineties.” Sombra stated, looking at the eyes of his former Sensei. Grogar smiled a little bit, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. He nodded, not saying a single word.

Ever since Sombra decided to allow him to train students which were a week ago, he had been quiet. Grogar had not been to the lessons though, and today would be his first time to actually step inside the training area of Cobra Kai again. That was something that Sombra never thought he would ever witness again. He stepped up from his chair and walked around the desk, looking at Grogar intently, trying to figure out what his ultimate game was. With Grogar, there was always something much bigger. Always has been, always will.

“I am indeed ready for the first lesson. I am ready and I promise I will not disappoint you.” Grogar said, devoid of any emotion. It irritated Sombra to no end, not knowing what the older man’s emotion was. The older man could be feeling any emotion to Sombra’s knowledge. Who knew if he would get angry or something? You never knew with Grogar.

“Well, that is good. I think you will like three of them. Hawk, Pipsqueak and Tory. They are the best students in this dojo and they have real violence that will make you instantly take a shine to them.” Sombra said, hoping to impress his old Sensei with the students. Grogar looked at Sombra and he sensed that the younger man wanted to impress him. He could not help but grin a little bit, a grin that sent chills down the younger man’s spine. His grin could be seen as demonic.

“Well, the first lesson I want to teach them is: A Cobra Never Dies,” Grogar stated, watching as Sombra walked out of the office and into the training area. Grogar followed, his feet not making a single sound. A Cobra Never Dies.
