The second match of the Seikai Taikai Tryouts was over. Sam had left the trecherous Devon Lee gasping on the mat 3-1. Even with the cheating bribed ref in their corner this was all a Cobra would ever amount to. Sam bowed and walked off the mat to the cheering embraces of the Miyagi-Fang Students and her loving father. "You did it, Sam, I knew it! I knew you could do it honey! Great job!" Daniel complimented his daughter among the sea of compliments she was receiving from the rest of the dojo.
"Thanks Dad! I love you!"
"I love you, Sam!" He declared.
Anthony descended the stairs to hug his sister but was interrupted by Kenny calling over to them. "Ewwww gross! You actually want to touch that shit-eater?!" He taunted.
Sam looked up at the pained look on her brother's face and back at the psychotic snake. "What's he talking about?"
"Go on, Lapusso you shithead, go on and tell her!" Kenny taunted again.
"Damn man! We can smell you from here! Take a shower once in a while!" Kyler added with a laugh.
Anthony just kept his head down and sat down next to Hawk.
"Yeah that's right, sit down you pussy!" Kenny called again. The Cobras laughed as Terry signaled to the ref.
"Ah, yes, uh, seeing as how we have a tie for a tie, we believe that the best way to handle this and see who is truly worthy to enter Seikai Taikai would be to have one more match to determine the true champion! Will Samantha Larusso and Kenny Payne please step onto the mat!"
"Sam! Sam wait!" Hawk coughed and descended down to her level to whisper in her ear. "Solar Plexus Punch. Takes you breath away. Watch out."
She nodded and rubbed his back. "Get your rest." She told him and after one last look up at Anthony who was choking back a sob she walked to the mat.
"Get in there and annihilate her. Destroy her. Make her suffer. No Mercy." Silver informed Kenny.
"No problem." Kenny replied with a smile and ran up to the mat.
"Hey there, Laslutto, you ready to eat shit like your loser brother?" Kenny taunted her.
"What did you do?" She asked coldly.
"Speak up."
"What did you do to my brother?" She asked coldly again.
"Sheeesh! It wasn't even a big deal! I don't know what he's so sad about! I mean, all we did was a little shit swirly. It was harmless fun! God, don't get your panties in a twist!" Kenny laughed good naturedly and slapped her arm...and then he paused as he saw the look in her eyes. It was a look that told him that Samantha Larusso wasn't home anymore. She wasn't there on the mat. She was relieving every horrible thing that Cobra Kai had done to her and her family. Trashing the dojo, the school fight, Tory trying to kill her, the aftermath, the arcade fight, the home invasion, Tory trying to kill her, Hawk being jumped by the Cobras despite the alleged ceasefire, the prom fight, her failure at the tournament, all of it, all of it, all of it, replaying on a loop with the pain from her family playing on a loop in her mind and Kenny's confession echoing in her mind. She looked back at Anthony who was keeping his head down and hiding his sobs. At her mother comforting him. At Hawk trying to do the same despite his current condition and then she looked back at the Cobras, the sociopathic monsters, all of them laughing at it. Her rage boiled over and washed over her like a tidal wave.
"BEGIN!" The ref called out and Samantha Larusso stepped out of the driver's seat. Jesus take the wheel.
What followed could barely even be described as a fight as Samantha proceeded to absolutely destroy Kenny in a completely one-sided beating as her rage over everything she and her friends and loved ones had been put through by these maniacs overwhelmed her.
You don't fuck with family.
You don't fuck with family.
The match was over. Samantha dragged Kenny across the mat, off of it, across the ground and towards the Cobras and dropped him in front of Silver and Kim. For what seemed like an eternity she stared down the soulless monsters that had trained these rabid animals to torment her family and friends without a single ounce of fear in her eyes. The only flicker of emotion was pure and utter seething hatred.
For them and Cobra Kai and all of their associates and students. Without a word Sam turned and walked away, crossed the mat, walked past her friends up to her brother and pulled him into a gentle embrace.
Blood stained her Gi and the Mat.
Kenny was shaking like a leaf and bawling like a baby.
Nobody was laughing at them anymore.
For the first time since the school fight, the Cobras were faced with the consequences of their actions and not one of those monsters could think of a single thing to say. Kyler's eyes were wide with terror. Devon had her mouth covered in a silent scream. Tory was backed up against a wall having watched everything from hiding after she nearly left earlier. Even Terry and Kim were silent.
The only sounds were Kenny's pained sobs on the floor and calls for an ambulance.
It didn't matter to her. Sam got what she wanted. She made the little brat PAY for what he did to her brother and sent a fucking message to those deranged animals.
"You Don't Get To Hurt Us Anymore."
