This is a character exploration storyline taking place in an AU after the school fight. It is disconnected from my other Cobra Kai Story but I might end up taking elements from it. Anyway! This is going to take Tory in a different direction than the cartoon villain she turned into in the OG Season 3. We have Kreese for that after all. This story is going to be about punishment, atonement and redemption, leading up to certain events from Season 4.

Just to chime in for my bro. You can bet your ass Stingray won't be in this. He was one of the few who got arrested during that school fight and he's locked away for a very long time.
Hated the Stingray character. When he made me root for Terry Freaking Silver then that is when the character needs to go away.

He's a friend of one of the creators and they brought him on the show as a favor. |

The actor, Paul Walter Hauser, is supposed to be a comedian, so making him comedic relief makes sense but the character just comes off as a weirdo. |

CHAPTER 1: DIVIDED WE FALL
The students yelled and shouted and cheered as the Karate War between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do around them and throughout the school. Robby and Miguel were fighting on the third floor off to the side! Hawk and Demetri were fighting on top of the stairs! Chris fought Mitch through the hallway! The Miyagi-Do Students were ganging up on Stingray! Aisha was...somewhere! Then there was Tory Nichols. Currently throwing hands with the rich bitch princess who'd tried to steal her boyfriend and then tried to back out of the fight like a coward. But Tory wasn't having it. She was going to break this bitch! Beat her! Humiliate her! Drive her into the ground! That was the plan but the fight was not going well for her. Tory recovered from a few hits from Sam and attacked again with a crescent kick that Sam dodged and then she dodged her follow up kick, grabbed her leg, turned her leg and threw her aside before kicking Tory in the back. Tory stumbled forward and bumped into the stairs railing. She slapped her palm against it and attacked again with a series of revolving kicks that Sam ducked and dodged until Tory went down for a sweep kick at her leg that Sam leaped over. Tory got back up but she was nailed with a quick snap front kick from Sam that knocked her back down again. Enraged, Tory quickly got up to his feet and she attacked again. She leaped in the air and kicked at Sam's head but she blocked it, then she blocked the following kick to her mid-section and grabbed Tory's leg, stepped in, grabbed Tory's face, kicked out her leg and threw her to the floor! Sam quickly nailed Tory in the face before backing away and putting some distance between them. Tory rubbed her face but quickly got back up again and went on the attack against Sam. She went for a left foot jab that Sam shut down, then she deflected her jab aside, followed by deflecting her straight right, blocked her right hook kick and the follow up left foot jab, deflected her punches, dodged her kick, avoided her punches, dodged her crescent kick and then she caught her spinning crescent kick only for Tory to bring her other foot around and catch Sam in the face. She stumbled away and wiped her mouth while Tory dropped to the floor and scrambled back to her feet. Tory flared her hands and feet again and pressed the attack. They exchanged blows but once again Sam focused on her defensive moves to fend off Tory's enraged attacks until Tory slipped up and she dodged to the side and kicked her in the stomach. Tory recovered and attacked with a spinning back fist but Sam dodged it, grabbed Tory and flipped her to the floor and quickly nailed her with a few hits and then put distance between them again. Tory jumped back to her feet again but Sam kicked her feet again and threw her down all over again and hit her again. "Dammit!" Tory swore out loud and rolled away and started getting back to her feet again only for Sam to close in, shut down her punches, grab her face and kicked her feet out from her and brought Tory down and hit her again. Tory grabbed her face and looked up at Sam in rage. "You had enough, Tory? You ready to give up yet?" Sam asked. "Because I have more important things to worry about right now." "Oh you cocky bitch. You're gonna die for that!" Tory spat and slid her spike bracelet down around her knuckles and raised her fist with the spikes up now. An improvised spiked brass knuckles. Sam gulped and took a step back from Tory and raised her hands up. "Is that the only way you know how to fight, crazy? Dirty? Some martial artist you are." "This isn't a tournament Larusso. I'll fight how I want. No Mercy." Tory attacked again and Sam resumed deflecting her attacks aside. She struck the sides of her wrists to prevent Tory from hitting her, which was now more important than ever, and shutting down her kicks. It worked, briefly, she was able to defend against Tory's wild offensive without Tory able to get a hit in until Tory suddenly switched it up, grabbed her arm and swiped at it with the spikes and ripped the flesh on impact cutting a series of bloody gashes into her arm. Sam screamed in pain and backed away from Tory as blood ran down her arm. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" Sam shrieked and even the other students were backing off now. But Tory didn't care. She had her chance and she was going to take it. Roaring she lunged at Sam again and swung a backfist at her face with the same spikes that now glistened with Sam's blood. Sam frantically blocked her wrist and tried to grab it only for Tory to kick her to the floor. This was it! This was the end! It was time to end this once and for all! Miguel would never look at this bitch again! Tory leaped on top of her and grabbed her hair and raised her fist. She took in the fear in Sam's eyes. She drank it in. Savored it. She wanted to remember this look on Sam's face forever. "No Mercy, Bitch." Tory grinned and reared back and swung at Sam's face with the bloody knuckles only for Sam to block her and hit Tory and flip her over the railing. Tory sailed over it and down onto the stairs on the other side and landed on her face. She groaned in pain and tried to pull herself up back up to her feet when she noticed Sam's shoes in front of her face. She was only halfway back up before Sam viciously kicked her in the face and sent Tory rolling back down the stairs. Sam gasped for breath while holding her wounded arm with her hand. Right now she could only really use legs but that was more than enough. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to fight through the pain long enough to finish the fight. "You...bitch..." Tory growled again while pulling herself up. She got ready to attack again when two meaty powerful hands reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Enough! That's enough! Stop it Tory that's enough!" Aisha shouted at her. "Let me go! Let me go! Let me at her!" Tory pulled free and turned to face Aisha. "You stay out of this for your own good!" "Tory I'm trying to-" "TORY!" Sam shouted behind her. She turned back around and was met with a dropkick to the chest that sent her sailing backwards until she came back down, landed hard on the stairs and gasped in pain. "Don't. You. EVER! THREATEN HER!" "STOP IT!" Aisha shouted and ran to get in between them. "Stop it! Stop it! Just stop! This is going too far!" Before things could escalate any further they heard a scream of horror from the upper floor and turned around just in time to see Robby kick Miguel over the railing down to the stairs below. There was no time to react. No time to run to his side. No time for a plan. They could only helplessly stare in horror as Miguel plummeted to the ground below and landed on the stairs and railing with a sickening *CRUNCH!* Aisha shrieked in horror. Sam fell to her knees. Tory's mouth dropped. Hawk and Demetri abandoned their own fight to rush to their fallen friends side. Robby couldn't move. Couldn't think. His arms went limp and he felt his legs give out from under him as he collapsed. The sheer horror of what he'd just done falling on him all at once. Sam's sorrowful scream of horror echoed throughout the halls of West Valley High School. It would haunt the student bodies for years. "MIGUEL!"

Sam's sorrowful scream of horror echoed throughout the halls of West Valley High School. It would haunt the student bodies for years. "MIGUEL!"
They gasped for air and stumbled on their feet, the world seemed to spin around them. Desperate for some form of relief they sought out every solution. Ignoring it, working through it, using it to fuel strength. But nothing seemed to work. With the passing of each moment the pain only seemed to get worse and worse. For a moment they feared it would never stop. Their bodies hurt all over. Their legs hurt, their arms hurt, their heads hurt, their bodies were completely wracked with pain from the fight. But nothing hurt as much as their chests. Cold shivers shot through their bodies and their hands and legs were trembling. Oceans of tears poured down their eyes and cries of sorrow escaped their lips as Miguel Diaz was loaded onto a stretcher and carefully loaded into an ambulance. Samantha was lead into another one and the EMT's tended to her arm wounds. Tory was lead away in handcuffs and held by police as she was dragged towards the waiting car struggling the whole time as she tried in vain to rush to Miguel's side. "Miguel! Miguel! Wait! Wait please! I need to be with him!" She cried out. "I need to be with him! Miguel!" Tory continued struggling in vain and sobbing even after she was stuffed into the back of the police car. Robby meanwhile had be practically carried into the other one. He was barely able to walk. His legs felt like jelly and he couldn't even see straight through the tears running down his face. "I'm so sorry." He sobbed. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm so sorry. Oh God, Oh God, I'm so sorry Miguel! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!" Eli was loaded up into another ambulance to receive treatment for his cuts from being kicked into the trophy case. Demetri tried to run to the ambulance with him but he was pushed back. "Eli! Eli you're going to be okay man! You'll be okay! I-it'll be f-fine alright? You're going to be okay! I'll find you man! I'll find you!" Hawk said nothing in return and simply rested his head against the pillow and sobbed quietly over the loss of his friend and his injuries and everything this stupid karate fight cost them. Tory was left to stew in the interrogation room with the ice cold metal cuffs binding her hands together and her body aching all over. She felt like she'd been run over by a car. Freaking Hell, Larusso had given her a beating. How did some posh privileged pampered rich bitch learn to fight like that? Kreese and Johnny always said that Miyagi-Crap was supposed to only be for Defense! So how the hell did she lose? With Tory's offensive she should've been able to win easily! It felt like...it felt just like...like back then. 'Tooorrrryyyy...'
No. No. No. She didn't want to be back there. She didn't want to remember! 'Ohhhh Tooooorrryyyyy!'
'Come on Tory! You can back up your words can't you?'
'Come on Nickels! Can't you do any better than this?'
'What's wrong, sweetheart? You having trouble breathing?'
'Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you! Zayne and I are dating! Just an FYI, you know? No hard feelings right?'
'You feel that, Nickels? That's where broke-ass bitches like you belong? Under my heel!'Why? Why? Why? How did it always come down to this?! She worked so hard, she trained so hard, why did she always lose? First it was Clementine Breckenridge and her legion of Beta-Bitches and now Samantha Larusso! How in the hell did they always beat her?! "Hello Miss Nichols." She was snapped out of her thoughts and took in the sharp dressed gentleman in front of her who looked like he'd just stepped out of a Film Noir Movie. He's wearing a plain shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt he's wearing a stylish vest with 7 buttons, it has a fairly deep v-line, it's just narrow enough for the top to remain visible, adding another layer to the overall look of the suit. The jacket perfectly wraps around his body. It has an intricate, but subtle plaid pattern, giving the suit a stylish casual look. The 5 buttons of his double breasted jacket are all buttoned up with the exception of one, a subtle touch of nonchalance which works perfectly. The jacket is slightly longer at the back, it has a vent at the back, there's a pocket on either side and there's a breast pocket which has been left empty. He's wearing pants which have the same color as the jacket, but a slightly different pattern and they're a perfect match for his shoes. He's wearing a stylish pair of plain toe oxfords. To top it all off he's wearing a sleek belt as well. Hello Miss Nichols." The man repeated as he sat down across from her. "I am Detective Drake Carver with the San-Fernando Valley Police Department. I have a few questions for you regarding the altercation at West Valley High School this morning." Tory blinked a few times as if she was clearing her head and she looked the detective in the eyes. "I-is Miguel....is Miguel...okay?" "Miguel Diaz is currently in critical condition. I cannot tell you anything more than that. Now, are you ready to answer my questions?" Tory could only nod weakly. "Okay. Could you describe for me the events of this morning leading up to the fight?" |

He's wearing a plain shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt he's wearing a stylish vest with 7 buttons, it has a fairly deep v-line, it's just narrow enough for the top to remain visible, adding another layer to the overall look of the suit. The jacket perfectly wraps around his body. It has an intricate, but subtle plaid pattern, giving the suit a stylish casual look. The 5 buttons of his double breasted jacket are all buttoned up with the exception of one, a subtle touch of nonchalance which works perfectly. The jacket is slightly longer at the back, it has a vent at the back, there's a pocket on either side and there's a breast pocket which has been left empty. He's wearing pants which have the same color as the jacket, but a slightly different pattern and they're a perfect match for his shoes. He's wearing a stylish pair of plain toe oxfords. To top it all off he's wearing a sleek belt as well. Hello Miss Nichols." The man repeated as he sat down across from her. "I am Detective Drake Carver with the San-Fernando Valley Police Department. I have a few questions for you regarding the altercation at West Valley High School this morning." Tory blinked a few times as if she was clearing her head and she looked the detective in the eyes. "I-is Miguel....is Miguel...okay?" "Miguel Diaz is currently in critical condition. I cannot tell you anything more than that. Now, are you ready to answer my questions?" Tory could only nod weakly. "Okay. Could you describe for me the events of this morning leading up to the fight?" Tory sighed. She might as well get it over with. "I woke up in the morning, checked on my mom, gave her her medicine, helped my brother get ready for school, made him breakfast, dodged my asshole landlord, who, by the way, is a total bloodsucking leech, and then I went to school and you know the rest." "Yes we've heard from everyone at the school and your fellow Cobras have already thrown you under the proverbial bus but I would like to hear you say it. In your own words." (They...threw me under the bus? They...they...sold me out? Oh what am I saying. Of course they did. I lost. I lost the fight and Miguel got paralyzed. Why wouldn't they throw me under the bus?) "Okay...I...I went to school, and, I was still pissed about Sam making moves on my boyfriend, so, I hijacked the intercom microphone and-" "Assaulted Mrs. Bellagamba while doing so." "Oh was that her name?" Tory asked. "Huh. Bellagamba. Okay then. Yeah, I, hijacked the microphone, and she started shouting and tried to grab it back, and I punched her and slammed her on her desk and threw her to the floor and then I called out Samantha LaRusso." Tory paused before continuing. "I was fully prepared to hunt the bitch down through the school but then we ran into each other in the hallway and threw down. She tried to run but Hawk-" "Eli Moskowitz, correct?" "He prefers Hawk but yeah. Um, then we fought some more and that asshole Robby got in the middle of it and tried to stop the fight, but then my Dojomates attacked him and he kicked them away and then Miguel tackled him and...fuck man, everything went to hell after that." "Yes we've seen the phone footage. Would you like to explain why you brought out your Spiked Bracelet?" "Th-that...that wasn't mine." "Miss Nichols, we have camera phone footage of you turning over your spiked bracelets and sliding them down your hand to use them as brass knuckle weapons. Samantha LaRusso's blood is on the spikes, your hands, your clothes, the stairs, the railing and Aisha Robinson's shirt. I would advise not lying to me." Terry blanched and it finally began sinking in just how much she'd screwed up. She gulped and needed to take a breather before she continued. "I-I...I don't know...I-I was...pissed. I just got pissed and wanted to win and she just kept beating me and beating me. I was giving it everything I had and sh-she just...she just..." 'Tooorrrryyyy...' "She just beat me and I've always kept losing to all of these rich bitches just like her and I couldn't take it anymore." Tory admitted. "I brought out the bracelet...I've kept it on me if anybody ever got handsy with me when I didn't want them to...because I thought it would give me the edge. But I still lost. You know, Cobra Kai, Sensei Kreese, he was always saying that...that defeat does not exist in our dojo. Fear does not exist in our dojo and pain shouldn't exist in our dojo. Unless we're giving it to our opponent. Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy, you know?" "Cobra Kai you say? Is that like a motto?" The Detective asked. "That's right." The Detective had her. They were definitely getting somewhere now. "Could you elaborate? Why not expand upon that a bit? I'm curious about this whole No Mercy thing." |
