Part 1: Johnny was a cop, no he was a damn good cop, a Detective in homicide. His father had wanted Johnny to follow him in to the family law firm, but shining a seat with his ass wasn't for Johnny. He wanted to do something that helped people, an ideal he'd had instilled in him since childhood when he took up karate training. His instructor....no he couldn't think about that now, he had a case to solve. An old man had been found dead. Drowned in a barrel of saki. Johnny knew the man, Miyagi, an immigrant who had popped up on police radar on more than one occasion over the years. Nothing ever proven of course. Nothing suspicious about an old drunk being found dead in a barrel of saki you might think, but then how do you explain the hands being tied behind his back if this isn't murder. On top of this, Miyagis friend and partner Daniel LaRusso was unable to be found. LaRusso was also known to Johnny and not with any great fondness. His ex Ali Mills had dumped him one summer and had flirted with LaRusso just to make him jealous. It worked. Too well in fact. None of this mattered anymore though. Johnny needed to find LaRusso and quick. He headed back to the station to go through what he had. Back at the station Johnny sat pondering who could have killed the old man. it seemed he had a list as long as his arm. Miyagi had made a few enemies over the years, so Johnny would just have to go through them one at a time. At least until LaRusso turned up that is. Top of his list was Senator Terry Silver. Terry Silver was a billionaire industrialist and a senator who had done more for this country than any man. Surely he couldn't be involved? He certainly had previous with Miyagi. It wouldn't go down well with the brass if he accused the Senator but he had to at least question him. He picked up his car keys and set off, remembering to call in to the local strip bar on the way. He needed eyes and ears on the street and nobody had their finger on the street pulse than Freddy the Weasel. Freddy the Weasel or Freddy Fernandez to use his real name was an old high school acquaintance of Johnny, who worked as a bar tender in the local titty bar. He'd done time for a few minor things but was now on his 3rd strike. He could have gone down for handling stolen auto parts but Johnny did him a solid and kept his name out of it. Now he owed Johnny big time, so Johnny used him as a snitch. He told Freddy to keep his eyes and ears open and to report any info on the whereabouts of LaRusso. Then he set off for his meeting with Senator Silver.
Looking forward to seeing Kreese in the story. Only thing I saw Kreese instill in him was to show his enemies no mercy and then a trophy into his throat when he lost a tournmanet, unless you're talking about a different instructor. Still a good story though and i'm interested in seeing how it plays out.
Part 2: As he drove up to the house he was impressed. His parents house was big, but this was a whole new level. As he pulled up at the gates a voice sounded over an intercom 'Mr Silver is expecting you. Please come in'. Mr silver was expecting you? Let's see why, thought Johnny. He pulled up and walked over to the huge house and was about to ring the bell when the door opened. There stood a smartly dressed butler who beckoned Johnny in and directed him to a door on his left. On entering he saw Terry Silver sat in a huge armchair smoking a cigar. 'Would you like one detective', he offered, 'Cubas finest'. Johnny declined and started to speak when the Senator interrupted him 'You're here about the slope being offed aren't you?. Johnny, a little flustered, replied 'How could you know about that, he was only found a couple of hours ago'? 'Oh, I have contacts everywhere Mr Lawrence', replied Senator Silver. 'Your next question, was I involved? Sadly no'. 'Well', proferred Johnny, 'You did have a history with him I understand'? 'Yes, that's true', said the Senator,' But John asked me to stand down. He said enough was enough and that any further involvement by myself could put me in a bad light. I reluctantly agreed to Johns wishes'. 'Are you saying John Kreese is involved'? he asked. 'No', said Silver 'that's not Johns style. He would rather face him mano a mano and snap his neck with his bare hands than drown him. You know, he regrets what happened between you two. He wishes things could have worked out. You were his star student. Even better than me in fact. You should go and see him'. Johnny felt a little uncomfortable. He too wished things could have been worked out. 'Anyway', he finally said, 'just as a matter of striking you from my list, can you confirm your whereabouts this evening'? 'Certainly', said Silver, 'I spent this evening prior to now at a dinner function. There were 250 witnesses'. 'Thankyou Senator, that's all. I'll see my own way out'. As he was leaving Silver shouted 'Hey Johnny. If somebody offed that slope like that, then you can be sure of one thing....he deserved it. The man was up to no good and that's a fact'. Johnny turned and said 'One more thing Senator. Do you know the whereabouts of a Mike Barnes'? Silver looked slightly uncomfortable but replied 'Borneo, I believe he went there some years back'. Johnny left thinking to himself 'Yeah, I bet he did. Probably part of some landfill site now. It didn't go well for you if you failed Terry Silver'. Johnny decided to head to a place he never imagined seeing again...the Cobra Kai dojo. It was late at night but he knew John Kreese would be there. He arrived and walked to the door. He was shaking like a leaf. Not fear, anticipation. He hadn't seen sensei Kreese in almost 10 years. He opened the door slowly when a voice boomed out of the darkness 'COME IN MR LAWRENCE'! There stood his old teacher, large as life. 10 years older but still a formidable sight. 'To what do I owe the pleasure....after all this time'? Johnny stammered 'I...I...I' 'C'mon Mr Lawrence, spit it out. What, are you afraid? Fear does not exist in this dojo'! At that he roared with laughter 'Welcome home, Johnny'. Johnny smiled a smile he hadn't done since 10 years ago. 'Sensei (he couldn't help still having respect for the man) I'm sure you know of Miyagis death by now. I'm sure Senator Silver told you. I'm just trying to cross you off my list'. 'Look Johnny', he replied, 'Nobody hated that slope more than me. But I can tell you now it was nothing to do with me. Can I prove where I've been all night? No. But this whole thing doesn't look right. That slope and his jerkoff 'friend' were up to no good, and if you ask me their chickens came home to roost'. Johnny thanked him and made to leave. As he was going Kreese said 'Watch your back on this one Johnny. All is not as it seems'. Johnny left. He was glad he went to see Kreese, but wondered what he meant with that parting comment. Johnny headed back to the station. Once he got there the captain said 'Good, you're here. We need to have a head to head about what we know so far'. The meeting revealed that Miyagi and his life partner LaRusso had taken a trip to Okinawa a month ago and had arrived back just 2 days earlier. It was known that they visited an old friend of Miyagi called Sato. Johnny was given the task of contacting Sato to see if he could shed some light on things. It was 11.00pm here in LA, so what time was it in Okinawa? He checked, it was 4pm. Good, not too early, not too late. He got put through straight away and was talking to someone who didn't seem to speak English. 'Sorry', said Johnny, 'does anybody speak English'? After some time a voice answered 'Hello, who is this'? Johnny answered 'Hi, I'm with the LA police department in the United States. I wondered if I could speak to Sato san please'? After a moment the voice replied 'So sorry to tell, master Sato was murdered two days ago'. Johnny stared at the phone in disbelief 'I..I...I'm sorry' he stammered, 'How did he die'? The voice replied 'Master Sato was found strangled by his belt'. Johnny put the phone down thoughts racing through his head 'WTF! This is far more serious than an old drunk being found dead in a barrel of saki'! Just then his cell phone rang. It was Freddy the Weasel, he answered 'Tell me you got something Freddy'. Yeah I've got something. I'm just waiting for confirmation, but LaRussos piss yellow car has been spotted. Meet me at the Titty Bar in an hour'. Johnny replied 'Right, 12.30 at the Titty Bar'.
Part3: As Johnny was leaving the station a voice shouted 'Johnny. Call for you on line 1'. Johnny said 'Get them to call back later'. 'It's Okniawa Police, they need to talk to you now', came the reply. Johnny raced to the phone, grabbing it eagerly 'Hello, Johnny Lawrence' he almost shouted in to the handset. The voice at the other end started talking 'Hello Mr Lawrence, this is Captain Kanazawa of the Okinawa Police. I believe you called earlier regarding Master Sato'? 'Yes', replied Johnny. 'Well', the voice went on' there is something you should know, I think'. 'I'm listening', Johnny replied. The voice at the other end continued to relate how just before Miyagi and his 'friend' arrived, Sato had received a visit from his nephew Chozen who he hadn't seen for many years. There had been raised voices and Chozen had left swearing that before long his Uncle would regret the error of his ways'. Johnny asked 'Do you think he had anything to do with Sato sans death'? The voice went on 'No. We found Chozens body in a cave near where they used to perform the Obon festival. He had a belt wrapped around his neck and plastic bag on head'. 'My god', Johnny shouted 'Just like Sato'. 'Furthermore', the voice went on, 'Kumiko, a girl very close to Master Sato, is missing. We believe she has been taken against her will to the United States'. 'Why do you believe she was taken to the United States and why against her will'? asked Johnny. 'Because she would have told people where she was going if of her own free will, and the last people she was seen with was Miyagi san and his partner' replied the voice. Johnny thanked the captain for sharing the information and promised to keep him up to speed on the investigation. His mind was swimming with questions. Did the slope and Larusso kill Sato and Chozen? Had they kidnapped this Kumiko? How has Miyagi ended up dead in a barrel of Saki, did Larusso off him? He needed answers and only Larusso could provide them. Time to meet with Freddy and find that piss yellow heap of junk. He met Freddy at the Titty Bar. 'What you got for me Freddy, it had better be good'? Freddy replied 'One of my sources told me that Larusso and Miyagi had a derelict warehouse downtown, so I asked him to have a look around and let me know if any of those two jerks turn up there. He told me Larussos piss mobile has been parked out side for a couple of hours now'. 'Take me there' said Johnny eagerly. They jumped in to Johnnys car and raced to the warehouse. On arriving, Johnny saw the piss mobile instantly. He switched off the engine and said 'Right Freddy, I'm gonna take a look. If I'm not back in 15 minutes call it in on the radio. Tell them you've been told by Detective Lawrence to call for back up. Got it'? 'Sure Johnny', he replied. Johnny made his way up to the warehouse, stopping to eye the piss yellow crap heap before quietly entering. Jesus, what did Larusso still see in this POS, he thought. He started up some stairs when he heard a commotion. Drawing his weapon he bounded the stairs two at a time. When he got to the top he stopped momentarily. There in front of him, not fifty feet away was Larusso with a samurai sword raised above his head. He was about to bring it down on a person on the floor. 'Hold it Larusso', he shouted, 'Drop that sword NOW'! Larusso stared, confused 'Johnny what the hell'? 'Drop it...Now' bellowed Johnny. Larusso loooked at his victim then made to bring the sword crashing down. Johnny fired, hitting Larusso in the shoulder, spinning him round and causing him to drop the sword. Johnny raced over, kicking the sword away from him. Larusso looked up 'Johnny, you don't understand...' 'I understand......' Johny started to say, then it all went black. When he woke after what seemed like hours, he was tied to a chair. He looked to his left and saw Larusso tied to another chair. 'What the hell is going on'? he asked. 'I can answer that Mr Lawrence'.....
I'm not doing it for appreciation, I'm doing it as my tribute to these boards.
Part 4: Johnny looked to his right and there stood a beautiful Asian female. Beautiful but deadly looking as she brandished the samurai sword Larusso was holding earlier. 'Miss Kumiko'? asked Johnny. 'Ah, you are a good detective, well done Mr Lawrence' replied Kuniko 'What's going on here Larusso' he said to Daniel. 'This bitch killed Miyagi, and now thanks to you we're both dead. This sucks man...it sucks'! At that Kumiko slapped Larusso hard across the face. Such was the force it even made Johnny wince. Lord knows how Larusso felt? Kumiko shouted 'SILENCE, you bloated walrus! Speak again and I shall cut your tongue out'. Daniel spluttered ' Ow, that hurt, man'. Then he looked at Kumiko as she reached for his tongue. 'Oh man, why am I so stupid', he said and tried to close his mouth so Kumiko couldn't grab his tongue. But she then pulled a Snickers Bar from beneath her Kimono. Immediately Daniel started to salivate and out popped his tongue. Kumiko swiftly grabbed it and sliced it off with the sword. Larusso howled in pain as he frantically tried to speak. ' Woo funnn basssaa' he garbled. Kumiko shouted 'ENOUGH'! and stuck the sword in to Larussos abdomen and drew the sword across, splitting him open and spilling his innards on to his lap. At this point all Johnny could think of was 'well I guess he did have guts after all'. At that, he realised the deadly Kumiko was staring at him. She raised the gun she had taken off him 'Any last words'? At that a voice came from behind her 'Hey slope! Nobody gets to kill a Cobra Kai without my permission'. It was John Kreese. Kumiko spun round aimed the gun at Kreese and said 'Stay where you are, or I'll shoot'. Kreese advanced on her snarling 'Do what you got to do, only you'd better kill me or you're in big trouble darling'. Kumiko fired once, twice three times, hitting Kreese in the chest but he kept coming. Suddenly he was on her. He gave her a swift slap with the back of his hand, knocking her out cold. He turned to Johnny and grinned 'Saving your butt again eh Mr Lawrence'. He quickly untied Johnny, then looked at Larusso. 'He's dead'. Daniel opened his eyes 'Woe am wot' he garbled. 'Well maybe not yet', grinned Kreese, 'but you aint gonna make it'. 'Oh mah, tha ucks' garbled Larusso, and died. Soon the sound of police sirens filled the air. Johnny looked at Kreese 'Are you OK Sensei? She shot you 3 times'. 'Just flesh wounds Johnny. I've had worse in 'Nam. I'll just pop in to the walk in on the way home'. Back up arrived on the scene and Kumiko was taken away for questioning. Johnny said to his old mentor 'Listen man, you saved my life. I'll never forget this, but right now I've got to go and clean up this mess. This has been one hell of a night'. 'Yeah', said Kreese 'go and do your thing. We'll catch up later, you know where I am'.
Wow. I know I said I wasn't doing it for appreciation, but to be acknowledged by a legend such as yourself, thankyou. I don't know what else to say.
Part 5: Back at the station Johnny sat in the interrogation room with Kumiko. She had waived her right to a lawyer and was happy to talk to Johnny and not withhold anything. 'Miss Kumiko', Johnny started, 'can you tell us what happened here. In your own time please'. Kumiko put her hand to her cheek, which was still red from Kreeses hand. 'In your own time please', said Johnny not wanting to rush her, but eager to know. 'It started a month ago when Miyagi and his fat friend arrived in Okinawa', she said. 'At first, everthing OK. But as time went on there were many discussions with Master Sato. I knew they were talking about me, and were planning on taking me to United States. I had lived at Master Sato's house since Miyagis last visit when father died. His fat friend wanted me to come to United States then. I didn't want to seem impolite so told them I would follow in couple of weeks. After this I lied and said I had job with dance troupe in Tokyo. I lied to Master Sato and said I couldn't go to United States because I was washing my hair. He accepted that and let me live at his house as it has many bathrooms. enough to get my hair really clean he said. So I managed to hold them off for many years. A few months ago, Chozen, Master Sato's nephew, returned and Sato welcome him home. I started affair with Chozen unknown to Master Sato. Things were wonderful until Miyagi and his chubby friend return. Sato called me to his study a few days ago and said your hair clean now. You go to United States with Miyagi and his friend. I said I need to condition hair first or will get split ends, but he say you can do in United States. As I was crying that night I overhear Miyagi and his fat friend laughing and saying how they will use me. They wanted to make me lactate so his chubby friend could dress up as baby and feed on me. I ran from Master Sato's house and begged Chozen to have word with Uncle. He tried but no good. We meet later in secret cave near where Oban festival held and made love'. Johnny said 'Did you know Chozen was dead'? 'Yes', replied Kumiko, 'We liked to have wierd sex. He liked me to put plastic bag over his head. He said it heightened arousal. I didn't know he was dying, I thought he was just excited as I pushed down on his shoulders. I didn't know he was trying to raise hands to pull bag off'. 'It was too late. Nothing could be done for him' she cried. 'What about Master Sato' asked Johnny. 'Well, I must accept that I go to United States with Miyagi and his friend. Before we leave for airport I say I just go to bathroom. I sneak upstairs and see Sato meditating, so I pick up belt and strangle him, then hide his body in closet. Then I go straight out to taxi for airport with Miyagi and friend. I arrive here two days ago. Straight away they start with their demands that I start to lactate. So I sent idiot Daniel san to buy some peanut butter as it helps with process. Being dumb, he fell for it and left in his horrible car. I then asked Miyagi if he like play game. He said Miyagi love games. So I told him that there was a silver dollar at the bottom of the barrel of saki, but he couldn't use his hands to get it out. To make sure he no cheat I tied his hands behind back. When he leaned over I grab legs and drown him. I then wait at front of house for the fat one. I told him that Miyagi gone to warehouse and we must follow. He fell for it. When at warehouse I knock him out, It easy to do as he so soft, and tie him up. When he wake I tell him I kill Miyagi. I didn't realise his arms so skinny, especially for a fat guy. He slipped ropes and pick up sword that I had hoped to use to slice off his tiny manhood if I could find it, and chase me. I ran but fell over. You know the rest'. Johnny let out a long sigh. It was over. He hadn't liked Larusso or the slope, but still felt they hadn't deserved it. He was leaving the room when the captain beckoned him over. 'Johnny', he said 'you're not gonna like this'. 'What'? 'She's going back to Okinawa. Nothing we can do', said the captain. Johnny stared, shocked he finally shouted 'That's bulls_it man! She's killed two Americans'. 'Well', said the captain, 'Miyagi wasn't American. Larusso was half Italian, so technically not American either. It's politics Johnny. nothing I can do'. Johnny looked over at Kumiko as she left with the Okinawan Ambassador. She looked back and smiled as she left. Just then, some of the officers that had been to the Miyagi place came rushing in. 'Johnny. You'll never guess what we found at the slopes house? Pictures, lots of them. All young boys'. Johnny said 'Right. So'? His colleague continued 'Naked young boys. Also, under the crawl space of that *beep* hole...graves. Lots of them. Maybe more than twenty. We're checking the pictures against missing persons. This has been going on a long time Johnny. That chick did this country a favour when she offed that slope and his lover'. 'JESUS'! thought Johnny. He couldn't take it all in. He needed to clear his head. This had been one hell of a night. It was daylight now, 8.30 am. Only one thing Johnny wanted to do now and that was go to see the greatest Karate man he had ever known. JOHN KREESE.
Epilogue: Johnny arrived at the Cobra Kai dojo and as he entered he heard a lot of voices. Odd really seeing as it was not even 9 am. On entering he was met by Kreese 'Johnny boy, c'mon in and let me introduce you to the new generation of Cobra Kai'. 'This is Arazi25'. 'Pleased to meet you', said Johnny. 'Maixui, telecaster, tachoX2, striderwind and shield'. 'Pleased to meet you guys said Johnny. 'Moving on, we have romefan123, frogclarke and cruising109'. 'Pleased to meet you guys', said Johnny again. Suddenly the dojo doors opened and Johnny couldn't believe his eyes. Bobby, Tommy, Dutch and Jimmy! 'Guys I gotta come back to you'. The new guys said in unison 'Go Johnny, just go talk to your buddies'. There was lots of high fiving and backslapping. Kreese joined them, 'Boys it does me proud to see you all back together. Johnny, these guys have been running my satelite clubs in the valley. The new guys are from all over. Cobra Kai is spreading like wild fire. This club though is the Hombu, the headquarters. Johnny I want you to run it'. Johnny stared for a moment, 'You mean you're leaving'? 'Retiring' answered Kreese. 'But why', asked Johnny. 'You've got years left in you as a top instructor'? 'Maybe so Johnny, but I've given most of my life to Karate and now it's time for me to get back. I've fallen in love Johnny and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I've known her for years. Who would believe it, she was right under my nose all this time, but it took last nights events to open my eyes'. Johnny said 'But where will you go'? Kreese answered 'Tahiti. that's where Mimona lives. I'm going to live the good life. I leave today'. 'You deserve it sensei. I'm proud that you have asked me to run the dojo. I won't let you down', beamed Johnny. 'I know you won't kid', replied Kreese. At that, the dojo doors opened again and in walked Freddy the Weasel accompanied by someone Johnny didn't recognise. 'Freddy, what are you doing here'. 'I train here now thanks to sensei Kreese', replied Freddy, 'He said he can turn me in to a winner'. 'Well he can't because he's retiring', said Johnny. 'But you know what? I can'. Freddy replied 'Awesome. Thanks Johnny..er I mean sensei. Oh, this is the guy who found Larusso for you', he indicated to his friend 'Please meet benosheabutters2'. 'So you found Larusso', said Johnny as he shook his hand. 'Nice work man, come and join the party, meet the guys'. benosheabutters2 said 'Sorry, but I've got to go. I just wanted to meet you'. With that he turned around and walked out of the dojo. Meanwhile at the back of the dojo cruising109 was eyeing up the weasels friend. He recognised him but didn't know where from. Freddy walked over to meet the guys and cruising asked 'Hey Freddy, who was your friend'? Freddy replied 'That was benosheabutters2, he helped sensei Johnny find Larusso. Why'? I thought I recognised him', said cruising109. Suddenly it dawned on him and his face went white. Romefan nudged him 'Hey buddy what's wrong? You look like you seen a ghost'. That guy with Freddy wasn't benosheabutters2, It was wears.alan'!!!! The whole dojo fell silent as everyone stared at each other. Everyone was frozen in time just for a moment. suddenly,as one, they all sprang to life and raced for the door of the dojo. Outside, wears.alan climbed in the waiting cab. 'Where to buddy'? asked the driver. 'Airport please' said wears.alan. 'You going somewhere nice'? the cabbie asked. 'Tahiti to wait for a friend',said wears.alan 'I've got some unfinished business'.
The Kai came crashing out to see the cab driving off in to the distance. Muhahhahahhaha! The end? Acknowledgements:

A very enjoyable read. The stuff with Kreese was hilarious! The "Hey slope" line and backhand slap had me laughing like the days of old 😀
Thanks for going through the effort of writing and posting. It is very much appreciated

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people he didn't exist!

If you had paid $4000 for a plane ticket to the UK (yeah right about ten times the actual cost) then you must be asking yourself 'Why am I so stupid'? It's the sort of thing KK3 Daniel would do. Anyways, if you had, then you would have met me at Harrods. You probably would have shit your pants and then we would have had a laugh and a pint together (after changing your pants).
Btw, when did you rediscover the boards?
The ticket cost so much because I bought it a round trip & same-day departure.
I really thought you'd show but alas you didn't.
I was even planning to be charitable and "win" a point and "lose" a point (as it were) to carry you through the fight and leave you with your honor as an Englishman.
Well you can pay me back by traveling to the US and meeting me for an ultimate show-down. But I warn you.. there will be no mercy this time!
Please try to behave yourself this time.... your "tomfoolery" resulted in the destruction the IMDB boards.
I've seen Cobra Kai... it's the f*cking greatest show on television.
The show proves what a bad guy Whinielle is... he a huckster used car salesman and has his family mafia thugs vandalize Johnny's car "Mr. LaPusso sends his regards!"
How did you feel now that Cobra Kai has regained it's status as the champion of the Under 18 All Valley Tourney?
Are you sad that Mr. Miyagay bought the farm?
Most importantly, are you dreading the inevitable return of Terry Silver and what he will DO to Whinielle?
Me responsible for the destruction of these boards? I'm flattered that you think I wield such power. At least I kept my word and let you guys say goodbye to each other in peace eh?
Actually a few years back I predicted that Johnny would become a handyman, whereas the chimps who disagreed said he would be a top notch lawyer.
Having said that, I totally rooted for Johnny in Cobra Kai. Despite his bad luck he grew up to be the better person. LaRusso, without Miyagi to guide him reverted to the jerk he was. Success has just made him a bigger jerk .
As for Cobra Kai regaining its' status, let's be honest here, who was there to challenge them before Miyagi? No one. So now he's gone, who's gonna challenge them? No one really.
Sad that Miyagi bought the farm? No, this is how life rolls.
I'm looking forward to Silver returning. I hope he has a big curly moustache.
Whinielle was an insufferable jerk with or without Miyagay.
In fact, Whinielle was at his worst behavior in KK3!
He was only becoming slightly less intolerable when he was under the tutelage of Terry Silver.
Indeed Johnny fell on hard times after the evil Miyagay and Whinielle came into his life but at least he's rebuilding his life and making something of himself.
No way that car dealership of Whinielle's is legit. Who sells cars by boasting about a tourney the salesman won 35 years ago? The business is a front for his LaPusso family's mob dealings.
He was less of a jerk when Miyagi was there. Notice how he always fucks up when he isn't there. Especially in KK3.
He wasn't becoming less intolerable at all under Silver. He was still asking why instead of just doing.
As for mob dealings....well he is Italian.
This isn't about what i would have done. This is about LaRusso being less intolerable under Silvers instruction, he wasn't.
Stop moving the focus away from the topic.
