The Cobras started to prowl towards Miguel and Robby, and the two slowly retreated backwards until they hit the wall.

"Hey, Cobras!" Miguel cheerfully exclaimed, waving at them. "How are you guys? It's been a while. Can I just say that you guys look absolutely radiant! I don't know if Kreese has you guys on some kind of skincare routine, but you guys are absolutely glowing!"

The Cobras scowled at Miguel and stormed closer. Robby glared at Miguel.

"Great. Piss 'em off while they surround us. That's smart." Robby snapped, sarcastically. Miguel shrugged.

"Eh. They're gonna kill us anyway." Miguel replied.

"You know, you're a terrible person to have in a fox hole!" Robby exclaimed. Miguel nodded and he grabbed a bo staff and a set of nunchucks, and he tossed the bo staff to Robby.

"Maybe. But I'm pretty good at fighting my way out." Miguel replied. "Look, I know we've had our differences, but if we want to get out of this, we're going to need to work together."

"Hey Miguel?" Robby said. Miguel looked at him and Robby nodded. "Don't make it easy for them."

Miguel grinned and spun the nunchucks expertly in his hands.

"Hell no." He replied, and the two boys lunged in unison...

Without even discussing it, Miguel and Robby were perfectly in sync with their tactics. They were using Daniel's circle attack tactic, but were using a much more aggressive version of it. A massive advantage that was in their favor was that they were fighting with weapons, when the Cobras were empty handed.

Robby and Miguel stood back-to-back, swinging their weapons at incoming Cobras, knocking them all backwards. However, the wave of assaults that the Cobras were doing were never ending. Miguel and Robby were soon nearing exhaustion, and Robby turned to Miguel, sweating profusely, about to collapse from exhaustion.

"What do we do?" Robby asked.

"We do plan B." Miguel replied.

"Which is?!" Robby asked. Miguel took a deep breath and dropped the nunchucks to the ground, spreading his arms outwards, not trying to defend himself.

"This is plan B." Miguel stated.

"Seems like a pretty bad plan!" Robby exclaimed. Miguel shrugged.

"You got a better idea?" He asked. Robby didn't say anything and Miguel nodded. "Didn't think so."

He then turned back to the Cobras, who were more confused than anything else.

"What the hell is this?" Tory snapped. Miguel shrugged and walked towards her.

"Go ahead. Kill me, Tory. End my life. I swear to God I'm not going to stop you. I'm not going to fight you. Just do it. Snap my neck. Choke me out. Whatever you want."

"The fuck? You want to die?" Tory spat. Miguel shook his head.

"No. But I also know that you're not going to kill me." Miguel replied, confidently. Tory raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah? What makes you so sure?" She growled.

"Because you're not a bad person, Tory. You've been extremely unlucky in life and you do have serious anger issues, but you're not a murderer. A killer. You've just been manipulated by Kreese to hate everyone and everything around you."

"You don't understand, Miguel. You haven't had to be tough like me. You and Larusso. You both had life handed to you on a silver platter." She stated. Miguel sighed.
