Learn to Strike First

Robby's Pov 

I was walking back to my bunk thinking about Aella, I couldn't believe I had snapped at her like that, I did need her and now she probably wouldn't visit anymore. I walked into the room and saw Shawn with his buddies waiting for me 

"But Robby you're my son," he said mimicking "but I hate you dad" he laughed "You're girl left you, you're dad hates you you've got nobody and now you've got nothing" he looked over at my bed and I saw the sheets and blankets ripped off the bed my letters from Aella were ripped to shreds Shawn sniggered 

"Back to your bunk Pane, all of you," a guard said and the three boys walked out of the room "Keene you've got a visitor" I frowned, who the hell would be visiting me? as Shawn said I had no one left 

"Who is it," I asked but the guard wouldn't tell me, I was lead into a room and I saw the familiar girl that I loved so much but she wasn't alone Kreese was with her 

"Hello Son" Kreese smirked I sat down at the table and Kreese began to tell me a story about my dad "the moment I knew he was the real deal was his first All Valley, he made the quarter but he drew a kid named Joe (I had no idea how to spell the actual name in this scene lol) now Joe was a third-generation black belt very skilled way beyond Johnny as the time, your old man lost but he didn't make it easy I saw that look in his eye that he would never let that happen again" 

I glanced over at Aella who looked really confused as to why Kreese was telling me this "Cool story" I said "try telling it to someone who gives a shit" Kreese chuckled 

"You're his son alright"

"Yeah and look where that got me" I responded 

"Come on kid, you know you don't deserve to be here from what Aella told me you tried to break up the fight at Diaz attacked you," Kreese said, that caught my attention I didn't know Aella noticed what happened when I tried to work things out during the fight "Sure you can keep beating yourself up for what went down but by the look of your face it's pretty clear people here are happy to do that for you"

Aella winced when he said that part "You're wasting your time old man the last thing I need is another Sensei"

"Fair enough" Kreese and Aella got up "I'm not sure there's much I can teach you right now anyway except maybe this, all that Miyagi-Do mumbo jumbo that might score you points in a tournament but now you're in the real world kid, you might want to learn how to strike first" Kreese left the room and Aella followed, I grabbed her arm and she looked back at me 

"What?" she asked with sadness in her voice 

"Aella I'm so sorry," I told her "I was angry and I shouldn't have taken it out on you" 

"It's ok Robby, I know you were upset but I just want to help you" she sighed wrapping her arms around my neck "I love you so, so much" 

I smiled and kissed the tip of her nose "I love you too" I was so grateful that she had stuck with me throughout all of this I really don't know what I would do without her. 

"I have to go but I will be back as soon as possible," she told me tears welling in her eyes

"Just the fact that you've visited me three times and that you write me letters every day is good enough," I told her smiling, she gave me a kiss and left the room reluctantly. I decided to check my email, Aella never wrote there because she said it makes her feel more like she's talking to me if she writes a letter. 

First I looked up Johnn Kreese on google because my messages could wait I didn't find much so I went back to email. It was all from the LaRussos and my mom I started to write back to sam when the computer went out 

"Whoops," Shawn said holding the cord "hope you didn't lose anything important" I stood up and face him

"why don't you just leave me alone" I scoffed 

"That ain't ever gonna happen," Shawn told me "you're always going to be looking over your shoulder" 

"Break time is up shitbirds back to your bunks" a guard said and I walked passed Shawn 

"You got lucky this time bitch" he said I turned around and gave him a dirty look, I walked into another room where Shawn was already sitting with his friends I didn't understand how he got there so fast "What's up" he smirked I walked away but then thought about what Kreese said about striking first, I turned back around and charged at Shawn kicking him in the face, I took out the rest of his buddies making it just the two of us 

Shawn rammed me into a wall and I was able to block all of his punches he tried to hit my head against the wall but I used the wall to run up and do a flip over and out of his grasp he threw me into the hallway and kicked me up against a wall I kicked his stomach and was winning the fight other boys came out and started watching us I tackled him but a bunch of guards grabbed us and held us to the floor I smiled knowing I won the fight, Shawn wouldn't mess with me as much anymore.
