PREVIOUSLY: There are three weeks to go until the All Valley tournament and Samantha and her students are training hard, one day Daniel shows up at the dojo and says the students are in great hands, he also wishes them good luck and says he will definitely be there after, the training ends, Victor asks Samantha for help, because he is in love with Kate, but doesn't know how to tell her, Samantha then suggests that he be himself and take Kate to Golf N' Stuff and so he does, Victor and Kate have a great night and they even kiss, meanwhile Miguel asks Johnny Lawrence for help to deal with this situation, Johnny then says that Samantha is training karate just because that is part of who she is, as well as part of who Miguel is, Miguel denies it for a while but changes his mind after he and Johnny have a friendly spar, the next day Samantha is startled to see a huge bruise on Kate's face, the girl then explains that she was defending her mom from her violent stepdad, Samantha then tells Kate that she should have told her about her problems at home and says that no matter what, she will always be there for her.
Three weeks have passed and finally the time has come, the 82nd All Valley under-18 karate tournament is today.
Samantha: Good morning everyone, today is the big day, are you ready?
Students: YES SENSEI!
Meanwhile:
Tory: You guys trained a lot for this day, let's show Samantha Larusso and Miyagi-Fang what we're made of.
Students: YES SENSEI!
Bianca: They think they're a match for us, well they're about to see something, as we say in my country, today the Cobra is going to smoke.
Cobra Kai Student: What?
Bianca: Never mind, it's just how we Brazilians say things are going to get ugly, what matters is that for the sake of sensei Nichols and for the sake of Cobra Kai we can't lose to these guys and I'm willing to do anything to win.
A few minutes later:
Referee: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 82nd All Valley under-18 karate tournament, let's meet some of the participating dojos, the first to arrive is Cutting Edge Karate.
The students of that dojo appear.
Referee: The next one is Yoshukai Karate.
The students of that dojo appear.
Referee: Now, Xtreme Martial Arts.
The students of that dojo appear.
Referee: Let's not forget the defending champion, ladies and gentlemen, All-Star Karate.
The students of that dojo appear.
Referee: Here comes Topanga Karate.
The students of that dojo appear.
Referee: And now for the moment you've all been waiting for, led by the first female champion, sensei Tory Nichols, here comes the dojo with the coolest name in the Valley... what? it was my father who said that, Cobra Kai.
Tory arrives with her students.
Referee: And last but not least, the dojo formed by two-time champions Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence, currently led by sensei Samantha Larusso, here comes Miyagi-Fang.
Samantha arrives with her students, Daniel, Amanda, Miguel and Johnny are watching from the stands.
Referee: Alright then, let's start the tournament with the skill competition.
Several dojos make their presentations, until finally it's Cobra Kai's turn.
Tory: You know what to do, don't you?
Students: Yes sensei.
The Cobra Kai students start by breaking some boards and showing some weapons, after some time they prepare the Grand Finale, for that they take some ice boards and put them on two concrete blocks, then they set fire to the ice boards and Bianca breaks the flaming ice sheets with one blow.
Referee: Wow, it's going to be hard to beat this one, let's see what Miyagi-Fang has to show us.
Samantha: Come on guys, it's time.
They also show some weapons, fight with sticks and break some boards.
Referee: Wow, they have skills! looks like Cobra Kai will have a tough competitor.
For the Grand Finale, Kate runs and Victor helps her jump very high, to kick four boards that were being held by other students, she manages to break three, but is not able to break the last one.
Referee: Too bad Miyagi-Fang, with that we end the skill competition, Cobra Kai is in the lead with Miyagi-Fang right behind.
Daniel: We failed the Grand Finale of the skills competition again, if I didn't know the truth I would say it's a plot.
Johnny: Chill out Daniele, there's still the male and female tournaments, they can still win.
Amanda: 30 years later and I still can't understand the rules.
Miguel: I trust you Samantha, I know your students can beat these guys.
After several matches the qualifiers for the quarter finals are defined.
Referee: The first fight of the quarterfinals of the women's tournament will be Katherine Grey from Miyagi-Fang against Julia Miller from Cobra Kai.
Samantha: She's going to face a Cobra Kai student right away, you can do it Kate.
Bianca: Do your best Julia.
Tory: Finish her off.
Julia: Yes sensei!
Julia was one of Bianca's friends who was attacking Kate in the first chapter, she was an average sized girl with fair skin and brown hair, she then climbs onto the mat to face Kate.
Referee (while he was talking they did what he said): Facing me, bow, facing each other, bow and... FIGHT!

Victor: You did it Kate.
Kate: Your fight starts soon, good luck.
Victor: I'm a little nervous actually, everyone here is so much bigger than me.
Samantha: Don't worry Victor, physical strength is not everything in a fight, in fact, almost every fight I won was not because I was bigger or stronger than my opponents, but because I was more skilled and knew how to counterattack at the right time and I know you can do it too, believe in you, because I sure do.
Kate: Yeah, do like Mario, after all he doesn't defeat Bowser because he's bigger or stronger than him.
Victor: Thanks for the motivation you two, allright, I'll fight.

Samantha: It's time for the semifinals, Kate, you're going to face another Cobra Kai student, do your best.
Meanwhile Bianca was talking to the Cobra Kai student who was going to face Kate.
Bianca: All right Laura, it's you against Kate, I have a plan for us to win this thing, but you have to help me.
Laura: Leave it to me, I can beat her.
Bianca: No, I want you to do this... (she whispers something in Laura's ear)
Laura: I won't do it, in case you haven't noticed you're not the only one who wants to win.
Bianca: Do it, for Cobra Kai, for sensei Nichols.
Laura: I... okay, I'll do it.

Kate: Are you okay?

Referee: Illegal contact, Laura Smith is disqualified, Katherine Grey moves on to the final.
After that, Kate goes to Samantha.
Samantha: Are you okay?
Kate: Yeah, my shoulder hurts, but I think I can fight.
Samantha (in her head): I wish Mr. Miyagi was here.
Victor: That was definitely the work of Cobra Kai.
Samantha: Tory, I can't believe it, even after 30 years you haven't changed a thing.
Meanwhile, Tory was talking to her student.
Tory: What was that?
Laura: I don't know, I think I just couldn't control my anger.
Tory: Let's talk about this after the tournament, Ms. Silva, now it's your fight, show her who's boss.

Samantha: Are you sure you can fight?
Kate: Yeah, no problem, but first there's Victor's fight.
Victor: If I win this one I'll probably face Jacob in the finals.
Kate: That guy must have been so humiliated by the beating he got that he went to train at Cobra Kai to get a rematch with me, but he forgot that this tournament is gender-divided.
Jacob fights an unknown All-Star Karate opponent and wins 3-1.
Referee: The first match of the semifinals is over, now we will see who will face Jacob Park in the final.

Referee: Point, Carter! winner! what's this, both finals will be Miyagi-Fang Vs. Cobra Kai, either of the two dojos can win the tournament, if Cobra Kai wins at least one it guarantees victory, then the next fight will be the male tournament final, between Victor Carter and Jacob Park.
Samantha: You two fought very well, regardless of the result of this tournament, you are already winners just for getting here in such a short time of training, okay, Victor, your opponent is Jacob, are you nervous?

Seeing her student like that, Samantha remembered when she and Tory fought in the tournament, the sadness she felt when she was defeated, she glared at Tory and said:
Samantha: Hope you're happy Tory, you won.
She left and went after Kate and Victor followed her.
Tory glared at her students Laura and Bianca and said:
Tory: Let's have a little talk about cheating.
Yes, Cobra Kai won the tournament, but as usual they didn't win honestly, how will the situation between Samantha and Kate be after this defeat? what will Tory do with her students who cheated? why did Kate's mom come to watch her daughter at the tournament? Find out in the NEXT CHAPTER.
By the way, a message for non-Brazilian readers, if I made the Brazilian character cheat it's because I can make fun of my country, you can't, understand?
