"Welcome competitors, Sensei's, sponsors and esteemed guests, To Barcelona !" Gunter exclaimed looking at all the many different dojos here in the building
"This year's home of the world's greatest Karate Tournament, the SEKAI TAIKAI !"
With his high praise for the Tournament everyone had Immediately clapped their hands and cheered. Giving Praise where it was due as everyone fighting here today deserved to be there
Once the Applause had ran its course Gunther went back to speaking leaving everyone to listen
"The Sekai Taikai holds a rich and proud history, and if you are here. It's because you embody all that the Sekai Taikai stands for"
Bringing their heads up to look at Kreese and Kim, Johnny and Daniel couldn't help but shake their heads with scowls not wanting to give a reaction but sure as well deserving too
But they weren't the only ones as literally two feet next to their fathers, Robby and Sam couldn't help but look at Hawk and Tory, listening to Gunther's speech. Still not fully used to seeing them back in Cobra Kai Gi's
"You embodied Leadership, respect, sportsmanship"
"Captains" Gunter said bringing his hands out
"Step forward and tie on your headbands"
The Miyagi-Fang team didn't hesitate to look at their leaders proudly, leaving Sam and Robby to smile not only at their team but one another before stepping forward along with the other Team Captains
Looking closely at Cobra Kai everyone took a deep breathe seeing Tory and Hawk step up as well, no surprise Kreese would choose them to be Captains
Watching Robby and Sam put their headbands on Daniel tried to keep up his smile but he could only think about the Sekai Taikai headband he found in Mr Miyagi's old box making him shake his head and take a deep breathe as all the Captains put on their headbands
Miguel had watched Robby stand confident and tall in his Captain position, only looking him up and down trying to shake away the jealous thoughts that brew within him
But Miguel wasn't the only one feeling some type of way towards their captain as Kwon had licked the inside of his mouth with a snorting smirk added with an eyeroll seeing Hawk wear the Team Captain headband
"Captains, you will have the honor and privilege in competing in our televised Tournament of Champions" Gunther stated making Hawk and Tory look at each other
"But that is only if your dojo does well enough in our team competitions to make it to the final four. Once the Tournament is over we will Tally up all the points your dojo has earned, the dojo with the most points wins the Sekai Taikai !"
Looking directly ahead at Eli and Tory Robby's face only scrunched in a glare as his fist balled up so tightly he was digging his nails into his palms much to Sam's notice as saw the killer look he had
"When did they even get in contact with Kreese ? isn't he supposed to be in jail ?" Sam whispered to him but Robby just kept a clenched jaw and a scowl as he replied
"I don't know…."
"But today is about enjoying our host city and making new friends" Gunther said before leaning down to the podium mic
"Or enemies"
It was almost Immediately after he said that did the four of them lock eyes only glaring at one another in nothing but mixed feelings and bagged emotions
"We have a field trip arranged for our competitors and for our Sensei's a cocktail mixer for our distinguished sponsors, some of the worlds finest martial arts brands, It's a Beautiful ! day to make a first impression and I suggest you all enjoy it because tomorrow your lives change forever. Good Look and WELCOME TO THE SEKAI TAIKAI !"
With that everyone clapped their hands cheering at Gunther's speech but Robby couldn't take his eyes off Hawk only continuing to glare at him dead center as he continued to clap his hands

Exploring the city of Barcelona, Miguel continued to help put all their bags on a Luggage Cart as Daniel patted Robby's back finishing their little mission
"All right listen up you guys go get your room keys get everyone settled in alright ?"
"Yeah we'll take care of the driver you guys go ahead" Johnny added watching Miguel and Robby pull away the luggage cart as he had his hands in his jacket pocket
Waiting for the two boys to get out of hearing distance Johnny Immediately turned around to face Daniel pulling his hands out his pockets in pure adrenaline
"What a shit show this is man !" Johnny had Immediately exclaimed making Daniel sigh Immediately as he too dropped the act proceeding everything was normal
"Tory and Hawk are with Kreese ! OF ALL PEOPLE ! WHAT THE FUCK !"
"Johnny Relax all right" Daniel said putting his hands up always being the calm one
"We gotta see it from their perspective, Tory's Mother just died, she felt outcasted, Hawk only followed her thinking he was doing the right thing in being there for her. It's Kreese again, like always feeding into their heads corrupting their minds"
"Yeah well we don't gotta worry about that because mark my words Kreese is a deadman"
"Johnny that's not gonna solve our problems" Daniel sighed
"As much as I want to go find him and….run him over with a truck" Daniel mumbled making Johnny chuckle
"You start pulling your Typical Johnny Lawrence act we are going to get kicked out of here you hear me ?" Daniel said speaking nothing but the truth leaving Johnny to roll his eyes but he only continued
"Cobra Kai is one dojo out of 16 it's not us against them anymore, if Kreese gets in our head then we've already lost"
"We're not losing" Johnny stated
"Just taking him out of commission-"
"No your not no your not" Daniel disagreed with a headshake
"You are here, as Miyagi-Fangs Second head Sensei"
"First" Johnny corrected
"Don't push it" Daniel finished before sighing as he ran a hand over his mouth in a quiet sigh
"I just pray that Eli and Tory being on Cobra Kai doesn't distract us too much"
"Yeah well it's not us I'm worried about" Johnny said and Daniel had only looked up at Johnny in silent agreement already knowing what he was talking about or more specifically who he was talking about

Grabbing the room cards Robby just shuffled them within his hands before looking up at his team
"Alright, who's bunking with who ?" he said examining everyone
"Oh ! I call Robby" Demetri was quick to say grabbing one of the Key cards from within his hand but Robby had only let out a small "Uhhh" as his eyes dragged to Sam
"Me and Sam were actually gonna-"
"Oh no no no no no no no" Demetri disagreed
"I think I speak for everyone when I say we need our Team Captains focused while we're here, not too busy playing Hanky Panky or letting out certain….."aggression"."
"Yeah you two also have a tendency in being loud and that's not really something I wanna hear at night" Miguel added
Demetri and Miguel's point caused Kenny and Devon to laugh while Sam had awkwardly blushed leaving Robby to cave with a sigh putting his hands up in defeat with a small head shake and a chuckle
"Alright alright, you win. Demetri bunks with me, Sam's with Devon, Miguel's with Kenny everyone cool ?"
Looking at their assigned Roommates with valid headnods Robby passed out the rest of the Room cards
But after the room mishap being squared away Kenny could tell by everyone's faces that they wanted to speak on the Mohawk wearing elephant in the room
"So we're just gone pretend like we didn't just see Hawk and Tory wearing Cobra Kai Gi's orrrr ?" he began making everyone sigh and slump their shoulders
Retreating his hands to his pockets Robby just shook his head
"I'm honestly trying not to think about it" he said and Sam felt the same way
With her arms crossed she held a uncomfortable feeling within her just thinking about it
"How could Tory and Hawk go back to Cobra Kai ? I thought things have changed"
"Oh they've changed alright" Demetri stated
"Eli's to Tory whipped to think for himself, and if the Red hair coming back wasn't enough….oh I feel like we haven't seen anything yet"
The anger within Demetri's voice wasn't hidden as it was very loud and clear he still felt some sort of way towards him among their MIT situation and the return of the King Cobra didn't make it any better
"Let's just hope they still remember we're their friends, deep down the real Eli and Tory have got to be in there somewhere ? right ?" Devon said trying to keep the hope alive but Miguel had only feared for the worst as he only shook his head
"You weren't here the last time Hawk and Tory lead a dojo by themselves" Miguel sighed soon looking at Sam who held the same concerned face as flashbacks of Hawk and Tory's King and Queen Cobra Era hit them like a truck making them shutter as a cold chill ran up their spine
"If Kreese's control on them is anything like last time we can't-"
"Wowwwwww" a voice suddenly said making everyone turn their heads to find Kwon, Yoon and the rest of Cobra Kai approach them with one guy and another girl
"So your the famous Miyagi-Fang, we've heard a lot about you" he said in a fake fan like voice before Immediately changing his tone and raising an eyebrow
"But I do not know why, you do not look like much"
Scrunching his eyebrow in a form of challenge Miguel stepped up to Kwon
"Oh yeah ? say that again when were on the mat" Miguel challenged leaving Kwon surprised as he just chuckled
"Oh ? Confident are we ? tough guy wants to fight. yeoljeong-gwa jasingam-i neomchyeoseo, geuui yeonghongwa ppyeoleul busugo sip-eul jeongdoibnida" (He's so full of passion and confidence that you want to break his soul and break his bones.) Kwon said making the other Cobra Kai's laugh as Miguel had only scrunched his face more now clenching his fist
"Watch your mouth pendejo" Miguel growled shocking his own team
They never heard Miguel speak Spanish so aggressively before ?
But the message was clear to Kwon as the jokes seemed to stop there
"a menos que quieras terminar boca abajo en una colchoneta, so it's your move" (unless you wanna end up face down on a mat)
Kwon was now the ones forming a balled fist and a growl as Miguel and Kwon continued to stare each other down aggressively leaving both sides on edge in what might happen
"HEY !" a voice said not making everyone turn
Walking up to his team Hawk gained everyone's attention as all eyes were on him. Both Miyagi-Fang and Cobra Kai alike everyone looked at Hawk walking through the path Cobra Kai made as him and Tory approached Kwon holding their bags of their own
All of Miyagi-Fang's faces scrunched and their anger visible at the sight of the two. Too many mixed emotions and not enough time or words to be said on what they were feeling right now
"Now's not the time to fight, save that for tomorrow" Hawk simply told Kwon
Letting out a snort with an eye roll Everyone was shocked to see Kwon step down and soon enough so did Miguel backing away into his team again watching the sight unfold
"Whatever, "Captain's Orders"." Kwon said annoyingly but it was enough to satisfy Hawk and Tory as they glanced at the 6 cold dead glares they got before walking away saying nothing as they passed right through them heading to the Elevators
The others had looked away but Robby's eyes still lingered on Hawk and Tory passing making him purse his lips again before soon enough he followed making Sam's eyes go wide
"Wait Robby" she said before chasing after him
Hawk and Tory continued to head inside the elevator even when the sound of footsteps was heard behind them not thinking anything of it
"Hey !" Robby yelled not stopping their movements
"Hey !" he tried again as he himself came to stop watching Tory get in the elevator while Sam had caught up
"So you got so butt hurt about losing the Captain competition that you decided to join Kreese just to spite me !" Robby yelled finally making Hawk pause as he was about to step into the elevator
Seeing the anger that rose on Hawk's face Tory just tiredly sighed
"Eli don't" she mumbled but it didn't matter as Hawk had dropped his bag at the elevator line stopping it from closing before he hastily turned around so that he could march towards Robby
Immediately coming face to face with his Captain competition the two glared at one another now face up
"I don't give a shit about what your feeling" Eli growled making Robby tighten his jaw within his closed mouth
"I only came here for one reason and one reason only, and that's to win and if YOU'RE in my way to do that, I will put you down. Just like last time"
The mention of the last time they fought with stakes at its highest had only made Robby more angry as his fist began to scrunch and ball up
"I'll give you today" Eli warned
"But starting tomorrow we're sworn enemies, You" Eli said before looking at Sam who walked up to them with her own glare
"And your team"
With That Hawk soon turned around picking up his bag before stepping next to Tory leaving Sam and Robby to watch them as the Elevator door closed
With his own satisfied chuckle Kwon shook his head walking through the Miyagi-Fang team
He had faked pounced at Demetri making him flinch and Kwon just laughed one more time before he and the other Cobra's passed by Sam and Robby leaving the Miyagi-Fang team to just look at their Captain's glares starting at the Elevator
"Should we be worried about them ?" Demetri asked but Kenny just shook his head
"Nah, if anything this just convinced me"
"Convinced you of what ?" Devon asked Kenny simply making him smirk
"Convinced me that we picked the right Team Captains"

"Sounds like things are a little tense there" Amanda chuckled hearing Daniel's recap of everything that happened
"Do I need to come out and get everything back on track ? maybe visit a beach or two ?"
"You'd probably handle it better than us" Daniel admitted
"I haven't even gotten hold of Chozen yet, hopefully, he meets us at this cocktail mixer and-"
"Daniel !" Amanda heard Barnes yell on the other end of the phone
Quickly turning his head with a raised eyebrow Daniel was heavy confused but it didn't stop Barnes from dialing the buttons on the TV remote more with anger and heavy grunts
"The TV isn't Working !"
Daniel sighed and shook his head trying not to get embarrassed at Amanda's laugh
"What all four of you are bunched into that tiny room ?" Amanda said amusement running through her body while Daniel simply rolled his eyes
"Turns out I got my college dorm experience after all" He said making Amanda laugh
"But the Cocktail mixer is my chance to make a good first impression for Miyagi-Fang on the world stage"
"Just turn on that salesman charm" Amanda said making Daniel smile
"You'll knock 'em dead"
The sound of the bathroom shower ending was heard and Johnny had soon came out wearing a bathrobe
"Got more water pressure out of a damn garden hose" Johnny groaned getting Daniel and Barnes's attention
"Shower's just sneezing on me. I'm calling the front desk"
Grabbing the Room's phone Johnny had soon opened the Mini fridge and grabbed a beer much to Daniel's disapproval
"Hey hey hey ! don't touch that. They're on sensors. If you move them, we're gonna get charged"
Looking down at the Mini Bar's paper Johnny raised an eyebrow
"Eight dollars for a beer ?"
"Eight euros. It's nine dollars" Daniel corrected making Johnny more surprised
"NINE DOLLARS !?...Hello ?...uh..Necesito Nuevo Cabeza de, uh….Shower how the hell do you say sh-...did you just call me a douche ?"
Hearing about everything that was going on Amanda couldn't help but simply smile not being able to get enough
"This is my new favorite show" she grinned

Unpacking their bags within their room there was a small awkward silence Tory wanted to be kept
But she knew Hawk wouldn't let it be kept
As she continued to unpack placing different clothes out on her bed Tory soon felt two arms wrap around her waist before a kiss was placed on the side of her neck
Letting out a small yet deep humm from within her hair Hawk had only gripped her harder pressing himself against her
"So, how you feeling"
Tory didn't give his affection any reaction, she just continued to unpack with a glum face
"We've been here for one day and I'm already tired" she responded making him chuckle as he kissed her neck again
"I was thinking…..why don't we just skip the Field trip ?" Hawk suggested as Tory finally came to a stop in her unpacking
Continuing to propose his idea, every reasoning he gave he just added a kiss to the neck behind it
"Stay here…..watch a movie…..order room service-"
"Eli stop" Tory said grabbing his hands off of her completely cutting off his affection
Hawk had only grown a confused face but he didn't have much time to think about it as the sound of their door being pounded on caught their attention
Immediately walking up to it Tory had looked through the peephole and groaned before opening the door to reveal Kreese and Sensei Kim
"Get moving. The buses are leaving" she had Immediately said straight and direct to the point
Tory was just quick to groan though walking back to her bed to grab at her clothes
"I'm not here for a field trip"
Closing the door behind them Kim stepped after Tory with haste
"Your team is waiting"
"Yeah, well I'm not here for them either"
Immediately grabbing her bag Sensei Kim took it away from Tory forcing her eyes to her
"Let me be clear" Sensei Kim said directly
"I did not want you on this time. EITHER OF YOU"
"And I sure as hell didn't want YOU to our male team captain" Kim said looking at Hawk who just glare back
"Kwon has more talent and skill in his left toenail than you do within your entire body"
"Yeah well guess what" Hawk said stepping up to Kim
"I'm here now, and just like I told him I'm gonna tell you, I'm Team Captain. Me. Weren't you the one who said we were wasted potential"
"I saw Her Potential, But I knew she was also a rat. Whining and distracted by split loyalties, by You" Kim said looking at Hawk's glare
"And by you breaking my hand" Tory growled
"You broke your own hand" Kim snapped back
"I knew you were not a leader, neither of you are you, Neither of you have what it takes"
"Look lady, I get your still pissed that we kicked your ass" Hawk began interjecting himself within their conversation making Kim look at him
"But we only came here so that WE could be the last ones standing. We didn't come here to settle any debts or do any favors. We just came. Here. to. Win"
Looking Hawk up and down, seeing the ferocity in his eyes. The Killer instinct she was told so much about. She just smirked her mouth and kept her arms folded looking him up and down
"And you'll BOTH be the last ones losing" Kim growled before walking away closing the door shut behind her
Tory had just kept her sam gloomy face that's been plastered since they got here and it only pissed Hawk more off
He knew what she was going through, what she was feeling and all he wanted to do was help her, make her feel better in anyway
Tory didn't even turn to Kreese as she responded
"I have nothing to say to you" she stated making Kreese lick his lips
"I know your struggling" he began walking around so that he could face them both properly
"But you both made the right decision. Sensei Kim will come around. She'll see what I know, That you two are leaders, The perfect ones together"
They didn't look it now. With Hawk's growl and folded arms and Tory's painful look on her face. But Kreese knew, he was confident that the King and Queen Cobra would show
Looking at Tory's pained eyes Kreese continued to speak
"You will make your mother proud"
Tory just nodded her head
"I hope so"
"I know so…..Sometimes we have to play….nice to get what we want"
With that Kreese made his leave tapping Hawk's shoulder on his way out leaving Tory to just think about his words

"There better be food at this thing" Johnny said
"You just concentrate on holding it together with Kreese alright, Barnes please keep an eye on him"
Barnes nodded his head
"Will do Daniel, although it might be a little challenging to restrain myself from Kreese as well, That asshole has some history with me too and Johnny isn't the only one who wants some payback"
Daniel had just rolled his eyes at Johnny and Barnes's aggression towards Kreese already worried what might go down today with all this anger
"Relax LaRusso we're not the ones who punched out Silver at a charity event"
"Ok I shoved him and he flopped. Plus how do you even know that ?" Daniel asked making Johnny just smirk before he soon shook his head
"Whatever, if you talk to any of the sponsors, just make sure-"
"Yeah yeah yeah we get it Miyagi-Fang pride, don't be dumb american. I got it, It's half of my dojo as well you know" Johnny said giving Daniel some reassurance
"Alright…"
"I'll be fine as soon as i get some spanish chimchanges in me"

"The truth is, Miyagi-Dp was never a competitive dojo until recently, I was my sensei's first student. And it's been my life's honor to spread his teachings to the next generation" Daniel had told the sponsors
With a plate in his hand Johnny continued to look at the serving buffet, licking his hands at all the available food options as he continued to fill his plate
Seeing the last two available stakes Johnny had reached out for one only to have some man grab them both making Johnny raise a brow
"Hey, man. One per customer"
"Excuse me ?" the man immediately said looking at Johnny
"You took the last two steaks"
"Oh, one is for a friend" he said something Johnny didn't believe because his smile soon dropped into a serious expression
"But even if it weren't, I'm entitled to enjoy as many pieces as I like"
"Yeah ? well maybe I'm entitled to stop you" Johnny said stepping up to him
"Hey hey hey woah sorry" Barnes said quickly coming out of nowhere to stop Johnny's little altercation
"Just give me one minute huh big guy"
The man had scoffed before soon walking away leaving Barnes to look up at Johnny with raised hands in confusion
"I thought Daniel told you to keep it cool, that guy could've been a sponsor"
"Come on man, that asshole was double dipping in the steaks, he's a steak stealer"
"Than just let him take the Stake, Lawrence jesus" Barnes groaned
The two men had only continued their conversation unknown and oblivious to Kreese and Kim who walked in and Immediately smirked seeing Johnny, Barnes and Daniel

All the Captains stood together putting on a smile as their picture had been taken
"Now, everybody smile and say, Barcelona ! one, two, three"
"Barcelona…." the Captains said in a low pitched tone
"Louder ! come on come on Barcelona !"
With his arms crossed with an eye roll Hawk had put on a fake smile saying "Barcelona !" more excitedly with the other Captains even if they didn't mean it
Sometimes we have to play nice to get what we want
"I swear if I have to take one more picture and say Barcelona I'm gonna hurt someone" Hawk whispered into Tory's ear making her chuckle
"Probably the first thing you've said that I agree with since we got here"
Letting out his own chuckle Hawk wrapped an arm around her pulling her in close before placing a kiss on the side of her head
Smiling within their own picture Robby and Sam had looked down the row glancing at Hawk and Tory current position and it only left them to just look at each other trying to shake off the weird feeling they had as they soon decided to hold hands
"So I guess we're just supposed to put up with this for the next few days huh" Devon said as her Demetri, Miguel and Kenny watched the Captains continue to be grouped up
"Yeah well by the looks of it Sam and Robby are gonna have to get in line" Demetri stated as commotin started to brew among the Captains, small arguments being spoke and some shoves being given
"Not everyone's exactly friendly here"
"Maybe it's like prison" Demetri pointed out
"Just punch the toughest guy square in the jaw on day one"
Kenny just hummed his breathe with a scoff
"Yeah good luck with that, There's a lot of tough guys"
"Well I already have my pick….." Demetri growled as he looked directly at Eli
Continuing to have their picture taken one of the female captains looked down the line and smirked seeing the competition
"Some of these boys are cute huh" she said nudging to Tory who just raised a brow at her
Looking at Tory herself seeing her holding hands with Hawk she just smirked
"But it looks like you already got dibs"
Tory didn't know what that meant or what she'd make of her, but it just made her grip Hawk's hand tighter
"You there in the back, smile. Show some emotion. Smile"
Sam had turned her head to see who the photographer was talking too and she had soon saw a tall and giant boy hiding in the back as he flashed a timid smile posing for the camera
His eyes had soon gradually turned to Sam, seeing her looking at him causing his eyes to Immediately go wide. Sam had just smiled though giving him a small wave that caused him to blush and stammer as he turned his head to avoid her confusing Sam
"Alright, Captains. let's take one more-" Letting out a groan Tory stopped holding hands with Hawk and walked away
"Ok, never mind. We're done"
Walking past her team, Kwon had his arms crossed and scoffed watch Tory walk away
"tto sijag-igun, kaebtin nae eongdeong-i" (There she goes again, Captain my ass)
Looking back at Hawk who confined his hands within his jacket pocket Kwon's anger had only felt more justified as he shook his head
"Sensei comes to us about the Sekai Taikai, asks us for help…..but he makes two Americans the Captains ?" Kwon said to his fellow teammates who just shrugged their shoulders
"Hawk and Tory very nice, ferocious fighters" Yoon said with a smile making Kwon roll his eyes
They weren't the only ones who noticed Tory's leave as Robby and Sam did as well watching her walk away and turn a corner entering a hallway
The couple had just looked at each other deciding not to comment because there was enough bad blood as is
But they didn't know just how serious the situation was

"My company is always looking for new partnerships. We handle international licensing for dojo-specific gear, While also providing official Sekai Taikai apparel" the woman stated leaving Daniel to nod his head
"That reminds me of something. Do you have…..any idea how old this is ?" Daniel asked bringing forth the headband he found in Mr Miyagi's box
The item made all the sponsors and gunther just look in confusion as the woman stepped forth to grab at the fabric in awe
"Based on the design it appears to be 1950's area maybe even 1940's" she said making Daniel just go "wow"
"Where did you acquire this, Sensei LaRusso ?" Gunther asked
"These captain bands don't exactly pop up on eBay"
Daniel chuckled along side him
"This belonged to my Sensei….just trying to put the pieces together"
"Must be quite a story"
"Yeah….yeah I'm sure it is"
Somewhere else among the cocktail mixer Johnny was playing with a pair of nunchucks
He saw a table full of weapons, and saw an interest in it. And now here he was twirling around the weapon scaring the man in front of him as he flinched at Johnny's movements
"What are these things made of ?" Johnny asked
"Yes, uh…those are acrylic" he answered and Johnny just twirled them around again soon slapping himself in the arm to test the power
"They don't hurt that bad. You might wanna go back to the lab on these" Johnny said as he placed the nunchucks down on the table
"Well all the Sekai Taikai champions use and stand by these products"
Looking at the display's they had on the wall Johnny's face scrunched
"These are your models ? I got way better-looking kids at my dojo, Here let me show you some photos"
'That's not really the criteria" the man said stopping Johnny
"The sponsorship opportunities are for champions"
"Oh yeah ? What is that ? fifty bucks a day, opportunity to do some skin flicks ? because trust me buddy I went down that modeling road. It leads to nowhere good"
"What ? no. I mean the best-performing dojos and champions are well taken care of"
Finally getting a grasp on what the guy was saying Johnny nodded his head
"Like paying for college ?"
"Yeah" the man grinned
"And then some"
Johnny had again nodded his head finally understanding what this guy was saying and it only sounded like a sweater and sweater deal as he soon stuck his hand out in a piece offering
"I'm Sensei Lawrence, by the way. Miyagi-Fang Karate, very deep-rooted dojo. Diversified, inclusified, all those things. My kids would make a great addition to your brand-"
"Fine craftsmanship here" a voice said making them both turn their heads to see Kreese examining a Kunai on display
"Oh ! be careful that point is very sharp" the man warned
"Oh, don't worry. I know how to handle a blade I keep my own"
Immediately pulling out his Eunjangdo Kreese had smirked
"Very close"
"Very impressive Eunjangdo sir"
"Yes. There's a lot of sentimental value here as well as historical value, but it's still deadly in the wrong hands. Or the right hands" he said finishing with a chuckle
Rolling his eyes Johnny picked the nunchucks up again stretching them out as he gripped them tightly
"One good swing of these could get the job done just as quick wouldn't you say"
"Well uh-"
"Well, I think most people would rather be holding the knife, what do you think ?" Kreese interjecting asking the man
"Uhh-"
"It's not about the weapon. It's about who's using it, right ?"
Looking at Kreese and Johnny back and forth the man was at a lost for words quite honestly fearing for his life right now only wondering how he got in this situation

Back at the Aquarium everyone was slowly starting to get more accustomed to being there in Barcelona
Splitting up to do more things and venture out
Hawk himself isolated himself from everyone as he went to the gift shop and started to look around
Looking at all the different merchandise and toys being sold, Hawk couldn't help but smile thinking Brandon might like one of these
Reaching out to grab one his hand accidentally ended up touching someone else's which caused him to retreat
"Oh ! I'm sorry" He quickly apologized before turning his head to find Robby with the same jumpy face
Immediately both their faces dropped and Hawk let out a silent groan before retreating his hands back in his Cobra Kai jacket pockets
Robby had done the same placing his hands in his pants pockets while the two just looked straight ahead at all the toys and gifts
There was a strong silence between the two, a heavy yet loud one where neither of them choose to speak or address anything
"So things are gonna be like this the entire tournament huh ?" Robby said Immediately making Eli groan
"Look…..if you wanna know my decision wasn't anything personal alright. I didn't come here with Tory to spite you or get back at any of you…I just wanted to help her. She was alone and probably really afraid and she needed someone to be there for her"
Robby simply nodded his head hearing him out
Among the other side of the aquarium Tory had been sitting alone by herself, looking at the sea creatures moving all around her as it was quite the calming state and place
It continued to stay that way as someone had walked up to her timidly
"Is this seat taken ?" a voice asked making Tory turn her head to find Sam giving her a small smile
Looking Sam up and down Tory just shook her head leaving Sam's smile to stay on as she had quickly taken her place joining Tory in watching the glass in front of them. Watching all the sea creatures move around
The silence between them had been awkward, but the atmosphere of the water all around them made up for it
"I'm not gonna say I'm sorry" Tory said as they continued to look at the glass
"But I didn't want things to be like this"
Nodding her head Sam took a deep breathe
"I don't know what it's like to lose a parent….I know you made your decision under pressure….I…..Honestly the only reason why I'm so hurt is because….."
Sam chuckled and shook her head
"I thought we were finally friends" Sam said turning her head to look at Tory
The blonde's face had only continued to drop as Sam continued
"I wish you would've came to me, or My Dad, Johnny, Sensei Barnes anyone….we could've helped you"
"I'm not here to judge you on your made decisions" Robby sternly said
"But Kreese ? you guys know how he is, what he's gonna do to you ? what he's gonna make you do ?"
"Yeah, well I specifically remember a time when he helped you out" Hawk coldly responded making Robby scoff and smirk
"But whatever, things are back to how they used to be. Me and Tory are leading Cobra Kai, You and Sam are leading Miyagi-Fang-"
"Yeah but they didn't have to be like that Eli" Robby snapped turing to look at his friend who just turned at him with a glare for calling him that
"Let's be honest" Tory mumbled
"There was never enough room for all of us" she said making Sam raise a brow
"You and Robby were always gonna be Captains not even Miguel had a shot. I had to make this decision on my own"
"You still could've been there with us" Robby said
"Up there together as a team-"
"With YOU taking all the credit right" Hawk growled
"Sure we would've been all together but at the end of the day you and Sam were gonna be the pens taking all the credit"
"That's not true" Sam said shaking her head
"You had us, you had friends in your corner, Tory you were never alone-"
"Sam" Tory straight up said shutting her mouth
"My decisions already been made"
Letting out a big sigh, one where she visibly needed to drop her shoulders. Sam laced her hands together knowing Tory was right
"You wanna own this choice….I can respect that even if I disagree with it" Sam said leaving Tory to hold her blank face
"But just know that when we meet on the mat….whenever that is…..Neither me or Robby are gonna hesitate"
Licking her lips Tory herself sighed
"Maybe it won't come to that….." Tory said but Sam had only shook her head
"It will"
With that Sam had gotten up and started to walk away leaving Tory to watch in mixed emotions not knowing how to feel
"No matter how you feel the sides have been chosen. Me and Tory choose Cobra Kai" Hawk said figuring he was done with this conversation
With a scoff and a head shake Hawk turned around
"See you tomorrow" he said before walking away leaving Robby to watch with a stern face

Walking into a section of the Aquarium the team noticed everyone had gone too Miguel, Demetri, Devon and Kenny continued to hear the chants being yelled
"Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad"
"What the hell is this ?" Miguel mumbled as they saw the Team Captain for the Russian team do a spin kick across one of the Aquariums boards
Vlad's kick ended up drawing some chalk under a line and the crowd had groaned while Vlad yelled something in Russian
Clapping his hands slowly Kwon had laughed as he walked up to point at the line adobe Vlad's
"Not even close, no one beats mine"
Looking at the sea of people Kwon's smirk had only grown once he saw the Miyagi-Fang's
"Team USA" he said making them groan as they already knew this was gonna be trouble
"Everyone knows America's best at everything, right ?" Kwon said with his arms out making everyone laugh much to the teams dislike
Looking directly at Miguel's glare Kwon continued to enjoy this
"Well come on Let's see ! USA ! USA ! USA ! USA !"
Kwon's chant built it up so that now everyone was doing it, making Team Miyagi-Fang look around at everyone chanting "USA !" over and over again
"Come ! What are you scared ? COME ON !"
"USA ! USA ! USA ! USA ! USA !"
"Where's Sam and Robby ? What should we do ?" Devon asked
Balling his fist up tightly Miguel continued to look at Kwon with a growl

Continuing to talk with the other sponsors and board members along with Gunter they all started to find themselves interested in the Mystery behind Mr Miyagi's headband
"So this really is a mystery, then. He never talked to you about it ?" Gunther asked
"No never" Daniel shook
Touching at the headband a woman noticed the blood coated on it
"Is this blood ?"
Daniel didn't get time to talk as Gunter spoke for him
"The Tournaments were even more brutal back then….There's one man who might know about this. Master Serrano"
Daniel's face scrunched
"Who…..who's that ?"
"Serrano" Sensei Kim said gaining all eyes
"Legendary Champion. Everybody knows this" she said making Daniel drop his face
"I haven't heard that name in a long time. Is he even still alive ?" The woman asked
"He stopped coming to tournaments a few years back, but he's still with us. He was even living here in Barcelona at one point" Gunther confirmed making Daniel's eyes light up
"I can try and get in touch, maybe get a number or address ?"
"That would be…..incredible" Daniel said Immediately smiling
"I would love to speak with him and just, you know…."
Daniel's eyes trailed seeing Johnny and Kreese confront each other at a table full of weapons and Immediately his mind had bad thoughts
"Try and get some answers…"
"What the hell are you doing at this tournament ?" Johnny asked Kreese
"Well, I owe some people here a little payback. Even more so I owed Hawk and Tory the chance to do something you failed to do" Kreese responded making Johnny furrow his eyebrows
"Make them world champions"
Johnny's fist had Immediately balled at the mention of their name much to Kreese's notice
"You never truly saw what I saw in them. Saw the potential they flashed. Instead of developing them You choose Keene, Diaz and LaRusso"
"Yeah well don't worry" Johnny challenged
"Once we kick your ass for a final time Tory and Hawk will come home. They'll see what they did before. That your scum, scum scrapped on the bottom of a barrel and that you need to be put down"
Hearing Johnny's words only made Kreese chuckle as he continued to hold is Eunjangdo
"You know Johnny I've always taken it easy on you, Because I always had a soft spot for you but Things change. Now I'm going to show you what the true definition of "No Mercy" is"
"Oh yeah ?"
"Yeah"
"What if I tell everyone about your little prison escape ?" Johnny threatened
"All the charges were dropped. I mean who would go against a veteran with PTSD, innocent of the crime for which he was convicted, And then he had to escape to save his life" Kreese grinned making Johnny's jaw tighten at Kreese's excuses and more lies
"Self-Defense takes many forms, Johnny. But you already know that, because after all, You're half Miyagi-Do" Kreese said pointing his knife at Johnny
"Hey" Daniel said joining in as he grabbed at Johnny's arm
"Whatever is going on here, it stops now" he said Immediately breaking up the tension between the two men
"Well, I was just telling your partner here that I would love to speak to his supervisor" Kreese said making Daniel sigh as he was already fed up with this bullshit
"Ok Listen. We don't need to do this anymore, all right ? we all have too much at stake here"
"On the contrary" Kreese said making Daniel and Johnny look at him
"Some of us have nothing to lose. But not you LaRusso, You've got a lot to lose"
Walking up to Daniel's starting to form growl Kreese continued
"You've got a lot that could be taken away from you"
"You wanna level threats you son of a bitch ?"
"Come on"
"Hey back off !" Johnny said shoving Kreese away from Daniel
"Ge hands off of me" a voice said gaining not only the three Sensei's attention but soon everyone in the rooms as all eyes lead to the front door that held a security guard handling something
"I need your badge"
"No ! Yuza ! Hai !"
Turning their heads to see Chozen pushing a security guard away before doing a plethora of moves fully forcing him to back up
Immediately both Daniel and Johnny groaned and sighed while Kreese up his hands up and chuckled at the clown show
"I am with Miyagi-Fang" Chozen said making Kreese just look at Johnny in humor
"Learn Name. Miyagi-Fang Karate ! wakataka !"
"MIYAGI-FANG !"
Immediately approaching the man Barnes tried to set Chozen straight
"Hey, hey, hey buddy you alright ?"
"Oh, ho, ho ! Sensei Barnes, big man"
Barnes simply chuckled trying to calm him down
"Hey bud hey let's just sit you alright" Barnes tried but Chozen had soon pushed him away before heading to the bar smacking his hand on the table talking to the bartender
"Yes sir ?"
"Long Island iced tea, eh ? two ! One for this fist, one for this fist DOUBLE FIST ! HAHAHA !"
Looking at the situation itself Johnny and Miguel sighed shaking their heads at Chozen finally finding out where the hell he's been

Miguel continued to Place the Chalk on the bottom of his shoe while Demetri just shook his head
"This isn't a good idea"
"Yea well, Toughest guy in prison, you're the one who said that right"
"Ok well It's VERY vocal that I wasn't the one who went to Prison on our team" Demetri said making Miguel's eyes roll
"Nah Miguel's right we take on bad boy over there we gain everyone's respect here, Shawn taught me that" Kenny said nodding his head in eager as he fist bumped Miguel but Devon just scoffed
"You know what this is so dumb" she said showing her disagreement to this plan
"Yo !" a voice said making the four of them turn their heads to see Yoon walking up to Miguel
"Are you really the best your dojo has to offer ?"
With a glare on his face Miguel accepted the challenge
"Why don't we find out-"
"Please, you are not even Captain" Kwon said making Miguel scoff
"Neither are you"
Seeing the displeasure upon Kwon's face only field Miguel's smirk more but Kwon just shook his head keeping his arms crossed
"Where are your Captains ?" Yoon asked
"Right here" Robby said as soon enough all eyes panned to Robby and Sam who walked in the room Immediately looking at their team
"Come on guys were leaving" Robby ordered and with a final glare at Yoon Miguel, Demetri, Kenny and Devon started to walk
"You always walk from Challenge ?" Kwon said as the team continued to walk
"Or are you too scared to get shown up by someone who "Isn't a Captain" Kwon said making everyone go "Oooh"
Coming to a pause before turning around Sam had Immediately sighed
"Robby stop it's not worth is" she said to him
But Miguel was quick to speak his right of mind as well
"You got this man, show him who you are"
Miguel handed Robby the Chalk and Robby had honestly looked at Sam, Devon and Demetri's disagreeing face and head shakes before turning to see Miguel and Kenny's head nods
And Immediately Sam, Devon and Demetri sighed once Robby grabbed the chalk and started to walk up
"What, I gotta kick above that line ?" he asked making Kwon chuckle and smirk
"What, too Easy for you ? ok, let's make bet, then"
"I Kick" he said pointing at himself
"Than You kick" he said placing a pointer finger on Robby's chest
"I win, I get your room. You win, You get my room" Kwon challenged making Robby clench his jaw as Kwon smirked
Kwon held up the keycard to his room, continuing to show his seriousness and Robby just turned back to face his team before making up his mind
Looking back at Kwon Robby nodded his head
"Let's do it" he confirmed making Kwon smile
"Robby !" Sam yelled but Robby put his hand out to shake Kwon's confirming it
"Dude ! you're gambling our rooms away ? isn't that like a team decision ?" Demetri said and Sam nodded her head much in agreement
"Yeah, that was completely idiotic ! our teams already packed in as is with Both our Dads Sensei Barnes and Chozen here"
"I'm not gambling" Robby said confidently
"I'm getting us an extra room"
With that he started putting the chalk on his shoe leaving Demetri more worried
"That's gambling ? He's literally gambling ?"
"Ok well the deal's done, so how about we stop talking about what if's and start helping MR MIT" Kenny said making Demetri groan
"Gah ! alright fine, Look Kwon's Taller than you, has more reach so you're gonna need a hell of a running start. The Russian guy that went before you, Vlad. He jumped too early. It's simple physics, stay light on your toes and when you jump don't Immediately try to kick or you'll just put more weight on yourself"
Nodding his head Robby took in all the information Demetri told him before nodding his head
"Alright got it"
Looking at Sam who just had her arms crossed Robby already knew how she was feeling about this
"On a scale of 1 to 10 how mad are you" he asked with a chuckle but she didn't find it humorous
"This isn't funny Robby, You better win" she said and Robby again just nodded his head before soon turning around to see Kwon taking off his jacket
Looking back at the Miyagi-Fang team Kwon smirked before looking at the board, the place he last marked
"HA !" he yelled before brining his hands out and with a grunt he soon jumped up spinning in the air as he kicked a mark higher than before on the board making the crowd gasp in pure shock
Immediately dropping their jaws the Miyagi-Fang team were the most surprised as Demetri mumbled "No way"
Holding a serious glare on his face Robby watched as Kwon walked up to them, a cocky expression on his face
"Your move "Captain" Kwon smirked as the other Cobra's laughed behind him, only killing the team's confidence more. Even Robby's face showed some doubt as his eyes trailed to build up a plan
But it didn't take long as his mind soon figured something out that'd guarantee his win
Shoving Kwon out the way Robby Immediately ran
Except he didn't jump, Instead doing a small hop so that he could perform a cartwheel confusing everyone
Using the bounce from the cartwheel, Robby had soon jumped into a backflip launching him in the air high enough so that he was naturally over the marks but when he shot his foot out kicking the board everyone gasped again
Landing on his feet everyone looked up to see Robby's mark as it was placed directly on top of the board and soon enough everyone clapped and cheered for him
Letting out a loud "YES !" Miguel and Kenny high fived while Demetri, still in complete shock mumbled an "Unbelievable…"
Letting out cheers of their own Sam and Devon high fived as everyone was happy but Kwon
Looking at the mark placed up top he soon scrunched his face marching up to Robby who joined his team again with smiles
"You cheated !" he said getting Robby's attention
"You didn't kick !"
"Ah on the contrary, Rules were he marks the board with his foot Doesn't matter how it got there" Demetri corrected but when Kwon snapped his eyes to him Demetri just flinched again
Looking back at Robby, Kwon held a face of anger but Robby didn't back down glaring back as the tension was starting to brew
"HEY !" a voice said getting their attention as they all turned their heads seeing Hawk and Tory standing at the entrance
"We're leaving, NOW" he said before they walked away
Huffing his breathe at Robby, Kwon's lips pursed in anger before he dug into his pocket and grabbed his keycard handing it to him while Yoon had done the same
Giving Kwon his jacket back the team watched as Cobra Kai left the place before one of the watching Captains spoke out
"USA, USA, USA"
The chant started to grow as soon enough everyone around started chanting
"USA ! USA ! USA ! USA !"
Looking around with smiles and grins the Miyagi-Fang team soaked it all in chuckling at the newfound fame given to them
Tallest guy in the yard

Filling his plate with the Buffet a hand touched Chozen making him speak in japanese but he soon saw it was Daniel as he and Johnny had approached Chozen with Barnes
"Ha ! It's all good. It's all good, man" he said stumbling to the next spot at the buffet but Daniel just caught him
"Please, Chozen. Please. Let me get you back to the room. Ok ? come on"
Looking at the food options they had Chozen's face had softened as he looked up at the chief
"How come no steak ? WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS ?!" he said as he placed his plate down
"Isn't it a shame that not everyone can represent our sport with decorum ?" Chozen said to Gunther and the sponsors as they watched Daniel, Johnny and Barnes move Chozen away as he yelled "Get off my back" before pushing them away
"Chozen" Daniel sighed
'Wh- what happened ? Where've you been ? and why are you drinking so much ?"
"I went to Okinawa" Chozen drunkenly said before telling the story of what happened and why he was gone right before the whole picking the top 6 situation
Drunekly laughing Chozen shook his head
"I see Towel Man"
"SHOWER MAN, HUH ?! SHOWER MAN WEARING A TOWEL !" Chozen exclaimed making movements in demonstration while everyone around them started to witness the scene unfold
Looking around in cringe Barnes shook his head
"We gotta get him out of here were making a scene" he told Johnny who just nodded his head
"Ok Chozen relax" Daniel said as Chozen shook his head
"I was ready. I even bought Flower"
"Flower ? what…what flower ?"
"For Kumiko…" Chozen spoke
"Oh shit. This is about Kukomo" Johnny said
"kumono ? Who's kumono ?" Barnes asked in confusion but Daniel sighed with a headshake
"It's Kumiko. And it's a Long story, I'll explain later"
"I bought flowers. I bought…"
Trailing his eyes up Chozen saw the same exact flowers he bought for his long love making his face scrunch
"That flower" he pointed with a broken voice before moving around the table
"This is bad" Johnny said to Daniel and Barnes but that didn't stop Chozen from going to the table to grab the flower Immediately smashing it on the ground with a yell making everyone Grap
"Grab him !" Daniel told Johnny and Barnes
"On it !" Johnny responded as Chozen traveled to the next table
Ripping the plant out the pot with a sobbing yell Johnny had grabbed Chozen before he could escape and Barnes helped dragging him to the ground
"It's alright we got you buddy" Johnny said
"Chozen, come on relax everything's gonna be ok" Daniel reassured
Looking at the plant in hand Chozen just cried "KUMIKO !" making the three men sigh and drop their heads
"Gentlemen" Gunther said approaching the four Sensei's with two security guards getting their attention
"I think perhaps it's time to leave"
Looking at the sight Kreese had only chuckled at the entertainment

"Well I'd say our trip to the Sekai Taikai has been a success so far " Kenny said much to the team's agreement
"Give it all up to our glorious Team Captain" Devon said as the team gave Robby a round of applause making him chuckle
"I for one, am gonna say that I had no doubt in you buddy" Demetri said tapping Robby on his shoulder leaving everyone to chuckle and roll their eyes
"Let's just keep up this energy and momentum tomorrow ok everyone" Sam said
"Aye aye Captain" Miguel joked making everyone laugh
Taking a final sip of his soda Robby placed it on the nearby table before standing up out his chair from Miguel and Kenny's room
"Alright enough with the celebration" he said looking at everyone
"The Tournament starts tomorrow, so we all better get some good night's rest" he told everyone as they nodded their heads
"Alright how about the Captains go first, we'll clean up the mess" Miguel said pointing too all the snacks and bottles of Soda they had littered around the room
With a chuckle Robby and Sam made their leave closing the door behind them as they soon entered the Hallway of the hotel
"I Should probably get these keys to our Dad's" Robby said
"Get Sensei Barnes and Master Toguchi a room that way we're all evened out"
Nodding her head in agreement Sam had smiled
"Yeah…..but" her voice trailed interesting Robby
"We should go check it out first" she suggested
"You know, make sure Kwon really did pack up and leave"
Immediately growing a grin Robby thanked God that he decided to gable their rooms today

Tossing and turning in her bed Devon sighed as she tried to fight the butterflies within her stomach not able to fall asleep
Turning once more in her bed Devon looked at her phone, she'd been texting Kenny about her "problem" and it was safe to know he was feeling the same way although he was probably more eager than scared
Looking at the empty bed across from hers Devon only raised an eyebrow at where the hell Sam could be at this time of night
.

With clothes littered all over the floor, Robby and Sam slept comfortably and completely relaxed in each others arms
Wit her face buried in Robby's neck Sam was fast asleep with Robby holding her protectively, one of their hands laced together
Hearing Sam's soft snores gave Robby a form of reassurance that this was real, they were in fact here.
But it also left him to remember what he was fighting for

Aggressively flipping side to side in his bed, Kwon was not Happy
"Yoon, stop poking me" Kwon groaned
"I'm not poking you, It's a bed. So much space" he said flipping within the covers
Feeling Yoon poke him again kwon let out an annoyed groan before finally having enough and pushing Kwon off the bed with a thud
Dropping a pillow and blanket on the ground for Yoon. Kwon sprayed out in the bed and smiled as for once he finally able to sleep well
.

With a sleep mask covering his eyes Daniel continued to toss and turn in bed not able to fall asleep
And it wasn't because of nerves, no it was simply because Mike Fucking Barnes snored loud as all hell
Even on the ground Barnes snore like a goddamn freight train and it was pissing them off
Taking off his headphones Johnny just sighed as his rock music wasn't working trying to put him to sleep
Grabbing a pillow from his bed he threw it at Chozen trying to shut his snoring up as well but he only grabbed the pillow and turned on the ground mummering "Kumiko"

With a hand behind her head Tory continued to look up at the ceiling wide awake in worry
Turing to the clock that read 1:00 am Tory quietly sighed before looking at the bed across from her
Tory bit her lip before speaking worrying if he was even awake
"Eli…." she quality said almost afraid to get an answer
"Yeah" he responded back as quietly leaving herself in some form of reassurance
Dropping back in her bed so that she could look at the ceiling Tory sighed
"Are you cold ?…I'm cold…." she said but she didn't get a response this time
Minutes of silence had passed completely worrying her more but that worry had soon washed away once she felt her bed shift and two arms grabbed her from behind
"Are you still cold ?" he asked but she had Immediately started to feel his warmth
"No…thank you"
"Yeah no problem"
The silence within the room had returned but this time the compensation of being in the same bed together made up for it as Tory had licked her lips while continuing to lay on the pillow
"hey….I…uhh…..I we-I never got to thank you" she said making him hum his voice
"Hmm ? for what ?"
Swallowing the lump in her throat Tory spoke
"For coming with me" she said truthfully
"For being there for me, I asked a lot out of you. To leave the team, Demetri, Miguel, Sam. You turned your back on everyone you knew just to come with me and I never even thanked you about it"
Giving some time to think it over Hawk figured she was right
She never did thank him for it, this whole time she'd been cold, distant from him.
She didn't thank him until now
Growing a small smile Hawk silently chuckled to himself
"Yeah well you thanked me now, I guess that's all that matters" he said making Tory laugh
The first time in what felt like forever
Letting some more silence pass between the two, Tory soon had enough of the silence and turned in his arms so that she could face him fully where she had Immediately looked him in his eyes
It was dark all around them but they had no trouble looking at each other, seeing the pure love they had for one another through gazes of their eyes
Throwing all caution to the wind Tory thought with her heat and not her brain and leaned up to kiss him
Tightening his hold on her, Hawk had felt the intimacy in their kiss. It only made him grip onto her tighter before soon pulling her up to him as Tory had gotten on top of Hawk
Placing her hands on his chest the two continued to kiss before she soon sat up and pulled off her shirt letting it drop to the hotel room floor

With the lights the brightest they've ever been, the Sekai Taikai arena had been lit up as the arena and everyone else started to wake
Bringing down the Dojo's flags and placing the mat's tiles Teams had soon filled the place standing in their lines around the mat with Gunter in the middle holding a mic
"Time has come" he said with the mic in hand
"Welcome to our first event. I hope you're all well rested and ready for a new and unique competition. We call it the "Captain's war"."
Sam had just smiled looking back at Daniel and Johnny before looking at Gunther
"We all told you how important your Captains would be, so let's see how well you protect them"
Looking down at his team, Miguel, Kenny, Devon and Demetri nodded their heads proving they had his back
"Four of you will take the mat, Only one will be left standing. If you hit the mat, You're out. If one of your Captains hit the mat, Your entire TEAM is out for this round" Gunther confirmed
Looking directly across from them Kreese had patted Hawk on his shoulder as they both glared at Robby and Johnny but the feeling was very mutual on the receiving end
"Check the boards to see your group. Decided by random draw. Group A, You're up"
Looking at the board everyone read the names
FALCHI DELLA NOTTE
IRON DRAGONS
MIYAGI-FANG
COBRA KAI
More so the last two names made some hearts drop as Kwon smirked before looking across the man
Letting out a scoff Daniel just shook his head
"Cobra Kai, of course" he said with the very mutual feeling spread amongst the team
The four teams took the mat grouping individual while everyone else split waiting for the event to unfold
Seeing the Miyagi-Fang team group in a circle Hawk and Tory already knew what move they were planning
"We take Miyagi-Fang first. They're weakest, let them come to us. Than we fight the other dojangs" Kwon said but Hawk shook his head
"No, that's not gonna work. Me and Tory know what they're planning, they're gonna protect the egg" Hawk said while the team gave him confusing looks so Tory had to explain
"We need to attack, Break their front line and get to the Captains-"
"Be quiet" Kwon said shutting Tory up and Immediately Hawk raised an eyebrow
"The hell did you just say to her-"
"You heard me" Kwon doubled down
"You two may be Captains, But that doesn't mean you order us around. Just stay out of way and Don't. Fall. Down." Kwon said to Hawk and Tory making their faces scrunch in a glare
"Let them come to us" Robby said as the Miyagi-Fang team grouped together
"Protect the Egg, Me and Sam will be in the middle. Don't be so tight and packed together because we only have 4 people around us. Give yourselves some breathing room. Me and Sam will help out if needed alright ?"
Everyone just nodded their heads before
"We know exactly what to do, but they won't listen !" Tory yelled to Kreese and Kim
"I'm ready to win. No distractions"
"Why are you telling me ?" Sensei Kim asked walking up to Tory
"Go do it. Give them no choice but to follow you"
"Respect is earned, not given. You want your soldiers to fall in line tell them where to line up" Kreese said to them
"I know it hasn't always been pretty lately but no one could ever count us out, you hear me ? Do it for each other" Daniel told the team leaving them to nod their heads
"And wipe the smirks off their ugly faces"
Nodding their heads to Kreese and Kim Tory and Hawk Immediately pushed through their team
"Ready ?" Gunther said as Kwon gave Hawk and Tory confusing looks as they started to march away
"What are you doing ?"
"Shut up and follow us" Hawk growled
"BEGIN !"
Turning their heads Immediately the team's eyes went wide as they saw Tory and Hawk approaching them
"Guys protect the egg !" Demetri said but they couldn't get into formation as Tory had done a flip breaking directly through them
Both sides and teams charged at one another but Hawk officially started the fight as jumped over Tory doing a Superman Punch hitting Demetri directly in the chest knocking him to the mat hard making him groan while the other Cobra's followed right behind their Captains
"Demetri's out !" Miguel said as he blocked Kwon's double kicks before turning around to Block an incoming Cobra Kai's punch, giving him a kick to the get and a kick to the face
All hell had broken loose as Robby blocked the female Cobra's jab, throwing her to Miguel's opponent making them run into each other
"Robby Stay back !" Miguel said before Turning around, Immediately dodging Hawk's punch, before locking arms with his other to stop his move
Dodging a Series of strikes from one of the Cobra Kai's Robby grabbed his arm Kneeing him in the chest as he got a good look at the field
Devon and Tory were locked in a fight
Kenny was locked in a 2v1 against Kwon and the female Cobra Kai
Miguel and Hawk were locked in a fight
And Sam was all alone fighting Yoon
Kneeing his opponent again in the chest Robby punched him in the face before pushing him away
"GUYS PROTECT SAM ! SHE'S ALL ALONE !" Robby said as Sam had blocked Yoon's kick and gave her own that was blocked as they started to go back and forth trading blows
"LITTLE BUSY HERE ROBBY !" Kenny shouted as he blocked Kwon's attack before weaving the female Cobra Kai's punch, Immediately striking her in the gut before jumping to kick her in the ribs
"I got Tory !" Devon shouted as Tory had blocked a plethora of her jabs soon changing the tides as Tory put her on the defensive forcing her to block and soon block a high kick from Yoon
Ducking each of his opponents strikes Robby spun and kicked him in the back but the move ended up helping the Cobra Kai as he moved his focus to Sam who was all alone
"namja kaebtin-eul ij-eossdamyeon yeoja kaebtin-eul jjoch-agaseyo" (Forgot the male Captain, go after the female one) Kwon said as the Cobra Kai had Immediately jumped up trying to spin kick Sam but Robby soon came out of nowhere high kicking him in the chest so that his move couldn't connect
"Are you ok ?" Robby asked and Sam nodded her head before Immediately the two were brought back into the fight as Kwon went after Robby and the Cobra Kai went after Sam
Grabbing the Female Cobra's Leg Miguel had Immediately dropped her to the mat before jabbing her chest getting their first elimination
Yoon threw a Combo at Devon that she blocked but when she tried to diverge her eyes to Tory, Tory had only kicked her to the ground eliminating her
"Lee's out ! Kenny, Project the Captains !" Johnny shouted
Ducking under Hawk's kick he completely discarded their fight so that he could try and rush to Sam and Robby but Hawk had caught him, sweeping his foot before stomping on his chest eliminating Kenny
Leaving Johnny, Daniel and Barnes to just look at one another in headshakes
Blocking Kwon's kick, Robby dodged his other before Immediately stepping back dodging his jumping spin kick
Using Kwon's attack to run away Robby Immediately back kicked Sam's opponent dropping him to one knee before Sam kicked him in the face and brought her leg up, dropping it to slam him to the mat
Blocking Kwon's kick, Miguel blocked Tory's grabbing her arm to fling her away into Hawk's arms
Holding a defensive stance, Miguel dodged both of Yoon's jabs. Before ducking under his kick and Immediately Miguel swept his foot dropping Yoon to the mat making the match up even
"YES ! NICE DIAZ !" Johnny said clapping his hands
Looking around at everyone left Miguel, Robby and Sam gradually found each other group together again
But so did Hawk Tory and Kwon as the stood directly in front of the trio making Kwon smirk
"Ya ! Clap it up for the Big 3 yeah" he teased making Miguel, Robby and Sam glare at him
"MIGUEL ! ROBBY ! SAM ! FOCUS UP !" Barnes yelled but they didn't hear him too locked in on their personal matchups just making him groan
"Well come on Big Three, let's see what you got" Kwon challenged
A challenge they accepted
"I got Hawk" Robby told Sam and Miguel and they nodded their heads
Giving Robby a smirk the two broke apart
"You and me" Tory said making Sam get into her fighting position
"You and me" she gritted before immediately blocking her kicks starting their fight
Looking at the two fights taking place Kwon had only snorted as he looked at Miguel
"You know me and you are a lot alike, we both deserve to be Captain, but instead. We're just number 2"
Shaking his head Miguel brought his fist up making Kwon chuckle
"And that's the difference between you and me"
"I hate, being Number 2"
Charging at Miguel with a yell, Kwon jumped leaving Miguel to block his kicks as Kwon landed on the ground leaving Miguel to block his side kick before doing a side flip completely dodging his high kick
With their fist clenched Tory and Sam paced around each other hesitant to strike
"You got this Sam !" Daniel said clapping his hands
Charging at Tory, Sam Immediately swung leaving Tory to block, moving her hand away so that she could try and strike just for Sam to block with both her hands
Blocking Tory's low punch and kick, She quickly switched to offensive jabbing a punch Tory blocked before throwing a kick making Tory grab her leg
Flinging herself to the ground, Sam tried to Kick Tory in the face, But the blonde had just moved out the way trying to jab a series of times before Sam kicked Tory in the leg making her backup so that she could get up herself
The two girls traded hook kicks both missing each other but it just left them to create space between one another as the pounced on their toes
Glaring at one another Robby and Hawk shared no words only action as Robby tried to low kick Hawk leaving Hawk to kick his leg back before raising his leg up to try and kick Robby in the chest
Catching Hawk's leg, Robby Immediately let go so that he could dodge Hawk's spin kick with his other foot
Trading blow after blow with each other Sam and Tory continued to fight as Tory struck a hook punch that Sam ducked
Throwing a punch that Hawk blocked into another punch with his other arm Hawk blocked, Robby punched Hawk in the gut then the chest then the face in a three hit combo
Robby tried to go a 4th time attempting to Punch Hawk in the face, but Hawk weaved the attack striking Robby in the rib before trying to punch him in the face leaving Robby to block
Giving a fake out hand on the right, Robby's eyes went wide as Hawk connected a punch to the face and then a backhand from the other side
Punching Hawk in the chest, Robby struck a side kick hitting Hawk before dodging out the way of his punch so that he could grab his arm and knee him in the chest before moving him around so that he could knee him again
Robby's ferocity continued as he wrapped Hawk around getting him in a standing headlock making Hawk groan
Striking Robby in the ribs numerous times with his elbow both boys gritted their teeth in anger as Hawk hopped on his feet before fully committing doing a backflip in Robby's grasp getting him back to his feet and behind Robby
Letting out an angered yell Hawk had Fully picked up Robby leaving everyone to watch in a wide eyed reaction as Hawk German Suplex Robby landing him flat on the mat with a sound of a horn being honked
"NO !" Daniel yelled
"Shit" Johnny groaned
"Miyagi-Fang Captain down, Miyagi-Fang is out !" the announcer said making Sam and Miguel drop their fist
"Damn it !" Sam groaned
"Gah !" Miguel said dropping his fist as Kwon smirked and laughed
Banging his hand on the mat Robby only shook his head
"FUCK !"
Doing a kick up to his feet Hawk had just laughed gaining Robby's eyes
"Like I said, I'll put you down" Hawk growled making Robby tighten his jaw in anger as Kwon and Tory had approached Hawk
Miguel and Sam helped Robby up to his feet before soon enough the three of them walked off the man making Kwon laugh
"Too easy man come on" he said making Miguel scrunch his face and shake his head as the trio stepped off the mat
"We're sorry you guys lost" Devon said as the trio looked all three of them in anger
They were not happy
"Yeah If there's anything we can do-" Demetri began but Robby just cut him off
"Don't bother" he said looking at the three of them
"You did everything you could" he growled
It wasn't supposed to be a complement and Kenny, Demetri and Devon took it that way as their faces had only dropped while the event continued
"Ok, Ok, Captain's got some moves" Kwon said making Hawk chuckle
Tapping Hawk on his chest Tory smiled
"Nice job out there" she said making him smile
With another sound of a Horn being honked the announcer spoke
"Falchi Della Notte Captain down. They are out. Only Cobra Kai and the Iron Dragons remain alive" he said making Kwon, Hawk and Tory turn their heads to see that all 6 of the Iron Dragons were indeed still standing
"All Six are still standing" Tory muttered in a hint of confusion in how that was even possible
"What is your strategy now ?" Kwon asked
Looking over the team Tory began to think
"Same as before, we're outnumbered two to one, We pierce the front line, go straight for the Captains"
"Ok" Kwon said as he and Hawk shook their heads and hands readying themselves
The trio got into their fighting position and with a battle cried yell the three of them charged only for the 4 Iron Dragons standing in front of their Captains to Immediately take a knee halting Kwon, Tory and Hawk
Everyone watched the move all together and everyone had the same confused reaction as Sensei Kim dropped her arms
"What are they doing ?" she asked
"Ho !" one of them said before all of them raised to their feet and walked away leaving leaving their Captains as the last ones standing
With jaw dropped expressions the Miyagi-Fangs watched in complete confusion as the two Iron Dragon Captains stepped forward waiting in anticipation as they continued to grip their belts tightly
"I'll take the little girl" Tory said before looking at Hawk and Kwon
"You take the big guy"
Nodding their heads the Trio split up as Hawk looked at Kwon
"I'll go low, You go high" he said leaving Kwon to nod his head
"Got it"
Immediately charging Tory tried to jump and kick her opponent while Hawk struck low sliding on the grown for a low kick leaving the male Iron Dragon Captain to simply dodge by moving his foot
Kwon had sprung doing a jumping spin kick trying to strike him in the head but he only dodged that as well
The female Captain had quickly dodged each of Tory's strikes with fast speed and reaction
Doing another spin kick the Male Captain grabbed Kwon before picking him up to slam him on the ground eliminating him
Jumping in the fight with a high kick the big guy dodged, Hawk strike a punch leaving him to Immediately catch Hawk's fist, slinging his arm over his shoulder and picking him up
Catching Tory's fist the female Captain flung herself around Tory's body dropping her to the mat while the Male Captain completely slammed Hawk to the ground making him groan and even cough in pain as the Horn was honked once more
"Both Cobra Kai Captains go down. The Iron Dragons win" the announcer said as the Miyagi-Fang team had all looked at each other along with their Sensei's
But they weren't the only ones as Kreese and Kim were at a last for words as other Dojos cheered in the Iron Dragon's win
Looking at the crowd of sponsors up to The Male Captain simply put his hand to his elbow leaving them to cheer while Tory looked up in confusion at the girl who looked down at her
"Welcome to Barcelona, Bitch" she said before blowing a kiss to the crowd and waving
Getting up to her feet Tory was at a complete lost for words at what just happened while Robby and Sam looked at each other in honest concern
Getting up to their feet Hawk looked the male Captain Up and down while Kwon huffed his breathe and tightened his Gi in anger leaving them to watch the two Captains walked away towards their Sensei
Their Sensei that Johnny very much noticed. As he squinted his eyes seeing it was the steak stealer from the Cocktail mixer
And he noticed him as he Smirked at Johnny and nodded his head before walking away
16 other dojos, It wasn't just them vs Cobra Kai anymore
