Bangkok. Thailand
Three Months Earlier
Sitting his 4th cup within his grasp Terry Silver continued to wallow in pity of himself
Truth be told he's seen better days. He's hit rock bottom before but this….this was worse than them all, and not even the taste of booze and men fighting for money within this underground fighting ring he sat in could change his outlook on life
He looked up from his seat so that he could continue to watch the cage match, Less of a fight more of a slaughter as a suited man holding a briefcase came down the steps looking around in confusion
Silver had noticed the man and by the small sigh and eye roll he was given SIlver just smirked knowing this was gone be good
"Terry. Hey" the man grinned taking a seat before playfully slapping Silver on his back
"He couldn't meet at the four seasons ? you had to pick this shithole ?"
SIlver didn't give a response, just continued to sip his booze letting the man knowing everything he needed
"So I have some good news. Got the judge to officially throw away your case. Not that it was tough. That Raymond Porter character, you know, the Stingray guy ? Least credible witness of all time"
A waiter had came by and dropped off another set of drinks while the man just continued
"Yeah he tried to get this kid, Bert, to testify on his behalf. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in a courtroom"
The sound of cheering had caused Silver to raise his head as both him and the man looked up at the cage match happening
They watched as one of the men grabbed the other's punch and Immediately kneed him in the face causing blood to splatter everywhere making the person sitting with Terry Silver very uncomfortable
"Look, Terry. I gotta say ever since you've been back in Karate You've been acting-"
Immediately placing down his cup on the table with a loud thud his movement caused the man to pause as finally Silver gave him a look, revealing the depression in his eyes behind his fallen silver hair
"I'm just saying you blew a lot of money on those dojos, You're lucky to have the yacht left. I just don't want you to go on a downward spiral and…end up in the morgue like your buddy, Snake"
Shaking his head Silver picked up another glass and raised it
"We'll all end up there someday" he grinned making the man sigh
Back within the cage both fighters held two very different expressions as one was up and standing ready to go again while the other frailed around on the ground gasping for his life
"Come on, man….I'm done" the beaten fighter said crawling to the end of the cage so that he could pull himself up
The other fighter had only smirked before getting himself into his own Kata, bringing his hands up and down as he watched the man slowly rise to his feet
Soon bringing his hands up together the man flipped his position making Silver smirk
"Ooh, Watch this" he said as the man twisted in his jump before doing a back kick striking his opponent directly in his peck
The kick caused a crunch to be heard and the man sitting with Silver had only jumped in reaction watching as the man clenched his peck tightly and dropped to the ground as he started to shake and twitch, blood started to shoot out his mouth and it was like watching a horror movie in real life
"Jesus Christ…"
"I still have my offshore accounts ?" Silver asked with a grin leaving the man to look at him with uncertainty
"Yeah. But I don't know what you're gonna want-"
Putting a hand up cutting him off Silver shook his head
"That's all I needed to hear"
With his intentions in mind it wasn't long until the winning Fighter of the match had approached Silver with his own smirk, a beer bottle in hand
"Man said you wanted to see me ?"
"Yes" Silver smiled before he mimicked the move he saw him do making him chuckle
"Was that the Shaolin Sunset ? I thought that move were banned"
"No, not here" the man had smirked wiping himself with his towel before smacking it on the table so that he could lean close to Silver
"And I only gave him three-quarter speed"
Silver just chuckled loving his idea more and more
"What are you from the commission ?" he asked leaving Silver to shake his head
"No, no, We're not from the commission"
Getting up from his chair so that he could properly look the Fighter face to face Silver's serious change in attitude showed the offer he was about to hand up
"But I do know about your financial issues Mr Wolf" Silver said making the man purse his lips tightly
"Lost ownership of your dojo. Some problems can be solved in the cage but not this one. You got into bed with the wrong people, friend"
"Ah" Sensei Wolf grinned
"Are you my friend now ?"
"No" Silver shook his head, his own sick challenging grin plastered on his face
"I'm your savior" he admitted making Sensei Wolf's eyebrow raise
"I'm here to pay off all your debts"
"What's the catch, then ? hmm ?"
"As defending champions, your team has an automatic berth to the Sekai Taikai. Now I have some "friends" who wanna play spoiler. You show them the error of their ways, by…..Embarrassing them in front of the world, and I'll sign ownership of the dojo back to you forever"
Immediately smiling Sensei Wolf nodded his head loving this agreement
"Consider it done" he agreed making Silver smile
"Yes"
"No. No Nothing's done here. Come on, Terry" the man said standing up so that he could get Silver's attention
"Buying another dojo ? Think about your legacy ?"
"Legacy ?" Silver growled
"Those sons of bitches ruined my reputation ! they took the one thing left in the world I cared about ! so, if I'm going to hell"
Silver picked up his glass and shook his head
"I'm taking 'em down with me !"
Present Day
With glares on all their faces everyone in that room had one common enemy in mind as they looked at Silver sitting in his hot tub
"You were behind my kidnapping ?" Daniel said to Silver, a angered growl in his voice only fueling the man's smirk as he took a hit of his cigar
"Your obsession with your mentor's past made it way too easy" he said making Chozen, Kim, Kreese and Barnes just look at Daniel before back to Silver
"Plus, I couldn't resist reintroducing you to Mr. De Guzman here. Mike you might remember him"
Daniel and Barnes turned their heads to the long haired man who only smirked back at them
"Hey Mike, long time no see. Working with this prick huh. I've seen it all"
"Yeah well your about to see nothing in a second tough guy"
Daniel Immediately held Barnes back making Silver chuckle
"Enough, Terry" Kreese said halting the conflict
"You got three seconds to get out of there. Or we're gonna get you out" Kreese threatened and the looks on everyone's face only confirmed they had the same idea in mind
"One"
"Two"
"Mr Silver, Are you ready ?" a spanish lady asked suddenly entering the room stopping Kreese's countdown
The workers presences had changed the situation as Silver nodded his head
"Sì, Gabriella. Uno momento por favor, I'm so sorry, folks, but it is time for my four-hand massage" Silver grinned placing his cigar in his ash trash as he prepared to get up
"I was really looking forward to seeing this play out, But An appointment's an appointment" he said before suddenly standing up showing his goods to everyone leaving Silver to relish in their tensed faces
"You look a little tense, John. You should book yourself in here. My treat" he laughed walking up to Kreese so that the workers could put a robe around him to cover him up leaving Kreese to do nothing more but glare at Silver in tight anger
"Just like the old days"
Once the robe was placed on him Silver gave the Sensei's a final chuckle before walking away leaving his "Team" to follow
Kreese had Immediately tried to pull out his Eunjangdo but Sensei Kim stopped him
"Not here. Not now" she said in all the seriousness
"Let's win the tournament first"
Letting out a huff within his breathe Kreese backed off getting a look at Daniel, Barnes and Chozen before walking off
Kim too gave Chozen one last look before soon following Kreese and it was so assertive that even Barnes and Daniel had their questions
"What was that ?" Daniel asked making Chozen turn his head
"Umm….it is nothing, I'm sure. What do we do now ?"
Giving it some thought Daniel let out a quiet sigh and shook his head
"We can't hide this from the kids. If we're gonna take on Kreese and Silver we're all gonna need to work together"
Barnes and Chozen nodded their heads in full support and agreement
"Guys come on" he said before soon enough the three of them left ready to face off against their biggest challenge yet

"We're back, Bitches ! Eager to kick ass !" Johnny said opening the door to the hotel room as He, Miguel and Anthony entered with eagerness on their faces
But once they entered the room it was very well shown that the rest of the team didn't share the same outlook as glum faces and thinking looks was one thing everyone in the room shared
"Who's ready to win this thing ?" Johnny asked but everyone just dropped their heads making Johnny's eyebrow raise
"Are you sure they didn't get eliminated yet ?" Anthony asked Miguel
"What crawled up everyone's butts ?" Johnny said as Daniel, Chozen and Barnes had their own concerned looks as they all look at Johnny
Filling Johnny in on what he missed Johnny suddenly found himself pacing back and forth with a growl not believing what they just told him
"That ponytail prick is back ? You gotta be kidding me !" Johnny groaned while Daniel, Chozen and Barnes just looked at each other
"What good is prison if Kreese can escape and Silver doesn't even go huh ?"
"It's very well obvious that the Sekai Taikai admission policy is also hot ass" Barnes stated
"Alright guys for better or for worse the Sekai Taikai doesn't know what went down in the Valley" Daniel stated and they all knew his words couldn't be more true
"Silver is here to make good on his promise. Becoming the number one Dojo worldwide"
"Silver cannot win with Cobra Kai, so he buys another dojo !" Chozen said in a low yell
"And we all know from experience that he's not afraid to get his hands dirty" Daniel added
"Look screw Silver alright" Johnny says
"We took him down before. We'll do it again. I came back, Left Carmen….to win. Let's finish what we started"
"Yes"
"Hell Yeah"
Nodding their heads Chozen and Barnes had patted Johnny and Daniel on their backs before walking away leaving Daniel and Johnny alone to talk
"Hey Johnny I umm…." Daniel began licking his lips as he wanted to get the words out
"I'm just relieved that Carmen and the baby are ok man, and I uhh…I appreciate you taking care of the team while I'm gone. I know I left you guys at the most important time But I promise I will never ever leave you guys again…"
Daniel sighed
"Your my Brother Johnny" he admitted making Johnny do nothing more but smile
"Yeah…yeah thanks LaRusso…I uhh…I think highly of you too"
Daniel did nothing more but laugh as he knew the true meaning of what Johnny meant
"Alright let's go win this thing" Daniel said and Johnny just nodded his head

Within the hotel room the team prepared themselves for today's event, leaving Miguel and Anthony to unpack their backs while Miguel was field in on the night before
With Miguel, Sam, Robby and Demetri talking that just left Devon and Kenny to approach Anthony
"I guess it looks like we were all able to get here huh" Kenny said making Anthony turn around and chuckle as he had seen Devon and Kenny's smiles
"Hey guys"
Immediately hugging the two Anthony had soon let out a heavy breath of air as he ran a hand through his hair trying to shake out his last minute nerves
"Yeah, granted I'm a reserve and you two will be the ones out there kicking ass….yep, we're all here together"
"And I wouldn't want to have it any other way" Kenny smiled patting Anthony on his arm causing him to chuckle
Anthony turned his head to look at the older teens and already he could tell something was off the way Robby had his head down while his nose was pinched while his sister just continued to have a mean mug on her face with her arms crossed
He hadn't seen her this mad since that one time he pranked her and replaced her shampoo with popcorn butter, her hair was sleek for 3 weeks
"What's wrong with them ?" Anthony asked making Devon and Kenny just look back at the older teens with a sigh
"Cobra Kai" was all Devon needed to say before Anthony had nodded his head
"Great so even across the world those assholes are still a problem"
Kenny nodded his head
"It might sound hard to believe but we haven't been doing so hot in the tournament either. We're barely alive out there and if we don't fix our act fast. We're heading home"
Biting his lip in thought Anthony simply let out a small sigh whilst nodding, he knew things were bad but he didn't know they were this bad, and all he could think about was was there any way to fix it ?
Letting out a groan Robby continued to pinch his nose
His head was killing him
He shouldn't have drunk last night
"Here" a voice said making him look up to see Sam handing him a water bottle
"Thanks" he responded accepting the drink as he Immediately downed it
With her arms crossed and a glare on her face Sam only looked at Robby in disappointment and she had to let it be known
"I can't believe you drunk last night" Sam said catching Robby off guard as he had to finish his sip before speaking
"What ?"
"You heard me, Robby you drank last night ? You don't drink"
Her voice was assertive, it spoke in nothing but disappointment and anger towards him but all Robby could do is furrow his eyebrows in confusion on what she was exactly made about
"Well maybe I wouldn't have had too if you didn't just up and leave in the middle of the night" Robby snapped back stopping Miguel and Demetri's conversation as they Immediately turned their heads to face them
Getting up from his seat so that he could face Sam's angered expression face to face how own frown was forming
"Speaking of which, where the hell were you even ?" Robby asked making Sam's eyes diverge as she tried to look away from his now angered expression
"One moment you say you were going out for some air and the next your barging into the bar ready to pick a fight with Hawk and Tory"
"Ok guys…..let's not do this now. Please ?" Miguel said making Robby and Sam turn their heads to face him
"We have more important things to worry about right now with Silver being back and Cobra Kai still being a threat so please let's just…...put this on pause ?"
Sam and Robby looked at each other with glares, their angered expressions speaking volumes to everyone. But something within them knew Miguel was right
"You heard him" Robby said making Sam bit the inside of her mouth with a scowl
"Let's put this on pause"
Robby had simply repeated the words Miguel said but the way he said it made everyone feel like it had a deeper meaning than just their conversation
But Sam had simply leaned up to him face to face and spoke
"Fine by me" she said before walking away from him to go to the other side of the room leaving Miguel to quietly gasp as he looked back and forth at Robby and Sam who now didn't even want to look at each other
Letting out a sigh Miguel shook his head
"The hell just happened ?" he mumbled but Demetri had just put a hand on his shoulder with his own answer
"I think you just paused their relationship" he said making Miguel sigh again as that was NOT what he meant
Walking over to his backpack Robby had unzipped and Immediately found the ring box he bought last night
Looking over at Sam who was still avoiding him Robby just shook his head and closed the bag before throwing it onto a nearby chair discarding it from his memory so that he could focus on his one true intention
Winning the tournament

"Top 8 Dojos !" Gunter said as he looked at the rays of Gi's before him
"Welcome to our final group event. Over the course of the tournament you have each proven yourselves worthy of your place atop the leaderboard"
Daniel couldn't help but turn his head across from him to see the Iron Dragons and of course there stood Terry Silver's smirk that made him want to puke
"And after today, only the best of the best will gain entry into our tournament of champions"
Equal feelings were mutual as well though as Silver had turned his head to face Kreese's glare. Seeing his old friend's eyes that spoke he wanted to kill was definitely a…..refreshing sight
Lined up single file behind one another Robby had looked down at Sam not even attempting to touch her. Hell she didn't even want to be touched by him as she looked back with her eyes before looking back at Gunther paying full attention
Hawk and Tory had been complete opposites as Hawk felt Tory's hand lace with his, it was a warming feeling of reassurance. One that kept him stable and the small butterflies that pooled within him in check
Just one more match to the finals
Love had clearly been in the air though as when Kwon turned his head he Immediately locked eyes with Zara
A small smile grew on his face, it only grew more when he saw the kiss she blew to him along with the heart she made with her fingers
Looking across from him, Robby raised an eyebrow as he had Immediately seen Axel looking directly at him. Nothing but a strong silent glare that was directed towards him confusing Robby on what he even did to deserve it ?
"Now here are the rules for this round. Each time will face three opponents determined by random draw. In an all-dojo tag team COMPETITION !" Gunther confirmed causing cheers to be heard all around
"Two fighters inside the ring. One from each dojo at a time"
Zara had stepped into the ring, Facing against the Russian teams Female Captain
"Fighters, ready" the ref said
"The Other ten fighters remain outside, waiting to be tagged in by their teammate"
Within the ring Tory held her fist up in her fighting position pouncing on her toes against her opponent
"FIGHT !"
Immediately striking Zara pounced throwing 2 jabs that were blocked by her opponent
Striking a kick that her opponent dodged, Tory kept up her barrage of kicks that were blocked as well
Once Tory's foot had landed on the ground. Tory threw a punch that her Opponent grabbed before slamming her fist in her arm making her hit the mat with a groan
"Fighting will be continuous"
Tagging Vlad in, Zara Immediately spun out the way of his Front Kick before twirling into a side flip dodging his kick and high Kick so that she could tag in Axel
"Hurry ! Hurry ! Tag !" Kwon said and Tory just groaned before Tagging Kwon in so that she could roll to her spot on the outer ring
"No stoppages, no timeouts"
Blocking Vlad's kick with his Leg, Axel blocked his high kick and then his side punch so that he could Immediately deliver a fast and hard punch to his chest knocking Vlad back to his teammate to tag him in
"POINT !" the Ref said
Turning back Axel Immediately tagged in Zara
"So use your teammates wisely"
Pouncing on his toes the Russian Fighter quickly got a look of Zara making him chuckle as he didn't take her seriously. But she continued to stand in anticipation waiting for him
Immediately running to her the russian fighter did a side flip that Zara ducked Slid under and right when he landed he mockingly gave Zara an applaud looking around in pure mockery before Zara give him a spin kick stopping his act as well as pushing him back
Seeing the shock on his face only fueled Zara to applaud him back before blocking his attempt punch as they started going back in forth trading jab after block at the center of the mat
Giving her opponent a side to side kick Zara threw a high kick making him back up into a spin kick striking him directly in the chest
"Point ! Iron Dragons, 2-0 !"
"The first dojo to score three points wins the match"
Letting out a readied yell Kwon struck, throwing multiple kicks to his opponents sides before dodging his attempt punch as he responded with a spin kick just barley missing creating space between the two of them
Going in for a low sweep that left him sliding on the mat Kwon's opponent just did a twist flip dodging his attack but when he landed Kwon caught himself, placing a hand on the ground so that he could flip in the air striking his foot to his opponents face
"Point !" the ref said as Kwon backed up to tag in Tory
Dodging the Russian fighter's ground swing kick, Zara spun on the ground. Dodging his flip and he caught himself recovering into a split before bouncing back to his feet as Zara had tagged in Axel
Blocking her opponents Kick with her leg, Tory kicked the girl's knee dropping her to the mat
Her opponent had blocked her 3 jabs, But Tory Immediately caught her arm and kneed the girl in the face before kicking her in the chest making her flop to the mat
"Point ! Cobra Kai 2-0 !" the ref said as Tory went and tagged in Hawk while her opponents Captain was tagged in by the girl
Moving into the ring Axel Immediately kicked his opponents ribs pushing him back with great force that left him stunned. But right when the Russian fighter tried to tag in the female captain Axel had ran up and kicked his opponent stopping their action before kicking the fighter's lower leg making him groan in pain
Bringing his hand around so that he could ready his last strike Axel looked at the Russian fighter ready to end this match
"By the end of today, Your Captains will either be fighting in the tournament of champions"
Hitting his Opponent with an elbow to the face dazzling him completely, Hawk grabbed him and kneed him in the ribs before throwing him to the ground face first as he flopped onto his back in pain as Hawk stood over him
"Or be eliminated"
Running to his opponent Axel gave him a hard and serious side kick dropping him to the mat while Hawk did a front flip landing his leg directly on his opponents chest
"Watching from the sidelines
"POINT ! COBRA KAI WINS !"
Hawk did nothing more but yell out a raging yell of victory as his opponent rolled away in pain but that didn't stop the other Cobra's from surrounding Hawk as they all celebrated his victory
"POINT ! IRON DRAGON WINS !"
Axel himself let out how own yell of victory as his team had surrounded in basking in their success
The Miyagi-Fang team were right there to watch Cobra Kai's match and it only left them with an unsettling feeling within them as Sam and Robby had looked at one another with uncertainty
"May the best dojos win"
MIYAGI-FANG VS FURIA DE PANTERA
Stepping onto the mat Robby held a glare on his face as His opposing Captain Diego walked on to meet him at the center of the mat
Robby had bowed out of respect but Diego had only smirked putting a fist up in the air making Robby furrow his eyebrows before they got their fighting position
"Let's see if I can take that smirk off your face" Robby mumbled as he gripped his fist tightly
"FIGHT !"
Throwing a Kick that Diego blocked, Robby threw another but right when Diego blocked it Robby brought his leg back so that he could kick him in the chest dropping him to the mat
"POINT !" the ref said making Daniel, Chozen, Johnny, Barnes and Anthony clap their hands
"YES ! HELL YEAH ROBBY !" Johnny cheered
Looking down at Diego's growl as he clutched his chest he soon looked up at Robby's smirk
"What's wrong not so confident anymore" he said making Diego growl as he tried to sweep Robby's leg
Bringing his foot up to dodge, Robby dodged his uppercut before ducking under his spin kick
"Robby tag me in" Sam said reaching her arm out but Robby shook his head
"No, I got it" he responded before blocking Diego's flying punch causing him to be put on the defensive
Blocking a plethora of Diego's strikes and jabs, Robby blocked his kick with his leg before blocking his attempted punch. And Immediately Robby brought his leg up dodging his sweep kick before doing a twist flip to jump over Diego
"Robby tag me in ! Come on !"
"Sam, I said I got this !" Robby shouted this time looking at her groan
"Why are you being like this ! Just tag me in !"
"Why ?! how do I know you're actually gonna win ?" Robby asked making Sam's eyes go wide in a gasp as it was very obvious Robby was not talking about the match
The conversation couldn't continue through as Diego had done a jumping twist kick hitting Robby directly in the face dropping him to the mat making the non fighting Miyagi-Fangs to just sigh and drop their heads
"POINT ! Miyagi-Fang and Furia De Pantera 1-1"
"Ok what's going on with them" Barnes asked Johnny and Daniel and the two of them had only looked at each other with a sigh wishing they knew the answer
Letting out a groan Robby picked himself up but Immediately someone grabbed him and yanked him out the ring before slapping his hand
And once his vision cleared it revealed to be Sam making Robby's eyes go wide
"What the ? Sam ! I-"
Sam had Immediately shoved Robby keeping him in his place and the angered look on his face truly confidence him she was pissed
"Take a break !" she growled before turning around to face the match
placing her hand on the mat Sam he performed a low spin kick into a jumping spin kick before throwing a sweep kick, all attacks Diego dodged
Jumping to her feet Sam threw a kick Diego blocked, before Sam blocked Diego's kick causing them to start going back and forth trading blows and blocks
Throwing a side kick that Sam dodged, Sam struck two kicks Diego blocked before finally Sam twisted into another side kick causing Diego to back up where he Immediately tagged in the female Captain for his team
"Maria" Diego said making the girl smirk as she stepped in the ring pumping her fist
The fight's tempo had hastily changed as Maria threw two quick kicks that Sam dodged before spin kick just barley missing Sam which caused Maria to chuckle
Brining her foot up to kick Sam, the girl in white was quickly put on the defensive as Sam stood in a strong stance blocking all of Maria's kicks with the same leg before soon enough grabbing her leg and kicking her other one dropping her to the mat
Immediately bringing her leg up into her serpent stance Sam kept Maria low to the ground as she kicked one side of her body before kicking the other keeping Maria confused on the defensive so that when she shot up to her feet and attempted to strike. Sam blocked, keeping her arm high so that she could jab her gut
"YES ! let's go Sam !" Anthony cheered clapping his hands while Johnny, Barnes, Daniel and Chozen had done the same
"POINT ! 2-1 ! MIYAGI-FANG !" the ref said
Immediately turning back so that she could tag in Kenny. Robby had snaked his arm out stealing Kenny's tag
Sam's eyes went wide in shock in what happened but Robby had just Immediately spun her around placing her within her spot on the mat
Sam wasn't the only one confused as everyone on the team grew looks of confusion at what Robby had done
"Robby what the hell ?" Miguel said
"Robby ! that tag was for Kenny !" Sam yelled but Robby had just ignored her as he got into his fighting position watching Maria run to tag in her teammate
His opponent Immediately let out a yell as he marched onto the mat but Robby stayed in a strong stance within his fighting position as he quickly struck leading his opponent to just slam his fist onto Robby's leg making him groan
Throwing punch after punch that was blocked Robby's opponent had Immediately rammed into him with pure strength causing Robby to move backwards on the mat before he Immediately blocked the fighter's plethora of kicks. Following the man, Both Robby and the Fighter did a side flip switching positions on the mat
Dodging his opponent Punch Robby grabbed his arm and stuck his rib with a knee before letting go so that he could dodge his other heavy swing.
Wrapping his leg around the man's arm Robby jumped up and flung him on the mat but his opponent had only recovered in a roll as suddenly Robby watched in a shocked expression as the man started to crawl on the floor yelling at Robby
"Robby ! tag me in !" Miguel said reaching out for Robby, But Robby had just looked at him in hesitation confusing everyone
"Robby what are you doing tag him in !" Demetri yelled only making Robby lick his lips in thought before he looked at his opponent continuing to crawl on the ground
Turning his head to look at the Cobra Kai watching their match Robby's eyes only went to Hawk, seeing his smirk which only pissed him off as soon enough Robby's determined glare returned
Waving off Miguel Robby ran to his opponent making his team sigh
Jumping into a side kick, Robby's leg was Immediately swept by his opponent, dropping him to the mat with a hard thud before His opponent jumped in the air with a spin soon slamming his fist onto Robby's chest
"POINT !" the ref said making the team groan in disappointment
"SCORE 2-2 !"
Tagging his female teammate in Robby quickly blocked her jab and then her kick getting back to his feet, as he blocked her other throwing her out the way
Bringing his fist up ready to strike, a hand had Immediately stopped him as Sam had grabbed his arm opening his fist and slapping his hand before throwing him back in line
"Sam what the hell !" Robby yelled but Sam ignored him as she blocked the woman's jump before kicking trying to strike her chest but she only blocked using the falling momentum to tag in her teammate
Backing up into her fighting position, Robby waited until Sam backed up far enough so that he could grab her waist and slap her hand before sliding right next to her onto the mat making Sam groan
"DAMMIT !"
Shaking their heads at the complete mockery Sam and Robby were making the team Daniel knew this had to change FAST
And the incoordination just left everyone to watch as Robby threw jab after jab that was blocked before blocking his opponent's knee. Bringing his hand up to block his down strike only to get faked out as his opponent ended up punching Robby directly in the chest
"POINT ! WINNER !" the ref confirmed making Robby's face drop in a sigh while the other team had only rushed the man in complete celebration
"Team Pantera with an impressive victory. Miyagi-Fang's loss puts them on the verge of elimination after their first match"
The team Sensei's along with Anthony had just looked at each other completely unsure of what they just saw but the feeling was very mutual for everyone as Miguel, Kenny, Devon and Demetri looked at each other in a complete loss for words
Scrunching her fist tightly Sam stepped out of line as she started marching up to Robby
"What the HELL ! WAS THAT !" she shouted shoving Robby making his breath huff as he quickly showed his own anger
"That was ME ! trying to win and YOU getting in the way"
"Oh I was getting in the way" Sam snorted
"Says the one who got EVERY POINT SCORED ON THEM !"
"I WASN'T ASKING FOR YOU HELP !"
"AND I DIDN'T NEED YOURS !"
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH !" Daniel and Johnny yelled stopping Robby and Sam from arguing as both their father's stormed the mat
"ROBBY ! SAM ! LOCKER ROOM ! NOW !" Johnny demanded and both Robby and Sam looked at each other with an angered glare before they left leaving everyone else to only sigh as Miguel rested his hands above his head with a headshake
They last thing they needed were their captains fighting
Scratch that
The last thing he needed was his friends fighting
Robby and Sam walked off the mat heading out the arena but before they even could, Axel had bumped into Robby knocking him of course only confusing Robby more as he raised an already angered eyebrow
"What the hell was that ?" he asked and Sam had turned her head to look at Axel walking away
"I….I don't know" he said but the hesitation in her voice only angered Robby more as he knew she was lying
"Team falling apart faster than crunch taco" Chozen said shaking his head
"We haven't even faced his team yet, and Silver's already affecting us" Daniel said
"Yeah well ignoring him clearly isn't working" Barnes groaned
Turning his head to look at the man Johnny shook his head and pursed his lips
"He wants to screw with us, Maybe we should screw with him right back" Johnny proposed as the 4 sensei's watched Kreese and Kim walk up to the man hearing Kreese threaten him while Kim pushed him along
"Maybe, use other enemy to do screwing hmm" Chozen proposed causing Daniel, Johnny and Barnes to look at him

Entering the locker room in nothing but irritated anger Robby huffed his breathe while Sam followed close behind him
Slamming the door behind them shut Robby Immediately turned around to face his girlfriend sharing the same exact look she did
"Ok what the hell is going on with you !" Sam asked scrunching Robby's face
"Me ?"
"Yeah you ! Robby you were completely selfish out there, you didn't tag in Miguel, you pulled me out the fight, you took Kenny's tag"
"I was the best option out there, I was doing what it takes to win !"
"Oh so that's what that was ?! winning ! because everything I saw out there was nothing more but embarrassment" Sam snarled making Robby huff his breathe before sighing in anger but Sam just continued
"And now because of you we're down a win and facing elimination ! look I don't know what's been going on with you but it has to stop NOW !"
"Me ? What's been going on with me ?" Robby defended
"What's been going on is I've been having to lead a team full of people who don't want to win. Ever since we got here I've been putting in the most effort and all we get to show for it is loss after loss after loss and I'm sick of it !"
"THAN WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP ROBBY !" Sam yelled making Robby groan as he placed his hands over his face too much anger boiling within him to even speak as the tension was so damn high
"EVER ! Since we got here you've been distracted by Cobra Kai. Look I know you don't have your ideal team but you still have 4 other teammates out there who need you !" Sam said keeping Robby quiet weather it be the absolute anger on her face or the ferocity in her voice Robby just stayed quiet
"Get your shit together and stand up like a man ! and if you won't then handover your headband to Miguel and let Anthony take your spot because I still wanna win and I'm not gonna let your emotions ruin YOUR opportunity"
Letting her intentions be known Sam had shook her head and turned around leaving the locker room because quite frankly she couldn't stand looking at Robby right now
Her words hit Robby harder than any punch or kick he received out there as he had only sighed once he was left alone in the locker room. Gripping his fist tightly thinking about…..well everything

Stretching his limbs Hawk continued to shake away his negative thoughts keeping his eye on the prize
One more fight, one more win and they'd be to the finals
He wasn't nervous, he was determined. He was prepared. He was so close to victory, so close to everything he and Tory wanted. Them standing on that podium together. It was all right there for the taking and All he needed to do was win one more match
As he continued to stretch preparing for their match his eyes looked around at his team. Yoon and the others took the responsibility of preparing for the fight as well. Yoon was a good guy, Pretty kind, welcomed him and Tory with Open arms
Hawk also found Kreese and Sensei Kim standing around, talking about what gameplan they had or what not. It didn't concern him. Nor did he care.
The one thing that caught his attention as he continued to stretch was the sight he saw of Kwon and Zara
It didn't take a genius to know what happened between them last night. When you see two people come out of a hotel room early in the morning kissing you can already tell what went down.
Hawk carefully watched the way they touched each other, seeing how Zara couldn't stop smiling as she held Kwon's hands. Slightly swaying them back and forth like a schoolgirl in elementary school. What surprised Hawk the most was the small grin on Kwon's face. It actually looked like he enjoyed being around her, it was beyond odd to see Kwon smiling but more so it just made Hawk think was this real ? or was it a trick ?
Hawk watched Zara look back, halting their conversation, someone must've called for her. Probably her Sensei. Zara had just spoken to Kwon and gripped his hands tighter before leaning up to kiss him. His arms soon wrapped around his neck in a sensual way that made Hawk make a face
These two just met and they are already lovey dovey with one another ? hell they could give Sam and Robby a run for their money in the intimacy department
Hawk knew it was wrong to question one's choices, one's relationship especially when it had nothing to do with him. But he just couldn't help himself from thinking about them and not only what it meant for Kwon, But for the team as well

Standing atop the second layer of the arena Robby continued to stretch, practicing his Kata with serious attention to detail
He tried to keep his mind off the elephant in the room within his mind but it didn't help as all he could think about was his fight with Sam
They'd never truly fought before, arguing this bad to any degree. Their relationship has been nothing but positive thoughts and loving support
I guess it was a long time coming as people say that at some point within a relationship you're supposed to disagree but Robby just couldn't help and think that none of this controversy between them had started until Robby bought that ring…..
"Yo, Robby" Miguel said making Robby turn his head to look at him as he Immediately sighed seeing the concerned look on his friends face
"What's going on man, You're fighting with Sam, you're running in blind I've never seen you this unfocused" Miguel asked in worry leaving Robby to quickly shake his head
"You can see what's going on I'm completely screwing it up out there" Robby responded taking complete accountability of the team's loss But Miguel had shook his head
"That's not on you. That was a team loss….Dude what's really going on ? what's happening between you and Sam"
Folding his arms Robby let out a defeated sigh, looking down in defeat before finally being brave and looking up at Miguel
"We're in some stupid fight over honestly nothing, the team went to some bar, Cobra Kai walked in and Sam said she needed some air, I didn't see her all night so I got…..pretty damn drunk"
Miguel didn't say anything but he honestly didn't need to. His eyes spoke for him as he was nothing but concerned for Robby while Robby just sighed palming his face heavily
"And now my mind is filled with all these thoughts, The tournament, the team, Cobra Kai, Silver returning…I'm so convoluted up here…god Miguel what if Sam's cheating on me ?...Miguel you were right, You should've been Captain. A good captain wouldn't let himself get this distracted"
Immediately, IMMEDIATELY Miguel had let out laugh making Robby's face just scrunch at the fact that Miguel wasn't taking him seriously
Ok sure, it was a ridiculous thought to think of but still. All of them were. But It was one nonetheless
"Robby" Miguel grinned smacking his chest lighty to express himself
"You know this story sounds a lot similar to one we're both familiar with" Miguel said making Robby raise a brow
"You know, someone's dating Sam, Guy sees her with someone and guy jumps to conclusions" Miguel trailed immediately making Robby chuckle as he insanity knew what he was talking about
"Guy makes stupid mistake and ends up losing said girl"
"Ok ok ok…..I get it" Robby chuckled relieving Miguel glad that Robby got the point
"Robby, You earned the right to be called Captain" Miguel said as Robby had just looked at him sternly
"You're just in your head right now. I get it. Who wouldn't be ? but the team is hanging on by a thread right now and we need our leader to get us back on track"
"Yeah I know but I'm not it"
"That's more bullshit man !" Miguel defended
"From day one, ever since we got here You've proven why your our leader, You beat Kwon in that competition, You've not only kept us on track but alive in this tournament when everyone's heads were in the cloud" Miguel said listing off just some of the few things Robby's done making his eyes diverge
"And that's not all, Robby you've not only led one but TWO dojos before man. Three if you count Miyagi-Fang, You think everyone looks at me for guidance not man it's YOU !"
Letting out a quiet sigh Robby tried to say something but Miguel cut him off
"You've been Captain way before that headband went across your head man. When Miyagi-Do got all those new students who stepped up and led them all as Mr LaRusso's number one student ?" Miguel asked keeping Robby's doubtful look
"Who led the charge against Silver ? Who got Kenny to Miyagi-Fang ? Who was ready to kick each and every one of our asses just because someone intimidated Kenny as well. ROBBY YOU ARE OUR LEADER !"
Miguel's words couldn't have been more directed and expressive even if he tried and finally for once, Robby's eyes raised so that he could look at Miguel
"You fight for what you believe in and you don't give up so this whole "I'm not a leader" This is…is…."
"Bullshit" Robby said with a grin satisfying Miguel that his speech was getting through
"Yes, So lead us. And we will follow…..I will follow, even though I've been acting like a complete asshole to you before I left it was just…..it wasn't you"
Nodding his head with a small smile Robby understood
"It's ok"
Miguel had swallowed the lump in his throat nodding his head before taking a deep breath as he tried to get the following words out
"Robby your my brother" he admitted shocking Robby as the quick wide eyed expression was shown on his face
"And I love you like one, And I want you to succeed and I want to see you and Sam up there on that podium. So like I said before Lead us like you always do" Miguel said placing a hand on Robby's shoulder
"Like the leader that you are"
Robby hadn't said anything but he didn't need to, to let Miguel know that he understood the message.
But what Robby had done was hug Miguel. Now causing him to visually be shocked with a wide eyed expression
The shocked expression hadn't lasted for long though as Miguel had done nothing more but hugged his brother back
Looking across the balcony Tory saw the scene and it only made her face purse as she had to look away and take a deep breathe
Sadly she wasn't alone
"What's up, my Karate squad ?" Zara smiled at her phone
"All the way to the quarterfinals, and the Queen of Karate is still undefeated" Zara said as Tory had just looked at her in disgust
"All day, I work hard"
Glancing over to Tory Zara just smirked before looking back at her Phone
"But at night, I play even harder" she said turning to look at Tory
"Isn't that right, Nichols ?"
God this girl pissed her off so much
Marching over to Zara Tory had snatched the phone out of her hand shocking the girl as she Immediately tried to grab it but Tory had raised the phone high using her height advantage along with that fact that she stiff armed her away
"It's true" Tory said
"Zara's real secret is she's a two-faced bitch who doesn't give a shit about her Karate sisters unless it's to steal their boyfriends or sleep with their teammates"
"Hey ! Give me that !" Zara said trying to wrestle the phone out of Tory's hands
"ENOUGH !"
Approaching between the two girls Sensei Kim looked Tory dead in her eyes before taking the phone out of Tory's hand so that she could give it to Zara
"Leave" the older woman demanded and Zara didn't think twice before doing so leaving Kim to look at Tory directly
"I am absolutely tired of all this off-the-mat nonsense" Sensei Kim said making Tory quietly sigh
"You need to focus. You're one win away from the finals so if you want to prove me wrong and stand on that stage with your "boyfriend" then get your act together Nichols" Sense Kim said
It wasn't meant to be a speech more of a demand. One Tory understood

Walking across the mat to join the others Kwon hadn't seen Hawk approach him with a scowl
"Hey !" he yelled getting his attention as Immediately Kwon smirked
"Ohh, "Captain" sleep well last night yeah" Kwon said as Hawk approached him with a scowl of his own only fueling Kwon's grin
"I slept like a baby, I guess I understood why you chose to room with Nichols"
Sensei Kim and Tory had walked down the stairs approaching the mat to join the other Cobra Kai's but just like them they started to catch wind of Kwon and Hawk's starting to become very intense conversation
"Really sleeping with the enemy ? That's what we're doing now ?" Hawk said as he and Kwon got into each other's faces intensely glaring at one another
"What I do off the mat is MY business" Kwon argued
"Not if it affects the team. As Captain-"
"Please your only Captain, because Sensei has soft spot for you, I should be one wearing that headband, I'm the better fighter"
"Why is that what Zara told you ? she probably just said that to help her finish, for both your sakes" Hawk smirked dropping Kwon's cocky smile
Immediately Kwon shoved Hawk dropping him to the ground making all the Cobra Kai's eyes go wide in reaction as the team had to split Kwon and Hawk apart right when Hawk got up to his feet
"COME ON "CAPTAIN" ! I KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW ! TAKE THAT HEADBAND RIGHT OFF YOUR HEAD !" Kwon shouted as Yoon and two other Cobra Kai's held him back
"I'M RIGHT HERE MAN ! READY WHEN YOU ARE !" Hawk challenged as Tory and two other Cobra Kai's held him back
Rolling her eyes Sensei Kim had only groaned at more petty off the mat Drama, but the situation had only gotten worse once Kreese walked into the arena and Immediately punched Silver making her groan once again
"Jenjang" (God damn it) she mumbled before breaking off from the team so that she could approach the men right as Gunther did
"Where the hell is it !?" Kreese yelled making Silver laugh
"I have no idea what you're even talking about !"
"Gentlemen !" Gunther said walking in between the two men breaking up their dispute
"The only fighting we allow here is on the mat. Do you want me to suspend you from the tournament ?"
"Our deepest apologies, Mr Braun" Sensei Kim said stepping into the conflict to handle it once and for all
"It will not happen again"
It was a promise but Kim had looked directly Kreese once she said it
"It better not" Gunther stated
"You don't wanna see me angry"
Sensei Kim had only nodded her head before Immediately pushing Kreese away letting out an annoyed growl as she shook her head
"When did I become a babysitter ?"
"This isn't over !" Kreese said pointing at Silver but it just made the man chuckle
"I look forward to next time" Silver responded but Kim had pushed Kreese before he could say anything back
"Go cool off"
Watching the sight of Cobra Kai practically falling apart it made Daniel chuckle
"Look at that. It's working. Better the proposed the kids arguing wasn't even part of the plan"
"I'm surprised you went along with the plan" Johnny grinned much to Barnes and Chozen's agreement
"What would Mr Miyagi Think ?" Barnes said
"Part of defense is redirecting your opponent's momentum"
"Also, dog cage change a man" Chozen added as Daniel tilted his head and chuckled
"Mm-hmm. Maybe that to" Daniel said leaving the four Sensei's to fist bump and walk off
"The next match between Cobra Kai and Tiger Strike will begin in 15 minutes" the announcer stated but Sensei Kim's focus had been on the four Miyagi-Fang Sensei's knowing they were the cause of her team's distraction

TIGER STRIKE VS COBRA KAI
"Fighters Ready FIGHT !"
Attempting a low sweep into a spin kick Yoon had missed his attack ending in him receiving a jumping back kick to the face by Vlad knocking him back
"Point !" the ref said making the Tiger Strike Sensei's cheer while Kreese just shook his head
"Yoon, Tag Hawk" Kreese ordered Making Yoon look at him in hesitation before he blocked two of Vlad's kicks moving around the mat
"Bad idea" Kim disagreed
"Your Boy is too amped his aggression will cause him to get blinded"
Both Kreese and Kim looked at Hawk seeing the eager glare on his face as he bounced in his place ready to get tagged in like a cat ready to pounce
His eagerness only proved Kreese the more reason why the should tag him
"Maybe we need a little aggression" Kreese said making Kim roll her eyes
"Yoon. tag him !"
Rolling under Vlad's kick Yoon had Immediately sprinted to Hawk with his hand out
"Hawk" Yoon said before tagging him in and patting him on his back for encouragement
Hawk didn't waste any time as he Immediately jumped into the fight giving Vlad a flying kick that he blocked making him smirk
"glupyy mal'chik s ryzhimi volosami" (Stupid boy with red hair) Vlad smirked as they both got into their fighting positions
"Privykayte k tsvetu, eto vse, chto vy uvidite cherez minutu" (Get used to the color, that's all you'll see in a minute)
He was a nerd remember
Changing Vlad's facial expression into a similar growl Vlad Immediately struck leaving Hawk to block being put on the defensive
Blocking Vlad's high punch to low one, Hawk used his knee to block his kick before twisting into a spin kick barley missing
Grabbing Vlad's arm Hawk Immediately kneed him in the gut and smashed his elbow into Vlad's arm but he couldn't continue his assault as Vlad had pushed Hawk away and done a one handed backsping causing them to split apart again
"Влад! Уничтожь его!" (Vlad destroy him) the Russian Sensei yelled as Vlad jumped into a punch leaving Hawk to block
Throwing a swing into a plethora of strikes Vlad blocked each of them before kicking Hawk's lower leg and grabbing his arm so that he could slam him face first into the mat keeping him in a arm hold making Hawk groan
"Hawk, get out of there !" Kreese yelled as Hawk tried to move but with no budge making Vlad smirk
"YA slomayu tebe ruku, posmotrim, kak ty otreagiruyesh', a" (I'll break your arm, let's see how you react, eh) Vlad said twisting on Hawk's arm making him groan again as he continued to stay pinned on the ground
"ELI !" Tory shouted getting his attention as he'd seen her reach her hand out ready to be tagged
Turning his head to see the Miyagi-Fang team they all were watching the fight, and they all shared the same concerned looks on their faces making him groan in anger
Looking back at his situation, Hawk figured he had enough room so he quickly pressed his other hand onto the mat so that he could flip onto his back dragging Vlad by his Gi bringing him with him
Hawk Immediately headbutted his opponent making Vlad groan and split out blood before striking a punch to his chest
"POINT ! POINT ! 2-1 !" the Ref stated before Hawk broke off and tagged Tory in but she didn't Immediately get in the match
"Hey, are you ok ?" Tory asked quickly concerned on her Boyfriend's mental also with physical as he didn't look so good
His fallen Red and Black hair was wild and he had that crazed look was in his eyes and he was lightly bleeding from the lip due to the headbutt, along with the fact that he was all heavy breathed not to mention the fact that he was just in an armlock about to get his arm snapped
Throwing that all aside Hawk simply nodded his head disregarding all her valid and concerned worries
"Yeah yeah whatever I'm fine don't worry about me ! I got us 2 points go finish the fight" Hawk stated not caring about himself only worrying Tory more
Tory wanted to say something else but Vlad had tagged in the female Captain and she didn't hesitate to jump kick Tory making Tory instinctively block bringing her to the center of the mat
Glancing over at Hawk Tory tried to shake off her lingering doubts focusing on the fight at hand
Both Tory and the female Captain pounced in their fighting positions before Tory struck first throwing a jab that was blocked into another that was blocked making Tory spin around as she tried to throw a back kick that her opponent kicked away
The Female Captain threw a hook swing Tory had dodged leaving Tory to respond with a high kick the woman ducked under and right when Tory tried to punch again the female Captain blocked her arm and punched her in the chest making Tory groan as she fell backwards a little
"POINT ! TIGER STRIKE ! 2-2 !"
"Maybe your fighter needs to pay attention !" the Female Sensei for the Russian team told Kreese and Kim leaving the two Russian Sensei to just laugh while the Cobra Kai Sensei's had only pursed their lips not having anything to say
Hawk himself also shook his head letting out a small groan at Tory's loss as he turned his head to Kwon who clicked his tongue in annoyance at him
The Female Fighter hadn't stopped as she kept a grasp on Tory's arm and maneuvered under her so that she could swing Tory to the ground making her drop to the mat
Maneuvering herself above Tory, the female fighter kept her pinned to the ground leaving Hawk to shake his head
"And you were worried about me being distracted" Kwon said to Hawk with a snort making Hawk shoot his own growl at him before looking back at the match
"Get out of there Tory !" Hawk yelled watching as Tory huffed her breathe before snaking free of the girls grasp with a roll getting to her feet
"Nichols, Focus !" Sensei Kim shouted while Tory and the Female Captain got into their fighting positions within the center of the mat once more
"Your heart's not in this. Is it ?" The girl said pouncing at Tory but Tory had only looked at Hawk's concerned look giving her opponent the chance she needed to kick Tory leaving the blonde to Immediately block just to receive an elbow to the face
"POINT !" the ref said but the female Captain had Immediately picked up Tory and slammed her on the mat
"TIGER STRIKE, WINNER !" the ref announced making the Cobra Kai's groan in defeat while the Tiger Strike team had cheered at the needing victory
"YEAH !"
"Tiger strike stays alive with their first win, while Cobra Kai drops to 1-1 another loss and Cobra Kai's out"
Immediately rushing over to Tory Yoon helped her up
"Tory are you alright-"
"I'm fine ! Yoon I'm fine !" Tory said pushing him away so that she could get up herself and walk away
Walking off the mat Hawk tried to say something to her but she just pushed passed him making Hawk sigh
So close….they were so close to victory
The Tiger Strike team had celebrated their win leaving Kreese and Kim to just sigh and shake their heads now knowing they faced elimination

Standing alone in the arena Kenny continued to practice his jabs and strikes as their match was next him
It was win or go home time and by the way Robby and Sam acted in their last match Kenny knew he had to stay ready
But still it didn't calm his nerves…..he wanted to win so bad. He had such high aspirations and goals on this trip and so far he was living them down. There was so much he wanted to do while he was here in Barcelona: view the city, meet some new people, buy some things for Shawn…..Tell Devon how he felt in one of the most exotic places ever. But now he was worried that he wouldn't get that chance if they lost
"Always hard at work" someone said making Kenny turn his head to Immediately find Devon approaching him
Immediately Kenny's heart dropped once he saw her just added on the list of things that worried him but by the look on her face he could tell she was just as nervous
"Just trying to satisfy my nerves that's all" Kenny stated making Devon nod her head and smile
"You got butterflies too huh"
"Fluttering all around" Kenny responded now making her smile
Kenny did have to admit having Devon here calmed him a lot more. It brought some type of reassurance to him that he didn't have alone and it only made himself think back on his conversation he had with Robby at the bar
"If this was our last night here, and we would have to pack up and call it quits tomorrow, how would you want to spend it ? sitting here with me talking about what we want ? or striking first and getting exactly what you want"
Be a Eagle-Fang, strike first
No regrets
"Devon I like-"
Kenny didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence because Devon had suddenly kissed him
The move was found as a pure surprise to Kenny as his eyes went wide within their kiss, he was so surprised by it that he didn't even get the time to enjoy it because Devon had pulled back quicker than the kiss even lasted
Immediately a face of regret was put on Devon's face as she saw Kenny's confused and shocked expression and she immediately found herself explaining her actions
"Ohmygod ! KennyI'msosorryIthoughtyoulikedmebecasueIreallyreallyreallyreallylikeyouandIthoughtyouweregonnasayIlikeyouDevonandourmatchisreallymakingmenervousandifweloseIwantedto-"
Immediately Kissing Devon back shutting her up completely Kenny had his chance to enjoy this kiss this time as Devon had simply melted in his grasp, forming a smile within their shared intimacy
Pulling back to look at her soft grin Kenny did nothing more but smile at her before chuckling
"I uhh….I feel the same way" Kenny said making Devon laugh as they suddenly looked into each other's eyes with deep fondness for each other happy and relieved that they both felt the same way
Kenny and Devon were about to kiss again, they face ready mix together in a lustful kiss that spoke every word they needed but a sudden voice had only stopped them getting their attention
"Mr Payne and Ms Lee" Silver said with his all so well know Grin quickly dropping their smiles as they were replaced with glares
Kenny and Devon had let go of one another, Devon just letting out a small sigh seeing the man before them
"Glad to see that you both made it on your team"
"Yeah I don't feel like doing this right now" Devon said before looking at Kenny seeing the fact that they were holding hands
"I'll….see out there" Devon said and Kenny nodded his head before soon enough they let go hurting Kenny a little as he watched Devon walk away leaving him and Silver alone
"I'd like to personally welcome you to your rightful place at the Sekai Taikai" Silver grinned at Kenny's glare but his girn had only dropped once he turned to look at the Miyagi-Fangs
"Too bad your new dojo doesn't feel the same. More importantly your Captains who have been doing nothing but kicking you while you were down this entire tournament not seeing the true potential I saw in you"
Silver's words and manipulative tone only made Kenny ball up his fist before dropping his head
"You know, With the loopholes in the roster system, I'd make a spot for you on my team in a heartbeat-"
"No" Kenny Immediately said shutting Silver down not needing to say more to explain his actions but Silver wanted answers, He wanted an explanation
"Why ?"
"What have they done for you ? hmm ?" Silver asked only making Kenny think as the diverging eyes and subtly head drop made Silver chuckle
"Did you come here to win ?"
"What ?
"My team is undefeated" SIlver explained
"You'd have a much better chance if you were actually on a winning team"
Silver's explanation had changed Kenny's facial structure only leaving Kenny's speechless and stammering
"It's up to you young man" Silver said before walking away leaving Kenny to just think as he looked at the team Standings seeing Iron Dragons at number 1
.

"So we need to win this one to stay in the tournament" Daniel said
The Miyagi-Fang team was up next and this was their make it or break it match, It's do or die time and this was their game plan speech
"We know it's hard with Silver here, but we are not fighting his team right now"
"And we've heard all this crap and garbage going around about loyalty" Johnny said
"But almost all of us trained somewhere else at some point, But what matters is where our asses are now. We're Miyagi-Fang. You got it ?"
Daniel and Johnny's speech left everyone with confident smiles and head nods as Miguel had clapped his hands
"Come on y'all let's go !"
"Wait wait wait" Robby said keeping the huddle alive
Licking his lips in deep thought Robby had turned his head to Sam. a frown still on her face due to their conversation beforehand but it only convinced Robby that this needed to be said
He loved her too much to keep this unnecessary feud between them alive
"I know I haven't been the best leader" Robby began, making Sam's face soften while Miguel had just smiled
Looking at his team, HIS Team Robby spoke
"I've blamed you all for my mistakes and I'm sorry for that, The Leader I was before…If you can even call me that. It's not the Leader I'm gonna be now. You all deserve better than that and I'm sorry if I've made you feel like less" he said simply making Kenny, Demetri and Devon smile while Robby smiled back nodding his head
"We go out there whether we win or lose. I want you all to know I'm glad we shared this journey together. I'm glad to have had this experience with you all"
His atonement and taking of accountable made the one person he prayed would smile as Robby had turned to look back at Sam who was supporting her own grin at him leaving reassurance within him
"Wise words from the Team Captain" Daniel said leaving Robby's smile as the message touched everyone Students and Sensei's alike
"NOW LET'S GO WIN THIS THING !" Robby yelled, leaving everyone to yell "YEAH !" before him as they took the mat
MIYAGI-DO VS REDENTORES
Standing in his fighting position Miguel took a deep breath as his opponent made a prayer before turning to him. His fighting position insisted in him staying low as he swayed back and forth leaving Miguel's stern expression on his face
"FIGHT !" the ref announced and Immediately Miguel threw a kick that was blocked
Following up with a two jabs that were blocked Miguel's opponent moved his arm trying to strike back but Miguel had only blocked him trying to strike again
The man had quickly Kicked Miguel's leg dropping him to a knee and followed up by dropping to the ground and catching himself with his hands striking with his leg but Miguel had quickly blocked and jumped to his feet so that he could grab at the man
Giving his opponent a knee to the gut the man dropped behind Miguel blocking Miguel's attempted elbow leaving Miguel to spin around so that they could both block each other leading them to then kick each other making them break apart
Letting out an enraged roar Miguel's opponent displayed his Kata before twist flipping leaving Miguel to dodge and roll away
Following Miguel the man continued to flip after him and Miguel continued to duck and dodge huffing his breathe as he pounced on the mat
Looking at Robby who just nodded his head Miguel had took a deep breathe before straight at his opponent Immediately sliding under his kick so that when he got to the other end he locked hand with Robby
But that duo hadn't let go as Immediately Miguel had swung Robby into the ring leaving Robby to do a back kick striking the man directly in the chest dropping him to the mat
"POINT !" the ref said making the Miyagi-Fang's cheer clapping at Miguel and Robby's performance
"HELL YEAH !" Barnes said as he and Chozen high fived
Rolling to his end of the ring the opponent had tagged in the team's male Captain leaving Roby to pounce on his toes within his fighting position
Dodging the Captain's high kick into a doubled twist kick Robby struck a kick before raising his leg to dodged his low sweep
Slapping away both his attempted jabs Robby tried to punch but the Captain blocked before Robby quickly dodged his swing creating space between them
Letting out a heavy breath Robby had seen the look on Kenny's face. His arms behind his back, Something was troubling him his posture confirmed it
He wanted to prove something, probably himself
And a good leader uplifts his teammates
This was a team event. He knew what Kenny was capable of, Time to prove it
Both Robby and the Captain had pounced on their toes before Robby ducked down sliding into a sweep kick that the Captain Immediately flipped over but Robby didn't think anything of it because he Immediately turned around and tagged in Kenny surprising the young boy
Sam herself was surprised as she was lined up next to Kenny
"Wha ? Robby ?" Kenny began but Robby just shook his head
"You got this" Robby said confidently believing in Kenny
"Show them what Kenny Payne can do" Robby said leaving Kennt to lick lips with hesitation. But that soon had went away as Kenny nodded his head growing a serious expression as he stepped on the mat weaving into his fighting position trading places with Robby
"Come on Kenny ! You got This !" Robby supported from the sidelines
With her hands behind her pack Sam had clapped her hands in support as well but it was very clear both Sam and Robby wanted to look at each other
"Good call….Captain" Sam said making Robby smile
"Let's go Kenny !" Sam said clapping her hands once more
Fake pouncing back and forth on the mat against his opponent Kenny had continued to size up the Male Captain showing no fear and hesitation
On the outside
On the inside it was different because Silver's words had rung through his head like a song he couldn't get out
"What have they done for you ?"
Kenny had only looked at Robby and Sam seeing them support him from the sidelines before looking at his Sensei's and Anthony who showed equal motivation for him as even Anthony gave him a thumbs up
"Did you come here to win ?"
Clenching his fist Kenny turned to Devon who pursed her lips and nodded her head
What had they done for him ? Even if they won this match, who said they'd win the others ?
Thinking back on everything that happened to him. Getting Bullied by Anthony, Getting taught by Robby, The All Valley, Fighting against Miyagi-Fang when he was in Cobra Kai, Robby, Hawk, Miguel, Tory and Sam recruiting him to Miyagi-Fang, Him and Anthony finally making peace as they hugged his first day at Miyagi-Fang. Kenny's fist had only clenched more
He knew what side he chose
"AIS !" Kenny yelled blocking the Captain's kick before striking a punch that was blocked
Going back and forth Kenny stood strong going jab for jab that was blocked
Throwing a punch that the Captain had dodged Kenny followed up with a high spin kick making the Captain duck down but Kenny had only followed with a uppercut that the Captain dodged
Continuing to stand strong going blow for blow Kenny blocked the Captains kick and Immediately ducked down under his Jumping Axe kick so that he could jump up and spin striking a hard and heavy punch dropping the Captain straight to the ground
"POINT !" the ref said as Kenny followed up dropping to the ground in a roll
"MIYAGI-FANG, TWO !"
Immediately sprouting to his feet Kenny followed up his attack with a uppercut to the face launching the Captain in the air to the mat
"ANOTHER POINT ! MIYAGI-FANG WINS !"
"YESS !" Robby and Sam cheered before Immediately hugging each other as the reaction and feeling was very mutual throughout the entire time
"Holy shit !" Anthony cheered high fiving Johnny and Barnes while Daniel and Chozen had hugged in victory
"That's badass !"
"You see why I picked him ! huh ! you see !" Barnes said wrapping an arm around Johnny making him laugh
The Miyagi-Fang team stormed the mat Immediately surrounding Kenny with pats on the back and celebration while Robby and Miguel had just lifted him high up in the air
"With the win, Miyagi-Fang moves up to 1-1. If they win their next match, they advance to the tournament of champions"
Looking directly at Silver looking at no one but him Kenny had cranked an invisible box revealing a middle finger just for him
But Silver hadn't taken it harshly only laughing at the young boy watching him drop down and celebrate with his team over their victory
Letting Kenny down Robby and Miguel had aggressively dabbed each other up too filled with adrenaline to stop smiling
"That's what I'm talking about, Captain ! way to lead us" Miguel said leaving Robby to chuckle happily and shake his head
Turning around finding Daniel behind him Robby had only seen his beyond proud smile knowing he was beyond proud of him
They didn't need to share any words. Their facial expression said enough. All they had to do was bow at one another leavening Daniel to smile at his team
But that smile had sadly faded once he turned his head and saw Silver Long haired goon hand Silver a paper only interesting him on what it could've been
But Daniel couldn't waste time thinking about that now, the team was too happy and they had a job to do
Clapping his hands once more Chozen happily sighed to thrilled by the win to see Sensei Kim approach him until she started speaking words to him
"I know it was you who stole Kreese's eunjangdo" she said leaving Chozen to only squint his eyes while he stepped down from the mat seeing her fold her arms intently
"Put it back"
"You confused me for thief" he said making Kim scoff
"Don't you know what you've done ? Kreese is like dynamite waiting to explode. And that blast can easily be directed your way"
"Is that a threat ?" Chozen asked
"It's a warning" Kim confirmed
"I'd hate for you to make another…..mistake"
Chozen knew exactly what she meant by "mistake" and it only made his eyes squint tighter
"After the break, our final round. First match, Miyagi-Fang versus Cobra Kai" The announcer said Immediately tensing Chozen and Kim
"I would hurry" Kim warned
"You don't have much time" she said before walking off fully leaving Chozen to just look at her with a glare heeding her warning

"Miyagi-Fang Vs Cobra Kai"
It was the only thing that rung through everyone's heads in the Locker room
The nerves were real, beyond real as everyone show cased some form of nervousness
Kenny couldn't stop tapping his feet in anticipation, Devon couldn't stop biting her nails
Hell Anthony wasn't even fighting but he had butterflies racing within his stomach right now, He'd probably have to puke
The room was completely silent, no one wanted to say a word…..Hell everyone was probably too scared to address the elephant in the room. The match that was about to happen, the winner takes all, the fight to end all fights etc etc…..etc
Robby turned his head to look at Sam and even she had a doubtful look on her face and Robby knew something had to be said
Taking Sam's hand getting her attention Robby sighed
"Come on guys" he said finally breaking the silence with a small smile
"We beat Cobra Kai before we can do it again" he said reassuringly
The room was still quiet but this time Miguel nodded his head
"One more time…." he said completely breaking the silence as a whole as he looked at the team before Robby and Sam
"Let's send our captains into the finals"
Nodding her head tears started to form in Sam's eyes as she gripped Robby's hand tighter thinking on Miguel's words
"One last time" she said looking at everyone's face as they followed the same emotional expression she did
"Win or lose…this is the last time we'll ever fight together as a team"
Sam's words hit everyone's heart, it pierced right through their chest, those words…..it was deeper than they thought
Miguel's tears didn't hide and quite frankly he didn't try to hide them, only sniffling trying to keep them at bay
"Damn" his voice cracked rooted with emotion
"Damn. I guess I never thought about it like that…..after everything we've been through, this is…..uh….."
Miguel chuckled cryingly letting his very similar emotions out
"This is it"
Everyone just looked at one another, completely and desperately at a loss for words because they were scared that this would be their last shared with one another
"So uhh" Demetri sniffled trying to fight his tears while everyone had smiled
"Anyone got any last words" he said making the team chuckle
Looking down at their jointed hands Robby and Sam looked at one another with nothing but love in their eyes for the person they were seeing as they even started to cry looking at one another
"I love you so much" Sam admitted and Robby had just cried while he nodded his head
"I love you too…I love you so much"
With tears in their eyes the two had kissed, right there in front of everyone leaving the team to just smile. Happy that their Captains were going in this thing focused and ready, but not just that they were happy Robby and Sam knew there was no one else for each other but them as Miguel had nodded his head and smiled at the too while crying with shaking breathe
The love had only continued as Kenny and Devon had kissed but their moment shocked everyone making their jaws drop to the floor and it didn't register for Kenny and Devon that no one knew about them
Well….until now
Pulling away to look at everyone's jaw dropped but grinning expressions Devon had simply chuckled and nodded her head
"Yeah uhh….this is a thing now" she said raising their joined hands up making the team laugh out loud
Miguel and Demetri had Immediately stood up and hugged, Miguel holding Demetri tightly letting him cry into his arms as Demetri full on started to sob uncontrollably
"I miss Eli so much" Demetri admitted and Miguel had nodded his head letting his tears fall from his face understanding his pain
"I know man I…..I know"
Hugging Miguel harder Demetri had sniffled his nose letting all his emotions there on the ground for everyone to see
"Letting you sit at our table was the best decision I've ever made Miguel" Demetri admitted making Miguel smile as the two reeled back to look at one another
"You completely changed my life and I'm sure Eli would've said the same if he was here"
Nodding his head with tears in his eyes Miguel just wiped his eyes too much emotion within his voice to say anything but Demetri had understood everything
"Come here Mr Cool guy" Kenny said Immediately grabbing Anthony so that he could pull him into his and Devon's hug making Anthony chuckle along with the rest of the team watching
"Turns out me uhh…running you into a dumpster was good after all huh" Anthony said making Kenny laugh
"Yeah just as good as me giving you a swirly in shit water" Kenny shot back making Anthony laugh as Devon had hugged the two of them holding her now boyfriend and bestfriend close as can be
"Alright that's enough" Devon said cringy as she wiped her tears, an attempt to stop them but with no prevail
"There's not crying in Karate" she said making everyone in the room laugh
Miguel had looked around at everyone
Robby and Sam arm and arm as they rested their heads on each other
Anthony, Devon and Kenny in their group hug
And Him and Demetri arms around one another
"We're a family" he told everyone looking at their smiles
"All of us"
Nodding their heads Miguel's finals words only left Robby thinking before soon enough he grew a small smile as he and Sam stood up joining the others
"Who are we ?" Robby asked Immediately making the team laugh and smile
"Miyagi-Fang"
"I said who are we" Robby repeated louder increating their volume
"Miyagi-Fang"
"Who are we !"
"Miyagi-Fang !"
"I SAID WHO ARE WE !"
"MIYAGI-FANG !"
"You know" Daniel said walking into the room with Johnny overhearing their final speech together
"We did have one real doozy of an inspirational speech planned" Daniel and Johnny grinned as the others had smiled back at them
"But it looks like you guys beat us to it"
"Well our Sensei's taught us well" Sam smiled as she hugged Her Fathers tightly
"All right all right" Johnny said fighting his own set of tears
"Enough of this kumbaya crap. It's time to get out there and kick some Cobra Kai ass !"
"YEAHHH !"

Sitting in the locker room the feeling of team Cobra Kai was all the same
No one rendered to say anything
No even dared to practically breathe
Looking around the room seeing everyone's glum faces Hawk wondered if they did this to ready for the match or did this because they were trained too
Looking down at his headband Hawk let out a sigh
It just made him think, nothing more but think
He got his chance
He's Captain, may it not be for the team he intended to be on he is Captain
Turning his head he looked at Tory who had the same expression as he did
She was lost
Confused
Angry ?
It only made him think about what the others were doing
This would be their final fight together
And of course it was against each other, not with each other
The realisation hit Hawk heavy, harder than it should've but equally just as devastating
This is their last fight together
How would he have wanted it to end
Throwing all caution to the wind getting all the Cobra Kai's attention Hawk stood up
Kwon had looked up, standing at his locker with his arms folded his eyes squinted just wondering what the oh so great Captain had to say now
But the funny thing is…..he didn't
He didn't say anything
Hawk had just walked over to Tory and gotten on one knee confusing her
"Eli what are you doing ?" she asked sternly but Hawk had just looked at her more and grew a small smile making her more confused
"Remember when we first got together" he said making Tory raise an eyebrow
"I was so scared" he admitted
"I thought you were still in love with Miguel so I was hesitant to make a move, it wasn't until you told me at Coyote Creek that you guys broke up that I gained the confidence to kiss you"
"You didn't" Tory said with a smile making Eli laugh as he Immediately started to tear up making her tear up
"i seutolitaim-eun mueos-ingayo? What are you two doing" (what is this story time ?) Kwon said but Yoon had put a finger up to shush him as he and the other Cobra Kai's just smiled at Hawk and Tory reminiscing
"It sure did take us a while to get our first kiss huh" Eli said making Tory cryingly nod her head
"Yeah…..yeah it did" she said practically bursting into tears as Immediately Tory cuffed his face and kissed him both of them poured their tears into the kiss not wanting to let go
The other Cobra Kai's had watched teary eyed at the two while Kwon just looked around in disbelief that his teammates were eating this up
Pulling back to face one another with love and tears in their eyes Eli and Tory smiled at each other
"I love you so much" Tory said leaving Eli to smile as he laced his hand with hers showing off their King and Queen Cobra tattoo that they never got rid of
"I love you too…..so goddamn much…."
Looking back at the other Cobra Kai's who were teary eyed as well besides Kwon Eli took a deep breathe
Standing back up to his feet he rubbed his hands together before speaking
"I know me becoming Captain was the last thing any of you expected" He began while Kwon just scoffed
"You don't know me, You probably think you're better than me, you probably know 10 more people more deserving of it than me….."
looking down at the Captains headband Hawk sighed
"Truth be told your right…I'm not a Captain"
Rolling his eyes Kwon didn't see Hawk walked to him until Eli had approached him making his eyebrow raise while his arms were still folded
Looking Kwon up and down the Korean teen was Immediately prepared for whatever insult or argument Hawk was about to make
"I'm sorry" he said shocking Kwon
Both visibly and emotionally as a tear had Immediately went down Kwon's face as he kept his stern facial expression and even when Kwon tightened his jaw it still didn't stop the emotion from coming out no matter how much he wanted to fight it
"I took the chance of you becoming Captain unfairly. Some random American comes and strips you of a title you probably deserved wasn't right and I'm sorry for it"
Still fighting back his tear Kwon kept a straight face while Hawk just sniffled
"But Kwon, I'm here. Right now asking you that if you help me win this match, Help me defeat My friends I will give you your fight" Eli said sticking his hand out
"You and me, Fight for the Captain title"
His proposition left everyone on edge. No one had dared talk to Kwon the way Hawk's been talking to him. More so they've never seen Kwon cry before even if it was just one tear
Visibly swallowing the lump in his throat Kwon stuck his hand out accepting Hawk's gesture as he had gradually grown a small grin
"Let do it….Hawk" Kwon said making Eli grin happy that some peace has been made before this final fight
With emotions at its highest, and the team better than every Yoon had looked around and smiled
"Cobra Kai" he said making everyone look at him
"Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai" he said in a small chant making the others tearingly laugh as even Tory had sniffled wiping the tears from her face
Yoon's chant had caught the attention it needed as soon enough the other Cobra's were with him
"Cobra Kai ! Cobra Kai ! Cobra Kai ! Cobra Kai !"
Walking up to Hawk, Tory had grabbed his headband getting his attention so that she could place it around his head right where it belonged before she had done the same with hers
Looking at his two Captains Kwon had snorted rolling his eyes with a smirk before he spoke
"Cobra Kai ! Cobra Kai ! Cobra Kai !"
The chant had only gotten louder and louder as soon enough now Tory and Hawk joined leaving all 6 of them to stand around chanting the name of their team in Victory
Peering their heads through the door Kreese and Kim had seen it all and Kim just turned to look at Kreese's smirk an all so confident face
"Like I said, They will fall in line" he said before chuckling

"Because Both Miyagi-Fang and Cobra Kai are one and one whoever wins this match advances" the announcer said as Team Cobra Kai already stood tall and in line waiting for their opponents
"And whoever loses is eliminated"
Walking into the arena The Miyagi-Fang team lined up seeing their competition right there waiting for them
"Defeat does not exist in this dojo" Kreese said making Hawk, Tory and Kwon look at him
"Does it ?"
With smirks the trio shook their heads
"No, Sensei" they said in unison satisfying Kreese
"Good"
Turning to Kim, Kreese nodded his head leaving Kim to fold her arms prepared for what is about to go down
"Nichols, Moskowitz" Sensei Kim said getting the two Captains Attention
"They are not your friends, they are the enemy. So use all your pain all your hatred all your resentment you have towards them and interject it into this fight, because this determines if you are worthy, to be called Champions"
Hawk and Tory had looked at one another, both turning their heads to look at the Miyagi-Fang team. And behind those prepared glares and strong faces stood their friends begging that they'd take of those headbands and join their team again
More specifically they looked at Robby and Sam who looked right back at them
Memories flashing of every conflict, every argument, every fight they had that led them to this one last moment
One last battle
"One last fight" Robby, Sam, Hawk and Tory mumbled under this breaths
"All right. Remember, trust, tag, teamwork" Daniel told his team as they all stood in a circle around one another and Johnny nodded his head in agreement
"You all got this. Who's in first ?"
All eyes were directed to Robby as everyone gave him confident looks to lead him them to the promiseland and Robby had only nodded his head
Walking on the mat Robby took his place watching as Hawk had followed, the two looking at each other with tight growls as they knew it'd come down to this
"Don't worry this fight won't last long" Hawk said getting into his fighting position
"Why" Robby replied getting into his
"Leaving early to fix that stupid haircut"
The two had only smirked at their comment as the ref came between them
"Ready ?" The ref said as all sides looked at one another
Here we go
One last fight
"FIGHT !"
Both Robby and Hawk stuck first hooking their fist together locking themselves in place
Hawk threw a punch and Immediately Robby caught his fist continuing to keep them locked together as the gritted their teeth at one another
Throwing kicks as they blocked their legs trying to find some foreground with one another it only ended in Robby being the one that broke them free and when Hawk threw another Jab, Robby grabbed his arm flipping him
But Eli had Immediately caught himself kicking backwards striking Robby in his leg making him drop to one knee before Eli Immediately spun around trying to kick Robby in the face but he had quickly blocked flinging himself to the mat
"Robby tag me in" Sam said reaching her hand out and Immediately Robby tagged her trading spots with her while Hawk backed up
"Come on Sam !" Daniel said clapping his hands in support
"That's cute" Kwon said getting Robby's attention
"Hope you know, nothing bad happens to her" Kwon said making Robby's fist scrunch
Throwing a jab at Hawk the boy had blocked grabbing Sam's arm but she only moved it around before swinging leaving him to dodged as well
Breaking free from her Hawk Immediately jumped over her sweep doing a twist flip so that he could get himself on the other side of the mat where he Immediately tagged in Tory
Immediately pushing Sam the two girls glared at one another standing in their fighting positions as Sam had gotten into her serpent stance
Going for a low kick Tory had Immediately faked out kicking Sam in the sides where she blocked causing the two girls to go back and forth as Tory threw a jab Sam blocked before Sam threw a high kick Tory blocked under
Tory had Thrown a Kick Immediately catching Sam's attempted Jab but Sam had had also caught Tory's leg flipping her to the ground as she landed on her back
But before Tory could even do anything Kwon smacked her hand tagging himself in as Tory had taken his spot
Kwon let out a chuckle looking at Robby as he stepped onto the mat and it only caused him to worry for Sam's safety as he watched their fight
"Does Lover boy enough about Axel ?" Kwon said making Sam's eyes go wide as she just looked at Robby who held a confused face
"Axel ? who's Axel" Robby said making Kwon laugh
"Ohhhh he didn't know ? tsk tsk tsk, Hope I didn't ruin anything" Kwon teased Making Sam angrily purse her lips as she rushed to Kwon throwing a series of jabs that he effortlessly dodged
Blocking Sam's kick, Kwon Immedailty ducked under her other one, pushing away her punch before responding with his own side kick that put Sam on the defensive
"Focus up LaRusso !" Johnny yelled seeing as Sam was Immediately defending against all of Kwon's attacks
Throwing a high kick into a spin kick making Sam back up completely Kwon shot out a side kick hitting Sam directly in the gut right when she tried to attack
"POINT ! Cobra Kai 1-0 !" the ref said making Sam groan painfully as she tagged in Miguel
"Let's Go Pendejo !" Miguel said challenging Kwon but Kwon had only smirked letting out a fake Yawn
"Your not worth the time sutangnagwi" Kwon said sticking up both middle fingers to Miguel and Sam before tagging in one of the Cobra Kai's leaving Miguel to Immediately block and strike going back and forth with his opponent
Doding his opponents attempted punch, Miguel grabbed his arm blocking his jab and letting go so that he could dodged his jumping spin kick and when he Immediately touched the ground Miguel hit him with a jumping front kick dropping him to the mat hard and heavy
"POINT ! MIYAGI-FANG 1-1 !" the ref said making the Sensei's and Anthony cheer while the Cobra Kai had Immediately reached his foot out to Tag in Yoon leaving Yoon to jump over him in a roll taking the mat
Dropping back Miguel tagged in Demetri
"You got this man go get him" Miguel encouraged patting Demetri on his back
Immediately throwing a kick that Yoon blocked, Yoon blocked Demetri's second side kick before ducking under his roundhouse so that he could reply with two kicks to Demetri's sides making him fall back as Yoon laughed
Biting his lips in thought Anthony already knew this wasn't good
"Demetri's seriously undermatched here" he mumbled seeing Yoon playfully slap around Demetri's arm and fake pounce at him before laughing
"KENNY ! DEVON !" Anthony yelled getting their attention
"HOT POTATO !"
The dup Immediately understood what he meant but Daniel, Chozen, Johnny and Barnes were left confused
"Hot potato ? what the hell does that mean ?" Barnes asked but Anthony just waved him off
"You'll see"
"Come on !" Demetri challenged as Yoon blocked his jab striking one that Demetri blocked leaving them to go back and forth two more times
"Demetri ! tag me in !" Kenny said Yoon used his elbow to block Demetri giving him the chance he needed to move away and head towards Kenny
Immediately back kicking Yoon keeping him separated Demetri tagged in Kenny
Jumping into the match, Literally Kenny struck a flying knee that Yoon blocked
The two started to trade blow after blow as Kenny struck a punch Yoon blocked before Kenny blocked Yoon's kick leading Kenny to respond with a kick of his own that Yoon blocked with his leg
Doing a spin kick that Kenny blocked, Yoon understood that Kenny was faster than Demetri having to keep up back and forth
"ALRIGHT NOW KENNY ! TAG IN DEVON !" Anthony shouted and Kenny threw two more punches Keeping Yoon on the defensive before breaking off so that he could run in tag in Devon
Yoon tried to run up and kick Kenny but Devon was right there blocking Yoon's kick as she kicked herself
Yoon struck an attempted spin kick that Devon Immediately dodged and she continued to keep him kicking just dodging his attack before rolling under his kick
"DEVON TAG IN DEMETRI !" Anthony shouted and Devon did just that tagging in the Taller nerd as Demetri had Immediately went for a low sweep making Yoon raise his leg in a dodge
"GUYS HE'S SLOWING DOWN ! DON'T LET HIM TAG OUT !" Anthony coached as Demetri had dodged his front kick before kicking away his hand trying to tag in one of the Cobra Kai's
Blocking Yoon's kick with his own leg Demetri swung leaving Yoon to dodge bringing him back to the center of the mat
"OK NOW TAG DEVON BACK IN !" Anthony said as Demetri did just that leaving Yoon dazed
"ANTHONY YOU'RE A GENIUS !" Johnny said hugging the younger boy making him chuckle while Daniel couldn't have been more proud of his son
"Ohhh, hot potato" Barnes and Chozen said understanding his tactic
Throwing a kick that Yoon blocked heavily breathing due to him getting gassed Hawk desperately stuck his hand out trying to get Yoon to tag him in but their play was too good as it just kept him boxed
Throwing a side kick keeping Yoon dazed Devon tagged in Kenny flinging him to Yoon where Kenny started striking going back in forth punch to elbow keeping Yoon on the defensive before throwing a heavy swing that he ducked under
"Yo guys we got him he's out of gas !" Kenny confirmed
"Holy shit, that's badass" Johnny said
Keeping Yoon confused as he twirled around not knowing where to defend Kenny Immediately came into his vision throwing a superman punch that Yoon barely dodged leaving Kenny to tag in Demetri
Seeing one of his teammates trying to tag in Yoon reached his hand out but Demetri Immediately kicked it away keeping their fight alive as Kreese and Kim's face dropped in a headshake
Grabbing Yoon's arm maneuvering it away, Demetri blocked his other and grabbed it leading him to jump up and drop kick hitting Yoon directly in the chest knocking him onto the mat with a pained groan
"POINT !" the ref confirmed
"YEAH !" Daniel said hugging Anthony tightly while Chozen, Johnny and Banres had all joined in ruffling the boys hair
"Miyagi-Fang 2-1 !" the ref said
"Yoon ! give me your hand come here man" Hawk said helping his teammate back up trading place with him
"You ok ? you alright ?" Hawk asked and Yoon had nodded his head only needing to catch his breathe
Knowing Yoon was taken care of Hawk had cracked his neck and stepped on the mat facing Demetri head on with a deathly smirk seeing Demetri didn't tag anyone in or fall back
"Let's go you damn nerd !" Hawk said getting into his fighting position only making Demetri growl Within his
"Bring it Eli !" Demetri yelled back before Immediately blocking Hawk's two jumping kicks
Responding back with a spin kick Hawk dodged Eli blocked Demetri's lock jab to high jab
Blocking Demetri's second and third jab with his arms Hawk Immediately blocked his jab with his leg shoving Demetri back before jumping into a spin kick making Demetri back up
But the spin kick had only been a diversion as the real strike was the back kick Hawk hit him in the face with mid fair making Demetri fall back on the ground with a painful groan clutching his mouth
"POINT ! COBRA KAI ! 2-2 ! next point wins !" the ref said as Miguel grabbed Demetri's hand taking him out of bounds
"LIKE I SAID ! STILL A PUSSY !" Hawk yelled to Demetri right as Miguel took his spot in the ring making Hawk smirk
"El Serpiente, finally a worthy opponent ! you're not gonna hold back are you ?"
With a glare on his face Miguel shook his head
"Wouldn't dream of it" he responded making Hawk chuckle
"AIS !"
"AIS !"
Immediately rushing to each other Miguel jumped in a high kick while Hawk went for a sweep both missing each other but once they landed both their jabs blocked one another
attempting to strike again, Miguel and Hawk blocked one another, standing in the center of the mat in a complete standstill as they went back and forth trading offense and defense
Striking a low jab to high jab, Miguel blocked all of Hawk's jabs soon blocked his other knee with his leg before dodging Hawk's spin kick
Grabbing Miguel's leg Hawk tried to strike but Miguel had Immediately done a side flip breaking out his grasp before both Miguel and Hawk threw a punch that got blocked and caught the other's fist
Striking with their feet trying to get one foot over the other's Miguel had soon won flipping Hawk to the mat
Miguel tried to drop down and punch his chest but Hawk Immediately rolled out the way throwing a kick that Miguel blocked before rolling again so that he could get to his feet
"You wanted your chance here it is" Hawk said before he tagged in Kwon leaving Miguel to only huff his breathe as he watched Kwon walk on the mat with a smirk
"Ok, let's go, number two" Kwon said and Miguel didn't hesitate only getting into his fighting position as this was the fight he's wanted
"AIS !"
"AIS !"
Running up to Miguel Kwon threw two kicks that Miguel blocked before Kwon jumped in a spin kick missing Miguel
Miguel struck a kick that Kwon blocked leaving Kwon to reply with his own two kicks that Miguel blocked leaving the two to trade side kicks
Jumping up to try and spin kick Kwon, Miguel had missed leading Kwon to drag Miguel's foot to the ground keeping them low to the floor as Kwon blocked Miguel's jab pushing his hand away so that he could block Miguel's low recovery kick
Getting to his feet Miguel had Immediately grabbed Kwon's leg that was about to strike his chest and he had only flung Kwon to the ground making him recover in a roll up to his feet
Letting out a laugh Kwon had nodded his head bouncing in place as he cracked his neck
"Number two's got some moves" Kwon teased as Miguel had huffed his breathe getting back into his fighting position
"Alright then, let's see what you got"
Attempting a kick that Miguel Immediately blocked, Kwon blocked Miguel's two kicks before ducking under his spin kick
Staying low to the ground Kwon tried a plethora of jabs that Miguel blocked building his way back up to his feet before Miguel slammed his fist into Kwon's leg
Throwing a fake kick into a spin kick, Kwon made Miguel jump as Kwon had kept his leg up trying to strike multiple times only to have Miguel block each one and grab his leg
Immediately jumping in a spin kick making Miguel let go, Miguel grabbed at Kwon striking a knee that Kwon blocked leaving Kwon to strike his own knee that Miguel blocked
Wrapping his arm around Kwon, Miguel attempted an elbow but Kwon had blocked it and wrapped his other arm around keeping them locked
With no other option left both Miguel and Kwon thought the same thing and Immediately the two raised their leg up and kicked each other's chest at the same time
The front kick had been so hard and powerful it send both Kwon and Miguel stumbling back into their teams arms as Robby and Sam caught Miguel while Hawk and Tory caught Kwon
Everyone's hearts dropped and the tension was the highest with everyone in the building watching the match
All eyes were on the ref for results on who directly won as Kwon and Miguel hadn't even been fully picked up yet still in their teammates arms looking at the ref for answers
Feeling the pressure that all eyes were on him for the results even the ref was confused making his verdict
"Both Fighters struck at the same time making the given point impractical, no point ! keep fighting !" the ref confirmed and Immediately Kwon and Miguel locked eyes in challenge before each of their two teammates pushed them back in the ring continuing the fight
Throwing a punch Miguel blocked Kwon threw a kick Kwon blocked before jumping into a spin kick making Miguel duck
Going for a low sweep Miguel dodged flipping over the kick before attempting his own sweep that Kwon backfliped over
Feeling himself starting to gas out Miguel knew he needed to switch and by the way Kwon clenched his chest in heavy breathe Kwon knew the same thing
Blocking two of Kwon's kicks Miguel dropped down in a slide ducking under Kwon so that he could get to the other end of the mat so that he could tag in Robby
And as much as Kwon wanted to take a shot at the Captain he wasn't an idiot, fighting Robby while running on low was a death wish waiting to happen
"This isn't over number 2" Kwon said before he turned around to tag in Hawk and Robby's face Immediately scrunch once he saw this was it
"Robby" Sam said stopping him from getting on the mat as she had simply grabbed at his arm
The way his face spoke to her Sam knew he'd do anything she said, if she asked him to throw the match he would but this wasn't it
"Don't hold back" she told him
"Be Cobra Kai Robby if you have to Just. Win." she told him
Looking back at Hawk Robby had only shook his head
"No…I'm gonna be better" he said making Sam smile as she had immediately leaned up to peck his lips before letting him go
"Hey" Tory said making Hawk look at her
"You got this" she smiled nodding her head in reassurance
"No kiss for good luck ?" Hawk teased but Tory had only rolled her eyes
"You don't need it" she said leaving Hawk to agree but that was when she went up and pecked his lips
"But I'm still gonna give it to you anyway" she told him making Hawk smile before she pushed him on the mat
Approaching one another Hawk and Robby glared at one another knowing this was what it all came down too
Walking on the mat sizing each other up Hawk and Robby didn't make a move, didn't even get into their fighting positions as they only looked at one another with tight glares and faces of anger
"HAWK ! FOCUS !" Kreese yelled
"YOU GOT THIS ROBBY !" Johnny encouraged
"You and me" Robby said
"You and me" Hawk growled putting his hands up in a form of challenge waiting
"Let's finish this !"
With a tight scowl Robby got into his fighting position leaving Hawk to get into his
"AIS !"
"AIS !"
Running up to Hawk, Robby struck a kick that Hawk blocked leaving Robby to follow up with a spin kick Hawk dodged
Running up again Robby struck three kicks leaving Hawk to block and stumble on the mat only shaking his head as he stayed in his fighting position
"Ok Mr Defense" Hawk chuckled
"Let me show you some offense"
Immediately blocking Robby's jab, Hawk blocked his other one, throwing a strike Robby blocked
Pushing Robby with his body, Hawk blocked Robby's jab maneuvering his arm so that he could strike a high kick making Robby move out the way but Hawk had Immediately followed up the attack with a double kick into a spartan kick breaking through Robby's defense as Robby had stumbled leaving Demetri to catch him and help him and push him back in the match seeing Hawk's awaiting smirk
"That's the best you got King Cobra come on" Robby had challenged putting his fist up leaving Hawk to growl as he Immediately struck a kick
A kick that Robby outkicked making Hawk drop to the mat with a hard thud
Robby waited for Hawk to get back up seeing the angered look on his face and when he tried to kick again Robby had done the same thing giving him a serious counter kick dropping him to the mat
Following up his attack with a small roundhouse Hawk blocked Robby gave Hawk a side kick that caused him to stumble back on the mat
Beginning to huff his breathe in anger Hawk moved his arms within his Gi and shook his head now starting to get pissed off while Robby just kept his cool staying strong and pouncing on his toes
Throwing a jab Robby blocked, Robby threw one that Hawk blocked but Hawk had Immediately grabbed his arm and flung Robby to the ground
Seeing his positioning Robby had Immedialty ducked out the way of Hawk's face punch making him strike the mat before pushing him off so that he could do a kick up getting back to his feet
Throwing a fake kick making Robby counter kick again, Hawk had Immediately grabbed Robby's leg and dropped him to the mat again this time dropping with him as he maneuvered behind Robby and grabbed him in a headlock making them both angrily yell as everyone watched in anticipation
"What are Robby and Hawk doing ?" Anthony asked
"They've had multiple chances to strike each other and they're not taking them ?" he said but Johnny just shook his head
"Because this is more than a fight to them" he said as Robby had broke free grabbing Hawk's arm
"It's the end of a rivalry"
Dropping onto the mat with a roll brining Hawk with him Robby had Immediately thrown Hawk making him land right across from him
Both Robby and Hawk let out heavy angered breaths before getting up as Hawk had twisted his legs in the air getting the momentum to get back up while Robby had down a kick up but both of them got back on their feet at the same exact time holding determined faces as they looked at each other
Pacing one another back and forth sizing each other up Robby and Hawk grew the same final idea as they had both undone their Gi's
Taking off the top part of his Gi Robby threw his to Sam while Hawk threw his to Tory before soon enough they got back into their fighting positions ready to finish this once and for all
Letting out an angered yell Hawk Immediately struck throwing two kicks that Robby blocked before jumping into a spin kick making Robby back up so far that Tory had to stop him
Doing another spin kick that Robby this time rolled out of the way of, Hawk's attack was so wild that he almost hit Tory making his eyes go wide but he didn't pay attention to it for that long because he just looked at Robby's angered glare within his fighting position only challenging him more
"COME ON !" Hawk angrily yelled before blocking Robby's spin kick making him stumble
Dodging Robby's swing and then hook, Hawk found himself dodging a plethora of Robby's jabs and strikes not even needing to block only backing up and dodging with fast reaction time
Ducking under Robby's final swing Robby struck so hard he almost hit Sam making his eyes go wide but he didn't pay attention to it for long as he only turned to face Hawk's angered glare within his fighting position challenging Robby
"LET'S GO !" Robby angrily yelled before blocking Hawk's jab and then blocking his punch, finally throwing punch that made hawk groan before he threw Robby off of him and attempted an Uppercut that Robby dodged
Grabbing Hawk's arm Robby Immediately struck an elbow into his arm making him yell before Robby turned Hawk around leaving them to both Kick each other and block their attempts sending them clear across the mat from one another
Immediately getting up to their feet Hawk and Robby looked directly across from each other to filled with anger for the person they saw against them
And it only led everyone to watch, Both Miyagi-Fang and Cobra Kai alike from Sensei to Student as Robby and Hawk let out raging primal yells against one another raising their fist into their fighting positions
"AIS !"
"AIS !"
Not showing any fear, any hesitation, any sense of noncommitment. Hawk and Robby had ran to each other leaving everyone in that building to watch as Hawk and Robby both jumped up forming a kick directed towards one another leaving everyone to watch who would win
And Hawk was Immediately kicked in the face making him twist his head and land on the mat hard while Robby landed to his feet
"POINT ! MIYAGI-FANG WINS !" The ref said Making Miguel, Sam, Demetri, Kenny and Devon cheer like they just won the fucking Superbowl
"With the win, Miyagi-Fang advances to the tournament of champions ! INCREDIBLE !" The ref confirmed leaving Daniel, Johnny, Barnes, Chozen and Anthony to just jump for joy in every amount of cheer hugging one another while Barnes had picked Anthony up raising him high
Robby had let out a victory yell of all yells letting everyone know he won that fight while his team had stormed the mat surrounding their Captain in celebration
Sensei Kim and Kreese had held faces of disappointment seeing that Miyagi-Fang were the ones celebrating but more so Sensei Kim just looked at Kreese who had know words only knowing she was right all along
Hugging each other tightly in victory Daniel and Johnny had smiled
"Congratulations, Johnny you finally beat Kreese" he said but Johnny shook his head with a pure smile
"No no WE ! finally beat Kreese"
"Well, I actually beat him in my first tournament" Daniel said but again Johnny shook his head
"Don't make me hit you"
Storming the mat while Robby was yelling the team had Immediately hugged Robby in one group huge overjoyed that he won the match and were on their way to the Champion of all Champions final
Looking down at Sam who took his arms Robby let every amount of adrenaline dictate what he was gonna say next
"Marry me" he said shocking Sam making her chuckle
"What ?"
She thought he was joking but within the team's celebration Robby was all the most serious as he dropped down to one knee right there and then making Sam's eyes go wide
The celebrating within the team had stopped as well as even they were shocked on what they were seeing back Kenny had only smiled
"Robby what ar-"
"I-I had a ring but I left it in my backpack at the hotel he said" with a chuckle as this still wasn't fully registering to Sam
"Sam I wanna live the rest of my life with you, I wanna have a family with you, I wanna I wanna travel the world with you"
Dying down from the celebrating Johnny and Daniel Immediately saw what was happening making their eyes practically pop out their skulls while Chozen and Barnes were shocked themselves even had Barnes covering Anthony's face
"I was scared about my future, What I had to offer to you but I'm not anymore, I'm not scared so I'm asking you right here…right now. Samantha. Allison. LaRusso. Will you marry me ?"
Popping the question without a ring, smooth Keene really smooth
With tears coming out of her eyes everyone waited for an answer but Sam couldn't give one as she was too busy crying so he had to resort in nodding her head making Robby's face light up
"Yes !" She finally said getting it out
"YES ! GOD YES !" Sam shouted out the top of her lunges before jumping into Robby's arms making him laugh as he had carried her holding her tightly
Once again the team had cheered not just because they would become world champs but because they'd have a wedding to look forward too
"Huh…..looks like we're becoming Family sooner than I thought" Johnny said while Daniel stood there in nothing more but disbelief, hell Johnny didn't even know if he was breathing by his eyes dilation and lack of lungs moving
"Young love, a beautiful thing" Chozen smiled nodding his head
"Oh ! we can have wedding in Okinawa" he proposed making Barnes laugh as he placed a hand on his shoulder
"I think we're done traveling for a while man"
"...So does this make Robby my brother in law ?"
The Sensei's had approached the team joining in on their celebration as Johnny went up and hugged his son only laughing and smiling at the man he's become
"Getting married before you old man huh" Johnny teased making Robby laugh
"Just don't have a kid yet please" he said before the two of them had hugged
Yoon and the other Cobra's had helped Hawk up off the floor but he had only waived them off silently thanking them for their help before walking away in utter disappointment at himself for his defeat
"Hey" Tory said approaching as she had Immediately cuffed his face to look at the bruise Robby gave him on his cheek
"Hey" she said holding him close as Hawk started to cry
"I'm sorry" he whispered falling into her arms leaving Tory to just hold him close
"I'm so sorry"
"It's ok…..Eli It's ok I don't blame you" she cooed while Hawk sobbed into her arms
"I….I just wanted to win….I wanted to win for you so bad" he whimpered and Tory had only nodded her head holding him closely as she tried to fight her own tears
"It's ok…..it's ok" she reassured
"You both fought hard" a voice said making the couple look up to see Mike Barnes look down at them in sorrow
"I wish…..I wish you were on the winning side" he said as tears stained Hawk's eyes absolutely killing Barnes to see his favorite student like this
"You guys are both some of the best fighters in the world…Don't let anyone take that from you" he said and Hawk and Tory had just nodded their heads and Barnes simply walked away to pained to see them like this
Following the other Cobra's back to the locker room Tory and Hawk passed by the Miyagi-Fang team only stopping to let them at in nothing but silence
"I uhh….we wish you guys could be celebrating with us…" Sam had said but both Hawk and Tory didn't have a response to that only nodding their heads in acceptance that they lost
"Congrats" Tory said to Robby and Sam and the couple had given a smile small before watching their friends walk away in nothing but pain
"Don't worry" Miguel said tapping Robby and Sam
"They'll come around" he reassured and Robby and Sam had only nodded their heads
Walking along the paths of the Arena in defeat Johnny saw Kreese walking, breaking apart from his team to stop him as he needed this words to be said
"All the shit you pulled to get here and nothing to show for it. How's it feel huh" Johnny said making Kreese Immediately sigh
"This isn't over" he said but Johnny shook his head
"Scoreboard says otherwise, couldn't happen to a shitter guy. My only regret is that Hawk and Tory had to take the fall for your mess…..See you in another life, Kreese"
With that Johnny had walked off leaving Kreese to just think on Johnny's words
Standing in the center of the mat all Daniel had done was look around, soaking in their victory. They were one step away from becoming world Champions and it felt so….so damn good to finally win
"Congratulations, LaRusso" Silver said making Daniel turn his head
"On making it to the Semis…Your kids sudden engagement. And for siccing Kreese on me with that dagger ruse"
Shaking his head Daniel only denied
"I don't know what youre talking about"
"One more thing" Silver said stopping him from leaving as he fiddled with the paper in his hand
"I felt bad that your Miyagi investigation didn't lead anywhere. Luckily. I don't give up so easily"
Holding out the envelope Daniel saw his good give him. Daniel squinted his eyes
"A gift" Silver offered
"From me to you"
Looking down at the paper Daniel shook his head
"I don't want your gifts" Daniel said but Silver had only grinned
"I think you do" he said placing the paper on his chest directly leaving Daniel to scowl before opening it up right when Silver left
But when he opened the paper Daniel had just froze right then and there
"Daniel-san, are you ok ?" Chozen asked as he Johnny and Barnes approached him
"What is it did Silver just serve you papers ?" Johnny asked making Barnes laugh
"I dare that pansy to sue us I'd drop his ass so fast"
Daniel had just shook his head in utter disbelief at what he saw
"No…..it's a Sekai Taikai record for…."
Daniel took a breathe and licked his lips
"From the year. Mr Miyagi participated"
Immediately moving around Johnny and Barnes got a better look at the paper squinting his eyes at what they were seeing
It was nothing but match scores for the final round and Mr Miyagi's had resulted in….
Death
"Mr Miyagi's match ended in death ?" Johnny said as Daniel dropped the paper in disbelief
"...He killed his opponent….."

Walking into the Cobra Kai Locker room defeated faces were shared all around
Standing in the Hallway, Kwon, Yoon, Tory, Hawk and Sensei Kim all stood around in defeat. Tory had her headband around her neck while Hawk had taken his off dropping his head back against the wall in a sigh while Yoon, Kwon and Sensei Kim held their arms crossed angrily
Kreese had just walked through the hallway entering the actual locker room and opened his locker revealing the Eunjangdo in his bag
Pursing his lips Kreese picked the weapon up grabbing the blade and revealing the knife with a grin as he twisted it within his grasp
"This isn't over…..until I say it's over"
