"Lex." Robby waved Alexa over as he looked out of the small door. "Look at your mom and brother."

Alexa came up behind him, their Cobra Kai gi's together as they looked at Deena and Ty. Alexa laughed. "You're here for both of us, you know?"

Robby felt her arms go around his waist from behind, her chin digging into his shoulder. Robby gave her a grin backwards. "I knew you went soft."

"Don't test me, i'm three energy drinks in and have a lot of range." Alexa poked him in the side rather hard, getting a wince before she let him go with a grin.

"Mr.Keene, Castillo." Kreese encouraged the two to join them toward the doors. "You two ready? I'm putting a lot of trust into you."

"I'll make 'em bleed." Alexa nodded with a venomous smirk. "You can trust me, Sensei."

Kreese looked to Robby, who nodded. "I've got this."

"Good." Kreese held his head up higher, turning before the group.

"Hey." Robby looked toward Alexa as she found his face. "However this goes down, i'm proud of you either way."

Alexa had to smile, nodding her head. "I'm proud of you too. But, i'll be even more proud if you kick some ass for me."

"Oh, i'll name one of my moves after you." Robby nodded with a cheeky grin her way. "Paint the fence? More like The Alexa."

"The Spitting Cobra Alexa." she corrected him with a laugh.

"The Spitting Cobra Alexa it is." Robby nodded his head. "Tighten your gi."

Alexa noticed it was a little loose, going to do so before Robby cut her off. He pulled the belt tighter around her waist, getting a small jult as she stumbled his way slightly. Robby met her eye, and for the first time, she didn't seem so tough and above him. "There you go."

"This next dojo took last years title. But they're under new management. Can they reign supreme once more? And last years runner-up. He may be wearing a new gi, but one things for sure, Robby Keene and his team are ready to strike! Hailing for Reseda, defending champions and still the most badass name for a dojo, here comes Cobra Kai!" Daryl announced the dojo, Kreese and Terry leading as the Cobra Kai's followed after them. Alexa didn't realize how much she missed the All Valley until she looked out at the crowd and fell in love with the way they cheered, feeling so loved and appreciated. Robby nudged her to get her attention, the two shared a grin before jogging with the team to their respectable places on the mat.

"And finally their dojo is making their All Valley debut, though you'll recognize a few familiar faces. Every year, a new dojo rises up the ranks. Does this newcomer have what it takes to win it all? Please welcome Eagle Fang Karate, led by Sensei Johnny Lawrence and defending champion Miguel Diaz!" Daryl announced the final dojo, Alexa watched Johnny lead his team out to stand opposite of them. It didn't take her long to fall in confusion when she didn't come across a familiar buzz cut, instead finding him in Miyagi Do, with her ex boyfriend, the pair clearly talking about her.

"Hey." Robby found her attention again. "Don't get distracted. Remember what we learned. Use your weakness as a weapon, don't let it control you."

Alexa nodded. "Are you okay? With Johnny here..."

"I'm fine." Robby promised her with a nod. "Thanks for asking though."

"At the end of the day, only one of these dojos can be crowned Grand Champion. Welcome to the 51st annual All Valley Under-18 Karate Tournament!" Daryl yelled into the mic and the stands all cheered for his words, stomping their feet and clapping. "It's karate time."

Kreese brought the black and yellow group in soon after, huddled together. "All your training has brought you to this moment. Remember, if you win, you don't just get a trophy. You get the glory. And you get to know forever that you are a champion. I have had students with all the talent in the world squander their moment. Do not let history repeat itself. Do not let your emotions cloud your judgment. And above all, do not let anything stand in the way of your victory."

"Just to be clear." Terry spoke up to the group of teens. "That's not a pep talk. That's an order. And we're all gonna follow Sensei Kreese's orders today, aren't we?"

"Yes, Sensei." they all said back on sync.

"Aren't we?" Terry repeated himself to the group.

"Yes, Sensei!" they all yelled on sync together.

"Let's go win this! Come on!" he encouraged as they cheered, Alexa grinned, giving Kreese a high five as he nodded at her.

"You remember what I said." he pointed at her, then, without a care in the world, pointed straight toward Eagle Fang and Miyagi Do. "Remember who the real enemy is. Remember who your family is."

"Come on now!" Johnnys words echoed enough for them to know he was yelling at Kreese. "What's he saying to her?"

Alexa blinked, double taking at Kreese with a nod. "Yes, Sensei."

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to begin our skills competition!" Daryl spoke into the mic as the first gene rolled around. "Up first, Demetri Alexopoulos from Miyagi-Do Karate, who'll be showcasing the kamas."

Alexa didn't realize she was holding her breath while watching him until her chest started to hurt. Demetri gave a yell into the air, swinging the kamas around, quick on his feet, spinning in every direction. Alexa hadn't seen him in action aside from the school fight, and that was nothing compared to his balance and skill now. Kreese watched her closer as she darted her head around in every direction he moved in.

A girl from Eagle Fang showed off her board breaking skills. Chris doing the same before ending it with crashing through a few cinderblocks. Kenny was next, and Alexa grinned when he broke through the board she held, doing the same to the others. Alexa found this part of the competition the most interesting, and wished she'd paid more attention last year in it.

"Are you kidding me? What a way to start the skills competition!" Daryl called over the mic. "Clearly, Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang came to play. But with such a tight spread, it's still anyones game."

The skills competition continued, Cobra Kai doing well and getting themselves high up as well. Who didn't compete already from Cobra Kai and Eagle Fang did so, and Alexa had to admit that Sam was pretty good out there, but Tory managed to do just as well. Robby flipped across the mat after showing off his skill, landing perfect. Alexa cheered. "Yeah, Robby! Give it to em!"

He joined her with a grin, nodding his head and tossing an arm around her shoulders. They watched Nate get on Chris' shoulders, holding board. Hawk stood between them, punching through the one infront of him easily, breaking through the one on his right and left just as simply. Unfortunately, when if came to the high board, his foot not nearly strong enough to pass through it that high.

Alexa didn't mean to, but she gave a loud gasp.

Robby gave a look as she shook her head. "Sorry."

"It's cool." he shook his head, and they watched Mitch from Eagle fang struggle as well, knocking them down rather quickly. Cobra Kai lined up, and Alexa was placed in the middle now. Her eyes found the two dojos that had her old friends in it, and her head was tilted a bit higher.

A gasp echoed through the crowd as Robby held a board, his hands gloved from the fire that was lit to it. Alexa steadied her breathing, listening to her heart. Three more board were lit around her, held by Kyler, Tory, and Kenny, all protected by gloves, while she wasn't.

"What the hell is this?" Demetri looked in confusion. "Have you seen this?"

"No." Eli shook his head, eyes darting at the lit boards. "That real fire, dude."

"She's gonna burn herself." the taller boy shook his head.

Alexa took a final breath, yelling out as she twisted on her ankles, kicking the lit board in Kenny's hands broken, twisting around as her knuckles hit the one in Torys, she flipped backwards on her palms, her foot passing through the board in Kylers hand as she stood back up. The crowd cheered, and Alexa shook her hands and feet to rid the minor string.

"Don't think about it." Robby encouraged her, and it was just the two of them left. "Remember, the faster you pass through it, the less it'll hurt."

Alexa backed up from him, nodding with a breath. The crowd, and the dojos, watching intensely to see if she'd get this final one. Alexa swallowed, a yell escaping her lips as she ran forward, kicking off her left leg as she spun through the air, her right food crashing through the board. Cheers erupted from the crowd, Deena standing to her feet.

Alexa smiled, bowing as her and Robby hurried off the mat. Once they made it off, he picked her up in his arms to hug her, circling slightly. It got an "aw" from the crowd slightly before he set her back down.

With that, Cobra Kai took the lead.
