"Ladies and gentlemen, you've been waiting a long time. But we're finally here."

The crowd roared with cheers.

"Dojos from all across the Valley have been training a year for their shot a glory. You ready to meet them?"

Everyone cheered again.

"Alright...This sensei and dojo need no introduction. He took the All Valley by storm in 1984 and '85 and quickly became one of the greatest underdogs in the history of the sport. Last year, this dojo came out of nowhere and made it to the finals. They've got some new fighters, and they're ready to show the world that they're the best around. Give it up for Miyagi-Do Karate! Led by two-time all valley champion, Daniel LaRusso!"

Daniel, Sam, Amelia, Demetri, Eli, Chris, Nate, and the rest walked out into view, blue lights illuminated them and fog swirled around them. People cheered, Amanda and Anthony, cheered the most. They jogged to their spots before lining up.

"This next dojo took last year's title. But they're under new management. Can they reign supreme once more? And last year's runner-ups, they may be wearing a new gi but one things for sure. Y/n LaRusso, Robby Keene, and their team are ready to strike! Hailing from Reseda, defending champions, and still the most badass name for a dojo, here comes Cobra Kai!"

The lights were red and the fog still remained. Walking out: Kreese, Silver, Y/n; Robby, Tory, Andy; Kyler, Piper, Kenny, and more. Walking up to their spot they stood feet away from Daniel and his team. Demetri slightly peaked his head out to look at Y/n who had a stoic face. He sighed and face forward.

"And finally, this dojo is making its 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!"

White lights and fog: Johnny, Miguel, Devon, Mitch, Bert, and the rest jogged to their place and lined up. Sam peered over to look at Miguel. Sam looked away and Miguel looked at Sam.

"At the end of the day, only one of these dojos can be crowned grand champion. Welcome, the 51st annual All-Valley Under-18 Karate Tournament!!" The people roared with cheers and applause. "It's karate time" Daryl finished.

The Cobra Kai's huddled around as they talked waiting for the skills competition to begin. "Alright, fall in," Kreese said. Getting into their stance they looked at Kreese and Silver. "All your training has brought you to this moment. Remember, if you win, you won't just get a trophy. You get the glory and you get to know forever that you are the champion.

"I have had students with all the talent in the world squander their moment. Don't let history repeat itself. Do not let your emotions cloud your judgment and above all, don't let anything stand in your way of your victory." Kreese finished.

"Just to be clear" Silver chimed in "that's not a pep talk. That's an order. And we're all gonna follow Sensei Kreese's orders, aren't we?" Silver asked. "Yes Sensei" his students replied. "Aren't we?" Silver repeated.
"Yes, Sensei!" The students repeated louder. "Let's go win this! Come on!" Everyone cheered, excited to win.

The skills display had begun and the first one up happened to be Demetri. "Ladies and gentlemen. It's time we begin our skills competition. Up first, Demetri Alexopoulos from Miyagi-Do Karate. He'll be showcasing the kamas."

Demetri grabbed his things and walked into the mat. He sighed deeply. Looking at Daniel who gave him a look of reassurance. The raven-haired boy bowed and got into his position. "Hi-yah!" He exclaimed. He did his routine, effortlessly moving around, exclaiming every once in a while. Finishing up his movements he shouted once more "Hi-yah!" And he bowed. Looking to the side he watched as Y/n quickly turned her head. She had been looking at him, closely. Demetri walked off the mat. Daniel patted him on the back. Eli and Chris complimented him.
