The Karate Code ~Robby Keene~

Time

The girl could hear Anthony screaming percentages as the videos continued to load to Youtube, Miraleigh cried out again as Kaylee stomped on her knee again, the pain got worse and worse each time lingering for longer after each attack on the bone. Seeing his girl being ruthlessly beaten, unable to defend herself with the position she was stuck in, caused Robby to black out for a moment and do what he could to help the girl. 

"Not my girlfriend, you bitch!" Robby shouted, kicking Kaylee in the face, causing her to stumble down, Miraleigh stumbled as she pushed herself up but could feel something wrong happen in her knee. Yet, she ignored the pain and went to face forward to the boy but as the two went to fill the space between them, the odds were not in their favour.

"Not likely, asshole." William hissed, blocking the boy from going to help the injured girl.

"Miraleigh!" Robby yelled as he was grabbed by William and pushed into the group of teens. The man then stood guard, blocking anyone from helping Miraleigh and allowing Kaylee to continue her assault on Miraleigh.

The brunette girl threw grabbed Kaylee by her hair and used that as an advantage to kick Kaylee in the stomach and face. Kaylee shouted as she managed to flip Miraleigh over her back and onto the ground. Miraleigh coughed as she landed on the ground and was dragged back as Kaylee got her in a chokehold. 

Everything came crashing down on Miraleigh, literally, everything, the sounds, the pain, the loss of adrenaline, she felt everything all at once and everywhere. Only, all that disappeared as the larger group of teens stopped fighting to focus on, the tv in front of them. At first, it was Miraleigh being attacked by her father, everyone that didn't already know started murmuring about the man and what happened to Miraleigh.

Then afterwards, Tory's video started playing, Miraleigh was still stuck on the ground, on her knees with her plait still in Kaylee's hands, the girl briefly stopped to watch the video, barely paying attention to what was playing on the tv.

"I need to talk to you," Tory stated on the recording.

"Nichols. What's on your mind? Excited to take things to the next level?"

"What's the point? You'll just pay to make me champion again."

"So you know about the ref. Have you told anyone?"

"Not yet. So you don't deny it?"

"Not at all. I paid him off to make sure Cobra Kai won. It was an insurance policy. You still won the fight."

"Did I?"

"That's it." Everyone looked to see Silver, all beaten and bruised, standing there looking like shit and like he finally had a fight for once.

"That was your big plan, LaRusso? Breaking into my dojo to steal some footage that changes nothing?" Miraleigh's head was pulled closer to Kaylee's chest and a knife was placed against her throat. The girl felt tears pour down her cheek as the cold metal pressed again her skin. No one noticed yet, everyone focused on what the cranky old bastard was going on about.

"It wasn't his plan. It was ours." Tory spoke up, everyone turning to look at her.

"And it changes everything." Robby corrected Silver, his voice solemn and gentle. The girl wanted to call out for Robby, begging the boy to look at her and see what was happening so he could do something to help. 

William was standing to the side, so the two teens were in plain sight if someone were to look their way. As Silver had learnt, once Robby said his peace, Miraleigh would soon follow and say her part. So not seeing the brunette girl by the boy, he held his arms out to grab the attention of everyone else. 

"And what does Miss Miraleigh fucking Johnson have to add to this little speech?" Everyone glanced to look around for the girl in question, the panic set in on not seeing the girl immediately and knowing that for the fight she mainly fought against Kaylee, it got Robby worried about what could have happened to her this time around and what sort of predicament Miraleigh could be in this time around.

Robby's heart clenched seeing her broken look and the fear in her eyes with the knife against her throat. Miraleigh's breathing was quick and short, everyone stared at the two wide-eyed and feeling different things for each girl. Their emotions for Miraleigh were feeling scared and alarmed by how far this was getting. Sure, they had their 'no mercy' policy, but that didn't mean death. To some of them, it could mean close to death but it never meant dead.

Then many if not all, felt rage and disgust at Kaylee's horrid and inhumane actions. The attacker glared at her teammates seeing their looks at what she was doing and glared at Robby as he slightly stepped forward to speak to her. 

"It's going to be okay Miraleigh, don't worry, sweetheart... I'm gonna get you out of here. I promise you." Robby whispered, holding his hands out as he went to walk forward but stopped at the aggressiveness Kaylee held in her eyes. 

"Kaylee, you don't have to do this, let her go and we'll walk away without any blood on our hands." Daniel tried to reason, only Kaylee pressed the blade closer to Miraleigh's throat, still not drawing any blood on the weakened girl. 

"Robby- please... I love you." Miraleigh clenched her eyes shut, hot and large tears falling down her cheeks. Robby hated not being able to help the girl, what could he do for the girl? He can't just stand there and watch her cry. Can't just stand there watching the one person he's ever felt anything for suffering and have her life on the line. Robby held back his tears, his face contorting in sadness as Miraleigh broke down before them all. 

"I-I-I love you too, sweetheart." He whispered back, the girl smiling sadly as she tried to hold back her tears and if anything happened to her, she'd be left knowing Robby said the words that she loved to hear. 

Miraleigh's lip continued to quiver, Robby looked to his senseis panicked and his eyes begging for them to help somehow but even then, he knew they couldn't do anything without risking the safety of the girl and knowing that this had to be done a particular way, so Miraleigh wouldn't be injured and still had her life.
