"Oh who is she?

A misty memory

A haunting face

Is she a lost embrace?"

"Ladies and gentlemen...you've been waiting a long time, but we're finally here. Dojos from all across The Valley have been training for a year for their shot at glory. You ready to meet them?" Daryl announced.

Maeve was very nervous. This was the first time she'd be fighting in a tournament.

She'd done ballet shows before, but that wasn't the same.

The girl woke up that morning feeling sick. Only getting out of bed after a pep talk from her dad.

They drove together, but separated as soon as they got there.

"Good luck. I'm very excited to see you on the mat." Johnny had told her kissing her forehead.

"Thanks, dad. Good luck to you too." She gave him a hug before walking towards Cobra Kai.

Maeve closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.

"Hey, don't worry. You'll do amazing." Tory rubbed her back with a smile.

Maeve smiled at her friend who came out of the changing room.

She had to admit that the gi's Silver and Kreese gave them were really cool.

"Thanks. I'm just really nervous." Maeve chuckled, wiping her hands on her pants.

"This sensei and dojo need no introduction. He took the All Valley by storm in 1984 and '85and 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 finales. 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!" Maeve smiled, excited for both Demetri and Eli.

"All right everyone, get in line." Silver told them.

Maeve went to stand next to Robby.

They smiled reassuringly at each other.

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

They all began to walk out and made their way around the mat as the audience was clapping and cheering for them.

Maeve saw Anthony sitting next to his mom. He gave her a big smile and thumps up.

She also saw Moon yelling her name and clapping.

Carmen and Rosa were cheering for her so loud she could hear them over the crowd.

Maeve smiled to herself.

"And finally... this dojo is making their All Valley debut, thought 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!"
