"Halley. They're fighting dirty" Daniel stood beside the brunette "This is dangerous. You really don't have to do this" He reassured but Halley was already determined
"I know. But I want to" she nodded "And I know I can handle her. I can do this for all of us" Daniel nodded shortly, both bowing to each other before Halley turned to face the mat and stepped on it, Angela still speaking with her senseis and a few seconds later she was in front of Halley
"Good luck" Angela smirked
"Judging by last time I think you need it more than I do" Halley said, same tone as Angela and before the blonde could answer the referee stepped towards them
"Face me. Bow. Face each other. Bow" the reluctant bowed to each other before going into their stances, Halley knew Angela and how she fought, she wanted to be aggressive, just like everyone in Cobra Kai but she was just simply lacking on it, she was not as good as she thought she was "Ready? Fight!" As expected the blonde launched herself against Halley, a kick was the first thing thrown her way followed by a punch which Halley avoided easily and she attacked herself successfully landing a kick right under Angela's armpit "No point. That's shoulder. No point" the referee gestured with his hands
"You've gotta be..." Halley mumbled and took a deep breath before finishing simply deciding to go back to focus
"Keep fighting" they went back to their stances to continue the fight, Angela was mainly using kicks for attack which didn't allow Halley to get too close but she was blocking every single one "Point. 1-0, Armani" the referee said after Halley very clearly blocked the kick
"What? There was no contact!" Daniel lifted his arms in the air in disbelief and Halley breathed heavily realizing that something was definitely not right, she asked for time out and went towards her senseis
"I blocked that! And there's no way that hit before was in the shoulder, it was clearly bellow" Halley had no idea what to do in that situation, it was as if the referee was blind or something
"Alright, look. Not every point is gonna go our way" Daniel tried to calm her down
"I'm down a point when I should be up one!" Halley was stressed, that was visible, the fate of the dojo was pretty much in the result of her fight "If I lose the match because of that-"
"Halley!" Sam stopped her "Stop that. You are the better fighter, not only we all know it but you've also shown it. You've beat her before, more than once. We know you can do it, all of us" She pointed at their teammates behind her who nodded along, honest looks in their eyes, full of trust
"Referee is a moron. Must not leave room for error" Chosen spoke up
"He's right" Daniel agreed. "You make every point undeniable" Halley nodded shortly, a new found confidence in her body, that fight was hers. Both teens stood on their marks
"Ready? Fight'' Five seconds is all it took Halley to make her point, she threw Angela to the floor and hit directly in her chest, the point was impossible to deny, there were cheers from her side of the mat and a smile made its way to her lips "Point, LaRusso 1-1. Ready? Fight!" Halley was putting in all of the effort to be as sharp as she had ever been with her hits and her blocks, in the next round she didn't have to block anything, simply avoiding the attacks of the blonde and kicking her in the chest in a very clean hit "Point. 2-1, LaRusso" the smile in Halley's face was more visible by the second and Angela's worried eyes started to be visible since the brunette made the fist point "Ready? Fight!" In that last round Angela was being more cautious, being more mindful of Halley's movements but it was not enough because Halley was determined and after a few seconds that last point came, with one last kick she had won the fight "Point. Winner, LaRusso''
"Yes, Halley!" she heard the cheers from her team as the referee lifted her arm in the air and then she ran towards her cousin and uncle, both embracing her in a tight hug
"I am so proud of you, Halley. That was amazing" Daniel squeezed her before letting go, the proud look in his face couldn't be erased
"That was unbelievable!" Sam cheered on her cousin, the biggest smile she had mustered up in a while
"Halley-san" Chozen smiled her way, saying something in Japanese that Halley couldn't understand but it was clear it was good if the huge smile in his face was any indicator, they bowed to each other before Halley was embraced from behind by those arms she was so familiar with
"You were brilliant" she heard Eli's voice from behind and she turned still in the embrace to wrap her arms around him "You are amazing" he whispered with his face buried in her hair, Halley leaned back to place a short kiss on his lips "At least the green gave one of us superpowers" Halley rolled her eyes playfully
"We've reached and agreement" all eyes were on the revisors of the tournament, Halley and Eli left the hug but one of his arms lingered over her shoulders "As expected, we were impressed, with the skills, precision and discipline of the new Sekai Taikai qualifier..." the man looked back and forth between both dojos "Cobra Kai" there was cheers from them, they jumped up and down but the disappointment of the other side of the dojo lasted all of that of ten seconds before the guy continued talking "As for our other dojo, we admired your unusual mix of styles and underdog spirit...and we think you could be a unique addition to the competition" that caught their attention "Therefore, we've decided that your dojo has also qualified" now it was their turn to cheer they all jumped and embraced each other, euphoria running through their veins because they had done it, the had a chance to prove themselves not even to the Valley but to the world
