Queen of The Valley • Robby Keene

Chapter 31

                         {Season 4 episode 1}

"Uh, begin what exactly?" Demetri asked raising his hand. "Begin a new era. Many of us used to be enemies. But rivalries don't need to last forever. The all valley tournament is just a few months away, and this year, the stakes are higher than they've ever been. We know that cobra Kai is gonna use every dirty trick in the book. There's only one way we're gonna be able to beat" LaRusso was saying.

"By kicking their asses so hard they shit themselves." Sensei yelled interrupting LaRusso. "We gotta take things to the next level. Gonna teach you an aggression stronger than anything Cobra Kai can throw at us. They strike first? We'll pre strike!" Sensei yelled. "Ok we're getting ahead of ourselves. We are going to respond to what they do." LaRusso replies stepping forward.

"Eagles do not respond, they swoop down and take whatever they want. That's what we're gonna do. Take back the Valley." Sensei said.

"Take it back in a measured and organized approach."

"We bite first!"

LaRusso sighed. "Ok, let's just warm up with some simple exercises."

"All right. Line up!" Sensei yelled. They got into 2 rows infront of their two senseis. Miyagi's in the front and Eagles in the back. "Just breathe and follow me." LaRusso instructs and started lifting his hands up. Sensei eyes him, "Fighting positions!" Sensei yelled "right leg back! Front kick ready. Hi-yah!" Sensei yelled. Miyagi-Dos did there moves and Eagle fang did theirs. Some people fell over because they front kicked them.

"Oh shit dude, I'm sorry."

After warmup they did some sparring against each other. Penisbreath and Bert was up. Sensei was telling some things to them like "go for the teeth!"

LaRusso got between them. "Hey hey hey! You're just swinging at each other. Don't you teach any defense?"

"Best defense is more offense." Penisbreath tells him. Bert side kicks his stomach and then front kicks him into a huge boulder. "Holy..." sensei mutters. "Why do you have a rock in the middle of your dojo?"

Soon later they watched the Miyagi Do's fight. They circled around a bit, a bit as in a lot. "I'm dizzy." Sylvia mutters to Miguel. Miguel snickers and shakes his head. "Alright one of you do something what the hell is this?" Sensei calls out.

"That's not really how this works. One of us has to be provoked." Sensei chucks a water bottle at Demetri. "Provoked yet?"

As LaRusso's students calmly, and collectively waxed on and off the very fashionable cars. Johnnys students had to get in there with a vacuum, literally cleaning his car. "How- does your car get so- dirty." Sylvia pants tucking her hair out of the way.

And they had an obstacle course with fire. And then fought with each other inside and Hawk broke the screen on the door. After practice sensei drove Sylvia and Miguel home. "Hey Sylvia, do you wanna have dinner with sensei and us?" Miguel asks.

"I would but I have to work at the roller rink. Can't believe you don't know schedule!" Sylvia scoffs jokingly and unlocked the door. "Have fun at dinner!"

After work she went to that bar to try and get the job. It went great and she got it, everything smelled like alcohol and made my head hurt but she tried to ignore it. The next day at training they separated to their own dojos but still working together?

"Fall in! Hawk, since you're new to eagle fang come on up" sensei yelled. "Yes sensei" Hawk nods and bowed before walking up to sensei just to get swept off the floor landing on his back. "What the heck!" He groans.

"Today we're gonna practice our front sweeps, on Hawk." Sensei says. "All right. I know I was a dick, but I'm sorry." Hawk apologizes while getting up. "Talk is cheap, who's next?" sensei replied

After the sweeping they moved on to punching. On Hawk. Sylvia give sensei a look when he calls her up. "Come on. What's the wait?"

"Don't be a pussy! Punch him in the face."

Sylvia nods and goes back to her spot. "You punched him in the balls? What the hell is wrong with you?"

They took five as sensei and LaRusso argued. "Hey Hawk, sorry about him." Sylvia gives him an apologetic look. "I've got some Gatorade in my bag, your favorite flavor if you want some?"

"Alright thanks." Hawk groans holding onto his stomach. "Bags inside." Sylvia smiles.

LaRusso and Sensei were still arguing and they moved to the front. Hawk walked out, like out. "What the hell did you do?" Sensei asks.

"What did I do? I'm not the one who's been kick g his ass all day."

"We're training for the All Valley, not some yoga competition."

"Don't disrespect my dojo in front of your students."

"Don't tell me how to run my class. I'll do whatever I want." Sensei points a finger to him.

"I know what you're doing." LaRusso follows him. "Yeah?"

"Okay and as long as you're under my roof, they're both our students."

"Oh yeah? I know. U- under- what roof? We're outside."

Sensei drove them home as usual and Miguel started talking about the moon landing movie or something. Sylvia walked home and laid plopped down on her bed. After a few hours of bed rotting and scrolling on her phone she went and got ready for work. Sylvia walked out and saw LaRusso.

"Hey, Mr. LaRusso what are you doing here?" She asks with furrowed eyebrows. "I'm here to make ties with Johnny" he said and lifted a bag up. Probably filled with beer. "I didn't know you lived here." He says.

"Yeah I moved in when Miguel did" Sylvia answered. "So, where you going?" He asked. "I'm going to work. I have a job at the roller rink been working there for over a year" She shrugs and held up the skates. "Aren't you a little too young to be working?"

"Uhm, mom's not doing good gotta get money to pay the bills, buy food all that stuff. You're never too young to work." Sylvia looks around avoiding the eye contact. "I really need to go, see you at tomorrow." She gives a small smile and walks away

The next day at training both students were building a deck for sparring. Sylvia worked on getting the trees and branches out the way and others hammered, brought in supplies, all that stuff. At the end of the day the deck and everything was finished, it looks great. But a lot of splinters.
