The whole place was in upheaval, everyone was either punching someone or getting punched and Alora was obviously the former. She kicked and punched her way through Miyagi-Do's trying to avoid using her right hand. She hadn't trained with her left hand as much as her right but she had done enough to the point where it wasn't a major inconvenience. After kicking down a random, she came face to face with Tory.

"I don't want to fight you, Alora. My beef is with Silver, not with you. You don't have to do this," Tory tried to reason. "You could come to us. We all will have a place at Miyagi-Do. A place that doesn't force us to break solid stone with a punch!"

They circled each other, Alora's eyes narrowing slightly. "It was a test of strength. Of will. And you failed." She threw herself into a hard punch, aiming for Tory's chest. Tory stepped out of the way just before her fist made contact.

"I'm not gonna fight you," Tory shook her head.

Then out of nowhere, Sensei Kim walked up behind Tory and kicked her legs out from underneath her, surprising the both of them by her sudden appearance.

"You disappoint me, Nichols," Sensei Kim said, looking down on her.

"Yeah? Well, likewise," Tory nodded, slightly out of breath.

"I warned Silver you could not be trusted. Let this be my final lesson to you. And a more painful one than the last," Sensei Kim said, getting into her fighting stance. She glanced toward Alora and cocked her head in the direction of an emergency back door. Alora spared Tory one last almost pitiful look and then went out the door.

"Alora." She swiveled her head and saw Tian coming from the shadowy side of the building. He walked with a very small limp and had blood splattered on his clothing.

Her eyebrows creased together. "What happened?" she asked, scanning over him for any injuries. The blood on his clothes didn't seem to be his. She couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"The senseis from Miyagi-Do ambushed us. It wasn't as bad thanks to you," he nodded his head in appreciation.

"Yeah, one of their students told us that they were planning to break in and steal something from Sensei Silver's office," she explained. She heard a particularly loud yell. "I have to get back in there."

"No, you're coming with me. Silver's a goner but Sensei Kim, Sensei Kreese, and I are going back to South Korea to her grandfather's dojang."

"Master Kim Sun-Yung's dojang?" she questioned, even though she already knew the answer. "Wait. Sensei Kreese?"

He nodded. "You're gonna train for the Sekai Taikai with the best of the best. You've been learning the watered-down version but soon you will learn true Tang Soo Do."

Alora blinked for a moment, struggling to process that information. Then, she heard a crash from inside. "Okay, just let me finish this." She opened the door and dashed inside the dojo without waiting for his response.

The moment she stepped into the dojo her eyes went searching. She spotted Finlay fighting in a far corner and Amaya not too far from him. She was still in her fighting stance but she was getting backed to the wall by two of the Cobra boys who Alora hadn't cared enough to learn the names of. All karate disputes aside, that was her sister. She ran over there and grabbed one of their arms, swinging him around and flipping him over. The other one went to kick her but she quickly avoided it and blocked his next punch. She punched him, hitting his throat, and then roundhouse kicked him in the head. The other was starting to get back up so she lashed out with her elbow and knocked him in the nose and then grabbed his arm and bent it backward. She kicked him on his back and when he turned over, she pushed her foot down hard onto his neck.
