TODAY. Today was the day that Gwen looked forward to the most... The All Valley tournament. "Welcome to the 51st annual All Valley Under-18 Karate Tournament!" The crowd erupted in cheers, Gwen standing in line with the rest of the Cobra's.
She had her black karate gi on with her hair tied up, ready to fight with all of her energy. Her two sensei's stood in front of their students.
"All your training has brought you to this moment." Kreese began, "Remember, if you win, you don't just get a trophy. You get the glory," He told them.
"And you get to know forever that you are a champion. I have had students with all the talent in the world squander their moment. Do not let history repeat itself. Do not let your emotions cloud your judgment," He glanced at Gwen, Tory and Robby. "And above all, do not let anything stand in the way of your victory."
Silver stepped forward. "Just to be clear, that's not a pep talk. That's an order. And we're all gonna follow Sensei Kreese's orders today, aren't we?"
"Yes, Sensei."
"Aren't we?"
"Yes, Sensei!" They repeated clearer and louder this time.
Silver clapped his hands with a smirk. "Let's go win this! Come on!" The team erupted in cheers, Gwen wrapping an arm around Tory's shoulder with determination.
The skills competition was the easy part for Gwen. It went by fast, each student showing off their skill. Gwen did the demonstration of nunchucks and the martial arts of them.
The crowd cheered for the girl when she was done, her spectating the crowd before finding her mom that was jumping up and down in joy. She smiled and walked off.
