Sam, the Alexopoulos brothers, Chris, Nathaniel, Evan, the Gouldman brothers, Alyssa, Amy, and the Toguchi siblings were practicing at Miyagi-Do. Sam was practicing her moves on a punching bag. "Easy, save some for Cobra Kai." Demetri suggested. "Yeah, if we're actually allowed to stand up to them." Sam scoffed.

"Hey everyone. Gather around, I have news. The All Valley committee just announced big changes for the tournament." Daniel suddenly showed up and explained.

"What kind of changes?" Sam asked.

"Well, see for yourself. It's a whole new ball game." Daniel gave Sam a paper with information about the changes to the All-Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament.

"They're introducing skills competitions?" Bradon asked.

"Yep." Daniel answered.

"Kata, board breaking, weapons display?" Demetri asked.

"And there's gonna be a separate girls' division. So that means..." Sam said.

"There'll be two All Valley champs." Daniel explained.

"But wait, what does that mean for the bet with Cobra Kai?" Chris asked.

"There's a Grand Champion trophy for whichever dojo wins the most points." Daniel explained. "All I know is the girls' division is mine." Sam was confident that would win.

"Well that just leaves the skills and the boys. I'm counting on you guys." Daniel reminded the Miyagi-Do students.

"Who, us?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, we're a bunch of Rudys. Sure, we're good for the occasional inspirational moment, but we're not exactly center mat material." Demetri explained.

"We were better off with Miguel and Hawk." Chris said. He and the Miyagi-Do students really missed training with Eagle Fang.

"Yeah, or he who shall not be named. Rhymes with "Dobby."" Demetri was referring to Robby.

"Look, I know you're missing some of your friends. And of course I wish Robby was here. But it's time to put the past behind us, all right? Don't worry. By the time the tournament comes around, you're gonna realize this was the best thing that could've happened to us." Daniel assured his students.


Meanwhile, Johnny and Miguel, the Lawrence sisters, Bert, Penis Breath, Dirk, Logan, Ethan, Clara, the Sutherland siblings, Charlie, Aurora, and Anna were at an abandoned warehouse, which was the Eagle Fang dojo.

"This is the worst thing that could've happened. Skills competition, bullshit. Kata isn't karate. It's dancing. What's this girls' division? Thought they were all about women's lib. They ought to man up and take a punch like the rest of us." Johnny huffed.

"Sensei, we already got a lot of chicks but the more the merrier." Izzy suggested.

"Fine. Do any of you know any girls?" Johnny asked, but no one said anything. "Of course you don't know any girls." Johnny scoffed.

"There's this girl from the debate team." Bert suggested.

"Debate team? We need killers, not more nerds like my daughters." Johnny reminded Bert. "All right, go run some laps. Maybe it'll jog your memories. Try not to breathe too much. There's black mold in the corner."

Everyone but Miguel started running laps in the warehouse. "Look, Sensei, I-I know things got heated at Miyagi-Do, but with these new changes, I think having Sam on our team would really help. Maybe if you talk to Mr. LaRusso..." Miguel explained, but Johnny cut him off. He wanted nothing to do with Miyagi-Do. "I have nothing to say to him, alright. We're better off without him. It's time for us to take care of our own business. We'll find a girl champ, don't worry. All right, now get running."

"Yeah." Miguel started running.
