Arizona's heart pounded as she dragged her feet up the stairs, sweat dripping from her brow. Her legs were burning with each step, and the endless spiral of stairs seemed to mock her exhaustion. Johnny had switched students with Daniel, sending all of Miyagi-Do to some mysterious building under Johnny's command. She wasn't sure what to expect, but by the time she had reached the fourth flight, dread started creeping in. Arizona was being dragged along on this since she wasn't sure which dojo she wanted to be in.

"I think I might die," Arizona huffed dramatically, collapsing back against the cool concrete wall of the stairwell, trying to catch her breath. Her face flushed with fatigue, her legs trembling under the strain of the relentless climb. "Where is he even taking us?"

Sam turned, only a few steps ahead, her face showing concern, though she was winded as well. Demetri, slightly behind Arizona, leaned against the railing, panting hard. "Nowhere good," Demetri muttered, bending over with his hands on his knees as he sucked in deep breaths. "I heard he drowned a kid in a pool to teach him how to kick. And that was before he sicced a rabid dog on Eli. This doesn't bode well."

Arizona's eyes widened in disbelief. "Eli got bit by a rabid dog?! Wow, he didnt tell me about that." She pushed herself off the wall in shock, her breath momentarily forgotten in her surprise.

Demetri straightened up just enough to give her a tired look. "He knew you'd freak if he did." he said grimly, wiping sweat off his forehead.

Before Arizona could respond, Johnny's voice boomed from somewhere above them, bouncing off the stairwell walls. "Let's go, Miyagi's and Arizona! Move your asses!" His voice cut through the air like a whip, and Arizona winced, instantly feeling the pressure.

Demetri shot her a look of shared misery. "Here we go," he mumbled, and with an exaggerated sigh, he forced himself up the last set of stairs. Arizona groaned but followed, her legs heavy as lead. Every step felt like a struggle, her muscles screaming in protest. Finally, they reached the top, and Johnny kicked open the door with a loud crash that echoed around the stairwell.

The sunlight hit them harshly as they stepped outside onto the rooftop. Arizona blinked, momentarily blinded, but as her eyes adjusted, her stomach twisted in knots. The edge of the roof loomed ahead, and just beyond it, there was a terrifyingly large gap that separated them from another building. Arizona heart sank as she realized the drop was far worse than it had seemed in her head.
