"So, it's an arcade?" Eli asks as they look around

"No." Sienna groans, "It's better than that. If I wanted an arcade, I would've went to Golf-n-Stuff."

"But there's games."

"Doesn't automatically make it an arcade." She says before looking around at them, "You guys are seriously telling me you've never been here?"

"Sienna, this place is way above anywhere I've ever been." Jamie chuckles

"I've definitely never been here." Miguel says, "This place is huge."

"Oh my god." Sienna says before grabbing Eli's arm, "Then I get to show you guys all the fun shit."

•••

The four had spent the next few hours trying out anything Sienna had pointed out to them. Jamie had never been anywhere like it, but she could admit that she was having fun. This was the only way she could've imagined celebrating her and Miguel's win.

The four were now sat outside by a railing that overlooked a river. Sienna and Eli sat across from Jamie and Miguel. Each with their own food and drink.

"Okay." Sienna says raising her glass of soda, "A toast to JJ and Miguel and to celebrating their championship win."

Eli raises his glass, "A toast to us still being friends after all the shit that's happened."

The four chuckle before Sienna looks towards Jamie. Jamie lifts her glass, "Um, a toast to accepting change and remaining friends no matter what life throws at us or where we go."

"Like Stanford." Sienna squeals as she reaches over and squeezes Jamie's hand

As Jamie laughs, Miguel raises his glass, "To becoming a world champion and finally being accepted into Stanford."

Jamie's eyes widen as she turns toward Miguel, "What?"

"You got in?" Sienna exclaims

"Yeah." Miguel chuckles

"So they saw your victory and reached out?" Eli asks

"No. No, no, no. They accepted me while I was fighting." He shrugs, "I... I guess it was in my inbox while I was on the mat."

"Oh my god. That's amazing." Jamie smiles as she sets her glass down and pulls Miguel into a hug

"You guys got into Stanford!" Sienna cheers as Eli drums lightly on the table. As they pull away, Sienna raises her glass higher, "To Stanford."

Jamie and Miguel chuckle as the four raise their glasses and lightly clink them together, "To Stanford!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the final tie-breaking match to determine the grand champion of this year's Sekai Taikai!"

"Miranda!"

Nevaeh sighs as she immediately recognizes the voice as Anthony's. Although she could feel her heart skip when he stopped in front of her, "What do you want, LaRusso?"

"I actually wanted to talk to you about something."

"Okay." Nevaeh says hesitantly

"Right. Um.." Anthony says before he sighs, "Look, I know we haven't always gotten along and most of the time anytime we spoke, we argued, but... I don't feel that way about you anymore."

"What? You don't think I'm annoying anymore?" She jokes

"No, far from it, actually." Anthony chuckles nervously. Nevaeh's brows furrow, "I- like you."

"What?" Nevaeh blurts

"I don't know. Ever since you helped me with the whole Kenny situation, I've been thinking about you. Like, all the time." Anthony rambles, "And I know it's sort of out of nowhere and you probably don't feel the same way, but-"

Anthony's eyes flutter shut as Nevaeh kisses him. The next second she pulls away and takes a small step back. Anthony's eyes snap open and Nevaeh watches as his face flushes red.

"I like you, too."

"Cool." Anthony stammers, "Awesome."

"Awesome?" Nevaeh chuckles as Anthony scratches the back of his head, "Okay. I'm gonna go get food like I was before you stopped me. You can come if you want."

Anthony blinks rapidly as she turns away, "What? Oh, yes, I'm coming."

•••

"Hey." Mikayla beams as she pulls Jamie and Sienna into a hug, "I'm so sorry I couldn't make the sleepover."

"Oh, it's no big deal." Jamie chuckles, "I'm sure we'll have another one soon."

"Definitely." Sienna scoffs before turning toward Jack, "So, you guys are like together now, right?"

Mikayla blushes as Jack turns to her, "Uh, yeah. Yeah, we are."

"Yay." Sienna cheers before she gasps, "Oh my god, we can have a triple date."

"Okay, I have to go get dressed." Jamie chuckles

"A triple date would be so fun!" Sienna exclaims as Jamie walks off. She turns to Jack and Mikayla, "It would be so fun, right?"

"Totally." Jack nods

"See." Sienna sighs, "This is why I like you, Jack."

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's my honor and privilege to inform you it's karate time." The announcer says. The crowd cheers, "Today's tie-breaking sensei match will determine which dojo wins the Sekai Taikai. And this time, we're playing by the traditional rules you know from the All Valley, where three points wins."

"First, we have the defending champions, hailing from Hong Kong, led by their sensei, the youngest fighter to ever win the Sekai Taikai. He's undefeated in seven karate circuits. He was born Feng Xiao, but you might know him better by another name. Please welcome Sensei Wolf and the Iron Dragons!"

Sensei Wolf and his students walk out to their side of the mat as the crowd cheers.

"And fighting to dethrone them is a dojo we all know well here in the Valley. Let's hear it
for the two-time All Valley champion and his dojo. It's-"

"Cobra Kai!" Someone yells from the audience

The announcer chuckles before nodding, "Well, you heard it. Please welcome the Valley's own Cobra Kai!"

Sienna, Nevaeh, Jack, and Mikayla jump up and cheer as Daniel and Chozen along with their students walk out from the back. The students jog to their side of the mat as they did in their first All Valley. They all line up as Jamie turns to the crowd.

"Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai!"

"Led by their sensei, Johnny Lawrence!"

The crowd continues to cheer as Johnny walks out and steps onto the mat. He paces in front of them before Daniel stops him, "Hey. You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Fighters, take your position." The ref says. Johnny and Wolf walk to the center of the mat, "I want a good, clean fight. The whole world is watching. Now, face me. Bow. Face each other. Bow. Ready? Fight!"

Johnny starts off kicking at Wolf. Wolf successfully blocks them along with Johnny's punches. He then dodges another kick from Johnny before smiling, "Is that all?"

He blocks two more punches and side steps Johnny, "Come on."

He blocks more offense from Johnny before pushing his arms away. As Johnny continues throwing empty punches, Wolf begins to taunt him before punching him in his stomach.

"Point, Wolf. 1-0."

"Something's wrong. I've never seen him like this. It's like he's..." Daniel starts

"Afraid." Chozen says

"Come on, Sensei!" Jamie yells

"Ready? Fight."

Johnny jumps back as Wolf runs at him. Wolf smirks before Johnny kicks at him. He blocks and dodges more kicks before Johnny stops.

"Come on, old man. Let's go."

Johnny swings at him. Wolf locks his arms before kicking him the back of the head. Johnny groans as he grabs at his head.

"Hey." Miguel yells out as the crowd boos

"No point. Illegal contact to the back of the head."

"My mistake." Wolf says

"Return. Ready? Fight."

Wolf side steps Johnny as he kicks at him again, "Pathetic."

He blocks a punch before dodging two more and then hitting Johnny in his nose.

"No point. Direct elbow to the mouth." The ref says as Johnny and Wolf walk back to their sides, "Next time, it's gonna be a one-point deduction."

"Well, I'll be more careful next time, then. I promise." Wolf nods

"Time." The ref says looking at Johnny, "You're bleeding. Go to your corner."

As Johnny walks over to his corner, Chozen steps up handing him a towel, "Oi. You must control the fight. Use angles to counter his attack."

"I'm trying. He's too fast. He's too strong." Johnny says wiping his nose

"Since when have you cared about that? Let go of the pressure." Daniel says, "I told you. It doesn't matter if you win. You just do your best."

"Yeah, yeah." Johnny mutters returning back to the center of the mat

"Playtime's over." Wolf says

"Ready? Fight!"

Johnny backs away as Wolf charges at him. He manages to dodge two kicks before Wolf turns and kicks him in the face, sending him to the ground.

"Point. Wolf, 2-0." The ref says, "One more point, and the Iron Dragons will be crowned Sekai Taikai champions."

"What's going on with him?" Jamie mutters to Miguel

"I don't know." He sighs

"He's way off balance. I'm not sure Miyagi-Do is gonna help." Daniel says

"Then try something else." Chozen says, "You know how his mind works, Daniel-san. You are his sensei. Wolf wants to obliterate him. You must do something."

"Don't worry. It'll be all over soon." Wolf says

"Fighters, take your line." The ref says, "Ready?"

"Time!" Daniel yells

"Time-out." The ref nods as Johnny and Wolf return to their corners

"Look, LaRusso, there's nothing you can say. This guy knows his shit. He's on a whole other level." Johnny says

"What dojo are you fighting for?" Daniel asks

Johnny sighs, "What?"

"What dojo are you fighting for?" Daniel repeats as he steps up to Johnny

"Cobra Kai."

"And does defeat exist in your dojo?" Daniel asks, "Does it?"

"No."

"Does fear exist in your dojo?"

"No."

"And I sure as shit know that pain doesn't exist either. So stop acting like a little pussy. Get out there and kick the living shit out of this asshole. You hear me?"

"Yes, Sensei." Johnny nods before walking back onto the mat

"Fighters, take your line." The ref says, "Ready? Fight!"

Johnny swings first. Wolf plays defense by blocks his punches before grabbing his arms, "Is that all you got?"

Johnny pushes back, turns, and kicks Wolf in his stomach.

"Point!"

"Yes!" Miguel and Jamie cheer

"Oh, yes!" Robby yells

"Yes!" Tory exclaims

"2-1." The ref says, "Fighters, take your line."

"Come on, Sensei!" Devon says

"Ready? Fight!"

Wolf blocks a punch and a kick from Johnny. He then blocks a punch before ducking under a kick. Johnny blocks a kick before the two grab ahold of the others' arm. Johnny pushes his arm away before they grab at their gi's.

"Break it up!" The ref yells

"Come on, man." Johnny says

The ref steps between them, "Break it up! Break it up."

Johnny blocks a few punches before Wolf kicks at him. Johnny blocks it before Wolf turns and knees him in his side.

"No point. Knee to the side."

As Wolf turns to perform a kick, Johnny catches him with a kick to the face.

"Point, Lawrence."

"Yes!" The Cobra Kai students cheer

"Two to two." The announcer says, "Whoever gets the next point will be our winner."

"This is the last point, Daniel-san, but Johnny looks tired." Chozen says

"Hey, time!" Daniel yells

"This is your last time-out. Go to your sideline." The ref points

"Any gas left in tank?" Chozen asks

"Enough to kick his ass." Johnny nods

"I like that you have your confidence back. Remember what you learned at Miyagi-Do. Trust me, you have to have balance. Be careful. This guy is pissed." Daniel says

"So am I." Johnny says before walking back to the mat

"Fighters, to your lines. Next point wins." The ref says

"No more delaying the inevitable." Wolf says

"Face me. Bow. Face each other. Bow. Ready?"

Johnny turns to Daniel who nods before Johnny turns back to Wolf. Johnny takes a step back.

"Fight!"

As Wolf turns a few times, Johnny continues to step back. When Wolf is close enough, Johnny drops down and sweeps his leg from under him. Wolf quickly blocks a punch before attempting to spin. Johnny does a kip up as Wolf stands. Johnny blocks a punch before turning and backhanding him.

"Point. Winner!"

Miguel and Jamie yell along with the crowd. Jamie jumps up and down as she grabs onto Miguel's arm. The two run and are the first to pull Johnny into a hug. The rest of the students run onto the mat and surround Johnny as they cheer.

Robby pulls Johnny into a hug, "You kicked his ass, Dad."

"Oh!" Johnny grunts as Devon tackles him in a hug

"You did it, Sensei."

"Nice move. You let him come to you." Daniel says

"I couldn't have done it without you." Johnny says before turning to Chozen, "You too."

The men engulf each other in a hug as Miguel and Eli turn to each other.

"Should we get him?" Miguel says

"Come on!" Eli yells before the two bend down and lift Johnny onto their shoulders

"Yeah!"

"Come on!"

"Yeah!" Johnny yells out

"Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!"

"Let me down. I need to see my girl." He says to the boys as he spots Carmen

As they let him down, Miguel is pulled into a hug by Jamie. Laughter taking over as she jumps up and down in his arms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present the grand trophy to the winners of this year's Sekai Taikai. Now officially the world's number one dojo, Cobra Kai!" Gunther announces

"Yeah!" The students cheer as Johnny is handed the trophy

"LaRusso. Get over here." Johnny says

Daniel stands beside him, "You're all right, Lawrence."

"Yeah!" Eli cheers as the two men raise the trophy

"Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai!"
