After Daniel's first fight, and win, they walk over to watch Bobby's. Clara just watches him because he is her brother and the other three to know who they are fighting against. Daniel's mother joined them after a while on the mat, watching with them Bobby's fight.

The boy swipes the other's legs laying him fall, while the others look at the fight with concern, Clara cheers for her brother. Johnny and the other Cobra Kai's stand on the other end, smirking at the fight. Clara's eyes meet Johnny's ever so often and the exchanges small smiles.

Bobby gets mad out of nowhere and tries attacking the other boy without the allowance of the referee. "You're dead!"

The referee continues the fight and Bobby kicks the boy to the ground. Making him win the fight.

Johnny is next, he throws Clara, who is watching his fight, a soft smile which she returns along with an thumbs up. Neither of them were able to see each other that day, because his sensei wouldn't leave him out of sight, so they try to use every second they have to smile at the other.

Both contestants bow, and the boy attack Johnny. The blonde holds his arm, pulls the boy down and kicks his head. He wins his fight as well.

Daniel's next fight was against a Cobra Kai boy, both exchange some kicks, before the Cobra Kai boy goes down. Making Daniel win the fight.

This goes on and on. Daniel fights, Johnny fights, Bobby fights, and all the other Cobra Kai boys as well.

Daniel then has to fight Dutch. Dutch kicks Daniel in the face almost immediately after the referee starts the fight. Daniel then kicks his stomach, winning the fight.

Mr. Miyagi takes the boy aside. Daniel holds the side of his stomach, where Tommy has hit him during their fight earlier. "I never thought I'd get this far."

"Make two of us." Tells the man him, making Clara snicker. "Three." She points out smirking. Daniel ignores her comment. "Wouldn't it be great if I won?"

"It'd be great if you survive." Comments Mr. Miyagi. Daniel looks confused at the man. "What do you mean 'survive'?"

"Hey, you sure you're okay?" Ali runs up to the three, she turns to Daniel looking conceded at him. "I'm fine as long as I don't move."

"Well then I am sorry to tell you that they are starting." Tells Clara him, patting his arm. The three of them walk to the the sign in stand. Daniel keeps asking concerned about why he wouldn't survive.

"Ladies and Gentleman, may I have your attention, please. This is the first semi-final match of the afternoon. Defending champion John Lawrence of the Cobra Kai." The host walks around stage announcing Johnny at which Clara claps excited. "Two time winner of the All Valley Under-18 Golden Trophy. He'll be facing Darryl Vidal of the Locust Valley Karate Club. Three points wins. Contestants, ease come to the ring. Good luck, gentlemen."

The fight starts, both Johnny and Darryl seem to be just doing fine for the fist seconds. They block and kick, while the Cobra Kai boy's motivate him. "You got this, Johnny." Shouts Clara.

Johnny, takes the other boy's leg and pushes him to the ground, gaining point. The fight continues and once again Johnny gains a point. After getting his final point without giving Darryl any chance, he wins his match. Johnny smiles triumphing at Clara, whose eyes to with pride for the boy, she give sbim another thumps up as be walks back to Kreese.

"The next semi-final determines who will face the defending champion. Will Daniel LaRusso, of Miyagi-do Karate." The girl smiles ecouranging at Daniel while clapping. And Bobby Brown of the Cobra Kai..." The host continues his speech, but Clara's eyes are fixed on her brother and his sensei. They are talking and it doesn't look like he likes what the sensei is telling him. She bites her lips concerned for Daniel, she knows how cruel Kreese can be, and she doesnt6think that Bobby will dismiss Kreese's command. "Let's go, fellas. Good luck." Announces the host enthusiastically.

Daniel walk in the ring, same as Bobby. She throws her twin a tight smile when their eyes meet. His are full of regret for what is about to happen. The fight starts and the fist thing Bobby does his kick Daniel's leg as hard as he can, making the boy fall.
The four of the run up the the boys, Bobby kneels next to Daniel. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it." Explains Bobby. He gets grabbed and pulled off of him, while he keeps shouting 'I'm sorry'. Daniel holds his leg painfully repeating it over and over again. "Mr. Miyagi, my leg hurts." Mr. Miyagi tries to sootch Daniel while a Doctor kneels next to Daniel looking at his leg.

"Bobby Brown of the Cobra Kai has been disqualified for excessive and deliberate contact. Under rule 41- 2 Daniel LaRusso has 15 minutes to return to the ring." Two men Carrie Daniel off the mat, while Ali, Clara and Mrs. LaRusso quickly follow. "If LaRusso is unable to return John Lawrence will win by default."

Inside the locker room, a Doctor looks at Daniel's knee. "I'll inform the judges. You did well out there, young man." Tells the Doctor him, patting his thigh. The man and the security guards leave the room, leaving the two LaRusso's, Ali, Mr. Miyagi, and Clara alone with him.

Daniel his the bed he is lying on. "Damn it."

"Honey, forget it. You were great. I couldn't be prouder. It was just bad luck" Tells his mum him. She and Ali walked up to Daniel when the men left, Miyagi and Clara stayed a bit farther away. The girl gas her arms crossed and looks at the three.

"You would have won if they hadn't cheated." Clara looks at the ground feeling ashamed that her brother did this to him, even though he didn't exactly mean it. "Just leave me alone for a minute." Asks Daniel.

"We'll be outside." His mother kisses his forehead and leads the other outside. "Mr. Miyagi..." Holds Daniel the man back. "You think I had chance of winning?" Clara waits in the door on the older man. "Win, lose, no matter."

"That's not what I mean." Says Daniel. Mr. Miyagi leans down a bit. "Hai, had food chance." He then tells him making Clara smile slightly.

"Well, can you fix my leg with that thing you do?" Asks Daniel, Clara raises an eyebrow at his question. "No need fight anymore." Tell the man him. "You proved a point." Clara feels like this conversations wasn't meant for her hears anymore and walks further away, thinking about the events. Footsteps take her out of her thoughts, she turns around to see Daniel and Mr. Miyagi approaching. Clara looks surprised at the two.

Mr. Miyagi sees her confused glare, answering it quickly. "Boy, will compete." Clara nods, she doesn't need to hear anymore. She smiles at Daniel proudly, happy that he will fight for what he wants. "Great, then hurry up."
