Alaskas jaw tightened as she watched the fight between Devon and Tory, Tory kicking her across the face. Alaska hummed, shaking her head as Tory scored the point.
"Come on, ref! She was out of bounds! Where are your eyes?" Johnny called his way.
"You got this, Dev!" Alaska cheered her on with an encouraging clap alongside Miguel.
"Fight!" they were encouraged again, and Devon did an extremely well job at dodging all of Torys kicks, nearly having her perfectly before Tory grasped Devon's leg, swinging her down onto the mat and announced winner. Alaska rolled her eyes. Devon stormed back over, Alaska rubbed her back as Johnny spoke. "It's all right. You did great out there today."
"I let her shut me out! I should've focused on my low game." Devon criticized herself in annoyance.
"She's being fighting like that for a long ass time, that's not your fault." Alaska reassured her with a nod.
"Exactly. There's no reason to feel bad." Jonnny agreed with the Lee girl as they looked at the younger, and smaller, fellow Lee girl.
"Oh, I don't feel bad. I only trained for six weeks." Devon laughed with a shake of her head. "I'm gonna be stomping all of these weak ass bitched next year."
"Yeah you are." Alaska encouraged with a grin.
"So, if Antartica can keep it together, we still have a chance at winning?" Johnny asked Devon, who could sum it up great.
"If the right female fighter gets eliminated against Al, and she makes it to the finals, along with Miguel, and they win, then, technically, there's a chance." Devon explained to him with a nod.
"Don't worry, sensei. I've got this in the bag." Alaska said back with a nod. "You see how easy I kicked Kylers ass?"
"Good chance." Johnny looked between her and Miguel.
A break came around, and Alaska was hurrying toward the other side of the mat to throw her arms around Eli. He was laughing. "Holy shit, Kyler looked like such an idiot."
"Did he?" she asked hopefully, the pair pulling back.
"It seems like you and Sam are gonna have to fight if she can beat Piper." he explained to her, the pair still latched close together as they talked. "Demetri and Wyatt have to fight next."
"Oh, no." Alaska gave a minor panicked look. "Wanna bet?"
"Alaska." he scolded her with a crazy look. "We can't bet on our friends."
"Cmom, it's Wy and Meat." Alaska waved him off, her head leaning against his chest now. "I still wish we were on the same time."
"We so are." he corrected her with a rub of her back. "Let me see your hands. How do they feel?"
"This one's a little sore but not bad." Alaska said as Eli examined her hands for her, talking about her healed fracture. "I need to focus on my kicks more anyways."
"Don't push yourself. If something bad happens, you tell someone." he gave her a serious look, making Alaska nod. "You've got this shit in the bag, I just told Mr.LaRusso that you're my girlfriend, he already knew, but it was cool to say out loud."
Alaska grabbed his face, pulling him into an extremely passionate kiss. There was an "Aw" that went over the crowd, the pair locking at the lips right when the break was over.
"Hey!" Zane yelled from the crowd, making the pair break off. Eli laughed as Alaska looked away, an extremely pregnant Beth sat with Daniels cousin, Vanessa, and they seemed to be hitting it off, both waving at the love struck teens.
"Okay, I gotta get back over there." Alaska nodded her head. "See you on the other side of the mat."
"I'll be the one in white." he quoted her from before, making Alaska smiled as she hurried back over, still holding her trophy.
Kody groaned as he slapped his chest, yelling their way. "You guys are killing me over here."
"Kody." Jimmy gapped at him, the presence of Alaskas parents clearly not bothering him.
"Dad, don't be so against poly relationships, it's not cool." Kody argued with a crazy look.
"Al and E are poly now?" Gina questioned oddly.
"No, i'm trying to convert them to it though." Kody nodded his head, looking back over. "I'd say i'm about thirty percent there."
Jimmy looked back at Zane. "I'm sorry."
"I hate this." Alaska watched Demetri and Wyatt bow to each other. "They're five percent away from being boyfriends."
"They'll be fine." Miguel shook his head, watching them bow at each other before taking their stance, bouncing around before Demetri had blocked Wyatt a good number of times, hitting him in the chest.
"Yeah! Demetri!" Eli yelled from the other side as he cheered.
Demetri cheeked on Wyatt, getting a nod in return. They were announced to fight again, Wyatt quickly sweeping his feet from under him and planting a hit the the chest. Eagle Fang cheered for him as they stood up, helping each other. One final round, and Demetri had tricked Wyatt into thinking he was going for the leg, ending up twisting around and hitting him in the chest.
"Winner!" the ref held Demetris arm up.
"No hard feelings?" Demetri asked as Wyatt and him bowed at each other.
"Nah, just feelings." he said back, grabbing Demetri by the face and giving him their first public kiss that hadn't been when he was with Yasmine.
"Oh! A very affectionate competition." Daryl spoke as the crowd clapped for them. "Newcomer Demetri Alexopoulos is heading to the simis!"
"You deserve this." Wyatt smiled, giving him one final grin before going back to Eagle Fang.
"You did good. Be proud." Johnny nodded, slapping his back.
"That was so sweet." Alaksa gushed at Wyatt, stabbing him in the side with her finger. "We can double date now."
"We have already double dated so many times." Wyatt laughed, putting an arm around her. "But, I think it'll be so much better if we're all finally official."
"And thank god we are." Alaska nodded her head.
"You got this, Sam! Just like we practiced!" Daniel yelled to Sam when she took the mat with Piper.
Alaska clapped loudly, looking over at Cobra Kai as her eyes latched with Robby's, breaking off right after.
Sam and Piper took their stances, Piper had struck first and ended up kicking Sam across the face, scoring the point. Alaska winced, shaking her head as she frowned at Sams discouraging look. "Come on, Sam! I believe in you, babe!"
Sam and Piper took their positions again, Sams eyes going to her dad before finding Johnny, a grin across her face as she bounced around a second, holding her fist out. When they were announced to fight, Sam had been the one to strike first, dodging Pipers hits, twisting on the ground and sending a kick into Pipers shoulder, scoring her the point.
"Yes!" Wyatt and Alaska yelled on sync. Sam gave a proud smile, her and Piper taking their positions one final time.
"Watch her fucking demolish Piper." Alaska shook her head with a proud grin.
Before Piper could even get to her, Sam turned and kicked her straight across the face, getting the point. Sam had Pipers leg, ducking under her and coming up between her legs, a punch to the chest.
"Yes!" Johnny cheered through the air for her.
"Winner!" Sams hand was held high in the air, getting cheered on.
"You sure you're gonna be able to put your emotions aside?" Johnny had to ask Alaska. "I know she's your friend, but-"
"We can be professional." Alaska promised him with a nod of her head. "Sam and I are a lot closer then what you think we are. She's my Daniel."
"You're what?" he looked oddly.
"What does this even mean?" Wyatt spoke up when Kenny and Robby were put together. "Either way, they're gonna score for Cobra Kai."
"Luck of the draw they're saying." Johnny rolled his eyes. "A load of crap if you ask me."
"For our second to last quarterfinal match, we have a real snake fight. It's Cobra Kai versus Cobra Kai!" Daryl announced as Robby and Kenny joined each other on the mat, taking their bows. Kenny had struck at Robby well, kicking his way with a load of punches, getting blocked each time, but hitting Robby in the chest.
"Oh, shit." Wyatt rose his eyebrows. "Unexpected."
Kreese called a time out, the two either hearing toward him or Terry. Alaska and Johnny watched Robby, clear rage at Kreese talking to him. Robby turned back around with a determined look in his eye, Kenny following as they stood before each other. Easily, Robby kicked Kenny in the side of the head and scored the point. Wyatt winced, they all stopped to watch Robby and Kenny take their marks again.
Kenny managed to miss a kick Robby sent his way, backing up a number of times, dodging him before Robby kicked him in the chest, winning this round. With one more, Robby had dodged every punch Kenny threw, shoving him to the side with ease as they turned again, Kenny getting angrier as he tried to hit Robby, kicking to the back, but no point was scored.
Kenny ran at Robby, getting kicked so hard in the face his small body flew against the mat. Alaska winced harshly when it happened, she immediately felt bad for Kenny, his minor pained noises and the way he held his nose showed he was badly hurt. Kenny ran off, and Alaska didn't want to, but she knew she would.
She followed him into the hallway.
"Kenny." She got his attention, looking over at her as he held his nose. "Does it feel broken?"
"I'm fine, leave me alone." he tried to get her to leave him alone.
"Tilt your head backwards to prevent a bleed." Alaska encouraged him to do so, gently touching his chin to help him lean back. "Theres an ice machine right at the end of the hall. Let me look at it."
"It's not broken. I've seen broken." Kenny said, leaning back to look at her again. "With Sensei Kreese."
Alaska had to laugh, shaking her head. "Sorry, didn't mean to laugh."
Kenny let her look over his nose, a nod leaving her. "Not broken but you're gonna have some nasty bruising. If you've got it, Aloe it when you get the chance, it'll bring down the swelling and avoid too bad of bruising."
Kenny nodded as he squeezed it again. "Thanks, I don't need pity though."
"I know you don't. You did great out there." she reassured him with a small nod. "I know maybe it doesn't seem like it, but remember you haven't been fighting as long as Robby has. You still did amazing against a lot of other guys that were twice your size."
Kenny looked at her in disbelief. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because you remind me of someone I know." Alaska scanned him over. "Don't let this shit change who you are. That sweet kid that ate guac and wings with me is still in there, don't let that disappear."
"Alaska." Johnny came around the corner, a knowing look on his face. "It's your turn."
Alaska took a breath, looking back to Kenny before turning. As she walked in, her eyes were on Sam, waiting for her on the mat. Her blue ones stared back at Alaskas brown ones, the two sharing a look. The Lee girl joined her, taking a breath. Sam nodded. "We're okay?"
"We're amazing." Alaska promised her, the pair latching their hands together for a second. "Whatever happens-"
"Nothings gonna change us." Sam cut her off, and Alaskas nodded in agreement.
"Face me, bow." the ref encouraged, Sam and Alaska doing so. "Face each other, bow."
Sam and Alaska took a similar breath when they bowed to each other. "Fight!"
Alaska and Sam lingered for a moment, the taller girl kicking toward Sam as she was blocked, doing it once again. Sam backed out of the way when Alaska swung at her, making her stumble slightly before they faced each other again. With a final kick, Sam had Alaska in a perfect position, hitting her in the chest. "Point."
Sam nodded to Alaska in questioning, getting one back. They were set against each other again, bowing before the fight started for a second round, Alaska spinning on her heels to jump off her back heels, her right leg flying over Sam's head when she ducked, but when it touched the mat, the left one side kicked her in the face. "Point!"
"Sam." Alaska looked worried as she held her nose a second. "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay." Sam nodded her head, twitching her nose. "That was good."
Alaska smiled, nodding her head as they were set together once again, bowing and facing each other. There was a linger in the air, like they were seeing each other in a new light, in a slower universe. Their breathing was uneven, on different beats, but their eyes were locked. They bowed, and reality was back, moving as quick as it once did before. "Fight!"
Sam struck first, taking Alaska off guard as she backed up, ducking down and trying to kick her again, Sam caught her leg with a shove. They stumbled before facing each other again.
"I feel like throwing up." Demetri shook his head from next to Eli.
Alaska punched toward Sams shoulder, having her fist being grabbed as Sam twisted her around. She was attempting to spin her the other way, but Alaska feet pushed deep into the mat, leaning back against Sam as she found her arms, pulling her over her own shoulder and had the LaRusso girl on the mat, punching her in the chest.
"Winner!" the ref held Alaskas arm up, and it shocked her to the core.
"Sam." Alaska kneeled next to her. "Did I hurt you bad?"
"No." Sam sat up, taking Alaskas hands to help her to her feet, wrapping her arms around her. "Take this thing home."
Alaska hugged her back with a smile as Daryl spoke through the mic. "Alaska Lee is taking Eagle Fang to the finals for the All Valley Girls Competition!"
