From the crowd, Thalia clapped her hands and cupped them around her mouth. "Knock ''em dead, baby!" She shouted. She was sitting with Carmen and Rosa.

Her team shook her by the shoulders and threw encouraging words at her. Johnny patted her on the back. "Make them eat crow, kid."

She smirked and the cheers followed her as she walk onto the mat. Miguel, Mitch, and Grayson followed behind her. They would be holding up the boards for her. The routine she practiced was having Mitch stand at the bottom, Miguel standing in the middle on a cinder block, and Grayson standing on two since he was the tallest. She would be attempting to kick all three of them down the line in one motion.

"Let's go, babe!" Eli cheered from his side and all of his teammates followed.

"Wipe the floor with them, Dess!" Shouted Oliver.

"Good to go, Dess?" Miguel asked.

Odessa sucked in a breath and shook her hands "Yeah, I'm good."

"Are you sure?" Grayson repeated his question.

"I'm positive."

Everyone watched carefully as they got ready. The three boys held up the boards in front of them. Odessa stood there for a minute and looked at Jonny, who nodded encouraging. She then found her mom in the audience and she blew her a kiss. Hailey and Bert who were practically clutching onto each other. She nodded to herself and then to the boys. She sucked in another deep breath. "Hai!" She shouted loudly. Odessa turned her body and looked over her shoulder, turning her front leg and pulled the other in front and jumped as high as she could go off the ground. Her leg going through all three boards with precision. She landed on the ground with a clean landing. "HAI!"

Everyone in the stands lifted themselves out of their seats. Thalia screamed and shook Carmen's arm out of excitement.

"Yes! That's my girlfriend!" Eli announced loudly and jumped up and down. "WHOO!"

Odessa's eyes widened and all the boys surrounded her in a group hug. "That was badass, Odessa!" Mitch exclaimed.

"I knew you could do it!" Miguel added with a happy smile on his face.

Grayson shook her by the shoulders and she smiled heavily. They walked off the sat and her team surrounded her with encouragement.

"Well how about that? This girl just proves she's the most badass girl in the Valley!" Daryl screamed enthusiastically.

From across the mat, the Cobra Kai's stared at the girl in envy. All but one, who was having to hide the grin on his face.

After more skills, it was Eli's turn. "Go, Eli! You got this!" Odessa shouted into her hands and the boy blew a kiss.

Nate got on Chris's shoulders and held the board he was holding high in the air. Two others boys stood on his sides and held the boards they had out in front of them. Demetri stood in front of him, holding out his board. Eli got in his fighting stance and punched through the first board with ease, shouting out loudly.  He throwing another punch at the one beside him and a side kick to the other.

When it came to the high kick, Eli threw his leg up but it wasn't strong enough to break through it. Odessa's smile dropped along with her hands that covered her mouth. She sighed sadly, knowing he was feeling embarrassed. The crowd groaned.

"It's okay, Eli." Oliver clapped for him anyway and patted him on the back when he came back to the team side.

It was like after his failed skill, other's started to fail as well. Mitch ended up throwing his stick and almost poking a judges eye out making the Eagle Fang's groan in disappointment.
