"I'm getting nervous." Odessa whispered to Hailey. 
Robby was to the point of training where he didn't need to use his hands. He dodged Kenny's kick by ducking down, his hands staying by his side. It was like in slow motion when Kenny ran forward and Robby did a full 360, his foot kicking Kenny hard in the face and he let out a loud yell. 
Odessa gasped loudly and covered her mouth. Kenny laid on the mat holding his nose and he thought it may be broken. The referee helped him up and the young boy ran off the mat into the back room. Odessa stared at Robby in disbelief. She realized just how deep Kreese's hooks were in him.  
The next fight was Hailey and Tory. Hailey didn't have a worry in the world. She had been waiting for this moment.
"Up next in quarterfinals is Tory Nichols of Cobra Kai versus Hailey Cooper of Eagle Fang. And I can tell this is going to be intense!" Daryl announced. 
"Oh, you have no idea." Hailey commented as she walked on the mat. 
Grayson leaned down to Odessa. "You as nervous as I am?" He questioned while keeping his worried eyes on his girlfriend. 
"I might be more."
Tory and Hailey glared at each other as they stood on the mat. They got in their fighting stances and the referee blew the whistle. Tory automatically went in for a kick but Hailey ducked down and moved to the other side. She wasted no time throwing punches and backing Tory into a corner, her first going into her chest.
"Point, Cooper!" The referee said and held up Hailey's hand.
The Eagle Fang's cheered loudly. "That's my girl!"  Grayson cheered while clapping.
"Good job, Hails!" Thalia called out from the crowd. 
Tory looked behind her at Kreese. He gave her a curt nod and she knew the look on his face. She nodded firmly. When the referee yelled fight, Hailey lunged forward but Tory did a spin kick and hit Hailey across the face, making her fly backward.   
Tory won and Odessa's eyes widened. Hailey came storming off the mat in anger. Before Tory left the mat, her eyes met Odessa's and that's when they both realized that they were only girls left. They were the last female fight. 























"And now our first semi final match will be Miguel Diaz of Eagle Fang versus Eli Moskowitz of Miyagi-Do!"
Odessa shook Miguel's shoulders and said words of encouragement to get him ready. "Good luck. Stay focused. But whatever you do, just makes sure he still looks pretty when you're done." She said all at once. 
He chuckled.  "Whatever you say, Dess."
She patted his shoulders and smiled brightly. "Okay. Go get 'em, tiger!"
But Johnny had more to say. "All right, you can do this. You've beaten Hawk before. Remember that killer instinct. Take his ass out."
Miguel narrowed his eyes. What? Take his ass out?Hawk is my friend."
"He's fighting for Larusso. He picked his side."  Johnny stood his ground. "Who's side are you on?" 
"Yours." The boy answered hesitantly. 
"Are you sure? Hawk may be your friend but if you want to win this, you have to beat him." 
"Who's side are you on?" Miguel shot his way and Johnny's face softened. 
His team clapped him on the back. "Good luck!" They all threw at him. 
"I'm on your side, Diaz. Always." Said Johnny before Miguel walked onto the mat.
