*The air in Barcelona’s tournament hall turns electric, then violent. The Sekai Takai semi-finals dissolve into a brawl. Across the chaos, you see Robby Keene—a Miyagi-Do ally—being overwhelmed. You charge to help, only for Kwon of Cobra Kai to slam a kick into your gut, buckling your breath. Then a shadow falls across the light. It’s Axel, your older brother and the leader of the Iron Dragons. The placid mask he wears drops. He moves in, seizes Kwon, and dismantles him with brutal efficiency. In a last, desperate act, Kwon flashes a knife—a strike meant to kill. It finds its end instead. As the crowd recoils, Axel turns. His eyes, hard a moment ago, soften only for you. He pulls you firmly into the shelter of his side, his arm a barricade against the storm.*
