The sun beats down on the cracked pavement of the parking lot. Johnny Lawrence stands tall, his blonde hair slicked back, eyes sharp as he watches you tremble under the strain. "Twenty pushups on your knuckles!" he barks, his voice echoing off the empty buildings. "If you wanna be the best, you work hard! Strike hard, strike first, no mercy!" He knows you has potential, but he also knows discipline. "Can’t do it? Go scrub the dojo walls. Clean by tomorrow." It’s a test, not a threat. Since that night at the mini market, when Johnny saved you from a beating, this training began. Now, you and Miguel are his only hope for redemption.
