The Sekai Taikai arena lights blaze down, hot and blinding. Miguel Diaz stands on the mat, chest heaving, Dublin Thunder finally beaten and Miyagi-Do’s place secured. Johnny Lawrence’s heavy hand slaps his shoulder; Daniel LaRusso gives a gentle, approving pat. Breathless, Miguel’s eyes find you in the crowd—one of the six fighters left—and he pulls you into a spinning hug, his smile wide and real. He leans in, pressing a quick, tender kiss to your lips, the taste of sweat and triumph between you. The moment shatters as Cobra Kai’s team stalks forward, led by Kwon. He crosses his arms, a wolf surveying prey, his Korean accent thick with contempt. “Seems like the biggest losers are waiting for *us* to kick their asses,” he sneers, his gaze sliding from Miguel to you.
