Jamie and Miguel pull away as Sienna taps at the girls shoulder.

"Hi, so I'm glad you guys are enjoying yourselves, but there's a fight going on outside." Sienna says

"What?" Jamie frowns as she starts to stand up. Miguel sighs before following behind her.

The teens make their way outside as other kids start to crowd around. As they push their way through, they see Sam and Tory going back and forth.

"You knew that Silver cheated at the All Valley and you did nothing?" Sam yells pushing Tory back

"You don't know what it's like in there, what I've had to deal with."

Tory pushes Sam's arm away before Sam kicks Tory back into a trash can. She goes to kick her again, but Tory moves out of the way.

"My entire family has suffered because of you!" Sam snaps as she tries to go at Tory, but Miguel and Robby push them back.

"No! Sam, that's enough!" Miguel says

"She's been working with Kreese this whole time." Sam says

The two boys turn to Tory as she breathes heavily. As Tory looks around, her eyes land on Jamie who has an unreadable expression on her face.

"What?" Robby says

"Why did you only come forward now? Huh? Because you're a coward."

Tory looks over again at Jamie before turning back to Sam, "Screw you, LaRusso. I knew this was a mistake."

As she storms off, Jamie comes forward.

"Tory." Robby tries, but the girl was already gone

Jamie looks over to Miguel who looks confused. Sam huffs from behind him before grabbing her bag and storming off.

"Did you know about any of this?" Miguel asks

"No." Robby shakes his head, "I had no idea."

Miguel mumbles to himself as he looks around. Jamie turns as Sienna comes up on her side, "What the hell just happened?"

"I don't know." Jamie sighs

______________________________________

Last night had replayed in Jamie's mind the rest of that night and well into the morning. She could've won the All-Valley and become champion if it weren't for Cobra Kai.

She truly didn't know how to feel. She was upset because an amazing opportunity was stripped from her. She was also angry because she hadn't expected Tory to lie to her.

Even though they were on different sides of this, she thought that the time they did spend together while Jamie was in Cobra Kai had solidified a small friendship between them.

All these different questions were plaguing her mind so badly that she hadn't paid much attention to what was in front of her. The teens stood at Miyagi-Do as they explained the situation to a Demetri and Bert.

Miguel looks over to Jamie whose eyes were on the ground and her mind was elsewhere. Sienna stood beside Eli across from them. She could also tell that Jamie wasn't present in the conversation.

"W-w-wait. Okay, so Sensei Targaryen paid off the ref at the All Valley and framed Kreese for a crime he didn't commit?" Demetri says looking around, "Never let me miss a house party again."

"We need to tell the senseis." Miguel says

"What are they gonna do?" Sienna and Sam say at the same time. Sienna groans to herself at the simultaneousness.

"We saw what happened to my dad when he confronted Silver. I don't want him getting hurt again." Sam says

"Besides, if this ref and Stingray are on Silver's payroll, they'll never admit anything." Demetri says

"I'm not so sure about that." Bert says, "I know he's in Cobra Kai and I'm in Eagle Fang, but Stingray's still my friend. He wouldn't lie to me. At least, I hope he wouldn't."

"That's what you think." Sienna says

Eli looks to her before turning back to Bert, "Think you can you get him to talk?"

Bert nods as Sam looks to him, "Find out where he lives."

"Let's go." Eli says as he starts to walk off with Demetri and Bert. Sam wasn't too far behind them as Miguel and Sienna linger with Jamie. The girl still hasn't spoken or even looked up from the ground.

"JJ?" Sienna says. Jamie immediately looks up as she blinks rapidly. Her brows furrow as she looks around and notices everyone else was gone.

"Sorry." She mumbles

"Are you okay?" Miguel asks

"Yeah, I'm fine." She nods, "What are we doing?"

"Bert's gonna go find out where Stingray lives. He thinks he can get him to talk."

Jamie nods as she starts toward the gate. Miguel and Sienna watch her before Sienna sighs.

"She's in her head." She says as Miguel looks at her, "She's gonna be okay."

Miguel nods as Sienna starts to make her way after Jamie. It's not long before he follows after her.

The teens were now stood outside of Stingray's door. He swings the door open only expecting Bert, but the other teens make their way into his line of vision causing him to stop his movements.

"Miyagi-Fangs?" He says before his eyes widen, "Oh, this is a trap. Oh, you Admiral Ackbar-ed me. Et tu, Bert-tay?"

"Knock it off." Eli interrupts, "We know Kreese never hurt you."

"According to my testimony in a court of law, he did. So read the transcript." He says. He goes to close the door on them, but Sam stops him.

"You lied to the court, and you lied to my dad, but you're not going to lie to us." She says before walking in

Jamie and Sienna turn to one another with a look only the two of them could decipher. Sienna sighs loudly as Jamie raises her brows.

"You're just gonna let her-" Stingray starts, but is cut off by the other teens walking in as well, "Okay, now you're all walking in."

______________________________________

All of the teens were more than annoyed.

They've tried so many times to get Stingray to confess, but he wasn't budging. Sienna was probably the most annoyed out of all of them seeing as she wasn't even in karate and she was stuck here with some random guy waiting for him to open his mouth and just tell the truth.

She groans as she sits back in her chair. She was sat between Demetri and Sam as Eli stood behind her.

She looks up at Jamie who stood behind Demetri with Eli and Miguel at her sides. Her best friend looked back to her with the same annoyed expression.

"Okay, okay. All right. Let's try this one more time, okay?" Demetri says, "What happened that night? Who hurt you?"

Stingray ignores him as he stares at Bert, "Hey, Bert, how does it feel?"

"Oh my god." Sienna mumbles as her eyes close

"Look. Look at me. Look at me." Demetri tries

"To stab a grown man in the back between his shoulders blades and stare at the blood as it trickles down his back?" Stingray says

"God, enough!" Eli yells. Sienna jumps from her spot as he leans forward slamming his hand on the table, "No more games."

"My dad went through a lot of pain because of you and Silver. Now a lot of other people will too if you just sit back and do nothing." Sam says

"But if I tell you what really happened, you know, he-he'll find out. I can't. It's not that easy, you guys."

The teens sigh as he looks down. His brows furrow before he looks up, "Actually, there- Um, wait. Okay, so I've been working on this new D&D campaign-"

"I don't think we have time for this." Miguel says as he starts to turn away

"Wait a minute." Eli says as his eyes widen slightly in realization, "What happens in the campaign, Stingray?"

Sienna looks up toward him with a bewildered expression, but his eyes stay on Stingray. Jamie rubs at her eyes as he starts.

"Okay, so, once upon a time, there was a Dwarven monk, and he was a member of the most badass guild in all the land." He says holding up a figure, "Uh, he was banished for a time. You know, typical PC crap, but, um, once he paid his penance, he returned."

"Only by then, the guild was under new leadership." He says setting two figures on the board in front of him, "And the monk was denied reentry into the guild. And quite unceremoniously, might I add."

"So, what did the monk do? The monk, he made a pact with a silver-haired king," He says pulling out another figure and using it to knock down one of the figures already on the board, "who would usurp the leader. And it was early one morning, before any of the warriors had arrived, that the king struck the monk down. Again, and again, and again."

"It was then that they framed the leader for the assault, and the leader was put in chains, and the silver-haired king took over the guild."

"And you were," Demetri stops, but chuckles, "The Dwarven monk was let back into the guild?"

"Yeah. With benefits." Eli says looking around

"Aye. With benefits, yeah." Stingray says with a small smile

"So why can't he just tell everyone what really happened?" Miguel says

"Because he doesn't wanna lose his benefits." Sam snaps as she stands up causing Jamie and Sienna to roll their eyes.

"No! No. I would the- the monk would give it all back if he could, but the-the silver-haired king, you know, he- he almost killed the monk." Stingray stammers, "He could have killed him."

"And why? To get power." Stingray says, "So, yeah, the monk fears what that king would do to keep that power. I think the monk just- the monk just wanted reentry into the guild because he thought that he could be like a- like a proud and noble warrior."

"Just like you, Hawk, Samantha, all you guys, but he's neither proud nor noble. Definitely not a warrior. He just sits around playing with them all day. The monk's just scared. I just can't. I'm sorry."

"That's great. Thanks for nothing." Sam spits before she storms out. Jamie huffs before following after her. Miguel's eyes widen as he watches her before he turns to Sienna who looks just as taken aback.
