Zane was standing with the rest of the students at the junkyard plus Javi he decided to listen to Zane and he joined the dojo, they all looked up at their sensei who was standing on two destroyed cars drinking from a coors can before finally speaking. "You've trained hard. You've gotten stronger, tougher, faster. You've done your best. You're ready for this tournament, am i right?" he said speaking to each one of his student's asking them a question.
"Yes, sensei!" they yelled. "Wrong!" he yelled throwing the can he was holding in his hand at them. "You're best aint shit! If you wanna win the All Valley under- eighteen karate tournament, You gotta give me better than your best. Which is why from now on you're gonna get my worst. Do you understand?" He asked "Yes sensei they yelled back in reply. "Are you losers?!" he yelled. "No, sensei!"They replied "Are you nerds?" He asked "No, sensei!" They yelled back. "Are you sure?" he asked. "No, sensei!" they all replied but Zane.
Their sensei put his hands on his face in disappointment, he quickly made them start training making them run through tires. Giving them chairlegs and other weapons. "Your enemies are all around you. destroy them!" he said letting them hit car windows and all other things in the junkyard. Then he made them balance on a long piece of metal that served as a kind of tight rope, that had sharp pieces of metal and glass on and under it.
Then he gave them all beef jerky "You wanna win? You gotta be hungry. you guys hungry?" he asked them "Yes sensei!" they shouted in reply though they were unsure. he took a bite of the jerky looking at the smugly, "Well good, cause so are they." He said pulling a dog whistle out of his pocket blowing into it. Zane heard barking not seeing anything, but that was enough for him, he immediately started running causing the others to split up as well all running in different directions.
Some jumping over cars others running blindly, while Zane climbed up a pile of cars until he knew he wouldn't have a teeth marks on his ass. Hawk on the other hand wasn't so lucky he ended up getting a bite in the ass, Making their sensei and Zane wince. Later that day Zane and miguel where sparring in the dojo, their sensei made them stay late that day so no one else was there.
Miguel threw a roundhouse kick aimed at Zanes body, he saw through it quickly swatting it away throwing a quick punch to Miguel's body landing it crisply to the gut making miguel drop. "Ok! That's enough. Save some for the tournament." he said said walking from the office at the end of the fight. "Why are we the only one's here, Sensei?" Miguel asked panting, Zane extended his hand for his friend who quickly took it. "Let's face it, you two are the only chance i got at winning this thing." he said bluntly.
"Well, of course we are. I'm me and this here is Miggy." Zane said smiling. Johnny shook his head and said "It's not really saying much, Have you seen the others?" MIguel walked away heading towards his phone looking at it chuckling. "What's so funny?" their sensei asked. "He must of gotten a text from his girlfriend, Kids they grow up so fast." Zane said wiping an imaginary tear from his eye, looking away.
Miguel let out a laugh before moving to show their sensei what made him laugh. "Oh, nothing, just this funny picture my girlfriend posted." He said showing him his phone. "Wait a second." He said snatching the phone from Miguel. looking through a few photos, "Is that Daniel LaRusso's daughter?" he asked seriously. "Yeah you know samantha?" he asked confused "You're dating a LaRusso?" he said with the same seriousness "Yeah, why? is something wrong?" he asked with the same confusion.
Zane hearing this decided it was time for him to go "Alright I'm gonna let you two talk this out I'm out." Miguel and Johnny both nodded and Zane left getting into his car. he sat in his car as he texted his girlfriend, "Babe you tryna go on a date?" she didn't reply for few seconds but then he heard ding "Sure baby what do you want to do?" she asked "You down for a movie?" he asked in reply "Yeah when are you picking me up?" she asked him "In like a hour. Driving home now."" he said putting his phone down.
He drove off afterwards heading home, showering then changing. He wore a white T-shirt, a black graphic hoodie, ripped blue jeans, and Air Jordan eleven retros. He left his hair alone putting on his small gold hoop earrings, he walked out of his room and saw his dad in the living room. "I'm going out with Issy." he told him about to walk out the door.
"You telling me, Or you asking me?" he asked angrily. Zane turned around looking at his dad. "My bad. I forgot to ask." His dad calmed down a bit. "I don't give a damn, but you for damn sure better tell me before you do it dude real shit." Zane nodded "I'm sorry won't happen again." Zane said apologetically. "Ight bruh get out." Zane's dad said annoyed. Zane complied quickly heading out the door, he walked towards his car quickly getting in driving off before his dad somehow changed his mind.
