I arrive in the old warehouse with my moped and see the three dojo's fighting each other. I honk at them and some people stop fighting, the light shining brightly into their eyes. Miguel holds his hand over his eyes.
-Y/N? He asks. I turn of the engine and step off, taking off my helmet in the motion.
-What are you doing!? I scream at them. Everyone stops and looks petrified at me.
-What in the flying fuck are you doing!? I ask a bit louder. I see that many of them are bleeding and probably has some broken bones.
-Shit... I hear a whisper and people look towards the culprit... it's hawk. He looks ashamed down at the ground. I see dripping blood from his face. Then it all hits me... they're all bleeding heavily.
-Stop fighting and sit down, I say, walking back towards my moped. I hear a scoff.
-I don't wanna sit next to a Cobra! Demetri says.
-I don't care where you sit, just sit down on your asses! I say and lift the seat of the moped, taking out a first aid kit that I always drive around with. I look around and see the ones who are the most damaged. Tory, Sam, Miguel... and a few more. I open up the kit and immediately see that I don't have enough bandages to go around. So I throw off my jacket and take the scissors which I cut band aids with and cut strips from my t-shirt. I walk towards Sam first.
-Are you severely hurt? I ask the guy next to her.
-Good, then take this and bandage her arm, I say, handing him one of the strips of my shirt. Then I pull up some disinfectant and put some on a large cotton pad and put it where she's bleeding. She hisses a bit.
-Sorry Sam, I say.
-It's fine, she says as the boy starts tightly wrapping her arm. Then I walk over to Miguel and throw a t-shirt piece to him too.
-You're good enough, I say and then take a roll of bandage and crouch down by Tory. I look at the guy next to her.
-Help her with this, I start, but Tory quickly pulls it out of my hand.
-I can do it myself. I got cracked ribs, not a concussion, she hisses at me.
-Alright, just trying to help, I say.
Then I move on to the others who has black eyes and cuts, handing them cotton balls with disinfectant and cotton pads to stop some more severe bleeding. After a while, I finally get to the one I'm most disappointed in; Hawk. He sits against the back wall of the room.
I carefully sit down next to him. He's been keeping his face parallel with the ground ever since I busted in here. I grab his face to look at the damage. He's still looking down at the ground. He's bleeding under his eye and on his forehead. He also has a black eye and a busted lip. I gasp, since he's been the one with the most facial injuries. He looks up at me with teary eyes. I pull the first aid kit towards me and start by cleaning his face with disinfectant wipes. I have to use a few since he's bleeding all over the place. I start with his forehead wound.
-I'm sorry... he whispers to me.
-I don't want to hear it, I say and he looks ashamed down at the ground again. As I'm done cleaning the wound I cut a cotton pad and put it on his forehead and tape it down. Then I look for remaining band aids to put on the small wound under his eye. I put a band aid on it and secure it with an extra tape. Then I move on to clean the rest of his face off.
-I'm just really disappointed in you, I sigh. He looks back up at me.
-You promised me, I say, a lump building in my throat. Then I take a deep breath and grab a small cooling packet and hold it on his eye, since his lip is in better condition.
-Hold that there, I say. His fingers brush onto mine, but I ignore it and stand up. I grab my jacket and pull out my phone and hand it to Sam.
-Sam can you call your dad? He's the most sensible Sensei and he'll know what to do, I say quietly. Sam nods and goes into the phone app and starts writing her dads number in. I stand and guard her as I see Cobra Kai students eyeing her maliciously. Then I receive my phone back and I put it in my jacket again, putting it on again. Then I walk back to Hawk and pick up a cooling cream up from the kit.
-Gimme that, I say and he hands me the cooling packet. I put it down and put a small bit of the cream on his lip and his eye.
-I really thought you could stop yourself this time, I say.
-I know... I'm sorry, he says again.
-I'm so disappointed in you that I shouldn't even talk to you. I should've left you here, I say and he begins tearing up.
-But I care for you... and I forgive too easily, I say and a tear escapes his eye and he sniffles. Then I hear whispering and giggling behind me.
-He's getting shit from the girlfriend, I hear a voice say and then laughing. I turn my head slightly and see some boys from Cobra Kai pointing towards Hawk. I see Hawk quickly drying his tears and trying to suck it up, but he can't and sniffles. He glares at the ground. I turn fully the the boys.
-Shut up, I say to them, and they look surprised at me.
-Don't talk to him like that, I say. I then look at everyone in the room.
-Don't ever talk about anyone that way. Because right now, you're all in the same position. You should all be fucking ashamed of yourselves, I say and point at them. Many look away shamefully and others pout. I then turn back to hawk and dry some of his tears from his cheeks before I carefully start smearing the cream around his eyes.
-You don't deserve me, you deserve better, Hawk says.
-I know... but I don't want better, I want you, I say. Then I hear shuffling behind me and Hawk looks fearfully at whoever it was. I then turn around again. Tory is standing up, the bandage discarded somewhere.
-This is bullshit, this is all bullshit! She screams. I sigh and stand up.
-Why do we listen to her, huh? She's nothing, she says, trying to intimidate me.
-Tory, sit down before you break your ribs, I say.
-I've already called Sensei, and he's on his way right now to kick your ass. All of your asses! She says and looks at the other dojos.
-He's not kicking anyone's ass, I say. Tory looks back at me.
-Well maybe you need a taste... besides, you're the only one in here that's not hurt, she says and launches at me. I block her fist and carefully push her away from me.
-You think that just because I don't go to your karate club, I don't know it? I ask calmly. She screams and launches at me again, and I can feel that her punches are very weak. I push her away harsher this time and she gasps, holding her rib cage. I see that she wants to kick me in the face, really bad... and I see her getting in position. I only ready myself for it.
-Tory... I start calmly.
-If you raise that leg, your gonna break your cracked ribs, I say.
-That's bullshit, she says.
-It's really not Tory... please just sit down so you don't break anything, I say, trying to get the message through. She just glares at me.
-I'm not afraid of you, she says.
-And I'm not afraid of telling you that you're only doing this because you think you have control when you do karate. When in reality, you have about as much control in karate as you do at home, I say. She lunges at me with a slow punch, so I grab it and twist her arm and push her down towards the floor. I hold her pretty carefully with my arm. She struggles against my grip and I hear a crack and she shouts out in pain.
-Stop struggling, you're only hurting yourself more, I say. She finally calms down and I help her stand up. I turn her towards me so I can look her in the face.
-C'mon then... finish me, she says defeatedly.
-I don't do that... I actually have dignity, I say.
-Now, go sit down, I say and let her go. She stands up and looks astonished at me. She looks at me for a second before sitting down. Then I hear a lonely applause from the entrance and through the light of my moped comes John Kreese.
-Wow... that was for sure a show, he says.
-What do you want? I say.
-Tory called me a while ago and said that you were holding them hostage. Which I thought; that's impossible, he laughs.
-Cause they're so much stronger than you... But she was right, he says and glares at her. She looks away ashamed.
-For your information buddy, I'm not holding anyone hostage, they are free to leave whenever they want, I say.
-Besides, you're not wanted here, so you can leave, I say and turn to the people that need my help.
-Well I would... but you'd be a great recruit for Cobra Kai, he says and I stop. I turn back to him.
-I don't want to be a part of your terrorist dojo. I got my own life, so leave me alone, I say.
-Well your boyfriend seems to think otherwise, he says.
-Leave him out of this, I say.
-Oh you're a feisty one, just like he's told me, Kreese says.
-Leave, I say, putting my foot down.
-I want to see what you're capable of, he says.
-I don't think you do, I counter.
-Listen here girl... I'm gonna fight you, and you will try to win, he smiles wickedly.
-In your dreams old man, I say, seeing some of the teens get on edge.
-Well then, that's your problem, he says and charges for me. I block him and there comes another punch. I block that one too before I kick him in the nose, hoping that that'll shut him up. He starts to bleed from his nose and he wipes it with his hand.
-Well now you've angered the bull, he says. He charges at me, and I try to block his every punch and kick. I try to land in some punches myself but he's way to fast. Then comes a harsh kick to my arm, dislocating the shoulder. I scream out in pain. I then pant heavily.
-Did you know... you remind me of one of my old students, Kreese says, circling me.
-Did you know that this is called child abuse? I ask, before kicking him in the side.
Third person POV:
Daniel, Amanda and Johnny all rush in towards the ruckus. They see Kreese and Y/N fighting to the death, blood staining everything.
-Dad, do something! Sam shouts at him, but they all three freeze.
-Daniel, do something! Amanda urges.
-I- I can't interfere without hurting her, Daniel says. Then comes the eye of the hurricane.
Y/N stands absolutely wrecked in the middle of the room, John Kreese circling her like a vulture to a prey.
-See now this is what happens to a mouse when it tries to fight the snake, Kreese says proudly.
-And a snake shows. No. Mercy, he says and takes aim, before socking Y/N in the face. A sickening crack comes from her jaw and she lands hardly on the floor. Y/N cries out and crumbled up into a ball. This makes Hawks blood boil. He stands up quickly and Kreese watches him. Hawks friends and enemies join him.
-There is one simple rule... Hawk says.
-You don't hurt my girl, he says before sprinting at his Sensei, hitting him. He gets blocked but he keeps on punching. Then Sam starts to walk towards them.
-No, what're you doing? Miguel asks.
-She's my friend... Sam says and starts punching at Kreese too. Miguel sighs and realize that he needs to help her, so he joins in too. As they move away from Y/N's whimpering and crying body, Daniel, Amanda and Johnny runs towards her and lifts her head, trying to get in contact with her.
Kreese gets overwhelmed by three karate students charging at him in the same time and he stops being able to block all of their punches. Finally he stands alone.
-I should've done this a long time ago, Hawk says and the others walk away. Kreese only laughs.
-You wouldn't do that to your own Sensei... I taught you everything you know, he says, trying to slither out from the position he's in.
-Yeah... a Cobra shows no mercy, right? Hawk says and Kreeses' smile falters and Hawk lands in a good punch. Kreese falls unconscious on the floor. Meanwhile, Daniel is trying to get in contact with Y/N.
Y/N POV:
I finally come to my own senses as they try to take over the pain.
-Y/N! Y/N! You need to talk to us! I open my eyes and see Daniel. Then when I try to respond, I cannot open my mouth. My jaw is completely locked.
-I can't move, I say without moving my jaw.
-I can't move my jaw, I say, starting to panic.
-Y/N please try, Amanda tells me.
-I can't, it hurts! I shout. I start hyperventilating as I cry. I then see Hawk coming towards me.
-What's going on? Johnny asks.
-She's having a panic attack, let me help, Hawk says. The adults back away slightly to make space for Hawk. Hawk grabs my hand and I carefully twist my neck so I can look at him.
-Eli, Hawk, I'm scared, I say and heave in air because it almost feels as if I'm getting no air and too much at the same time.
-Hi baby, he says and tries to smile.
-you're ok, he calms.
-No I'm not, I can't move my mouth! I say panicked.
-I know, I know, shhh... he says.
-Alright, can you feel my hand? He asks. I move my fingers and feel his hand in mine. I nod.
-Can you hear me clearly? He asks. I nod again.
-Good... now just breathe. In... and out, he instructs me. I follow his lead and calm down, but my tears are still falling.
I see blue light and hear sirens outside.
-They're going to take you to hospital, Sam says as she sits in my other side.
-What about all of you? I ask and sniffle.
-There's enough ambulances for all of you, Daniel says. I look at Hawk again.
-You're going to be ok, he says. I nod and he hold my hand all the way into the surgery room.
Two months later:
-I look stupid, I say. My jaw is screwed shut with screws that are sticking out from my cheek. I look like the Frankenstein's monster.
-No, you look ok, mom says as she stops outside of the school. I roll my eyes at my mother. It's my first day in a bit over two months after the fight. I open the car door and there stands Eli.
-Hi, he says.
-Hi Eli, mom says.
-Hello mrs L/N he waves too my mom. I get out of the car and say goodbye to my mom and she drives away.
-Hi princess, welcome back, Eli says. I scoff.
-I'm no princess. Princess of the ugly maybe, I say.
-No you're looking great, he says and grabs my hand. I look at him with an unimpressed look.
-Eli, I have screws sticking out of my jaw and I have to drink from kids juice boxes, I say. He stops.
-Well good for you that I got them too, he says and pulls up one from his backpack. I smile at him as he smiles happily at me.
-How come you always know what to do? I ask.
-I try, he shrugs.
-I love you, I say.
-I love you too princess, he puts away the juice box and puts his hand on my cheek, pecking my lips.
-Alright I get it, you're in love! Stop scaring the kids, Miguel taunts and we split from the kiss.
After that fight, Hawk changed his name back to Eli and he apologized to everyone for his behavior. Kreese got into jail soon after my jaw had healed and he got sentenced for child abuse times three, abuse and harassment. Daniel and Johnny got together to build a new dojo and it's now the biggest dojo in The Valley. And all karate kids go together and became a big karate family.
Eli laughs and puts his arm around my shoulder, walking me in to the school. People are cheering for me as I enter, a sign was held up that said "welcome back". All is well. I look at Eli and we share another quick kiss. People greet me as he walks me to class and he kisses my cheek before he lets me go to class. All is good
But you didn't think that this was the end of the story, did you? ;)
