Unlock Your Inner Dragon: Cobra Kai x Male Reader

Chapter 24: The Battle Of December 19th Pt.2

Y/N: 'You love Sam, Y/N... but Tory's more fierce... Sam's never betrayed you, she cares you more than anyone else. Why ruin something so perfect? You need a girl that can kick butt as hard as you can! Listen to the deep, dark depths of your heart, Y/N... you could RULE the Valley... you can't sacrifice your entire social life on one kiss. That's insane! Choose wisely.'

You look back at the LaRussos' house and feel like you've never been more mentally divided in your life.

Sam or Tory? Miyagi-Do or Cobra Kai? Passion or Logic? Who would you choose? What would you choose?

Y/N: "I... I... I have to stay with Sam and Miyagi-Do. I can't just leave after everything they've done for me. That'd be selfish... but if there was only a way I could be with Tory and Sam at the same time. Not romantically... but as friends. With Sam as my girlfriend. Mr. Miyagi's had my back to the end and there's no reason for me to not do the same."

You run towards the house, confident in your decision.

But in the deepest, darkest part of your heart and mind, you weren't happy with your choice...

Meanwhile, inside the house, Cobra Kai is barely winning the brawl, but out of nowhere, Hawk starts to suffer a crisis of conscience as he realizes he's fighting alongside the bullies who once made his life a misery. When two Cobras have Demetri in a dominant hold and offer Hawk a "free shot" to break Demetri's arm again, Hawk finally makes the right choice and attacks his fellow Cobra Kais. He flips one onto a glass table that shatters and kicks the other in the chest. He apologizes to Demetri after saving his ex-best friend, an apology Demetri is happy to accept.

Hawk: "Look man, I'm sorry... for all of it."

Demetri was so shocked at Hawk's attack that nothing seemed to come to him.

Hawk: "Do you wanna help me win this thing?"

Demetri: "Yeah." He says with a smile.

They share a dap and together, they attack more members of Cobra Kai. On the other side of the house, Miguel is seen bloody and bruised after fighting Kyler, but he flips over Kyler and punches him in the face to knock him out. Robby comes in and helps Miguel get up, sharing a moment of respect with him.

You run into the house to find Demetri and Hawk fighting together. This confused you but, soon a smirk spreads onto your face. 

Y/N: 'Guess they made up. With Hawk on our side, Cobra Kai will be a lot easier to take down.'

You hear two people yelling from somewhere by the backyard and see that the LaRussos' family dojo's lights are on.

Y/N: "Sam! Tory!"

You run toward them with a sense of purpose... and regret.

Inside the house, Miguel approaches Demetri and Hawk hugging each other. He smiles, despite being battered and bruised.

Miguel Diaz: "Uhh...I hate to ruin your moment but... have you two seen Sam?" 

Hawk: "Wait! Where's Tory?" He scans the room and can't locate them.

Demetri: "Crud! They have to fighting each other. Alone!"

Robby runs past them and calls to them.

Robby Keene: "They're in the dojo! Follow me!"

Hawk, Demetri, and Miguel share a confused look but decide to run after Robby.

Although Sam initially ran away scared from Tory when she singled her out in the fight, she is able to find her strength and determination after Tory smashes a photo of Mr. Miyagi. She's reminded of her dad's advice: "You're the only one who can get up when you're down Sam, no one else" when he helped her start to overcome her PTSD from the school fight.
