Hello everyone how was your day?
I've personally found "Cobra Kai" to be a strong and amazing series with high quality screenwriting while a perfect sequel to the wider "The Karate Kid" franchise and in a way that makes sense. Not to mention fleshes out and expands the characters and settings in a way that makes sense overall while not changing who and what they are at their cores such as what I've heard "The Clone Wars" did for "Star Wars".
I'm also eager to see next month's upcoming season and hopefully it will be an exciting arc.
As we all saw last season, Chozen returned in order to assist Daniel in the war against Cobra Kai. However but what if another fellow Miyagi Do warrior had joined them within the season 4 finale? For those who don't know, I'm referring to Julie Pearce from "The Next Karate Kid". And while I understand and respect that the movie was not a critically acclaimed success I personally feel she would be a solid addition to the series and especially, come to think of it, in integrating her style with Daniel's and Chozen's.
Plus if Daniel's going to succeed, why not have not only one but instead two strong Miyagi Do warriors by his side and especially to take on ferocious Cobra Kai warriors such as Silver and maybe Mike Barnes if the latter appears?
Therefore this one shot will be a slight rewrite of the previous finale ending at the gravesite in which Daniel will receive two special visitors this time around. I hope you'll like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own "Cobra Kai", "The Karate Kid", or their characters.
Setting: Los Angeles County: California
Location: Cemetery
It had been a trying time these past few weeks for car dealer and part time Miyagi Do Sensei Daniel Larusso as he'd attempted to shut down the ruthless and recorrupted Cobra Kai dojo headed by a retuned Kreese and now Silver, two corrupt senseis who'd made his life a nightmare decades ago and Silver more so.
The current stakes were significantly worse however since he and his former rival, co sensei, and now friend of a sort Johnny Lawrence had to shut down their respective dojos as per their preceding agreement with Kreese.
And so while he for now would honor the agreement they'd all made, he knew he couldn't in good conscience just hang up the towel and call it quits lest an unchecked Cobra Kai corrupt significantly more young children and teenaged adults across the valley.
With that in mind, he'd contacted the only two other individuals who not only knew Miyagi Do like he did but were both significantly more knowledgeable of that karate style and were among its strongest fighters. Upon informing and explaining to them the current situation and requesting their assistance they'd both readily agreed to come and do what they could to assist. Something Daniel was grateful for since he knew he needed all the allies he could get due to the situation.
Currently he was kneeling before the tombstone of his late and beloved Miyagi Do sensei Mr. Miyagi while awaiting their arrival and reflecting upon everything which had transpired beforehand.
"I did everything I thought was right. I followed all the Miyagi Do teachings. I even put aside my rivalry and teamed up with Johnny. None of it worked. Now I'm supposed to give up my dojo and step down as a sensei," Daniel addressed his late sensei as he stared down at the tombstone. "But there's too much at stake to honor an agreement made with men who have none. If Cobra Kai is going to keep growing and getting stronger, I need to do whatever it takes to stop them. Even if that means going on offense."
He then noticed the presence of his soon to be allies who'd been standing away from him and towards his left as he spoke, listening to his every word. And so he addressed them next while still focusing on the tombstone.
"I know this isn't either of your fights. And I know this is a lot to ask. But will the two of you help me, finally put an end to Cobra Kai?" he acknowledged regarding his current conflict with the aforementioned nefarious dojo and then after standing up implored them.
The scene then panned from him and towards his far left upon where stood both the redeemed Chozen himself, who he'd forgiven and made peace with during his recent trip to Okinawa, and Julie Pearce who'd been Mr. Miyagi's second student after Daniel and was now meeting him again in person after their first meeting during their sensei's funeral.
"Yes," Chozen gladly answered in the affirmative.
"Same here Daniel and count me in. It's great to you again and after what you'd explained to me beforehand I'm game for whatever you need from us," Julie also answered and with a bright grin, showing she had his back.
Daniel in turn nodded towards them both, pleased and grateful for their support. Afterwards they walked towards him and positioned themselves so that they flanked him, Chozen on his left and Julie on his right, and following some shared nods between the 3 of them they turned towards Mr. Miyagi's grave and bowed before it in the traditional East Asian sign of respect.
They all knew things would be challenging moving forward but as long as they operated as one they and Daniel especially were sure they'd have a fighting chance against the forces of Cobra Kai.
As the 3 of them stood there together, somewhere within the Afterlife both Mr. Miyagi and Sato, Chozen's uncle and another Miyagi Do master, observed them with proud smiles upon their faces, pleased to see them all together and Mr. Miyagi especially pleased for how his two former students and Chozen in particular had turned out in their current lives. And the two elder men felt certain that as long as they remained united Danielson, Chozen, and Juliason would be a force to be reckoned with and wished them the best in their current endeavor.
The End
A/N I hope this was to everyone's liking. And I also personally hope to see Julie within this series next month.
Have a blessed day.
