This is How I would've written Hawk's change of heart during the Season 3 finale.
As the brawl between Cobra Kai and the now allied Miyagi-Do/Eagle Fang escalates further at the LaRusso home. Hawk looks around to see those he once called friends being savagely beaten. Hawk begins thinking about everything that has happened in the past year: Kyler and his gang bullying him and His friends.
Him crying to his mother about how he feels as if he'll only be known as a kid with a weird lip for the rest of his life.
Counselor Blatt practically exposing him about people insulting his lip.
Sensei Lawrence encouraging him to flip the script.
Going from Eli: the kid with a weird lip to Hawk: toughest guy on the block after joining Cobra Kai, Miguel getting Injured.
Moon Dumping him.
Kreese manipulating him.
Johnny reminding him how he was a loser before he joined. Breaking his once-best friend, Demetri's arm.
Kyler and his gang joining Cobra Kai and losing Mitch.
Hawk is currently in an internal war in his head. He deliberates if he should A). Keep on fighting MD/EF or B). Do the smart thing and deflect from Cobra Kai.
(Inside hawk's mind)
Blue hawk(representing Eli) and Red Hawk(representing the aggressive person he'd become) are currently in a heated argument over what to do.
BH: we can't keep doing this. It's wrong.
RH: What? You wanna be a pussy the rest of your life? Kreese would kick us out for something like this.
BH: Kreese doesn't give a damn about us, Tory, or the others. Why should we stay with them?
RH: 'Cause I'm tired of being a bitch all my life, that's why I came in.
BH: That's not who we can be. Kyler's joined Cobra Kai. He's the reason we even joined in the first place. Why'd you want to work with a pussy like him.
RH:(ponders) maybe you're right.
BH: now you wanna help stop this thing or not
RH: yeah.
Blue hawk and Red hawk shake hands and combine into one.
(Real world)
Hawk starts to think about what Kreese has taught him.
"Only the strong survive."
"The fights only over if you say it is"
"The enemy of your enemy is your friend"
He then thinks about what Sensei Lawrence had said to him at school last week.
"When you walked into my dojo, you were softer than a baby's ass"
"I made you who you are, not Kreese"
"He doesn't give a shit about you"
He remembers what Miguel told him when he found out he'd broken Demetri's arm.
"It's Kreese, he's gotten in your head"
Then he remembers something he'd tried to repress over the last 6 months. His ex-girlfriend, Moon's words to him when she dumped him because of the fight with Demetri when he posted a negative yelp review about Cobra Kai.
"I like this" touches his Mohawk hairstyle
"And I like these" feels his muscles.
"But I'm not dating a bully."
This line repeats over and over in his head.
Hawk sees Demetri being held by Rickenberger in an arm lock.
"Hey Hawk, free shot" he exclaims.
Hawk makes his choice.
Hawk then runs toward Demetri, Rickenberger and another Cobra Kai with a dreadlock hairstyle. Hawk then jumps up...and kicks the kid with the dreads and then flips Rickenberger into a glass table.
"Look man. I'm sorry, for all of it". Hawk tells Demetri. "Now, do you wanna help me win this thing?" He asks.
"Yeah!!" Demetri says. The two friends shake hands and proceed to team up and take down various Cobra Kai students together.
As they are putting the smack down on Cobra Kai, Hawk feels relieved. He did what he knew was right and deflected from Cobra Kai.
"Thank you, Moon" he thought. Maybe he can prove to Moon that he's changed and can win her back.
Any ideas on Cobra Kai fan fictions I should write? Let me know in your reviews.
