The Rise Of The Cobra Kai

by Dragon-In-Black


5 - Twilight Sparkle

Several weeks have passed since the huge fight in the cafeteria. Flash Sentry is now a literal laughing stock. Hawk and his friends had quickly become popular, but that didn’t mean that Hawk looked away from their crimes. Not one bit…

Hawk hadn’t gotten into trouble with the principals anymore, although he did have a sneaking suspicion that Vice-principal Luna had been keeping an eye on him. Hawk didn’t know how to shake her off without it being obvious. He decided to simply let it go, as it would only continue to happen anyways. He had beaten up Gilda and her gang without any problem. It was actually Hawk that time who had provoked a fight. He won…

Gilda and her gang are practically slaves to Hawk and his friends now. He treated them like dirt like the rest of them. Flash and his gang weren’t the only ones. Oh no, there were more than one he treated like dirt. The Rainbooms were one of them that he actually quite by accident treated like dirt. It was that Twilight Sparkle had tried to stop a fight between Rover and Hawk. Hawk had been on top of him, and had been beating the living shit out of him. Hawk had even had blood in his hands as he had continued.

Hawk had told her to read a book while he continued to mercilessly beat Rover. Hawk’s Cobra Kai training had been coming along great also, which could be debatable if it was good or bad. Twilight had felt a little hurt, but Hawk had shown no sign that he had cared. Snips and Snails had snickered which had started a fight between them and the Rainbooms.

Snips and Snails had shocked everyone except Hawk as they had beaten Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Sunset Shimmer didn’t join the fight, as she was unsure if she should intervene or not. Snips and Snails had been her friends after all and Spi- Hawk… had also been one, but she had only used them to gather information. She never saw them as her friends until later. Rainbow and Applejack had broken both of their arms…

The three Cobra Kai students had laughed and even mocked them. Hawk did so, because Rainbow Dash had one time helped Gilda with beating him up. Hawk wasn’t sure if she remembered that or not, but she most likely didn’t. Hawk didn’t care though.

Currently, Hawk was in the dojo, training on a punching bag. He was trying to get in some good blows. It seemed to work, as the punching bag was going way backwards. Snips and Snails were doing fifty push ups on their knuckles. That was one of their things that was expected in the Cobra Kai dojo. They were simply training when they heard the bell ring. Hawk stopped his punching, and turned around to see Twilight Sparkle the class nerd. The loser in Hawk’s opinion. She stood there with her moderate violet eyes, moderate sapphire blue with moderate violet and brilliant rose streaked hair. Her pale, light grayish mulberry skin, looking comforting in a hug.

“Twilight Sparkle, i didn’t think you had it in you to show up here. Are you interested in joining Cobra Kai? There is room for more.” Hawk said, in a taunting voice. One that irritated Twilight. She wasn’t here to join their dojo, she was here to confront them. They had started making every student feel unsafe and she was here to see if she could reason with them.

“No, i’m here to talk to you.” Twilight said, in an authoritative voice. Not an uncomfortable one, but a voice that said ‘no bullshit’ and that was something that nearly made Hawk laugh.
“Oh really?” Hawk said, in fake surprise. “About what?” Hawk already knew what she was here for, but it was better to play the prey while the predator thought it was close to a winning streak. Twilight even seemed to take the bait.

“Spike-” Twilight started but she was cut off by Hawk.

“My name is not Spike, it is Hawk!” Hawk said, angrily as he stared down at Twilight as if she was filth under his feet. She sighed and gulped a little. He may be short, but he sure as hell can be intimidating when he wants to be.

“Hawk, i understand that many of those students have bullied you, but you can’t simply bully them without showing them mercy. They are frightened by you! Is that how you want to be remembered after high school? As the kid everyone was terrified of?” Twilight asked, in a serious voice. Hawk simply raised a brow. He didn’t actually care whether he was feared or not. He simply hated Flash and his gang and whoever stood with him.

“Sparkle, i will tell you this: you don’t know what i have been through, and you have the guts to come here, and tell me what to do!? Well, a word of advice: if you want to stay out of the crossfire, then i suggest that you stay out of Cobra Kai business.” Hawk said, in an icy tone. Twilight didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t meant it like that! She simply wanted to talk some sense into her. Hawk then turned around and walked back towards his punching bag and snickered. Twilight’s anger flared up again, and she asked one thing that made all three of them stop.

“Do you think Sunset sees you like friends when you act like this? You act like real jerks, and show no remorse for it.” Twilight stated, making Hawk turn around and his eyes made Twilight wish she didn’t say anything. Snips and Snails rounded around her but didn’t do anything.

“Sunset Shimmer is nothing more but a coward!” Hawk said, angrily as he walked slowly towards the frightened girl. “Everything was fine before YOU showed up! She helped us and we helped her. And now, she has gone soft because of you. You have stolen enough from us already, and you are not stealing this from us. Now get the fuck out of here.”

Twilight nodded quickly and dashed out of the dojo. Hawk turned around and angrily hit the punching bag. He felt how everything was simply leaving his system. She has the guts to come here and say that he is the problem?! Oh, he sure is the problem alright… when he breaks her face!

Snips and Snails shook their heads angrily. They couldn’t believe that she had the guts to say that Hawk was the problem. If she would have had eyes, she would have known that the student lobby was the bloody problem! They didn’t do anything for years, and now when Hawk is doing their payback; he is the criminal. “She got some fucking nerve, i’ll show her.” Hawk muttered to himself as he punched the bag harder and harder landing each blow in a fetal position. Snips and Snails simply continued their push ups, and didn’t stop for anything.


Hawk and his two friends had just walked out of the dojo, when they saw Sunset Shimmer in all her glory. She had moderate cyan eyes, brilliant amaranth with light apple green striped hair. She had light amber skin. She was wearing a light turquoise dress, with heeled shoes and leather jacket. She looked at them with a hint of anger.

“Well well well, look who it is. It’s the fucking coward.” Hawk said, angrily as he looked up and down at her, studying her. “What do you want, we are kind of busy.”

Sunset sighed. She had heard the stories from the school and had even witnessed a few fights herself. She was getting concerned over the path her old lackeys were going. Or friends… She was still getting used to saying that word. “I simply wanted to talk to you. Twilight came running to me and told me what happened.” Sunset explained, earning snickers from the three of them.

“So little stupid Sparkle came running towards the coward of CHS? No surprise there.” Hawk said, chuckling. Sunset felt her anger flare up, but she didn’t lash out. She understood why he was acting like this. She didn’t want to hit him, but damn, it was really tempting!

“She is not stupid! She literally wanted to help you out! Why won’t you let someone help you?!” Sunset shouted, in anger and frustration. Hawk recoiled a little and looked at the amber skinned girl. He then chuckled. Much to her surprise. He was chuckling! It was as if it was some sort of joke to him!

“Well, she does have potential to become a fighter. She would do well in Cobra Kai. All she would need to do is toughen herself up a little bit.” Hawk said, in a taunting voice. Right now, he just wanted to fight the coward of CHS. Well, that is Fluttershy, but still! In his eyes: Sunset was the one who abandoned him and his friends. “Now, when you say ‘she literally wanted to help you!’ Did you ever consider that I felt betrayed? Because she has not done anything towards the bullying for the past three years.”

Sunset went quiet after that. She did know that Twilight had tried to help them from Flash and his gang, but it never seemed to work. He simply found other ways to bully him. Although, now, when she looks at Hawk, she can see all the pain and devastation he has gone through. It was not a pretty sight either.

“You know what Sunset? Just do us all a favour, and don’t show your face around here when we are here. We workout here every single day after school. Specifically around fifteen thirty to seventeen thirty. Also, how is Rainbow Crashes' arms? Or Apple girls’? Hawk asked, tauntingly. Sunset felt how her face heated up. Not from a blush or anything like that, but from pure anger.

“Don’t you dare talk about my friends!” Sunset told them, angrily. She couldn’t believe she was wasting her time with three guys who showed nothing but anger towards her. She turned around and started walking away from them, but before she turned the corner she heard one question she hadn’t asked herself in ages.

“Are they truly your friends? Or are they simply saying what you want to hear?” Hawk asked, in a voice that didn’t sound mocking. It sounded more like he was asking out of curiosity. Sunset didn’t answer. She simply walked away from the three Cobra Kai students.


Inside Sugarcube Corner, sat seven friends around a table, and were discussing Hawk and his friends. Rainbows and Applejacks arms were in cascs. They were understandably angry at them, but they knew that they couldn’t fight them. They would have to train themselves somehow. They had no idea where they would train, but they knew it had to be somewhere away from the prying eyes of the Cobra Kai students. Or well, anyone who is with Cobra Kai.

Twilight was sitting by the window, looking into the table, thinking that she was invisible. Suddenly the bell rang, and it revealed the bacon haired girl, Sunset Shimmer. She walked towards her friends booth, and sat down. She didn’t do or say anything as she was seething.

“It didn’t go well, I take it?” Fluttershy asked, shyly as she looked at the angry girl. It was one thing everyone knew at CHS. Never under any circumstances, anger Sunset more than she already is. Everyone except Hawk and Vice-Principal Luna didn’t show fear towards her anger. Principal Celestia had never seen her angry so they couldn’t say what she thought of it.

“No, they simply looked down on me as if I'm the sole reason they are the way they are. But then again, I did leave them afterwards when I had changed.” Sunset said, with sadness evident in her voice. Twilight comforted her in a hug, and they were like that for a few moments. Then suddenly, Twilight looked outside the window, and saw the three Cobra Kai students walking away from the dojo and laughing over something funny.

No one noticed, but Rarity had hearts when she saw Hawk walk away from the dojo. Brilliant spiky hair, and those lips that are simply inviting her. He was her Hawk. Rarity sighed wistfully, and the others were simply staring at the three rulers of CHS. Rainbow and Applejack were understandably angry at them, and felt nothing but anger towards them. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy felt like the others were judging them too quickly. Yes, they may have done a lot of bad things, but they remember the times they were bullied. Twilight simply felt defeated when she saw them. Sunset… Sunset wanted to talk to them again, but she had a feeling that they weren’t interested. Or rather, she knew that they wanted nothing to do with her. In the end, they were all defeated on what to do.
