History Awesome / WarriorCatsTheOriginalSeries

* In ''Forest Of Secrets'' when Tigerclaw is raging about [[spoiler: Graystripe's kits]] Cinderpaw tells him to shut up and lick one so it will survive. He does.
** Remember that Cinderpaw was still an apprentice, and was crippled [[spoiler:because of Tigerclaw himself]]. And Tigerclaw shuts up and listens to her. '''Tigerclaw.'''
* Bluestar's [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]].

* ''The Darkest Hour'' contained a lot of these, from Bramblepaw publicly announcing that he would rather die than join his tyrannical father, to Firestar fulfilling his prophecy and defeating Scourge, the cat that [[spoiler:killed Tigerstar ''nine times'' with ''one'' blow]]... after already having died at Scourge's claws.

* When [[spoiler:Bone, the [=BloodClan=] "deputy," is killed by a pack of ''apprentices''.]]

* Graystripe's [[spoiler: deputy ceremony on the field of battle.]]

--> '''Morningflower''': "[[spoiler:Gorsepaw! Gorsepaw! Gorsepaw!]]"

-->'''Scourge''': "How!? I ''killed'' you!"
-->'''Firestar''': "You did. But I am a leader with nine lives who fights alongside [=StarClan=]. Can you say as much?"

* ''The Darkest Hour'' is pretty much a {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} for the series in and of itself.
** ''Literature/WarriorCats'' is pretty much a {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} for children's books in and of itself, actually.

---> '''Morningflower''': "[[spoiler: Gorsepaw! Gorsepaw! Gorsepaw!]]"

--->"Join you?" Bramblepaw growled. He paused, swallowing as he fought to control his anger. When he spoke again his voice rang out clearly so that every cat in the clearing could hear him.
--->"Join ''you''?" he repeated. "After everything you've done? I'd rather die!"
** Followed by some epic burnage.

* Despite Scourge being evil and all that, hes still gets a CMOA when he rips out [[BeyondTheImpossible ALL NINE OF TIGERSTAR'S LIVES AT ONCE,]] and followed with this in the Rise of Scourge manga: ''"My littermates said I was too small... too weak. But I've proven them wrong. I've learned how to be strong...how to live for blood. Because that's the key. The only answer. I am leader of [=BloodClan.=] I am Scourge. AND I HAVE WON!"''

* ''WarriorCats'' deserves a mention here, particularly this bit from ''The Darkest Hour'': Stonefur has the audacity to defy Tigerstar himself when surrounded by nearly two full Clans of Tigerstar's supporters. Ordered to prove his loyalty by murdering his own apprentice, he instead challenges Tigerstar to kill him. Darkstripe attacks on Tigerstar's orders, but Stonefur, who, it should be pointed out, [[{{Determinator}} is starving and greatly weakened]], defeats the well-fed and rested warrior in combat, and is only killed when the strongest warrior on Tigerstar's side steps in to help.
