Based off of DisneyFanatic2364's "Bride of Discord," which takes inspiration from the Disney's Beauty and the Beast and an old Swedish Fable, Bride of the Lindorm King. I enjoyed it, and after falling asleep while listening to the audiobook of "Bride of Discord," my brain kind of made a strange AU of it involving Dendy and the KOs, starting with TKO, becoming PKO, then eventually KO. And I was like…Wait, I want to make this. I will take this down if DisneyFanatic2364 tells me to, cause…I did not get permission from this. However, there will be a disclaimer at the start of most of the chapters if I remember. Alright, with that out of the way, let's get to the story!

*Spoilers ahead! Both for KO episodes and spoilers for "Bride of Discord."

After the defeat of Shadowy Figure, KO felt that he needed to find himself. He couldn't be a great hero if he only stayed at the Plaza. So, the hero that was once in training went out to become the great solo hero he always knew that he could be.

It was kind of a shock to everyone as they began to get reports about the upcoming new hero, Kaio "KO" Kinclaid. He was pretty powerful, and people were proud of him. Even getting some people that were interviewed that worked with him, and others that claimed that they were closer than they really were.

One of the people who weren't allowed to be interviewed was Dendy. Mainly because…well…she was a kappa. Even with the many movements for other creatures that were once feared, and even getting their own POW cards, people were still not ready to trust the species. Most kappas were okay with that, but not Dendy, especially with some of the fangirls she's heard around the lab that she works in, usually sighing. "If there's one regret in my life…" she would say, "it's not convincing my friend to stay…"

It started when there was a very tough villain that stood toe to toe with KO. Everyone was rooting for him as Dynamite took the coverage. Then, he started to get angry, mad. He couldn't beat this thing on his own…and that powerlessness…manifested once again. TKO came out, and many of the Plaza citizens were terrified at seeing the monster again. They didn't know how well KO and TKO could interact, and they thought that he had gone after the defeat of Shadowy Figure. Many of the people of the plaza spread the news, and their fears were confirmed when the more villains that feared KO, the more he became TKO. And the more he became TKO, the more he started to stop being a hero. He became a villain.

Dendy kept track of his POW level on what was her POW card collection. 150, 145, 140, 120, 80, 42, 23, 7, 0, -8, -30, -60. Dendy stopped checking at -100.

What had happened to make her friend this way? Was it the challenges no longer coming to him? Did TKO do something terrible to him!? No one would know. All they knew was that their beloved little mascot of the Plaza, had turned into a hard core-villain.

The plaza citizens were terrified about the return of TKO being eminant, but after many days turning into weeks of occasional activity over the villain, eventually the Plazians accepted what had happened, and he became another villain that they heard about in the news. Except for Rad, Enid, Carol, Eugene, and Dendy, everyone else was fine with it.

The ones who weren't as complacent about what happened, they worked on trying to find ways to find him, trying to figure out why. Enid would study ninja techniques as well as wide spread Shadow Trackers, trying to find where TKO was, with no luck in finding him. Rad would ask some of his friends to use some of their tech to try to find TKO, with no luck in finding him. Carol and Eugene would ask POINT for any information on such a powerful villain, with no luck in finding him. Dendy, however, tried to hack into different computors to find him, and she would often fall asleep at her desk and have horrible nightmares about him. His laughter, his arms trying to crush her, the thought of never seeing KO again- She would often wake up at that point, and try to shake the feeling about him.

Eventually, the thoughts of TKO began to vanish, only coming up in, I wish there was something we could've done instead…oh well. Everyone began to live lives together. Red Action and Enid ending up with each other. Eugene and Carol getting officially married, with Carol getting pregnant in the process. Rad actually getting together with Drupe. Everyone just finding themselves content lives. The only one that seemed still on edge was Dendy.

She was sought out by many male Kappas, as fear that she would go infertile without breeding, but Dendy always politely turned them down, her parents supporting her descision all the way. Even if she was close to the age of it, she didn't care. She didn't really want children with any of those men, and her parents knew that her heart had been stolen by another, and it was doubtful that either of them would want to let that go. She continued to have nightmares, and sometimes begged that Rad, Enid, and/or Mr. and Mrs. Garcia go back at least once and try again to find him. The four eventually settling to just calm down the young woman despite her pleas to find TKO.
