Enid was more or less agitated that people around her wouldn't stop asking her if she was alright. It was one thing to say hi, but to constantly ask her the same question over and over was starting to irritate her to no end. It was Rad who pulled the last straw as usual with his stupid antics of course.
"Look at me K.O; I'm Enid, a poor angry little girl who refuses to talk to her friends or anyone else because I'm too good!" He laughed rolling on the floor.
"Umm Rad, I don't think you should be doing this. I don't really know what's going on with Enid, but I really don't want her to be angry at me. S…she sometimes scares me."
"Pshh, c'mon man. She's a girl for crying out loud. It's a…."
Sadly he didn't get the chance to finish as he was now being held in the air. He and K.O looked at Enid whose hair was now fully down and her eyes were glowing purple. "Why…why couldn't you just shut up! What is it you get from constantly insulting people huh!?" She screaming as she flung him through two walls.
"Enid! You have to stop! This isn't who you are!" K.O tried to yell. He never saw this side of his best friend before. He knew Enid could be scary, but this…this was another level of scary. "I know Rad is an idiot sometimes, but you're better than him, better than this."
His words fell on deaf ears as she started walking towards him. He could feel his very soul being sucked out of him with each step she took. "Hehehe…finally you show your true powers huh?" T.K.O said as he swapped places with his good half. "Don't disappoint me…Enid!" With those words he jumped at Enid and both of the started fighting around the store.
"T.K.O…what are you doing? We have to stop!"
"Pipe down squirt! This is my chance to have a real fight after so long. I stood by and let you take care of things day after day after day. I never complained or tried to take over."
"I know, but she's our friend I…I don't want her hurt. Something's wrong with her. I don't know what it is but we have to get her back to normal."
"K.O how many times do I have to tell you, stop being so naïve right now there's someone in front of us trying to kill us? Let's not forget that although her base power level is 3, right now I'd say she's on my level! Hahahahah this is more than I could ever dream of."
"Sh..shtooop it! Please…I don't like this. Please help me!" Enid screamed out. A shockwave was sent hurling through the entire Bodega and the Plaza.
At Enid's home her mother was getting ready to leave to make sure her daughter was ok when a pair of strong fur covered arms wrapped around her.
"Don't do this love. I know you're worried that her powers are starting to awaken but we have to let this run its course."
"How could you Bernard! She's our daughter!"
"Wil, I know your scared and afraid, It's every mothers right to be, but she's not alone anymore. She has friends to help her get through this. I promise when it's over We'll have a talk about what's happening to her. For now please just believe in them."
"Fine, but if this gets too out of hand…"
"I won't stop you, just promise not to destroy the entire area please." He chuckled.
Wilhamena put her arms around her husband and looked out at the sky. "I make no promises."
Back at the plaza things were really heating up between T.K.O and Enid. Punches were being thrown at speeds no one ever thought possible and by now everyone in the plaza was looking at the fight as it progressed. ARMS and Brandon were the first two to arrive on the scene as usual recording what they could. After all with two fighters of this level moving faster than the naked eye, It was a blessing to get any footage at all.
The people that gathered around could see that the damage to the plaza was massive and there didn't seem to be an end to the destruction. Finally Gar and Carol stepped out to see what the commotion was all about. Mr. gar was about to ask what the heck was happening until a body was sent flying right past him and crashed into his store.
Gar looked at the body and was shocked to see who it was walking out of the debris and smoke with glowing eyes and a sinister smile on her face.
'Enid what is going…" Before he could finish he was sent flying through the store all the way to the other side.
"D…don't get in my way…weakling!"
"Heh, Is that anyway to talk to your boss? Well?" T.K.O said walking towards the girl. She didn't respond which didn't even faze him. After all talk was something he never liked. His fist was all he needed and nothing more. Of course Hid other half thought otherwise.
"Sweety…" Carol said trying to approach T.K.O.
'If you want to live, then stay back. Right now I can't guarantee I'll be able to stop her and protect all of you unless I go full power and you and the other me don't want that to happen right?
Carol took in her sons words and nodded. This was something she never expected. T.K.O would sometime come out at he house. She knew it was K.O's was of giving him some freedom instead of being locked up in his mind all the time. Still hearing him say he would protect all of them was still quit the shocker.
As the battle raged on at the plaza, back at Boxman Industries Darrell was now in his office thinking of what he was told by Shannon mere moments ago.
"I'm so sorry Enid!"
Just before the laser reached her chest where her heart was, the laser stopped. She opened her eyes to see if she was really alive or not. She then looked to her chest and saw the laser machine was still hovering inches above her chest.
"What did you just say Shannon."
She turned her head to see her brother Darrell staring at her. His face showed no emotion. Even his voice was relatively calm which sent shivers down her body. She continued in silence until Darrell raised his voice.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY SHANNON!"
She flinched at his voice. It reminded her of her father Boxman when he was angry. Whenever she heard that tone in his voice it was usually followed by pain. However this time none came. She looked again to her brother and saw he was crying.
"D…Darrell…"
"I can't do this. No…I won't do this!" He waved his hand and the binding that held her released. He went and helped her off the table and looked in her eyes. He saw shame, guilt, but more importantly…he saw fear. He put his hand on her chin and raised her face to look at his. "Come Shannon, It's time I set you free."
