Enid always prided herself on being cool under the most dire of circumstances, not to be easily deterred by even the most impossible odds stack heavily against her and her friends. Growing up with a werewolf and a vampire for parents was not one of her most known aspects and she preferred to keep her home life hidden even from her closest friends, but since Rad and KO visited she had been more open to her origins as a witch and incorporated her black magic into her ninja training. Both her eccentric family and training have left her as cool as a sea cucumber.

But there was one person that has time and time again broke through the ice barrier that surrounded her heart, who no matter how hard she tried her inner child always pops up when his adorable little smile comes up. Ever since she met KO, she's been more social and outgoing. But she still struggles with projecting her feelings, as that whole time paradox thingy with Red Action had any indication.

Now that KO was held hostage in the hands of some hooded creep, she couldn't hold herself together as she cried on the nearest thing that night, I.E. Raymond. KO was the most sweetest and purest being that Enid has ever met, and for something like this to happen to him was just... was just awful. Especially considering that he brought out this aggressive and vicious side that tried to take over her friend's body, who knows what he'll do now.

What's worse is that KO wasn't the only one taken by Shadowy Figure, but his own girlfriend who has loved him and stayed by his side through thick and thin: Fink. While she may have found the rat girl to be a totally annoying pest that has attacked the bodega a bunch of times, mostly she went after KO, but for some reason KO was able to somewhat tame the little rascal. In some odd way against nature, she thought they were kind of cute together in spite heroes and villains were barred from having any romantic affiliations with each other. But they made it work, and deep down Enid was a teeny tiny bit envious of their relationship.

One of the reasons was that KO was actually her perfect guy. He's sweet, helpful, naïve, a gentleman, powerful, respectful to women, and a little bit cute. If their ages weren't so far apart, she would actually considered dating him, any relationship she had never even got past the third day, much less the first date. Any guy she would get to know were either obnoxious jerks who like to peep on women or are extremely cheap, and it wasn't just guys. Enid had tried to pursue some girls she thought were pretty cool, hey we live in a more open society now so don't complain. But every time it was something or another: the girl wasn't into gals, she was a living Barbie doll, she had a boyfriend. She heard it all, the worst she probably had was with her sort-of friend Elodie.

The two were the best of friends in middle school, they did everything together. They had sleepovers, trained together, they go to the mall together. Which was odd because Enid hated malls with a burning passion, yet she was fine when going with Elodie. Enid and Elodie were polar opposites, the former always went with the flow while the latter was very strict about rules and regulations. Elodie always took care of her appearance, while Enid could care less about make up and other cosmetic stuff. But despite that, Enid couldn't help but feel a very strong connection between her and now the pride of P.O.I.N.T. Prep. Which is why she felt so betrayed when Elodie chose the school over their friendship, sad truth is that she was planning on telling her these feelings she'd been having had either of them won.

But after more than a few rocky reunions and an... interesting time at P.O.I.N.T. Prep, the two were finally able to fine the friendship was once lost and kept in touch after Enid left the school. She figured it would be better if she wasn't at a place that believed that some heroes are worth more than others, and that she had made more progress working at Lakewood Plaza Turbo with her friends.

Nothing she tried panned out for her in romance, but KO on the other hand maintained a loving and growing relationship for a strong three months and counting. And with an evil minion mutant at that, who she was secretly jealous of for snagging a boy that any girl would dream of.

But she couldn't worry about that right now, her friend was missing. So she made a call, she let out a small smile as limo came up in the parking lot surrounded by a mob of fans.

"HELLO LAKEWOOD! Elodie has returned!"

Enid rolled her eyes as the people cheered at the over the top entrance her former ex-friend did, "Always have to make a show."

"Yes, yes. I know you love me, but I'm actually here for a certain pink haired store clerk who-"

"THERE SHE IS!" some rando pointed to Enid, before people rioted remembering the last time these two faced each other in the parking lot.

Elodie silenced them when she snapped her fingers, the mob then bowed. "While Enid and I had some... not so pleasant encounters, that's all water under the bridge. Now if you all would give us some privacy, that would be swell." immediately they left the two women alone.

"Man, people will do anything for someone famous." Enid joked.

"Yes it's both a blessing, and a curse." Elodie replied.

"Hey, thanks for coming over El. It hasn't been easy after the events of last night."

"You're lucky campus is currently closed for fumigation for the next three weeks, I'm sorry about what happen to your little friend." Elodie said while rubbing her arm. Enid looked away, "He did have all the potential in the world to be an extraordinary hero, maybe even better than Chip Damage ever was."

"Yep, the little guy is something."

"And I heard he is dating that little mouse girl that hangs around Professor Venomous, while I am a little irked that he broke the most sacred of taboos. I admit, they do make a cute couple." Elodie gushed.

"So I've heard," the ninja looked to her 'it's complicated' friend "but right now they're in danger. And with their new found unstoppable power, we need all the help we can get. So Elodie, are you sure that you want to do this? I mean this isn't some obstacle race or sparing exercise at P.O.I.N.T. Prep, this is a real life crisis onour hands. I don't know if we..." Enid nearly felt herself start to cry, "I don't know if we can save KO, before we lose him again. He's just a little boy! I don't think my heart can take it if the KO we know and love is gone forever!"

Enid then found herself wrapped up in a tight embrace, she looked down to see Elodie with tears pouring. "You know what that little cinnamon roll would say, if any of you guys were in his predicament. 'The heart may be weak, and sometimes... it may even give in. But deep down there is a light, that never goes out'." she and Enid locked eyes. "You two helped me learn that the world of heroes is not a contest, it's about doing what's right. And this time, Enid." she hooked the ninja's hands in hers in a soft grip, this caused Enid to blush a tearful smile. "I won't make the same mistake twice."

"Are you two gonna make out?"

GAH!

The two looked to the voice that interrupted their moment, "Red?"

"In the flesh." answered the hero from the future, with that red power ranger style outfit and a wooden leg. "I cannot wait to blast that Shadowy Figure into 301X!" Enid and Elodie turned to each other in confusion.

"How did you know about that? I didn't even call you yet?" Enid questioned.

"You told me about thirty minutes in the future." Red Action replied smugly.

"Oh right, forgot you can time travel." Enid said.

"BTW, I ship you guys." the two non future girls blushed at that, Red laughed at their embarrassment.

Just then they heard a P.O.I.N.T. ship arrive, they looked to the store with the rest of the group as three individuals were appeared. Foxtail, Ms. Sunshine, and the newly rebuilt Chip Damage. Gar groaned as Foxtail approached him with that smug look the last time his old hero team was here, "Well, well, well. Look who came crawling back, good ole El-Bow and Silver Spark."

Gar growled as Carol held him back, "Look Foxtail, this goes beyond anything you guys have seen. My son has power that you can hardly imagine, probably makes Chip Damage look like an average civilian. With someone like Shadowy Figure in possession of my little boy, I don't know what I'll do."

"HA! If you can't even keep your own child safe, than how do you expect to do anything?" Foxtail questioned Carol, who just looked away with a look of anguish, Gar hated seeing his beau in such guilt. He once thought Foxtail was a great hero, but after the Laserblast incident she became so intent on keeping power to those she thinks deserve it. True not everyone is made equal, but that doesn't mean you can exclude other heroes who with the proper training and guidance then they too can become an amazing hero. Which is why he felt so proud when Enid quit her dumb hero school after learning what they do to some heroes. With each word that spewed from the hero's mouth, Gar felt his anger boiling over.

"Though I come to expect that from a couple of quitters that ran away when the going get's tough, why should I expect any different from that kid anyway? He's too naïve for his own good, and he doesn't realize that the world of heroes isn't all fun and games. And do I even have to bring up his embarrassing relationship with the spawn of the most dastardly mind in the world, I never imagined how much of a sad dumb little boy that he-" she was stopped when she felt an intense pain in her tail, she then got sent crashing into the nearest wall. This shocked everyone else, especially considering who did it.

Foxtail shook her head and was faced with a glowing anger filled elbow pointed directly to her face, the look on her former teammate's face read so many lines that cannot be repeated on a kid's show. "You will not say another word, KO is nowhere near a dumb little boy. He's a bigger hero any of you ever will be! All you sheep at P.O.I.N.T. care about is power and victory, KO is different from you. Because he fights evil and protects others in the name of justice and what's right, he puts his heart into being the great hero is destined to be one day. To you he's just a kid, but he's so much more. To some he's a friend (shoots the Enid, Rad, and Dendy), others he's an inspiration (pans out to reveal the robots and Venomous). If you cared about Silver Spark at all when she was with you, this is her son we're trying to save. All of her love and devotion to what people believe, lies in that brilliant young lad. But the biggest impact he had on this plaza, was me." he took of his shades to reveal his eyes red from crying and fled with dried up tears, "He's not just an employee to me. He is a friend, a companion, a hero. But most of all, he is a son in every possible way but blood. He and Carol, are my everything." he finished.

Everyone couldn't help but go teary eyed at Gar's speech, Carol had the biggest smile she had ever had. "Oh, Gene." Rad nearly fell over crying, hunched over a teary eyed Dendy who was fighting the urge to scream into the heavens. Enid nearly broke down, if not for the Elodie and Red to keep her strong while fighting back their own tears. The robot siblings were all huddle together in a family hug. Even Venomous had a couple tears roll down his eyes.

Chip and Sunshine though had the most emotion, Chip who was hunched over balling his artificial eyes out. While Sunshine couldn't help it, "I have never felt more heart in my life, the love each of them share for their little bundle of joy. It's contagious!"

Foxtail looked down at herself, his words jamming right into her brain. "I gotta say, I kind of dig this new side of you El-Bow. You have grown so much since you're training days, and you're right." she looked up "Being a hero isn't about having the power to do so, it's about justice." she stood up as Gar lowered his weapon. "So what are we standing around here for? We have children to save!"

YEAH!

"But the question is... where do we start?" Dendy asked.

.

.

.

….

"Not a clue."

"Although, I think I recall him saying something to Venomous before he took off. Something like... 'brother'?"

Everyone turned to Venomous, who sighed "I may have a theory. I happen to know a lot about this 'Shadowy Figure', and how he coincides with KO. Let's just say, that accident 6-11 years ago had more consequences than you know."

(With Shadowy Figure)

Said figure was on the outskirts of the forest, staring off into a far distance where he could just make out the plaza.

"Soon, they'll all know what true power is. Soon this world will fall into chaos, and they'll all see... that I am still here." he said as he lowered his hood, with the camera zoomed into his smirk and the rest of his face was offscreen. "I'm coming El-Bow, you will pay for your actions. And they will collect the debt you owe me." the camera zooms left to reveal his hostages fighting a giant cyborg bear.
