#24: Train
Dendy was frantic. Ever since the day that her and her parents visited the Lakewood Ancient museum a few weeks ago, her hack pack had gone missing. Unsure of how it even happened, her parents along with the museum security guards checked every spot in the museum, every exhibit. It was no where to be found.
Without her hackpack, she felt herself rendered useless. She had to resort to things such as socializing, not that doing so was a problem but she was saddened at the fact she could no longer code things, or fix things. She also could no longer assist her friends whenever they needed to fight off a robot or attack.
Her best friend K.O. did everything he could to ask every civilian in the plaza if they had known of seen her hack pack anywhere. No luck.
Weeks had passed and K.O. did everything he possibly could to try and make her feel better, and offered to help her craft a new bag, but she denied his help, telling him that it would take years to perfectly make it again, so it'd be no use.
When the plaza was under attack, Dendy would have to watch. Wishing she could aid. But she wasn't strong or quick, she could muster maybe a punch but never any some sort of cool power move unless it was her super jump, which couldn't really do anything in a scene of attack.
Dendy really wanted to help K.O., and to gain exp points for her Pow Card, and to be able to feel useful again, since it was going to be a long while til she makes a new hackpack, a very long while.
She needed to become strong if she wanted to fight, and she needed training. But she didn't know how or where to begin, she was aware that exertion of body muscles could cause damage if not careful. She thought of a couple of people who might help her and the first one being Radicles, since he has quite the build.
::::::
"Sorry Dendy, I understand you wanna help and all but I can't just train you, you're a little kappa. My exercise methods are really rough. I don't want you to end up straining yourself or something"
Dendy sighed, "Understood"
And she couldn't ask Enid to help train her, because the girl was in POINT prep. She began to slowly head for the exit of the the bodega, when she then noticed a big maned boy walk in. It was T.K.O.
He made a deep eye contact with her for a moment and walked forward to the back of the store. Dendy figured K.O. must've let him reign for the day.
Then an idea struck her, maybe she could ask for his assistance. They weren't necessarily on the best of terms but it was worth a shot. He was very strong, even stronger than K.O., so
she waited til he returned from the back.
He came back with a mop. It was now or never. She slowly paced towards him and poked him on the shoulder. He turned to face her and grumbled.
"Whaddaya want, nerd?"
"Uh greetings T.K.O., I was looking to see if you would be kind enough to offer me some advice?"
"Advice?" He scoffed, "What do you need advice for?"
Dendy sighed and began twiddling her fingers, "I am sure your aware of the fact my hack pack has been missing"
"Mm yeah so?"
"Well, I was wondering since it was my only means of defense, you could tell me some ways on how to increase brawn?"
T.K.O. laughed, "You? You want to get strong? Gimme a break! You can't get strong on your own. You would need someone to train you"
"Well, I did try asking Radicles but he told me I could strain myself with him"
"Duh, look at you. You barely got any muscle. A rough workout could reaaally damage someone like you"
"I know, well maybe you could train me then?"
T.K.O. scoffed, "Never in a million years would I train you. You can't fight"
Dendy pouted, feeling quite offended. "I was being sarcastic, I would never accept training from a brute like you" she lied and began to walk off.
"Ugh, fine I'll help"
Dendy turned to face him and crossed her arms, "Oh really? What changed your mind"
"I imagined being in control everything you do and I liked it." he teleported in front of her, showing a toothy grin.
She rolled her eyes, "Alright and how and when are we going to train then?"
"I'm not going to train, you are. You can start by warming your nerdy legs up. Go run around the parking lot 10 times or something until you sweat. I'll be waiting"
"How is that going to work?"
"Just do it!"
"Alright alright" Dendy reluctantly agreed, exiting the bodega. T.K.O. laughed to himself, "How lame she is"
:::::
20 minutes passed and the door to the bodega opened and Dendy returned, sweaty and tired.
T.K.O. looked at her with surprise, "You actually did it?"
"Of course, I want to get strong" she panted, and T.K.O. found himself blushing with embarrassment. So much for trying to tire her out. Guess she was really serious about training.
"Well, you know what I'm not gonna help you" he said nonchalantly.
"What?! Why?!"
"Cause you're annoying, that's why" he crossed his arms and she continued panting and glared at him, "You made me run around a huge parking lot for absolutely nothing?!"
He smirked, "Yep"
She grated her teeth and trotted towards him, "I cannot believe this"
"Better believe it"
And Dendy felt the anger course through her veins as she aimed a punch at T.K.O., watching as he dodged it like nothing.
"Hm, not bad for a nerd. You got work at your speed though"
Dendy's eyes widened when she realized what was going on, he was tantalizing her on purpose. So he really was willing to help her after all. The thought made her smile.
"Don't get too happy. You still suck. Meet me at the back alleyway around 4 so we can work on your resistance and speed"
"O-Okay" she breathed, and went to the cooler part of the bodega and got a drink.
::::::
Dendy waited in the alley for T.K.O., her muscles were aching from the earlier run. She really was not in the mood to do anything other than lie down.
"Sup Science Baby" a voice said, startling Dendy, he appeared from out of nowhere.
"Please do not call me that" she said, recomposing herself.
"If you want me to train you, you gotta let me call you whatever you want. Got it?!"
Dendy frowned, reluctantly agreeing.
"Good. Now, I want you to dodge this!" He shot a power fist at her and she ducked just in time, it hitting the wall.
"What in the world was that!" She exclaimed, clearly terrified. He chucked.
"You really have a lot to learn you know. You have to be prepared for anything in a battle" he leapt towards her with full force and she dodged again.
"I...don't...think...this...will...help...!" She took breathes after every word.
"Fine, punch me"
She groaned and aimed her fist at him, which he dodged again with no effort.
"Again"
She tried again and he dodged once more, giving her a cheeky smirk.
"You're so slow"
"Urgh! My body aches!" She grated her teeth and aimed another punched at him and he dodged again, laughing.
"Break through the pain Science Baby!" He teased, and he watched as the frustration coursed through her veins and she caught him off guard with a mildly good punch in the face.
"Hey, not bad. Guess teasing works for you" he said rubbing his cheek.
Dendy found herself blushing as she began to rub her fist. Huh?
"Pick up your speed, we're going for a run." He announced, "You gotta catch me!" And a moment later, he flew off.
Dendy groaned, it was like he wanted to be the cause of her keeling over.
She wiped of beads of sweat as she narrowed her breathing pattern. She removed her boots knowing she was going to need to use her power jump to catch him.
So she went off running as fast as she could out of the alleyway, and she looked up in the sky. There, about maybe 200 feet away from her, he was. She stopped and powered up her feet and leapt up in the air, she managed to grab ahold of his hair and reel him down, hearing his painful cries.
"UGH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PULL MY HAIR?!"
"Did I not catch you?"
"Ugh, yeah...but it still hurt!"
"I apologize. Anywho what is the next activity I shall do?" She asked excitedly and he rolled his eyes,
"Oh those were just warm-ups Science Baby. The real activities are going to be way worse" he chuckled sadistically-
