Everyone was quiet.
"What." Pko said. "I'm your father." Pko started to laugh, Fink watched in concern. "My dad..is Laserblast. My mom told us that a while ago." He said. Shadowy chuckled. "Oh but, I am Laserblast." "No you aren't, he's dead."
Shadowy paused and thought. "6-11 years ago, Laserblast "died". That's what you were told?" Pko nodded and Shadowy continued. "Well the truth is..he never died. He was able to escape whatever was supposed to happen to him but never came back his hero life. He lost his powers and did experiments on himself to try to get them back, then I was created."
Pko growled. "And why should I believe this? The last time you told me something serious like this it was all a lie."
"Why would I make this up? I'd never want you to be my son, but it's just how it has to be." "AND I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BE MY DAD!" Pko shouted. In the mindscape Tko was furious. They both felt Pko start to fall apart. "Tko..try to calm dow-" "IM NOT GONNA CALM DOWN!" "What he's saying isn't true!" "HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!?" That was the problem, Ko didn't know.
"Oh little Ko, it must be hard for you to take this all in. Please forgive me, I didn't want the reveal to be so sudden." Shadowy said. "Shut up shut up SHUT UP! You are not my dad you are not my dad.." "It hurts my feelings that you're telling yourself these things. I am your dad, why can't you believe it?" Something finally snapped in them both, they made Pko start shooting fists at Shadowy.
"You are not my dad..you are..not my dad.." Pko shot more, the attacks went from a small amount to waves. Then they went from Pko's attack to Ko's and then to Tko's. They all made a cage around Shadowy and he stared in amazement. He watched Pko and saw his body glitching.
The power fists got more aggressive and tears were streaming from his eyes. His body changed into Ko then to Tko and back to Pko all at the same time. There were too many attacks to keep track of and they started to fuse together forming one huge power first over the cage. "YOU ARE NOT MY DAD!" He screamed hysterically. The power fist landed and crushed Shadowy. The impact threw Fink and Pko a few feet back.
Pko got back up and started running back, he still wanted to take him out. Even if his body was unstable he didn't care, he didn't care what happened to him and they didn't care what happened to them. All they wanted was to get rid of Shadowy for good.
He made it back to Shadowy, there was smoke from the attack. He saw a still figure in it and ran towards it. He readied a power fist but then saw that Venomous was there, unconscious. Slowly, Ko took control of their body again. "Professor..is it true.." He said with a shaky voice. He fell to his knees and let more tears fall.
Fink caught up to him but stopped when she saw him. He was shaking and she heard choked sobs. She saw the state of Venomous and ran to Ko. "Is he okay..?" She asked. He nodded slowly. She sighed in relief and spoke again.
"Are you okay?" He shook his head, and Fink helped him up and they carried Venomous back home.
Venomous slowly opened his eyes, he adjusted and saw he was in his office. He tried to stand up but couldn't move. He looked around and saw he was tied in a chair. "Hey, boss." He looked to where the voice came from and saw Fink. "What's going on? Why am I tied in a chair?" "Do you remember what happened?" She asked.
"You told me I was Shadowy Figure..and nothing else." "Well..that's when Shadowy took over. We had to fight you and stuff, but we have to keep you in this chair just in case he tries to come out." She finished. Venomous frowned, he didn't like that they had to tie him up in a chair. "Where's Ko?" Fink pointed outside. "Boss..are you Ko's dad?" That made him freeze.
"Did you find that out from Shadowy..?" She nodded. "Well..yes I am." "Does that mean Shadowy is also his dad?" "Well..yeah. I guess." He said. "Okay, thanks. I'll check on you later, see ya boss." She left the room and he sat there alone, feeling bad for what he did even though he didn't know what.
Ko was standing outside the room, he was considering punching the wall but then heard voices calling him. He walked over to them and saw Rad and Enid. "Kooooo! Are you here buddy?" Rad said, he felt something tap his arm and it was Ko. "Oh there you are!" He beamed and picked Ko up. "How'd it go?"
"Can we just..can we just leave..?" Ko asked. That shocked Rad and Enid. "Uh..sure! Your mom was getting worried anyway." Enid said and they left.
"Oh thank cob, you're okay!" Carol cheered while hugging Ko. She stopped when she saw he wasn't smiling. "You okay peanut?" "I'm gonna go to sleep..is that okay?" Carol nodded slowly and gave a smile. He walked away and they watched.
"What happened...?" "We're just as confused as you.."
Ko tried his best to fall asleep but the fact that Shadowy was his dad kept him up. Even if Shadowy wasn't fully his dad, he still hated it. The man who tormented him for so long, the man who took everything away from everyone, the man who threatened to take away the life of Fink's boss, was his dad.
After a while he was able to fall asleep and entered the mindscape. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door. He smelled burning and opened the door.
Everything in the house was on fire and in shambles, and he spotted Tko in the corner violently shaking.
