They both stared each other down, waiting for the other to throw the first hit. Finally Pko attacked and Shadowy shot a few blasts. Pko dodged them and shot a few of his own. This continued for a while until Pko kicked Shadowy in the chest.

Shadowy caught himself before he hit the ground and Pko flew towards him. He stopped and realized the turbonic people were surrounding them. He looked back at Shadowy who was smirking and he growled.

He started to form a disempowerment dome to drain their energy, and it worked. They all start to collapse and he looked away. He felt bad for hurting them like this, but it had to be done. He looked over to where Shadowy was hoping it affected him too, but it didn't.

He still stood there with a toothy grin on his face. "How.." "Where do you think you got the ability to do that?" He said. Pko started to make it bigger but he still didn't fall. "This isn't fair!" "You never said this had to be a fair fight. Let's hurry it up, I don't have all day."

"WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS!?" Shadowy gave a confused look. "You always fight us just to mess with us..why!? We aren't fighting you to play around, we're gonna take you down!" Pko shouted. Shadowy was quiet but then started to laugh. "You see this as a game? I guess I'm not being serious.." He started to float, A black and violet aura engulfed his body.

He raised his arm and swung a blast from it. Pko dodged it but the damage of it broke the ground and a crater was left. He was serious now, but that made Pko grin.

Shadowy did it several times and Pko was able to dodge them all. He got close and landed a kick on him.

The kick did nothing and he sweat dropped. He kept kicking but it still did nothing. "What the heck!" He leg was grabbed, the grip was so tight it almost broke. He was thrown into the ground.

He stood up and looked at Shadowy but all he saw was a blast headed for him and he was hit on the head, he felt blood drip from it. He was about to shoot an attack but more blasts were coming at him. His arm was sliced open and he hissed in pain.

He saw one more coming and closed his eyes waiting for it to hit. He heard it and opened his eyes. He didn't see anything new but felt something at his side. He looked at it and saw blood soaking his shirt.

"Ah.." he fell over and clutched his side. Shadowy came down and walked slowly towards Pko. Pko lifted his head and saw Shadowy giving him a cold stare. He tried to stand up but fell over every time he tried. "No no..no.." tears formed in his eyes, was this it?

Ko and Tko were both having a hard time keeping Pko together. Even if the injuries didn't affect them in the mindscape, they still felt the pain. Ko felt Tko's fear and looked at him. He was shaking and crying.

"We can't..we can't beat him..he's gonna kill us.." His voice cracked. Ko never saw him like this, he didn't know what to do. "Tko..he's not gonna kill us." Tko looked at him. "I won't let him. I'm not gonna let him take everyone away, he's done so much and I'm tired of it." Ko slowly got up and held his hand out to Tko. He hesitated and Ko glared.

"Tko..stand up! You aren't weak so stop acting like it! We're gonna beat him, we're gonna live, and we're gonna finally go home and eat Mommy's spaghetti!" Ko cheered. Tko chuckled at that and took his hand.

"But..what are we supposed to do? He can actually fight.." Tko said. Ko thought for a bit and spoke. "We talk to him." Tko squinted at him and he started again. "You know like how Dendy used to talk to me by saying nice things and bringing me back?" He nodded slowly and Ko continued. "Well..we don't talk to Shadowy, we talk to Professor!"

"But he said he was gone.." "If he was gone, then Shadowy Venomous wouldn't exist right? He's like Pko!" Tko finally understood and they woke up.

Pko looked around, he could barely move but saw Shadowy Venomous near the turbonic beam, he was making it grow. He sat up and that caught Shadowy's attention. "You're still alive.." he scowled and flew towards Pko readying an attack.

Pko stood up and spoke. "Professor..are you okay?" Shadowy stopped. "What did you just say?" "Are you okay, Professor." He looked at Shadowy, he had an angered expression.

"Venomous is gone." "No he's not. If he was then there wouldn't be a Shadowy Venomous, just Shadowy Figure." That made Shadowy growl. "NO! Venomous is gone, it's only me!" He shot a blast and Pko, but he shot his own attack cutting through Shadowy's blast and hitting him.

"Professor..why did you do it? Why did you accept this deal? We could've gotten rid of him and everything would have been okay. Instead you choose ending the world and trying to kill your son, why?"

"I SAID-" "You're making everything worse, you were against this so why.." He slowly walked to Shadowy and levitated. "IM SHADOWY! I TOOK OVER AND HE'S GONE!" Pko ignored him and grabbed his coat. "I will never accept you as my dad. Heck, I don't think anybody will accept you for the things you've done when this is all over." Pko stated and Shadowy stopped.

"But there are people who still accept you..after everything. Fink..she cares about you, and you care about her. You turned her into one of them, you took her life away from her. But even after all of that, I know she would still stand up for you and care for you."

He didn't say anything, he looked and saw Fink's immobile body. He felt tears form in his eyes, he couldn't understand why. He didn't care about anybody here so why did this happen..was it really Venomous?

Suddenly he felt a punch hit his chest, it felt like if it was pushed in further it would pierce into him. He collapsed and coughed a black goo out of him. Pko looked at it, it was trying to grow and reform into something else. He frowned and walked over to it.

"Shadowy..it's over. Goodbye." Pko said and stomped on it as hard as he could. It was gone, he looked at Venomous and smiled. The disempowerment dome started to disappear and he fell backwards. "Huh..I can't move anymore.." he could barely keep his eyes open, but he smiled. "It's over.."

In the mindscape, they were both ready to pass out. "Ko.." Ko looked at Tko. "We did it..it's over..!" He smiled and Ko smiled back. They gave each other a high five and finally got laid down to get well deserved rest.

All the turbonic people slowly turned back into themselves, and the beam coming from the ground disappeared.

"Enid! ENID!" Enid opened her eyes and was being shook by Rad. "I'm up I'M UP!" He stopped and hugged her. "Dude..what happened?" She asked. Rad let go and shrugged. "I think we like..got controlled or something.." "Oh." They laughed then stopped. They looked around but couldn't find Ko.

"Oh my cob..where is he..!?" They saw everyone was surrounding the area Ko and Venomous were in. They ran through them and saw him, "KO!?" They ran towards him and held him, he was still breathing..that was good. They looked at Venomous and noticed Fink sitting near him.

"Boss..boss! Wake up..!" She was shaking him and they watched with sadness. After a while he coughed and jumped awake. "Boss!" She cheered and hugged him. He looked at her and hugged back.

"You promised you wouldn't leave..why did you do it..?" She asked. "It was dumb I know, I'm sorry." He said. He looked at everyone and they were all afraid. He looked at Ko and stared at the ground. He thought about what he said, and he was right. Even if nobody accepted him, he had Fink, and he was okay with that.

Ko woke up in a hospital bed. His vision was blurry and he heard mumbling. Once everything was clear he saw Rad, Enid, and his mom. They all had big smiles on their faces and he heard them speak.

"Ko! You're finally awake!" Rad cheered. "W-was I asleep for a long time..?" "Only a few days." He looked around. "Am I in a hospital?" Carol nodded. "They started to fix up everything already, the hospital was first so they could treat injured people." "Ohh"

"I think they're mad at us..we've been visiting everyday waiting for you to wake up and they seem more annoyed every time." Rad laughed nervously. "We should probably get going now, we promised we'd help Mr. Gar start fixing up the bodega." Enid said as she stood up. "Oh right! Sorry Ko, see you soon?" He nodded and they waved bye.

"I'll have to go soon too." Ko looked at Carol with sad eyes and she chuckled. "Come on hun, I'll come back tomorrow. I promised I'd help some people fix things too, is that okay?" "Yeah!" She smiled and gave him a kiss on his forehead. "I love you, and I'm happy that you're okay." She waved bye and so did he.

He closed his eyes and smiled.

"It's finally over."
