After that heart to heart with Gar, KO felt a huge weight was lifted off his shoulder. For the first time since his secret was out, he actually had someone that supported him. KO was so happy that his boss and mommy's boyfriend Eugene Garcia, AKA Mr. Gar, was a full supporter of his relationship with the minion of one of the most evil professors in the world. Finally, someone who accepted his romance with Fink. Although he was also mentally scarred after getting... "The Talk". 'So long childhood, it was nice knowing you'.
Just then a miniature KO appeared on his shoulder, wearing a white shirt with a smile on it that said 'Childhood', shorts, a beanie, and had a lollipop in his hand. "Okay, bye KO!" mini KO said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
When he got back to the front of the store, he found his friends and mom casually whistling a tune acting like they weren't eavesdropping on him. He rolled his eyes playfully, "Okay guys, I know you were listening."
"Look KO, relationships are not easy. There's a lot of hard work and sacrifice you need to have in order to maintain a healthy and long lasting romantic bond." Enid told him.
"Dude, relationships are tough. Especially with someone who is not even on the same spectrum of good and evil, and I should know." Rad added, "My last girlfriend was a shapeshifting killer Shannon-bot! And if I was being honest- ("Which was rarely" Enid) the good memories we shared still linger in my heart, and they're never going away." the alien stock boy said with a surprising level of deepness.
"You only dated for one day!" Enid argued, "But I guess that's all it takes."
KO then felt his mom's firm hand on his shoulder, and he saw her kneel down in front of him with a nervous smile "KO, what Eugene said made me realize something. The bond you and Fink share is something even the best of heroes can ever hope for, I mean it took around a decade till me and Gar had something special. And you KO, found that bond in another living and breathing being and so much more at just a young age. Oh, my little boy is all grown up!" she gushed as she squeezed her son tightly, KO hugged her back. The boy was starting to get teary eyed again, she then pulled back and told him with motherly pride "KO, I have always supported you in your decisions. And I ain't gonna start now, you have my support 110%!"
KO beamed at his mommy's words. He then turned to his friends.
"If this is what you really want," Enid then flashed him a smile "then you have my support too!"
"Same here little man!" Rad gave him the finger gun, to which he returned. But before any of them can do anything else.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"FINK!" KO screamed as he rushed to the break room, leaving a trail of smoke on the way there. "What's wrong hon- GAH!"
He freaked the second he reached his destination, something was terribly wrong. Right in the center of the break room was his girlfriend Fink on her knees clutching her head, and pouring with toxic turbonic energy. He had seen her turbo state before, but this was something much worse. Along with the spiked collar and fingerless gloves, her dress looked more black and torn and her hair was all messy and unkept. And her eyes were glowing a raging purple, plus she was starting to foam at the mouth. "Fi-Fink?"
The rat just looked to him with a mixture of a hungry bear and frighten concern, "K-KO," her voice sounded coarse and ragged, "RUN!"
"From wh-"
(cut to outside)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- OOF!" KO yelled as he was shot from through the ceiling of the bodega into the parking lot, he landed back first onto the hood of a car. He groaned as he tried to stand up, "Oh man what the heck happened?" he was snapped out of his pained trance when he heard a feral scream and was tackled by what was his girlfriend, now looking up he saw a deranged rabid turbo rat mutant. He kicked her off of him, then made a run for it. She chased him through the lot on all-fours.
"Fink, what's gotten into you!" he panicked as he was now dodging cars flung at him from behind, just then a flaming semi-truck was now blocking his path. He was then grabbed from behind and slammed into side of the vehicle, the now feral Fink was now bashing his head repeatedly until he nose was letting out a little blood. She then slammed him to the ground and stomped hard onto his chest, he then sweated as he saw her lift a glowing hand up.
"Fink, snap out of it!"
"This is what I think of our relationship!" something didn't feel right to him. Though it came out of her mouth, it didn't sound like his girl. While Fink sounded a mix of sweet and threatening, this was just demonic and cruel sounding. And that soulless look in her glowing eyes, reminded him of what happened at P.O.I.N.T. Prep with Sparko and Elodie thanks to Chip Damage. He saw her point that hand right in his face, something was not right with her.
"Hey you!" he was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his friends running towards them with a flaming boot and glowing finger blaster, before the crazed Fink can respond she was knocked very far away. Enid and Rad helped him up.
"Are you okay KO?" Enid asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." he said lowly.
"Man, what was that? That little mutant went all crazy and tried to kill you, and after everything that happened!" Rad exclaimed. Enid shook her head.
"I should have known something like this would have happened, relationships between heroes and villains don't end well and this was no different." she said with a serious look on her face.
"What?" KO then told them, "But guys, it's not what you think!"
"I'm sorry KO, but we tried to warn you. Just when you think you can trust her, she tries to blast you into oblivion." Enid replied.
"It's me and Shannon all over again!" Rad added as he and Enid went back into the store, KO followed them and tried to talk to them.
-After work-
When KO and his mom got home, they had a little talk about what happened. Immediately KO started, "I'm telling you mommy, it doesn't seem right. I know Fink is a villain through and through, but she is not a monster. She wouldn't kill me after all those months we spent together, I just know she wouldn't! You got to believe me mommy!" he cried as he clung to his mothers knees as she sat on the couch.
"I do KO."
"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WE HA- wait did you say yes?" KO realized what she said.
"Look KO, I meant what I said earlier. You and Fink have a very special bond, she wouldn't just throw all that away. I believe you when you say this wasn't her fault." she said to her son.
"I as well." the mother and son jumped when Dendy popped up out of nowhere. "This wasn't just a simple attempt of an execution dumping, I analyzed the being known as Fink during the attack." she said as she showed them a complicated holographic chart thingy, "These are the results, and in that moment she was producing an alarming amount of an unidentified state of turbonic energy. The type that when overexerted too much can cause the host to have the mental state of a blood thirsty shark with stage-4 rabies, just like when she was overworked at Boxmore." she hypothesized.
"Also, she forgot her tablet in the break room." she pulled out the tablet we saw Fink use in the last chapter. "And what I saw was that she had a video call with a certain someone who's name rhymes with 'Blemonous'".
Fink: Listen boss, there's something I need to tell you. About the plan with KO-
Venomous: I know.
Fink: What?
Venomous: There was no plan, you actually do like him don't you. Even though it's considered forbidden even amongst the villain circuit, you still courted in secret. Isn't that true?
Fink: (sigh) Yes, I can't keep this from you anymore. But boss, I really like KO a lot. No, I LOVE HIM! For the first time in my life, I felt happy with another being outside the lab. He makes me more confident, and special. If you can't handle the love we share, than you can just SUCK IT!
Venomous:... well, I admire your honesty. And I can see that he makes you happy, and it pains me... that I have to do this. (Pressed a button)
Fink:...… what the... oh do-oooh man... what did you-
Venomous: I'm sorry.
