The group had just arrived on the outskirts of the forest, the Lakewood Crew had looks of vengeance in their eyes. They were on a mission, one they don't intend on failing. Venomous told them about an old backwoods barn that his family once owned, and the probable location of the missing kids. "Okay people, it's been a long time since I've been here. So I theorize the quickest way to find them is to split into three separate groups, the sooner we find the boy and Fink the better. If anyone happens to find the barn house first, lite a smoke flare to signal your position. Pro heroes and adults go left, robots take the right, everyone else take center."

The three groups spread out in their designated directions. After some a few miles in, Rad slumped down on a rock. "Ugh, we've been out here forever!"

"Dude, it's only been like 3 minutes." Enid retorted to him.

"Well it feels like 4!" he whined.

Enid rolled her eyes, "Whatever, Elodie and I will try to get a bird's eye view of the land. Dendy, babysit Rad till we get back." The kappa nodded as the ninja and archer jumped from branch to branch till they were on the highest peaks of side-by-side trees.

"HEY! I'm twice as old as her, I don't need babysitting!" Rad yelled out to his coworker.

"Does the poor alien require his juice boxy?" Dendy asked as she held out a small apple juice box.

"Well it is 5 o'clock." he took the box and realized what he was doing as he took a sip, "Aw cob darn it!"

Meanwhile with the two young adult women, they each looked through a set of binoculars to see if they can find anything.

"So Els, how are things going at P.O.I.N.T. Prep?" Enid asked.

"Well, it's a lot different after finding out that Chip is an android. I dropped the gifted classes for the regular courses, after that whole arc of secrecy I think it was better that I actually earn my spot as a hero instead of having it handed to me on a silver platter." Elodie replied.

Enid turned to look at her in surprise, "Wow really, I thought you were all for being the best hero, which is what that dumb school is for."

Elodie turned to her former ex-friend, "After you left P.O.I.N.T. Prep, it gave a some time to think. About what it means to be a hero, and why I wanted to be a hero in the first place." she hopped over to the ninja's tree and sat by the girl. "A true hero doesn't fight to win battles or be someone people can adore, they do what they do because it's the right thing. You don't need to cool powers or super brains or a popular personality to be a hero, and those who say powers are everything are full of crud. Enid, we may not have agreed on a lot of things, but you are 100% right that the hero business isn't a popularity contest. With the right training and dedication, anyone can be a hero. I think you are a bigger hero than I ever will be."

Enid had a shocked blush on her face at that, Elodie has never given her praise like this. "I think you're giving me too much credit Els."

"Or not enough." Elodie said, "I have did everything I could to be get into and be the star of P.O.I.N.T. Prep, things that I am not proud of. I've stepped on people, took shortcuts, and followed some shady orders from a machine. Even before I met you Enid, my parents have done everything to mold me into what they assumed would be the next top hero. You do not want to know what sort of things I've been through as a millionaire child forced to live up to their expectations. When I met you Enid, you didn't care about my rich upbringings. The only thing I ever really wanted was to have an real and honest friend, and you filled that role perfectly. You're funny, resourceful, coolheaded, and you always stand up for your friends." she pulled Enid's face close to hers, both of them blushing at the proximity. "Tossing you aside was the worst mistake of my life, your words have rung in my head since you left. I do cherish every second I'm with you, and maybe... maybe..." she bit her lip as she struggled to find the words.

"El...odie…"

"Enid..."

Neither of them knew what was going on, but it felt like some strange force was pulling their faces together. Like years of ups and downs culminating in one-

"Hey, ladies!"

GAH!

The secondary colored haired girls jumped when they saw Enid's other non-bodega gal pal Red, "We got trouble down there, I highly suggest you save the smooches for later." the time travelling hero said to the embarrassment of the two girls.

"IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" Enid screamed, to Red's amusement as the three jumped down to the ground as they saw Rad getting chased by robotic animals.

"Took you long enough." Dendy chastised as she remotely controlled one of the bear-bots from her hack pack to decimate some of the machines.

(30 minutes later)

The five stood panting and exhausted surrounded by robot appendages.

"Jeez, how are there so many robots in the middle of the forest?" Enid questioned.

"It is quite puzzling, from my readings there isn't a sustainable lab around here for miles. Something is seriously wrong here, and I think it has something to do with a certain cloaked figured." Dendy hypothesized while looking over some notes from her hack pack.

"The Grim Reaper!" Rad exclaimed

"No idiot, Shadowy Figure. Or whatever his name was." Enid reminded him.

"Oh, yeah that makes a lot more sense."

"So Enid, did you find where KO was?" Dendy asked the ninja.

"Huh, oh yeah. I think I saw an old structure about 12 miles East, right across a gorge and heavy rapids."

"12 miles!" Rad whined as he plopped to the ground.

Enid rolled her eyes as she dragged her extraterrestrial friend by the foot, "Let's just hurry up, who knows how long KO's fragile little mind can handle this situation can hold on for." the girls followed suit to where Enid pointed to. While KO's three main friends were up a little ways up, Red pulled Elodie back.

"So, how long have you and Enid known each other?" Red asked with a serious expression.

"Oh, ever since middle school. We became the best of friends forever." Red narrowed her eyes, Elodie looked away "Until this POINT thing happened before high school, but I never forgot the times we spent together. Sometimes I wished I never turned against her, then the plaza incident could have been avoided."

Red grabbed the rich heroine in training by her school blouse and glared at her, "Listen here you stuck up snob, make one wrong move around Enid again and I will plasma blast you until you're nothing but a molten puddle of mush. Am. I. Clear?" Elodie hastily nodded in confirmation, "Good, cause I'm watching you." she let her go before giving her the gesture and joining the rest of the Lakewood group.

"Geez, are all future people so jumpy?"

(With KO and Fink)

Shadowy Figure stood in front of his two pupils, not with the smug satisfaction he got when KO/TKO would win their fights with him, but with the pride of a teacher to his star student. And as a proud father of his biological son with incredible power, and how the two now split personalities learned to work together. "Even when he wasn't a part of his life, Shadowy always believed that KO was destined for amazing things. To be a hero greater than what he used to be, and to not make the same mistake he made.

KO and Fink were kneeling down on some kind of old rug as Shadowy announce, "I must say, in the past two weeks alone you have cleaned the area I assigned you AND went beyond that and cleaned the entire forest, bringing back the beauty that was once thought lost. Not only that, but in the mock battles you've went through all of them with flying colors. Fink, your tenacity and unpredictability makes you a force to be reckon with."

"Aw shucks." she modestly said as she rubbed the back of her neck while blushing.

He and KO locked eyes, "KO, a wise guy once said. 'Power isn't the hero, it's what someone does with it'. There is more to being a hero than having a flashy superpower, and saving people from burning buildings. It's not your special abilities that will make you a hero, it's your heart and desire to help the helpless, to defend the defenseless. KO, I've never been more proud." KO turned away from the words, the man that tormented him for months who turns out to be his father was giving him something he never had from a big guy at home. Shadowy sighed, he expected him to be a little apprehensive since he learned the truth.

"It's not just your individual prowess that impressed me. You two are powerful alone, but together... you're unstoppable. The love you two share is stronger than any of your turbonic energies combined. Those who say it's unholy and wrong for a hero and villain to make a courtship, like with you're power, they are afraid of what they don't understand. How you two were treated for your relationship is disgusting, maybe you should show them how powerful your love really is." he said as he pulled out two earrings with matching green crystals with dragon capsules, the kids ooh'd at the shiny things.

"What are those things?' KO asked.

"With these rings, two hearts become one." they gasped at the possibility. "With these, you two will have the combined power to eliminate those who won't comprehend your relationship."

"Eliminate?" KO questioned, "Why would we want to do that? We have supporters."

"Do we?" KO jerked his head towards Fink, who seemed to be contemplating.

"Fink." he gave her a 'what are you doing' look.

"KO, it's just" she grabbed her boyfriend's hands and encased them with hers, KO saw tears starting to form in her eyes. "Ever since our relationship has been made public, we haven't gotten one bit of support from anyone. Not even from those we love and look up to for so long, I feel it's just you and me against the world. And, that it will always be just 2 vs all."

KO gave her a reassuring smile as he wiped the tears off her cheeks, "Oh Fink, there are plenty of people that is happy with us together. Because we're happy, together."

Fink softly hiccupped as she wiped her runny nose, "Name one person that has given us a single bit of support." she challenged.

(record scratch)

KO's mind went totally blank, "Uhhh, well..." he dug through every acre of his brain to find anything that say people supported their hero-villain romance. But for some reason, he can't seem to find any.

'I should have known she would pull something like this.'

'Heroes and villains don't mix.'

'I thought you were better than that, KO. I'm very disappointed in you.'

'Rat-sucker'

'Spawn!'

'I'm sorry KO, but as long as this affair you have with Fink is still around. I'm afraid, I have to let you go'

"Huh, but... that doesn't seem right." KO scratched his head in confusion, "I swore that my friends and family would... was it all just wishful thinking?" he asked feeling dejected, Fink eased his sorrow with a tight hug light kiss on the cheek.

"Like I said, they are afraid of what they don't understand. So what do you say?" Shadowy said handing out the earrings, KO was still a little hesitant but Fink didn't need to be told twice before she grabbed one of the rings and put it on her left mouse ear. KO gave her a look, but she shrugged.

"Face it KO, our love will never be respected. Only one person will ever give us a chance, and he's the one writing this story. Kind of sad really." Fink said.

KO sighed as he come to terms that everyone is against him, no one believes in him anymore. Shadowy had a smile of victory as his son turned to his Ultra form and grabbed the earring, Fink went along and brought out her Nightmare form, but with more control than the first encounter.

"Let's show them the true power of love."

"I couldn't agree more, babycakes."

UKO clipped his earring on his right ear, not a second later till the two rings glowed brightly. The two powered up kids embraced in a long kiss as they felt their minds, bodies, and souls becoming one with each other.

"hehehehehe, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA~" Shadowy Figure laughed into the heavens as he watched his pupils come together. "Yes, YES! The ultimate form of power, at it's highest peak! This world, is mine."Unbeknownst to the two, Shadowy figured held two small round glorb looking things behind his back. One was a glowing red, and the other was a dark green.

The Lakewood group had just reached the barn, they saw the glow emanating from the old run down structure and felt a dark presence about to be unleashed on the world.

"Uh oh, this doesn't look good." Red said.

"Agreed, the levels of turbonic energy are off the charts." Dendy replied as her charts blew up in her face from the output of energy, "I'm gonna need new charts, and a new jumpsuit."

"Get ready guys, this is gonna get messy." Enid told them as she readied a flaming foot, the others prepared for battle. Rad held his finger beams ready, Dendy had her exoskeleton, Elodie has her bow and arrow, and Red aimed her plasma blasters at the barn. Just then, the barn doors flew off. And walking out of the smoke, made them all go wide eyed.

"Holy cob."

"When two star crossed hearts come together as one, you're as good as done."
