NOTES: Forgot to mention in the first chapter, that there is no timeline between this and the cartoons, except…that the fighting tournament never happened.

Bit of a cop out chapter, as this contains a lot of re-capping from the other stories or at least filling some gaps.

This chapter will contain some swearing.

Chapter 2

Over 13 years ago.

Boxman was already awake but he always had a purpose for this. It wasn't just to get up and start planning on how to destroy the heroes, or getting up to make new robots. Work had nothing to do with it. Boxman was lying in the bed, his head on his chicken hand and sighing at the most beautiful thing next to him: Professor Venomous.

The purple man started to stir, an indication that he was about to wake up. Boxman always loved watching PV wake up…like an angel ready to set sail to heaven. Venomous had his back to Boxman but turned in his waking stir. He slowly opened his eyes, trying to focus what was in front of him. A few blinks cured the blurriness and saw Boxman blushingly smile at him…Venomous smiled back.

VENOMOUS: (Stretching) Mmmm. Hey~

BOXMAN: Hi PV. Did you have a nice sleep? It sure looked like you did.

VENOMOUS: Yeah. I did actually. I had a strange dream though.

BOXMAN: Oh…?

VENOMOUS: (Yawns) Yeah. Can't remember half of it, something about…me, uh, killing everyone…

BOXMAN: That doesn't sound too bad.

VENOMOUS: I killed you to, Boxman.

BOXMAN: Ah. That does sound a little awful. (Venomous sits up) Well, I don't dream anymore.

VENOMOUS: You don't…?

BOXMAN: No. (Rests his head on Venomous's chest) Why should I dream, when it's come true in front of me right now?

VENOMOUS: (Chuckles) Aw, Boxman. Thank you.

BOXMAN: You're welcome. (Sighs happily) Not long till the big day, eh? Us getting married. Oooh, I'm so excited.

VENOMOUS: Yeah. (Changes the subject) Boxman…?

BOXMAN: Yes, PV.

VENOMOUS: Did I tell you that…I…had a fight with KO and Fink?

BOXMAN: Yes, I believe you did.

VENOMOUS: And that they stopped me from…this, entity, taking over from me…

BOXMAN: Uh, you mentioned you did have an alter ego…

VENOMOUS: Yeah. What I need to ask is…have you seen me change? Have you seen me become Shadowy?

BOXMAN: Not yet, no.

VENOMOUS: That's good.

BOXMAN: You're scaring me, PV. More than usual. Are you saying this…Shadowy Figure is out of control?

VENOMOUS: (Sighs) If Shadowy can attack kids…then he has no boundaries. He'll kill anyone he see's. Shadowy may even kill you. I wish…I knew what he was thinking, right now…

BOXMAN: I know you'll never hurt me, PV.

VENOMOUS: I won't! But Shadowy will. I need to get to the bottom of this, like I promised to my son and minion.

Venomous gets up from the bed and begins to put some clothes on. Underwear and trousers first. Boxman just simply watched him…not believing his luck that a man like Venomous would ever love him back, but he does.

BOXMAN: Where are you going?

VENOMOUS: I need to…figure this out and quick.

Boxman was about to reply but Venomous had already left the room. Boxman got increasingly worried for Venomous, though he had never seen him as Shadowy before, he could tell that this alter ego was highly dangerous…even Fink said not to mess with that person. Boxman felt helpless but he knew Venomous would come to him for help…for now, it was best to leave Venomous along for a while. Boxman eventually got changed himself.

…

With his lab destroyed, Venomous had his own place at Boxman's factory. Perfect for isolation and away from stress…though that stress would eventually catch up on him. But he had bigger problems…and that was trying to get rid of Shadowy.

Venomous felt sick…he rushed to a sink, and even though he could feel the sickness in his stomach, no sick came out, except to give him hot flushes and a racing heartbeat. This was normally the beginning of his transformation. There was nothing he could do to stop it.

VENOMOUS: Feel…s-so…helpless…

He looked at the mirror, his face was dripping with sweat…but his reflection quickly turned to Shadowy.

LET ME OUT!

VENOMOUS: NO!

SHADOWY: YES!

VENOMOUS: I…I won't let you…

SHADOWY: Doesn't matter. (Chuckles) I'll take over you soon!

VENOMOUS: Not if I can help it!

Venomous tries to move but he's body won't let him…he struggles to move his legs but his whole body was resisting.

SHADOWY: You never learn, do you? I'm taking over!

Venomous grits his teeth and eventually has control over his body…he looks around and spots his clip board, he stumbles to the lab table as if he was drunk, accidently knocking a few glass flasks over…he grabs a pen, a simple task becoming impossible….and writes on a clip board, not caring what was on it…

His hand was shaking and the writing becoming all messy and almost unreadable…but after a few attempts, he writes a sentence. But after he finishes, he gives up his body and falls to the ground…he screams, as if in pain…but then laughter escapes his mouth.

SHADOWY: HAHAHA! No one can stop me! Time to end this world!

Shadowy's form was complete and his cloaked appeared over his body. He takes a run up and smashes through the window, taking an easy way out to escape.

After a few moments, Boxman comes bursting in.

BOXMAN: PV? What's wrong?

There was nobody here…aside from a few smashed glasses and a window. Boxman shook his head.

BOXMAN: Oh no…

Boxman noticed a letter…it looked like it had been written by a child. Boxman could see that Venomous had a few attempts to write a sentence but quickly adverted his eyes to the line that was clearer.

"Please. Leave. World in danger. Leave. Now. I'll find you. I. Love. You

PV xxxx"

BOXMAN: Oh God…it's too late…

…

Within an hour later…

*This fight is from the first story, like I said, best read them first.*

…

KO and Fink were pushed from their feet and went flying, landing on the ground hard. They both whimpered in pain. Shadowy Figure laughed at his actions.

SHADOWY: You think you can stop me? A bunch of kids? NO! I am powerful, I am God. I will destroy this world and you can't stop me! NO ONE CAN! (Laughs evilly)

KO sat up and Fink held on to her chest, also sitting up.

KO: He's right. We can't stop him. He's too powerful.

FINK: (Annoyed) We can't give up.

KO: Face it, Fink. He's won.

FINK: Since when do you give up? You're a good guy, ain't ya? Nothings stopped you before!

KO: But he's too strong.

FINK: (Frustrated) Then bring "him" out!

KO: What? Who…?

FINK: Who do you think? You need to go turbo. We need TKO

KO: No, no way!

FINK: It's our only chance! You've got to let him fight.

KO: But…I can't control him.

FINK: In this situation, maybe that's not a bad thing.

KO: I'm not going turbo.

Just then, KO felt pain across his face which made him lose his balance and lied on the ground. He cried at such pain and saw Fink with her hands clenched. It was her, of course, that punched him.

KO: What are you doing?

FINK: We need TKO!

KO: By punching me?

FINK: I'm trying to piss you off! You need to be angry!

Fink then swung another punch but KO jumped out of the way.

KO: This isn't going to work!

Fink ignored him as she kept lashing out at him. Shadowy just watched on, laughing at every moment. He was enjoying what he was seeing.

SHADOWY: (To himself) So, these two are the world's saviours. What a joke.

Fink span and threw punches while KO dodged them until Fink saw an opening and kicked him in the chest. KO fell on the floor hard and Fink jumped on top of him but KO grabbed both of her hands.

KO: This isn't helping!

FINK: THEN GET ANGRY!

KO: NO!

FINK: THEN YOU'RE FOREVER A WIMP, MOMMA'S BOY!

KO: D-Don't call me that…

FINK: Why? Is it annoying you? Are ya getting angry…MOMMA'S BOY!

KO: I said, don't call me that!

FINK: MOMMA'S BOY!

KO: Stop…SAYING THAT!

FINK: MOMMA'S BOY, MOMMA'S BOY, MOMMA'S BOY, MOMMA'S BOY, MOMMA'S BOY, MOMMA'S BOY!

KO: NO. I'M. NOT. (Purple arura surrounds him and he pushes Fink off with ease) I'M NOT A MOMMA'S BOY!

Fink was pushed but landed on her feet. KO then levitated off the ground and the purple arura went darker and the static around him seem to get fiercer. Fink smiled and watched in awe. KO's red sash around his head, slowly peeled off, his square hair loosening up, becoming wavy and spikey. His clothes becoming darker and torn…the goodness from his eyes becoming black with rage and evil. He screamed his frustrations out, as if the transformation was causing him pain. Shadowy was still watching and was very impressed.

The transformation was complete, as KO gently landed on the floor. He breathed heavily, and clenched his fists tighter and tilted his head, side to side, getting rid of all the cricks in his neck. He started to chuckle…as his voice was more grainer and deeper than ever. TKO was released.

TKO: (Looks at his hands) It's good to be…released, once again. (Looks at Fink) So, cutey, you gonna go turbo too?

Fink normally hated being called "cute" but on this occasion, she lets it slide as she knew attacking TKO would be a bad move, she also blushed slightly at being called that by someone more evil than her…no, she just liked it coming from him…

FINK: (Nods) I will now. Both of us should be able to take on Shadowy now.

TKO: Well, transform then, sweetheart.

Fink, from her last story, cringed at that world but instead loved it. She obliged, as she pulled out a glorb from her pocket and put it in her collar. The glorb sucked into the collar and within seconds, Fink turned turbo, as her fur became more fiercely and her hands grew sharper claws, as did her fangs and spike wristbands appeared.

SHADOWY: Now the fun begins. Let's play a little before I kill you both.

TKO and Fink then pushed themselves off the ground and flew towards Shadowy at super speed but Shadowy didn't flinch. They pointed their fists at him, which started to glow purple from each clenched fist. Shadowy dodged their flying move. TKO and Fink regrouped and shot purple lightning bolts at Shadowy, who just simply reflected them. TKO then clasps his hands together and produced a thick dark purple ball, that flashed violently, he chucked it in the air, as it grew bigger and Fink flew above the lighting ball, span in the air a few times and stuck out a leg, kicking the ball towards Shadowy at lighting speed…this surely would take him out…but Shadowy seemed to sink in the ground, dissolving into a puddle and disappearing, just in time as the lighting ball exploded to where Shadowy was standing. From their view, it seemed like TKO and Fink got him…but Shadowy wasn't there…the puddle now becoming some sort of liquid smoke, as he danced in the air, before reappearing as whole. TKO and Fink gasped.

SHADOWY: Not bad, not bad at all. I taught you well. But you don't need HER!

Without warning, Shadowy shot a beam at Fink, which electrocuted her, she screamed in pain as her turbo form disappeared and started falling.

TKO: FINK?!

TKO flew to Fink's aid and grabbed her just in time before she hit the ground.

TKO: Fink? FINK? Talk to me…

Fink gave a little groan and coughed.

FINK: I'm…f-fine…

TKO: I thought I lost you…

Fink couldn't believe what she was hearing. No one ever said anything like that to her before, except maybe Professor Venomous when he wasn't being a Shadowy dick.

FINK: (Smiles) Finish him off. I know you can do it…

TKO smiled back at her and nodded, he gently put her down and faced Shadowy.

SHADOWY: Do…you care for her?

TKO: (Looks at Fink) Yeah. Yeah, I do.

SHADOWY: (Smirks) Then love will kill you both!

Shadowy clenched his hands, his eyes going deep purple and laughed like a maniac. TKO stood firm, ready for the attack.

SHADOWY: No one will survive this. NOT EVEN YOU!

Fink was rummaging through her pockets, she eventually found her last glorb.

Shadowy shot out a beam, which slowly turned into a roaring monster as it's teeth formed while approaching TKO. TKO then raised his hands to block the beam, as he made a force shield but Shadowy's beam smacked into him and pushed TKO off his feet, sending him flying into some rubble and fell hard onto the ground. But the beam also rebounded and headed straight for Shadowy…he too was pushed off his feet, as he rolled in the dirt until he stopped. After a few seconds, he got up, feeling blood fill up in his mouth…he spat it out and then chuckled.

SHADOWY: (Slowly gets up) I…won…

The dust was practically fog and he couldn't see anything in front of him…until he heard a scream that got extremely close to him. He gasped as he saw Fink, her sharp fangs gritted and her claws exposed, as she was flying towards him…she pulled her arm back and swiped at him, impacting on his chest, ripping his clothes and flesh. He gagged, as she got in deep and then Fink, span, sticking he leg out, making a summersault, kicking Shadowy in the face. He fell down hard again. Fink levitated until she gently touched the ground.

Shadowy was in a serious condition. Fink took a deep breath…and walked slowly to Shadowy…who was lying in the ground, very close to death, in a fetal position, holding his chest as blood was flowing through his fingers and slowly making a pool around him. He groaned in pain as it was unbearable. He looked up…and could see a small figure walking towards him, he felt rage as he saw Fink coming towards him, emerging from the now dying dust cloud.

SHADOWY: You? (Grits his teeth) Why…? Why have you done this to me? After all the things I've done for you. I created you, I made who you are…and t-this is the thanks I get…?

FINK: I'm sorry…but you did nothing for me. My boss was the one who showed me who I was…and you took that away from me…

SHADOWY: And he ain't coming back! He's gone! Not only h-have you…k-killed me but you've killed HIM!

Fink closed her eyes…tears were welling up.

VENOMOUS: Fink…?

Fink opened her eyes, she gasped as Venomous was trying to communicate from his alter ego.

VENOMOUS: It's okay…

FINK: Oh Boss…I'm…I'm sorry…

VENOMOUS: No…d-don't be. You're a turbo and no turbo is sorry…

FINK: I…I had to do this. It...it was the only way. (Starts to get teary) I just…didn't like who you become. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But…he was controlling you…

VENOMOUS: He's…(In pain) AAAGHHHRRR! He's coming bac-SHADOWY: KILL HER!-VENOMOUS: NOO!

FINK: (Getting worried) There's no other way…

VENOMOUS: (Getting weaker) Maybe…you're right…this is for the best. (Coughs up more blood) Kill me. End my suffering!

FINK: (Sobs) I…I understand. I'll n-never forget you, boss…

VENOMOUS: Tell…KO, I'm sorry for…e-everything. No…f-father should hurt his s-son. I'm sorry I hurt you. Please, tell KO that…

Fink didn't answer expect nod. Fink wipes away the tears…she had to kill her own boss, he was suffering enough…nothing else could help him. She clenches her fist, ready to punch through his chest and stop the hurt.

VENOMOUS: I'm…s-so proud of you…Fink…

Without any hesitation, the fist went through her boss's chest, ripping through the rib cage, and squashing the once beating heart, killing him instantly and Shadowy.

Fink cried some more…as she pulled her fist out of the chest, blood dripped from his hand as Venomous eyes stared blankly into the sky, a wry smile on his face.

Fink fell to her knee and couldn't hold back the tears, as they flowed down her face, and hugged her dead boss. Sobbing uncontrollably.

…

PRESENT DAY(ish) Two Weeks Ago.

Boxman was in his new office as he reopened a new factory far away from the city, though not as big as his last one, which he abandon. He had sent his last two surviving robots, Darrell and Shannon to go looking for KO and Fink. The outside of the building just looked like some offices but on the inside it was warm and cosy…this room was more of a study.

It had been so long since Boxman made an appearance in the city…but he was instructed by Venomous to leave the city and that the beautiful purple man will find him, no longer how long it takes…it been almost 13 years…

Boxman has always fully committed to Venomous and thus took things to far or literal. Those 13 years just breezed past for Boxman, his motive was that Venomous would come knocking on that door…he was crazy afteral…or maybe just in denial and couldn't accept that Venomous was dead.

However…Boxman received news and strangely, only recently…that Fink killed Venomous all those years ago and rumours that Shadowy somehow survived, which wasn't possible and thus, put that nonsense to one side. Nonetheless…Boxman was angry with Fink, a little rat that would stab her boss behind his back…? For a few days, Boxman didn't accept this long awaited news…but after a few cries and the memories of being with Venomous, the laughing, the touching…the loving…Boxman grew great hatred towards the green rat…to the point he wanted answers…before he ripped her head off.

Boxman was just holding a picture of Venomous until his two trusted, if idiotic robots entered the room together. Boxman didn't bother to swivel his chair, he knew it was those two idiotic robots…he just stared at the fireplace, watching the fire dance in front of him.

DARRELL: Uh…d-daddy…? We…w-we got some bad news…

Boxman didn't bother replying. He just sighed.

SHANNON: They got away. KO and the traitor got away. We lost them.

Boxman grumbled and turned around in his chair, not looking impressed.

BOXMAN: Then…what do we do when something is lost…? (Darrell and Shannon looked at each other and shrugged) We…try and find it. Find them by any means necessary! NOW!

DARRELL/SHANNON: AH! YES, DADDY!

Shannon and Darrell both quickly leave the room. Boxman sighed…he then adverted his eyes to the picture of Professor Venomous. It had a little message on it, reading:

"To My Everything, love lots, PV xxxx"

BOXMAN: (Starts to cry) I don't know why Fink killed you, its information I've only just come across. The truth after all these years. It's been so, so long…but I swear, I will get revenge. I will avenge you, my love!

Boxman just simply holds the picture in a hugging embrace.

Just then, his floating screen visor appeared from nowhere. Projecting practically from the floor. Boxman quickly wipes his tears. A female reptilian creature with orange scales and large, prominent yellow eyes, blue eyeshadow, and a short snout. She also has medium-length tawny hair and two orange spikes on either side of her head protruding from beneath her hair…whoever this was, she was not impressed.

BOXMAN: Oh. It's you, Cosma. What do you want?

COSMA: You know what I want, Boxman. Have you found it yet!? The answer to Turbo?! To create a second life through an alter ego?!

BOXMAN: Until I find KO and that….(Starts fuming)…that little rat shit, we can't progress!

COSMA: You know my patience, Boxman, don't make me lose it!

And just like that, Cosma's face disappeared into the ground as the screen time finished. Boxman put the picture down. He went into his draw…and pulled out an old piece of paper, which was now laminated. It was the letter that Venomous had written before he turned into Shadowy.

"Please. Leave. World in danger. Leave. Now. I'll find you. I. Love. You

PV xxxx"

When Boxman examined the letter…he noticed a formula under the scribbled writing…the formula that turned Venomous into Shadowy. It had a list of ingredients …but one of them, happened to be…rats blood.

BOXMAN: Not only will I get my answers, Fink, but I will also drain all of your blood and watch you die!

…

End of Chapter. The next one will be up within the week.

If you do find it confusing, I can't say it enough that you should read the first two.
