TKO sobbed as Dendy analyzed the statue of Enid. Apparently she was transformed into it? It was a marvelous discovery.T.K.O. paced back and forth in front of the Enid made of stone as Dendy tapped into it. "Thanks for coming again Dendy," he told her. "It's just. No else understood that Enid was turned to stone! Not Mr. Gar, not Rad, not even Doc. Venomous! I just knew I could count on my friend to get to the bottom of this!"

Dendy smiled at T.K.O. "It is my pleasure, T.K.O. I will metaphorically leave no stone unturned."

T.K.O. let out a bark of laughter. "And literally, too, right?"

Dendy looked at him quizzically, before her hack pack made a beeping noise. "Oh! The results are printing!"

T.K.O. looked eagerly to them, before giving his own quizzical look at what appeared to be binary.

Dendy could read it though. "It appears the statue is made from steatite."

"What?"

"Otherwise known as soapstone. Commonly used by novice sculptors to practice carving because of its relative softness."

"No! I didn't want to know what kinda rock, I wanted to know was how to get Enid back!"

Dendy looked to the young woman. She seemed to be in a cloak to hide herself in the shadows, and had long vampiric fangs as the statue wore sunglasses. "I…haven't really tried that before…though…I suppose I could start the coding for organic transmutation…"

"Yeah!"

"But it could take months, maybe even a year or two."

"A year or two? But I need Enid back now! No one else may get her…but I want to…"

Dendy felt a spike of something sour but couldn't quite place. She stood up. "T.K.O., I really do want to help you, but I don't know how to comfort you, or how to turn Enid back…" She rested a hand on his shoulder, and he looked at her with teary eyes. "I'll talk to you tonight, okay? If Enid hasn't turned back by then, we'll ditch school and try and find out who did this and if they can change her back, okay?"

T.K.O. snivled. "Okay…"

Dendy began to walk home when she was caught off guard by some of the villain kids. Specifically, the Kid Chameleon Gang. She was about to run in fear when one of them stopped her. "Hey, what's the rush?" He asked.

"Yeah, we want you to do us a favor." The burly one added, closing in on the kappa.

"Wh-what do you need?" Dendy asked.

"Tokenssssss…" The female hissed.

"We need to get the latest game system from the arcade, and we know that you have the tokens, so cough 'em up." Chameleon Jr. leered.

"W-wait…I don't have tokens…but…but I have something better."

She didn't let the kids know her trick, but she got them the tokens that they needed. "Haha! Thanks kid!" One of them chortled as they gathered up the coins, making sure no one else got near. With that out of the way, Dendy thought she was in the clear, until she was stopped by the alien that worked at the bodega.

"Hey, Dendy, right? I saw you messing with Enid earlier today."

"I…erm…I was messing with a statue."

Rad snorted. "Okay, I know you were in the bodega, but did you see where T.K.O. and Enid went? Mr. Gar has been calling me non-stop to try and get me to do my work while I play Hooky." He gestured back to a fishing game, with the grand prize being a 1,000 techno bill.

In that short time Dendy clammed up. Rad was quite the looker. Kind of like the princes from those movies that end up in the sewers that Dendy enjoys from time to time. Usually on family movie nights.

"So you don't know where Enid and T.K.O. went at all?"

Dendy shook her head.

"Can you talk?" He growled.

Dendy gulped. "Yes." She answered hoarsely, her teeth pained from how she had subconsciously tightened her teeth by biting down on them.

"And you don't know where those slackers went to." Rad relayed.

"No, and I do believe Enid in particular wouldn't be going anywhere, seeing as she is a statue."

"What?" The alien bared his lower fangs. "Geez, listen, Dendy, T.K.O.'s."

Soon there was shouting outside. Rad and Dendy ran out to see T.K.O. chasing after a dark wizard, flying the air.

"I see." Mr. Gar said gruffly. "Playing hooky to go galavanting with a wizard, eh? Reminds me of my schoolboy days."

"I don't get any of y'all." Rad shrugged.

The wizard kept blasting spells at T.K.O. who expertly dodged them until a spell summoned a herd of cattle to stampede towards him. Dendy felt fear twinge and for a moment she thought he was a goner, but he bolted up and glared at the place the wizard once was. The doors to the dojo swung open and T.K.O. felt a twinge of fear. Sure enough the wizard was seeking refuge there. So the wizard was going to get smacked around by Laserblast, then why did T.K.O. look like he was the one that was going to face Laserblast?

There was a shout of rage and Laserblast kicked the wizard out. T.K.O. seemed to perk up before Laserblast glared at him. Laserblast marched over to his son and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. He growled lowly to him before Enid broke out and ran over. "Hey! Stop that! He was just trying to help!" Enid shouted, and Dendy nearly ran up to join her before the ground cracked. Out stepped Doc. Venomous walking over to Laserblast, who was snarling at Enid while still holding T.K.O. in a painful manner.

"Now now Laserblast," Doc. Venomous rested his hand on the other shoulder of Laserblast. This got the man to set his son down, who ran to hide behind Enid. The two seemed to speak without saying words, and Laserblast's palpable anger seemed to extinguish.

With that, it seemed everyone was able to go back on their merry way.

That night, T.K.O.'s phone went straight to voicemail.
