KO and Devon stood face to face, both with glowing fists ready to punch. The girls watching from the sidelines, Fink looking more scared for KO. She knew he was strong but he never had to face a literal demon from hell! Fink just spat the gag out of here mouth, "KO, RUN FOR IT! FORGET ME!"
The rat then felt a hard slap on her cheek, "Shut up!" Mala sneered.
"HEY! Leave her alone!" KO said before sending a power fist right for her, which she dodged and the fist went straight to Fink. Luckily she was fine and the blast hit her restraints, she quickly scampered behind KO as Mala growled before ripping her dress off to reveal a skintight red spandex suit that hugged her form.
"You two are so stupid, a guy who's so naïve he trusts a literal filthy rat, and a girl who was so desperate for attention she has to bring a hero. Not only that, but the most sickeningly sweetest of them all to her prom." Mala chastised as she stood next to Devon, who looked to be in a mindless battle stance. "It's quite a shame KO, you could have had all of this," Mala traced her body as she said this, Fink just hissed at the girl while KO looked about to barf. "-but I'm over you. Only a dumb girl like Fink deserves an even dumber boy like you, I mean who would ever like a worthless little peanut head like you."
Fink snarled at he for that insult, but KO just took a deep breath. "I don't know Mala. Not to toot my own horn but I'm probably the most physically capable person on the planet, and who else has collected every known and unknown POW card? You shouldn't rag so little on Fink either, I mean she's one of the most vicious people I know and is extremely crafty to get me here. I mean seriously this party's been going on for four hours and not one person even recognized me till now, and I'm the most recognizable face in the villain universe. If that's not impressive planning, then I don't know what is. You just wish you were even a tenth of the woman Fink is, because she's a goddess while you are a fudge stain on the table cloth of humanity." Fink just blushed at his words, she sighed happily as she wrapped her arms around KO. Who just petted her on the head with a smile.
Mala just scoffed, "I'm starting to get a tooth ache, Devon toss these two into the fires of Hell!"
Devon just growled before sending a fireball towards KO, who swatted it away. The demon then charged at him for a left hook, but KO caught it and delivered a hard kick to the demon's gut that sent him flying. While these two were trading shots Fink turned her attention to Mala, she growled before ripping off her ballgown exposing a purple skintight spandex suit underneath it.
"I've had enough crap from you!" Fink charged at her rival and sent her crashing through the wall, landing the two girls in the ladies locker room. Mala tried to land two punches, but Fink ducked before catching the third one and judo throwing her over her shoulder. Fink then picked up the red head and slammed her head first into one of the bathroom mirrors, glass shattering all over the floor.
"MY FACE!" Mala screamed in rage before tackling the mutant to the ground before mounting her and raining punches. "NO! BODY! RUINS! MY! PER! FECT! FACE! AND! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!" she yelled as her fists connected on impact. Fink then grabbed her by the throat, squeezing the oxygen out of her until she got of her. Fink then repeatedly slapped her over and over again before tossing her into a hallway.
(Back to KO and Devon)
KO and Devon were trading blows as they shockwaves from each collision shook the entire room, the two even forming a little crater from their exchange. Devon then got the upper hand with a wicked uppercut to the jaw that sent KO flying up high, he then teleported behind the hero and hit a wheelbarrow kick that launched KO to the floor. Devon then sent a barrage of flaming skulls down on KO, KO braced himself as each projectile hit their marks.
After about fifty skulls, KO's arms looked burned up. He lowered them to see the demon coming down with a flaming right, but KO caught him with a surprise high kick that sent him crashing into a table. KO panted after that, "What's gotten into Devon?" he questioned as he ducked behind a turned over table to hide. "He's usually not this destructive, unless you take his chili fries. Something's not right, and by golly I will find out what." His eyes widen went he heard the table disintegrate, he looked behind to see Devon with a fist raised before it connected with his jaw.
KO was launched into the air and into a drum set, "As soon as he stops trying to kill me." he then quickly grabbed two symbols from the drums, and slammed them right onto an incoming Devon's head. This caused the demon's ears to start ringing uncontrollably, he growled as he held his head in pain. This gave KO enough time to whirl around the stunned demon and deliver a German suplex through a nearby table. KO slowly stood and panted, "I don't know how much I have left, (pant, pant) gotta find Fink and regroup." KO slowly jogged over to where he saw the girls went.
The demon just growled before dissolving into a dark mist and phasing through the floor.
(with Fink and Mala)
The girls' fight took them all the way to the roof. Mala was down on her knees panting in exhaustion, with scars on her arms and chest, and her suit torn in places but barely staying on. Fink just stood with only some mild smudge, which she wiped off the side of her lips with a smirk. "I'll admit, you put up a good fight." she then manifested a ball of turbo energy in her hand, to which Mala went wide eyed at. "But not good enough. I've been fighting since I was born, you on the other hand use physical combat as a last resort, which means you don't have enough experience with violence."
She aimed her glowing hand at Mala, who just glared at her "Any last words, bitch?"
Mala snarled, but saw something and smirked "Look down."
"Huh-"
Fink was interrupted when she was caught in a pillar of dark magic, she was then met with a devastating kick to the face but an angry Devon. She was knocked back into a nearby satellite dish. She groaned before looking up to see Mala behind Devon, who looked much more muscular with horns longer and curvier, and his tail now looked like a dragons with spikes at the end of it. "Oh crud."
"Oh Fink, you poor little girl. You have so little, while I was born with everything. The money, the brains, the body, everything you never had. You have some fancy life force or whatever, but as long as I have this guy around my finger" she patted the more sinister Devon n the shoulder, "I'm unstoppable! Oh sweety, finish her off."
He obeyed as he readied his laser eyes, Fink watched as a large red laser was shot right at her. She braced herself for whatever hell she would be sent to. Mala laughed as she would finally be rid of her biggest rival and top enemy. The impact created an explosion with a mushroom cloud forming, Mala looked on in sweet victory. Devon panted, that attack took a lot out of him as he reverted back to his normal state. Just then he gasped before looking around in confusion, his eyes now back to just white with red irises.
"How did I get up here?" he questioned, he then heard dark cackling before turning to see "Mala?"
"Oh, it seems the effects wore off. But not to worry, I've done what I wanted. How about we head back down and celebrate our victory?" Mala suggested a litte seductively.
"What happened?" he responded.
"Oh, I'll explain after our d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d~" she stuttered as she looked behind the confused demon as the smoke cleared up, what she was expecting to see the remains of a dead mouse mutant. But was instead of the guy she brought, but with a golden aura and her eyes were a golden color instead of brown.
Devon just tilted his head at her, "What's wrong? Do I have a boogie?" suddenly he heard a loud yell before turning around to see a huge golden stream of power fists heading straight towards him, "OH MY GOD!"
He ducked out of the way, leaving Mala to take the full brunt of the power stream of fists. Sending her flying into the night off the roof of the school, "AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH, I HATE ALL OF YOU!"
Devon just slowly stood up holding his head before seeing who it was, "KO?" the human/werewolf young adult just got in a battle stance "No wait! It's me, Devon from Strike Force Alpha!" he put his hands up defensively.
KO calmed down as he went back to is base form, "Oh, good. But what happened man, you went all crazy back there."
"I don't know, last thing I remember was talking to you then I ran into Mala and everything after that was a total blur." he shrugged. "Anyway, I think I had enough for tonight. I'll catch you later next Friday at bowling practice," he sprouted wings before lifting off "Good luck with the wackjob!"
"You two!" He waved seeing the demon disappear into the night.
Fink walked up to him and said, "Wow, you weren't kidding about the bowling team thing."
"Yeah, he often has random burst of demon rage. But this seemed different, I wonder what could have happened." KO said.
Fink just sighed, "Well it doesn't matter now anyway, everyone is out cold and the dance hall is in shambles." she then gained a look of guilt, KO was a little worried for a second. "KO, I think it's best if you go home. This entire night has been a disaster, and that was before they Prom became a brawl. I was stupid to think I can pull it all off." Fink drooped and turn to leave, but KO grabbed her arm.
"Wait, Fink. Be honest with me, do you like me?" Fink raised an eyebrow, but she didn't get to respond. "Even though this night wasn't as planned, and I was brought here against my will, and I've seen some rather inappropriate images, I had actually had a lot of fun with you." she looked away.
"Yeah right, all I did was drag you to a place that could get you killed in a million ways. Besides what's there about me to like, I hurt people, I steal things, I work for a mad scientist and live with a loon who comes up with creative ways to commit pity crimes, and I have a track record longer than the span of the universe. Only an idiotic masochist would want to be in a committed romantic relationship with a girl like me-" Fink the felt herself get turned around and locked in another kiss from KO. This time with more passion and a tighter grip around her.
She tried to push him off like last time, but her fight with Mala and that kick from Devon zapped about all of her energy. She was certain that this was another trick to make think he actually loved her the way she loves him, but then it dawned on her that this wasn't a trick. She wasn't going crazy, KO must either be extremely brave or stupid. Her money was on the latter, but it was a cute kind of stupid. She just shrugged and kissed back with as much passion as she can muster.
The scene transitioned to the remains of the dance hall, the other villains still knocked out as the hero and mutant shared a slow dance to a song KO had on his phone. The two moved elegantly through the hall, the spotlight shined brightly on them. KO halted their dance to pull out a small golden tiara with a large diamond, she gasped before putting it on while he put on a big crown with various jewels on it. The two continued their dance with Fink resting her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat along to the slow song.
'Even though this night hasn't gone as planned, it got the result I wanted. I may get in trouble in school Monday, but I don't care. I love KO, more than anything.'
'Even though she's evil, she's the most beautiful, smart, and fun person to be around. Though we are on opposite sides, I think we can make work.'
KO then dipped her, the two stared lovingly into each other's eyes, leaning into one another. Their foreheads touching, smiles plastered all over their faces.
"Here's to something beautiful..."
"... and crazy..."
The two finished off with a kiss.
Stay tuned for the epilogue next chapter.
