Hey guys. I am so sorry I was a month late. Always busy with school and The Bad Guys fanfic I stayed focus on, so here it is! This is another chapter based on the canon episode of OK K.O.. I hope you guys like this!


K.O. currently has eyes closed and was trying to focus, saying softly to himself, "Focus, K.O."

OK K.O.!: T.K.O.

Meanwhile, a Darrell bot was charging toward K.O. and declared, "Get ready for an extra-special beatdown!"

However, K.O. was not deterred as he stepped back, reeled his arm back, and tried to charge enough power in it as he shouted, "Powerfist!"

With his fist shrouded in light blue light, K.O. punched his arm forward, ready to deliver the move. But unfortunately, there wasn't enough power charged in his fist, so when it was released, it immediately vanished.

K.O. saw what happened and said but looked down at his hands, "No!"

Out of nowhere, Atalanta shouted at K.O., warning him about an incoming enemy, "K.O., look out!"

Unfortunately, he also didn't have enough time to process it thoroughly or hear Atalanta's cry because the Darrell bot punched him hard, sending him up into the sky. Lucky for him though, Rad easily shot a little plasma light from his finger and caught him, the proud bulky alien telling K.O., "Need a hand, kiddo?"

"Rad! You're—," K.O. commented, relieved for Rad's assistance.

Rad replied while he brought K.O. safely back down, "I know, I know. I'm your knight in shining armor. The best of the best. The biceps and the triceps…"

He quickly got interrupted when something dashed right in front of him and K.O.. It revealed to be Enid, who ran forward and jumped high before swinging with her legs to kick the Darrell bot, who had his arms and hands up to block the kick that Enid delivered. Enid and the Darrell bot exchanged blows for a quick minute before Enid saw the perfect opportunity to lift her leg up and slam it on the Darrell bot's head, slamming him right into the ground.

The recoil of hitting the ground made the Darrell bot bounce upward, with Enid quickly following him, and using her ninja-like speed, she easily caught up to him and gave a slight nudge for an elbow that caused the Darrell bot to fall back to the Earth with a loud crash.

Rad and K.O. were watching this with wide-eyed expressions while Atalanta walked by with a smirk on her face, "You know, you should talk less often, and go into action like Enid. She's really awesome," she said.

Rad scoffed and stated, "Show-off."

"Rad, you're missing the action," Enid's voice called out to the alien.

In response, Rad placed K.O. down on his head while saying before he surrounded himself with his own plasma energy and floated towards the fight, "All right, I'm coming," he left K.O. with Atalanta.

While Enid and Rad were busy fighting the heck out of the Darrell bot, Atalanta was sitting on the sidewalk while K.O. was still sitting on his head.

Atalanta chuckled and talked to K.O. while watching the fight scene, "I may not be allowed to fight because I don't know which side I would be, but it's fun to watch a battle all the time."

But K.O. ignored him as he was alone with his thoughts, thinking to himself, "I spend all my time with cool heroes at the plaza now, but I'm still getting thrashed by Darrells? Why can't I be strong like Rad and Enid?" In his mind, the scenery grew black, and he found himself sitting upright, feeling and looking blue, and said to himself, "And how could I call myself a hero when I can't even shoot a powerfist when I need it?"

What snapped him out of his mind was Enid's voice, with Enid telling a little boy while playfully tousling his hair, "Hey, power isn't everything, brush head, "You've got your own heroic qualities. Like… being cute! At least you're cute."

Rad added, "The hero thing takes time. I wasn't always this powerful. Oh, wait. Yeah, I was. You'll catch up to us someday, though. Or not."

Enid did not appreciate Rad's little side shot, giving him a deadpan look while saying, "Dude."

Atalanta cut in, and scoffed disappointedly, "It's not all about you Rad," then knelt down towards K.O., and patted his hair, "But they're right, K.O.. You need to be patient. You'll be strong enough to be a hero sooner or later. Like me, it'll take some time for me to choose if I want to be a hero or a villain… even though I can choose both, I still have to choose, so I can finally earn my POW Card!"

Suddenly, Mr. Gar appeared and told Enid, Rad, and K.O., "Good work, employees! I'll now praise your acts of heroism one by one!" He started with Enid, telling her, "Enid, very impressive foot-eye coordination, as always.

This compliment from her boss made Enid smile.

Then, he focused his praise on Rad, telling the alien, "Rad, well-done saving that small child with your finger beam! Great improvements from you both."

"Yes," Enid and Rad said together, feeling proud of their accomplishments.

Hey, Uncle Gar!" Atalanta was shown to be raising her hand while placing another hand behind K.O., "What about K.O. here? Do you have something to say to him?"

When it was K.O.'s turn to hear what Mr. Gar going to tell him, he told the little kid, "K.O. Eh… uh… Good hustle out there. Now get this cleaned up," he handed him a broom.

K.O. couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he didn't get any praise like Enid and Rad did

When Mr. Gar shouted, "All right, team! Break,"

Enid and Rad went on their break, leaving K.O. alone to clean up the mess of Darrell's broken robot parts.

Feeling pity for K.O. for not getting the praise he expected from Mr. Gar, she smiled at the little boy, and said while holding his little hands, "Sorry, K.O., but it's okay. Like I said, just be patient. You'll get there. You'll be a great hero, and you can finally get a great compliment from Mr. Gar.

K.O. gulped, and sighed sadly, "I hope so."

Atalanta stood up, and said, "Well, I better go. I have to get some snacks before my break is over. See ya!"

"Bye," K.O. waved goodbye to Atalanta before going back to clean up the mess of Darrell's broken robot parts.


Back at Gar's Bodega, everything was calm and peaceful until the alarm flashed, which indicated Boxman was sending another robot to try and destroy the plaza.

Enid and Rad both came running out of the store and Atalanta walked out with a bag of snacks, just in case she might get hungry while watching an upcoming battle, when they saw a portal open up in the sky before it dropped another box with the Boxman logo down at the ground. They both watched as the box unfolded and it showed another Darrell bot again.

"Miss me, losers?"

Enid quickly remarked, "We didn't miss you. We hit you. A lot. Remember?"

Rad praised Enid's quick whip, turning his head to ask K.O. "Whoa! Good one, Enid. Did you get that, K.O,?"

But both heroes and Atalanta were very surprised to see that K.O. was not beside them like usual.

"Well, K.O.'s out of the pictured," Atalanta stated before waxing to the Darrell bot, "Hi, Darrell!"

"Hi, Atalanta!" the Darrel bot happily waved back to Atalanta before cackling menacingly while saying to Rad and Enid, "Oh, boy. I set you up for that one. It's cool, though. 'Cause this time…" Suddenly, his chest began to glow, and the Darrell bot began to expand and show off some new parts it had while saying, "Oh, just time, I'm gonna get the last laugh!" The Darrell bot commented once he finished unleashing all his new upgrades, which showed that he now had a lot more weapons than usual, including cannons on his shoulder, a nunchuck in one hand, and a magnet in the other hand, and tractor wheels under its boots, with a cannon on his chest to top all of it off, "Pretty impressive, huh?"

Rad, Enid, and Atalanta were taking a back when they saw just how much more powerful this Darrell was compared to the ones they have battled before.

Darrell even took the time to pick up a straight car on the street and crush it with his fingers, "Lucky for me, though, I won't even need to pull punches," the cannon on his chest started to glow and load power as he added, "Once this cannon charges up, just one blast, and your precious plaza will be obliterated!

"Oh, come one, Darrell! This wasn't part of our deal!" Atalanta was shocked by this, remembering their deal the first time they met, along with Shannon and Raymond.

Rad nervously asked Enid, "I think we might need to get some help for this one."

Enid replied, "We stay and fight," she secretly hid the fact that she was nervous, but still was determined to fight and protect the store.

Rad responded, hoping that Enid was just making another joke although it was a very inappropriate time to be making any jokes, "That's another joke, right?"

Enid pointed out to Rad, "We'll never make it back in time. Are you with me or not?"

Rad hesitantly looked up at the charging Darrell bot, whose cannon was close to being all ready to fire, and answered, "Yeah. I'm with you."

But Atalanta, not choosing any side yet, gulped nervously as she confessed, "You know, my family needed me alive, right?"

Soon, the cannon was all ready to fire and already loaded with a lot of power that was strong enough to stop anyone in his tracks, and Darrell announced, "This is it, Lakewood losers!"

As Enid and Rad readied their powers and abilities to try and fight back with Atalanta readying her force field, the Darrell bot declared, "Now… prepare to—,"

However, just before he could finish or even make a move, a purple X glowed just for a second and then, Darrell showed to be still, surprised, and very still. The cannon on his chest wasn't glowing anymore, and it looked like he wasn't able to move.

Darrell could only other a single sound as his chest had been sliced through before he exploded into a bunch of pieces, with Enid, Rad, and Atalanta covering their faces to avoid getting hit or blinded.

In the distance, a stunned Enid, a shocked Rad, and a horrified Atalanta notice that within the hurricane of falling robot pieces, there was a shadow, a shadow of most likely, the person who has made that move that destroyed the Darrell bot. In the smoke, as it started to settle, the shadow was revealed to be K.O. with fit still sparking from his strike with the new power that he possessed through his hands, striking a serious pose.

With the smoke gone, K.O. looked up with serious looking his eyes while fire developed around him from the broken pieces of the now-destroyed robot.

Rad, Enid, and Atalanta quickly approached K.O., with Rad commenting the K.O. out of sheer shock, "Dude! That was amazing!"

But Atalanta doesn't feel impressed and surprised like Rad and Enid here, but she was more afraid, concerned, and worried, "Yeah, uh, good shot, pal."

Enid added, confused and surprised by what had happened, "That's putting it lightly. How did you do that, K.O.?"

Quickly, K.O. played a finger on Enid's mouth, and told her in a soft but edgy voice, "No. Not K.O. Turbo K.O. T.K.O. for short," he then walked away, heading into the store.

Enid, Rad, and Atalanta almost couldn't believe what was going on with their little buddy, who was just an innocent little boy a few hours earlier and now, with some edgy overlord of a boy. Enid looked at Rad and Atalanta, feeling concerned for K.O., "Is he serious?"

K.O., or now T.K.O., seem to hear what she said as he turned around and cackled, "You have no idea."

Atalanta kept staring worryingly for K.O.… T.K.O. as she had seen this kind of concept or event before as she muttered in fear, "Uh-oh."


The next day, inside the store, Enid, Rad, and Atalanta couldn't help but watch K.O., or what he wants to be called now T.K.O., and were shocked. He was currently just mopping the floor, looking like he was tired and disinterested, while playing loud rock music through his headphones, which they could hear because it was turned up so loud. When he knocked over the bucket of water, the poor boy died in frustration and waddled over to pick It up, grunting in frustration while he did so.

Enid approached T.K.O., commenting, "I'm liking the new cleaning technique, K.O."

All she got as an answer was T.K.O. throwing the bucket to the ground, and not paying attention to what she said.

Enid tried to get his attention by asking, "K.O.? Hey. Earth to K.O."

But when she placed her hand on his shoulder, T.K.O. quickly slapped it away, surprising her, as he addressed, "It's T.K.O."

Enid was a little taken aback with Atalanta poking out from behind, "I think he meant it, Enid. Just call him that."

Enid nodded and tried to play cool by replying, "Okay, T.K.O. How did you pull off those cool moves yesterday?"

T.K.O. seemed to scoff at the question at first before he answered bluntly, "I've realized that the whole world is a pizza of suffering and torment. The dough is betrayal, the cheese is the laughter from my so-called friends, and, there's never enough sauce."

Despite the pizza analogy sounding really delicious, to Enid, it sounded a little bit silly as she chuckled and commented, "Uh, a little dramatic, don't you think?"

"Yeah," Atalanta walked in, and complimented, "Kinda weird of using pizza metaphor… and I like pizzas."

T.K.O. was not amused one bit as he bluntly replied, "Ugh. Cram it, wage slaves."

This snapped Atalanta from worrying, and felt offended, "Hey, that's not very nice. Even my not-so-care siblings are better than that!"

That got Enid a little ticked off, making her take a little minute to stay calm and address, "Okay, as a cool person, I respect your apathetic attitude, but as your friend, this is too much."

When she thought things couldn't get any weirder, she heard Rad comment, "Oh, Enid. There's no such thing as too much," she saw that he had on a strange Indigo jacket with spikes, black pants, was wearing his hair in a sideways manner, and even had guyliner on.

Rad had this get-up on so he could try to look as cool as T.K.O. did, at least according to his view.

Rad tossed his head up while saying, "Right, little dude?"

But not even Rad was able to get a response out of T.K.O., who emotionally walked away while dragging the mop behind him, which made him very upset and unleash a small tear that stained his eyeliner. He even tried to wipe away the tear and smudge his mascara as he tearfully said "T.K.O. is lame! I don't like him."

Enid replied, "Yeah. Only teens have earned the right to angst and brood,"

Atalanta added, "Except for my sister, Dixie, and she's still 11. I used to be like that until I… you know, changed."

"Well, your sister does look good as angst and brood," Enid complimented before addressing, "We got to snap him out of this funk."

Eventually, T.K.O. moved to a spot behind the boxes for his own private time, brooding away to the music he was listening to. That being said, with his eyes shut, this left him unaware of Enid, Rad, and Atalanta slowly coming up to him. All with encouraging, cheerful smiles.

Immediately, they quickly got onto him with smiles, complete with Rad carrying T.K.O. in a hug and a pat on his head.

"HEY, LITTLE BUDDY!" the three of them said.

"You want to play some videos games?" asked Rad.

"Or blow stuff up?" encouraged Enid mischievously.

"Or play some music? Sing with me?!" Atalanta exclaimed excitingly, holding a microphone in front of T.K.O..

"Or we could just talk," Rad added.

"Yeah! Your pals Rad, Enid, and Atalanta are always here for you! I even got you delicious lightning nachos!" Enid offered T.K.O. a little tray of lightning nachos, one of his favorite snacks,

At first, T.K.O. struggled with getting out of Rad's grip, wanting his own business. That was until Enid started poking a box of lightning nachos into his cheek with the next words being the last he wanted to hear. "Aww, come on! Eat up, cute stuff!"

That really set T.K.O. off. "I'm NOT CUTE!"

In a fit of anger, T.K.O. unleashed a wave of purple energy, sending Enid, Rad, and Atalanta flying against the boxes and crashing into the counter. The three of them yelped, but they remained shocked about this new mood from their friend.

"I challenge you to a power battle!" demanded T.K.O.

"What?!" shouted Rad.

"No way! That's horrible!" Atalanta cried.

"K.O! You can't!" pleaded Enid.

"I told you, it's T.K.O!" snarled T.K.O. "And I'm a whole different animal now."

Enid, Rad, and Atalanta could only stare at their changed friend in disbelief. First, T.K.O was acting grumpy, but now he was just raising the bar high like this. They were really seeing a whole different person. They could only watch him as he hissed like an animal. LITERALLY hissed. With a loud cry, he charged forwards with a fist clenched up.

Enid and Atalanta quickly moved aside, but Rad wasn't able to process the incoming attack. He could only run off before T.K.O punched, damaging the counter behind him.

Purple lightning sparked from T.K.O's fist. A good chunk of it even spread to his spiked bracelet. With awe and laughter of excited pleasure, he spun around and punched Rad right under his chin. It sent the alien flying upwards through the ceiling.

Enid and Atalanta were the only ones standing.

"You better not," she warned, narrowing her eyes.

As T.K.O. came in to punch, Enid quickly cartwheeled her way out, and Atalanta had herself off the ground, and dodged those punches. Due to the massive amount of power T.K.O. was gaining, this was enough to destroy the displayed shelves and cans. Once Enid and Atalanta were up against the wall, they looked up to find the hole in the roof. Enid quickly turned herself into a log stump and Atalanta just vanished into thin air, leaving T.K.O. confused when he tried punching them.

On the rooftop, Enid and Atalanta arrived.

"Rad? Rad!" Enid called out to her friend, but he wasn't anywhere in sight, "Must have knocked him into orbit," she said in concern, turning back to the hole in the roof. "Just how strong is this kid?"

"I don't know. Only a Superius could punch that strong," Atalanta answered, even though that was a rhetorical question.

The girls didn't flinch when they saw T.K.O. hovering upwards. However, it surprised them how easy it looked for him to be flying this high. All with purple lightning bolts crackling underneath his hands as if they were flames coming out from the bottom of rockets. He cackled loudly, hoping to wipe the brave and worried faces Enid and Atalanta respectively put on.

"Thought you could get away, huh?" he taunted.

"What is going on with you?" asked Enid.

T.K.O. grunted, landing near her. "I'm just finally…me."

Without waiting for her response, he threw a fist, and Enid and Atalanta quickly dodged. Enid ran off, hopping over every rooftop in the bodega while Atalanta flew away with her. T.K.O. wasn't far behind them, throwing purple power punches and lightning bolts at her. In the process, this cracked and created holes in the buildings. However, as T.K.O. continued to wreck the place, this only frustrated him with every miss and the sight of Enid and Atalanta running and flying away.

He wanted a battle. He wanted a challenge.

"Come here, ladies!" he yelled. "Let me show you my darkness!"

Enid and Atalanta could only look back as they dodged all of his attacks. Both of them were already afraid of what got into their little friend. Not only he was far more powerful than before, but he was acting out of control. Something wasn't right with him. They needed to do something.

"This isn't you, K.O.!" Enid said desperately.

"You're better than this!" Atalanta shouted back, summoning a shield projectile while flying backward, blocking the purple lightning bolt in front of her face.

"Go ahead!" snarled T.K.O. with an annoyed sneer. "Keep talking down to me! It only makes me stronger!"

Meanwhile, Rad just descended from orbit, crashing right into the parking lot. He was thrown upwards so hard that it made the landing worse for him. Ending up in a crater, Rad was really badly hurt. And at the thought of T.K.O., he was hurt emotionally, only letting out small pathetic whimpers when unable to get back up.

"My skeleton…" he whined.

"Somebody say skeleton?" said Real Magic Skeleton as he and Brandon walked across.

However, Brandon noticed how hurt Rad was. "Rad!"

"Why are you in a crater?"

Rad could only whimper, nearly close to crying.

"I can't understand you!" said Real Magic Skeleton in frustration. "You're gonna have to move your jaw!"

However, Brandon shifted his attention to see what was really happening now. "Dude! Get your phone!"

Rad grunted, slowly trying to get up. "That kid…is gonna get…" Knowing that he couldn't physically stand up, he surrounded himself in his own levitation beam. "…wrecked."

Back on the rooftops, Enid and Atalanta found themselves seeing T.K.O. becoming more and more hungry and livid to the point of running on all fours. They couldn't keep running forever since both girls were already sweating buckets and they ran out of space to run from. Once they stopped at the edge of one of the rooftops, T.K.O. grinned, snarling through his words.

"End of the line, ladies," he said.

And it wasn't just a brag. From this angle, Enid and Atalanta could see the whole plaza nearly in ruins, people running around at the sight of debris. Some of the buildings were on fire or smoking due to the damage T.K.O left. The one place that appeared to be intact was the Fitness Dojo. Granted, its roof was broken, but the girls didn't see anyone panicking around there.

Wait, the Fitness Dojo!

Too bad that they nearly forgot about T.K.O.

For a different reason.

"Stop…ignoring…ME!" he screamed, pouncing forwards.

However, Atalanta grabbed ahold of Enid, and was able to get out of the way with her. Just in time for the weakened Rad to engulfed T.K.O. in his levitation beam.

"Rad!" exclaimed the two girls, noting how badly injured their friend was.

The alien could only sniff yet not move a muscle to flee. "I…I got this!"

Atalanta, releasing her arm from Enid, put up a brave face, and stepped forward, deciding to stay and help Rad as she turned back to Enid, "You go! We'll cover for you!"

Enid nodded, trusting Rad and Atalanta on this one. Hopefully, they won't get hurt. She hopped off the roof and made a beeline to the Fitness Dojo.

"Alright, little dude," said Rad firmly. "Just stay back. I don't want to hurt you."

T.K.O.'s response was to punch through the beam, much to Rad's surprise. With part of the beam broken, he used it to swing Rad around before throwing him upwards. Once again, he crash-landed on the ground, whimpering in pain.

"A-Alright…that's fine," he said, unable to even move. "I'm just gonna…take a break."

Atalanta was able to see at the edge of the building to see Rad badly injured, "Ooooooh, Rad, are you okay?"

Rad could only whimper in pain.

T.K.O. hovered upwards behind Atalanta. Surrounding his fists were purple energy beams. The power he had was slowly becoming stronger.

Atalanta turned around to face T.K.O. in fear, and stepped backwards a little, "Come on, little buddy, You know this is wrong! You don't wanna do this! And I don't want to fight you!"

But T.K.O. laughed in glee as he observed the plaza below. It was already dirty, its buildings having noticeable holes in them. This meant a lot to him. Meaning he was unstoppable. He loved it. And since Atalanta was all on her own now, T.K.O. got a chance to show her more that he didn't need patience to be powerful.

Atalanta, hesitating to fight T.K.O., covered her face with her arms, ready for the blow.

But then…

"K.O.!" shouted Enid from below. "This ends now!"

"Oh yeah?" teased T.K.O. smugly. "What? You planning on revealing a secret power move?"

Enid smirked, crossing her arms. "Nah. I just told your mom."

T.K.O.'s smirk turned into a frown when he spotted Carol nearby.

"K.O.!" called Carol, deeply worried. "How could you? You know I'm always willing to support your choices, but this phase has gone too far!"

This only ticked T.K.O. off DEEPLY.

"IT'S NOT A PHASE, MOM!" he screeched, blowing a strong shockwave that caused Atalanta to fall and roll down the roof of the bodega, and landed on the ground in front of Carol and Enid. T.K.O. landed on the A symbol of the bodega. "THIS IS WHO! I! AM!"

At every emphasis of the word, he punched all the other letters of the words away before igniting himself in a bluish-purple aura. The fact with his mother was around didn't help with containing his power to a minimum. It seemed to simmer once he saw the stunned Mr. Gar running in.

"My store!" he cried, clutching his head.

T.K.O. laughed darkly, resting on the letter symbol. "Good hustle, Gar. Now it's YOUR turn to clean up the mess!"

With a swing of his arm, he sent a beam right toward the plaza sign. Just to cut off the sign promoting Gar's bodega out of spite. It crashed into several pieces once it hit the floor.

"Alright, Gar," said Carol. "It's time to unlock your iron-clad heart and tell him your true feelings!"

This only made him confused, breaking out in another nervous sweat. "Huh?"

"Gene! He needs to hear it from you! You're the one he looks up to!"

Looking up, he really need to say something. T.K.O. was already throwing beams everywhere, destroying whatever he caught in his sight. Before long, he might turn the plaza into a flat land.

But Mr. Gar was struggling to open up his heart. "K-K.O., I…"

"Hurry!" cried Carol. "Before he destroys the entire plaza!"

Mr. Gar struggled with all the superhuman strength to spit it out. And then, he opened up his heart and lifted two arms in the air to scream.

"K.O.!" he shouted. "I LOVE YOUR MOM!"

Everybody gasped at the sudden, new reveal. But Atalanta wasn't surprised about it.

"Eh, I knew it all along," She deadpanned.

Even T.K.O was flabbergasted, deactivating his powers. "What?"

"Not that, you wet noodle!" exasperated Carol, slapping Mr. Gar over his big shoulder. "Tell him what all his work means to you."

"Uh, huh? Oh! Oh!" stuttered the sheepish Mr. Gar, trying to form words. It didn't help that he was sweating profusely and he couldn't spit out words properly. Right after confessing his love to Carol. "Uh, y-you're a valuable help at the bodega, K.O.! Uh, excellent work! You're a very nice…helpful…boy."

Just like before, this only frustrated T.K.O. enough, feeling that these words only fell flat. He growled, trembling in anger. He even clutched his head, feeling all the power coming back to be unleashed.

"ENOUGH! Your approval's useless to me now!" he yelled, an angry purple flame surrounding him. He leapt upwards, spinning before lifting his fists above his head for the smash. "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!"

He landed right in the middle of the parking lot, missing everyone. However, it didn't seem to be his intention. He repeatedly pounded the ground, letting out all of his rage. With every pound, the beam dome surrounding him grew bigger. Everybody tried to step away, but it was already too late. T.K.O. already made the dome large enough to swallow everybody up in it.

In fact, the second they touched it, they felt drained. As if they were losing power and energy. A kick in the face to knock their lights off. Mr. Gar and Carol were the first ones to get drained. Enid tried to run away, but she was drained as well. Atalanta tried to fly away, but she was caught as well, falling back into the ground. Rad was still in the crater, feeling drained, Magic Skeleton and Brandon tried to run away as well, but they weren't so lucky.

With everybody weakened, the unhinged T.K.O. laughed maniacally. He spotted Carol struggling to lift her head up. But she could only see the opposite of her son.

"Any last wor-"

Not like he was gonna give any as he threw a punch to Carol, but his fist suddenly froze before it could hit. His flaming aura even disappeared. T.K.O.'s eyes widened, wondering what was happening to him.

And then the first was lifted higher and slammed right into his face.


K.O. gasped as he awakened. He noticed Enid, Rad, Atalanta, Carol, and Mr. Gar surrounding him, calling his name. They were ruffled, but they appeared to be fine. At the moment, they were more worried about K.O. He slowly looked to the side, the bodega just nearby. It barely looked like it was in good shape due to the numerous holes and small candle-like flames coming from the gaps.

"Are you okay?" asked Carol, bending down to her son.

And then, K.O. remembered everything that happened before he was locked in his mind. Meeting this Shadowy Figure. The practice of using his anger for his power and how that turned out. The outburst he had upon feeling that he wasn't gonna be a great hero. And all that anger of being not good enough led to…this destruction.

"Oh, no. Mommy, I-" K.O. broke into a sob, burying his face into Carol's lap. "I'm sorry! I-I don't know what happened! There was this kid. He looked just like me and I…I…"

Carol sighed, patting K.O. gently on the head. "Hey, it's okay. Shh. Shh. It's okay. I'm just glad you're back to normal. Well, sorta."

Noting that K.O. was back to his normal self, she pulled out his red headband.

"Here."

K.O. sniffed, looking up to see it. He picked it up, placing it around his head. A bright glow shone from it as his long hair was tied back into place and the spiked headbands he wore turned back to the regular red. He watched in wonder, feeling more lighter than before. He didn't feel like the angry and darker T.K.O. he briefly felt when transforming in the first place.

He smiled, feeling back to normal.

Atalanta patted a hand behind his back, "Now there's the little K.O. I know!"

"K.O., I got to ask," said Rad. "Where did you get those powers?"

"Yeah," said Enid.

"It was crazy! Not even my family had that power," pointed Atalanta.

"It certainly wasn't something I taught you," said Carol.

"No," said K.O., taking out the POW Card he got from Shadowy Figure. "I learned it from this guy."

Carol took it, looking at the figure on the card. He didn't really look that much like a hero unless he was just reclusive. She looked down at his power level, surprised that it was at 8. However, the number glitched and turned into a different color. It changed to…'-8'?

This guy was a villain?!

"What the heck?!" said Carol. "K.O.! Don't follow a stranger no matter who they say they are."

"That seems obvious now," said K.O., looking down.

Unknown to everyone, Shadowy Figure was actually watching them from the top of one of the buildings. A smirk crossed his face, impressed with the damage T.K.O. did. That would mean K.O. was indeed powerful…and even have a quick trigger to his turbo side.

"Oh," he said. "Soon."

He let out a low chuckle. It was slowly devolving into a mechanical reverb, his voice echoing. It was a moment of pride and discovery, looking forward to seeing T.K.O. really soon…

However, just because he was standing on top of a building didn't mean he was invisible.

"Hey, Magi…" said Brandon worriedly, noticing him. "There's some ghoulishly guy on our roof saying, 'Soon, soon.'"

"Quiet, dude," said Real Magic Skeleton, too busy recording K.O. and the others. "I'm trying to capture the denouement here."

"But-but…" Brandon looked behind, but there was no one there anymore. "…eh, never mind."

Without another worry, he took out a bag of chips, munching on them.

THE END


Once again, so sorry for taking a while. This chapter is my version of the episode, T.K.O., one with my OC, Atalanta, inserted in it.

Special thanks to MasterClass60 and TU4QU0I53T4IAN6L3 for helping me with this chapter. I couldn't make or finished this chapter without them. Hope there will be new chapters soon. See ya!
