I Can't Stop... - An OK K.O. story

Total Knockout

Days passed by where I only got worse and worse... I could no longer sleep at all. The entire house was a mess. I'd been taking out my anger and despair on everything I could. It didn't help that I didn't know where all of this was coming from...

K.O. apparently returned to the mindspace for a minute again, but this time, I was done playing games with him... He didn't even know what I was about to do...

He stood there in the kitchen for a second before I came up running from behind him and grabbed him by the back of his shirt, slamming him to the ground. I knew I looked horrible, i remember from looking in the mirror this morning. I hadn't slept in days, my hair was completely frazzled and I knew I looked straight up insane in this moment. K.O. didn't even say a word, he was obviously surprised, but also furious. He tried to wiggle out of my grip.

"I know there's something wrong with you... What happened to the real K.O. I knew!?"

K.O. blankly stared at me for a second, before the tables were turned and he grabbed me, standing up and pinning me to the nearest wall. He'd slammed me against that wall, which was pretty painful, but he managed to slam me so hard that the walls now had cracks in them, and it was dented with my own figure. He shoved me further against the wall, now holding me by my neck. I began to panic as he finally spoke...

"You don't wanna know what happens if you dare touch me again, let alone ask that question..."

For a moment, I saw a glimpse of what looked like a void-black, dragon-like, tail swaying behind him. Even his grip seemed sharper than usual. I grasped his wrists, trying to pry him off me, but it was useless. He smirked with an evil satisfaction as he pushed me harder against the wall. Was he trying to choke me!? I tried harder to get him to let me go, beginning to severely panic. I finally managed the strength to pull away, and as I did, I forced him against the wall. I took my final chance, knowing full well I'd never get a redemption after this, and with one blow, I totally knocked K.O. out.

It was at that point I heard Enid's voice coming from the TV. I looked over, and saw pure static on the screen, but I could still hear Enid and Rad.

"K.O.? K.O.!?" Enid sounded really panicked.

"Not again!! Great! What are we gonna tell Mr. Gar!?"

"Who cares about that Rad!? He needs help!"

I have to take control... I know I have to. This is for K.O.... the real K.O., wherever he went...

I woke up in horrible pain, groaning from the strain that was suddenly put on me. I barely opened my eyes to see Enid carrying me.

"K.O.? Oh my cob!! Are you okay!?"

I could hardly speak, but I tried. "E-Enid?" My voice was weak and quiet, unfortunately, that wasn't enough to cover up that it was me now...

"Wh- T.K.O.!?" She almost dropped me-

Scared by the mishap, I tried to wiggle as close as I could, even grabbing her shirt just to hang on. Enid was bringing me somewhere, and Rad had been walking in front of her. He turned as soon as Enid said my name... "T.K.O.??"

I have to tell them! "S-Something's-" I was interrupted by a bout of coughing which lasted a while. I swear it felt like I'd coughed something up... I still pushed onward, knowing both friends were listening intently. "Something's wrong with K.O.!" I finally managed to force the words out, once again coughing due to strain.

Rad gave an unimpressed look. "No duh! He's been acting weird for weeks!"

Enid looked away for a moment in slight shame as she added, "Honestly we thought it might have something to do with you, considering how badly he's been talking about you..."

"He... Wh-What all did he say?" For the first time in my existence, I had a look of innocence about me, worried and concerned.

Rad spoke up, covering anything Enid was about to say. "Maybe we shouldn't talk about that right now-" He turned around and continued walking, motioning for Enid to follow. She rolled her eyes and followed, knowing she would be following without instruction anyway.

Looking ahead, I noticed where we were going, Mom's Dojo.

I did a silly lil thing with the chapter title hehe, if you know then good job on getting the joke. >:3
