Dendy makes an apology to T.K.O. (art by ask-tkaio on Tumblr.)

-------------------------------------------------

Testing on K.O. in a forest was a bad idea. But Dendy was gonna go with it anyway. She wanted to test on T.K.O. Or, well, observe would be a better word for it. Dendy wanted to analyze his animalistic behavior, which she had noted in his profile. The first thing she did was the same thing she did last time when first attempting to unleash T.K.O., but this time the process was much quicker.

Purple sparks arced and snapped around K.O. body. Growls left his lips as the headband was burned away, hair grew out into a long wild mane. Red wristbands turned purple, spikes forming upon them with an audible SHING! A few blinks and the blank purple glow of his eyes focused and shrank in irises, that soon focus upon the Kappa the sat a few feet away, observing him with those big ol' goggles of hers.. His eyes immediately narrowed into a fierce glare, his face clearly showed his irritation and anger.

"YOU..." He almost snarled out. He hadn't forgotten what happened on that day in her lab; the tests, everything she put K.O. through just to get to him. He had a grudge against her and it was a fierce one.

Dendy watched as this happened with a blank face. Last time she did something like this, it had failed, but now she was prepared. She held a remote in her hand, which would trigger a forcefield if the button was pressed, in case T.K.O. would try to attack her. The shield didn't work when she attempted to contain T.K.O., but this one was hopefully more durable. This time, it was to shield herself.

"Hello, T.K.O." She greets him with a wave, in a very nonchalant tone.

T.K.O. jumped to his feet, the corner of his lips twitching, occasionally showing the rows of sharpened and pointed teeth he had, "What do you want, Science baby?! To test on me AGAIN?!" He growled, his fists sparking dangerously, the mane that was hair was beginning to bristle, "I'm NOT your lab rat!"

"I'm not here to test you, Turbo Boy," For some reason, she thought it was only fair to give T.K.O. a nickname since he gave her one. "Just to observe." That may or may not sound weirder than actually testing him. Dendy did not care, however.

His face darkens at the nickname, he didn't believe a word that came out of her mouth, she had to be lying, trying to trick him. His anger boiled over, his fists lit up with a fiery aura, sparks flew everywhere.

"LIAR!! GRAAAGHHHHHHHH!!" He lunges towards Dendy, ready to sock her good. But right before he could, a button is pressed on her remote and then SLAM! He hits face first into the shield, he didn't even see it. "HUH!?!" He slowly slid down, falling off onto the ground. He soon sits up, groaning as he rubbed his face, before standing up again. "THE HECK?!"

He snarls, his mane bristles even further, "YOU THINK THIS WILL STOP ME?!?" He remembers the last time she made something similar to it and he tore through it like it was a wet paper bag. This should be no different! He raised his fist and punched at the shield, harshly.

There was barely even a scratch on the shield.

"What?!" He snarls louder, drawing back another fist and punching at the shield once more and again and again. This goes on for quite a while actually, his endurance was quite something to behold. But eventually... his punches were starting to slow until... he finally stopped.

Panting, he tries to throw one last punch but the arm falls back to his side. With a frustrated groan, he sat down, glaring fiercely at the Kappa. After a moment, he gets back up again on all fours and begins to prowl around the perimeter of the shield like a predator stalking its prey, and Dendy immediately starts typing her observations.

          

His eyes never left her. If she were to look close enough, she might see an inkling of a predatory glint within those angry purple eyes. What was more impressive was how smoothly he moved on all fours, it wasn't awkward or ganky.

He moved like a real animal.

Eventually, he did speak after a while. "... You'll have to come out of there eventually ..." The kappa gives no response. The only sound from her was the typing on her screen.

With a low growl, he continues to pace around the shield. Curiosity was itching at him to see what exactly she was typing. He knew it was about him, but what exactly? He huffs loudly, snarls to himself in irritation.

Anger still nagged at him. It was frustrating. He wanted to hit something. Literally, anything would do. The worst part, he wanted to let out his anger on Dendy but he couldn't because of that stupid shield. What else is there? He looked to the environment.

........Better than nothing.

The trees around them didn't stand a chance, an energy wave was enough to cut through the thick bark of trunks and send them crashing to earth. Dendy jolted in shock as she watched the environment become destroyed around her. It almost reminded her of the damage T.K.O. had done in her lab. There was a hint of remorse on the kappa's face at the thought of the incident in the lab.

She stops typing for a moment before she starts to type again. The kappa begins to think of how she treated K.O. to unleash T.K.O. It's something she still thinks about a lot, even if she made amends with K.O., no matter how much she wanted the thoughts and feeling of regret to go away.

Eventually, T.K.O. stopped, a good portion of the area around them was nothing but fallen trees and torn earth, craters, and smoldering spots. He felt better, just a little bit but still irritated.

As Dendy looked at T.K.O., she couldn't help but want to talk to him. She wanted to change the relationship she had with him, to stop the pain and somewhat one-sided hatred between them. She constantly wished she could undo the things she had done, or at least make amends with T.K.O.

Perhaps I could, She thinks to herself.

Her typing slowed until she stopped again. But this time, she gives the boy a glance as he sits down to rest before sighing and finally closing her holo-screen. Dendy had to talk to him. She needed to settle this. If she doesn't, the pain will only continue.

"T.K.O.," She starts to say. "I need to talk to you."

His head turns to the kappa upon hearing her voice, the glare of disdain remaining on his face. "What do you want, huh?"

Dendy takes a small breath, looking for the right words to say. "...I want to apologize to you. For experimenting on you for my personal gain. That was very cruel of me."

The kappa could only hope she'd be given a chance. K.O. is her friend, and in her opinion, that means she should treat T.K.O. like so. She knew K.O. forgave her for the things she'd done, but T.K.O. still hated her for it. That meant there's still a part of K.O. that still held a grudge on her. The thought terrified her. Maybe that's why she was afraid of T.K.O., not solely because of his powerful strengths and brutality.

Still, she wanted to do this. Not just for K.O., but for T.K.O., and herself.

T.K.O.'s face softens ever so slightly before he looks away, silent before he quietly stood up.

He was still for a moment until suddenly turned and throwing a power fist in her direction, watching the attack bounce off the shield. He wanted to get that out of his system before speaking up. "... I... I don't even know if I SHOULD forgive you! How do I know you won't do it again, HUH?!? Why should I trust you!?"
