#kimera's ultimate mental battle

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

you're moping cause you care ya big spiky softie. and we love that about you. now let's gettem

Don't push it... [He lightly chuckles.]

[They both witnesses OVK force the group of violent anons to cease their beatdown once and for all with a burst of energy that pushes them back.]

E̷N̷O̷U̷G̷H̷!̷!̷!̷

[The boys watch from a fair distance. Hopefully they know what to do.]

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

you can't change what's happened. but you can change what happens next.

[His defeated demeanor changes to one of hope. TKO sits straight up, with a confident stance.]

What am I doing, still moping about this?

Damn straight! We're in charge of what happens next, not these two!

That's the spirit, TKO! Now let's take out that pink, many limbed freak! With words!

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

yeah and that's the ticket Turbo. you killed and this is how you react. THIS is you. and You care. you care that needs are met. you care about hurt, whether its you or others getting hurt. you care about change and things getting BETTER. you care about doing better. and by cob you most certainly can. there's always up from rock bottom.

That doesn't mean it changes the fact that I did it again. On a bigger scale. [He huffs, a hint of some tears welling up.]

[TKO grunts softly.]

Spec did want me to promise one time to never become immortal. Which I did! I refuse to suffer through that kinda pain! If I'm gonna be dying, it's going to be of old age and natural causes!

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

yeah your dad's a real scumbag. ...was. you gave him a chance and he failed so horrendously it might have set a bad dad record in this area. like. wow. holy hell that was bad.

Good thing I got rid of that Shadowy scumbag before he did anything else. Even though I... [He swallows.] Killed again...

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

once in a while? lol you and us wish. we blink though entire weeks all the time.

Well, damn, then.

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

yes really, do you have any idea how annoying it is to be lagging behind constantly either by moments, minutes or even hours or days or cob knows how long like you're in a videos game on a crappy computer?

So you don't sync up with the current time very good once in a while. Fun. [Yes, that "fun" comment was meant to be intentionally sarcastic.]

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

we often get annoyed as you do.

Really.

Some real intrusive thought defeating tactics would probably help...

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

lol there's always that one that has to get their last potshot in.

Fine... finish whatever it is you're doing...

Thank you. 😑

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

sorrey seems there are some violent anons amongst us and we don't get many chances to do high concentrated amounts of violence. also might have some who are only just starting to get the memo. just give us a sec to deal with lag.

But—

S'fine. But finish yer beatdown fast because somebody still wants to kill us.

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

you're gonna find out

[OVK blinks.]

Guys stop! He's right about that—ugh, for once. You're still doing the same thing by throwing destructive stuff at him that he still heals from! Don't you remember what you talked to us about earlier on how to really, truly beat him?

[ask-kimerako-therapycarpool]

you forget that physical attacks are far from the only things we can do.

[OVK intercepts these attacks with near succession.]

[KO yells up at him,] Hey! OVK!! [The former glances down at him.]

But the tile floors are intact. Much like what you'd see from TKO's debut episode.] —̷t̵h̸i̵s̷.̵

[The mind Kimera clones see the attacks coming and dodge them. Well... most of them.]

[They have unimpressed looks on their faces and proceed to yeet them.]

[This time, KO and TKO actually anticipate the attacks. They and the clones land blow after blow. OVK, from a few feet away, taunts them, his voice echoing from each clone when he speaks and they speak.]
