Rad and K.O.: Mr. Gar, Mr. Gar!

Mr. Gar: Huh?

Rad: There's this new game at the arcade called "The Face of Fear". It makes you face your biggest fears, and adjusts your fear resistance stat depending on how well you do! Look how fearless we've become. [shows Mr. Gar his and K.O.'s Pow Cards]

Mr. Gar: 10? 15? [growls] You kids and your videos game, pah! I never needed some cockamamie machine to help me face my own fears.

K.O.: What's your fear resistance, Mr. Gar? I bet it's pretty high.

Mr. Gar: I haven't checked in a while, it's probably through the roof by now... [pulls out his Pow Card and checks his stats] It's... 8?!

Rad, K.O., and Enid: 8?!

Mr. Gar: This is absurd! I- I guess I haven't updated it in a while... Not since I left P.O.I.- [laughs nervously] What I mean to say was, there'd be no point in me checking, since I'm impervious to fear. Heh, heh.

Enid: Then I guess you wouldn't be afraid of playing the game and updating your info?

Mr. Gar: Heh...

[The title card appears]

Mr. Gar: I'm only doing this to set an example for my employees, you know. I haven't got anything to prove. This best be worth my time-

Carol: [humming] Hey, kids! Hey there, Gar.

K.O.: Hi, mom!

Carol: I'll be back around later to pick you up, okay hon?

K.O.: Okay, mom.

Mr. Gar: [stammering] Sss.... Bye, Carol! Huh? [Carol is gone]

K.O.: Alrighty Mr. Gar, are you ready?

Rad: There it is!

Enid: The Face... of Fear! Just step right up and insert your Pow Card.

Arcade Game: Select Difficulty! [Mr. Gar turns difficulty meter] Extra hard!

Enid: Uh, I don't know if that's a good idea-

Arcade Game: [Mr. Gar turns meter past the possible level] Super extra hard!

Mr. Gar: Kids and their videos and game. Huh.

Rad: He's in!

Mr. Gar: [game screen reads "Terror] No! [sweating and hiding from something]

K.O.: Is Mr. Gar okay?

Rad: Should we help him?

Enid: Yeah, but we can't just unplug him, it says right here that he'll go into a coma. [[[Dendy|Dendy]] appears from the panel Enid was pointing at] Oh my Gar!

Dendy: I may be of assistance here.

K.O.: Dendy!

Dendy: Greeting, friends. I can hook up an extra VR helmet to Mr. Gar so someone can enter his fear space and help him.

Rad: I'll take care of this. Hook that baby up to me.

K.O.: You can do it, Rad!

Dendy: Preparations are complete. And... enter.

Rad: [Makes funny noises]

K.O.: Rad! Enid: Classic Rad. Dendy, hook me up to Gar, as well, so I can help them out.

Dendy: I... Cannot do that. Mr. Gar's helmet has only one input port, and Rad is already plugged into it. You're gonna have to face Rad's fear first before helping him with Gar's fear. [puts a helmet on Enid]

Enid: Uh, fine. [gets plugged into the game] Uh... [holds up a sign saying "STUCK PLS DON'T UNPLUG TYSM"]

K.O.: [stammers and points to Enid]

Dendy: [sighs] I understand. Sit down next to Enid. O.K, K.O., this is important. Since I'm plugging you into Enid, you have to overcome her fear before you can assist her in overcoming Rad's fear. The three of you can then help face Mr. Gar's fear together. Are you ready to face all their fears, K.O?

K.O.: Sss... Yes?

Dendy: Good luck. [plugs K.O. into the game]

K.O.: [gasps] Huh? Mamma mia. [looks around at pictures of young Enid] Are these all... Enid? She's scared of herself? Heh, I guess even cool people like Enid can have dorky phases.

Enids: Did you just call us dorky?!

K.O.: Ah! Hole hamburgers.

Enids: Don't make fun of us, you big toot!

K.O.: [thinking] Wow, they sure are mad. Who knbew Enis was so se- [gasps] You are a big toot! If these are Enid's fears, then maybe these are things that she doesn't like about herself. [outloud] I'm sorry for calling y'all dorky. Left Enid, it looks like you're trying to be a great ninja.

Ninja Enid: Huh?

K.O.: I admire your determination and really like that part of you. Right Enid, I think you're always trying to play it cool. and I think you're doing a great job. I mean, it always works on me!

Cool Enid: Well, shucks.

K.O.: Center Enid, I think you're dark and brooding.

Dark Enid: [hisses]

K.O.: Oh, no no, that's a.- that's a good thing! I- It gives you an air of mystery. It's- intriguing.

Dark Enid: Aww. Hey, this guy's pretty cool.

Ninja Enid and Cool Enid: Yeah.

Enids: Have a punchtastic day!

K.O.: I should compliment Enid more often. Huh? [A star appears, opening a golden doorway] It's the way out!

Enids: Yeah!

Rad faces: Hahaha. Doesn't even hurt. Try again!

Enid: Nothing's working. What is this weirdo even afraid of?

K.O.: [appears out of Enid's ear] Here I am! Whoa. What the heck?

Enid: K.O! Thank goodness you're here. I guess Rad's claustrophobic or something, and I'm trying to find my way through, but nothing's working and this is driving me insane!

Rad faces: [continued laughter]

K.O.: Claustrophobia doesn't sound right... Quick! What do we know about Rad?

Enid: Well, he puts on this massive macho man act, but deep inside, he's a big softie.

K.O.: So Rad's ultimate fear must be admitting his vulnerability, like sadness.

Rad faces: Huh?

K.O.: Now! Let's get emotional... [thinks of dropping a hotdog and starts crying]

Pird: [In Enid's thoughts] Hello, hi, here I am. A customer.

Enid: [starts bawling]

Rad faces: No! Stop crying! I... [starts crying] [their crying creates a flood that lifts Enid and K.O. to the exit door]

K.O.: Yes!

Rad: [crying] [Enid and K.O. appear from his tears]

K.O.: Toot toot! [gasps]

Laserblast face: It was all your fault, Gar!

Enid: Holy smokes. This is Mr. Gar's fear?

K.O.: Wait. [pulls out a Pow Card] I know him! That's Laserblast! He was a powerful hero from before I was born.

Enid: Well, how do we stop him?

K.O.: Uh, well, since he's a strong hero, we need... A powerful villain!

Enid: That's a great idea and all, but where will we find one on such short notice?

K.O.: [grunts] Uh, this is gonna be scary, but... [exhales a dark blob]

Rad and Enid: Huh?

Enid: K.O., what is that?

K.O.: Well, last time I played, this came out of me, and it was really powerful. [dark blob takes the form of T.K.O.]

Enid: Is this your greatest fear?

K.O.: Uh... I don't know. I guess so.

[Laserblast's head shoots lasers at T.K.O., which shifts around them]

Rad: Woah, that's pretty dark, homie.

[The dark blob charges at Laserbalst's head, which explodes. T.K.O. comes back towards K.O.]

Enid and Rad: Your evil burp!

K.O.: No...

T.K.O.: [touches K.O.'s nose, which opens K.O.'s head. T.K.O. gets into his brain]

K.O.: See you in my nightmares! Oh, Mr. Gar, you can get up now. I faced your fear for you.

Mr. Gar: No... Laserblast isn't my ultimate fear. [points at figure in the distance] No! No, no no no, no! No! [starts sobbing]

K.O.: Young mommy?

Young Carol: Look me in the eye, you big baby. How could you let this happen? And why did you bring that sandwich? [sandwich fills start shooting at Rad, Enid, and Mr. Gar]

K.O.: [slices the lettus heading for Mr. Gar in half] [jumps on sanwich fills to get to Young Carol]

Enid and Rad: K.O?!

K.O.: [Hugs young Carol]

Young Carol: [glances between K.O. and Mr. Gar, smiles, and turns into the star allowing them to exit the game]

K.O.: Shall we go home, guys?

Mr. Gar: Hmm.

Enid: Yeah.

Rad: Whoo! Oh yeah! We did it! Blorp!

Dendy: Welcome back to real life.

K.O.: That was amazing! But what was Laserblast doing there? And why was my mom so angry?

Mr. Gar: K.O... Laserblast, your mom, and I were all members of a superhero team named P.O.I.N.T.. Carol and I were best friends until...

[sad saxophone music plays, and raining, thunder, and footprints can be heard in the flashback]

K.O.: That's the exact same confusing vague flashback my mom had! Anyway... You shouldn't be scared of my mom. She's a pretty great lady, and she likes you.

Mr. Gar: [sighs] Yeah.

Carol: K.O., you ready to go?

K.O.: Hi, mom!

Carol: Hey, y'all! Hey, little guy.

Mr. Gar: [whimpering] Hi, Carol! [growls] H- how are you?

Carol: I'm fine, thank you. See y'all around!

Enid and Rad: Bye, Carol. Bye, K.O.

Mr. Gar: Woah.

Enid: You know, Mr. Gar, you finally said a whole sentence to Carol.

Mr. Gar: I did, didn't I?

Rad: Guess you did face your fear, after all.

Mr. Gar: [clears throat] Yeah, uh... Yeah, well, uh... Get back to work! Hm! "How are you? How are you, Carol?" [chuckles] Not bad, not-
