The K.O. Kid was a boxer in 1931. He was a middleweight. He was pretty badass and had won all of his fights. K.O. Kid lived in
Kid Quick was all sick and had something growing in his guts called a tumor and it was going to kill him if he didn’t get surgery on it. His mom and K.O. Kid were really sad and had strong feelings. K.O. Kid said to his mom, “I don’t care about anything. I just want Quick to get better with surgery and be happy and then you’ll be really happy.”
K.O. Kid was going to have a famous match with Vic Paradise. The Kid knew he was going to win because he was the better of the two men. His punches were way harder and he could move way faster than Vic Paradise.
K.O. Kid went to a bar dressed up in a costume with a hat, a long trenchcoat and a fake moustache and sweet sideburns and bet all his money on himself. If K.O. Kid won his match then he would have enough money for Kid Quick’s surgery and a little left over for a new brush for his mom.
K.O. Kid was in the locker room right before his fight with Vic Paradise. His trainer was named Doc and he was slapping K.O. Kid’s back and rubbing his muscles so he could be even faster. Then four really mean gangsters came in.
One said, “My name is Steel Jorge and you need to lose this fight in the third round. You need to pretend that you get knocked out. I made other guys pretend to get knocked out when you did matches with them and now it’s your turn, Kid.”
K.O. Kid was pissed off. He thought he won all his matches fair AND square.
No way was he going to lose and then not get his winnings and have his little brother die from bad guts! No way!
But K.O. Kid was clever and said, “yeah whatever. I’ll do the loss.”
In the ring K.O. Kid beat up Clint Paradise real bad. It was tense when the third round came and K.O. Kid could see Steel Jorge in the audience with his men.
Man, it was so tense. Mac was praying to God.
K.O. Kid did one of his famous uppercuts and really hurt
Clint Paradise fell out of the ring and onto Steel Jorge’s lap.
K.O. Kid ran out of the building after the referee raised his hand that he was the winner.
The goons chased him, but K.O. Kid hid in an alley.
The goons were yelling “we know you’re in there K.O. Kid, there’s no way out except through us and our guns!”
K.O. Kid was about to give up, he was almost crying a little bit because he thought of his little brother, Kid Quick, and he knew Quick was going to die soon. Maybe right after he died from being shot to DEATH by goons.
Just then there was a big shadow over the whole alley. You couldn’t even see the moon. The goons looked up and there was a giant pterodactyl over them, about to eat the hell out of them. It was Tear and on his back was Skye Zanzibar and Ook of Field. Ook had his M-60 on a tripod and he started firing hot lead. The bullets turned the goons into liquid. Blood was everywhere.
“Come on, were here to help, we were following the goons when we saw their guns,” Skye yelled down.
K.O. Kid hopped on the back of Tear and looked at Skye Zanzibar in his eyes and he knew Skye Zanzibar was a good man. Skye knew the same thing about the K.O. Kid.
They flew.
But things were not so easy. Goons were everywhere and they shot Tear from a rooftop.
Tear landed and woowoowoowoowoowoowoo! He jumped back into Skye Zanzibar’s watch to heal.
Skye Zanzibar, K.O. Kid, and Ook of Field had to run through the worst neighborhood in
Ook mowed some down with his M-60.
One goon tried to stab K.O. Kid, but ended up dead from an ultimate uppercut.
Skye Zanzibar was using his liquid cosmic energy blaster on his wrist to shoot goons.
Skye was really careful not to hurt innocents but Ook of Field was just shooting so many bullets. There were bullet shells all over the sidewalk and for years kids would find them and use them as whistles and say, “It’s the call of the caveman, sucka!”
Steel Jorge was at the end of the alley and K.O. Kid yelled, "I can win any fight I don't need your help having people pretend to be knocked out. I can knock people out for real and here it goes."
They K.O. Kid did the hardest uppercut he ever did before and Steel Jorge's jawbone flew out of his mouth and he was unconscious.
They finally made it to the bar after tons of action.
“Give me my money, mister.”
“I don’t know you.”
K.O. Kid put on his fake moustache, “Do you see me now, mister.”
“Yes sir.”
K.O. Kid got his money and they ran like how fast lightening is and went to the hospital where Kid Quick and momma was.
K.O. Kid slapped down the money and said, “Now fix my little brother because I love him like a brother.”
Momma cried.
Kid Quick said, “K.O. doesn’t stand for knockout. It stands for ‘Kindness’ and ‘Olives’ because you are kind and I always thought you smelled like olives.”
Skye Zanzibar said, “No Kid Quick, that’s not olives. That’s called B.O., body odor.”
Everyone totally laughed.
