Episode 9: Compressor X
The Fold are getting more aggressive, and the Bendigo Kids have to be on guard all the time. But they take it in stride: they've been trained to respond to repression, suppression and oppression, and resist the constant pressure of living in a world that does not fully understand their nature.
The team is stronger than ever – their bond forged through trust, respect and mutual support. They know that they can count on each other and their unique abilities when the pressure is on.
...Snakelops, Folderine, Frog, Worm, Twist, Gumbit, Chewbilly, Gym Fay, and...
Compressor X, a Japanese girl, who can squish her body like a human pancake made of the softest human dough until it became flat as paper, ready to fold like origami and twist like a robot.
Or at least that's what her file says. Meanwhile, most people in the school fail to see the origami robot, where all they can see is a chewing gum with a bubbly butt and the smile as sweet as strawberry milkshake.

Whenever the pressure gets too much or the world around feels too heavy, the team can always rely on Compressor X to make the heaviest burden feel like a puff of air. She's the one who can make even the most unbearable situations feel like fun and games.
And so, the team continues to navigate the challenges of the contortion world, always ready to face whatever comes their way with folds, twists and a healthy dose of squishing.
They know that they can't change the world, but they can make it a little more fun and a lot less serious. They live in a world of imagination and creativity, where the impossible becomes possible with just a little bit of folding.
And as they continue to bend and twist their way through life, they know that they have each other's backs to fold the world into a better place, one pose at a time.
