Hello everyone, and welcome to my recently completed chaptered story. As much as I enjoyed writing this one, I actually had a lot of problems dialouge wise. In the end, I'm happy with teh product despite some minor set-backs. But as per usual, I'm leaving it up to you my audience to determine just how good or bad my recent work is. Before you do though, there are a few things you must take into consideration before reading this story.
1. Grandfather has returned at least twice by the time this story takes place (through some deu sex machina).
2. Alex/Numbuh 273 (my fan character) shares a dark connection with GF, one that was recently discovered in ZERO. Part of this dark connection is that all of Alex's bad traits are GF's bad traits (such as arrogance, and a dictorial style of leadership). Anotehr part of this dark connection is that Alex shares a telepathic connection with GF, which gives her teh ability to sense his presence when close-by.
3. Alex i spart mutant; her main power is telekinisis (which she can also manipulate into energy to form attacks). Her other powers include premonition, sensing people's auras, and projecting forcefields.
Well, othre than that, read, review and enjoy!

Chapter 1: Unfriendly Meeting of Two Acquaintances
Tranquillity; it is the idealistic vision of one individuals concept of peace. A place where one can achieve escapism, and release themselves from the stress of daily life. A place that aspires happiness, and always brings peace to form a sound soul in both body and mind. Such form of peace has now reached out to young Kids next Door Supreme Leader Rachel McKenzie, or Numbuh 362 as she slept in peaceful slumber. Despite this peaceful state, her subconscious lay in her vast dream realm, surrounded by the inanimate objects that made her feel happiest. Among these objects were a magnificent flower field filled with various kinds of flowers, surrounded by lush, green grass. And the sky was as blue as it could be , what with the various soft fluffy clouds that passed through it every now and then. Happy and content, the young blonde continued to lay in in the idealistic flower field, her eyes closed as she felt her mind and body at peace. She had no deadlines, no missions, and certainly no unimportant tasks to attend to, it was her time for peace and relaxation.
"You call this tranquillity", asked a booming yet arrogant sounding voice that startled Rachel out of her peaceful state of mind. Now sitting up, the young girl began to look around for where the voice came from. Sure enough though, she became surprised to find that the voice belonged to none other than the terrible black demon himself; that tall, lanky, black bearded, golden yellow eyed man only referred to as-
"Grandfather", she shouted in a surprised tone as she stared at the cross-armed man, unsure as to why he was even here.
"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance once more...Miss Supreme Leader" he politely replied, all the while looking arrogantly at her as he said the words "Miss Supreme Leader" in a mocking tone.
"You could have picked a better location for our meeting though, but I guess I shouldn't expect much else. After all...you may be more mature than most of the brats in your organization, but your mind is still too naive and feeble to really understand tranquillity", the satanic demon replied in an arrogant tone, one that angered Rachel ever so slightly as she opened her mouth to speak.
"I'll ignore that", she replied in a stern tone. "But I must ask; Why are you here in my dreams? How did you even get into my dreams?"
"Oh, come now. You treat me even worse than my grandson", he replied in a hurt tone which reeked of fake. "Can't I just pop into an old enemy's dream from time to time?"
"Only if you had a purpose", she sternly replied, causing him to chuckle evilly.
"You know me too well", the black bearded demon replied as he began to look down at the ground below his non-existent feet. Picking up a tiny Lily with his old hand, he began to keenly observe the little flower.
"So...you have passions outside of that childish organization" Grandfather keenly observed as he fiddled around with the small flower in his hand, his words catching Rachel's full attention as he did.
"You know, for someone as intelligent as yourself, your hobbies aren't very unique. Although you are still a child, I guess it would only be natural that your interests are as common and feeble as your way of thinking", he mockingly retorted as he began to laugh in amusement, causing the young blonde to fume up with anger.
"Well at least my obsessions are normal", Rachel replied, anger clear in her voice as she did. As she said those words however, Grandfather could not help but cringe at her insult, only for his cringing to turn into erupting anger.
"Why you little...", the satanic demon began as his temper continued to rise. Upon realizing though that he would probably need his strength soon enough, he managed to repress his anger, returning to his sophisticated yet evil and arrogant composure.
"Very well. Now as shocking as this may sound, I didn't come here to merely taunt you", he replied.
"Oh, really? And why did you come here", the young girl sternly asked her enemy.
"I've come to enact my new Grand master Plan of course", he replied.
"New Grand Master Plan", Rachel asked as she cocked her head in confusion.
"Yes...", he replied. "You see my dear, it gets quite boring staying in one place for so long. So I began devising new plans for complete Domination of your planet. But since twice my plans for a large scale invasion have been thwarted, I figured that getting someone else to do my dirty work for me would be much more fun and interesting."
"All I needed now was to find a catalyst", he replied in a very sinister tone, one which caused the young blonde to understand who he was referring to.
"So after an extensive look at my candidates, and the use of one of my many powers, I decided that you my dear shall be my catalyst...", the satanic demon explained in a rather evil tone , setting the Lily aflame in his hand as he did.
With an evil grin now plastered onto his old face, he proceeded to drop the Lily and let it fall to the ground. Upon colliding with the ground, it set the rest of the field aflame, a flame that moved with lightning speed. Although shocked and surprised by this sight, the young blonde quickly jumped out of the flower field and landed onto the grass, a look of pure stern and assertive composure now clear on her face as she did.
"That's never going to happen...Not for as long as I live", she angrily replied.
"You shouldn't say things like that my dear. If I can conform you once, who's to say I can't do it a second time" her opponent replied in a tone of arrogance and delight.
And with those words, the old man flew towards his opponent as if he were lightning. Preparing for her opponent to make his move, the young girl leaped into the air and sent a roundhouse kick towards her opponent's face. Unfortunately for her, Grandfather was quick to dodge. Although surprised by this, she tried the same attack, only to gain the same result.
"His speed...it really is impressive...Just like how Patton and Nigel both described it to me", Rachel quietly thought to herself as she stared in awe and wonderment at her opponent's speed and flexibility.
Unfortunately, her moment of admiration was cut short as the satanic demon quickly flew in to give her a quick punch. Now aware of what his next move would be, Rachel stopped his on-coming punch with her hand, causing the two to engage in a fist-fight. She attempted to attack her opponent with a furry of punches and kicks as she defended from his offensive moves, unfortunately for her though, the black man used his speedy defensive moves to block her offensive moves. Now with a cocky grin on his face, Grandfather proceeded to send his own furry of punches towards his opponent. Unexpectedly though, he became surprised to find how quickly and gracefully the young Supreme Leader managed to dodge his attacks, managing to land on her feet as he crossed his arms in amusement.
"Your grace and technique are impressive...I must admit, you are a worthy opponent. But I wonder how long you can last against me, given how fragile and pathetic you really are", he arrogantly replied.
"" Funny, I thought you said you didn't come here to taunt me", the young girl replied, an air of sarcasm clear in her voice as she did.
"Oh, I didn't...The taunting is merely a bonus for me", he replied as a cocky grin began to form on his old face.
Creating a giant fireball in his hand, the yellow-eyed demon then sent it flying towards his opponent. Quickly jumping up to dodge, Rachel landed to her feet once more as he came towards her for another attack. Still prepared to face her old foe however, the young Supreme Leader put her arms up to defend his on-coming punch. Once this had successfully worked, she then proceeded to try and kick her opponent again, only for him to dodge as the two engaged in another fist fight.
"You may be a worthy opponent, but you are not as strong as my son, or my grandson for that matter. What makes you think that even stand a chance against someone like me", he asked in a cocky tone, only to receive a stern look from his young opponent.
"I may not be as strong as Numbuh 0, but I have enough confidence in myself to try and stand up for my loved ones and my beliefs, even if I have to suffer dire consequences in the end", Rachel replied in a very stern yet aggressive tone. A flame of passion clearly burned in her eyes as she said those words, something the elderly demon could not help but find interesting.
Your courage and passion is admirable", the yellow-eyed demon remarked as he quickly vanished. Surprised by this sudden disappearance, Rachel quickly landed on her feet and began to look around for her opponent. "Too bad I find it so pathetic", he arrogantly remarked as he creeped up from behind her.
Upon hearing his voice, the young blonde turned around to face him. Unfortunately for her though, Grandfather elbow striked her in the forehead, only to then attack her in the stomach with a burst of fire. This burst then sent her flying into (and destroying) the remains of her flower field as she continued to rip through the ground as if she were a meteorite. She only stopped once she had created a giant crater in the ground, a large trail of destroyed ground she left behind lay in plain sight. As for Rachel, she lay flat on the hard ground, dirt covered her nightgown as she winced from the pain she felt pulsing through her body. Suddenly though, she felt herself being pulled up by her right wrist into the air, facing a now evil looking Grandfather once she was completely lifted. Despite the eerie sensation of feeling something bad may occur, all she could do at this moment was stare sternly at her enemy.
"What do you want from me", the young Supreme Leader asked in a rather stern yet authoritative tone.
" I will be brief, on the few occasions we've met, you have made it clear to me that you are a feisty, yet intelligent and passionate girl... You will stand up for what you value and your values...even if it leads to your downfall in the end", he observed in a rather sinister tone. " In fact, it makes me wonder just how long it will take for all of those qualities of yours to be stripped away."
"I will never join you...nor will I ever bow down to you ever again", she replied, her voice now a mixed tone of assertiveness and anger.
"I think you'll come to find that you have no say in the matter", he replied in a very sinister tone, one which both frightened, and confused the young blonde.
And with those words spoken, the satanic demon took his other index finger to her hand as he began to engrave some sort of symbol onto her soft skin. Rachel began to scream in pain as she felt the symbol burn itself into her skin, her screams bringing a smile to the old man's lips as her endless screams continued. Once the engravement was complete, he let go of his opponent, allowing her to drop hard onto the now lifeless ground. Silence came over the area as the young blonde slowly sat up onto her knees, despite the pain she still felt pulsing through her engraved hand. Curious about the mark he had bestowed upon her, she look at her sore right hand, only to find horror and confusion. The symbol engraved onto her hand was none other than Grandfather's symbol; the symbol that defined his wickedness, and the crest by which he was known for. Now horrified, she looked up to face the satanic demon, who could do nothing more than stare at her in obvious amusement.
"We'll be in touch", the satanic demon replied in a polite tone as he flew away, satisfied with how their little meeting though. But as she watched him fly off, what had once formed into fear inside of Rachel now began to become pure anger; anger towards Grandfather, and what he had done.
"Wait a minute! Come back here", she angrily shouted at him as sat up from where she sit. "I demand an explanation for this mark! Why would you-"
But before she could finish her sentence, a strange patter of lightning began to surge from the engraved mark. Catching her attention, Rachel could not help but gaze at the violent reaction that began to surge from her engraved hand. What had once been anger had now reverted back to fear as she gazed at her marked hand, unsure of what kind of spell or charm it was about to bestow upon her.
