Chapter One
Nigel
Today's the day. Today's the day I have to choose whether everyone I have ever come to know lives or dies in a blaze. Nigel slips off his cot and puts on his uniform. They told me Earth was infected and there was nothing that could be done to stop the process or slow it down. They say the only way is through termination. A part of me believes that to be true and another part of me doesn't believe it.
Maybe I've been brainwashed to think that way while I was still on Earth. Perhaps all of those whom I've grown an attachment to was all a sham, a lie. And they never really cared I was just a prop in their plan. They used me to get what they wanted.
Nigel had been apart of the Galactic Kids Next Door for several years and in those several years he had been abused, tortured, and molded into something he never wanted to be; a villain.
Ever since he applied for the Kids Next Door he knew that he wanted to do good and fight against all that is evil. But that all changed when he was chosen to work for Galactic. They had fooled him into believing Earth was infected with adults. Adulthood was an irreversible and fatal disease. But little did Nigel know was Earth may have had adults but some of them weren't all that bad.
When I heard those children scream for help it brought back memories of when I was first taken here. When they held me down and forced me to pledge my allegiance to them and only them I knew I had made a terrible mistake. Unfortunately, it was a mistake that couldn't be reversed and for the rest of my life I would serve under Galactic Kids Next Door.
If I could have one wish I would wish that I have been decommissioned when I turned thirteen. I wouldn't have to fight anymore and I wouldn't have to worry about having to live separate lives anymore. Who knows maybe if I didn't have to work for Kids Next Door Lizzie would have stayed with me and we could have had a stronger relationship. I loved her but she couldn't see through my disguise to know my love for her was true. All she saw was a boy who cared more about his job rather than a man who cared about the love of his life.
"Let me go! No! No! Don't touch me with that!" Screamed Chad who was also getting ready for something as well. Nigel walked past Chad trying his best not to listen to the noise. All of a sudden Chad escaped his captors and tackled Nigel to the ground. "Nigel, you have the power to stop all of this! Why won't you fight back?" Chad asked.
Nigel pushed Chad off of him and said: "Chad, I don't see anything to fight against. They are only trying to help Kids Next Door in their war against adults."
Chad was astonished: "Nigel Uno, what have they done to you?" And in that moment Galactic Operatives had recaptured Chad. "Nigel, you can make things right again! Don't let them control you anymore!" Chad screamed as he was hauled away.
Chad used to be known as Numbuh 274 and used to work for Kids Next Door he had been promoted to Undercover Teen Operative all while working for the Teen Ninjas. Chad's words still ring in my head "they still picked you instead of me!" I wonder if they had picked him instead of me would I be in his position right now? Or would I have already been decommissioned and living the life of an average young adult?
