Alright, been a while since I posted something. So, lately I've been interested with the idea of Numbuh 100, one of the last great Supreme Leaders of the KND. And, well, so yeah.
Kids Next Door Moon Base
4 Years Before Operation: Z.E.R.O.
"The end of an era is at hand."
Numbuh 100, the Kids Next Door Supreme Leader, walked across the Moon Base Auditorium's stage in silence. Memories of all he'd done in his time flashed through his mind. All the good that he'd done, all the lives he'd changed, all the friends he'd made and lost, all of those memories that were precious to him he held onto in his mind.
Numbuh 274 walked up to meet Numbuh 100. Despite his outward appearance, Chad tried his best to hold back tears as he shook his mentor's hand. "It won't be the same without you."
"I know it won't." Numbuh 100 cracked a smile as he removed the pot pan on his head, letting it drop to the floor with a loud bang that echoed throughout the silent Auditorium audience. "You know, I always knew this day would come." Numbuh 100 chuckled.
When I first joined the KND, a part of the Sixth Age, I'd joined it when it was at its lowest. Supreme Leader 296 was as corrupt as he was savage. I never wanted to be Supreme Leader, I just so happened to be the most qualified when we stopped him. When we over threw him, us, the Kids Next Door." Numbuh 100 smiled as he threw off his shoulder pads.
"I'd seen so many of my friends fall in my time, Chad." Numbuh 100 said sadly. "Friends like Numbuh 283, who only a few will ever remember, friends like Numbuh 1772 who'd been decommissioned before their time, all in order to uphold all that the KND had stood for. To protect all of kid kind."
"Why are you telling me this, sir?" Numbuh 274 asked.
"Because, I want you to think of that. To think of this day, to think of this very moment for here on out. I want you to uphold everything the KND had stood for during my time as leader, I want you to be the Supreme Leader, Numbuh 274." Numbuh 100 said as he shed the last bit of his KNDefense armor.
"Me?" Chad said in pure shock before his feelings turned to fear.
"It may seem scary now." Numbuh 100 spoke honestly. "But the KND needs someone they can look up to, and that's you Chad."
"Sir…" Numbuh 274 looked down to the floor, unsure what to say. Who was he to accept responsibility, to take up a position filled by Numbuh 100 himself, the greatest KND operative ever known. But then again. Who was he to refuse?
Numbuh 274 brought his head up and looked and smiled. "I'll make you proud."
"I know you will." Numbuh 100 turned to the audience in the auditorium. "Kids Next Door." He rose a fist into the air. "Forever."
"Kids Next Door! Forever!" the audience exclaimed.
"Happy Birthday, Numbuh 100." Numbuh 501, Mary D. Luis, the acting Head of Decommissioning smiled as she watched Numbuh 100 walk off to his fate.
"I am no longer a child." Numbuh 100 walked off behind a curtain to a decommissioning chamber. "I no longer command the Kids Next Door." He stepped inside the chamber. He sat down in the green chair as he was strapped in by twin decommissioning squad operatives. "Numbuh 100 is gone." A television popped in front of Numbuh 100.
"All that is left…" Numbuh 274 said sadly, a tear streaking his and many other's faces as Numbuh 100's screams echoed throughout the speechless Moon Base. "…Is his legacy."
