Disclaimer I do not own Kids Next Door. This is just a story for fun.
Monty sat down and began reading The Book of KND. He carefully scanned the pages looking at all the tactics and weapons. He saw some journal entries and words of wisdom on on one page. One entry written by a guy named Chuck interested him.
"Don't get overconfident. You may have good tactics and weapons, but with out a team you can count on to back you up it all means squat. You can't fight a war on your own." It read.
Monty took these words in. He needed to find himself a team of people to help him fight Grandfather. He grabbed a bag and some traveling supplies and set on out. He decided to look at all the factories to try and find some kids who would be willing to fight back against Grandfather.
Meanwhile in his home Grandfather was seating and eating some tapioca pudding, while Ben stood nervously in the background. It took a minute to notice that Monty wasn't there.
"Where is your brother?" Asked Grandfather.
Ben gulped.
"Um...he kind of...ran away.' Said Ben.
"What!" Shouted Grandfather as he shot out of his chair and towered over Ben.
"We were in this tree and we found this secret room! In it was some kind of book called The Book of KND! It talked about fighting evil adults!" Screamed Ben in fear.
Grandfather took these words in.
"Fine I'll let him go for now. When he returns I'm going to ground him for a lifetime!" Said Father as he demised Ben.
Ben ran out of the room as fast as his legs would carry him. Grandfather went back to eating his pudding.
Monty sneaked into a tapioca factory. He made his way to the rafters and observed the workers. His eyes landed on a short blond boy who was carrying a large bag of flour with ease. A larger boy saw the blond and tried to trip him with his foot. The blond saw the foot and nimbly side stepped it. He turned and hit the larger boy with the back of the flour bag knocking him down on his rear.
"Opes! My bad." Said the blond.
The larger boy let out a snarl and lunged towards the blond, who dropped the flour, leaped over the charging bully and bounced off his back! The bully hit the ground with a thud. He staggered to his feet and eyed the blond wearily, before retreating. The blond boy smirked, picked up the flour, and went back to work.
Monty decided to recruit the blond he waited until the work shift was over and everyone was outside. Monty sneaked into the crowd until he was walking next to the blond boy.
"Hey I saw what you did to that bully. That was very impressive." Said Monty.
"Thanks, but it was no big deal. I ended in fights with bullies all the time." Said the blond as he turned to face Monty.
"The names Monty." Said Monty as he stuck out his hand.
"Names Bruce." Said the boy as he shook Monty's hand.
"Bruce I want to ask you something." Said Monty.
"What?" Asked Bruce.
"I'm forming a resistance group against Grandfather. He is my father and I want to put an end to his reign of terror. I want the the children of the world to be free. Will you join me in fighting against him?" Said Monty.
Bruce thought for a moment.
"Alright I'll join you. It's about time someone out an end to that tyrant." Said Bruce with a a smile.
"Welcome to the Kids Next Door." Said Monty.
"Cool name." Said Bruce.
"Thanks, but I didn't choose the name. I got it from this book." Said Monty as he pulled out The Book of KND.
Bruce looked through the pages of the book.
"This is cool! Do you know anyone who can help build the stuff in this book?" Said Bruce.
"I don't know anyone good with mechanics." Admitted Monty.
"I think I know a guy who might be able to help us." Said Bruce.
He lead Monty back into the factory towards the factory machines.
"This guy I know is named David. He works on the machines makes sure they run smoothly and that their safe." Said Bruce.
They came upon the one of the machines where they saw a tall brunette boy tightening some bolts with a wrench.
"A David." Greeted Bruce.
David turned around.
"Oh hey Bruce. Who's your pal there?" Said David.
"This here is Monty. He wants to form a resistance against Grandfather. He has this book here with all these cool plans to create weapons, but we don't know how to make them. You want to take a look?" Said Bruce.
David looked at Monty and Bruce.
"You guys are going to form a resistance against Grandfather?" He asked shocked.
"I know it sounds crazy, but this book has secrets in it that I think can help stop Grandfather. Think about this world is being controlled by a madman. I think it was destiny for me to find this book and meet you guys." Said Monty as he pulled out the book and showed it to David.
David looked at the pictures and whistled.
"This is really impressive stuff here. Alright you convinced me. I'll help you guys out. Can't have you two knuckle heads running around getting yourselves in trouble." Said David with a smirk.
"Welcome to the team." Said Monty as he shook David's hand.
"Oh yeah!" Said Bruce.
"Alright we have someone whose good at building things now we need someone whose good at organizing plans." Said Monty.
His eyes fell on a large blackboard with a work schedule on it. He studied it everything was organized and made so the work was shared evenly and to make sure no one got overworked.
"Who writes the schedules?" He asked David.
"A girl named Ashley. She makes sure everyone gets a fair amount of work. She also tries to make everyone in the factory happy and safe." Replied David.
"I think she would be perfect for the residence." Said Monty.
They went into the factory office and found out where Ashley lived. They traveled to her house. When they got there they saw a few kids at the front door talking to a tall blond girl who appeared to be Ashely.
"Alright everyone I'll see if I can lessen your work hours, so you can all have a hour of free time. Now you better go get to bed it's almost curfew. I don't want to see any of you get into trouble." Said Ashely.
"Thank you Ashely. Your the best." Said a little blond girl with pigtails as she and the other kids ran off towards home.
Ashely smiled at them and turned to see Monty and the others. She recognized David.
"Oh hey David. You need me to change your work schedule a little?" She said.
"No not tonight Ashely. I've come to discuss something important. These are my friends Monty and Bruce. We want you to join a resistance against Grandfather." Said David.
Ashely looked at them shocked. Monty stepped in.
"I know your probably thinking were all crazy, but I have this book that talks about strategy, creating weapons, and standing up against adult evil. With this knowledge and your ability to organize and plan, I think we stand a good chance of beating Grandfather and bring joy back to the children of the world. Think about it children we never be forced to work in a tapioca pudding factory ever again. They would be free!" Said Monty.
Ashely took Monty's words in. She was amazed by his determination. There was just something in his voice that inspired hope.
"Alright you can count me in." Said Ashely as she shook Monty's hand.
"Alright!" Said Monty as he pulled out the book. "According to this book a team of KND agents needs at least six people. We need two more people to join us. Lets search the other factories." He said.
The group traveled on to the next factory.
To be continued.
