I do not own KND.

Enjoy!

"GET UP YOU STUPID, DRAGON!" Chad Dickson, aka Numbuh 274 said, kicking the sleeping blue dragon in front of him, he had been trying to wake the thing up for almost a month now, but to no success.

Well, today he was just about to get a lucky break, because instead of taking the abuse Chad delivered like usual, it body began to stur.

Chad immediately began to take step's back, as it rose to it full height, which turned out to be absolutely massive, easily the dragon towered over him like some kind of god and it's mere presence was so hard to ignore.

He could just feel the danger in the air as it opened it's eyes and looked down upon him like he was looking like an insect.

Chad instead of feeling offended, he suddenly got the feeling that he should run, and run as fast as he could because if the dragon caught him, he would be burnt to a crisp, even if this was a dream.

But instead of opening it's large mouth to breathe fire, the Dragon did something unexpected.

It reared it neck back and let out a strange noise.

It only took him second's for him to realize that strange noise was actually laughter.

Mocking laughter.

The dragon was laughing at him.

And that's how his dream ended, with him feel like a clown, but it wasn't until a few day's later, did he realise, what that laughter meant.

It was a Warning.

A Warning about the path, he was about to go down.

It was warning him about the Galactic Kids Next Door.

Ch 10: Let's sit down and talk.

The interesting Twins from beneath the Mountain, just had the worst day ever.

They had been hired by none other than Father, to try and track down the hideout of the Japanese Kid's Next door, it seemed so simple on paper, all they had to do was follow Kuki Sanban to the base and report it's location, but unknown to them until the very end, they had been played with, the whole time.

All that pain and humiliation they want through, thinking they were just after a dumb girl, only served to rub salt on the wound of their perfect record and the beating, they got from the real Japanese Kid's Next door, had them rethinking what side they were on.

All they could do now was hang onto their loser pride, and hope they would succeed one day.

They never thought that one day, they would tell their employer that they failed their mission.

Of cause Father was angry with them since he was assured, they were the best, but that was nothing when the man promised to find them and burn them alive, if they thought their quest for getting information on the Kids Next Door was over.

So they were now living in fear of Father and waiting for their next instruction's.

Who know, that failure would turn their live's into living hell that they couldn't just run from because Father will find them.

Father would always find them, no matter where they were and who they were disguised as.

The man had eyes everywhere in the world.

And the Japanese Kids Next Door, wouldn't take them in and protect them either, because that much was obvious, it was no secret that they were hired by father, and when your openly working for father it destroy's any chance of ever switching sides because there will always be distrust in the room.

So they had nowhere else to go, so all they could do was go down this path filled with fear and shame.

Two day's, after suffering the worst humanation possible along with the worst beating they had ever had, they finally got a text from Father.

They were under a bridge, cold, wet and hungry, they didn't even have any parents, so the money they got was from completing their jobs allowed them to survive but since they didn't complete their latest job, they weren't paid.

So they were burning through their saving's.

The brother read on their only phone.

-Go to the Japanese restaurant, at the corner of the street, to receive your next instruction's- Father.

None of them found anything off with the text, since Father or the Delightful Children from down the Lane, should only have their number.

So they pulled their pathetic selves together, hoping they would finally get some good food into their stomach's and some clean clothe's and began to walk.

They didn't know, they were about to get so much more than what they hoped.

#At 'Little Tokyoko' restaurant#

They entered a small restaurant, the kind you would see in movie's, where you can have a secret meeting in and the people working there would mind their own business.

The place, was packed and immediately when they came in, they were approached by an adult in an ice cream man uniform, which they thought was working for father and said. "Let me, show you two, to your seats"

And they followed them, if they had looked, they would have seen despite the place being packed, nobody was turning their way, seeing their jagged forms.

And they were shown seat's at the very back, which they also expected and found themselves sitting in front of what looked like a ten year old, blond haired boy with tinted yellow shades, in a white t-shirt and purple jean's.

….There was just something about him, that was different from Father's own envoys that he usually sent to meet them.

Behind his shades, the boy was looking at them kind of grim seeing their appearance, before saying.

"Let's eat, before we talk. You two look like, you need it"

And despite having pride, they both couldn't ignore the calls of their stomach's.

They had been eaten nothing but biscuits and bread since their failure, their bodies needed some proper food.

"Don't worry about the money. I'll pay for it" The boy said, before one of the staff came over and asked them if they wanted anything.

They were both then surprised to see him actually pay for them and order them both, a big bowl of noodle's.

They both wanted to ask question's, but the steaming hot food placed in front of them minute's later, prevented them from voicing them out and once they were done and full.

They both noticed, the boy had a smile on his face, again, they had never seen an envoy for father, smile.

"Just, who are you?" The brother, half of the interesting Twin's from beneath the mountain, said.

They had both figured out, that this person couldn't be from Father.

There was just this kindness about him.

Than was he from the Kids Next Door?

"We'll my official name to the KND, is Numbuh 858 of the Kids Next Door." The boy said.

"THE KID'S NEXT DOOR!" Both of them exclaimed in horror, the enemy had appeared before them once again, where they going to receive another beating!?

"But, I'm a top secret mission that the KND don't know about" He said, getting them, to look at him in surprise. "My true alliance lies, in a much more secretive organization. So secret that Father himself, doesn't really know about it. He believes what we want him believe, and we have managed to sniff out any spies he may send to infiltrate us. So, simply put, if we wanted to hide, Father wouldn't be able to find us, unless we want to be found"

An organization hidden from Father's, all seeing gaze?

Was that even possible?

Even they know that the Kid's Next Door Moon Base was on the moon, it was a wonder why Father hadn't sent a whole arms to attack it, yet.

"And say we believe you." The sister half of the interesting Twin's said. "What do you want with us?"

Yes, that was a good point, what did they want with them?

"Well, my organization has been watching you two for a very long time. We know of your link to father and we want you to spy for us. We have many spy's in Father's fraction but we don't have people who have such a direct link, like you two have" Numbuh 858 said.

"YOU WANT US TO SPY!?" The brother yelled, again nobody gave a reaction around the room. "ARE YOU CRAZY!? FATHER WILL KILL US!"

His sister was shaking, at the thought of going against Father, the man who could set himself on fire and live.

But the boy was calm and said. "Take a look around this restaurant, what do you see?"

"Huh?" The sister said, as they both began to look around, to find it was normal, everybody was talking, chatting and eating, like what you would expect from a restaurant.

"Surely you most have noticed that we've been talking out loud, ever since we met and yet not a single person looked this way, I'm willing to bet some of Father's spy's are even in the crowd of eating people as well" He said, shocking them, making them realize he was right. "And do you know why, my talk of you betraying father hadn't provoke a reaction? Because, around this entire building is a special device that makes us practically invisible to those other than those from my organization. If you don't believe me, go and find out"

And they did, very slowly, both of them walked up to several people and tried to get their attention, but to no success.

It was like they aren't even here.

"Are you finished? The only one who can see us, is one or two of the staff, but they are under order's to act completely normal. So are you interested now?" He said, as both of them kept on trying before giving up and slowly making their way back. "What you see now, is only a hint of the power of what my organization can really do. Do you think, burying memories is beyond us? The moment, you walk out of that door, this all would have been a daydream and you will carry on living under a damp Old Bridge. My organization is simply offering you, another alternative to your big 'problem'"

And he was met with silence from both of them.

If what they were experiencing now was true, could that mean, they could change their situation around?

"W-What do you want us to do?" The sister said.

"SISTER!" Her brother said, she was actually considering this.

"Brother, I can't live like this!" The sister said, surprising him. "I can't live knowing Father is always's watching us! If we, had just used our common sense, we would have never taken the job in the first place! I mean, how are we supposed to find the Japanese Kids Next Door Headquater's without raising alarm! They were waiting for us, when we were exhausted! And they beat us so much that my body still hurt's!"

Grabbing his collar.

"Sister, please calm down!" Her brother said.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" She yelled, shaking him. "Can you promise me that the next meal we'll have, will not be another slice of bread!"

"Um..." He said.

"Exactly!" She said, before fire blazed in her eyes. "I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THAT BRIDGE AGAIN! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!"

And he gulped and said. "Yes, sister" before she released him.

She then turned around and said, to the boy who had watched them for so long and said. "Exactly, what do you want us to do?"

And Numbuh 848 replied. "It's simple. All you have to do is to continue to play the role, that you've played until now and make sure no serious harm come's to the Kids Next Door, if you are given a mission. Make sure you fail but make it look real enough so that Father still trust's you and the Kids Next Door take's you seriously, but not that seriously"

"And what do we get out of this?" The brother said.

"What you get out of this, is that I will give you, the name of places where you can eat as much as you want, for free and is protected like this restaurant. All you need to do is flash this card" Numbuh 848 said, taking out a solid black card, that had a glowing golden hourglass on it. "With this card, you can also get into a few motel's that would let you in for free and are also well protected"

And their eyes grew round, hearing that there were places in Japan that would let them eat for free but their eyes practically flew out of their socket's when they heard, there were places that would provide them shelter with protection, away from Father.

"However, the moment, you violate the agreement. This card will no longer work" He said, making them realise that if they took the card and told father about what happened today, they would come to regret it.

How would they tell him, that some random kid claiming to be part of the KND, had approached them and given them a plastic card that was now useless because they blabbed, their proof that there was another group of enemies out there, would go all up in smoke.

They could practically see the conversation now.

"With this card, you will also get's some perk's like free clothes and even a monthly allowance" he said, making them stare at him in disbelief as he throw it at them, and the brother caught it.

This didn't seem like they were taken advantage of.

Where they actually being helped?

But, why?

"Why, are you helping us?" The sister said.

"Because unlike the KND, Teen Ninja's and every other large group with cool weapon's" He said, "My organization, cares for people regardless of age. Do you think, my organization would ignore Kid's who could have such bright future's, but can't, because they live under a bridge and are slaves to a madman, who really just has daddy issues?"

And both of them, had nothing to say to that.

#In the Gilligan household#

Tommy Gilligan walked into his house, reading a weird message he had just gotten from the organization, what made It so weird, was that it was about Hoagie's friend, Numbuh 1.

It was about helping the boy when he asked for help, something about a malfunction in ages in the KND and doing something else.

He himself, had no idea what the message was on about, but he was willing to bet, he would soon know.

"Tommy..." A voice said, which he recognized as his mother, he stopped and turn around to find he was at the entrance of the kitchen, he wasn't surprised to find his parents and older brother around the dinner table.

What he was surprised was, to see his grandmother, Grandma Lydia.

"Wait, that's Tommy?" Grandma Lydia said, looking at the boy in the hallway. "But he's so much thinner than I remember and what happened to his clothes and his hat? Glad to see their gone, the boy look's good, Betty." Gaining a small smile from Tommy.

"*cough*. Tommy, why don't you join us for a nice family meal" His father said, and the man didn't mention, but they had been waiting for Tommy to come back home, so that they could eat lunch, in their latest plot to become a family again.

And Tommy was about to reject when Grandma Lydia said.

"Just let the boy go" Grandma Lydia said, "He's clearly too busy at the moment, and bring out of the food, already, I'm starving! If Tommy, doesn't want to come, than it's because of the giant serving you always stuff him with! The boy finally lost all that weight, who know's how much of it, he would put back on, in one sitting? And when is the other one going to go on a diet?" She said, pointing to a very surprised Hoagie.

"His younger brother clearly went on one, so why can't he?" Grandma Lydia said. " I swear if Hoagie get's any more bigger, he would stop being a boy and be a balloon"

Now, Tommy smile was huge, while Hoagie cheeks turned red and His mother looked insulted and fluttered at the same, while his Father noticed that he was slowly coming closer, instead of walking away, like usual.

"...Maybe, I can sit down." Tommy said, sitting on the seat which hadn't felt his backside in almost two month's before adding.

"Just for today"

And both of his parent's couldn't help but smile. It felt like the gap between them was closing.

And scene!

Next chapter, the day that Numbuh 1 is supposedly 13 year old approaches, and while on the run, Numbuh 1 enlists the help of Tommy, who just shock's him with each minute, he spends time with him. Review/fav and follow!
