KND belongs to Cartoon Network, Warner Brothers, and was created by Tom Warburton.

Thanks for the reviews and the favorites, they mean a lot to me.

Please review, it is appreciated, let me know if you enjoy the story, what you'd like to see, or if I can improve in anyway.

thewokie1: Sequels? No. Not right now anyway. Maybe next year or the year after that, right now I'm tapped out. I have been considering one that explores the origins of the black skin suits, but I have no idea what to do outside of that or what he title would be, especially considering the acronyms.

Continuing Transmission...

Chapter 21

Journey's End

"Trial continues tomorrow Dickson, get ready. I think they're finally gonna lay down the verdict on your sorry butt." Said the large and brutish alien guard.

Chad had been imprisoned for nearly three years, the entire time putting up with a meandering trial and ridiculous aliens. They had decided he was guilty right away, they had been deliberating what they should do with him.

"Sure. Whatever you say." Chad said.

"I heard some of the statements and the evidence. You better hope they kill you, because if they don't I'll make sure some friends of mine have fun with you." The alien said as he walked away.

Chad smiled in his dark cell.

A small flame appeared in Chad's hand as something black began to cover Chad's entire body.

"Whatever you say." Chad said again, grinning evilly.

Nigel turned and saw the sleeping, naked form of Rachel T. McKenzie Uno lying next to him on the hotel bed. She had a content smile as she slept peacefully next to her husband.

Their wedding had been three days ago, and it was one to remember. Nigel's groomsmen had been Hoagie and Wally as the best men with Lee, Tommy, Roland, Patton, and Maurice. Rachel's bridesmaids had been Abby, a pregnant Kuki, Ally, Bianca, Tara, Sonya, and Fanny. They had spent the last two days in the Bahamas, living out the first few days of their marriage in luxury and loving each other constantly.

Nigel got up, he could sense someone else was with them.

Nigel got up out of the bed and he pulled up the blankets to cover his wife's breasts as he pulled on his trousers. He walked over to the balcony of the Honeymoon suite and saw the familiar cat humanoid form of Krytai standing in front of him.

He opened the door and walked outside to talk to his old friend.

"The wedding ended three days ago." He joked.

"Nice to see you too Numbuh 1, congrats. Numbuh 362 is a very lucky girl." Krytai purred.

"I thought we still had a few more months before we had to go back." Nigel said.

"You did. That changes now. Something's happened. Something very bad." The feline woman said.

"What is it?" asked the voice of Rachel, who now wore a tank-top and panties; the stab wound Maurice gave her had healed up nicely.

"Numbuh 362, a pleasure to see you again. Congratulations on your wedding. I can tell your mating ritual was eventful." She said, causing Rachel and Nigel to blush brightly.

"Anyway, I have urgent news from the GKND. We need you back ASAP." She said as she took out a hologram projector and activated it.

What they saw horrified them. Chad was standing in a big intergalactic prison with multiple inmates running around attacking guards, but that wasn't the worst of it. Chad had the black skin growing on him, merging with his body as he laughed manically. Chad grabbed a large guard and burned him alive, then turned to the camera and blasted a fireball at it.

Nigel and Rachel both looked at Krytai. "They're keeping an incredibly tight grip on the rim, no one's getting out of the GKND center galaxy without permission. And Chad will have a very hard time getting it." She said.

"How is this possible?" asked Nigel.

"Grandfather lay dormant inside of Chad for years, he must have left a fragment of himself inside of Chad, giving him the power of the black skin suit, or at least that's what our scientists say." Krytai said.

She showed them a picture of words burned into the wall.

"Sector V Must Die!"

Nigel and Rachel looked at each other.

"If you don't want to go you don't have to." Nigel said, obviously concerned for his wife's safety.

"No, I'm coming. You're not doing this alone Nigel. When we were married we knew the risks. We face them together or not at all." She said.

Nigel hugged his wife close to his chest and said "Together then."

Two days later Nigel and Rachel stood together, suited up and ready for space travel in the moon base.

The ship was there, waiting for them with Krytai inside.

Behind them, Nigel's parents, Rachel's family (who were still awestruck by the whole thing), Abby, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Ally, Roland, Sonya, Lee, Tommy, Travis, Patton, Cree, Maurice, Bianca, Danny, Tony, Sanjay, Hailey, Joey, Silas, Violet, Fanny, Tara, Bartie, Virginia, Arthur, and many others had come to say goodbye.

"Make sure you stop Chad no matter what. I don't want anyone else dead because of him, human or alien." Ally said.

"Ally, trust me. If Chad ever comes back to earth it'll be in a bodybag." said Nigel.

"If there's any body left after you two are done with him." Roland said. Nigel and Rachel finished their goodbyes to Roland, Ally, and Travis.

When they were done saying their parting words to their friends they turned to the final five.

"So this is it, huh? You just pull a Superman and fly off wherever helpless kids need protecting and evil needs to have it ass kicked? Well good luck Nigel, and don't keep doing this to us." Wally said as he hugged his two friends goodbye.

"He can't handle sad goodbyes and neither can I." Kuki said as the pregnant woman grabbed both Nigel and Rachel and hugged them tightly.

"We'll miss you too Kuki!" Nigel gasped out.

"Could you please put us down?" Rachel asked.

Kuki quickly dropped them and blushed. "Sorry, don't know my own strength. Just keep safe out there, and make sure you give Chad a punch for each of us." she said.

"We will." Rachel promised.

They turned to Hoagie who shook Rachel's hand and hugged Nigel. "Be careful out there, it's a big place and you might not be ready for whatever it throws at you." Hoagie said.

"We will be, I have to get back to you guys. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to me and i never got to see you guys at least one more time." Nigel said.

"Okay. Could you bring me back a piece of their tech? I think I could do wonders with it." Hoagie suggested.

"We'll try Hoagie." Rachel said.

They finally turned to Abby, who was in the early stages of pregnancy. "Don't get all dramatic on me again Numbuh 1, last time you had me a bawling thinkin' I was never gonna see you again and you turned out to be dead wrong." she said.

"I sure was. We'll be back someday Abby." Nigel swore.

"Just do your best to keep the KND/TND/AND from falling apart." Rachel said.

"I will Numbuh 362, just you take care of Nigel. After the last few years I don't think he'd survive without ya." Abby said.

Rachel nodded and said "I'm pretty sure it goes both ways."

Abby smiled and took something out of her pocket. "I've been meaning to give these back to ya Nigel, but I kept forgetting." she said as she handed him his old sunglasses back.

Nigel smiled at her and put them back on. "Thank you Numbuh 5. You've done a better job than I ever did." he said.

"Oh don't be like that. I never managed to get under Father's skin like you did." she said.

"Speaking of which, if and when Father get out and tries to find out where I am, trick him. Lie. Anything to get his attention off you guys okay." Nigel said.

"You really expect he'll want to find you?" Hoagie asked.

"Trust me, last time we fought I had his pipe and i still do, it's in my room in GKND headquarters, he's still peeved about that." Nigel said.

"Well if he tries anything we'll stop him dead in his tracks." Wally said.

"Us and our kids." Kuki corrected, rubbing her belly, which held a future operative of the KND.

"Do me one other thing. Don't think we'll never come back because we will. I promise we'll be together again. But whenever you look up into the sky and see stars or Stardust... imagine they're our souls, and they are my promise that we'll return." Nigel said as he put his hand out like he did many years ago when he left the first time.

Hoagie put his hand on it, then Kuki, Wally, Abby, Rachel, Patton, Fanny, Sonya, Lee, Tommy, Ally, Travis, Roland, Karl, Bianca, Danny, Ryoka, Hailey, Tony, Sanjay, Joey, Kaui, Silas, Violet, Maurice, Cree, Bartie, Virginia, Pete, Peter, Arthur, Emma, Terry, Ash, Kevin, Bucky, Hugh, Alex, Spencer, Todd, Johnny, Ray, Isaac, Numbuh 999, and Numbuh 0 all put their hands down and yelled at once together "KIDS NEXT DOOR RULES!"

Nigel and Rachel waved down to their friends and families one last time as the ship blasted off and headed into space.

"They'll be happy to have you back Nigel, things are going to be hectic when you get back, but hopefully everything will calm down. Prepare yourself Numbuh 362, aliens like me are just the tip of the asteroid." Krytai said as she piloted the ship.

"I can handle it. After all I've been through in the past few years, a bunch of weird looking aliens won't be that much of a shocker." Rachel said as she squeezed Nigel's hand tight.

Nigel spoke into a radio transmitter and said something meant for several beings in particular.

"I am Numbuh 1 aka Nigel Uno, KND operative of earth and member of the GKND. This goes out to any alien threat, anyone with a black skin suit, anyone who wants to destroy youth and childhood anywhere like Chad or wherever the black suits come from. If you ever harm this planet... if you ever harm my friends... my family... then you better kill yourself right then and there. So if the creator of the black skin suits or Chad can hear me; start running because I'm coming for both you."

CODA

All the villains, including Sticky-Beard, eventually returned to their villainous ways, although they were on much better terms with the KND after what they had been through together.

Karl retired from the TND after he turned twenty and he began to have a normal life in Norway, with a family and a good life. But whenever the KND or TND needed him he came without hesitation.

Roland's original team were recommissioned shortly after the crisis, but they stayed in England and joined up with Terry and Silas' team, as Roland was happy where he was. Roland would lead multiple battles against Ice Cream Men, KND and Teen insurrectionists, and dozens of villains. He retired from constant KND/TND life after the age of twenty two and began a life with a woman he had fallen in love with a few years earlier. He got a job as a member of an emergency rescue crew.

Ally, however, left the KND life when she was eighteen and began to attend college to become a nurse, but if she was ever needed she would hurry up to the moon base and do her best to help injured operatives. She married Travis.

Travis however stayed with the KND/TND/AND much longer, only leaving after he turned twenty five and retiring to life with Ally. They had one child, who they named Corey, who became a KND operative of course. Travis managed to get a position as a leading tech engineer at a workshop.

Bianca left the KND/TND at the age of nineteen and went to college and she became a leading bank manager. She came out as a lesbian and she married Ryoka, who had become a successful Lawyer.

Danny left the KND at age seventeen to tend to his own life, career, and relationships. He got a job in the bank firm, working for his old friend Bianca, who made sure he had a paying job no matter what. He married a girl named Arianna.

Silas, now reunited with his old team and new team became co-leader with Terry. He kept it up until he was twenty-six, when he left the KND organization and got a job as a stuntman. He married Violet, who became an airline pilot.

Joey stayed a KND/TND operative for a while, even taking over a Sector V-1's leader when Ash got injured in a fight. Joey became a good leader and even became supreme leader for five years, when he gracefully stepped down and receded back as a TND agent. After he left the KND/TND/AND organization he became the first Olympic Dodge Ball player. He married Kaui, to no one's surprise.

Sanjay left the KND/TND at the age of sixteen and began his own, rather successful, repair business that could fix anything. He married a girl from his team named Eva.

Tony left around the same time Sanjay did, and after graduating from High School he became an actor and comedian, with a string of successful movie and shows. He married Hailey, which did surprise some people.

Hailey left the TND at the age of seventeen to become a professional chef, and a very good one at that. As much as she denied it at first she really did find Tony's jokes funny, which was why she married him.

Johnny became a drill instructor along side Numbuh 60 and he left the KND at the age of nineteen and joined in the army, where he took part in many successful campaigns and rescue missions.

Hugh left the KND at eighteen and became a cop, and one that didn't tolerate other cops breaking the law at that.

Alex and Spencer became a comic book duo, working for many big name comic companies. Alex supplied the art, while Spencer came up with the stories, often crazy ones.

Bucky, left the KND at eighteen and he became a fireman and married Angie, who noted he had an odd obsession with saving people.

Ray got a job as a lead manager at the U.S. version of Sanjay's repair business, after a long and successful career as the commander of the not so secret KND Fortress.

Tommy eventually gave up the persona of The Tommy, long after his career as an honorary KND agent. He eventually married a nice girl named Melissa and had two kids who joined the KND. And whenever the KND needed him, The Tommy would be back.

Sonya and Lee married each other, again no surprises there. It was however a surprise when Lee was the one who cried more at there wedding than Sonya did. The two left the TND together and lived side by side with each other no matter what. Lee found a steady source of income at a yo-yo factory and Sonya as a write for kid's shows. They had one daughter, who they named Janice.

Patton continued on as a drill instructor and commander of the Antarctic base, and when he reached the age of twenty four he stepped down. He became a police captain and married his girlfriend, Caroline.

Fanny, after much consideration and convincing by her lover Shannon got over her hatred of boys. Fanny became a police officer, and tried to be the best she could be. She married her girlfriend and they adopted a girl named Jennifer.

Bartie and Virginia entered a relationship with each other, despite the several state long lengths between the two. They stayed in contact constantly and were eventually married when they were twenty five.

Grey stayed on board with the KND as a spy and became good friends with Eli, who she married nine years later.

Brad and Sue stayed on board with their somewhat new Sector C-5, but they retired from the a few years later. The couple, now reunited, entered into a relationship that everyone hoped would end happily for them.

Arthur eventually became the manager of the restaurant he worked at, after retiring from the KND at the age of twenty.

Tara stayed with the KND and led her old team from Sector L into many missions. She left a few years later at the age of nineteen and became a professional model.

Isaac stayed on with the KND/TND as the leading science officer, before standing down to let someone else take his place. He became a leading scientist out in the so called real world, but would still consult for new pieces of 2x4 technology.

Gavin retired from the TND organization at the age of twenty three and became a camera man and pyrotechnics expert for movies.

Talisha retired soon after the crisis had ended, feeling satisfied with the unification of the Teens and the Kids Next Door.

Cree decided to forgive Maurice after a month of contemplating their situation. When Maurice asked for her hand in marriage she accepted, but made it clear to him that if he ever lied to her again she'd pop off his head like a zit. They had a son named Khary and a daughter named Penny.

Sector Z was cured a few years after their arrival in the GKND headquarters. They decided to stay, seeing as how earth had little to offer them compared to outer space. They would of course visit their friends every now and then. The team became one of the most feared and respected sectors working for the GKND.

Abby Lincoln and Hoagie Gilligan had a son a year later, they named him Evan and two years later they had a girl named Alison.

Abby became a write of children's books in her downtime when she wasn't working with the KND, TND, or AND, helping to make sure that everything was ran smoothly, no age-based fights broke out, and of course advising any new leaders however she could.

Hoagie became a stand-up comedian and had surprising success, even getting small cameo roles in comedy movies. Despite have many harsh critics, his friends never gave up encouraging him, no matter how bad his jokes got. Hoagie had a strong duo gig for a while with his old friend Tony. He was also the biggest supervisor of 2x4 tech in the field.

Kuki and Wally's first child was a girl, and Kuki remembered something she once promised a friend and she named that little girl Lily. A year afterwards they had a pair of twins they named Hinata and Jake. Soon there was another one on the way, a boy they named Ian. And finally two years later, child number five was named Jenna

Kuki Sanban began to study business in her mother's foot steps and quickly found a job at the Rainbow Monkey Corporation, and despite the fact that in public she appeared to be cold and stoic, in private with her husband, children, and close personal friends she was just as cheerful and relentlessly kind as she had always been. When her children were young she would sing the song Jenna had sang the morning before the battle.

Wally Beatles soon graduated from Harvard and began to work in the same hospital that Abby's father worked at. They worked together for several years before Dr. Lincoln retired and Wally took over as best as he could, which was just as good as Lincoln had been.

And finally Nigel and Rachel returned for good fifteen years later with a son named Seth. Because of his birth out in space Seth could see the Stardust too, just like his mom, dad, and their friend Rosa.

Nigel became the most honored and decorated solider that the GKND had eve had in its ranks and he had made many friends along the way. He got a job as a writer for cartoons alongside Sonya.

Rachel had gone back to her old goal of being an English teacher. She decided that after all she had been through, the wars and battles she had seen, a couple dozen bratty kids or teens were no threat at all.

The group of friends, the legends of the Kids Next Door lived happily ever after, like all heroes should.

And soon enough, they were all together in a certain place, with friends they had thought long gone.

End Transmission

As the writer got up, stretched, smiled exhaustively, and admired his work; the latest entry to the Book of KND, he got up and walked out of the room to take a well deserved break.

Then someone entered the room and altered the final line to read

End Transmission?

Finally! It's over, finished! This is how my story ends, not with a bang, but with a small, heart warming goodbye.

I would like to thank every single person who has read this story, followed it, favorited it, reviewed it, and liked it. You readers are a writer's life blood. Thank you all.

Anyway I wanted to answer a few lingering questions here like why wasn't Nigel the only KND operative from earth? Simple: Abby and the others lied to Father during Operation Interviews about that little detail. In the episode they lied about the fact that he wasn't going to come back, so why not another little lie about how many operatives there were?

Father's basement was redone after the teen party at his house, moving the old delightfulization chamber to where it originally was.

Rachel redesigned her melee weapon after Operation Zero to have a stop sign instead of a yield sign.

I originally had Sanfet telling his very depressing back story to Nigel, but decided the story had enough sad stuff.

I honestly have no idea if I'll write a sequel or not. Outside of a few ideas like parallel dimensions, time travel, origin exploring, and so on, I have no idea what to do. I'll think about it but right now I think my story is good enough as it is.

I know I said up above It's over, finished! But for me personally; it never ends!
