Sorry it took so long but school hit me full force so I had to take care of homework before getting back to this.

Today would be an important day in KND history because the two age groups would meet and finally come to an agreement. Rachel was apprehensive and wanted to get this done a quickly as possible because the sooner they got it done the sooner they could start implementing them. The years spent fighting would slowly be behind them and then they could finally have some progress and help when dealing with the harder villains. She was riding with hundreds of other KND operatives from Moon base to the chosen location of the Coolsville stadium it was the only place that could hold most of both age groups while the rest of it would be televised to KND sectors all over the world.
This entire thing was really going to make a difference for the generations to come and Rachel had to admit she was proud to be a part of it. There were so many people putting themselves on the line for this but nothing less would be expected of the supreme leader or the KND and 3,000 they were both people of power and would do whatever it took to help their fellow kids and in the this case teens. When Nico gave her a more private call she explained in depth the changes she was making within the Teen Ninja's. The legend was having them pull away from Father's resources and offers completely the teens were against it at first but she convinced them that unless they were able to stand on their own feet Father would always hang over them and that was all it took for them to move their base of operations, to where Nico didn't say but it was coming along.
"362 we're preparing to land" Called 86
"Got it 86" buckling her seat belt Rachel felt the ship rumble as the jets reduced their power lowering them to the ground. Once the engines were off she unbuckled her seatbelt and headed for the door they had negotiations to figure out and she didn't want to waste any more time.

Nico watched the teens and kids fill the stadium from the announcer's box it was the highest point there and she wanted some place private before the negotiations started. The past few weeks had been pretty taxing on everyone but they had separated from Father and set up a new base that everyone agreed was awesome. There was an old warehouse across town that they had "bought" and after weeks of renovations and working it now had most the stuff that they'd had at the Mall, a underground computer lab, a lounge area, an entire floor just for training or working out and of course an armory. The entire thing had taken time and effort but they were now an independent organization.
The only problem in all of this was her health.
The poison might have stopped spreading but it was still there along with the source and the pain was steadily growing worse. The news of her health problems had been a major blow to their confidence but when the nerds weren't helping set up the computer lab they were working to find a solution to her health problems. The first thing they'd figured out through multiple x-rays and scans was that the broccoli had spread its roots inside her making them grow into her stomach lining, which was where it was getting its nutrients from and to solve that they had her drinking acidic solutions that wouldn't harm her but would dissolve the roots it had made. The second thing was that she needed to eat a lot of junk food and sweets because the broccoli only got nutrients from the healthy things she ate and if she wasn't eating anything healthy it would slowly shrivel up and the roots would die.
They had seen the progress and were proud of the results because in two days' time she would be able to get the thing loose enough to spit it out with a little help from a few vomiting agents they'd created. Once the thing was out of her they were gonna launch it into the sun so that it couldn't have the chance of spreading its roots again. It might not have been the best plan but it was still a plan and Nico had everything ready she was just waiting to get it out of her.
"You ok Nico?"
Looking over her shoulder Nico gave Cree a small smile knowing how worried the other girl was.
Cree, Her best friend had been a great help to the plans as well as to her health standing by her all the way. When Nico was fatigued from the source's affects Cree would offer her a hand and take her home to sleep or when the others were frustrated with the constriction of their hide out she would take them aside and figure out what the problem was while Nico listened and did the alterations either adding more or cutting back for the sake of space. No one could have a better friend and Nico was glad Cree was hers.
"Yeah just thinking is all"
"You stomachs not giving you any trouble?"
"Nah, I already took the solution for today and I'm not as tired as I was before"
"Good cause after this I want to take you out to celebrate!"
"The negotiations haven't even started Cree"
"So? everything's written out and Rachel already agreed to half of them while on that call yesterday all you have to do is read 'em out loud and sign the thing and were done"
Rolling her eyes she waved Cree over they stood together looking out into the stadium. It was almost full now with the airships from both sides watching from above with giant screens attached to the sides.
"We did it Cree"
We? Nico I didn't do anything"
"Yes you did Cree, you spent years trying to find me you risked everything to get me out, all I did was rally the others and get them to move bases, so whether you want to admit it or not you made all this happen Cree"
Cree blushed it had been a long time since she'd done anything this big and had success so it wasn't hard for her to feel bashful. Nico chuckled Cree wasn't easily embarrassed so it was nice to see her blush for once. Neither of them were really that easily embarrassed or flustered but when they were they unknowingly thought the same thing: adorable.
Pulling the flustered Teen into a hug Nico made her blush more before she returned it. They had come along way not only with negotiations for Kids everywhere but also in their friendship, they had always had a pretty strong bond but now it was unbreakable.
"Hey guys the KND supreme leader is here" Called Chad not bothering to knock.
"We'll be there in a minute Chad"
Pulling away Nico smiled "come on Cree lets get this over with so we can celebrate"
"I glad your seeing things my way" Cree smirked and pulled Nico along wanting to get this over with as fast as possible because she had plans for the new Teen Ninja's leader and she didn't want to have these negotiations tired Nico out before then.
Nico laughed at Cree's "enthusiasm" she knew her friend had something special planned but would let Cree have her fun.
...
...
The two leaders of the conflicting age groups met at the platform at the center of the stadium there were two microphones, tables, and chairs for the main agents of both sides to sit at. Nico and Cree made their way up to the plat form as Rachel and 86 made their way up the other side. Standing before the millions of kids and teens Nico and Rachel shared one last look before going to their podiums.
"Welcome Teen's and Kids to the long awaited negotiations"
The crowds roared in both approval and disdain but if things went smoothly they would change their minds.
Waiting for them to wind down a bit Nico took over.
"We have pounded out some things that we know both sides will like and that some definitely wont but we did our best to make sure everyone was happy and that our friendship would last beyond today" Nico eyed the crowd knowing full well that there were some teens wanting to prank the younger agents but they would be having second thoughts now.
"For instance we will be sharing Intel on any and all villains for not only future reference but also for if they decide to go after our allies they wont be blind sided and missions should go easier"
Nodding to Rachel the blonde took over.
"We have some major decisions to make but we wanted to let you know that some things won't be in this negotiation"
"Sibling rivalries are between siblings only, if we are to be allies we can't bring both sides into it unless it gets out of hand and someone blows up their house or on a smaller scale their room" Rachel explained getting some nods and knowing looks from the crowd there were a lot of siblings in both groups so this would hopefully make the battles drop.
"Now that that's out of the way we can begin negotiations"
The crowds cheered when suddenly there was a loud explosion from the ground floor of the stadium, dirt and rubble rained down on them sending the entire stadium into chaos. Nico frowned slowly falling back into commander mode as the smoke began to clear. Leaning forward she took Rachel's arm and helped her up before checking to make sure everyone else was alright.
"Is everyone ok? No burns or scratches right?"
After several grunts and "ok's" she turned her attention to the gapping hole in the bottom of the stadium. The smoke slowly faded revealing Father, Sticky beard, Nightbrace, and what looked like an army of villains.
This wasn't good.
"What are you doing here?" Called Nico she wouldn't let these adults ruin something so important as these negotiations.
"I heard that MY TEENS were backing out on our deal and I just couldn't believe such a lie but now that I see this!" the flames that surrounded him rose making some of the teens and kids shy away but Nico didn't look away she wasn't afraid of an adult like father.
"They didn't back out of your deal they just didn't have any reason to stick with it, the aren't against the KND anymore and they aren't with them but they will be" Nico kept her voice strong with her head held high, her hard green eyes never leaving Father's fiery yellow.
"You think you can just turn them against me?" his voice rose once more but Nico didn't bat an eye.
"Your an adult and as much as Teens don't like kids they hate adults more" with that the Teens cheered raising a defiant fist to the air as they cheered and howled.
"SHUT UP!" Father glared at Nico having had enough of this little rebel.
"you think you can just turn them against me? I am FATHER THE MOST TERRIFIYING ADULT OUT THERE"
"I already have" Nico turned to Rachel and nodded.
Both leaders stood together "TEENS AND KIDS BATTLE STATIONS!"
With fierce battle cries for the first time in history Kids and Teens leapt into battle together.
