Spells and Louds
Chapter 390: KND Meeting.
(The Royal Fortress, somewhere in the North Pacific.)
The massive Royal Fortress is back home and all of its systems are standing by for another dimensional travel. "GLADIS, what's our status on the reactors and anything else on reports today?" Martin is walking by the halls and going through reports.
GLADIS comes down from the ceiling and she follows him. "All systems are clean and operational and there have been no signs of anything that needs to be replaced or fixed, also we had some recent occurrences with the Super weapons and they may need some looking into."
"Which super weapons are we talking about? Which ones?" asked Martin as she then drinks his coffee.
"The Weather storm device, Vacuum Imploders, Proton Colliders and the Particle Cannon. But I actually ran through the schematics and it seems the only issue are some unwanted sea creatures stuck within them."
Then gets sea creature control down there as well as the engineers and have them sweep up those crabs, if they don't budge then we're cooking them" replied Martin.
"Yes Mr. McKenzie and once again I am truly honored that I am working with you and the Royal Defenders, also the some of the team has arrived and are awaiting for the Royal fortress to begin dimensional travel, they are waiting for you in the main meeting room."
Martin chuckles. "That's nice to know your feeling in tip top shape than you did work with Jerry and I'll go and meet up with the team soon." They both go their separate ways and head off to their work.
Martin makes it to the main meeting room and he sees Neil, Gwen, Leni, Luna, Lincoln, Linka, Jordan, Dominic, Sam, Loni, Carol, Dana, Becky, Leon and Boomer are there alongside, Penny and Jack Cyber. But he does notice tow people are not there. "Where the heck are Tadashi and Victor?"
"Victor was called to go to the other dimension in par with ours and Tadashi went to help with some Baymax malfunctions back in San Fransokyo" replied Penny. "Also, we are locked and loaded for take-off. We just need the signal and location."
Martin heads to the main control so the Chronosphere. "Where are we going again?" He then puts his coffee onto the table and checks on the multiverse map and any reports he missed out.
"World of the Kids Next Door" replied Lincoln, Linka and Jordan. They all look to the kids, except for Neil, Gwen, Leni, Luna, Sam and Loni.
"And can you three tell us why we're going back there?" asked Jack Cyber.
"We have business to attend to with the so-called kids we call our allies, business that won't stop till we put an end to it, or just shut them up" said Lincoln. He sounds kinda annoyed by this.
Jordan sighs. "We just need to go there now, otherwise we're gonna have another visit from Numbuh 362 and the rest of sector V." Dominic hisses from this sudden change of attitude.
They can tell something is wrong and it looks like it has something to do with Lincoln. They wanna ask what this is all about, but decide not to and just find the answers when they get there.
Martin then goes back to the main controls and sets coordinates. "Okay, so headed to the KND dimension, now."
The portal opens and the massive naval platform gets ready to enter on through, they all leave the room and head to the main deck above and look to the portal.
The Netherdrakes stand next to Lincoln and Linka and they pet them and look onward to the portal. "Things are about to get messed up real fast when we go through there" said Linka.
They're Pokemon are also with them and stand tall for what happens. "Time to settle this once and for all, because I am so tired of them always coming to our home and making the same dang stupid request" said Lincoln. Mjolnir starts to spark a bit and everyone can tell things are going to get frisky.
"Whatever is going on with you guys has got to involve something with the kids and they're organization" said Martin. "And I'm afraid to ask what it's all about."
Neil sighs. "You have no idea McKenzie."
They all look ahead and go through the portal.
(Pacific Outpost, KND Earth.)
The Royal Fortress has arrived and the entire naval war platform is nearing the naval shipyards and Construction yard and they also spot something else odd. "What the hell is that?" asked Boomer.
They spot what appears to be another naval platform not too far from the Allied shipyard outpost, but it looks like it's made from ship parts and a giant garbage barge and they see the logo on the side. "KND."
Jordan sighs. "Of course they'd make something like that, just because we have a formidable and superior navy they wanna be like us and make their own thing. What the heck are they trying to do next, make their own Battlecruiser?"
"Let's not get our hopes up" said Leon. "Let's get to the moon base and get this whole thing over with."
"I need to contact them first." Lincoln heads back into the main meeting room and they all follow him.
Lincoln then goes to the controls and he makes contact with Kids Next Door Moonbase, and they see Fanny on the screen. "This is Numbuh 86 of the Kids Next Door, state you're business and-"
"Get Numbuh 362 and tell her to rally the rest of the Kids Next Door Operatives, I'm here to deal with the dumbest thing you have all called me in for, and do it, now!" said Lincoln.
"Yes sir! Finally some new leadership!" Number 86 then turns off the screen and she heads off to call their leader, Numbuh 362.
They all look to Lincoln. "Huh, so this is about the whole leadership thing they need. Well, Numbuh 362 is going to be 13 soon and she will have to take in mandatory decommissioning" said Jack Cyber. "So, they have been annoying you with the offer of being they're leader?"
Lincoln sighs. "Yes, yes they have and I am sick of it! Even though I'm gonna become 13 soon this year, they still want me to be their leader! I have a team and I don't wanna lead a bunch of kids who all barely toothbrush or even understand me!"
"Not just that, but they also keep asking Linka and me to join their little group too" said Jordan. "And there is no way in hell am I joining them, and I think it's because we're far dangerous than any female kid out there."
"The only kid in their ranks that we see as a great ally would be Numbuh 5/Abigail Lincoln, and perhaps we can talk to her about a new perspective into her life once she gets decommissioned, soon" said Neil.
"This is gonna be a fun fucking day for all of us" said Leon. The others also agree, this day is gonna get wild, and intense.
Lincoln activates his mask. "To the Special Ops Dropship, now!" They all make their way out of the room and head back on deck and they get onboard the Special Ops Dropship and take off, Martin just uses his Tech Sector Suit and Jack Cyber transforms into an X-Wing and they make their way to space and to the KND Moonbase.
(Kids Next Door Moonbase.)
They all look onto the base of the Kids Next Door and tons of their spacecraft have arrived to meet back to the base, which means all operatives will be present and accounted for, okay so some of them are still in their base to still keep an eye on the things happening on earth, but they have the allied outposts and they can be able to detect any signs of adult tyranny.
Lincoln sighs. "This will not be easy to lay it down onto them gently, these kids all want me to lead after what we did the last time we were here."
"Let's just see how they'll react little brother, one thing I know about you is that when things are turning bad then that's when you plan things out and find a way to make things work" replied Lincoln.
"You're the man with the plan Linky" replied Leni. "We know you got this, and if they won't listen to reason, then use whatever you got in that white-haired noggin' of yours." Leni ruffles his hair.
Lincoln chuckles. "Thanks, but the issue afterwards is they might ask for Linka and Jordan to lead."
"They're gonna have to try something smart if they want us to join, and there is no freaking way I am going to lead a bunch of kids who are all gross beyond comprehension" replied Linka.
"We all stand as one, and whether they like it or not. This is not our world, this is theirs and they have to deal with the issue of leadership they're own way" said Jordan.
"Guys, we're inbound and ready to land." Boomer maneuvers the dropship into the main hangar to the Moon base. Martin lands down and deactivates his suit, Jack Cyber flies in and he transforms out of his X-Wing mode and into robot mode and then reverts to his normal self.
All the kids look in awe at what Jack Cyber just did, Jack Cyber scoffs. "Kids." He then looks to the dropship. "Alright, let's get this whole stupid thing over with already so we can go back home and I can take a nap."
The back of the dropship opens and coming out is none other than the Royal Defenders. Well, some of them. The kids see Lincoln, Linka and Jordan and they cheer for their arrival, but they remain silent and don't bother with them. Even though they are asking for autographs.
Neil looks around. "Jeez, Royal Woods doesn't react like this anymore, the folks back home treat you guys as equal as the normality states, but these kids are just going up and over themselves."
Luna chuckles. "They should wait, they are about to get some uncool news when Lincoln makes a statement."
Lincoln, Jordan and Linka see Numbuh 86 and they follow her and so does the rest of the team, with their Pokemon and they're cold-blooded mounts. Dominic and the Netherdrakes do not like these children and they can smell some bad teeth in them too.
They soon make it out of the hangar room and the door closes. "We are so honored to have all three of you here and to be part of the Kids Next Door" said Numbuh 86. "Now we can have some actual responsibility around here than just some reckless and gross stuff."
"We're not part of the team Fanny, we're just here to tell the others what we all think of this dumb request" said Linka.
"We already have a team and there is no way we are ever going to leave them behind, we're more than just a team" said Jordan.
They all respond. "We're family!" Lincoln then replies. "Always."
Numbuh 86 sighs. "Well, let's just see what the rest of the operatives say, and we have to confirm this with Numbuh 362 as well."
"Something tells me, she already knows about our intentions and what se seek" replied Linka. They all make it through the halls and are being escorted by the operatives from Sector V.
"Glad to have you onboard Lincoln A. Spellman, or whatever codename you request" said Numbuh 1.
"Not joining Nigel Uno, and I'm not even thinking of being a leader or whatever garbage role you guys can offer to me, my final offer will be serious and I will make my stand" said Lincoln.
Numbuh 5 smirks. "Told ya guys he wouldn't wanna be part of it. He's got loyalty to his own team and friends and I totally respect that." She high fives with Lincoln, Linka and Jordan.
"And we respect you with your cool attitude and changing way Abigail Lincoln" replied Jordan. "You are the only one within this unpleasant sector that we can trust, amongst the others you call friends."
Numbuh 3 is confused by those words. "But, I thought we were all friends."
The Royal Defenders sigh and all respond to her. "We're not friends Kuki Sanban."
"We're only cool with being pals with Numbuh 5" said Dana. "She knows how to be serious and have fun."
"Unlike some kids who are reckless and over the top with missions" said Becky, Becky means, Numbuh 1, 2, 3 and 4. We all know why and have seen some of their …. Slight misdeeds and misunderstandings.
They then make it to the main command center and they see Numbuh 362 waiting for them and with her is her little brother Numbuh 363. Oh great!
They all stand before the leader of the Kids Next Door. "Hello Numbuh 362" said Lincoln.
"It's good to see you again Lincoln, and I know you really, really don't wanna do this" said Numbuh 362.
"The hell I don't" replied Lincoln. "I know that the last time you and you're little sector V for Vendetta over there came by and visited and didn't even give a damn about personal privacy, so this is the best way to end all of this ask me to be a leader madness! I have to confront the entire organizations and tell them that I am not going to lead."
Numbuh 362 sighs. "I understand Lincoln."
"What?!" They all look to her little brother. "But why? You're like, the greatest kid to have ever lived, and even if you do become 12, you still could retain so much knowledge of doing the right thing and I think the right thing is for you to become leader of the Kids Next Door."
They all look to him with complete amusement. Lincoln looks to Numbuh 362. "You're little brother is just a little boy, it'll be a long time before he can fully understand the situations at hand."
"Yeah, I know. Like when I tell him to stay out of my room" replied Numbuh 362. "Alright, let's go and confront all the operatives." They all follow the leader of the organization through the main halls.
Deep down, Lincoln wasn't nervous at all. After facing so many unexpected odds, it has hardened him to reality and its hard and heavy duty truths. This time, reality is making sure he wakes up and he is not going to let some kids make the choice for him, this is the choice of the realms and all of its denizens.
They then see the light from the main door show itself and they are now standing on a large stage platform and it is surrounded by so many member of the Kids Next Door. All of them cheer to see Lincoln, Linka and Jordan, all of them from around the world and there are cameras live to show the ones back on earth what is happening.
Boomer sees all of this. "You know what, I think I'll go and wait by the dropship, just in case." The guy then runs off.
Leon sees this and sighs. "This is gonna end so badly." He then picks up his Yamper that just barks at everything around him.
Lincoln then sees the microphone which is also part bull horn for some reason. "Operatives of the Kids Next Door!"
They all cheer hearing his voice.
Lincoln takes a deep breath. "I am not going to lead you're organization."
They all stop cheering and are shocked and also confused. Complete silence lingers throughout the air around them.
"Good call Linc, take your time and continue to speak and we'll be ready to bail out of here" said Neil.
"This cannot be good, but it's a good start" said Gwen.
Lincoln sighs. "Look, I know some of you have seen me in action and also see me as a hero who aided in the stopping of the most heinous and ruthless of all evil adults, but your world doesn't need someone like me to lead. I have my own team, and I treat them like family and this whole organization is not my family."
"We are light-years, in fact realms away from the world I'm from and I am sick and tired of having to be asked to lead this …. This kids club every time. It ruins the moments when I wanna spend time with my family, and to me family comes first and is all important."
"This world and its problems have been given some assistance and the only threats around you're earth are upstart evil adults who aren't even a threat to everything. You guys don't need me to lead, you all want me to lead and I am not going to let that happen. I know Numbuh 362 is gonna be 13 soon and decommissioning is mandatory and necessary, well guess what? I'm also gonna become 12 and so will my sister and the same goes with Jordan, and we are not going to join in this place."
"Pick someone who can actually lead, someone who fully understands things as Numbuh 362 does, this is not my fight anymore. So please, in the name of all things in the realms, stop with the constant invitations into this club of kids who can't even brush their teeth daily. I am not leading, not now, not ever and never in a million years till the end of time."
Lincoln then walks away from the microphone and the others follow as well, there were no words left from the other operatives and the Sector V guys did not see that speech coming at all.
Lincoln then goes to Numbuh 362. "Find a kid who has been doing a good job and has been understanding everything around the world at hand, don't have me lead, and don't force someone into doing the job and do not, and I mean do not put up some stupid game of tag so someone can be it."
Numbuh 362 nods. "Yeah, I figured you might also mention that one. I guess it's only necessary I look for someone who has been doing well with the reports and I think I know just who to choose. Someone who I have observed and has been a good leader, but doesn't know that he's doing a good job."
"Is he located at West Virginia?" asked Luna.
"How did you know that one?" asked Numbuh 362.
Jordan then shows them on the tablet. "Numbuh 901, he's been leading his forces in fighting off adult tyranny since he was 8 and he's been doing a very good job at it, he's gonna be 9 a few months soon and he was also the one who helped aid us in rescuing Luna when she was controlled by Father and the teenagers."
Lincoln looks to the files. "Huh, he is good for the job. He understands things around him, he has a big sister who is 13 and a former operative last year, his team respects him, he knows how to have fun and take things seriously when the task is needed the most and he has been sending daily reports and at times would rather be with his dad fishing or playing sports with his sister."
They all look to the image of the kid. Numbuh 901: Jake J. Bush. Black hair, tan skin, wearing a blue shirt with some eagle logos on the shoulders and brown cargo shorts, brown shoes, white socks, a gold bracelet to the left arm, black necklaces with the logo of an eagle and he is wearing a sleeveless hoodie with the logo of an F-22 Raptor jet.
Neil looks to the files deeper. "Says here his dad is a retired air force man and now works as a school teacher, his grandpa was in the war and so was his great grandpa. Wow. We got ourselves a natural loyal kid to the cause, this could work, this could actually work."
Numbuh 362 sighs. "Thanks guys, I guess the backup plan is in motion, once it's November and a week before my birthday on November 30, then I will announce the new leader of the Kids Next Door. You guys are welcome to be there."
Linka nods. "We will, you are our friend too and we have the upmost respect for you and what you could become once you're 13."
Lincoln goes to Numbuh 362 and he shakes hands with her. "See you on the day it'll happen, Rachel McKenzie."
Numbuh 362 smiles. "See you guys when it does happen." She also shakes hands with Linka and Jordan and are planning to invite her and Abigail to their birthdays and she is also welcome to join in Luna and Sam's birthdays too.
As they are about to leave Martin talks to her. "You know, it is kinda weird that you're last name is like my last name. Who are you're parents again?"
"Oh, well my dad's name is Martin and my mom's name is Becky. They both work as a teacher and a principal" replied Numbuh 362.
Martin and Becky are shocked. "What?"
Neil then drags them. "Let's go you two, we're not going through more of this than it already even matters."
Lincoln chuckles. "Looks like things are starting to turn better, in 3, 2 and 1." They all see the kids clap to them as they enter the hangar. Lincoln's speech spoke to them and they all understand, well some of them. This is like fifty percent of the operatives who all know that Lincoln, Linka and Jordan have their own team and their own responsibilities.
"Wow. Looks like your speech worked, sort of" replied Leon.
They get into the dropship and look back to the operatives who are waving good bye to them, though some of the operatives are unhappy and do not like what was happening, at least they know there are some who understand what they have to do and what they're purpose is.
Martin activates his Tech Sector suit and Jack Cyber transforms into an X-Wing and they all fly out of the main hangar bay. As they take off, Lincoln takes one last look to the place. 'Chang is good and for them, it's just the start.' Luna hugs him from behind and so does Jordan and Linka.
"You did the right thing, and at least some of them understand all of this. Good job little brother" said Luna.
"We're proud of you bro and soon they will take their time and learn to accept this" said Linka.
"Now we don't have to deal with their constant invitations into the group, that I am glad for" said Jordan, she then kisses his cheek.
Lincoln chuckles. "Things are changing and this is for the best, for the Kids Next Door." The dropship along with Martin and Jacky Cyber flying by them heads back for earth, to the Royal Fortress and back home to their earth.
Leon then realizes. "You know, for one whole day my Yamper didn't even-" Shocked by his Yamper. "Never fucking mind!"
To be continued …..
A/N: They might get some visits from some good KND friends/friend, and then on November they will say good bye to Numbuh 362 as she will take her step in being 13. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 7/16/20 – 7/17/20.
