It's been about a month since Numbuh 1 joined the Galactic. Unfortunately for him, it has not been as glamorous as it had been made out to be. Because he is brand new, he is currently on custodial duty on the Mothership. They paired him with Geo-4 of Sediment Minor, which is just a rock. Numbuh 1 almost immediately called bullshit when Numbuh 74.239 informed him that Geo-4's complete lack of movement was because "He has nerves of steel." Nevertheless, Numbuh 1 was to carry the rock everywhere with him.
One day he grew frustrated and asked Infinity, "Is this all I'm gonna be doing for the rest of my life?!"
Numbuh Infinity looked at him and said, "This is a test of patience and loyalty. You did a lot better than the other operatives did."
"What do you mean?" Numbuh 1 asks.
"Well, every new start has to start off somewhere. This is where they start. Most lose it within a day or two. We send them to 'other areas'." Numbuh Infinity explains.
"Like who?" Numbuh 1 asks.
"Well, there is one called Numbuh Vine. She is on suspension at the moment. There is also Numbuh 9L, you remember her right?" Numbuh Infinity says.
"Yes I do, she seemed to be very protective of me. And I don't think she liked Numbuh 274." Numbuh 1 replies.
"Well unfortunately, we fear the disease of Adulthood may have infected her too." Numbuh Infinity claims.
"Well, that's a damn shame." Numbuh 1 replies sullenly.
"Yes it is. Now if you come with me, there is something we need to discuss with Numbuh 274." Numbuh Infinity leads Numbuh 1 into a conference where Chad is waiting for them. Chad seems agitated.
"Now back to business then." Numbuh Infinity says.
"This isn't business. Destroying a planet is not business!" Chad shouts at Infinity.
"Destroying a planet? What are you talking about Chad?" A confused Numbuh 1 asks.
"He lied to us, Nigel." Chad explains.
"Lied about what?" Numbuh 1.
"I have lied about nothing. The council and I have come to this conclusion unanimously. Numbuh 74.239 has tried to help Earth, and he has failed." Numbuh Infinity answers.
"Tried to help? You told him to prevent Adulthood because it's a disease. Not because it's oppression, but because it's a deadly infection. You lied to him too!" Chad yells.
"But what does this have to do with Earth?" Numbuh 1 asks, now more concerned than ever.
"I'm sorry Numbuh 1, but Earth is beyond the point of fixing. We have decided that you and only you will be the one to carry out it's 'decommissioning'." Numbuh Infinity explains. Numbuh 1 now becomes as angry as Chad.
"So that's what the real plan is?! Numbuh 362 was right when she told me about the Splinter Cell!" Numbuh 1 chastises.
"We are doing what neither Numbuhs 274 or 362 were ever capable of. But you are Numbuh 1. We are going to set everyone free with what you are going to do." Numbuh Infinity responds callously.
"No, I would never bring harm to anyone on that planet. There are good kids there. Why should they suffer for the sins of others? There are evil adults, but there are far more good ones. They don't deserve to die. I never should have accepted the offer from Numbuh 74.239. You're not trying to help people, you're terrorists who want to play God!" Numbuh 1 rants, while Infinity sits there completely devoid of emotion.
"You will understand this better when you realize this Numbuh 1." Numbuh Infinity then takes out a remote. "God is dead." Numbuh Infinity presses a button and suddenly, Numbuh 1 feels his visor sunglasses (that were given to him not long after he joined Galactic) start to poke into him.
"W...what are you doing to me…. AAAHH!" Numbuh 1 begins to collapse in pain. Chad rushes to his side to try and help him. The sunglasses won't come off as they are now fused to his face.
"Nigel! What are you doing to him?!" Chad yells at Infinity.
"Nigel Uno is going to destroy Earth, whether he wants to or not. He belongs to us now. If you want him back, you will cooperate." Numbuh Infinity explains. Chad then dives on top of Infinity and attempts to get the remote from him.
"Let him go, right now! I didn't work undercover and sacrifice my time to the Kids Next Door to let you take everything that's important to me away!" Chad yells.
"That's too bad for you." Numbuh Infinity states. He then reaches up and hits a button under the table. Suddenly several aliens come through the door and pull Chad off of Infinity.
"Get off me!" Chad protests.
"Restrain him." Numbuh Infinity orders. Chad is then cuffed at his wrists and ankles. Infinity then turns his attention back to Numbuh 1, who appears not to be in any more pain. He stands up and watches as they restrain Chad.
"Nigel?" Chad asks, getting no reply from Numbuh 1. He then looks back at Infinity.
"What did you do to him?" He hisses at Infinity.
"Like I said, he's ours now. And you Chad Dickson, are going to witness your greatest failure in life:The destruction of the place you love, by the one you love." Numbuh Infinity informs Chad who's anger is now at it's boiling point.
"Numbuh 1 are going to as I ask?" Infinity asked the brainwashed Numbuh 1.
"Yes sir, the mission goes ahead as scheduled." Numbuh 1 replies, in an emotionless monotone. Chad glares at Infinity.
"When I get of this, I'm going to kill you." Chad hisses.
"That day will never come." Infinity hisses back. He then looks at the guards. "Take him away."
As the guards take Chad away, Numbuh Infinity turns to Numbuh 1 and smiles. Nigel is now his brainwashed slave, ready to destroy the Earth.
"Shall we proceed?"
"Yes sir."
End of Part 6. A lot to unpack here. This seems like a time jump in the story, but remember; this story will be nonlinear at points. I will get back to Galactic at another point. The next chapter will deal with the Delightful Children. Until the next update, please read and review.
