Taking a ship and making his way back to Earth, Chad parks the ship away from the Villains Convention as to not get noticed.
"Alright, let's just see what Numbuh 5 wants from these fuckers." Chad says to himself as he works his way into the convention center.
Walking through the convention center, Chad sticks to the walls and works his way up to the rafters. Below him, he sees Father standing at a podium and nearly every villain standing before him. As they applaud, Father motions for them to be silent.
"Fellow adults, I have called you here today to discuss a very important issue. How we must band together to destroy the Kids Next Door!" Father shouts.
"Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Father over here!" Toiletnator shouts to get Father's attention.
"Yes? Is there something you'd like to SHARE?!" Father asks.
"Well it's just that the last you had this kind of meeting, Grandfather kind of unleashes Hell on Earth." Toiletnator says, causing all the villains to murmur and not in agreement.
"This isn't like that time. Because, we are not seeking outside help. We are going to take them down ourselves. And turn them ALL into perfectly well behaved children."
"Oh I get! You're gonna use them to replace the Delightful Children after they were taken away!" As soon as Toiletnator says that, every villain steps about 20 feet away from him.
Having had enough, Father shoots a fireball at him, which sends the Toiletnator flying towards the ceiling. Falling back down, he lands on the rafters not too far from Chad.
"Now then, as I was saying…"
"Hey Father, look who's up here! It's Chad Dickson!" As the Toiletnator yells that out, every villain looks at the rafters to see Chad, who jumps over to push Toiletnator off the rafters for blowing his cover.
"Chad?!" Father shouts.
"Chad?" Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad shout.
"Oh, fuck me. This can't be happening." Chad says to himself.
Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad fly you to greet their son, by each taking an arm and bringing him down to the stage.
"Chad, where have you been?! It's been months since we've seen you! You haven't thought to check in?!" His mother asks hysterically.
"Well I um…"
"Yes, Chad. Why don't you tell us where you have been these past few months?" Father asks menacingly, as he approaches Chad.
"Why don't you explain to everyone how you're STILL a Kids Next Door operative?!" Father demands. Chad practically shits a brick at the mention of that, unaware that Father knew he was undercover.
"Father, our son's not in the Kids Next Door anymore. He tried to send them to the sun before becoming a villain." Destructo-Dad protests.
"He did do that, you are correct. BUT, his motivation is not what you think." Father explains. He then turns to Chad. "You didn't think that we didn't have moles of our own did you?"
"How do you know? Who told you?" Chad asks.
"That's hardly important now. What is important is you answer some questions we have for you. Number 1, where is my brat of a nephew? Number 2, where are my Delightful Children? And, Number 3, what plans does this Numbuh Infinity have for us?" Father asks.
"I have no clue where Nigel or the Delightful Children are,or if they're even alive. And Numbuh Infinity wants us all dead." Chad answers bluntly.
"Tell the truth, dear. It'll be easier if you do." Mega-Mom pleads, but change doesn't say anything.
"Son, please. Tell the truth. Do you really expect to believe merely that?" Destructo-Dad asks.
"Honestly, I don't give a shit about what any of you believe." Chad bluntly answers, much their surprise.
"Chad! Watch your mouth young man!" His mom protests.
"It's true. What benefit do I have to gain from talking to anyone if you anyway? Doesn't change the fact that you guys were inches from destruction and helped prevent that from happening." Chad says, causing Father to grab him by the shirt.
"Why should we believe you, you disrespectful little shit? Almost everything you said while working was CLEARLY part of a lie. What's next you never really hated Numbuh 1 and are really in…" Father pauses after sensing tension within Chad. "Oh? You did, didn't you?" Father chuckles.
"You hear that, everyone? Chad Dickson is in love with Nigel Uno!" Father laughs, causing half of the villains to laugh and the others to just stand confused. Chad is feeling a mix of anger and sadness at having been outed in such an embarrassing way.
"Oh that... is… just… cute!" Father mocks.
"Fuck you asshole." Chad says, causing Father to slap him.
"Don't… EVER… speak to me like that again!" Father shouts.
"Now, now. Father, we can handle this, we are his parents. We will discipline him, and even find a cure for his problem." Mega-Mom states.
"What problem would that be?" Chad asks his mother.
"Well, we know your… feelings may not have necessarily been your own. There is this great pea gram I heard about in Alabama that helps boys like you through this." Mega-Mom ignorantly suggests, much to Chad's disgust.
"Listen Chad, we love you. We want to help, and we mean that." His dad says.
"And when I say this, I mean it too. Fuck you. You have no idea what it feels like to be me. Maybe I should've let that Galactic death cult destroy you, just so you can know what this shit feels like." Chad replies, now more angry than said. His parents back away from in shock, and Father approaches him and creates a massive fireball."
"You… disrespectful… little… FAGGOT!" Before he can drop the fireball on Chad, a gunshot rings out and Father is hit in the shoulder. Falling backwards, Father looks around to see that there are shooters with actual guns in the convention center.
Using his evil powers to heal the wound with fire, he stands up and launches fireballs at the shooters' balcony.
"Don't fuck up… THE SUIT!" He yells.
As gunfire and literal fire shoot above their heads, the villains all begin running out of the building. Eventually Father is hit several more times, and he decides to flee and deal with his would-be assassins another time.
Chad, having crawled onto the floor to avoid being shot finds himself in another great predicament. He has been outed as a Kids Next Door ally, a homosexual, and now has no home to go back to.
"Why couldn't they have shot me instead?" Chad thinks to himself. As he contemplates what to do next, he suddenly feels a hand pull him into a corner.
"Hey, who's… Maurice?" Chad is shocked time see his fellow comrade still in the building.
"Hey Chad." Maurice replies calmly.
End of the Chapter. An emotionally intense chapter for sure, but sets up a lot of storytelling down the road. This chapter took longer to write than I wanted to, but current events and my life in general have shifted my attention. The next chapter will focus on the aftermath of the events in the chapter. I still aim to keep writing at least one fanfic chapter a week. Until the next update, happy reading!
