Chapter 5: Dark Preparations

While the KND were discussing plans on how to get Slade and his minions, Slade was making plans of his own. Slade managed to get his own personal room at the Delightful Children's mansion by their Father's permission. Entering the room are two former KND operatives, Chad formerly known as 274 and Crea formerly known as 11.

"You wanted to see us sir?" asked Chad.

"Yes" said Slade as he turned around.

"This is about the assault on the KND moon base?" asked Crea.

"Yes" replied Slade, "I have a present for you two. Come, follow me."

The two former KND operatives followed Slade back outside the mansion. Outside, there were two new types of body armor waiting. Standing next to the two outfits of body armor were Mammoth and Jinx who were guarding the armor.

"This is the type of armor you will be using on your assault" said Slade.

"What's so special about this armor?" asked Chad.

"The armor will be useful to you" said Slade, "the armor has laser attachments as well as high-tech weaponry designed to eliminate your enemies."

"Do you have any other surprises we would like to know?" asked Crea.

"Certainly" replied Slade as he snapped his fingers.

Immediately after that happen, Slade's robotic ninjas came out of the darkness, also revealing a large battleship that was invisible at the time.

"I almost forgot to mention" said Slade, "this would be your battleship. It's a starship I have managed to create with my superior technology. You should have no problem eliminating the defenses of the KND moon base."

"When will our operations begin?" asked Chad while putting on the new armor. "Should we consult with Father?"

"Your concerns are my concerns" replied Slade, "I shall deal with him myself."

As Slade walked into the mansion he could smile upon his fortune that his true plans were coming to light now all Slade had to do was to get Father out of the picture and he could be able to rule the world. So he sent Gizmo to get Father to come and bring him to Slade.

"You wanted to see me?" asked Father.

"Come, sit" said Slade.

Father sat on the chair Slade asked him to sit on. At first Father thought it was just a debriefing on the plans to destroy the KND moon base. But when Chad and Crea did not come in, he was worried that that something was wrong here.

"Is everything okay?" asked Slade.

"Uh, sure" replied Father as sweat ran down his forehead, "where's Chad and Crea? I thought you wanted to debrief me on your plans to destroy the KND moon base?"

Suddenly Slade pressed a button and immediately Father's arms and legs were chained to the chair. Father struggled to get out of the recent situation he was in. He could not even turn on his flame to get out either.

"What's going on here?!" cried Father.

"I want you out of the picture" said Slade.

"What?! What do you mean?" asked Father in a panic voice.

"You see, I was hoping somebody high up would invite me in someday" replied Slade, "and you were that fool."

"So, you were planning this all along?" said Father.

"Yes" replied Slade, "back stabbing an ally in the back is what I do best. And you have given me total control. And once the Kids Next Door is out of the way, the Teen Titans won't be able to stop me either."

"So, this was also a ploy to destroy your enemies as well?" asked Father.

"Yes" replied Slade, "I should have no trouble convincing the world that the Titans are the bad guys and I am one of the good guys. You gave me that position, and I thank you for that."

"You will never get away with this" said Father.

"Oh, but I already have" replied Slade, "I have already taken the liberty of firing all your cronies and even putting your own children on watch."

"You what?!" cried Father as he tried to struggle out of the chair.

"You see, once I have taken over the world, I will not need such assistance here" continued Slade, "once I have taken out the moon base and the Titans, I will take out you. Only I will rule the world."

Slade then walks out of the room and back outside the mansion to meet with the two former KND operatives again.

"So did you consult Father on our latest additions to our plans?" asked Crea.

"Sure as the black as night" lied Slade.

"When will begin our assault?" asked Chad.

"In about three days or so" replied Slade, "until then, rest and wait for further orders."
