The Greatest Threat

A Codename Kids Next Door Fanfic by Cartoonfan88

2. Rebirth

Melbourne, Australia

"When can that cruddy supply truck get here? We're getting slaughtered!" yelled Number 22, head of operations in Melbourne. His troops were in major conflict with Alliance troops, who somehow, had a much better weapon supply and amount of soldiers. One by one, soldiers were being picked off, the soldier next to 22? BAM! Dead, the guys manning the turrets at the outside of the barricade? BAM! BAM! Dead. Essentially, the defenses of the KND barricade, which had taken months to prepare, was being blown and taken apart in a matter of seconds.

It was a good idea to build a barricade at Docklands, the name for the area surrounding the docks in Melbourne, as Alliance ships would need to drop off supplies and troops, and using surprise, capture the goods. However, the Alliance had figured out their little stealthy scheme, and began their assault on the barricade.

A loud horn sounded to the east of the barricade, bringing a smile to 22's face. He shouted "About time!" The supply truck simply broke through the offending troops by either blowing them away with the machine gun turret on top, or just plain smashing their way through! Within minutes, the truck had made it to the barricade, and the unloading of troops and supplies began.

The strongest thing the Alliance brought to the table were 3 tanks, and by the time the supplies had arrived, 1 had been taken out fully, one had been crippled, but still able to fire, and one was still fully functioning. Knowing this, the truck had brought anti-tank weaponry, and troops capable of using the weapons very efficiently.

The tanks and soldiers quickly changed their focus from the barricade to the rocket soldiers, if they were to destroy the tanks, then the rockets would be turned on the soldiers, meaning that they would immediately lost this battle. As the Alliance forces got their aim on the anti-tank squad, it was too late, the first bunch of rockets destroyed the tank, and so was the crippled one.

With their morale low, the Alliance turned to make a run for it, but was still fired upon by KND forces, before they retreated fully; at least five of them had already fallen. With their retreat, the surviving forces raised their guns in celebration and began to pick up the pieces of their fallen comrades and parts of their base.

22 wasn't concerned with the soldiers, or the base, his attention was turned to the truck, as another figure emerged, as he laid eyes on the person, he immediately began to smile, because he knew who the person was, it was his sister, and fellow commander, Number 29.

He smiled, but she didn't return the favor, as she slowly limped towards him, his expression quickly turned from happy, to concerned, to worried, all in the same movement. He then immediately helped her towards a seat nearby in the commander's tent.

"So what happened sis?" asked 22, "It was those alliance dorks wasn't it! I swear, I will get whoever did this to you!" She turned to him, "Was more than just them" she said, he leaned in, curiously "was our troops too, mine more spefically" he was shocked, but she continued, "Began a little something like this"

Earlier, Melbourne CBD

Like so many times before, Number 29 was searching for Alliance troops near the centre of the city. She had already taken out most of them in a battle which had taken place previously, but had escaped, and she was determined to find and end the rest. She was near the Melbourne Cricket Ground, one of the cities most famous structures, when she saw something most peculiar, she thought that she was seeing things, but she saw what looked look, a escape pod falling out of the sky and crashing into the cricket ground.

Using common sense, she sent 5 soldiers into the ground to investigate the pod. However, she became concerned when they hadn't returned, much less called in to say what was going wrong. Then, she saw a small platoon of Alliance soldiers, cautiously making their way into the ground, she then forgot about the soldiers, and then decided to ambush them.

She made her way inside, into the gate leading into the pitch, but she froze just outside when she saw, what looked like to her, a blond teenager, with the five soldiers she sent earlier. Her attention then diverted to the advancing Alliance soldiers, who made their way towards the teenager in usual fashion.

She turned on the microphones that she had installed in the soldiers helmets to hear what the Alliance were saying. Wasn't really nothing, the same "Come with us, and we will not hurt you" speech that has been heard so many times before. However, the teenager did nothing to respond, instead, she looked at them, dead straight in the eye, not moving, not breathing, not doing anything.

The mic then picked up the teenager saying "You will pledge your lives to Sophia Knightly" in a normal American tune, but menacingly. The Alliance soldiers replied that they would, almost in a bored way. 29 was stunned, she had heard rumors circulating about a teenager that had the power to hypnotize soldiers, but she had never thought that the rumors were true, especially since they were made by lower ranked officers.

Sophia then stopped, and asked one of the soldiers for their rifle, he obliged without any word, as she took aim with the rifle, and aiming directly at 29's head! 29 stopped cold in her tracks, as she then had visions of her own death, which were suddenly broken up by a call on her radio, it was from her brother 22, who needed assistance immediately, and needed AT soldiers to assist.

"You should go help your brother, these soldiers are mine now" said a voice in 29's head, Sophia's voice, but it seemed impossible that she could communicate in that way. To prove that she was serious, she fired a shot at 29, but missed her head, but hit her leg. After screaming in pain, the voice called again "I'm serious, leave now, or I'll become more serious, deadly serious" as she lifted the rifle to a head shot.

The soldiers who accompanied 29 began to help her leave, but they moved so slow, that warning shots from the hypnotized soldiers made them move much faster. After treating the wound as best as they knew how, 29 organized the supply truck....

Present Day

The brother and sister did not speak for a minute, not for reflection of the fallen troops, but in their minds, thought up of the evil that this teenager could perform. It was 22 that broke the silence "I know of someone that can help us in this situation..."
