Seventh Holy chaptuh is up! And muh brotherfinnally beat KH Sephroth! By the way, I got it from Numbuh Eleventy Billion, aka Mr. Warburton, that the DCFDTL TV Tome names are incorrect. (Wow, that's a lot of operatives to get up to that numbuh.) Please don't flame me for this. He didn't say their real names, either. And the Helmet Guy has a name, we find out later (Operation coffee?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming down for another assault, Numbuh Four dodged again.

"Hey! Stay still so we can kill you!" The frustrated Delightful Children said.

Numbuh Four was practally beaten, but he wasn't going to let that defeat him. He'd rather commit suicide then lose or admit defeat.

Numbuh Two had finally gotten up. He had been propped against a wall, but woke up when a drilled hand demolished the wall behind him.

"Holy Crap! What's going on?!" The fight scene gave a clear answer. He shot lasers at the drilled machine, only to have it notified of his presence.

"You should have stayed down, Hoagie. Now you'll die like the rest of your little friends...." The Creepy Clan intoned together. They tried to hit the large pilot, but luckily, Numbuh Five jumped on Numbuh Two, and they rolled to saftly.

"Come on Kids Next Door, won't you play with us?!" The Delightful Children Form down the Lane Said, their eyes alight for once with an appetite for destruction. Their sickening laughter resounded off the walls of the tree house.

Spyder grabbed his swords and cut a neat hole out of the floor and jumped in. He traveled through the strong branches and underbrush of the fake tree supporting the KND base. He listened to the battle raging inside the base above him. Finding the loudest spot, he found a comfortable brace and waited for the outcome.

Numbuh Five was having a hell of a time trying to find a weakness. So far, the thing looked impenetrable. She was grateful that Numbuh Three was keeping those Creepy Kids busy. Numbuh Five happened to look down and see the holes Ben had punched into the floor. It gave her an idea.

"Keep 'em busy guys!" Numbuh Five screamed as she shot away the wood around Ben's holes. The lasers weren't effective against the drill monster, but it did remarkably well against the wood floor. When she got it large enough, she ran into other middle of the chaos.

"Hey Delightful Dorks, Numbuh Five got a present for ya!" she yelled, running to the hole.

"Stupid girl, adrenaline must have gone to her head." They said, shaking their heads. The monster stepped forward. Right on the hole.

"Later, Delightful Children!" Numbuh Five said, waving.

"Huh?!" They intoned together. Hearing wood splintering, they looked down. They instantly saw the problem. The wood around the large hole was too weak to support the weight of the weapon.

"Crap." The Delightful Children from down the lane said as the floor gave way, and the monster fell to the ground several stories and was crushed.

#############

Spyder was grateful the mech hadn't fallen through on him. He was tempted to look in on the battle by staring through the holes. He was glad he didn't. He stared down at the monster machine below him. The Delightful Children looked dazed, but they managed to climb out of the cockpit. They stared ashamed at the ground, and for a moment, Spyder almost felt sorry for them. Almost. He wasn't here to feel pity. He needed an escape.

"Father will be...most furious when he finds out about this..." The Delightful Children moped.

"I knew my idea was better..." Ben said.

"Let's just go." Andy said.

Spyder was grateful to the Delightful Children, they had helped his escape. He would thank them later.

The Delightful Children went one way, Spyder went in the other. His boss would be most pleased.
