I wondered if I made the contest too hard, so I'll give another hint:Don't you find it odd that Mikey is from Italy, but has red hair?
Night fell and still no words of the Interesting Twins. The beacon on their communications device had since burned out.
"I hope nothing bad has come of our interesting twins..." The Delightful Children worried, pacing about the main room, wringing their hands in unison.
274 scoffed, "Don't send Delightful Dweebs to do a kid's job!" Ben shot him a look that could only be emulated by Father.
"I hope they're okey..." Numbuh Three said weakly. The Delightful Children saw it as odd that she cared so much for an enemy.
"Father has his faith in them, we will trust them as well."
There was a loud rapping at the door,and a thud from outside. Weapons bared, the operatives opened the door slowly and carefully. What they saw made them gasp.
"What is it? What happened?" The Delightful Children barked impatiently.
The operatives carried in the beaten and battered remains of the Interesting Twins.
"What happened?" The Delightful Children yelled, running to their 'siblings'.
"It was horrible..." Kane sobbed.
"They discovered us and attacked merciliessly...." Yasashiku continued.
"Will they ever fight again?" Numbuh Three asked.
"They'd better not..." said a familiar voice. Outside were a pair of glowing orange lenses. A whoosh of air, and he was gone.

The Interesting Twins were on their feet the next day, though they were no longer fit for any kind of espionage. The Delightful Children put them in charge of cleaning up and repairing the damage of Delightful Manor; Father would only be staying a month in the hospital...they had that long to get rid of the Kid Mafia.
The two twins sat in lawn chairs, leaning on each other, overseeing the work done on the manor, surprised at how quickly the work was being done. Already, reconstruction was underway. Father knew how to get work done quickly.
With the manor supervised, it was no longer necessary for the Delightful Children to make return trips to supervise.
Their continued presence served to severely agitate 274, which in turn pleased Ben greatly.

Mikey was feeling good about today..now he'd be finishing off this sector of the Kids Next Door, then he could move right to the Italian sector.
Meanwhile, Stickybeard and Knightbrace butted heads on EVERYTHING. They often had to be pulled apart by the other villains. Numbuh Two's grandmother kept hitting the two younger men with her cane and told them to shut their yaps before she gummed them to death.
"I van' to destroy the Kids Next Door like you two, but if you don't shut yer yaps yesterday..I'm going to show you what a senior citizen can do!"
"Like dislocate your hip?" Knightbrace retorted nastily. He was promptly pelted by her cane.
"Like beat the tar outta you!"
Stickybeard laughed merrily until he was attacked by the old woman's two cohorts. The fighting quickly got out of hand and finally Clover sprayed everyone with a hose.
"Now then, wats zat say 'bout ya when an Irishwoman has to break up a fight?"
Giovanni shook his head and leaned over to his boss, "I don't think this alliance is going to hold at all..."
Mikey shook his head, "No, you're right. Well, this only needs to hold out for a small while. Then we won't even need them."
"Someone's not telling everything..." Giovanni said coyly, flashing a rare smile.
######################
Spawn of the Tolinater glided on the air easily. On his head was an enormous sun hat, with a three foot radius of a brim. He needed to find the REAL way to deactivate the tree house's power. He picked up speed as he approached the tree house.
Cree moved stealthily to the tree house to sneak in and get rid of the Kids Next Door. Then she and the Delightful Children could find a better way to get rid of Mikey. His own children had disgraced Father immensely, and she loved the thought of them getting what they deserved. She resented the Idea of working with them at all, but it'd be a necessary evil, as one could not forget the hidden Forsaken in the ranks of the prim and proper school children.
Suddenly something flew over her with suck great speed that it send her flying, right into the ruins of the fountain of the Delightful Manor. Cree was furious. Looking around, she didn't see anyone, it was Sunday...the workers had the day off, and the Interesting Twins had gone to see Father.
"Cree, what happened?" Father asked on communicator.
"It was the Spawn of the Tolinater!" She raged, remembering the black flash that accompanied the wind that sent her into the fountain, "He flies around like he's never heard of gravity!"
She was too angry to detect Phil Jr. was right behind her, hovering above the water. He let out a loud, "BOO!" and made Cree jump and turn to see him laughing.
"You jerk!" she splashed water at him, but he moved out of the way.
"I'm sorry, 'couldn't resist." He said, holding his milky white hand to her, "Let me help you out." She fumed and slapped her ebony hand to his white one.
"I don't need your help, traitor." She spat and walked away. She didn't need to show up to destroy the Kids Next Door all wet.
Spawn of the Tolinater hated Cree and Father alike and could only feel pity for the Interesting Twins and the Delightful Children From Down the Lane. His eyes turned black and began to fizz. Within seconds he had fully charged ocular beams. He blinked once and his eyes seemed to return to normal, except they seemed to sparkle faintly.
He rushed to face Cree and fired the black laser beams directly into her chest. Because she was wearing her armor, there was minimal physical damage, but now she was out cold. Phil never intended to kill her, he had something much worse in mind. Picking her up, he carried her to the lawn of the Tree house. She might as well be decommissioned. He could disable the power in a minute, he didn't want to miss this. He picked up a box with air holes in it.
##############################
"TEENAGER ALERT TEENAGER ALERT TEENAGER ALERT!" the alarms blared.
"Can somebody stop that racket?!" The Delightful Children yelled over the alarm.
"All right team! Where's the threat?" 274 asked.
They found the first teen immediately and turned off the alarm, completely obilivious to the second creeping around.
####################
The Spawn of the Tolinater held in his teenage hands a complete readout of the tree house. This was perfect, while the Kids Next Door were dealing with Cree, who would be decommissioned, he could make his dad proud. Finding the power generator, all those hamsters....
The Spawn of the Tolinater was amazed at the number of hamsters there were. There had to be thousands! Well, no matter. He opened his box and dropped the contents on the floor. They were two of the Cat Lady's cats, a black one and a white one. The result was spectacular. All the hamsters scrambled, trying to flee the cats, who had gone nuts. The Spawn of the Tolinater laughed his head off, delighted that it worked so well. Maybe most operatives were dog people, but Phillip Andrews Jr was a die hard cat person.
##############
The operatives dragged the teen that they found onto the couch in the mission prep room. The kids could hardly contain their excitement. Now they could finally decommission the worst Forsaken in KND history. The Delightful Children had mixed feelings about this. Getting rid of Cree would help them immensely. Father wouldn't disfavor them if Cree was gone....
But what would that make them if they didn't help a fellow 'sibling'? They'd be just as bad as Cree.
"Well, now, Cree Lincoln is finally caught by me! This is great!."
Man, there's no way Ben's gonna put up with that kind of crap. Let Chad get away with another decommission? No way. Anne thought. Her siblings thought likewise.
I've been busy, so this is a short chapter.
