Note from author: Hello peoples! Thanks for the good reviews! From the reviews I have been receiving, it seems I have made some mistakes in my last chapter. Sorry about that. To Erica, you're right. I checked at and found that my spelling was wring. I meant to say 'coup d'etat.' Thanks for observing that. :) If any of you readers don't know what it means, that's ok because I will explain it later. Oh yeah, to spongekid A.K.A numbuh 33, you have a point there. It seems that I have forgotten about that in my plot. I also apologize for that but I'll try to see what I can do about that. Grrr! Also, I found that our plans to Washington DC was refuted by the weather…!# icy road conditions! I wanted to see the White House and the Air and Space Museum. Anyway, here's another chapter for you people. Enjoy! Thanks for your support and reviews and God bless…
PS Yes, it is a short chapter but with the sudden death of my grandfather(God rest his soul) on my mom's side just yesterday(back in the Philippines thousands of kilometers away), fact that I only have my only surviving grandparent I have is the mother on my dad's side, and the fact that I was never able to attend any of my deceased grandparents(God rest their souls) funerals and pay my last respects to them after being like second parents to me due to the blasted prices of airplane tickets; that's the best I can do for now…I feel so homesick…: (
PPS I revised and corrected Chapter 10 because some question marks were missing and some spellings were altered. I don't know why it happened, but I have my suspicion that it was because I made 3 revisions one directly after the other when I posted the one you guys read. Maybe it confused the computers so things got changed. Anyway, here is Chapter 10…again…revised…and but better…much, much better.
PPPS It seems that I can do nothing with the fact that the qestion marks are always missing. I don't know why this is happening but may God have someone who works for fix it.
Chapter 10: Redemption and New Allies
"Le' go of me, ya buncha freaks!" a blindfolded Numbuh 4 snarled as he was bound to a wooden chair by rope, "Le' go of me o' else!"
"Shut up, fool!" a black uniformed CND operative shouted as he gave yet another blow to an already bloodied up KND agent, "Don't you understand already! Do I have to continue repeating myself to get this into you stupid brain! You are going to die whether you like it or not! You're just one kid against us, the better trained CND SS Forces, and you can't stand a chance. So, just shut up and accept your fate!"
Seldomly spitting out some blood, the Australian muttered to himself as he in his chair was carried hall after hall with a few occasional guards. Alter what seemed like forever, he heard the hissing of the sliding doors opening. In seconds, he felt himself being roughly thrust down and heard two people arguing about his state.
"Negative 349," a Russian accented voice gasped, "What have you done with him. It looks as if he were gang-beaten."
"Well," the character that had beaten Numbuh 4 before responded, "He was uh…a little uncooperative when he brought him and he was getting on my nerves. So I punished him."
"PUNISHED HIM!" the Russian blurted out with a tone of rage in his voice, "He's already going to be given the ultimate and cruelest punishment of death by the acid and you still hurt him! Has he not suffered enough, Negative 349, by the electrocuting, and the pain inducers, and the frequent torture given to him emotionally as well with the stripping of all his honor and the constant feeling of fear and terror!"
"Negative 280," the other responded, "It doesn't matter. He's going to die anyway."
"It doesn't matter!" the one identified as Negative 280 cried out, "What do you mean by 'it doesn't matter'! Hasn't the treatment in the mines we used to live in years ago taught you anything! We lost many of our comrades and brothers and sisters in those mines due to the terrible treatment given! Wasn't that taught you anything about the sanctity of life! hasn't it taught you –"
"Negative 280," the other muttered, "You've always been too soft on the prisoners and on the people you were supposed to kill. I guess the new scars on your back haven't taught you anything at all, has it? You have to be tough to survive and you have to be ruthless to kill. 'Survival of the fittest' as some call it."
"Um, sirs," one of the people behind Numbuh 4 interrupted their discussion, "I hate to butt in but we do have an execution to run."
"Very well," the Russian grumbled angrily as her walked to his desk to retrieve a file of papers, "I hate this job."
"OK, so your penalty of 20 whip-lashes did teach you something."
"Enough," Negative 280 said in a loud voice, "The trail and execution begins now!"
Turning to the Australian, he motioned the guards to remove the handkerchief covering the prisoner's eyes and called out to him while reading the documents, "Numbuh 4 of the Kids Next Door, identification number KND-1496-82-2, you are held in court on the multiple charges of great disrespect to the Supreme Dictator, answering back to the Supreme Dictator, attempted assault to the Supreme Dictator, assaulting an officer on duty, and treason. How do you plead?"
Now seeing the people around him, Numbuh 4 responded, "Guilty to all but treason. I pledge allegiance only to the Kids Next Door organization and none else. The cruddy jerk Negative 1 has no power over me and neither does –"
The defense was abruptly stopped by Negative 349 when he thrust his fist at the prisoner's face. Lifting the Australian up by the hair he shouted, "Shut up, you impudent dog! As a sub-human(anyone they captured), you have no right to plead 'innocent' when you are at court! You are to plead guilty of all! Do you understand, stupid!"
"Negative 349!" Numbuh 280 responded to stop further mistreatment, "That is enough! You may be able to do that barbaric behavior in other execution chambers but not in mine. In here, no one does that without my consent! Now, back to the trial!"
Turning again to Numbuh 4, the Russian made clear, "Numbuh 4 of the Kids Next Door, let me explain to you some things. To Negative 1, once you are within range of hearing his orders, you are in his power and, if you disobey his commands, you are guilty of treason. So, as you can see, these terms do indeed declare you guilty. Understand?"
"Fine," Numbuh 4 growled, "So, I am guilty! Now, what!"
Continuing to read the document aloud, Numbuh 280 said, "Therefore, Negative 1, the Supreme Leader and Dictator of all things, declares you guilty of all charges and sentences you to death by acid. Here ends the trial."
"What!" Numbuh 4 cried out in surprise, "That was it! Where's my lawyer! Were are the witnesses! Where is the investigation!"
"Sorry, comrade" the Russian apologized as he walked to the captured Australian, "That's the way things are done around here. But consider yourself lucky. The original execution authorization papers were mysteriously lost and had to be remade. At least you had a few more hours to live than intended."
"Well," Numbuh 4 mumbled to himself, "This stinks…nice going Wally, you let yourself get captured, tortured, and killed."
"Donut?" Numbuh 280 offered holding up a plate of pastries, "They're chocolate-cream filled and we just got them fresh from a friend of mine, a Romanian baker."
"No thanks," the Australian declined, "Let's get this over and done with."
"Any last words or messages you want me to give to your loved ones?" the Russian inquired holding up a pen and paper, "I can send any messages using our secure communications line."
"OK," Numbuh 4 said thinking of what he wanted to tell the people he held dearly, "Tell Numbuh 1 that he is a great leader and that I wish him well. I hope he wins the war and is promoted with full honors. Tell Numbuh 2 that he has been a great friend of mine and tell him that he can have all my stuff. Tell Numbuh 5 that she's been an wonderful advice-giver and almost a sister to me. Tell her that I thank her a lot for that. And tell Numbuh 3…oh, Numbuh 3…"
"You need a handkerchief?" Negative 280 offered holding one up to him and wiping away some of the tears from the reddening eyes.
"Thanks," Numbuh 4 gratefully replied as he continued, "Tell her that even if I never had the strength to tell her personally, that I love her and lover her dearly. Tell me mum that I love her too and miss her. Tell her that I'm sorry for everything I've ever said or done that hurt her. Tell me dad that I didn't fall without a fight and that I fought well. Oh yeah, and give Numbuh 3 my hoodie."
After a few seconds of silence, the Russian inquired, "Is that all?"
"Yes," the prisoner answered, "That will be all."
"Untie him and remove his hoodie," Negative 280 ordered the guards, "Then, tie him up and we will execute him."
"Sir," Negative 349 barked, "You are wasting your time with these trivial matters! We have to kill him now!"
"And what if he tries to escape after being unbound?" a guard asked adding to the argument, "Surely, an adrenaline rush would enhance his fighting ability."
"Fine," Negative 280 growled, "As you like it! We will take the clothing after he is shot and before we dump him into the acid."
"Shoot him!" the other responded in shock, "We're supposed to turn on his pain inducers and then hurl him into the acid. What are you thinking!"
"You do thing the barbaric way," Negative 280 responded as he walked to his desk, "But I do things the civilized way. Executions are to sudden and painless, not long and agonizing. After all, he has suffered enough."
"Idiot," Negative 349 growled, "and what are you going to use to shoot him and end his pain? Your laser hand-gun set permanently of 'stun?' Once he hits the acid, he'll wake up and still suffer the agony."
"Yes I understand that," Negative 280 answered as he pulled a drawer open with a grim look on his face, "This is what I will use."
"WHAT!" Negative 349 gasped in horror as the Russian pulled out a real, fully loaded .45 caliber hand gun, "I thought you wanted to be merciful to him!"
"Exactly," the executioner responded, "When I pull the trigger, he dies all of a sudden without pain and throw his remains to the acid. That way, he feels no pain."
Gulping and sweating a lot, Numbuh 4 tried his best to dissuade him from doing the act, "Please sir, be reasonable! Don't kill me, please! I'll do anything!"
"I'm sorry, my friend but I have to do it and I do it the most merciful way possible. Don't be afraid," Negative 280 tried to calm the KND agent as he walked to him and brought the chair right in front of a pool of green bubbling acid, "It will all be too sudden for you to feel it."
"B-b-but, sir," Numbuh 4 stammered as he felt the barrel of the gun on his head, "All of a sudden, I-I'm hungry. Could I have those donuts over there for a second, please?"
"As I had said earlier," Negative 280 said preparing to fire his weapon, "don't be afraid. It will pass too quickly for you to feel."
"But I don't wanna die," Numbuh 4 protested feeling even more nervous as the guards started to blindfold him again.
"Be prepared," the executioner warned him, "I will fire in 3…2…1…"
The countdown was abruptly interrupted by cries from outside saying, "Get her! Bring her down! Bring her down! Capture the vile intruder!"
"It seems that we have an intruder near here," Negative 280 responded keeping the gun on Numbuh 4's head, "But not to worry. The guards will get her."
"Guards," Negative 349 shouted to the troops beside him, "Lock the door so the intruder doesn't get in!"
Obediently, the sentries ran to the doorway to secure it but, as they ran, the door hissed open and a green and black nightmare rushed in. And as the guards held up their weapons, the flaming eyed she-devil had already let fly a hail of laser blasts pushing down the troops by the dozen. Guards fell no matter if they were trying to stand their ground in vain or doing the practical thing of trying to get away from the girl. And seeing that the guards were easily being defeated, Negative 280 and 349 ran the desk for shelter to protect themselves from this raging monster.
Finally, after knocking everyone in sight to the floor, the green and black threat cautiously walked around looking for what she was looking for. Her scouting around was suddenly stopped when she saw a familiar-looking character tied up to a chair just in front of the acid pool. The bound person had an obvious look of utter terror as he cried out, "Hello, anyone here?…Hello? Anybody here?…What just happened?… Please, help me and get me out of here, please! Hello? Anyone there? Please help!"
"Numbuh 4!" she cried out running to the captive and pulling out a Swiss Army Knife from her utility belt. Quickly, she cut the ropes around him and removed the black handkerchief from his eyes.
"Numbuh 3!" the Numbuh 4 exclaimed in delight after hearing what he considered the most beautiful thing he had ever heard and seeing the Numbuh 3 after what seeped like an eternity, "You're here!"
And the two embraced wrapping their arms around each other as they both cried out tears of joy and thanked God for His good and tender mercy in their hearts. After a long time, the two of them let go to look at each other and to notice any differences since the abduction.
"Numbuh 3," the boy said, "You're still as beautiful as in the day I last saw you."
"Numbuh 4," the Japanese agent said with a look of concern, "What happened to you? You're have so many bruises and marks on you! Are you ok?"
"I'm ok," Numbuh 4 responded, "I just got used to it. Some wounds still hurt, though."
"You need some kissie-kissies to make you feel better?" the girl asked making herself look as cute as possible and holding herself as close to him as she could.
"Fine with me!" Numbuh 4 said taking hold of her again.
Before they could do anything else, they heard a sudden movement make behind them. As they turned to see who it was, they say Negative 280 with a laser gun from a fallen solder and Negative 349 with his companion's .45 caliber hand gun.
"Sorry to interrupt your special time together," Negative 349 said smiling as he saw that Numbuh 3's heavy laser machine gun was more than an arm's grasp away, "but we have an execution to finish."
"Negative 280, sir," Numbuh 4 tried to reason with the executioner, "You said that you believe in the sanctity of life. Why are you guys still going to kill me?"
"I am not going to kill you," the executioner responded with the laser rifle up and pointing at Negative 349 with his other hand, "He will. I hate killing people so I gave him the gun."
"B-but," Numbuh 4 tried to protest before being interrupted by Negative 349.
"You see," the executioner's companion explained, "If you don't die, we will. Failing to follow a direct order from a superior results in immediate execution."
"B-but," Numbuh 4 tried to protest again but found no words to help.
"Sorry, kid," Negative 349 smiled raising the gun to Numbuh 4's head, "But only the strong survive. Both of you, put your hands up and prepare to die!"
"Sorry, Kuki," Numbuh 4 apologized with a greatly saddened face, "Thanks for trying to save me anyway. I guess it's the thought that counts."
"Ready to die, sub-humans?" Negative 349 growled as he held the gun to both of them.
Suddenly, the door hissed open and a Numbuh 4 look-alike with a bandage on his cheek, a copy of Numbuh 3 in a nurse outfit, and a duplicate of Numbuh 5 bust into the room with a couple of other soldiers all of them with a red band on their left arm.
"Frieze!" the Numbuh 4 look-alike shouted as he lifted up his riffles to the two CND operatives, "Stop the execution! That's an order!"
"Huh?" Negative 349 asked with a puzzled face and the gun still on KND operatives.
"You heard him," Negative 280 said dropping his weapon, "Put down the gun. We have a countermand. We don't have to kill them anymore."
"No way, comrade," the evil operative said holding the hand gun up to hip partner, "We have orders from Negative 1 himself and we see no papers signed by him given to us by Negative 4. He has no orders from the Supreme Dictator. It means nothing."
"Let them live, Negative 349! Let them live!" Negative 280 shouted trying to reason with his partner, "They deserve it!"
"No way, comrade," his partner responded still holding the gun up to Numbuh 4's head.
"Nyet(No)!" the Russian operative shouted as he hurled himself at his accomplice to pull the weapon away, "Let them live!"
As the two struggle, the gun went flying and hit the wall. But the fight was suddenly ended by Negative 4's rifle butt. At that, Negative 349 fell limp.
"Well" the Australian said handing Numbuh 3's machine gun back to her, "You guys want to join me and my crew?"
"I don't understand," Numbuh 4 answered in utter confusion, "why are you saving us? You're our enemies."
"I am leading my team and friends in a coup d'etat," the Numbuh 4's negative answered as Negative 3 handed them all red bands to fit on their left arms, "that's why."
"What's a coup d'etat?" Numbuh 3 inquired still holding the ribbon while arming Numbuh 4 with her extra Machine gun on her back.
"That, my friend," Negative 4 answered, "is a sudden and forceful military takeover and, since I was the one who organized it, I'm the leader."
"And what is your cause?" Numbuh 4 asked before putting on the band.
"We are here to liberate the Children Next Door from the tyranny of Negative 1," the Australian leader answered, "and to protect all other worlds from his reign and abuses. Also. We aim to better improve the conditions and rules or the organization. And, Negative 280, that means no more executions for you."
"Glorious!" the Russian responded eagerly taking up the red band on himself and holding up a laser rifle from his desk, "I'll never have to kill another poor, unfortunate soul again!"
"Numbuh 3 and 4," Negative 4 addressed them, "That also means that your world will be liberated and the war will come to an abrupt end. Under my orders, the CND forces will peacefully leave you and our organizations will forever hold a friendly, diplomatic relation with each other. Your world will be saved."
"Yay!" Numbuh 3 exclaimed jumping up for joy at the boy's words and also putting on the ribbon.
"Sweet!" Numbuh 4 cried out eagerly fitting red strap on his arm, "Awesome!"
"We will not let your troops suffer in vain," Negative 4 told the KND agents, "We cannot bear the burden of Negative 1's tyrannous reign and I see no reason why we should force it upon your world either."
"You mean, Negative 1 controls your world?" Numbuh 4 inquired looking up to his negative.
"No," the Australian leader responded to his positive, "the adults do."
"Don't they know about this world domination thing?" Numbuh 4 asked again, "because if that's the matter, than the adults will rule us and not the blasted Negative 1."
"No," Negative 4 answered the question as the walked to the exit, "They don't. Under the orders of Negative1, all CND operatives are to keep the operation a secret in out world."
"Wait," Negative 280 shouted to the others as he ran to the .45 caliber hand-gun, "I have to do something first."
"And what could that be?" Negative 5 questioned looking at the Russian operative.
"Something I should have done before," Negative 280 shouted hurling the gun into the vat of acid, "This!"
"And this," he growled as he rolled a huge barrel of anti-acid into the vat, "May this chamber never more be used for the purpose of killing!"
"Ready now?" a CND soldier asked looking at him.
"Now, let's go!" Negative 280 responded as he ran to them, "We have many foes to defeat and standing here won't accomplish anything."
"Let's go!" the rebel Australian leader shouted to his crew of renegade CND soldiers and two KND operatives as they all ran out of the Execution Chamber 32.
