Ten years before...
"Failures!"
"But dad..."
"No 'but'! You all failed again. Like always. Why I still try to train you to be good fighters? I should do everything myself and not try to train you."
"And why don't you go?"
The one who had spoken was Donovan. He was tired to listen to his father call him and his brothers failures and even worst things.
"What did you say Donovan?"
"You heard what I said. You aren't deaf."
"How you dare talking to me like this you little brat?" Father said creating a fireball with his hand.
"Wanna kill me just because I said something you didn't like? OK, just do it," The tall boy said, opening his shirt and showing his bare chest to his father. "So? What are you waiting for? Shoot this damn ball!" and, turning to his brothers: "Stay away. This is just between me and him."
Donovan then faced his father again with anger in his eyes and trying hard not to think that those could be his last seconds alive. The fireball burning on his father incandescent hand.
"So?"
"Donovan," Father said making the fireball dissapear "I don't know if you are brave or dumb, but I'm not going to kill you just because you faced death without hesitation. That's what I want. From all of you," He said, looking at the other kids standing behind Donovan.
All the children behind the tall boy were shaking. They thought that their brother was going to die. He turned to them and said, grabing his shirt from the floor: "Let's go. We need a bath," He went, and the others followed him.
"What I just did?" Donovan thought with himself while walking "I could be dead now. Well, but at least I would be free"
"Hey Donovan," Miette said, pushing her brother arm to catch his attention "You were very brave back there. Thankx for protecting us."
"That's nothing my little cute thing," He said kissing his sister's forehead. "Now, if you all don't mind, I'm going to take a good bath."
Donovan entered on the bathroom and locked the door. He threw his shirt on the sink and turned on the tap of the bathtub. While waiting for the water fill it, he started to think, sitting on the tub border.
"This isn't right. We just have seven years... Father makes me sick. I hate him. If I only could fight against his fire power... I remember that time I saw a man that could stop a heart with his psychic powers. If I only had this power."
When the bathtub was full, he turned off the tap and took off all his clothes. He entered on the cool water and started to look around him in the bathroom. Everything looked so dark in that house. Even with the lights on, everything looked very dark.
"I also don't like this mansion. The energy here is too negative."
At the yard...
"YYYAAAAAHH!!"
Miette was aparently trying to improve her abilities with her staff on a tree. Her movements were very fast for a girl from her age and height.
"I'm not a failure. I'm not a failure," she kept repeating while striking the tree's trunk. Some tears were rolling down from her blue eyes. In fact, she was just trying to ease her anger on that old plant. That was her only way to make this without hurting anyone.
At the mansion's attic...
"What are we looking for?" Nadine asked to Kasen, while looking inside some old boxes.
"Something about our mother," he said from the other side of the room, checking an old chest.
"You never give up right? You never give up on trying to find something about our mom."
"I never give up because I know she's alive and she had to run away. But I want to know why, when and where she is."
"Probably dad already burned it all..." the girl said, looking down, losing her hope.
"No. He probably fogot something. We just need to keep on searching. I will never give up," Kasen said taking the things off the chest.
"OK, I'll never give up too. I'll help you!" she said looking inside the boxes again.
Behind the darkness of his helmet, Kasen gave a smile and mentally thanked his sister.
At Albin's bedroom...
Some music was flowing from a little turntable and the blond boy was sat on the floor of his bedroom.
"Good old KC and the Sunshine Band... It is the only thing that can make me more calm and forget my problems."
While the music was playing, Albin was trying to imagine how his life would be if he had been born in the 60s, with all that "Love and Peace" philosophy and the "Flower Power" thing. Everything would be so wonderful. At least, he tought that it would be great.
But now, everything he had was a pair of katanas and a father that liked to spank him and his siblings. That life was horrible.
Five years later...
"I sent you all to make an easy mission that was destroy those pathetic KND, and you all come home crying like babies! I can't believe that I trained you so much to receive this in exchange."
"Father," Albin said, bowing himself in front of his dad "Please, give us another chance."
"Another chance?"
"Yes. We will accept any order of you."
"Well, I was about to ask if you agree to enter on a little machine that I created. Maybe with this you will be able to defeat these kids. Do you accept?"
"We accept all," the Deligthfull Children said together.
"OK. Follow me my children," Father said, raising from his chair and walking out of the room, beeing followed by the five children.
At the KND tree house, it was already midnight and everyone was sleeping. Out of the nowhere, a bunch of men wearing black suits entered on the headquarters and caught all the KND easily, once that they were sleepy and were too surprised to react - plus, it was a day that the security system was broken. With guns pointed to them, they were told to dress up properly and chose a weapon. But just one weapon.
In just some minutes, all them were with their usual clothes and had choosen a weapon to take with them.
The men conducted all the KND to a black limousine and they all went. When Number One asked to a man where thay were going, he said that thay were going to Mr. Delightful's house to fight against their children. All the KND found it very strange. It wasn't the usual Delightful Children's attitude. Something was wrong. They usually would go and try to beat them with some kind of weird robot or plan, but never fight face to face with them.
Reaching the Delightful's house, each one have been conducted to a great room with wooden floor. Kuki and Hoagie were the most scared ones. Walabbe was nervous. Abby and Nigel were trying to act cool.
All them noticed that in the upper corners of the rooms, there were cameras watching them. And, on the other side of each room, a door. All them closed.
Then, all the doors opened suddenly and each of the Delightful Children were behind each door. They stepped inside the room and all the KND shivered. All them were grasping classical weapons like swords and staffs. The look in their eyes was more emotionless than usual and they all looked controled by something stronger than them.
From a far room, Father was watching everything by the cameras on the rooms. The evil smile on his face grew wide when he saw all the KND scared.
"Poor kids. They don't know that I'm the one who's controlling my children. They don't have a chance against them," Then he shouted, pressing a button "DESTROY THEM!"
Father voice echoed by all the rooms and all the Deligthfull Children, with their blue emotionless eyes made a positive nod with their heads and went to attack the KND.
In Walabbe's room, he was fighting against Donovan and his weapon was a long iron sword while the Aussie boy's weapon was a strange gun that shoot caramels.
"This isn't fair!" Wally tought while running from the brown haired boy "He has a enormous sword! He can cut me in two if he wants!"
Number Four turned and shoot the caramels into Donovan's direction, but, apparently, he felt nothing, once that he just stopped and, when the caramels ended, he just went after Walabbe with his sword again. When his gun ran out of ammo, Walabbe threw it on the floor and started to try to fight with his own hands.
He scaped from the first three swings of the iron weapon and, while Donovan was preparing the fourth swing, Number Four jumped and punched him on the face. But again, it looked useless, once that the boy just looked at him, still emotionless and went to attack him again like nothing happened.
"This boy is made of what? Steel?" Walabbe thought while trying to find an opportunity to attack again. But, all of sudden, Donovan, as fast as the wind, passed by him and made a deep cut on his right arm. The blood started to flow and Wally screamed as he put his hand on the wound. He looked back, at Donovan, and asked: "How you did this? You aren't human right?"
Donovan just looked at him and, staring at him with his emotionless eyes, he just said: "Destroy," Then, he passed his fingers by the blood on the sword and prepared himself to attack again.
"W-wait a sec..." But, again, very fast, the boy passed by him, now, cutting his left leg.
Another scream of pain and Walabbe kneeled on the floor.
"DEMON!" he shouted to the boy.
"Demon?" Donovan asked. And, turning to face the blond boy, he said: "Sorry. I don't have another option," For some seconds, Walabbe could swear that he saw a little bit of emotion in the tall boy's eyes, but it faded away very fast.
Walking towards the Aussie, he raised his sword and ran it through Walabbe's chest, making more blood flow and the boy scream again. The beautiful wood floor was now with a big puddle of scarlet blood where Walabbe was kneeled. He looked at Donovan and, he saw that the brown haired boy was with tears rolling down his eyes.
"S-Sorry..." He forced himself to say. He tried to hold his hand that was raising with the sword again, but it was useless, because his eyes became emotionless again and he prepared another blow with the sword.
But, when he went down with the sword, something stopped it. It was Walabbe's hand. He got courage to hold the sword with his hand, even knowing that his hand was going to be badly injured. More blood started to drip, now from his hand, and, with the surprise, Donovan stopped for some seconds. Walabbe just needed those seconds to try to do something.
With an last impulse, he rose and, letting go the sword, he jumped over the other boy, landing on his good leg. Then, with a fast move, he kicked the other boy's hand with his wounded leg and, with this, Donovan's hand loosened the sword and Walabbe ran to grab it. Bleeding from all his wounds, he was with the sword on his hand and, as fast as he could, he stabbed the sword into the boy's leg, but Donovan didn't scream.
"As I thought," The Aussie boy thought, kneeling on the floor, exhausted. "He's beeing controled by something. Nobody that is normal receives such a deep wound and don't scream. I bet that his father is behind all this."
On the other room, Hoagie was fighting against Miette. She was very good with her staff and the boy was already with some purple bruises on his skin, but nothing to serious. He was with a SPLANKER and she was with some wounds as well. It was a very equilibrated fight, but Miette was in a kind of advantage, because she could attack Hoagie from a little bit farther.
"You fight quite well for a girl," Hoagie said, dodging from some blows of the staff.
"I don't need your admiration, thank you," She said, trying to hit him in many ways.
"You eyes look strange. What happened to you?"
"Concentrate yourself in the fight."
"Ok, if you don't want to chat," Hoagie said, now close enough to "shoot" with the SPLANKER. It hit the girl face and she stepped back, but she didn't give a single signal of pain. He also saw that the girl was kind of hypnotized.
At the same time, Kuki was trying to dodge as fast as she could from Albin's katanas. She was with little cuts in her arms and legs, but they weren't even half serious as Walabbe's cuts. Beeing lightest and fastest, she was dodging from the blows very well and with a kind of "gun" made with a blender and with lemonade as "ammo" on her hand, she was going well.
"This isn't very nice!" she shouted at the blond boy and tried to shoot some lemonade at him. With a stroke of luck, she shoot the lemonade right on the boy's eyes, and he became blind for some time.
Swinging his sword everywhere, he shouted: "Where are you?" Suddenly, Kuki kicked him in the face making him fall on the floor. His swords fell on the floor and she grabed one of it and said: "Now, we are equal!"
Nigel, that was fighting against Nadine and her loyal bow, had already received an arrow on his arm and was trying to find a way to come closer to her and hit her, once that the ammo of his weapon was over.
"Don't run from me!" the girl ordered, trying to hit the bald boy one more time, but, once that he was running around all the room, she wasn't able to aim properly.
"I will run as much as I want," Number One said, just waiting for her arrows to finish, and then, he could have an advantage.
"This your destiny Nigel! Don't try to run from it!"
"Sorry, but I want a better destiny."
And, finally, Abigail was facing the helmeted boy and his impecable martial skills. Her gun was already without ammo too and she started to fight with her own hands. He was just a little bit faster than her but the thing that was getting in the way of some on the Abby's moves was the boy's helmet. And, when she tried to take it off, the boy made a fast move and threw her on the floor.
"Never, ever, take of my helmet," He said with some emotion on his eyes that suddenly disappeared like what had happened to Donovan.
"You sure have a lot of problems," Abby said raising from the floor and attacking again.
And the fights continued, for a long time. Longer than the Delightful Children or the KND were expecting.
