Chapter 19: The Final Battle, Part 2

Numbuh 1 tore across the front lawn of what was Father's mansion, leading the rest. He ran over to Numbuh 86, who was busy ushering everyone out of a shuttle pod.

"Report!" He said. "Everything getting set up?"

"Yes...but...why exactly are we here? You were a little vague with the details."

"You're never going to believe us," Numbuh 5 said, "But the Delightful Children are acting against their will, and one of them came to us for help, and now we're in big trouble, Father's trying to kill us, and...well...you get the idea."

Numbuh 86 blinked. "I think I get you..." she said.

"Good," Numbuh 1 said, barely pausing to breathe. "Now, set up all of the stuff you brought. And QUICK! I don't think Amber can take any more."

"Who's Amber?"

"I...I'll explain later."

Cree sat in her room, legs propped up on her TV, displaying '100 percent Total Teen'music videos. She hoped that new Click Five one would come on. It was pretty good.

Hey- she hadn't seen Abby in a while. Wonder where she is. Probably with that dumb club. Wonder what they're doing.

She changed the channel. Teen Shopping...Teen Shows...this set of stations set up by the Sophmore Squad rocked. Teen News...

"Hey, stop that clicker! We, like, have a totally awesome announcement!"

Cree's thumb stopped.

"Uhh...reports are totally coming in that all the KND in like, the world are all on Father's lawn! Here are some grabs, yo!" The picture on Teen News snapped to all of the KND looking up in awe. It then changed to Father, fighting a very beat-up girl. His hand was clenched around her throat, and she struggled for breath. Her black eyes were full of hurt. Her bow was unmistakeable...

"That Delightful kid..." Cree breathed. She dropped the remote. She sat stairing for a minute...and then was out of the door in five seconds.

"Father...stop..."

"No. I'll never stop." Father threw Amber down, her blood streaking after her. "At least, not until you learn propler RESPECT!" He grabbed her again, and threw her down. This time he didn't catch her. And she didn't pull herself up.

On the ground, all of the KND watched in mortification as she fell from the sky. Two MedLab ops held a strecher beneath her, which shefell on. They tried to treat her wounds, but she refused their help. "I'm fine!" she kept shouting, blood streaming down her face as she did so.

"No, you're not!" Numbuh3 kept insisting. "You have to get your strength back!"

"I can fight Father with the strength I have," Amber said. With confidence, she flew back up.

Father was among the clouds, filing his nails. "What took you so long?" he said. "The Kids Next Door didn't do a good job of mopping up, I seeeEEYAAGG!" Amber had grabbed him in a neck hold, and was ushering him to the ground.

"What the-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Amber didn't answer.

"OKAY!" he shouted about 15 feet from the ground, breaking free. "You are going to pay, Amber! I'm going to enjoy this!" He mustered up every last speck of his power into his hand. He pinned Amber to the ground withhis foot.A fireball formed so large, it badly burned the skin of two operatives standing nearby. All of the weapons that the KND were firing at Father this entire time were useless. With amighty heave, he hurled it straight at Amber's head.

Panic filled the eyes of everyone around. This could be her final moment, one who had fought so tirelessly just to gain something she and her siblings had always wanted- freedom. Everyone couldn't help feeling sadness. Even Father, who shook it off immediately.

Thinking fast, Amber...

Gasp! What a cliffhanger! Will Amber survive? Will the world's kids surrender their free will?

Well, you'll find out in the end. Or two. Or three.

What does this mean? Well, I came up with 3 endings for this story. I couldn't decide which to use, so I'm going to show all of them to you! They are the Happy, Sad, and Neutral endings, and will be displayed in that order. Each will spawn its own sequel.

But a warning- Amber 'dies' in at least one of the endings!
