Hey, folks! Well, I can't really think of anything to say except…. enjoy Chapter 2 (or one, if you didn't count the Prologue).

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, Kids Next Door, Dragon Ball Z, Halo, or Star Wars

Kids Next Door Sector V Treehouse – 6:00 p.m.

It had been an average (as in boring) day so far. Numbuh 1 was going over mission specs in attempts to find flaws in their enemies' attack plans. Numbuh 2 was reading comics, as usual. Numbuh 3 was sitting in her own little world, no doubt daydreaming about Rainbow Monkyes… or Numbuh 4, or was currently playing Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi on his PS2. Numbuh 5 was sitting quietly, debating in her head whether to play Halo 2 or Star Wars Battlefront on her X-Box. Suddenly, the "Bad-Guy-Attacking" alarm went off.

"Numbuh 2, status report!" Numbuh 1 shouted. In a flash, #2 was at the computer console, frantically typing in buttons. "Well? Who is it this time?" Numbuh 1 asked. "I can't tell," replied Numbuh 2, "the scanners can't get a positive I.D., but power level sensors are really going off. It's one of the big, bad ones". "All right, then. Kids Next Door… BATTLE STATIONS!"

20 minutes later, they hopped out of their dropship (I forgot the name), only to see a charred wasteland. Fortunately, there hadn't been any houses nearby, so whoever – or whatever – had done this had not killed anyone or destroyed any homes. The being responsible for all of this was standing right there waiting for them. "Hello, Kids Next Door" he said in an almost-deceptively calm voice.

The Kids Next Door were greeted with the sight of the dark, fiery figure of a demonic being known simply as "Father". Now they understood why the power sensors had nearly overloaded. "All right, troops! Ice guns out!" ordered Numbuh 1, and the five pre-heroes each pulled out a large, light-blue rifle-like weapon, aiming directly at Father.

"Fire!" shouted Numbuh 1, as they all let loose blasts of super-chilled energy. However, they were intercepted by several fireballs, but not ones from Father. "What the?" exclaimed Numbuh 4, as they all looked toward the dark corridor nearby from where the fireballs had came. "Ah, yes, I almost forgot" said Father. "Children, meet my new ally".

It was then that Slade stepped out of the shadows. "Hello, Kids Next Door" he said in his usually soft yet scary tone. "So," said Father, "Have any of you ever heard of Slade before?" "Of course I have," said Numbuh 1 with a scowl. "I don't know too much, but I do know that he's one of the most powerful and intelligent villains on the entire planet. He's killed hundreds, maybe thousand of innocents, and recently he came close to taking over the entire west coast of the US, until a group of unknown heroes rose up and stopped him".

"Yes," said Slade, "And since they aren't here, it should be much easier for my friend and I to conquer this area, and eventually the entire planet!" "Spoken like a true evil super-genius, Mr. Wilson" said Father. "It doesn't matter how many of you there are," said Numbuh 1, "We'll stop you, Wigglest-" "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" shouted Father, flaring up. "I was so SICK of being called that, I legally changed my last name to 'Winstein', so there!" "What was that about?" asked Slade. "It's… nothing" replied Father. "Now, where were we? Oh, yes!"

With that, both of them began charging up fireballs. Then, they let them loose, firing them at the Kids Next Door, who were too scared to do anything and felt certain of their doom… until a wall of dark energy appeared out of nowhere, blocking the blast.

Slade's visible eye widened, and he exclaimed angrily "No, they can't be here. This can't be true!" "It is" said an unknown voice.

Cliffhanger! Just so you know, the voice was R- (gets cut off by tranquilizer dart. Wakes up 30 seconds later) Ow, my head. What was I on about? Oh, well. Please read and review!

Did anyone else notice in Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G. the blatant rip-off of Imperial AT-ATs and CIS Droidekas?
