Memories

Disclaimer: I don't own Codename: KND.

Prologue

This was a sad day. Hoagie Gilligan waited to be decommissioned like the others who had turned thirteen. Nigel Uno a.k.a. #1; their leader, had been decommissioned three months before and was now almost behaving like a regular teen. Almost as in unlike most teens he didn't make fun of children and also it was known that he refused to work for Father and that made Hoagie feel proud of Nigel that he (Nigel) could defy being like most teens despite having no memories of being apart of the KND.

"Hoagie Gilligan, agent #2," Abigail Lincoln a.k.a. #5 said over the intercom, "please enter the decommissioning room," she said formally.

Abby. #322 had to leave after we had all turned eleven but Nigel made Abby become the next leader of the KND instead of himself. It must've been hard for her to allow Nigel to be decommissioned after he was the one that allowed her to have the position of leader of the entire KND worldwide in the first place. But #5 did her job and now she has to do it again despite friendship. But this time the decommissioned agent was me. (#2's thoughts)

Hoagie was escorted to the decommissioning room by #3 who ironically was given the position of Decommissioning Officer when #86 had to choose a replacement nearly a year and a half ago. He smiled at #3 kindly and she smiled back.

"Goodbye," #3 whispered before giving him a shove into the Decommissioning Room. Hoagie strapped himself into his seat and waited.

"Let the decommissioning begin!" #3 cried loudly and suddenly Hoagie felt for the second (on a past KND episode #2-5 were wrongfully captured for decommissioning); and very likely final, time the plunger part of the machine rest upon his face. Then he felt the great pull of it as the plunger along with the rest of the machine started to suck out his memories of the KND like it did last time. Every last one of them.

When the decommissioning was over Hoagie along with four other teens that were in the room with him were removed from the machine. Hoagie felt a bit whoozy. He opened his eyes to see an Asian girl in a green sweatshirt who looked a little over twelve years old. He noticed also that she wore a green helmet with a #3 on it.

"#3?" Hoagie started to whisper, his brain whirring as he tried to recall where he had heard that number being addressed to someone before, "AHHHH!" he cried as he suddenly felt the ground under him give way.

Next thing he knew he was in a space pod and the pod immediately rushed him along with the other teens to earth.

Meanwhile at the Moon Base #3 sighed and turned to call in the next batch of teens.

WARNING! WARING! MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION!

#3 hurried to the machine wondering what was wrong.

"What's going on?" #5 demanded as she hurried into the Decommissioning Room, "why's the machine crying 'warning' 'malfunction' and making that LOUD alarm noise!"

"The computer's bringing up an analysis," #3 responded, "'Francine ex-agent #32 fully decommissioned, Remus ex-agent #13 fully decommissioned, Tricia ex-agent #257 fully decommissioned, Ian ex-agent #36 totally decommissioned, Hoagie ex-agent #2 decommissioning incomplete!'" she started formally but shrieked when she neared the end of Hoagie's stats, "#5 the computer says that his memory erasing is incomplete!" she cried in despair, "what are we going to do?" she asked in a panic.

"Bring him back and complete the memory erase," #5 responded formally, "we CAN'T have a TEENAGER walking around with memories of the KND," she told #3, "remember Chad?"

#3 immediately nodded.

"I want to take him," #3 said, "I'll bring back up," she added.

"Then take #4," #5 said dismissively, "but bring back Hoagie," she added seriously then left the room.

(After the Pods hit Earth)

Hoagie quickly climbed out rubbing his head. Suddenly the pod closed and flew off into the sky.

"What the…?" Hoagie asked but was interrupted when he noticed another Pod across from his house and a red haired girl was lightly removed from it when part of the pod extended and gently rested her on the ground. Right after doing that the pod closed up and flew away. Then the girl stirred.

Where have I seen that girl before? I remember something… An image of her helping me to pull something along with several other preteens out of the mud. I can't see what we're pulling but it must be heavy. I can't remember anything else except that her name starts with an F. Fay, Fran, Ferenze? Frany, France, Francine, Fanny… Francine! That's it! (Hoagie's thoughts)

"Francine!" Hoagie cried from across the road.

"Gilligan?" Francine asked recognizing the boy shouting at her as she rubbed her head.

"Are you okay?" Hoagie asked loudly.

"I don't know," Francine responded, "but how do you know my name?" she asked, "my family only moved here three days ago and I only heard someone call to someone who looked like your father 'Mr. Gilligan,'" she told him, "I don't even know your first name," she added.

"It's Hoagie," Hoagie told Francine as he walked across to her, "and something weird is going on," he added more seriously.

"Besides my major headache?" Francine asked.

Suddenly a space pod fell out of the sky and landed in front of Hoagie's house with a crash. Without a word Hoagie grabbed Francine's hand and rushed into her house. He slammed the door shut and closed every bolt that he could as soon as they were indoors.

"What's going …!" Francine started to demand angrily but Hoagie slapped his hand over her mouth and directed her to the nearest front window.

They both peeked out to see a large crater in front of Hoagie's house. Suddenly two persons crawled out of it. Hoagie didn't make much of them until he noticed something. Both boy and girl were armed and looked very fierce.

"Where is that cruddy teenager!" the blonde-haired boy cried angrily as he spun around with his weapon looking as if he'd shoot the first thing that moved, "come out Hoagie and take your medicine!"

Hoagie gasped and looked at Francine fearfully. He could see that Francine looked worried but that she was also staring at the Asian beside the blonde boy very closely.

"Isn't that Kuki from the Animal Rights Organization for pre-teens?" Francine asked suddenly, "remember those lovey dovey commercials so sweet they could give tooth decay?" she asked Hoagie.

"Yeah," Hoagie said as he looked at Kuki more closely, "and I think her last name's Sanban," he added.

"It is," Francine responded, "what did you do to anger them?" she asked him suddenly, "what do they want?" she asked suspiciously.

"If I knew I'd give them," Hoagie responded, "they look to be a bit over twelve and a half," he continued, "but they look mean enough to take down an adult," he observed.

"Especially that blonde one," Francine observed, "he looks VERY violent," she said with open concern, "I'm just glad that they're not looking for me," she added with relief.

"Doesn't Francine live around here now?" Kuki asked suddenly and Francine paled, "Francine Reynolds," she continued and Francine squeaked, "do you know where she lives #4?"

"No!" #4 snapped, "let's check around the back of the house then knock," he suggested.

"What if no one answers?" Kuki asked curiously.

"Then we knock down that door!" #4 cried, "and if he's not in there we'll call the Moon Base and find out that where that ex-agent #32 lives," he stated, "what did you say her name was again #3?" he asked.

"Francine Reynolds," #3 responded, "but can we really hurt #2?" she asked in a guilty voice.

"He's Hoagie the teenager now," #4 said seriously, "the #2 we knew is dead to us now," he added.

#2? #32? Ex-agents. What the hell is going on? What the hell were we apart of? Are Francine and I really ex-agents from some secret organization? But if we were why were our memories erased? Wait? They mentioned a Moon Base. Francine and I were sent down in space pods! But a base on the moon? Wait a minute. I remember first awakening in a room and that Kuki girl was there! Also there were others near me but they were all unconscious. Francine was one of them, I remember! But why were we removed? The organization seems to practically be run by…. That's it! Kids run the organization! Wait a minute! What am I thinking! Have I lost my marbles! (Hoagie's thoughts)

Hoagie #2. Me #32? Where have these crazy kids come from? Moon base! What kind of Star Wars crap is that! I have no idea what's going on here and I don't like it. Those stupid kids better go back in their pod and fly… Wait a second! Where the hell does a bunch o' kids get a space pod from? Especially one that actually flies and falls from the sky? I am calling the police! (Francine's thoughts)

Francine rose to her feet and hurried to the phone.

"What are you doing?" Hoagie hissed at her as she dialled 911.

"911?" Francine asked after someone answered, "I have an emergency," she revealed then felt stupid about telling the obvious, "two kids are outside my friends' door and they look dangerous," she told the person on the other line, "they're armed," she added when the person seemed unconvinced of any danger, "and they mentioned coming after me if they don't find my friend."

"Where is your friend Mam?" the emergency operator asked.

"He's here with me at my house," Francine stated, "but we're right across the road and I fear that they'll find out where I live after they contact their Moon Base," she added.

"Moon Base!" the emergency operator cried incredulously, "what kind of call is this!" she demanded.

"They came here in a space pod and left a giant crater in front of my friend's house and I…" Francine started to continue.

"Listen here!" the emergency operator exploded, "this is a line for emergencies!" she cried, "and one can be happening right now as you feed me this cock and bull sto…!"

"They're KND!" Hoagie cried to the emergency operator after he grabbed the phone from Francine, "I just remembered," he continued, "I'm not sure what it stands for but.." he said honestly.

"KND!" the emergency operator cried in horror, "those children are out of control and very violent!" she shouted, "especially to adults and tee…" she continued but stopped, "exactly how old are you two?' she asked suddenly.

"Pretty much thirteen," Hoagie responded, "why is there a problem?" he asked curiously.

"You two lock up that house and hide in an attic, upstairs room, or basement and barricade yourselves in until help arrives," the emergency operator instructed, "these group of hooligans are known to attack first and not apologize later," she revealed, "they're the most hated organization among teens and adults and they want to take over the world and make adults and teens their slaves," she told Hoagie who gasped, "at least that's what Father says," she added.

"Father?" Hoagie asked.

"A very respectable man," the emergency operator said with admiration, "rich too," she added, "he's very polite and raised HIS children to be respectful to their elders unlike those KND brats outside," she said with great detest, "you have done your neighbourhood a fine service," she told him, "now hide yourselves until the authorities come for those hooligans and lock them up!" she cried, "after you give me your address," she then added sheepishly and Hoagie gave her both his and Francine's addresses, "thank you," she said, "now hide yourselves," she instructed.

"Yes Miss," Hoagie responded, "goodbye," he said and hung up.

"Hoagie" Hoagie heard #4 cry angrily, "I know you can hear me!" he shrieked; "open up or we'll MAKE an entrance!" he threatened.

Oh my goodness they are violent! I better get Francine and hide! (Hoagie's thoughts)

"The Operator told me that we must hide until the authorities come," Hoagie told an already fearful Francine, "where do you think is safest?" he asked.

"The secret trap door," Francine said suddenly, "we can hide in the basement and if any of them get in we can exit through the secret trap door which leads to the laundry room and out the door into the back room which would lead to the yard," she stated, "we should have enough time to make a quick get away," she said firmly.

"No time to disagree," Hoagie responded, "let's go," he said and they headed towards the basement door to enter.

But just then they heard a crash. They both hurried to the window to see Hoagie's house door fall to the ground and the two agents run inside. With faces filled with fear and horror they hurried into the basement and barricaded themselves inside it.

Done.
