Chapter 7: The Delightful Children's Mistake
When the ship that was carrying Sector V and the Titans was being pulled into the space station, General Immortal called in on the Delightful Children through his communicator.
"This better be good" said the Delightful Children, "we're pulling in Sector V and the Titans as we speak."
"I do not believe that is such a wise idea" said General Immortal, "you see it would be unwise to invite an enemy in unless if you are prepared to deal with them."
"We are quite well aware of that" said the Delightful Children, "nothing can absolutely go wrong with this. We promise."
"Your promise better hold out" said General Immortal, "if the Titans and their allies manage to escape and leave your space station in ruins, then you have failed to keep your promise."
"We don't need someone as old as you telling us what to do" said the Delightful Children, "we do it our way! And we always have done it our way!"
"But what about the Brain's ultimate plan?" asked General Immortal.
"Forget the Brain!" replied the Delightful Children, "We don't need to listen to a pink mush to tell us what to do!"
"This is most serious" said General Immortal as he was preparing to notify both the Brain and Father.
As General Immortal was about to call to notify the Brain, the ship carrying Sector V and the Titans was pulled in by the tracker beam and several robotic soldiers were ready to take Sector V and the Titans captive. The ship lands right in the hangar bay and as some of the robotic soldiers were approaching the ship, an arrow from the entrance of the ship destroys one of the robotic soldiers and Sector V led by Number 1 leaps out and began firing at the robotic soldiers. The Titans went to action and began to destroy the robotic soldiers.
"What's going on down there?" asked the Delightful Children as they were in their secret room on the space station.
The Titans continued their path toward the tracker beam's control center.
"Menos, Minos" said Robin, "see if you can disable the tracker beam."
"You got it" said Menos.
Menos and Minos went with great speed toward the area where the tracker beam was located. They quickly then disabled the controls of the tracker beam and raced back, knocking several robotic soldiers on their way. The other Titans were busy fighting off the robotic soldiers and were heading back toward the ship, while Sector V was getting ready to start up the ship.
"Come on" said Number 2 to the group of Titans, "we have to get off this ship now."
"That's a pretty good idea" said Cyborg as he blasted a robotic soldier with his laser cannon, "this place is beginning to fall apart."
"Come on" said Robin, "let's get out of here."
The rest of the Titans then got onto the ship and the ship took off and heads toward the Kids Next Door moon base. Meanwhile, the Brain and Father were quite upset of the news General Immortal had given about the Delightful Children and their fatal mistake.
"This is always like them" said Father as he slammed his fist on his table, "those incompetent children of mine are of no use."
"I agree" said the Brain, "the Delightful Children were quite rude in mentioning that I was a pile of pink mush. I am most displeased in their attitude toward our authority."
"That's just like it with them" said Father, "it's always doing it their way and not anybody else's way."
"I have noticed" said the Brain, "if the Delightful Children were smart enough, they wouldn't have allowed the Titans or Sector V of the Kids Next Door to escape or make it so easy to get out alive."
"Looks like I'll have to ground the Delightful Children for at least several months" said Father as he picked up his communicator.
"Wise decision" said the Brain.
"But what about the attack on the moon base?" asked Mala to the Brain.
"The attack on the moon base will go as scheduled" replied the Brain, "I have several of my battleships will be launched shortly. Perhaps acquiring Chad and Cree as the leadership of the fleet should prove to them to be more competent than the Delightful Children."
"Wise decision" said Mala as he was leaving the scene.
Meanwhile, back on the ship that was carrying Sector V and the Titans, everybody on the ship was giving each other a pat on the back for escaping the Delightful Children.
"Man" said Number 4, "I can't believe how easy that was. Those Delightful Dorks must be slipping badly."
"I would say their space station has slipped into ruins" said Number 2 as he attempted to make a pun, "get it. Slipped? Ruins?"
"That was even worse than any of the jokes made by Beast Boy" said Raven.
"Yea" said Number 5, "I bet Beast Boy's jokes have more entertainment than your lame puns."
"Knock off" said Number 1, "we're almost there."
"I'll get the communications to the moon base right now" said Aqualad as he was helping Number 2 getting the communications on-line.
Suddenly an image of Number 86 popped up on the computer screen.
"This better be important" said Number 86, "say who are those other teenagers with you? Are they apart of Father's organization?"
"No" replied Speedy, "we're Titans East."
"Hmm, I do recall Sector V allying with the Teen Titans" said Number 86, "but since you are friends of the original Titans, I guess you mean no harm. But we're still going to do the security screening on you Titans East, no acceptions. Number 86 out."
The ship then finally made its way to the moon base and landed in the hangar bay. Number 86 was there with her squad ready to greet Sector V and the Titans. As Sector V got out, Number 86 and Number 1 walked together along with Robin.
"Now what's this I hear about of an allege attack on the Kids Next Door moon base?" asked Number 86.
"We have already had our tree house been destroyed by the organization known as the Brotherhood of Evil" said Number 1, "and we have heard they have allied themselves with Father."
"Hmm" said Number 86, "that might explain why there have been no major problems with our enemies recently."
"Then we need to prepare to fight them this time around" said Robin.
"Then get going and guide our defense forces already!" shouted Number 86 right up on Robin's face.
