Chapter 2: Bringing the Scythe on a Mission
As Billy was getting ready to go on a mission with Number 5 and 4, he walked into Mandy's room where Grim was.
"What do you want Billy?" asked Grim as he was relaxing, "I'm busy."
"Can I borrow your scythe for this mission?" asked Billy.
"No" replied Grim, "you know what happens when you use my scythe for your stupid reasons."
"Please Grim" said Billy, "I don't have a weapon."
"Why on Earth do you need a weapon?" asked Grim, "I'm probably sure Sector V can provide you with one."
"But they said I have to make my own weapon" replied Billy, "and I don't know what to do with a piece of cruddy wood other than to hit people with it!"
"The answer is still no" said Grim, "you can't have my scythe and that's final!"
"Hey stupid" said Mandy as she came into her room, "what the heck are you doing here? This is mine room."
"I just came here to borrow Grim's scythe" said Billy.
"You're not going to use it on a mission are you?" asked Mandy.
"Please Mandy" replied Billy as he got on his knees and begged to her, "tell Grim that I can borrow his scythe on this mission. I promise to bring it back!"
"Fine" said Mandy as she walked toward Grim, "if it will get you out of my room."
"What is it now?" asked Grim to Mandy as she approached him.
"I would like for you to give your scythe to Billy so he can leave my room and never come back" replied Mandy.
"But even you know how often Billy always hands over my scythe to the wrong people" said Grim, "why do you want me to do it?"
"Because I ordered you to do it and I own you!" said Mandy.
"Fine" said Grim as he got up and handed Billy his scythe, "but don't say I warned you."
"Thanks Grim" said Billy as he was leaving the room to meet with Number 5 and 4.
A few minutes later, Billy met up with Number 5 and 4.
"What took you so long?" asked Number 5.
"Yea" replied Number 4, "I bet this Number Negative Zero is so stupid—"
"He's more stupider than you to make you look like a genius?" asked Number 5.
"Whatever" said Number 4, "let's just get this mission over with."
"So what's the mission?" asked Billy.
"We have received report that Grandma Stuffins and Nightbrace have teamed up to loot the local donut store" said Number 5, "and we have been ordered to stop them at whatever it takes."
As the three KND operatives got onto the ship, they took off and went to the donut shop that was being taken over by Nightbrace and Grandma Stuffins henchmen.
"So how do we get pass them?" asked Number 4 as he readied his weapon.
"I know" replied Billy as he got out Grim's scythe.
"Say, is he allowed to use such a dangerous weapon?" asked Number 4 to Number 5.
"I'm not sure" replied Number 5, "but it might be the only chance we have against Stuffins and Nicghtbrace's henchmen."
"Let me handle this" said Billy as he took out Grim's scythe.
Billy aimed the scythe at the henchmen that were coming at them in numerous numbers. The energy of the scythe from its blade zapped at the henchmen that were coming at them. Nearly all of the henchmen fell to the scythe and the three operatives advanced where Nightbrace and Grandma Stuffins were.
"So you managed to defeat our henchmen" said Nightbrace.
"And what is that shiny new weapon you have there?" asked Grandma Stuffins.
"It's the Grim Reaper's scythe!" replied Billy.
"They have brought the Reaper's scythe" said Nightbrace on his communicator, "send her in to grab it."
"Alright" said Number 4 as he readied his weapon, "you two are going down."
As Number 4 was about to take on both Nightbrace and Grandma Stuffins, Cree busted into the donut store and her aim was to grab the Grim Reaper's scythe. Number 5 suddenly knew that they were not just facing two foes, but three.
"Hand over the scythe" said Cree as she aimed her weapon at Billy.
"Why?" asked Billy.
"Because I asked you to" replied Cree.
As Cree was about to fire her weapon at Billy, Number 5 jumped in and kicked Cree down to the ground. Cree got up and began to fight with Number 5 while Number 4 was busy with Grandma Stuffins and Nightbrace. Cree managed to knock out Number 5 and move toward Billy.
"Now hand me the scythe!" commanded Cree.
"You have funny armor" said Billy.
"Look" said Cree, "I am suppose to do my job, and I demand that you give me that scythe or else!"
"Or else what?" asked Billy.
"Or else I'll use lethal force against you!" replied Cree, "And if you don't want to get your butt kicked by me, I suggest you hand the scythe over so that I can give it to Father!"
"Who is this Father?" asked Billy with a clueless look on his face.
"He's my boss!" replied Cree.
"Can I meet him?" asked Billy.
"No you can't!" replied Cree in an angry voice as she was getting frustrated with Billy, "What's your number kid?"
"Negative Zero" replied Billy.
"What kind of a dumb number is that?" asked Cree.
"Can I come to meet with this Father you speak of?" asked Billy as he got off subject with Cree.
"No you can't, can't, can't!" shouted Cree.
"Please!" begged Billy.
Suddenly Cree had an idea that the only way to get the scythe to Father was to give in to Billy's demands.
"Sure kid" said Cree as she picked up Billy and placed him on her back and took the scythe from his hand, "let's go."
As the battle was over, Number 4 had succeeded to defeat Nightbrace and Grandma Stuffins. Number 5 woke up and recovered from the attack to only notice that her sister-Cree was gone along with Billy.
"Where's Number Negative Zero?" asked Number 4 as he dusted himself off from the fight he had with the two villains who were unconscious on the floor.
"Cree must have took him" replied Number 5, "and the Grim Reaper's scythe is gone too!"
"I can't believe how stupid that Number Negative Zero really is" said Number 4.
"We have to inform Number 1 about this" said Number 5 as she got out her communicator.
Back at the tree house, Number 1 was outraged that the Grim Reaper's scythe was not only brought on a mission, but was stolen by Cree as well.
"I can't believe you didn't question Number Negative Zero's intelligence on bringing the scythe on a mission" said Number 1 on his communicator.
"Well I don't think the Grim Reaper is going to like this" said Number 5 on the other line.
"Wouldn't like what?" asked Grim as he came into the room, "Did Billy lose the scythe on a mission?"
"Worse" replied Number 1, "the scythe was stolen and Billy was kidnapped by Cree."
"I knew something like this would happen" said Grim, "Billy is always handing over my scythe to people who shouldn't have their hands on it."
"Then it appears the only way to get your scythe back and rescue Billy is to go into the Delightful Children's mansion and retrieve both of them" said Number 1.
"Do we have to?" asked Grim, "Rescue Billy?"
"With your scythe in Father's hands" replied Number 1, "I wouldn't like to see that type of power in his grip. He could very well use it to destroy the Kids Next Door and take over the world."
