Chapter 4: Stopping Father

As the ship that was carrying Sector V, Mandy and Grim landed not far from the Delightful Children's mansion, Number 1 got out of the ship with his weapon readied for action along with the rest of Sector V. They were then closely followed by Mandy and Grim.

"So what's the big plan to get Grim's scythe back?" asked Mandy to Number 1.

"We are going to use Number 4's plan" replied Number 1, "we kick their butts until they return his scythe to us."

"Watching you kids kicking the behinds of these Delightful Children shall be all the enjoyment I need" said Grim as he smiled.

"Well" said Number 5, "let's just hope you don't get involved. You are pretty weak without your scythe."

"And who knows if Father has already activated its powers" added Number 2.

As Sector V, Grim and Mandy began to sneak toward the mansion, Father was still studying the Reaper's scythe which he was holding in his hand. He was so excited that he would finally achieve the power to finally destroy the Kids Next Door. Father then concentrated all of his intention as he held the scythe closer to him and a strange glow of energy went around the scythe.

"Yes" said Father as he made an evil smile, "it's working. It's finally working!"

"Now what do you propose to do with the Reaper's scythe, Father?" asked the Delightful Children.

"I'm going to first turn all of my ice cream men, into super ice cream men!" proclaimed Father.

He then pressed the button on his desk which ordered several ice cream men to come into the room. They were all shocked to see Father holding the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hands, and it was glowing all with the power Father needed. Father aimed the scythe at the ice cream men, a strange beam came out of the scythe, hitting the ice cream men. The ice cream men could feel the power of the scythe and were getting stronger. While Father was continuing to charge the scythe's power to give his ice cream men to defeat the Kids Next Door, Sector V along with Grim and Mandy were closing in on the mansion. As Number 3 took a peak through the window, she was shocked to see Father charging up his henchmen with the Reaper's scythe.

"What are they doing?" asked Grim as he tried to get a closer look.

"Father is using his scythe to make his men look stronger" said Number 3.

"Here's something that'll get their attention" said Number 4 as he took out what appeared to be some type of smoke grenade made by two-by-four technology.

The two-by-four smoke grenade crashed through the window and exploded, creating smoke everywhere and disrupting Father charging his henchmen with the Reaper's scythe. Then Sector V launched into battle and began firing their weapons at Father, the Delightful Children and their henchmen. Father then got angry and lid up his flames and cleared the smoke.

"That's it!" shouted Father, "I finally have the power to destroy the Kids Next Door and to establish a new world order with this baby. And you Sector V of the Kids Next Door will not disrupt my plans!"

Father then began to aim the scythe at Sector V and began to fire some beams from the scythe. Sector V dodged the beams, and used a desk as cover.

"So what's the big plan?" asked Mandy to Number 1.

"We need someone to retrieve the Reaper's scythe" replied Number 1.

"I hate to break it to you" said Grim, "but no body is going to get past Father as long as he's able to wield the powers of my scythe."

"There's got to be another way around this" said Number 2 who was pinned down by the scythe's beams.

"You just leave everything to me" said Mandy, "I have dealt with creeps who took Grim's scythe before. So leave Father to me, got that?"

"You don't know what Father is capable of" said Number 5.

"Believe me" said Mandy, "I know evil when I see it."

As Sector V continued to be pinned down, Mandy walked out of the area and made her way toward Father. Father wanted to aim the scythe at Mandy and fire at her, but for some strange reason, Father was unable to do so. Something was creating fear within Father as he struggled to maintain control of the scythe.

"You know Father" said Mandy, "there is a reason I chose Number 666 when I used Grim to get me into the Kids Next Door."

"You, you can't be that evil" said Father as sweat ran down his forehead.

"Believe me" said Mandy, "I know evil."

"You don't know how powerful I am now with the scythe" said Father.

"Give it to me or else!" commanded Mandy as she gave an evil look at Father, "When you steal from Grim, you steal from me!"

Father continued to hesitate to use the scythe on Mandy. Mandy was then fed up and just took the scythe away from Father's hands. She then uses the scythe to power down Father's henchmen back to their normal selves. Then she walks toward Grim and Sector V.

"Wow" said Number 4 with an astonished look on his face, "she's bad."

"You have no idea" added Grim, "I have seen worse from her."

"I was so close" cried Father as tears developed in his eyes, "I had the power of the universe within my grasp! I thought Sector V of the Kids Next Door was bad, but she is worse!"

"Come on bonehead" said Mandy to Grim, "let's get out of this organization ASAP. Here's your scythe back."

"Oh thank you Mandy" said Grim as he held his scythe to his face.

"Well" said Number 1, "at least Father won't try to use the scythe's power to take over the world. Let's go home team."

After Mandy used Grim's scythe to get Mandy and Billy out of the Kids Next Door, they were finally home watching television.

"I can't help but wonder whatever happen to Billy" said Grim.

"Oh well" said Mandy.

Back in the dungeon in the Delightful Children's mansion, Billy was still in prison.

"I want some of that ice cream you ice cream men were promising me!" shouted Billy, "And when are Grim and Mandy going to come and get me!"
