Chapter 31: Fresh Horror After Halloween (Part 2)


[Sector V, Earth, KND Universe [R-363]]

If there was one thing Numbuh 1 had in his deck was a reasonable amount of paranoia would everything. Many thought he was overdoing it, but…he usually was justified in being so. So, when a new teenager moved into town three months ago, he had his eye on Fenix LaNico.

"Are you still trying to spy on the new guy?" Numbuh 4 said as Numbuh 1 was looking with binoculars as Fenix jogged through the neighborhood.

"There's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. No teenager is capable of being nice." Numbuh 1 said speaking of 'nice' and 'teenager' of being a foreign concept.

Numbuh 5 was tempted to bring up the Teen Spies, but wisely kept her mouth shut. Fenix did spark her curiosity, but for another reason. Fenix wound up cutting a wedge in Maurice and Cree's farce of a relationship. Honestly, she was glad her older sister ended her relationship with Maurice. Fenix was all right to Numbuh 5 in her book, but there was something familiar about him.

As she sat in thought, Numbuh 3 arrived at the treehouse all smiles and excited waving an invitation around.

"Guys, Numbuh 12.5 is holding a tropical getaway party on a private island and we're invited to come with." She said excitedly. "It's weird though, she's always so pale."

"A weekend away from the ice and snow? Sign me up." Numbuh 2 said excitedly.

Despite Numbuh 1's paranoia, he trusted 12.5 rather completely despite only coming aboard to the KND 3 months ago.

Over at the Love Burger, Cree was waiting for said boyfriend. One thing that did make Fenix stand out was his height. Despite nearing seventeen, he towered over most people his age at six foot four. As he entered the restaurant, Cree took the time to eye him up. His lightly tanned skin, his rust red hair with one pink bang in the front, and his orange eyes. He had seemingly unintentionally charmed his way in. Unlike Maurice, she did not make an effort to recruit him into the Teen Ninjas…she liked a bit of normalcy. He came up taking off his puffy jacket and joined Cree at the table.

"Hey." Fenix said pecking her cheek. "Sorry, I'm late. I had to pull assistant duty at the the senior duty. Ugh, that lazy cafeteria worker can't cook a damn…so I had to do it. Why he thinks giving old people junk food for every lunch, I can't say."

"Well, I hope you can take some time off for this weekend. Stacey's holding a party for the cheerleading squad, the rockers, and the football team on her parent's private island. It's going to be just the lot on a tropical paradise for a weekend." Cree said teasingly. "I've been dying to get a break and get out of the cold."

"I'll be happy to come along. Hopefully, nothing comes up" Fenix said innocently.

"Well, nothing's going to ruin this…" Cree mused.

"You and me on that bea-." Fenix said flirtily lifting her chin before his phone rang. "Oh, let me…"

Fenix got out his flip phone and answered it only to sigh in disbelief before hanging up.

"It's the Center again. And apparently, Robin put me on care duty for three of the old people…all weekend." Fenix said sourly.

"He can't be serious!" Cree snapped.

"Trust me, if I don't…he'll have one of his dumbasses look after them." Fenix said getting up. "So, I'll see you come Monday."

"Tuesday, Monday's a holiday." Cree reminded.

Fenix took his leave secretly vowing to make Robin pay for this as he left. Cree would have gladly come in armor and all, but she decided against this not wanting to risk Fenix's job or him finding out. She would have enjoyed the party without.

[Saturday Evening]

"You piece of shit! I had a weekend planned and you'd decided to dump your work on me!" Fenix said grabbing Robin by his collar.

"Look, you're the one Lydia asked for. Besides, they threatened to riot." Robin whined.

"I want double pay for this and wait…where are you going?" Fenix said noticing Robin and his hungry men were dressed for vacationing.

"On a cruise?" One said innocently.

Fenix's eye twitched and they took this moment to run. Fenix groaned and knew the reverse would be here late into the night. He moved into the room where Lydia and her Senior Citizen Squad were in noticing Maurice was not in.

"Where's Maurice?" Fenix asked.

"Hospital. Somehow the big lug caught salmonella…no thanks to that idiot Robin. Where is he anyway?"

"On a cruise." Fenix said as Lydia exploded.

"What? We asked that lazy bum to stay to help you!" Lydia snarled as Fenix boiled over him.

"That fucking dickweasel! I actually get invited to a party on a private island, but I have a work. But that asshole just puts his work on my plate while goes on a damn cruise!" Fenix exploded. "Well, screw that. I'm going to that party and you three are coming with me."

When Lydia asked how, Fenix took up two jars of her anti-aging cream from the table.

"Why the same way you've been robbing tapioca and other pudding trucks?" Fenix said as Lydia looked at him with shock. "Oh, I'm more aware of this world then I put on. I'm just smart enough to directly show I am."

"What are you…some kind of a spy?" Lydia said trying to whack Fenix with her cane for him to easily dodge it.

"The truth is complicated. Let's just say I am more than meets the eye." Fenix said holding up the crèmes. "Allow me to show you. Warper Edit."

The crème was consumed by white flames for a split second before the flames dyed down to reveal the container was now white and the label was different.

"I just altered this one to more potent. Where the old stuff you used lasted hours…this one can last for nearly a year." Fenix said with a smug little grin as he put the jars down. "One thing though…you'll have rub a lot of it all over your bodies. And you're on your own for that. I'll go wait…urk!"

"Oh no, pretty boy. I'm not wasting an opportunity like this. You're going to rub that on me." Lydia said as Fenix paled.

"Oh, come on!" Fenix whined. "But...but…."

"Don't even complain, when I get back my youth, you won't be." Lydia said with cheeky grin.

"But I'd have to rub it on your sensitive bits, and I have a girlfriend." Fenix said nervously as he was hooked by her cane.

"Then be a good little spy and keep your mouth shut." Lydia said as Fenix sighed in defeated.

By the time he was done, and Lydia and Sheldon had their youth back, Fenix was just cringing at what he had to do to Lydia to get the end result. She enjoyed it too much and Fenix had eyes of shame and humiliation.

"Buck up, kid. You did good, plus the end result's wort-" Sheldon said as Fenix shot him a dirty look. "Sorry."

"She can look like Jessica fuckin' Rabbit for all I care…it was not worth what I had to-ack!"

Fenix was struck with the cane as he turned grabbing the now dressed Lydia by the scruff by her bodysuit.

"You really think it's wise to keep hitting me when I'm taller than you and now…much bigger than you stringbean." Fenix said as Lydia had a nervous grin. "Yeah, I thought so. C'mon. And grab the crèmes and pack your stuff for a weekend."

He let her go as the trio headed over back to the neighborhood, specifically his home. Fenix grabbed his go bag (his trusty and lucky duffel bag) before going to his seemingly empty garage. Fenix opened a hidden panel as the floor opened up as a set of wheels came up on a platform.

"Leapin' lizards, that's some ride." Lydia said as the car shone bright.

"A Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni, customized heavily by yours truly." Fenix said opening the car. "It's a beaut."

The other got in as the garage door opened up as Fenix started his car up.

"Gallardo Command, flight mode." Fenix said as the wheels were encased in a mettalic blast shield.

The black car zipped into the air as the garage quickly returned to normal.

"I should be able to get a ping on my girlfriend's phone with mine…and got it." Fenix said piloting eastward.

He decided to at least call her using the car connected to his actual phone. She had picked up and Fenix gave her a pleasant hello expecting one back. What he got was a scream.

"Cree! Cree! What's wrong?!" Fenix said a bit worried.

"It's Stacey…she's a vampire!" Cree exclaimed.

"Like the spanking one…" Lydia said raised eyebrow.

"Yes, but she's murdering people left and right turning them into her slaves. I…oh no…" Cree said before her line went home.

"Well, shit." Sheldon said as Fenix had a look of ice on his face. "What are you doing to do?"

"Save her." Fenix said seriously. "I may have to come out of the shadows, but fuck it, I care about her too much to let her end up vampire food. Will you two at least help me out? You two, owe me one. Especially you, Lydia."

"Fine." Lydia said pouting. "Because you can't appreciate a fine body."

Fenix had no words for her.

At the island, it was the hunters versus the hunted. Not only the teens, but the kids as well. Numbuh 1 was inwardly kicking himself. All that paranoia he aimed at Fenix, and he let 12.5 slip under her nose. The ever cheerful girl turned out to be a bloodthirsty vampire. Though, he admitted that he would not have seen that coming though. Didn't help that 12.5 decided to make Numbuhs 3 and 4 her first victims.

"She knows our secrets, our codes. Calling for backup is going to be fruitless." Numbuh 362 said thinking it over. "We need to send out an alert and try to regroup."

"Did 12.5 have to pretend to be my friend?" Numbuh 86 said glumly. "I feel used…"

"It's not your fault. She played us for suckers." Numbuh 5 said as her and Numbuh 2 kept firing at the undead.

The five were seemingly the only kids not dead or undead as they found themselves surrounded as the former 12.5 walked up out from the crowd with her vampiric appearance more obvious.

"Bella. You traitorous monster." Numbuh 1 said raising his S.P.I.C.E.R. "Why did you do it? Why betray us? Was it for the adults?"

"You stupid bald bastard. You think this has anyone to do with adults. I did it because I have a need to feed. Who was going to drop me or my big sister from the same to your teenage associates? Or my parents from hunting down your families? No one. That's who…we've already shredding the G:KND and we all simply drain this world dry and move on." Bella said coldly which terrified the living five. "Don't worry, choose to serve me and I may spare your lives to serve the coven."

[Cues: Drowning Pool – Man Without Fear]

The blaring down of rock music got Bella look up to see a blur.

"Is that a flying armored va-"

Bella was cut off by laser gun as she scrambled away as the undead were mowed as the flying armored van made a dramatic landing as the door opened. Lydia came out and shot one of the undead monsters lunging at her grandson.

"What are you doing? Get in the van!" Lydia said as the five kids scrambled in before she shut the door. "Fenix! I got them!"

"Fenix?!" Numbuh 1 said turning Fenix in the driver's seat.

Fenix was dressed a bit differently and had a much more serious look. A World War-esque black trench coat with a high dark-red collar and a dark red sweatshirt underneath covered with armor, black trousers with grey bandages around his shins and black boots.

"I know something was up with you. I was-" Numbuh 1 said only to be cut off by Fenix saying, "Now's not the time. I need to see Cree!"

He hit the gas tracing her energy while shooting any undead in the way.

"Oh yes, it's time. What are you? Teen Ninja?" Numbuh 1 said with a S.P.I.C.E.R. aimed at him. "Ally of the Senior Citizen Squad?"

"I'll explain later, but I'm not a Teen Ninja and…I was a caretaker…not a direct ally." Fenix said focusing on the road as Lydia whacked Numbuh 1 with her cane.

"Lay off him! Considering he just saved you from being vampire food." Lydia said as Sheldon nodded in agreement.

"My grandma has a point, Numbuh 1. On a side note, thanks for saving us." Numbuh 2 said as Lydia rolled her eyes.

Fenix got to the teen side of the island and it was…arguably a lot worse. Fenix finally managed to get a proper lock on Cree's energy and pulled to a stop killing the music.

[Music Ends]

"Lydia, take the wheel. Sheldon, you're with me. The rest of you? Stay put." Fenix said getting up. "And because you complain….you're outgunned and dealing with an enemy that has a lot over you."

"And you got an edge because you're older?" Numbuh 1 said.

"No. Because that vampire coven and I share a similar power that is of a blessing and a curse." Fenix said opening up a box and taking out a Super Scope rifle to toss into Sheldon's hands.

He got out a pair of Elite Toxic Heater pistols for himself as the two teens rushed out opening fire with all matters of pains. Fenix and Sheldon unloaded bullets of fire and plasma to crave their way through. Fenix was never happier to see Cree had managed to get out of what happened to her, but the look of fear had him worried. She tripped as someone was inching closer. Stacey, who Fenix could sense…clearly.

"What's the matter, Cree? I thought you considered vampires hot." Stacey said licking her fangs.

"The sparkly kind. Not the psychopathic, I'll rip your throat out kind?!" Cree said completely freaked. "What you did to Chad was…"

"That KND sympathizer? He had it coming. You know, I had my little sister plan a similar party on the other side of the island. Your little sister and her little Kids Next Dipshits are probably being eaten as speak." Stacey said as Cree got up to punch her. "A bit of sisterly love?"

Stacey caught Cree's fist and twisted it. Cree was cursing herself for not bringing her weapons and leaving her B.R.A. behind. You won't need it, she said. Before Stacey could try to bite her, a bullet of plasma marred her back forcing her to jump back and release Cree.

"Cree!" Fenix said tossing her one of his pistols. "Catch!"

She caught it. She wanted to ask why he was here, what's with the clothes, and the gun…but she pushed the thoughts aside to focus on surviving to ask them later.

"Fenix? I didn't invite you." Stacey said rubbing her cheek.

"That was your second mistake and your last one. Tobu Shigan!" Fenix said before making a finger thrust with his free hand.

Out fired a compressed shockwave of air that nailed Stacey's right shoulder as if a bullet pierced her. With her stunned, he rushed in grabbing her before throwing her through her own beach house.

"Ok, where the hell were you hiding all this?!" Cree asked.

He could have answered had not for Stacey screaming with a kiai blowing the front part of the house to pieces. Stacey snarled before calling for the monsters to cease attack on the three and focus on the others, that they were hers.

"So…you're one of a us?" Stacey said surprised. "Explains the blatant use of that move."

"A vampire?" Cree asked.

"No, you stupid bitch. A reality warper." Stacey said glaring at Fenix. "I guess this means I won't hold back."

Sheldon got in front of Fenix and Cree and told them to go.

"Sheldon, but…"

"But nothing. I've tangled with Spankula…and I can handle a teenage whelp. Now go. And promise me…you all survive this, no matter what." Sheldon said cocking his rifle.

"I promise." Fenix said grabbing Cree's hand. "Soru."

He vanished with her as Stacey called out Sheldon's decision to stay only to be shot by him. There were no words, just action. If he was going to be young, he was going to use all the energy to kick her fangs in as long as he could. Fenix had felt guilty but pushed on arriving at the armored van. As they got in, sisters were reunited and shared a firm hug. For the moment, them being enemies was forgetton in favor of just being glad the other was alive.

"Where's Sheldon?" Lydia asked as Fenix retook the driver's seat.

"He stayed because to fight a vampire, but I'm going to save him!" Fenix said revving the engine.

Stacey had to admit that Sheldon was putting up a decent fight with his flight and speed being admirable, but Stacey had enough playing around having the undead join to help take him down. Fenix was speeding over only to sense a stronger power and that promptly ended Sheldon with a few finger beams.

"Oh crap…I think there's more of them." Fenix said as Lydia shuddered.

Fenix quickly paled as what appeared to be Stacey's mother floating down, and Fenix punched the button to launch the van into the sky hitting the throttle. To his ire, mother and daughter were after them firing finger beams after them. Fenix immediately put the ship on autopilot before trying to sense out anyone who could teleport to.

"C'mon…come on…please…I…wait…oh thank God, Tommy!" He thought before saying, "I need everyone's hands on me! NOW! Lydia, take up our bags."

"Why?" Lydia asked as the van rattled from being shot. "Never mind, doing it."

With their hands on, Fenix activated the van's self-destruct protocol before putting two fingers to his forehead to hone in on Tommy's energy. It took a few seconds, but he got it. His eyes cracked open as he and the group vanished right on time. The group arrived all falling on top of Tommy who was all alone.

"Hoagie, what's going on? Where did you…" Tommy said as Fenix shushed him.

"There's no time. Hoagie, you and your brother need to pack your stuff. The planet's getting overrun with vampires, and I'm sensing them all the place. We need to hurry and get off the planet…and this universe." Fenix said worriedly.

"To where exactly?" Numbuh 1 asked.

"You aware of multiverse theory? Well picture that theory on drugs and all the sugar you can stomach. These vampiric dicklicks came to this universe because there were no reality warpers in mass numbers to stop them. They realized I'm one of them and they'll want me preferably dead. If this coven is working for who I think it is, we need to get out of here since yesterday!" Fenix said icily. "He's most likely had plenty of adults killed…if those two girls planned a party for the kids and teens. Someone's planned for the adults…"

It was agreed that everyone would pack and meet up at Fenix's place. Numbuh 1 did not want to trust a teenager, but he did exactly have many options. Soon enough, everyone was at Fenix's place as he let them all down before locking down the place.

"Ahem. Code Whitewash." Fenix said as an elevator appeared in the middle of the living room. "Guys, get in."

They all piled in as the elevator went down…far down. Numbuh 2 was floored to see an honest-to-god spaceship and lab set up. The ship haa large black jet-like vehicle resembling a Concord with white streaks on the side.

"So, are you an alien or something?" Numbuh 86 asked.

"It's complicated. I'll answer your questions as soon as we're out of the universe." Fenix said going up to the computer console to put in commands. "Ok, everyone. Board the ship. We're blowing this pop stand."

With everyone on board, he made he had everything before hauling in his duffel bag and suitcase. He got to the pilot chair before starting the ship as everyone strapped in. The ship blasted off into the cave when led to the ramp from a surprised allowing them to take to the skies and soon enough space.

"Ok, I should be able to activate the portal feature to get us out of this universe. I just need the speed, so hang on." Fenix said piloting the ship out into deeper space. "Hopefully, they'll be busy feasting to chase after us….and I left a bit of a surprise for them back at my old home."

"What was that?" Cree asked.

"A hydrogen bomb." Fenix said as the group looked at him horrified.

"What? I don't get it." Tommy asked innocently.

"Where you get a hydrogen bomb?!" Numbuh 2 asked.

"I built it from KND and Teen Ninja parts from your battles and stuff in the junkyard. Those adults always tend to throw away a bit of useful tech." Fenix said.

"So, you were aware." Numbuh 1 said.

"Quite. I was well-aware. I'm…sorry Cree. I did know the truth all along." Fenix said downcast as Cree looked mortified. "But I'll have to explain everything later. It's ready."

As the ship increased in speed, it began to glow white with a flame-like aura around it. Fenix entered in the coordinates before the ship entered hyperspace leaving the universe behind.


(A/N: Fenix is the son of a KND villain and a One Piece villain. I'll leave you guessing who, but we're going to swap back to the A plot so our plots can come together.)
