Author Note: Part of the Chrismas Explosion. Merry Christmas!
I do not own Kids Next Door.
Enjoy!
Two kids held each other in fear, trying not to make a sound.
They were hiding from the people they called their parents and their parents friend.
They went through horrific abuse, and when they thought they had finally gotten away, their parents pulled some strings and they were back with them.
Now they were hiding in their school, trying to be quiet and trying not to be heard, but it was only a matter of time before they were found and they would face another beating.
They didn't want to go back.
"Please God." Said the 7-year girl under her breath. "Please send somebody to help us"
The wish travelled and was picked up by the heavens where it was passed along to departments and eventually to an operative.
The operative just happened to be Hogarth "Hoagie" Pennywhistle Gilligan, who was asleep when he got it.
He suddenly woke up and saw the two kids hunched underneath a desk like viewing a portal.
Was this it?
Was this the summoning?
He turned and saw a bag with a wing design on it.
"Oh, yeah. Let's do this!" he said, running to the bag, taking it and then he vanished in a blinding white light.
Luckily when he reappeared, there was no blinding white light or the two kids would have been screwed.
The two children saw him appear before them with wide eyes.
However, instead of staying a teenager, Hoagie was back to his kid round self.
"Did anybody call an angel?" He said and quietly as they both looked at him with wide eyes.
He crouched down and said. "I've been briefed on what is happening. So I'm going to burst you guys out of here."
The two continued to look shocked.
He began to look around the room for an escape and saw a vent above.
Bingo.
"We're going to climb to that vent above", he said, to the kids. "Get on my shoulders and I'll help you inside. When we are all in that vent then you can ask questions"
The two looked at each other before agreeing, then they began to climb on the desk and then on him, the girl was on top and pushed the vent open so they can all climb in.
Unfortunately, this move made noise and they quickly heard footstep approaching the room.
Seeing this Hoagie pushed them both through and flew up into the vent himself, the two kids were wide-eyed when he met them.
"Crawl!" He hissed quietly and harshly as the door opened a second later and they followed him as they crawled.
He got something from the bag and they all was it was a direction device, and not just any direction device, it would lead them on the safest route out of here.
"So who are you?" Said the boy.
"Somebody that is trying to get his wings," he said, as both of them were wide eyes. "You can call me Hoagie. As for anything else, I can only tell you that once we're out and you got your freedom. If you're ever approached by kids who say they're from the KND. Run."
Both their eyes were wide.
"It's a trap," he said. "Don't be brought in by the coolness. The moment they get your DNA, your childhood is theirs. Then you turn 13 and they wipe that all away. You go from a happy person to an unhappy teenager at a press of a button. I lost a lot of friends that way"
Silence.
"I'm sorry," said the girl.
"It's fine," he said, as they finally got out and they found themselves on the roof.
The wind was in their hair and they saw adults looking for them in the yard.
"Now what?" Said the boy.
Hoagie got to the bag and opened it up and pulled out a stick, he pressed it and it transformed into a glider with angels wings on it.
"You hang on for dear life," he said, as both of them were wide eyes.
They took the pole and he assured them they would be fine, which they seemed to believe.
Then they did a run-up and jumped.
The glider dipped down and then the wings kicked in and they began flying, much to the adults below shock.
They flew into the sunsets and didn't stop until they were close to a nearby train station and it landed safely and disappeared.
Hoagie found something in his pockets and he pulled out two one way tickets.
He gave them both the tickets.
"Well, this is where I get off," he said, to them. "All you two have to do now is board the train and somebody would probably be waiting for you on the other side."
Both of them were stunned.
"You're not going with us?" Said the boy.
"Sorry no," he said. "Other people need me now."
"But what if something happened?" Said the girl.
His eyes turned soft as he said. "I promise nothing will happen. And if your feeling scared just remember there is always an Angel hearing your prayers."
Both of them were stunned.
"Would we ever see you again?" said the boy.
"If your ever in extreme danger and you pray, then you'll probably get a different Angel," he said, being honest with the both of them. "There's like a billion people on earth, the chances of getting me again is almost zero. But at least you can brag that you met an angel"
He winked at them before saying. "Now get on that train and be safe"
They both had tears in their eyes, nobody had ever helped them like Hoagie did and Hoagie allowed them both to hung him.
Then they both left for the train station.
"Those two are going to be okay," he said, as he vanished from view and found himself back in his room, he noticed his arm light up.
It showed a count and it went up, from 15 to 75.
Seeing this he went back to sleep and told the group when morning came.
Of course, they were shocked.
"What? You got a mission last night?" Said Nigel.
"Yeah. I helped two kids escape a school and got them to a train station to help them start new lives" said Hoagie, before he said. "It felt so good helping them and warning them about the KND. There was no feelings of guilt afterwards"
Yes, this was different, none of them felt happy whenever they finished a KND mission or had a feeling of satisfaction.
They saw the look of content in his eyes, there was no feeling of shame there so their opinion of the new organisation rose.
It had been a few days since they learned the end game of attraction and it took them a long time to be able to look at each other in the eye and not see that disgusting video.
In that time, they found social cliches like teenagers do.
Kouki had become a cheerleader.
Hoagie had joined the science nerds.
Wallie had become one of the kids who would go to extreme sports competitions and not blink from a broken arm.
Nigel had joined the culture club, wanting to know more about England because it was still confusing as hell to him.
And Abigal, well she just chilled with anybody she could find.
They still hung with each other because most kids weren't as vain as teenagers when it comes to hanging with people.
That's why the cliches were more for appearance's sake.
They were walking to the nearby cafeteria when they passed a female person with a camera.
The person did a double-take.
Suddenly all of them heard.
"Excuse me"
They stopped and turned around to see the woman, she seemed so happy to get their attention as she said. "Such style. I couldn't help but notice your group and your styles. Is it okay if I follow you all for a bit and take pictures?"
Pictures?
"I'm fine with it," said Abigail.
They were all fine with it and agreed.
However even in the KND sector V had been special, each individual was a star that shined all over the world.
Not a single one of them held themselves with a lack of confidence and that certainly didn't change undercover as teenagers.
They brought 'it' to the table naturally.
So those few hours turned into a few days before the woman left them alone, she left after taking down their posh new names.
And a few days before the official release of the Magazine, the magazine sent them early copies which apparently was the school's privilege.
Everybody picked up a magazine from the halls and the former members of Sector V opened the magazines together and saw nothing but fashionable good looking teenagers only to discover that the former members of the KND took up several pages including a double.
"Wow. We look so cute" said Kuki.
"Well, I guess that woman did know what she was doing," said Wally.
He looked good.
"Indeed this is a magazine for what rich teens are wearing," said Abigail. "I wonder how many teenagers subscribe to this thing?"
#A few days later#
"Oh. My. God" said Cree Lincoln, she was a subscriber. "These teens look just like the dead Sector V but older"
Her shock was shared all around the world because Sector V did not just do missions in America.
The magazine shocked teens from all over the world and caused jaws to drop.
Teenagers showed the adults who did battle with kids and they too were blown away.
It eventually made its way to Father and the Delightful Children.
"Oh, my gravy," said Father, seeing the magazine shown to him. "They looked like grown-up versions of Sector V"
"That's what we said," said the Delightful Children from Down the Lane.
"Premium," said Father, reading it, the cover. "The magazine that tells you what the rich teens are wearing"
There was an address for the school and their new posh names were on there as well.
Father opened his laptop and began googling the school name after he had put on his old glasses to read of course.
He said "Spirit High. A halfway point that aims to introduce wealthy international students to the high-end American lifestyle. Nobody less than 13 can apply and every student or staff must undergo a top of the line extensive background check so that each person can get the full Spirit high experience"
He looked through photos and each one was more impressive than the last.
It was indeed a top of the line school and he can tell that you really can't just be anybody to be able to come to this place.
Little did those researching knew that the words 'top of the line Extensive background check' was to throw off anybody who may still be alive to connect something to student images.
"It's an extremely nice place," said Father. "But to think there are teens with the same face out there"
It did the trick.
And right now, the former members of Sector Z we're taking the teenage test, a test to see if they can pull off being a teenager when they go out in their disguises.
The test was a virtual simulation, that not only put them through virtual everyday scenarios like going to the mall and hanging at a convenience store.
It also put them in a nightmarish scenario, like running into somebody who knew them in the past, like their own parents.
It even went as far as to insert them into a virtual camp with one of their past life parents as a counsellor.
The first time, all of them failed horrifically.
But they were allowed to take it over and over again and eventually all of them passed.
And just in time too, because a big event was coming up.
Football.
Kuki was allowed to go out with the rest of the girls to cheer for the school football team on and Wally was put on that team because he would be good for this game.
Also, he was bribed by the coach.
The rest of them decided to come to support them.
After all, this was supposed to be a school.
So, before all of them knew it, game day arrived and they were heading to McClington High school for the game.
Those apart of the team arrived by bus, however those who weren't found their own way to the school.
The three left, rented a limousine to come cheer for their friends.
However, when they got out Abbigal had to stop herself from showing absolute disgust because a bunch of guys whistled as she walked by.
As a kid, it really didn't matter what you wore as long as long as their was attempt, or you just followed what a kid or a figurine was wearing.
But as a teenager girl, you are expected to wear makeup and look nice.
And a girl can look real good when she had money to afford it.
Abigail ignored the catcalling, but she quickly found out it went the other way as well.
Hoagie found himself getting a lot of female attention and he always liked older girls.
Abigail was not happy, seeing Hoagie enjoying himself with this attention.
All these of the eventually found the entrance to the pitch and sat down at their schools section.
All three of them pretended not to notice the majority of the other school's teenagers looking their way, from across the field.
They saw Cree Lincoln, Maurice, many of the teen Ninjas that they fought before.
It was their worst nightmare.
However, luckily the game started and everybody eyes we're instantly on both teams stylish entrances and their cheerleaders.
However, immediately the difference in money made itself clear, the Spirit uniforms were top of the line, designed by a fashionista and a sports engineer.
Their school did not just have T-Shirt cannons, they were given out food that looked incredible.
There was cooked food like fondue and pork chops.
The other school had the usual peanuts, chips and soda.
"Dang, those spoiled bastards!" Said somebody from the other side.
Suddenly a lot of the girls looked interested and some guys too.
The two teams got a pep talk from their coaches, Spirit coach looked like a recently retired football player while McClington coach looked like every football dad in a movie.
Then the team's got into their position with Wally at the back and both side cheerleaders doing their best to rally the crowd, but it was hard McClington to do that when Spirits cheerleaders were supercute, flexible and super-rich.
Maybe, they would win in the game?
Nope.
What the other school didn't know was that they were dealing with renowned former tough KND operatives who despite their size, throw down hard.
So when wide muscles players couldn't knock down a thin player half their mass, there was silence.
And in the middle of this was Wally, who was a football star.
His moves were amazing, however, that's what happens when you learn all sorts of things from kids who have looked like teenagers for the past 50 years.
Wally was backflipping and doing all stuff of stuff all over the place and certain eyes noticed him and his moves.
When the game ended, it was a crushing defeat, but the other team wasn't even that mad about it, the other team beat them fair and square with no money involved.
Well, almost no money.
When the team got back, Wally was paid by the coach and then he met up with his friends.
They decided to wander around the school.
However, the moment they entered the school and began looking around, all five of them had tailors.
Perfect.
