I own nothing!
Chapter 18: Inevitable Encounter
"Move!" Rachel shouted pushing the men out of the way
They all took a tumble retreating from the incoming aircraft. Turing in time to see the chopper land, while the blades started slowing to a halt, the door opens. Five sets of legs touched ground, yet again wearing similar outfits from their last encounter with Nigel, except this time more formal with accents of black and red pinstripes.
Their eyes survey the area, landing on Nigel, "Well, well, well… we must truly thank you Mr. Uno. You've done such a swell job in helping us find our dear, darling, missing Father. Unfortunately, your service to us is no longer needed." They smirked grimly
"We weren't trying to help you bloody dolts in any way. My own reasons for coming here are completely different, if anything, it was to stop you prissy brats." Nigel spat
Confused and shocked Ben, slowly rose to his feet. Warily he made his way over to his… children?
"It… it can't be. I thought… I thought you were gone forever. Nobody could find you… my… my children." He went over to hug the DCFDTL "Oh how I've missed you, my Nance will be surprised. I've told her so much about you!"
The hug was brief, only broken by the DCFDTL, "It's good to see you too…Father." They gave a genuine smile, with a look of longing and sadness in their eyes
"Come you must meet the family; the boys will be ecstatic!"
"Fa…family?" they stutter, the hurt in their eyes evident
They began to laugh humorlessly "Of course, we should have known. Instead of searching for us, you went off and started a new family without us. You didn't care about us at all…Father…" They spat "No…" They stated evenly "Benjamin… you are no father of ours…" They whip out a lithe stick, which expends into a large cane
"Ben look out!" Nigel screams
Before he could do anything, he was tackled out of the way. Narrowly dodging the blow that was aimed at him. Laying on the ground, dazed, he was covered by a blonde man.
Chad groans, "Are you alright Ben?" He turns, to help him up
"Who the bloody hell are you?" Ben asks
"Aww, Father you wound me. You recognize your bald nephew, but not one of you top prodigies? I bet if I was as gorgeous as Cree, you'd remember." He smirks
Giving him a quick once over, stopping on his only uncovered eye, "Ah! Mr. Dickson… I see you've grown up well. Thanks for the help." He slaps his shoulder
"Enough, chit chat guys… we have a slight problem here." Rachel yells
Nigel was in a full-on battle with the DCFDTL, hopping around trying to avoid lasers that were coming from the cane they used earlier on Ben.
"Good lord, what has gotten into them. They seemed perfectly fine a minute ago." Ben laments
"Well, you did just somewhat tell them, that you've moved on. Something they haven't exactly done themselves. Hence, why they are here…annnnddd… they're psycho." Chad reasons
Ben looks over, noticing the crazed look in his children's eyes. He had to do something before this brawl got out of hand. Looking around, he notices a figure standing close the helicopter. Immediately he recognizes, his long-time employee…
"Jenkins! Jenkins!" Both men ran towards each other, briefly embracing one another
"Sir! You are well, thank the lord!" Jenkins exclaims
"Yes, yes… I'm fine. Look I need you to do me a huge favor. Not too far from here is a house, find my wife and tell here to get my suit. She will know what to do. I'm sure she knows where it is, in our basement, she pretty much hid it so I couldn't find it. Please ol bean you have to hurry." Ben urges
"Right away sire!" he took off running
"Come we must help Nigel." He beckons to Chad
Rushing over to the fight, not much had changed, minus Rachel joining the fray. Chad and Ben split, trying to find good vantage points to jump in. Nigel continuously dodged and parried, more on the defensive than offensive. He couldn't find a decent opening, it seemed as soon as he got ready to attack, another blow was coming at him.
'Bullocks, this is annoying… I have to disarm them somehow.' He thought
Using his SPLANKER as a shield, he blocked yet another thrust from the DFCFDTL. Again, he leaped back into a flip, landing on and using the tree as leverage to launch himself at the group. Pulling out his FRAPPE, he started blasting at his opponent. Not one blast seemed to hit, they effortlessly parried each shot with their staff.
"Come now Nigel, do you really believe, those outdated toys, will be enough to stop us?" They taunt
'They're right… this is getting me nowhere. I have to do something!' he thought
Another beam, jolts him from his thoughts, barely having time to register the attack, he jumped and rolled away. Looking up, he saw them coming toward him, but was relieved seeing his girlfriend, right behind them. Rachel came down flying through the air with her yield sign. She aims at their back, hoping to catch them off guard. The quintet didn't bother turning, placing the walking stick behind them, preventing the attack from hitting its mark. Surprised, Rachel bounced back. Though ultimately realizing why, Nigel couldn't land a single blow.
She shouts, "Nigel! They have a force field!"
He curses from his spot across the field.'Of course, they do… the little pricks.' He thought
As he continued to ponder what he could do, black fireballs rained through the sky. Ben and Chad joined the bout. Ben was still without his suit and still wasn't at full capacity but did all he could for now. Chad shot an alien ray-gun at the DCFDTL, hoping the continuous firepower would help the cause. Alas nothing seems to deter the distraught children, spinning their powerful staff the attacks disintegrated.
"Are you finished yet?" The DCFDTL asks, "You are starting to bore me."
They give a fake yawn, "Let me show you what we can really do…"
Slamming their staff onto the ground, they press a concealed button, which divides the cane in half. It starts to spark, emitting blue electrical bolts which surrounded them, causing no harm to its wielder. Without warning, they discharge their staff, sending bolts in all directions. All seemed to elude the strike, minus Ben. Striking his left leg, he lets out an agonizing scream. Falling to the ground momentarily, while Chad rushes to his aid.
"Ben!" Nigel yells out, "You bastards, you'd intentionally hurt your own father? I thought you wanted to save him?" Nigel questions
"Ha! That man is not our father… he abandoned us… started a new family. He… he is dead to us. We will take over the mantle as supreme super villain and show the world that we are not to be trifled with." They roar
Nigel made his way over to Rachel, "Gosh they are delusional. I don't know how to get through to them." He confesses
"There has to be something… something that will get through to them." Rachel ponders
As they continued to brainstorm, Jenkins came running up with an entourage behind him. Making his way to Ben, as quickly as he could
"Sir, I have it… the box you've asked for!" Jenkins yells
Behind him, stopping at the edge of the hill where Abby and Hoagie along with Nancy and her two boys. Hoagie and Abby, immediately sprang into action, moving toward Nigel and Rachel.
"I see that the Delightful Dorks, decided to show their ugly faces. How nice of them to ruin the party." Hoagie jests
"Are y'all aright Honey?" Abby asks, "Seems like y'all might need a lil help. Abby is surprised, y'all haven't whopped the lil sour heads tails already."
"I'm with Abs, it's not like you guys to have trouble in a fight." Hoagie agrees
"Well it's a little more complicated than that." Rachel informs, while making sure Nigel is alright
"They seemed to be a bit overpowered, we don't know from what, but so far we have deduced that they have a force field. The numb nuts also have that supercharged cane, that spouts electricity. It's kind of a pain in the ass to get around, honestly." She explains
"So, what happened? I thought the little psychos would be happy to see Father, why are they attacking him?" Hoagie questions
"From wot I can gather; they went off the deep end when Father mentioned his family." Nigel answers
"Oh… shit…" Abby's eyes widen, "We have ta get them outta here." She looks over to the Uno family
The group looks over, becoming conscious of how close the family is to the DCFDTL. It wouldn't take a genius to put two and two together. It'd only be a matter of time, before they would notice that, they were Ben's family. As if on cue…
"Pa!" Jack yells out, seeing his injured father lying on the ground, next to a strange man.
"Pa! Pa… are you okay." He rushes over, tears streaming down his round face
Sitting up with the petite black box in one hand, he places the other on Jack's shoulder.
"Don't worry champ, your old man is doing swell. Now, go back and take care of Ma, dear old dad needs to take care of some naughty children."
Skeptically the boy looked at his father, but reluctantly scurried back to his mother.
"Well, well… isn't that sweet." They drawled sarcastically "How much you seem to care for your biological hell spawns but couldn't spare an ounce of sympathy for your precious adopted kids. All you ever did was rage and verbally abuse us… but no longer Father! We will give you a taste of your own medicine!" They spit vehemently
The air grew thin, as lighting encircle them. Sparks flash haphazardly all around the group. Repeatedly the party dove about, as to avoid being struck by the violent streaks of energy.
"Jenkins! Hurry! Get them out of here!" Father implored, wanting his ilk out of harm's way.
By now, having had a breather, he donned the signature black power suit. Once again, the immense power floods his veins, igniting the latent powerful energy he tucked away for nearly a decade. Finally feeling like the man, he once was, he propels himself off the ground toward his 'children'. With an energized fist, he aims near their faces, only to be thrown back by their offending invisible barrier. Continually he tries to penetrate the barricade with no avail. Growing tired of his failures, he concentrates his energy into his fist. Building a vast amount of his power leaving him immobile for a few seconds.
"Oh, is the old man tired now? Is that all that you have? Ha! Some supreme villain you claimed to be… The all mighty Father is now just a feeble old man!" The Quintet gibes
As they began to laugh, Father readies his attack, and without pretense he strikes. Landing a blow square onto Bruce's jaw. The DCFDTL stumble, shocked that he had enough power to get through to them. Now vulnerable, they panic, firing wildly at their opponents.
"Nigel!" Ben yells "Now, while their defenses are inoperable!"
"Kids Next Door Battle Stations!" Nigel yells
Already at the ready, the squad prepares for the fight of their lives.
Abby and Hoagie run toward them, Hoagie partially ahead. Quickly and fluidly he bends down, as Abby simultaneously runs up his back, launching herself toward the DCFDTL. Grabbing hold of one of the members she struggles to embrace them as the plunge to the forest floor. As her hold slackens, Abby springs out of a roll, ready to attack, she notices, Lenny as he struggles to gain his composure.
"Alright lemon head, Abby's ready to teach ya a lesson in respectin yo eldas." She shouts
Bolting, they engage in hand to hand combat, Lenny surprisingly holding his own.
'Abby didn't thank they would actually know how ta fight, guess ya can't judge a jujubeby its flavor.' She thinks
Lenny eludes and deflects to the best of his ability, barely keeping up with Abigail, but by no means retreating. With a quick faint, he ducks dropping into a sliding kick. Scarcely missing the blow intended to knock her off her feet, Abby jumps tucking her knees to her chest, flipping to the rear landing crouched. Springing forward, her knee propels into Lenny's lithe chest, slamming him into a nearby tree. As his back bashes into the trunk of the foliage, he doubles over gasping for air. Abby nears the fallen man, reaching over to detain him. He quickly grabs her arm pulling her close to him, pinning her against his chest.
"I've got you now." He heaves
Hoagie, leaving Abby to her own devices, he effortlessly escapes the haphazard blasts blazing through the sky. Running around he sees, Nigel tussling with Bruce attempting to get the cane away from him as Rachel wrestles with Ashley (Name? Cindy…? (I know she was never named)). Chad is easily besting David, merely playing around as if they were sparring. That just left Hoagie with Constance, even though he was highly against fighting women, he wouldn't let his guard down, knowing how they wanted to wipe the KND from the face of the earth.
She spots him running through the trees, seeing him get closer and closer, waiting until he was within range. She pulls off her pearl necklace, forming into a snakelike whip. Swinging it towards Hoagie, it expands and curves, wrapping around the arm he used to block. Tugging, Constance tries flinging Hoagie to her, thinking quickly he uses his weight to hold himself firm, allowing him sometime to break free. Doing so, he sees the bruise the pearls left on his forearm.
"Damn, I have to be careful, those jewels smarts." He hisses
Wary of Constance's whip like pearls, he defensively made his way in closer to disarm her, hoping he did not fall prey to the weapon again. Unfortunately for Hoagie, luck was not on his side, while closing in, he failed to notice, the pearls snaking around him. This time they grip his neck, squeezing the air out of his lungs. Gasping for air Hoagie struggles to fight his way to his attacker.
"Not so funny now are you… jester.? We'll see who has the last laugh." She cackles
Pulling Hoagie to his knees, as he claws at his throat, she sneers down at the helpless man. Basking in her victory, she doesn't notice the impending doom heading her way. As the fireball collided with her back, she flew a few feet away from Hoagie, landing roughly. The constraint around his airway loosen as he gasped for air.
Haggardly, he spit out "Than...thank you." He coughs
"No thanks, young Gilligan, I owe you for caring for my family in my absence. Now, enough talk lets teach these disobedient children a lesson." Father expressed
Shakily he stands, gingerly rubbing his throat. Hoagie readies his SPICER, as Father makes his way towards his 'daughter' hands aflame. Rolling over, Constance flicks her whip, cracking Ben in the face, though slightly jostling him. He continues toward her, as she again whips at him, this time he catches the offending weapon. With immeasurable heat he incinerates the pearls in an instance.
"Pathetic… I thought I taught you the value of quality. If they were real, you would have impressed me a great deal. Cheap trinkets will only lead to your demise."
His flames smolder as he places a direct blow to the midsection, catching Constance in his arms, he lands a quick chop to the back of the neck, rendering her unconscious.
"That takes care of that… come we must aid the others." Ben urges, whilst laying the fallen foe at the base of a nearby tree.
Dashing into the eye of the storm, the duo survey the area. Ben peels off to assist Nigel, while Hoagie frantically searches for his fiancée.
'Where is she… she should be back by now.' He franticly calculates 'Damn it all… if something happens to Abby, I swear I'll…'
Skidding to a halt, he spots her struggling to free herself from Lenny's grasp.
Sprinting yet again, he shouts "Let…Her …Go!"
Turning to the approaching vocals, yanking Abby along with him. Lenny backs up slowly, maintaining control of his hostage. Anxiously looking around, he regrettably backed himself into a tree. Hoagie quickly approaches, hoping to knock Lenny out before he did anything crazy to Abby. Noticing Hoagies fast movements, Abby lowers her body shifting her weight. Rapidly she lunges upwards, headbutting Lenny's nose forcing him to let go. Rolling to the side, just as Hoagie arrives, with a well-timed knee to Lenny's face. If his nose wasn't already broken, it sure was now, as the red liquid heavily flowed from his face.
Without hesitation, Hoagie went to help Abby up, extending his hand; not even sparing Lenny a second glace "Hey Abs, you alright? Sorry I couldn't get here sooner. Got held up, if it wasn't for ol Ben, I think I would've been a goner."
"Abby's fine babe… Abby just got a bit sloppy is all, Abby let her guard down too soon. Thanks, Sugah fo da assist, Abby knows you always got her back."
He smiled. "Always! But hey its not over yet, Nigel and the rest were still fighting when I ran past a minute ago. I'm sure he's fine but you never know if he needs an extra hand… or fist." He chuckles
Abby groans, but smiles non the less.
"Alright Sugah, let's go."
The duo swiftly made it back to the opening where the battle had started. Again, with a quick once over, the fight looked almost over. Only Nigel and Bruce were still tussling, as Chad and Rachel seem to be checking each other for damage.
Nigel pushed the staff against Bruce's throat, hoping he wouldn't have to do anything more drastic than choke him out. Bruce however wasn't not relenting, continuing to put up a fight.
Forcefully he spat at Nigel "You…. Will not… win." He muttered through gritted teeth
"Give it up ol bean, we've defeated you countless times before, how did you even think this would be different? Now stop resisting and just accept your blasted fate."
Grunting, he keeps struggling "We… will not lose… not again!"
Bruce began to glow, suddenly a blast of electricity spasms through the air. Letting out an agonizing scream, his eyes blazes blue as he starts levitating. The glowing electricity extends out to the other DCFDTL, picking up their unconscious bodies transporting them to centre. Inevitable, the quintet merges together as their bond doesn't allow for them to separate for long. The group watched in horror as they didn't just gravitate back to their usual formation but fused into one ginormous being. The amalgamate twisted and raged in what seemed like excruciating pain as the lightning swirled dangerously through the already thin air. As the lightning stormed, the screams abate, as the smoke caused by the wind and electricity dissipated an ominous figure loom.
Nigel having been knocked back by the shock-wave, looks over, with a frown apparent of his face.
"Bloody hell…"
