Plungers soon came out and were placed on their faces. There was then a glow which shined all around the world on Earth and things could go back to normal.

"Is this the cafeteria?" Grandfather muttered as he was a little old man again. "It's mushy bean night, ya know!"

"Oh, hello, Pappy, I didn't know you were coming for a visit!" Monty smiled to his father. "I wish I would've had a chance to tidy up."

Atticus and Cherry both looked confused. The factories were soon gone and everyone was back to their rightful age. Even the adult villains, only to get attacked by the Kids Next Door.

"Way to go, kids, it looks like no one suspects a thing." Cherry told her daughter, niece, and nephews as she came over with Atticus.

"So, uh, how do you and Dad remember?" Akito asked.

"Our minds are like steel traps in case of emergencies such as this... In fact... I'm so proud of... You all..." Cherry told the kids in her usual stoic tone before she felt an odd sensation in her face as it shook and it soon seemed like the corners of her mouth had been turned right side up, forming a smile.

The kids were soon surprised as they didn't expect that.

"You were right," Numbuh 362 told Numbuh 1 as she stood from a tall pillar. "If you listened to me, we'd all be making tapioca right now. You found Numbuh 0, and not only saved the Kids Next Door, but the world. Not to mention you found out Numbuh 0 was totally your dad!"

"I know, right?" Numbuh 1 smiled back to her. "But you know what? It was you that was right. I put myself before the team, and I couldn't have saved the world without them."

"I can still give you Numbuh 86's promotion?" Numbuh 362 smirked.

"Ah, let her keep it," Numbuh 1 smirked back. "I'd rather be with my friends in Sector V anyway."

"I understand." Numbuh 362 smiled at his mature moment.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I still have one last teammate to find," Numbuh 1 said before finding a certain device and picked it up. "Okay, Numbuh 0, let's recommission you again!"

Then suddenly, the device broke in his hands, and where he started to get frantic. Soon, a bright blue light came out.

'Hello, son.' Monty greeted.

"Dad...?" Numbuh 1's eyes widened.

'If you're watching this, then we won,' Monty told his son in the hologram. 'Congratulations. You're probably wondering why the recommissioning module is broken. Well... I broke it. I had a hunch, you might want to use it to get Numbuh 0 back, well...' he then chuckled before sighing in seriousness. 'Look, I would love to have tons more adventures with a super cool Numbuh 1 and his team, but I'm just not a kid anymore; I'm an adult. I need to complete the most important mission of my life: being a good father to my son. So, you're the keeper of the book now, Nigel, that's right, keep a stiff upper lip, and make sure everyone gets to write their own crackerjack story.' He then ended the transmission with a salute.

Numbuh 1 soon started to tear up as he knew his father was right.

Monty soon came behind his son and put his hands on his shoulders. "I say, what's going on around here, old bean?" he smiled. "You kids building one of your two-four technobot thingies?"

"No, Dad, I was just playing with an old friend." Numbuh 1 sniffled and hugged his father.


The members of Sector Z stood in a line while Atticus had a paper to write down on.

"Name and number?" Akito asked.

"Bruce Diskin: Numbuh 0.1." The short blonde boy replied.

Atticus soon wrote down that name.

"Name and number?" Akito asked the next member of Sector Z.

"David Keane, Numbuh 0.2." The tall boy replied.

Atticus wrote that down and soon the next member came.

"Name and number?" Akito asked the tall blonde girl.

"Ashley Pinell, Numbuh 0.3." The girl replied.

Atticus wrote that down.

"Name and number?" Akito asked the dark-skinned boy.

"Leonard 'Lenny' Galecki, Numbuh 0.4." The boy said.

Finally, there came the short brown-haired girl.

"Name and number?" Akito asked.

"Ogie Banks, Numbuh 0.5." The girl said.

"Actual name..." Akito narrowed his eyes, thinking 'Ogie' was maybe a nickname.

The girl mumbled her actual name, she really hated it sometimes.

"Come on, tell us your real name." Atticus said.

The girl sighed. "Constance..."

"Now, was that so hard?" Akito asked.

"Yes." The girl glared as Atticus wrote down her name.

Once he had their names, Atticus could now find out where the members of Sector Z lived.

"Is that all of them, son?" Atticus asked.

"Yeah, Dad," Akito smiled. "I'm sure five families are going to be a lot happier knowing their children will be back home."

The father and son soon shared a hug.


"This was quite the adventure." Mighty Max smiled.

"Will we ever see you again?" Felicity asked.

"I'm sure of it." Mighty Max said.

The others smiled to him.

"Until next time... I'll see you around." Mighty Max told them before he soon left to go back to wherever he came from.

Vincent smiled as Mighty Max left the scene. "I never did get that boy's name."

Everyone gawked at him and yelled at him. "MIGHTY MAX!"

"Right, right." Vincent smiled sheepishly.

Everything was soon wrapping up nicely for the Codename: Kids Next Door, especially for Sector Z. Of course, there would be some cleaning up to do for the Kids Next Door, but it would be worth it. Atticus did some computer work to put in Sector Z's actual names into some files to find out if any families had missing children with the same names, and soon found them and found their contact information which made him smile.

Once he found the contact information, he soon dialed down the phone numbers. Mo came to Atticus's door and left him some dinner, knowing he would be up late in his home office to contact Sector Z's family members. Once he told the parents of the members of Sector Z of where their children were, he now just had to wait for them to arrive.


Akito, Estelle, and Vincent ate their dinner with their mother until they heard car horns and looked out to the window as five different vehicles came outside and parked in their yard.

"Those must be their parents." Estelle smiled.

Atticus beamed brightly as he came to the door.

"So, you had a dream about Pride Rock?" Cherry asked as she came to visit. "What happened there?"

"I'm not sure how to explain it, but I saw a small Rafiki who was helping him out, and she was a girl." Akito told his aunt.

"Sounds like he's taking on an apprentice." Cherry said.

"Do you know her name?" Estelle asked.

"Ugh... It was something like Makini... Malka... Something like that, I'm not positive..." Akito said as he held his head.

"Well, we'll have to visit sometime." Cherry said.

"Thanks, Aunt Cherry." Akito smiled.

Cherry gave her default smirk and then patted Akito on the head before playfully lowering his bandanna.

"Hey!" Akito called out with a laugh.

Cherry simply looked away innocently. Akito stuck his bandanna back up over his eyes.


"We just wanted to thank you for reuniting us with our children." A woman smiled tearfully to Atticus.

"It was my pleasure, ma'am." Atticus smiled back.

Akito smiled as he was happy that Sector Z was going back to their families. The five families soon gave Atticus gift baskets and tokens of their appreciation. Atticus walked over with the gifts after the families soon drove off back home before splitting them up between him and his family since there were five of them and Cherry was visiting to check in on things.

"So, how is everything?" Cherry asked.

"Oh, you know, reuniting families," Atticus smiled. "It's all part of my job, next to being a great dad. What's up with you, kids?"

"I dreamt about Pride Rock." Akito replied.

"That's great." Atticus smiled.

"There was this baboon girl," Akito continued. "Aunt Cherry thinks she might be Rafiki's apprentice."

"She might be." Atticus said.

"Does this mean we can go visit Pride Rock soon?" Vincent asked.

"Well..." Atticus and Mo paused.

"Pleeeeeease?" Akito and Estelle asked.

"I wanna check on The Lion Guard!" Akito said.

"And I wanna hang out with Kiara, Tiifu, and Zuri!" Estelle added.

"It's alright with me." Mo smiled.

"Yay!" The kids then cheered in excitement.

The End
