The Story of the DCFDTH

"My story will boil your blood and crack your spines", Numbuh 1 said, copying the lines of a monster in a show. "Get ready for the scariest story of all five!"

"Can`t wait to hear it. Go!" Numbuh 4 answered.

"It all begins when the present Sector V had fought against the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, against another Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine and we had won, once again. It was during summer vacation. They came back to their mansion, low headed, with sad faces. They came back to their Father`s office, and told their story. Father burst in a terrible anger, as he always does, and told them that he had another brilliant idea: a pact with the Devil. Actually, since Father is already fire-powered, he has some devil traits. He just called a "cousin" from down there, in Hell, and that cousin created another version of the DCFDTL.

Soon, a portal appeared in the office, and from it went out the SCFDTH: the Shadowy Creatures from down the Hell. Father didn`t know how they would do it, he just wanted them to destroy Sector V. However, to do so, the SCFDTH had a devilish plan. Using their hell powers, they turned the Mansion into a giant creature that could walk on legs and with two hands made up of the machines the Children had used against us. The mansion left and the DCFDTL were angry at Father because he had taken them the greatest thing that ever happened to them.

A hundred meters from there, we were in our Treehouse, taking back forces from the last assault of the Delightfuls, and we weren`t prepared to another attack, which happened in fact only half an hour after the one of the real Delightfuls. When we saw the Mansion approaching on feet and with arms, we rapidly jumped in our battle machines. The W.R.A.S.T.L.E.R., the H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P., the S.C.A.M.P.O.W.E.R., among many others. The battle was rude, because every time the mansion was losing a tower it became alive as well, and it was attacking one of us. We were soon outnumbered, so Numbuh 2 called the Moonbase to help us, however they had other problems – that is, an undesirable alien."

The other operatives listened to Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2 and 5 with an open mouth that could let the others see the candies they were eating and Numbuh 4 approaching Numbuh 3, hoping to reassure her if she was too scared, even though he started feeling not too courageous neither. They were all silent, however, and wanted to hear if they won or lost.

"We fought against the Delightful Mansion, without any success, until we successfully destroyed most of it, causing the SCFDTH to jump out of it. They then used their powers to send our machines to Hell, from which we jumped off right in time before being engulfed by the earth. The next part of the battle was clearly lost, because we had only our weapons and our fists to fight. And the battle was too difficult, the KNDanger Rating being of 15,666667 (the highest known is Father`s, at 13!). They were using their fighting abilities and superpowers from Hell, such as calling little devils, transforming their tridents into super weapons and other things I don`t even think about! In the end, we were about to call helpers when they merged to become Satan. Then the monster grew to enormous proportions and ate us all.

The Moonbase got attacked by an entire army of these devils a few months later, however we weren`t there to save them this time. And that was the end of the Kids Next Door…"

Numbuh 1 didn`t even know he could create such scary stories. Just picturing the last battle was making him less courageous. The other operatives were way too scared to say anything. Not even Numbuh 4: that last story had shut down his mouth. Without any speech, each member went to their bedrooms, not even muttering a tiny "good night" to each other. Each seemed to know the others wouldn`t have a good night…

The next day, at school…

"Wallabe Beatles, can you come to the black board please?" Mrs. Thompson asked. "Wallabe?"

Numbuh 4 was sleeping on his desk, still trembling.

"Abigail Lincoln, then?"

"No, madam, I don`t feel too well today, I think I need more sleep."

There was no need to ask Numbuh 2. He wasn`t there. As a result, the KND were more scared than they had ever been…

The End
