Around the world, children are receiving messages. Some hear them on phones, others over computer screens, and more still receive carrier pigeons. But no matter what the means of delivery, the language or the recipient, the message is the same.
"Initiate Stage Two."

Inside a Children's Hospital in Germany, a group of youngsters are suffering an unimaginable fate. They were born without the ability to process sugar correctly. Without any sugar at all, victims become unable to fuel themselves, and the sufferers slowly wither away.
Inside the lunch room, several weary nurses are having small talk in an attempt to shrug off the daily suffering they observe. Suddenly, something catches the eye of one nurse. "Ein gumball?" she asked, before the gum explosive detonated and glued the nurses to the ground.
Inside the Sugar Deficiency ward, a fat boy in an explorer's hat and khakis steps into the room and approaches the children. He says a few words in German, then feeds one of the children a red piece of candy. The child is too weak to resist. The boy repeats the process for all of the sufferers, then waits. Within minutes, the patients feel strong, stronger then they've felt in their whole lives. Within minutes, they are jumping and singing and playing just like they've always wanted to.
Suddenly, the nurses from earlier barge into the room, intent of finding who set of the gum explosion. They stop dead in their tracks when they see the children healthy and playing. "Aber, wie?" they ask in bewilderment.
"Sie sind cured, danks Heinrich Von Marzipan."

It's early morning, and the School Bus/Train that delivers children to Gallagher Elementary school is roaring down the tracks, while the children inside ride along with sad faces. Suddenly, a BOOM! draws catches everyone attention, and the train suddenly skids to a halt. Everyone piles out of the bus to see that the entire engine had apparently been blown up. The children then let up a cheer when they realized that this meant they didn't have to go to school today.
All the children cheered, except for five, that is. While everyone else was celebrating, the Six Gum Gang was doing their best to look as innocent as possible...

Deep in the American heartland, a ghastly seen is unfolding. Laborers wearing the uniforms of Evil Adults Inc. are busy harvesting a massive field of broccoli that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Suddenly, a plane zooms in overhead, and begins to release a sickly green gas onto the fields. The broccoli plants immediately wither and die upon contact with the poison, saving millions of children from having to eat them and putting thousands of adults out of a job.
As the plane pulls out, we see that the Spanish-accented child known only as Ace is in the cockpit, yet his expression is unusually cold, and empty, his motions robotic...

Meanwhile, in an unknown location shrouded in darkness, a mysterious swirling portal opens, and the pre-teen terror known as Mandy steps through, holding the Scythe of the Grim Reaper.
As she approaches the rooms sole source of light, a 180-degree computor monitor displaying various Child Villains performing unusual acts of kindness or heroism, two other figures come into sight.
Mandark, evil boy genius and rival of Dexter, sits at the computer screen, co-ordinating the actions of the conspirators. Mushi, head of the Sector v section of the conspiracy, is attending the meeting via hologram.
"Mandark, status report!" Mandy demanded.
"Everything going as planned. Second wave operatives are in place. Shall I send them the signal?" he responded. Mandy simply nodded in response, causing Mandark to cackle his signature laugh before pressing a large red button.
Mandy then turned to Mushi. "Is your team ready to go?" she asked.
"Everything is okey-dokie on this end!" she replied cheerfully. "They won't know what hit them!" she added as her tone became vicious and her teeth jagged.
"Prepare your team, then await further orders." Mandy ordered darkly.
Across the world, new agents of the conspiracy were receiving their orders.
In a rusty junkyard outside a seemingly normal Cul-de-sac, a radio made of scarp metal crackles to life, catching the attention of three boys. One is short, and has three straight hairs on his head, another has a mono brow and a green jacket, while the third and final kid has a red shirt and black ski hat. "It would seem that are benefactor is contacting us!" the one wearing the ski hat says, and rushes over to the radio. After adjusting a few knobs, Edd, better known as Double D, establishes a clear signal.
"FINALLY!" the short one, Eddy, exclaims. "This will be the greatest scam ever!"
"I AM LIZARD MAN!" the mono browed one, Ed to his friends, shouted.
Double D was frantically operating a calculator, triple checking the final calculations. "Everything is set!" he declared.
"Then let the cash start flowing in baby!" Eddy exclaimed while smashing down on a big red button. The ground began to shake, then it split wide open, as something massive rose from the depths.
"By incorporating 2x4 technology into my old blue-prints I used to build that massive cardboard city and ordering Mandark's construction bots to build a massive self-contained high altitude habitat to contain the metropolis..." Edd began to go on as a massive shadow eclipse.
"Uh, Double D, I think you lost Ed." Eddy spoke up when he noticed the mono browed moron was indeed completely lost.
"I'VE CREATED THE WORLD'S FIRST FLOATING CITY!" Double D exclaimed as the massive construct came into view overhead. It was a massive, black sphere, easily the size of a KND Sector Tree House, that floated a few hundred feet off the ground. "It has everything we'll need to survive. Fully automated farms, massive water purifiers, an out of sight sewage system..." Double D began to list.
"An arcade, ice cream shop, jaw breaker factory, cable network, several statues of me..." Eddy listed.
"A chicken, a swimming pool of gravy, a chicken, a comic shop, a chicken..." Ed listed also.
"AND BEST OF All, NO PARENTS!" they all exclaimed together.
"Well what are we waiting for boys? Let's start charging admission!" Eddy exclaimed.

Back at the center of this conspiracy, Mandark is updating the progress of the second wave to Mandy. "It seems the Eds have managed to launch "their" city." the evil boy genius snorted. "Their city... my robots practically built the whole thing for them!"
"The Eds may be stupid, but their greed keeps them under my control. How are the others fairing?" Mandy retorted.
"Kyle has used his so called "magic" to turn the entire city water supply into soda, Brainfreezer has just finished creating an ocean in the heart of the Sahara Desert, Windsor's ties still has most of our wild cards under mind control, and Cartman's army of drunk Civil War Re-enactors has the world governments distracted." the second in command reported. "We'll destroy Dexter, and I'll get my own city soon, right?"
"Once Mushi's team ties up any loose ends, we'll activate the remaining cities." Mandy said as a hologram of the once-sweet little girl appeared again. This time, she had a pink bandanna across her forehead and crayons marks under her eyes. "Every thing's ready. Attack now!" Mushi quickly saluted, and the hologram disappeared.
"This time, I'll crush those Kids Next Door once and for all!" Mandy declared. "Then all of humanity will be under my rule." then she added quietly, "what's left of it at least."
"What was that last part?" Mandark asked.
"Never mind that!" Mandy snapped. "Just keep everyone co-ordinated. I have to go pay a visit to an old friend..." she said darkly before ripping another hole in the fabric of time with Grim's Scythe and disappearing

Also, to my German readers out there, I'm sorry if I have butchered your launguage. I got the words off an online translator, so... yeah.
