Numbah 83, 84, Johnny Test and Kyle reached the top of a massive flight of stairs. They'd finally reached the capital building of their target city (which turned out to be named 'Cartmantropolis'). "Alright guys," began Johnny "Cartman, Bling Bling and my sister have got to be in there somewhere. Let's do this!"
"I DON'T THINK SO BUTTHOLE!" shrieked out while something massive dropped from the top of the sky-scrapper. It smashed into the ground and created a massive dust cloud. When it cleared, the four could see a massive spider like machine standing before them. Its long rectangular body held a glass case, and inside this case was Cartman. "You Jews aren't getting any farther! I'm gonna kill you, grind you into chili and feed you to the ginger's!"
"Cartman! What the hell happened to you!" Kyle exclaimed after he got a good look at his enemy. Cartman looked paler, and seemed almost frail. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the glass case Cartman is controlling the machine from is not a cockpit, but a life-support tank.
"That stupid asshole Mandark spilled acid on me! That's what happened! But enough talking, I'm finally gonna kill you Kyle!"

Mac, Bloo and Numbah 363 were standing in front of the Sand Castle. Mac walked up and was about to knock when a voice rang out. "Look! A group of foolish peasants dares to approach the castle of King Sandy!" the three of them looked up to see three of Sandy's armored knight cousins looking down on them from the ramparts.
"Uh, sure. Hey, can we come in?" asked Mac.
"HA! Only those invited by King Sandy himself or the queen may enter the royal castle! Begone, or we shall... what is this?" the knight exclaimed, but his tone became inquisitive when he saw Bloo.
"It is another one of those strange creatures Queen Mushi enjoys the company of. LOWER THE DRAWBRIDGE!" the knight ordered, and the other two echoed his command. The gates crashed open, and the three walked inside.
"Nicely played Mac. You might be KND material after all!" Numbah 363 said.
"Uh, thanks. I think..." Mac replied, not sure if he had actually done anything.
"I hope they have paddle-ball here!" Bloo exclaimed, and the three continued on.

Inside the control ship, Numbah 1 was evading fire from Mandy, while Kuki was slowly advancing towards Numbah 4, no emotion on her face.
"Numbah 3... Kuki... you're not gonna hurt me, are you?" Numbah 4 asked, scared not for himself, but for what Numbah 3 would become if she remained The Reaper forever.
"Don'tcha remember all the good times we had together?" he asked, and Kuki began to seem uncertain. "Christmas, beatin' up bad guys... and that time we went to the Rainbow Monkey theme park? That was great!" he said somewhat insincerely as Kuki began moving towards him.
"She can't hear you anymore Wally. She is now the absolute embodiement of heartless despair." Mandy taunted.
"Well if we're going down, you're coming with us!" Nigel shouted as he fired a sudden mustard blast into the right gatling laser, causing it to spark and then explode, damaging Mandy's contraption beyond repair.
Mandy snarled. "It dosen't matter how much you hurt me. As long as I have Death under my control, I AM IMMORTAL!" she exclaimed. "Nothing can kill me, nothing can tear my soul from my body and toss me into the underworld. As long as the tinniest flicker of fear is alive in the universe, I shall survive. Grim, DESTROY THEM!"
Kuki raised her Scythe, and just as she was about to bring it down, Wally pulled something out from behind his back. "Hey Kooks, look. It's your Mr. Huggykins doll. Remember the good times we had with that?" Kuki brought down the Scythe, but only succeeded in destroying the stuffed animal.
Numbah 4 held the bisected halves of Mr. Huggykins in each hand, looking back and forth between the upper and lower body in dismay. "Well that didn't work." he said quietly as Kuki raised the Scythe for another swing. "Only one thing I can do now..."

Back in Sandy's city, everything was quiet outside the Sand Castle. Suddenly, the drawbridge was smashed open by a screaming Eduardo, Mac and Numbah 363 clinging to his fur. The purple Spanish-speaking friend had his face covered in makeup and much of his fur had ribbons tied into them.
Next out was Wilt, who muttered "sorry" whenever he stepped on or banged into something. CoCo came out next, chattering away as Bloo rode on her back.
"AAAAAHHHHHH! AAAAAAHHHHHHH! AAAAAHHHHHH!" Eduardo screamed as he rampaged across the beach, smashing everything.
"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS THING!" Numbah 363 exclaimed as he did his best to hold on.
"EVERYTHING WAS GONNA WORK OUT FINE, BUT NNNNOOOOO, YOU HAD TO GO IN GUNS BLAZING AND FREAK ED OUT!" Mac shouted back. "WAIT, WHERE'S CHEESE!"
"FIRE!" shouted King Sandy, and a massive catapult inside the castle fired the previously mentioned friend into the sand near the escaping children. "EXCELLENT! We got rid of him. Now go get some real ammo!"
"I like cereal."

Back in Cartmantropolis, the four children were doing everything in their power to fight the fat kid's (hey, I'm just big-boned!) mechanical monster. Lee attacked with his yo-yo, Johnny fired rockets and lasers his sisters built, Kyle struck with his nun-chucks, and Sonya... did her best (combat's not really her thing)
Johnny fired a barrage of rockets at Cartman, pushing his machine back. Lee jumped to the left, and wrapped his yo-yo around one of the walker's legs. The leg snapped into the air and tossed Numbah 84 into a wall. Sonya ran up to her fallen comrade and pulled him out of the dust.
Suddenly, Kyle got an idea. "Johnny, hit him hard on the front right leg." the fiery headed boy nodded and fired a rather high powered laser pistol into the designated leg. While the robot was stumbling around, Kyle ran up and smashed his nun-chucks into the part where the leg bent. This was enough to shatter the leg, severely hampering the robots mobility.
"GAH! Damn it you stupid Jew, I'm gonna kill you!" Cartman shouted, then rammed his walker into Kyle, tossing him into a wall. He then took aim at Johnny and fired a stream of red lasers at the boy, blasting him through the air and scattering his weapons. He then turned his sights towards Numbahs 83 and 84. "Get ready to die you stupid Eskimo!" he said before firing a vicious black laser towards 84.
"LEE!" cried Sonya, as she jumped forward and pushed him out of the way, taking the hit herself. She flew a short distence, twitched, then became still.
"SONYA!" shouted Lee in sadness. His grief turned into rage when he heard Cartman laughing.
"AAAAhhhh!" the fat boy mocked. "Is the dumb Eskimo sad because I killed his girlfriend?" Screaming with rage, Lee lepta into the air and smashed his yo-yo into the glass case protecting Cartman with enough force to shatter it. Cartman rolled from the wreckage, and the machine fell on its side with no one operating it.
Lee walked slowly towards the fallen fat boy, his whole body shaking with rage. Cartman lay on the pavement, coughing up blood. "Guess what Eskimo? I can't die. None of us can. Mandy's made the Grim Reaper into her slave. You hear me Eskimo? NONE OF US CAN DIE! Bet you didn't know that, huh you dumb snowman?" with this, Cartman broke out into psychotic laughter.
Lee, undettered by the fat boy's remarks, got ready to beat him into a pulp, when Johnny said something that made stop in his tracks. "Numbah 84, she's still breathing!" Johnny exclaimed, causing him to rush back to her side. "I'm gonna go find my sister, she can help!" the firey headed kid said before taking off.
"Sonya..." Lee said quietly while he held the injured girl close.
A short distance away, Cartman was crawling slowly towards the Glock 17 pistol he always kept in his pocket. It had fallen loose when he fell from the mechanical monstrosity. His hand was a few inches away from retrieving the weapon, when Kyle stepped in and kicked it away. The Jewish boy looked down at his "friend" and shook his head in disgust. "It was never enough for you to just win, was it? You've never been happy about gaining something unless you were taking it from someone else. Well, I hope you're happy now." he said profoundly before walking away.
"I... I hate you Kyle." Cartman wheezed before passing out.

Back on board Mandy's ship, Kuki prepared to strike down Numbah 4 once and for all when the Australian lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Kuki, and said "I...love... you." in his best Mr. Huggykins voice.
Abruptly, Kuki began to change. The darkness seemed to leave her, her face, clothes and eyes seeming to grow lighter. The light suddenly engulfed the girl, changing her flowing black robe into her trademark green sweater. His face went from hollow bastion of sadness to the glittering fountain of light that her friends were so used to.
The Scythe fell to the ground, and the corrupted Tie, repelled by the light, separated itself and began to crawl away, its under-developed bow-tie form now horribly mutated by darkness, with strange red and black growths leaking all kinds of acid goo.
None of that mattered to the three KND operatives though. Numbah 3 and Numbah 4 stared into each others eyes, knowing and understanding that they loved one another without words. Even Numbah 1, who thought of both as strictly friends, was moved by the scene.
For those with hearts of evil and hate however, such a scene exists only as a distraction. Mandy lunged forward and grabbed the wretched young tie, and crushed it between her hands. Darkness immediately filled her being, unlocking the blackest, shadow-drenched corners of her soul. Her form became a red and black outline, growing in horrible and unspeakable ways.
That was when Numbahs 2 and 5 ran in. "Numbah 1!" the pilot shouted, "We beat the enemy fleet, and Numbah 5 lead Dexter to the first bomb, so we... please tell me I'm in the wrong room."
Mandy had finally stopped changing. She now resembled a massive black and red cloud, towering over her enemies as a towering symbol of darkness.
"Kids Next Door..." Numbah 1 spoke slowly, knowing the fight seemed hopeless. "BATTLE STATIONS!"
The five children lepta into battle, bravely attacking Mandy, now darkness incarnate, with everything they had. The battle was quickly growing hopeless though...

Elsewhere, Dexter worked with the utmost delicacy to disarm the nuclear bombs Mandy had planted as a last resort. He had just cut the last circuit when the speakers all over the city crackled to life.
In every city, every digital screen was filled by static, then presented the image of Mandark on every surface, while his voice was transmitted from every speaker.
"Attention citizens! If you are watching this, then Mandy has attempted to activate the nuclear devices that she has built, without your knowledge, inside the cities. Luckily for you, I, Mandark, boy genius, have disarmed ALL of them! Mandy does not care about your well-being! Overthrow her, and make ME! your leader!"
The child inhabitents immidiatly broke into conversation with one another, talking and debating about what to do. Slowly but surely, however, a single, unified chant brokeout in all the settlements.
"DOWN WITH MANDY! DOWN WITH MANDY! DOWN WITH MANDY!"

Back in the throne room, Mandy suddenly began to feel weak. Her power was fading!
"What's happening!" Numbah 4 asked.
"Numbah 5 don't know, but keep it up baby!" and the five pressed the attack.
Back in Cartmantropolis, Lee looked over Sonya as Susan Test did her best to treat her injuries. He held Sonya's hand tight, and began to hope for her life from the bottom of his heart.
Inside the City of Sand, Mushi briefly stopped her current action of aiming the massive catapult at the fleeing imaginary friends. She didn't know why, but at that moment she felt a wave of honest concern for her sister's well being and began to hope for her safety.
All across the world, the parents of all the children so bravely fighting for justice high in space suddenly felt concern for their children. They immediately stopped what they were doing and began to hope for the safety of the children.
"I don't know how, but something is weakening her. We have to keep fighting!" declared Numbah 1. Mandy was weakening, but was also becoming more and more formless, almost to the point where the entire black and red room WAS Mandy. The fight was still far from over though...
(KND symbol)
Deep in the bowels of the Space Station, The Tommy lurked through the corridors, keeping a sharp eye out for any evil-doers to fight. It was then that he noticed a suspicious door. He slowly opened it, and found himself looking at an incredibly large and complicated machine that took up most of the room.
"Huh, I wonder what this does?" Tommy asked while pressing a big red button on the front of the machine. An alarm immediately began to screech "warning, dimensional pocket de-activated. Inter-dimensional travel now possible."
"Oh boy, wrong turn!" Tommy said startled while running away, not realizing he had saved them all...
Now that extra-dimensional travel was possible, every last Fairy Godparent came rushing back to Earth. Immediately locating the source of the darkness, the Fairies unleashed a wave of light against Mandy, eradicating every last trace of black power from her.
Inside a mad boy's personal playground, the wave of light washes over Sonya. She immediately opens her eyes, looks up at Lee, and smiles. He smiles back, and they both share a kiss.
Cartman, still bleeding on the concrete, begins to make gagging noises until Kyle hit him over the head with one of his nun-chucks.
The Fairies magic spreads still farther, and encompasses every last boy and girl who had been deceived by Mandy's lies. They are warped from their well-painted prisons and deposited home.
One last wisp of magic trailed down to Earth, and floated to a smoking pile of metal and machinery that was once a fighter plane. It's pilot, The Kid, lay several feet away, groaning on the ground in pain. The little wisp of light lands on his forehead and spreads down his body, healing his wounds and freeing him from the Tie's mind control.
Then, once every last drop of light had gone to its intended recipent, a massive yellow cloud covered the Earth, and everything POOFED back to normal.
Everything, that is, except for a strange, skull shaped ship orbiting the Earth, and the six children aboard.
"So, what do we do with her captain?" Numbah 2 asked. He was referring to Mandy, who lay on the floor, unable to move a muscle from the massive damage her body endured acting as the embodiment of all the universe's evil.
"I say we just shove her out an airlock." Numbah 4 grumbled.
"She's nothing more then a criminal now, and will be treated as such." Numbah 1 stated. "Mandy, by the authority given to me by KND Global Command, I am placing you under arrest."
"no...NO!" Mandy exclaimed, and with a sudden surge of energy, she lepta for the only way out her damaged mind could see: the Eternal Safety Capsule. Numbah 1 rushed forward and attempted to pull the pod open, intent on arresting Mandy.
"That won't work." said Numbah 3. "The Eternal Safety Capsule is built to keep whoever is inside it in for eternity, in complete safety. The only thing that could open it was Mandy's voice command, but it won't work from the inside..."Everyone became quiet once they had fully processed Mandy's horrible fate. "Not even Death can get in..." mumbled Numbah 4.
After a full minute of uncomfortable silence, Numbah 1 asked, "soooo, what's gonna happen with the Scythe?" he asked.
"I'll be taking it back, if ya don't mind!" came a grumpy Jamaican voice. The five kids looked over to see Grim and Billy stepping through a green swirly vortex. "Let us never mention that shortcut again mon." he said quietly to Billy.
Billy nodded glumely, then caught sight of the KND. "Hey, you're not the Power Puff Girls!" he shouted.
"No Billy, no we're not." Numbah 1 sighed. "They were outside the whole time fighting Mandark's fleet."
"C'mon Billy, let's go. I'm missin' me favorite shows!" Grim said while grabbing his Scythe and making a new portal, which the two left in.
"Should we have mentioned Mandy?" Numbah 5 asked.
"Naw, they'll figure it out sooner or later." Numbah 2 replied.
"Well team, we'd better get back home." Numbah 1 said, and the five began to walk towards the hanger boy.
"Yeah! After all, the sooner we get home, the sooner my new booyyfriend can go on a date with me!" Numbah 3 exclaimed happily while wrapping an arm around Numbah 4. The other three operatives just giggled.
"Ugh, you guys are never gonna let me live this down, are yeah?" Numbah 4 groaned. But though he seemed annoyed on the outside, deep down, he was happy. He had the girl of his dreams, Mandy could never threaten anyone ever again, and he had full confidence that he had just won his greatest battle.
"After all," he thought, "what could possibly top THAT!"
(KND symbol)
Somewhere, inside a hidden room of dimly glowing computer screens, a new threat is reading a stream of information scroll by. "Well, this is surprising." said a voice laced with malice. "Well, that doesn't mean the party is over, its just shifted locations. And that calls for a few invitations!"
Mad laughter echoed through the lair.
Transmission interrupted...
Author's notes: Done. Undoubtedly the longest, hardest chapter I've ever written for anything ever. In the end, good will always defeat evil, and now Mandy must spend all of eternity trapped completely by herself.
If you're wondering why Cartman called Lee an Eskimo, it was because of his hat. (Stupid racist fat kid)
And it seems that a new enemy shall rise from the ashes and carry on the battle against good. That will be my next fic, and will be appearing in the Cartoon Crossover section.
This little number is gonna be one more chapter long. Just wanna put in an epiloge to wrap everything up.
