Chapter 9.

Harvey: LAZYPENCILLENDER DOESN'T OWN KND. ALL SHE OWNS IS STUPID ANGIE AND THE STUPID PLOT AND STUPID WRITING.

Angie: *kicks Harvey*

Harvey: DON'T. TOUCH. ME.

Angie; This is my favorite chapter. Hehe!

Harvey: BURN IT LAZY PENCIL.

Me: T_T No. back in the story, insolent children.

"Okay. Here's the plan. Nigel and I aren't small enough to get all the way up there. We need you to go up and get the explosive into Mega mom's ear." Rachel said. "Once you do that, Nigel and I will knock her down. With any luck, we'll be able to eliminate the original and all her copies."

Number four nodded feverously.

"We'll also use a distraction. That'll be Angie. She'll swing across as you climb up, and she'll jump on Mega mom. That will distract her. You need to get up and get to the highest platform. Once you get a clear shot at her ear, throw it. The explosive should go inside, and blow up there, distracting the woman operating the machine." Nigel nodded along.

"So Rachel, after the explosion, you and I will jump across onto Mega mom. We'll knock her down, and she'll collapse. She'll probably take a good portion of the moon base out. Once that's done, we'll have the entire KND go towards her and force her defeat."

Rachel nodded. "Yes, that's correct." She looked at Number four. "Got it?"

Number four, who regrettably wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, slowly nodded. "So basically I go up, toss this in 'er ear, and wait for it to 'splode?"

Nigel and Rachel nodded.

"Sounds good." Number four said. At that moment, Mega mom turned to the side. She shook the rafters, causing the lifts to shake violently. Rachel stumbled forward into Nigel, Nigel fell backwards and nearly hit his head on a pipe. Number four stumbled and almost fell 5 stories- almost. He held himself firm and lifted himself up.

Due to the hit from mega mom, Rachel had been blown face first into Nigel. Causing Number four to return to a lip lock.

"WHAT THE CRUD?" Number four exclaimed. Numbers 1 and 362 were flabbergasted. They had no idea what was happening. Quickly, number 362 pulled away, clamping her hands to her mouth. Her entire face was red.

"I-I-I'm sorry, really I am! I had no idea what-"

"It's all right." Number one said quietly. "it was an accident."

He had a gleam in his eyes that Rachel couldn't quite place. She blinked. Number four groaned. "Ewwww." he muttered. "I knew you liked the supreme commander, but I didn't know you'd do that number one!" he started to climb.

"Wait…he knew you liked the supre- I mean, me?" Rachel asked. Nigel gasped. "E-Ehm, Rachel, I-"

"Me?" Rachel asked. She wasn't hurt by it. She was shocked. And she seemed happy, excited even. Nigel scratched the back of his neck.

"Well…uhm…."

Rachel smiled lightly. "You don't have to answer right now," She said. "But after this battle ends, and when we win, I want an honest answer."

Her heart pounded. She was this close. He might like her back. It wasn't a ghost of a chance anymore. She had started to put the pieces together.

She aimed her mustard cannon at the opposite wall, and fired it, setting the signal for Angie. Her eyes never left Nigels, unaware that they had a couple of onlookers.

Across form Nigel and Rachel was Angie. She was preparing herself to be the distraction. She adjusted her belt, fixed her skirt, and buttoned her sweatshirt. She glanced back at the others across. Number four had just arrived. They were conversing about the plan.

Shuffling and the sound of feet made their way to her ears. Angie took a explosive and aimed to her left, where the sound came from. She saw Harvey, who had just climbed his way up to where she was. She was still prepared to throw it

"Jeez, Angie, put down that thing!" He huffed, sitting down.

"Aww. I wanted to blow something up! STUPID HARVEY, GETTING IN MY WAY!" Angie complained. After a little while, Angie addressed another issue. "Lizzie came here today." Angie said. She glanced over at Harvey. He scoffed. "Yea. What about it?"

"She came to help Nigel. And she got in the way." Angie shrugged. "I think she's ready to give up~." Harvey growled.

"And how do you know that?"

"I don't know, I think." Angie said. Harvey then went silent. Angie sat back down, tucking her arms over her knees. She looked to Rachel, Number 4, and Nigel and a large grin passed over her face, followed by a giggle.

"Harvey, look over there." Angie said. "Aren't they SOOOO cute?"

Harvey looked over and he instantly regretted it. It was the lip lock. "W-W-What the heck?" Harvey asked. He was at a loss for words. "How- this- this is a battle! Not a romantic kiss fest!" he growled. Angie looked at him. Then she hit him upside the head.

"HEY! IF THEY WANT TO BE IN LOVE, THAY CAN BE IN LOVE!" She said, then she grinned. "Love is wonderful!"

Harvey gagged. "The heck do you know about love?" He growled, watching as number four ascended the ladder. Angie turned back to Harvey.

"Guess what!" She asked. Harvey sighed, feeling miserable. "Whaaaaaaaat?"

"I'm the distraction!" Angie spoke proudly, puffing her chest out. Harvey looked at her. "I get to fly across and distract Mega mom!" She elaborated. Then her eyes reopened, and she looked at the (rather depressed) Harvey. He was muttering about how stupid Nigel was and how battles and kissing do not mix. Angie grinned wildly.

She turned to Harvey. "Since I might dieeeee~"

"Oh PLEEEEASE." Harvey said, folding his arms. Angie puffed her cheeks out.

"Give me that kiss now." She commanded. Harvey blinked. "The one you owe me, since Rachel pretty much won."

"No way! Don't touch me!" Harvey backed up a little, color rising to his cheeks. His arms were at his sides, gripping the bottom of the rafter. Angie lent towards him and grabbed his shirt collar, pulling him into a kiss. Harvey didn't say anything- he didn't even move. He wasn't even breathing. He blinked twice. Angie giggled, before she pulled away.

"I even made it easier. See, I kissed you." She said. Harvey was speechless. Angie stood up, and looked at him. She tossed another bomb down, before preparing little device that gave her rocket wings, so she could fly in the air.

"When this is over, I expect another kiss. This time, one from you." She said, setting her rocket wings up.

Harvey slowly returned to consciousness. "D-D-D-D-D-D-DD-D-D-O-ON'T T-TOUCH ME, ANGIE!" he yelled. His cheeks were flaming red, just like his older sisters still were, a few feet away. "DON'T YOU EVER T-T-TOUCH ME!"

"I DIDN'T TOUCH YOU, I KISSED YOU!" Angie yelled, loud enough for the whole KND to hear. Harvey scrambled to the edge, watching as she burst up with her rocket.

Harvey wanted to go and die. But this was a battle, he could do that later. He sighed.

"DON'T KISS ME, EITHER!"

Angie burst into laughter as she tossed explosives at mega mom. Harvey folded his arms and glared at Nigel and Rachel. "KISSING AND BATTLES DO NOT MIX!"

Rachel looked sheepish across the way, Nigel folded his arms and muttered 'hypocrite' under his breath. Harvey didn't catch it at all.

Mega mom shrieked. At that very moment, number four grew closer and closer to her ear….

Number five and Number two were relived to find that the mega moms were retreating some. It was getting tiring, continuously fighting them.

Number five lent against the wall, looking at where they were going. All the megas were moving towards the main body…Nigel and Rachels plan was obviously underway.

Numbers 86 and 60 approached the other operatives.

"Number 86, sir!" Hoagie said. Number 86 rolled her eyes.

"We were jus' wonderin where the stuuupid androids were headin'." Number 86 said. Patton grinned beside her.

"Why? Fall in love with one?"

"You're stupid, stupid boy."

Patton looked back at Number five. "The Supreme Commander…?"

"She went up there to fight the main mega." Number five said. "Numbers 4 and one are with her, too." Patton nodded, and tapped Kuki's shoulder. Kuki had been shooting at random foes (and occasionally she missed and hit an operative).

"Number three, calm down." Patton instructed. "Okay guys, what should we do?"

"Well," Number two said. "We were kind of planning on looking for Lizzie…I mean, we were supposed to protect her." he admitted. Number five nodded.

"Well then, we'll help you!" Patton said, draping an arm around Fanny's shoulder. Fanny tried to shake it off.

"Stupid boy." She said. "Don' say 'we' so easily." She said. Patton shrugged and looked back at Numbers 2 and 5. Number 3 had calmed down, and looked at the others with a bright smile.

"Let's find her. Tell all the other operatives to look for her. She's gotta be around here somewhere..." number five said. The others nodded, before running off in five different directions.

Lizzie didn't really know what she was supposed to do.

Rachel had told her to be protected by the other operatives. But Lizzie just couldn't sit around and do absolutely nothing while her Nigel was in danger! Both of getting hurt…and of being stolen away. Lizzie turned away from the others, and ran out of the cluster of replicas.

She looked as the others fought, and she wondered if there was a way around the cluster to the mega mom. She moved to the back, as someone was handing out weapons to operatives. Suddenly, a thing that looked like a hairdryer was shoved into her hands.

"I…"

"That's a graveling hook, basically. Its basic equipment, newbie. With that, you can launch yourself deeper into the cluster by hooking it onto the rafter." the frantic operative said. Lizzie ran off, glancing down at the gravellier thing.

"I can get to Nigel with this!" She said. "And then I can help him. I'll win, for sure." She was mostly trying to convince herself by this point. "I will…because…he loves me…"

"Do you need any help, newbie?" A matter-of-fact sounding voice asked her. She groaned. Already, this person sounded really annoying.

"Not really." She lied.

"You're looking at that think like it's got two heads. You have no idea how to use it, do you?" Lizzie turned to face the speaker. He was a boy, wearing a spaghetti strainer on his head labeled 65.3. He was adjusting his glasses, one hand on his hip. He was a genuine nerd. Lizzie wanted to groan.

"What's your number, kid?" 65.3 asked.

"Uhm…" Lizzie said. "I'm…number….uhm?" She said. The operative in front of her blinked.

"You're that girl who's not supposed to be here. What's your name?" he recognized the braids. Lizzie groaned.

"I'm Lizzie! And, I can help! Nigel needs my help! So leave me alone, nerdo!" Lizzie said, moving towards the crowd. Who did this little prissy pants think he was? Bossing her around, calling her newbie, saying it as if she was a disgusting bug.

"Nigel? You mean number one?" Number 65.3 asked. "He's working with Number 362 to defeat mega mom as we speak. You have nothing to worry about."

"I have EVERYTHING to worry about!" Lizzie screeched. "My Nigie is going to win, of course. But then what about AFTER that? He'll pick Rachel…and then I won't be able to hang around with him anymore! I'll lose his heart to her!" Lizzie folded her arms over her chest. "Don't talk to me like you're so high and mighty, nerdo. Because you aren't any better than me!" Lizzie huffed, stomped to him, and jabbed her forefinger in his chest.

"I will help Nigel. So don't get in my way." Lizzie growled, storming past him and brushing his shoulder. Number 65.3 watched her retreat.

"Wait, let me help you!"

"I don't need your help!" Lizzie replied.

"Oh. Then you'll just operate that thing with will power?" Lizzie stopped, and slowly turned.

"Fine." Number 65.3 moved up to her, and started to explain the workings of the gravellier. He told her where to aim it, and what to do once she was in the air to catch up to Nigel.

"By the way," he said. "I'm Herbie."

Lizzie scoffed, and fired the gravellier. She kicked herself up, and just as she was about to launch herself to the rafters, she turned back to Herbie.

"You're still nerdo to me." She was off. Herbie grinned.

"Well, she's got spunk, doesn't she? Nigel's sure got his hands full with her."

Nigel grinned. He was watching Angie flail about in front of mega mom, shouting obnoxiously loud and inappropriate things. Mega mom tried to swat at her like she was a fly, but she kept missing the tiny girl.

"Hold still!" Mega mom said, as if Angie would actually listen.

"NA NA NA NA NAAAAAA." Angie said. "Your butt is HUGE. Did you want that to happen?" Mega mom shrieked and swatted. "Insolent girl!"

"Ohhh, that purse is just like the one we buried with my grandma!"

"STUPID BRAT!"

"Ohh. You've got a good swing. Are you sure you're not a man?"

"GAUSHDFF!"

"She's got quite the mouth." Rachel retorted. "But she is doing her job. Mega mom is furious at her." Rachel laughed. "It's really funny, isn't it?"

Nigel nodded. "Yea. And Rachel, about before…" He sighed. "I'd really appreciate it if you didn't tell Lizzie just yet. I can't really guarantee Number four will be quiet, but…"

Rachel raised her eyebrows.

"Nigel, I'll be frank with you. The fact you want to hide it will only make it that much more suspicious to her. If you tell her out front, then she'll understand."

"She won't." Nigel said. "She won't understand, I know it. She's…I…" he sighed. "I think I want to end it with her. I know you told me to wait and see…but…I don't want to put up with her anymore."

Rachel nodded along, slowly.

"She gets jealous so easily. And recently, she's been hounding me about being around you…and…"

Rachel smiled a tiny bit.

"I suppose I'm to blame for the jealous bit, right?" She asked. "Want to know something?" Rachel said, letting out a sigh. "I don't really know how much you'll like hearing this, but Lizzie and I were fighting over you."

Nigel tilted his head.

"Come again, Rachel?"

"We were having a competition over you." Rachel said.

Nigel gasped.

"You…what?" He finally choked out. "How…could…she, and you? Did you ever once think of how I'd feel about this?"

"Every minute of every day." Rachel said. "I'm sorry, Nigel."

Nigel glanced to the side. Then, back at Rachel.

"Before we have to attack Mega mom, I want you to explain everything. Everything, Rachel." Nigel said lowly. Rachel gave a weak smile.

"I figured you'd want to know. And I also figured you'd be mad."

Nigel said nothing in response, just awaited her explanation.
