It's time we get a good overview on the Third Gen's Top Sector!
The Top Sector's Coach
Sector V Treehouse
Sector V was known by all kids as the Top Sector of the Kids Next Door. This was true in Nigel Uno's era, in the Nextgen Era, and now the children of the previous generation were working to uphold the legacy. Though they had been on no world-saving missions, yet, they were already remarkable as a team and had accomplished great feats. They were the most popular kids at Gallagher Elementary; the school itself was famous for having them as students.
Almost each member was famous or unique in their own way. Their leader, Jason Dimalanta, was the son of a legendary pirate. Christina Uno was simply famous for being an Uno, yet despite her family being natural-born leaders, she only assumed the role of vice-leader. Ralph Gilligan was the son of a prince from another planet; he looked the part of a prince, was filthy rich, yet was open and friendly with his peers. But perhaps richer than him was Silica York, one of the top gamers in the universe and the daughter of Carol Masterson, the developer of the KND game series.
Jason was also distinct for his non-human traits, his raccoon ears and tail. Besides him, another distinct member was Isabelle Rivera, who looked and dressed like a Native American of the old days, but possessed the angel wings of a Nimbi. Trella Dunfree was especially odd, a green-skinned alien with magenta hair, two antennae, an orange dress, and fluffy magenta socks. She was mute and always kept her eyes closed, possessing a peaceful, gentle air about her.
But the member who popped out the most was Mali Anderson: she was a literal giant and could barely fit in her kindergarten class. At 6 years old, she was their newest and youngest member, but she was a remarkably heavy hitter with her poisonbending. Despite being bigger than her teammates, Mali was rather shy and meek at times, especially when Christina shouted at her.
Their remarkable backgrounds implied great esteem, and their weird, quirky appearances and diverse personalities showed an open, friendly air between them. Topped with their individual talents, these nine operatives were the role models of the KND, the ones that all operatives could rely on.
Once school was over (and assuming no missions had intervened), some students would watch as Sector V returned home to their treehouse, the base where legends were made. Some could only imagine what sort of training or discussions go on in there. During recess, Jason and Christina would sometimes get in fights that would shake the grounds and even dent cracks, or maybe Jason would race Isabelle around the building, both naturally swift on their feet.
However, after school, the team's most mature member would take charge during this time: Laruta Grayson. She was short and slightly pudgy, wearing a gray sweatshirt, pants, and shoes. She had big square glasses and sandy-blonde hair in a messy ponytail. Though she was short and cute-looking, she was always pumped for a workout. Every day, she would instruct her teammates to meet in her room, a fitness center with mats, punching bags, and wide mirrors.
Laruta was the type to change her clothes after every mission or school day, believing that clean attire helped her stay vigilante. She didn't make her teammates do the same, but she encouraged them to have their shoes off in the gym, thinking it was best to air their feet out after a long day.
"Alright, gang, is everyone present?" Laruta announced to her team like a teacher in class. "Let's do a roll call!"
"Captain Jason is here for training!" The leader grinned and saluted.
"Isabelle Rivera, here as always!" the half-Shandian reported.
"Ralph Gilligan, present!" the prince announced.
"Shimmy-chan here!" the pilot sported a big grin. Shimmy had black hair in pigtails, a white jacket, and a pink dress with red polka-dots.
Trella smiled and gave a bow.
"Mali here. Hi." The giant waved.
"Alright, we're still missing two more." Laruta clapped.
"Ugh." Christina moaned. "We're right here, this is stupid."
Silica was turned away, her fingers tapping her handheld game. Narrowing her spectacled eyes, Laruta marched around and snatched her game. "YOOOUUUU!" Silica's shadow, Inky wrapped around and hissed at Laruta viciously. "Give that back NOW!"
"You'll have time for games later. Now, it's time for exercise. You can't let your body grow stiff, so let's get started. Hoh!" Laruta stomped and thrusted a fist.
Compared to the harshness of missions or the boredom of school, or even the action that takes place on a playground, Sector V's gym was a relaxing environment with good air condition. Their workouts were much more calm and simple compared to what they usually do. Trella was bending her legs at various angles and poses. These exercises were common for her, so she adapted the best in gym. Ralph was thrusting his fists at a punching bag, and Shimmy was punching another bag in a more rapid fashion.
"I'mma punch more than you, Ralph-kun!" Shimmy shouted.
"Shimmy, this isn't a contest!" Laruta stated scoldingly. "Pace yourself appropriately. We're trying to balance ourselves, not exhaust ourselves."
"Meh, that's no fun." Shimmy groaned, punching more slowly.
"Look, Laruta!" Mali yelled. "I can do three flips!" The child bent back, planted her hands on the floor, flipped her legs up, planted them back down, and repeated the process twice more.
"Very good, Mali!"
Jason was doing sit-ups while Isabelle was holding his feet down. "Make sure to breathe, Captain. You have to take proper breaths."
"Hehe, aye-aye!" Jason grinned at his friend. "Make sure you do the same!"
"Hehe, sí! It's my turn, anyhow~" Isabelle lied down next, and Jason held her feet as the Nimbi sat up and down.
Laruta smiled at their teamwork. …She frowned and looked over to Christina and Silica, who were lazily stretching a single leg. Laruta approached them and said, "You two aren't pulling your weight. Or in this case, losing it. Put your whole bodies into it! Hoh!"
"Hey, I dunno about Sill, but I don't frickin' need this." Christina stated. "I'm one of the strongest kids. I can beat up a whale! I get way more fill of exercise every mission than I do from these silly workouts."
"Those kinds of missions only cause stress to your physical and mental wellbeing. This exercise is supposed to be relaxing. It's like a gentle massage for our muscles, and we got a safe, clean environment and good friends to do it with." She thrusted her fists and swung her legs. "Hoh!"
"Yeah, well if your routine was any good, you wouldn't be so puny, Shorty." Christina pressed a finger to Laruta's nose and pushed her onto her rear. "Y'know what, I got better things to do." She went to grab her sandals before marching out of the room.
Laruta could only glare after her. Compared to herself, Christina was much thinner and taller, and her great strength complimented her fit figure. It was no wonder she didn't think she needed the exercise, and Laruta could barely find it in her to argue. "…Come on, Silica, let's be workout buddies."
"I want my game back."
"Exercise is good for your brain! You wanna have your brain pumped to beat all those levels, right?" Laruta stretched back up and began to march in place. "Come on, march with me!" She sported a vigorous smirk. "Stomp those feet, pump your legs, pump it up, pump it, pump it, hoh!"
"God, your perky attitude is annoying. You're not even the leader and you always act like you're in charge of everything. Frankly, Christina is right, the whole reason you do this is just to feel self-pride because you're a complete pushover in a real fight."
"I am not! I may not be a superhuman, but I've got a lot of stamina. You're pretty strong yourself, Sill, but if you just do what I do, you would be amazing."
"I'll show you amazing." Silica sent Inky and gnashed against Laruta, the instructor screaming as the shadow tore up her clothes. Inky returned and spat Silica's game back into her hands. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a record to beat." And she marched away on that note.
The others looked upon Lar with sympathy and approached her. Trella kindly helped her to stand. "Thank you, Trella. I'm alright."
"They didn't hurt your feelings, did they?" Mali asked.
"Want me to give 'em a good sock in the nose?" Jason fist-palmed.
"That's okay, Jason. I feel like trying to make them will just make them more angry. The whole reason we do this is to clear our heads and refresh our minds. It's supposed to make us happier. I just wish they knew that."
"Eh, if they don't wanna be happy, that's their problem." Shimmy stated.
"But we're supposed to be the Top Sector. We have to be physically and mentally ready at all times. Those two are just… making us look bad."
"Oi don't really care about looking good." Jason shrugged. "If those blokes are happy with their selves, fine, but this is supposed to be a team exercise! It don't mean anything if the whole crew ain't here!"
"I know, Jason, but I don't want to stress over it for now." Laruta faced her teammates with a smile. "But I've sure got some stress to burn off now. I need someone to punch, who's up for it?!"
"Ralph-chan needs it!" Shimmy pushed him forward.
"W-wait, me?!"
"Dukes up, Ralphy! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Laruta began thrusting her fists against the prince, Ralph raising his palms in defense. Laruta simply punched around the palms and hit his stomach, Ralph grunting each time. "Everyone else, thrust those fists!" With ecstatic grins, the others lined up and punched back and forth in synchronized fashion.
Christina and Silica had gone to the living room. The Uno was lain on the couch with Silica at the other end, hooked on her game. "Gah, dammit." She mumbled after making a slip-up. "Ugh…now I can't even focus." Silica put her game down and lied on the floor. "Huu…rrr…" She struggled to sit herself up, her pudgy body stuck in an obtuse angle. "Hey, Chris… can you hold my legs down?"
"Seriously? Fine…" Christina got to her knees and held Sill's legs. The gamer moaned in stress, feeling her back straining in her mission to sit up.
"Man, your socks stink." Chris cringed. "Is that the same pair from yesterday?"
"The past week, actually."
"Gross!" Chris got up and stomped away, Sill plopping on her back. "Go and change first, I need to take a bath."
"…Inky, pull me up…" Silica requested from her position on the floor.
Also, there's no Sector W7 in the Third Gen. Their children merged with Sector V, except Gabriel, who started his own sector.
