Chapter 52: Operation: J.A.C.K. (2):
Jack...
Against...
Crazy...
Kids...
Jack's POV:
The Galactic Kids Next Door are an interplanetery organization of children dedicated to ridding the Galaxy of adults. They plan to destroy the Earth to free the Universe of Aku. Dexter and I arrived on their Mother Ship and a plant like operative is meeting with us.
"My name is Numbuh Vine."
"And you are one of them," says Dexter.
"I am, but after meeting... someone, I don't want him to destroy his planet," says Numbuh Vine.
"And we are supposed to trust you," I asked.
"Just come with me," says Numbuh Vine.
Peter's POV:
We were meeting with Ra, Vishnu, and Odin.
"The Forces of Darkness are growing stronger," says Ra.
"That is why we have made this decision," says Vishnu.
"The two of you shall have your own weapons," says Odin.
"Really," asks Jill.
"So, where are they," I asked.
The three Gods then zapped us. "The Katana was forged from the power of righteousness extracted from the Samurai's Father's spirit. These weapons will be born from the same power, but from your spirits," says Ra.
"Kuromi also known as Jill," says Vishnu, "for you, the Tessens. They can slice as well as the sword and can be used as projectiles and can also act as shields."
"Kuroki also known as Peter," says Odin, "for you, the Yumi. This bow can fire energy arrows that can harm evil and they can explode as well."
Jill and I now have our weapons.
"You can try these weapons against the current threat," says Ra.
Jack's POV:
Numbuh Vine took us to a room.
"Where are we," asks Dexter.
"Numbuh 1's room," says Numbuh Vine. I looked at a picture. There was Numbuh 1 and some girl. I then looked at the names. Nigel Uno and Lizzie DeVine. Interesting. "He used to want to fight against evil, but then the Galactic Kids Next Door offered him a chance to eliminate Aku."
"There is something you are not telling us, is there," I asked.
"Well, look who's intruding," says Numbuh 1.
"Alright, Baldy," says Dexter, "the game is over!"
"Destroying the Earth, your home as much as ours is not the answer," I said.
"It's not anyone's home now," says Numbuh 1, "not as long as Aku rules."
"Nigie, this isn't the answer," says Numbuh Vine.
"What did you call me," asks Numbuh 1.
Numbuh Vine then turns herself into the girl in the picture. "It's me, Nigie."
"Lizzie... I... you're a Galactic Kids Next Door operative," asks Numbuh 1.
"It's why I kept trying to offer you a chance to quit," says Lizzie, "you don't have to be like the rest of us. I still miss my planet."
Numbuh 1 then looks away, and then he uses knock out gas on us.
. . .
I woke up and saw Dexter and I were in a strange room.
G:KND Operatives: You're probably so excited
Though you try to hide it
This will drive you crazy
We are the welcome service
And we know you're nervous
You're about to meet the leader of G:KND
You'll be blown away
So put your phone away.
You're gonna say, "Wow! Holy cow!"
You're about to meet him
He who reigns supre-im
You're about to meet him right...
After we open these doors
But, first, another chorus
'Cause we've still got some verses to sing
It's kind of entrancing
Have you noticed the dancing
But really, Peter's solo is everything
You're a lowly peasant
When you bask in the presence
But we'll give you this one solemn vow
You're about to meet him
He who reigns supre-im
You're about to meet him right...
Male Operative: After this message from our sponsor.
Female Operative: Brownie chip, the Brownie flavored potato chip.
Male Operative: Now, look at these lovely...
G:KND Operatives: Doors you're scoping,
Which we promise to open
'Cause that's just what you're hopin' we'll do
As we'll keep singin' this song
We know it's takin' so long...
Male Operative: Let's just open the door already.
We then saw the leader of the Galactic Kids Next Door. A large green brain with tentacles and three red eyes. "How many times do I have to tell you, I am not a he or a she, I am a they!"
"Sorry, Numbuh Aleph Zero," says an operative.
"Numbuh Vine, I am very disappointed in you," says Numbuh Aleph Zero.
"Well, I'm disappointed in what you're doing," says Numbuh Vine, "I mean, I did help before, but I have a change of heart!"
"And you must be Samurai Jack."
"So, it is you who leads this group," I said.
"Yes, I..."
"Hey, Numbuh Aleph Zero," says Billy, "I just left a big stinky in the basement!"
"Billy," says Dexter.
"Hey, the Samurai," says Billy, "guess what, I work for these guys now."
"Poor child," I said.
"Or whatever he is," says Dexter.
"ENOUGH," shouts Numbuh Aleph Zero, "throw them in... the Playroom!"
Dexter and I then fell down a trap door.
. . .
Dexter and I were in a child's room, but then three figures appeared. I then recognized them. "Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup," I asked.
"Jack," says Blossom, "what are you doing here?"
"We came here to stop the Galactic Kids Next Door," I said, "they wish to destroy the Earth!"
"What," says Buttercup, "that's nuts. We're going to destroy Aku!"
"And how do you think they're going to do that," asks Dexter, "by destroying the Earth!"
"Are we working with the bad guys," asks Bubbles.
Then there was a strange form of energy around the Girls, and they attacked us.
"I just realized they're wearing collars," says Dexter, "Aleph Zero must be using them to control the Girls!"
"I don't know if I can cut the collars without harming the girls," I said.
Then something was thrown at the girls and the collars were cut off. We looked and saw Jill holding a pair of Tessens and Peter with a Yumi.
"We got our own weapons," says Jill.
"That could help," I said.
"What happened," asks Blossom.
"We must go," I said.
Numbuh 1's POV:
Victor and Sumo arrived. "Samurai Jack," says Sumo, "Samurai Jack!"
"Do we get to meet him," asks Victor.
"Probably not," I said, "Numbuh Aleph Zero, what is to become of Lizzie?"
"Her name is Numbuh Vine, and she will be punished for her treason," says Numbuh Aleph Zero.
What is he going to do? I then looked at the Earth. My home.
Jack's POV:
We were making our escape when we saw two operatives. One of them was a tree.
"I wish he would appreciate us more, Numbuh Infinity."
"I know what you mean, Numbuh 74.239."
They then turned around and saw us. "Take us to your leader," I said.
. . .
"I am sorry it has come to this," says Numbuh Aleph Zero, "a pity, you were always like a little sister to me."
"What are you talking about," asks Numbuh Vine, "I'm three months older than you!"
"Goodbye..."
I then sliced whatever that machine was. "You will not kill her," I said.
"Actually, I was just going to erase her memories. This is a decommissioning chamber."
"Oh," I said.
"But I will gladly kill all of you, including Numbuh Vine!"
"Not so fast..." says Blossom.
"Numbuh..." says Buttercup.
"Aleph Zero," says Bubbles.
"You shall all suffer!"
He attacked us.
"If he is a kid," says Jill, "imagine what the adults are like."
"I've seen them," says Numbuh Vine, "they are huge!"
He started throwing us around. "It's time to end the virus of Adulthood," says Numbuh Aleph Zero.
"Adulthood is not a virus," says Dexter.
"STOP SAYING THAT," says Numbuh Aleph Zero.
Then something blasted him. It was Numbuh 1. "This ends now," says Numbuh 1. Billy and two other children were there.
"Yeah... I don't want to destroy the Earth," says Billy, "at least not until I get a snow cone and since I'm not getting one, I quit."
"I wanted to be a hero like Samurai Jack," says one boy.
"And my stuff is on Earth," says another one.
"Fools, don't any of you get it," says Numbuh Aleph Zero, "I am the Supreme Leader of the Galactic Kids Next Door! I am the Law here! I am..." I then grabbed one of his tubes and attached it to him while Numbuh 1 turns it on.
. . .
All the Galactic Kids Next Door operatives ceased their attacks.
"Hey, where's the bathroom," asks Alb g, formally known as Numbuh Aleph Zero.
"We'll let you know when we find a nice planet for you," says Numbuh Vine.
"So, you are not staying then," I asked.
"The Galactic Kids Next Door needs a new leader," says Numbuh 1, "one that can get them on the right path."
"Then I wish you luck, my young friend," I said.
"Maybe next time we meet, we will be friends," says Numbuh 1.
Then Numbuh Vine grabs Numbuh 1 and the two kiss, but it was a little uncomfortable for us because Numbuh Vine was a plant.
"This time period is weird," says Jill.
. . .
We were back at the Resistance Base. "Welcome to the Resistance, Billy," says Johnny.
"I won't let you down," says Billy.
"Can ya let me down," asks Johnny.
"Let's go," I said to Jill and Peter as the three of us got out our weapons.
Aku's POV:
I woke up from my 24-hour nap. "What did I miss," I asked.
"We were invaded by alien children," says Ashi.
"What," I asked.
"Billy's now with the Resistance," says Mandy.
"Well, at least I'm rid of that idiot," I said.
"And now Samurai Jack's friends have weapons of their own," says Viceroy.
"WHAT," I asked loudly.
LII
So, now Jill and Peter have their own weapons and Billy's one of the good guys. Also, in the next season, we will see where Aku gets his bounty hunters. Plus, there will be a point where Jack turns into a chicken.
