Chapter 41, France Arc, Fighting a Concerto part 2
Benedict was furious, no, livid when he saw how bad his son was beat up.
'On what grounds and authority do you have to punish children that are not yours?'
His mind thought back to the discussion he had with William not too long ago, his words struck a chord now more than ever now that his own child had received such a punishing beat down. He may be evil, but he still cares for his family.
'Your children, emphasis on 'YOUR' children. Y-O-U-R children. You have every right to punish your own misbehaving children, but not other kids that are not even related to you.'
He had kept himself out of Céline's affairs during his vacation, their dinner together was pleasant but he had to rethink his friendship now. He had asked William who caused his injuries, and it took some prying to find out it was Céline. His son wanted to fight his own battle with her after his recovery, but he refused him that he would let this go sitting back. He was a far better Father than Pappy ever was, and was not going to let this transgression pass.
Benedict had made his way to Céline's studio apartments, taking the elevator straight up to her penthouse. He stymied his silhouette back on the way up, he needed his anger focused for what was to come.
As the elevator dinged and opened into Céline's apartment, Benedict walked himself in, gazing around the main room. It was well into the afternoon, almost night time after helping treat William's wounds with a first aid kit. He zeroed in on Céline who was just outside her penthouse in a jacuzzi, clenching his fists in anger as he marched his way outside to have a long and hard talk about keeping hands off children the way she did.
-scene change-
Laying down in pain was the one thing I hated the most out of my situation, everything hurts and doesn't help that the Delightful Children were giving me an unnerving amount of worry for me.
The Television was on, some sort of french cartoon was on, but we had no English subtitles to read for the show. The children would steal a glance at me every now and then, making me sigh in frustration. Might as well break the ice with idle chatter.
Giving them a grin, "I would have thought you would be gloating over me by now." I stated with a light chuckle.
The Delightful children frowned at my statement, "...Were you some KNDork any other day, we would have lorded this over you." They declared with a stern look, with a petulant quirk of their noses.
As they brought the remote back out to change the channels, "Father has always instilled in us to cherish family, at the very least close family." The Delightful explained with a furrow of their brows.
I let an eyebrow raise at that, "That does seem like him to teach you about certain things in life." I remarked with a smile.
Before any of us could say another word, from the view of the windows the sky lit up with a bright white flash of fire on top of a tall building. As the fire settled down into a hot orange color, a blur of a body could be seen getting ejected far out into the countryside. I glanced over to see the Delightful Children's reaction, they were smiling.
"Father's definitely angry now…" The children remarked with excitement.
-scene change-
As Céline groggily stood up after getting the hardest punch to the stomach she ever had, she began to deeply regret acting the way she did with Ben. Céline thought Benedict would understand, especially with their alignment in evil and all that. It is not like she killed the boy, but dear old Ben would not have any of that and argued that there was a fine line most Villains usually never cross.
Beating up a teen black and blue, right after a night of fighting and recovering was what crossed the line in Benedict's books. Céline tried to argue her case that she was merely dishing out punishment for William's actions last night, Céline has never seen Ben blow up in so much anger in all her life.
"Turn and face me Céline, I am not through you just yet!" Benedict grounded out in fury as he stomped towards her, she turned around to see Ben in his silhouette and fire ablaze.
Placing her hands out in a placating manner, Céline needed to try and de-escalate her situation with Benedict. "Now come on Ben, your son is still breathing. It's not like I seriously maimed him." She pleaded with a nervous smile.
"You maimed a teenager, my son of all things considered." Benedict yelled into Céline's face as he stood across from her. Jabbing a finger into her shoulder, "I don't know how you Villains over here in Europe handle things, but over in America we at least be mindful of holding back!" Ben sternly shouted.
Not one to sit back and any of this, Céline let an angry frown form on her face. "We're Villains! We don't need any morality in dealing with children and teens!" She argued back heatedly.
Grabbing Céline by the scruff of her shirt, Benedict brought her up to his eye level using both hands and leveled a glare at her. "Then that would make us no better than Pappy!" He grounded out in anger, before tossing her to the ground.
Céline couldn't rebuke or refute any of what he had said, she knew what it was like back then but nowadays she had forgotten how bad it was with the world under Pappy's control. Jabbing a finger towards Céline, "If you want our friendship to continue, you will stay in France and wait until William recovers." He demanded from her, earning a confused look from her.
"As much as I want to return the favor of what you did to William." Benedict explained while letting his silhouette recede, "that son of mine has come so far in his own rite, he does not need me to fight his own battles." He stated with a firm tone.
With a quirk of a brief from Céline, she let out a scoff. "You expect me to face him again?" She asked sarcastically.
Jabbing a finger towards Her, "You hash out the arrangements with him like an actual ADULT!" Ben answered with scowl, before turning to leave.
Céline let out a breath of relief and exhaustion, she had felt like a little girl once again being chewed out by her parents with how Benedict had chewed her out. She hated it, but it didn't feel undeserved.
Chapter 42, No rest for the weary
My recovery went smoothly through my week-long stay in France. It took some reasoning with Father but I was able to get out walking after three days. Unfortunately I still needed to use a crutch to walk, but it was not permanent. I needed to touch up with the French division, and go over a few topics that were going around in the rest of the world. That is where I find myself now, sitting at a table just across from Marianne.
I got an earful from Cree about going alone, but I refuted if she could even handle what I had to fight last night. She of course argued she would have found a way, so I agreed next time I'd drag her along next time to get our asses kicked. Cree let out a snort of a chuckle at that. I suppose the Rebellion needs a new branch to research on magic and elemental powers, I can't be the only heavy hitter afterall.
Checking through several reports as I debriefed with Marianne, I had to stop at one particular report from Romania. There has been a rise in spank happy vampires, which was a bit concerning when the reports detailed the number of Teens within the ranks. I had to let out a tired sigh from this, the Teen's Rebellion has information for the cure but reports say it is more dire than that.
I am going to need to make a lot of phone calls, chief among them to a particular Female teen in the United Kingdom. While her own organization does not work for us, we do defer to her a lot with the paranormal of Adult Villains. You thought there were only spank happy vampires? That is just adorable to think so for this world.
There was Weredogs that ate homework, (Handled that mess in my own state, but not sure about the rest of the world.) Tree branch spanking werewolfs, lemons in a bag beating wolves in Germany, whip angry Vampires in Africa, the list goes on worldwide. I had put off the fight with Céline on an agreement, a very tense agreement. Whatever dad had done to her, it looked like he put the fear of god in her. She would cease all Villain activity for one month, and we would cease all our activities on her in return.
Everyone was there at the meeting of course, including father without his silhouette on. There were many detractors for the armistice, but Father surprisingly did his job as the moderator quite well. Dad had quite the clout in the Villain community, and one glare from him towards Céline had her promising up a mess along with a written agreement. No one could trust the agreement, but I had enough trust in Father that he kept his word. Were Céline ever to go back on the agreement, or vice versa, said party was entitled to their own retribution with valid evidence.
It seems stupid for Villains to make any promises, but I suppose there is some measure of respect to be had in this world among them.
Bringing back my train of thoughts back to the rise of the supernatural, it looks like my stay in Europe would be prolonged. While dad needed to head back home for his own reasons, I would need to make some calls and some promises regarding school work. Details aside on the status of my performance in school, the trip to Romania was going to be an interesting one. Who knows what sort of supernatural Villain I'll run into.
-scene change-
-Few days later-
I stood at Father's private airstrip to wave him off for his trip back home. It would not be hard for me to do my school work abroad I had assured him, and agreed to allow my stay in Europe for a little longer. Checking the time on my C.A.V.E. for the time, my meetup with Sir Bella Duval Winterhall Montgomery was scheduled soon over in another airstrip.
Cree unfortunately had to go back home, but not before getting an earful from her about bringing back up in my state. I was healing up just fine, and no longer needed a crutch. There were still bruises and scars, but nothing really significant otherwise.
After about several minutes of traveling to the designated airstrip, it was not long until a private plane came in for a landing. When the plane came to a rest, the hatch on the side of the private jet opened down with stairs on them. From the entryway stood quite the character of a Teenage girl with a no nonsense look, she definitely had the air of respect and commanding presence going on for her.
Thankfully I no longer had a limp in my steps as I walked my way over to the private jet, "I have to thank you for coming …wait how do you want to be addressed?" I asked as I held out my hand to shake on.
Bella walked down the hatch's stairway to meet me halfway and shake hands. "Miss Montgomery from you will be fine." She stated with a firm tone.
I gave her a nod, "Very well then. I thank you for deciding to come with me to Romania Miss Montgomery, your aid in the paranormal of Adult Villains will be very helpful." I complimented with a grateful tone, before gesturing to her private plane. "Shall we get going then?" I asked with a polite tone.
With a stiff nod from Bella, she took to entering her plane first with me not too far behind. The inside wasn't too opulent, just personal enough that you would expect from a private jet airplane. "I heard you had your own trouble with some Weredogs not too long ago." Miss Montgomery stated while we took our seats.
I let out an annoyed sound leave my lips, "Yeah, some minor annoyance of some homework eating dogs, pretty sure minor compared to what your organization is used to." I jabbed with a dry tone.
As the jet began to power up for take off, Bella let out an amused laugh. "Quite so." She mused as the plane began to take off. Giving me a once over, Bella raised an eyebrow at my state. I had some stitches on my arms, shoulders and forehead, so I suppose some explaining was in order to pass the time.
With a quirk of my lip, "It's been quite the week in France, want me to fill you in to occupy our time?" I asked with a light hearted tone.
Leaning back in her chair, she gestured for me to continue. "Well you definitely have my curiosity." Bella stated with an amused look, "It's not everyday I see you in such a sorry state." She ribbed at me with a grin.
Clicking my teeth in annoyance, I let a chuckle escape from my mouth. "Ha ha, very funny. It's not like I ever presented myself as an infallible leader, we are all human beings one way or another." I refuted with a smirk, with which was returned from Bella.
Sitting up straight from my seat, I cleared up my throat. "So I am sure you are aware of the events recently in Paris." Bella let a hum of affirmation out from her lips, I would then continue on from there to give her the by-play of the recent events in France.
Interlude, Wayne Stark and his odd Granduncle from Romania
Three weeks before the Birthday Bash...
Near the City Prison...
"Uncle? What are you doing here?" Wayne asked as he stared at the man who was walking out of the prison complex.
Wayne Stark heard of rumors of a spank-vampire who spanks children around for doing things that ranged from bad to extremely terrible. The spank-vampire was described as a tall man with his black hair combed behind his back, thick eyebrows, wears a midnight black suit with a black medal with an S on it. Wayne could only think of one person that would have such a taste for fashion and old fashioned corporal punishment but he doubted it since he was supposed to be at the family home in Targoviste. The other spank-vampires that lived in America were weirded out by the man's propensity to spank children actively over doing bad things since they don't usually spank children that openly, punish other children that are not theirs or end up in the adult villain roster because of their actions.
Not only that, he heard from the rumor mills that the spank-happy vampire was jailed for spanking a child that did not even do anything wrong and was said to be severely traumatized when it was mentioned that the child did nothing wrong. The man was very guilty at what he had done and was supposed to be released today. His mother earlier looked like she swallowed lemons when she checked on the news and see who was doing it before asking Wayne to go to the prison at night and bring the spank-vampire back home so she could have words with the person.
However, all Wayne can do is to sigh in frustration, run his hand through the face and realize why his mom sent him here at this time of the night. He was there to retrieve his granduncle before he cause more problems and they lost track of the man again. The last time they left him to his own devices, he went on a tour across Europe and spanked a lot of kids who did a range of bad deeds to really heinous stuff similar to what bully groups do to parents when they need them for their illegal fight rings and games. Sure the guy broke a a few nefarious kid villain rings on his own during his tour but the amount of kids he spanked had caused problems to the family and the man was due for a long and very stern talking to from just about every other vampires.
Wayne knows that the other spank-vampires are not that overzealous in seeking justice but they do make things corporal sometimes in terms of inflicting punishments and they only do it for things that are really bad.
To Wayne, Granduncle (from his mother's side) Count Spankulot however, takes joy in punishing kids that it became off putting sometimes and it's been troublesome to the reputation of other spank-vampires in general.
"Nephew?! Is that you?" Count Spankulot was surprised when he saw Wayne once he looked at the direction where the sound of groaning came from, "It is I, your Granduncle!" he introduced himself with a heavily accented tone.
"Yes, Uncle Spankulot, I know it's you. Mom asked me to get you back to our home the moment you were out of the prison so that she can speak with you." the teen rebel officer said as he regained his composure, "Honestly uncle, you really need to stop spanking other children for the slightest of things that are considered as bad. That should be the parent's jobs to discipline their own kids."
"I... I understand, my nephew. I swore to never use my powers upon an innocent child ever again." the spank vampire said with some sadness in his tone, "I have realized in the prison that my past actions had been terrible and I have been misled that an innocent boy was spanked for no apparent reason... I..."
Before the Count could continue, the sound of a flying 2x4 bus crashing on the road was heard. Wayne and his granduncle looked as the bus flew low and started to crash until it stopped to a halt right in front of the two. They were surprised that this happened at the time of the night... moreso with the Kids Next Door Operatives of Sector V popping out of the bus with weapons ready and declaring themselves that they will protect the playground. None of them took notice of the two confused people that were nearly rammed by their bus as they took positions and pointing their guns at the massive walker mech heading towards the playground.
"Oh my Mr. Wink, the children still wants to play." the voice of Mr. Fibb was heard on the walker's speakers as the mech gets fired upon.
"Indeed, Mr. Fibb. These children are quite energetic for tonight." the voice of Mr. Wink agreed as one of the mech's legs was raised and from its metallic boots, a set of wicked spikes were about to crash on Numbuh One.
"Look out!" Wayne shouted as he rushed immediately and got Nigel Uno out of the range of the foot by tackling him away from the stomping zone.
"What is this?" Mr. Fibb said from behind the reinforced dome and on his sofa chair said as it now paid attention to the lone teen who just saved their enemy, "Aren't you supposed to be partying this late at night and leave us adults alone, teenager?"
"I would but you were about to turn someone into a smear on the ground, you maniacs!" Wayne shouted at the machine as his eyes started to go red.
"Oh but you should stay out of our business in punishing these naughty, naughty Kids Next Door. Isn't that right, Mr. Wink?" Mr. Fibb added as the it cocked the Mech's foot more and aimed at Wayne.
"Agreed Mr. Fibb. Now, kindly leave now as you are interrupting our time with the children." Mr. Wink finalized as the mech kicked and caused Count Spankulot and the KND operatives to be surprised as the foot connected to Wayne and caused the body to fly to the sky.
"NOOOOOO! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY NEPHEW, YOU FIENDS?!" Count Spankulot was mad when Wayne bounced at the road with a dull thud and looked angrily at Mr. Fibb and Mr. Wink's mecha.
"Yeah... that would have actually hurt if you guys actually ended up hitting me to be honest." there was a tapping sound on glass dome of the mech.
Everyone was surprised that Wayne was on the cockpit compartment of the mecha, squatted on top of the transparent dome and looked down on the two pilots below. The eyes of the Teen Rebel still shined red as he stared down at the two adults who were a while ago, fighting KND operatives who were now not firing as the scene took a turn for the weird.
Meanwhile, the thing that the mech actually kicked revealed itself to be a bench once the magic that Wayne casted on it wore off the moment it finished its purpose to act as his body double.
The KND operatives stood back as they watched the spank-vampire and his nephew jumping into the fight and interrupted the two.
"Nephew! You live! Come, let us punish these miscreants for their actions and we will talk about making me worry like so later!" Count Spankulot used his powers to make the mech halt and prevent any further movement while its occupant struggled to escape.
"Yes." Wayne said as he raised his arms and they both glowed with power, "Sorry Uncle."
The mech was turned into a metallic pretzel the moment Wayne and Count Spankulot was done with it.
Wayne Stark might not be a full-blooded vampire and a dhampir at best but the young man is still able to use magic and his strength as a vampire to break the reinforced glass and get the two adult villains out of the mech before the Count made it resemble as a modern art piece just by the use of his magic.
Wayne dropped Mr. Fibb and Mr. Wink on the ground unceremoniously.
"You two evil adults have created this mechanical contraption to not only hurt children but also to hurt my family?! Your heinies are now-..." Count Spankulot raised his palm and was prepared to spank the two adult villains until Wayne got in the way, "Nephew? What are you doing?"
"There's no point. These two are beaten. They've lost already and its not worth spanking these two." Wayne looked at the two adult villains who were now trembling in fear, the red eyes adding more intimidation effect on the two, "Well, I'm not going to hold off my uncle here forever. Get out before I decide to let him claim your butts for spanking!"
"AAAAAAAH!" the two screamed as they scampered and ran off back to their base after their most recent loss at the hands of outsiders.
"But why must you let those two escape?! Surely they deserve to be spanked! They were about to hurt the poor, innocent children and tried to hurt you too!" Count Spankulot reasoned as he was stopped from administering his brand on justice on the escaping adult villains.
"One, we're running late... then again, it's my fault since I can't really stand around and let William's cousin get mushed by some couch potatoes." Nigel Uno's eyebrows were raised when he realized that the teen is one of his older cousin's teen friends, "Two, mom's waiting for us to get back home since she prepared dinner for us and still wants to talk to you. Three, we need to go home, pronto!"
"Fine... they will escape justice... for now. Now let us hurry, nephew! Mariska would be cross with us if we stay late for much longer!" Count Spankulot transformed into a flock of bats and started to fly off to the skies, "I cannot wait to see little Terrence! I have heard that he had been a good little boy and wanted to see me for a while as well!"
"HEY WAIT! YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE WE LIVE! COME BACK, UNCLE!" Wayne mentally cursed himself that he was not able to transform as well as he run after Count Spankulot on the ground using his powers, "AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH THAT FOR NOW STATEMENT, UNCLE?!"
The KND operatives were all that was left on the scene where Mr. Fibb and Mr. Wink's mech still lay and the distant cries of Wayne was heard as he ran after Count Spankulot.
"What... what just happened..." Numbuh Four was the one who broke the silence and snapped out the Sector V's collective daze as to what they saw.

Many months later...
One of the many meetings in Homebase...
"You actually had Count Spankulot living at your house and kept him from doing anything at all and you never even told me anything about it? Not only that, you can actually do magic too?" William was not happy that something was withheld from him that was incredibly important.
"Hey now, Uncle and my powers are a personal matter, Commander. I can't really tell the world that I'm able to do some hocus pocus, abra kadabra stuff without causing people to come at me like sharks on chum in order to force me into joining whatever they want to do. I mean, when Uncle Spankulot accidentally told the world that my little brother is also like me, a lot of people tried to get him, including KND recruiters." Wayne was miffed at some of the attempts of the KND operatives to recruit Terrence Wayne, causing him to be more guarded and have more robotic bodyguards to start escorting him to his school whenever he can't do it in person.
"Still, can you convince the Count to help us in our research in magic?" the Commander of the Teen's Rebellion asked as he drank his coffee.
"Well, he did hear a lot of good things about the Teen's Rebellion and he does want to help us out in exchange of allowing him to spank villains when they go too far... err... you might want to discuss this with the Count later, Commander. I'll arrange a meeting with you and him later." the Rebel Logistics Officer agreed to William's request and started to type a message on his C.A.V.E. phone, "He's very eager to do something after mom straightened him up regarding on spanking kids for the minor offenses and all."
"Well, that explains the reason why you're more active at night than day, Wayne." Cree smirked as she reclined on her chair, "As well as being able to work with less sleep and looking a bit paler."
"Are you sure your skin doesn't sparkle when sunlight hits it-..." before Stacey could continue the rest of her sentence, Wayne raised his hand to gesture her to stop, "Oh right... that book's something you hate."
"Yes. Don't make references about that book or say its name. Please. I'm not a full vampire and that thing still offends me..." Wayne had heard way too many jokes based on the references of that book and he doesn't want to hear another word of it.
"You mean, Twinkle Night, right-..." Steve however, couldn't resist saying the name of the book and caused Wayne to lunge at the other teen at the fit of indignant rage from hearing the name of the book from his side of the table to Steve's.
Interlude, A Serious Buisness
Sweets making is a serious business.
This is a knowledge that the Teens of the Teen's Rebellion have learned once they started to put their foot in the business on the day they started to make ice creams to sell to kids in order to have their own pocket money and to keep the Rebellion from going bankrupt. If the sweets business wasn't attacked by the Ice Cream men, they'd have Candy Pirates trying to steal from them, Knightbrace trying to vandalize their workplace, Teen Ninjas trying to coerce them to join their side by stealing their delivery or Mr. Boss attempting a corporate take over of the business. Even working for small businesses that Wayne have suggested them to work for when the teens are not starting their own stores is just as difficult due to the same issues as well.
Teens however, refuse to give up as they've made so much and the market was too good to let go. Not to mention the benefits of it being able to acquire free sweets once in a while... even if sometimes, deliveries make things even more complicated in the sweets business.
Steve had been working for a business that has been making honey based candies and treats as a delivery boy whenever he's off the clock as one of the Rebellion's pilots/drivers. He uses his van to deliver all sorts of products from boxes of honey based candies and treats to other candy stores that sells his boss's products to cakes ordered by adults for their families for special occasions. He and his partner, a fellow Teen Rebel who also worked at the same workplace as him had been working in pairs along with the other couriers of the business ever since the last time they went alone, they had to struggle to even make a delivery at a nearby store a block away.
The van that they're using was also upgraded to be armored to withstand cannon fires, have turrets that can take out vehicles, a forcefield, wheels that can't be popped by sharp things easily, a specialized cargo hold that will keep their package secure, an emergency delivery motorcycle if in case the van gets destroyed somehow and Nitro Boosters to allow the van to move real fast. Steve recently got orders to deliver a birthday cake for a kid's birthday party and paid for by a parent that loved their kid. He knew that the moment he started to move, someone will be trying to stop him and he was right when he saw on the side mirrors a group of Teen Ninjas in their bikes in their attempts to make them join the Ninjas.
"Dude, they're here." the Teen Rebel muttered to Steve as he focused on driving while he loads his Red Pepper Gauss SMG.
"Oh man... I was really enjoying this day too." Steve activated the turrets of the vehicle that began to fire shock rounds that will take out whatever Teen Ninja electronics they have on them.
"You can't escape us, you dweebs!" one of the Teen Ninjas sped ahead and shouted to them once he made it to the van's driver side.
The Teen Ninja was shot to the face by Steve when his hand reached for the Superhot Sauce Revolver and cause the Teen Ninja to be blinded and tumble on the road and onto another Teen Ninja rider and creating a pile up on the road. Steve wasn't even looking at the Teen Ninja that he just shot at as he focused more on driving.
"Sorry guys but the Steve is currently on the clock right now." Steve focused on the road and glanced on the CAVE's GPS system that allows him to see how close he is to his client's house, "Gary, are they still after us?"
"Looks like it. They really don't know when to quit." Gary, his partner said as he looked at the radar to see five more Teen Ninjas trying to get them as he started to shoot out from the window and caused the radar to have three less enemy blips on it, followed by the sounds of vehicles crashing nearby, "Okay, that's three more down, two left, Steve. Better get them off our back or we'd have to fight them at our customer's place."
"I know, dude. Activating nitro in three..." Steve looked at the radar as the Teen Ninjas are catching up on their tail.
The Teen Ninja had attached themselves on the van and started to use their tools to attempt to open the van. Gary got up from his chair and went to the back to prepare for a potential breakthrough.
"Two..."
The Teen Ninja who is still on the bike had be been shot at by the shock weapons and disabled them in the process, leaving their bikes reverting back to their original states and their armors turning back into bras.
"One... nitro boosts are go!"
The Teen Ninja was thrown off the van when the nitro activated and sent him flying away in the process. Gary sighed in relief as he went back to his seat and put back his weapon's lock to safe. He saw on the CAVE GPS that they've made it to their destination and by then, Steve deactivated the boosters and looked at the clock with a smile. They delivered the package quite early and with no complications. The ice cream cake was still safe, intact and in perfect form for their customer's kid to enjoy. It was designed to look like a Rainbow Monkey after all.
The two got out of the van and opened the back of their van to bring the large cake to the customer, who was quite happy with how fast they were and was even tipped for their services as well. The two teen rebels like tips since extra money is always good to them. As the two got back to their vehicles, they looked at the next place where they will be making deliveries for boxes of the Honey Chocolate Nougats. It was a place where Candy Pirates would run around and they know how their shock weapons do not work well with wooden hulls. So they made quick adjustments on their turrets to fire rounds specifically to destroy a wooden hull of their landships and drove out once more.
While the villains do not attack all the time, they both have to be prepared for the worst since they attack at any time and they'd rather not be caught flatfooted when they drove there and they nearly did not complete their delivery.
"Those candy pirate weirdoes are going to make our lives hard?" Gary said as they started to cruise out of the neighborhood.
"Yep... on the bright side, the pay's really good and this van really tough." Steve adjusted his sunglasses as he looked at the road.
It doesn't help that the two teen rebel's experience in getting into fights with villains during their shifts were one of the many things that other teens in the sweets making industry end up dealing with.
Chapter 43, A nice harvest moonlight night for a walk
How long has it been seen he has set foot back home, how long has it been since he has forsaken the morning and day? These days, your average spank happy Vampire has forgotten what it really feels to have your ass tanned red. He supposed the methods just changed over time, far be it for him to tell others what to do in disciplining children though.
-break-
The trip to Romania was thankfully a smooth ride, but the location we needed the plane to land was way out of civilization. The airstrip was several miles away from a remote village, and could not help but get Resident Evil Four vibes minus the Spanish folk.
We had arrived by night time, which did not help matters add on to the fact the drive was rather bumpy seeing as how the driver used a very old vehicle. I could not help but feel we were being watched, and I am pretty sure we were given our situation. By who? I could not say just yet.
"So how familiar are you with Vampires of the spanking variety?" Bella asked me as we approached the village.
With a so-and-so motion with my hand, "A little bit, a dhampir friend of mine helped with the aid of his uncle." I shrugged.
Bella let out a humph and smirked, "Dhampir huh? Have not run into those in a long while…" she mused.
As the car pulled up to an inn located within the village, we exited after the car came to a rest to head inside. "I'll go in and arrange our rooms." She gave a shooing gesture at me, "Try and make nice with my associate in the lounge room." Bella stated with a smirk before turning on her feet and heading in.
I could feel goosebumps rise on my neck, urging me to turn around. Sure enough, I had to crane my neck up to look at a man that stood a head or so taller than me. "..." The man gave me a rather unnerving grin with his shades somehow shining in the night.
"...Right, not the first time I have met the supernatural, but you sure take the cake…" I mused with a dry chuckle, before pointing inside with a thumb. "Shall we?" I asked with a nervous tone… please have the same voice as Crispin Mcdougal Freeman…
The man turned his head over so slightly towards the rest of the village, "So many centuries, yet this village still stands…" he mused before letting out a gruff chuckle, I had to hold myself from making a fist pump. The dude sounds exactly like him!
I coughed into my fist, "Yes, well, you wanna head in? We can have you reminisce inside if you would like" I asked with a smile.
Letting out a hum, the man began walking off into the village instead. "Call me Vlad, and I think I will take a walk first…" he stated while heading on out.
"..." I furrowed my eyebrows at him, but shrugged afterwards a second later. "Far be it for me to tell you what to do." I mused to myself mostly while catching up to him to at least get used to working with the 'Vampire of Vampires'.
-scene change-
Bella was a patient teenage girl, but her patience could run thin when she had to deal with her Family's business. It was all well and good her organization had clout when dealing with the supernatural, the Teen's Rebellion especially gave her organization its due respect and deferred to her. She did not spend hours and hours in paper work, just to be seen as another pencil pusher.
Bella had her own skills to defend herself sure, but it helps having Vlad dispense the more troublesome of the supernatural. It was almost cute to hear how count Spankulot had a dhampir great grand Nephew of his own, Vlad had been amused at the mention of a dhampir. Something about 'The branches have spread quite far'.
Tapping her foot as she sat within the lounge area, Bella let out a frustrated sigh. "That damnable Old codger better not cause any irreparable damage in his walk." She knew very well why neither Vlad or William were not waiting for her in the lounge.
Vlad most likely was feeling nostalgic in his home country, and William had followed no doubt. Bella could at least have some time to herself then, make a few calls and relax before hell starts breaking loose. Perhaps she would make a call to that dhampir, last she heard the teen was doing quite well for himself. It was a rare chance to speak with those rare breeds, most of the time those dhampirs of the spanking variety cave in to spanking misbehaving children.
With a hum of thought, Bella supposed the fellow teen had a parent to be there for them and help curb those desires. Sure it would not be as strong as a pure spank happy vampire, but it is said there would be whispers in their psyche. Some questions could be answered, hopefully William's financial adviser would clear up some on the matter with spank happy Dhamirs.
-scene change-
"Tell me kid, what was it like for you, when you first felt power?" Vlad asked me as we walked through the Quiet village at night, the moon was full and hung high in the air. The air in the sky discolored the appearance to that of an orange harvest moon.
I let the weight of his words sink in, I realized I never bothered to stop and think about it. Sure I felt the power, but I never bothered to think back on it. Like with Stan Lee's quote on power, I knew very well I needed to reign in any notion of megalomania. This world had enough super Villains, I did not need any ideas of grandeur for myself. I furrowed my brows at the question, "Intoxicating, overwhelming, like a high as if I could own the world." I answered with a soft tone.
Vlad let a chuckle out and a grin grace his face under the shadow of the night, "And what stopped you from taking up the mantle of your family's history?" He asked with a pique tone of interest.
I held my hand and looked to my palm with a look of reminiscing, letting a small flame ignite in my palms. "This world deserves better, it deserved better." I affirmed to myself mostly with a glare, clenching my hand into a fist and snuffing out the fire.
With a sound of satisfaction for my answer, "Be sure to always remind yourself of that, the world will always need better people with strong shoulders and clear heads." Vlad remarked with a dry tone.
I gave Vlad a look of slight understanding, "You seen enough of the opposite?" I asked with a somber tone.
Letting a frown show once in his face, "More than enough kid, more than enough in all of the centuries I have walked the earth." He noted with a wistful tone, the light of the moon baring down on us as he looked up with a glare.
Chapter 44, A moonlight night of Ghouls
A teen ghoul could be seen flying out from a building through the window, breaking the glass in the process. Their appearance reverted back to that of a normal teen, and groaned in mild pain while rubbing their bottom. "Ma was not kidding I did not know how good I had it" the teen murmured to himself in his native tongue.
-Scene-
The place William and Vlad had made their way to, was a rather large cathedral that was situated just outside the border of the town. The orange moon hangs just behind it, casting Cathedral's shadow over the lands in front of it. Loud gunshots followed by the sound of tasers going off, what came after the tasers were loud smacks of the behind and howls of pain.
Inside allowed one to view William looking rather pale, with a perturbed look and an angry scowl sent to Vlad every now and then. "Next time tell me of your freakin plan!" He scowled while holding a teen ghoul by the back of their neck, before promptly sending an electrified smack into the Goul's bottom. The effects of vampirism curing the teen, and reverting them back to their normal selves.
Vlad gave William a cheeky smile while distributing his own 'punishment' with the aid of his 'powers'. "I did ask you about power." He said while bringing his 'punishment' down onto several more teen ghouls. "You wanted to come in with me to settle this mess, better you have the power to revert this mess than not." Vlad stated with a smirk.
Stopping another ghoul from attacking him, William had grasped the teen ghoul by the back of the hair and slammed them down over a pew. "My a-… my butt still stings!" He argued, almost spouting the curse word before getting a sharp look from Vlad.
Letting out an amused laugh, Vlad shook his head. "I was going easy on you, my hand was far firmer back when I reared my own children." He chuckled while smacking a few more Ghouls back to their normal selves.
Shooting him a dirty look, "Just be sure to 'cure' me once this is over." William snapped out while sending a few more Teens out a window after making their bottoms with his silhouette formed out from his body into several hands.
The place began to shake as heavy footsteps ran towards their location, and soon several căpcăun stomped their way into the room through the main entrance. "Are those…" "Romania's equivalent of an ogre." Vlad finished with a smirk.
"...right…" William evenly stated with a dry look. Right as one căpcăun reached William to make a grab at him, he grasped the offending appendages with a glare and unleashed an explosive lightning grapple that stunned and smoked the beast.
Once the Romanian ogre collapsed from the pain, William glanced over to Vlad to only see he was already finished with the rest. Giving William a smirk, Vlad preceded to head further into the cathedral. "We can split up from here, I'll be taking the left." He stated before disappearing from sight in the darkness.
William let out a frustrated sigh, "Cheeky fu-…sheesh nevermind." He relented and took to the right door.
-scene change-
It was almost fascinating how many variations of spank happy Vampires there were, but William would need to stifle his curiosity for now as he gripped a Căpcăun with an enlarged hand of his silhouette. With a gesture of his hand, the enlarged silhouette hand threw the ogre out the window after giving it a good lightning shock within the hand's grasp.
From around the hallway corners, several groups of ghouls charged into the hallway William was in.
Crouching his knees for a jump, "Here goes nothing" William whispered to himself before launching himself into the air, becoming a black mass of electricity and lightning hurtling into the air above the ghouls' heads. From the mass of William's form, several hands lashed out to undo the curse that plagued the victims via 'spanking'. Landing back onto the other side of the group that had charged at him, William reformed back onto his feet but stumbled a little.
Lurching over and grasping the wall for support, William let out a dry heave. "Nope, stupid idea, stupid idea." He wheezed out before seeing more ghouls to his left within his peripherals. With a grunt of annoyance, William proceeded to get back up and charge into the mess of ghouls.
Leaping over the group, He let his silhouette drop down into hands and smack each behind as he hopped from one shoulder to another shoulder of the ghouls he was vaulting over. Hearing the groans of anguish, William gave a quick apology before heading further through the maze of hallways.
As he ran through the hallways, he could hear static-charged filled gun shots followed by anguish wails of smacks. The one in charge seemed to be situated further upstairs, going by the directions the ghouls came from.
William doubted the person was the one who was solely responsible for the increase in spank happy Vampires, but at least contributed towards the upsurge of vampires and ghouls. If not a contributing factor, then a small player to a larger force that is playing behind the scenes.
-scene change-
Sir Bella Duval Winterhall Montgomery, it was not just another old money name or a teenage girl that someone could pass off as another nepotism favored girl. No, Bella commanded an air of respect, but did not allow herself to become arrogant. There was no other family member to lead the Montgomery organization, and Bella shouldered it all with all her sheer determination.
It was with some measure of satisfaction that she did get respect from the Teen's Rebellion regarding the supernatural, her family's history alone has been deep within the underworld of the unknown. It was by no stretch of the imagination that Bella had little expectations from anyone, but at the same time from everyone. She was the last one of the family so there were no parents or extended family members to impress upon, but to hold the name of Montgomery came with big expectations from the outside world.
Bella folded her hands in front of her as she viewed the orange moon in the sky. There are times when she wanted to just drop it all , but would always remind herself that there were bigger things in the world than some teenage girl wanting to quit her duties. She let an amused smile grace her lips, remembering Vlad's own words of responsibility.
'Everyone wants responsibility, but some realize once given, it's not all cracked up to all they believe'
Bella let out a chuckle as she leaned back onto her chair, "Responsibility is nothing but a golden honeyed word." She mused ruefully. Sure anyone can lead, but to actually be a good leader with a responsible and respectable character is a different matter altogether.
Glancing to her C.A.V.E., an interesting new gadget the Teen's Rebellion have concocted, Bella debated on calling Vlad for a status check, but thought against it with a frown. That troublesome Vampire was most likely busy already, dragging William along with him into who knows what.
"Those two better not cause too much trouble…" Bella stated with a frustrated tone.
Interlude, Night of the spank happy
Night of the Spank Happy
At the same time...
Gallagher Elementary School...
Evening... 7:30PM...
"Okay, so in other words, some nutty teacher is actually a spank-dhampir and he infiltrated the school to find kids to spank and turn into a small army of spank happy vampires bent on spanking every kid in this city. Is that correct, Terry?" Wayne asked as he punched another spank happy vampire kid and summoned bats to distract the other kid that was coming at him with a palm raised before he threw him in an open locker and shut it.
The little boy that Wayne is talking to is an eight year old kid with platinum white hair and a black and white overall with a black cape attached on it with a green broach that held it together. His eyes are green and unlike his brother, his fangs are a bit more visible. He was shooting fireballs from his finger guns and keeping the other turned spank vampires at bay. Wayne's robotic bodyguards that he assigned to Terry are also helping in keeping the unturned defended as they attacked any infiltrators that tried to enter the perimeter they made as Wayne called for reinforcements and made sure they brought floodlights since the entire area is under blackout thanks to the said teacher.
"Yeah! He tried to spank Tommy too but I got him away from there." Terry nodded as he shot more of the spank happy vampires, "Anyway, I'm glad you're here, bro! I don't think I can handle these guys on my own." he slapped a spank happy vampire girl and kicked her away when she tried to get close to unturned kids of the Elementary School.
"Considering that the adult spank vampire's above your weight class, I'm pretty sure that you'll need help, Terry." Wayne said as he watched a spank vampire be fed through the mouth with garlic by a certain sibling of a certain KND operative.
"Wow, you're brother's pretty cool, Terry." Tommy Gilligan was amazed at how the teen was fighting against spank vampire kids and holding his ground while he fired the garlic machine pistol that Wayne allowed him to borrow and help them in shooting the other spank vampires.
"I know. He's pretty strong and he's really great at using magic... not that he's better than me, of course." Terry proudly said as he blasted more spank vampire kids with fireballs, taking more people down.
Wayne knows that the spank vampires will keep on coming no matter what. The spank happy vampires might be absolute newbies in using their powers but in large numbers, they can be problematic. He doesn't know what happened to the other KND operatives here but he's pretty sure that they'd be aware of what's going down here since Tommy had an emergency beacon to call upon any nearby KND operatives who could assist them.
However, as Wayne smacked the spank happy vampires away, his CAVE phone rang. He looked at the number on the screen and it was from Bella, one of the Rebellion's allies outside their organization and his acquaintance.
Their first meeting involved him being nearly dragged into her organization for being a suspect for the spanking incidents that happened in Bucharest, until he was able to prove his innocence by telling them that it was not him and was some dhampir teen who gave in to their tendency to spank behinds to feel good about doing good. Apparently, being a half-vampire made many of his peers a bit of an idiot and started to spank whichever they get their hands on just to get that sense of righteousness and slaking off the voice that tells them to spank wrongdoers.
Then again, whoever their parents were, they sucked at raising dhampirs since he's quite certain that they weren't disciplined enough or were encouraged to slap butts of people who did something wrong.
Even other spank vampires who have a certain degree of spanking habits who would look at dhampirs would tell them to calm down and cool off.
He reached for his wireless comm. link device that Jonney made and activated it to allow him to answer his phone.
"Hello, Wayne Stark here." the teen rebel officer greeted as he grabbed one lunging spank vampire kid and the other and threw them back to the incoming spank vampires that were rushing at them from the corridor like a bowling ball, "Oh hello there Bella. It's been a while... yes, I'm fine."
"YOU NAUGHTY NAUGHTY TEENAGER! THE HAND OF JUSTICE SHALL-..." one spank vampire was psionically grabbed by Terry and Tommy shot the grabbed spank vampire with his garlic pistol in rapid fire before the dhampir kid launched the spank vampire back to the back of the charging army.
"Voices? Well that depends really. While there's a tiny voice in me that says that I should spank kids, I'm able to ignore it. Mom even suggested that I get a hobby as well to make it disappear. Nowadays, I don't have that voice anymore and I'm able to live normally." Wayne psionically lifted a locker and positioned it to block and ram the charging spank happy vampire kids, knocking them out by the dozens.
"WE WILL BE BACK, YOU NAUGHTY FOOLS! THE HANDS OF JUSTICE SHALL NOT BE-..." Fanny Fulbright, now a full spank happy vampire was interrupted before she could complete her sentence, Terry fired fireballs at her and caused her to be caught on fire. She panicked and disappeared along with the rest of the downed and trapped spank vampires.
"Errr... we were busy until they decided to have enough of fighting us for now. Me, my little bro, his friends and some kids I was able to save are holding off a bunch of spank happy vampire kids that some spank happy dhampir wanted to use to start some spanking party across the neighborhood." the teen rebel officer scratched the back of his head, "Nah, I'm having someone from the Rebellion to bring as much floodlights as possible to shine on them so that we can get them back to normal after slapping them around and back to their senses."
"Oh man... that wiped me out..." the seven year old dhampir sat on the floor, tired from fighting.
"Me too... I never thought that this is the coolest night I've ever had, huh?" Tommy was smiling as he looked at Terry, who was now smiling at Tommy's optimism.
"Okay... and yeah, you're right about the whole badly raised and trained dhampirs becoming menaces. Though I'd usually blame the parents... anyway, I need to go now. We have to take out the dhampir responsible for this mess before he makes things worse... see you later. Bye." Wayne sighed as he finished the call and looked at the CAVE phone to see the status of his reinforcements, which is the Sector V's COOLBUS coming towards the elementary school and multiple teen vehicles coming in, "Looks like you boys and girls will be able get out of here while I work on getting the teacher responsible for this mess."
"Bro, can't we stay here and help out? We make a great team down there, you know?" Terry said with resolution, "I want to go on an adventure with you too."
"Yeah, Hoagie and his friends don't let me into their KND stuff but you let me hold a cool gun, Terry's bro. Can I come too?" Tommy was excited that this was his first battle against an adult villain. Sure it was scary at first but Tommy was able to swallow his fear and fought on. He also wants to stick with his new friends as well since Terry's a great playmate and Wayne's a cool guy for a teenager, "Please! Please please please please..."
"Well... all right... but we need to make sure that you're dressed for this fight..." Wayne said and looked at Terry, who nodded at him, "Terry, we're going to do some little adjustments on Tommy's clothes just to make sure that no spank happy vampire kid will slap his buttocks around."

Gallagher Elementary School...
Evening... 8:30PM...
Wayne, Terry and Tommy walked out of the safe zone as soon as they saw one of the many spotlights activate outside the Gallagher Elementary School. The Rebels and KND operatives are currently setting up a parameter to keep what is inside the Elementary School from getting out. The robots that Wayne brought with him were ordered to escort the unturned children out of the school to safety while the three began their vampire hunt. Wayne was once taught that the turned are not as strong and tend to be incredibly inexperienced in using their powers. This inexperience shows as the three were able to fight off the opposition easily. Many of the turned who charged to their direction were bound, gagged and rendered unable to use any of their powers.
The trio's target was the school's larder in order to grab as much garlic as they could before going to the school's water tanks on the rooftop. From there, they will crush the garlic and mix it to the water reservoir. Once thoroughly mixed, they will activate the general fire alarm and cause the school to pour out garlic infused water on everything. The smell of garlic alone can weaken a spank happy vampire but getting doused in such a thing will incapacitate them so much that it will be easy for the trio to take out the dhampir responsible for the mess.
While the smell of garlic will cause the school to be cancelled for a few days to two weeks to remove and deodorize it but it was a small price to pay if the trade off was that they will not have to deal with a city that could have an outbreak of spank happy vampires.
As the three got to the kitchens and rummaged the place for what they need, more spank happy vampire kids came out and tried to spank them.
Tommy however, was rendered immune to being spanked after his clothes were enchanted to keep his bottom from being touched. Whenever a spank vampire comes close to the youngest Gilligan, the cape of Tommy activates and slaps the offending vampire away. He also used the garlic gun that he improved into a garlic shotgun using the junk he had found in the janitor's closet and took out spank happy vampires by the dozen whenever they clump together.
Wayne was glad that the turned were not that tactically sound or else it would be more troublesome to deal with.

Gallagher Elementary School...
Evening... 10:27PM...
Realizing that carrying five sacks of incredibly heavy garlic with psionic powers will be taxing for Wayne and Terry, Tommy came up with a plan that would save them time and energy.
Tommy created a makeshift combat vehicle using the kitchen trolleys, one of the sacks of garlics that he converted into an ammo belt for the garlic machine gun and firecrackers that he found in the school's contraband storage room that they've broken into that he would use to make garlics explosive enough to spread chunks of garlic on whoever got hit. Tommy would call the chariot the TommyMobile Mk1 because apparently, Tommy is thinking about making a better version of the TommyMobile later on. Terry hopped on to the trolley after the sacks of garlic are stored at the bottom compartment and Wayne proceeded to use his magic to allow the trio to speed through the horde of spank happy vampires who are being suppressed by the floodlights outside the school.
The turned tried to cover all windows with the curtains and desks to keep the bright lights out but it gave Wayne and Terry a good target to psionically push and destroy and force the turned to retreat to the darker parts of the school.

Gallagher Elementary School...
Evening... 11:10PM...
The stairs were not a problem as Wayne was able to float the war cart. Tommy shot the vampires that tried to get in their way and Terry used fireballs and psionic powers to cause more havoc to the turned as they fought their way to the rooftop. The rebels and the KND operatives saw the trio, who are now at the rooftop.
Wayne's CAVE rang and on it was Chad.
"Wayne here." the Logistics Commander answered as he took a breather, "What can I do for you?"
"Wayne, why are you guys on the roof?!" Chad was looking at the three as they began to block the only way to the roof from the ground, "Anyway, need a lift out there?"
"No, no need for that, Chad. We're not going to leave until the kids here aren't spank happy vampires anymore." Wayne, Terry and Tommy pushed the cart to the water tanks.
"And what do you plan on doing to make the kids in there into human? They have to spank the guy who turned them to return to normal remember?!" Chad said on the other line as Wayne climbed on the hatch and floated the garlic sack to his level.
Wayne crushed the garlic sack and made sure that not one drop of the garlic juice will spill to the ground. He then dumped the crushed garlic sack into the water tank. He then floated another sack and did the same until the only thing left on the TommyMobile was the garlic sack used as an ammo belt. The amount of garlic that was dropped on the tank was more than enough to incapacitate everyone due to how strong the smell of garlic was but the other option was to fight each and everyone of the turned.
Wayne does not like the odds of fighting his way through a crowd and would opt to take the easier route.
"Actually, there is another way to turn back a turned, Chad." the Dhampir then started to mix the garlic water magically until water and garlic started to mix and the two second graders who are watching him at work started to cover their noses due to the strong smell alone, "It involves either beating them down enough to force their original personality to overcome the desire to spank, spanking them or using garlic to-..."
"I found you, you naughty boys!" the familiar and slightly muffled voice of Fanny Fulbright shouted with accent as she tried to swoop in lunge on Wayne.
Wayne immediately dodged the attack but at the same time, he dropped the CAVE into the vat of garlic water. He looked at Numbuh 86, now a spank happy vampire thanks to her boneheaded decision to split away from the group with other girls that she gaslighted into coming with her rather than staying in one place as they waited for reinforcements. He knew how it ended when she appeared as a part of the wave along with the other kids who came with her. She was wearing a medallion with 86 on it and her clothes changed into a green blouse behind a black buttoned vest with her now wearing black riding pants and boots. She also has the batlike cape that was black on the outside but green on the inside. She was floating on the air and half of her face is covered with a face mask to keep her from smelling the garlic water.
Tommy and Terry tried to help but Wayne had the two to stand down by gesturing them to stay there. KND operatives and Teen Rebels saw the floating Head of the Decommissioning and trained their sights on the spanker and proceeded to fire. The turned KND operative laughed shrilly as she covered herself in a barrier that deflected her fire. One of the teens tried to shine the floodlights on her but Fanny used her new powers to throw the TommyMobile to the floodlight, destroying it in the process.
"WAIT! LET ME HANDLE THIS IDIOT! SHE'S MINE!" Wayne shouted loud enough for those below to hear, "I HAVE SOME BEEF WITH THE IDIOT FOR WHAT SHE DID EARLIER!"
Chad never thought that Wayne would say something like that, let alone be incredibly mad
"Oh? Confident aren't we? You sure you don't need more help to beat a spank happy vampire girl like myself, you weak, naughty, teenage boy?" the misandrist mocked as she crossed her arms.
"To be fair, I don't need them to take on an idiot that clearly needs to be dressed down for her stupid actions." Wayne coldly spoke as he took out a pair of combat gloves from his back pocket and put them on his hands, "I was hoping that after all of this, we'll have a little chat about about what you did but I guess that this can't be held off for later."
Terry and Tommy tried to sneak to the water tank to finish mixing the garlic water. Fanny saw the two and tried to lunge on the duo but Wayne kicked her away from the two kids who are now legging it to the water tank.
"You dare get in the way of punishing two of those naughty boys who are staying late in school, you stupid teenager boy?!" Fanny shouted at him who was annoyed at her.
"Well, considering that you tried to spank my little brother and his friend, yes. I'll get in your way, you loud, obnoxious, annoying, freckled git of a girl with no volume control and no friends whatsoever." Wayne said those words loud enough to cause those who heard the words to be silenced at what was said.
Chad, who heard the declaration was surprised with what was just said. The KND operatives heard it were pretty much shocked. Some teens who were formerly KND operatives wordlessly muttered how they wished they could have said that to the most annoying operative in KND ever. Terry and Tommy however...
"Oooooohhhh." the two said in unison as
"What did you just said, teenage boy?" Fanny was clearly offended by what was just said.
"Didn't you hear me or did the sound of spanking asses caused you to lose your hearing, you overly aggressive, freckled redheaded gorilla girl?" Wayne continued as he sees signs of agitation on the girl, "Maybe you are a gorilla who can't understand basic human language. Perhaps I should call in animal control because you holler too much like a stuck pig on just about anyone that breathed air next to you? Hey, maybe you should be in an animal pen because holy hell, you act like a rabid barking doggo."
The Sector V operatives who were also listening to the conversation was quite stunned to silence at what the teenager was saying. Normally, the girl would be very loud and aggressive and would not let anyone talk to her like that but the person who acts as the accountant of the Rebellion was the one who made her silent.
"Oh I've heard a lot of things about you, Fanny Fulbright. You screamed at my little brother before when he accidentally bumped on you last week, you moronic shitstain. Normally, a normal person would just accept the apologies and move on or not say anything and move on. You? You screamed at him being an idiot and a shitty boy who needs to get the hell out of her way and called him many rude names just because he's a boy." Wayne took a step forward as Fanny felt fear from the teenager that was now seething as he remembered how she treated his brother, "I'd bet my collection of my vintage Yipper Cards that you'd still scream at him even if he cried and begged that you forgive him for even being near you, you nasty, shitstain on two legs."
"Uhm..." there was an oppressive air that surrounds Wayne and her senses were overwhelmed by it, "I... it's not..."
Tommy was shaking as he saw the brother of his friend be angry but Terry grabbed his shoulder to shake him out of the stupor and whispered that he finished mixing the garlic water and it was ready to be used.
"Not your fault? Oh wow. What a dumb and pathetic excuse you are using here, you overtly loud monkey woman. So it's not your fault that 25 unturned girls who followed your dumb plan became spank happy vampires, you included?" Wayne asked sharply, causing the turned KND operative to flinch.
"It's not my fault... you stupid teenage boy! You refuse to accept the just-..." Fanny tried to make a weak comeback as she floated down to the ground but it was shot down.
"Is it justice to spank butts of kids who only forgot to throw their trash in the proper bins? Or forget to return the library books in time? Or did not even brush their teeth?" Wayne was getting closer and closer as the spank happy vampire was shrinking from where she stood, "You sure are grasping on straws here to justify yourself, gorilla."
Fanny had enough and lunged at Wayne. Wayne dodged the attack and grabbed her arm and spun around. He let go of her arm and let the force throw her to the makeshift barricade that caused her to slam on it. Wayne went to her, not using his powers to make the battle easy. Fanny used her vampiric strength to throw the ruined door to him but Wayne caught the door in both hands and dropped it unceremoniously on the floor. Fanny used her psionic powers as a spank happy vampire to float the random wood planks and boxes found on the rooftop and threw it at Wayne. The dhampir swatted the thrown objects out of the way.
Fanny used her flight to lunge at Wayne but the teenage dhampir was able to dodge the attack and threw her to the floor before she could complete it. Wayne then ripped her cape and threw her to the ground, preventing her from being able to take flight.
"Undisciplined, unskilled, and incredibly filled with hot air. Fits you to a tee, huh?" Wayne smirked, causing Numbuh 86 to lose her mind and try to charge at Wayne the second time with her spanking hands ready to hit Wayne.
Wayne grabbed both of her arms with one hand. He then ripped off the face mask that Fanny wore, causing her to choke on the smell of garlic water. Tommy and Terry ran to the console where the fire alarm was that will activate all of the sprinklers. Wayne used his psionic powers to get a small portion of garlic water out of the tank and splashed the turned girl and caused her to slowly turn back into a normal human.
The Dhampir is happy that the ones that turned her was not strong enough to keep the girl from being unable to transform back to being a normal human. Fanny felt her buttocks and how much it hurts. She was screaming in pain but Wayne used his free hand to shut her up by covering her mouth. Tommy activated the fire alarm and once the water started to pour out of the sprinklers, the screams of the turned were heard all around the school.
"Listen here. You have the perseverance and strength to be a great operative for KND despite having a prickly attitude that gives a cactus a run for its money and a nasty habit of being nasty with everyone that got in your breathing space." Wayne made the struggling girl to stop trying to break free as she was forced to listen, "I admit that you are assertive enough to give people confidence but if you can't back that up then you're being a deadweight and an idiot. I do not like those kinds of people... Especially if they can't back their shit and refuse to listen to second opinions and cause the people she's trying to rescue and herself to be turned."
Fanny was ashamed when Wayne threw out what she had done earlier that created more problems than fix it.
"If you want to make up for the shit you did earlier, you will help me get the idiot that caused this mess. Otherwise, stay out of my damned way and stay clear while we sort this mess out or else we'll make you move out of the way." he added with enough authority and pressure to silence the feisty girl who caused more problems earlier than fixing it, "You've created a mess before and I don't care about your stupid opinion. Help me end this or so help me I will leave you here and let someone else sort out a fuck up like you. Got it?"
Fanny lowered her head and nodded. She wanted to be angry but at the same time, everything the teenager said who was done with her was correct. She needed to make things right after she was the first to be turned into a spank happy vampire kid when she and the others tried to get out of the school.

Gallagher Elementary School...
Evening... 12:03AM...
KND operatives had cordoned the entire elementary school due to the infestation of spank happy vampire kids while the Rebellion vehicles aimed a lot of floodlights on the school to prevent any spank happy vampires from getting out. They were able to rescue the kids but when Hoagie asked where is his little brother, the 1st grader said that they are still inside, fighting against the spank happy vampire kids. Numbuh 2 was ready to charge in until more kids came out... the former spank happy vampire kids who had hurting butts and reeking of garlic. Fanny Fulbright, Numbuh 86 was also among the group, also reeking of garlic and is carried around like a princess by Wayne. Normally, she was a very loud and obnoxiously misandrist girl as Chad remembered how he once worked with her but she's very silent and he could have sworn that he saw her blushing a little once Wayne dropped her off to the KND medics to check onto.
Whatever happened in there, Wayne must have convinced her to shut up and not put up with her terrible attitude. Then again, he's the one who chews out the Commander whenever he does something unreasonable to the budget of the Rebellion. Chad would make sure that he will not be a receiving end of any of those
Tommy and Terry came out last with a tied and bounded adult villain, a bald man in black, wearing a tacky bowtie, pale skin and scowling as he was not able to continue his plans to bring justice to the city full of naughty people. Tommy on the other hand was quite proud of himself that he had helped in capturing an adult villain who might have unleashed. The boy was now wearing a black cap that had sigils on it that allowed him to have a small magical forcefield on him. His equally black cape has enough runes to allow him to fly like Terry, much to Wayne's annoyance and be able to act as a weapon as well. His gloves have magical drawings on it that allows Tommy to be able to be stronger than any normal kid. His shoes have patches on it that allows Tommy to move faster than normal. His garlic machine gun on one hand and a special boomerang/melee weapon that Wayne made on the fly and Terry enchanted to return to Tommy when he wills it to return to him.
Hoagie was shocked at Tommy's appearance while the kids from earlier were cheering that Tommy's back.
"This stuff is so cool. Can I keep it?" Tommy asked Wayne and Terry, the former coming forward to meet with the two.
"Sure." the Stark brothers replied in unison, causing Tommy to smile widely.
"We also added a little something something that would allow those clothes to adjust itself in case you have some little growing up in years." Terry crossed his arms, "Just... make sure you wash and clean them often."
"You naughty, naughty bunch! I am only doing something righteous! You are keeping me from being able bring justice in this neighborhood filled with naughty people of all kinds! Baron Slapcelot will not forgive this transgressions and-..." before the self-styled dhampir baron could continue, Wayne stuffed his mouth with a cloth and effectively gagged the man who tried to do terrible things to his little brother.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Mr. Slapper. I heard it a hundredth time already. Just take this moron away before he does something stupid again." Wayne said as the teen rebels and KND operatives are discussing on where will they put the dhampir away, "Hope you like prison food, you nutty fake."
"So... what are you going to do next after this?" Chad asked as the background shows that the teen and kid medics are at work in making sure that no kids have any lasting injuries after being spanked multiple times by the Baron and his turned minions.
"Well... I'd probably get some sleep after getting something to eat... all that fighting made me hungry..." Wayne said as he held his grumbling stomach, "I missed out on pizza night too when I had to come here and help Terry save his friends."
"Oh oh oh! Can I come too? I'm kinda hungry too." Terry was raising his hand as his stomach grumbled as well.
"Me too! Me too!" Tommy joined in as well as he came to the two, much to Numbuh 2's shock.
"Well, the supply truck we brought should have food and soda that we stocked up for the siege." Chad thumbed the large truck with a compartment that had a teen rebel distributing food to the kids who might be hungry after missing their dinners thanks to the fake teacher's hypnotism and turning them into spank happy vampires even though he's a mere dhampir.
"Oh sweet mercies... food." the trio decided to go to the supply truck to also get food there as well.
Meanwhile, on the KND's side, Nigel and Abby came to Fanny's side, who is still suffering thanks to her butt being spanked enough times before she turned into a spank happy vampire and turned back to normal after spanking the fake teacher until she became human once more. Numbuh 86 is still out of it as she remembered how the teenager berated her. He was harsh beyond anything and told her to her face that she's a boy-hating, idiotic, impatient, loudmouth, arrogant, unpleasant, unhinged, eternally angry little girl who let her emotions get the better of her and created even more spank-happy vampires when she underestimated them just because they were boys. Wayne could have made her cry but instead told her that she needs to improve on her attitude or else she'd make even less friends and be more isolated than she was.
"I should have just called for help..." Fanny muttered while still rubbing her behind after she was spanked into turning into a spank vampire.
"Numbuh 86, are you all right?" Nigel asked the Head of Decommissioning, who then looked sharply at him.
"N-... no, I'm not all right... my bottom still hurts after getting smacked around." 86 was about to scream but she caught herself and answered Nigel without any berating that she would usually do just because Numbuh 1's a boy, "I really jumped into that blindly..."
"Huh... Numbuh 5's surprised that you're not givin' us an earful about this." Abby was scratching the back of her head.
"It's my fault this mess happened. I shouldn't have came in here, thinking that I'll do better than any of the boy operatives..." she looked down as she remembered how she and the kids she rescued were captured and turned despite Wayne telling her to stay with the group instead of trying to break out of Gallagher on her own, "Now a teen rescued me from a lifetime of spanking bottoms and wonky accents."
There was silence from the trio as the background noises of kids being treated and vehicle engines are heard. Fanny looked up and to the direction of the Logistics Officer, who is enjoying his food with his little brother and the two Gilligan siblings.
"So... who was that guy anyway?" Fanny caused the two to look at the direction where she was looking and pointing, "The one who's brothers with the bo-... Terry?"
"Oh him? He's Wayne Stark, he's usually in charge of the Rebel's supplies and money. My sis said he's all right once you get to know him better." Abby said as she realized that 86 is also like Numbuh 2.
She's crushing on a teen. Had it been before the Rebels are considered as friendlies, this would be heavily berated but it's a time where teenagers are not that hostile towards them.
"I still don't trust teenagers that much but he did save me from those two couch potatoes in the past." Nigel frowned at the memory of him owing a teenager.
"Wayne huh..." was all that Fanny said as she started thinking.

Tommy and Terry would later be asked if they wanted to join the KND due to their exemplary performance during the vampire incident at the Gallagher Elementary school. The two would decline the invitation, the former stating that he will be his own anti-adult villain vigilante called as the Tommy from now on and the latter preferring to be an independent agent than to be tied to KND. There was some disappointment amongst some of the KND operatives who saw how they performed and hoping to get them on board. Though the Teen's Rebellion would name the two as honorary Teen's Rebellion members despite being kids.
Wayne would later find out that Numbuh 86 liked him once he found out from Terry that she always kept pestering him on what he liked and insisted on waiting with him to keep Terry company whenever he picks his brother up after school. Terry would at least meet with Shaunie and Paddy, two of Fanny's siblings. Wayne really should have just not tore her apart to her face verbally and pointing out her flaws before building it all back up after he wrecked her verbally.
As for Baron Slapcelot, he ended up being fired from his job and jailed in maximum security in the KND Antarctic Base for gajillion counts of spanking and turning kids into spank happy vampires. The dhampir refuse to admit his guilt despite it all and insists that he was doing something good. No one was having any of it as they further made his sentence heavy after he caused so many cases of butt pains.
Chapter 45, Wrapping the night up with a slap... or two... or many
Vlad let a wicked smirk form on his face as he slowly paced towards the fearful spank happy Vampire responsible for the ghouls in the cathedral, the culprit in question was a female teen vampire. She gave Vlad a hate filled glare within her fearful gaze, stepping back each time he stepped towards her. In her hand was held a quadruple barrel blunderbuss, the ends of the barrels smoking from recent use.
As the orange moon shone through the window of the room they were in, Vlad's shades glinted in the moonlight as he stepped ever so closer towards the female teen. In the right light, you could just make out her features of a messy platinum blonde hair that graced her head and a monocle propped on her left eye. Her appearance is almost reminiscent of a certain teenage girl with a fascination for paintball guns. "Everything was going fine till you arrived! Why you of all Vampires had to come here!" She shrieked with disdain.
Vlad let an amused smile grace his mouth as he stepped another pace closer, "You younger lot seem to forget how to curb your instincts, always quick to give in to your urges." He mused as he stepped closer to the teen girl.
Quickly popping four rounds into her gun, the female spank happy Vampire aimed her blunderbuss towards Vlad. "Not another step, I don't care if you are the progenitor, not everyone can stand the punishment rounds!" She refuted with worry on her face.
Vlad let a loud laugh escape from his mouth, "You younger lott forget what real punishment is like." He stated, and before the girl could blink, Vlad was right in front of her. Shooting her weapon in fright only for him to grab her hand holding the gun, he had her shoot upwards into the ceiling. The girl shook in fright, and released the gun in her grasp before collapsing onto the floor.
She held her hands onto her rear in fright, "You'll regret this! They will find out you are back!" She warned with fright.
Vlad stepped towards the teen with a smirk, "And they will know their time is up, it's about time I clean house of the Vampire community." He stated while standing before her, the moon shining through the window onto his back. Vlad's form casting a dark shadow over the spank happy Vampire teen, whom quivered in fear of the punishment the progenitor was known for. She gulped in feat as she tried to crawl backwards, only to hit a wall.
"Mercy for a teen girl?" She squeaked out with fear.
Vlad tutted to her, "I am afraid I am all fresh out of mercy for the misbehaving lot of your sort."

A scream echoed out throughout the cathedral, followed by loud smacking. The abrupt sound scaring off bats that dwelled under the cathedral's bell tower roof. William looked up as he had just finished putting down another ghoul, wincing in a phantom pain from the sound. "That bast-idiot better hold on to his deal for the cure." he muttered angrily while rubbing his bottom.
-scene change-
As morning broke over the village, William stood across from Bella at the airfield. With the mess of the ghouls and vampire cleaned up, their business was officially finished in Romania for the time being. Bella gave William an amused smirk as they waited for her private jet to finish getting prepped, William in turn gave her an exasperated look. "...Sooo-" She started to begin.
William held up his hand for her to stop, "Please, can I leave this country with a little dignity, I haven't felt a spanking like that in who knows how long." He gruffly stated with an eye roll.
Letting out a soft chuckle, Bella held up her hands in mock surrender. "Fine, fine, I will say though you at least didn't scream like most would, you held in your voice quite well." She complimented with a smile.
William let out a sigh of weariness, "It was a pleasure though working with you." He said while holding out a hand to shake with Bella.
Returning the gesture, She quirked her lips into a grateful smile. "Quite, the Montgomery organization will be sure to give updates on other activities if needed." She added.
Giving a nod, William returned the smile. With the pleasantry finished, the two parted ways. Bella would be taking her jet back home, while William had his own ride arrive soon.
-scene-
In an unknown location, a flip phone rang from its place on a coffee table. A hand picked it up and placed it up to the owner's ear. "I assume the project was met with failure if you called this early." The person spoke in a deep baritone male voice with a thick Spanish accent, inhaling a fat cigar after speaking.
"... …"
Smashing the cigar in anger, "What do you mean he's back!" The man yelled in anger
"... …"
With an angry growl escaping his mouth, the man squeezed his phone in anger and broke it. Throwing the useless phone away, the unknown man stood up and began heading out from his office. "That old man never ceases to annoy me!" He spat out while slamming his doors open as he exited the room.
"The Spanish Vampire inquisition will need to move their collective asses!" He bit out in anger. "I can't have that fool ruining my plans!"

-William pov-
I couldn't help but let out a relaxed sigh as I sat on an ice pack. The ride back home would take a day but enough time for the soreness to fade away, I could only deal with so much spank happy Vampires. Working with Vlad was enough to last me a year, minimal damage was done to the cathedral thankfully but my ass was another story.
I don't know how Wayne deals with it, but at least I was in a place where I could do the least amount of damage. The others might not ever know, but I don't know if Wayne could ever tell if someone had ever been a spank happy Vampire. Hopefully any questions could be answered with ease on what happened in Romania, but if worse came to worse and it slipped that Vlad 'gave' me the ability to help… I'll just have to try and be calm about it.
