Am I Doomed To Be Alone?

Truths Coming To Light

Operation I.T:

Indecisive 

Time

After this... Operation Z.E.R.O!

My Pov

I was hiding. Numbuh 362 called a meeting for all KND operatives. She announced that she was retiring as Supreme Leader and issued a game of tag. This could be done once a year in order to chose a new leader. Whoever was 'it' by the end of the time limit was the new leader. I really didn't want to be it. I'd crack on the first day. I heard kids yelling. I looked and saw Numbuh 2 running after them. Okay, he was it. I backed up until I felt something hit me on the head. I fell to the ground and heard the frantic voices of the DCFDTL.

DCFDTL: "Father! What did you do?"

Father: "What does it matter? Now, take her back to the house and keep the brat under lock and key."

DCFDTL: "Yes Father..." I felt myself being picked up and carried. "Please forgive us Erika." That's when my consciousness faded away. When I came to, I found I couldn't move. I opened my eyes and saw I was tied up. I tried to move, but no luck. I saw the DCFDTL sitting on a chair across from me.

Me: "What's going on?"

DCFDTL: "Numbuh 2 tagged Father just as time ran out, making Father Supreme Leader. And now, Father has spread broccoli throughout all the Sector treehouses of the Kids Next Door. He said that the only way kids could get rid of it was by eating it."

Me: "Just when I think he can't stoop any lower, he does. You guys have to untie me. I have to stop him."

DCFDTL: "We can't disobey Father. We'd be punished."

Me: "You can't sit there and tell me that you're actually okay with this?"

Bruce: "No! Of course not."

David: "Even we can't bear the thought of eating broccoli."

Ashley: "It's disgusting!"

Lenny: "We may be well-behaved and obedient children..."

Constance: "But we can't stand broccoli as much as anyone."

Me: "Then why help him? Seriously! What is it going to take for you to see that he's never cared about you guys and he never will? What does he have to do for you to see that?" I saw the mirror that sat on the far side of the room. "Go to the mirror and take a good, long look at yourselves." They reluctantly did so.

DCFDTL's Pov

We walked over to the mirror. We looked for only a minute before our images began to change. They morphed and changed colors before our reflections had changed drastically. We each wore heavily-clothed military and samurai fatigues with gray/black and red/green features. It was our KND selves from Erika's photo. We stumbled backwards as the reflections started pounding on the mirror, as if wanting to get out. Then they vanished.

Erika: "So?" We looked at the mirror and then at her. We walked over and untied her. Then we handed her the module.

All: "You might need this to find him."

Erika: "Thanks." She went to run, but we stopped her.

All: "Wait. One more thing."

Erika: "What?"

All: "Please... find a way to change us back." She seemed surprised by what we said.

Erika: "I will. I figure something out. I promise." She ran out of the house and went to Moonbase.

All: "Good luck... Numbuh 0.6."

My Pov

I hurried through the whole Moonbase, looking for another operative. I couldn't find anyone. As I reached a corner, I heard rapid footsteps coming my way. I took out my S.P.I.C.E.R. and waited. When they got close enough, I jumped out and pointed my S.P.I.C.E.R. at whoever it was. That's when I saw it was Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 362.

Numbuh 362: "Stand down, Numbuh 7! It's only us."

Me: "Oh good. Where's Father?"

Numbuh 1: "We can't find him. He multiplied himself and we've looked everywhere."

Me: "Maybe this will help us." I took out the module.

Numbuh 362: "How did you get that? The Delightful Children had it."

Me: "I managed to get it." We used it and managed to find Father. However, he was hidden behind a large wall of broccoli.

Numbuh 362: "There's only one way to get to him." Then, she did one of the bravest things I've ever seen a kid do; she ate through the broccoli. She kept going until she reached Father. She held a piece of broccoli up to his face, demanding he tag her. He did and she collapsed. For a week, she was unconscious. I noticed that aside from me and the medics, Numbuh 1 was the only one who visited Rachel every day.

Me: "Say, Numbuh 1? Why do you come here every single day?"

Numbuh 1: "I feel like I could have done something to keep Rachel from going that far."

Me: "You did what you could. Although I think you also come here because you like Rachel." He blushed and started stuttering. Clear sign I was right.

Numbuh 1: "D-D-Don't be ridiculous. I'm with Lizzie, remember?"

Me: "Yeah, but Nigel... do you still feel that way about Lizzie?" He seemed to think about, but before he answered Rachel shot up.

Numbuh 362: "We have to stop Father!" We explained to her that we had removed Father and the DCFDTL's boogers from the module. She took back her position as the KND Supreme Leader. I went back to the treehouse to see the DCFDTL there.

Me: "What are you guys doing here? You could get beaten up if you're caught."

DCFDTL: "We'll be fine. You look tired. Lay down." They patted a part of my bed. I sat down and crawled onto Constance, Bruce and Ashley's laps. I felt the five of them take strands of my hair and start to braid them. It made me feel sleeping so I drifted off and started dreaming.

...

...

...

In my dream, it was dark first, but then the whole area became a greenish color. Then, these strange circular symbols started floating around. That's when my eyes fell on five certain symbols. Held on to each symbol, as if shackled to it, was Sector Z.

Me: "Guys! Guys!" They didn't hear me. They all looked to be asleep, except they all had a pained expression on their face. "Numbuh 0.1! Numbuh 0.2! Numbuh 0.3! Numbuh 0.4! Numbuh 0.5! Bruce! David! Ashley! Lenny! Connie! Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP! "

...

...

...

I snapped awake to find the DCFDTL gone. That's it. I'm finding a way to save them now. I went over to Uncle Monty's house. I went into the attic and started looking through boxes. I was about to give up when I came across a blueprint. I looked and saw it was for the Recommissioning Module that was in the museum. That's when I saw it was signed by Numbuh 0. Why would Uncle Monty have this? It dawned on me. Uncle Monty was Numbuh 0. I left and started working on a new module. After about 3 hours, I finished it. All I needed was a power source over eleventy-billion. I thought where I could get something like that. Then I remembered the Moonbase used a lot of power to function and I had even seen portable generators. Numbuh 3362 had told me that the generators had a power of about twenty-billion. I realized that I would have to steal one. I put my plan into action. I snuck onto Moonbase and swiped a generator without drawing attention. I knew it wouldn't go unnoticed for much longer. What I didn't realize was that the biggest battle of ours lives was about to unfold.
