The AU Game

[rubywings91]

I'm not sure I understand how your game works. Do we just describe an AU for the KND or do we write a short story for that Universe?

[rubywings91]

Here's one that I have in my head:

The GKND don't exist and Nigel does not go off into deep space. The splinter cell is real and if the KND doesn't stop them they may succeed in destroying all adults. The problem is attempting to do so might tear the organization apart through fear and suspicion. The Villains also find out about it and eventually come to view it as a real threat, too. This makes them even more focused on destroying the KND.

An AU where the plan to crash the Moon Base into Grandfather did not work out and the KND have to come up with another plan(I am currently doing a FanFiction with this one).

[rubywings91]

I just sent the link.
An AU where Sector V did not manage to rescue Numbuh One During Operation Awards and have to break into a villains lair to rescue him.

[rubywings91]

That would be interesting.
An AU where, instead of Hoagie just dreaming about beds coming to life and bringing their kids to a whirlpool to Nowhere, it really happens (minus everything from Kissing Cree onward), leading to a crossover with Courage the Cowardly Dog when they were deposited to the farmhouse in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas (it wouldn't be the weirdest way that people had arrived there).

If someone could write that, it would be cool. An AU where Numbuh 1 decided to go with everyone else instead of Numbuh 362 after the tag game in which Father becomes Supreme Leader.

How about this: an AU where Sector V lives in a semi-realistic world: no supernatural villains, fantastical gadgets and bases, or talking hamsters. But it's a world where kids are constantly denied their rights by corrupt, vindictive or moronic adults. The final straw for Nigel is when he gets caught breaking a curfew (which had been implemented because local grown-ups thought that kids made too much noise at night). As a result, Nigel and his friends have teamed up to fight against injustice in Cleveland, with help from some of the nicer adults.

Well as long as we're going to go into dark AUs...

An Alternate Universe cross over with Bioshock. Some of Rapture's ships find the KND Undersea Research Fascility and attack it to dismantle it and use it's parts for repairs to the city. Many operatives are captured or killed during the attack, the surviving prisoners brought back to Rapture, as the city must remain secret.

The KND track down these ships and find Rapture. After trying to get their captured operatives peacefully fails, they start fighting to get into the city, retrieve the kids and get out. Unfortunately the end result is more kids getting trapped there, trying to figure out an escape from the inside. All the while they struggle not only to stay alive but to stay sane.

This AU sounds like it has potential. I'm never seen Bioshock before, though. What's it about?

[rubywings91]

I've never gotten to play it, but I've seen walkthroughs. My understanding of is that there is a city over twenty leagues under the sea. It was originally built by a man who wanted to make a place where people could work for their own interests, rather than in the interest of society or religion. Well, a lot went wrong in this city. For starters, it was built in a way that made it susceptible to leaks. A lot of groups got in a fight for power and a substance called adam, which allowed people to mess with their own DNA, drove most of the city's inhabitants into madness.

In the game, the main character arrives at a lighthouse in the middle of the ocean in 1960, when a plane he is in crashes. In the lighthouse is a submersible which takes him to this city as it is falling apart.

If I had a system that this game could be played on and could find the game itself, I would get it but I don't, so I just settle for watching the walkthrough.

[rubywings91]

Here's one I thought of after watching Operation WHITEHOUSE. I was trying to picture how an alternate reality such as the one Numbuh One found himself in could happen. The idea I got was something along the following lines:

when Nigel was really young both of his parents died, probably in an accident. His legal guardian in this AU would be Father. In this Universe, Father would never create the DCFDTL because he would be attached to his nephew and feel that no other child could possibly measure up to him (thus Nigel would never become bald because there were no Delightful Children to do this to him).

Since the KND doesn't seem to check the background of the kids they allow to join the KND (evidence: Mr. Boss's daughter is one of the highest ranking members of the organization) Father convinces Nigel to infiltrate the organization and act as a spy, and he proved to be extremely successful at it. The boy does become attached to his teammates though and as they approach thirteen, Numbuh One comes up with a plan to prevent them from being decommissioned, probably one that would leave the rest KND shocked and horrified.

Most of his friends are grateful and follow him in future endeavors, as he decides to go into politics. The only exception being Abigail Lincoln, who is disgusted by her leaders actions and fights against him. She will later be captured and imprisoned for her acts against adulthood while Nigel rises through the political ranks and Father, who couldn't be prouder of the nephew he raised, acts as his campaign manager. Eventually, Nigel becomes President, and his friends end up where we see them in the episode.

Obviously, in this reality, Nigel and Lizzie still become boyfriend and girlfriend but they don't ever break up. Unfortunately, Nigel is so consumed by his political career that he neglects his family, so much so that he doesn't always remember that he even has a son.

Thanks.

Another one I had is a version of the series where Nigel breaks up with Lizzie after she used a boyfriend helmet on him.

I feel that, although in later episodes, she did improve and in a way, it was very fitting that she broke up with Nigel because he couldn't seem to put her before his job, the use of that helmet in the beginning would have been a very good reason for Nigel to dump her then and there. She took away his free will, possibly forever if the device had fused with his head. She even told him to destroy his friends when they tried to rescue him.

[delattre]

In my opinion the ending of that episode was one of the lowest points of the show. Nigel is angry for about two seconds, and then he suddenly moves on. No hesitation, no arguing, nothing. What, did the helmet give him short-term amnesia?

[rubywings91]

I agree, I don't like the way it ended either. I'd like to think it was just the confiscated Headband that was being used on him messing up when it was being shut down. It wouldn't surprise me if he got short term amnesia from it, too. It has to be pretty powerful to make Nigel believe he's in an alternate universe and any glitches could probably really mess with a kids head. Think about what happened toward the end of the first time Nigel had that thing used on him. I could imagine that, if Chester's happy headbands had gotten commercialized, they would probably have very damaging affects if used on kids for extended time periods.

No wonder why the Cartoon Hero decided to put "Operation: L.I.Z.Z.I.E." as the #9 spot in his personal list of "Top 10 Worst Episodes of Good Cartoons". Try watching it on YouTube if you can. This leads me to another AU idea: Lizzie is taken prisoner by the KND at the end of the episode...
