Operation: B.I.T.T.E.R.-S.W.E.E.T.

[06]

DONE!!!!

But it's the saddest thing I've written so far.

___________________________________________________________________________


Numbuh 5 had gotten really worried that something horrible had happened to Numbuh 6 so she had set out to find her. She kept getting mental images of Numbuh 25 losing it and taking out Roxanne for stopping him from shooting Noah. Or Numbuh 6 getting attacked by an animal of some sort. But what she saw surprised her so much she almost thought she was dreaming. When she made sure her eyes were working properly, she just stood there watching the two operatives both covered in blood but snuggled up to each other regardless, fast asleep. She didn’t want to disturb such a beautiful image, but didn’t have any choice. It was dangerously dark and her flashlight would only last for a certain amount of time.

She knelt beside Numbuh 25 and shook his shoulder. “...Numbuh 25...wake up!” she whispered.

Fredrick opened his eyes and waited for them to adjust to the dark before he replied. “...Who are you?! And why are you waking me up?!”

“Numbuh 5 from Sector V. I was sent ta’ find you guys an’ bring ya back.”

Fredrick glanced at Numbuh 6 who was in his arms and let go. “Um...whatever.” He got up carefully and stepped back.

“Numbuh 6...wake up girl!” Abby knew that Roxanne would need some noise to wake her up, but being where they were it was too dangerous to shout.

Roxanne opened her eyes slowly and rubbed them. “...Abby...? Wh...what...did I sleep here?!” She jumped up and dusted herself off.

“We gotta get back ta camp. The boys did a nice job on thuh sheltuh though...”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at camp, everyone was asleep. Well, almost everyone. Roxanne was looking at the stars, admiring their beauty. They seemed to take all her troubles and worries away and replace them with tranquillity. She felt an overpowering sense of appreciation whenever she stargazed. Then Fredrick came to sit next to her. Roxanne only noticed he was there when he spoke.

“I thought you were asleep like the others...”

“I couldn’t sleep.” she looked dreamily up at the sky. “You?”

“Same...” He couldn’t stop looking at her. She looked so much more beautiful in the moonlight. “...Uh...I just wanted to...come and thank you for...saving me.”

She turned toward him and couldn’t help but look into his eyes. She immediately felt comfort like never before. “...You’re...you’re welcome...” It was startling...but she never wanted to stop.

In fact, neither of them did. They just sat there staring into each other’s eyes, feeling an incredible force slowly pulling them together.

But there was a loud crash that startled the two.

“It’s seems the shelter broke!” Numbuh 25 laughed, but in truth felt shattered. Numbuh 6 on the other hand, felt slightly relieved. It’s not that she didn’t feel anything, but exactly that. She felt something, something she never wants to feel again to avoid being hurt.

An assortment of noise filled the air as the kids who were in the shelter at the time tried to get the wood off them. “We should go help them.” Numbuh 6 could feel Fredrick looking at her sadly and just wanted to keep herself busy.

“Okay Eliora. We need you to try your best, but don’t exhaust yourself this time. Understand?”

“I understand perfectly Mary-Ann. I understood perfectly 5 minutes ago, and will again in 5 minutes time.”

Eleonora (being telepathic) was the group’s only chance of getting rescued, but they needed to train her power to reach further than it could already. Numbuh 27 was coaching her because she was her best friend, therefore the closest to Eleonora.

However Numbuh 6 wanted to coach her in the first place. She needed an excuse to not be around Fredrick so he wouldn’t make her feel any more guilty than she already did. But since Nigel was well enough to lead them properly, she ended up working with him from time to time. Fortunately they all rebuilt the shelter and it was much more sturdy now, so the only assignments left were gathering wood and food. This time the two of them were in charge of food. Fruit in particular. They were far from the camp but not the river which went past it.

“I’m sorry.” Numbuh 6 said as she picked a fruit off a tree.

“What for?” Fredrick was trying to forget about what had happened.

“You know.”

“It wasn’t your fault.”

Numbuh 6 put down what she was holding and faced Numbuh 25. “Then why are you making me feel like it is?!”

He threw his machete on the ground. “Because!” He moved closer to her. “You just walked away. You didn’t bother to do anything.”

“I WAS PROTECTING MYSELF!”

“FROM WHAT?!”

She started to cry. “...From falling in love with you.”

Fredrick felt pain more excruciating than he’d ever felt in his entire life. He literally felt as if someone had stabbed him with a knife. “...Why?”

“I don’t want to get hurt...not...not again.” She looked at her feet and let the tears fall, whatever they would bring. It didn’t matter to her. She’d broken someone else’s heart this time, as well as her own.

He put his hand under her chin and tilted her face upwards. “I would never hurt you. Never...”

She took his hand and pushed it away. “My heart’s been broken too many times for me to believe that...”

“That’s what you say...but what does your heart say?”

She smiled a bit. “It’s beating too loud for me to hear.”

“Then let me help you...” He leant forward and was about to get his second chance when there was a piercing shriek coming from camp.

“Mary-Ann...” Numbuh 6 started running to see what was wrong.

“...Again. ...Why does this happen to me?!” He grabbed his machete and followed.

Then part of the forest they were in was blown to pieces as a teen ninja was searching for them. They narrowly escaped the explosion but the teen had found them. They ran for their lives with the enemy not too far behind, but when they got to camp they froze in horror. Everything that was there had been destroyed, and all their team-mates captured.

“What have they done?!” Roxanne was furious. So furious in fact, she started giving off a tremendous amount of heat. She was literally flaming.

This startled Fredrick. “She never mentioned she had powers...” he thought. “...And neither had her team for that matter. And if she did, then why didn’t she use them before?”

She was now slightly off the ground projecting fire at the teenagers and yelling in an unknown language. Then one of them came and grabbed her from behind. Suddenly the sky darkened and a thunderstorm came out of nowhere. She screamed things no one had ever heard before and tried to break free.

Chad came and stood right in front of her. “This one looks dangerous...we’ll take her directly to Father himself.” She shouted at him and spat directly in his eye. He wiped it away and picked up a rock. “You’ll pay for that you little brat!” He hit her right on the head with it, knocking her out.

Fredrick had been too busy watching in astonishment to notice he too had been captured. All he could do was watch them take her away, helpless, the storm going even stronger.

____________________________________________________


Numbuh 6 woke up in total darkness. Weak from using her powers and unable to see anything, she could only manage to sit up, leaning against the wall. She heard the sound of an engine roaring and wheels on a dirt road. She figured she was in a truck-like vehicle. She put her ear against the cold metal wall and listened to the voices on the other side.

“How far until we get to the Delightful’s mansion?”

“About 20 minutes...”

“Do you think that brat’s awake yet?”

“I dun-” He was cut off by a crash and then a horrible cracking sound. Numbuh 6 heard the wheels screech and then was blinded by light as the doors opened.

“Come on Numbuh 6. We’re here to help.” She couldn’t see who was there but let them take her away, hoping it would be somewhere good. She was placed in a stretcher of some kind and then fell asleep, too exhausted to stay awake.

------------------------------------------------------

Numbuh 25 was sitting with the others in a kind of prison, dimly lit by a small light at the top of a very high ceiling. He didn’t want to talk to any of them. He didn’t want to talk at all. He didn’t want to think, move or feel anything either. He just wanted to disappear. He hated himself for getting so caught up in what he felt and not concentrating on his job. He felt useless, and just wanted to die.

But his session of self-hatred was interrupted by Numbuh 1’s communicator ringing. “Hello?”

“Numbuh 1! This is Numbuh 35 of Global Command! We found Numbuh 6! She’s been badly injured by an unknown force. Where are you guys?!”

This news made Fredrick feel even worse. He had seriously endangered the one person he cared about...and there was nothing he could do.

“We were stranded in the middle of somewhere far away for 2 days and you still had your communicator?!” Noah was furious that his hair had been ‘endangered’ in such conditions longer than it should have been.

“My communicator has had a very near-range signal ever since Numbuh 4 decided to flush it down the toilet.”

“AH TOLD YA! TEENAGUHS COULD’A BUGGED IT!” Numbuh 4 had his certain reasons for doing the very stupid things he did.

“Guys! Where are you!” Numbuh 35 was getting annoyed by the disruptions.

“All the rest of us are together and in some sort of prison. Probably in the Delightful Mansion.”

“We’ll do our best to track you down. But it won’t be easy to get you out.”

“It never is...” The door opened and Nigel hid his communicator as the Delightful Children entered.

“Good Evening prisoners.” They chorused in their freakish tone. “We hope you’re very uncomfortable.”

“We were doing just fine until you came.” Numbuh 2 was angry that they made him miss his late afternoon snack.

They walked closer to the bars. “We were going to feed you, but then we decided that you don’t deserve it! So we’ll leave you here to starve until tomorrow!” Numbuh 17 burst into tears at the thought of no food, and while Eleonora tried to comfort her, the Delightfuls just smiled at the sight of someone suffering. “See you tomorrow, Kids Next Door...” They walked to the doorway and looked back. “...Or not.” They laughed their annoying, pitiful laugh as the door shut behind them.

Nigel stood up. “We’ve got to get out of here! Numbuh 29, can you teleport yourself out and find the keys for this lock?”

“I already tried. They’ve put an impenetrable force field on the inside. I can’t get past it.” He was still angry at the fact Numbuh 1 had a communicator all along.

“Eleonora, can you contact the Delightfuls mentally and get them to let us out?”

“I’m still quite weak from using my power earlier.” Eleonora had managed to calm Numbuh 17 down.

“Numbuh 27?” Nigel was feeling quite desperate to find someone who could help.

Mary-Ann rocked back and forth where she was. “Cr...craaaackers. Craaaackers...”

“I don’t think she’ll be able to break the lock. They would’ve made it immune to supersonic sound.” Numbuh 28 had to speak for her friend suffering from ‘cracker-deprivation’.

“Numbuh 26? Can’t you do...that hypnotizing thing you do?”

“Are you kidding? Two of them are girls! It won’t work.”

“Of course. Numbuh 25, please tell me you have something that can melt those bars!” Nigel really was desperate now.

Fredrick tossed a laser across the floor to Nigel. “You can try but they would’ve thought of that.”

Nigel prayed that it would work and fired it at the bars. But they just turned white-hot and held strong.

“...Told you.” Fredrick felt just as useless as before. He remembered that night Roxanne saved him. He remembered how it felt when she looked at him. He remembered how it felt when she was near him. He remembered how it felt when he held her. He started to fill up with anger. He felt absolute fury like never before. The Delightful Children took her away from him. They took away the only person he didn’t hate. They needed to pay. He imagined the most excruciating things possible that could happen to them. There was a cry of pain. It came from the Delightful Children. This was what he wanted. And he wanted to hurt them more. So they could feel the pain he did. Their screams got louder and more piercing. The sound of it echoed throughout the mansion, and his mind, egging him on.

Eleonora could hear his thoughts of revenge, and would usually disapprove, but she also felt the Delightfuls needed to pay. However he was getting carried away, so she entered the Delightfuls’ mind. “If you want this to stop, I suggest you let us out. Fredrick here has discovered his power, and hasn’t even touched his full ability yet. So do you want to keep us here, or for the pain to stop?”

They stood for a moment trying to decide what to do. Then Fredrick intensified the pain he was causing them. They ran to the prison cell and let the prisoners out. “NOW PLEASE STOP IT! WE BEG OF YOU”

“We’re waiting until we’re outside first.” Eleonora was the only one other than Fredrick who knew what was going on.

“GOOOOOOOOO!” The Delightfuls literally tried to push each of them out the door. Once the others trusted the situation, they walked out just as all the escape pods landed.

The scene was a bit strange. The prisoners were free without any signs of harm, and the Delightfuls were crying their eyes out for the pain to stop. “Do I want to know?” Numbuh 35 was extremely confused.

And so was almost everyone else. “I’d like to know too!” But Nigel the most confused of all.

“Let’s just say, we know what Fredrick can do now.” Eleonora was feeling very proud.

Fredrick finally let the Delightfuls free, feeling satisfied with the sight of them collapsing.

“Take us to the Medical Headquarters immediately! We must see Numbuh 6!” Numbuh 1 was anxious about what happened to her. And so was Numbuh 25 for that matter, but he couldn’t let the others know.
