Last chapter!
Father stared at the young boy and chuckled "What could a shrimp like you possibly do to m-" he was kicked in the face mid sentence by Wally. Father fell to the floor and looked at the boy in front of him.
Something was different, Numbuh 4 was more fired up than ever before. His emerald eyes burned with rage torwards Father, and his heart burned with his love for Numbuh 3. Father could tell now that this wasn't the same Numbuh 4 he dealt with earlier. He had no fears holding him back, and a will to keep on fighting till the very end.
Father got up and cracked his neck from side to side. "Well, looks like things just got a little more interesting." he was a bit amused. He launched a fireball in Wally's direction, but he quickly dodged with a side roll and jumped over the next two fireballs that were thrown at him. A fourth fireball was launched directly at Numbuh 4, but he just kicked it away with his leg. In a brief moment he dashed over to Father and hit him in the jaw with an uppercut and followed by a roundhouse kick in the chest.
The blow sent Father back a few feet. "I underestimated you kid. I thought you'd be popin a bunch of snarky remarks at me, but your completely focused and serious." Father commented. Wally did not reply and only waited for his opponent to stand up. "However, no matter what you do, you still can't win." Father stood up and sent a wave of flames across the floor. Numbuh 4 did a aerial somersault and landed on his feet and then rolled to the side when more flames were thrown at him. "Hold still!" Father was getting really annoyed now.
Numbuh 4 circled the room and launched a kick at Father who step out of the way just in time. When 4 landed he quickly sent a punch to father as he stood beside him, he managed to catch him off guard and landed the punch. He then proceeded with a combo of punches and kicks and chops, Father was trying his hardest to block them, but they were so fast and endless that he was unable to keep up. Numbuh 4 launched another roundhouse kick at Father but his leg was caught mid kick. "Time to burn!" Father laughed maniacly as fire stormed out of his hands and onto the boys leg. Numbuh 4 ignored this and proceeded to spin his body and flipped Father over and himself up standing.
"No! I refuse to be defeated by this idiot!" Father screamed as he got up and launched himself at Numbuh 4, he began making the biggest fireball of the day and sent it flying right for Numbuh 4. The Australian boy did not flinch and instead took a step to the side. Revealing behind his back was the soul sucker. Father watched in horror as the fireball collided with the machine and destroyed it "NO!" he yelled. The machine was now a pile of burnt parts, and the gem shattered on the floor, releasing different lights as it broke. Most of them flew outside but one of them went over torwards a certain Asian girl.
"You-You destroyed my machine! I am going to kill you!" he engulfed himself in flames and ran torwards the boy. He launched a flaming fist at the young boy. But he just stood there and pulled his arm out and caught the punch as it headed torwards him. He lifted his gaze up to the flaming man in front of him, his eyes held in a raging glare and he simply said "You've lost." he pushed back with all his might and the force sent Father flying across the room and through the wall.
The boy watched Father flew out of sight as he began to let the rage subside. His expression now was one of sadness and he turned to the black haired girl on the other side of the room. He walked over to her and lifted her into his arms again. He rested his head on her shoulder and let his tears flow down onto her sweater.
Unknown to him, when the gem broke, it released the newly collected energy from Kuki and sent it back into her body. As Wally wept he felt something. doki, doki. He felt a heart beat. His eyes shot open and he lifted his head off of her shoulders and looked at her. He could see that she was breathing again and her body had regained its color. She was alive again. Suddenly her eyes started to open and slowly she woke up and look at the boy holding her.
"Wally..."
Hearing his name come out of her lips, the boy smiled. His tears of joy turned to tears of happiness "Kuki...Your aloive..." his voice rose in happiness as he spoke. Kuki sat up and smiled at him. He let go off her and backed away for a second...until he pulled her in for a hug. "Oih- Oih thought Oi lost yeh Kuki." he said softly. Kuki took a moment to be surprised by his actions before tearfully smiling and wrapping her arms around him too. She was surprised to see him crying in front of her, and for her as well. Even Numbuh 4 himself was surprised, he never gave other people hugs, heck he hated it when people hugged him. But he was just so happy to have Numbuh 3 back that he didn't care.
"Wally...you'll never lose me..." Kuki said quietly into his ear. The two of them sat there in each others arms for a few moments before pulling away. They stared into each others eyes and Wally started "Kuki...Oi'm sorry for all the things that happened earlier. Oi didn't mean any of it." "I forgive you Wally. You were just worried about me earlier, it's my fault I fell for that trap and ran away. And I want to apologies for that and for all those other fights recently too." She smiled at him. The two accepted each others apology the then Numbuh 4 thought 'Its now or never'.
"Kuki...Oi need teh tell you something." he began. His face was blushing and he looked nervous. He grabbed her hand in his and took a deep breath then looked at her and continued "For a long toime now...oi've been trying tah tell yeh this but Oi always got interrupted...so here it is...Kuki...Oi love you."
Numbuh 3 looked at him with wide eyes and smiled happily. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear that." she said as her eyes formed tears of joy. "I love you too Wally." he looked at her with the biggest smile he ever had "Really!?" "Yeah, really," they smiled at each other once more, and then the two leaned in together.
And their lips touched.
They felt like nothing else existed except for the other. It was the moment they had been waiting for, and it was perfect. They stayed like that for a minute before parting. And then took the moment to lean their foreheads together and shared a loving glance.
"Well ain't that sweet."
Their heads whipped around to see the rest of sector V standing in the doorway. Numbuh 5 had her arms crossed as she leaned against the doorway and smirked at them and the others shared the same look as her. "How long we're ya standing there!" Numbuh 4 shouted nervously. "We just got here a second ago, right in time to see you two lock lips." Numbuh 2 smiled. 3 and 4 got up and walked over to their teammates. "We managed to destroy the jewel and stop Fathers evil plan." Numbuh 3 told her friends. "We know, Father landed right next to Numbuh 2 when we were outside. We came in running soon after." Numbuh 1 explained. "And that's not the only thing that happened! When the jewel broke it sent out tons of beams of energy that spread through the valley and brought it back to life!" Numbuh 5 informed them. 3 and 4 looked out of the hole in the wall to find that it was indeed true. The valley was lush and green and the sky was a shining blue.
"I guess that wraps everything up huh?" Numbuh 2 said. The team was walking back to the S.C.A.M.E.R. And admiring the newly revived valley. Numbuh 6 ran up to Numbuh 3 and gave her a real flower. "Aw, thanks Bradley." the skunk blushed in reply. Numbuh 5 looked back to Numbuh 2 and asked "So what's gonna happen to this place now?" Numbuh 1 walked over and said "When global command was taking Father away, Numbuh 362 told me that she's going to build a special KND vacation base here." Numbuh 2 looked at his friends and said "This calls for a celebration! Let's all get I've cream!" 1 and 5 nodded in agreement as they walked Over to the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., Numbuh 6 ran up to then and made a noise that sounded like a yes.
Numbuh 2 turned around and called out. "Hey Numbuh 4, Numbuh 3, you guys wanna come and get ice cream with us?" Numbuh 4 looked over to his friend and said "Naw, you guys go ahead. Right now, Oi just wanna spend a little time with moi girlfriend." he looked over to Numbuh 3 as she stood next to him. The two looked at each other happily as they walked over to the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. Together, hand in hand.
And so ends this story. I'm not sure if I will ever write a direct sequel to this, but I am planning another multi chapter Knd story starring a certain operative who's a cyborg.
I hope you all enjoyed it.
