Welcome back, peoples. Here, we will meet Alternate Sector V. Here we go!

Chapter 4: A Brother From Another Dimension


Cheren was surrounded by six strange kids, wielding weapons. The one in the middle had dark-blonde hair, a red hoodie, baggy jeans, and sunglasses. The next one, a girl, had sandy brown hair, hazel eyes, a black shirt, white undershirt, red pants, and black shoes. The second girl, who looked Asian, had wavy black hair, green eyes, a light purple shirt, dark purple skirt, and white shoes. The third girl had brown hair in pigtails, an aviator's hat, blue eyes, a pink t-shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes. The second boy wore a red t-shirt, khaki pants, black boots, had black hair, black eyes, and a yellow cap. Finally, the third boy, who was the shortest, had blond hair, blue eyes, wore glasses, a white t-shirt with black sleeves, black shorts, and black shoes.

"I said, who are you." Demanded the blond boy wearing sunglasses.

Cheren shook back into reality and replied, "My name is Cheren Uno, Numbuh 3621 and Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door."

At this, the five kids shot looks to their leader. "Well, don't at me! He isn't my brother!" the sunglasses boy shouted.

"Maybe your parents ditched him." the pigtailed girl said.

"Look, dude, we already got a Supreme Leader, and he ain't you." The sandy-haired girl said.

"I AM Supreme Leader! And you guys aren't supposed to be here! This treehouse belongs to Sector V!"

"We ARE Sector V! Stupid!" The yellow-capped boy shouted. "You're the one that came shooting out of the sky at Mr. Brown's house down the street!"

“Huh? Wait a minute…” Cheren looked away and thought to himself… "When my dad told me about The Chronicler talking about different dimensions…” he said quietly to himself, “he said that some things in alternate universes can be the same, but others can be different. So that means… I must have successfully jumped space with the machine… and ended up in a world where Sector V’s kids are different!”

“Wanna speak up there?” the leader asked.

Cheren turned around and faced them. “Okay, I’m going to try to explain as best I can: My name is Cheren Uno, and I come from an alternate universe that’s parallel to this one. In my universe, a friend of mine was possessed by a demon that lives inside this evil mask, and they gathered a bunch of other demons before creating a portal that supposedly jumped to this one. That’s when I followed them here using a Dimensional Transportifier that my friend created- she’s a spacebender. And, my dad told me one time that a dragon spirit told him that other universes can have similar qualities, but different outcomes for some things, so I think that’s why you guys are a different Sector V than the ones I appointed.”

The six kids just stood there speechless, confused as heck. “…So, when do the men in the white coats come and take you to the happy hotel?” Melissa asked.

Cheren smacked his forehead. “How simple do you want me to get??”

“I dunno, guys. He might be telling the truth.” The sandy-brown girl said.

“Is he??” they all chorused.

“I dunno. But remember when we went back in time and met our parents? And then that crazy thing with Anne-Marie and Nixon started? What if he’s… I dunno, related to Harry or something?”

“Who’re your parents?” the leader, Harry, demanded.

“Nigel Uno and Rachel McKenzie.” Cheren stated.

Harry raised an eyebrow. “That’s impossible. My parents are Nigel and Rachel!”

“So you’re the ‘Uno’ of this dimension.” Cheren concluded.

“Uugh!” Harry shook his head. “This whole thing with alternate universes is driving me crazy! Look, if you’re really from another universe, you’re gonna have to show us proof.”

“Warning. Warning. Disturbance at the park.” The computer spoke just then as red alarmed blared. The TV screen in the living room projected the image of several monstrous figures terrorizing children at the playground. Leading them appeared to be the Gekko, who waved his arm excitedly as he rode on his giant turtle.

“NOW do you believe me?”

“We’ll hold you to it. C’mon!” Harry ordered as the lot of them hurried to the hangar.

Gallagher Park

Lots of kids everywhere screamed and ran frantically around the playground as demons charged in, grabbing one by one. A little girl was snatched by the shirt by a muscular Moblin, who pulled her over between himself and another Moblin as she shook around, terrified. “Aww, don’t be scared, little girl. Majora just feels bad for bein’ away for too long.”

The other Moblin peeled off a Majora’s Mask sticker and said, “Here. By yourself a souvenir.” As he pressed the sticker to her forehead.

She ran off crying as the Moblin cheered, “Hehehe, yeah!” and high-fived, squeezing the others’ palm.

As other kids ran by, a single, grey frog fearfully backed up against a fence. He shivered with fright as the massive turtle approached him with the Gekko on its back. The hungry lizard licked his lips, smiling deviously. “He-e-ok. HAGAAAAHHK!” He was ready to snatch the frog in his mouth when a shield shot over and bashed him in the head, knocking him off the turtle. He recovered in time to see the shield return to Cheren, who caught it on his right arm as the Alternate Sector V team stood behind him. “Sdiqoop.” He yelped, leaping onto his turtle. “Hmrink. Hmrink. Hmrink.” He smacked his turtle and ordered it to get away.

“Kids Next Door, battle stations!” Cheren exclaimed.

“Hey!” the sandy-brown haired girl yelled. “You ain’t our leader!”

“That’s me.” Harry said. “Ahem: Kids Next Door, BATTLE STATIONS!”

The demons charged forth as the operatives began to attack. A squad of Miniblin surrounded Harry and poked him with pitchforks, but he sent them running by burning them with a S.P.I.C.E.R.. A group of Chuchus slowly wobbled over to the Asian girl, who easily froze them solid with her F.R.A.P.P.E. before kicking and shattering them. The gooey substance was scattered around the ground as she stuck her finger into one and licked it off. “Mmmm! This is tastier than the new Rainbow Monkey Rainbow Jelly!”

The short blond boy was approached by the two buff Moblin, who swung spears which he swiftly flipped and dodged. “Take this!” the sandy-brown haired girl exclaimed before shooting a teddybear from her T.H.U.M.P.E.R. at the back of one of the Moblin. The stuffed toy had no effect on his hard skin as they turned around, the Moblin grabbing the girl by the shirt collar.

“Looks like this one forgot to get a sticker.” The Moblin said as the girl tried to shake from his grasp.

“I got a nice big one… for her face!” The other Moblin said as he presented a rather large Majora’s Mask sticker. Before he could stick it on, Cheren Uno leapt over, sliced the sticker with his sword, then sliced the Moblin holding the girl across the chest.

“OW!” he yelped, dropping the child. The sandy-brown girl punched the Moblin upside the chin before leaping and kicking off the other one’s face.

“Thanks for the save.” She said to Cheren. “Oh, and my name’s Celeste, so you don’t have to keep calling me ‘sandy-brown girl’ or whatever.”

“I never called you that.”

“Really? Must be something else, then.”

Two other Moblin grabbed the yellow-capped boy by the arms, but he flipped overhead and made them bash faces against each other. Swarms of Kargarok were flying overhead with Bokoblins riding them, shooting arrows down below. The aviator-hatted girl dodged the arrows and fired juice cartons with her B.A.J.O.O.K.A., knocking the demons off of their birds as they collided on the ground, covered in OJ. “Blech. Vitamin C.” one said before fainting.

By this point, the demons’ numbers were shrinking, and Gekko watched this as he sat on his turtle in the center. “Aaarrrgh. Come on, you guysh! Mashter Majora wantsh you to win! Howsha can you loshes to a bunch of mortalshesh?”

Cheren smirked as he approached the lizard demon. “You’re not messing with any old mortal.” He extracted his sword and yelled, “I’m the Hero of Time! Yaaaah-“ He lunged at the monster with a jump attack.

“NYAAAAAHH!” Immediately, Gekko had the turtle about-face, and they ran away before Cheren could hit.

“Heh. Wasn’t even gonna hit him.” Cheren smirked.

The Uno child twirled and sheathed his blade as the park children came out of hiding, bursting into cheers. The little froggy came out of hiding as well, jumping and ribbiting for joy. “Well, Cheren, that was pretty cool.” The yellow-capped boy said with a smile.

“Thanks. But you see what I’ve been trying to tell you?”

“Yeah, we think so.” Harry said. “But tell us again later. Supreme Leader just called. He’s gonna wanna hear about this.”

“Good. I’ll like to tell him.” Cheren replied.

Sector V C.O.O.L.B.U.S.

In a moment, the seven kids were riding the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. up to Kids Next Door Moonbase, with the aviator-hatted girl piloting the ship. “Sorry about the mix up down there.” Harry apologized. “Why don’t we introduce ourselves. I’m Harry Uno, Numbuh 361 and Leader of Sector V.”

“The name’s Celeste Stork!” the sandy-brown girl exclaimed with a salute. “Numbuh 58 and Spy of Sector V.”

“Melissa Gilligan.” The pilot said. “Numbuh 52 and Technology Officer of Sector V. I’m also second-in-command.”

“Thomas Drilovsky.” The yellow-capped boy saluted. “Numbuh 80 and Combat Specialist of Sector V.”

“Kellie Beatles!” the Asian girl exclaimed. “Numbuh 43, Diversionary Tactics, and Nurse of Sector V.”

“And I’m Truman Kirman.” Said the short boy. “Numbuh 40 and Snacks and Confectionary.”

Cheren recognized all of their names… except for Truman’s. “Wow. I’m gonna have a lot to learn. Well, let’s wait until we get to your leader first.”

KND Moonbase

It didn’t take long before they reached the Moonbase. They arrived at the Global Tactical, where the six Sector V kids saluted to their leader. “Numbuh 679, Sir!” Harry spoke.

“Hi, Jeremy!” Melissa grinned and waved.

“At ease, guys. Who’s this boy?”

“His name is Cheren Uno.” Harry responded. “And he has a lot to tell you.”

“He your brother?” Jeremy asked.

“No. Parallel universe.”

“Ah-ha… Well, before that, we have a few things to show you.” The boy pressed a button on the control panel, and the massive screen showed images of various regions of the world, and demons running amuck. “Treehouses everywhere reported sightings of monstrous beings. They’re attacking everything in their wake, kid AND adult. But mostly kids. And they’re posting pictures of this weird face everywhere.” The screen showed images of a jungle area, an ice field, and a ruins area before showing the image of the mask.

“Majora’s Mask!” Cheren exclaimed.

“Alright. You better start explaining.” Jeremy suggested.

“Ahem: To start off, I come from a parallel universe that has its own Kids Next Door, but I’m Supreme Leader, and you guys don’t exist. Instead, we have a different Sector V. And in my universe’s history, our organization’s been having wars with the Underworld, and the world’s been invaded by terrifying demons on more than one occasion. I know it sounds a little extreme for us, but it’s the truth, and now it’s happening again. A friend of mine- er, put on this mask on that she got at the mask shop, and the mask was actually this demon which possessed her body. They gathered a bunch of other demons, and my friend- er, the demon I guess, opened this portal that led to this dimension. I was able to follow them using a dimension warper thingy that the GKND built. That’s how I ended up here and was found by your Sector V.”

“Hmmm…” Jeremy took a moment to sink all this info in. “Okay… I think I understand… So, basically, we have a demon running loose on Earth, and you’re here to put a stop to it and take it back to your dimension?”

“Yyyyeaaah…” Cheren drew out, a little unsure about the “taking it back” part.

"Do you know why this demon wanted to come here?"

"Not... really..." Cheren scratched the back of his head.

“Ah… Well, normally, stuff like this would be out of the Kids Next Door’s league… But, these things are harming kids. And it wouldn’t exactly benefit for us to let them run around, so I guess we have no choice. The Kids Next Door will help in any way they can.”

“Thanks, but I’d rather search for Miyuki on my own. No one else should get involved in this.”

“Okay, then my team will help you ourselves.” Harry decided.

“I said-“

“You can’t fight a bunch of monsters on your OWN, silly!” Kellie exclaimed cheerfully. “Who knows, it might be fun!”

“Heck, our parents once took on Grandfather.” Celeste said. “This is basically the same thing. Except no one’s getting Citizombified.”

Cheren sighed. “Well, I guess I don’t really have any leads. I guess it wouldn’t hurt if you helped.”

“Well, Cheren, as Supreme Leader, I welcome you to the Kids Next Door of… eh, our universe.” Jeremy said.

“We should come with names.” Melissa suggested.

“Right then. I’m from Universe A.” Cheren decided.

“How come YOU get Universe A?” Thomas complained.

“Hey! I’m the one coming here!” Cheren argued.

“Yeah, so WE should get the ‘A’!”

“Hang on, hang on.” Cheren spoke up again. “Miyuki called this place the Termina Dimension, so that’s what we’ll call it. And since she said it intersected with my ‘Hyrule’, we’ll call that my dimension.”

“Hm… I guess Termina works.” Thomas shrugged.

“I kinda like ‘Hyrule’ better.” Kellie said.

“Whatever, it’s decided.” Jeremy said. “Since Sector V will be helping you, I propose you stay at their treehouse.”

“Oooh! Do you like Rainbow Monkeys, Cheren?” Kellie asked. “We could stay up and have slumber parties! I have ALL the kinds! My mom’s president of the company!”

“No way! He probably wants ta hang out with us boys, don’tcha?” Thomas asked.

“Heheh.” Cheren blushed. He seemed to be making friends pretty fast. “Thanks, but I’m kind of tired. I think I wanna turn in for the day.”

“Well, it is getting late.” Celeste said, checking her watch. “Maybe you should get some sleep.”

“But he was passed out since last night.” Melissa reminded.

“Alright then. You guys should head down and get some rest.” Jeremy suggested. “You’ll need all your strength for something like this.”

“I didn’t wanna get you guys involved.” Cheren said.

“Relax. It’s our job to fix stuff like this.” Harry assured as they left for the hangar.

Alternate Sector V Treehouse

The Sector V team laid a sleeping bag down on the living room couch for Cheren as stars hung in the heavens. “Not the comfiest.” Harry said. “I’d invite you to sleep down in my house, but I don’t think my mom would take it well meeting her son from another dimension.”

“Heheh. Yeah, my mom can be crazy sometimes.”

“Not as much as Thomas’.”

“Hey!” Thomas yelled.

“Sure you don’t wanna stay with one of us?” Celeste asked.

“You can sleep on my Super Sumo Slammer Rainbow Monkey!” Kellie grinned.

“Maybe tomorrow night. Until I get used to things.”

“Okay. See you in the morning.” Truman told him before they all left to their rooms.

Cheren threw off his socks, shoes, and jacket before fixing himself into his sleeping bag. He set his glasses on the table before resting his head on his pillow, closing his eyes. He lied there for several minutes, but failed to get to sleep. He only stared up at the ceiling, sadness clouding his mind.

Drilovsky Household; Hyrule Dimension

As nighttime loomed over the heavens, Panini depressedly stared out at the night sky through her open window, elbow rested on the windowsill, dressed in an orange nightgown as her mother walked in. “Hey, sweetie.” Fanny yawned. “Are ye still up?”

“Yeah.” Panini replied, not looking away.

Rubbing her tired eyes, Fanny walked over beside her daughter. “What’s wrong, Pan?”

“It’s Cheren… He… went off to another dimension to stop this demon.” She said quickly.

“Ahh.” Fanny yawned. “Must be rough.”

“Aye… and he took a one-way portal, too. What if ah never see him again? What if he didn’t make it?”

Fanny yawned again and put a hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “Ay wouldn’t worreh… Cheren may be a stoopid boy… but he is Rachel’s son. Ay know he’ll find a way… and ah know he’ll come back to ya.”

Panini gave a light smile.

“Can ya get ta sleep?”

“In a while. Ay think ay’ll just stay here a little longer.”

“Okay. Just don’t stay up too late.”

Fanny left her room as Panini stared more out the window. The Irish child’s eyes were fixed on the full moon, glistening in her eyes.

Sector V Treehouse; Termina

Unable to get to sleep, Cheren was out on the balcony, on his knees as he stared at the full moon through the railing. “You still up?” Thomas Drilovsky asked, rubbing his eyes as he came out to see him.

“Yeah. I’m having trouble sleeping.”

“I’ll bet. It must take some time to get used to jumping to a different dimension.”

“It’s not just that. When I came here, it was sort of a one-way trip. And I… kind of left a lot of important people behind.”

“Anyone one you really cared about?” he smirked.

“Uhhh whaddya mean?”

“Liiike… a girlfriend?”

Cheren blushed. “Oh, I dunno. Several.”

“Several?”

“Ha ha, just kidding. Still… I kind of wish I could’ve taken them with me… but I didn’t wanna endanger them.”

Thomas yawned. “Don’t worry. We’ll find a way to get you back. If we invented the time machine… you’ll get back to see them in no time.”

“Yeah… I know.” Cheren smiled.

Thomas yawned again. “Well, get to bed soon. Don’t wanna be sleepy if we’re tracking down that Miyuki girl tomorrow.” He said before leaving back to his room.

The glowing sphere that was the moon glistened in Cheren’s eyes as he stared at it. His eyes then directed down below at the Drilovsky household in the distance, at the dark, closed window on the second floor. In the Hyrule Dimension, Panini stared out that window, looking up at the empty balcony on the Sector V treehouse. And in the Termina Dimension, Cheren stared at that window where she stood. Both friends looked back at the moon, hoping to see each other soon.

From the shadows across the street, the glowing eyes of the evil mask stared at Cheren. “So, the young prince followed me here. Just like old times. But he won’t vanquish me this time. My swarms have already secured the temples around this land. It’s only a matter of time before my plans are complete.” The possessed child stared up at the moon, which illuminated her mask. “The moon’s wishes are already giving me strength. It won’t be long it sees Earth’s suffering. Heeeh hehehehehehahah…” The child faded from the darkness, their laughs drowned by the calm wind that blew across the trees.

Annnd short chapter. NEXT time, the adventure really begins, as we venture to the first world! ANND introducing the ‘Time’ trilogy characters that belong to CodeLyokoIsTheBest!
