From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Y.O.U.T.H. is a youth group organization in Numbuh3.14's Codename: Kids Next Door fanfics. They are occassional allies of the Sector V operatives and enemies of the Delightful Children, Father, and their henchmen. Sometimes they take in KND operatives who have been decommissioned (of course, they don't know they were KND operatives). Y.O.U.T.H. appears in the 3rd Series of Numbuh3.14's Kids Next Door Fanfics. Each of the letters in the group's acronymatic name represents one of the five major groups.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details about Codename: Kids Next Door fanfics by Numbuh3.14 follow.
[edit] Young Artists
The "Y" in the Y.O.U.T.H. acronym stands for Young Artists, a group of children who are experts in 2x4 technology (the same kind the KND use). They often assist the Kids Next Door, and sometimes the Destructively Nefarious Kids, in developing their technology. Children's Brigade members David Newman and Katherine Umbrage (a.k.a. Katie) were once part of the Young Artists, but both quit after the formation of the Brigade (Katie after she formed the group, David after he joined it). David's brother, Michael, was also a member while he was still in the Kids Next Door organization, but was kicked out by Ralph (the Young Artists' leader) after he [Michael] turned evil and joined the adults.
[edit] Organization of Fighter Kids
The "O" stands for Organization of Fighter Kids, a ninja squad consisting almost entirely of former Kids Next Door operatives, including Lance (Numbuh 19th Century after his decommissioning in Op. CAKED-FIVE) and Joe King (formerly Numbuh 100). The Kid Ninjas from the Dojo were so impressed with these guys when they first met them that, according to them, they just had to train with the Fighter Kids.
[edit] Upper School Prodigies
The "U" is for Upper School Prodigies, who are, as their name states, genius upper school students. However, they oppose honor students such as the Honor Society and the kids on the Honor Roll, calling them "lower-grade upstarts" due to the fact of these two groups being evil. The Prodigies make the majority of Y.O.U.T.H.'s more complicated 2x4 technology weapons, especially those that serve as part of the Defense Guard for the Y.O.U.T.H. Headquarters building.
[edit] Team Builders
The "T" in the Y.O.U.T.H. acronym is for Team Builders, who encourage friendship among the members of Y.O.U.T.H. and make sure everyone looks out for everyone else. The head Team Builder, Roan, claims to have once been a Teen Ninja, but that he betrayed them although Teen Ninja leader Cree stubbornly denies this, citing Roan's age of 12 as proof (he's not old enough to join the Jets, she says). Nevertheless, the Team Builders hold a strong grudge against the teenagers, and agree to help the KND defeat the teenagers in any way possible.
[edit] Heads (a.k.a. Y.O.U.T.H. Heads)
Last, but definitely not least, the "H", stands for Heads (full name: Y.O.U.T.H. Heads). These two boys and two girls represent the Y.O.U.T.H. Agency as a whole, and work to make sure that it works together, and stays together. It is their job to accept members, and kick out members who become evil, such as Michael Newman. The Y.O.U.T.H. Heads are also the ones with the most familiarity with the KND's enemies, since one of the Heads, Misha, is the granddaughter of Miss Goodwall, the old lady from Op. Z.O.O. who tried to imprison Sector V in her Kids' Zoo along with the DCFDTL.
