The Beetles Family
The future family of Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 3. (Going clockwise: Kuki, Wallabee, Roku, Plat)
Members:
Roku Beetles 緑 (Numbuh 6)
The tomboyish and independent combat specialist/spy of the current Sector V. Sarcastic and rough around the edges with a strategic mind, she’s often the problem solver of the team, though not necessarily the voice of reason due to a slightly mischievous streak (is secretly the Prank Master of her school)
- 9 years old.
- Preferred weapon of choice: A Boomerang-shuriken combo called the B.O.O.M.E.R.K.E.N (Blaster Of Objects Moves Ever Rotatingly Knocking Enemies Nicely). Carries a few at a time and can release multiple if need be.
- She has a soft spot for her childhood friend and teammate Homer Gilligan (she’d never admit it though)
- Chose the number 6 upon her Cadets Next Door graduation in honor of a retired R.O.B.O.B.R.A.D.L.E.Y
- While her name sounds like the Japanese word for her number (六), the actual kanji character in her name is Japanese for ‘green’ (緑) referencing her mother (ironic because she prefers orange, reminiscent of her father)
Plat Beetles
The energetic, outspoken and goofy younger brother of Roku. He’s always joking around and is pretty comfortable in his own skin. Wants to join the KND but hasn’t finished his cadet training yet. So he sometimes tags along with his sister on missions
- 7 years old
- Plays dodgeball with his Uncle Joey on weekends
- Has a soft spot for his First Rainbow Monkey
- Has a lucky bokken (a Japanese wooden sword) from his maternal grandparents which he sometimes uses as a weapon if he follows his sister to combat.
- The name “Plat” means flat land, which is a reference to Australia’s geography (noted to be the flattest continent). His name is also meant as a shortened ver of Platypus, an animal native to Australia. Thus following the Australian animal theme of his father and uncle.
Dr Wallabee Beetles M.D.
Now a family man and a doctor at the local hospital. While he’s mellowed out over the years and is arguably smarter now, he can still be pretty impulsive and hot-headed. Especially if it involves stuff that annoys him. Loves his family dearly and takes a very hands-on-dad approach
- 37 years old
- Secretly still a member of the KND along with the rest of the past Sector V. But it’s kept so secret that even his kids have no idea.
- Happily married to Kuki for 12 years. Together since they were 17.
- Plays electric guitar. Used to be in a rock band in his teens
- Takes as many days off from work as he can. Either to relax, go on a date with Kuki or just spend time with his family
Kuki Sanban-Beetles
The CEO of the Rainbow Monkey Corporation and matriarch of the family. She still maintains her optimism and cheeriness but is also more calculating and business-minded due to her position in the company. Very affectionate towards her children and husband, although her oni side has come out when pushed too far.
- 37 years old
- Secretly still a KND member with the rest of Sector V.
- Slight workaholic. Brings home work more often than not, which includes Rainbow Monkey prototypes.
- Has been together with Wally for 20 years
- Has now gotten hooked on soap operas and KDramas, which Wally hates more than anything (especially if she makes him watch)
Woah hahaha that was really fun to write and draw! Probably gonna do a few animatics of the family too if I feel like it. Will also do the rest of Sector V’s family someday maybe!
KND belongs to Mr Warburton

Chapter 2: Regent
previous chapter masterlist next chapter
The sound of skin to skin contact echoed throughout the meeting room. Pale skin becomes red as blood flows to the surface of it. A mild stinging pain could be felt, the feeling of embarrassment flooded his senses, but he kept a cool front. His poker face never faltered no matter how humiliated he was.
A sense of lingering anger and authority dropped from the hand that slapped the boy. His face filled with worry as his voice spoke out,
"A squad leader can't put his squad members' lives at risk." His voice was serious.
He was dead serious, and it showed not just through his expressions, but through his violent actions. He'd never once laid a hand on them no matter the circumstance, but he felt the need to express it this time to show that he was the one in charge for once and wouldn't be out down.
"It's dangerous to show our back to the enemy. I took the possibility of Orochi pursuing and attacking us from the rear into consideration." He defended himself.
He stared at Haise the whole time and asked him, "does that warrant a slap in the face?"
"You think you're so smart. Why else do you think I called for Haise? You would've died had it not been for me telling him as soon as we left to pursue Torso." Reina yelled at the foolish boy.
His ego got too big that he almost killed himself and the rest of his team all because of his selfish desires. Haise stood still as everything unveiled itself.
"Ghoul investigators must run even if their arms and legs are torn off!!" He raised his voice, veins popped out the side of his neck. His face contorted into one of worry.
"We'll have our chance as long as we're alive. What can we do if we're dead?!"
Sighing, Reina got in between both boys and put a hand on each of their shoulders. She pushed Urie away a bit and turned to face him.
"Urie I'm relieving you from duty as Squad Leader of the Quinx Squad." She stated.
Again Urie started arguing, he made sure his voice was heard when he said, "I find this unacceptable," but both of them didn't budge, instead Haise put his foot down and in an authoritative voice jibed, "it's an order."
Gritting his teeth Urie breathed heavily leaving a heavy suspenseful silence in his wake until he sneered at both of them, "but you're both ghouls..."
His eyes widened meanwhile the rest of the squad squeaked in surprise at his bold claim. How could he disrespect their mentors?! Shirazu wasted no time in beating some sense into the boy.
"You're a piece of shit!!" He yelled as he kicked the purple haired boy.
He continued to lecture the boy about how responsible and considerate their mentors were. How they both risked their lives for theirs. He tussled him around like a rag doll, Urie having no reaction to the treatment he was getting at the moment. Instead he looked behind him where Mutsuki was standing.
There the shy boy stood watching Shirazu manhandle Urie. Noticing that he was looking back he decided to speak up.
"Urie.. I.. I'd like you to apologize to Instructors Sasaki and Nakou."
"Shirazu let him go." Reina raised her hand in a stop motion.
Following her order he did so slowly. Looking back at his mentors he noticed that Haise was about to speak up.
"No matter what he says, my decision is final. Besides, I'm appointing Rank 3: Investigator Shirazu as Squad Leader." He pointed at the blonde.
Shirazu screeched and tried to protest. He had no idea what Sasaki was thinking, but this wasn't right. Him? Squad leader?! Those two things should never be in the same sentence. Haise reassured him that he'd teach him what it means to be a leader.
Turning to face the boy that was walking away he playfully hit him a small smile gracing his lips that didn't quite reach his ears.
"Urie. You keep disobeying me and I'll eat you! I'm a ghoul, remember?" He chuckled softly.
Having nothing else to say, the denoted boy just walked out the room. Noting Haise's weird behavior she walked behind him and patted his shoulder making him look down at her figure. She smiled weakly at him and left to follow after Urie.
She looked around everywhere and found him sitting on the couch by himself in the living room. Deciding to sneak up on him she quietly approached him and hugged him tightly against her chest. Startled at first he tried to pull her arms off of him until he heard the familiar sound of her voice reach his ears.
"Got ya." She tilted his head so he could look up at her.
Huffing he let her have her way with him. She let go and climbed over the couch to sit on the glass coffee table. Her small figure leaning back, strands of lilac hair letting loose from her messy bun.
"I'm going to make it quick since we have to wake up early tomorrow." She put it simply as she crossed her legs.
He looked her dead in the eye and motioned for her to get on with what she initially came here for.
"You need to learn to respect others, you know. If you keep up this rude attitude it won't make others like you. Now since I started living with you I've learned a few things." She started.
"You don't like sweets, so I don't know why you have that with you. Two you don't care for relationships, whether it's romantic or platonic it doesn't matter. You push those who care for you away all because of your personal goals." She sat upright and stood up walking behind the couch.
"Let me tell you from personal experience... you'd rather have friends or people you can call acquaintances than enemies. Why? Because you don't know when the last time you'll need them by your side is. If you have no one to be there for you, you'll feel lost." She leaned over it and whispered in his ear,
"I know you don't care about these mundane matters, but it'll come and bite you back in the ass. Especially if you mess with the wrong people." She breathed out and turned around to leave.
"And who would those people be?" His voice echoed throughout the vacant room.
The girl stood glued in her place.
"Since I started living with you I've learned a few things." He mocked.
She turned around and smirked.
"Yeah? Like what?" She taunted.
"You've been acting up since you moved in. Not a single time have you actually acted yourself. This little vulgar act you're putting up isn't fooling anyone. Who are you? Is the real question, Reina Nakou." His voice dripped of venom.
She smiled at his words and walked up to pat his cheek.
"I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into, darling."
