Well, first of all, why haven't we continued our story about XJ-9?

But leaving that aside, I'm having an idea for an original idea that I think we haven't tried before. This is what will happen:

The gang is usually known for getting along well and being a united team. But as you know, even the best of friends can have their differences at times.

This story will begin some time after Red Fork has become the new leader of the gang. It has become noticeable after some time that Red Fork has his own way of leading the gang, which is different from how Jelo used to do it. Until now he hadn't made any major changes, but do to upcoming threats, such as the possible return of Cosmos, or the growing threat of Dr. Zack, and perhaps even if Captain Dark Shell finds a way to escape from the Shadow Dimension again, Red Fork decides to make a few changes in order to prepare for upcoming threats. This is all fine and good, but Jelo doesn't agree with some of Red Fork's changes.

Now before this goes any further, I want to explain that there isn't a true antagonist in this story. Neither Red Fork nor Jelo will be antagonists. Instead, both of them will have their points, and neither of them will be portrayed as being completely wrong nor completely right.

So, after some time has passed, Jelo has talked to some of his closer friends about this topic. They agree with him that Red Fork is making some strange changes, and they even start to believe that Jelo was better as a leader and that he should reclaim his position as a leader again. However, on the other side, there's other members of the gang that agree with how Red Fork is leading the gang, and fully support him, thinking his ideas are genius.

Now, neither Jelo or Red Fork really want to make the issue any bigger, but some of their friends start to notice what's going on, and they are the ones that start influencing Red Fork and Jelo that action must be taken for the greater good. The ones that agree with Jelo encourage him to begin a revolution and overthrow Red Fork. Meanwhile those that support Red Fork's ideas seem pretty upset as they believe that Jelo is organizing a revolt to overthrow Red Fork, and they tell Red Fork what they think Jelo is doing. The issue begins to escalate, until suddenly, it turns into something the gang had never experienced before: An internal war. They had fought villains many times before, and there had been a couple of times villains had tricked them into turning against each other, but this was the first time such a conflict began inside the gang, and would grow into a war between them.

The war would officially begin when one of those that was telling Jelo to start a revolt goes to Red Fork's house as a spy to check for anything they can use against Red Fork. However, Blue Ocean discovers this and defeats him/her, before telling Red Fork what had happened. Meanwhile one of Red Fork's supporters does something similar, attempting to break into Jelo's house, only to be stopped by one of his supporters. Eventually, both Red Fork and Jelo believe that the other is hostile towards them, and despite wanting to avoid a conflict, they declare war on each other. The gang is torn into two teams: Red Fork's team and Jelo's team. Both sides fight each other in different battles trying to force the other to surrender. Almost everyone in the gang gets involved, except for very few members that choose to just stay neutral. Even Echo Creek itself is affected by the battle, as the west side of Echo Creek is occupied by Red Fork's team, while the eat side of Echo Creek is occupied by Jelo's team.

The battle goes on for days, members of the gang fighting and defeating each other. As days go on, both sides are getting weak and exhausted after so much war. Twilight visits Red Fork when she learns about the situation the gang is in, and she organizes a meeting with Red Fork and Jelo, in which they are to solve their differences and try to bring the war to an end. This is specially important because the scientists on each of their teams are starting to go overboard, developing more powerful weapons to gain the technological advantage over the other team. It comes to the point where those weapons are so powerful that using them could put everyone in danger. Both sides are avoiding to reach that point, but as the conflict escalates, it becomes more and more probable that this war will bring ruin and disaster to everyone.

Twilight brings Red Fork and Jelo to talk with each other. She asks both of them to explain why the battle began, and when they each explain their sides of the conflict, they realize that neither of them had really made the first offensive move. It had been a misunderstanding, they hadn't sent those spies to each other's houses. Realizing this, they decide to sign a peace treaty, ending the war. They then talk to the members of the gang who were truly responsible for starting the conflict, and realizing the disastrous effect of their actions, they apologize to everyone. The gang comes together again, and together they work to clean and rebuild everything that was destroyed in war.

I know it's a strange concept, since it's something we've never done before, but I believe this would be a very interesting concept to try.
