AN: Note this fic takes place about two weeks after Jawbreakers, bed knobs and broomsticks, that's why the Peach Creek kids are still in Odaiba. Now I know I haven't updating lately but I'll be moving soon and I promise I'll update the next chapter on my other fic.

Chapter 1: Business Trip

Our story begins as we move straight to Kibou manor home of the Pantheon family and three members of the Ethereal guardians, further in the mansion, we go into a study room which also had attributes to an office. We see a man with piercing green eyes, brownish-gold hair and mustache. This was General Omri Pantheon for the Global Alliance, the international agency that helps keep aliens and mythical beings a secret. Now you know the mansion has it's fair share bunch of advanced technology too, aside from the occasional charms and spells. But our story begins when the words ONCOMING MESSAGE flash onto a large-screen computer from one them spy movies and we see the person in the monitor talking to the receptor.

This was no ordinary message, this was from SHUSH. Now you are all probably wondering why or how: since Omri is the new general, he meets lots of people and most them already know his family's secret (which was safe with them) plus it was SHUSH who warned them about FOWL. Back to our story, like I mentioned, Omri clicked to check on the message, which in the monitor materialized the face of Director J. Gander Hooter.

"General, thank you for answering," he said.

General Pantheon nodded, "Good day J. Gander, how may I be of assistance?"

"We suspect that FOWL is up to their old tricks and Negaduck is already rounding the Fearsome Five, there exists a possibly that they might form an alliance with an old supernatural foe of yours. Either way, we need you to come to St. canard, to meet us and Darkwing duck straight away, we will need all the help we can get. And while you're there find out if what we assume is true."

"I'm honored that you considered me an ally, but I'm afraid I can't, for there are even urgent matters occurring in the Alliance and they require my aid. I will have to send my daughters and the rest of the guardians in my place, after all they're the protectors of the Veil and you once said you always wanted to meet them."

"Sorry to hear, but I say that is a splendid suggestion General, we'd be honored to meet the guardians."

"Pleased that you agree, however, I'll have to send them escorted with chaperones one can never be to sure, particularly with mortal or supernatural spies alike."

"Very well then General I shall inform my agents to stand by and await their arrival."

"No worry, I'll notify you at once when they are ready."

And that's exactly what happened, however, the girls were slightly taken aback by the news.

"Come on, Dad, do we have to?" Beth argued in disbelief, she and her friends had been resting from the ordeal with the rogue death eaters and Organization XIII's heist, "Why can't you go?"

"I know it's hard, but I must depart for New Mexico, the alliance needs both my assistance and guidance, and SHUSH has yet to meet you: the guardians of Etherea, which would require a lot of cooperation and agreement." Omri Pantheon answered wisely, "Besides, I've hired someone very good to take care of you, while I'm gone."

Suddenly, they heard a crash, coming from outside which surprises General Pantheon and the girls.

Zaira slaps her hand on her fore head, groaning, "Does it have to be Oscar Proud, General?"

"Now, now, he's a good family man," said Omri, "Even if his snacks are unsuccessful. He was one of the few people who could come at such short notice."

"But don't worry he's not the only chaperone," Jenna added "Tommy Oliver is here visiting on his month of vacation and has agreed to help."

"Can we invite our friends to join us on this adventure?" Dana piped up eagerly.

"I don't think that's possible, Dana, we're a little short on our allies," Sara said, shaking her head.

"Yeah," Beth said nodding, "Numbuh 1 contacted us that they're going on a really important mission and don't know when they'll be back,"

Kylie agreed, "Yes, Mr. Herriman and Madame Foster say that for now they got plans of their own with everyone back at the manor so they can't make it either."

"Plus Mr. Blik, Gordon and Waffle are on vacation to Hawaii." explained Yui

"While the jelly beans are booked, especially with Scoutmaster Lumpus on the warpath," Theo added.

"And don't even count with Vegeta, he says he's got better things to do like training and be with his family than going to a weakling military facility." Zaira said a little cynically. "Plus Grim has got his hands full with Billy and Mandy."

"So that leaves the Eds, Bruce, Tony, Kurt and Dib." Haruna said

"I'm sorry girls, that's out of the question," Omri shook his head "The only one who will have to make the journey will be Mr. Bruce David. No, I'm afraid your friends can't come with you this time. That same thing will apply to your twin brother Tony, Sara."

"Why not?" Dana asked.

"Because Bruce is one of your secret keepers besides Mr. Merriam, and Ms. Romero, and they're both currently out of town as well," Omri said "And you must be well aware, that SHUSH won't allow simple civilians on such an errand. You'll be leaving for Calisota three days from now."

Three days later, everyone inside Kibou Manor (servants and animals included) is frantically running through the house as they prepare for the airport. The Prouds have arrived to help in what they can and bid their family member a good trip with the girls.

Mr. Proud was standing at the doorway, car keys in his hand, "Come on girls! Time to hit the road!"

"Alright, just one last thing." Yui said, handing a big suitcase to Mr. Proud.

"That's enough bags, we're only meeting this SHUSH agency and we'll be gone for about uhm…" Oscar tries to think of what to say cause pretty hard to tell how long will their stay be.

A yawning Bruce walks down the stairs dragging his bag, "Why do we have to leave so early?"

"Oscar likes to have a head start." Trudy replied, from the door frame.

"And why do have to go on an airplane to journey to Calisota when we can teleport or use a portal?" Theo asked.

"You heard what J Gander mentioned we have to avoid FOWL…" Tommy Oliver answered, "So we have to lay low."

"You're lucky I agreed to go cause I got nothing else to do," Bruce said.

Which was part true, Bruce truly wanted to travel with the guardians on this mission and find out more about where they're headed.

Yui looked around then asked "Now are we forgetting something?"

"Wait!" a familiar voice rang out, the whole traveling group turn to see the three Eds running up, with Ed holding a few bags with a hesitant Double D and Eddy, who looked excited.

"Hey guys ready for the vacation!!" Eddy said. He was wearing some sunglasses and a beach shirt.

"I am simply against this if you really must know," protested Double D

"Road trip for me!" Ed said cheerfully

"Uh, Guys you're not going on the trip with us," Zaira said pointedly.

"Why?" asked Ed curiously

"This is not a vacation," explained Tommy "it's a business trip for the girls concerning to handle the low profile away from the dangerous organization called FOWL."

"And all cause some witch hunter tipped them off," Beth complained, folding her arms bitterly.

"Who knows what they'll do when they see us," Haruna added worriedly as she packed a small pouch of seed into her messenger bag.

Mr. Proud said to the Eds, "So no way, you are not coming with us!"

Next thing, in a few moments later, the gang was already putting the luggage in the van, Mr. Proud borrowed. While the girls say goodbye to their allies that were staying behind. Now what they didn't know outside the mansion, the Eds hopped in the back of the van hiding among the luggage, with Dana's help while no one was looking.

"Alright, try not to make a noise at least till we're a hundred miles." Dana said "That way we'll be too far away for Mr. Proud to turn back."

Sarah notices and tries to tattle. But since the girls know Ed's sister well the typical bratty sister who treats her brother like dirt and likes to get him in trouble, they don't listen; for all they know, she could only be doing it for attention.

"Hope you guys can handle things while I'm gone," Bruce says to his friends Kurt, Dib and Tony.

"Now don't you go over there and embarrass us by making a fool of yourself, Oscar!" Sugah Mama said to her son as she poked him on the chest.

"Honey, just make a good impression," Trudy said "If you're going to meet an important organization try to make it work."

"Good bye guys, wish us luck!" Beth said getting into the van.

"Good luck!" the group of kids, the rest of the Proud family waved as the van drove off.

Kevin, deciding to be funny, shouted "And don't come back!"

Suddenly the van rushes right back taking everyone by surprise. Then a scowling Beth sticks her head out and bonks Kevin on the head.

"And don't YOU make a pest of yourself while we're gone!" she said to him.

And the van finally leaves.

Quite some time later, the girls wonder why the Eds haven't come to wish them luck. About two hours later, they stop so Oscar could go to the back and get the sandwiches which are with the luggage.

"Anybody care for food on the back?" he asked them.

This announcement makes Dana nervous. And more when Mr. Proud is heading directly to the trunk where the Eds are hiding.

By the time he opens the door of the back of the van, among the luggage bags a hand from one of the Eds pops out and give it to him. He says thanks then stops for a second and removes all the luggage to see them hiding.

Ed, being his carefree self, asked "Is the ride over?"

"Er . . . Good evening, Mr. Proud." Double D greeted sheepishly.

Eddy grinned nervously, "Busted, huh?"

"ED!? Double D!? Eddy!?" Everyone said in disbelief

Zaira asked in shock, "What are you guys doing here?"

"I don't know but they're going home right now!" Oscar said sternly

"But Mr. Proud we're too far away to turn around…" Dana replied

"Then we will leave them by the side of the road and wait for the bus!"

Kylie reasoned, "Mr. Proud, we can't leave them in the middle of nowhere!"

From the front seats Tommy looked out to them, "You guys need a lift?"

"Uh—yeah!" said Eddy.

Bruce then added, "Besides we have no choice they're coming with us, we'll call their folks later."

"B-B-But I thought you father said no civilians on this?" Mr. Proud said.

"We're truly, sorry, Mr. Proud but Eddy forced us to tag along with you." Double D stammered.

"Tattle tale." Eddy mumbled.

The next they know the gang had to make room so the Eds can sit in the van with them.

"Just why did you want to come?" Beth questioned, raising an red eye brow at them.

"Meh," Eddy sighed "I tagged along on this road trip cause I was bored and this traveling is just what I need: a little culture in my life and I want to see this famous SHUSH everyone talks about. Maybe put up a few scams in St. Canard. And Lumpy here just goes with the flow."

"Going down on the highway!" Ed said excitedly

"Mr. Oliver? My name is Eddward, that's why two D's." Double piped up wanting to start a conversation with Tommy.

"Please call me Tommy." Tommy said shaking his hand.

"Yes. I have to say, I have always been impressed with research on the Triassic period."

"Thanks."

"Still can't believe that you're actually a power ranger. No offense but Power Rangers are so nineties." Eddy said

"Eddy mind your manners," Haruna said looking at the short Ed with a stern look.

"Omri has faith in me," Tommy said calmly "And he presented me an ability to change into any power ranger in case of trouble, so not only am I a chaperone but a body guard as well."

"Right, in case we run into any trouble." Bruce said

"Oh guys we're fine!" Oscar said to them confidently.

--

On a boarding the plane, the gang was lucky that they we're all sitting in first class; surprisingly, the Pantheons had managed to use a little convincing and negotiating so that the Eds can sit with them in the VIP lounge.

Now since there were fourteen of them in total they had to sit in some chair of pairs (even numbers), Tommy with Oscar, Eddy was sitting with Dana, Double D was with Beth, Bruce with Ed, Kylie was paired with Sara, Yui was with Haruna, and lastly Zaira was seated with Theo.

"This is traveling with style huh, guys?" grinned Eddy enjoying himself, as he sipped a soda.

"Don't press your luck," Oscar said sternly to Eddy turning his to face the short Ed, "The minute we get to Calisota the three of you are taking the next flight back to Peach creek!"

"You guys know, this is strictly a business trip concerning our duty as guardians to meet SHUSH, it's not practical," said Beth,

Eddy smirked, "Yeah. . . but I bet Kevin and Sarah must be boiling with jealousy by now."

"Welcome aboard American Airlines flight non-stop to Calisota." A voice announced, "In order to push back from the gate... all passengers must have their seat belts fastened. We ask that you turn your attention to the front of the cabin for pre-flight safety instructions."

The engines start to hum. The plane is rolling. The plane starts to shake. The engines rumble.

Oscar looks out the window and realizes they're in the air freaking, he struggles to get his seat belt off. He does everything but pull the handle.

"Hey, you okay Oscar?" Bruce said looking over to where their chaperone was.

Oscar, who was sweating and breathing heavily, he wheezed "I'm, I'm afraid of heights."

Tommy and Bruce look at each other and inquire in unison "Afraid of heights?"

The people onboard noticing Oscar they think something is wrong on the plane but little did they know, it was just one of Oscar's Phobia attacks.

That was when the plane arcs upward. Oscar finally gets the belt off as the plane is in full thrust. He rises and goes tumbling backward down the aisle. The people seeing Oscar flying, screaming in panic then he flies up, hitting several overhead luggage racks, which open and spill their contents.

"That's traveling light huh guys?" Ed says commenting cheerfully, "Case luggage falls on you!"

Back in Odaiba the remaining gang and the Prouds were discussing about the whole trip:

"So they're saying they were going to meet SHUSH—that's in Calisota right?" Nazz asked

"Yep and I think they mentioned St. Canard." Penny said

This answer made Trudy turn around and look at them worriedly, "What? You can't be serious! They can get in trouble or serious danger!"

"Huh?" everyone looks at Mrs. Proud

"What are you talking about Mom?" Penny asked

"St. Canard is known for it's countless crimes and with the most dangerous super villians there."

"Super villains?" Nazz questioned.

Sarah was jumping up and down trying to get her attention, so was Jimmy. "Mrs. Proud!" they both said.

"Not now Sarah we are talking." Jenna said

"I know, but..." Sarah said

"And when grown-ups are talking, kids are supposed to wait quietly." Sugah Mama added.

"I know, but..."

"Then when the grown-ups say it's okay for you to talk, then you can say whatever you want." Trudy continued for her "Now what was it you wanted to tell us?"

"My brother and his friends stowed away in the van!!" Sarah yelled aloud for the rest to hear.

"WHAT??" All screamed in unison

Kevin scowled, folded his arms and said sarcastically, "Big surprise."

"You know, better," Jenna said sternly, "These are the sort of things you should really tell the adults right away."

Sarah just groans at this.

"Quickly, we've gotta see if there's anything we can do," Trudy said in concern.

They all rush back inside Kibou Manor, hoping they're traveling friends haven't put themselves in mortal danger just yet.
