NOTE: I've been reading some fan fiction's where the brunette girl with the pigtails' name is Olivia/Ogie. On the KND wiki page it says her official name is Constance, so I'm going to refer to her as Constance. Just so there's no confusion. I just got back into KND so this might suck. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

It had been a week since it happened. That day was so shocking and stressful for Nigel Uno, otherwise known as Numbuh 1. On that day, he found out his father, his lame old father, was the legendary Numbuh 0. His uncle was Father, or more bluntly Benedict Uno. He had to fight off his friends who got turned into senior citi-zombies. And, probably the most shocking thing of all:

The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, one of the sworn enemies of the Kids Next Door, were once the missing members of Sector Z!

That realization just kept boggling his mind. He couldn't believe it, and he saw it with his own eyes! He just kept repeating it in his mind. The DCFDTL are the operatives from Sector Z... The DCFDTL are the operatives from Sector Z...The DCFDTL are the operatives from Sector Z... The DCFDTL are the op-

"Numbuh 1!" Abby (aka, Numbuh 5) exclaimed, causing him to snap back to reality. He looked around to see the rest of his sector (Hoagie, Numbuh 2; Kuki, Numbuh 3; and Wally, Numbuh 4) staring at him. Their faces showed signs of both concern and annoyance.

"You've been staring out the window for a while, Numbuh 1, and you're never spaced out!" Hoagie said.

"Is it because your dad is Numbuh 0? I would be spaced out, too, ya'know," Wally commented.

Maybe I should tell them, Nigel thought to himself. He sighed and asked, "Have you guys heard of the missing Sector Z?"

This raised some eyebrows. "Of course! They say they were the best operatives Kids Next Door has ever seen!" Hoagie said.

"Well, I know what happened to them."

His fellow sector members simply just stared at him in confusion. No one dared to move a muscle. Was it true? Was he telling the truth? they wondered. There's no telling what he saw when they were mindless zombies.

"What happened?" Kuki asked, being the first to believe the leader of her sector. Everyone else was curious to know as well.

Nigel's eyes darted between them for a second, fearing that this part they wouldn't believe. "I don't know exactly what happened, but I know Father did it. He delightfulized them."

"Wait... are you sayin' that those Annoying Brats from Down the Lane are the operatives from Sector Z?" Wally questioned.

"You've gotta be joking," Abby commented.

"I'm serious! Numbuh 0 used the Recommissioning Module on them and they turned into the missing members of Sector Z!" Nigel argued.

"The Recommissioning Module has been broken beyond repair for while, Numbuh 1. There's no way it could've worked," Hoagie countered, crossing his arms.

"But it hasn't! Numbuh 86 repaired it!"

"Now you're just talkin' crazy, Numbuh 1," Abby said.

"Yeah. Last time I checked, Numbuh 86 wasn't a very techy person," Kuki agreed.

It was hopeless. They didn't believe him! Just as he was about to give up on the concept, a thought struck his mind. "Fine, don't believe me. How would you know, anyways? You were all senior citi-zombies then!"

The tree house went silent again. The other four operatives of Sector V began to slowly believe their leader. He was right; anything could've happened while they were zombies.

"Gotta plan, then?" Abby asked.

"Numbuh 2, do you think you can fix the Recommissioning Module?" Nigel asked.

Nigel led Hoagie to his room in the tree house. To the left on his bed, the Recommissioning Module laid on a nightstand. Many pieces were bend and broken. "Hmmm," Hoagie pondered, studying the broken 2x4 device. "Nothing major is broken, and all the bent pieces could be snapped back in place... You can join the others in the Moonbase, Numbuh 1, this shouldn't be extremely hard to fix."

Kuki, Wally, and Abby all went to the Moonbase to inform Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 86 on the situation. However, to the suggestion, Nigel shook his head. "I have something to do... It will help us on our mission."

Bidding goodbye to his friend, Nigel Uno swiftly left the tree house. He made his way down the lane, coming upon the Delightful Mansion. He walked up the steps and rang the doorbell, a delightful ding. He heard footsteps, and in the doorway stood Benedict. He had his suit on, as well as the yellow and pink bathrobe and still seemed to be sulking about the events of last week. He held a tub of rocky road ice cream in his hand.

"What do you want, Nigel?" he grunted, calling the operative by his real name rather than his codename, surprising him.

"I actually came here to see you," Nigel said.

Though it wasn't exactly noticeable with his suit on, the man's eyebrows raised. "Me? Look, kid, I know I was a coward a week ago, but you don't need to start a fight about it!"

"I'm not here to fight," he said, walking into the mansion. Benedict turned around to face his nephew. "I'm here for answers."

Benedict put down his tub of frozen dessert. "What could you possibly want from me?"

"How to change your 'delightful children' back into Sector Z," Nigel said.

He laughed, giving an unseeable smirk to the operative. "I don't know how!" he exclaimed, amused by the question. "And even if I did, I certainly wouldn't tell you! Besides, reversing eleventy-billion fold worth of energy is practically impossible!"

That last sentence gave Nigel an idea. Who says I had to reverse it? he thought. Smirking, he looked up at his uncle and simply said, "Nothing is impossible to the Kids Next Door." Then, he walked out the unclosed door.

Going back to the tree house, Nigel noticed that Kuki, Wally, and Abby had returned. "What happened at the Moonbase?" he asked.

"Number 362 thought we were asking more than we could get," Abby answered, annoyed.

Hoagie then walked into T.V. Room of the tree house, holding the Recommissioning Module in his hand. "On the bright side, I fixed the Recommissioning Module! It's as good as new!" Though the boards looked like that were glued together, everything else looked perfectly functional.

"Great! Now, is there anyway you can increase the power of that by slightly over eleventy-billion fold?" he asked, a nervous unhopefulness present in his voice.

"Eleventy-billion fold!? How're suppose to do that?!" Wally asked.

"I don't know, but it's the only way to bring Sector Z back for good. The Delightfulization Chamber that delightfulized them malfunctioned, and it let out eleventy-billion fold more energy than it needed to!" Nigel explained.

"So the only way to reverse it would be to apply even more energy than that, so it overpowers the effects of the last impact!" Hoagie stated, catching on to the idea.

"But how? It's not like we can just generate that much energy without shorting out the whole tree house!" Wally countered.

"Matter-a-fact, the whole neighborhood," Abby said. "We can't get that much energy from here without shorting out the entire town!"

"Maybe we don't have to do it on Earth," Kuki suggested. Everyone turned to her, for she seemed to be catching onto something. "The Moonbase takes a lot of energy to operate on the moon, so we could ask them for help!" she cheerfully said.

"Yeah, only I doubt Numbuh 362 would let us," Wally sighed, crossing his arms.

"Let us? She has to! We're just a few steps away from bringing back Sector Z!" Nigel said.

"I don't think she believed us the first time Numbuh 1," Wally countered.

He thought for a moment. "Fine. We may just have to take a stealthier approach."

"Are you kidding? That would get us decommissioned right on the spot!" Hoagie exclaimed.

"How many times have I done something that I should've got decommissioned for?"
