OPERATION: N.O. B.O.Y.S

(Author's Note: Takes place after OPERATION: F.O.U.N.D which is Chapter 5 of OPERATION: C.R.U.SH)

"I know this is unusual, but the mission asks for the two of you to accompany two other females from Sector A. The reason the rest of us can not go along is because of what the mission involves. You two, along with Numbers 98 and 99 are to infiltrate a girls only club, run by a group of female teenagers who call themselves Purity. There have been reports that this group has been kidnapping fellow female operatives and turning them into teenagers. Now because Numbers 2, 4, and myself are males, we can not accompany you on this mission. You two are to meet up with Numbers 98 and 99 down in Hawaii, find their hideout, infiltrate it, and take them down! Be warned, this group is very dangerous and very crafty. Do you understand the mission at hand?"

Number 1 explained to Numbers 3 and 5 who were standing in the debriefing room of the treehouse. Number 3 nodded her head and Number 5 saluted Number 1. "Understood boss. Consider it done." Number 1 grinned. "Excellent. I know I can count on both of you to complete this mission flawlessly. You will be leaving in about 30 minutes to head to Sector A. You two are dismissed."

Ten minutes later, Number 5 was in her room, getting herself ready for the mission. Since they were going to a much warmer climate, she had to change her clothes so she would be more comfortable in the elements. She had just finished putting on a blue halter top, to match her black jeans when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in." The door opened and in stepped Number 2, he closed the door behind him.

It had only been two days since they were rescued from that beach and had talked about there feelings. Since then, things had been kind of awkward between them, but only because they were still trying to figure out the whole boyfriend/girlfriend routine. Yes, Hoagie was with Cree for a few hours, but this was different. Much different. "Hey, heard you and Kuki will be leaving for Hawaii in a bit… wish I could join you guys. Always wanted to go to Hawaii."

Number 5 turned around and smiled seeing it was him who entered her room. "Number 5 wishes you could go to. She'll miss not having ya around for a few days. Don't know what she'll do without hearing your bad puns, but it shouldn't be to long. She'll be back before you know it." He laughed and went to sit down on her bed. "Yea, that's true. It will give me some more free time to work on those modifications that Number 1 wants me to do now that I think about it." She placed her infamous ball cap on her head before she went to sit next to him. "Exactly! I for one do not want to go through all that again!"

Number 2 fumbled for something in his pocket and pulled out a small, black box. "Before you go, I have something I want you to have. It used to belong to my grandma, but she gave it to me when I was 7. Of course that was back before she turned evil and became one of our enemies." Number 5 rose a single brow. "What in the world…?" His face turned a soft red. "Well, she said I am supposed to give this to someone who I really care about, someone who is special to me and well… you're all that and more, so…" He handed the box over to her.

It was now Number 5's turn to blush as she opened the box. Inside was a silver chain and heart locket. She opened the locket and inside was a picture taken a long time ago of the two of them at a amusement park. "Number 5 don't know what to say… it's beautiful…" Number 5's eyes softened as she put the necklace around her neck. "Thanks, you mean a lot to Number 5 as well… she'll cherish this always." He gave a nervous laugh and then found himself in a tight embrace. He wrapped his own arms around her. "Be careful all right?"

In the living room, Kuki was all ready to go. She to was dressed for the much warmer weather wearing a pair of jean shorts and a rainbow monkey baby tee. "I can't believe I get to go to Hawaii! I was there when I was 6 and it as sooo much fun! We got to wear grass skirts and dance in the moonlight! We went swimming in water that you can see the bottom through! This is going to be the funnest mission yet!" Number 1 rolled his eyes. "Now Number 3, you are not there to have fun. You are there to stop Purity from their evil plan and then are to return back here as soon as it is completed! I don't like the idea of our team being separated, even for a few days." She sighed. "But Number 1… it's Hawaii! I got the matching rainbow monkey and everything!" Number 1 felt his patience wearing thin with her as his voice started to raise. "Number 1! You are there for mission purposes only! Do not make me change my mind about letting you go! No site seeing, no dancing, nothing! It is a dangerous mission and if anything were to happen to you because you decide to goof off…"

Number Four was standing with them and nodded his head. "Right on! If anything were to happen to you, why I'd show those cruddy girls that they picked with the wrong girl, er guy… or is it girl…?" He wasn't sure which made more sense for technically the girls would be messing with Kuki but wouldn't he be the one fighting them? It left him more then just slightly confused trying to figure it out. Number One just rolled his eyes and shook his head as Kuki responded. "Aww… I appreciate you guys being worried about me, but I'm with Number 5 sillies. I'll be just fine. Besides, who said I would be having fun during the mission? I'd wait till after the mission and I'm sure Number 5 won't mind a little break either." She said with a soft giggle.

Number Four was still trying to figure out which phrase would make more sense when Numbers 2 and 5 walked in. Number 5 walked over to Kuki and rested an elbow on her shoulder. She and Kuki were never really close but after the conversation the two of them had while waiting for Moonbase to rescue them, the two of them had started to get much closer. Kuki was the only female friend she ever had, and even if they were totally different, she realized she needed Kuki just as much as Kuki needed her, especially since both of them were dealing with relationships at the moment. "Well girl, ready to go hit the sun?" Kuki grinned. "Of course! I get to drive right?!"

Within minutes, the two of them were on a small aircraft that had been sent down from Moonbase. Luckily for them, neither one had to drive for the coordinates had been pre-set and all they had to do was enjoy the ride. Number Five had found herself glancing down to the pendant that Number 2 gave her and it caught Number 3's eyes. "Oooo… that's pretty! Where'd ya get that from Abby?" Abby forgot for a moment that Kuki was with her and blushed as she turned to Kuki. "Number 2. A gift his grandma gave him before she went nuts. Told him to give it to someone special to him, and well he gave it to me right before we left. Got a picture of us and everything." Kuki's eyes went wide as she got closer to look at it. "Wow… how romantic! I wish I had a boyfriend to do something like that for me! That's soooo sweet!" Abby was still blushing. "Yea, Number 5 is pretty lucky, even if this isn't her thang. How are things with you and the two boys?"

Kuki sighed as she fell back in her seat and hugged her rainbow monkey tightly. "Getting harder… last night, Wally and I were talking and somehow he has it in his head that Nigel and I are dating. He wasn't mad, but he did finally tell me how he feels… but I tried explaining to him that Nigel and I weren't dating, and that I hadn't decided… but you know how Wally is… he wouldn't let me explain…" Number 5 didn't know what to say, the girl was stuck between a rock and a hard place. At their age, relationships shouldn't be this complicated. "Well, does Number 1 know about this? He should be able to set Number 4 straight." Kuki shook her head. "I never got a chance to say anything…"

At that moment, they had landed and before they exited the vehicle, Number 5 placed a hand on Kuki's shoulder. "Number 5 will help you get it straightened out. You just watch and see." They disembarked and standing before them were two other female operatives. One girl had lightly tanned skin with white hair pulled back in a ponytail and green eyes. She was Number 98 and Number 99 had dark skin like Abby, along with black hair only it was done in soft curls that fell to her chin line. They were both dressed for the warm weather. Number 98 extended her hand. "Velcome! I'm Number 98 and this is Number 99. Vow, I can't believe we get to vork with the infamous kids from Sector V!" Number 99 gave a shy wave and signed the words "Hello".

"Number 5 that well known huh? She an't surprised. I be Number 5, this is Number 3. If you don't mind me asking, why isn't 99 saying anything?" Number 98 smiled. "Vell, she is deaf so she uses sign-language. Don't vorry, I vill help you out. Anyway, ve should get going. I vill fill you in on vhat ve know so far." As they listened to Number 98 talk, the two of them realized that they had to listen to her carefully, to understand her, for she had a heavy German accent. "So, Number 5 says we should hit their hideout when it's dark. Take them by surprise and less chance of getting caught." Number 99 nodded her head and signed her response, in which Number 98 translated. "She says great idea. Vill give us time to get ready, plan, and have some fun vhile ve are at it."

Kuki grinned. "Yay! I sooo want to go swimming again! I get to play with the dolphins and the fishies…" Number Five gave a small grin. "Number Five wouldn't mind a swim either. So let's get a plan set up so we can have some fun."

Two hours later, night had fallen and the four girls were currently standing in the shadows, just outside of a local pizza joint. They could hear loud music coming from inside, along with loud chatter. Numbers 98 and 99 were at the back, while Numbers 3 and 5 were up front. Number Five glanced to Kuki who was behind her. "Ok Number 3, you ready? We go in and act like we want to join, become teenagers, therefore distracting them so Numbers 98 and 99 can go in and disable whatever it is they are using on kids. Got it?" Kuki nodded. "You bet Number 5."

They were about ready to go inside, when Kuki heard a sound behind her. "What was that? Number 5… " Abby turned around and narrowed her eyes. "What Number 3?! Can't you see Number 5 is getting ready to go on a…." Her narrowed eyes grew wide when she saw what Number 3 was talking about. "Number 3, look…" Before she could warn Kuki of her fate, Kuki had been hit on the head with something and as Number 5 reached out to grab her and protect her from the fall, she felt something hit her own head hard and as she fell forward, her world went black.
