Operation: R.E.V.E.N.G.E.
(Really Evil Villain with Experimental New Gravitational Energy)

It was just another day at the Kids Next Door Moon Base. Numbuh 362 was just recruiting another operative.
"State your name." said Numbuh 362.
"John Madison, sir."
"Well, John. You shall now be known as Numbuh 187. Report to Section V for duty. They know you're coming."
"Section V? Isn't that led by..."

"Numbuh 1. What's going on?" asked Numbuh 5.
"We're getting a new member." said Numbuh 1.
The team was standing outside their ship. The S.C.A.M.P.E.R. (Shabby Camper Actually Makes Perfect Emergency Rescumabob).
"A new member?" asked Numbuh 5.
"Who is it?" asked Numbuh 2. "Numbuh 6?"
"No. Numbuh 187."
"187?" asked Numbuh 5. "Isn't he the newest operative?"
"Numbuh 362 told me he's very skilled in hand-to-hand combat. " said Numbuh 1.
"I'll bet." said Numbuh 5 sarcastically.
"Here he comes now." said Numbuh 1.
They stared down the hangar, watching Numbuh 187 approach.
"Section V?" asked 187.
"Yes." said Numbuh 1. "You must be Numbuh 187. Welcome to the team."

They boarded the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and headed off on their mission.
"Have you been briefed on our mission, 187?" asked Numbuh 1.
"Numbuh 362 said something about a former Kids Next Door member in possession of a device that turns you into a teenager."
"Yes." said Numbuh 1. "This former operative is Numbuh 11 and she plans to use the device to turn Kids Next Door operatives into teenagers."
Numbuh 187 nodded. "So they'll be forced to be decommissioned."
"Correct. We must stop her at all costs." said Numbuh 1.

They landed the ship near the base where Numbuh 11 was last seen. The team pulled out their T.H.U.M.P.E.R.s (Teddy Hurling Ultra Microwave Powered Ejection Rifle).
"Everybody be ready." said Numbuh 1. "She could be anywhere."
"If she's still here." said Numbuh 2.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm dying to kick some butt." Numbuh 4 said a little loudly.
"Shh." Numbuh 5 hushed. "You'll give away our position."
They continued on a little longer until they came to a branching hallway.
"Let's split up, team." Numbuh 1 said.
"Is that really the best thing to do?" asked Numbuh 187.
"It's the best way to locate Numbuh 11. Now split up. Numbuh 2 will go Numbuh 3. Numbuh 187 will go with Numbuh 5. And Numbuh 4 is with me. Split up, team."
The team split up and went down the three different hallways.
"You sure you can handle this?" asked Numbuh 5.
"I'm new." said 187. "Not weak."
"We'll see."
The two continued on when Numbuh 187 disappeared.
"Uh... Numbuh 187?" asked Numbuh 5. "Where'd you go?"
Then a voice spoke up and it was NOT Numbuh 187's.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't my little sister." said Numbuh 11 dropping down from the ceiling, holding what looked like a ray gun. "How's it going, Abigail?"
"Better than you're doing, Cree."
"It'll be such a joy turning you into a teenager. Then we can hang out all the time." said Numbuh 11 (or Cree) sarcastically.
"Like that's ever gonna happen." said Numbuh 5 (or Abigail).
She fired a Teddy Bear at Cree.
"Really?" asked Cree. "A Teddy Bear?"
"Probably wasn't the best choice." she said throwing away the T.H.U.M.P.E.R.. Cree took her turn and aimed the device. Just then, Numbuh 187 emerged from the shadows behind Cree. He slid in front of Cree and grabbed the device.
"What the... Who are you?" asked Cree.
"Names's John. But you can call me 187."
"You must be a new operative."
"Yeah. So?"
"So you have a lot to learn." said Numbuh 11, letting go of the device, slid under 187, and kicked him in the back. He hit the wall and dropped the "Age Enhancer". Cree quickly reached out and grabbed it. "It was a nice try, though."
"How many times do I have to say this? I'm new. Not weak."
He rolled out of the way just as Cree fired the gun. He quickly stood up and delivered a blow to Cree's hand. She dropped the device and 187 grabbed her arm. He threw her into the wall near Numbuh 5. Cree stood up and looked at Numbuh 5. Numbuh 187 grabbed the Age Enhancer and aimed it at Cree.
"Are you dumb? I'm already a teenager." Cree said. She turned to Numbuh 5 and threw a punch. Numbuh 5 caught the punch and delivered a kick that knocked Cree backwards.
"That's enough!" yelled Cree. "Give me the gun, John. You can't use it on me anyways."
"Maybe not. But I can always do this." He raised the gun in his hands, preparing to smash it against the wall.
"187, wait!" yelled Numbuh 5.
"For what?"
"If you destroy it at such a close range, you'll be turned into a teenager!"
"Well, what am I supposed to do?"
"Here's an idea." said Cree.
She grabbed the teddy bear off the ground and threw it at Numbuh 187. He dropped the gun... again. As soon as she threw the bear, she kneed Numbuh 5 in the stomach, and dove for the Age Enhancer. She knocked 187 down, grabbed the device, and aimed it at Numbuh 5. Numbuh 187 looked over at Numbuh 5. When he saw that there was no way she could dodge the attack, he knew what had to be done. Just as Cree pulled the trigger, 187 intercepted. He was engulfed in a blue energy.
"What?" yelled Cree.
When the energy cleared, 187 was a teenager. He grabbed Cree and threw her into the wall, knocking her out. Numbuh 5 slowly stood up and walked over to 187.
"Hey. Thanks." she said.
"Don't mention it."
"I guess we should take her to the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., along with the device." said Numbuh 5.

Back on the ship, 187 sat in a chair towards the back. Cree was tied up in a chair next to him. He was in charge of watching her. When they got some air, Numbuh 1 walked over to Numbuh 187.
"I wanted to say thanks for saving Numbuh 5. We couldn't afford to lose her. She's been with us for a long time."
"But you can afford losing me, right? 'Cause I'm new?"
"What?" asked Numbuh 1, sounding shocked.
"I have to be decommissioned now, right?"
"I'm afraid so. I wish it wasn't like this but it is."
"There's no way I can stay?" asked 187. "I mean I sacrificed my childhood."
"And your sacrifice shall be remembered forever, 187. But I'm afraid the Code of the KND states that when a kid becomes a teenager, he'she must be decommissioned immediately. I'm sorry." he said, walking away.
Numbuh 5 approached him next.
"I won't forget you." she said.
"But I'll forget you." he said. "Right?"
"Yeah." she said, sounding a little sad. "Look. I'll see if I can talk Numbuh 362 into letting you stay, okay?"
"Yeah. Thanks." he said.
"A favor for a favor, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I'll see ya later."
"See ya." said 187, as Numbuh 5 left.
"Well, looks like your friends are gonna abandon you." said Cree, waking up.
"Shut it, Cree. Numbuh 5's gonna see if she can talk 362 into letting me stay."
"You honestly think they're gonna let you stay? This is exactly what happened to me. I had to escape from the Kids Next Door Moon Base before they could decommission me and erase my memory. I'd advise you to do the same." 187 acted like he wasn't listening, but he was. "If you let me go, I'll help you."
"I don't think that's gonna happen." said 187.
"If you get me sent to prison, you'll regret it. Ya hear me?"
"I hear you. But I'm not listening."
"What? That makes no sense."
"Sure it does."
"Moon Base coming into view." said Numbuh 2.
"Prepare for approach." said Numbuh 1. He looked back at 187 and Cree. "Keep watching her. We're almost there."
"You see? He demands respect, but doesn't give it."
"I said 'shut it', Cree."
"Hey, I'm just sayin'."
"Well, I don't care what you have to say."

They landed the ship and brought Cree to Numbuh 362.
"Well, well, well. Numbuh 11. Haven't seen you in a while." said Numbuh 362. She turned to Numbuh 86. "Take her to the prison."
"Yes, sir." said Numbuh 86 happily. "Let's go, 11." She got two other guards to assist in bringing Cree to prison.
"Don't let them do this, John!" Cree yelled back. "You'll pay for this!"
"So. Numbuh 187. It seems the mission didn't go well. Care to explain your recklessness?"
"He wasn't being reckless, 362. He protected me from becoming a teenager." said Numbuh 5.
"He saved you?" 362 asked.
"Yeah. And I was wondering... since he did save me from Cree, would it be okay for him to stay?"
"No," said Numbuh 362. "He's a teenager now. He must be decommissioned."
"Can't you overlook the rules just this once?" asked Numbuh 5.
"I'm sorry. I can't allow that." said Numbuh 362.
Two guards came over to escort 187 to the decommissioning room to have his memory erased. Sector V headed back to their tree house base. Numbuh 187 kept thinking about what Cree was saying. About escaping. He then felt a terrible rage build up inside of him. They were almost to the decommissioning room when Numbuh 187 dropped to the floor and knocked the guards over. He ran back to the hangar, using shadows as cover. The guards ran back to Numbuh 362.
"Sir. Numbuh 187 is escaping." said one of the guards.
"What?" Numbuh 362 yelled. "Again?"
A couple of nearby operatives tried to stop 187 but he took them all down easily. He hopped aboard an empty C.O.O.L.B.U.S. (Carries Operatives Overhead Luxuriously Boasts Unbeatable Speeds) and took off back to Earth.

Back at the tree house, Numbuh 5 sat down at the table and did 3 walked over to her.
"Something wrong?" asked Numbuh 3.
"I don't know, Kuki. Guess I'm just thinking about Numbuh 187."
"The one they're decommissioning?" Numbuh 3 asked.
"It's not fair. He saved my life and he's being punished for it."
Numbuh 3 sat down with Numbuh 5 and the two just thought. Numbuh 3 was mostly thinking about Rainbow Monkeys. But Numbuh 5 was thinking about Numbuh 187.
