Chapter 2: Heading to Europe

As the shuttle that was carrying Numbers 1, 2 and 86 finally arrived in England, they were immediately greeted by Sector E whom were stationed there.

"Greetings" said the operative in the top hat and suit as he greeted Number 1 and shook his hand, "what brings you back to merry old England?"

"We're on the lookout for Vlad Masters, a.k.a. Vlad Plasmius whom once allied with one of are arch nemeses-Father to create a halfa army" said Number 1.

"Well what a coincidence" replied the operative, "he is currently in England right now making some business deals with European business men."

"Can you direct us to the location of where he is making his business deals?" asked Number 1.

"Certainly governor" replied the larger operative as he got out a remote control and called for a two-story bus which was of course modified by two-by-four technology, "we'll be happy to take you three there."

As the three operatives got on the two-story bus, Number 1 notice a family face was at the wheel. It was the scared girl whom he encountered on the trip with his father to England and where they had mistaken him for stealing the Book of KND.

"So what are your numbers operatives?" asked Number 86 to the members of Sector E.

"My operative number is Number 1001" replied the one in the top hat and suit.

"And my operative number is Number 1004" said the large one as he got onto the bus.

"And I am operative Number 1005" replied the scared girl who was driving the bus.

"Well then" said Number 86, "let's put it into drive."

"Hey, I was going to say that" complained Number 2.

"Whatever" said Number 86.

The two-story bus then began to move throughout the city in search of Vlad Masters. As the bus went around a street corner, the two-story bus was blocked by a blockade of Ice Cream men along with some sort of hooded ghost leading the group.

"What the heck is that?" asked Number 1005.

"Ice Cream men" replied Number 1 as he got his weapon ready, "and looks like there is some sort of ghost leading them."

"So let's fight our way through" said Number 86 as she got her weapon ready.

As the KND operatives got out of the two-story bus, the ghost leading the Ice Cream men was none other than Lydia, Freak Show's loyal companion. She then revealed herself by throwing off her robe and showing off her tattoos.

"Okay" said Number 2, "what the heck is going on?"

Suddenly the tattoos on Lydia started to move about and head toward the KND operatives. The KND operatives then began to fire their weapons against the ghostly tattoos that were coming to life along against the Ice Cream men whom also joined in on the fight. While the fighting was going on, Vlad Masters was right in the middle of making some "business deals" with European business men when he was in his ghost mode as Vlad Plasmius. As Vlad continued to hover over some business men in suits, Vlad was just about to overshadow each one of them to make the "business deal" but before he could some ice cream came right out of nowhere and got the business men in sticky situations.

"What the heck is going on?" asked Vlad as he became visible suddenly he turns around and notice a squad of Ice Cream men along with Freak Show, "And who the heck are you?"

"Who the heck am I?" asked Freak Show, "I am Freak Show Father's new ally. And you're just about to become his servant."

"And just how are you going to do that?" asked Vlad.

"With this of course" replied Freak Show as he took out the specter which Father had rebuilt for him.

Suddenly Vlad's eyes turned reder then usual and then kneeled before Freak Show.

"Excellent" said Freak Show, "Father would be most pleased that his once great ally, Vlad Plasmius is now under his control and influence."

"Sir" said an Ice Cream man as he came into the scene, "we're sort of having some trouble fighting the Kids Next Door."

"Then let's bring in some backup" said Freak Show as he signaled Vlad Plasmius to follow him outside.

As the KND operatives were getting the upper hand against the ghostly tattoos and the Ice Cream men, they thought it was all over until Freak Show appeared along with a squad of Ice Cream men and Vlad Plasmius himself.

"Okay Vlad" said Number 1, "as much as we don't like each other, I think it is time that us Kids Next Door should place you in our Witness Protection Program Against Nefarious Adults."

"Vlad?" asked Number 2 as he looked at Vlad's really red eyes.

"Vlad Plasmius can not hear you" replied Freak Show as he then showed his specter, "I am controlling him by this. And once he is out of the way, I and Father will find the legendary Reality Gauntlet so that you snot noise kids can no longer cause us any trouble anymore."

"Will it doesn't matter what your plans are" said Number 1005, "because we're going to stop you right here, right now."

"That is what you think" said Freak Show as he signaled Plasmius to turn into four Vlads and fire a ghost beam knocking the KND operatives out cold.

As a several minutes went by, the KND operatives woke from the ordeal to find that Vlad Plasmius along with Freak Show and Father's minions were gone.

"This does not look good" said Number 1.

"Of course this doesn't look good" said Number 86, "what do you expect?"

"I think you three should join up with your other teammates" replied Number 1001, "we'll be happy to provide you a quick transport back to the states."

Meanwhile Freak Show along with Vlad Plasmius now under his total control arrived at Father's European resort on an island which Father owns in the Mediterranean.

"Have you succeeded in capturing Vlad Plasmius?" asked Father as he got up from his chair to greet Freak Show.

"Absolutely" replied Freak Show, "my mission was a success."

"Excellent" said Father as Freak Show handed him the specter, "now that my former ally Vlad Plasmius is firmly under we can begin phase two of the operation."

"And that is?" asked Freak Show.

"To retrieve information on the Reality Gauntlet and to locate it" replied Father then he reaches for his communicator, "Father to Cree, began with phase two."

"This is Cree to Father" replied Cree on the other line whom was right in the outskirts of Amity Park along with Chad organizing the teenager ninja squad, "we're ready for the second phase."

"Excellent" said Father, "proceed with full force."
