Gamewizard2008: ARE YOU A MIND READER? XD Or maybe I'm just too obvious, I dunno!
Luna watched, curious, as the robot opened up to reveal five children inside of it. They looked incredibly sinister, yet, somewhat innocent.
"What do you Delightful Dorks want now?" Wally yelled, pointing his G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. at the Delightful Children.
They smiled evilly, and Luna felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. The Delightfuls all spoke again, in chorus. "We're here to finally destroy you once and for all, KN-Doofuses!" They laughed manically.
"Well, we've got backup!" Wally shouted proudly. "So it's six to five, Delightful Dorks!"
Abby whacked him on the head for letting out the fact that Luna was staying here. "Shut up, you fool! They're not supposed to know!"
The Delightful Children all looked startled, but they soon grinned evilly once again. "No matter. Bring him out, and we'll destroy Sector V forever!"
"Or her." The two Delightful girls broke out of the chorus to speak together in an annoyed tone at the three Delightful boys.
Nigel's brows furrowed as he finally said, "OK, but we're warning you, she's tough!"
"Bring. It. On." The Delightfuls hissed.
Kuki warned, "Please put on these emergency earmuffs right now." She handed everyone- except Luna - a pair of earmuffs, even the Delightfuls. They put them on immediately as Kuki screamed, "NUMBUH SIX POINT THIRTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"
Luna winced as Kuki's voice nearly blasted her eardrums off. "So much for quietness in the broom closet." She emerged slowly, the floor suddenly becoming more interesting to her.
The Delightful Children all stared at Luna as she shuffled slowly forward, stopping beside Abby to continue looking at the floor. To all of them, she was foreign, and not from Virginia's Kids Next Door. "She's Numbuh 6.13?"
Luna scuffed the floor with her shoe as the Delightful Children laughed. "That's your secret weapon, KN-Doofuses? She wouldn't hurt a mosquito!"
It just so happened that a mosquito passed through the gaping hole into the tree house and landed on Luna's arm, ready to suck out the blood. A few moments of silence passed between the operatives and the Delightfuls as Luna looked down at the mosquito. Then, with a quick slap, the mosquito died.
"You were saying?" Wally grinned.
The Delightfuls hesitated, but otherwise they simply replied, "A minor setback, perhaps, but we will not be defeated this time! Say goodbye, Kids Next Door!"
Luna inched backwards and turned her back onto them just as Wally roared and the battle ensued. It seemed that Sector V was losing without Luna's interference, and they nearly surrendered when the Delightfuls' laser incinerated Nigel's G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. It also seemed Luna was turning tail and running away, but in reality, she was calling her Sector for backup. She had pressed the middle of her F.L.U.R.I.K.E.N., which transformed into a tiny cell phone.
"Numbuh 11.23.2, Sector V needs backup from Sector R. Repeat, Sector V needs backup." Luna whispered urgently to the person on the other end, which was Samantha.
"Roger that. Numbuh 3.4 and Numbuh 6.9 are coming over with their L.I.L.E.E.P.A.D.s in two minutes." Samantha's crackly voice sounded out of the cellphone. "Over and out."
"Give up yet?" The Delightfuls sneered at Sector V.
Abby hissed, "Never! We'll never give up cause we're Kids Next Door operatives!"
The Delightfuls were about to shout something back when somebody outside screamed, "INCOMING!"
"What in the name of-" The Delightfuls' robot jumped back as two lily pad shaped hovercraft flew into the treehouse, each of them holding two operatives from Sector R, Numbuh 3.4- Ria, and Numbuh 6.9- Nicole. Each of them held their own weapons, which they pointed at the Delightfuls.
Brunette Nicole hissed at the Delightfuls, "We'll make sure this doesn't hurt. Much." Her laser-decorated with butterflies-was pointed directly at the sandy blond Delightful girl, who gulped.
"Oh, don't worry. We won't hurt you if you leave quietly." Blond haired Ria whispered grimly, her own laser pointed at the other Delightful girl. "Unless you want your sisters to be decimated."
The Delightfuls all glared at the two(but the two Delightful girls were shaking with fear), anger blazing in their blue eyes, but they reluctantly left the treehouse, trudging back to the Delightful Mansion.
"Thanks, Ria. Thanks Nicole." Luna smiled as the two operatives descended to the floor.
Ria switched off her hovercraft's engine. "No problem, Luna. We're part of your Sector, and we're Kids Next Door."
"So you two are from Sector R?" Hoagie asked.
"HOUSE PARTY!" Kuki screamed, delighted.
Everyone stared at her, but Nicole replied to Hoagie, "Yeah. I'm Nicole, and this is Ria, the blond ditz."
"Shut it, brunette." Ria joked, elbowing Nicole in the side.
Nigel blinked. Girls were actually dominating the gender numbers now, so he coughed and said, "Ahem. Well, thank you, Numbuhs…?"
"3.4 and 6.9." Ria and Nicole said together.
"OK. Thank you Numbuhs 3.4 and 6.9 for helping us defeat the Delightful Dorks." Nigel said formally, shaking their hands gratefully while Kuki made their faces turn blue as she hugged them tightly.
"We'd best be going now. Bye, Sector V! Bye, Luna!" Ria switched on her hovercraft again, and Nicole switched on hers. Together they flew back to their base, waving goodbye until Sector V couldn't see them anymore.
Luna frowned, remembering what Nigel said about the Delightfuls. "Isn't it insulting when you call them Delightful Dorks? I mean, come on, they're humans too."
"Yeah, well, they're the cruddy Delightful Children." Wally crossed his arms. "And they deserve that 'cause they follow adults and try to destroy us."
Luna reasoned, "But there must be a little good in them. I mean, come on, they actually looked innocent!" Especially the blond kid at front…
"That's why they're called the Delightful Children." Nigel sighed as he looked at the gaping hole in their treehouse. "Hoagie, can you fix this by tomorrow?"
"My pleasure!" Hoagie saluted.
Nigel nodded. "OK, well, you guys, the sun's going down. I didn't realize we've been talking for that long. Abby, help Luna bring her stuff to your room."
"It'll be Numbuh 5's pleasure." Abby tipped her hat at Nigel before grabbing the handle of Luna's suitcase and lugging it down the hall.
Luna smiled as she said, "Well, good night guys. I'll see you guys at school."
"You're already enrolled?" Kuki asked curiously.
"Yep."
Nigel clapped his hands together. "All right team. Kids Next Door…go to bed!"
"We know that." Wally muttered.
"You… failed… AGAIN!"
The Delightful Children cringed as Father raged, his flames burning up higher and higher. They had recounted the experience right after they had eaten dinner, and Father's rage simply made their stomachs turn.
"WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE?" Father roared. He banged his fist on the wall in anger.
The Delightful Children stammered, "F-father! T-there was a w-whole lot of f-foreign operatives! Led b-by Numbuh 6.13!"
"Numbuh 6.13?" Father's flames died down as he sank into his chair. "Another operative?"
"We hear she's a foreigner." The Delightfuls said in their monotone. "Someone from another country, considering her accent."
"A girl, eh?" Father mused over this quietly as he sent for the Delightful Children to go back to their room. "Go to your room, now! You're grounded for three days!"
The Delightful Children muttered, but otherwise they walked back to their room, with them occasionally muttering curses at the Kids Next Door. Then, for the first time that day, they separated into their specific genders, girls and boys respectively. They changed into their pajamas – of course, they were in the bathroom one by one – and settled down to sleep on their very very fancy big bed.
Well, at least, most of them were trying.
The blond boy – Bruce, had fallen asleep first, his face covered by his pillow. He was soon followed by the boy in the helmet – Lenny, who placed his helmet on their desk.
The tall brunette, David, had a problem when the sandy blond girl Ashley pushed him out of the way for her to lie down on her part of the bed. He ended up on the floor, but he soon climbed back up and fell asleep on his pillow. Then the last girl, Olivia -otherwise known as Ogie-, squeezed herself in between Lenny and Bruce to lie down and sleep peacefully for a few minutes.
Asleep, the Delightful Children looked so innocent, so calm, and so peaceful. They looked like their own person, having their own special dreams. Of course, it was too good to be true, though, because suddenly Bruce started thrashing.
Ashley, who was facing him while she was asleep, was hit full on the face with one of Bruce's clenched fists. She jolted up immediately, her hair sticking out, and her eye twitching.
"Wha?" David slowly opened one eye, thus starting the imminent out of characterness. But of course his hair covered them, and Ashley couldn't see them. "Whassamatter?"
"This idiot punched me in the face." Ashley jerked her thumb at Bruce, who hit Ogie next with his elbow. The poor girl curled up in a fetal position as she winced in pain. Ashley paused. "Hold that thought. This idiot punched me in the face and elbowed Ogie in the stomach."
"It huuurts…" Ogie moaned.
Lenny mumbled, "Not today, Ogie. I'm watching Digimon on Animax…" He turned his back onto the four and continued to sleep.
"Lenny, you idiot, you're not watching Digimon on Animax!" Ashley grabbed her pillow and slammed it on Lenny's face, waking him up.
"Ow…hey, I was having this really great dream about hotdogs…why is Ogie wincing?" Lenny looked curiously at Ogie.
Ashley glared at Bruce. "This deep sleeping idiot elbowed her in the stomach and punched me in the face."
Bruce yawned loudly as he turned over and continued sleeping. Lenny raised an eyebrow, but otherwise didn't comment further as he lay down again. "Just go to sleep guys. You know him, a heavy sleeper. It's a wonder he doesn't get as tall as David the light sleeper."
"Ha ha." David said sarcastically as they all went back to sleep.
