-KND Moonbase, 2012-

"Numbuh 362, sir!" Fanny Fulbright – aka Numbuh 86 - saluted.

Rachel McKenzie smiled, nodding at her. "At ease, Numbuh 86. Have you seen Sector V?"

"Not recently, sir." The redhead shrugged. "I 'ave seen the Toxic Four recently."

Rachel groaned. The four poisonbenders were pretty much a thorn in their side, especially since one of their operatives had drifted over and become their leader, forming the Terrible Toxic Four, a group of poisonbenders bent on causing havoc. "Well, send Sector W on it, won't you?"

"Yes sir!" Fanny saluted again before yelling, "SECTOR DOUBLE-YOUUUU!"

Rachel chuckled before heading towards her office, eager to get away from most of the operatives. It was really stressful being the Supreme Leader, and Rachel always took every chance she had to take a break. This was one of those times, and she planned to take advantage of every moment of it.

No sooner had she set foot inside her office when suddenly, a few kids ambushed her from the inside. She gave a muffled squeak, then a relieved sigh as the kids got off her. She sat up, her head spinning, as she tried to recall who they were.

"I didn't give any orders to attack, you numbskulls!" A brown-haired boy hissed, his red glasses flashing. The flash, however, didn't hide his eyes from Rachel, and she saw her eyes copied perfectly into his face.

"Like ye wouldn't have attacked 'er, Cheren." Another voice commented. Rachel's gaze swiveled towards a black haired girl with her hair tied up in a tall ponytail, split in the middle like a certain pink rabbit from Chowder's ears. Freckles were spattered on her cheeks, and Rachel had the sudden impression of Fanny and Patton combined. "Ye just like to blame 'em when yer scared."

A girl that reminded Rachel strongly of Hoagie – what with her aviator's hat and yellow goggles - chirped, "Derp to all of you. Now stop fighting."

"Yes, please stop." A pair of boys that looked almost alike – except one had dreadlocks – said simultaneously, stepping closer to the girl. Now, when they were all together, Rachel noticed that they looked identical, like… triplets!

Suddenly, a girl in shorts stepped out of a corner, and Rachel choked out a gasp. She looked like… like some… Rachel did not dare to say the word freak. Hybrid, maybe? A raccoon-human hybrid, that's what the girl was.

The girl slapped her forehead. "Oi. Somebody 'elp me 'ere."

"Easy peasy." A feminine voice drawled, and suddenly, before Rachel's eyes, purple noxious gas wrapped around the triplets and the others, separating them into two groups. Their source was none other than a pigtailed girl sitting on the desk, with another boy that looked like her twin hanging upside down from the ceiling's bars.

Rachel wanted to scream. What in the name of crud were these kids doing here in her office? Without permission, too! "Excuse me, but… WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY OFFICE?" In the process, she had stood up, and she was now fuming.

"OH!" A girl shrieked from behind the desk, her head bumping against it, judging from the loud thud.

Another voice, this time a boy's, started cooing. "It's OK, Aurora. It's just a bump…"

"Who was that?" Rachel asked pointedly.

The glass-eyed boy – Cheren, she assumed - sighed. "That would be my older – and more childish – sister, Aurora, and her boyfriend, Francis."

"He's NOT my boyfriend!" Aurora screamed, jumping out from behind the desk to tackle Cheren to the ground. "Take that back right now, or I'll… I'll hit you with my SPLANKER!"

Cheren barked, "You wish! You can't attack your Supreme Leader, doofus! Now get off me, I'm your brother!"

WHAT? Rachel's mind was spinning. Supreme… LEADER?

"OK, first of all," Rachel stepped forward, jabbing a finger into Cheren's chest. Scarily, he wasn't that much smaller than her. "I'm Supreme Leader around here. And second, WHO THE CRUD ARE YOU?"

Cheren smiled weakly. "I forgot. I'm Cheren, and this is my sister Aurora." The blonde girl waved, and Rachel blinked. Was that… her hairstyle? And was that Nigel Uno's eyes?

"This is Panini, I call her Rabbit Ears," The freckled girl grinned, showing off an array of sharp teeth, making Rachel shudder. "And this is her brother, Francis." The boy emerged from his hiding spot and waved awkwardly at Rachel.

"And now, the triplets, Harry, Haylee and Artie. We call them the HAH for short." The three kids all struck a few poses, and Rachel had to giggle.

Cheren blinked, poking the noxious purple gas still wrapped around him. "Um, Haru, Mase? Let us go now."

"Oh, right." The pigtailed girl dropped the kids to the metal floor, making them all wince in pain. "Oops, sorry."

Cheren rolled his eyes. "Now, as I was saying, these guys are Mason and Haruka, the poisonbending twins…"

"Poisonbenders?" Rachel stood at attention.

Aurora stepped forward, putting a hand on Rachel's shoulder. A shudder ran through Rachel, and suddenly, she had a glimpse of herself, only older, and Aurora, only younger. She looked so similar to herself when younger, and it made Rachel's blood… well, in other words, Rachel felt a connection with this girl that she couldn't explain.

"Calm down M- Rachel." Aurora said gently. "Almost half of our operatives are benders, and they don't harm their fellow operatives."

Rachel blinked. "Your operatives?"

"Well," Haylee began, adjusting her goggles. "You see, Missus Uno- I mean McKenzie, we came from the future…"

Rachel was about to reply when Fanny marched in the door, her back to them. "All RIGHT, Sector V! Ah'm gettin' the Supreme Leader right now! Yeesh, that Nigel Uno… Numbuh 36-"

By that point, Fanny had turned around, and saw the assortment of children inside Rachel's office. Most of them were familiar faces, but it was Panini and Francis's faces that made her holler.

"SECTOR V!"
