A look on the outside of Gallagher Elementary showed the sun shining, the birds chirping, and the clouds impersonating some of the most well known characters in Yipper! And then the sound of a bell ringing brought out all of the joyful children, as they began their favorite time of the school day, recess.
"It's a beautiful day to be outdoors," said Numbuh 1. "So, what do you guys wanna do today?"
"Let's go to the parking lot! The 4 square box is open!" Numbuh 3 yelled
"Why don't we go to the swings? There's a bunch of swings open." Numbuh 2 suggested
"Ah, don't listen to them Numbuh 1. They don't know what a good time on the rock climb will do for ya." Numbuh 4 spoke
Numbuh 1 could not decide with all of the open choices, he rubbed his chin as he pondered his options, but then remembered that Numbuh 5 hadn't made any suggestions, in fact it seemed that she wasn't even paying attention to any of them as she seemed to be staring off into space.
"Numbuh 5, do you have any suggestions?" Numbuh 1 asked
"Hmm..." Numbuh 5 groaned, "Any of ya'll ever seen that merry go round here before?"
"Merry go round? Where?" Numbuh 2 asked as he and the others looked around but found nothing.
"It's over here, dummies," said Numbuh 5, as she pointed towards the direction she had been staring at. "I remember there used to be an open pile of mulch over there, it's where we caught Numbuh 60 and Numbuh 86 havin' that intimate moment."
"Oh yeah, man how gross was that? They were all like, 'oh you're such a good kisser' and 'I wish this moment would never end' BLAH!" Numbuh 4 said
"Grrrrrrrr!" Numbuh 3 groaned as she began to turn into that devilish face she made when she got angry, especially when Numbuh 4 mocked those love moments that Numbuh 3 so dearly enjoyed.
"What? It's not my fault they were all 'kissy wissy' right there where we could all see them." Numbuh 4 said
"Knock it off you two," ordered Numbuh 1. "I do remember that there was nothing there, and a lot of the kids were complaining about how there was so much room there and the adults wouldn't put anything there for us kids to enjoy."
"Well it looks like they finally came to their senses." Numbuh 2 said, "C'mon, last one there has to spin us!"
Numbuh 2 was the first to run towards the unoccupied merry go round, Numbuh 4 was next as he said, "You're on, Numbuh 2!" Then Numbuh 3 took off, she actually caught up to Numbuh 4, 'accidentally' tripping him up as she passed him. "Hey! No fair!" Numbuh 4 yelled as he lied on the ground, stomach first. Then Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 1 passed him, both laughing at seeing Numbuh 4 fall, and of course him getting angry over coming in last place.
"No fair, I got tripped up on the way." Numbuh 4 said
"Too bad suckah, you finished in last and you have to push us." Numbuh 5 said, as the 4 of them sat on the floor of the merry go round, all having their hands firmly grasped on the handles.
"Ugh, fine." Numbuh 4 groaned as he placed his hands on one of the handles and began to push with all his might.
"Is it really that tough for you, Numbuh 4?" Numbuh 2 asked
"With your big butt sittin' on it, it makes it 10 times worse." Numbuh 4 answered, as he continued to push the merry go round, getting more traction as he went along.
"At this rate, we're gonna be sittin' here until next thursday's history quiz." Numbuh 5 said
"Here, let's all get up and help push," said Numbuh 1
"Say what?" Numbuh 5 asked
"We're not gonna get anywhere near the speed we want to with only one of us pushing the other 4 of us," said Numbuh 1. "So let's all just push as fast as we can, and when we get to a speed that is fast enough for all of us, we can all jump on at the same time."
"I'm in!" Numbuh 3 said as she got off the merry go round and placed her hands on one of the handles, ready to push.
"Sounds like a good idea." Numbuh 2 said as he did the same thing.
"C'mn Abby, it's not that bad." Numbuh 1 said
"Alright, fine. But next time let's just sit and watch Numbuh 4 try and push all of us, it's always funny to watch." Numbuh 5 said as they all put there hands on the handles and began to push.
Faster and faster they went, as they seemed to be going at a hypersonic speed, perhaps even faster than the speed of light. The merry go round was extremely light when no one was on it, which made it easy to push, especially with 5 people.
"IIIIII'MMMM GGGEEEETTTIIINNGG DDDDIIIIIIZZZZZZZZYYYYY..." Numbuh 2 said as he continued to push.
"Everybody on!" Numbuh 1 yelled as he and the others jumped on to the merry go round and went for the fastest spin of their young lives.
"WEEEEEEEEEE!" Numbuh 3 yelled, "This is fun!"
Numbuh 4 looked as if he was gonna hurl. Numbuh 2 looked as if he would die from exhaustion. Numbuh 3 had her arms in the air. Numbuh 5 held on to the handle with one hand and her hat with the other. While Numbuh 1 kept saying "WOAH!" as they continued to go around in circles.
The merry go round finally came to an abrupt stop, as all 5 of the KND members got off and had extreme troubles just walking.
"So... Dizzy..." Numbuh 3 said as her tongue hung out.
"Woah, Woah, WOAH!" Numbuh 4 yelled as he fell backwards from his dizzyness into a nearby garbage can, as Numbuh 3 laughed.
"That was crazy." Numbuh 1 said as he had to walk with his arms in the air to maintain his balance.
"Uh guys," said Numbuh 2. "Where are we?"
"What are you talkin' about, Numbuh 2?" Asked a still dizzy Numbuh 5. "We're in the playgr..."
"What is it Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 1 asked as he now became undizzy and noticed the surroundings. "W-Where are we?"
As they all regained their straight line vision, they noticed that the sunshine had been covered, the chirping of birds had been silent, and the clouds had been lifted. They were not in the school playground anymore, no they were now in a place where the clouds looked as if they were steam coming out of a coal factory, coated in black and gray. The buildings looked old and abandoned, chipping away in the paint and crumbling away in texture. The road have several cracks in it, and the playground they were in looked like a jungle. And everything was in black and white, the only things that had color were the clothes on the kids as well as the kids themselves.
"What is this place?" Numbuh 4 asked
"It looks like we fast forwarded into halloween." Numbuh 3 said
"This is strange at the most," said Numbuh 1 as he looked around. "C'mon team, I don't know how we got in here, but we might as well look around."
The 5 of them exited the playground and went into the streets, where it had seemed like an earthquake had come on by and shattered the roads. There were no cars driving or parked anywhere in sight. They walked along the road, jumping over the large cracks that tried to block their way.
"This place is scary," said Numbuh 3. "There's so many cracks in the road that we have to jump over, and the houses look like they're going to fall down at any minute."
"We'll just have to avoid them," said Numbuh 1. "We've gotta find someone hear that we can talk to."
As they continued walking, Numbuh 4 had begun to look around at randomness. As we well know, he liked to see the destruction of things, houses, cars, anything really. So he really wished to see one of the buildings around him just topple over at any second. However, something strange caught his eye, something he did not expect. When he looked to his left, he stopped and saw 4 large shadowy figures with large circular objects on their backs, as if they were backpacks of some kind. They also seemed to wearing very thin bandanas, only they were across their eyes, and their eyes glowed white. 2 of the figures had weapons on their backs, the other 2 had weapons in their belt pockets.
"Hey guys!" Numbuh 4 yelled as he turned towards the others, "Come here, quick!"
"What is it, Numbuh 4?" Numbuh 1 asked as they all ran back to where Numbuh 4 was.
"Look!" Numbuh 4 pointed where he saw the 4 figures, but when he looked again, they were gone.
"But... I... There was... I mean..." Numbuh 4 stuttered, failing to complete a sentence.
"Enough messing around Numbuh 4, we've gotta keep moving." Numbuh 1 said as they all marched along, Numbuh 4 stood flat in shock, but eventually followed.
"Where is everybody?" Numbuh 5 asked
"This place is giving me the creeps," said a frightened Numbuh 2.
"We may have to split up team." Numbuh 1 said, "We're going to have to find someone to speak to."
Suddenly a scream came from behind all of them, a shadow emerged into sight, as all 5 of the KND members screamed in horror, a little child wearing a short-sleeved button up shirt, dress pants, and a loose tie fell to the ground.
Once Sector V realized what laid in front of them, they raced towards the kid.
"Hey kid, are you alright?" Numbuh 5 asked as she held him in her arms.
"Please... Help. The city, tortured, brought down, loss of light. They've got us surrounded." Was all the kid said before he passed out.
"We've gotta get this kid to safety, and in a hurry." Numbuh 1 ordered
They took the kid back to the playground, where they placed him in the grass and kept him safe. The members of Sector V were in a shock, they did not know who this kid was, nor where they were.
"What do we do now?" Numbuh 3 asked
"I, I don't know." Numbuh 1 said, "We've done all we can for this child with no way of contacting Kids Next Door headquarters, no thanks to Mr. Frybingle who took all of our communicators for ringing in class."
"So, we're trapped?" Numbuh 4 asked
"As far as I know." Numbuh 1 answered
Suddenly they heard a ruckus, a commotion coming from the west. Something was happening and Sector V could not resist, they all sprinted towards the action, making their way through the giant grass. Once they made it passed the jungle like playground, they saw two kids battling a giant machine.
"You will never take us, Baxter." Said one of the kids as he fired a rocket made out of candy canes.
"HAHAHAHA, you two brats shall never defeat me. You are but the small brats, children who play stickball in the crowded streets, and have nap times during the school day. While us teenagers get paddled for not doing our homework, well no more of it. I will make sure that kids seize the day they revolted against the teenagers!" Yelled the one they called Baxter in retaliation.
As the other kid hit Baxter in the knee with a rock, he yelled and cried out in pain and when he looked up, he saw 5 more kids, only ones in color, and they looked extremely angry.
"What? There are more of you twits? But, how can this be? You have not seen the last of me, Kids Next Door!" And with that, Baxter ran off.
The other two kids, dressed in sweaters and dress pants turned around to see what Baxter was talking about, and low and behold, there stood 5 kids with expressions of anger and confusion written on their faces.
"Greetings," said one of the kids as they both approached Sector V. "I am Gregory, and this is my pal James."
"Hello to you," said Numbuh 1. "I am Nigel Uno, but you may call me Numbuh 1."
"Numbuh 1?" Asked Gregory, "You have codenames as well?"
"Yeeessss..." Numbuh 1 answered in question
"Oh gracious, you have came at a splendid time, I am Numbuh 1277." Said Gregory
"Numbuh 1277? But he was decommissioned over 50 years ago." Numbuh 1 spoke
"Excuse me?" Numbuh 1277 asked
"Wait a minute, why is everything so black and white? Where are we?" Numbuh 1 asked
"When are we?" Numbuh 5 asked
"Don't you kids know? You are in the year 1960, and in the city of Kidtropulous, once home to the greatest treehouse in the universe." Numbuh 1277 said.
"1960! What?!" Numbuh 4 yelled
"Does this mean that, that the merry go round is really..." Numbuh 2 said
"...A time machine." Numbuh 1 said
"What, that old hunk of junk back there? Oh yes, we have very much forgotten about it until recently when we sent it forward into the future to see if we could get aid from anyone in the future, and it looks like that was a success, wouldn't you say Numbuh 4200?" Numbuh 1277 said
"But what can we do?" Numbuh 3 asked
"You 5 could help us stop that crazy Baxter, he's a teenager that betrayed the Kids Next Door and begun his own corporation called "The Teenagers." He is a maniac, one that wishes to put an end to the Kids Next Door, forever." Numbuh 1277 told
"And I'm not going to stop anytime soon!" Said a voice from the sky as he fired a bottle rocket.
"It's Baxter! Look out!" Yelled Numbuh 1277 as all 7 of the kids ran away in different directions.
"Where are you going kiddies? Ole' Baxter just wants to play with you." Said Baxter as he had on a jet pack.
"Please, can you help us?" Numbuh 1277 yelled
"Watch this," said Numbuh 4 as he walked out into the open and rolled up his sleeves, looking to fight Baxter. "Hey Baxter, ya coward! I'd like to see ya fight like a real man, instead of a dirty teenager!"
Baxter then fired a bottle rocket at Numbuh 4, hitting him square in the chest, and sending him flying back to Numbuh 1277.
"What was that?" Numbuh 1277 asked
"I told ya I would take care of him." A dazed Numbuh 4 said
"Numbuh 2, do you have any of your 2x4 technology with you?" Numbuh 5 asked
"Just watch." A confident Numbuh 2 said as he pulled out a L.E.M.O.N.A.D.E. and turned the timer on and let it fly, throwing it right next to Baxter, but missing.
"HA, you missed you dumb, tubby little kid!" Baxter yelled
"DUCK!" Numbuh 2 yelled as all of the KND members hit the ground.
"Huh?" Baxter said as he looked back and saw the timer, "Oh geez louise" he said as the L.E.M.O.N.A.D.E. exploded, causing his face to go sour and his jet pack to die on him, sending him diving down to the ground.
"Curse you Kids Next Door, you may have won this battle, but the war has just begun! I will be back, I swear it!" Baxter said as he ran off once again.
"You kids did it! You actually defeated Baxter, and in a matter of seconds I might add." Numbuh 1277 stated, "We cannot thank you 5 enough. If there is anything, anything that we can do for you, just let us know, we are forever in your debt."
"Well..." Said Numbuh 1
"We will miss you all," said Numbuh 1277 as he held the kid from earlier in his hands, "Again thank you for all your help, including taking care of Numbuh 98 for us."
"No problem, if ya ever need another whoopin' come get us!" Numbuh 4 said as all of Sector V sat on the merry go round.
"Now, let us push you back to your home." Said Numbuh 1277 as he and Numbuh 4200 began to push the merry go round as fast as they could, and soon it stopped and Sector V was gone.
"What a nice bunch of kids," said Numbuh 1277, getting a nod in response from Numbuh 4200.
"5 kids, playing in a playground in the 21st century. Are suddenly sent back in time to fight a teenager who caused treason within a group called the Kids Next Door, and the once lost city of Kidtropulous has been saved, for now. Lesson learned by these kids, do not take for granted the gifts of playground rides, only in the Twi..." Said a man in a suit with bushy eyebrows and a cigarette in between his left index and middle fingers.
"An adult! Get him!" Yelled Numbuh 1277 as the three of them chased down the mysterious man.
Sector V then got off the merry go round and were grateful to see the sunshine and clouds, as well as hear the birds chirping as they saw that they were back in Gallagher Elementary's playground.
"Ah, finally." Numbuh 5 said
"It's good to be home." Numbuh 1 said
"Hey, where is everybody?" Numbuh 4 asked
As the 5 of them looked around and saw nobody but themselves, they begun to realize what was going on.
"We're late for class!" Numbuh 3 yelled
"Oh man, I can't be late, it would ruin my perfect attendance record!" Numbuh 2 yelled in a panic.
"Quick, inside!" Numbuh 1 ordered
All 5 of them ran in the doors and inside the building, they ran and ran until a voice stopped them.
"Hold it!" The voice rang. "Running in the halls are we?"
The 5 of them turned around to see the hall monitor, Numbuh 86, catching them.
"And I heard what you said earlier, Numbuh 4, about what Patton, I mean Numbuh 60 did that one day, and once school is over, I will kill ya!" She yelled in a fury of anger, getting a nervous gulp from Numbuh 4 in response.
