"Four minutes till landing."

"Good, Numbuh Two. Once we get on this island, I want us to observe our surroundings closely. There is no knowing what these kidnapping master minds are up too." the British leader said pacing back and forth thinking.

Numbuh Two nodded his head, "Yeah! Who knows what can be lurking on this island?! Hey I know! Killer robots with attachable heads and gigantic plastic arms that can squirt out grits!!!"

Underneath Nigel's sunglasses he rolled his eyes, and then turned a sharp gaze over to Numbuh Five, who was looking out of the window. He approached her quietly, "Numbuh Five?"

She jumped to his voice as she spun around, "Y-yes?" she asked. She almost looked like she was hiding something from him. He grew curious as he raised an eyebrow, " You, feeling alright?"

Numbuh Five nodded shyly. 'Hhhmmm' the boy thought. "Well, okay Numbuh Five. Just wanted to make sure that one of my operatives was in good condition." Numbuh One said giving her a smile, as she turned around blushing, resuming to looking out the large window.

~*~

The doors opened as the five children stepped out of the hovercraft.

Numbuh 3's eyes lit up. This place was heaven to her. Azure blue skys. Purple mountains. Crystal clear waterfalls. Tall green grass. It reminded her of the unsettled west. "This place..." she began, "Is beautifull! Looky at the rainbow!" she said pointing off into the distance.

With a grin on his face, Numbuh Four crossed his arms,"Great! This island just HAD to have rainbows!"

"It is...pretty." Numbuh Two admitted.

"Well, I-I...." Nigel said looking around,"This dosen't look like a terrible place afterall. But still, where could the children be?"

"Look ovah there!" Wallabee pointed on to a nearby mountain. On top of that mountain seemed to be a palace.

"Yeah!! Thats where they are hiding those killer robots with attachable heads and gigantic plastic arms that can squirt out grits!" the round said about to run off towards the big mountain.

'Whatta imagination.' Numbuh Five thought, rolling her eyes.

"Okay team, lets climb that mountain!" Numbuh One said handing everybody a backpack.

~*~

"Numbah Three would you please hurry up?" Numbuh Four said looking down at her.

"I'm commin'!" She said smiling taking one hand and placing it on a rock as she pulled the rest of her body up a step higher.

"Uh oh." the Aussie said looking around him.

"What?" Kuki asked climbing another rock.

"We really need to hurry it up and catch on with the others.." he said looking on. Suddenly, he heard a scream. Catching his attention, he looked down seeing Numbuh Three dangling from a rock.

Thinking quickly Numbuh Four grabbed her hands with his. "Hold....on....Numbah...Three..." he said trying to pull her up.

"Don't let go, okay?!" Numbuh Three said worriedly. She felt like she was going to fall any minute now. She looked down below her and saw the sharp rocks just waiting for her to land upon them. Kuki shut her eyes and begin to cry still holding on to Numbuh Four.

"Don't....worry...Ah'm, not...gonna...let..you--" he began, feeling the wind jerk Kuki away from him, as he grabbed on tighter and yanked her up to the surface, "Go!" he said finishing his sentence, leaving Kuki landing on top of his body.

Thankfull that she was alive, she embraced the blushing Aussie, "Oh thank- you! Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!"

He smiled. Just happy to feel her warmth and love. He wraped his arms around her too, also thankfull that she didn't fall.

"'Ey! You two gonna make out or what?!" Numbuh Five said, lurking around the mountain side.

"Uh...uh..." Numbuh Four stumbled with his words.

Numbuh Three smiled, "Hi Numbuh Five!" she waved happily.

~*~

"Wow, I wish I could save chicks and kick the wicked evil out of a mountain's ass." Numbuh Two said looking at the blonde in suprise.

"Numbuh Two! Watch your language!" Numbuh One caught on quick to Hoagie's words.

"Thats right. Numbuh Four's my hero!" Three said babytalking, rubbing her cheek up against Four's, hugging him. He blushed.

"I'm gonna be a super hero one day! And fight crime! And fly-and and-- WOOSH!" Hoagie said standing up.

"Pbbht. You wish." Numbuh Five said leaning up against a rock.

Numbuh One couldn't help to chuckle.

"Hey Numbuh Five! Don't crash my dreams OKAY?" Numbuh Two argued.

"Whatevah you say Numbuh Two, whatevah you say."

"Great! Now that that is settled, can we continue?" Nigel asked.

"Ain't no problem 'ere." Wallabe smiled.

~*~

Finally, reaching the castle and having to deal with Numbuh Two's killer robots with attachable heads and gigantic plastic arms that can squirt out grits theory, the gang arrive safely at the palace.

"Aaaaaallllllllrrrrrriiiiiiigggghhhhttttttt..." said Numbuh Two, "Now what?" he asked taking a glance at the leader.

"Look! An underground entrance to a dungeon! Lets go free those kids!" Nigel said pointing.

Cautiously, Numbuh Five opened the dugeon gate.

"Heeellooo? Is anybody in here?" Numbuh Three said walking down the steps. "Hey! An echo!" Numbuh Three giggled.

"Look!" Numbuh Four pointed to a nearby cell, filled with at least eight kids.

Numbuh One rushed over.

"Dude..." one of the kids in the cell began the talk.

"What..? What have they done to you?" Numbuh One questioned grabbing a hold of one of the bars.

"Dude....get outta here...they'll-they'll-DUDE! Just go! Don't sacrafice yourself dude!" the kid said grabbing a hold of Numbuh One's collar, shaking him.

"Don't worry. We'll get you out of here." Numbuh One was forced to put on a smile, and then looked over his shoulder to Numbuh Five, "Numbuh Five! Hair clip!"

Numbuh Five nodded placing a hair clip into the lock and turned it around. She licked her lips, as she patiently moved around. After hearing the 'click' of the lock, she opened the gate and freed some kids.

~*~

Getting to the last cell, Numbuh Five set the kids free as one stood in the doorway of the cell when an alarm sounded off.

"Ah didn't even know that palaces 'ad cruddy alarms!" Numbuh Four said covering his ears.

"They do now!" Numbuh Three covered her ears as well, as the room flashed a red color, when the building started to shake.
