"That's a member of my sector in there Numbuh 362! I'm not just going to sit here and wait for something to happen to her!" Nigel announced.

"I know Numbuh 1! I've sent for an immediate rescue mission." Rachael confirmed, trying to calm him down.

"How fast can they get there?"

"They said 30 minutes tops, Sector T always stick to their time curfews." She assured him.

Kuki quietly sobbed. Her face was red and her cheeks slightly bruised. In the corner, a scary man dressed as a knight sat up in his chair.

"Oi! Unless you want another belting, I'd keep it down!" He threatened her, raising up his hand in a threatening motion.

She held back her tears in fear and closed her eyes. Pretending that she wasn't there and that it was just all a bad dream.

Another dark figure entered the room, Kuki looked up and gasped.

"C…Cree?"

"Ugh, please don't make it obvious you know me, you'll cramp my style." Cree scowled. Then gave a wicked grin. "Uncomfortable? Good! You haven't reached the worst of it yet, just wait till Miles gets started with you."

She was about to say something when a loud alarm rang. Cree jumped in surprise then ran out of the door.

"Keep an eye on her!" She told Miles, who nodded.

It went silent for a while, until the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Kuki silently prayed that it wasn't Cree again, Cree always scared her, even when they were both members of the KND. Then, Kuki realized that they were two sets of footprints, two different people. Then she heard voices.

"Wow, I'd love my room like this, it's awesome!" A girl's voice said.

"Man, why do you always have to be so creepy? This place is dark and pretty disturbing to look at." A male voice replied.

"I'm an emo, and a pretty disturbed girl."

"Yeah, you're telling me!"

They were kids. Miles stood up and stood beside the doorway, so not to be seen. He picked up a wooden club with nailed in spikes and held it up in the air, waiting for them.

"Look out!" Kuki yelled as a girl with short, backcombed, black hair and red highlights came into sight. She dodged out of the way as Miles lunged down with the club. A blonde boy came running in afterwards and tackled the knight to the floor.

Kuki's eyes widened in both shock and happiness. It was Wally!

He hadn't yet noticed her, sitting on Miles' neck, he picked up a rock and whacked it against Miles' helmet. Knocking him out.

He sighed with annoyance and looked over to his companion.

"Good job." She said with a smile.

"Great dodge, not many people could manage that." He laughed as the girl blushed.

Wally stood up and brushed himself down.

"Are you okay?" The girl asked, turning to Kuki. Wally glanced up at her as she said this and stopped brushing in shock. His green eyes went so wide, Kuki thought that they would pop out of his head. Kuki nodded at the girl and then looked back at Wally with a shy smile.

"K…Kuki? Is that really you?" He stuttered. Kuki just smiled again.

He ran right over to her and beamed. After a few seconds, his face fell to a look of concern. Shivers went down Kuki's spine as Wally's hand reached up and his fingers traced the bruises on her face.

"What did they do to you?" He whispered softly.

"Can we talk about it after? Hanging to a wall by your wrist is even more uncomfortable than it looks." She said with a smile.

"Oh! Sorry!" Wally said, looking around the room for some sort of key to unlock the shackles around Kuki's wrists.

"He's got them!" The other girl pointed out, unhooking a golden key from his belt.

"How'd you know it's that key?" Wally asked as she gave it to him.

"It's the only one doofus! It must be a skeleton key!" The girl replied.

"It'll open more or less anything here." She added, noting Wally's blank expression.

"Oh, Thanks Numbuh 94." Wally put the key in the lock and turned it. He then did it for the other one and caught Kuki as she fell.

She steadied herself on the ground and then hugged him tightly.

"It's so good to see you!" She exclaimed.

"It's great to see you too Kooks! But right now, let's get out of here!" He said, pulling away from the hug and tugging her arm. They ran towards the archway of a door, Numbuh 94 ran through but Wally and Kuki were stopped as large, cage-like metal bars fell down in the archway. Blocking them in.

"Go get help!" Wally told Numbuh 94. She nodded and ran out. Wally and Kuki turned to see Miles stood against the wall with his hand on a large red button.

"And just where do you kids think you're going? It's past your bedtime!" He said in a sarcastic tone.

Wally protectively stood in front of Kuki in a fighting stance.

"Oh, come on! I'm really not in the mood for silly games." The knight groaned.

"Right!...Okay…call the rest of your sector and bring them to moonbase…Thanks Numbuh 94." Rachael turned off her transmission and turned to Numbuh 1.

"The rescue mission failed." She informed him.

"What next?" He asked.

"Get your team ready. We're going in!" She replied with a smile.

Nigel mimicked her grin and saluted.

Both being held by the collars of their clothes, Kuki and Wally were thrown into a small cell. Kuki landed with a thud, followed by Wally, who fell on her stomach.

"Night Kiddies! Sleep tight!" The knight mocked them. Closing the cell door with a slam and turning a key in the lock.

"Cruddy villain!" Wally scowled, picking himself up from Kuki and sitting next to her as he brushed himself down.

"Did I hurt ya?"

"No, I'm okay." Kuki replied.

"Well, at least the floor's pretty padded with this hay." Wally chuckled picking up a strand of straw which lay on the cold floor.

Kuki giggled back at him. A moment of awkward silence followed.

"I'm guessing he's an English villain." Kuki said, nodding towards the knight, who was glaring at them from his chair.

"Na, Medieval Miles terrorizes Australia." Wally replied.

"Medieval Miles?" Kuki said, muffling a giggle.

"Yeah, cruddy name or what?" Wally smiled, then put on a serious face. "Seriously though Kooks, he's one of the worst villains around. You think Count Spankulot's mean? Na, he makes Count Spankulot seem like Santa claus. Whatever you do, don't try to irritate him."

Kuki listened to Wally's warning, and then smirked.

"Who are you and what have you done to Numbuh 4?" She said.

"What?"

"The Numbuh 4 I know would do anything just to irritate anybody, especially a villain." Kuki laughed. Wally smiled at her.

"And you must have been drinking more milk, you're way taller than I remember you! *I remember you only reaching my shoulders."

Kuki placed a hand by her shoulder, as if measuring him. Then examined how he was now a similar size to her.

"Yeah, well…I had a growth spurt!" Wally laughed. "You were always mean to me about my size."

Kuki laughed.

"So? You always made fun of me, period!"

"I did not!":

"Did so!"

"Did not!"

With that, Wally brought his hands to Kuki's waist, tickling her. She screamed with laughter.

"Hey! Quiet down over there!" Medieval Miles yelled over to them. They had woken him up and he wasn't happy. He stood up and made his way over.

Wally stood up and stood in front of Kuki.

"Back of metal head!" He threatened.

"Don't you ever learn? I don't appreciate you calling me that!" The knight grabbed Wally's arm so hard, Wally winced in pain. Kuki called as Wally was dragged out of the cell….
