6 Days Later...

Day 12 (70 hours left)
"Why has it been so boring lately?" Numbuh 3 asked.
They were all sitting on the couches in front of the monitor.
"Well, our most recent villains are now on our side, apparently." Numbuh 1 said, looking at John. As did the others.
John grinned. "Well, I'm gonna take off." he said, standing up. "There's a girl I gotta go see. I wouldn't expect you guys to understand."
"Why wouldn't we understand?" asked Numbuh 5.
"You're 10." John answered.
"So are you." Numbuh 5 said.
"Yes, but I was a teenager for a while so I've had experience."
"Fine, you can go." Numbuh 1 said. "Just don't go rogue again."
"Don't betray me again." John said, then left.

65 hours left.

"Hey." John said, entering the prison room.
"Hey." Cree said. "I was wonderin' when you'd show up."
The guard closed the door behind John, who sat down next to Cree.
"So, what's new?" Cree asked. "Anything?"
"Nope." John answered. "The last action they'd seen is when they were hunting us."
"How have they reacted to the fact that I'll be rejoining their team?"
"They're a little..." John said. "you know. Numbuh 5 is actually a little happy as far as I can tell."
"I'm just a little nervous, I guess."
"You?" John asked. "Nervous?"
"It is pretty weird, isn't it?" she asked.
"Well, you won't have to worry." John said. "I'll be there for you."
Cree smiled. "I know you will. You always have been."
"Hey, John." the guard said, opening the cell door. "Sector V needs you right away! It's an emergency!"
"Gotta go." John said. "You've got 64 hours left."

The Treehouse came into view and John saw a giant robot attacking Sector V. He landed the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. outside the Treehouse and looked out the window. Sector V was using B.O.T.T.L.E.C.A.P.s (Big Old Totally Tremendous Launcher Emits Cola And Pop) against the Delightful Children From Down The Lane's massive Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine (R.R.I.D.M.).
"You've got to be kidding." John said, and grabbed the B.L.A.Z.E.R. (Bazooka Lazer Artillery Zaps Enemy Rivals) and went to help.
Numbuh 1 fired at the large machine. The R.R.I.D.M. tried to grab him but he dodged to the side.
"This isn't goin' well!" Numbuh 5 said.
The R.R.I.D.M. slammed the ground, causing a shock wave that knocked the Kids to the ground. Then it swooped its claw down and grabbed them all. The Delightful Children brought the claw up to the cockpit.
"We have you now, Kids Next Door." they said. Then they counted. "Wait. One's missing. Where's Numbuh 187?"
"Right here." John said, raising the B.L.A.Z.E.R..
"Oh, crud." the Delightful Children said together.
John fired the B.L.A.Z.E.R., knocking the robot down. It released its grip on Sector V and got up. Sparks were flying everywhere from the damaged areas.
"This isn't over, Numbuh 187." the Delightful Children said. "We won't stop until we get rid of you."
"Well, that's gonna have to wait." he said, waving the B.L.A.Z.E.R. in front of him. "I'm gonna give you delightful freaks to the count of 3 before I fire again."
The Children let out a soft growl. "This isn't over!" they said, turning the robot around and leaving.
"What took ya so long?" Numbuh 5 asked.
"Besides the fact I came from the moon?" John asked. "I got here as fast as I could. Looks like just in time, too."
"What weapon is that?" Numbuh 4 asked.
"I think it was something called a B.L.A.Z.E.R.."
"The B.L.A.Z.E.R.?" asked Numbuh 2. "That 2x4 Tech is just a prototype. I haven't even tested it yet."
"Well, it works." said John. "It works very well. In fact, it works so well, why don't you make one for each member of the team 'cause these T.H.U.M.P.E.R.s and B.O.T.T.L.E.C.A.P.s just aren't working."
"Are you kidding?" Numbuh 2 asked. "It took me weeks just to make that one. There's only one of me, after all."
"Well, in 2 days we'll have one more." said John.
"You mean..." Numbuh 2 said. "Cree?"
"That would make things go a little faster." Numbuh 1 said. "How does she seem, John?"
"What do you mean?"
"Does she seem mad, happy, what?"
"She's actually a little nervous."
"Cree?" Numbuh 5 asked. "Nervous?"
"Yeah, I don't know." said John. "I thought it was weird, too."
"Then it's settled." said Numbuh 1. "When Cree returns, she's to continue doing her work on 2x4 Tech like she used to."
