Me: Hello fanfictioners of KND. So, here's the seventh fanfic in the collection. It's another Ryck/Sally one-shot. As I said in the last chapter, the Ryck/Sally one-shots do follow each other. This means this one-shot ties in with The Future. So, lets get this show on the road.

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!! NOTHING!! If I did, KND would still be going on. Also, Chad (aka Numbuh 274) would never had become a villain.

Title: Don't Want to See You Hurt
Author: AnimeGirl 144


Sector V was always known to get the most difficult missions, and go up against some of the KND's worst villains like Father, Stickybeard, Knightbrace, Mr. Boss, and even Grandfather. Today's mission was not an exception. Kids Next Door Global Command issued Sector V their latest mission. Compared to all their previous missions they've recieved since Sally (Numbuh 3300) joined the team, this mission was much more challenging.

And boy was it ever.

Ryck Uno (Numbuh 1100 and grandson of the famous Numbuh 1 (Nigel Uno) and great-grandson of famous Numbuh 0 (Monty Uno)) found himself trying to keep his own against their adult enemies. Their mission looked simple. A man by the name of Ritz Ralitz and some of his red cybernetic ninjas had stolen the KND's cake recipie (which was actually the cake recipie that was stolen from the DCFDTL and modified to the KND's specifications) from Sector C. What they didn't account for was that Ritz had double barricated himself in his fortress with three lines of defense.

The first was the fort itself. That was an easy mission for Numbuh 2200 (Jonathan Gilligan) to get their S.C.A.M.P.E.R. into the fortress. The second line of defense was the red cybernetic ninjas which were what they were battling at this moment. Ryck held his S.C.A.M.P.P. in his hand and shot beams of light at the cybernetic ninjas, destroying them on the spot. Jonathan was shooting the cybernetic ninjas from the sky with his jet pack on his back. Last time he checked, Evert Beatles (Numbuh 4400) and Damion Lincoln (Numbuh 5500) were off on either sides trying to make a clear path to the inside of the fortress. He didn't know where Numbuh 3300 (Sally Sanban) was. Last time he saw her she was standing beside him, then the next, she was gone.

Biting his lip and wondering (really worrying) about where Sally was, Ryck decided to try and head into the building itself. After conveying the plan to the other boys of his team, he and the boys preformed the mission as explained by Ryck. With the distraction in place, Ryck made his way to the heart of the fortress with little fighting. He felt his heart jump into his throat when he saw that one of the giant oak double doors was opened just a bit. Speeding up, and hoping to the heavens that Sally was okay, the leader of Sector V shot into the fortess interior and ran past the elegant paintings and sculptures that lined the walls.

"Numbuh 3300? Numbuh 3300?" Ryck called into his wrist communicator. When she didn't answer him, he tried something different. "Sally? Sally, can you hear me? Sally!"

"Looking for your little friend?"

Ryck stopped in his place and looked up the double grand staircase to see what he presumed to be Ritz in red armor that looked like something about of the movie Tron. What made Ryck's eyes widened was that Sally's body laid under one of Ritz's armpits. Ritz's toothy smirk grew a little more.

"If you want her back, here, take her," he said, throwing the unconsious KND operative at Ryck, who quickly jumped into action.

As Sally flew over the stairs, Ryck was trying to do the math in his mind and figure out where she'd land. He did his math correctly, and caught her in his arms. He grunted a little as he bent his knees, almost falling to the ground, but he straightened his legs and looked at his unconsious teammate. She didn't seemed to be too damaged, just a few cuts and bruises.

"Now then, little boy," Ritz said from the top, making Ryck look up at him. "I assume you are here to challenge me?"

Ryck placed Sally on the ground next to him carefully before looking up at Ritz with the legendary Uno glare.

"I am Numbuh 1100, here on KND business to retrieve our stolen cake recipie, which you stole," Ryck said.

Ritz sighed, "Yes. I know that. Now, are you my challenge or not?"

"I am."

"Good. If you can beat me, you will get your recipie back," Ritz said, walking down the grand stairs with his hands behind his back. "But you have to beat me."

"Oh trust me, I will," Ryck said with confidence in his voice.

"Oh, you think so?" Ritz asked. "Well, we'll just have to see."

Then, before Ryck's eyes, Ritz launched himself off the stairs and at Ryck with a small hand gun that looked like a icing tube pointed straight at the KND operative.

"Oh shoot!" Ryck said, grabbing for his G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. to protect himself.

His natural instincts kicked in, and he did a backflip, away from Ritz's shot (the adult's tube gun shot laser beams). When Ryck got into a kneeling stance, he shot back at Ritz who dodged and shot back. The two continually played cat-and-mouse, both shooting and then dodging, none really laying a hit. Ritz was getting very annoyed with the little game, and so he took out a small device and pushed the only button on it. Four doors opened from the walls, and four red cybernetic ninjas shot out, all surrounding Ryck.

"Oh great," Ryck said under his breath.

As one of the ninjas jumped to attack him, Ryck turned and shot at its stomach and then its head and then its neck. It fell to the ground with electricity sparking out of it. He did this to two more ninjas before the fourth and last ninja lunged at him and was able to strike him on his arm, cutting it open and blood began to come out of the open wound. Ryck destroyed that too. He then turned his sights back on Ritz who was running up the middle stairs before turning onto the left set of stairs.

"Oh no you don't!" Ryck said, running after the adult. "Get back here you coward!!"

Ryck gained on Ritz fast, and jumped the adult, making him fall to the ground. The two wrestled for a while before the evil adult's head hit the wall, knocking him out. Ryck sat up, looking at his unconsious enemy.

"Well, that was easy," he said to himself. "Now to find that recipie."

He began to search the adult's body and found the recipie in one of his pockets. Grabbing it in triumph, Ryck headed back down to the grand staircase, where Sally was just beginning to regain consiousness. Ryck practically flew down the steps as he ran to her side and helped her sit up.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" he asked gently.

"A little. Got a headache though," she answered, her voice just a little slurred. Her eyes then shot open as she remembered something important. "Ritz! He's got the recipie!"

"No he doesn't," Ryck said with a smirk, holding out a small piece of paper. "I've got it."

Sally's eyes brightened as she leaned closer to him.

"Oh Ryck! You're amazing!" she complemented.

Ryck blushed a little and swiped his thumb under his nose.

"It was no big deal. Actually easy too; he was such a coward," Ryck said.

"Oh Ryck, you're bleeding," Sally gasped, looking at his open wound.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. Guess I am," he said, looking at it absent-mindedly. "Doesn't really matter. You're not hurt though, right?" he asked, looking at her with concerned eyes. Because I swear if he did, I'll...

"No, I'm not hurt," she said, still looking at the wound. "Come here, I'll bandage the wound until we get back to the treehouse."

"You really don't have to," he insisted. "I'm fine."

Sally "pfft"ed and rummaged through her bag till she found a bandage wrap. She then grabbed his arm and began to wrap the wound, making sure to be gentle. Ryck watched her in silence, a little impressed by her medical skills. When she was finished she sat back with a satisfied sigh as she placed her medical wraps into her bag.

"There, that should do it till we get back," she said.

"Thanks," he said. "You didn't really have to do it. I'm perfectly fine."

"Yeah yeah yeah," Sally said with a roll of her eyes.

"I'm just glad you're okay," Ryck said, looking at her. "I don't want to see you hurt." Ever.

Sally blushed at his statement, and lowered her head just to hide the blush. Ryck also blushed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Erhm, come on. Let's get back to the others. Hopefully they've finished off the rest of Ritz's defenses," Ryck said, getting to his feet quickly and holding out a hand for Sally. Sally smiled a small smile and took his hand, allowing him to help her up.

The two of them headed out of the fortress to the outer area where the team was waiting for them, a heap of broken and destroyed machines were laying. The team greeted the two enthusiastically, and were even more happy to see the recipie. With the mission complete, the kids piled into the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and headed off to Moonbase to deliever the goods.

Ryck settled into a his seat and breifly looked over at Sally. She looked up at him, and sent him a small smile that made him smile back at her before his attention returned to the screen. Overall, it was a good mission, because she came out of it with barely an injury on her.

She didn't get too hurt, he thought, reminding him that Sally did have some cuts but they'd heal in matter of minutes or hours. She made it out of the mission proficiently.

I'm glad, he thought with his smile growing even bigger.


Me: Alrighty folks, another couple done. This was a little hard to write, but I hope you all liked it. Sorry if the ending sucked or if it felt rushed, but I wasn't focusing too much on the fighting scenes. I was just trying to get to Ryck/Sally. The next couple I may do will be a Numbuh 86/Numbuh 19th-Century.

Continue to send me in couples you want to see in this collection, and if I can, I will make them appear in here. Till then, this has been AnimeGirl 144.
