Chapter 7: Melting Gold
The blonde Australian wearing Teen Ninja's armour was trapped in the black haired, faired skinned boy with the black gloves beam. The Golden Numbuh controlled his movements. Phi was only using his left hand to do so and the other one was looking for its next victim. The Asian girl was the nearest but Phi knew that she wasn't worth it, he needed to concentrate on a more obvious threat, the Red-haired Irish girl charging towards him was the obvious choice. Phidias raised his right hand and pointed his fingers in her direction and a beam of spiralling gold energy emerged out of them and trapped her in it. Now he had 2 of the Teen Ninjas under his control, and the looks the others signified he had captured a few important members.
"Wally! Fanny!" Shouted the African American girl. Wait, Wally? Fanny? That voice…
"So it seems the prodigy Abigail Lincoln has followed her sister's steps and became a traitor. " Phi said. "Now, you will stop following me or I'll snap your friends like sticks, and if your memory is intact, you must remember very well that I never break a promise" His infant voice didn't help him threat the teenagers but both Rachel and Abby knew that Phi will do it. To reinforce his threat Phi made his captives; using a series of hand twitches, crash to the ground in a handcuffed position, their backs twisted so that their chests' looked upwards. Wally and Fanny groaned in pain.
"Wally!" Kuki shouted seeing her friend like that.
"I am tired of you persecuting me! You have been following for days, but I wont let you get your hands on them" Phi shouted.
"Look! We need to take you" Rachel said, she couldn't just give the reasons because telling a KND operative about the TND was against the rules. But now, she was closer and closer of doing so. She just needed Phi to let go of Wally and Fanny so that she could use the little sphere Infinity gave her to trap him.
"And I said no!" Phi got really angry. He had had enough. He used the G.L.O.V.E.S to strengthen his grip on Fanny and Wally to deliver a final blow. He will not tolerate them trying to capture him any longer. It would be as easy as crushing a soda can. What he didn't expect was the black haired Asian teen ran towards him with such rage and velocity that he was lunged backwards so hard that made him loose his grip on Wally and Fanny, who both let out a long gasp when released.
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO MY FRIENDS AGAIN!" Screamed Kuki with such anger that even the cold hearted Phidias Ohm felt a sensation of primal fear running through his back as he was getting on his feet again ready to finish what he started.
It seemed he needed to get rid of all the teens at the same time for him to escape. He pointed both of his hands to Kuki lunching a golden spiralling beam but the Australian kid jumped in front of it to be captured once again to protect his friend. No! Phi thought. He had made the mistake of lunching both of the beams at a single target whilst more hostiles approached. Now the four female teens were circling him while he held captive their fiend. He had to make the most of it. Using Numbuh 4 as a hammer, he threw him towards the closest of the teen pack; the blonde girl.
Rachel received about 70 kilograms of weight in the form of Numbuh 4 at about 15 kilometres an hour. She was unable to throw the golden sphere Infinity gave her. Abby threw herself on top of Phi to try to subject him. Phi responded quickly capturing her in a beam and throwing her towards the Irish girl. Fanny evaded Phi's human projectile and drew out a Teen Ninja modified laser gun. She managed to get a few shots but Phi evaded them all with the agility of a caffeine-injected hamster. Phi captured the Irish girl in one of his beams and got ready for the obvious attack by the Asian girl to his right, which he also captured as soon as she charged towards him.
"Is this really all you've go?" Phi asked out of adrenaline. "I've faced bigger challenges fighting mutant Rainbow Monkeys"
A little golden sphere rolled between Phi's legs.
"Nope." Rachel said getting on her feet after having thrown the sphere. "They were just distracting you so that I could do that."
It took a second for Phidias to process what had happened. He knew it was already too late but he still did it. In a matter of 2 seconds he let go of Fanny and Kuki and ran as fast as he could but as knew already: it was too late.
From the little sphere, a golden explosion of light surrounded Phidias Ohm. After Rachel's eyes got used to the brightness she saw Phidias being manipulated into a handcuffed position by a golden spiralling beam coming from the sphere.
"You attack me with my own creations!" Phidias shouted as he was trying to fight an impossible battle. "What has the Kids Next Door fallen to? Traitors giving the enemy our 2x4 technology?" He managed to say that before being subjected entirely by the sphere. The position he had was awkward: both of his hands were behind his back being forced to hold the golden sphere which still emitted the golden field that held Phidias' hands together, unable to move them. He tried to run but his own device betrayed him making him trip and fall.
"Well, I guess… mission complete guys huh?" Said Rachel to her beaten up team. She received a series of groans and owes as an answer.
"Excellent job team!" Said a voice that didn't belong to any of the 5 TND or the fallen KND operatives. Infinity appeared out of no-where clapping slowly his hands. "Now, if you excuse me, I must take this traitor back to the moon base for immediate decommissioning."
"Decommissioning?!" Phi exclaimed. "What… " He thought for a second "YOU FOOLS!" He shouted.
"YOU'VE DOOMED AS ALL! THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK! HE ISN'T WHO YOU THINK!" He screamed.
"Oh, rouge agents… They're always the same" Said Infinity approaching Phi.
"You must've been given a KND REPORT. PAGE 39! READ PAGE 39!" Phi shouted desperately.
"Oh shut up you." Infinity said pressing a button on his watching which shut Phi's. The team looked the scene in confusion. "Now, the night is still young and you might have time to catch Cree's party. After saying that he put his finger in his nose and a layer of boggers surrounded him and Phi in a matter of seconds and they were gone.
"Welp, that was weird. But Numbuh 5 is going to get ready, again, for her sister's birthday." Everyone agreed.
"What did he mean by page 39?" Asked Kuki.
"Beats me" Answered Wally.
Each one of them went to their respective homes. Rachel McKenzie was getting ready for Cree Lincoln's 18th birthday party. She was just getting out of the shower when curiosity finally got the best of her. She changed into a bathroom coat, got the KND REPORT: PHI and turned to page 39.
Page 39? What could possibly be in it? You will find out in the next chapter of Golden Ratio!
