They ran down the hall. Coming out into the arena corridor.
"Where to?" Hoagie gasped.

Wally looked around frantically. Their question was soon answered when they heard Kuki's scream of fear coming from Ernie's office. Without thought, the two raced into Ernie's office and through the secret door. Into the room where Kuki was being strapped onto the seat of the fear extractor by Shaun while Alfie was crouched next to her. Ernie was stood in the corner, watching silently.

"We can do this two ways...you're kind of pretty, we could keep you down here, as a good luck charm...you could be like my little secret." Alfie said softly, placing his index finger under her chin. She pulled away glaring at him. Alfie frowned.
"Or...we hook you onto the fear extractor, then deport you off to Pluto."

Kuki stared at him with eyes of stone.
Alfie stood upright and looked down at her. "Well...?"
Kuki looked away, remaining silent. Alfie snarled. "Fine!"

He clicked his finger and Shaun flicked the fear extractor switch, turning it on.
Kuki looked at it with fear as Alfie brought the mask closer to her face. She screamed, her scream was soon muffled as the mask was attached to her face.
Alfie cackled and took a step back to watch the process. Only to get a thump in the jaw, he turned to see a very angry Wally.
Shaun gasped. "Not again!" He exclaimed as he watched Wally push Alfie to the floor, glaring ta him menacingly.

"Wally!" Kuki squeaked from behind the mask. He turned and saw her, then rushed to take the mask from her face.

"Beatles!" Ernie exclaimed. Wally pulled the machine from it's socket throwing in Ernie's direction, pinning him against the wall.

"Come on Kuki." Wally said, unstrapping Kuki and grabbing her hand and trying to pull her up. But she'd had so much of her voice sucked out, she was weak, to the extend where her legs were too weak to hold her up.

"Don't just stand there! Get them!" Ernie yelled to Shaun and Alfie.

Wally took at quick glance at Hoagie, who was stood by the corridor leading to Ernie's office, motioning for Wally to hurry up. Wally turned and picked Kuki up gently, then ran in Hoagie's direction, dodging Shaun and Alfie in the process.

They ran out of the secret room, out of Ernie's office and just carried on running.
"Where are we going?" Wally gasped.

Hoagie stared at the map. "It says here that the entrance to the ship parking lot is behind reception."
They ran into the reception area to be greeted by Jimmy.

"Hey guys, what's going on?..." He smiled, then gave a look of confusion when he noticed Kuki in Wally's arms. "What's a girl doing in here? mr Beatles! You're...touching her!"

"I'm kind of busy right now!" Wally replied as he continued to run behind the reception desk.

"Mr Beatles? What are you doing? What's going on?" Jimmy asked in confusion as Hoagie and Wally pushed aside file cabinets and cupboards.

Hoagie turned and looked at him frantically. "Jimmy, do you know where the door is here?"

Hoagie tried to push a file cabinet out of the way, but it wouldn't budge.
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. "the one to the ships? Sure, I am the valet...?"

Wally and Hoagie looked at each other with sudden reflection.
"...Of course!" Hoagie exclaimed.

"Jimmy where is it?" Wally demanded.

Jimmy tilted his head. "You want me to go and get your ship and meet you at the exit bay?"

"No! Just let us in Jimmy!" Wally yelled.

Jimmy jumped. "Okay, okay!"

He walked over to the file cabinet that Hoagie was struggling to move, he took the handle and opened it, showing a staircase.

"Thank you!" Wally exclaimed, beaming at Jimmy. "Thanks man!"

"Quick Numbuh 4, they're coming!" Hoagie shouted, running down the stairway. Wally followed.

Jimmy looked up to see Alfie running down the corridor, Ernie running behind him.
He thought quickly, then closed the door of the cabinet and pushed one of the cabinets that Wally had pulled out in front of it, blocking the door.

"Jimmy! Are they down there?" Ernie snapped.

Jimmy shrugged. "No sir! I just tripped over and knocked this cabinet."

"You idiot I just saw them! Pick this thing up!" Alfie snarled, he tried to pick up the cabinet but Jimmy held it down.

"I'm sorry Mr Thomas! I just knocked it over, I'll get Shaun to come and help me get it up! I don't want you to strain your back for the arena!" Jimmy stated.

"You Idiot! Just move out the way!" Alfie yelled.

-Meanwhile-

"Where is it?" Wally gasped as he panted frantically. Despite her petite figure, Kuki was getting pretty heavy as he was getting worn out.

"There!" Hoagie yelled.

They ran to the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. And Hoagie opened the door, running in and sitting at the controls. Wally rushed in after him, placing Kuki gently into Nigel's chair.
Hoagie pressed some buttons, the engine started and the doors closed.

"Are you okay?" He panted.

Kuki nodded and smiled. "Yeah."

They felt themselves lifting from the ground.
"Hold on tight!" Hoagie yelled. "We're going to the exit bay!"

Wally perched on the arm of the chair and tucked a strand of Kuki's hair behind her ear.
She giggled and pulled him by the collar towards her. He gagged.

"Hey!" He smirked.

"Now you know how I felt!" Kuki giggled. Wally smiled and they both leant in to kiss.

"Whoa!" Hoagie yelled, making the two jump and look to see what was wrong.

Alfie had ran into the exit bay and Hoagie had missed him by inches as he sped out of the door.
"Phew that was close!" Hoagie chuckled, wiping his forehead. "Lady and gentleman, we have just left the bully arena, and I highly doubt we'll be going back any time soon! We should be arriving back at the tree house in...about 300 light years or so. Please sit back and enjoy the flight...and please no making out on my plane...It's gross!"

Wally and Kuki smiled at one another, Kuki pulled Wally so that he slipped into the chair next to her, she then snuggled up to him. They suddenly felt a bump.

"What was that?" Wally asked, sitting up.

Hoagie shrugged. "I don't know, I think we've got something stuck on our wing, will you check it out?"

Wally stood up and walked to the door, opening it and peeking out. He saw nothing.

"Wally!" He heard Kuki's shout of worry.

He turned to see what was wrong. He suddenly felt a hard punch on his nose. Wally heard Kuki's screech as he fell back, out of the plane.

"Numbuh 4!" Hoagie yelled.

Wally grabbed the edge of the plane as he fell. His hands on the soft carpet of the C.O.O.L.B.U.S.
He heard Alfie's chuckle.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that Beatles!" Alfie cackled.

Hoagie shouted to him. "Numbuh 4! I can't do anything or we'll crash land!"

"Look at everyone's favourite bully now! You stupid, pathetic sap!" Alfie sneered, stepping on one of Wally's hands, making him let go of the side.

Alfie chuckled and knelt down. "Ever wanted to be an astronaut Beatles? Well you're about to go flying through space!...Don't worry, I'll take good care of Numbuh 3 and your fat friend!"

He brought up a fist to bring it down onto Wally's remaining hand.
Alfie was suddenly dragged back by Kuki, she yelled abuse at him as she attacked him. Throwing him to the floor and diving on him, punching him.
Wally managed to pull himself back up and chuckled as he watched Kuki beating the crud out of Alfie.

He rushed in as Alfie threw Kuki from him. Wally grabbed him and pulled him up, forcing his arms behind his back.
He looked over at Kuki and smiled. "Well she's not scared of you! Looks like you're out of the job!"

Hoagie chuckled as he glanced over.
"What're we gonna do with him Numbuh 4?"

"Ever wanted to be an astronaut Alfie?" Wally mocked.

"No! No!" Alfie pleaded as Wally dragged him to the open door of the plane.

"Wally!" Kuki exclaimed as Wally was about to drop him. He looked into her eyes. They were fearful, begging him not to drop her.
Wally sighed, sometimes Kuki's kind heartedness was so hard to deal with. "Close the door Numbuh 2!"

The door closed and Wally glared at Kuki. "What do you suggest we do with him then?"

Kuki shrugged.

Wally rolled his eyes. He led Alfie to the weapons cupboard. Gripping Alfie with one hand, he used the other to open the cupboard and pull out it's contents. He then shoved Alfie into it and closed the door.

"Kuki, give me that jacket." he ordered.

Kuki did so, Wally placed the jacket through the two handles of the cupboard and tied it into a tight knot. Alfie banged on the door, trying to get out. Wally frowned and thumped on the door. "Shut up!"

"Couldn't you have just tied him to the chair or something?" Kuki questioned.

Wally shrugged and sat down, giving her a devilish grin.
Kuki smiled back at him then went and sat next to him , pressing her lips to hers.

"Hey! What did I say about making out?" Hoagie exclaimed. "Don't make me turn this ship around!"

Kuki looked at Hoagie and chuckled. Then turned back to Wally.

"Uh oh!" Hoagie sighed.

"What?" Wally asked.

Hoagie pressed buttons to speed up. "We've got company!"
