Disclaimer: I still don't own the KND. I know. It's a shock, right. I only own the new Numbuhs, and a piece of tech that will get used shortly.
Hello! I'm sorry for not posting yesterday, but I had unexpected plans. I'm not going to waste time in the author's notes. Let's just go to the story:

Delightful Mansion
2-14-30 0800 Hours (8:00 AM)
Numbuh 1 looked at the clock on the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. No one had come out of the mansion yet.
"Alright team. It seems that no one has come out of the house yet. This means that we're going to have to be more careful. Father isn't the only one in there. I don't know what the Delightful Children's kids can do, but I know what Father and the Delightfuls can do. We'll go in through the window to the kitchen. If anyone is there, we'll take them out quickly and quietly. Numbuh 2, do we have any rope on this ship?"
"Yeah, it should be in this crate somewhere." Numbuh 2 dug through a crate that was in the back of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. "Found it."
"Alright. I'll take point. Kids Next Door: BATTLESTATIONS!"
The group ran out of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., weapons ready and loaded. Numbuh 1 still had his pair of S.C.A.M.P.P.s. Numbuh 2 carried his favorite weapon, the S.Q.O.O.S.H.E.R. (Kids Next Door S.Q.O.O.S.H.E.R.: Shoots Quarts Of Oozing Stuff Heavily Ensnaring Rivals). Numbuh 3 had the T.H.U.M.P.E.R. (Kids Next Door T.H.U.M.P.E.R.: Teddy Hurling Ultra Microwave Powered Ejection Rifle) Numbuh 4 opted for the F.R.A.P.P.E. (Kids Next Door F.R.A.P.P.E.: Freeze Ray Always Paralyses Potential Enemies) Numbuh 5 had the classic S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. The operatives climbed through the gate, and made their way up to the window that led to the kitchen. Numbuh 1 opened the window and stuck his head through it. In the kitchen was the butler and a cook, their backs to the window. Numbuh 1 motioned that his team should stay put. He climbed in and covertly took out the two people, dragging their unconscious bodies to the window. He motioned for the team and the rope. Everyone else climbed in and tied up the two unconscious men. They stuffed them into the pantry.
"Ok, we're in the kitchen on the south side of the house." Numbuh 1 whispered. "If my memories serve me correctly, the door to Father's private sanctuary is in the ballroom in the center of the house. The door is on the north side of the room, so we'll have to cross the room without being seen."
Everyone nodded and followed him from the kitchen to the ballroom entrance. As they made their way to the room, they noticed an increase in volume, namely music and chatter. Numbuh 1 was curious, and when they reached the ballroom doors, he peeked through. The room was filled with people, partygoers, most of whom he didn't know. The only exceptions were the Delightful Children, now Delightful Adults. While they had grown taller, they were still in the group of 5, with no noticeable differences. The only difference was that Lenny had a brown hat instead of the usual football helmet. The Adults were talking with one of the guests. Numbuh 1 was in plain view of them, so he ducked back behind the door.
"There's a party going on in there!" He whispered.
"Why are those Delightful Dorks having a party?" Numbuh 4 was quickly quieted by everyone. He tried again, whispering this time. "Why would anyone want to come to their parties? Don't those people know what they did at parties when they were younger?"
"Apparently not." Numbuh 1 said. "Well, we still have to get around this party without people noticing us."
"Numbuh 5 says that we just dress up like adults and walk through the party." Numbuh 5 said in her cool manner.
"I say that we go in there and beat the crud out of all of them!" Numbuh 4 almost yelled again.
"No, Numbuh 4. We don't want to expose ourselves to Father." Numbuh 1 said. "Ok, we'll get a disguise. We'll go through the party right to Father's door."
The operatives looked around for something to make them look like an adult. They found a mop, a large tablecloth, and some other assorted items. Put together, they looked like a person with a mop on their head, and a tablecloth for a dress. Numbuh 3 was allowed to be the head, because the tablecloth looked like a dress. As they walked through the party, people gave them passing glances, but didn't seem to notice. Sector V made their way to the door on the other side of the ballroom, and slipped in unnoticed.
Delightful Mansion Surveillance Room
2-14-30 0830 Hours (8:30 AM)
Or so they thought. When the Delightful Adults had seen the strange looking person in the ballroom, they had excused themselves to go up to the surveillance room. Looking through the camera feeds had shown some kids coming in through the kitchen window and knocking out the butler and cook. They didn't know who the children were, but they could make out the Kids Next Door uniforms and weapons. Not knowing who the children were, they decided not to alarm the guests and just make a trap for the children. The adults smiled evilly.
Somewhere between Sector V Treehouse and Delightful Mansion
2-14-30 0845 Hours (8:45 AM)
It had taken a lot of convincing on her part, but Numbuh 362 finally managed to get Sector V to go rescue their parents. Joining them were Numbuhs 86 and 60, as well as Courtney, Samantha, and Grant. The operatives were silent, not knowing what awaited them. Numbuh 362 looked at the future operatives with disappointment. They didn't have the weapons to fight the Delightful Children, much less Father. Numbuh 362 sighed. It was going to be a long rescue mission. Because of Father's partial Delighfulization, none of the future operatives knew what to do, even after Numbuh 362 had convinced them to go up against Father. She, Numbuh 86, and Numbuh 60 would have to go on point, being the only ones who knew what to do and how to fight Father.
"How much longer until we get to the Mansion?"
"About 30 seconds, Numbuh 362." Amanda answered from the cockpit. They were so tense, they forgot not to call each other by their codenames.
45 seconds later, the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. landed, and the operatives piled out. They went up to the gates and were about to go through when they saw the members of Sector V running out of the Mansion.
"GIVE THOSE PLANS BACK!" A voice shouted from inside the Mansion. Numbuh 362 knew who that voice belonged to.
"Get back on the C.O.O.L.B.U.S.!" She shouted to the future operatives. Everyone piled back in. Those who knew the voice were rather oblivious to it, as it was still inside the Mansion. Those who didn't were trembling from fear.
"Get us out of here!" Numbuh 362 called.
"Yes, sir!" Amanda tried to comply without shaking so much.
The C.O.O.L.B.U.S. took off. As it did, it was followed by the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., which was piloted by Numbuh 2. As the two vehicles turned to go back to the Treehouse, they saw a figure run out the door. The Mansion then exploded with some type of gas, making all of the adults run out, coughing and hacking away. The figure glared at the two ships, then the gas enveloped him. He started coughing as well, and with each cough the flames emanating from him grew bigger and whiter.
Sorry for such a short chapter. I am kind of in a rush right now, and I wanted to get this chapter out before tomorrow. Don't worry. You'll see what Sector V did to Father's Mansion. And what trap the Delightful Adults set up. But, that won't come yet. I can already tell you that I can't update tomorrow. So, as per Portertrain9 Protocol, I will post 3 chapters on Friday. Yes, 3. 1 for Friday, 1 for tomorrow, and 1 for yesterday. If not, then I will post whatever chapters I need to on Sunday. Thanks for understanding. See you guys later!
