Hello, and welcome to the newest chapter of "The Future is Here?"
To everybody that has reviewed, I would like to say thank You! It's great that people are enjoying my stories, my writing.
I has been brought to my attention that I have been forgetting to comment to reviewers, and I want to apologize for that. Hopefully, by the next chapter, I will have enough reviews to do comments again.
Here is the chapter that you want!
RED ALERT! RED ALERT! VILLIAN IN SIGHTS! The alarm blared, waking everyone up from their slumber. The past KND have been staying with the Future KND for about 2 weeks, and no one had attacked the tree house until today.
"Thomas! Status report!" Nichole stomped in, wearing a yellow shirt and red shorts as pjs.
"The Magician is attempting to break the defenses of the treehouse! He's almost here!" Thomas replied back, wearing an old pair of shorts and a ratty old t-shirt.
"We can take him!" Numbah 86 said, pounding her fist against her Rainbow monkey pjs. Nichole shook her head.
"No. I don't want any chance of the Magician recognizing you from his childhood. We'll take care of it." She pointed to her team, all ready to go.
"If you're sure, Nichole, we'll stay back." Numbah 362 herded everybody to a place where they could watch the fight, but not be seen.
It wasn't long before the Magician breached their defenses. A skinny man in a weird robe jumped through the window. He had a maniacal look in his eye, cackling like a mad person.
"I got you now, Kids Next Door! Soon, you will all be under the power of the Magician!" He screamed in an extremely raspy voice. Just by looking at him you could tell he was insane.
"Yeah, right. Everyone knows you just try to defeat us because kids will never go to your stupid magic show." Tony said, coming straight up to the Magician, who was a good foot taller.
The Magician cackled again, and raised his arms, acting like he was putting them under a spell. The others didn't do anything, just stood there. Eventually, Nichole got up in his face.
"Look, we don't have time for this craziness. So how about we just skip to the part where we kick you butt!" She said, pulling out an old fashioned S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. and hitting him square in the face. He stumbled back and fell out of the window. Nichole turned around, smirked, and twirled the S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. in her fingers, like they did in the Western movies.
"He's just too easy. We don't even have to try." She said, gesturing for the past KND to join the others. "We just humor him. I think he's mentally retarded. He's even worse than Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb."
The entire group all went to the separate rooms to change, and then met in the kitchen to have breakfast.
"So, Numbah 2, Miguel, and Bruce, when do you think the machine will be finished?" Numbah 362 said, digging into a bowl of Rainbow Munchies cereal.
"It's hard to say. Whenever we seem to be getting really close to the right thing, it blows up in our faces. I think we might have it soon, though." Numbah 2 said, lounging against a chair.
"But there's also the problem of figuring out how the machine malfunctioned. It will take even longer to find that out." Miguel said, groaning.
"That's the thing! Once we fix the machine, we can look into the past to see what it was that cause such a problem. We cause the problem, set the time, and we're home free!" Hoagie said.
Melody stared at him. "Man, you must be my dad. That's the first thing I've heard you say that's even remotely cool." Everyone laughed while Numbah 2 glared at her.
"Anyways, I'd say it will take about 2 more weeks, if there are no more unexpected delays." Bruce finished for him. The rest of the team nodded and ate their breakfasts, talking to each other.
Man, its like we're all just part of one sector, Abby thought to herself. The past is combined with the future, and no ones batting an eyelash.
Abby looked at Numbah 2 talking loudly with Bruce, and Melody in a conversation with Rosa. She smiled. If it weren't for the fact that these kids wouldn't exist without us going back to the past, it wouldn't be so bad staying here.
Numbah 2, Miguel, and Bruce finished their breakfast before everybody else, leaving to go back to the lab. Everyone else sat around, talking to everybody else. Eventually Nichole stood up.
"Hey, I'm going to go train. I think you guys should to. The Magician is one stupid villain, but a nastier one usually follows." She said, walking in the direction of the training room. The others followed her, not really having anything else to do.
They headed to the training room, which was filled with old adult devices. They all went around and turned them on, getting into fighting positions.
During training, Numbah 362 noticed different things that had been mentioned before. Nichole and Zach were speeding around, deactivating machines left and right. They got to the point where they were no more than blurs zooming around the room.
Bethany and Tony were just like Zach had said. They never stopped going. Unlike Nichole and Zach, who had to stop every once and a while to take a breather, they just kept on going, like the perfect fighting team. They were perfectly synchronized.
Abby committed their moves to memory, to teach them to future Kids Next Door agents. Those sort of moves will come in handy someday. Abby thought as she did a swift kick to the robot's head.
They continued training for a while, eventually stopping the robots and fighting each other. They were so caught up in their training, they didn't notice the explosion that sounded from the lab. Suddenly, Hoagie ran into the training room, his hair smoking.
"We did it! We did it! We recreated the formula!" Hoagie cried out, dancing around the training room. He picked Abby up and span her around, not realizing what he did. "After weeks, we cracked the formula!"
"You mean we can go home?" Kuki exclaimed, releasing Wally from a headlock. Hoagie finally noticed he was holding Abby and set her down, blushing.
"Well, the formula is done, but we still have to make the machine. Another week, at least." Hoagie said, still blushing. Abby smacked her forehead.
"You mean you came in here all exited for nothing?" Abby asked him, smacking him in the head with her hat.
"My bad?" Hoagie sheepishly said. All the others shook their heads and left the room as Miguel and Bruce ran in, all exited. They stopped short, looking at the empty room.
"What did we miss?" They asked, confusion in their faces. Hoagie shook his head.
I know, pretty much a useless chapter, but I needed a filler chapter. Something to break the tension, bring a little more humor into the story.
I don't know when I'm going to be able to post the next chapter. But anyways, happy Thanksgiving! Go Black Friday crazy!
I 3 you people! Wow, that sounded creepy. : )
