Note: Hey guys! Apologizes for the long update, but I'm going to try to update this fanfic on Mondays and Fridays! :D

Numbuh 1 quietly walked down the familiar Kids Next Door moon base hallway. Even when he left the Kids Next Door and joined the gKND, he would often dream about the moon base. It was one of the most amazing bases in the Kids Next Door; well next to the Sector V treehouse. Fellow operatives were also making their way down the hallway, so Nigel hid behind a wall. Abby. He had to get to Abby, he thought. Nigel was looking for Numbuh 5 knowing that she had likely gone to the Supreme Leader's office after hearing her voice over the intercom. "If I talk to Numbuh 5 maybe I can reason with her," he thought. However, he knew deep down that there was no way she would just surrender and be captured. As he was thinking, he began to wonder where on Earth Numbuh 362 had gone. Patton revealed that she had escaped capture. So just where was she? She wasn't with Hoagie and the gang. Suddenly, Numbuh 1 felt a weapon pointed into his back.

"Don't move," a familiar voice said.

"Rachel," Nigel said once he realized who it was.

"I'm sorry Nigel, but I made it clear to Numbuh 5 that all Galactic Kids Next Door operatives were wanted criminals," she said.

Quickly, Numbuh 1 turned around and pointed his laser weapon at her. The tension was building as the two operatives stared each other down.

"That's funny. You're wanted for conspiring against the gKND and for releasing top secret information. In fact, I came here to get you and the others. You're all scheduled for decommissioning."

Rachel couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was this the great Numbuh 1 that had triumphed for so many years? The Numbuh 1 who cared about his fellow operative as much as anyone? The Numbuh 1 who was perhaps one of the greatest Kids Next Door operatives?

"I've got to turn you in. I'm sorry," Nigel said looking forlorn.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that Nigel," 362 replied a hint of sadness in her voice.

Abby was gasping for breath. She had to get to the ships and get everyone to the convention center fast! She was running as fast as her legs could carry her when she spotted none other than Numbuh 1...He and Rachel were standing across from one another with their weapons drawn. Suddenly, Nigel swatted Rachel's weapon out of her hand.

"362!" Abby yelled to her.

"Go Numbuh 5! GO!"

Abby looked at Nigel. If she could see his eyes behind the sunglasses, she was sure he would look like a completely different person. The gKND and their "mission" had taken its hold on him. He was no longer the kind, caring operative she once knew, and that made her sick to her stomach. It's a shame that the gKND had used one of the best KND operatives against them. And what's worse? He was attacking a friend. Waking up from her daydream, Numbuh 5 left 362 to handle the situation knowing full well that she would probably lose the fight. As she made her way outside to the others, she saw Hoagie, Kuki, and Wally laughing and having just a grand time. For some reason, it made her furious.

"Come on! We've got to go!"

"But Numbuh 5 you've got to hear this joke I-" Numbuh 2 started before he was interrupted.

"GO!" She shouted at her teammates.

Quickly, Sector V and the other moon base operatives once again loaded up on their crafts and headed for Earth leaving Rachel and Nigel to their fight. Rachel landed on the ground after a punch from Nigel. She then grabbed her weapon and pointed it in Nigel's direction. In one motion, she pulled the trigger but Nigel dodged all three blasts. He then did a cartwheel and kicked her in the face. Rachel then noticed she had bruises on her cheek and a cut on her lip.

"I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice," Nigel said walking over to her and pointing his laser weapon at her. He stopped when he noticed Rachel trying to say something.

"W-W-Why?" She asked rubbing her face.

Nigel was confused. "Why what?"

"W-W-Why are you working for them? You t-t-trust t-t-them? Y-You actually believe in blowing up planets just to save us from adulthood?" She said gaining the strength back in her voice. "You believe in what they stand for? What they plan to do?"

Nigel lowered his weapon and began thinking again. The gKND was an honor to be a part of. Though he had to admit that at times, he did wonder if the honor had become a curse.

"I fight adults. YOU fight adults," Nigel said raising his weapon again.

"If that were true Nigel, we wouldn't be fighting each other," she said woundedly.

The two operatives looked at one another. Then with one bright flash, Numbuh 1 fired his laser weapon at Rachel. She collapsed on the ground stunned by the blast. He then placed handcuffs on her wrists and began carrying her out to his craft. "One down. Four to go," he thought.

However, he couldn't help but think of the conversation he had just had with Rachel. Why were the two organizations fighting one another?

Note: I got the idea for the fight between 1 and 362 from this fanart by man5ray on DeviantArt. :) Thanks man5ray!
