Chapter 36 Skirmishes along the Road
NMD1MU1: Timmy's bed, Turner Residences 6:00 am January 30, 2012
An alarm is heard blaring all across the room. A slumbering Timmy tried to ignore it by putting a pillow on his head.
"Let's see…" Cosmo seems to look on very long list "… we still haven't tried to wake Timmy up using KND technology…"
"Let m…" Wanda was stopped when Cosmo brought out an ice cream launcher and slammed blob of ice cream on Timmy's armpit. That instantly gave a very cold sensation and a panicking Timmy immediately woke up and washed the ice cream on the sink. After that, he went out, shouting…
"Who in the world would do…"
"Timmy, even if you are a wielder…"
"Yeah, yeah…" Timmy begins to mimic Wanda and said "…you still need to learn…" he stopped and continued "WHAT SHOULD I LEARN FROM SCHOOL? I still haven't learned anything aside from several ways on how to hurt your head!"
"Believe me but you have to learn something different…" a familiar voice said in a Japanese accent. "Education will improve the condition and status of everyone especially for the sake of the country. You are the hope of the nation as a famous novelist puts it…"
"Who are you?"
"Konichiwa Kiku Honda…" the Japanese man said while bowing down.
"OH TIMMY! You have a very great body guard in here…" Mr. Turner said as the Japan seems to be very grateful to be eating the vegetables that Timmy does not like to eat, even though it's breakfast.
"By why eat vegetables in the…"
"Kuya Kiku's nutritional diet must always contain vegetables especially since Kuya Ludwig requested it to happen…" Isabel replied.
"Alright…"
"I could freely eat when I'm in home, but until I'm still in America for the eight-day UN week, I have to follow the prescribed diet…" Japan replied.
"Since when did I have a bodyguard?" Timmy whispered to the nearby condiment containers/fairies.
"Britain is also outside waiting…" Wanda said.
"Wow, salt… I need it…" Japan said while looking towards Cosmo. Out of nowhere, a music that instills warning like something is about to happen begins as Japan slowly grabbed on Cosmo and Cosmo yelled "Um, PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SPLEEN AGAIN! Oh anyway, where did that song saying dundundundun came from?"
"Kuya Kiku, you must not take something beyond your prescribed diet!" Isabel yelled. Cosmo was dropped by Japan and he then resumes taking his vegetable diet without the extra salt.
Tootie's bedroom, De Leslie Residences 6:00 am
"Arghh…Wake up Tootie…" a familiar voice said in a very nice manner. When Tootie woke up, she yelled…
"GAH! WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO VICKY?"
"Just wake up…" Vicky replied. She sighed and went down the stairs…
"Wow, looks like the scary Vicky is all gone…" Tootie's shivering mom said as Vicky is now preparing breakfast.
"Say, what happened? Is she lost for 2 days and changed…." Tootie's shivering dad replied. Even Tootie herself noticed that something's strange on her older sister. At that moment, the doorbell rang. Vicky opened the door and on it are two men, one Italian and one German.
"WHAT! YOU AGAIN! GETTING MY BANK ACCOUNT IS ALREADY ENOUGH!" Vicky yelled.
Sector CL1 Undergound Base 6:15 am
"So you expect ME to expect a kinder VICKY!" A.J. yelled. He then laughed out loud, thinking that is close to impossible.
"Affirmative 725…" a nerdy and chubby boy replied "… thankfully someone posing as a UNICEF member showed up and warned that her bank account savings will all be vanished…"
"Wa-wa-wa-wait, who in the world is that UNICEF member?"
"The countries, of course. They visited the moonbase to discuss about something. I really think that even the Splinter Cell is not aware of this visit, which is good…"
"Alright, that will definitely make Vicky convince to be kind to kids. Besides, I have to get ready for school…"
"Well, if that is so… this is # 65.3, signing off!" At that moment, the screen went blank.
"I would return it if you'll be kind to your sister. Besides, as a member of the UNICEF, I am here to check your sister's situation…" the German replied.
"CIAO!" The Italian reacted "What a cute girl! Ve~, I just met, but this is crazy. I'll give you my number and call me…"
"BEAT IT!" Vicky yelled at the Italian. The Italian clings for his life to the German and yelled "LUDWIG! HELP! I THOUGHT THAT ONLY GERMAN GIRLS ARE VERY TOUGH!"
"YOU DUMKOFT! STOP WITH THOSE STEREOTYPING!"
Tang Residences, 6:00 am
Trixie was sleeping soundly and was expecting her usual alarm clock saying "I'm Pretty" ringing until…
"One, two, three…" someone whispered. Chinese gongs begins to sound accompanied by firecrackers. This would definitely give someone a shock.
"AHHH! DAD!"
"KEEP QUIET TRIXIE!" the mysterious Chinese man said.
"Who the heck… WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!" Trixie's dad yelled as he rushed and opened the door.
"Oh, Mister Tang your awake-aru…" China said in the middle of the Chinese crowd.
"GET OUT!"
"Next time Yao, inform me if you're bringing the proletariat… " Mr. Tang talked as the Chinese crowd turned the mansion into a festive environment.
"What do you expect? This is the time we should prepare to celebrate the Chinese New Year-aru…"
"But it was already finished last January 23..." Mr. Tang said
"Anyways, someone is here to…"
"I'M THE HERO!" somebody yelled as China was speaking. In doing so, he broke one of the window. Mr. Tang yelled "THAT'S WORTH A THOUSAND DOLLARS!"
"Alright, I'm paying the expenses…" America came near China and said "You know very well China that economy these days gets pretty bad…"
"WHAT! YOU WANT TO GET THE MONEY FROM ME? I WON'T ACCEPT THAT!" At that moment, the school bus arrived.
"Dad, I have to…"
"Trixie we'll join you…" China said "We have a very interesting program for you, kids, today…"
"Well, nothing will go wrong in this trip beause you are together with me, THE HERO!" America yelled.
"I hate going to school today…" Timmy said with a very long face.
"Well, if you are going to school in my place…"
"Who cares…" Britain was shut off by Timmy "School is still school wherever you go…"
"Well, in Japan, students have a very high interest in Math and Science…" the Japanese replied.
"What's so interesting about that stuff?"
"Well, what kind of subject you want to learn?" Britain said while thinking about something "I know… Cosmo, Wanda…"
"Britain, time to teach Timmy a lesson?" Wanda suddenly appeared with her time-to-punish-Timmy mode active. Cosmo and Poof appeared next and Cosmo immediately hides behind Poof, saying "Poof, use your cute powers to calm you mama!"
At that moment, the bus arrived and the three fairies instantly became pushpins on Timmy's backpack. Timmy, Britain and Japan climbs up the bus and they all sat in a way that Britain is on the edge of the window and Timmy is located been him and Japan. Timmy's wand/pen begins to light up and Britain noticed that Timmy is not moving his lips but rather acts as if he is talking to someone. The bus then stops at the De Leslie residences and Tootie, Germany and Italy rode the bus. They sat on the opposite side of the bus facing them. Britain noticed the Tootie's bracelet lighting up at the same time Timmy's, although Tootie is less obvious in acting. Britain held on something deep within his jacket and said in his mind "Sorry to interrupt your talking but congratulations, you passed the first trial…"
"Wait, I thought that only the three of us could communicate thru the wands?" Timmy instantly replied in his mind while looking at Britain.
"The wands do not limit this degree of communication to other wands under the conditions that a fairy or someone like me would communicate…"
"However, if we passed the first trial, what about the next one?" Trixie followed and at that moment, Britain asks in his mind "Where are you located?"
"At the popular kids section…"
"What in the world is…"
"Yo dude!" Someone suddenly taps Britain's back, interrupting what he is about to say.
"WHO THE BLOODY… Oh, it's you America…"
"Guess what, I wonder what kind of section is the popular kids section but I manage to get China in there!"
"Oh well, as long as someone else is not here…" Britain said, talking about someone. At that moment, a black bus went towards a side of their school bus. Just then, several hooks are sent towards their bus and penetrated towards the school bus's casing. Kids noticed it and everyone got in panic mode. The countries present took notice of this. Italy then yelled "RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFEE!" This comment made everyone running around.
"WHAT IS GOING ON!" Timmy yelled. At that moment, the side where he is seated got several grappling hooks clinging and another black bus appeared. Germany took out a pistol and took initiative to fire at the mysterious bus on his side. However…
"Darn it… unless I have a recoilless rifle, I can't take this one down." Germany commented as he noticed that the window is the same as those used in tanks.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Trixie yelled towards China. They are located on the rear side of the bus
"We're in America. If this ever happens to my country, I would call my army…"
"WE'RE TO POPULAR TO BE KIDNAPPED!" Tad and Chad panicked on the corner. Veronica, on the other hand, fainted out of panic. Britain radioed in and yelled "ANYONE KNOWS WHO THE BLOODY WORLD DID THIS?"
"NEGATIVE-ARU!" China said in his communicator.
Meanwhile on Timmy's side…
Japan tried to throw shurikens at the buses but it was no use at all and the shrunkens just bounced back.
"I would use my katana if I could go out of this bus…" Britain brought out his wand and aimed at the bus on his side. However, the beam just went bouncing off upwards. He hid away like someone would in a gunfight and said "No use. They have mirrors."
"Wait, Cosmo, Wanda, Poof…" Timmy said "I WISH THAT THOSE BUSES DISAPPEAR!" At that moment, their bus got covered in a net and the fairies' wands wilted.
"It's no use! They're using a kind of butterfly net!" Wanda yelled. At that moment, their bus begins to slow down to the weights attached on the nets. Timmy went looking for his friends and saw that they are missing.
"Where's Chester, A.J., Sanjay and Elmer?" Timmy asks.
"We haven't got to A.J. house remember?" Tootie commented mentally. She said it in a panicked way.
"SECTOR CL1! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!" #65.3 shouted on A.J.'s communicator as he is waiting outside his house.
"Now what Herbert?"
"DCFDTL located near your treehouse!"
"I ALREADY KNOW THAT! THE WARNING WENT OFF AND I SUSPECT THAT THEY ARE AFTER CODENAME WT!"
"This is Sector V, we are on recess here in Virginia, on the go!" #1 said on the communicator.
"I'll contact Sector N, maybe they could help!" #65.3 logs off. A.J. begins to head to his treehouse/Sector CL1 base when…
"A.J. just wait for the school bus…"
"I wanted to try my new invention to go to school, I don't want to be late!" A.J. yelled. At that moment, his father replied "OK son, as long as you're ok! Have fun inventing!" A.J. rode his sector's S.C.A.M.P.E.R., a KND vehicle that is similar to a green mini-van except that it is designed to fly with rockets, and flew off.
The bus driver tried to speed up but the force of the 2 buses and the nets can't make the bus speed up longer. At that moment, the window on the bus on which Timmy faces opened up and five kids appeared.
"Well, looks like we have a prize for Father to see…" five kids wearing a uniform said. At that moment, several paper airplanes came out of the window and went pass thru the net. The paper planes went inside the bus and begins to realease nets, capturing random children, including Timmy, Tootie and Trixie. China, Japan, Germany and Britain tried to get them out but they were also captured as well. Japan can't even reach his katana out and use even his ninja skills.
"Oh Bloody GREAT!" Britain yelled "THIS SHOULD BE THE JOB FOR KND!" At that moment, an axe like object swung on both sides in between the buses and cuts the grappling hook. However, even the bus driver was caught in the net and the only thing he could move is the stirring wheel. The bus also went slower and slower as the weights now turned into heavy anchors. At that moment, a hole was busted on top of the school bus and several squirts of mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup are heard, hitting all the planes. Simultaneously, the nets they wear holding was removed.
"725, deal with the buses…" a familiar voice said "Sector V, spread out and free all the kids…"
"Well, hello Nigel. Long time no see…" the five kids responded. Nigel looked on the window where #4 tries to free Timmy and saw…
"Just as I suspected…" Nigel said "… the Delightful Children…"
"Delightful what?" Timmy overheard #1. At that moment, Nigel pointed out his 2x4 weapon and said "Back away or I'll call back-up!"
"Well, we do have back-up…" at that moment, the windows facing the school bus opened up and several adults bristling with marble launchers appeared.
"Well, looks like your cornered now…" the Delightful Children said "Just let us get the kids we needed and we will go in peace…" At that moment, several shots are heard from above the buses. They are made by tokens flying at supersonic speeds.
"#1, this is 725, looks like I can go to school now. Sector N is now here…" A.J. communicated. At that moment, five flying machines came chasing above the buses that all looks like slot machines, firing out numerous tokens from slot on its base and are being supported by two helicopter-like rotors
KND 2x4 Technology Data files (contains new KND technology that did not appear in the series but was plausible to exists. Does not include prototypes)
Machine name: S.L.O.T.M.A.C.H.I.N.E.
Sooper (yep, they deliberately misname certain words) Lots Of Tokens Makes Adults Chasing Hours In Nice Escapades
Sector of Inventor: N (Nevada)
A flying slot machine, it could fire several tokens from its mouth on the pilot's crankshaft that acts like a slot machine. The amount that comes outside of it depends on the luck (or skill) of its pilot. Usually used perfectly by Sector NE due to their skill, this is usually used as a ground attack aircraft, firing off coins to let adults chase after the pennies instead of concentrating on destroying the KND. The pilots usually enjoy the machine due to the way the adults became suckers towards the coins which they usually picks-up. This reaction of adults is still being studied by KND.
The drivers of the black buses saw the pennies released by the flying machine firing in front of their bus. They immediately stopped the bus and went outside. When the adults inside those buses saw the bus stopping, they dropped their weapons and begin to pick up the coins. Even the countries went berserk inside the nets that contained them, trying to get the missing coins on their country treasury. #2 immediately took the driver seat and drove towards the school while #1, together with #4 and #5, removed the net overing the bus. A.J. was tasked on fetching everyone else. On the moment they got on the school grounds, everyone was free. The doors of the now-wrecked bus opened and the kids excitingly went out.
Meanwhile…
"You've done enough kids…" a voice said as the five kids are talking in a communicator. "We managed to detect where those kids are going…"
"Yes Father…" the kids replied. "What about the time we talked about the OTLI?"
"Yes, about that… ah, yes, I'll give to them this useful information since we manage to deliver the identity of the fourth weilder to them…"
Meanwhile on the Wood Between the Worlds…
"Your Majesty, why have you called us here?" Buck asks as his full squadron was on the corner, trying to put a rest due to a three-day journey secretly escorting Timmy.
"It is because I want you to warn them…" the Lion replied "…say this message to Britain and proclaim that I will speak to him. Now is the time to reveal what Jorgen was hiding for a long time…"
