The group landed the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. inside the Moon Base, heading inside to go and find Numbah 86. The group hopped off of the vehicle, heading over to the doors that lead inside the Moon Base. The two big doors opened up for them, revealing a long hallway that was leading down to one of the main big rooms of the entire Moon Base.
Arriving at the door that was on the other side of the hallway, the four went right through it, revealing a big room on the other side. The room was the same room with the staircase, the computers, and a giant window, looking out to see Earth...or it use to see Earth anyway. The idea that the planet was no longer seen out that giant window made shivers go down all four of their spines.
"So where is Fanny around here?" Julia asked, looking at the only Sector V member who is still with them. Hoagie looks around this giant area, trying to find her, before he heard the sound of stomping from the hallway. "Nevermind…"
Looking over to the nearby hallway, Fanny came stomping into the next room. The four turned their heads, hearing the loud stomps, as the red-haired, usually angry girl came into this location. Fanny was pretty much the same, her hair was still red and curly, she still has her dark green jacket as expected, but now has a black vest over it too, and her red and black plaid skirt with black leggings underneath. She was still the angry girl as she was a kid, that's for sure.
Hoagie walked up to the angry girl, who stood there with her hands in her hips, clearly furious about what had just occurred seconds ago. It didn't really seem like it'll leave anyone's thoughts until a couple days later, but still. Hoagie lowers his head with sadness, before Fanny waves a fist into his face.
"Don't you see what just happened?!" Fanny shouts, furiously at Numbah 2.
"I see..." Hoagie said, depressed by what had happened.
"EARTH IS GONE! THE MOON BASE WAS ATTACKED BY THOSE ENEMIES FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET! THOSE...THINGS CAPTURED NUMBAH 362! Also, one more single moment that I probably forgotten to mention, EARTH BLEW UP!"
"I get it. I believe all three of us have seen it right before our very eyes when it happened..."
"It's true..." Tommy said. "I...can't believe it's gone."
"Who did you invite here, Hoagie?" Fanny asked, starting to take notice of the other three who were with him.
"Oh...I believe you already know me." Tommy walks forward, smiling. "...I was the one who saved all of you when Father was turning all of the other KND operatives into animals."
"I already know who YOU are...I was talking about those other two." Fanny points at Miles and Julia. "Last time I remember, neither of you were members of the Kids Next Door. Unless Hoagie had no other choice but to bring along two strangers from Earth."
"Look, we don't mean any trouble, Numbah 86. But...we kind of invited ourselves into this..." Miles explains to her. "...Um, I'm Miles. This is Julia. You...might've known her when you were kids, because...you didn't invite her to your slumber party when Virginia did." Julia crosses her arms, glaring at the red-haired girl, before Miles continued to talk. "Look, what you said is true, me and Julia were not members of the KND, mainly because we...rather look out for each other, rather than focus on some...ridiculous war between kids and adults. Both of us just found the whole situation petty, and hoped that it'll all settle days in the next coming years or so."
Fanny glared at Miles after he said all of that. "Well I hoped that you're happy with that wish. The Kids Next Door have been defeated." Fanny said, berating him. "Why are you wanting to help us out now?!"
"I know it's too late, but...hear us out...please. Me and Julia...we're close friends with Chad Dickson...you know, Numbah 274?"
"He's been captured by those aliens, that...we know are the GKND." Julia said, finishing off what her brother would've said. "He, along with Rachel, Abigail, Wally, Kuki, Bartie, and Virgina have all been captured by them."
"The GKND were those alien things?" Fanny asked, finding this unbelievable.
"I know...neither me or Julia would believe it ourselves...but...it's true. I seen a map up there, saying 'GKND Mothership' inside of a janitor's closet." Miles said, pointing towards the sky. "We were also captured too, before...well, the Tommy was able to get us out of there. He appeared in our minds, and we were able to get out of these giant tube things. Then we escaped that mothership."
Fanny then glares over to Tommy. "You know, I can forgive you for indirectly causing Father to have almost every treehouse on the planet to become broccoli, but you had a way to get these two random people I don't know out, but NOT Sector V?!" Fanny then looks over to Hoagie, still confused by how this was possible. "Come to think about it, how the hell did you get these two out by getting into their minds?!"
"Let's just say that there's a certain device that helped us out." Hoagie said to Fanny. "A device that fell out of one of those GKND ships, before it took off back into space. I was able to track that item down, and bring it onto the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. before anyone else could discover it." Hoagie then looks over to the hallway that he and his group came out of moments ago. "Since it was impossible for me to get into the other members minds at the moment, I felt like a little more readjustments to these GKND devices could help us get into the other members minds. Which is why I was bringing Miles and Julia down here in the first place."
"How exactly do you think that these two can help us out? Or at the very least, be trustworthy enough to say the others?"
"They have escaped the GKND Mothership with their lives still intact, right? If that's not any reason to trust them, then I don't know who else could help us out in this situation."
Fanny took a good long look at the two strangers who were standing right before her. These two were pretty much the closest that she and Hoagie have to being their only hope of getting things back to once they were. It was a very risky choice, trusting these two, but she reluctantly felt like they could be able to pull things off.
With a nod, Fanny turns her head towards Hoagie, before speaking. "Then let's bring that device you were talking about out here, Numbah 2." Fanny said.
Back at the GKND Mothership...
Numbah 1 stared out a window, that would've been seeing Earth from that spot. He couldn't keep his eyes off of the blank, empty space where Earth use to be. He knew it had to be done, as adults took over Earth once he left, and there was no other option for him to do. It was for the best, and for the fallen Kids Next Door.
Without moving his head, a platform came up next to him. A crying Chad was handcuffed by futuristic handcuffs, while two other aliens stood by both of his sides. Chad lifts up his head, seeing what the former leader of Sector V has done.
Chad wished it was all a dream, a nightmare, something that could prove to him that this wasn't at all what he was really seeing. He didn't want to believe that ANY of this was even true. But he knew what he was seeing, he knew he was awake, he knew this isn't some sort of dream he was in. The planet, where all of his friends and family was on...it was gone. Everyone he knew, most likely gone. He turned his face, glaring at Nigel Uno, who was staring emotionlessly at that vacant spot in space.
"Y-You monster...I told you that this isn't what the KND was even about..." Chad said, bitterly. "...Don't you realize what you have done?!"
"It had to be done..." Nigel Uno said, staring forward, not looking at Chad. "...The KND have been avenged."
"I can't believe that you had to go do this, Nigel...you didn't have to go do something like this..." Chad looks down to the ground, placing his forehead on the ground, unable to control himself from tearing up. "...Don't you know how many people...how many people...don't you know, Nigel? DON'T YOU KNOW..."
Nigel didn't move his eyes away from the window, as he didn't want to answer that question. He knew adult tyranny took over the Earth once he left, and there was no other choice to be done after that. He had to do what was best for both the GKND, as well as the KND themselves.
Moments ago, he remembered when he was talking about Earth, to the other screens, and then he had to literately turn on the laser to be sent straight to Earth. The only voices he head as he was debating to himself about that moment was the other aliens telling him to do it, while Chad was berating Nigel for his actions, and hoped to think how all of this would affect his family, as well as Sector V's lives. Chad even said that Numbah 5 would not want him to do something like this. But then again, she wasn't here right now, warning him not to do this.
"What already happened...happened..." Nigel said, same emotionless stare, and tone of voice. He slowly turned his head towards Chad, face turning into that of guilt and despair, but to Chad, that was probably not sincere in the slightest. "...When I left, it seemed like every single bit and piece of the KND was being destroyed...the adults were too powerful. I could've stopped everything that had happened, only if I was there...but...it's the only way that the Kids Next Door would've been avenged, how I would've redeemed myself for allowing such a travesty to happen without my knowledge, nor my involvement. You might've redeemed yourself, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions, my friend...we have to do what's best for the KND."
"By destroying a planet?!"
"By making sure that adulthood never happens again."
"How? By getting rid the other adults, and then what?!"
"I'm working on it...for now, you must go back to your cell."
Nigel Uno turns away from the blonde boy, heading over to the door that was right behind him. The only thing that happened to Chad was that the two guards that were by his side, picks him up, ready to bring him back to his cell in the hallways nearby. Chad was still furious with what Nigel had done, however.
"Don't think this is over, Nigel Uno...you have no idea what you have done..." Chad said, bitterly to him, before his face went into a look of sadness. "...I don't think you actually are Numbah 1 anymore..." The platform lowered itself down into the darkness below.
Back at the Moon Base...
With the help of Miles and a couple of other people who found themselves on the Moon Base, Hoagie was able to get the tube device out of his vehicle and over to one of the other rooms. He was left alone inside of one of the offices so that he can try to improve the machine a little more so that he can try to use it to rescue the other members of Sector V, including Virginia, Bartie, and Rachel. The other four remained outside the office room Hoagie was inside.
Outside in the hallways, Tommy was watching through one of the windows, watching his brother work on the machine. Fanny was leaning on the wall next to Julia, while Miles was elsewhere in the Moon Base, probably to think to himself about what just happened. Feeling that it was extremely silent between the two of them, the girl with brown hair spoke to Fanny.
"Hey...I'm sorry if me and my brother not joining the KND was proving that we're nothing but cowards..." Julia said, sincerely. "But what were we suppose to do? We wanted to focus on ourselves, and our family, we couldn't go against the adults and fight against them." Fanny sighed.
"You know, loyalty seems pretty scarce when it comes to the Kids Next Door..." Fanny said, not turning her head towards the girl in the slightest. "...If you ask me, I learnt the hard way, considering that I thought Numbah 12 was my best friend...like a sister to me...only for her to side with the teens instead. I'm surprised to hear that you and your brother remained loyal to each other, and one didn't decide to go against the other to fight adult tyranny."
"Well...Miles is..." Julia groans, and cringes, before speaking onward about her brother. "...Afraid of getting grounded by our parents. One time, he actually felt like going against them, and go join the Kids Next Door because he hated them so much...but later on, he completely denied that he ever hated them in the first place."
"What did he do?"
"He...just skipped school with a couple boys he was trying to be friends with...they got him grounded for literately a whole two days...but then they abandoned him because they thought he was worthless to them, because he got caught by his parents..." Julia sighed. "...He later apologized for that, and told them that he never felt so betrayed in his life. He and our parents made up after that was mentioned to them...and life's been all good since..." Julia looks down, feeling depressed bringing her parents up into this conversation. "...It...kind of sucks knowing what...happened seconds ago...and..." Fanny sighed once again.
"Did anyone ever tell you that my dad is Mr. Boss?"
"Yes." Julia's tears immediately dried up hearing that being mentioned, causing her head to turn towards the red-haired girl next to her. "Wait, your dad is that business man, Mr. Boss? That dude who almost sent all of those girls into space?"
"That's true."
"Woah...that explains how you are so..." Fanny slowly turns her head, glaring at the brown-haired girl, causing her to stop what she's saying. "...So well mannered, and polite to other people. Definitely not because you're a complete jerk to people, no..." Julia cringed, looking forward at the office room ahead of her. "You know what...this conversation was nice, but...I think I'm going to find my brother now..."
"Yes, yes...you go do that..." Fanny said, rather annoyed. Julia quickly walked off, cringing, hoping that Fanny was giving her a couple seconds to leave as fast as possible. Fanny kept her eyes on the girl, before looking at the door once again. "I swear...I don't know where other KND operatives find people to help us out..." She mutters.
