Sector W Treehouse
Meanwhile at the Sector W treehouse, the four operatives within the treehouse are now backed into a corner by a group of 3 teenagers.
"What do we now, Numbuh 83?" Numbuh 85 asks nervously.
"I don't know, I just hope the backup gets here on time." Numbuh 83 replies. The leader of the attack grabs Numbuh 83 by her collar and pulls her close.
"They're not gonna get here on time. You brats are done for." The girl threatens, she then turns to the teen boys alongside her. "Take them to a dark basement, until we can figure out what to do with them." She orders.
"Sure thing. Come here baghead." As the teenager lifts up Numbuh 85, he is suddenly shot with GUMZOOKA. He looks up to see Numbuh 86 standing on the side of the room, staring at the teenagers with anger.
"Get away from me brother, asshole." She hisses.
"Fanny?" 85 asks, happy to see his sister come to his rescue.
"Are you alright, Paddy?" She asks.
"No, please help us." Paddy replies.
Hearing the familiar voice, the teenage girl turns around to reveal her face to 86. It's the former Numbuh 12. Recognizing her, 86 stares at her in shock and anger.
"Hi, Fanny." She says in a sweet tone.
"Numbuh 12, it's you." Fanny says, trying to hide her anger and sadness.
"Sweetheart, the name's Karen. And I'm not here for you. I'm here for them." She states.
"What do you want with us, ya freak?" Harvey barks.
"It's not what I want, it's what Father wants with them." Karen boasts.
"I don't care what Father wants, you're not taking them. Now leave this place, while you still have a chance." Fanny warns her.
"Oh Fanny, how I've missed you. I don't wanna fight you, in fact I have a deal for you." Karen states.
"What deal?" Fanny asks curiously.
"You're not actually considering a deal with her are you?!" Paddy asks.
"No, I'm not. I'm merely curious about what she has to say." Fanny replies.
"You may consider it, after what I'm going to tell you." Karen interjects.
"Get on with it then. You're trying my patience."
"Come with me. We're going to Delighfulize all the Kids Next Door. But if you help me out, you won't have to be. It'll be like old times again, Fanny. You're still my friend, right?" Karen offers.
"No! I'll never join you! The last time I fought alongside you, you embarrassed me! The only time I want to be around you is when I arrest you and decommission your lying ass!" Fanny shouts, though Karen does not seem terribly upset by this.
"That's a shame, Fanny. I was really looking forward to having you by my side again. Trust me, my life is better as a Teen Ninja than it ever was in the KND. Yours will be too. Don't remember that sleepover? Remember how I was the only one who wanted to be your friend?" Karen is now striking nerves with Fanny, barely able to restrain herself.
"Things change. You don't know what I've done since then. My life is better than you could ever know. Don't you DARE try to say it's not." Fanny snaps. Karen still stares her down, though her facial expressions read defeat and anger.
"You'll come around, Fanny. But for now…" Suddenly she shoots the GUMZOOKA out of Fanny's hands with a wrist rocket. She then takes off using rocket boots to take off to a Teen ship above the treehouse. "I'll see you later, Fanny! Come on guys!"
She signals for the Teen boys to follow her to the ship. They grab the four young operatives, but Fanny picks herself back and shoots them down so the duo can't escape.
"You boys, aren't going anywhere." Fanny hisses. She then gathers the other operatives to help them escape. When she grabs Harvey, he flinches and swats her hand away.
"Hey! I still don't like being…" Fanny then slaps him in the face.
"I'm here to save your life, not here you bitch about not being touched. So shut and run!" She barks, and he gets running almost immediately.
As Fanny gets the four operatives out, the two teen boys begin chasing them. Thinking quickly Lee uses his yo-yos to trip up the pair of them. Unfortunately, they both hit their heads on wall switches. One of them locks a door and the other turns the lights out in the room. It is now almost completely pitch black.
"Oh shit." Lee says to himself, knowing what is about to happen.
"I don't… like… the DAAARRRRK!" Everyone hears Sonia scream. The next thing anyone hears is Sonia's berserker rage yell, followed by cries of extreme agony by the two teen boys.
Lee manages to find the switch and turns the lights back on. All KND operatives look at Sonia in shock upon seeing how horribly mutilated the teenagers are. One of them is missing all of his teeth and eyes are swollen shut. The other one's legs and arms are broken in three places each.
"Jesus Christ, Sonia!" Paddy yells in surprise.
"You guys know I don't like the dark." Sonia defends.
"Yeah but just… holy shit." Harvey is at a loss for words at seeing how violent Sonia can truly be.
"Well it doesn't, let's get outta here. I'm taking you guys to the Moonbase. I'm not leaving you guys alone until we're safe there." Fanny says, leading them all to her ship. As they are led into the ship, Paddy is last but does not get in yet.
"Paddy, what are you doing? Get in." Fanny orders.
"What about Shaunie? Do you think she'll go after him?" Paddy asks, concerned for their younger brother.
"I don't think so. He's at the house right now, and I'm pretty sure Dad is there right now. He'll be safe for now. I'll pick him up later and bring him to the Moonbase." Fanny says, calming her brother down.
As Paddy gets in, Fanny becomes nervous when she notices that Karen escaped in her ship. "I hope he's safe. If she hurts one hair in his head, she'll wish she never knew me." Fanny then gets in the pilot's seat and flies all of Sector W up to the Moonbase. The Sector W treehouse was no longer safe for the KND.
End of the Chapter. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. I decided to name the ex-Numbuh 12, Karen DeVos. Seemed like a fitting name for a character like her. And YES, I know what I'm referencing with that.
The next chapter is going to the Teenz attack in the Sector V treehouse. That will lead to a subplot of Hoagie, because it's been too long since he's been in the story and I need to introduce the Air Berets into the story. Until then, happy reading.
