I don't think I really need to say it, however, I do not own Codename: Kids Next Door. KND and its characters are the sole property of Mr. Warburton. Unless they were created by me, specifically for this story.
On a side note, this chapter might be edited at a later point if I'm able to do something with one of the scenes that I want to do. Hopefully it'll make the chapter a bit better.

The Kids Next Door ran from Goda Zira, the monster the Delightful Children From Down The Lane had sicced on them. They were armed with S.C.A.M.M.P.s firing at Goda as they ran. However, the shots had little effect on the large reptile and eventually the Phlazers ran out of power, forcing the Kids to just run. They were almost at the end of the block, almost to where Numbuh Three was waiting with Hippy Hop.
Numbuh Three's friends were ecstatic when they saw her in her bunny robot. They were even happier when Three launched a pair of carrot-shaped missiles at Goda Zira, which actually seemed to hurt him a bit. He staggered back and watched, taking an opportunity to examine this new player.
"Hi guys!" Numbuh Three called out to her friends through Hippy-Hop's external loudspeakers.
"Numbuh Three!" Numbuh One said, "What are you doing here?"
"Me an' Hippy Hop came to help." she replied.
"Numbuh Five thought yer folks didn' wan'cha in the Kids Next Door." said the stealth operative.
"I don't know why, but they changed their minds."
"Well, I fer one ain't complainin'!" Numbuh Four said.
"Yeah," Numbuh Two said, "With Hippy Hop, we might be able to beat this thing."
"You mean the big lizard?" Numbuh Three asked.
The Kids Next Door looked at Goda Zira, who was standing about 30 feet away, still watching the Kids Next Door.
"Uh-huh." Numbuh Two confirmed, "We tried everything we could get to. The defense turrets, the S.U.G.A.R.-R.A.Y., even my fly suit and S.C.A.M.P.P.s"
"That's what you used?" Numbuh Three asked, "Well no wonder you didn't beat 'im."
"And just what is that s'posed ta mean?" Numbuh Four asked.
"Don't you know? The best way to stop giant lizard monsters is with a GIANT ROBOT BATTLE!" Numbuh Three said, emphasizing the last three words.
"Numbuh Five did not know that."
"Well yeah," said Three, "You gotta have a big robot to beat a big monster. Either that or have another big monster, or maybe be a Powerpuff Girl. Which would be kinda cool 'cept white stockings make my legs look fat and-"
"Numbuh Three!" Numbuh One called, "He's coming back!"
Indeed, Goda Zira had decided the big rabbit was nothing to worry about, and was renewing its attack.
"Maybe, since you're the only one here with a weapon, you should do something about it."
"Okay." Numbuh Three said. The other Kids took cover while Numbuh Three readied for battle with the approaching enemy. The Delightful Children From Down the Lanes' hovercraft landed right next to them.
"Well, it seems the cavalry has arrived... too late." they said, then started their monotonous laugh.
"Numbuh Three can beat your lizard!" Numbuh Two yelled.
"If our past encounters are any indication, Numbuh Three will probably get distracted by a something shiny and get crushed." the Children taunted.
Numbuh One didn't believe what they said, though. He knew something only a veteran of several battles could know; in any conflict, be it a simple game or a all-out war, there is one element that is always beyond the control of the participants. One element, on whose whims a well thought out plan can be a complete failure. One element that can turn a reckless charge into the battle-winning strike. Most call this element 'luck', or 'fate'. However, the Kids Next Door had their own special name for this element: Numbuh Three.
And right now, she was ready to fight. Inside Hippy Hop's cockpit Numbuh Three armed her weapons and readied herself. Goda approached. When he was close enough, Numbuh Three dove Hippy Hop between the monster's legs and under its tail. Now behind the creature, Numbuh Three turned and faced her enemy.
"Are ya hungry, Hippy Hop?" she asked the robot as she pushed a button, which caused Hippy Hop to start biting into Goda Zira's tail like a real-life rabbit would a carrot. Goda roared in pain. He swung his tail, flinging the still chewing Hippy Hop into the air and onto its back. Numbuh Three was rocked a bit, but not too badly, since she was buckled in tightly. Three quickly righted herself and prepared for the next attack.
Goda Zira opened its mouth, and a blue light began forming from within it.
Ooh, Pretty. Thought Numbuh Three, but she suddenly heard her friends shouting warnings at her. That usually meant she should move from wherever she was. She hopped straight up in the air, just barely ahead of the blast from Goda Zira's mouth.
That wasn't very nice, trying to hit me while I was down. Three thought. She activated another switch and, outside, Hippy Hop's mouth opened, revealing another set of carrot-torpedoes which launched right at Goda's still-open mouth. He performed another mouth blast to destroy them. He blasted them just as their were inches from his head, causing them to blow up right in his face.
Goda Zira staggered, his eyes were briefly blinded by the close explosion. This gave Numbuh Three ample time to land back on the ground and leap up again, this time tackling the monster right in the gut.
The Kids Next Door were cheering Numbuh Three on, while the Delightful Children just stared. Goda Zira getting knocked onto his back by a giant bunny rabbit wasn't what they had planned.
Numbuh Three waited for Goda Zira to get up before trying to attack again. Though that turned out to be a mistake, because this time Goda anticipated Three's attack and managed to get Hippy Hop in a headlock. Goda might've ended up tearing off the robot's head, but Three activated a defensive weapon. An electric shock ran through the outside hull and shocked Goda. Three managed to squirm herself away and, as Goda stumbled around from the shock, made Hippy Hop leap into the air, landing a jump kick right between the monster's eyes.
This time, when Goda Zira recovered, he had had enough. He let out another mouth blast, right at Numbuh Three. This time, though, Numbuh Three wasn't fast enough to dodge it. It hit Hippy Hop in the back and almost completely immobilized it. Goda approached Hippy Hop. Numbuh Three searched frantically for something she could do, but that last attack left Hippy Hop's systems completely fried. It seemed that it was over. But Goda stopped in front of Hippy Hop and, to everyone's surprise, spoke.
"(You pilot your robot well.)"
Nobody was surprised by this at first. Mostly because the monster had spoken in Japanese and only Numbuh Three had understood that he was actually talking. Her father had a strong belief in knowing the family heritage, so he had made sure Kuki could speak fluent Japanese. Upon hearing Goda Zira's complement, she opened her hatch.
"(Thank you, Mr. Monster!)" she answered.
Now it was starting to dawn on everyone that Numbuh Three and Goda had started speaking to each other.
"(What is your name, little one?) Goda asked.
"(My name is Sanban Kuki. But my friends call me Numbuh Three.) she replied.
"(Well, Numbuh Three, for one so young, you are a strong pilot.)"
"(Really?)"
"(Yes, I hadn't expected a challenge. Those, what did they call themselves?)"
"(Delightful Children from Down the Lane?)"
"(Ah, yes. They said this would be easy. I almost didn't take the job, but the money was good. Now I'm glad I did.)"
"(You're so sweet.)" Numbuh Three said, blushing a bit at the praise.
"(Perhaps, one day, we can battle again.)" Goda said.
"(But didn't they hire you to destroy us?)"
"(Yeah, but that would mean destroying an opponent with a lot of potential. Farewell.)" with that Goda started walking off.
"Bye bye!" Kuki yelled.
"Hey! Wait!" the Delightful Children called. Goda stopped and looked at them.
"We hired you to destroy the Kids Next Door! Now do it!" they ordered. Goda looked at Three.
"(What does 'Delightful' mean, anyway?)" he asked her.
"(Um... it means 'goes well with ketchup'!)" she answered.
"(It does, does it?)" Goda asked, a gleam in his eye. He suspected she wasn't quite telling him the truth. But then... what did he know? Goda turned on the Delightful Children who, upon seeing him lick his chops, got the idea and ran back to their hovercraft, making a mad dash for home. But not before swearing revenge on the Kids Next Door.
The Kids Next Door cheered as Goda chased after the Delightful Dorks. Their enemies had been beat and, more importantly, Numbuh Three was back!
