Chapter Title: Under Siege
KND aircraft, about 1000 feet above sea level
Numbah 274 grimaced, he had barely escaped from the WOLF that attacked the primary HQ of the KND. The WOLF had been unlike any machine he had faced before. It had clearly been made with 2X4 technology, but it had the ability to repair itself.
Several KND operatives had tried to stop it, but they all ended up captured in nets fired by the WOLF. 274 had managed to board a craft and escape, but the WOLF had fired several rounds from a built-in, marble- shooting gun at his craft. It had sustained some damage.
He flew over other KND bases to see how the other operatives fared. Since the Nerds had controlled the KND's computer and communications network, he had no way of contacting the other KND about their situation.
But, he thought as he saw the other KND bases, communications would have been useless any way. In every KND base he flew over he saw only one scene: KND operatives captured and KND bases destroyed by WOLF units. And 274 knew better than to take on all those WOLF units alone in a damaged craft.
Then, as 274 passed over the Arctic, something caught his eye. It was a kid dressed in a thick coat, ski cap, and ski goggles. He was running from a WOLF.
"30C..." he muttered. 274 thought it over. The situation being as it is, every free KND member counted. And he could do a quick pick up for 30C, it would have to be really fast, though, since the damage his craft sustained would make it next to useless against a WOLF.
Numbah 274 sent the craft into a steep dive, aiming right at the WOLF. His craft sped at the robot with shocking speed. Just as the craft was less than 50 yards off the ground he pulled up and launched a missile. The missile slammed into the WOLF, blowing it up.
"Come on!" 274 screamed at 30C as he let the craft hover a few feet from the ground. 274 shot a look at the WOLF, it was already starting to reassemble itself.
30C jumped in and muttered "Thanks." just as the WOLF reassembled . 274 puuled the craft up and started to speed away. But not before the WOLF fired a few shots, damaging the craft further.
"Aw, cripes!" cursed 274. "She won't hold for long."
"Let's head for the nearest KND base." Suggested 30C.
"All the bases I've passed by are gone." 274 said. "The WOLF units neutralized all of them."
"Are there any KND bases you haven't passed by?"
274 looked at a computer screen. "Yeah, the base run by Numbahs 1 through 5."
"Yeah, barely," 274 said. "But we're not even sure if a WOLF hasn't gotten to them."
"Well, we don't exactly have another choice."
As if in agreement to 30c, the ship started to shudder violently. "Oh man," 30C muttered. "I hope we make it."
Numbah 1's Team, wherever their base is
"Come on, Kids Next Door." Numbah 1 yelled. "Let him have it!"
He and his team fired weapon they had their hands on at the WOLF as it forced its way into their base.
"Crud!" cursed 4. "The bloody thing keeps on reassemblin' itself!"
A wall suddenly burst open, through the gap entered a bunny-shaped robot.
"Alright." Numbah 5 said. "It's 3 in the Hippity Hop."
The bunny robot charged, its head slammed into the WOLF. The WOLF flew back and slammed into the wall.
"Way to go, Numbah 3!" cheered 2.
The WOLF picked itself up. It stared at the Hippity Hop, calculating its next move. Suddenly, the WOLF jumped. It landed on the bunny robot's head and started to rip it open.
"Hey!" Numbah 3 yelled from inside the bunny robot. "NO, no, bad doggy!"
Numbah three brought up one of Hippity Hop's forelimbs. She aimed it at the WOLF and struck. But the WOLF jumped away, causing the bunny robot to slap its own head off.
"Numbah 3!" shouted Numbah 4. He ran toward the disembodied head of the robot bunny. Numbah 3 stepped out of the head, dizzily.
"3, you awright?" 4 asked.
"Why is everything spinning?" 3 said woozily. Suddenly, a net hit 3 and wrapped around her.
"What the heck?!" 4 spun around, it was the WOLF. Numbah 4 managed to leap out of the way as the robot fired a net at him.
"Hah! Missed." 4 said. He leapt at the WOLF, trying to tackle it down. "Now it's mah turn!"
The WOLF batted Numbah 4 away easily. It fired another net at 4, it hit.
"Let me go!" raged 4. "Let me go, ya oversized dingo!"
The WOLF seemed to smile as it kicked the ensnared Numbah 4, sending him into a wall and knocking him unconscious. It then turned to face the three remaining operatives.
"Oh man, this sucks." 2 muttered.
"Come on, we have to try and bring it down." Said 1.
"How?" 5 asked. "We practically tried everything."
"I don't know." 1 said in a frustrated tone. "But it must have some kind of weakness."
"Duck and cover!" yelled 2. The three leapt out of the way as the WOLF fired a barrage of nets.
Numbah 2 picked up a weapon and aimed at the WOLF. "How'd you like to get netted up yourself?!"
He fired, snaring the robot in a net.
"Good job, 2." 5 said as she fired a freeze ray at the netted robot.
"Well," she said when the WOLF was fully encased in ice. "Looks like we did find a way to stop it after all."
She had just stopped speaking when the block of ice started to shake. Cracks started appearing on its surface...
The WOLF let out a mechanical roar as it broke the ice and the net. Its robotic eyes glowed menacingly as it glared at the three operatives.
"Cripes," moaned Numbah 5. "This is like something out of a bad horror movie."
Numbah 274's craft, passing overhead
"Okay," 30C said, looking down at the scene below. "It looks like they haven't been captured yet."
"Yeah, but the WOLF they're fighting is still active." 274 said. Alarms started sounding inside the craft. "Plus, our craft is falling apart."
"What do we do now? If we eject and join the fight we'll just end up captured too. There's no way to beat a self-repairing robot with the weapons we have." 30C pointed out.
"No..." 274 said, an idea forming in his head. "But if we do sufficient damage it might not be able to rebuild itself."
"But how? We don't have the right kind of weapons."
"Who said anything about weapons?"
"Huh?" 30C said quizzically. 274 just smiled.
"At the right speed and angle, this craft should be enough to do the kind of damage we want."
"Are you nuts?!" yelled 30C, realizing what 274 was up to.
"Why not?" said 274. "The ship's falling apart anyway. Just make sure you're strapped into your ejection seat."
"Great," 30C mumbled. "We're gonna go kamikaze and you're as calm as ever. Just friggin' great."
274 just smiled. "Hey, all in a day's work."
He steered the craft into the correct direction and started to dive...
Author's Note: Well, that was Chapter Two. I'll try to get Chapter Three out as soon as possible. As always, review.
