Kids Next Door

Operation: A.P.P.R.E.N.T.I.C.E.

Chapter 5

Numbah Four shuffled back to the treehouse. When he arrived Numbah One who was sounding the alarm greeted him. "Looks like I got back just in the nick of time eh?" he smirked.

"The moon base just raised the alarm, something is afoot." Numbah One informed the clan. "According to HQ that new 'Comic Fortress' has had several kids enter but never left. We need to go check it out."

"Buh, Comic Fortress? That's where Numbah Three and I just were!" exclaimed Numbah Four, "I could've been kidnapped!" He added as an afterthought in a quiet voice, "I hope she's alright, or that if she's not I get her room, so I can toss all of the accursed rainbow monkey garbage out of it!"

"Of course she's going to be alright," Numbah Five snapped, "we're going to save her."

"Numbah Three may be in danger!" Numbah One asked, concerned about the wellbeing of one of his team members. "Let's get going!"

"Stay alert everyone, we haven't been able to contact Numbah Three since Numbah Four left her at the place," Numbah One ordered, "we don't know who or what we're dealing with?"

Numbah One's voice trailed off, as he was astounded at the long line of kids who were waiting to get into Comic Fortress. "Well I guess there's always the backdoor," he supposed out-loud, as the line would take a good hour at least to get through. The team headed to the back

The luck of some very good luck was with the Kids Next Door that evening, the villains had left their back-door open. Numbah One, Two, Four and Five made their way in without arousing any suspicion. The back door was oddly unguarded.

Numbah Three awoke in a slightly chilly, unfurnished room. At first she wasn't sure what was going on, but figured it couldn't be anything too bad, as she still had happy Rainbow Monkey thoughts in her head. However, her bliss was short-lived, as soon as she tried to move she came to the realization that she was unable to. This distressed her greatly.

A figure in the corner stated, "Everything is going according to plan Boss." The figure lingered, waiting to hear if the Boss approved, it was a safe assumption but one can never be too safe in a the Super Villain business.

"Excellent," the Bosses voice resonated throughout the small dimly lit room, a small mixture of a smile and a smirk appeared on his face, you can't show that you're too pleased if you want to maintain work ethic. It was all working out well, as he had hoped his only concern was that the Kids Next Door would find out and foil his plot.

The figure in the corner bowed, and left. That guy is odd and very formal, the Boss thought, there's something about him.

"Think again Boss!" Numbah One quipped, "We're here and we're going to shut you down!"

"Numbah One of the Kids Next Door!" exclaimed the Boss shaking his fist. "Curse you!"

The Boss had a contingency plan, just for an event such as this. Escape would be assured, or so he thought as a gumball nailed him. Numbah Four grinned triumphantly, but it was all for naught, as the Boss had done what was needed. A ninja robot entered the room, lifted out of a trap door in the floor.

"Kids Next Door Detected," the soulless voice of the robot chirped mechanically. "Initializing Program 04082B."

"Initialize this!" Numbah Five said, as she jump kicked the robot ninja, throwing it off balance. "Numbah Five just kicked that robot's booty."

"Initializing defensive protocol 5892C," announced the robot, taking a defensive stance. "Prepare yourselves, 'Kids Next Door'."
