Kids Next Door
Operation: A.P.P.R.E.N.T.I.C.E.
Chapter Six
"Initializing defensive protocol 5892C," announced the robot, taking a defensive stance. "Prepare yourselves, 'Kids Next Door'."
Numbah Four made his move then, ducking and rolling around the mechanical ninja and pulled out his bubblegum gun and fired right at the robot's back, gumming up its works.
Seeing the enemy weakened Numbah Two sprang to action and jump into the air and tried to land a kick on the robot's head, but missed, nailing the ninja on the shoulder. Unprepared for missing his target, Numbah Two was not able to catch himself and landed on his back with a thud.
The robot ninja recoiled from the two attacks, it barely was able to keep from falling over, it launched shrunken into the air and pinned Numbah Two to the ground he lie on. It rotated its head around to see Numbah Four, and breathed fire in the boy's general direction. Numbah Four was able to somersault out of the way, and return fire, with his bubble gum gun.
Luck was with Numbah Four that fateful evening, he managed to hit the robot in a critical area, causing it to shoot sparks and babble incoherently for a few second before it turned off.
Numbah Five kicked the robot ninja to make sure it was powered down. "Good!" she spat.
…………………….
"I was soooo worried!" whined Numbah Three, arms flailing by her side with excitement, in a high-pitched voice, shrill with worry and relief. "Thank you for saving me everyone!"
"I still can't believe the Boss got away," Numbah One said shaking his head, he blamed himself more than any of his teammates, but it still didn't sit well with him. "It wasn't just you that they kidnapped was it Numbah Three?"
"There's a room with the 'normal kids'," Numbah three tried to explain using wild hand gestures.
"Hey Three, ya got something on your back," Numbah Five stated, grabbing a piece of paper off of the other girl's green shirt. She flipped it open and read it to herself and then handed it to Numbah One.
"Dear Kids Next Door,
"As you probably realize by now, my associates and I have a spy hidden deep within your organization. Your weaknesses appear on our daily memos and the destruction is assured to be swiftly forthcoming.
"Sincerely,
"The Boss."

A message was sent to the moonbase, it was rather short, and had an attachment.
"Numbah EightySix - We have a problem, see attached- Numbah One"
After reading the attachment and rereading the note from Numbah One, Numbah EightySix concluded, "Never send a boy to do…"
And with that she was off…
