Chapter 3: Taking the Bait
As King Goobot's flagship was landing nearby Restroville, the League of Villains took along with them with Sector V. As King Goobot entered a shuttle along with Beautiful Gorgeous, the Junkman, Dr. Calamitus and Sector V in hand-cuffs toward Retroville. As the shuttle landed nearby the town, King Goobot got out some uniforms and handed them over to the Junkman.
"What the heck are these?" asked Number 1 to the King Goobot.
"These are duck lover scout uniforms" replied King Goobot, "you see, Jimmy's father is quite fond of ducks. And we need you five to be the diversion."
"I'm not going to put on some cruddy dorky uniform!" shouted Number 4 as he threw his to the floor.
"Oh Junkman" said King Goobot as he snapped his fingers.
Suddenly the Junkman lifted Number 4 up with one of his arms.
"So what choices do you have?" asked King Goobot, "Either wear these uniforms or else!"
"Come on Wally" said Number 3 as she was putting on her uniform, "it's not so bad. I think duckies are cute."
"See" said King Goobot, "she has the right idea."
"Fine" grumbled Number 4 as the Junkman placed him down on the floor, "I'll wear your stupid uniform."
"And don't forget your lines" said Beautiful Gorgeous.
As Sector V got out of the shuttle, Number 2 was worried on how to get out of the situation they were in.
"I don't like this one bit" whispered Number 2 to Number 1.
"I think for the time being we have no choice" said Number 1.
"We have to come up with some sort of plan to escape these people" said Number 5.
"No whispering!" shouted Dr. Calamitus, "Don't think we're stupid that we can't hear what you are saying. Now move along!"
As they got to the Neutron residence, King Goobot ordered Number 1 to press the door bell.
"While you are here creating a diversion for Mr. and Mrs. Neutron" said King Goobot, "we'll be in the back trying to get into Jimmy's lab."
As King Goobot, Beautiful Gorgeous, Dr. Calamitus and the Junkman hid around the corner to watch, Number 1 pressed the door. Hue Neutron was the one to answer it.
"Hello Mr. Neutron" said Number 1.
"Well, what can I do for you kids?" asked Hue, "You have some fancy uniforms. Do you belong to some sort of scout troop or something like it? I use to be a member of one of those."
"Actually" said Number 3, "we're from the Duck Lovers Scouts."
"You mean to say there is an actual group of kids who are duck lovers?" asked Hue with an astonished voice.
As Hue Neutron led Sector V in, King Goobot signaled the others to head toward the back where Jimmy's lab was located at. When they got to the door of the shed, King Goobot took out a strange mini-computer and hooked it up to the door of the shed.
"Are you sure this invention of yours will work?" asked King Goobot to Dr. Calamitus.
"I am certain of it" replied Dr. Calamitus, "it has already been tested before."
As King Goobot pressed several buttons on the mini-computer, a strange electronic current came back from the door shed and gave King Goobot a shock.
"Are you okay?" asked the Junkman as smoke could still be seen coming out from King Goobot.
"Jimmy must have placed an anti-hacking program as to protect it from any intruders from getting into his lab" said King Goobot recovering from the shock.
"Then we're going to have to break down the door the old fashion way" said the Junkman as he cracked his fists together.
The Junkman tried to bash down the door, with all of his fists, but it was no use. The door stood still. Then Beautiful Gorgeous decided it was her turn to try it.
"Let me handle this" said Beautiful Gorgeous.
She then gave the door a good kick, and the door fell down to the ground.
"Now if you don't mind" said King Goobot, "let's head in Jimmy's lab and see what type of device could have created that wormhole."
Meanwhile, Hue was busy showing Sector V his duck collection.
"And this is my duck collection" said Hue.
"Aw, those duckies look cute" said Number 3 as she pointed to them.
As Number 1 looked around the room, he signaled Hue to come into a different room.
"So you must be the leader of this scout troop?" asked Hue.
"Actually no" replied Number 1, "you have been tricked by a group of villains. We are merely a diversion so that they can get into your son's lab."
"Oh you mean Jimmy's club house?" asked Hue.
"Yes" replied Number 1, "anyway. We are from the Kids Next Door. We were being chased down by Father and a strange wormhole appeared. As we were going through the wormhole, I noticed a kid with a big head and lots of hair."
"Hey, that's Jimmy alright" said Hue, "now where is he?"
"I think he has traveled into our world" replied Number 1, "we need to know what type of an invention could have created something like that wormhole."
"I think it might be that time warppy device" said Hue, "I am now forbidden to use it after I made the lives of everybody around me crazy."
"Hmm, a device that can control time and space" said Number 1, "that is an invention I do not want to see Father get his hands on it. But if your son has a spare, we might be able to use it to get him back."
"Hue" said Judy as she came into the room in a worried look, "there are some strange people in the back trying to get into Jimmy's shed. And who are these kids dressed in these uniforms?"
"These are duck lover scouts" said Hue.
"Look" said Number 1 as he placed his hand flat on his face, "haven't you been paying attention what I have been trying to tell you!"
"So you are not duck lovers?" asked Hue in a sad voice.
"No" replied Number 1, "I have been trying to convince you that your son has gone through a wormhole into our world and we are in his. Apparently the adults are just like the ones in our world."
"Our son went through a wormhole!" cried Judy in an astonished voice.
"Yes" replied Number 1, "and we need some equipment that will stop those villains from taking the device that your son has used that created that wormhole."
"So what do you have in mind?" asked Judy.
"Do you have an ice cream place we can visit?" asked Number 1, "We're good at creating ice cream based weapons."
"Certainly" replied Judy, "follow me. Hue, you stay here."
"Wait, I thought they were duck lovers!" shouted Hue as Judy was leaving with Number 1 and Sector V.
Meanwhile back in the world of the Kids Next Door, Number 86 and her squad landed near Father's base along with Jimmy and his friends.
"So you remember what to do?" asked Number 86.
"Certainly" replied Jimmy, "we are suppose to go into the base and try to convince Father and his loyalists that we are going to help."
"Good" said Number 86, "remember you five have communicators. We'll stay in touch that way. We don't want Father to know how to use that time warp device."
As Jimmy and his friends approached the entrance of Father's base, two Ice Cream guards stopped them in their tracks.
"You" said the first Ice Cream man, "place your hands up in the air."
"Oh my" said Jimmy in a sarcastic voice, "whatever shall we should do?"
"Yea" replied Cindy, "we are helpless children."
"Come on" said the second Ice Cream man, "let's bring these five kids in. Tell Father we have the genius kid with us."
As the Ice Cream men brought Jimmy and his friends to Father's special chambers, the doors slammed shut behind them.
"Greetings once more" said Father as he turned around from his chair he was sitting on.
"I have decided to help you with that invention of mine" said Jimmy.
"A wise decision" said Father as he took it out from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Father then pressed a button that was on his security console on the table and suddenly several teenagers with armor came in and took away the communicators from Jimmy and his friends.
"You think I would be that stupid enough to take a bait from the Kids Next Door?" asked Father.
"How did you know we were working for them?" asked Libby as she was struggling to get out of the hands of the teenagers who were holding her.
"It's against Kids Next Door rules to abandon children with me" replied Father, "but you five shall stay here as my prisoners and work for me instead."
"We'll never join you" said Jimmy.
"Actually Jimmy" said Sheen, "I don't want to see his flames again when he gets mad."
"Yea" said Carl in his cowardly voice, "it's scary for us."
"Come on guys" said Jimmy, "we can't let those kids down."
"So, what would it be?" asked Father.
"We'll never join you!" replied Jimmy in a defiant voice.
"Then I have no choice" said Father, "I am going to tell you a little secret."
"What's that?" asked Cindy.
"I now know how this device works!" replied Father.
"But how?" asked Jimmy.
"I have my own scientists look at it" replied Father as he stood up and walked around the room.
"So you didn't need my help anyway?" asked Jimmy.
"Of course not" replied Father, "I have my own rocket scientists to work on how your time warp device works. Let me show you a video demonstration."
As Father pressed a button to activate a television movie screen, he then signaled Cree who was controlling it to place in the video. In the video, Father pointed the time warp device at some broken glass. He then pressed the backwards button and the glass was automatically fixed. After the demonstration Father turned off the video and turned toward Jimmy and his friends.
"Since I don't need you anymore" said Father, "I am planning to use your invention to destroy the Kids Next Door moon base. You see, a few months ago my loyalists and I built a large super weapon the Kids Next Door didn't want to be built. It was destroyed by the Kids Next Door with the help of some of my former loyalists."
"You'll never get away with this Father!" replied Jimmy as he shook his fist.
"Yea" said Cindy.
"And when I am done with that" said Father, "I am planning to open a wormhole into your world and retrieve your inventions for my own use. Now, take them away!"
The armored teenagers then took away Jimmy and his friends and placed them in prison until Father was ready to give a demonstration for the total destruction of the Kids Next Door.
