The 13-year Old Operative

Chapter 3: First Encounter

Note: For those of you wondering why Numbah 4 isn't jealous of Numbah 3 liking Numbah 96 is because he's a big fan of Numbah 96.

Shadow's POV:

I woke up a few hours later. The crash really took a toll at my head. I got up and walked out of the pod, dizzy as much as possible. I looked ahead and saw an old abandoned warehouse a few yards ahead.

Funny, I thought, I could've sworn I set the pod to land me in front of Sector B's tree house.

I stood there for about 5 minutes until my head cleared up. Suddenly, I heard jet engine's. I looked up and saw a KND SCAMPER coming closer and closer. I ran towards the warehouse, ignoring the pain in my head.

Normal POV:

The SCAMPER landed next to the escape pod, just close enough to blow it away with the rockets. As soon as it landed, Numbahs 1-5 walked off of the beach holding different weapons. Numbah 1 was using a SCAMPP, a laser weapon made out of a glass botttle, and a soup can. Numbah 2 used a gun that fires salsa. Numbah 3 had not a weapon, but a handful of flowers she planned to give to 96. Numbah 4 was holding an autograph book and a pen. And Numbah 5 had a SPLANKER in her hand.

The five of them walked up to the pod. Numbah 2 opened the door and stepped inside. After a few couple of minutes, Numbah 2 stepped out.

"I didn't find him." Said Numbah 2.

"Numbah 5 thinks we should look in that warehouse over there." Said Numbah 5.

"Yeah, while we were landing, I thought I saw someone in there." Said Numbah 3.

"COME ON! MAYBE IT'S NUMBAH 96!" Shouted Numbah 4. Before anyone could do anything, he ran inside. Everyone else followed.

Obviously, the warehouse hadn't been used in years. Dust covered every inch of the warehouse. As they stepped inside, Numbah 2 pulled out an ultraviolet flashlight. The light could show things that human eyes couldn't see. He aimed the light at the floor, and saw bootprints on the ground.

"Hey guys, I found some prints."

Numbah 2 and the others followed the tracks to the center of the warehouse. Suddenly, the tracks stopped. They looked everywhere, but they didn't see any other bootprints.

"Where could he be? The tracks don't lead anywhere." Said Numbah 1.

"Maybe you should look behind you!" Said a strange voice.

They all turned around and saw someone jump to the ground.

Shadow's POV:

I saw the five kids walk into the warehouse. Suckers feel right into my trap. I let them walk around. I saw the fat one pull out a flashlight and shine it on the ground. Darn, he found my prints. I saw the five of them follow my tracks into the middle. I figured it was time for them to know me. So, I shouted at them.

"Maybe you should look behind you!" After that, I jumped down.

Normal POV:

Numbah 96 jumped down to the same level as the others. Numbah 2 was the first to do anything about it.

"It's time for you to go down!" Shouted Numbah 2. He pulled the trigger on his gun and fired salsa at Numbah 96.

Of course, 96 was prepared. As soon as Numbah 2 fired, he pulled out a small rock he found and threw it. The rock clogged up the gun and caused it to explode, spraying red hot salsa everywhere. Numbah 2 was hit the most and fell to the ground.

"Eat this, teenager!" Shouted Numbah 1. He pulled out his SCAMPP and blasted Numbah 96.

As he did with the guards on the moonbase, 96 pulled out the glass crystal and held it on his hand. The crystal acted like a mirror and reflected the laser back at Numbah 1, only ten times as stronger. The laser made him look like overcooked sausage.

Numbah 3 walked up to 96, giggling.

"Hi! My name is , uh, Numbah 3, and I got these flowers for you!"

Numbah 96 said nothing, but he grabbed Numbah 3's sweater sleeve and spun he like a yo-yo. Then, after eight spins he let her go straight at Numbah 2 as he started to get up. The both of them fell in a pile of red salsa.

"Hey, Numbah 96. I'm, like, your biggest fan, and I was wondering if you could sign my autograph book!"Said Numbah 4.

Numbah 96 took the book and pen and signed the inside of it. After a minute, he gave it back to Numbah 4.

"Cool! Thanks!" Shouted Numbah 4. He opened it and read out loud.

"'Never keep your eyes off an enemy, you idiot. Signed, Numbah 96.'"

"Hey, what's that supposed to . . ." Said Numbah 4.

Suddenly, Numbah 96 did a roundhouse kick and hit Numbah 4 in the face. The blow sent him into the sizzling pile of flesh that was Numbah 1.

"AAAAAAAAGH!" Shouted Numbah 5 as she jumped at Numbah 96. As soon as she got close, she pulled the trigger and released the wooden plank. The plank made a thwack! As the plank hit 96 square in the head. With a grunt, he fell to the ground.

"You were tough, 96, but Numbah 5 is gonna bring you in." Said Numbah 5 as she got the handcuffs ready.

But in a flash, 96 got up as though the hit was nothing but a leaf in the wind. He grabbed Numbah 5 by the throat and held her for a few seconds.

She kicked, hoping to hit him, until 96 tossed her to the rest. Together, Sector V laid in a pile of burnt clothes and red salsa.

Too easy. Thought Numbah 96. With that, he walked out.

1 hour later.

The five KND members woke up in a daze.

"Drats, he got away!" Murmured Numbah 2.

"He didn't take my flowers!" Cried Numbah 3.

"He signed my book!" Shouted Numbah 4.

"Cough, Cough, Cough!"Coughed Numbah 5.

"Well, team, it looks like we'll have to go to the Kids Next Door Moon base to find him." Said Numbah 1, still looking like an overcooked sausage.

With that, the 5 of them walked into the SCAMPER and set the coordinates to the moon base.

Shadow's POV:

What idiots. I thought. These sad excuses for operatives have no Idea I stowed away in the ship's fuel room. They'll take me to the moon base, where I have unfinished business with Numbah 86.

What is 96 planning on doing at the moon base? Does he and 86 have a shadowy past? Stay 'tooned and find out.

Note: Their past has NO romance, only hatred, and jealousy.
