The 13-year Old Operative

Chapter 5: Secrets Revealed

Note: Numbah 96 will be telling the others what happened to his arm. Instead of writing him talking about it, I wrote how it happened as a flashback. As the flashback goes on, 96 is explaining it.

Normal POV:

Numbahs 1-5 stared in shock at 96's arms. Numbah 86, however, looked mad while staring at the arms.

"What's wrong, 86? Don't like to see your own creation?" Said 96.

"'Own creation'? What are you talking about?" Asked Numbah 4.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER!" Shouted 86. "IF YOU TELL THEM . . ." She threatened to 96.

"I wasn't going to, but, if you insist." Replied 96. "It all started 2 years ago, back when me and 86 were in the same Sector."

Flashback: 2 years ago.

Place: 1 of Father's weapons facility.

Numbah 96 ran down a hall, panting hard and holding a device in his hand.

If I can just find the central computer, I can shut this whole place down.

Then, 96 heard a shrill, Scottish voice.

"96! GET BACK HERE!" Shouted 86. "YOU BOYS DON'T KNOW A THING ON HOW TO CRASH AN ADULT COMPUTER! SO, I SHOULD DO IT TO KEEP YOU FROM BLOWING US ALL UP!"

"REALLY, 86?" Replied 96. "IF GIRLS DO BETTER AT THESE THINGS, THAN WHY DID I PASS THE COMPUTER SKILLS COURSE WHILE YOU HAD TO REDO THE COURSE?" Shouted 96.

96 laughed when he heard Numbah 86 curse out loud.

After 5 minutes of running and shouting, 96 made it to the central computer room. He stared at the computer for a few seconds, and then walked up to the console and connected the device to the console.

The small computer in his hand was designed to hack into any computer and crash the computer, should the person know how.

Numbah 96 stood there, pressing the small buttons on the computer when 86 ran up and pushed him.

"Out of my way, stupid. I'll handle this."

"86, you don't know the first thing about . . ." Said 96.

Suddenly, 86 punched 96 so hard that he crashed into one of the cabinets on the wall, which knocked it over. The heavy cabinet fell on top of 96 and held him down. He was however, able to move his arms.

"Now then, to stop Father's weapons factory and prove that girls are smarter than boys!" Shouted 86.

Numbah 86, of course, had no idea how to use the crasher, so she just kept pressing buttons.

Suddenly, the screen showed a message in bright green letters. The message said, " Weapon Production stopped."

"HA! I DID IT!" Shouted 86.

Then a new message appeared: " Self-destruction of base in 30 seconds."

"Nice going, 86. Now get this thing off me so we can leave." Said 96.

"You're on your own, 96!" Said Numbah 86. And with that she left.

"Numbah 86, get back here!" Shouted 96.

"Self-Destruction in 15 seconds. 14 , 13 , 12 . . ."

"86!"

"10, 9, 8, 7 . . ."

"GET BACK HERE!"

"4 . ."

"86! GET BACK HERE!"

"2,1."

Numbah 96 saw a giant explosion from the computer. The explosion enveloped him in seconds.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Flashback over.

Numbah 96 stared at 86 with fury.

"That was the most horrible experience of my LIFE." Said 96. "And it was all 86's fault!"

"IT WAS NOT!" Said 86. The others stared at her.

"Fortunately, global command sent a rescue team after the explosion."Said 96.

"SEE! I HELPED!" Said 86.

"You did call global command. However, you called them 3 HOURS AFTER THE EXPLOSION! I WAS LEFT THERE, WITH BOTH OF MY ARMS BURNED OFF, WHILE YOU DID WHATEVER!" Said 96. "When I made it to global command, I told them what happened. I also told them about the fact that 86 caused the explosion and how she left me!"

Numbah's 1-5 glared at 86.

"Numbah 362 went insane after she heard. She screamed her head off at 86, and nearly blew a blood vessel when she found out that she called 3 hours after the explosion. She got in so much trouble, global command sent 86 back from an operative to a cadet."

"The KND's scientists," Continued 96. "Realized that my arms were in such bad form, that they had to install these robotic hands. It was shortly after that they realized that these hands gave me incredible strength. They gave me tests on my arms. They planned to give every operative these arms, but they would be able to wear over their human hands."

"86, however, stopped that plan."

Flashback: 8 months ago.

Place: Kids Next Door Testing Room.

The five Kids Next Door scientists were watching numbah 96 test on the machines. So far, he could lift weights 12 times as much as his, block laser and ice cream fire, and they were now testing to see if he could break through walls.

"Ok, 96." Said a Kids Next Door scientist over an intercom. "We're going to test you to see if you can break through walls. Try this iron wall."

A piece of iron the size of a medium door came from the ground. Numbah 96 punched the piece of metal and broke it like a wet piece of 1-ply toilet paper.

"Good, now try this steel door." Said the scientist.

Once again, 96 punched the door and it broke like a karate master breaking a piece of wood.

"Now then, this last test will be a double-reinforced door."

Then, 86, along with the rest of the cadets, came in on a trip to see the training room. When she looked, she saw that 96 was being tested. She also saw the button to activate the KND's most recent experiment: A laser barrier. Slowly, so that no one would notice, she walked up to the button and pressed it just as 96 punched at the wall.

The blue laser popped out of the floor and was in front of the door just as 96 punched it.

The barrier was designed to shock the person who touched it. As soon as 96 punched it, a powerful electric current flowed to his arm, then to the rest of him.

"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Screamed Numbah 96 as the electricity flowed through his body. He tried to pull his arm away with the other, but it only resulted in him getting more electricity in his body.

While all of the scientists rushed to help 96, Numbah 86 increased the barriers power. Little by little, the barrier's power and 96's shouts of pain became stronger and louder.

Suddenly, the shield and 96's arms exploded, making every scientist fly around the room. When the smoke cleared, 96's arms were a wreck.

Flashback over.

"After that incident, the scientists repaired my arms, but took away the strength, thinking it would cause more damage to me than my enemies."

"I understand that much." Said Numbah 4. 'But how did 86 become head of decommissioning?"

"I can answer that." Said 86. "Hard work, dedication . . ."

" Being a kiss-up, hacking into the teacher's computer to change your statics." Replied 96.

"OK, Numbah 5 get's that. But what's this about 'Finishing what you started'?" Said Numbah 5.

"It's self explanatory. I am going to finish the fight we started 2 years ago, when 86 ruined my life!"

"How did she ruin it? She practically helped you." Said Numbah 2.

"You think this helps! You think that having robotic hands helps me! IT DOESN'T! These arms are a curse! I would give ANYTHING for a pair of regular arms. To be able to wake up peacefully, instead of the pain that comes with my arms in the morning."

"And now, to finish this."

With that, the blue beams surrounded 96's arms again, and he jumped at 86.
