--
Three weeks after Numbah 234 tried to take the ex-members of Sector V to be decommissioned again, the five friends had recovered most of their memories. Nigel could remember the hours he spent on a new invention and didn't have enough sleep for an award ceremony. Hoagie remembered the time when he, single-handed, defeated Grandma Stuffem. Kuki remembered when she found the real Rainbow Monkeys ("I want one!") as Wally could remember when he saved all of the girls at his dad's work from a one-way trip to Pluto. Abby could remember the way she took on Stickybeard the Pirate. They were calling each other by their codenames again, unless called by a teacher, and they would sit around at break times and remember the good old days. They almost forgot about Lizzie and Fanny until they saw them talking together and shooting dark looks at them. But sadly, the five of them didn't have all of their memories; there were still gaps and blank spaces in a lot of their memories.
"Okay, we went to the beach one day" began Hoagie and they all nodded.
"But I went home because I hate the beach" added Nigel and they all nodded again.
"Yeah, Numbah 5 remembers that argument" she grinned at her boyfriend "but Numbah 2 and Numbah 5 played volleyball or something like that while Numbah 3 built a sand castle then three…"
"HEY! I was buried in the sand! You left me out!" said Wally pretending to be offended and Kuki giggled.
"Yeah Numbah 4, you were buried in the sand" said Kuki "but then three big guys threw a big rock at me and crushed the castle! They then took me away and Numbah 4 told them to put me down… and that's when I can't remember!"
"We can't remember either," said Nigel and they moved on to another subject, "so, what about that test in English? Anyone had it?"
"Numbah 4 and I did," said Kuki and Wally groaned, "he remembers how he got the simplest questions wrong. He wrote 'What play?' on the question 'Write down the passage from the following Shakespeare play with three characters, one couple and a sword fight?'"
That got everyone, except Wally, laughing. He explained that his mind was elsewhere but they didn't believe him. The bell for the next session rang and they all pulled out their timetables.
"I have…" began Wally when there was an announcement over the intercom.
"Could the following students report to the head office" said the voice "Nigel Uno, Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr., Kuki Sanban, Wallabee Beatles"
"I keep telling them, it's WALLY!" shouted Numbah 4.
"And Abigail Lincoln" finished the speaker as the five friends shrugged and walked to the office, where two people were waiting for them. The principle and a teenaged boy with sandy hair and an evil grin on his face.
"This boy has come in and told me that you are requested to go with him immediately" said the principle, Mrs. Matt, "he has important news apparently about your families, and he claims that he is a friend of yours"
"I don't like this kid," said Wally to Abby "but I say we play along, just to see what he's up to"
"Thank you Mrs. Matt" spoke up Abby "we shall go and hear this news"
The principal stood aside as the boy led them out of the building and to a small ally way in which a box was placed against a wall. The boy walked down half of the ally and then turned to the five friends, Wally and Kuki at the front, the others behind them. The boy grinned and began to speak.
"Greetings peasants, I do hope you remember a king, especially a king as well known as me," said the boy but everyone just stared blankly "but not all of you are peasants, you do have the lovely fair maiden with you"
"Wait, I remember you! Your that kid that built the world's biggest sandcastle" said Wally "you were on the news at about seven in the morning a couple of weeks ago!"
"Ah, the press loves me," said the boy "but not as much as I love this fair maiden" He walked over to Kuki and took her hand in his "at last, I have found you"
"Are you talking to me?" said Kuki and the boy nodded with shinning eyes "but I've never seen you before in my life!"
"That's not true my princess" said the boy and he squeezed her hand tighter "we met at the beach and then he took you away from me" he kind of spat out the word 'he' and glared at Wally who glared back.
"I remember you now, Sandy!" said Wally and he had to restrain himself from jumping on the boy "you're the wacko that kidnapped Numbah 3!"
"That's King Sandy to you wild one!" said Sandy and Kuki pulled her hand out of his grip "princess…"
"I remember now," said Kuki "but aren't you Mus…"
"DO NOT SPEAK OF HER" roared Sandy and he turned from Kuki to the blonde boy beside her "you took my princess away from me, I should have finished you off long ago! Prepared to duel for the maiden's heart!"
"What are you talking about?" asked Wally as Sandy walked over to the box on the wall.
"We both love the maiden, both yours and my heart beat for the same girl so now we fight for her!" said Sandy as he opened the box to reveal two olden day swords. Real ones, "a fight to the death"
"Hey, Numbah 3's not some trophy that can be tossed around!" said Wally "I'm not going to fight, plus I only saved her last time because she only owed me a quarter"
"Then you shall die," Said the self proclaimed King as he pointed the tip of one sword at Wally's neck.
"Wally, I don't want you to get hurt" said Numbah 3 "and even though you don't want to fight, I want you to because you could defend yourself better in this fight than with you defenceless"
"I guess Kuki" said Wally and he held his hand out for the sword "okay Sandy, lets do this"
Before the fight began, Kuki gave Wally a quick peck on the cheek for good luck and Wally blushed deeply.
"Ah, so your heart does burn with the desire for the maiden"
"SHE JUST OWED ME A QUARTER! Why does everybody think I saved her because I like her?" screamed the blonde as Kuki stared at him in a confusing way "that way…"
Wally held his sword up and the duel began as Abby said "man, can't we have a normal school day for once?"
"I now what you mean" said Nigel " I mean we have been getting test after test after test the last few weeks and if we can't handle it this year, we definitely won't handle it next year"
"I mean KND wise" sighed Abby and jabbed him in the stomach playfully.
"Oh"
Sandy jabbed at his opponent, who blocked, and then he turned and went for the back, which was blocked too. Wally then ran at Sandy, feinted a stab and went for his legs, but he was parried. Back and forth the swords clashed, the sound of metal on metal echoed through the ally way and the cheers of Wally's friends. Wally dodged and attacked while King Sandy did the same, neither one was winning but neither one was loosing either. Every so often, Wally would jump up and ram the sword downwards towards Sandy's head but even though the blow was strong, the king would always block it. The two were parrying and attacking for twenty minutes until Sandy broke off and ran down the ally to an opening. Wally, of coarse, followed and found himself in a park with a large fountain in the middle.
"Now see if you can beat me in a more difficult environment, peasant" said the sandy haired boy and ran behind some trees.
"Man this kid does not give up," said Hoagie and he motioned for the other three to make a plan. Sandy was now weaving in and out of trees and every few minutes, Wally would catch up and attack, but he was blocked. Wally then ran into the middle of a clearing and threw a nut, which was on the ground beside him, at his opponent, causing Sandy to rush at the blonde. Sandy then jabbed twice at Wally's stomach and swiftly swiped at his arm, cutting it.
"ARGH!" cried Numbah 4 and fell down onto his knees. Sandy then crouched and cut his right leg, causing him to scream again, and then kicked his arm and Wally's sword flew out of his hand and landed by the others.
"Wally!" said Abby and made to run forward but Nigel stopped her, "what are you doing?"
"I'm stopping you"
"But he could die!" shouted Abby in hysterics "he's my best friend!"
"But look" was her boyfriend's reply.
Wally was holding his arm and looking up at Sandy, who had a sword at his neck. He growled but knew if he moved, his moments would be over. Sandy threw back his head and laughed.
"Ah, you peasant, you were fun at first but you were no match for a King, no match at all" said the pompous King and he kicked Wally onto his back, "now, any last words?"
"Yeah" said a weak Wally "why?"
"'Why'?" asked Sandy, confused.
"Why did you decide to kill me, last time we saw you, you were about eight or something?" said Numbah 4 "do you want Kuki that much that you're willing to take a life?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You were bought out weren't you!" said Wally, smirking a bit "someone hired you as a thug!"
"I've had enough of you," said Sandy, raising his sword to strike "now the maiden shall be mine!"
Almost everyone shut their eyes, including Wally, as Sandy started to thrust the gleaming sword at the Australian.
"Goodbye Kuki" whispered Wally and he prepared for the worst and instead of pain, he heard the clink of a sword and Sandy gasping.
Wally opened his eyes and saw someone in green standing over him with his sword and blocking Sandy's attack. Kuki had saved him.
"How?" said Wally.
"Why?" asked Sandy "why does thy stop my attack"
"How did…?" asked Wally again.
"Because Wally is my friend and I need to protect him" answered Kuki, fire in her eyes "now prepare to fight"
"When did she…?" asked Wally, circling round to see the others, "how could she…?"
Kuki then set off an amazing assault against Sandy and in minutes she had knocked his sword away and had him on his knees, sword at his neck this time.
"Heh, heh, heh, Sandy was beaten by a girl" laughed Wally but then he winced at the pain in his arm.
"NOW!" yelled Sandy and the next thing Wally knew was that he was trapped in a net and his eyes closed.
"Wake up Wally," said a voice and the blonde's eyes flickered open. He was in a large dining room with a long table in the centre and he was sitting at the side in the middle. Across from him was Kuki, awake but looking tired, and a little bit down from him was Abby, still knocked out.
"Ah, yer awake, now we aw can eat," said the voice again and when Wally looked beside him, he found he was sitting beside Fanny, one of the last people he wanted to see.
"Okay, now I'm freaked out!" said Wally "now if you excuse me, I'm going"
"I don't think so peasant," said a voice, Wally knowing it was Sandy, "guards!"
Guards surrounded the three ex Sector V members and one punched Wally, "okay, you have to stop attacking me! You already cut my arm!"
"Ye only have a scar noo" said Fanny and sure enough, Wally saw a scar on his leg and when he lifted up his T-shirt, it was a scar too.
"Oh we have only begun," said Sandy "take them away"
Wally felt himself being lifted from the chair and taken away from Fanny and Sandy and in a few minutes he was thrown into a dungeon and was chained to a wall.
"Hey, these chains are so last millennium!" yelled Wally as the guards went away and shut the door "now to get down from this wall"
He looked at his hands, which were attached to the wall by the wrists, and his feet were attached by his ankles, and then at the others, Abby was also chained like him to the wall but Kuki was only chained at one of her legs to a big heavy ball.
"This will be hard," muttered Wally, noticing they were the only things in the dungeon "Abby! Abby!"
The African American moaned as she woke, panicking when she found she couldn't move her arms.
"Man Abby, I'll admit that you've changed a lot since the KND" said Wally "your not as laid back anymore and more panicky. But how do we get out?"
"Abby doesn't know! Let Kuki get us out for once!" said Numbah 5, still sleepy. Abby didn't have a chance to sleep long because a few guards came in the door and unlocked her chains, taking her away.
Abby was shoved onto a chair and found herself face to face with Lizzie.
"AHHHHH!" said Abby while adjusting to the light of the room "what do you want with Abby?"
"You took Nigel away from me, I've spent hours crying because of you! So now you will pay! Activate electricity!"
At that moment, Abby woke up, because enough watts of electricity to power a lawnmower motor was charged through her. She screamed as loud as she could and somehow she could hear Lizzie laughing. Then blackness.
Wally heard her screams and struggled more to get out. Kuki was sobbing on the floor and he was useless, until he thought (A/N: oh my god! Wally thought!) of an idea.
"Kuki! How do you hold your hair in place?"
"Um… hairpin. Why?" said the Japanese girl looking up at him with moistened eyes.
"Take the clip out and try to get your lock undone! If this works we can save Abby and get out!" said Wally excitedly as Kuki fiddled with the lock.
"Bingo!" said Kuki happily as the lock clicked open and she jumped up and hugged Wally tightly "it worked! It worked! That was brilliant Wally! I'm free!"
"Can't," said Wally, struggling, "breathe"
"Oops" said Kuki blushing and letting go "sorry"
Numbah 4 was about to apologise when the door of the dungeon burst open, two men came in, one unbolted Wally and took him away while the other one chained Abby back to the wall. Neither of them noticed that Kuki was free.
"Sillies!" said Kuki, giggling as she ran over to Abby "hey, you awake?"
The girl just groaned and moved her head a bit so Kuki started to work on the locks. Meanwhile, Wally was struggling with his guard, kicking and punching him, with no effect. Soon, the blonde was shoved into a chair and bolted down as none other but Sandy came into view.
"Aw, crud" said Wally as Sandy sat in the 'throne' in front of him "what do ya want ya has-bin king!"
"I want answers," said Sandy "do you love the maiden?"
"Aw man! Why does everyone ask that!" said Wally as Sandy grinned.
"So the peasant loves the maiden" smirked the king "how charming. Now I could kill you…. Or I could not… its my choice really"
"Hey, I want answers too" shouted Wally as Sandy had walked away from him "why did you get them to capture us just as you were about to lose to Kuki? To ashamed to lose to a girl"
"QUIET!" roared Sandy "I was just saving my life, I was about to give them the signal just as I was about to 'kill' you but my fair maiden stepped in the way. Now, prepare to be shocked. Activate Electricity!"
Like Abby, the electricity was vaulted through him and he yelled in pain. And again, like Abby, he was carried back to his cell, although, he wasn't unconscious. When the guard wasn't expecting it, he kicked him in the groin, as his feet were over the guard's chest, and grabbed the keys to the cell door and bolted like the electricity going through him. He was limping a bit but he still was determined to make it. Reaching the door, he opened it to find Kuki holding a limp Abby on the ground.
"Come on!" said Wally "we need to go now!"
The blonde took Abby as Kuki led the way out, they came to many dead ends and crossroads but after much searching, the found what looked like a back door. Kuki wrenched it open and they all ran out but for some reason, as Wally left the house, he thought he had heard a familiar voice say, "leaving so soon, Wallace?"
After Kuki ran ahead round a corner, Wally heard a scream and groaned.
"Why me?"
The Australian ran round the corner, Abby still in his arms, and found Kuki in the clutches of King Sandy's 'Knights', strange armour and all. Around them were just a few trees and a rubbish bin.
"The King wishes to marry this girl, so you can clear off" said the leading knight, the one holding Kuki, when Wally didn't move the knight spoke again, "get him!"
As the knights walked slowly towards him, Wally put Abby against the wall and put up his dukes. The smallest knight jumped for him but Wally dodged and punched the other knight in the stomach, hurting his own hand in the process. While Wally fought with the knights, Kuki struggled to get out of the leader's grip. She tried hitting, kicking, yelling, hugging, but nothing worked, and her hand was hurting.
"Take this ya cruddy knight" yelled Wally and he kicked the small knight in the back, knocking him out while the other one smacked Wally across the head, sending him flying. The knight then turned Wally onto his back and stepped on his chest, making it hard for Wally to breath and caused him to cough with difficulty. Before the knight pushed his foot down more, a bin lid came out of nowhere and clanged the knight on the head, knocking him out. Wally looked up and saw Abby, swaying slightly and grinning weakly, holding the lid. Wally grinned back and got up, the both of them ready to help Kuki get out of the grip. Numbah 5 distracted the knight by pretending to attack while Wally jumped onto him from behind, covering his eyes. Kuki then took this opportunity to kick his shin and she got free. The three friends then ran for their lives away from the giant mansion. But as they ran out of the garden, high above at the top floor, five blue-eyed freaks laughed with a twenty year old blonde and a twenty five year old black haired girl.
"Right, you understand Hoagie?" said Nigel in his back garden.
"Yes, we go in, you get them while I cover, be as quiet as possible"
"We'll get them back," said Nigel.
"You'll get who back?" said Abby as the two boys turned around in bewilderment "or has Abby been replaced?"
Hoagie and Nigel yelled in delight and Nigel scooped Abby in a hug and they both kissed.
"Don't do that again" said Nigel and Abby grinned.
"Okay, Abby will be good," giggled Numbah 5 and they all laughed with her. They then spent the rest of the day trying to work out why they were kidnapped. It was past four before they split up and went to their separate homes, Abby and Wally walking together and the other going on their own.
"Hey, thanks for saving Numbah 5's life," said Abby and Wally just shrugged while grinning "and Numbah 5 should thank y'all on behalf of Kuki too"
"Hey, its no problem" said Wally as he reached his house "see ya at school tomorrow"
Abby waved but laughed out loud as she walked away. Wally, a little confused, went up to his room and turned on his computer, loading his favourite game, Diablo 2, and played until a message came up saying he had e-mail from Abby.
Yo Wally
Abby was just sending you a reminder that you need to take ya swimming stuff to school tomorrow. Oh and come on ya skateboard or something, I'll meet ya there
See ya
Numbah 5
"Swimming stuff?" muttered Wally "what for?"
He shrugged and continued to play Diablo 2 until his father came home from work. Wally went downstairs and was ready for the series of usual questions that his father asked everyday, he couldn't escape.
"So Sport, how was your day?"
Wally thought about his answer for a sec, "fine"
"How are you mates?"
Tortured and hurt, although two are going out, "fine"
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
Trying to figure out who tried to kill me, "going to school"
"Oh, that's strange Sport, you don't usually do that tomorrow?"
Why, tomorrow's a school day, "sure dad, I'm off to me room"
"Alright Sport and remember you need to pick up Bill from his after school care"
"AH CRUD!" yelled Wally as he shut the door to his bedroom. Bilby 'Bill' Beatles was Wally's brother, eight years old, and some days it was Wally's turn to pick him up. Wally was fine with his brother, unlike Abby and Cree, and he liked to hang out with him sometimes but he wanted to do some stuff that afternoon and picking up his brother took up some valuable time. So thirty minutes later, Wally set out on his skateboard to the local primary school, the one he went to during his KND days. When he arrived he saw Mushi skipping out of the school with two other people, a boy about the same age that looked a bit like Hoagie and Bilby. Bill looked like a miniature version of Wally just a lot smaller and with brown hair and eyes. He wore a black shirt under a denim jacket with faded jeans over white trainers. Wally waved at them and surprisingly, two of them waved back. Running over to him, he saw them all smiling.
"Hey bro, what's happnin'?" asked Bilby, in a kind of quiet rap-like voice, as he lightly punched his brother's outstretched fist.
"Nothing much" replied Wally and he turned to Mushi "hey, I didn't know you knew my brother, Half Pint?"
"Oh we know each other, since his eighth birthday, he's part of the…" started Mushi but the boy that looked like Hoagie covered her mouth.
"You don't talk about stuff like that to the enemy," said the boy and Bill jumped.
"Oh yeah, sorry" said Bilby and he turned to Wally with a fierce look on his face "wouldn't you like to know teenagger!"
Wally and Mushi burst out into laughter "don't worry Numbah 4, he knows, he's a good guy!" said Mushi.
"Yeah, and the word is teenager, only one 'g'" said Wally until he realised what Mushi had said "wait, did you call him Numbah 4?"
Mushi nodded and Wally held out his fist to be punched by his brother again, "man, you got my old Numbah!"
"I did?"
"Yeah! You can follow in my footsteps to be the best hand-to-hand contact person thingy in the history of the KND!" said Wally excitedly but Bilby corrected him.
"Second best, mate," said Bill "cause I'll never be as good as you!"
"That's me boy" said Wally and ruffled his brother's hair as the other boy waved to someone behind him.
"Wally! What are you doing here?"
Turning around, the ex Numbah 4 spotted the ex Numbah 2 coming towards him. Hoagie reached them and patted the mini-him beside him.
"I'm picking up me bro" said Wally and he sent Bill over to get his bike from the locks while he talked with the others.
"Same!" said Hoagie "this is Tommy, but ignore him if he acts mean towards you because he's kinda anti-teenager since he turned eight"
"That's because he's Numbah 2 of the KND!" cried Mushi and Tommy covered her mouth again.
"I told you! No telling the enemy!" said Tommy "even if they are friends and/or relatives! You know what happened with the old Numbah 5"
Mushi calmed him down but then the two kids decided to go to a friend's house just as Bilby came back with his bike. Both Numbah 4s said bye and as they were leaving Hoagie called, "see you at the pool"
Wally had no idea what he was talking about so he began to skate home with his brother. On the way back, the blonde questioned the brunette about the KND. Bill told him about his training, the tree house, his room and the cool weaponry. Wally listened and learned the other members of his sector. Because the old Numbah 4 turned evil, Wally's replacement, he was decommissioned early so Bill got the job. The other members were Mushi, Numbah 3, Tommy, Numbah 2, a girl called Saffron who was the new Numbah 1 and another girl named Angie who was Abby's replacement.
"Hey thanks for that info bro" said Wally as they reached their house about fifteen minutes after leaving the school "is it okay if I tell the others?"
"You mean the rest of the greatest team of all time?" said Bill "sure, of course you can! But only if I can get their autographs"
"Sure" said Wally "want mine?"
"Not really" said Bill "I live with you don't I?"
Wally laughed and went to his room to play more Diablo 2. Later, he went down for dinner and then went to watch movies in his room. He fell asleep during the seventh DragonBall Z movie, which he still liked, and had dreams about his adventures in the KND.
The next day, Wally awoke, still dressed in his orange hoodie and blue jeans, to the sound of his alarm clock and Bill yelling "CARTOONS! LOTS OF CARTOONS!"
There aren't any cartoons in the morning on weekdays, thought Wallabee as he looked at his clock.
"NINE FORTY FIVE! CRIKEY! I'M LATE!"
Wally jumped out of his room, grabbed a slice of bread from the packet and was almost out of the door with his swimming stuff and skateboard when he saw Bilby, still in his pyjamas with the feet and a big bowl of popcorn, in front of the TV watching the Road Runner run laps around the coyote.
"Man they've changed the TV schedule a lot since my day" said Wally and he skated out of the door and down the road as fast as he could. He found Abby leaning on the closed school gate, her bike beside her, looking bored as he came skating down beside her.
"What are you doing Abby?" asked Wally "we should be in school! We're missing our first lesson!"
"What are you talking about?" laughed Abigail "today's Saturday! We agreed to go down to the pool today! So come on, lets go!"
Wally grumbled all the way to the local pool while Abby laughed loudly. When they reached there, Wally went into the men's change rooms to find Nigel and Hoagie waiting there impatiently.
"What took you?" asked Hoagie "I even reminded you yesterday!"
Wally explained and the others laughed while they went to their change cubicles. Five minutes later they had all got changed. Nigel in red shorts and T-shirt, Hoagie with light blue shorts and a floating bed while Wally had only orange shorts and a small plastic bag filled with something the other two couldn't see. They went out to the pool, Wally was looking scared for some reason, and they saw the girls saving some chairs for them. Abby was still wearing her cap and she had a dark blue bikini on while Kuki had a bikini top and shorts, both green and the shorts had a small Rainbow Monkey in the corner pocket. Nigel and Hoagie dumped their towels on a chair before jumping in the pool; Kuki walked over to the diving board and jumped in, yelling at everyone to look while Abby just sat on a deck chair reading a magazine. Wally was just terrified to even touch the water and ended up sitting at the edge of the deep end of the pool, trying to look cool. Hoagie then got out of the water and, as a practical joke, pushed Wally in, not remembering an important fact of his past.
"Help! I can't swim!" cried Wally as he splashed around, drowning "someone, help!"
"Oh man, Abby forgot to tell them," said Abby as she took off her cap and dived in to save him. She pulled him out of the pool and he lay there panting on the side, his friends crowded around him.
"Sorry man" said Hoagie "I didn't know"
"Abby forgot to tell them, it's her fault," said Abby again and Wally shook his head.
"It's okay, I just can't swim, never could"
"Well then, I'll have to teach you!" said Kuki brightly and Wally blushed brighter than Kuki's mood.
"No…. no, I'll just sit in the spa!" spluttered the blonde and Nigel laughed.
"There isn't a spa here," said the Englishman.
"Then what's that?" asked Wally as he pointed to a smaller, circular thing.
"The kiddie pool"
"Aw, crud"
Kuki then grabbed Wally's hand and dragged him into the shallow end of the pool where he could stand up. She then started to show the Australian the proper strokes, freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke and in half an hour, Wally could swim half a lap of freestyle without stopping. Abby smirked as she red her magazine as Nigel and Hoagie has started a water fight with some other kids that they recognised from school.
"Hey, your Nigel right?" asked one boy with white hair and red eyes "the one that broke up with the cow girl?"
"Yes, that's me"
"Cool! I'm Zac, Zac Blak, you're in my Art class at school" said Zac and they shook hands with each other. Zac wore a black T-shirt and shorts, he had a short pointy nose and a cool sort of look to him "oh, this is my girlfriend Amali Wen, you've probably seen her around"
A girl with long red hair, green eyes, a nice smile and the sort of face that everyone likes came up from behind Zac, "hey, I know you, you fixed the heater in our class" said the girl to Hoagie "I'm Amali, the head cheerleader and no, I'm not like the stereotypical head cheerleader, I'm not stuck up, it's nice to meet you" She wore an outfit like Kuki's just in pink and without the Rainbow Monkey. Another boy came up behind them and made some signals with his hands.
"Oh sorry, this is our other friend Brian" said Zac and they looked at him, he had short brown hair, hazel eyes and a big smile on his face "he, sadly, was born without a very good voice box and has lost any form of voice but he doesn't let it get him down, he just needs to have me or Amali translate his sign language in all of his classes"
Brian made some more signals to Zac and he translated, "he wants to say that he's in your English class and that he liked your poem about your girlfriend, Nigel"
"Um… thanks Brian," said Nigel, shaking his hand and smiling. With their new friends, they began what they called "The Big Splash-o-rama" and laughed during the whole thing. Zac won teamed with Amali because they eliminated their opponents one by one. The highlight of the fight was when Brian snuck up behind everyone except Amali and dunked them. During that fight, Wally was getting better at the swimming. He could do one full lap in freestyle but not in the others so Kuki left it at that.
"Um… thanks Kuki," said Wally blushing "I really needed that!"
"No problemo!" said Numbah 3 and she swam over to play with Nigel, Hoagie and their new friends. As she swam, Wally watched and blushed again and to his dismay, Abby had seen him.
"You know Wally," she said diving in beside him "Abby think a song is in order. WALLY AND KUKI SI…"
She never got to finish as Wally splashed her with a huge wave, soaking her more than she was, and that got her mad.
"Alright Wally, Abby challenges y'all to a water fight!"
Even though they had already had one, the others joined in. It was teams of two, Nigel and Abby, Hoagie and Zac, Amali and Brian and the last team were Wally and Kuki. They got a few seconds to make a plan so Kuki's team swam over to a corner.
"Okilly dokilly" started Kuki "I say we go into the shallow end because that way, you can stay up!"
"Alright, lets go!"
The fight had officially begun. Kuki and Wally immediately went to the shallow end and splashed those who came near but they didn't see Brian use his sneak attack and Wally was dunked. Nigel and Abby confused Hoagie and Zac by swimming around them very fast and using small splashes but that failed when Hoagie swam to the edge and jumped in, soaking everybody. Amali was back to back with Brian and they got into a mini fight with Wally, who was experiencing his first water fight and was enthusiastically splashing around wildly. After about twenty minutes of wild splashing and many people jumping in, the fight stopped when some one else came into the pool. This was a man of about twenty with blonde hair that covered his face. He had a few freckles and an expression on his face that said 'heh, I think I know everything' When this boy came in, they all stopped suddenly and Abby had a cold look on her face.
"Hello, don't stop just because I'm here, continue please" said the man and Abby waded over to him.
"Hey, stop being so polite and get out!" said Abby and they all looked shocked.
"Is your girlfriend always like this?" muttered Zac and Nigel just shook his head.
"Yeah, I know who you are and you know who most of us are so just go ahead and admit it, CHAD!" screamed Abby and something clicked in Wally's mind.
"Seems like you can't handle a teenager like me" smirked Wally as Numbah 86 sneered at him.
"No teen has ever gotten away from me," growled Fanny and she jumped at him for a third time.
"And Chad didn't count did he?" taunted Wally and Fanny gulped.
"Whoa" said Wally "childhood flashback", Wally swam over to Abby and backed her up "you were in the KND weren't you AND you escaped decommissioning, how?"
"Oh it was ingenious" started Chad and everyone swam over, not just out of interest but to back them up of there was a fight "I hacked into the computer and changed the decommissioning times for everyone in Sectors V and Q so people wouldn't know it was my birthday, unfortunately Nigel was the only one in your team that wasn't decommissioned and stopped me with one of those little brats that foil my plans every now and again. What Sector are they again? Oh yeah, Sector V"
"You fight my little brother!" cried Wally and Hoagie at the same time and they both leapt for Chad, fists clenched. Abby then turned to their new friends and told them something very important.
"Okay, Abby needs y'all to get out of the pool and look around here for anyone that looks like her" said the African American and the three obeyed "but don't approach her!"
Then she pulled Nigel and Kuki over to make a plan. Five minutes later, they swam around to their positions.
"Oh Mr. Chaaaaaaaaaad!" sang Kuki as she was out of the water and putting her part of the plan into action "I bet you can't catch me!"
"I bet I can," said the ex leader of the KND and he forgot about his two attackers. Abby then took that opportunity to inform Wally and Hoagie about what they were doing. Wally grinned and swam, or doggy paddled, over to where Chad was, following him. Kuki was easily dodging Chad's attempts to catch her when…
"KIDS NEXT DOOR! BATTLE STATIONS!"
Kuki jumped in the pool, splashing and disorientating Chad, while Wally leapt and pushed him under the water, getting ready for the finale. Hoagie waited for Chad to come up, wipe his eyes, and then splashed him with a huge wave, momentarily blinding him and throwing him onto his back. Abby swam underneath Chad and kicked hard, sending him up and Nigel then punched him again, throwing him over to a part of the pool.
"Positions!" yelled Nigel and they swam, getting ready.
"Five!" cried Abby as she grabbed Chad's feet and threw him over at Wally.
"Four!" shouted Wallabee and he hit him with his fist, sending Chad onto his back.
"Three!" giggled Kuki as she jumped up from below Chad and he flew over to Numbah 2.
"Two… whoa!" started Hoagie and Chad suddenly grabbed his hair and held him in front of himself like a shield. Wally made to jump for the man but Chad then pulled out a small switchblade and put it to Hoagie's neck.
"You move and the fat boy gets it," said the older blonde and Wally growled. Abby looked around wildly, looking for something to help while Nigel was staring directly behind Chad, his face straight and business like. Chad then laughed, "you ex Kids Next Door were harder to defeat as kids than you are as teenagers! Now I have your friend and I'll give him back if those two come with me" He pointed at Wally and Kuki with his free hand and then pulled it back, sticking out his thumb to the exit, "what's it gonna be? Four of you live, no one comes with me and you lose a friend or five of you live and two of you just come with me. Choose now"
"Don't do it guys!" said Hoagie, not taking his eyes of the knife "I'm not worth you two!"
"Would you come if I told you that you would get every single one of your memories back if you came with me?" asked Chad grinning and Wally considered this. They would remember everything, no one would get hurt and Wally could just get them both out.
"Don't go Wally" said Nigel before he could move, he then turned to Chad "we don't need him, take him if you want"
Everyone, even Chad, gasped at that remark. Hoagie looked paler than ever, Wally didn't know who to pummel, Kuki was just plain shocked and Abby had to stop herself from slapping him.
"Fine, if you don't need him," stated Chad "then consider him dea…"
"KIDS NEXT DOOR! BATTLE STATIONS!"
At this voice, everyone was confused. It was a girl's voice of about twelve and Nigel grinned at the sight of four children jumping into the pool and surrounding Chad. The one who spoke was a girl that had long blue hair, green eyes and lots of freckles and the one closest to them was a tall girl with short blonde hair, grey eyes and very light skin. Wally spotted Bill standing on the pool edge, still surrounding Chad, and holding a S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. The new Sector V had arrived.
"Like you said Chad" grinned Nigel "kids do defeat adults better than teenagers"
"Release my brother or someone's gonna be all washed up" said Tommy, inheriting his brother's humour' and Chad let Hoagie swim off and he threw his knife away to a corner of the pool. As Mushi and Bill tied Chad's hands up and got him out of the pool, the blue haired girl swam over to the ex KND.
"Hello! I'm Saffron Dananvitch, the new Numbah 1!" said the girl brightly in a Polish accent "I've read all about you and I'm one of your biggest fans!"
"We have fans?" asked Kuki and Saffron nodded desperately.
"The fan club is humongous!" cried the blue haired girl and they all laughed.
"Hey Numbah 1! What do you want to do with Chad?" asked the other girl they didn't know in a German Accent and Numbah 1 waved her over.
"Ex team, this is the new Numbah 5, Angie Marroan" stated Saffron importantly and Angie shook everyone's hand, Abby's twice "well, I know you all know the others also we need to take this adult away! Bye bye!"
The kids ran off into the car park and the five saw a bus fly above them, Bilby waving out the window.
"Wow, we just met the new us," said Abby after a while just as Zac, Amali and Brian came running back and they all dived in the pool beside the others.
"Abby" spluttered Zac, his white hair drooping over his eyes "we saw someone, she looks like a bigger version of you! AND NOW SHE'S CHASING US!"
Before they could say anything, Cree walked into the swimming pool area and they all gulped. Abby just took a deep breath and walked out, fists clenched.
"So, little Abby has some little friends to spy for her" sneered Cree and Abby growled.
"Abby knew you'd be here to back up your boy friend" snarled Abby "but y'all too late! The KND took him away"
"Oh he'll be out, I'll give him an hour or two" said Cree, unaffected by this news "well, lets get to business, you walked out on me at the Moon Base, now you'll pay!"
With that, Cree jumped at Abby and the sister's began fighting, both of them using their best moves. The other seven could just watch.
"Cool!" said Zac "your girl can fight!"
"Yeah, you should see her when she gets really mad" replied Nigel and the two boys laughed. Amali however was holding her head, the same way that Wally and the other did when they first got their memories. Brian was signing support and Kuki cheered and cheered. Wally just stood there, taking in all the things that had happened since he got up this morning. Before he knew it, Cree had thrown Abby into the water and Nigel went to help her. Cree then dived in and went for Kuki, missing every blow. Wally growled and went to help, fists tight, and he ducked all the hits send his way, getting a few hits in himself. Suddenly, Kuki and Wally were both thrown back by a strong kick and they hit the sidewall of the pool. Brian, although dumb (A/N: dumb as in can't speak) was still strong, tried to hold off Cree but failed, Zac and Amali did also. Now all that was left was Hoagie and he was shivering, not just by fear but also because of an old memory coming back, or half back. He could remember something with Cree, just not what. Numbah 2 tensed for the attack, but one came. What did come was Cree's smiling face.
"Hey Hoagie, wanna ditch these losers and come party with some real people" whispered Cree and Hoagie blushed and laughed nervously, "invitation's still open. Bye hot stuff"
With that, Cree swam away and jumped out of the water, running off. Abby tried to get up and chase her but she was still winded from when she fought. Wally steadied Kuki and they both swam over to Hoagie, Zac, Amali and Brian to check if they were okay. Brian was fine with only a small bruise while Zac had a medium sized cut from the pool as he was thrown back but Amali wasn't hurt at all. Hoagie wasn't physically hurt but he was very shaken from what had happened in the last ten minutes. He had been playing in a water fight, then he had tried to stop an evil ex member of the Kids Next Door, then he had been held hostage and then another evil person had hit on him!
"Man, I need to get a hobby!" cried Hoagie as they swam over to him "I'm gonna head off guys"
Hoagie climbed out and headed off to the changing rooms, Zac decided to follow because he needed to get out at a certin time because of his parents. Amali went out because of her boyfriend but Brian stayed in a little while longer, making some signs with his hands.
"What?" asked Nigel as Brian grinned.
"HE SAID THAT HE'LL SEE YOU AT SCHOOL!" called back Amali and they said bye to their new friends. The four all swam a bit longer before getting out and heading off home, saying bye to each other.
When Wally got home, he found his brother waiting for him, smiling, "hey bro, can you take me to Mushi's house? I need to discuss stuff with her"
"Does Bill have a crush?" smirked Wally playfully but he agreed to take him anyway. Grabbing his skateboard, he rode to Mushi's house, Bilby was on his bike, and did a few grinds and tricks on the way to entertain his brother. He only stacked it once and that was when he thought he saw Fanny following him but he shoved it off until he got to their destination. Bill parked his bike by a wall and rang the doorbell, Kuki answered.
"Hey Wally!" said Kuki cheerfully "what ya doing?"
"Bill here wanted to see ya sister" said the Aussie and Kuki let the small boy in.
When Bill had gone, Kuki turned to Wally, a serious look on her face, "okay, I overheard Mushi on the phone to Saffron but don't tell anyone, not even the others this, especially Nigel"
"What is it?" asked Wally and Kuki leaned closer.
"Chad was broken out of the Moon Base" whispered Kuki "and they said that the one who broke him out was Lizzie"
"YOU HAVE ALL FAILED ME!" cried an extremely angry voice and the dark room lit up, revealing a tall chair with someone in it and seven people behind it, all of them cowering with fear "I thought that you two" the person pointed to the two tallest people "could have handled them by yourselves but you needed that fat girl that's recently joined us to get you out of the Moon Base!"
"But Sir" came a man's voice but the room lit up once again, "yes sir. We won't fail next time"
"It was those pesky kids again, wasn't it? These ones are as annoying as they were! But these ones have one weakness; they're related to the targets! We get the children, we get those pesky teenagers!" said the first person and they all laughed.
"That explains it, Fanny and Lizzie have joined with Chad and Cree, they hired them" said Wally in Kuki's room.
"No, I think that Chad is an enforcer, like a thug, someone hired him" said the Japanese girl as Mushi and Bill came in, Kuki and Wally jumped to make it look like they were doing something else. Kuki had been drawing again so they pretended to be making a comic (A/N: Comic, Comix! Get it (no one laughs) bah, who needs ya!).
"So the uh… Rainbow Monkeyman jumps with Super Fist and they try to stop the Evil uh… Hamburger! Yeah, you can't make that stuff up," stammered Wally and Kuki erased the Evil Hot Dog that she drew.
"So, what ya doing?" asked Mushi, grinning evilly at Wally.
"No.. nothing" said Wally "just making a comic"
That made Mushi and Bilby leave and the two teens breathed a sigh of relief, "that was close" said Kuki "and why did you say hamburger? I started to draw a hot dog"
The two brothers then left Kuki and Mushi's house at five to get home for dinner, fish and chips. They played their PS2 for a while before Wally ran up to check his e-mail.
Wally
Big problem. Tommy had an idea so we sent Hoagie out for a mission. Meet us at RedLeader1's house. Midnight.
Abby
"Just what I needed" mumbled Wally "another problem"
It was eleven thirty before Wally 'went to bed' and he prepared a bag of things that might be useful. Because it was a mission, as they said, he took a make-shift rope and he knew of a big stick in his back yard that he could use.
"Man, I wish I had that sword that I almost beat Sandy with" mumbled Wally as he opened his door, skateboard in hand and bag on back, making sure to not make a sound. It went very well until Bilby came out of his room, also with a bag on his back and with a S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R in his hand. Wally gasped and stood still, hopeful that his little brother wouldn't see him, and after the smaller Aussie left, he followed in pursuit.
Ten minutes later, Bill stopped sneaking around and stopped at a house that looked familiar to Wally.
"KND rule!" said the brunette and the door opened to a familiar bald boy, "thanks Red Leader"
Wally was extreamly confused, what was Bilby doing at Nigel's house? Shaking his head, Wally ran across the road and knocked on the door, getting a reply.
"Password" said a voice.
"KND rule?" asked Wally and was surprised to be let in by 'Red Leader' "What's with the password?"
"We took security risks" said Nigel, grinning "and your just in time, Hoagie's due back in ten minutes"
The two walked into the living room to find Sector V, old and new, minus Hoagie, talking with each other. Mushi, Bill and Abby were having a conversation while Kuki was laughing with Tommy, Saffron and Abby.
"WALLY!" cried Kuki and she jumped up and hugged him, "you got the password from your brother I see"
"What?"
"Oh yeah, I knew that you were coming so I ran ahead and kinda told you the password" said the youngest there and Wally gave him a nuggie, "hey! That hurts!"
"Hem-hem" said Tommy as he stood up in front of everyone "I called you all here because of my brilliant plan"
"He doesn't think much of himself, huh?" mumbled Abby and Kuki giggled.
"We all know that my brother, Hoagie, has had-and may still-a crush on the enemy, Cree Lincoln and from what had happened this morning, she has a crush on him" continued the new Numbah 2 "because of this, I, along with Numbahs 1, 1, 2 and 5, have decided to send Hoagie out to figure out the teenager's plans"
"KND RULES!" came a voice and Nigel went to answer the door.
Tommy spoke some more, "This is him now"
"I didn't like this plan" said Abby out loud "I hate the fact that my friend is, in a way, dating my evil sister"
"Hey guys!" cried Hoagie, staggering a bit "that was a cool party!"
"Numbah 2" said Saffron and the brothers looked at him "the old one. What information did ya find out?"
"Oh yeah, I found out that we should go to some more of those parties!" said Hoagie "I'm going out with them next Wednesday"
"Are you tellin' me that you've not found any information?" said Angie and Hoagie nodded, not seeing the angry Abby.
"IS ABBY HEARING RIGHT?" screamed the girl, not caring who or what got mad, "ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU ARE DATING ABBY'S SISTA?"
"What if I am?" said Hoagie, just realising what was happening, "she likes me and I like her"
"Well" replied Abby, getting calmer but still shaky, "y'all gonna have to choose"
"I don't like the sound of this" said Kuki as Wally stared on.
"Choose what?"
"Between me and Cree" retorted Abby, her voice filled with tears, "I can't be ya friend if your with her"
"Well I…" said Hoagie, thinking a bit, "I need to choose…"
"You do realise that Cree Lincoln is the enemy and if you side with her, you side against us" said Tommy, concerninly.
"Don't do it Hoag" said Wally "you know that we mean more to ya than that weirdo girl"
"Hey! She's not a weirdo" cried Hoagie "she's sweet and she's smart and she's hot and…"
"The opposite of Abby" cried Abby, tears actually flowing down her face, "Abby understands. If you can't choose, Abby will"
The two stared point blank, no one spoke a word until Abby slapped Hoagie and walked out of the house.
"I hope you favour her friendship more than mine"
