THE SHADOW DESCENDS
(Numbuh 4 runs across the Tree house's Main Hangar, the KND-plane he flew is now a smoking pile of twisted wood and metal.)
Numbuh 4: Guys…! Guys…! Something's happened… we've gotta help…!
(Numbuh 2 gets up from his pilot-seat bed above the Hangar.)
Numbuh 2: (yawns) What's going on Numbuh 4? who's… (gasp)…
(Numbuh 2 sees the pile of metal that used to be his plane.)
Numbuh 2: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY JET?
(Numbuh 4 runs into the hallway and punches an emergency alert button, then races into the central meeting/hangout room.)
(Numbuhs 1, 2, 3 and 5 come running in.)
Numbuh 4: (frantically waving his arms) Guys, something's happened… Master… Dojo… fight… everywhere…
(Numbuhs 1 and 5 grows calmer and look at him with skepticism.)
Numbuh 1: Numbuh 4, did Numbuh 2 challenge you to watch one of those scary movie marathons again?(raises his eyebrow)
(Numbuh 3's expression of concern turns into a smile and she giggles.)
Numbuh 4: No, listen to me, this is serious! I went back to see Master 4…
Numbuh 2: And you took one of my jets without asking and RUINED IT!
Numbuh 1: (sighs) …go on Numbuh 4, finish the story?
Numbuh 4: Master 4 was gone, and the whole dojo was a wreck, like a big fight had happened! There were broken pieces of armor and coffee grounds everywhere. I'm telling you something's happened to Master 4, we gotta go look for him.
Numbuh 5: Whoa hold up there champ… where are you gonna look for him? He's Master 4, he's been able to hide from Adults and Kids for longer than any of us have even been operatives. How do you expect to find him?
Numbuh 2: And in any case… YOU WRECKED MY JET!
(Alarm goes off, lights flash red.)
(Computer screen lowers from the ceiling and the computer voice speaks.)
Computer: Alert! Incoming message from Kids Next Door Moonbase.
Numbuh 1: Message onscreen!
(Screen is fuzzy at first, and then the picture comes through. It's Numbuh 362.)
Numbuh 362: Attention all Kids Next Door sectors! This is Supreme Commander Numbuh 362 of Moonbase! We are under attack! I repeat we are under attack!
Scouts confirm…
(Monitor image switches to a scene of a fleet of teenagers on ninja-bikes, flying through space – same bikes as those used in K.I.S.S. and E.L.E.C.T.I.O.N.S.)
…Father has launched a task force of teenagers to attack Moonbase. We have counted at least a-bazillion bikers on approach, with half-a-bazillion girlfriends in reserve.
We suspect Father himself may be on board the flagship.
(Screen switches back to Numbuh 362.)
All Kids Next Door Operatives are ordered to report at once and assist us in defense of Moonbase. Sector-Leaders contact Numbuh 65.3 on the Red Alert frequency for your specific assignments.
Now get up here! We need help!
(Transmission goes dead.)
Numbuh 1: (turns to his team, all of whom are in shock) Kids Next Door! Battle Stations!
(Scene change)
(Sector V is in the S.C.A.M.P.E.R.)
Numbuh 1: All right: Numbuh 2, full throttle to the moon, Numbuh 4 man the turrets; and Numbuh 5, contact Kids Next Door Global Command and ask them for our assignment.
(Numbuh 5 types on her computer console and picks up a transmission from Numbuh 65.3.)
Numbuh 5: Moonbase this is Sector V requesting mission specs.
Numbuh 65.3: Affirmative Sector V. Numbuh 362 needs your sector for a special assignment. You are ordered to avoid the enemy fleet for now…
Numbuh 4: What! You mean stay out of the fight?
(Numbuh 5 says shush!)
Numbuh 65.3: …meet up with Sector X when you dock on the far side of the base, Numbuh 60 will be waiting for you there. Out!
Numbuh 4: If we're not going up there to help fight then why are we going at all?
Numbuh 1: We'll know soon enough Numbuh 4. Numbuh 2 get us to that hangar quick.
(Scene change)
(Sector X - Numbuh 78, and her subordinates Numbuh 34 and Numbuh 42 are in their own ship on approach to Moonbase.)
Numbuh 42: Numbuh 78, there's an enemy ship closing on us. Do we engage?
Numbuh 78: Negative Numbuh 42, our orders are to get to Moonbase in one piece. Numbuh 34, how much longer until we reach that hangar?
Numbuh 34: Not much longer Numbuh 78; another five minutes...
(Radar starts beeping loudly.)
Numbuh 42: Incoming! Brace for impact!
(Numbuhs 42, 34 and 78 brace themselves.)
(A crash! And the ship rocks violently.)
Numbuh 78: Damage report!
Numbuh 42: Looks like something attached itself to our hull, but besides that all systems are functioning normally.
Numbuh 34: Whatever it is, it's trying to open the entry port. (pointing to his computer.)
Numbuh 78: Numbuh 34, get us to Moonbase, full throttle! Numbuh 42, come with me.
(Numbuh 78 and 42 leave the cockpit room and go to the air lock with 2x4 weapons drawn.)
(Vacuum door hisses, opens and mist pours out.)
Numbuh 78: All right! Whoever you are, come out of there with your hands up.
(A rhythmic breathing/slurping sound becomes audible, but no one comes.)
Numbuh 42: Come out of there before we blast you out!
(In a flash, a dark figure flies out of the door.)
(Scene shift immediately to Numbuh 34.)
Numbuh 34: (hears a small tap and cautiously turns around) N-Numbuh 78? Numbuh 42? Guys?
(A shadow and descends across his face and he screams.)
