OPERATION: NOOGIE
(Dark Grinder races back and forth across the hangar floor, knocking several Kids Next Door down and disabling their weapons. Moving too fast for any of their shots to even touch him.)
(Chad and Cree emerge from the ship with ten other teenagers, all on rocket boots.)
Cree: Ha, it's been a long time.
Chad: I'm just sorry we can't tear the whole place apart.
(Teenagers fly towards the Kids on space turrets near the hangar entrance while Dark Grinder keeps up his mad-dashing; too fast for Sector V to get a shot at him.)
Numbuh 5: (grunts) Come on, come on… (Fumbling with her bubble-gum rifle)
Numbuh 2: (using a remote control to aim the missile) He's going too fast I can't track him.
Numbuh 1: Wait Numbuh 2, disable his ship. Then he can't escape.
Numbuh 3: Um, are you sure we want that? I just think it would better if her were out there. You know out in space… far, far away from us…
Numbuh 1: Lock and fire Numbuh 2!
(Numbuh 2 fires, destroying the starboard thruster and disabling the ship.)
(On the hangar floor.)
Numbuh 362: Stop those teenagers before we disable the hangar turrets!
Numbuh 86: Yes ma'am!
(Dark Grinder bolts towards Numbuh 60, disabling him and tossing him at Numbuh 86. Both operatives go flying back against the wall.)
(Operatives at the turrets abandon their positions as teenagers pull them from their seats.)
(Cree raises her wristwatch to her face.)
Cree: Brats are disarmed. Commence Operation: Noogie.
(Teenagers fly through the
hangar window and engage KND operatives hand-to-hand. Numbuh 86 kicks down two
teenagers but is quickly overwhelmed and restrained with shackles.)
(Numbuh 362 looks left and
right, seeing dozens of operatives getting overwhelmed by teenagers.)
Numbuh 362: Kids Next Door! Fall back into the base! FALL BACK!
Numbuh 60: You heard her! FALL BACK!
Numbuh 362: (into her communicator) Sector V, this is Numbuh 362, we're falling back. Get down here and through the hatch before I order it sealed.
Numbuh 5: Numbuh 362 says we're falling back, come on y'all we gotta go!
(Numbuhs 1 through 5 run across the Balconies for the stair leading down to the floor.)
(At the last moment before they reach the stairs, Dark Grinder flies up the stairs and blocks their retreat. He hunches slightly as his mask grinds more coffee.)
Dark Grinder: (grinding) Well, well, well. If it isn't my good friends of Sector V. (Grinding) I was disappointed about not having finished you in the forest. (Grinding) No matter, here we are again. (Grinding)
(Numbuh 4 is dumbstruck)
Numbuh 4: Master 4, please say it isn't you.
Dark Grinder: (Grinding) Of course I'm not Master 4. (Grinding) Master 4 was a weak and disillusioned man. (Grinding) Too afraid to let go of his past, (Grinding) too cowardly to reach his full potential. (Grinding) But not me. I have embraced my innermost strengths (Grinding) I HAVE FOUND ULTIMATE POWER! (Grinding)
Numbuh 5: HIYAH!
(Numbuh 5 springs forward, throwing out a flying side-kick.)
(Without flinching, Dark Grinder grabs her leg and throws her over the balcony!)
(As Numbuh 5 falls, Cree and Chad catch and shackle her.)
(Numbuh 2 is fearfully quivering and Numbuhs 3 & 4 are noticeably shaken.)
Numbuh 1: (calmly) Kids Next Door. I leave Numbuh 4 as temporary Sector leader. Run for the exit hatch… and don't look back…
(Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 stand unmoving. Too scared and confused to move. Numbuh 1 turns his head to face them.)
Numbuh 1: RUN NOW!
(Startled into action, Numbuh 2 takes off, Numbuh 3 and 4 follow close behind.)
(Dark Grinder allows the 3 operatives to run.)
Dark Grinder: (Grinding) A valiant effort Numbuh 1. (Grinding) But you only forestall the inevitable. (Grinding) You can't match either my speed or skill. (Grinding) And as soon as I defeat you, (grinding) I'll tear your sector apart. (Grinding) One operative at a time.
Numbuh 1: HOO-YAH!
(Numbuh 1 takes the offensive. Despite his maneuverability and energetic style, Dark Grinder can match every move with complete ease. Sensing the futility in fighting, Numbuh 1 loses his composure and resorts to basic wrestling, diving at Grinder's feet to trip him.)
(Dark Grinder grabs Numbuh 1 by the collar and lifts him off his feet.)
Dark Grinder: (Grinding) You disappoint me Numbuh 1. (Grinding) I expected an operative of your reputation (grinding) to be more of a challenge. (Grinding) If you'll excuse me, I have a base to destroy (grinding) and you're desperation annoys me.
(Dark Grinder waves to a teenager on her bike who flies over and takes Numbuh 1 down to Numbuh 5 in a cluster of shackled KND operatives.)
(Dark Grinder proceeds down the stairs and toward the hangar exit with grace and composure.)
(As Operatives run through the hangar door, Numbuh 60 alone holds the floor.)
Numbuh 362: Numbuh 60 the door is sealing! GET OUT OF THERE!
(Numbuh 60 drops his emptied 2x4 machine rifle and runs for the door. Numbuh 2 and 4 give him cover fire.)
(The door begins to close.)
Numbuh 4: Come on mate, you're almost there…
(Dark Grinder casually crosses Numbuh 60's path, forcing him to stop. Before Numbuh 60 can get around him, the door closes.)
Numbuh 362: NO! (grits her teeth)
Let me know what you guys think...
