A/N: yea! I decided to post this chapter right after the last because I promised that I would post it after a week, but I forgot and didn't update til last night, 2 weeks instead of the 1 week I promised. So once again, I am sooooooo sorry! I'll never do it again! So please, continue reading and review! Reviews make me happy and they serve as a reminder that I need to update!
Chapter 8
"Come out immediately you infuriating little girl!" The delightfuls shouted as they ran past millions of jail cells, all the while a giggle echoed throughout the dungeon. Suddenly they heard a resounding blast that came from behind them, back from the cell where they had left the others. "No!" they cried and then turned around and headed back in their captive's cell's direction. As soon as they were out of sight, a certain operative appeared from among the shadows with a whispered, "No…"
"That don't sound good!" numbuh 5 exclaimed when she heard fast footfalls approaching, "What's worse, I think that they have grabbed some weapons!"
"Well at least we have ours too!" numbuh 4 shouted, retrieving a weapon from the pile.
"uh, well, almost…" numbuh 2 spoke up.
"Ugh, what now?" 5 inquired.
"Well, you know that metal piece that we all used to break those chains?"
"Yeeess." 5 stated in an irritated voice, "what about it?"
"Um, it sorta was an essential piece to the last weapon. Heh. Heh."
"WHAT?"
"uh, sorry?"
"oh that's just great! 5 fully armed delightfuls versus 4 knd- hey wait a minute! Numbuh 3 can go without a weapon since she's keeping them busy!" 5 suggested.
"No." 1 called from the other side of the cell, "I'll forgo the firepower." And with that he dropped his weapon.
"no way, numbuh 1, you are still the leader and you need your weapon!"
"No, I will go without. I have proven to be less than worthy of a leader and numbuh 3 deserves her weapon for all that she's done. She'd make a better leader than me anyday."
"WHAT! Come off it numbuh 1, stop beating yourself up about this 1 mistake you've made!"
"One mistake is all it takes to ruin an operation. I have jeopardized this mission right from the start; a mistake I don't plan to make again." 1 stated.
"Then get over it and fight! You'll be making another mistake if you abandon us!" 5 shot back.
"I AM NOT GOING TO ABANDON YOU! I am simply going to let the true warriors lead."
"oh whatever! Now-"
"hello, kids next doom, ready to play?" the delightfuls bellowed from their robot which they had gotten before coming to their cell.
"You betcha, bring it on!" 5 challenged, readying her weapon.
The others got into a battle stance, all aiming their weapons at the delightfuls, all except numbuh 1, who readied himselve with fists, but his weapon lay forgotten on the floor.
"Kids next door, BATTLESTATIONS!" 5 yelled and immediately the two opposing sides entered combat.
"Oh no! I have to help the others!" 3 said to herself, running through passage after passage, trying to find her way back. "which way?" suddenly she heard the sounds of battle coming from a passage to her left.
"Oh! I hope they're winning!" she stated and ran off in that direction.
"Foolish children, you'll never defeat us!" the delightfuls taunted from the safety of their dome, laughing at the attempts of the knd to bring their robot down. Soon they had each of the operatives in the claws of the robot, despite the valiant efforts they made. "Now where is the annoying one that has A.D.D.?"
"You mean numbuh 4? He's right over there!" numbuh 5 replied and indicated the claw to her right in which numbuh 4 kept squirming in and muttering things like, 'take that!', 'you think you're so tough, but I'll show you!', and 'once I get my hands on you, you'll wish you were scrap metal!'.
"No! the OTHER one with A.D.D.!"
"Oh, numbuh 2? He's still playing airplane over there." Numbuh 5 stated, motioning to her left where numbuh 2 was making fighter plane sound and occasionally taking out his 'lightsaber' to try to slash the arm that was holding him.
"Ugh, NO! We mean-"
"Hi guys! Did you miss me?" 3 called, bouncing around on the ground.
"why yes, dearest kuki," The delightfuls replied sarcastically, "Now hold still so we can vaporize you!" and with that they took aim with their laser gun.
"Oh, you mean like this?" kuki asked, striking a pose.
"Oi, the ONE time she isn't bouncing around like a Mexican jumping bean…" 5 muttered.
"Yes Kuki dear, JUST like that, mwahahahahahahaha!" the delightfuls heckled.
"3….2….1….BOOM!" the delightfuls counted down to their attack.
"KUKI! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" 4 screamed, struggling like heck to break away from the claw that held him.
The smoke cleared as everyone anxiously waited for the smoke to clear.
"Hey, where is…?" the delightfuls asked.
"SIKE!" they heard from behind them, followed by a stream of girlish giggles.
Numbuh 3 emerged from the shadows, holding the weapon that numbuh 1 had left behind. "Say bye bye! He he!" 3 said then tried to shoot, but the weapon wasn't working.
"uh oh. Um, who wants to play a game?" 3 suggested.
"How 'bout no." the delightfuls answered and then swept her up in the last claw.
"Hi guys! What's up?" she asked.
"US! GET IT? Cause she asked 'what's up?', and we're up, and- oh never mind." 2 declared.
"Numbuh 2! We are kind of in a sticky situation right now!"
"sorry."
A/N: I'm estimating about 2 or 3 more chapters to the story so stay tuned!
