"What the hell are they doin' here this early?" Numbuh 5 asked as they ran to greet their "guests'.

"They were probably trying to pull a surprise attack," Numbuh 1 answered as they ran down a hallway towards the intrusion.

"Well that backfired," Numbuh 2 commented. Suddenly up ahead a wall exploded with a loud BOOM! A large robot came through the hole and Numbuh 1 screamed in anger.

"Do you know how long it took me to design this treehouse!" He asked. "What is with people and ruining Nigel's pride and joy!"

"Well we're terribly sorry Nigel...wait a second, you still should be fast asleep!" The Delightful Children said.

"Tough luck Delightful Creeps, Kids Next Door ATTACK!" The five kids sprang into action, attacking with all their might. The robot was of typical Delightful Children design. On the top, about fifteen feet high, there was a large glass-covered doom where the children were. Underneath them was a metal plated area where all their secret weapons were. And finally there is the legs, about eight to ten metal-like tentacles that came flying at the KnD.

Numbuh 2 went flying at one of the legs with his currently unamed prototype. He was currently working out the kinks in it and didn't have time to name it. This weapon was saw like contraption but at the edges of it instead of normal sharp points there were red hot points which came useful when sawing metal in half. Numbuh 2 got to work and soon one of the legs fell to the ground with a clang. Numbuh 2 laughed when the Delightful's temporarily lost balance, but to his horror another leg grew back. Before he could move the new leg grabbed him and hurled him into a wall.

Numbuh 3 was doing her rendition of "Swan Lake" while avoiding the claws of the machine. She danced back and forth, totally oblivious to the danger she was in. "La la la la la," she sang, but she failed to notice the claw coming at her from behind.

"Numbuh 3 look out!" Numbuh 4 called, but Numbuh 3 was grabbed by one of the claws. The claw pulled her back then threw her at Numbuh 4. She crashed into him and they both went flying down the hallway and out of sight.

Numbuhs 1 and 5 went right at the Delightful Children, trying to break the glass that surrounded them. Numbuh 5 used her laser gun while Numbuh 1 tried kicking and punching it.

"Foolish Kids Next Door, do you really think you'd be able to defeat us THAT easily?" They laughed.

"Yes," both Numbuhs 1 and 5 said and the Delightful's stopped laughing.

"See how easily you can defeat this!" They pulled a lever and in between Numbuhs 1 and 5 popped out a auto-laser-turret. The turret started firing and Numbuh 1 and 5 jumped behind the Delightful's dome using it as a sheild against the laser. "What are you doing?" They yelled as the laser fired at them sensing movement from there. "NO! This isn't supposed to happen!" The laser started melting their sheild. Numbuhs 1 and 5 jumped off the machine as the glass exploded from the heat. Numbuhs 1 and 5 smiled at each other, figuring that the Delightfuls abandoned when their machine minorly exploded, leaving them vaunerable. Well they were right to an extent. Clomp! A smaller robot with two large robotic claws, two legs, and a large dome dropped out of the larger one as the large one fell to the floor.

"Got a plan B Numbuh 1?" Numbuh 5 asked.

"Nope," he replied and they tried shooting the legs. Unfortunetly that didn't work. Both of the arms came flying at Numbuh 1. He doged one of them but the other grabbed him around the middle.

"Numbuh 1!" Numbuh 5 yelled and charged at the arm holding her friend. "Ahhhh!" She yelled as the other arm came flying at her hitting her in the stomach sending her flying through the air into the room they just came through.

"Numbuh 5!" He called out and struggled to get free from the metallic grip. The arm brought him up right in front of the Delightful Children.

"Well, well, well Nigel it seems the tides have turned," they said.

"Let me go you stupid little brats!" He yelled.

"Tsk, tsk, Nigel. We'll let you go, IF you hand over our plans!"

"First of all they're not YOUR plans and secondly we don't have them," he replied.

"Don't lie to us Nigel! We know your Sector was assigned to retrieve the plans and now they are missing, hand them over!"

"I told you we don't have them! We gave Sector W the mission because we were to tired!"

"We highly doubt..."

"Hang on Numbuh 1 I'm coming!" Numbuh 2's voice yelled. Numbuh 1 looked up to see a small one man airplane coming flying at him. The plane fired shots at the claw and hit. The claw dropped Numbuh 1 and he fell to the ground. Numbuh 2's plane made a U-Turn and fired more shots at the robot. "Direct hit!" He yelled as the robot started to shake.

"We will be leaving now with our compansation for the plans," they said and in a cloud of smoke the vanished.

"What did they mean by..." Numbuh 1 started but whas interrupted by a loud scream.

"Numbuh 5!" Numbuh 1 and 2 yelled. They rushed into the room and discovered she was not there.

(me) Uh-Oh. I get the feeling this will be a mildly long story, apr. 13-17 chapters.
