Chapter 14
KND and TND operatives alike scattered in all directions, making a clear path for whatever this Laser Y was. The robot and Stickybeard's ship stood idol, as if confused about who to go after. Numbuh 234 got up upon my shoulders, and climbed up into a tiny compartment. The brunette shook her head.
"That's my sister for ya; always ready to attack first, ask questions later." She followed suit, but used the rails on the side. "You keep your eyes on them, and move if we come into trouble. You need to direct us for a hit."
"Sure thing." I replied uneasily. I turned to Virginia. "Yeesh, anyone would think they run the charade."
"Tell me about it." She muttered back. "But they have more of a clue than we do."
I looked up, and saw the two girls setting themselves up for the big finale…. well, I hoped it was going to be.
"Get ready for some real fireworks!" 345 called, helping her sister ready the laser.
We looked in the direction of the enemies, and the next second, everything went white. It was like I had gone blind, only I could see Virginia perfectly. We heard crashing and explosions, and saw the damage it caused as the light faded. We looked in utter shock, as everything was completely destroyed.
I swear we both just looked at each other with blank expressions for a few moments, then jumped out of the machine.
"You meddling kids!" We heard yelling, and saw Mr. Boss coming right at us. "Why do you always meddle with our plans?"
We watched as Fanny and Hoagie came out from where they were hiding, and she wasn't impressed. I looked at Virginia, and she looked in confusion.
"Either we just watch, or we cover our ears right now." She said, watching as Fanny marched right to her dad. I wasn't sure what she said to him, as I covered my ears the moment she opened her mouth, but I know it was enough to make a full-grown man cringe with absolute fear. I felt two more people standing near, and saw that Numbuh 345 and her sister 234 had come to stand beside me. 345 took her hands away from her ears.
"Gosh she can scream can't she?" She said, while her sister imitated cleaning out her ear.
"Well, we don't call her ma'am for nothing." Virginia said with a shrug.
"You know, you guys didn't do so bad out there tonight." I added. "Where'd you learn all that anyway?"
Numbuh 345 blushed slightly. "Numbuh 60-T taught us some stuff."
Numbuh 234 rolled her eyes. "Yeah, plus we learned from our Sector leader."
I looked around, and saw the place was a wreck. And the people who weren't operatives or enemy adults began to look around in confusion.
"Um, what are we gonna do about this place? And these people?"
"Well, we can easily erase their memories of this event." Numbuh 234 suggested. "We have that technology. But building the whole place up again may be a problem…"
"Not if we all start now." Virginia looked at me in a determined way, and we both nodded.
