THIRTEEN

Numbuh 1 looked over and over again at the empty treehouse. If his friends weren't here, there was only one place he knew about that they probably went to. Hoagie had told him about the secret hideout for pilots and operatives back in the day. That place would be the perfect hiding spot to hide out. Nigel was on his way out of the treehouse when his watch communicator beeped. He could have sworn he had turned all his global communications devices off.

Numbuh NB476's voice screamed over the comm.

"What do you think you're doing Numbuh 1! You're supposed to be up here at the base!"

"Change in plans NB476," Nigel responded sternly.

"You idiot! You're not allowed to located unruly operatives for us! When Numbuh Infinity finds out about this I swear he'll-"

Numbuh 1 turned his communicator off. He knew he would hear from the GKND for disobeying orders but he didn't care. If anyone was going to gather the Sector V operatives for decommissioning, it just had to be him.

Ships and pilots of all sorts began checking their planes and running diagnostics. After Numbuh 5's speech, everyone was gung-ho about taking down the Galactic Kids Next Door. However, Numbuh 4 pointed out one flaw in their plan that was enough to bring everybody's spirits back down.

"Guys! GUYS! We don't even know where cruddy base to the GKND is!" Wally yelled loudly at the top of his lungs so that everyone could hear him.

The room was deathly quiet until Numbuh 362 broke the silence.

"Yes we do Wally," she said smirking. "The coordinates! 11, 23, 07! Numbuh 60 and I found the coordinates to the GKND space base."

All the pilots grinned. Now they had a target. Abby suggested that before they take on the organization alone, that they needed to recon with Kids Next Door moonbase to get everyone involved in the mission. Rachel wasn't fond of this idea; as she knew the risks of knowing about the GKND, and the risks of fighting them. After all, Numbuh 60 had been captured. At the helm of all the pilots and their crafts was none other than Numbuh 2 and his craft the H.A.W.K.E.Y.E. (Hyper Airship With Koolness Eliminates Your Evil). One of the best pilots in the KND.

"All right everyone! Follow my lead!"

With a loud burst of rockets of every shape, size, and engine sounded off in unison. Abby and Rachel were in the same plane as Hoagie. Whereas, Wally and Kuki sadly were on the same plane as Ace. Someone Wally despised.

"Are you sure you can fly this thing okay fly-boy?"

"The engine is the heart of a plane, but the pilot is its soul," Ace said grinning in Kuki's direction.

"Whatever," Wally said crossing his arms.

Numbuh 1 reached the C.A.R.D.B.O.A.R.D. Base right as the rockets were taking off. The smoke from the blasts made him put a hand to cover his eyes. He watched as the rockets took off and headed toward...THE MOON. Quickly, he once again climbed into his space pod and followed the line of rockets and pilots. Back in H.A.W.K.E.Y.E., Hoagie flew the plane in a lateral direction. He looked into his overhead mirror and was suprised to see that everyone was still keeping up with them.

"Hang on! Kids Next Door moon base dead ahead," 2 said into his headset microphone.

Inside the moonbase, Numbuh 86 and the decommissioning squad were still trying to figure out what happened to Numbuh 60, 362, and the meaning behind the mysterious clue that they left behind.

"11, 23, 07! What on Earth does that mean!" Numbuh 86 yelled naively. Unbeknownst to them, that 362 had already mentioned to Sector V the meaning behind it.

"Maybe it has something to do with Yipper," Numbuh 99 said.

"STUPID!," 86 yelled to him while throwing something at him. "All you STUPID BOYS THINK OUT IS THAT STUPID TRADING CARD GAME!

"Uh Numbuh 86," 99 said trying to interrupt.

"I MEAN REALLY? YIPPER! WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!"

"Numbuh 86!," 99 said again this time louder.

"WHAT!?"

99 then pointed out the window at all the ships and crafts docking at the moonbase. Now Fanny was really confused. First, 60 and 362 disappear and now every Kids Next Door pilot arrives at the moonbase?!

"Crivvens!" 86 yelled the Scottish exclamation.

Once the ships docked, including Numbuh 1's, Abby ran inside the base after ordering the pilots to wait inside their crafts. While running down the long corridor, her mind was racing. She had to explain to the other operatives in the moon base about the Galactic Kids Next Door. She didn't care about the repercussions. She didn't care about the secrecy. What she did care about was the fact that the gKND were doing horrible things. Things that were not only morally wrong but bordered on somewhat crazy and evil.

Meanwhile, Numbuh 1 was waiting in his spacecraft. He began looking around for his friends. Suddenly, he saw Numbuh 5 race inside. "What's going on," he wondered. If it was Kids Next Door business, then he was actually quite curious. However, he didn't want to blow his cover just yet so he remained inside the craft. Across the docking bay, he then spotted Hoagie, Kuki, and Wally on the loading ramps of their ships. They were smiling, laughing, and seemed to be enjoying each other's company. How he missed that.

BANG!

Abby pushed her office door open with her foot. Inside, she saw Numbuh 86.

"What's going on Numbuh 5! We've lost Numbuh 60 and 362 left us-"

"Yeah, yeah I know. We need to initiate a meeting of every Kids Next Door operative at the Kids Next Door Super Convention Center!" Abby said looking for the intercom button.

"WHAT FOR!"

"LOOK! We got an important mission and I don't got a lot of time all right!"

In one swift, motion Abby hit the intercom button.

"Kids Next Door Operatives. Meeting at the Super Convention Center! This is a top priority alert! This is not a drill! Repeat. This is NOT a drill!"

Nigel heard Abby's voice as he was stationed outside. "Whatever there mission is, it must be important. But I can't let that stop me from doing what I need to do," he thought. And with that, Nigel quietly exited his pod and made his way into the moonbase.

Note: Apologies for the long update! I've been wracking my brain for what direction to take this story! I have so many ideas, but I can't seem to get the ideas on paper if you know what I mean.

The word "Crivvens" I found on Google. It's a Scottish exclamation of astonishment or terror that possibly refers to a shortening of "Christ's veins". According to Wiktionary. Basically, it means the same thing as "wow."
