Hiya guys

Hiya guys! Time for another chapter of TKND! When we last left our heroes/heroines, the KND had captured the Spies and locked them in a cell ready for transfer to the Moonbase. Will they try to escape, who will they accept capture and wait it out? Read on to find out!

But first, to answer a few queries...

Phillips: Uh... Stripped and beaten up? This is only rated K+ for slight violence you know. Hehe.

Sakura Lisel: You'd think they would talk, but remember, the KND are idiots where life is concerned (Operation: Support for example) and are therefore more likely to attack first, ask questions later, although this can be a rather silly policy.

Em Phantom: Thanks for the tips on the grammar, I'll try and make sure I put those in. As for your other offer, thanks, but I think I'd like to try it alone for a bit. Thanks for the offer however and I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: Pbm23 does not own KND or anything to do with the two shows. I do however own Numbuhs 225-240 and 250-253.

The entourage of orange triangle ships jetted towards the shining spherical satellite that was the Moon, specifically towards the giant purple tree-like object bolted to its surface. Inside one of the ships, two teenage spies were just waking up.

"Aargh..." groaned Clover as she picked herself up from the cold metal floor of the cell she was locked in. "I feel like I just ran through a car wash..." Nearby, Alex was doing the same.

"Yeah, my legs are so stiff I can barely move them..." Clover looked at her.

"What exactly happened again?" she asked.

"We got attacked and knocked out," Sam's voice came from behind them. They turned happily to see her, but were greeted with a shock. Sam was lying on her back, her hands behind her head. "Now we're in space on a ship destined for who knows where." Her voice sounded sad and distant; she looked nothing like the confident, usually cheery person Clover and Alex were used to. Alex walked over to her and sat beside her.

"But why so gloomy?" she asked. "We'll just bust out, like we always do!" Sam shook her head.

"We can't." she sighed.

"Why not?!" Clover came over to, sitting on the other side of Sam. "We've done it loads of times before." Sam looked at both of them and then dipped her head down.

"Look, girls," Sam began. "I appreciate the optimism, but we can't get out. We've got no gadgets, each wall leads into space and the bars are electrified. We're stuck in here, until they let us out."

"Well, then," smiled Alex. "We'll wait until they do. Then give them a pounding." Just as Sam was about to reply, another voice cut across them.

"Well now... That's quite a nice plan." Numbuh 5 said from the other side of the bars. "Pity it won't work, but Numbuh 5 can tell you've been in dis sorta situation before." Clover got up and angrily walked over the bars.

"Oh yeah, creep? How would you know that?" Numbuh 5 smiled and yawned.

"The way you're acting. So, do you gals have names?"

"We'll never tell you." growled Clover. "You'll probably just use them against us in some way, so we're staying silent!" Numbuh 5 laughed.

"Heh, if you want to stay silent on an empty stomach that's fine by me." she said, producing three chocolate bars from her pocket. "Numbuh 5 just thought you might want to trade." Clover listened to the sound of her stomach grumbling and decided the situation was dire enough to give up.

"Fine, I'm Clover."

"I'm Alex."

"I'm Sam."

"Knew we'd get somewhere in da end." Numbuh 5 grinned. "Well then, Clover, Alex, Sam... Enjoy." She expertly tossed each bar of chocolate through the bars to the girls, then walked off. As the girls eagerly devoured the chocolate, they heard a voice cut clear across the entire ship.

"Captain! Receiving transmission from Moonbase Command. It appears to be Numbuh 362. Shall I connect?"

"Proceed, Numbuh 227. Numbuh 1, with me." Although the girls couldn't see the people (well, kids) involved, they could still hear the next conversation.

--

Rachel Mackenzie, a.k.a. Numbuh 362 of the KND, flicked back her blonde hair as the transmission screen in front of her activated, providing a link with the incoming ship. On the screen stood Numbuh 225 and Nigel Uno, both standing to attention and both had faces covered in bruises.

"At ease, troops." she ordered and they relaxed slightly. "How went the mission? I take it you won, since you're not covered in lipstick or makeup." The two boys grinned.

"It went great!" Nigel said. "Well, not too brilliant, but we still caught them."

"But Sector W's report was correct," said 225, more serious now. "The girls are brilliant fighters. Almost all of us were taken down and our lasers and rockets didn't hurt the girls too badly – they just seemed to make them even angrier."

"I'll have to look into that," Rachel agreed. "Now, as for a reward, Nigel – You and your sector shall receive A level commendations and a week's break from missions." There was cheering in the background, mostly emanating from the members of Sector V on the bridge.

"I'll see you in a sec, boys. You have permission to land in the main hangar. I want to meet these girls."

--

Twenty minutes later and the whole ship was alive with action as the it was being brought close to Moonbase Hangar 1, the closest hangar to Moonbase command, where Numbuh 362 had arranged a gathering of KND officers to meet with the girls. The girls would be interrogated and tested to see if they had any anti-kid tendencies, but until then, the Kids were taking no chance. 225 had tight electro-cuffs put on the girls' hands and feet before they even left the cell, then had them brought up to the bridge to show them where they were going.

"Drat, there goes our only escape route." grumbled Alex. Soon the Moon was in full view of the ship, but there was no sign of the Moonbase.

"Disrupt the M.C.S." 225 ordered. 227 flicked a few switches and, suddenly, a tree-like shape appeared on the Moon's surface, earning gasps from the three girls.

"Grand, isn't it?" asked 225, enjoying the girls' surprise.

"Uh, Yeah," Sam confirmed. "But it looks a bit... Poorly made."

"Well, it's only 39 gazillion tonnes of metal and duct tape," said Numbuh 1 from behind them. "I suppose it's hard to make a masterpiece with just that." The girls stifled a laugh. Then, suddenly, a green beam of light shot from the side of the base, pulling them towards it.

"Is this normal?" asked Clover over the roar of the ship being pulled into the base.

"No," Numbuh 1 yelled back. "It's normally a lot worse! We can't normally land in this hangar!"

Then, suddenly, there was darkness outside the ship. A hatch at the side opened.

"Everyone out!" ordered 225. Everyone did move out, Sector V at the front, the prisoners in the middle and 225's troops at the back. At the edge of the hangar, Numbuh 1 and 225 ordered Sector V and the others to wait while they continued on through the outer doors.

"This is a bit deserted." commented Alex as they walked through the corridors. "I was expecting lots of kids running everywhere."

"This area's restricted at the moment," answered Numbuh 1. "There's a big meeting about to happen and you'll soon know why." The girls looked at each other, shrugged and kept walking. Eventually, they came to a large set of double doors, which 225 opened and pushed the girls through.

"Wait there," he said. The girls heard "Numbuh 1, go through the first door on the left up that corridor." before he closed the door.

--

The girls waited for five minutes in the silent, dark room before they started to get worried. There was a faint chattering, a whispering, which started to grow louder and louder at one end of the room.

"Uh, girls..." Alex whispered. "I'm scared!" Suddenly, two lights came on, beating back some of the shroud of darkness. One spotlight was on the girls, whilst another was on a new figure on a podium at what now seemed to be the front of the hall. She was a girl with blond hair, wearing an orange jumper and a colander customized into a samurai helmet with two pieces of metal arcing up into a number – 362 – at the top.

"Welcome to the Moonbase, ladies," the girl spoke, in the same voice that the girls recognized from the communication they'd heard earlier. "We'd like to have some words with you." Finally, all the lights came on, revealing four more kids right behind the girl, only one of which the girls recognized: the one called Numbuh 1.
