Well, here's number 5!


Chapter 5: Are You Up To It?

As Numbuh One was polishing his dirty jetpack shoes, he didn't notice the Canine general and a team of other animals walking toward where he was. They all stared at the bald human boy in the red polo shirt and slacks. He then looked up to them. "Nigel, I'd like you meet your new team." General Pepper said to him as he was showing Star Fox. Nigel looked at them surprised and speechless. "I'll let you get better acquainted." General Pepper said to them walking away.

Numbuh One just kept staring at them, he was quite surprised. There was an awkward silence between them all.

"Well, aren't you gonna say something?" Krystal giggled, breaking the silence.

"O-Oh yeah, right!" Numbuh One said shaking his head, snapping out of his trance. "So, are you guys Star Fox?" the bald workaholic asked the animals.

"That's right." The leader, Fox answered. "Sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves, My name is Fox McCloud, the leader of the team, nice to meet you." Fox said to Numbuh 1 shaking hands.

"Name's Falco Lombardi, ace pilot of the team, don't forget it, okay? Okay!" Falco said playfully answering his own question and shook hands with the hairless English lead operative.

"My name's Slippy Toad, the mechanic of the team." The toad introduced himself to Numbuh 1 shaking his hand. "I'm good at building things, but my flight skills could be better." Slippy admitted.

"That's for sure." Falco said under his breath.

"Hello, my name is Krystal, welcome to the team." Krystal said to Nigel shaking his hand. "Thank you, Krystal." He said to her.

"And my name is Peppy Hare." The rabbit said to the bald kid shaking his hand. "I'm one of the founding members of this team." He told him. "Welcome to the team."

"Thank you, Peppy, it's nice to meet you all." Nigel said to the team. "My name is Nigel Uno, I'm numbuh 1 of the Kids Next Door."

"Kids Next Door?" Fox asked. "Oh yeah, the general told us you were the leader of an organization you were in." He remembered the generals words. "Can you tell us more about it and also, why you're here on Corneria."

"Well," Nigel began. "The Kids Next Door is an organization made by kids, for kids, we fight against adults and teenagers who hate children and want to see us suffer. "I was the leader of the Kids Next Door on Earth and I had a an amazing and talented team before I got promoted to higher ranks and I joined the Galactic Kids Next Door in space." He said. "A few day's ago, they sent me on a mission to find a Kids Next Door sector that was breached by an old enemy of me and my team back on Earth, but I lost my sense of direction and ended up crash landing here on Corneria, and for the next few days, I wandered through this planets rural section until I found this city and General Pepper found me, I told him about my mission I still needed to accomplish, and so he decided he wanted you guys to help me with this as a temporary member of Star Fox, I don't work with adults unless I can fully trust them and you guys sound like you're just that." Numbuh One completed his explanation.

"Interesting." Peppy concurred. "What's this old enemy of yours name, Nigel?" The old hare asked the bald brit.

"His name is, Count Spankulot." He answered. The team gave a puzzled look and were trying to suppress their laughter. Numbuh One wasn't surprised by this at all.

"Count SPANKULOT?" Falco asked in disbelief. "That sounds like a joke."

"I know his name may sound silly, and I thought he was a joke, but believe me Falco, he is more than meets the eye." Nigel declared. "His means of attack is spanking, they aren't lethal, but they hurt."

This only meant more laughing from the team. "Okay," Nigel said deviously. "I guess I didn't get to his most chilling attack, when he takes his gloves off, and he spanks you with his bare hands, he turn you into one of his minions!" This stopped the laughter in a heartbeat. "W-What?" Slippy asked shocked.

"Still think he's a joke? Numbuh 1 asked seriously. "On top of that, this base he breached is legendary and was always untouched until now."

"Nigel, Where is this base?" Krystal asked dying to know.

"It's in this place called Sector Z." Numbuh One answered. "Did you say Sector Z?" Fox asked bewildered.

"You've heard of Sector Z?" Nigel asked.

"Well this isn't good, not one bit." Fox said with concern.

"Sector Z is one of three nebulae in the system, it's where a catastrophic battle took place between the Cornerian Army and fleet of space pirates which the Cornerians won the battle, but after that, they were flaunting their victory and so we Cornerians never got around to cleaning up the debris that still covers that air, and so, it was abandoned." Peppy explained.

"These people that have put their base there must be really brave and good at taking risks." Fox told Numbuh One.

"Well their not in the Kids Next Door anymore, but they did leave their base untouched and clean and it shown no sign of aging or decaying and it's said that their is so many valuable and priceless items that people would kill to have as their own." The bald lad told the space animals.

"Well whatever this "Count Spankulot" wants from there, it's gotta be very important." Fox said. "General Pepper, sir," Fox turned to the general. "I thank you for the break, but i'm afraid it'll have to wait, we've got work to do at Sector Z." Fox told Pepper. "Well alrighty then, if it's important, then go and do what you do best, Star Fox!" General Pepper accepted. And after hearing what Nigel has told them, the other members were more than ready to go out into the galaxy once more.

And with that, Numbuh One followed Star Fox into the Great Fox and were ready for quite an adventure!


Meanwhile back at the GKND base...

Numbuh 100,000/Maia was worried sick about Numbuh One who hasn't been back for three days and she couldn't get a hold of him on their communicator.

"Supreme leader," Maia said directly at the supreme leader. "I'm worried about Numbuh 1, he hasn't been back for three whole days!"

"Numbuh 1?" She asked not really paying attention. "Oh, the hairless human." She then said in disgust now remembering who she was talking about. "I'll send out a search team, in the meantime, just go doing what you're doing." She told Numbuh 100,000.

"But supreme leader-," Maia said before the Supreme Leader cut her off, "That's an order!" She said in a booming voice.

So she did as she was told and went back to her room. She prayed that Nigel was safe and that he'd be back soon.

"Please oh please be safe, Nigel." She said to herself.


Whew! Chapter 5 is finished. I'm gonna need time to brainstorm for chapter 6, in the meantime, please review and let me know what characters you'd like for me to put in, I just might do it. I'm thinking about adding Chad/Numbuh 274 somewhere in this story but I have to think where to put him.

But anyway, review, review, like it's a chore! See ya guyz later.
