A/N: Finally! A new chapter. Though no one is really reading this fic, so I can slack off a little. :)
The Sector V part is more filler stuff...though Numbuh 257C might appear again in the story.
Fanny: Shut up! You're ruining the story!
Well, sorry.
Dang! I forgot to add the disclaimer in the first part. Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for Numbuh 2x squared and 257C.
Enjoy! ...and stuff.
Chapter 3
Sector V:
Numbuh 2 pulled up the "gas station." An octopus alien was standing on the platform of the station. It was a metallic purple, and wore a top hat with greenish-gray goggles around the hat. One of his eyes were noticeably larger than the other.
Sector V stepped out onto the station, and was immediately greeted by the alien. It blurbled an incomprehensive language.
"Uh…what?" Numbuh 5 asked. The top hat on the alien's head suddenly separated into two parts: the flat part of the hat and the cylindrical part, revealing a bunch of gears in the hat. The cylindrical section of the hat spun around, and the goggles shot out a green beam of light from its eyepieces, scanning the foursome. With a whir, the top hat returned to normal.
"Well, howdy there!" the alien said loudly in a Texan accent. "What bring y'all to the Galactic Kids Next Door Fuel and Food Station?"
"Um…we kind of need to fix our ship," Numbuh 2 said, looking pointedly over his shoulder at the S.T.A.R.W.R.E.C.K.
The alien seemed to notice the gihugeic ship for the first time. "Well, I'll be! If it isn't a genuine S.T.A.R.W.R.E.C.K.!" it exclaimed, pronouncing "genuine" like "gen-you-wine."
"I'm Numbuh 257C," it continued, extending half of its tentacles towards the perplexed members of Sector V for them to shake. (A/N: Get it? Because gas ignites at 257 degrees Celsius. And he operates the gas station…) "I'd reckon y'all be from Earth. Though I shoulda known from my trusty lil' H.A.T. here. It shows which planet y'all are from and what language I should speak in."

"Now, let's get to work on that ship of yours." Numbuh 257C put a tentacle in its mouth and whistled loudly. An assortment of robots, some flying and some rolling, headed towards the S.T.A.R.W.R.E.C.K. and began working on it.
"Wow…thanks," Numbuh 2 said.
"I'm Numbuh 5," Numbuh 5 said (obviously). "We're looking for the GKND, but our coordinates got wiped when the teens attacked our ship."
"Teenagers? They followed you here?" Numbuh 257C frowned. "Well, I can give ya the coordinates, but y'all had better be careful no one else follows you."
In no time, the S.T.A.R.W.R.E.C.K. was fixed, and Numbuh 257C programmed the coordinates into the module. Finally, Sector V was airborne again.
At the Moonbase:
"I have the paperwork you need to sign, Supreme Leader, sir!"
"Are we still decorating the Moonbase for Christmas, Numbuh 60, sir?"
"Numbuh 86, sir, how do you put this antenna together?"
"Numbuh 60—" "Numbuh 86—" "Supreme Leader, sir—"
"SHUT UP!" Numbuh 86 finally yelled, which she is very good at. "One idiot at a time!" She whirled around to face Numbuh 60.
"You sign the paperwork," Numbuh 86 ordered, jabbing a finger at him. "Even an idiot like you couldn't mess that up." Numbuh 60 turned to the gihugeic stack of paperwork Numbuh 65.3 was carrying without a word. Oh well. It's better than getting yelled at, or dealing with all those operatives.
"Who's first?" Numbuh 86 demanded. The crowd of operatives was finally silenced, except for Numbuh 86 screeching about how stupid some of the boys were once in a while.
Finally, at around 5 PM, the Supreme Leaders flopped down into their chairs. Or rather, they flopped down into the same green armchair Numbuh 362 used to sit in, at the same time.
"Hey! I was sitting here first!" Numbuh 60 grumbled.
"No, I was!"
"Get off of me!"
"You get off!"
After a lot of shoving, there was a pause. "We're stuck, aren't we?" Numbuh 60 said.
"Great! Now I'm squished next to a stupid boy, stuck in an armchair!" Numbuh 86 began ranting. (A/N: Lol, imagine Numbuh 60 and 86 with both of their butts stuck in the same armchair and Numbuh 86 screaming her head off. xD)
Numbuh 60 sighed. This day could not get worse.
Triopolis:
"Whoa!" Numbuh 1 gazed out at the scene before him. They were on planet Triopolis, and they were standing before the main city. All of the buildings were tall, thin skyscrapers made out of crystal. People, or rather, aliens, in the streets below flew around on silver, high-tech hoverboards.
"Wow! This is great! But where's the Treehouse?" Numbuh 1 asked Numbuh 74.239.
"Over there." Numbuh 74.239 pointed to a tree off to the side of the city. The tree was similar to the GKND base's tree, but the Treehouse itself was made out of random objects, like the Treehouses on Earth.
Numbuh 74.239 piloted the hovercraft they were riding on towards the Treehouse, then stepped towards the door of an A2 supersonic jet that had been smashed into the tree, on the invisible floating stairs. (A/N: If you don't know what an A2 supersonic jet is, SHAME ON YOU) He took a silver card out of his lab coat pocket and slipped it into a slot next to the door. A speaker above the door that Numbuh 1 hadn't noticed before said, "Welcome, Numbuh 74.239. Sector XQR is not present at the moment, but you may make yourself at home."
"Darn it! They're probably on a mission or something…" Numbuh 74.239 stepped inside as the door slid open, followed by Numbuh 1, who looked around with great interest. The walls in the "living room" were purple-colored glass, showing the next room with a purple tint. There were no doors, just empty doorways. A silver robot maid rolled around, sweeping the polished wooden floor. The "living room" was pretty small, with only a high-tech, big-screen TV in front of a long white couch.
The "living room" was surrounded by four rooms: two on top and two on either side, but there were only doorways to the rooms for three of them: the two on top and the room on the left. The top left room led to the kitchen, which also had a wood floor and colored glass walls, though the kitchen's walls were tinted pink. In the left side of the room was an upside-down L shaped counter. On the right wall was an cylindrical elevator, made of plexiglass instead of metal.
"I don't have time to show you the whole Treehouse," Numbuh 74.239 said, heading for the elevator. "Your sector will do that. But I have to at least show you the control room." He slipped his card into another slot next to the elevator door, and it also slid open. The elevator went a lot faster than normal elevators, and they were at the top of the Treehouse in no time.
Numbuh 1 gasped as they reached the control room. The control room was actually an oversized Zorb ball (A/N: You know, those giant hamster balls for humans.) and the elevator fit right through the opening of the ball. (A/N: That sounded wrong. xD) Control pads lined the inner circumference of the control room, and a giant, clear screen covered the half of the ball that the two operatives were facing, providing a clear view of the city below.
"The screen's only see-through when it's turned off," Numbuh 74.239 explained, pressing a button on one of the control pads. The screen flickered to life, and it showed Triopolis.
"Here's a little geology lesson." Numbuh 74.239 swept his hand over a touch screen, causing the Triopolis on the screen to turn around and zoom in a little. "That's the main city. This is where we are right now." The model planet spun so it showed the bottom of the planet. "That is the Snowdust mountain range. You don't want to go there. No alien can survive its freezing conditions, much less humans. The rest of the whole planet is covered with water, with a few islands here or there."
Numbuh 1 opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly, the door of the elevator burst open.
-Transmission Interrupted-
A/N: Cliffy!
I didn't want to add the Triopolis part, but if I didn't, then there would be no 3/4 in the next chappie...and yes, I guarantee there will be 3/4 in the next chapter. Cross my heart and hope to die.
Yay! My chapters are getting A LOT longer. :D
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was watching Operation MOON...the first part is hilarious! xD
