I catch myself thinking back to the good old days more than she'd like to admit. Back when all five of us were together. When it was just me, Two, Four, Three, and...him. Nigel. Numbuh One. Our ex-leader. He left for better things. Gave Numbuh Five his glasses, and with them her role as leader back. That's right, before he joined the Kids Next Door I was the leader of Sector V. Numbuh 5 was actually happy when he took over, but then he had to leave… I still have the other three though. Well; most of the time. Lately us four have been split up a lot. Can't say I like that.

Numbuh Two called over to me from the driver's seat of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. "Hey, Abby!"

"Yeah, what?" I questioned.

"You okay? You seem a little out of it today," he said, worry apparent in his voice.

"Don't you worry. Numbuh Five is just fine.", I lied. We were all getting closer to the age of thirteen. That's the age when people get their memories wiped and are forced to quit in the KND. Unless they are aloud to join The Teens Next Door; A secret branch of the KND. Numbuh Five is pretty sure she's one of the only members of Sector V who knows that the TND even exists. I want to tell them. I wanted them all to know that we have that slim slim chance to still be together, and be friends once we've turned thirteen, but I'm not allowed to talk about the TND. I wasn't even suppose to find out, but she did. Which makes me feel guilty.

"Um, Five?" He called over again.

"Hmm?"

"Do you remember where Four and Three were sent? I can't quit-"

"Mount Blackhead.", I interrupted. "Yuh know the jungle outpost.", I continued. "Numbuh Five thinks they're training new recruits there or something." Numbuh Two laughed at this.

"Hahaha! That's right! Man, I can't believe the higher ups think that having those two train the new kids is a good idea! Kuki maybe, but Wally!?"

"Yeah crazy." I chuckled halfheartedly.

"Hmm, looks like we're almost at your drop point. Get ready to-" Before he could finish his sentence a something from above collided against the side of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. before descending closer to the ground before, "Whoa whoa whoa!", he screamed while trying to regain control. I held onto my seat with an iron grip so I wouldn't go flying into the other side of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. "What in Sweet Soda Acres was that!?", he screamed.

"Probably the adults trying to get an upper hand.", I suggested.

"I don't think any of the adults we know can do that! Alright, I think I've got the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. back under control.", he informed me. "But what was that?! It was glowing and green!"

"You're right we should go check it out.", I agreed.

"What?! No, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what I meant at all!", he yelled at me frantically.

"Well, what else are we suppose to do?", I questioned him.

"Go on the mission that we were assigned?", he asked in an almost sarcastic tone.

"The mission involves Toiletnator. Low priority. Numbuh Five thinks it can wait a little bit, don't you?", I said with a smirk.

"Well maybe but…", he trailed off.

"Numbuh Five thinks you should stop acting like a baby.", I goaded.

"I'm not being a-ugh! Think about it Five! Going down there is probably a really bad idea. I mean think of all the horror movies that start out like this? Two random kids are having a super boringtastic day. Then, out of no where, a strange green thing crash lands into Earth! Those kind of things never end well.", Two ranted.

"Which is exactly why we should go check it out. If it's dangerous we'll be able to keep it from hurting other kids!" I reasoned.

"But…" He tried.

"Numbuh Five thinks anything will be better than having to waste our time dealing with the Toiletnator." I goaded once more.

"Ugh! Fine we'll go check it out. But if I die I'll haunt you!"

I chuckled at that as he landed the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. near the site of impact. We geared up before we got out. Numbuh Two was wearing his F.L.A.P.P.U.H. and armed himself with a B.L.A.Z.E.R. while I armed myself with a C.H.E.E.Z.O.O.C.K.A. I walked out confidently while he trailed behind me nervously. As we neared the smoking crater I couldn't help but admit to myself that I was a little nervous too. Of course I'd never admit to anybody,

"Ugh, it reeks!", Two said as the smoke entered his nose. Which I had to admit was true. In fact it smelled almost as bad as the Crazy Cat Lady's house! A bit worse than Numbuh Four's room actually. Both being feats within themselves. As we finally got to the crater I looked down at what had made the hole in the first place.

"What on Earth?", I heard myself say.

"This can't be good.", Two said nervously, "Abby we should get out of here and call for backup."

I realized he had a good point but I couldn't look away. This so called "comet" was one of the strangest things I had ever seen. It was egg shaped and something that looked like vines were growing around it. Neither of those were the reasons I couldn't look away though. It was the green glow coming off of the "comet."

"Come on Abby!", Two said as he tugged at my arm. We didn't get a chance to move a safe distance away though. What we would later know as a "Terrafuser", the comet, began to convulse and boil as huge bubbles formed and popped just as quick as they appeared. Each time a bubble popped the "comet" released disgusting smells. Smells far worse than either of us have ever been forced to breath. Then the blobs started to form. They started as bubbles, but instead of popping they filled with a green liquid. As they got bigger they gained eyes and mouths. The creatures then messily separated from the "comet", leaving strings of goo behind them as they forced themselves further and further away from what had given them life. To a person who hadn't just witnessed what we did, they were just blobs. Red-eyed green blobs with fangs. To anyone who saw them for the first time they'd probably look cute. Something that wasn't a threat. In the early days that's how people got killed. I didn't let my guard down though, not completely. When they started pouncing at us, I was ready. Shooting them with my C.H.E.E.Z.O.O.K.A. while Two used his F.L.A.P.P.U.H. to get high in the air so he could cover me. As time went on it only got worse. Soon enough my weapon was only half full and the blobs just kept coming, constantly generating from the "comet." Eventually there weren't just blobs but also bug like creatures that seemed to have been made purely to chase Two.

"Jeez!", Two yelled as one of the "bugs" tried tackled him, "What's bugging you?", he said

as he fired his B.L.A.Z.E.R. at it. The "bugs" however didn't go down easily. In fact his pun seemed to make them more determined to take him down. Not that I could blame them.

"Aaaaah!", he screamed as one successfully knocked him out of the air. "Five! I think it's time for a tactical retreat!", he yelled as he started towards the S.C.A.M.P.E.R.

"Agreed!", I said as I ran after him, shooting every few seconds. We made it into the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. but those green blobs of goo weren't far behind.

"C'mon baby power up!", Two yelled frantically to the machine, "We need you more now than ever!", then they started hitting the side of the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. The little blobs ran into it full force over and over again while the "bugs" shot green orbs. "Five the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. can't take this kind of abuse! I need you to get them away from here!", he yelled at me as he started pulling and rearranging wires and cords.

"And just how do you expect Numbuh Five to do that?!", I yelled back, "For one Numbuh Five can't exactly walk out the door! That and the C.H.E.E.Z.O.O.K.A. is empty!"

"Take this!", he said as he pulled a S.P.I.C.E.R. out from under his seat. "You're going to have to figure out the rest. Good luck!", he said as he handed it to me. I sighed as I looked at the door. With what I was about to do.

"Raaaahhh!", I screamed as I ran out the door and started firing at the blobs. As soon as I started firing most of them ran and flew in the opposite direction. "Hah! Looks like lady luck is on Five's side after all.

"Bzzzzz", one of the two bugs that were brave enough to stay screeched as it tried to dive bomb me. Two shots and it went down. The other was smarter, it let the blobs be my main target while it stayed a distance and fired green orbs at me. That's when the light show started. Horrible red streaks of light began flowing through the sky like waves on a shore. Each time one passed the sky changed color until the bright blue was replaced with a sickly green. Each time a red streak passed I became more and more disoriented, missing my targets. By the time the sky had turned green I felt sick to my stomach, but I kept shooting to the best of my ability. I knew that I had to keep these things away from Two, from Hoagie.

"Five I did it! She's running!", he yelled to me from the door but when I turned something awful happened. The entire S.C.A.M.P.E.R., and Numbuh Two were covered in a white glow. I reached out to call to him, to warn him, but when I saw it I pulled back. My hand was glowing too. "Abby! Why are you glowing?! What's goin-", he didn't get to finish before my entire field of vision whited out. When I could see again the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and Two were nowhere to be seen. I could however see that the blobs were a distance away now, far enough away that they apparently couldn't see me. I distinctly remember thinking "A negative and a positive, great.", I didn't get time to dwell on what had just happened to me however. Next thing I knew a green and black car, driving on a road that hadn't even been here before, was honking crazily as it hurdled right towards me.


To the guest who alerted me of this chapter being "broken" and "unfinished" I must say thank you! Last time I had checked the chapter it was perfectly fine and had no such problems. That and it uploaded fine to Devianart. I suppose that it was corrupted somewhere between going from my computer to this site. I'm sincerely sorry to anyone that this annoyed. Again thank you mysterious guest person, I would have never known unless you alerted me! I'd hug you if we were't separated by computer screens!
