"Alright team," Numbuh 1 said to his fellow operatives, "whatever the Delightful Children are up to, we must put a stop to it." Sector V were outside their rivals' mansion, getting ready for a plan.
"Those dorks won't see use coming!" Numbuh 4 bragged.
"Numbuh 4, remember not to get cocky. We'll have to be ready for anything." Numbuh 1 reminded him.
"Numbuh 5 suggests goin' in through the air vents."
"They'll see that coming." Numbuh 2 said. "I think we should dig our way in."
"Worth a shot." Numbuh 1 said. They got to work making a tunnel. They dug for a while before they were right under the mansion.
"When I give the signal, we jump out and surprise those creeps!" Numbuh 1 told his teammates. But before he could, the team felt themselves being pulled upward!
It was some sort of digger machine that reached into the ground, a bit like one of those claw machine games at an arcade.
They heard those familiar voices in unison. "Ah, look at the prize we won. Those insufferable Kids Next Door. Well, you'll be 'Delighted' to know we have a surprise for you." The claw dropped them into a sort of giant blender-like machine.
"Huh? What's this thing?" Numbuh 2 asked.
"This is a very special version of the delightfulization chamber that created us. It's not nearly as powerful, but it does have a unique side affect." They pushed the button. The members of Sector V found themselves getting spun around very quickly.
Electricity crackled and hummed as the machine did its work. Then after a minute and a half, it stopped. Then a hole opened in the roof, and the operatives were launched back to their treehouse.
When they landed, they were covered under a big pile of wood and rubble. Their heads stuck out.. "Ugh, okay, I'm not sure if I feel much different. Team, sound off!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One! Okay, looks like we're all here."
Numbuh 2 boasted, "Maybe they're getting sloppy. That ray didn't do anything."
They got out of the pile, but that's when they noticed that the ray had done something after all!
All their heads were now attached to a single body with two arms and ten legs. Clockwise from the back, it was 4,5,2,1 and 3.
"What?!" They all yelled.
"Numbuh 5 thinks bein' a close team is important and all but this is a bit too much." She admitted.
"Aw, don't be a downer Numbuh 5, this feels kinda funny!" Numbuh 3 poked their body with one of the arms.
Numbuh 4 complained, "Hey! How come I got stuck with the cruddy backside?" His head was stuck around the back of the body.
Then they got a video call. Waddling on all ten legs, the team made their way to the monitor.
"Like our surprise?" the DC asked. They had made the call.
"What did you do?!" Numbuh 1 demanded.
"Well as you can see, Delightfulization brings about a sort of harmony between kids. No individuality whatsoever." To demonstrate, all five of them walked in different directions, only to all be pulled towards the same spot by an unclear magnetic force.
"We couldn't replicate the delightfulization process exactly, so we instead upgraded the harmony aspect. Now you're closer than ever." They started laughing.
"You get over here and undo this right now!" Numbuh 4 ordered. "We're not gonna be your replicas!"
"Too bad! You always wondered what it's like to be in our postion, so now you do!" the DC snapped, and hung up.
"How are we gonna fight adults like this?" Numbuh 3 wanted to know.
"Uhhh, we could take turns?" Numbuh 2 suggested.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to my room." Numbuh 4 tried walking back, only to make them fall over.
"We're not going to get anything done if we work against each other." Numbuh 1 said, making them get up. "Perhaps taking turns is the best suggestion for now. So what should we do?"
Before anyone could reply, another video call came through. It was Numbuh 362.
"Eyes front!" Numbuh 1 demanded, and his team tried to do a salute, but with only two arms, they fought over who got to do it.
"Numbuh 1, this is important, the Delightful…." She noticed something was up. "What the heck happened to you guys?!" she asked.
"The Delightful Children, that's what." Numbuh 1 said. "And we also got a glimpse of their plan."
"About that, Numbuh 1, it seems they're already luring in other sectors for similar experiments." Numbuh 362 explained.
"We gotta stop 'em before all our fellow operatives end up on the sideshow circuit!" Numbuh 5 said.
"Kids Next Door, battle stations!" Numbuh 1 ordered, but preparing for this mission was going to be difficult. Suffice to say, all five of them went in different directions yet again only to fall over.
"Well, this isn't gonna be easy huh?" Numbuh 2 pointed out. They did manage to gather all their equipment by taking turns, but it took a little longer than expected.
Finally they got into their 2x4 vehicle and were on their way. But it wasn't easy for all of them to drive.
"Guys come on let me drive!" Numbuh 2 complained.
"But I wanna drive too!" Numbuh 3 insisted.
"Hey if she gets a turn so should I!" Numbuh 4 yelled from the back.
"Will you two shut it? Let Numbuh 2 focus!" Numbuh 5 scolded them.
"Everyone just be quiet!" Numbuh 1 yelled. Because they were so busy arguing, they weren't paying attention to where they were going, and crashed the vehicle into the street. They were ejected from the wreck.
"This is why I'm the pilot." Numbuh 2 said.
"Oh, shut up!" said the others. Once they got out of the wrecked ship, it was a matter of infiltration.
"Okay, I'm not sure if we can dig underneath again this time. We'll need a new approach." Numbuh 1 directed.
"We could try disguising ourselves." Numbuh 3 said.
"Where are gonna find a costume to fit us all?" asked Numbuh 4. His question was answered with a big Rainbow Monkey suit.
"This is so humiliating."
"Awww, I've always wanted to wear this one but it was too big! Now we're the perfect size!" Numbuh 3 said as she made them do a cutesy pose. They walked over to the front door and rang the bell. The DC answered.
"That's strange." they said. "We didn't order a giant Rainbow Monkey." Yet it seemed the five ended up taking the toy to their room anyway.
Once they set it down and left, the Rainbow Monkey got up. Now the team had to find out what the DC's plan for using their improved delightfulization chamber was. They snuck out of the room and waddled towards the stairs.
"Okay remember, not a sound. This is about stealth." Numbuh 1 instructed. But they lost their balance, and tumbled down all the steps. They landed at the bottom, where the head of the suit came off.
"Why if it isn't the Rainbow Monkey Next Door." The Delightful Children said, revealing they were at the foot of the stairs.
"So, you infiltrated our home to try and mess with our delightfulization chamber? Well, we can't have that can we?" Seems it was time for them to summon their robot. But where would it come from this time?
The answer was right under Sector V! It burst from the floor, and grabbed them in its claw.
"So this is what's like to be a crane game prize." Numbuh 3 said.
"We already figured that out yesterday!" Numbuh 1 pointed out.
It would seem the claw trap from the other day was in fact part of the DCFDTL's robot.
"What are you gonna do with all our fellow operatives?" Numbuh 5 asked.
"Oh, just watch." the DC grinned, pushing a button. That's when another sector was grabbed from out of nowhere and shoved into the blender machine from earlier.
"Not this time!" Numbuh 1 called out, using their shoe and tossing it at the machine, tipping it over. Quickly, the other sector apprehended the DC, allowing Sector V to get inside the machine, and reverse its effects.
"We still have one last trick up our sleeves." One of them pushed a button on their watch."it's our delightfulization self destruct measure. It should spread a wave of our delightful energy across the whole block."
"How can we stop that?" Numbuh 2 asked.
The team had to think fast. At last, Numbuh 5 got an idea. She explained it.
"That's risky, but it just might work." Numbuh 1 admitted.
With a swift kick, Numbuh 5 made them launch the DCFDTL into the machine before it went off.
"Of course! The Delightful energy they have should absorb the ray's affects so it doesn't hit anyone else!" Numbuh 2 quickly surmised. There was an explosion of energy, and when the dust cleared, the DCFDTL found themselves in one body!
"Huh, we'll this isn't that much different." They said, already used to working as an individual.
And it seems the machine blowing up somehow undid the effects on Sector V!
"Alright! Now I can kick butt alone again!" Numbuh 4 said.
"Mission accomplished." Numbuh 1 smiled. He, his teammates, and the other operatives left.
"That was one of our strangest missions yet!" Numbuh 2 said. "I'm glad it's over."
As they walked off, Numbuh 3 asked, "Hey guys! Group hug?"
Everybody groaned together.
