In this chapter, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet are going up against Count Spankula. After that Perry the Platypus is going to go out on another mission. Dr. Doofenshmirtz has apparently been buying a lot of fruit and vegetables as of late...
Chapter 5: Count To Five
Phineas was currently gazing at the moon. It certainly was nice tonight. Maybe if he was lucky he would find a shooting star. However, in a sense, he had already been granted a wish by being allowed to join the KND.
"Maybe I should get Ferb to come with me...he might find more constellations than I have..." remarked Phineas. Recently he had discovered a constellation that resembled his face. He had no idea why there was a constellation out there that resembled his face...but considering that there was a bunny and his blender that resembled him and Ferb, maybe it wasn't too surprising.
However, his brother was currently sleeping. He didn't want to wake him up. His teammates were currently dozing off as well. Hopefully they would be well-rested for when Agent 86 sent them out on a mission.
Also, it was a full moon tonight. But since he wasn't a werewolf, that wasn't really a concern of his. Besides, it looked a bit like a disco ball.
"You know, this reminds me a bit when I drove a rocket into outer space..." thought Phineas. He sure had met a lot of aliens. Was he the first person to discover extraterrestrial life?
Of course, it was a rather special night...it was the first night of him and his friends being members of the Kids Next Door. Now he was going to have to fight adult tyranny.
Fortunately, things seemed rather quiet in his neighborhood. Perhaps he would get to take a day off...or a night rather. And yet, something was rather eerie about it.
"Maybe I should investigate my surroundings a bit more..." thought Phineas. He was starting to feel a bit worried. Was somebody watching him?
Little did he know that at that very moment one of the KND's foes was planning to strike. He had heard that new KND agents had been recruited recently and he had decided to do something about it. The less KND agents that were in the world, the more children he could spank without facing repercussions.
"So, some naughty children are joining the KND, huh? I guess I should give them a spanking! It will serve them right for helping my enemies!" remarked a voice.
As it turned out, it was Count Spankula, a local vampire that went after KND agents to give them a spanking. He could also turn people into vampires and have them assist him...though the transformation would wear off if the affected agents were defeated.
Typically, he spoke in a Romanian accent...since he was a vampire.
And unfortunately, he had set his sights out on Phineas and his friends. They were going to have to get ready to fight. Of course, one couldn't expect anything else from the Kids Next Door, could they?
Immediately, Count Spankula lifted up his cloak, revealing a swarm of bats. As you could well imagine, Count Spankula was regularly associated with them.
"Get them, my friends! Show them what happens when you join the KND and make life miserable for the adults!" exclaimed the vampire.
The bats immediately flew out of his cloak, ready to attack Phineas and his friends.
At that very moment, Phineas went back inside the treehouse. He was feeling rather sleepy.
However, he began to hear something.
"Huh? What's going on?" questioned the boy.
Curious, he decided to pull out a flashlight. This was rather suspicious.
As it turned out, it was the bats. None of them looked rather friendly. Something was wrong.
"I've got to do something!" exclaimed Phineas.
Fortunately, he had installed a security system for such a situation.
Immediately, he went over to a big red button that was on the wall.
He ran up to it and pressed his hand on the button.
Shortly afterward, an alarm went off throughout the treehouse.
At that very moment, his teammates woke up from their naps. They all wondered why exactly Phineas had decided to sound off the alarm.
"What is going on here?" asked Buford. He sure hoped that Phineas wasn't trying to prank his teammates. Of course, it could simply be a drill.
"Yeah...I was getting my beauty sleep..." replied Isabella. Since it was Phineas, she would let it slide.
Immediately, she started to yawn.
"We're under attack!" warned Phineas.
At that very moment, the bats that Count Spankula had sent earlier began to approach them.
"Oh no! It's a swarm of bats!" bellowed Baljeet. Were they living in a treehouse or a cavern? Either way, it looked like they are in trouble.
Sure enough, the bats were getting ready to attack them. Strangely, they seemed to be trying to...spank them. It was most peculiar.
However, he decided that he wouldn't dwell on that. He needed to defend himself...and so did his teammates. Phineas got the feeling that this was the work of an evil adult...but he wasn't quite sure which one.
Fortunately, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford brought water guns, similar to the ones that Phineas and Ferb had used against the Toiletnator earlier.
Immediately, they used the squirt guns to shoot at the bats. Hopefully that would ward them off.
Gradually, they began to retreat. It looked like they didn't want to stick around when their enemies were armed and dangerous.
"Phew! Thanks for the help!" exclaimed Phineas. He doubted that he could take on all those bats by himself.
"Can we get to bed now?" inquired Buford. He needed to rest so that he could pester nerds tomorrow.
Somehow, Ferb got the feeling that they shouldn't go to bed just yet.
"I wonder why there were bats attacking us in the first place..." answered Baljeet. It was rather unusual.
Suddenly, they began to hear evil laughter. Apparently, they weren't out of danger just yet.
"This is creeping me out..." remarked Baljeet.
"Huh? Whose laughing?" inquired Phineas. He didn't see what was so funny about what had happened a few minutes ago.
"It is I, Count Spankula! I'm going to teach you a lesson about joining the KND!" exclaimed Count Spankula.
"Hmm...he doesn't seem too happy that the KND recruited new members..." remarked Isabella.
Immediately, Count Spankula grabbed onto the closest KND agent to him...which just so happened to be Baljeet.
He then proceeded to spank him.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" exclaimed Baljeet. This was really painful.
"Serves you right for helping my sworn enemies!" shouted Count Spankula. Tomorrow night maybe he could visit Sector V. Incidentally, when you put Sector V and Sector P together, you got VP. It was rather interesting.
Buford was not happy about this. He had been spanked by his mother a few times and he knew that it was not a fun experience. He wasn't going to let Baljeet experience it. Besides, he was a much nicer boy than he was.
"Hey! Nobody bullies my nerd except for me!" bellowed Buford.
"Isn't that hypocritical?" inquired the count.
"I'm still not letting you do it!" exclaimed the bully.
Immediately, he threw garlic at Count Spankula. He had in fact been saving it for a snack for when he woke up...but he decide now would be a good time to use it too.
Count Spankula gasped in shock as the garlic was tossed at him.
"No! I'm allergic!" exclaimed the vampire.
Unsurprisingly, he began to cough and gag, dropping Baljeet on the floor in the process.
"Thanks, Buford." stated Baljeet. Any more spanking and he wouldn't be able to sit down.
"That seemed to be effective!" exclaimed Phineas.
However, he was not going down so easily.
Immediately, he released more bats from his cloak.
However, Phineas and his friends squirted them away once again.
"You kids are stubborn, aren't you?" inquired the count. This wasn't really what he was expecting from a group of fresh recruits.
In retaliation for spanking him, Baljeet squirted him with mustard.
"Ugh! For fresh KND agents you're awfully strong!" remarked Count Spankula. If they kept it up, he just might end up going down.
So, he decided to raise the stakes.
Immediately, he produced four copies of himself.
"Now there's five of him? This is going to be harder than we thought..." answered Phineas. Though Count Spankula was not nearly as powerful as Father, he was fairly strong regardless. Father certainly valued him.
"At least he isn't trying to bite us in our necks..." remarked Ferb. He would need a cookie and some juice.
"Now I can spank all of you at once! It's rather convenient, wouldn't you say?" inquired Count Spankula.
"It certainly is..." nodded Baljeet nervously.
Fortunately, none of the clones were as resilient as the original. They burst into dust once they were squirted with their water guns.
"This may be a problem..." remarked Count Spankula.
Ferb then followed with a karate chop to Count Spankula's back. It was a good thing that he took karate classes. It also helped that he had done some training at the Arctic Base.
"Ow! My back!" exclaimed Count Spankula. For a kid Ferb seriously packed a wallop.
Ultimately, he decided that perhaps it would be best for him to retreat. It would certainly be preferable to being sent to the KND Arctic Base. He would have to look at children and wouldn't be able to spank them.
Besides, he heard that the ice cream men had been arrested recently.
Immediately, Count Spankula turned into a bat and flew out the window.
Phineas sighed in relief shortly afterward.
"I think our first night as KND agents was a success, wouldn't you say?" inquired Phineas.
"I wonder if there are other villains like that out there..." questioned Isabella.
"If that's the case we'll need to be cautious..." noted Baljeet.
"I'm sure that I can take them!" exclaimed Buford.
"I guess now we can go back to bed..." noted Ferb.
Phineas nodded. He and his friends went back to sleep. It had been a rather exciting night, but they had ultimately come out on top.
The next day...
Once again, Phineas wondered where Perry had gone. He had been in his treehouse a few minutes ago. Maybe he could ask Numbuh One if he had seen him.
Well, since he was typically back by the end of the day, Phineas decided he probably shouldn't worry about him. Besides, he was probably going to be called out on a mission
As it turned out, Perry the Platypus was going out on a mission.
"Good morning, Agent P...Dr. Doofenshmirtz has bought a lot of vegetables and fruits lately...we believe that he may be cooking something evil." explained Major Monogram.
Agent P wondered what Dr. Doofenshmirtz would possibly want with all those vegetables. He doubted that he was planning to make a salad...unless of course it was an evil salad.
At that very moment, Carl approached Major Monogram. He looked sick to his stomach.
"What's the matter?" asked Major Monogram.
"I think I ate too much food..." stated Carl.
"Eat food in moderation, Carl!" demanded the major.
"Yes, sir." nodded Major Monogram's assistant.
"Now then, where was I? You probably know where Dr. Doofenshmirtz's lair is, do you not?" inquired Major Monogram.
Perry the Platypus nodded. It was at Dr Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, like it always was.
Immediately, he saluted Major Monogram with respect and went back the way he came. Now all that he needed to do now was get a taxi and head to Dr Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.
Little did he know that he was going to be facing a rather different villain...
It looks like Phineas is going to have to figure out how to take down a vampire. Meanwhile, Perry the Platypus has his hands full too.
