In this chapter, Sector V is going to be sent to retrieve the KND Code Module. You should know just how important it is. How else would they recruit new KND members?

They'll have to face off against the T.R.A.P. Squad if they want it back, who as we previously established are powerful fighters...this is going to be one exciting mission.

Chapter 10: Retrieve The Module

Sector V was at their treehouse, waiting for another mission. It was only a matter of time before they were contacted by Numbuh 86, though they admitted that none of them (other than Numbuh 4) were terribly fond of her.

This one was going to be a big one...one that would potentially decide the future of the Kids Next Door.

They received a message from their radio.

Numbuh One went to investigate.

Something told him that this message was rather important.

It was from Numbuh 86.

"Sector V, we have an emergency!" exclaimed Numbuh 86.

"Yes, Numbuh 86?" inquired Numbuh One. Was the Moon Base under attack? He was wondering how their enemies were getting themselves into space. Rocket fuel didn't come cheap.

"There was a break in at the Kids Next Door Arctic Base! The Kids Next Door Code Module has been stolen!" shouted 86.

On the lighter side, they hadn't done anything to the ice cream storage. A lot of KND agents cried when Father melted their ice cream with his fire powers.

The five Sector V members gasped in surprise. Who would have thought that would have happened? They were under the impression that the villains wouldn't be able to get their hands on it considering how heavily guided it was.

If it truly had been stolen, chances are the Kids Next Door would be in a lot of trouble.

"What? That's terrible!" exclaimed Numbuh Two. How were they going to add new members to the KND if they didn't have the KND Code Module?

"I don't get it...how did our enemies get their hands on the KND module?" questioned Numbuh 5.

"Whoever stole it must have been pretty strong." noted Numbuh 362. Maybe not as powerful as Father himself, but still pretty strong.

"We need you to retrieve it immediately! It has information about every single KND agent!" bellowed the decommissioner. They didn't want Father to discover their weaknesses.

"We really should get on that..." nodded Numbuh 5.

"We certainly will. Do you know who the perpetrators are?" asked Numbuh One. It would be helpful to know who didn't it. Of course, he doubted that the Toiletnator was responsible.

"We found some surveillance footage...apparently, the culprits were former KND operatives...that are now teenagers." stated 86.

Numbuh One was never fond of teenagers...though perhaps when he became a teenager himself he wouldn't be such a bad person. He dedicated his life to the KND, after all. Rumor has it that there was a Teens Next Door organization...TND for short.

"Were they ever decommissioned?" asked Numbuh Two. If they were teenagers, that was probably the best course of action.

"Yes...but it seems Father managed to recommission them somehow." noted the red-haired girl. Who knew what technology Father possessed?

"That's not good..." noted Numbuh Five. If they received training from the Kids Next Door and remembered it, they could probably hold their own against their former comrades.

"I think I know who the culprits are...Agent 442, Agent 195, Agent 70, and Agent 188...their names are Peter, Amber, Rebecca, and Terrence. They used to be promising KND agents, but after they were decommissioned they fell into bad habits such as bullying others, laziness, harassing other children with their loud music, and riding motorbikes on the sidewalk..." remarked Numbuh 362.

"It's a shame that they used to be good KND agents..." noted Numbuh 3. Imagine if they were still part of the KND.

"Yeah...but adolescence can really bring out the worst in us. Not that all adults are bad though. I know that my mother is sweet and loving...I wish that all adults were like that. But unfortunately, they are not." said the leader of the KND, thinking about Father and his minions.

"I guess we better go after them." noted Numbuh 4.

"Be careful Sector V. If those former KND agents managed to take down the KND security guards at the arctic base by themselves, then there's no telling what they're capable of." warned Numbuh 362.

Numbuh One nodded. They were going to need to approach the four of them with caution.

On the lighter side, he had five members on his team including himself and there were only four teenagers on his foes' side. It looked like they had a slight number advantage.

Even so, he doubted that this was going to be an easy mission. These former KND agents were powerful.

"Keep in mind that you don't have too much time. If the KND code module makes it to Father, then we can consider it gone and in the hands of our enemies." stated Numbuh 362.

Numbuh One nodded. It was best that they didn't spend too much time at their treehouse.

The rest of the KND were counting on them for this mission. Counting to five.

Meanwhile...

Phineas and Ferb were working on an invention of theirs. They had built quite a few over the summer.

However, they had heard what had happened regarding the KND Code Module.

They sure hoped that everything would be OK.

They had joined the KND not too long ago.

It would be a shame if anything happened to them. They may have had a lot of KND agents but it also seemed like they had many foes.

"Gee Ferb, you think they'll recover the KND Module?" asked Phineas.

Ferb shrugged.

"I don't want the KND to be destroyed...they seem like good kids." noted the boy. Not to mention that they hadn't been part of the Kids Next Door for long.

Although, some of them had gone rogue. Rumor had it that each of the culprits were former KND agents.

It was sad that they had chosen to turn on the Kids Next Door despite being loyal to them previously. Perhaps this was why KND agents were decommissioned once they became thirteen.

Elsewhere...

Terrence pulled out a map detailing the quickest way to Father from their current destination.

They suspected that the KND would no doubt find out about the theft and would come after them.

But they were ready for them.

Father proceeded to contact them.

"Remember, if any members of the Kids Next Door try to stop you from sending the module to me, subject them to discipline." warned Father.

Rebecca nodded.

Of course, considering that she had a short temper, she probably would subject them to discipline even if Father hadn't instructed her to do so.

Since getting to Father's Manor from the arctic base was a long trip, the four of them decided to rest.

However, they remembered what Father had said. It seems that they weren't in the clear yet. No doubt the KND would want the KND Code Module returned to them.

"You think that the KND are going to come after us?" asked Amber.

Peter noted that WAS a possibility. However, part of him was looking forward to trouncing them. He was also looking forward to getting some exercise. It would help him win at games of football.

Fortunately, Terrence had already thought of that.

"Relax. They're not the only ones who have security systems. Why don't you demonstrate, Rebecca?" inquired Terrence.

Rebecca nodded. She spread out her hands and numerous guitar strings were spread out several feet across from where her teammates were sitting.

If anyone snagged one of the guitar strings, it would make noise and would alert the four of them of their presence.

"Finally! Now I can relax!" exclaimed Amber.

Amber went to sleep. She was a real slacker...which slowed down the team whenever they went on missions.

Rebecca rolled her eyes. Amber always did this during missions. It was annoying. Just like Terrence happened to be a show-off.

"I'm looking forward to them trying to get back the module to be honest. I can't wait to beat up some more KND agents!" exclaimed Peter.

Peter's weakness was that he liked to toy with his opponents instead of simply taking them down.

"We'll see if they show up." answered Rebecca. Though she didn't like to admit it, her weakness was her short temper. Still, it did help the others focus sometimes.

Terrence sat down next to his bike.

A short while later...

"So, this is where we'll find those former KND agents..." explained Numbuh 5.

"Say, what are these wires doing on the ground?" inquired Numbuh 2.

"Be careful, they seem to be tripwires. I suggest we don't snag them." warned Numbuh One. They didn't seem to be booby trapped, but they would probably alert the enemy of their presence.

The five of them nodded, and carefully began to step over them.

"We should also be careful not to talk too much. If those four teenagers find out about our presence, they'll most likely bolt." continued the bald leader of Sector V.

Numbuh 2 nodded. He doubted with his weight that he could outrun them.

Unfortunately, Numbuh 4 ended up snagging one of the tripwires.

Loud music began to play.

"Numbuh 4!" exclaimed Numbuh One.

"Sorry!" apologized Numbuh 4. He really needed to watch his step.

"It looks like we've lost the element of surprise..." noted Numbuh 5.

Well, at least they tried.

At that very moment, Rebecca woke up.

She realized that someone had activated one of the tripwires.

"Someone's coming!" exclaimed the guitar player.

The other three woke up as well...even Amber.

"I guess the KND are coming to take back what's theirs...too bad it's ours now." stated Terrence. They had no intention of returning it to the Kids Next Door.

"Get ready to arm yourselves!" shouted Peter.

"Fine..." answered Amber.

Immediately, the four of them began to arm themselves, as Terrence had ordered.

Sure enough, Sector V showed up.

"Would you look at that, it's the KND." stated Rebecca. How did she know that THEY were going to show up?

"Everyone open fire! Just don't hit the module!" exclaimed Numbuh One. Wouldn't want to break it, though it would be preferable to having it in enemy hands. It could probably be repaired anyway.

Sector V opened fire on the four teenagers.

However, Amber managed to protect her teammates by using a bubblegum shield.

Numbuh One's eyes widened in surprise.

"That is one powerful defense." said Numbuh 5. Was it possible for them to penetrate it somehow?

"Good work, Amber!" exclaimed Terrence.

Amber smiled.

"Now then, how shall we deal with these brats?" inquired Rebecca. She knew what Father had told them, naughty children deserved to be punished. Personally she would like to whack an obnoxious kid with her guitar...or zap them with electricity. It depended on her mood.

"Shouldn't we be heading to Father?" asked Amber. Father was expecting their company.

"Don't tell me you're slacking off again!" exclaimed the guitar player.

"Actually, that's a good idea." answered Terrence. Father probably didn't want to be kept waiting. They didn't want to spend too much time fighting off KND agents when they could be delivering the KND Module to him instead.

Fortunately, he had an idea.

"I think one of us should stay behind while the others go on ahead. When they're finished, they can catch up with us." stated the motorcyclist.

"Not a bad idea." nodded Amber. She just hoped that it wasn't her. She would rather take a snooze.

"Alright, who should stay behind? Personally I don't think these twerps are worth my time..." asked the guitar player.

Amber yawned.

"Count me out." said the gum-chewing girl.

"Typical." answered Rebecca. She was well-aware that Amber was a slacker.

"Peter?" asked Terrence.

Peter nodded, and cracked his knuckles.

"Let me handle this. I think I'll look forward to pulverizing them." said the jock.

The three of them nodded, and they left without Peter.

"Don't keep us waiting." said Rebecca.

"I won't." answered Peter.

Peter then pulled out some dodgeballs.

"Who's up for a game of dodgeball?" inquired Peter.

"This can't be good..." said Numbuh Two.

Peter began to throw dodgeballs at the five of them.

Frantically, they ran around to avoid being hit.

"Take cover!" warned Numbuh 5.

One of them hit Numbuh 2 in the stomach.

"Ow! My stomach!" exclaimed Numbuh 2, clutching it in pain.

This reminded him a bit when he was playing dodgeball in gym class. However, this seemed like a much more sadistic game. After all, he was dealing with a bully that was in high school.

This was followed by Numbuh One, who was hit in the face.

"Ow!" shouted Numbuh One.

Peter smirked.

"This is too easy..." remarked Peter.

"Oh yeah?" asked Numbuh 4.

"Oh look! The shorty thinks that he can challenge me!" exclaimed the bully.

"Don't call me short!" bellowed the blonde.

"But you are a shorty!" shouted Peter.

"You picking a fight with me?" asked Numbuh 4.

"Why not? It'll be fun!" exclaimed the bully.

"Alright then..." answered Wally. "Everyone, leave this guy to me..."

Wally raised his sleeves.

"Um, are you sure you can take him on alone?" asked Kuki. She wasn't exactly looking forward to Wally getting hurt. She was also aware at this point that Peter was a strong opponent.

"Well, he may have a point...the longer we spend fighting him, the further the rest of them will get away from us." stated Numbuh One.

And considering they had the KND Module with them, it was important that they managed to catch up with the trio before they reached Father's mansion.

"Alright. But be careful out there." said the bald boy.

The four of them left without Numbuh 4.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" asked Peter.

"Right now, they're not your concern!" exclaimed Wally.

Numbuh 4 punched Peter in the face while he was distracted.

He screeched in pain.

He promptly glared at Numbuh 4.

"That's it! You are going down!" exclaimed Peter.

"I'm not going down without a fight!" shouted Wally.

"I was hoping you would say that." remarked the bully.

There's a reason why the T.R.A.P. Squad are amongst Father's mightiest underlings, am I right? Peter's not even the leader of the four. Terrence is...in case you didn't know that already.

Can Wally defeat Peter? We can only hope. And yes, I decided it would be appropriate for Numbuh 4 to take on the not so lovable jock. Can you guess whose going to take on the other three members of the trio? Of course, that just leaves one...you'll see who they face.

Of course, even if Wally defeats him, the other four Sector V members still have the other three to deal with.

We can only hope that they can handle them. They may not be Father-caliber but they're definitely a credible threat to the Kids Next Door, I can tell you that.
