Operation: LAMP (Lads Acquire Magical Pot)

by movieNcartoons

Set after the events of the series finale of "Codename: Kids Next Door," the four remaining members of Sector V find themselves owners of a lamp that contains a magical wish-granting Genie, unaware that the evil Jafar, who also craves the lamp's power, has plans to get rid of the Kids Next Door. The first Cartoon Network/Disney crossover since "Ed, Edd n Eddy in Wonderland."

5. Missing Numbuh One

Once Sector V returned to their treehouse, Numbuh 5 said. "Man, that was intense!"

"You said it." agreed Numbuh 2.

"Yeah, who knew that teller would go bonkers?" said Numbuh 4.

"At least, we got our own share of the candy from the ship." Numbuh 3 said, carrying a large sum of candy in her arms, hurrying past her teammates.

"Bet I can beat you at Yipper." Numbuh 2 said to Numbuh 4, who said back. "You're on!"

Numbuh 5 watched them go, then turned to the hall that leads to Numbuh 1's room.

Numbuh 1 (Nigel Uno) was the leader of Sector V, but was chosen to join the Galactic Kids Next Door, leaving his second-in-command, Numbuh 5 in charge.

As she looked around the room, Numbuh 5 stared at Numbuh 1's glasses on top of his bed, which she walked towards and sat, staring at the glasses while recalling their last moment together.

"You were a better leader than I ever was. So lead Sector V." Numbuh 1's voice echoed inside her head, from which she heard her own voice say. "But..it won't be Sector V...without you."

"It was before and it will be after."

The thought of those final words made Numbuh 5 feel misty-eyed.

At the TV room, Numbuhs 2 and 4 were playing a Yipper video game while Numbuh 3 was having a party with her toys.

"Game Over!" the deep voice said from inside the game.

"Well, I guess that settles that." Numbuh 2 said, feeling proud of himself for beating Numbuh 4, who started to burst when Numbuh 5 came inside the room, sitting at the blue couch beside the orange one.

"You were in there again, were you?" asked Numbuh 2, to whom Numbuh 5 nodded silently.

Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 looked at each other, then went to sit with Numbuh 5, to whom Numbuh 2 said. "You know, you're not the only one who missed Numbuh 1."

"We all miss him." added Numbuh 4.

Numbuh 5 sighed with despair. "Numbuh 5 would give anything to see him again."

"Hi, Numbuh 86!" Numbuh 3 greeted once she saw the Global Tactical Officer of the Kids Next Door on the screen.

"Oh, no." groaned Numbuhs 2 & 4.

"Spare me the hellos, Numbuh 3." said Numbuh 86. "Global Command wants all of you at Moonbase on the double!"

"Aw, can't it wait 'till tomorrow?" asked Numbuh 5.

"That was an order, not a request, Numbuh 5!" said Numbuh 86. "Now, get you lazy selves up here, pronto!"

"Boy, is she uptight." Numbuh 2 whispered to Numbuh 4.

"I heard that!" Numbuh 86 shouted, startling them both.
