"Is this thing on?"

"I don't know. But the camera thing works!" the bubbly girl assures him.

The aviator-hooded blue American boy is inspecting the problem with the camera lens. The short orange-hooded boy also holds the flashlight and wrench, trying to help the inventor-turned-repairer, but his usefulness is to be questioned, as the repairer wondered. The happy-go-lucky Asian girl is trying to help. Still, she can only offer some emotional guidance and interest spark, further motivating the inventor-to-repairer to fix the large camera, provided by the Kids Next Door. While cooking the pancake, the red-capped sector leader tries to check the video camera – probably made up of duct tape, candies, and bubble gums. However, despite being long experienced in Kids Next Door, she is not entirely adaptable to developing technology. No one of them realized that the camera was on!

"Just touch this button over here. Augh! Let me fix it!" the short boy attempts to instruct the girl.

Then, the short boy blocks the camera with his orange hoodie, who is trying to help the girl.

"Psst, guys. It's recording-" the inventor informs the duo.

Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 face the camera, ceasing the regular bickering to know if the camera is blinking, indicating it is on!

"What are you waiting for, Numbuh 4? Let's set it!"

Then, the height-difference duo set up the camera in a way it would face the Kids Next Door Post-Mission Report stage.

"Lemme- where's the script? Where's the script? Oh, here it is!"

The stage background of the Kids Next Door Post-Mission Report is just the formal logo, with the irregularly painted letter V. What sets odd to the formal background are the photographs of Sector V and Rainbow, possibly set up by the bubbly girl herself.

"This is Sector V, reporting for the post-mission debrief and analysis of Operation CAKED-WHOLE." The inventor starts to speak, facing the camera while trying to find the particular script in scrambled sheets of paper. Then, he gets one piece of paper and lets the other fall.

"The goal of this mission is to steal a giant birthday cake that the Delightful wouldn't share and bring it to the Worldwide Kids Resort, where kids wish to eat a piece of delicious cake!" The inventor continues.

"Methods of delivery of cake?" The inventor asks while signaling the operatives to respond.

"GAZEAHPLIN? GAZIPLIN? ZEPLINGA? GAZEAPLIN!" the short boy responded, but off-camera.

"Sign of villain interference?" the inventor asks again.

"Yes!" the short boy affirms.

"Proof of villain infiltration?" the inventor asks again.

"CRUDDY! YES!" the short boy affirms.

"Hmm, what am I missing?" the inventor, facing the camera, wonders in his mind.

"You have to introduce yourself, silly!" the bubbly girl suggested.

"Oh, right, I'm Numbuh 2! Here, speaking as the representative for this sector, managing all post-operation debriefing and mission analysis. And the member of this sector…" Numbuh 2 realized and continued.

"What about we show them, not tell them?" the bubbly girl suggested again!

Then, the girl pulled the camera away from Numbuh 2 to her and the orange-hooded boy.

"I'm Numbuh 3!"

"Numbuh 4!" the boy answered with a V sign finger.

"And don't forget our sector leader," Numbuh 3 continues.

"Numbuh 5!" the faraway sector leader faces the camera, who seems to be grabbing a chocolate drink for breakfast.

"For we are the…" Numbuh 3 sets the introduction.

"SECTOR V!" Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, and Numbuh 4 happily screamed it together.

Numbuh 4 wonders. "Wait, what-huh?"

QUOTE: "I AM AN ENGINEER, TRUSS-ME! GET IT? TRUSS-T ME!"


Returning to the original state of the camera facing the analysis stage, Numbuh 2 continues to introduce himself, but this time, he is sitting beside Numbuh 5.

"Welcome to the show, for I am your talk host, and here is my sidekick," Numbuh 2 introduced themselves playfully.

"What? Talk show?" The sector leader was baffled. "Are we making a mission debriefing or a talk show, Num-"

"I am Numbuh 2, the current tech officer! Also, there is a list of occupations not mentioned in my file: pilot, mechanic, academist, inventor, sportsman, and detective. I would happen to be the greatest punster and jokester in the seventh age of Enlightenment!"

Out of nowhere, Numbuh 5 smacks Numbuh 2, hardly using her red cap.

"OW! What is that for?"

"Numbuh 5 got you a credit sponsored by her red cap. It doesn't mean the greatest funniest." Numbuh 5 annoyingly annotated on his introduction.

"Big deal. That is why I am publishing my delicacy of literature, "El Funesta Punesta Comedia." Get it? Fun and puns make a crunch." Numbuh 2 counterargues her.

"Slow it down, Monsieur Joker. Since what "comedy" show are you presenting using this book?" Numbuh 5 is concerned about Numbuh 2's weird published work.

"Yes, Miss Seriosa of Seriousness, I have been on the show a million times. But I couldn't forget the famous presentation at Numbuh 0's annual victory party last week." Numbuh 2 confidently continued.

"Really, Numbuh 2?" Numbuh 5's hand is already in the head, probably asking for life's purpose.

"Yes, slide this clip, please."

The camera slides to the footage presented months ago.


ONE MONTH AGO

"Welcome to Numbuh 0's WELCOME TO NUMBUH 0'S ANNUAL VICTORY PARTY! Now, I am allowing you to present the showman that made your minds, creating an aura of woah …

"Aura of woah?" Numbuh 10 reads the script multiple times, wondering whether she reads it right. Lesson learned: Never hire an anonymous person to provide a script.

"Anyways, you will regret it if you miss him on live tonight. It's a showman no other than…

Then, Numbuh 10 closely reads the script multiple times, trying to clear everything else up by asking the kid behind the stage. "Numbuh 2?"

"Oh yeah, sure! Go ahead! Presenting Numbuh 2!"

"Thank you, Numbuh 10." Numbuh 2 smiles and impresses Numbuh 10, trying to charm her, in Numbuh 10's chagrin.

JOKE LA MARCHE

That is the joke that I call

The puns that greatly recall...

As Numbuh 2 finished his song, Numbuh 2 realized something weird in the party. "Wait, where did everybody go?" The only thing left here is some empty chairs and tables.


Now, the camera shifts to the present times, specifically Numbuh 2 and Numbuh 5's "talking show"; Numbuh 2 is still on the camera, impressing himself in writing and singing a song for everyone, while Numbuh 5 is suffering from the symptom called second-hand embarrassment.

"Yeah, Numbuh 5. And look, everyone is laughing for me!" Numbuh 2 is trying to prove the point to the sector leader.

"Yes! They laugh ... at you! NOT FOR YOU!" the sector leader annoyingly rebuts.

"Hey, what proof can you give me?" the inventor was insulted.

"And why do you make this post-mission debriefing into a –" the sector leader slowly questioned him.

"NUMBUH 5 NO-" the inventor screams.

"RAINBOW MONKEY, RAINBOW MONKEY"

"STAND-BY, RECONNECTING!"

After the shenanigans orchestrated by Numbuh 2, Numbuh 5 now films herself using a KND-owned camera - the same way as Numbuh 2, it's as if Numbuh 5 is creating a mission debriefing in her own way.

"Separate attachment to comment and annotate by the sector leader, and Numbuh 5 will state this!"

Numbuh 5 breathes slowly and steadily as she prepares her short and concise rants.

"Numbuh 5 doesn't know what's on him. He did anything that Numbuh 5 could not comprehend and understand."


ACT 2: PRESENT DAY

"Do you want more breaking news? Is it Mr. Fizz imposing stricter soda quotas? Is it the spank rates gone hike? Is it in a school where robbery, corruption, and discrimination are common? You know where to find one. It's Nick and Chip of Worldwide KND Break-In News."

Instead of being playful commentators, Nick and Chip were hired as the news anchors for the Kids Next Door Break-in News, sitting in the front of the semi-circular table. Also, each has its microphone, scripts, and coffee, all sponsored by Kids Next Door.

The headline is now presented as: "THE CAKE BATTLE IS ONGOING!"

"Good morning, KND folk man. The Operation: CAKED-WHOLE is hanging on a balance." Nick initiates the report.

"That's right, Nick. The cake that was supposed to bring to the stadium was under attack. Almost all of us want that slice of cake.

"Indeed, the leader of Sector L, namely Numbuh 10, will conduct an interview live on the airship. Numbuh 10?"

Then, the camera shifts to the communication room of the giant war zeppelin, where Numbuh 362 gathers all the communication equipment for Numbuh 65.3 to fix desperately.

"Yesiree, Mr. Nick. We are inside this ship. All of these operatives are running and firing in every way in the name of Delightful's cake." Numbuh 10 is holding the microphone, reporting.

Then, Numbuh 10 walks to sweating Numbuh 362, who desperately duct-taped the antenna. "Well, anyhoo, here is our Supreme Leader and Numbuh 65.3 struggling to have the computer system fixed. Numbuh 362, what is the current status of this operation?"

"Oh yes, I would like to say every operative on Earth." Then, Numbuh 362 breathed slowly and screamed. "PLEASE GET EVERYONE OUT OF YOUR COUCH TOWARDS THIS SHIP! WE ARE STRUGGLING HERE!"

"Oh yes, I should have sent to them. Who am I kidding?" Numbuh 10 nervously defends herself.

"362! WE HAVE TO GET OUT NOW!" Numbuh 65.3 runs away.

"Oh no. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Numbuh 362 shouted while grabbing Numbuh 10 for safety to follow Numbuh 65.3.

The last thing that Nick and Chad saw on the screen, monitoring the internal activity of the zeppelin, was the explosion that engulfed the whole communication room before it was interrupted. Then, Nick and Chip wondered if letting someone in the KND Nightly News report a real-time crisis news story was a good idea.

"Well, don't worry. We have a team to fix this immediately." Chip reassures the viewer.

"That makes sense! While I don't understand why the KND's original anchor was demoted, there is another reporter on the line. Numbuh 87?" Nick signals to transition from the anchor desk to the new location.

"I'm here in The Jets Base. Look at The Jets working hard to get this delicious cake." Numbuh, 87, an orange-haired boy with a green raincoat, reports inside the trenches that The Jet digs as their hideout.

"Wait, who in the Delightfuls would allow getting those kids in?" operatives of The Jets saw the unattended kids.

"Hehe. Funny will be." The orange-haired boy is trying to lighten the war scene, and then he walks to another The Jet operative. "Here is the one of Teen Ninjas. So, what can you say of the kid's operation today?"

"Honestly, I don't know, I heard that our leader has a contract deal with the owner of this cake. So, we end up firing one another. The Jet operative wonders but soon realizes the oddity. "Wait, how do you get inside of this hideout?"

"Haha, silly teens. Well, since we are literally in the enemy's camp. I think there will be some technical problems to be dealing with." Numbuh 87 jokes.

"SEIZE THEM!" one of the enemy operatives commands others to capture the reporter.

"Ok! Back to the studio." Numbuh 87 concludes, letting the news transition back to the anchor stage.

"Thanks for the info, Numbuh 87. You know what? I started to regret why I agreed to the contract deal with Sector L." Chip laments on the fact.

"Same feeling, my friends." Nick understands. "Anyway, we have Numbuh 911 on the line with Sector V, in charge of the cake…

Out of nowhere, Chip realized that Nick had reported the wrong stuff (ironically). Thus, he interrupts Nick's report by whispering to him about the correction needed for their KND-ish news story.

"Pardon me, FORMER in-charge of the cake." Nick apologized.

"Condolences, well, Numbuh 911?" Chip signals the news technician to shift the news scene to a new location.

"Here is the ex in charge of cake operations!" Numbuh 911 points and asks the inventor. "Well, what is your current situation in today's operation?"

"Well, we pick up the line from Numbuh Circle with an additional 2. Well, get it? It's 360. HAHAHA." Numbuh 2 laughs on his haf-baked improvised joke, worse, in the middle of the battle.

Numbuh 911 rolls his eyes. "Righty. That's why we fired the fat one in KND Nightly News."

Then, Numbuh 4 sneaks in to speak, trying to reassure the viewer on the screen. "But do not fret. For we, Sector V will be working on how to save the delicious cake."

However, the sector leader butts in, disgusted at the fact that the news organization tries to interview them on their current progress. It would make the villains see their moves! "Wait a second. You had never given me some letter of consent for your sudden media interference."

"Geez, we are so sorry!" Numbuh 911 sarcastically rebuts her.

"Well, Sector V is okay." Numbuh 5 continues calmly. "But since this mission is a secrecy one, you are recommended to be "yeeted" out of the windowpane."

"Yeeted?"

Numbuh 5 throws Numbuh 911 out from their small KND aircraft. As a result, it breaks the glass and falls together with the screaming reporter, who swore never to insult the sector leader.

"Wow! No pane, no pain." Numbuh 2 laughs at his another improvised joke.

Thus, the sector leader glares at Numbuh 2.

"Geez, we are so sorry!" Numbuh 2 responds, whereas Numbuh 5 swears she heard the same statement just ten seconds ago. If he weren't Numbuh 2, the sector leader would not hesitate to throw the operative from the plane.

"Issues," Numbuh 4 adds.

"Whatever Numbuh 5's situation now, let's get that cake." Numbuh 5 realized something odd since she, together with Numbuh 2 and Numbuh 4, was being interrupted to give up information to the news. "Wait, who's controlling the ship?"

Um, guys? Could someone lend me a hand? THIS PLANE IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN!" Numbuh 3 screams as she tries to pull up her aircraft.

Sector V is screaming as their small plane goes down. Dejavu.


"We've done it, guys. The ship was officially OCCUPIED."

After the declaration of the battle's victory, Mr. Boss puts the flag in the middle of the main hall room. His colleagues and fellow villains like Mr. Wink, Mr. Fibb, Spankulot, Knightbrace, Mr. Fizz, and Common Colds celebrate the occupation of the airship's main hall, which is just above the giant cake storage area.

"It seems our team-building strategy is working surprisingly." Mr. Boss motivates the Villains through his reflective speech. "Knowing someone's purpose of stealing the delicious cake roots in our unity and understanding, creating a unified role of taking a cake, creating much work efficiency."

"If I understand… Wink and Fibb steal the cake for their summer relaxation dish." Mr. Boss continues, and Wink and Fibb agree that it is their purpose.

"Knightbrace steals it since it causes cavities," Mr. Boss continues. "Am I right?"

"Yes, sir!" Knightbrace, holding the toothpaste, affirms the question.

Then, Mr. Boss continues to appreciate some of the Villain's unique purpose in taking the cake.

"Spankulot steals it as a punishment for a bratty kid," Spankulot agrees.

"Mr. Fizz steals it since it contains ingredients similar to the soda." Mr. Fizz affirms with a thumbs-up as he drinks his soda.

"Cat Lady steals it for the kitten, perhaps." Mr. Boss continues. "If I understood it correctly."

"Yes, my dear," the lady holding the cat agrees.

"And for Common Colds, he wants to steal cake so that kids would never be healthy again by eating a cake," Mr. Boss continues. "Or to infect a cake, for the kids, not for ours."

"Yes…" Then, Common Colds starts to sneeze. "ACHOOO!"

"Now, for mine. I steal the cake to share it with my loyal workers, working with me 48 hours a day." Mr. Boss confidently speaks as if the cake is entirely his property.

As a result, all the villains glare at Mr. Boss.

"Believe me, all of you are not my overworked workers; you are the stockholders and associates of my company who can enjoy the cake of a lifetime! 10% for my workers and 90% for all of you!" Mr. Boss fixes the situation.

Thus, with the cake guaranteed for their stomach, the Villain celebrates.

However, suddenly, an explosion occurs on the side of the main hall. The Villains were initially scared but prepared for whoever tried to attack. With Cat Lady commands the cat in the war formation, Spankulot "sharpens" his palm, Mr. Fizz readies his barrel soda gun, Knightbrace readies his toothbrush sword, and Mr. Boss readies to command his legion. However, they were shocked as they faced something, someone more horrendous.

"Oh, hi, guys!" the toilet paper wrapping and toilet seat-armed villain just got from the debris.

"Aww geez!" Mr. Boss facepalmed at the revelation and the fact that their fighting stance and preparation were wasted just for the dumb villain as if he deserved it. "I thought all of you sent him to the wrong address."

Trying not to be reprimanded by their boss, the villain whistles and pretends to talk with others, wanting to dodge the blame.

"Sorry, guys, for my delay," Toiletnator swung his arm as he prepared to fight incoming kids. "But since we're here, we would utterly destroy the Kids Next Door to the ash."

"Hey, I just missed out on your team-building activity. So, since I'm part of the famous worldwide group, I can share something with mine." Toiletnator is confident that he will about to share his own purpose, not for this specific mission alone, but for his whole life of destroying the Kids Next Door.
"This cake shall be MINE because … I can study it to improve creating a urinal cake." Toiletnator proudly makes the statement with his toilet hand on the toilet heart. "What can you say?"

Toiletnator swore the Villain was getting a bit green and nauseated. But whatever Toiletnator's imagination, the villain whistles and pretends to talk with others, with Mr. Boss facepalmed to the possible idiocy.

"Argh!" Mr. Boss has sparked an idea. "Toilenator, since you're now part of the group, er… you need to have some role, got it?"

"YES, SIR!" Toiletnator proudly affirms.

"Good, good!" Mr. Boss stables his cigarette. "Can you bring us a container of coffee snow cones from Professor XXXL and Cuppa Joe?"

"Yes, sir, Boss." Then, the Toiletnator salutes but is interested in the preposition. "On what purpose?"

"For victory drinks or … errr… " Mr. Boss is struggling to come up with an answer. "Blowing up any remaining armies, that is!"

"But why did you say this just today?" Toilet Boy complained.

"Uhmm..well, you know what? Take this money and just get this coffee, for Pete's sake." Mr. Boss throws the pack of money from his pocket, but the Toiletnator fails to catch it.

"Righty-o, sir Boss," the Toiletnator promises Mr. Boss in his assignment while grabbing the roll of money off the floor.

"What are you waiting for?" Mr. Boss is fuming. "Just scram!"

The Toilenator was walking towards the back of the main hall, towards the unchecked small cabinet room. He double-checks if there are operatives here or not. He found no one relieving him. But the distraught comes back on him, as the Toiletnator observes Mr. Boss's weird behavior.

"Something doesn't make sense. Every day, he and his company always had me on their lowly request." Mr. Toiletnator realizes it, but he thinks it through deeply. "Hmm…"

Then, this deep thinking came to fruition, as it sparked an idea. Toiletnator laughs at his "brilliant" idea from his "genius" thinking.

Now, in a Toiletnator Version 8.0, much better (or worse) than the particular incident, Toiletnator speaks confidently in his super-armored Toilet suit. "It's GO time."


The situation at the giant zeppelin gets much more drastic as the fighting is gradually intensive and exhaustive. Despite even Numbuh 362's recruit troops from the Moonbase and another reinforcement sector from the Treehouse Division, the Kids Next Door cannot beat the Teen Ninjas and the Villains who have already infiltrated the ship.

"Let's get this furniture for the barricade." The red-headed Decommissioning leader commands his troops frustratingly. "

GO! GO! GO! Come on, BOYS!" The weary Decommissioning Team grabs all the furniture they can find inside the airship. Some take out the door while most of them grab the table for the barricades throughout the small areas of the airship. Now, they have to put it in another large hall room.

Then, on the other side of the ship is the port side, where Numbuh 60 barks orders at the troops. "You, troops, get anything valuable for the fighting. We need every resource we can get."

Numbuh 60's Arctic troops pull all the reserve KND improvised guns and projectiles while some break off the locker room to grab all the food supplies that supplement the troops. However, they were frequently distracted by the infiltrators trying to sneak into the KND operatives or any explosive that tried to rip off the hallway of the story.

Then, at the back end of the ship, on the lowest floor, they had to defend themselves from any Villains who tried to enter the airship through the opened hangar of the airship rather than the need to tear off the reinforcing hull of the airship.

"Which wire should I cut?" Numbuh 23, with their bomb diffusion equipment on hand, tried to diffuse the explosive that the Villain initially had before they were kicked from the plane.

"We need to run now!" The Sooper Communication Leader, Numbuh 35, warns the bomb diffuser. "It's 5 seconds for an explosion."

"Almost there!" the black-headed girl reassures him.

"LET'S GET OUT NOW!" Numbuh 35 grabs Numbuh 23, running away from the explosive that is too impossible to diffuse.

The aft area was being blasted loud, allowing the Teen Ninja to infiltrate the airship more easily.

Now, at the starboard side, Numbuh 86 observed that the Teen Ninjas were approaching their proximity. "Stay, steady…"

As the Teen Ninja breaks open the door to the large hall where the Decommissioning Team was positioned to defend themselves- "FIRE!" The Decommissioning Team reigns fire on them.

If Numbuh 86's troops are likened to a continuous outdoor gunfire battle, Numbuh 60's troops can be compared to an indoor hide-and-seek battle.

The Teen Ninja and the KND operatives frequently hide or take cover in their own room, trying to be the first ones to aim each other's head. Then, it's also play battle whether the Teen Ninjas and the KND operatives proceed to the next room, trying to disable their enemy fastly.

While the KND operatives are trying their best not to let the Teen Ninjas infiltrate and occupy the ship, the operatives stationed at the Engine Room have to ensure that the engine is ultimately working to make the airship move to the desired destination and to function the electrical system of the whole airship.

"Don't lose hope; we need this engine running for electricity!" Numbuh 42 reassures the hamsters, who were running the treadmill, ensuring the airship is still maneuvering.

Numbuh Rebecca, one of the scientists and engineers who escaped from the Amish Sector to participate in the grandiose delivery mission, is now tending to the exhausting hamster. She feeds them Hamster kebbles and frequent waters to supplement their exhaustion in the long, loud battle.

Now, as they were near the front gondola deck, Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 65.3 were on a mission to find and fix the communication system while shooting any enemy blocking their route.

"Sir, is that Numbuh 92 and Numbuh 93?" Numbuh 65.3 points on the kids lying on the ground of the ship's corridor.

Then, as he touches Numbuh 92, Numbuh 92, and Numbuh 93, he jolts and wakes up suddenly; it is a feat the troops stand themselves after "sleeping" in the middle of the battle.

Numbuh 92 coughs and tries to wipe his tongue using his hand. "BLEEGGGHHH!"

Numbuh 93, on the other hand, tries to blow a raspberry to remove any remnants of the yucky vegetable. "YUCK! BRUSSEL SPROUT!"

Numbuh 362 folds her arm on the operative's laziness. "Are you guys sleeping on the job?"

"WHAT? NO!" Numbuh 93 was shocked and outrightly denied it. "We just steer the ship, but …"

Numbuh 92 continues to make sure his partner doesn't pass out. "But later, someone shoots 93 with the Brussels sprouts. I try to revive him. But I heard another shot and left me pitch black."

Numbuh 65.3 just realized, "But in the mission report, you're both a pilot in charge, right?"

As the twin nodded nervously, the Soopreme Leader and the Communication Head gasped and were shocked at the revelation that indeed had implications for their mission's progress and further outcome.

"WE NEED TO FIX THE COM SYSTEM NOW!" Numbuh 362, pounding her hand in the palm, then he commands her troops. "Numbuh 92 and 93, find any communications equipment."

Then, she turns to Numbuh 362. "Numbuh 65.3, come with me!"

Then, the ship suddenly steered to the left, causing the ship to roll leftward. Now, the Kids Next Door troops can't stand up straight to the ground. They had to drop to the ground. While someone grabbed the railing and other supports, the unlucky ones were being dragged to the downward inclined floor.

"GREAT! Who drives this ship?" Numbuh 86 screamed and complained, with another problem piling into a problem.

Now, at the bridge, Cree is on the steering wheel. "It goes according to the plan." She then steers on her own foot, relaxing in the pilot's seat while drinking the coffee slushy.

Then, during the stiff steering, she calls someone on the phone. "Boys, play the tune, for we will announce the victory of teenhood."

Then, at a particular aircraft, the Teen Ninja pilot operative found out they had a message from the dear leader. "You know the drill, play the tune, Rucker."

At his order, the teen co-pilot inserts the flash drive and sets on the music. The song they played was named "Kids Are Brat". To which all Teen operatives listen to the beat. Meanwhile, the kid operatives must cover their ears while fighting the enemy.

From the Moonbase, Numbuh 20,000 sees the desperation of the giant Zeppelin, trying to survive heavy fire blows from the ground and air.

"I had long enough for this!" The paranoid is irritated by the Villain's interference in the cake mission.

"I revolutionize the C.H.E.E.S.Y.-B.O.O.M. and C.H.O.C.S.N.U.C.L.E.B.A.R. for the KND armies. This would completely obliterate every villain on Earth. " Numbuh 20,000 reminisces on the superweapon he designed back when he was working as the head security for a certain special laboratory.

"However, scientists, global command, and almost all operatives reject ME along with my ideas." Numbuh 20,000 resented the rejection. "But this time, my project will be in action, and then I will show how wrong they are."

"SKWID ARMY! Come with me!" his troops follow Numbuh 20,000 as he is about to do something drastic.


While the situation at the airship goes spiral, Sector V successfully brings their ship stability and is about to maneuver closer through the airship, but it is still far since Sector V is concerned about the heavy firepower delivered by the large enemy aircraft trying to bombard the zeppelin.

The pilot/inventor wondered about the zeppelin's weird maneuver. "Why is that ship going leftward?"

"Because it was hijacked, silly," the bubbly girl, with headphones on, replied the pilot.

All operatives of Sector V gasped at this implication.

The sector leader declared the seriousness of the mission. "We need to get that cake before the teens will take or destroy that cake." Then, the sector leader wondered. "But how?"

"Big deal." The inventor answered proudly while grabbing something in his pocket. "But since I am in the circle of intellectuals, one of them gave me a MIKROSTONE for the souvenir."

Then, Numbuh 2 kisses the MIKROSTONE.

"HAH!" the sector leader, impressed, as she got the blueprint for the whole airship design. "Nice one, Numbuh 2. Well, I think of the plan."

"We have to enter that ship. We will force enter the TOP of that ship. There we will end up in the main hall room. Then, we will fight the enemies located there." Numbuh 5 points on the upper vulnerable part of the airship, free from any bombardment and structural reinforcement.

"After that, we separate!"

"You Numbuh 2 will get the cake located in the back of the ship by storing it in MIKROSTONE." The sector leader assigned the tasks to Numbuh 2, then to the duo, who are also looking closely at the blueprint. "You, Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4, will save the trapped operatives, regroup them, and tell them to defend themselves from incoming enemies, but do not directly engage."

"Then, Numbuh 5 will take out that hijacker on that bridge. There, Numbuh 5 will stabilize and reroute the ship to the original destination," sector leader assigning herself the duty to salvage everything.

"But we have one problem." Numbuh 5 internally had trouble with her formulated plan. "Once we take control of this ship, this prompts all Teen Ninjas not to be "merciful" to us by invading and occupying the ship completely. In this result, we lost despite the backups sent by Numbuh 362."

"Huh?" Numbuh 2 was surprised. "Oh, I thought the current status is that the ship has already occupied the ship completely."

"Well, who said that the ship was fully occupied?" Numbuh 5 rebuts. "Yes, just because it hijacked, it doesn't mean the Villains occupied everything."

Numbuh 5 continued. "But since there are still kids fighting the Teen Ninjas, it means that the ship is still under control, save for the hijacking part, I guess."

Numbuh 4 concluded. "Basically, we need some ideas to counter these cruddy Teen Ninja measures." Because of the possible challenge of the plan, the operatives are now brainstorming for a potential solution to this problem proposed by the sector leader.

"Oh, oh, oh," Numbuh 3 excitedly had an idea. "I have one, but did you know Numbuh Boom?"

"Yes, he invented the blow-up engine and became a standard in our every Kids Next Door ship." Numbuh 2 annoys the tech inventor by inventing something life-concerning or mission-concerning (ironically).

"And when does the giant airship build?" Numbuh 3 asks again.

"One week after the new Moonbase was open officially." Numbuh 2 answered but just realized something. "Oh, yes, Numbuh Boom is still an inventor, but this time it's the blow-up propeller."

"Wait," Numbuh 2 sparks an idea. 'What if we-"

Numbuh 4 cuts in. "We will self-destroy that cake, and then we will take the ship."

Numbuh 2 facepalmed, but Numbuh 5 appreciates Numbuh 4's quick thinking. "Good idea. We will self-destroy that ship using a blow-up propeller button once we control it and then take the cake."

"YES! That's what I mean," the short boy proudly affirmed.

Then, Numbuh 2 returns to the discussion using the blueprint. This time, Numbuh 2 is the one who updates the sector leader's original devious plan.

"Oh, yes. Since I am one of the flight engineers who inspected the time that the airship was launched, I already know that there are nine blow-up propeller buttons inside the airship, one in the bridge, and..." Then, Numbuh 2 thinks deeply.

"I can't tell where the other eight is." The pilot-inventor laughs nervously as he doesn't listen to the blow-up part, in the sector leader's chagrin. "I can't tell where the other eight is."

Then, Numbuh 2 returns to focusing on the plan by assigning an additional task to the duo. "So, you 3 and 4 tell every operative to hunt and push that button. Also, they must supply their own parachutes." Then, Numbuh 2 points on the bridge – the frontmost part of the story. "After the eighth, I recommend that the button in the bridge will be the last."

"I gave you a signal, Numbuh 5, once I successfully took the cake. This is the time for you to push the last button for self-destruction." the assisting leader commands the sector leader. "This is the time for you to push the last button for self-destruction. Then, we all go flying out." The sector leader swears that Numbuh 2 and Numbuh 3 are screaming happily as they jump off from the burning zeppelin.

The sector leader scrolls back the blueprint, concluding their own plan that was just formulated by her team.

"Oh, I almost forgot," the sector leader looks at the drastic situation of the zeppelin. "The airship's com system was destroyed, and the Teen Ninjas had been currently jamming our communication inside the airship. Therefore, we cannot communicate with each other unless someone has already fixed it, but I doubt they can, considering the situation."

Then, Numbuh 3. "I just watched the last episode from Rainbow Monkey, where time actually counts; once we take that ship, we have a tiny bit of time before the bad guys retake us."

"Exactly!" Numbuh 5 is proud of Numbuh 3's conclusion.

"It sounds like an invigorating plan to me." Numbuh 4 was already sitting on the co-pilot seat, giving a thumbs-up to their genius plan.

"YEHEY! We have the plan!" Numbuh 3 celebrated as she returned to another co-pilot seat.

"Cheesin' chilidog. This will add to the Book of KND." Numbuh 2 is impressed as he goes back to the pilot seat. Yeah, Sector V learns that they have to auto-pilot if the pilots decide to plan and talk.

"But …" Numbuh 3 grieved at how different the team was. "But that's just another mission without Numbuh 1."

Numbuh 5 thinks deeply. "Yeah, Numbuh 1 is GKND, in the space, working far away from us. But that doesn't mean we're a broken team."

Numbuh 5 decides to speak. "Come here, guys!" She signals her team to round themselves, forming a circle as a team. They do it every time they face a serious mission, even before Numbuh 1 leaves.

"That's true. This is another mission without Numbuh 1." Numbuh 5 reassures the team, but then, she powerfully inspires the team. "But don't worry. Remember, we are still working together as a team."

Then, the short boy butts in Numbuh 5's motivational circular team speech. "Now, are we men, or are we kids?" The team nods in agreement, and the short boy continues. "We will show all that we are the best there is."

"RIGHT!" Numbuh 5 affirms, "So, who's with me?" She proudly asks and then holds her hand on the center, initiating doing teammate hands in the middle.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

Then, everyone shouts in regards to their teammate abroad in space. "1!"

The sector leader shouts happily. "KIDS NEXT DOOR, BATTLESTATION!"

Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, Numbuh 4, and Numbuh 5 raise their fist similarly during the last second of Sector V with Numbuh 1 together.


"Woah, is this plane?" Gooey asked, and then Chooey followed. "Is that a plane?"

Then, the Dumb John Smith realized, "Is this Sector V's ultradiversillion rocket booster zooming ship?"

"TAKE COVER!" shouted Candy Pirate.

The Sector V ship flies on the top part of the zeppelin, realizing that the candy pirate is already in the top part of the ship, trying to tear up the hull as a means of infiltration.

"What ye mother of seafarer candy going here?" Captain Stickybeard annoyingly asks, which the candy pirate points on the particular Sector V aircraft. "OH, IT'S YE OLDE SECTOR V. DELIGHTFUL TO SEE YE TODAY AND OLDE STICKYBEARD SHOOT YOU."

"AIM AND FIRE!" the captain signals his sweet teammates to use their candy cannon to shoot down the Sector V aircraft, with others using their licorice shotguns.

The candies successfully penetrate the wing and cockpit of the Sector V aircraft, which signals the warning sign in the computer of their plane.

"OH NO! WE ARE UNDER ATTACKED!" Numbuh 3 screamed whilst trying to press all buttons to add another structural shield throughout the craft. "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?"

"Not for long. That is our stop now." Numbuh 2 pointed at the aircraft's radar, and they were almost in the airship's desired spot to infiltrate.

"Activate DEPLOY FORCE ENTRY ROCKET MODE!" Numbuh 2 pushed and pulled the lever!

"Then, HANG ON TO YOUR UNDERWEAR!" Numbuh 2 shouts proudly.

The pod appeared out of nowhere, enclosing each of the four operatives. Then, the pod launched out from the aircraft to the sky before the plane exploded due to severe fire damage.

"BONUS!" Captain Stickybeard celebrated, but he saw something unexpected. "What ye this time?"

Now, inside a certain part of the ship, where there is not much fiery conflict, Mr. Boss is trying to figure out and think of one irresponsible way to let the certain toilet guy inside the ship.

Out of nowhere, the ground was shaking tremendously, and there was a sudden blow, enveloping the main hall with a large smoke. What the Villain notices and realizes is the rocket that penetrates the side of the main hall.

"KIDS NEXT DOOR? CHARGE!" Then, the operatives of Sector V let out from the rocket pod and charge toward the villains.

"Sector V!" Mr. Boss, surprised that the arch-enemy returned after the month to attack. "I knew it; you'll be here for a nick of time!

"VILLAIN?" Then, Mr. Boss calls and signals all the villains as a squad to attack. "It's showtime!

NUMBUH 2 VS MR. WINK & MR. FIBB

"Got ant pool to live and swim with it." Numbuh 2 stands proudly against the tall spider legs, about two stories high, growing from the couch as if it's the core computer, where the two gentlemen sit beside each other.

"Look at that American overweight pilot. It reminds me of their interference with our pool." Mr. Fibb speaks monotonely. "Right, Mr. Wink?"

"Indeed, Mr. Fibb," Mr. Wink responds carefully. "So, let's play ball using our towel whip." Then, a pair of hands grow from the couch, holding a towel widely, rolled like a newspaper.

"Cut the chase," Numbuh 2 realized. "Wait, where is the ball?"

"Oh, silly of me." Mr. Wink is embarrassed as he fails to clarify. "The ball we mean is YOU."

Then, the hand contraption repeatedly strikes Numbuh 2 using the towel whip that Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb use to attack. The towel nearly hits Numbuh 2 as he runs around the robot.

Then, surprisingly, as Numbuh 2 goes under the couch or between the spider legs, the hand tries to whip Numbuh 2 under it, but it directs the towel underneath the couch. Then, Numbuh 2 zigzags the towel throughout the wooden spider legs, with the towel getting thinner and thinner like a piece of rope. The hand tries to pull out the towel, but it gets difficult to achieve the more Numbuh 2 wraps the towel around the legs and the combination of legs.

The machine became immobilized and paralyzed with the towel completely knotted the spider legs in Numbuh 2's intricate but confusing wrapping pattern. It can't even maneuver around and even to stomp Numbuh 2 like an insect. With every movement the gentlemen attempt, the machine risks and starts to fall.

Numbuh 2 screams like a woodman. "TIMBER!" Then, a thump with Mr. Fibb and Mr. Wink's machine was destroyed.

Mr. Fibb is trying to move away from the fallout couch. "Playing a ball with towels is such a bad idea, Mr. Wink."

Mr. Wink responded annoyingly. "Yes, and shut up, Mr. Fibb!"

NUMBUH 3 VS CAT LADY

Numbuh 3 constantly hugged numerous cats that Cat Lady "offered" for her. Surprisingly, the cat shows no any signs of hostility to Numbuh 3, as they continually purrs and begs for head scratches and belly scratches, in Cat Lady's chagrin.

Numbuh 3 continues as if no violent battle happens. "Wow, Astrid, you are bigger now. You cute-malicious Hannah. Koochi koochi Koo. Then, Oliver, you are muscular like that of tons of Rainbow Monkey..."

If Numbuh 3 just tends the supposed enemy as if it was a truce, in the background, Numbuh 2 is now chasing to cover from the cold slap and strike of the soda projected from Mr. Fizz's barrel pipe.

Then, the Common Colds were curious at Numbuh 3's tending of cute little cats and joined in the "battle", if one ever calls it.

"Thank goodness someone was there," Cat Lady, relieved to see some backup. "Do you have care to fire this girl?"

"Uhhh…" Common Cold hasn't even a decent word to say or to comment.

Numbuh 3 spoke suddenly. "Oh, Max, you are sick. But you'll take care of your uncle."

Then, Numbuh 3 gives the black, sickly, long-haired cat Max to Common Cold.

Whether or not Numbuh 3 is aware it was the villain, the Common Cold complains. "Cats? I am allergic to …" the sickly villain looks closely at the cat and realizes its familiarity. "hey, it reminds me of my cat before I got subdued to my colds."

With Common Colds joining Numbuh 3's shenanigans, the Cat Lady facepalmed.

NUMBUH 4 VS SPANKULOT

Numbuh 4 has already endured multiple blows of spanks from Spankulot himself.

"You, Numbuh 4, you are a bad boy. You hate your baby brother. You have interrupted into the theater with your pride. Much worse, you gave hundreds, including Mr. Zooboy, a cruel wedgie."

Numbuh 4 is distressed and exhausted as he is unable to punch and kick the vampire any longer, with his butt having already reached a peak limitation point before it needs to be surgically operated on, the same way as the instructor specializes in defense against spanking.

"I need to cruddy get my way out, but how?"

Then, someone in his mind answered this very question: "Well, remember how Numbuh 1 defeats Spankulot, using not his fist and feet."

"NO! Not that one, anything but one!"

"Well, Numbuh 5 will tell you that you're more than just a hand-to-hand combat expert!"

"Come on, not you, Numbuh 5!

"Think of it: Numbuh 1's legacy to you and your team!"

"This is the worst thing that you ever say to me!"

Then, Numbuh 4 was brought back to real life, out from the battle of his thought, seeing that the Spankulot was about to give the final blow that would end Numbuh 4's butt's lifetime.

"Any last word?" The vampire asks.

"Yes, and you are correct. I am Numbuh 4. I am a bad boy and deserve to be spanked, crueler than a twisted wedgie." Numbuh 4 plastically admits.

"Uhh.." Spankulot isn't expected from Numbuh 4's sudden admission of crime, but he has to continue. "And you are dishonest to your friend by chance named Kuki for how you love."

"What the "(thoughtfully ahem) "Yes, one day, I will end up regretting myself forever seeing Kuki with a cruddy pilot married." Numbuh 4 continues, but the nausea that Spankulot mentions it all the worst imaginable.

"You're no fun!" Spankulot walks away, insulted by Numbuh 4's shenanigans.

At that exact time, Numbuh 4 hits Spankulot in the bottom with the Splanker.

"Alright, this backward psycho-NANA is so bad!" Numbuh 4 admitted, and everything else he says. "NO! NO! NO!" "Well, at least Numbuh 3 is so busy, wait? What is she doing right now?

NUMBUH 3 VS CAT LADY (AGAIN)

As always has been, Numbuh 3 feeds the cat with the Rainbow Monkey munchies out of nowhere.

"You Mr. Benji, you look like my Mr. Huggykins. Oh, I also bring you a costume." Numbuh 3 then brings out the Mr. Huggykins that Numbuh 4 once wore a year ago, "HAHA silly me!"

Then, Knightbrace is curious about Numbuh 3's "battle" (even KND isn't categorized as one) and joins in it.

"Finally!" a logic-deprived Cat Lady relieves. "Knightbrace, do you have some dentist appointment with the green Asian lady?"

"Uhh" Knightbrace was speechless to this oddity.

Numbuh 3 suddenly spoke, "And you Feline, you need your teeth to be fixed. Oh, here is the best dentist in the world."

"Have fun!" Numbuh 3 just gave the orange cat named Feline to the dentist villain. Whether she was aware or not, no one needs to know.

"Hey, you can't do this to me." But Knightbrace looks closer to the cat's teeth whilst he holds it. "Oh. Poor Mr Feline, you had many blacky thingy whatever. I hope my treatment will suit you and last a long, for your sake."

Then, Knightbrace proceeds to use the toothbrush to clean the cat's teeth. Surprisingly, the cat wasn't attacked on him despite being a stranger.

"That's it!" The Cat Lady bangs her head on the wall several times to wake up from the fever dream.

NUMBUH 5 VS MR. BOSS

"Mr. Boss!" Numbuh 5 has successfully caught up and cornered Mr. Boss. "Numbuh 5 had enough for your 48 hours per day of work for parents."

"Haha! The program as I, Secretary of Werk Week Werk Werk Werk will come into action. That will be your last mission." Then, Mr. Boss proceeds in his battle stance. "Jet-pack ACTIVATE!"

With a jet pack, Mr. Boss launches into the sky. Numbuh 5 notices that Mr. Boss is able to maneuver his jet pack using his one-hand motion controller. With Mr. Boss's motion controller pointing to Numbuh 5, Mr. Boss swipes downward, aiming at the sector leader like an eagle. Numbuh 5 dodges the hawk's flights. Then, Numbuh 5 repeatedly dodges Mr. Boss' body attacks and swipes.

However, Mr. Boss did hit Numbuh 5 a couple of times, but Numbuh 5 regained herself from the ground. Numbuh 5 almost loses hope of trying to attack Mr. Boss and is about to retreat herself. As Mr. Boss nosedives against Numbuh 5, Numbuh 5 tries to dodge and Mr. Boss hits the ground. With an idea on hand, Numbuh 5 tries to observe her surroundings, and she does something to her advantage.

"If Numbuh 5 can't directly attack Mr. Boss due to its immense speed, what if I will trick him into.." Numbuh 5 was being chased by Mr. Boss but swerved at a complete 90-degree angle. Thus, Mr. Boss hit the wall.

Mr. Boss tries to recover himself from the wall debris whilst coughing from the dust. "Do you think the bang on the door is powerful enough for me to defeat? Then, Mr. Boss is able to stand. "FAT CHANCE!" Mr. Boss then laughs at Numbuh 5, who is still preparing for Mr. Boss' attacks.

But Numbuh 5 is preparing for a different thing as Mr. Boss tries to find the motion controller in the debris, but he finds none. "Where… where was this?"

"Ahh" Numbuh 5 steps forward. "This is what you are looking for?" Numbuh 5 holds the motion controller.

"NO! Give me that!" The fuming Mr. Boss runs to Numbuh 5.

However, in a split second, Numbuh 5 swipes the motion controller, which launched Mr. Boss from the sky in a quick acceleration before being hit by the ceiling. Then, Numbuh 5 swerves the controller again to make Mr. Boss fly spirally in mid-air before nosediving on the ground.

"Curse you, Numbuh 5 and Kids Next-" It causes Mr. Boss to vomit, caused by disorientation and motion sickness.

Then, for the finale of the fight, Numbuh 5 points the controller in a certain direction, directing the jetpack's trajectory to the surviving villains, whilst Mr. Boss is screaming in flight.

NUMBUH 3 VS CAT LADY (AND OTHER VILLAINS)

"And you, Carl, are suitable for being a beverage engineer working for Mr. Fizz." Numbuh 3 happily speaks, as he offers the cat to the soda overlord.

Then, Mr. Fizz receives the cat and dramatically declares his purpose of conquering the cat inside. "Haha, so you and I will conquer and control every beverage in the world!"

Just beside Mr. Fizz and facing Numbuh 3, Cat Lady ponders on everything that has just happened. "So I went here to this thousands of feet from the ground to become a dealer for the cat lovers?"

Then, Numbuh 3 continues holding the grey-thin cat, letting the cat sit on a shoulder and pointing to the sky. "And you, Neil, a cat, want to be an astronomer. Now you'll see this shooting star."

Then, the Cat Lady and the other three villains who tend to their cat simultaneously ask, "A SHOOTING STAR?"

As they looked at the sky at Numbuh 3 points, they saw a screaming, half-unconscious Mr. Boss flying onto them.

The Cat Lady, Common Cold, Knightbrace, and Mr. Fizz scream as the flying manager hurls towards them, with Numbuh 3 carelessly and happy that their wishing star is flying onto them.

Just before the crash, Numbuh 4 attempts to drag Numbuh 3 out from the collision spot in a split second.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

Does the duo survive?

The cake is on the line.
