Chapter 1: The K.N.D. Moonbase
It is a time where adults have ruled the Earth. A little hut lay on the moon. It was shaped like a cactus. It is called the “Kids Next Door” secret moonbase headquarters. A wave of warships, and fighter ships were flying like angels around the moon.
In a central area of the K.N.D. moonbase, two young operatives are watching the moon. The young man with the silver armour spoke, “Numbuh 1, the kids in this world are falling apart. The adult race has grown each day. I don’t know why, but it somewhat has to stop.”
“I know, Numbuh 274.” Numbuh 1, the young British sunglasses kid replied, “Most of our operatives gave up their lives trying to defeat the adults. Now, they have kicked the bucket like there was no tomorrow.”
“Are you OK, Numbuh 1?” Numbuh 274 asked, “You feel a little sad.”
“I’m fine, Numbuh 274.” Numbuh 1 replied,
“I see what this is.” Numbuh 274 said, “This is about Numbuh 65, is it?”
“Yes.” Numbuh 1 said,
“That kid had a gift.” Numbuh 274 said, “He has the skill, the speed, and the obedience of a legendary officer like me. To tell you the truth, he has been on more missions than I have. You’re upset because he was almost slain in combat. Don’t worry, Numbuh 1. We’ll get him back to our service. Go join your friends. I already have them doing it right now.”
“It’s nothing but a… surprise, is it?” Numbuh 1 inquired,
“Guaranteed.” Numbuh 274 replied
Back in the Sector V quarters in the moonbase, all the other young operatives proceeded into waking Numbuh 65 up. After a few minutes, he finally awoke. “Hi, guys.” He said, “How are you all doing?”
“We’re fine, Numbuh 65.” Numbuh 5 responded,
“Let’s take you to do the training diagnostic system.” Numbuh 1 said
For a few minutes, Numbuh 65 went through the process. He looked at the five lights in a cross. His sight vision is as clear as a clean mirror. Then, he put on his shield watch and walked over to an area to test his shields. “OK, Numbuh 2.” Numbuh 65 said, “Let her rip!”
“Copy that, Numbuh 65!” Numbuh 2 responded
Then, a glowing light of the sun shined on him as the shields generated. Once it reached full, Numbuh 65 said, “Looks good, Numbuh 2. Now, let’s take out the shield to test its automatic recharging ability.”
“Roger that, Numbuh 65.” Numbuh 2 replied
The shields were swiped away. Numbuh 65 grunted, and panted like a tired sprinter. For a few seconds, he remained defenceless. Then, the shields regenerated back to its 100% power. “OK. Thanks, guys.” Numbuh 65 said, “I needed that.”
“You’re welcome.” Numbuh 3 replied
"You guys have made a major influence on my life." Numbuh 65 said, "I always have looked up for you all. If it weren't for all of you, my life... and my legendary status would be... empty."
"I'm glad we commissioned you, Numbuh 65." Numbuh 1 said, "So you can go on with your missions alone, and with us."
“Numbuh 1,” Numbuh 274 asked over the intercom, “Is Numbuh 65 awake?”
“Yes, he is, Numbuh 274.” Numbuh 1 answered,
“Have him meet me in the central bridge immediately.” Numbuh 274 said,
“But, we haven’t done the...” Numbuh 2 stammered
“It’s OK, Numbuh 2.” Numbuh 65 said, “We can work on the weaponry afterwards.”
“All right.” Numbuh 2 replied, unhappy
At a hallway above the Sector V domicile, 3 kids were talking some potpurri. "Hey, have you heard about the new Yipper Cards out?" one girl asked
"Yeah." Another girl replied, "That card has a legendary hero on it!"
"I can't wait to pick it up!" a boy said,
Just then, there was some rumbling on the door in front of them. "Numbuh 274," the boy reported in his com-link, "This is Numbuh 105! I have a disturbing force in front of us!"
There was still banging on the door. "Oh God!" the girls yelled, "They're trying to get through the door! Security! Intruders in Hall 5-19!"
The door exploded. Aliens plopped out. The kids cried, "No, please don't-AHHHHH!!!" They were shot to their death.
The Sector V team looked up at the break-in. “Uhh… I think it may be a good time to leave.” Numbuh 4 suggested,
“Good idea.” Numbuh 65 agreed, and he and the Sector V K.N.D. dashed out of their domicile. A youngster rushed over to a door, but there was a loud… BOOM! He fell to his demise.
Numbuh 65 and the Sector V K.N.D. followed the course to the central sector of the moonbase. They heard people yelling, "Secure the blast doors! Move! Move!" When they opened one door, they screamed in surprise! It was a huge towering alien! Then, the other K.N.D. were shooting him down with their weaponry. One of the kids yelled, “Numbuh 274 wants you all at the bridge A.S.A.P.! You better follow me!” The kid began to lead the team to the bridge. Once the 6 young operatives reached the bridge, Numbuh 65 began to speak.
“Numbuh 274.” Numbuh 65 said
“Numbuh 65.” Numbuh 274 replied back “It’s good to see you again.”
“Same here, Numbuh 274.” Numbuh 65 said, "Thanks."
"For what?" Numbuh 274 asked,
"For everything since the battle of Reach!" Numbuh 65 said, "You rescued me from the hands of the adults back at Reach in Toronto. If it weren't for you and this organization, I would not have made it out in time... and my life would fade like the stars that explode into the night sky."
There was a brief moment of silence. "Anyway," Numbuh 65 said, "What's wrong, Numbuh 274?"
“We’ve got an unknown force attacking the moonbase.” Numbuh 274 stated as several images plopped up, “Do you know what their kind is?”
Numbuh 65 studied the images carefully. He looked at the 5’ partially rotund Grunt, the 5’8” slender Jackal holding a plasma shield, the 8’6” towering and powerful Elite, and the 12’ supremely gigantic and obese Hunter with a shield and a Fuel Rod gun. “These guys are an alien race known as the Covenant.” He concluded, “These guys hate us and adults alike. Probably the adult race has been eliminated by these creatures from outer space, and now they have come for US!”
“OK. We need to evacuate the moonbase.” Numbuh 274 confirmed, “I hereby officially commissioning this team to lead the mission. At the same time, annihilate the Covenant from destroying us.” Then, he gave Numbuh 65 a M6D S.C.A.M.P.P. (Soup Can And Magnified Photon Phlazer) Pistol. “This S.C.A.M.P.P., and all the other 2x4 technological weaponry have been modified to knock out the Covenant race. I don’t keep it loaded, dude. You need to look for the ammunition yourself. Good luck, team.”
“Thanks.” Numbuh 65 said, “Let’s go, guys!”
“Wait a second! Hold your horses!” Numbuh 274 shouted, “Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, and Abby! You all will need this!” He tossed the S.C.A.M.P.P. pistols at them, too.
“Thanks…” Numbuh 1 said, “Chad.”
“No problem.” Numbuh 274 said, “It’s what I do.”
On their way out, they changed into their K.N.D armour uniforms. The Sector V team has the blue colour like the navy. However, they wore yellow gloves and boots. Numbuh 65’s armour is unlike any other! His armour is in the golden colour. It has dragon and eagle heads on the wrists and shoulders. It also has the dragon and eagle wings on the helmets.
After they finished, they picked up some pistol ammo. Then, the team found 3 Grunts. They shot them with the pistols. Then, they found 6 MA5B S.C.A.M.P.P. Assault Rifles. They took one each.
Using the Assault Rifles, they took out 2 Grunts and an Elite. As they walked through the maze of the hallways, the K.N.D. took out each of the Covenant Grunts and Elites with their modified 2x4 weapons. Soon, there was an explosion. A K.N.D. Marine yelled, "What the hell? Did something just hit us?" Another said, "Move it! Back to the airlock!"
The 6 young operatives continued down the hallway. Just then, they noticed an plasma explosion. 2 K.N.D. Marines flew to their doom. When the smoke cleared, Covenant agents attacked. The Sector V team took them out. "Clever bastards!" Numbuh 65 retorted, "They connected their boarding spacecraft with our airlocks! We leave, and they come!"
They decided to help out in eliminating the Covenant forces in the hallway as they continued. Once they reached a flight of stairs, more Covenant forces were on the K.N.D.’s rear end. As they escaped, Numbuh 5 yells, “Go on! I’ll meet y’all at the life pod!”
“Are you and Numbuh 3 gonna be OK?” Numbuh 65 asks,
“Yeah!” Numbuh 5 yells, “Now, go on!”
Numbuh 65 ran off to catch up with Numbuhs 1, 2 & 4.
The boys kept going throughout the entire maze of the K.N.D. fortress. Then, the boys noticed some life pods leaving. Unfortunately, some of them were destroyed. After they took out the remaining Covenant enemies, the male children stopped to think. Numbuh 4 retorted, “Those cruddy aliens! They made us miss the stupid life pods!”
“We may have missed these ones,” Numbuh 65 said, “However, I know another way to reach these life pods. We have to get there through a secret shaft.”
Then, the boys walked through a door that led them to the hidden passage. “Uhh… Numbuh 65?” Numbuh 2 pointed out, “It’s kind of dark in here.”
“Not a problem, Numbuh 2.” Numbuh 65 replied, “I’m gonna turn on the flashlight.” When he turned it on, a ray of sunlight came from the dragon head on his wrist. “Pretty cool, huh? Now, I’m gonna activate the motion tracker.” He pressed a few buttons on his shield watch. Several viewpoints appeared on a radar in all the K.N.D. watches. “We better find a sure exit.”
It took a few minutes to find the way out. When they did find their way out of the covert tunnel, the K.N.D. boys continued down the path. Then, they found a broken door. “Hmm…” Numbuh 65 thought. “This door is damaged. It IS open, so it’s best to hit it with a weapon our hands. Numbuh 4?”
“Right!” Numbuh 4 replied, and he smashed the door open with the pistol in his hand. “Let’s keep going.” He said, and the boys continued onward.
They would find a Grunt looking in the K.N.D.’s direction. They ‘shushed’ each other. Numbuh 65 moved forward, silently. Then, he shattered the Grunt with the pistol in his hand. “That’s the way I kill someone with their back turned!” he whispered
Then, they took out several Elites and Grunts with a melee assault. The boys kept going, and looked out at their former habitation, now under heavy assault by the Covenant Elites. “Well,” Numbuh 1 responded, “These insidious aliens wanted to catch us, unaware of the incident. It’s a good thing we escaped before they could reach us.”
Then, the boys reached another covert pipeline. Once they got inside, the Covenant Grunts were aware of their presence. Soon, once one Grunt found the K.N.D., he yelled to his friends, “They're here!”
“Aww… Crud!” Numbuh 4 retorted
The Grunts fired their plasma pistols. Some of the bolts shot the K.N.D. armour. The boys fired their pistols. The Grunts were dead in one or two shots apiece. The boys rushed out of the shaft, and found a barricade. Stuck to the barricade are grenades. Everyone picked one up. “Get ready…” Numbuh 65 yelled, “And throw!”
The grenades landed right near the Covenant enemies. In a split-second right after their toss, the Elites and Grunts flew high in the sky. The boys jump over the hurdle, and hustled to the last life pod uncovered.
“Oh no! Oh no!” one K.N.D. operative cried,
“Come on!” Numbuh 4 cried out, as he helped him out.
“Punch it!” Numbuh 65 yelled
The life pod flew away into outer space. A spacecraft also departed from the moonbase. “Numbuh 274 escaped in time!” Numbuh 1 reported, “Good for him!”
“We're gonna make it, aren't we? I don't wanna die out here!” one K.N.D. operative cried,
“Shut your yap!” Numbuh 4 snapped back, “We’ll be fine!”
Numbuh 65 looked back at the fallen settlement. "Thank God." he said, "We managed to escape the moonbase, but it has been heavily damaged."
“Uhh… Captain?” Numbuh 2 said, “Take a look at that!” He pointed to a big ring outside of the planet Earth.
“Oh, boy.” Numbuh 65 said, “I think it’s time to we cross our fingers, and hope that we survive.”
