2 World War ch.23

Numbuh 5 ran as fast as she could. She frantically ran into the streets and bumped into villagers. She finally stopped in an alley. Heavily gasping for air and she leaned on the wall. “That…was close.” She panted, still a little shaken from her encounter with Stitch’s ‘cousins’. “Numbuh 5’s getting rusty.” She then looked up and saw the castle was much closer but still far away. “Still have some walking to do.” She then suddenly hears a rumbling sound coming from down the street. Rolling on his giant ball-like wheel was Stitch’s ‘cousin’ Splat. “How many of those things are there?” Numbuh 5 questioned as villagers moved out of Splat’s way. She then sees it heading right toward Lt. Kim Possible who didn’t even notice Splat. “Look out!" Numbuh 5 yelled as she ran out and tackled Kim to the ground. A second later, Splat came rolling by.

Numbuh 5 and Kim landed just as Splat stampeded pass them. "What was that?" Kim asked.

"I don't know. But Numbuh 5's not sticking around this place." Numbuh 5 said before she ran off.

"Hey wait!" Kim called but Numbuh 5 ignored her ran into another alley. She looked back to see Kim wondering what just happened as Stitch’s ‘cousin’ Nosy snooping through her bag.

“That was close.” Numbuh 5 said in relief. The sound of honking then surprised it. “Huh?” She uttered as she cautious snuck deeper into the alley. Right around the corner was a large obese white goose sleeping on the floor. Instead of snoring the goose made a loud honking sound. “This just gets weirder and weirder.” Numbuh 5 said before she left the goose to its sleeping.

The rest of the way was simple sneaking around. As she drew closer to the castle, the number of alleyways to in shortened. But to Numbuh 5’s luck, everyone’s attention was taken away from her. Several of Stitch’s ‘cousins’ wreaked havoc all over the place.
Retro used his long tongue to turn an automobile into an old carriage. “Argh! My car!” The owner yelled in distraught.

Water barrels kept getting pierced with holes by Poki. “Hey!” A girl complained when Poki poked a hole in her beverage.

“My garden!” A woman screamed as Backhoe and Digger destroyed her whole flower garden.

“What the heck is going on?” Numbuh 5 asked as she watched the disasters continue.
“Where did all these bees come from?” A panicky villager yelled as bees swarmed around Stamen.

Spats shot out two yellow rays and shot two soldiers who immediately started arguing all of a sudden.

At a fruit stand, Dupe released a ray from the appendage on his head onto the fruit and started cloning every single one.

“Hey. These things don’t seem too half bad.” The fruit vendor said as he grabbed an apple and took a bite. “Gugh! What the. Why do they taste like that?” The vendor said in disgust. Dupe snickered and just ran away.

“Looks like they got the same pest problem we had in Sector Z.” Numbuh 5 commented.

“Hi.” Numbuh 5 heard. She quickly turned and looked down to see Squeak. “Hello. Ahola. Salutations. I'm Experiment One-One-Zero. My Aunt Pleakley told me I should greet people properly before talking to them. Something called etiquette he said. My name is Squeak.” He said really fast.

“Uh…” Numbuh 5 tried to talk but just let Squeak talk.

“Nice hat. I have one too. It’s blue though and a bit smaller. My friend, Lilo said it made me look smart. My creator, Jumba said he put it there to make look more appealing to confront people. And my cousin, Stitch told me to shut up and go away.” Squeak happily said with the same big smile. Numbuh 5 then just started walking away. “Hey nice backpack. I wish I had one. Or at least pockets to keep some of my stuff. I don’t really have all that many things. Most of my bigger cousins get all the good food and junk while I get the left overs. Hey, do you have cousins bigger than you? I know I do.”

Numbuh 5 grumbled incessantly as Squeak kept talking. “Hey, look at that!” She suddenly screamed while pointing her finger. When Squeak innocently turned his head and saw nothing, Numbuh 5 quickly dashed the other way.

When Squeak turned back, all he had was a puzzled look on his face. He then sees an old man with a cane walking by himself. "Hello. Ahola. Salutations. I'm Experiment One-One-Zero. My creator made me and my friend named me. My name is Squeak.” Squeak harmlessly greeted as he confronted the old man. “Hey, did you know I have six hundred twenty-nine cousins?"
Elsewhere, Numbuh 5 continued her march to the castle while steering clear of villagers, soldiers, and Stitch’s ‘cousins’. “Man, what else is Numbuh 5 going to see today?”

"Goobaja, cousin!" She suddenly heard from a nearby restaurant. Curious, Numbuh 5 turned to look through the glass window. She first saw a room filled with overly obese villagers chowing down on food. Stitch was there confronting his ‘cousin’ Frenchfry.

“It’s him again.” Numbuh 5 said.

"Naga. Meega nala kweesta." Frenchfry told Stitch.

Stitch then sprouted out his spines, antennas and extra arms. "Toobaga!" He yelled before lunging at his 'cousin'.

Frenchfry quickly dodged and jumped away. "Chabata!" He called as he bounced on the already overly obese villagers. "Hohoh. Dinko te fabba."

"Aggaba, cousin!" Stitch growled as he chased his 'cousin' all around the restaurant. Frenchfry then grabbed an empty plate and hurled it right into Stitch's face. "Argh. Yuuga toobaga!"

“That French guy doesn’t seem pretty nice.” Numbuh 5 commented while still watching.

"Hohoh, ika patootie." Frenchfry unkindly teased Stitch as he just kept laughing. He then stopped and landed on the floor. "Baaheth jihadi, cousin Stitch!" Frenchfry challenged Stitch, holding a cooking utensil in each hand.

Stitch stood there a few feet away. "Oketaka." He acknowledged before he lunged out. At the same time, Frenchfry spun into a miniature tornado with the utensils swinging around.

Stitch easily dodged the swinging kitchen knife but gets smacked it the face with a frying pan. His nose was then pulled by pliers. "Got your nose." Frenchfry ridiculed as he twisted Stitch's nose.

"Ogata! Ogata!" Stitch snarled as he desperately swiped the pliers away. He then tackled Frenchfry to the ground, knocking the utensils out of his hands. "Stop it, cousin!" Stitch tried to persuade his 'cousin' once more.

Frenchfry just chuckled and shoved a chocolate cupcake in Stitch's mouth. "Bon appetite, cousin."

“What the?” Numbuh 5 uttered as she watched Stitch’s expression completely changed. His eyes opened wide and had drool pouring out of his mouth.

"Eh, cupcake…eat more…nnnnnaga….must not…eat more." Stitch struggled to to keep himself together as he eyed Frenchfry's mountains of food all over the place. Frenchfry just stood there with smug look and watched. "Eat…naga…eat…naga…eat…naga…" Stitch whispered as he tried to hold himself together, until something suddenly snapped. "Meega nala kweesta! Hahahaha!" Stitch laughed in a deranged state.

“Huh?” Numbuh 5 uttered.

"Huh?" Frenchfry uttered right before Stitch tackled him the floor. This time, Stitch didn't even hesitate as he punched Frenchfry in the face.

Numbuh 5 watched in horror as Stitch used all four of his fists to rapidly punch his 'cousin' with no remorse. He even laughed hysterically in the air. All the villagers were still too busy eating to notice. Numbuh 5 was so shocked, she didn’t notice Lilo walking right beside her and entering.

"Stitch?" Lilo said, while Squeak was in her arms. Stitch then stopped and turned to her. He finally calmed down and seemed confused by the look on her face. "What are you doing?" She cautiously asked.

"Gaba?" Stitch expressed, tilting his head in confusion. He then turned to see Frenchfry's bruised face. "Uh oh.”

“Ogata.” Frenchfry cried in pain as he laid there.

“Oh no! What did you do to Frenchfry!?” Lilo cried as she ran to his aid, dropping Squeak to the floor. She kneeled down to Frenchfry before turning to Stitch. “Why would you do this to your ohana!?”

The distress in her voice suddenly struck a nerve in Stitch. “Eh…eh…” He tried to say.

“He’s hurt really bad. Go get the first aid from the X-Buggy.” Lilo ordered him.

“Ih.” Stitch said before running to the door.

Numbuh 5 quickly hid behind a barrel before Stitch rushed out. She then crept away from the scene. “What is it with that thing? First it attacks me and my team, then it saves me from the big purple thing, and now this?” Numbuh 5 pondered as she snuck into an alley. She then sat down with her back on a wall. “What the heck is going on?” She said, nearly in a panic.

“Are you done?” Numbuh 5 suddenly heard.

“Huh?” She turned and saw her eight year old sister standing there.
Numbuh 5 still remained on the floor in an alley. But this time sat in deep thinking. “Yeah.” She said before standing up and continued on.
Later on, Numbuh 5 managed to find several cloths hanging on a on a drying line in an empty alley. Luckily, there was a dress, a just her size. “This’ll do.” When she put in on, only her black boots and backpack were visible. “Hope this works.” She packed her hat in the backpack and headed out into the street. Staying perfectly calm, she walked along with the crowd towards the castle.

"Everything is fine! The Experiments have all been captured!" A Disney soldier screamed out loud as he ran passed the crowd. "And I'm a pretty little fairy!" The villagers, including Numbuh 5 looked confused as the soldier just kept running around screaming. While some of them were still pondering on what just happened, Numbuh 5 shrugged it off and kept walking.

She finally made her way to one of the Main Gates. It was closed and heavily guarded by soldiers. “Getting past that not going to be easy.”

"All military personnel, report to the Main Courtyard."  The Royal Advisor’s voice was heard from the intercom poles. The gate then opened slightly and allowed soldiers to enter.

“Now’s my chance.” Numbuh 5 said. She sprinted as fast as she can, sticking to the shadows. Once the last soldier entered, the gate began to close. Numbuh 5 only had few seconds to act. She jumped and rolled passed the gate before it closed. “Whew. That was a close one.” She said in relief from the ground.

“Hey, kid.” Numbuh 5 suddenly heard. She turned to Lt. Max standing there.

“Uh oh.” Numbuh 5 said to herself. She quickly got up and faced him.

“What are you doing here?” Max questioned her.

“Um…uh…” Numbuh 5 stuttered for an answer.

“You’re one of those new service trainees right?” He questioned.

“Huh?” Numbuh 5 uttered to him.

“You’re wearing the service uniform.” Max said as he pointed to her dress.

Numbuh 5 looked down at the dress before looking back at Max. “Oh right. Yeah, I’m new here.” She told him with a more secure attitude.

“Well the Service Hall is on the other side. This place is for military only.” Max told her.

“Right. Thanks.” She said with a smile. She then walked away.

After she left, Max had a puzzled look on his face. “Geez, I didn’t know they start them so young.” He then walked toward the Main Courtyard with the crowd of soldiers. “Man, I can’t believe I have to go over there like this.” He complained as he covered his bruised up face.

Once the way was clear, Numbuh 5 snuck around and hid behind a rack of firearms. She had a good view and stayed hidden. “This should be interesting.” She said, taking out her S.L.O.W.T.E.P. [1] from her bag.

"Salute to their majesties!" Numbuh 5 heard from an announcer as King Mickey, Archduke Donald, Captain of the Guard Goofy, and Royal Advisor Jiminy appeared from on top of the balcony above.

“That must be the king.” Numbuh 5 said, filming everything. She then suddenly recognized one of the criminals step out to the balcony. “It’s her again.” Numbuh 5 cringed, seeing Shego’s smirk.

"Thank you all for coming. I have an announcement to make." Mickey said from the intercoms around the whole courtyard. "This military force was in need of some help. I thought I could solve the problem by hiring outsiders for help."

“Outsiders?” Numbuh 5 said to herself.

“For now on, the criminals will be your trainers for combat and prepare you for the war.” Mickey told everyone.

“Criminals!?” Numbuh 5 yelled, accidentally getting the attention from several soldiers. She quickly ducked before they saw her.

"Greetings, everyone. You may already know me. I am Lord Monty Fiske. Archaeologist. Genius. Master of Tai Shing Pek Kwar." MonkeyFist announced and immediately saw the puzzled look on everyone. "Uh…Monkey Kung Fu. And thanks to your king, I come before you as a being of great wisdom and…" Before he could say more, Duff grabbed the mike and shoved MonkeyFist out of the way.

"Aye. And I'm the World's Deadliest Golfer, Duff Killigan!" The deranged Scotsman yelled into the mic, nearly deafening Numbuh 5. Everyone the watched as him and MonkeyFist fought to seize control of the microphone.

Shego then snatched the microphone and pushed them out of the way. "Listen up, you lamoes! If you want to win this war, you're going to have to start taking orders from us for now on." Shego told them in an unpleasant manner.

She then handed the microphone to Mickey. "Trust me, everyone. This is all for the good of Disney."

Numbuh 5 then looked over at the soldiers’ irritated expression. “Doesn’t look like it.”

"Get some rest. Tomorrow will be a new day to our victory." Mickey ordered. The soldiers did as he said and headed out.

"Man, it's been a crazy day." Numbuh 5 overheard Max say as he walked by.
Numbuh 5 then shut off her S.L.O.W.T.E.P. “You have no idea.”
“Clear the way!” KND operatives jumped out of the way as the boy genius ran passed them, wearing his Dexo-Transformer. The clanking of his joints and slamming of his suit’s feet echoed through the hallways.
“Wow. This virus that one kid put in is awesome.” An astonished computer operative commented.

“I believe the correct term is A.I.” A nerdier operative educated.

“Who cares. I can finally play Starcraft in this rusty treehouse.” The other operative said.

“That is not the correct use of my features.” Computer told him.

“Shut up. You’re not the boss of me, stupid computer.” He nastily told Computer and continued playing. The sliding doors were then busted open and then came Dexter running in. “Ah!” The operative screamed, falling off his chair. “I didn’t do anything. I was just…checking the treehouse’s schematics.”

Dexter looked around, but didn’t see who he was looking for. “Where is your leader!?” He frantically asked.

“You just missed him. He said he was going down to the cells.” An operative answered him.

“Drat.” Dexter complained before exiting, leaving most of the operatives confused.
Ben was in a hallway, along with two operatives. “Ok. How do you guys like this?” Ben said while tinkering with his watch. After he pressed down on it, he was transformed. Ben morphed into a 12 feet tall muscular humanoid with four arms, red skin, no hair, yellow eyes and wore a white t-shirt with a black line going down it, black pants fingerless gloves and the green hourglass-like symbol on his upper left shoulder. “Four Arms!” Ben hailed with a deeper voice.

“Hey cool!” The boy operative exclaimed. Ben happily smiled and posed. “He looks just like one of those characters from Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures. Handy Buddy.”

“Huh?” Ben uttered, almost tripping himself.

“Yeah. He totally does.” The girl operative said.  

“What!?” Ben said in outrage. “No! I’m not Handy Buddy from that stupid show. I’m Four Arms.” He tried to convince.

“Hey, don’t go calling my favorite show stupid.” One operative told him. “Come on. Let’s get back to work.”

“And Four Arms? Pfft, that name is laaame.” The girl operative commented as they walked away, laughing.

“Man.” Ben grumbled. “How can I show them I’m a real superhero?”

Just then Dexter ran through, easily shoving Ben aside with his exo-arm. “Move!”

“Hey!” Ben yelled as his face hit the hall. Dexter just kept running.
"Alright Omi, remember. Rock beats Scissors." Clay said to Omi, both of them in a hallway. He made a fist and showed it to Omi. "Paper beats Rock." He then flattened his hand. "And Scissors beats Paper." He then showed only his index and middle finger. "Got it?"

"Yes, yes. Let's go!" Omi said excitedly. Raimundo was resting on the floor next to them.

"Alright, here we go. Rock, paper, scissors!" Clay yelled and then flattened his hand. Omi quickly made a fist. "Yahoo! I win."

"What? But I made the rock!" Omi said holding out his fist.

"And I have paper" Clay said holding up his flattened hand, "Paper beats Rock, remember."

"What!? But that doesn't make any since. How could flimsy paper defeat rock hard…rock?" Omi questioned him.

"Beats me, but those are the rules." Clay stated, shrugging.

"Best three out of two!" Omi challenged him.

“That’s two out of three.” Raimundo said while he laid on the floor.

“Yes. We must continue.” Omi replied. “I cannot call myself a Xiaolin Warrior if I am to lose to such a trivial game.”

“Hey! What are you three doing?!” Kimiko yelled in irritation. Her sudden outburst scared Omi, Raimundo and Clay stiff. “We have work to do.” She said while holding a whole box of 2x4 tools in her hands.

“We just taking a break.” Raimundo explained.

“Yes. Please be taking the chilly pill, Kimiko.” Omi smugly told her.

“That’s chill pill, Omi.” Kimiko corrected, glaring at him. She the stepped closer to him.
“And the one who would be taking pills is you on a hospital bed if you don’t get..back..to..work!” Kimiko threatened while face to face with Omi, staring at him with her fiery eyes.

“Uh, perhaps we should get back to repairing the treehouse.” Omi nervously suggested.

“Ditto.” Raimundo said.

“I hear ya.” Clay acknowledged. All quickly picked up all the falled scraps and junk on the floor.

“That’s better.” Kimiko said with a smug smirk. “By the way. Where’s Dojo?”

“Beats me.” Raimundo answered.

“Little buddy did seem pretty shaken up.” Clay commented.

“Ooh. Not to worry. The Xiaolin Dragon of Water will hunt down and find our dragon companion.” Omi admirably pledged.

“Didn’t you lose him last time?” Raimundo mentioned.

“Leave it to me.” Omi said before leaping away.

“Omi, wait!” Kimiko called but was too late. She then grumbled in frustration.
In another hallway, Billy was just sitting on the floor. “Ah!” He frantically screamed as he shot a S.C.A.M.P.P. [2] all over the place.

“Hey, Billy.” Irwin said as he approached, cautiously dodging green lasers. “What are you doing?”

“They’re everyone. They’ve invaded us. Die, clown demons!” Billy screamed as he kept firing the S.C.A.M.P.P. He then suddenly noticed a chocolate chip cookie in Irwin’s hand. “Cookie!”

“Hey back off, yo! This is mine.” Irwin said as he kept the savage Billy away with his arm.

“Where? Where?” Billy hysterically asked.

“Ask your pet.” Irwin told him.

“Mr. Snuggles?” Billy said in disbelief. He then felt someone tap him on his shoulder. He turns around to see Jeff.

"Hi Dad!" Jeff politely greeted with a huge grin.

“Aaah, spider!” Billy screamed like a girl as he fired green lasers at Jeff. The giant spider just stood there and took it. Irwin just calmly kept eating his cookie.

After the S.C.A.M.P.P. powered down, Billy breathed heavily. Jeff, heavily charred, smiled innocently as he handed Billy a cookie. “Here I brought you this."

“Ooh thanks.” Billy said, taking the cookie and munching on it.
Two armed KND guards were stationed outside of Zeke’s cell. They then salute when Supreme Leader Numbuh 1 approached. “Supreme Leader sir.”

“I’d like to speak to our quest.” Numbuh 1 told them.

“Sir.” They acknowledged.

“Hold it!” Numbuh 1 heard. He turned to see Dexter running towards him in his exo-suit.

“I must speak with you.” Dexter said urgently. He quickly deactivated the suit.

“Not now, Dexter.” Numbuh 1 told him. “I have some interrogating to do.”

“Forget about that. My sister has been captured.” Dexter desperately said.

“What?” Numbuh 1 said.

“The signal from the tracking device I placed on her disappeared at the same time as the creatures return to the other dimension. Which means those vile things kidnapped DeeDee.” The boy genius raged. “We have to rescue her.”

“How?” Numbuh 1 questioned him.

“Remember my Hitchhiker. The preparations for it are nearly complete.” Dexter told him.

“Does that mean you achieved the dimensional code?” Numbuh 1 asked him.

“You can say that.” Dexter stated. “All I need is a small group and…”

“Hey!” Ben screamed as he turned the corner. Still in his Four Arms form, he confronted Dexter. “What’s the big idea?” He grilled him.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Dexter said. Even though Ben towered over him, he stayed perfectly calm.

“Don’t play dumb! You shoved me into the wall.” Ben hassled him.

“I had urgent business with Numbuh 1. You were in the way.” Dexter replied.

“Ever heard of the term ‘excuse me’?” Ben nagged at him.

“I said move.” Dexter countered. “And shouldn’t you activate your bio-morphing device to do something more useful.”

“One, it’s the Omnitrix. And two…” Ben told him before the symbol on his upper left shoulder started beeping a red light. A green flash then shined and Ben completely changed back into his human form. “Argh man!”

“Dexter, Ben…” Numbuh 1 attempted to say.

“Yo!” Omi called as he jumped in. “What down, my roomies?” [3] He greeted them. Everyone looked confused by his words. “Have you seen my friend, Dojo?”

“Uh…no, Omi.” Numbuh 1 answered. “Look whatever problem you two have, solve it. I’m going to interrogate the prisoners.”

“Ooh!” Omi uttered in excitement. He then jumped closer to Numbuh 1 and landed on one hand. “Allow me to join you. As the Xiaolin Dragon of Water, I can help uncover the secrets the evil doers hold.”

“Hmm, I actually could be some assistance in that department.” Dexter mentioned, tinkering with his watch.

“Hey count me in too.” Ben said.

“No. It’s best if I handle this on my own.” Numbuh 1 declined.

“I don’t think so.” Mandy said as she, along with Pain and Hoss, approached them. Numbuh 1, Dexter, Ben, Omi and the two operatives were all took off guard when they saw the tall brute men coming their way.

Numbuh 1 quickly stepped in. “Mandy, who are they?”

Mandy then lifted up her hand to Hoss. “This is Hoss Delgado. A spectral exterminator.” She then pointed toward Pain. “And this is Lord Pain. My servant from the Underworld. I brought them here cause we can use the extra muscle.”

“And when did you plan to tell me you were bringing more adults here.” Numbuh 1 questioned her.

“When I cared.” Mandy coldly answered. She walked in a superior manner as she passed Numbuh 1. “Now, about these prisoners, why don’t you let us handle them?”

“Handle them? What do you plan on doing?” Numbuh 1 questioned. He first looked at her but then looked up to the more menacing two.

“None of your concerns. It won’t take long.” Mandy answered. Just then, Numbuh 1 grabbed Mandy by her shoulder.

“That’s not good enough, Mandy. As Supreme Leader, I cannot allow you to undermine my authority any longer.” Numbuh 1 told her.

Mandy didn’t bother to turn to him. “Don’t.” Numbuh 1 arched an eyebrow from her order. “That’s an order, Pain.” Mandy commanded.

Numbuh 1 then turned around to see Pain standing just inches away with a spiked mace in his hand. “He’s fast. And quiet.” Numbuh 1 thought. Dexter, Omi, Ben, and the two operatives just stood there and watched.

“But mistress, no one should dare lay their hands on you.” Pain said.

“I said don’t.” Mandy demanded.

“Yes, my mistress.” Pain quickly acknowledged, putting his mace in the void of his cape.

Mandy then swiped Numbuh 1’s hand off her shoulder. “Fine, Numbuh 1. Would you like it if all four of us interrogate him?” Mandy offered.

Numbuh 1 then glanced over to Hoss and Pain. “Leave these two out here and I’ll consider it.”

Mandy had to think about it for a moment. “Sure. It’s your funeral.” She suddenly commented which just left Numbuh 1 puzzled. “Pain. Hoss. Wait out here.” She ordered.

“Yes, mistress.” Pain acknowledged in a courteous manner. “I shall not leave this spot.”

“Egh.” Hoss to himself with his arms crossed.

“Ahem.” Dexter cleared his throat. “Do not forget about me.”

“I say all five of us go in.” Ben suggested.

“Yes. I agree with the shapeshifter’s proposal.” Omi commented.

“Yeah…wait what?” Ben expressed from Omi’s statement.

“Fine. You three can come. Let’s just gets this over with.” Numbuh 1 said in annoyance. They all then marched to the cell door. Numbuh 1 approached one of the operatives. “You two stay here.” He then glanced at Hoss and Pain once again. “And keep an eye on those two.” He whispered.

“Sir.” The operative acknowledged before pressing a three digit code into the 2x4 keypad on the wall. When the door slid open, the five entered. The first thing they see was the menacing grin from Zeke Wolf.
