Agent Down!

[danielcityheroes]

Numbuh Five awoke after being unconcious for... a few minutes? Hours? Either way, it was too long for her. The moments from before played back in her mind.

She was sent on a simple solo mission: transport a shipment of candy confiscated from Stickybeard's ship to a dropoff point in Sector H. Then, the ship went through a weird storm cloud, there were some flashes of light, she lost control of the ship, and then nothing.

She looked around the cabin. Everything seemed to be fine. Just to be sure, she went to the control panel to do a systems check.

Analyzing ... ... ... Cargo is still secure. Main engine is offline. Repairs are required to return to operational status.

"Well, the sooner I do this, the sooner I can get outta here," She said.

That being said, she grabbed a toolbox from a cabinet then opened the door to the ship, leading outside. When she did, she found she was in the middle of a rather errie-looking forest, like on those old-school scary movies Numbuh 48 made her watch one time.

"Okay, this place gives Numbuh Five the creeps," She said. She then said to herself. "It's okay. Just do the repairs then get outta here."

She walked to the back of the ship and opened the hatch for the engine, which immediately spit out a cloud of smoke in her face, sending her into a coughing fit.

"Oh!" She yelled, fanning the smoke away. "Wish Numbuh Two was here. He knows more about engines than me anyway." After the smoke cleared, Numbuh Five went in to examine the engine.

As Numbuh Five went on with repairs, she was relatively unaware of a new figure walking up to the scene, out of eye sight since she was busy with the engine.

Walking up to the scene was what appeared to be a young man with wild blonde hair, red exercise clothes, with red tennis shoes, white gloves and a white headband. He growled a little as he walked through the dark and forbidding woods. "Grrrrr... Where the hell is this? One minute Ice Cream Mountain... Next this?!" He grumbled to himself quietly, as he walked around, throwing shadow boxing punches just to keep from getting to frustrated.

Having followed a rumor that extreme conditions could make you tougher, Knuckle Joe had went to camp upon the peaks of Ice Cream Mountain where the cold weather was at it's worst... As he camped along the place, a rift suddenly opened up in the middle of nowhere and sucked him right in. Now REALLY in the middle of nowhere, Knuckle Joe was left grumpy, cold, antzy...

And Hungry.

CLANG!!!!!!!

It was a surprise, do to such, that his fist collided with what appeared to be a sheet of metal formed into a vehicle right where he punched. At the same time he punched the vehicle, hard enough to at least leave a dent, but not hard enough to send it flying, a sound similar to a blowtorch was heard from around the front. At first, it caught Knuckle Joe's attention, but quickly enough, the sheet of metal, revealed to be a door, fell forward. Knuckle Joe quickly got out of the way as the door hit the ground.

Curiosity peeked, Knuckle Joe walked inside the ship, and soon found many complex pieces of machinery await him. Buttons and control panels sat rather dully, though many of them looked like they were made of house-hold junk and wood mostly then of metal. Strange, indeed... Turning, his eye found what appeared to be a back room...

What could be back there he wondered?

[night sky]

the floor in a hall way pushed upwards with a clang, another clang another dent, this time a small explosion accompanied it and a glove covered paw could be seen. a few more minutes of this and night emerged into the hall way. his body had a metallic sheen to it, that vanished shortly after he emerged. He raised a paw to his forehead, and tried to focus, in honesty he knew that he should be dead, but a combination of iron defense, endure, and protect, works wonders. how ever that didn't mean he had gotten out of this with out a scratch, he had a concussion and since he couldn't see strait, literally, he was in a pickle if he was attacked, the best he could do at most was an iron defense to metal claw, but beyond thoughs two, he couldn't do any thing elts. The aura guardian took a step and stumbled banging his head into a wall. "That was smooth you idiot. you can't see strait remember? you keep hitting your head and you'll end up in a real fix!" unknown to night he had lost control of his aura speech ability and was broadcasting his thoughts and emotions openly, any one could hear it.

CLANG!!!!!!!

"What was that?" Numbuh Five said as she thought she heard something hit against the ship. Dismissing it as a part of the engine she was working on, she continued to work on it, unaware that someone was entering the ship. Then, she heard what she thought was someone shouting. And it sounded so clear it was almost as if they were right next to her.

Getting out from the engine, she looked around and saw nobody. "This place really gives Numbuh Five the creeps. Maybe it'd be better if I contacted someone. Don't know why I didn't think o' that first." She then started to walk back into the ship.

[gantzgun74]

Opening the door to the backroom was very easy for Knuckle Joe. The doors were basically two silver rectangles that closed on each other right in the middle, and disappeared into the wall when opened. It was easy to pry the door open once he managed to open the door enough to slip his hands through and force it open the rest of the way. "Easy as cake." The boy mumbled to himself, rubbing the area just right underneath the nose, looking rather pleased with himself.

Numbuh five had possibly just discovered the dislocated door as Knuckle Joe beheld the contents of the back room. His eyes widened exponentially when he beheld it.

Candy. The walls were lined with box after box after box of gumdrops, chocolate bars, little mini-boxes with sticks of gum, chewable candies, fizzie rocks... The WORKS!

"Sheesh... Someone's one lucky shmuck." Knuckle Joe mumbled as he walked over to a box that held what appeared to be packs of those candies that combined peanut butter and chocolate in a delectable cup shape. Peanut Butter cups by Reeses they were called. Shrugging, Knuckle Joe took a packet, wasted no time in opening it up and pulled out the first of two peanut butter, chocolate candies. It looked a bit small, but the boy didn't really care too much, and took a bite.

His smile widened exponentially, finding that these candies were very VERY good. "Mmm, not so bad. I guess a little snack'll hold me over until I actually get somethin' for lunch." Eating the rest of the first, he took the second one, and chomped on it, savoring the perfect blend of chocolate and Peanut Butter, before eating the rest. Not wasting any time, he took another pack, opened it, and helped himself to another.

Life was sweet...

Or so he thought.

[He's not going to eat so much candy, he still needs to stay fit, so don't worry about finding the whole storage cleaned out. And yes, I also used this to declare that my favorite candy, now and forever is Reeses!! X3 I just love them candies... XDDD]

[night sky]

Night stumbled down the hall his confused eye's searching around him, the stumble into the wall hadn't really done any thing, one of the perks of being a steel type. how ever he was getting rather annoyed when his foot cought on the door that knuckle Joe had punched in. "@#$%!$#@# WHO THE @$%^ LEAVES A #$$!#$& DOOR ON THE GROUND FOR SOME ONE TO %&##@! TRIP OVER?!?!?!?!" night roared mentally. his Aura speech broadcasting it loudly. Yes he was in a rather foul mood, a concussion will do that to a guy. Said Albino Lucario looked around, Missed the convenient door to the out side and padded deeper into the ship.

[danielcityheroes]

When Numbuh Five was about to re-enter the ship, the first thing she noticed was that not only was it open when she closed it, the door was on the floor. There was also a large dent in it. Something had to have forced its way inside for something like this to happen. This was further confirmed when the door to the storage room with the candy, which could only be opened with an access code, was wide open.

Grabbing a laser gun (at first glance appearing to be a mustard bottle with a wooden handle) from inside another cabinet, she slowly made her way back to the storage room. Peeking, inside she saw someone eating from the candy boxes, not noticing what she would describe as a weird dog-thing enter behind her at first. Jumping into the door way, she held the laser gun pointed at the intruders.

"Step away from the candy and put your hands up!" She shouted. She tried to put the mental shouting out of her mind, so as not to take her eyes off the intruder.

[gantzgun74]

Knuckle Joe was, at first, surprised to hear the voice. Turning from his third pack, he beheld Numbuh Five, whom didn't look too pleased to see him, even though surprised that the boy looked around her size and age. Knuckle Joe raised an eyebrow at the girl. "Well, excuse me fer being hungry." He popped the first of the third packs peanut butter cup into his mouth.

"This your candy toots? Well too bad." He took another pack of the stuff, "You really need to keep a better eye on this stuff, you know that right?" He grinned as he grabbed two or three more of them, "Sides I'm not even gonna take that many, probably just enough to last me till I get back home. Say around 6 or 7."

[danielcityheroes]

"Huh?" She said. That was when Numbuh Five got a good look at the person who was eating the candy. She was shouting at a kid who was obviously very hungry.

"Uhh, yeah, my bad." Numbuh Five said, lowering the pistol, now noticably embarassed. "Sorry if I'm a little on edge. It must be this place. It's freakin' me out. I crashed and woke up here an' I dunno what happened."

[night sky]

"Who......" night started to slur his words because of the concussion and switched to aura speech "Who are you? and is that a thing of mustard you're pointing at me? night asked numbuh five.

[gantzgun74]

Knuckle Joe was made even more curious at the entrance of Night. "Eh?" He had just collected his fifth Reeses pack, and hid it on his person. "Who the heck are you?"

Taking his hand away from the candy he held up his fists in a motion of self defense. "You kinda remind me of a Skarfy, and a fire leo..." He thought a moment. "One really white Fire Leo..."

[night sky]

"What in the name of arceus are you talking about?" night asked even as he looked him self over. "And i happen to be proud of my albino coloring.

[danielcityheroes]

"Guess this is where the shouting came from." Numbuh Five said, looking at Night. "How loud it was, I was expectin' somethin' bigger. And to answer your question, I'm Numbuh Five of the Kids Next Door. Now, just who are you guys anyway?"

[gantzgun74]

Knuckle Joe pointed a thumb at himself, "Name's Knuckle Joe." At the confused stares, (Or the curious head turn from Night) Knuckle Joe balled his hands into fists. "And trust me, they don't call me that for no reason." He rubbed the underside of his nose, looking a tad bit full of himself. "Sorry I took out that door back there; but in my defense your ship appeared completely out of nowhere."

[night sky]

"On top of me might i add. And forgive me if i'm not impressive compared to my shouting, but i'll happen to let you know i've taken on may a foe many time larger then my self." night stated to numbuh five before turning his attention to knuckle Joe. "a fighter huh? if i was in better condition i might have asked for a friendly match. but sadly i'm in no condition to fight right now.
