Part 1Author's Note Ancient Princess Prevents Evil - Assistance Requested Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 1 Luna facehooved, unable to fathom how things could have been screwed up so badly. A few hours ago, Discord escaped and stole the Elements of Harmony. While she could forgive her sister for not being able to prevent their theft, what was unbelievable was that she didn't have a contingency in place. Now, Twilight and her friends exited the maze, most of them corrupted and unable to wield them, which didn't matter because they were still missing. Luna was still recovering from her banishment on the moon, it was still a few months before she would be at full power, but she had more than enough to put her plan in motion. Lying open before her was a book written by the legendary unicorn summoner Divine Pentagram. It was open to a spell that would summon what it called 'The Elements of Victory'. While Luna had never heard of these Elements before, the description was quite clear. The Elements of Victory are not quite the Elements of Harmony. While the Elements of Harmony are unique to Equestria, and there are and shall always be 6, the Elements of Victory are more complex. They exist in every world on which there is life, and are ever changing. While using this spell will only summon 5, they will have the ability to create more as they are discovered. Luna grinned internally as she readied the spell. These Elements of Victory sounded strange, but they were the only thing she found that even came close to the Elements of Harmony. Charging her horn, she cast, praying to whoever would listen that they would be able to save here home. Sector V "Kids Next Door, we're under attack!" yelled Nigel Uno, AKA Numbuh 1. "Again? Numbuh 5 can't believe this, this is the third time this week," moaned Abigail Lincon, AKA Numbuh 5. "Ah, you say that like it's a bad thing," said Wallabee Beetles, AKA Numbuh 4, "I'm always up to kickin' the crud out of some baddies." "Quiet Numbuh 4," Numbuh 1 snapped, "Numbuh 2, have you identified our assailants?" "Yes sir," replied Hoagie Gilligan, AKA Numbuh 2, "it looks like the Delightful Children From Down the Lane." "Them again?" said Numbuh 4, "as much as I enjoy kicking their butts, it's starting to get a bit old." "Maybe they just want to be friends," said Kuki Sanban, AKA Numbuh 3. "I don't think so," said Numbuh 2, "looks like they've got a new Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine." "Well, then, looks like we'll need to bring out the big guns," said Numbuh 1, "Numbuh 3, you're up." "Okay, I'll get mister Hippy-Hop," said Numbuh 3 before running off. Outside, the Delightful Children From Down the Lane trundled forward in a giant crab shaped robot. "Hello Kids Next Dumb," they chanted eerily, "would you like to come out and play, we promise that it will be just, delightful." "Sorry, we're a bit busy," said Numbuh 1 over a microphone, "but Numbuh 3's available." With that, a hatch opened up on the treehouse, out of which jumped a giant mechanical rabbit that looked like it was built out of various construction vehicles. Kids Next Door, H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. Hare Inspired Piston Powered Ingenious Exoskeleton-Hops Over Parents The H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. let out a mighty roar, then numerous panels opened to reveal several dozen various laser cannons. However, before it could fire, the crab robot brought up one of its claws and crushed it. Numbuh 3 ejected, her parachute deploying after she landed, and ran back towards the treehouse. "Do you like our new toy?" the DCFDTL chanted, "Father gave it to us for doing so well on our last test, it's a Really Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine." "Looks like H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. wasn't enough," said Numbuh 1, "time to take things up a notch. Numbuh 4, warm up the G.O.G.O.-G.O.R.I.L.L.A., Numbuh 5, bring the S.P.L.O.R.K. into firing position, Numbuh 2, ready the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. for takeoff, I'll use the W.R.A.S.L.E.R., Kids Next Door, battle stations!" "That won't help," chanted the DCFDTL, "nothing you have can withstand the power of our Destructo Blaster." With that, the back of the RRRIDM opened to reveal a massive laser cannon. After charging for a few seconds, it fired at the treehouse, causing it to vanish, leaving nothing but ashes. "Goodbye, Kids Next Dorks," they chanted, before laughing evilly. Sweet Apple Acres Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were holed up in their clubhouse, riding out the storm of chaos that had been unleashed. They were also hiding from their sisters, surrogate in Scoot's case, who had been turned into mockeries of their former selves by Discord's magic. "I want ma sister back," said Apple Bloom. "You and me both," said Scootaloo. "Stupid Discord," Sweetie Belle chimed in, "why can't he just leave us alone." Before either of her friends could respond, a mighty thoom sounded. Jumping up, the three fillies went to look at what had happened now. What they saw was something they didn't expect. It was a massive tree, even by Apple Bloom's standards, decked out with a plethora of strange structures. "What do you think that is?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Probably another one of Discord's little games," replied Scootaloo. "I don't think so," said Apple Bloom, "sure it looks a bit funny, but it's not doing anything. Discord's stuff's always doin' somethin' weird." "Then what is it?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Let's go check it out!" said Scootaloo. "I don't think it's a good idea," said Sweetie Belle. "Well, I don't know about you two," said Apple Bloom, "but something about that thing makes me feel safe just looking at it." Hearing this, the others were surprised to feel the same way. The matter settled, they hooked up Apple Bloom's wagon to the back of Scootaloo's scooter and headed out. After a few minutes, they arrived and made their way up. In a large common room, or at least that's what they thought it was, they found 5 unconscious foals about their age. One was a dark blue unicorn with a black mane and a large red cap and blue sweater, the second a green earth pony wearing a green sweater with sleeves that were longer than her forelegs and a straight black mane, the third was a light blue unicorn with a wool flight cap and goggles, the fourth an orange earth pony in a hoodie with a yellow mane that covered his eyes, and the last was a red Pegasus with sunglasses and no mane. As they were debating on whether or not to wake them up, they started to stir on their own. Once they had managed to wake up, their eyes went wide, and the orange one started screaming. Transmission Interrupted Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 2Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 3Discord looked over his new domain, and grinned. He had managed to prevent any possible way for him to be stopped. The bearers had been twisted so that they couldn't use their Elements, and the Princesses had been turned into a quite lovely pigeon restroom. Now that he thought about it, a flock of pigeons the size of bears sound like a lovely idea, besides, Celestia and Luna could use some company. As he was looking around for a flock of pigeons to enlarge, he noticed something in the distance, something green. Wondering what it was, Discord summoned a bottle of soda, drank it, then used it as a telescope. Under closer inspection, Discord still had no idea what it was. "Whoever made that," he said to himself, "they've got style." The Kids Next Door of Sector V were cruising at speed in their trusty S.C.A.M.P.E.R., a flying machine made of a green camper with a couple of planes on the back for propulsion. Kids Next Door: S.C.A.M.P.E.R. Shabby Camper Actually Makes Perfect Emergency Rescue-mabob "Discord is in range," said Numbuh 2 from the pilot's seat. "Excellent Numbuh 2," Numbuh 1 replied, "here's the plan. As Numbuh 3 and I can fly, we will drop down when we get overhead and lay down covering fire so you can land. Once you're down, we'll commence a synchronized assault from all sides. I don't want him to be able to open his mouth without getting a super sour gumball shot down his throat." "Okay," said Numbuh 3, with a little less enthusiasm than usual. "What's the matter Numbuh 3?" asked Numbuh 5. "Those 3 girls we left back at the treehouse, they're all alone," Numbuh 3 replied. "Don't worry," said Numbuh 5, "they've got each other. Numbuh 5 promises that they'll be alright." "Really?" Numbuh 3 asked hopefully. "As long as they stay away from my stuff," said Numbuh 4. "Don't worry," said Numbuh 3, "the hamsters are keeping an eye on them." "Enough chatter," said Numbuh 1, "I'm a little worried about them too, but it's go time. Numbuh 3, prepare to drop." "Okay," Numbuh 3 replied, grabbing her T.H.U.M.P.E.R. "We're over the drop point," said Numbuh 2, "hang on to your underwear!" With that, he pressed a button on the dash, causing trapdoors to open underneath Numbuhs 1 and 3. Dropping down, they used their wings to come to a soft landing in front of Discord's throne. "Well, I wondered who could possible create such an interesting device," Discord commented, "but I have to admit, I didn't expect this. Congratulations, you're the first ponies to surprise me in, well, ever." "Aw, you mean you've never had a surprise party?" Numbuh 3 asked. "Ahem," Numbuh 1 interrupted, "I thought we were going to stop him?" Discord started laughing, "Oh, you two, are going to stop me? How are you going to do that, throw candy at me?" "No, habanero," Numbuh 1 said as he pulled out his weapon, which looked like a blow drier with a hot pepper plugged in the side. Kids Next Door: S.P.I.C.E.R. Stingy Pepper Infused Cannon Enflames Retinas Numbuh 1 pulled the trigger, causing a stream of pure hot sauce to enter Discord's eyes and nostrils, causing him to start screaming and running around. As he found a rain barrel of chocolate milk to dunk his head in, the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. landed, allowing Numbuhs 2, 4, and 5 to exit, weapons in hand. Discord's head emerged from the barrel, only for a teddy bear launched by Numbuh 3's T.H.U.M.P.E.R. to hit him in the face with enough force to launch him back, straight into the reach of Numbuh 4, who was dual wielding a pair of S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R.s. With a mighty whack, Discord was launched into the air, while Numbuhs 2 and 5 were taking advantage of their new found abilities to shoot him with about half-a-dozen G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A.s, each. When Discord finally landed, Numbuh 1 stood over him, S.P.I.C.E.R. in hoof. "Had enough?" "Yes I have," Discord said, snapping his fingers. With that, the KND's weapons turned into pillows. "I have to admit," Discord said as he stood up and dusted himself off, "you kids did good. If you want, I could use a couple of bright kids like you, it's not as much fun causing chaos by myself." "Not a chance," Numbuh 1 said indignantly, "your chaotic mischief has caused suffering for countless kids, and adults but that's not important right now. We are the Kids Next Door, and anyone who hurts kids on purpose, will answer to us." With that, he twirled his pillow around like a set of nun-chucks, before settling into a combat stance, with the other KND following suit. "Now," said Numbuh 1, "who's up for a pillow fight?" "Oh, I am!" Discord exclaimed. With a snap of his fingers he conjured a tank, and a general's outfit for himself. With a bang, the turret on the tank fired a volley of pillows at an insane velocity. The KND barely managed to dodge the first volley before Discord fired repeatedly in rapid succession. "I have to admit," Discord said as he watched the KND scramble for cover, "I haven't had this much fun in ages." Looking around, he noticed that Numbuh 2 was out in the open. With a chuckle, he rotated the tank for a clear shot. Then something big and yellow crashed into him Transmission Interrupted Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 4(30 minutes earlier) The Crusaders watched as the KND left to battle Discord. "So, what happens now?" asked Apple Bloom. "Let's look around," suggested Scootaloo, "this place has to have a bunch of cool stuff." "I dunno," Sweetie Belle started, before Scootaloo interrupted. "Come on, this place has to have all kinds of juicy stuff," she said before running off. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle followed soon after, partially to keep her out of trouble, but mostly because they too were curious. There was all kinds of neat stuff, from a huge tank of nacho cheese, to a room that had about a hundred hamster wheels. After a bit, they arrived at Numbuh 1's room. On a pedestal, was a book. Normally the CMC couldn't care less about a book, unless they were comics and even then that was more Scootaloo's thing, but something about this book was different. "What is this thing," Scootaloo asked, reading the cover, "The Book of KND? Kind of a lame title." "I dunno, maybe we should take a look," replied Sweetie Belle. Giving it a read, they saw various designs and strategies for kids to battle adult tyranny. Now, the CMC might not have always gotten along with the more adult members of Ponyville, but they wouldn't go as far as to call it tyranny. Near the end, they saw a page that was a bit different. Written on it, 5 words only: We are Kids Next Door. "Wow, this is a pretty good book," said Scootaloo, "I've got about a hundred new ideas to try and find our Cutie Marks already." "Yeah, that 2x4 technology stuff was pretty cool," Apple Bloom said before turning the page. However, when they saw what was written on it, they gasped. "We need to get to them," said Sweetie Belle. "Now doubt about that," replied Apple Bloom, "the only question is how?" "Don't worry about that," said Scootaloo, "I have an idea." Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle cringed, wondering how much tree sap it would involve this time. (Present) "Um, how did that get here?" asked Numbuh 5, looking at the crashed C.O.O.L.B.U.S. As if in response to her question, the door popped open, and a rather disoriented CMC walked out. "Uhh... I thought you said you could fly this thing Scoots," groaned Sweetie Belle. "I got us here didn't I?" retorted Scootaloo. "And what are you three doing here?" asked Numbuh 1. "We came to help," said Sweetie Belle, holding the book of KND in her magic, "look, the book said you have Elements too. Since you don't know magic, we came to help." Numbuh 1 groaned, "Look, we're in the middle of a battle here, this is no place for civilians." "Numbuh 5's not too sure," Numbuh 5 said as she took a look at the page that Sweetie Belle held open, "you should take a look at this." Before anypony could respond, Discord shot up from under the wreckage. "Well, I have to admit, you three have an excellent sense of timing. Crushing me as I was about to blast tubby over there? A masterpiece of comedic and dramatic timing. But I suppose it's time for me to end this little game," Discord snapped his fingers, conjuring a battalion of pillow tanks, "and as I always say, if you're gonna do anything, do it with a bang." "Discord!" called a voice. "Hold that thought," Discord said as he turned to see who it was, "ah Twilight, come back to try your little 'Orbital Harmony Canon' trick again. Seriously, you'd think that you'd get the hint after the last time you tried." "Well, this time you're in for a nasty shock, ready girls?" With that, Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 charged their elements and fired. However, Discord simply conjured himself a suit of armor and withstood the blast. "What!? How is this possible?" "Silly Twilight, despite what you might think, I do know how o plan ahead," Discord replied as he brushed some dust from his shoulder, "I had enough of being a statue from the last time, so I figured out how to block it. I'll admit it wasn't easy, but I did have a thousand years to brainstorm, it's amazing how many ideas you can have when you can't do anything else but think. It'll take more than the Elements of Harmony to shut me down this time." "Then how about Victory?" Numbuh 1 asked. Discord turned to see that the KND were gathered in front of the book, which was glowing and hovering a few feet off the ground on it's own. "Now, our new friends told us how these Elements of Harmony work, and it looks like we have our own version." Discord narrowed his eyes to see what was written on the book, and what he saw gave him pause. Elements of Victory Numbuh 1: Numbuh 2: Numbuh 3: Numbuh 4: Numbuh 5: "Well then, let's get started." As soon as Numbuh 1 said that, multicolored orbs flew out of the Book and hovered in front of the KND. "Let's see, where should we begin. Ah, I know. Numbuh 5, she always knows exactly what the opponent is thinking before they do, and can read more than a few ancient languages from various lost candy civilizations, she represents the Element of, Knowledge." As he said that, the orb in front of Numbuh 5 turned white and turned into a S.C.A.M.P. "Next I think is Numbuh 4. As our Close Combat Specialist, he's always honing his skills, whether for combat or kickball. Also, no matter what you throw at him, he'll always come back swinging, even if he needs to be patched up first. He represents the Element of, Strength." Numbuh 4's orb turned into a yellow S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. "Numbuh 3, tricky, but I've got it. Numbuh 3 always does whatever she can to keep our spirits up, and when she get's mad, well let's just say that whoever it's aimed at quickly loses whatever semblance of courage they had. She represents the Element of, Morale." Numbuh 3's orb turned into a green T.H.U.M.P.E.R. "Now, Numbuh 2 might not be the best in a direct fight, but he's a master pilot, and can create any kind of equipment we need. He represents the Element of, Ingenuity." Numbuh 2's orb turned into a blue G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. "And as for me? I've lead my team on countless missions, and every single time we've come out on top. The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, Father, Grandfather, you name 'em, we've beat 'em. I represent the Element of, Leadership." Numbuh 1's orb turned into a red S.P.I.C.E.R. II. "Now, let's end this." With that, multicolored beams shot from their weapons and impacted Discord. As the smoke cleared, Discord emerged, armor shattered but otherwise fine. "Ha, looks like you need a little more practice, I think there's a bowling alley around here somewhere." "Oh my dear Discord," Numbuh 1 said, "aren't we forgetting something?" Discord turned to see that the Mane 6 were readying another shot. He snapped his fingers, but to his surprise he couldn't call his armor. Just before the beam hit, he shrugged, "Well, I guess the third time's the charm." As the beam faded, Discord had been turned to stone, and was holding a sign that said 'Cheaters'. The KND grinned as their weapons turned back into balls of light and sunk into their Cutie Marks. The Book glowed brighter for a second as their Elements appeared next to their names before it faded and dropped to the ground. "Well," Numbuh 1 said, "it looks like no matter the world..." "KIDS NEXT DOOR RULES!!" shouted all of the KND. Transmission Interrupted Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 5Numbuh 362 looked over the remains of Sector V's treehouse. As the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door, she didn't have time to mourn for them, but she could do what she could to ensure that no other Sectors met the same fate. Glancing over to her left, she saw Numbuh 74.239 approaching. "Report." "Whatever this was, it was massive. Preliminary results indicated that over 7 kajilion joules of energy were at work." "Hah, it was probably one of those stupid boys doing one of their stupid experiments and getting himself blown up like a stupidhead," scoffed Numbuh 86. Numbuh 362 sighed, Numbuh 86 was her right hand for a reason, but her dislike of boys could get annoying real fast. "Definitely not, this was the work of something that originated outside the treehouse," Numbuh 74.239 countered. "Well, whatever it is we need to find out who's responsible," Numbuh 362 said, "and break out the root beer, Sector V deserves a proper send-off." "That won't be necessary," said Numbuh 74.239. "What do you mean." "The area is saturated with Trans-Dimesionarialisim energy. From what we've been able to gather, Sector V has been sent to another plane of reality." "Then find out which one and how to bring them back!" Numbuh 362 yelled. As Numbuh 74.239 ran off, Numbuh 362 turned back towards the site, "Don't worry guys, we'll save you, no matter what kind of nightmare you're in." "Party Time!!!" Pinkie and Numbuh 3 yelled exuberantly. After Discord was re-petrified, Pinkie had wasted zero time in setting up a party to celebrate. And once Numbuh 3 caught wind of it, she immediately started to help. The end result was the biggest party anyone had ever seen, although not everyone was enjoying it. "Numbuh 4, what's wrong with you this time?" Numbuh 5 asked. "I thought we'd be going home after beating Discord, but now we're at a girly party with a bunch of girly ponies." "Come on, did you really think it would be that easy? Numbuh 2 needs some time to figure out how we got here, let alone how to go back, just relax and enjoy the party." Numbuh 4 just grumbled, "Fine, but if this party's lame, I'm out." As it turned out, he needn't have worried. While at first glance it looked a bit girly for his tastes, the games were fun, the music catchy, and the food, well let's just say it was the highlight. "Numbuh 5's more of a candy girl, but this cake aint too bad." "You said it," Numbuh 4 replied, before stuffing his face. "Numbuh 4, Numbuh 5, glad to see you're enjoying the party," said Numbuh 1 as he walked over. "Numbuh 5 thinks we should have a party after every mission," said Numbuh 5 "I'll take it under advisement. Anyway, Numbuh 2's already trying to find out how we got here so we can get home, can I count on you to do the same?" "No problem, Numbuh 5 always gets the goods." "Excellent, we need to inform KND Moonbase about this new weapon as soon as possible." "Hey, who are they?" Numbuh 4 said, pointing. Numbuh 1 and 5 turned to see that two new Ponies had appeared. "Apple Bloom told me about those 2," Numbuh 5 said, "those are the Princesses, Celestia and Luna." "And you didn't mention them before why?" asked Numbuh 1. "Because I didn't think we'd meet 'em," Numbuh 5 replied. Numbuh 1 sighed, "Well anyway, is there anything else we should know about them?" "Not sure," Numbuh 5 said as she had another forkful of cake, "the girls didn't know a whole lot about them. All they really knew is that they're a fourth race called alicorns, have butt-loads of magic, are over a thousand years old, and control the sun and moon." Numbuh 1 raised an eyebrow, "Control the sun and moon, really?" "We're on another planet, where magic is real, and fought a mishmash of monster parts who made a battalion of tanks that shot pillows out of nothing with a bunch of lights that came from The Book and turned into weapons, and are now ponies, and that's what you find unbelievable?" Numbuh 1 sighed, "I suppose you have a point." Numbuh 5 grinned in satisfaction before turning to look at the princesses, "I wonder." "Wonder what?" asked Numbuh 1. "If those two are so good with magic, maybe they know how to get us back home!" Numbuh 1 grinned, "Excellent work Numbuh 5, let's question these princesses and get them to send us home." Numbuhs 1 and 5 walked over to the princesses, Numbuh 4 was currently on his 5th slice of cake, who were currently talking to Twilight. "Honestly, when the Elements did nothing, I could have sworn my heart stopped," Twilight said, "if it wasn't for those Element of Victory foals, I honestly don't know what would have happened." "Yes, it always pays to have a backup plan, isn't that right dear sister?" Luna asked, looking like the cat that swallowed the canary. Celestia sighed, "Yes Luna, your summoning spell saved the day, when are you ever going to let us forget that?" "Hmm, remind me sister, how long do alicorns live again?" As Celestia groaned, Numbuh 1 interjected, "Pardon me, but if I understand correctly, are you the one who called us here?" "That I am," Luna said before dipping into a deep bow, "on behalf of my entire kingdom, thank you." "No problem, you actually saved us from a bit of a bad spot, so consider it just repaying the favor," Numbuh 5 said. "While I agree that we were more than happy to help deal with this Discord fellow, we're needed back home as soon as possible," Numbuh 1 said. "Er, are you sure you don't want to stay for the party?" Luna asked, somewhat evasively. "I suppose it would be rude to leave in the middle of this lovely party, but right after we need to get home." "Well, um, you see the thing is," Luna blushed, "I don't know how to send you back." Numbuh 5 stuck her hoof in her ear to clean it out, "Would you mind repeating that? Numbuh 5 didn't quite catch that." "Well, you see, the thing is, I got the spell to summon you from a book, and the book didn't, exactly, have a reverse spell." Numbuh 1's eye twitched as Numbuh 5 covered her ears, knowing what was about to happen. End Transmission "WHAT!?" Operation: P.H.A.L.E. Part 1Author's Note Phoning Home Accidentally Lures Enemies Operation: P.H.A.L.E. Part 1 Numbuh 5, Princess Luna and Twilight were currently tinkering with the communications systems. While sending them back was currently impossible, the primary stumbling blocks being the massive power requirements and the need to pinpoint exactly where their home was, opening communications required much less energy and would help them with the targeting. "Are we ready Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 1 asked. "Just about," she replied, "just need to power it up and we're good to go." "Excellent," Numbuh 1 said before bringing a walkie talkie to his face, "Numbuh 3, bring generators to full." "Okay!" Down in the reactor room, Numbuh 3 pulled a lever, causing mechanical arms to hold out carrots in front of the hamsters running in the wheels that powered the base, causing them to run even faster, generating ludicrous amounts of power. Numbuh 5 watched a gauge, once it showed that there was enough power, she shot a thumbs up at Numbuh 1, then chuckled as she remembered she now had hooves. Numbuh 1 spoke into the microphone, "Numbuh 1 calling Kids Next Door Central Command, come in Central Command." Out of the speaker came a crackle of static, but soon enough words could be heard, "--------- is Numbuh 362 -------------------- please repeat." As the others cheered, Numbuh 1 simply grinned and leaned back to the microphone, "Repeat, this is Numbuh 1 calling Kids Next Door Central Command." "Numbuh 1? -------- glad to hear from you. Wha------our status?" "We are currently in another plane of reality. We were summoned via magic to assist with a being of immense power. I am happy to report that we were successful and are currently working on a way back." "Magic? Well, considering what else you've been up to it----uch of a stretch. We're working on a way tho bring---------------our end, so hang tight." "Understood, Numbuh 1 out." Numbuh 1 flipped the off switch on the radio, but it remained on. He flipped it a few more times, but the dial only glowed brighter. "Numbuh 3, shut down the reactor." "I can't," she replied as she tied bandages on several hamsters who had been launched to the ground, "the wheels started spinning on there own, and I can't stop them." Before Numbuh 1 could issue another order, everything went dark for a minute before booting back up. A flashing light on one of the consoles grabbed his attention, "Hmm, looks like a surge of Trans-Dimesionarialisim energy." At the same time, Luna received a message from her sister, "It appears that a strange structure has appeared on the peak of Mount Canter, it might be from your home dimension." Numbuh 2 descended down the stairs, "Hey, I managed to fix the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R." "Excellent timing Numbuh 2, prepare it for immediate departure, we have a lead to investigate." From out of the treehouse's main hanger emerged a massive flying craft that resembled a navy cruiser with a pair of space shuttles on the side and an angry looking face on the front. Kids Next Door: K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. Kuite Obnoxiously Large Oversized Super Ship Allows Landing In Nefarious Enemy Region On board were Sector V, along with Princess Luna who insisted on coming along, saying that she was worried about her sister. However, based on the fact that she was examining every part of the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R.'s cockpit, it was apparent that she had ulterior motives. "We'll arrive in 10 minutes," said Numbuh 2 from the pilot's seat. "Excellent," replied Numbuh 1, before a tapping sound got his attention, "I thought you said you fixed this thing?" "Hey, that's not the engine, that's cargo locker 3," Numbuh 2 replied indignantly. "You can tell?" asked Luna. "Yup, just like... magic," Numbuh 2 said before chuckling to himself, as everyone else groaned. "Even in another dimension your jokes stink," complained Numbuh 5. "Ugh, would you mind finding out what that tapping is Numbuh 5?" said Numbuh 1. "No problem," she replied as she left her seat. Walking to the locker, she decided to get some practice in and opened it with her magic. Once it opened, a bouncy ball hit her on the forehead. "Oops, sorry 'bout that," said Scootaloo, who had been hiding in the locker with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Numbuh 1 facehooved, "And what are you three doing here?" "Cause we wanna be like you guys!" said Scootaloo, "you guys are kids, but you took down Discord, that's awesome." They all took a deep breath before shouting, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS KIDS NEXT DOOR OPERATIVES YAY!!!!!!!" Everyone gathered was disoriented by the shout, causing the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. to dip slightly before Numbuh 2 could recover. "We were unaware that foals could learn the Royal Canterlot Voice," Luna said before shaking her head. "We're gonna have to take them back," said Numbuh 1. "Too late for that," said Numbuh 2, "we're coming up on Mount Canter." Numbuh 1 looked to see that they have arrived, and saw what triggered the alert. It was a large structure that looked like an elephant, and was surrounded by what looked like guardsponies made of ice. "Oooh, somebody's really good at ice sculpting," said Numbuh 3. "Those are no sculptures," said Luna. Numbuh 1's eyes widened behind his glasses as her words sunk in. At the same moment, the trunk of the elephant pointed at the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. before firing a beam of blue-white energy, causing it to be encased in ice and fall to the ground. From within the structure, an absurdly fat earth pony with an orange mane and goatee, who for some strange reason had elephant feet and ears, watched from a monitor.

Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 1Author's Note Ancient Princess Prevents Evil - Assistance Requested Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 1 Luna facehooved, unable to fathom how things could have been screwed up so badly. A few hours ago, Discord escaped and stole the Elements of Harmony. While she could forgive her sister for not being able to prevent their theft, what was unbelievable was that she didn't have a contingency in place. Now, Twilight and her friends exited the maze, most of them corrupted and unable to wield them, which didn't matter because they were still missing. Luna was still recovering from her banishment on the moon, it was still a few months before she would be at full power, but she had more than enough to put her plan in motion. Lying open before her was a book written by the legendary unicorn summoner Divine Pentagram. It was open to a spell that would summon what it called 'The Elements of Victory'. While Luna had never heard of these Elements before, the description was quite clear. The Elements of Victory are not quite the Elements of Harmony. While the Elements of Harmony are unique to Equestria, and there are and shall always be 6, the Elements of Victory are more complex. They exist in every world on which there is life, and are ever changing. While using this spell will only summon 5, they will have the ability to create more as they are discovered. Luna grinned internally as she readied the spell. These Elements of Victory sounded strange, but they were the only thing she found that even came close to the Elements of Harmony. Charging her horn, she cast, praying to whoever would listen that they would be able to save here home. Sector V "Kids Next Door, we're under attack!" yelled Nigel Uno, AKA Numbuh 1. "Again? Numbuh 5 can't believe this, this is the third time this week," moaned Abigail Lincon, AKA Numbuh 5. "Ah, you say that like it's a bad thing," said Wallabee Beetles, AKA Numbuh 4, "I'm always up to kickin' the crud out of some baddies." "Quiet Numbuh 4," Numbuh 1 snapped, "Numbuh 2, have you identified our assailants?" "Yes sir," replied Hoagie Gilligan, AKA Numbuh 2, "it looks like the Delightful Children From Down the Lane." "Them again?" said Numbuh 4, "as much as I enjoy kicking their butts, it's starting to get a bit old." "Maybe they just want to be friends," said Kuki Sanban, AKA Numbuh 3. "I don't think so," said Numbuh 2, "looks like they've got a new Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine." "Well, then, looks like we'll need to bring out the big guns," said Numbuh 1, "Numbuh 3, you're up." "Okay, I'll get mister Hippy-Hop," said Numbuh 3 before running off. Outside, the Delightful Children From Down the Lane trundled forward in a giant crab shaped robot. "Hello Kids Next Dumb," they chanted eerily, "would you like to come out and play, we promise that it will be just, delightful." "Sorry, we're a bit busy," said Numbuh 1 over a microphone, "but Numbuh 3's available." With that, a hatch opened up on the treehouse, out of which jumped a giant mechanical rabbit that looked like it was built out of various construction vehicles. Kids Next Door, H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. Hare Inspired Piston Powered Ingenious Exoskeleton-Hops Over Parents The H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. let out a mighty roar, then numerous panels opened to reveal several dozen various laser cannons. However, before it could fire, the crab robot brought up one of its claws and crushed it. Numbuh 3 ejected, her parachute deploying after she landed, and ran back towards the treehouse. "Do you like our new toy?" the DCFDTL chanted, "Father gave it to us for doing so well on our last test, it's a Really Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine." "Looks like H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. wasn't enough," said Numbuh 1, "time to take things up a notch. Numbuh 4, warm up the G.O.G.O.-G.O.R.I.L.L.A., Numbuh 5, bring the S.P.L.O.R.K. into firing position, Numbuh 2, ready the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. for takeoff, I'll use the W.R.A.S.L.E.R., Kids Next Door, battle stations!" "That won't help," chanted the DCFDTL, "nothing you have can withstand the power of our Destructo Blaster." With that, the back of the RRRIDM opened to reveal a massive laser cannon. After charging for a few seconds, it fired at the treehouse, causing it to vanish, leaving nothing but ashes. "Goodbye, Kids Next Dorks," they chanted, before laughing evilly. Sweet Apple Acres Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were holed up in their clubhouse, riding out the storm of chaos that had been unleashed. They were also hiding from their sisters, surrogate in Scoot's case, who had been turned into mockeries of their former selves by Discord's magic. "I want ma sister back," said Apple Bloom. "You and me both," said Scootaloo. "Stupid Discord," Sweetie Belle chimed in, "why can't he just leave us alone." Before either of her friends could respond, a mighty thoom sounded. Jumping up, the three fillies went to look at what had happened now. What they saw was something they didn't expect. It was a massive tree, even by Apple Bloom's standards, decked out with a plethora of strange structures. "What do you think that is?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Probably another one of Discord's little games," replied Scootaloo. "I don't think so," said Apple Bloom, "sure it looks a bit funny, but it's not doing anything. Discord's stuff's always doin' somethin' weird." "Then what is it?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Let's go check it out!" said Scootaloo. "I don't think it's a good idea," said Sweetie Belle. "Well, I don't know about you two," said Apple Bloom, "but something about that thing makes me feel safe just looking at it." Hearing this, the others were surprised to feel the same way. The matter settled, they hooked up Apple Bloom's wagon to the back of Scootaloo's scooter and headed out. After a few minutes, they arrived and made their way up. In a large common room, or at least that's what they thought it was, they found 5 unconscious foals about their age. One was a dark blue unicorn with a black mane and a large red cap and blue sweater, the second a green earth pony wearing a green sweater with sleeves that were longer than her forelegs and a straight black mane, the third was a light blue unicorn with a wool flight cap and goggles, the fourth an orange earth pony in a hoodie with a yellow mane that covered his eyes, and the last was a red Pegasus with sunglasses and no mane. As they were debating on whether or not to wake them up, they started to stir on their own. Once they had managed to wake up, their eyes went wide, and the orange one started screaming.

Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 2Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 3Discord looked over his new domain, and grinned. He had managed to prevent any possible way for him to be stopped. The bearers had been twisted so that they couldn't use their Elements, and the Princesses had been turned into a quite lovely pigeon restroom. Now that he thought about it, a flock of pigeons the size of bears sound like a lovely idea, besides, Celestia and Luna could use some company. As he was looking around for a flock of pigeons to enlarge, he noticed something in the distance, something green. Wondering what it was, Discord summoned a bottle of soda, drank it, then used it as a telescope. Under closer inspection, Discord still had no idea what it was. "Whoever made that," he said to himself, "they've got style." The Kids Next Door of Sector V were cruising at speed in their trusty S.C.A.M.P.E.R., a flying machine made of a green camper with a couple of planes on the back for propulsion. Kids Next Door: S.C.A.M.P.E.R. Shabby Camper Actually Makes Perfect Emergency Rescue-mabob "Discord is in range," said Numbuh 2 from the pilot's seat. "Excellent Numbuh 2," Numbuh 1 replied, "here's the plan. As Numbuh 3 and I can fly, we will drop down when we get overhead and lay down covering fire so you can land. Once you're down, we'll commence a synchronized assault from all sides. I don't want him to be able to open his mouth without getting a super sour gumball shot down his throat." "Okay," said Numbuh 3, with a little less enthusiasm than usual. "What's the matter Numbuh 3?" asked Numbuh 5. "Those 3 girls we left back at the treehouse, they're all alone," Numbuh 3 replied. "Don't worry," said Numbuh 5, "they've got each other. Numbuh 5 promises that they'll be alright." "Really?" Numbuh 3 asked hopefully. "As long as they stay away from my stuff," said Numbuh 4. "Don't worry," said Numbuh 3, "the hamsters are keeping an eye on them." "Enough chatter," said Numbuh 1, "I'm a little worried about them too, but it's go time. Numbuh 3, prepare to drop." "Okay," Numbuh 3 replied, grabbing her T.H.U.M.P.E.R. "We're over the drop point," said Numbuh 2, "hang on to your underwear!" With that, he pressed a button on the dash, causing trapdoors to open underneath Numbuhs 1 and 3. Dropping down, they used their wings to come to a soft landing in front of Discord's throne. "Well, I wondered who could possible create such an interesting device," Discord commented, "but I have to admit, I didn't expect this. Congratulations, you're the first ponies to surprise me in, well, ever." "Aw, you mean you've never had a surprise party?" Numbuh 3 asked. "Ahem," Numbuh 1 interrupted, "I thought we were going to stop him?" Discord started laughing, "Oh, you two, are going to stop me? How are you going to do that, throw candy at me?" "No, habanero," Numbuh 1 said as he pulled out his weapon, which looked like a blow drier with a hot pepper plugged in the side. Kids Next Door: S.P.I.C.E.R. Stingy Pepper Infused Cannon Enflames Retinas Numbuh 1 pulled the trigger, causing a stream of pure hot sauce to enter Discord's eyes and nostrils, causing him to start screaming and running around. As he found a rain barrel of chocolate milk to dunk his head in, the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. landed, allowing Numbuhs 2, 4, and 5 to exit, weapons in hand. Discord's head emerged from the barrel, only for a teddy bear launched by Numbuh 3's T.H.U.M.P.E.R. to hit him in the face with enough force to launch him back, straight into the reach of Numbuh 4, who was dual wielding a pair of S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R.s. With a mighty whack, Discord was launched into the air, while Numbuhs 2 and 5 were taking advantage of their new found abilities to shoot him with about half-a-dozen G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A.s, each. When Discord finally landed, Numbuh 1 stood over him, S.P.I.C.E.R. in hoof. "Had enough?" "Yes I have," Discord said, snapping his fingers. With that, the KND's weapons turned into pillows. "I have to admit," Discord said as he stood up and dusted himself off, "you kids did good. If you want, I could use a couple of bright kids like you, it's not as much fun causing chaos by myself." "Not a chance," Numbuh 1 said indignantly, "your chaotic mischief has caused suffering for countless kids, and adults but that's not important right now. We are the Kids Next Door, and anyone who hurts kids on purpose, will answer to us." With that, he twirled his pillow around like a set of nun-chucks, before settling into a combat stance, with the other KND following suit. "Now," said Numbuh 1, "who's up for a pillow fight?" "Oh, I am!" Discord exclaimed. With a snap of his fingers he conjured a tank, and a general's outfit for himself. With a bang, the turret on the tank fired a volley of pillows at an insane velocity. The KND barely managed to dodge the first volley before Discord fired repeatedly in rapid succession. "I have to admit," Discord said as he watched the KND scramble for cover, "I haven't had this much fun in ages." Looking around, he noticed that Numbuh 2 was out in the open. With a chuckle, he rotated the tank for a clear shot. Then something big and yellow crashed into him Transmission Interrupted
Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 4(30 minutes earlier) The Crusaders watched as the KND left to battle Discord. "So, what happens now?" asked Apple Bloom. "Let's look around," suggested Scootaloo, "this place has to have a bunch of cool stuff." "I dunno," Sweetie Belle started, before Scootaloo interrupted. "Come on, this place has to have all kinds of juicy stuff," she said before running off. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle followed soon after, partially to keep her out of trouble, but mostly because they too were curious. There was all kinds of neat stuff, from a huge tank of nacho cheese, to a room that had about a hundred hamster wheels. After a bit, they arrived at Numbuh 1's room. On a pedestal, was a book. Normally the CMC couldn't care less about a book, unless they were comics and even then that was more Scootaloo's thing, but something about this book was different. "What is this thing," Scootaloo asked, reading the cover, "The Book of KND? Kind of a lame title." "I dunno, maybe we should take a look," replied Sweetie Belle. Giving it a read, they saw various designs and strategies for kids to battle adult tyranny. Now, the CMC might not have always gotten along with the more adult members of Ponyville, but they wouldn't go as far as to call it tyranny. Near the end, they saw a page that was a bit different. Written on it, 5 words only: We are Kids Next Door. "Wow, this is a pretty good book," said Scootaloo, "I've got about a hundred new ideas to try and find our Cutie Marks already." "Yeah, that 2x4 technology stuff was pretty cool," Apple Bloom said before turning the page. However, when they saw what was written on it, they gasped. "We need to get to them," said Sweetie Belle. "Now doubt about that," replied Apple Bloom, "the only question is how?" "Don't worry about that," said Scootaloo, "I have an idea." Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle cringed, wondering how much tree sap it would involve this time. (Present) "Um, how did that get here?" asked Numbuh 5, looking at the crashed C.O.O.L.B.U.S. As if in response to her question, the door popped open, and a rather disoriented CMC walked out. "Uhh... I thought you said you could fly this thing Scoots," groaned Sweetie Belle. "I got us here didn't I?" retorted Scootaloo. "And what are you three doing here?" asked Numbuh 1. "We came to help," said Sweetie Belle, holding the book of KND in her magic, "look, the book said you have Elements too. Since you don't know magic, we came to help." Numbuh 1 groaned, "Look, we're in the middle of a battle here, this is no place for civilians." "Numbuh 5's not too sure," Numbuh 5 said as she took a look at the page that Sweetie Belle held open, "you should take a look at this." Before anypony could respond, Discord shot up from under the wreckage. "Well, I have to admit, you three have an excellent sense of timing. Crushing me as I was about to blast tubby over there? A masterpiece of comedic and dramatic timing. But I suppose it's time for me to end this little game," Discord snapped his fingers, conjuring a battalion of pillow tanks, "and as I always say, if you're gonna do anything, do it with a bang." "Discord!" called a voice. "Hold that thought," Discord said as he turned to see who it was, "ah Twilight, come back to try your little 'Orbital Harmony Canon' trick again. Seriously, you'd think that you'd get the hint after the last time you tried." "Well, this time you're in for a nasty shock, ready girls?" With that, Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 charged their elements and fired. However, Discord simply conjured himself a suit of armor and withstood the blast. "What!? How is this possible?" "Silly Twilight, despite what you might think, I do know how o plan ahead," Discord replied as he brushed some dust from his shoulder, "I had enough of being a statue from the last time, so I figured out how to block it. I'll admit it wasn't easy, but I did have a thousand years to brainstorm, it's amazing how many ideas you can have when you can't do anything else but think. It'll take more than the Elements of Harmony to shut me down this time." "Then how about Victory?" Numbuh 1 asked. Discord turned to see that the KND were gathered in front of the book, which was glowing and hovering a few feet off the ground on it's own. "Now, our new friends told us how these Elements of Harmony work, and it looks like we have our own version." Discord narrowed his eyes to see what was written on the book, and what he saw gave him pause. Elements of Victory Numbuh 1: Numbuh 2: Numbuh 3: Numbuh 4: Numbuh 5: "Well then, let's get started." As soon as Numbuh 1 said that, multicolored orbs flew out of the Book and hovered in front of the KND. "Let's see, where should we begin. Ah, I know. Numbuh 5, she always knows exactly what the opponent is thinking before they do, and can read more than a few ancient languages from various lost candy civilizations, she represents the Element of, Knowledge." As he said that, the orb in front of Numbuh 5 turned white and turned into a S.C.A.M.P. "Next I think is Numbuh 4. As our Close Combat Specialist, he's always honing his skills, whether for combat or kickball. Also, no matter what you throw at him, he'll always come back swinging, even if he needs to be patched up first. He represents the Element of, Strength." Numbuh 4's orb turned into a yellow S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. "Numbuh 3, tricky, but I've got it. Numbuh 3 always does whatever she can to keep our spirits up, and when she get's mad, well let's just say that whoever it's aimed at quickly loses whatever semblance of courage they had. She represents the Element of, Morale." Numbuh 3's orb turned into a green T.H.U.M.P.E.R. "Now, Numbuh 2 might not be the best in a direct fight, but he's a master pilot, and can create any kind of equipment we need. He represents the Element of, Ingenuity." Numbuh 2's orb turned into a blue G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. "And as for me? I've lead my team on countless missions, and every single time we've come out on top. The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, Father, Grandfather, you name 'em, we've beat 'em. I represent the Element of, Leadership." Numbuh 1's orb turned into a red S.P.I.C.E.R. II. "Now, let's end this." With that, multicolored beams shot from their weapons and impacted Discord. As the smoke cleared, Discord emerged, armor shattered but otherwise fine. "Ha, looks like you need a little more practice, I think there's a bowling alley around here somewhere." "Oh my dear Discord," Numbuh 1 said, "aren't we forgetting something?" Discord turned to see that the Mane 6 were readying another shot. He snapped his fingers, but to his surprise he couldn't call his armor. Just before the beam hit, he shrugged, "Well, I guess the third time's the charm." As the beam faded, Discord had been turned to stone, and was holding a sign that said 'Cheaters'. The KND grinned as their weapons turned back into balls of light and sunk into their Cutie Marks. The Book glowed brighter for a second as their Elements appeared next to their names before it faded and dropped to the ground. "Well," Numbuh 1 said, "it looks like no matter the world..." "KIDS NEXT DOOR RULES!!" shouted all of the KND. Transmission Interrupted
Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 5Numbuh 362 looked over the remains of Sector V's treehouse. As the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door, she didn't have time to mourn for them, but she could do what she could to ensure that no other Sectors met the same fate. Glancing over to her left, she saw Numbuh 74.239 approaching. "Report." "Whatever this was, it was massive. Preliminary results indicated that over 7 kajilion joules of energy were at work." "Hah, it was probably one of those stupid boys doing one of their stupid experiments and getting himself blown up like a stupidhead," scoffed Numbuh 86. Numbuh 362 sighed, Numbuh 86 was her right hand for a reason, but her dislike of boys could get annoying real fast. "Definitely not, this was the work of something that originated outside the treehouse," Numbuh 74.239 countered. "Well, whatever it is we need to find out who's responsible," Numbuh 362 said, "and break out the root beer, Sector V deserves a proper send-off." "That won't be necessary," said Numbuh 74.239. "What do you mean." "The area is saturated with Trans-Dimesionarialisim energy. From what we've been able to gather, Sector V has been sent to another plane of reality." "Then find out which one and how to bring them back!" Numbuh 362 yelled. As Numbuh 74.239 ran off, Numbuh 362 turned back towards the site, "Don't worry guys, we'll save you, no matter what kind of nightmare you're in." "Party Time!!!" Pinkie and Numbuh 3 yelled exuberantly. After Discord was re-petrified, Pinkie had wasted zero time in setting up a party to celebrate. And once Numbuh 3 caught wind of it, she immediately started to help. The end result was the biggest party anyone had ever seen, although not everyone was enjoying it. "Numbuh 4, what's wrong with you this time?" Numbuh 5 asked. "I thought we'd be going home after beating Discord, but now we're at a girly party with a bunch of girly ponies." "Come on, did you really think it would be that easy? Numbuh 2 needs some time to figure out how we got here, let alone how to go back, just relax and enjoy the party." Numbuh 4 just grumbled, "Fine, but if this party's lame, I'm out." As it turned out, he needn't have worried. While at first glance it looked a bit girly for his tastes, the games were fun, the music catchy, and the food, well let's just say it was the highlight. "Numbuh 5's more of a candy girl, but this cake aint too bad." "You said it," Numbuh 4 replied, before stuffing his face. "Numbuh 4, Numbuh 5, glad to see you're enjoying the party," said Numbuh 1 as he walked over. "Numbuh 5 thinks we should have a party after every mission," said Numbuh 5 "I'll take it under advisement. Anyway, Numbuh 2's already trying to find out how we got here so we can get home, can I count on you to do the same?" "No problem, Numbuh 5 always gets the goods." "Excellent, we need to inform KND Moonbase about this new weapon as soon as possible." "Hey, who are they?" Numbuh 4 said, pointing. Numbuh 1 and 5 turned to see that two new Ponies had appeared. "Apple Bloom told me about those 2," Numbuh 5 said, "those are the Princesses, Celestia and Luna." "And you didn't mention them before why?" asked Numbuh 1. "Because I didn't think we'd meet 'em," Numbuh 5 replied. Numbuh 1 sighed, "Well anyway, is there anything else we should know about them?" "Not sure," Numbuh 5 said as she had another forkful of cake, "the girls didn't know a whole lot about them. All they really knew is that they're a fourth race called alicorns, have butt-loads of magic, are over a thousand years old, and control the sun and moon." Numbuh 1 raised an eyebrow, "Control the sun and moon, really?" "We're on another planet, where magic is real, and fought a mishmash of monster parts who made a battalion of tanks that shot pillows out of nothing with a bunch of lights that came from The Book and turned into weapons, and are now ponies, and that's what you find unbelievable?" Numbuh 1 sighed, "I suppose you have a point." Numbuh 5 grinned in satisfaction before turning to look at the princesses, "I wonder." "Wonder what?" asked Numbuh 1. "If those two are so good with magic, maybe they know how to get us back home!" Numbuh 1 grinned, "Excellent work Numbuh 5, let's question these princesses and get them to send us home." Numbuhs 1 and 5 walked over to the princesses, Numbuh 4 was currently on his 5th slice of cake, who were currently talking to Twilight. "Honestly, when the Elements did nothing, I could have sworn my heart stopped," Twilight said, "if it wasn't for those Element of Victory foals, I honestly don't know what would have happened." "Yes, it always pays to have a backup plan, isn't that right dear sister?" Luna asked, looking like the cat that swallowed the canary. Celestia sighed, "Yes Luna, your summoning spell saved the day, when are you ever going to let us forget that?" "Hmm, remind me sister, how long do alicorns live again?" As Celestia groaned, Numbuh 1 interjected, "Pardon me, but if I understand correctly, are you the one who called us here?" "That I am," Luna said before dipping into a deep bow, "on behalf of my entire kingdom, thank you." "No problem, you actually saved us from a bit of a bad spot, so consider it just repaying the favor," Numbuh 5 said. "While I agree that we were more than happy to help deal with this Discord fellow, we're needed back home as soon as possible," Numbuh 1 said. "Er, are you sure you don't want to stay for the party?" Luna asked, somewhat evasively. "I suppose it would be rude to leave in the middle of this lovely party, but right after we need to get home." "Well, um, you see the thing is," Luna blushed, "I don't know how to send you back." Numbuh 5 stuck her hoof in her ear to clean it out, "Would you mind repeating that? Numbuh 5 didn't quite catch that." "Well, you see, the thing is, I got the spell to summon you from a book, and the book didn't, exactly, have a reverse spell." Numbuh 1's eye twitched as Numbuh 5 covered her ears, knowing what was about to happen. End Transmission "WHAT!?"
Operation: P.H.A.L.E. Part 1Author's Note Phoning Home Accidentally Lures Enemies Operation: P.H.A.L.E. Part 1 Numbuh 5, Princess Luna and Twilight were currently tinkering with the communications systems. While sending them back was currently impossible, the primary stumbling blocks being the massive power requirements and the need to pinpoint exactly where their home was, opening communications required much less energy and would help them with the targeting. "Are we ready Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 1 asked. "Just about," she replied, "just need to power it up and we're good to go." "Excellent," Numbuh 1 said before bringing a walkie talkie to his face, "Numbuh 3, bring generators to full." "Okay!" Down in the reactor room, Numbuh 3 pulled a lever, causing mechanical arms to hold out carrots in front of the hamsters running in the wheels that powered the base, causing them to run even faster, generating ludicrous amounts of power. Numbuh 5 watched a gauge, once it showed that there was enough power, she shot a thumbs up at Numbuh 1, then chuckled as she remembered she now had hooves. Numbuh 1 spoke into the microphone, "Numbuh 1 calling Kids Next Door Central Command, come in Central Command." Out of the speaker came a crackle of static, but soon enough words could be heard, "--------- is Numbuh 362 -------------------- please repeat." As the others cheered, Numbuh 1 simply grinned and leaned back to the microphone, "Repeat, this is Numbuh 1 calling Kids Next Door Central Command." "Numbuh 1? -------- glad to hear from you. Wha------our status?" "We are currently in another plane of reality. We were summoned via magic to assist with a being of immense power. I am happy to report that we were successful and are currently working on a way back." "Magic? Well, considering what else you've been up to it----uch of a stretch. We're working on a way tho bring---------------our end, so hang tight." "Understood, Numbuh 1 out." Numbuh 1 flipped the off switch on the radio, but it remained on. He flipped it a few more times, but the dial only glowed brighter. "Numbuh 3, shut down the reactor." "I can't," she replied as she tied bandages on several hamsters who had been launched to the ground, "the wheels started spinning on there own, and I can't stop them." Before Numbuh 1 could issue another order, everything went dark for a minute before booting back up. A flashing light on one of the consoles grabbed his attention, "Hmm, looks like a surge of Trans-Dimesionarialisim energy." At the same time, Luna received a message from her sister, "It appears that a strange structure has appeared on the peak of Mount Canter, it might be from your home dimension." Numbuh 2 descended down the stairs, "Hey, I managed to fix the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R." "Excellent timing Numbuh 2, prepare it for immediate departure, we have a lead to investigate." From out of the treehouse's main hanger emerged a massive flying craft that resembled a navy cruiser with a pair of space shuttles on the side and an angry looking face on the front. Kids Next Door: K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. Kuite Obnoxiously Large Oversized Super Ship Allows Landing In Nefarious Enemy Region On board were Sector V, along with Princess Luna who insisted on coming along, saying that she was worried about her sister. However, based on the fact that she was examining every part of the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R.'s cockpit, it was apparent that she had ulterior motives. "We'll arrive in 10 minutes," said Numbuh 2 from the pilot's seat. "Excellent," replied Numbuh 1, before a tapping sound got his attention, "I thought you said you fixed this thing?" "Hey, that's not the engine, that's cargo locker 3," Numbuh 2 replied indignantly. "You can tell?" asked Luna. "Yup, just like... magic," Numbuh 2 said before chuckling to himself, as everyone else groaned. "Even in another dimension your jokes stink," complained Numbuh 5. "Ugh, would you mind finding out what that tapping is Numbuh 5?" said Numbuh 1. "No problem," she replied as she left her seat. Walking to the locker, she decided to get some practice in and opened it with her magic. Once it opened, a bouncy ball hit her on the forehead. "Oops, sorry 'bout that," said Scootaloo, who had been hiding in the locker with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Numbuh 1 facehooved, "And what are you three doing here?" "Cause we wanna be like you guys!" said Scootaloo, "you guys are kids, but you took down Discord, that's awesome." They all took a deep breath before shouting, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS KIDS NEXT DOOR OPERATIVES YAY!!!!!!!" Everyone gathered was disoriented by the shout, causing the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. to dip slightly before Numbuh 2 could recover. "We were unaware that foals could learn the Royal Canterlot Voice," Luna said before shaking her head. "We're gonna have to take them back," said Numbuh 1. "Too late for that," said Numbuh 2, "we're coming up on Mount Canter." Numbuh 1 looked to see that they have arrived, and saw what triggered the alert. It was a large structure that looked like an elephant, and was surrounded by what looked like guardsponies made of ice. "Oooh, somebody's really good at ice sculpting," said Numbuh 3. "Those are no sculptures," said Luna. Numbuh 1's eyes widened behind his glasses as her words sunk in. At the same moment, the trunk of the elephant pointed at the K.O.L.O.S.S.A.L.I.N.E.R. before firing a beam of blue-white energy, causing it to be encased in ice and fall to the ground. From within the structure, an absurdly fat earth pony with an orange mane and goatee, who for some strange reason had elephant feet and ears, watched from a monitor. "And now all shall know the fate of anyone who dares approach the secret laboratory of... Professor XXXL!" Transmission Interrupted
