//------------------------------// // Operation: P.H.A.L.E. Part 1 // Story: Codename: Foals Next Door // by cyberlord4444 //------------------------------// 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
