Kingdom of the Cursed Mask

chapter 5

The KND Air H.O.P.P.U.H or 'Hopping Over Precisely Pinpoint Ultra High' piloted by Numbuh 2 was in the air after the heroes of the story got back on course with their mission/adventure.

"You're sailing this ship quite good, boy," K'Nuckles smiled in approval. "Back in my time, we used to sail seas. Those good 'ol days, we never missed an opportunity to a good adventure."

"It must've been very shocking for you when they banned piracy." Numbuh 2 replied.

K'Nuckles grew shocked. "Piracy is banned?"

"This is very good, Muttley," Dick smiled to his dog minion. "They'll do the dirty job for us, and when they find the mask, we'll outsmart them, and it will be finally mine."

Buttercup glanced to Dick and Muttley who just smiled to her innocently, she did not trust them since they were well-known villains. "Why are we taking them with us?" she then asked her genius sister.

"For practical reasons," Blossom explained. "The Illuminati is a dangerous foe, we don't need a bumbling duo to slow us down with their gawky schemes. If they're stuck with us, we can watch them. One less thing to deal with."

Meanwhile...

"Blossom!" Dexter came to the Utonium front door. "I got your message, I'm back from the camp." he then looked over in confusion to see a note on the door and read it.

'Dear Dexter,

I'm sorry I couldn't manage it to be here when you got home, but the situation is crucial. After the attack on our home, my family is in protection of the KND. I'd like you to go there too and take the Eds with you. I'm coming home as soon as possible.

Love, Blossom.'

At Megaville Elementary, Dexter came straight to the three Eds.

"Greetings, Eds," Dexter greeted. "I'm here on a very urgent case. You have to come with me."

Double D and Ed were ready to go, but Eddy was distracted.

"Eddy, aren't you joining us?" Double D prompted.

"Just a minute, Sockhead..." Eddy drooled at the Tamarian princess. "Hey, Star, I was wondering if, maybe, sometimes we could go out together, you know, to get to know each other better?"

"Thank you, Eddy, but I see a very little chance for that to happen." Starfire replied.

"She didn't say no," Eddy grinned eagerly. "That means she's totally into me!"

KND Treehouse, Sector V...

"Because I promised Blossom, you can stay here until her mission is over," Numbuh 1 replied, but sharply turned to the group in his treehouse. "This is temporary, so don't get too comfy. As soon as they find Paititi, everybody, go home."

Meanwhile...

"What does this button do?" Bubbles asked, curiously.

"That is--" Numbuh 2 was about to tell her.

"And this?"

"That's for--"

"How about those?" Bubbles asked about two buttons which looked extremely identical.

"This one activates the self-destruction and the other gives you lemonade." Numbuh 2 informed.

"Can I have a lemonade?" Bubbles asked.

"Sure thing, Bubbles." Numbuh 2 smiled before pushing a button.

'Self Destruct Sequence initiated.' the computer told him.
