Part 1: Station Square Park
Rory: [standing next to a park bench] Ah. It's such a nice day out.

Tony: Hi Rory!

Rory: Hey. What's up?

Tony: I just got us tickets to "Pokemon the Movie," we each get to take one extra friend!!! I'm taking Flare!

Flare: Really? Thanks!

Rory: Pokemon has a The Movie? Seriously..?

Flare: So what? Pokemon is cool.

Tony: who are you taking Rory?

Rory: I don't like Pokemon. And besides, I don't have tickets.

Klinx: Hello, I couldn't help over hearing, but does someone need tickets?

Rory: No. Nobody needs tickets.

Flare: Like I said before, the movie is starting in a half hour!

Rory: You never said that, you know.

Tony: LET ME TALK!!!!

Flare: Geez, ok. Sheesh!

Tony: I'll take Anthony with one of my 2 extra tickets.

Flare: Oh no! It's starting in 3 minutes!

Rory: Three minutes? Legit? You just said it was thirty minutes a few seconds ago!

Metal Flare: YOU WILL PERISH!

Flare: Uh, Rory? I don't think we'll be going to a movie after all.

Rory: ...What is that...?

A cat named Aurora was walking around...

Rory: Is it really safe here with a robot version of ths guy walking around threatening people? *points to Flare*

Flare: Of course not! Anyway, alright scrap head! Let's dance!

Klinx: *had already started to back away from the whole situation*

Aurora: ..What?

Flare: Tony and Rory! Go find Sonic and Tails! Quick!

Rory: Why would I know where they are?

Flare: It doesn't matter! Just find them!

Flare: Everyone else...consider this a good idea...RUN!!!

Rory: -_- How about I do this. *takes out a shrink ray and shrinks Metal Flare*

Flare: But he still has my powers! He could still burn up this whole city!

Rory: *gets out a paxiglass jar and stuffs Metal Flare inside* Paxiglass minimizes powers.

Flare: Well this is great, the movie started!

Aurora: What Movie..?

Rory: They wanted to see "Pokemon the Movie" which they said was starting in 30 minutes, but it's only been two!

Tony: I have water powers.

Klinx: Err. Good for you.

Flare: Yeah...good for you.

Tony: which means I can stop Metal Flare

Rory: He's already in the jar. Done deal.

Flare: Hey a chaos emerald! But...it's black, red, and white. well, Emeralds are Emeralds! *absorbs*

Klinx: *blinks* Well, that's nice. Now I'd best be going. *starts backing away again but backs into something. He looks up to see Macro standing over him*

Macro: Uh, hey Klinx who are these people?

Dark Flare: ...ha...ha..HAHAHAHA!!! You will all be eliminated!!

Klinx: I'm not entirely sure... *whispers* But they are a bit strange...

Macro: *steps back when he sees Flare* Is that guy ok?

Rory: I don't know. This is so weird.

Flare: Yes...I'm fine, but you won't be! *attacks Marco*

Macro: AAH! Get if off! *starts kicking, trying to keep Flare away from him*

Rory: Don't make me shrink-ray you too.

DF: *Puts Marco in a death grip*

Macro: Erk! Make him.. stop!

Klinx: *steps behind Rory* I-I believe it may be preferred if you handle this.

Rory: I second that. *points shrink ray at Dark Flare*

DF: Think of what will happen to Macro here.

Rory: It only shrinks the tissues and membrane and bones and stuff from one body. Touching something changes nothing. *shoots Dark Flare*

DF: *has no effect* *right about to kill Macro, but passes out and returns to normal before doing so*

Rory: 0.0 That was... strange.

Flare: *Doesn't wake up but heart is still beating.*

Klinx: I'll say...

Macro: *breathing heavily, picks Flare up off of himself*

Rory: You okay, man?

Macro: I-I think so. But I don't get why he attacked me.

D.W.: *runs up to them* Anybody seen a monster that looks like it's made of tar?

Flares status: (to your right)

Rory: Uh... no. How can a monster look like it's made of tar?

Flare: *Wakes up* D...Did you say "Tar Monster?" W-what happened to me? Hello? I said "What happened to me?"

Rory: You went dark and a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, why would there be a tar monster i- Monster: *roars and runs past them*

Flare: O_O'

Team Storm was walking down the path of the park.

Jess: So, what are we doing, again?

Burn: (Sighs) We're here to investigate the monster sightings. Apparantly it's made of Tar.

Sparky: I know it sounds fake, but you may never know.

D.W.: It just ran past us! You just missed it. I'll help you catch up to it, though!

Flare: *Whispers to Tony* This day just gets wierder and wierder.

Flare: Hey, uh guys? I'll catch up later. I just gotta think.

Jess: DUDE! Klinx and Macro! Sup?

Sparky: Did the monster look like it was made of Tar? Any other features we should know about?

Klinx: Ah, hello Jess, Sparky, and Burn.

Macro: Hey guys!

D.W.: I took a picture of it. It's in black and white, but... *shows picture of the tar monster*

Sparky: Yikes.

Burn: (sighs) I can take it down.

D.W.: Let's run after it then!

Team Storm: (shrugs and runs after the monster)

D.W.: Wait up! *follows them*

Monster: *stops running and roars*

Burn: (dashes up and breathes fire at the monster)

Monster: *roars and starts running again*

Sparky: (Dashes right up to the monster, grabbing it and not letting go)

Burn: (Fire punches the monster)

Monster: *manages to wiggle out, runs into the field, and jumps into a cardboard box*

Jess: The heck? A cardboard box? This is weird, even compared to me!

Rory: *runs to the box* What happened?

Jess: (runs to the box and yells into it) HELLO?!? Anyone in there?!

(Green liquid spits up into Jess's face and burns a bit)

Jess: (runs around in pain) OW!! Acid in my face!

Rory: What the heck is in there?

Sparky: (looks at Team Weasel in confusion)

Burn: Lets see. (Sticks his head into the box)

Flare: Hey guys! I'm back!

Rory: *looks in the box too* It looks like... a city!

Aurora: (Peeks in) ..???

D.W.: How can an entire city fit in such a small box?

Aurora: I dunno...

Flare: Wait what? A CITY?

Rory: Seems like fun, right? I wanna go in. Who's with me?

Klinx: Pardon...? *looks at the box*

Flare: I'm in! (The box)

Aurora: In..? (she's in)

D.W.: I guess I'm in, too.

Rory: Cool. Anybody else?

Macro: I guess we don't have anything to lose.

Rory: Alrighty. *jumps into the box*

D.W.: *follows Rory*

Aurora: (Jumps in)

Klinx: *goes in the box*

Macro: *somehow manages to squeeze in after them*

Part 2: Portal to Genius Grove
Rory: *gets up* It's like a whole nother universe in here! *turns around* That house looks condemned....

Aurora: W-whoa...

Team Storm: (Falls into the box and lands on their heads) OW!

Flare: And the fact that it's look likes another universe is the thing that appeals to you? I'm concerned of how we got so small.

Aurora: meh..

D.W: But that's the thing. We're the exact same size! Look at the box! *points to the box way too high for any of them to reach* Super high, but it doesn't look any bigger.

Burn: (sarcasticly) Hurrah. We get to have some more interdimensional adventures, guys.

Sparky: Pretty weird, especially considering we went through some very crazy things ourselves.

Jess: You said it.

Aurora: Yup..

Rory: *turns back around* Hey, guys, there are some people over there!

Aurora: Like who?

Rory: I don't know. Let's go talk to them. They probably know about that box.

Burn: (runs over to people) Excuse me. Where am I, exactly?

(They turn around and it turns out they're Professor Utonium, Numbuh 5, and Dee Dee)

Professor Utonium: Why, you're in Genius Grove!

Dee Dee: You guys don't look like you're from here.

Klinx: No, we're not as a matter of fact. We ended up here somewhat accidentallly.

Burn: Genius Grove, huh? What a weird name for a place like this.

An unidentified red, yellow, and orange hedgehog showed up. "It's just a name..." He said with a monotonous tone.

Numbuh 5: I think it was just named that because this is where Dexter's house is and also one of the entrances to Dexlabs.

Jess: (scratches his rear end as he's confused)

Sparky: Humans. I didn't expect any. And what Burn meant was what dimension are we in?

Dee Dee: You guys are from a different dimension? Are you ALIENS?

Utonium: No, Dee Dee. Looking at my dimensions map, I think we're in number 416. And judging by how you look, you probably came from 37, correct?

Sparky: If you mean Mobius Prime, yes.

Numbuh 5: Well however you got here, portals to this place don't open back up for at least 3 days.

Dee Dee: While you're here, I think you might as well help us all out with something.

Jess: Do we get paid?

Burn: (slaps Jess) You idiot! These are people we don't know and that is what you ask them?!?

Jess: Sorry. It's just that the Tar Monster, and we were hired, so...

Burn: (sighs) I gotta control my temper.

Sparky: What do you need? Those two and I are Team Storm: heroes for hire.

Numbuh 5: Tar Monster? One of those got to you? This is worse than I thought.

Dee Dee: My brother can probably explian it better. He's in his "laboratory" and he won't let me "in" until "further notice."

Utonium: There's a manhole entrance to the lab in the backyard.

Burn: (ignores Utonium and goes to Dexter's house, and knocks on the door) Open up!

Numbuh 5: Nobody's gonna answer.

Burn: (turns to Numbuh 5) Can it, kid! I was a prince of an entire dimension, and I'm sure I can gain entry of this thing! (breathes fire on the door)

Dee Dee: Hey! You put the door on fire!

Utonium: What are you doing?

Numbuh 5: Guys, Numbuh 5 thinks he's one of the bad guys.

Burn: (kicks down the door, putting out the fire) Alright, who's in here, where am I, and why are these people looking at me like I burned a house down?!?

Sparky: I'll answer your third question: YOU BURNED DOWN A DOOR!!!!!

Jess: Geez, Burn. Calm down.

Sparky: And due to your attack, I expect a security system to go off in a few seconds.

Numbuh 5: Dude, that house is deserted.

Utonium: But I know what you're trying to do! *presses a button and it traps Burn in a paxiglass cage*

Burn: Let me out this instant!!!

Sparky: He just has a temper! Just let him go!

Utonium: Now why in the world would I let go somebody who's working for the bad guy?

Jess: HE'S NOT A BAD GUY!

Numbuh 5: He's gotta be! You guys are obviously trying to break into Dexter's house and steal his secrets! We're not gonna let that happen!

Sparky: (to Burn) Nice job, ash-brains. You got us from heroes to accused convicts.

Burn: (Yells and screams loudly)

Jess: (to himself) We're SO dead.

Dee Dee: Is he gonna explode?

D.W.: Take cover!

Burn: (Screeches like a hawk and destroys the paxiglass with an explosion of fire) Dang! I'm not a bad guy! Now, tell me were one is so I can clobber it into submission.

Dee Dee: For once, there aren't any around here.

Numbuh 5: Just go into Dexlabs and talk to Dexter. He knows where they are.

Rory: Why can't he come out and see us?

Dee Dee: He won't come out of there.

Burn: Maybe we can convince him. Lead the way there.

Rapid ran up to everyone. "Sorry fr being so late. I hd a situation to take care of..."

D.W.: *looks at Rapid* Situation? What, were you watching Jersey Shore?

Rapid's eyes widened. "I...HATE...THAT...SHOW!" He yelled. "And anyway, who watches it. All I was doing was cleaning the blood I spilled."

Rory: ...Did you just say you spilled blood...?

Rapid nodded. "I have a part time job at the hospital for some extra cash. I had to use this machine to test blood and I knocked over a blood bag and it got everywhere so I had to clean it up." Rapid siad. He showed everyone the blood on his gloves, shirt, sshoes, and pants.

D.W.: Oh. You scared me for a moment! Well, let's go to the lab. Somebody better explain it when we get there. *walks to the backyard and opens the manhole*

Rapid followed.

(After everybody follows D.W. into the manhole)

Dee Dee looks around. Numbuh 5 and Professor Utonium are both preoccupied. She smiles and dances into a secret entrance she hid in the side of the house.

Part 3 - What's up in Dexlabs?
D.W. drops to the floor and lands on her feet. "Lucky rabbit feet, huh?" Rory drops right behind her and lands on his rear end. "Ow! Maybe I should take one of them."

Burn's mini-wings flapped as he accended down the manhole cavern. Jess floated down with him, Sparky holding on tight. Burn landed and looked around. "I hope this "Dexter" is as much of a genius as he's made out to be.", he said. Jess was whispering something to Sparky. "You sure that's going to be a good distraction?", Sparky asked. "I'm sure!", Jess said as he nodded.

Dexter is at some kind of master keyboard device, typing a lot of things. He currently hasn't noticed anybody enter his laboratory.

Jess saw some gadgets: some music instruments? Jess led the Team over and took up the synth board, drums, and electric guitar. "Let's give him a shock.", Jess whispered. Burn started drumming as the start of a remix of Hydrocity Zone from Sonic 3.

Dexter jumps harshly, as he is terrified from the random noise. "Dee Dee," he exclaims, "GET OUR OF MY LABORATORY!" He opens his eyes and sees that Dee Dee didn't cause the noise. "Who are yooouuuu?"

"Just some super heroes from another dimension; why do you ask?", Sparky said as he started his gituar riff. Jess started using his tails to operate the synth board.

Dexter's eyes widen. "Another dimeeeeeeension, you say?" Dexter begins to pace around the lab. "Tell me, how exxxxaaaactly did you get here?

Rapid looked around. He found a ray gun. "What does this d-" He shot it and a ray hit a test tube and chemicals got all over the floor. "Oops..."

"Well, a cardboard box, and stop stretching out your words. It's creepy!", Sparky answered as he continued his riff.

Rapid agreed. "Why do you do that?" He asked.

Dexter became enfuriated. "Wwwhy did you knock over me test tyyuuube?! I needed that!" he screamed. "GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!!!"

Sparky made an extremely loud sound from his guitar, causing Dexter to stop yelling.

Dexter jumped in mid air from schock. His eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he fell unconcious to the ground.

D.W. stared at him. "Uh... I think you broke him."

"How can you break someone?", Sparky said as he stopped playing and worringly examined Dexter.

"He's not broke," Rory assured them, "He just got his eardrums blown out by Sparky, over here."

Sparky poked Dexter's ears. "Hey. You okay there?", he whispered.

Dexter twitched a little, and stayed where he was.

A floating robot in the shape of an adult human woman started floating toward everybody. "Good job," she started, "He is 'out cold.' What were you trying to do?"

"Well, it was Jess' idea!", Sparky blurted. Jess lunged on top of Sparky, and Burn lunged at Jess, causing a chaotic Three-Stooges-styled group fight.

"Yeah," Rory explained, "We don't know what's wrong with them."

D.W. steps in. "We were trying to talk to Dexter and ask him how some cardboard box got us here. But they got the bright idea to play the loudest guitar note and KO him."

Sparky, Burn, and Jess stopped at once. "EVERYONE SHUT UP AND FOCUS!", they yelled at eachother.

Everybody looked at the three of them, very annoyed.

Burn and Sparky glared at Jess. Jess coughed and cleared his throat. "You see," he began in a sophisticated voice, "I mearly wanted to have a bit of fun and entertain your friend. However, Sparky's gituar playing went off key so he could get Dexter to stop yelling like crazy. We mean no harm whatsoever."

She robot woman answered, "You must not be from here. It is well known all around the land that Dexter's eardrums are extremely sensitive. I am called Computress. Remind me, what information were you looking for in his laboratory?"

"We are a hero group for hire: Team Storm. We are here to investigate the monster attacks and invasions. One monster, apparently made of tar, found it's way into our relm.", Burn said.

"You must be speaking of the Talon Titan," Computress explained. "He comes from a canyon deep in The Wilds. I do not know how he got to your world, but he probably used a portal. If he did, that would be very bad, because that would mean that there are more portals around this land to your world."

"Oh yay. We have to find more cardboard boxes around this place?", Burn asked.

"Actually," Computress continued, "No two portals in this dimension look alike. There are many different things the portals could look like." A piece of white paper with writing on it came out of her mouth. She took it in her hand. "I have printed out a paper of what all of the portals may look like to you."

D.W. took the paper from Computress and read it aloud. "'Brown Paper bag, gray trash can, yellow sombrero, green headdress, red dictionary, black suitcase, purple wardrobe, blue dresser, and a giant pumpkin?' This is a really random list of things. They're all portals somewhere?"

Computress printed out another piece of paper, this one being orange. She took it and handed it to Jess. "Yes. That orange paper is a list of places that the portals will most likely be."

"Random things causing random stuff to happen? Sign me up!", Jess said. "Do we get paid?", he asked before Burn bonked him on the head.

"No," Computress began, "but think of it this way. If you do not do this, nobody else will. And if nobody else does this, your dimension will be infested with monsters of even worse sorts."

"Alright then. THEN do we get paid?", Jess asked as Burn bonked him a second time.

"Why would I pay you for saving yourselves? We are perfectly fine with give you our monsters. That makes less for us to have to handle," Computess responded.

"We're also saving YOU, so-", Jess began before Sparky signaled him to shut up.

"So," Computress continued, "the first thing you should probably start looking for is the brown paper bag. It's hidden somewhere in an area close to here called Sector V." Computress printed out yet another paper, but much larger and handed it to Rory.

"Is this a map to Sector V?" Rory asked.

"That is a map of this entire area. The green light on it shows where you go to next. It updates every time you find one," Computress explained.

Team Storm was off in a flash. Burn was holding the map, Sparky looked on the ground, and Jess took the air.

D.W. rolled her eyes. "Thanks for remembering to bring us and the other two papers!"

"WE'RE UNFOCUSED, OK?!", all three of them shouted at once. Burn nabbed the orange paper and examined it.

Glaring at the three of them, D.W. snatched the orange paper back from Burn and started walking towards Sector V. "Are you guys coming or what?"

The three sighed and followed the others.

Part 4: Sector V
[After arrival at Sector V]

Rory began staring at the KND Treehouse. "Do you guys see that thing?" he asks. "It's like a giant floating treehouse!"

"How is this, I don't even.", Burn babbled in amazement.

"I have a feeling this isn't the weirdest thing we'll be seeing today," D.W. inferenced. She looked at the map, puzzled for a moment. Then she sighed. "Well, that's a shame. This thing only gives a general area of where it could be. And it looks like it's somewhere up on that treehouse thing."

The Team started running towards the treehouse and went into flying formation, flying up the platform the house was on.

Numbuh Two, Blossom, and Sherri Bird are all on the treehouse. Numbuh Two spots them. "Geez! Animals are just getting weirder and weirder!"

Blossom looks around. "And they're running all around the tree house. What the heck are they doing?"

Jess was hanging by his tail on a branch as Sparky and Burn climbed across the tree.

Sherri looked at the three of them, worried. "Be careful! Don't fall!"

"Do you mind telling us about this place?", Burn asked as he glided down to Sherri.

"Well, this is--" Sherri began. Numbuh Two interrupted her. "I'll take this one, Sherri." He walked over to Burn. "This is the headquarters of the Kids Next Door!"

"The what?", Burn asked in confusion.

"You don't know what the Kids Next Door is?!" Numbuh 2 exclaimed, clearly mortified about this.

Blossom tried to calm him down. "They're obviously not from around here, Numbuh Two." She turned to Burn. "The Kids Next Door is, like, and all kid thing. A bunch of kids get together with missions to stop evil adults."

"But now," Sherri continued, "There's monsters everywhere, so we have to stop those guys from taking over this place."

"Hello, Nurse!", Jess said as he looked at Blossom, accidentaly falling off his branch and landing on his head. "Forgive Jess. He says that whenever he meets someone *cough* attractive.", Sparky said as he jumped down from the tree. "An all kids agency? I'd like to know how that's even possible.", Burn said to Numbuh 2.

Blossom blushed, but also looked a little creeped out. "Well, we get a bunch of kids," Numbuh Two explained, "And we train them and stuff. We use weapons like gumballs and rubber bands and ice cream and stuff. And of course, my 2×4 technology. All the missions we go on are for the good of kids everywhere! Of course, though, you gotta leave the KND once you turn 13. Well, you did. But I'm still in it!"

"2x4 tech, huh?", Sparky asked. He thought and finally settled on a decision. "Is it alright if you can make us some weapons? Specificly, blades. Jess, show them the blueprints.", Sparky said. Then, Jess started going through his pockets, pulling out several papers and tricks of his, such as a Jack-in-the-Box with a punching glove inside it. He eventually pulled out the right papers: ones that detailed three Keyblade-like weapons that could use electricity, wind, and fire respectively. "Making weapons out of food and household items?", Burn asked in confusion.

"Hey, gumballs can poke an eye out," Numbuh Two defended. He took a look at the blueprints. "This is good... but I can do better!" He took the blueprints with him and walked into the room behind him. He then shut and locked the door."

"He won't be too long," Sherri explained. "He's a really fast worker."

"I just wonder what things adults can do to the kids in this Zone, to get them to be like villians.", Burn wondered.

"I think a lot of the stuff the KND does is a bit over the top," Blossom says.

"Like, a mission Numbuh Two had was to get soda to a birthday party for a little girl who wasn't allowed to have it," Sherri continued.

"I'm not willing to question the logic in my Zone, so why should I question the logic here?", Burn said.

Numbuh Two busted open the door with his foot. He had a box full of items in his hands. He was also dragging a large machine with him behind him. "Finished!" he exclaims.

"The Keyblades we gave you the blueprints for?! Man, that was fast! Even Tails would be jellous.", Sparky said in suprise.

"Yep! They're all done. And plus, I found some weird, glowing brown paper bag," Numbuh Two said while he was walking towards them. All of a sudden, he tripped over a stone on the treehouse, and everything in the box fell out onto the ground below. "Whoops."

"I got this.", Burn said gruffly as he glided down to the dropped items. "And it looks like we found another of those portal things.", Jess said as he grabbed the paper bag.

D.W. climed up to the treehouse at long last. "Finally!" D.W. exclaimed. "This thing is like, impossible to climb up!"

Just then, a large group big, robotic catepillar-looking monsters with wall plugs as heads grabbed the paper bag. They began to crawl away.

"Alright, Keyblade: work your magic!", Sparky said as he turned on the electricity in his blade and weilded it back-handed. Sparky proceded to slice one of the monsters in half with a large electric beam.

"Uh..." Dawn said, "what the heck did you do to that thing?"

"He just shot that Caterplug and cut it in half!" Blossom exclaimed. "And did you see the distance between them?"

The group of caterplugs chattered amongst themselves. Then, they combined themselves and turned into a Supercharged Caterplug!

"It's go time!", Burn said as he held his blade above his head. Jess was randomly shouting and yelling as he flew at the Caterplug. When he landed on it, Jess smacked his blade on the Caterplug's head repeatitly in a comidic fasion.

The Caterplug seemed to chuckle a bit, and flung Jess off of it.

D.W. jumped on its head and started kicking it, but the Caterplug did the same to her.

"I've got to help them!" Blossom exclaimed. "Come on, Blossom," Numbuh Two told her. "They'll do just fine. Besides; this is one of the best fights I've seen around here!"

"Make fun of me, huh?!", Jess said as he lept onto the Caterplug again. Burn shrouded himself in flames and crashed into the Caterplug's face.

The Caterplug fell on his back, wiggled around a little, then descintigrated into the ground.

"See?" Numbuh Two bragged. "I told you they could do it!"

"Thank you for creating these weapons.", Burn said to Numbuh 2.

"No problem!" Numbuh Two said.

"One more thing," Blossom said. "We know a lot of people in this world, and most of them will attack anything they don't see on a regular basis."

"And you guys aren't even from this world," Sherri continued. "Luckily, Numbuh Two made this machine."

"Yeah, and all I gotta do is shoot you with this 2×4 ray thingy," Numbuh Two said, "and you guys will look like humans to anybody who sees you."

"I've got my disguise covered.", Jess said as he glowed and changed into Len from Vocaloid, smiling with confidence. "Hit us.", Burn and Sparky said to Numbuh 2.

"Me too," Dawn said. Rory got to the top of the treehouse, panting heavily. He layed down at the edge. "Hit that guy too. He's with us."

Numbuh Two took the large machine and pressed a few buttons. "Brace yourselves," he said. Then, he pressed another button and and a bright light appeared. When it disappeared, Burn, Sparky, Dawn, and Rory were all humans. "All done! And the best part is you keep whatever abilities you had before!"

To Sparky's suprise, he looked very much like Roxas from Kingdom Hearts in terms of clothing. However, Sparky kept his trademark yellow, spiny hair. Coincidently, Burn looked much like Riku, also from Kingdom Hearts. Burn still kept his red hair, even if it was shorter and neater.

Dawn and Rory didn't look like anybody in particular. Just like this:

"Nice, huh?" Numbuh Two said.

"Let's go find those other portals.", Sparky said. "What's next on the list?", Burn asked.

Dawn looked at one of the papers. "It looks like the next place is a place called Peach Creek Commons."

"Lead the way.", Sparky said.

Part 5: Peach Creek
"Gosh," Dawn said, "it would have been easier to go straight here from the other place."

"Are you saying we're lost?", Burn asked.

"One would think so," Dawn said, "seeing as we're standing in front of a giant cardboard fortress with two giant planks of wood with faces in front of them." She looked back at the map. "But according to this map, it's somewhere in here. It doesn't even say if it's inside or not. So vague."

"Cardboard?", Sparky asked as Jess skipped over to the entrance of the fortress.

"Yeah," Dawn continued. "It's all cardboard boxes. Weird, huh?"

The doors seemed closed, so Jess gently knocked on them.

Somebody who seemed to be wearing a sock on his head peeked through the doors. "Are you evil?" he asked.

"If you consider being very popular across the world and having a gifted singing voice, as well as being an android of sorts-", Jess began, attempting to mimic Len, before Burn pushed him away. "No, we aren't. I assure you we mean absolutely no harm."

The person's head came from out of the doors. "It's open!" he told them.

"Unbelievable." Rory sighed.

Jess shrugged and the Team walked in. "Come on, before any monsters show up.", Burn said to Dawn and Rory.

The two of them walked in after the team.

"Welcome to the Ed's Fortress!" The person said. "My name is Edd, but please call me Double D.""

"Well, Double D, we are Team Storm, a hero group for hire. We are on a mission to stop these monster infestations and seach for objects that lead to another universe.", Burn said with his usual serious tone.

"They weren't hired," Dawn corrected. "They're not getting paid. Auburn and I just came 'cause it looked fun. So, what's with the cardboard boxes everywhere?"

"Eddy and I made this to keep the Kankers out!" Double D exclaimed. "They're quite horrifying! Wait-- did you say another universe?"

"Yes, and I said FOR hire, not THAT IS hired.", Burn said to Double D and Dawn.

Dawn stuck her tongue out at Burn.

"So, what brings you to Peach Creek Commons?" Double D asked.

"I just told you: we're here to seach for objects that lead to another universe and stop the monster infestations.", Burn replied gruffly.

"Oh, right," Double D said, emberassed. "I'm sorry; I'm a little on edge. I suppose my listening skills are suffering because of it. You know, I could help you with your search! It's always rewarding to help somebody on an adventure! Why, I--"

"You're bothering these people, sockhead," Eddy interrupted. "You gotta learn to stop talking so much! Hi, I'm Eddy."

"Hi?", Sparky said, confused. Jess was too busy picking his nose to even pay attention. "You were saying about helping us? In fact, are there any areas were a monster attack was recent?", Burn asked Edd.

"Actually, they happen all the time over--" Double D starts. Eddy interrupted him before he could finish. "You gotta pay us first, buddy."

"You're kidding, right?", Jess said as he picked his nose. Burn stared at Eddy in an intimidating fasion. "Show. Us. Where. A spot. Is!", Burn growled.

"You don't scare me, kid!" Eddy said back, rolling up his sleeves. Dawn facepalmed.

Burn's temper was getting hold, and Sparky and Jess backed away slowly. "One last chance, buddy.", Burn growled at Eddy.

"Just give me some cash," Eddy insisted, "and this could all be over. You don't want a piece of this!" Eddy appeared to be flexing, but there was no visible muscle.

Dawn and Rory also started to back away. Dawn then hid behind Jess.

"I've taken on demons. I'm sure I can handle the likes of you.", Burn smirked.

"Yeah?" Eddy said, obviously not believing him. "Well, I've taken on giant... uh... hamsters!"

"Cripes.", Burn said, agitated. "You going to show us a scene to investigate or are you going to act like a numbskull?"

"Numbskulls?!" Eddy exclaimed, steamed. He was about to punch Burn in the face, but Double D and Dawn held him back. "As I was saying," Double D continued, "There used to be a ton of attacks near the trailorville behind this sheild. However, most of them seemed to stop as soon as this gray, glowing trashcan appeared out of nowhere. Interesting, huh?"

Annoyed, Dawn pushed Eddy back and he fell on his butt. "Yeah, I don't need your money anyway." Eddy got up and walked toward the center of the fortress.

"Show us the trashcan. It's one of the portals we needed to find.", Burn said as Sparky glared at Eddy as he walked away.

"Are you crazy?" Double D exclaimed. "I'm not stepping one foot out of this fortress for a second!"

Meanwhile, outside the box, Espio and Clearsky were walking around, when they ran into the box.

"What the heck is this doing in the middle of nowhere?" Espio exclaimed.

"Who knows?", replied Clearsky, "Maybe it's an abandoned treasure!"

Clearsky tried to open it, but it didn't.

"Dang it!" said Clearsky, "I better try harder."

Back in the box, Sparky shook his head. "My pals and I are great fighters, and you should have seen us at the Treehouse.", he said. "We'll protect you, trust us.", Burn said to Double D.

Dohble D sighed. "I suppose there is no other way for you to find the portal that you need. I will go with you." Double D slouched and started walking toward the wooden doors.

"Rory, Dawn! Let's go!", Burn said as he walked with Double D. Sparky and Jess followed him.

Dawn folded her arms and walked with them. Rory followed them.

Double D walked out of the fortress, took a sharp right, and kept walking. Eventually, he stopped and flinched. "Eek! Where did all of these monsters come from?

"I don't know, but keep it down and stay out of sight.", Burn said as he hid behind a tree, examining the group of monsters.

Double D shreiked and hid behind Rory. "Those are the Hydro Hammers!" Be careful! Don't let them smush you!

"I think we'll be fine," Dawn said. "Rory, you better keep guarding Double D!"

"Shhhh.", Burn said as he hid inside the trees and leaves. Jess turned invisible and snuck inside the group of monsters. Sparky was ready to attack.

One of the Hydro Hammers turned around and "saw" Sparky. It immediately started running towards him with his hands ready to smash him. The others soon followed.

Burn and Jess began. Burn dropped from the tree and quietly grabbed a Hydro Hammer and destroyed it in a single slice of his blade. Jess changed into a Hydro Hammer and started attacking the other monsters to cause confusion. Sparky jumped on top of one of the monsters, pinning it down to the ground.
