Codename: Kids Next Door - Operation Z.E.R.O.

THERE IS A STORY SOME KIDS

TELL OF WHEN THE WORLD WAS RULED

BY AN EVIL ADULT... A STORY

ABOUT A BOY, A BOOK, AND A TREE.

WAIT FOR ME-E-E-E!

OHHHH!

C-O-O-OME BACK!

YOU CAN'T JUST RUN OFF IN THE

MIDDLE OF YOUR SHIFT!

PAPPY'S GONNA BE AWFULLY SORE!

OH, LET HIM, BEN.

WE'VE BEEN SLAVING AWAY, MAKING

TAPIOCA FOR HIM FOR "ELEVENTY"

HUNDRED DAYS STRAIGHT!

AND ALL HE DOES IS SNEER, LIKE

HE'S THE EVIL KING OF THE WORLD

OR SOMETHING.

HE IS THE EVIL KING OF THE

WORLD!

WELL, I'M SICK OF IT!

I JUST WISH WE COULD... I DON'T

KNOW... FIGHT BACK OR SOMETHING!

WHOA!

CHECK IT OUT!

HEY!

WHERE YOU GOING?!

WHAT IS THIS PLA...

AAAHHHH!

WHAT'S THAT?

"THE BOOK OF... K.N.D."?

J-JUST PUT IT BACK AND LET'S

GO!

THIS PLACE IS CREEPING ME OUT.

BE QUIET, BEN.

I'M READING.

WELL, READ FASTER!

COOL!

THIS BOOK'S SOME KIND OF

INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR BATTLING

ADULT TYRANNY.

IT SHOWS HOW TO SET UP SECRET

TREE HOUSES AND EVERYTHING.

AND CHECK IT OUT.

THERE'S A SECTION FOR EACH KID

TO WRITE DOWN HIS OWN STORY.

WE ARE NOT GONNA HAVE A STORY

IF PAPPY FINDS US HERE!

DON'T YOU SEE, BEN?

NOW WE HAVE THE TOOLS TO FIGHT

BACK.

WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER

PLACE FOR US, FOR ALL KIDS.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF

CHANCE WE'D HAVE AGAINST PAPPY'S

POWERS?

ZERO!

BOYS, WHERE ARE YOU?!

SEE?!

BEN, TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS.

I KNOW WE CAN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

BOYS?!

SORRY.

SO, THAT'S IT?

YOU THINK THERE'S NO HOPE?

YOU THINK I HAVE ZERO CHANCE?!

WELL, I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THE

NUMBUH ZERO CAN DO.

YEAH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH!

WE'RE SAVED!

TO THINK MY OWN SON WOULD

REBEL AGAINST MY EVIL POWER!

I'M GIVING YOU JUST THREE

SECONDS TO GO TO YOUR ROOM...

OR ELSE!

3...

2...

1...

ZERO!

UH-OH.

SOME KIDS SAY NUMBUH ZERO'S

VICTORY THAT DAY WAS THE DAWN OF

THE SEVENTH AGE OF THE KIDS NEXT

DOOR.

OTHERS SAY THIS STORY IS ONLY

MAKE-BELIEVE.

THERE NEVER WAS A NUMBUH ZERO,

AND THERE IS NO "BOOK OF K.N.D."

BUT I BELIEVE THE BOOK EXISTS,

AND I KNOW WHAT I WILL WRITE IN

THOSE PAGES IF I EVER FIND IT.

FIVE WORDS ONLY... "I AM KIDS

NEXT DOOR."

NUMBUH 1!

HEY!

KIDS NEXT DOOR, BATTLE

STATIONS!

SPECIAL DELIVERY, COURTESY OF...

NUMBUH 1, SUPREME COMMANDER

OF KIDS NEXT DOOR SECTOR "V."

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LET ME SAY

MY NAME, NUMBUH 101.

SORRY!

I'M JUST SO EXCITED YOU MADE IT

IN TIME.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I

COULD HAVE HELD OUT.

DELICIOUS!

ICE CREAM?

YOU WASTED MY VALUABLE TIME JUST

TO GET YOU AN ICE-CREAM CONE?!

NUMBUH 86 SAID I COULD.

AH!

THE NEXT TIME YOU CALL, IT HAD

BETTER BE IMPORTANT!

AAH!

NOW WHERE WAS I?

AH, YES, WELCOME TO THE KIDS

NEXT DOOR SERIOUSLY COOL MUSEUM

OF ARTIFACTS AND STUFF.

STEP LIVELY, PEOPLE... LOTS TO

SEE.

HERE WE HAVE SOME OF OUR

EARLIEST 2x4 TECHNOLOGY, SO

PRIMITIVE, IN FACT, THAT IT

DOESN'T EVEN USE RUBBER BANDS OR

STYROFOAM CUPS.

EXCUSE ME, MR. 101, SIR, WHAT

IS THIS?

THAT, MY DEAR SONIA, IS THE

ONE AND ONLY RECOMMISSIONING

DEVICE SAID TO BE BUILT BY

NUMBUH ZERO HIMSELF.

IT COULD REAWAKEN ANYONE'S

MEMORIES, EVEN IF THEIR MINDS

HAVE BEEN WIPED CLEAN IN ONE OF

OUR DECOMMISSIONING CHAMBERS.

DOES IT WORK?

OH!

IF YOU KNEW YOUR KIDS NEXT

DOOR HISTORY, YOU'D BE AWARE

THAT IT WAS DAMAGED BEYOND

REPAIR IN THE GREAT JUNIOR-HIGH

REBELLION OF '99!

HONESTLY!

SORRY.

OH, NEVER MIND THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING

THAT'S COOL AND WORKS, FOLLOW

ME.

IT'S RIGHT THIS WAY, PAST THE

FOOD COURT AND GALLERY OF

SUPERVILLAINY.

OH, FOR PETE'S SAKE!

DON'T BE CHICKEN.

THEY'RE JUST STATUES SCULPTED

OUT OF NUMBUH 191's EAR WAX.

EW!

HERE WE ARE.

BEHOLD MY GREATEST INVENTION.

UH, THAT JUST LOOKS LIKE A

CALCULATOR.

FOOLS!

THIS IS A K.N.D.N.A. TRACER.

WITH JUST A TINY TRACE ELEMENT

OF DNA... AN OLD, CHEWED-UP GUM

WAD, SWEATY SOCK, OR A BOOGER...

IT CAN TRACK ANYTHING, EVEN THE

TRUE IDENTITY OF NUMBUH ZERO!

AND YES, IT'S ALSO A CALCULATOR.

OH, GIVE ME A BREAK!

NUMBUH ZERO'S A MYTH.

MY BIG SISTER SAID SO, AND SHE

SHOULD KNOW, 'CAUSE SHE'S

NUMBUH 362 AND ALL.

NUMBUH ZERO'S ABOUT AS REAL AS

THAT STATUE OF KNIGHTBRACE BACK

THERE.

I SMELL TOOTH DECAY!

NO NEED TO BE SCARED,

RIGHT, LEE?

IT'S ALL OF US AGAINST ONLY ONE

OF HIM.

WRONG, YOU BRATS!

MR. BOSS!

CRAZY, OLD CAT LADY!

MR. FIBB!

TOUR GROUP "F," BATTLE STATIONS!

CHARGE!

MY DIORAMA OF THE MISSING SECTOR

"Z."

I WORKED ALL WEEK ON THAT.
