Rated t for the situations that may come up in the future.
Disclaimer: I do not own kim possible, which is all propriety of Disney channel… yadda… yadda... yadda…C'mon, you're not interested in that part.
First fan fic I've ever written, so read, review or just give me the facts.
It takes place after the episode "A very possible Christmas."
Chapter 1
"Pick up."
Latvian airspace.
Monday after Christmas.
It was a dark, gloomy day over the countryside of Riga. The sky was a mass of grey over grey that let a soft, silvery light over the fields of the Latvian capital. Still, the weather was no excuse for team possible to put down a stitch.
"So… how long until we get there?" asked Ron nervously.
"Just a few more minutes… You may wanna get you parachute on" said Kim over the roar of the plane's engine.
He put the bulky backpack on, feeling his stomach was about to run away from his body.
"Thanks for the ride all the way here Kaspar." she shouted towards the cargo plane's cabin. "Sorry if we made you work during holidays or something"
"The least I can do for you Kim Possible. I don't know what would've happened to me if you hadn't come to rescue me after my plane crashed in the Swiss Alps" The pilot said grateful.
"It was no big. Anyone could've slid an airplane through hundreds of meters of ice-slippery slopes"
He went on. "Ok here we are. Get a hold of the trapdoor and wait until I count to three"
Kim grabbed a handle on the floor of the plane.
"Wait…"Ron wondered "Did he say ´trapdoor´? I don't see any…"
"Ron!" Before he could finish, Kim grabbed him by the shoulder and pushed him down.
"Three!"
The floor of the airplane flung open and both teens were sucked out at full speed. The back edge of the trapdoor missed Ron's head for a few inches.
After a few minutes of free falling, and Ron screaming at the top of his lungs, they found themselves next to a country road; picking up their parachutes and waiting for the Global Justice team to take them to the city.
"Hmm…" Ron was staring at the cloudy sky "Don't tell me this is the best weather we're getting for this stitch."
"Hey, you're the one that wanted to get out of town for a few days" pointed Kim. "I'm Sorry Drakken isn't brainwashing elders on Florida this Christmas" She said playfully.
"Yeah, but why can't there be another shark plague in Cabo like two years ago? the sun, the girls, the bikinis, the five lobsters for only about 20 bucks".
"Don't forget almost getting eaten alive by giant fish" she reminded "And me pulling pointy teeth out of your leg on the ambulance halfway to the hospital".
"Yeah well… there are no perfect vacations."
Hard to believe he still signs up for these kinds of things after all that's happened to us. She thought while looking at him. It's rare when we don't come out clean of a stitch but it has happened. Most people would back away after a broken arm or getting a leg bitten by a shark but he still manages to gather the guts to come along with me.
"What? Is there something on my face?" he asked puzzled. She didn't notice her stare was still on the same place.
"No… Nothing" she turned away, still smiling.
They waited a few more minutes until he spoke again.
"So why are we here in the first place?"
"I told you like three times during the flight!"
"It was a long flight, and very exhausting too"
"Ugh… We're here to find a stolen device from the military." She explained frustrated. "Looks like someone stole one of those highly-valuable-highly-dangerous dispositives and it's going to be auctioned to the best bidder."
"Who, I suppose, won't have the best of intentions with it."
"Not even the slightest. And our job is to pretty much get back the dispositive before the auction, avoid it falls on the hands of any evil genius with nefarious purposes and save the day before the week's over. " concluded Kim.
"Just our usual winter break vacation"
"What's usual for us at least."
"Well… not so usual without Rufus" He complained. Kim put a hand on his shoulder
"Ron, sorry he couldn't come with us" she apologized. "But the country has a very clear policy on no introducing foreign animals." Still, her friend didn't seem to cheer up.
"Tell you what. When we get back home I'll take you both to Bueno Nacho. Anything you two want, grande sized. The meal's on me." With that offering, Ron's face lit up again.
"You know me and Rufus all too well Kim."
"Years of experience. Just try not to eat all my savings on a single night Ok?"
"No promises."
She took his word seriously. Bueno Nacho wasn't to fool around when it comes down to Ron Stoppable.
"And what are we waiting for? We should be getting a ride or at least start walking to the city" he said.
"Well… the guys from GJ told me they'd be ready to pick us up whenever we landed" she glanced at both sides of the road. In front of them there was a wooden pen where a few sheep ate pasture. The road went all the way down before leading into a big mass of water with a few buildings in the shore.
"Where are they?" Impatience was starting to show on her face.
"Too bad we can't call wade to know where they are" said Ron.
"We told him to wait for the new Everlot expansion to come out officially but no, he had to sneak into the company's system and give it a try."
"How do you think he's doing in his audience?"
"I'm sure he'll be fine. Maybe he'll just get banned from Everlot games for life. Those things happen when you break a company's security System." If I'll know that. How many times have I dressed formally for one of the twin's audiences?
Kim glanced towards both sides of the road, then frowned. Still no sign of Global Justice.
"Hey KP. Why do we always have to get off the plane in parachutes? Can't we use the airport like normal people?" he said to get some stress off her.
She turned to him with a grin and a raised eyebrow. "Because where would the fun be? Are you getting bored of all the skydiving, the sneaking in evil lairs and fighting off evil guys? "
"Of course not, Kim. Trying not to get killed while we save the world is the diablo sauce in the taco of my life."
They both started to laugh when a white van came out of nowhere and stopped right next to them. A set of invisible hands pulled them inside, the doors shut and the van drove off.
"OK, back off!" threatened Ron as soon as he was pulled in the pitch-black inside "I have the power of a thousand angry monkeys and you don't wanna mess…!"
A hand dropped on his shoulder. When he turned to see who it was and he found Kim's face being lighted up by a blue screen somewhere inside the van.
"It's okay Ron" she said softly "they're with Global Justice"
"Sorry if we scared you" Apologized a man with a thick European accent. "And please excuse our delay. We had some troubles with the car on the way here"
A few more plasma screens turned on the sides and back of the van. Now they could see the man in front of them: Black hair, mid twenties, a face with black glasses and sharp features. Two other GJ operatives were behind them; another male in his thirties with blonde ashy hair and growing a beard. The last person was a woman around her twenties as well, with brown reddish long hair tied up behind her head on a ponytail. All of them suited in the deep blue uniforms of the organization.
"Agent Doletskaya I suppose?" asked Kim.
"Correct. And these are agents Dace and Andris" he said pointing the female and male respectively.
After exchanging formalities, a keyboard-like object with a small screen in one of its corners appeared in the plasma behind him.
"As you know, a very valuable object was stolen from the U.S. Military in the past months" he stepped aside so they could see the screen. "The Missile-Hacker prototype…"
"And what does it do?" interrupted Ron. They all looked at him, given its name; the device's purpose seemed pretty obvious.
"It's supposed to hack into missiles to detour their trajectory" answered Kim without any malice. After all, the details of the mission were usually forwarded to her. After a few seconds she saw Ron realizing how dumb the question had been.
"That was before this man stole it" said Dace pointing at the next picture in the screen. It was an old, yet long haired man with black glasses and a long forehead. "Dr. Sergei Kretzer; computer programming genius and world-renowned software engineer."
"Why are so many eastern European bad guys are named Sergei" Pointed out Ron. The three agents gave him a sharp look "sorry." He excused.
"As I was saying, we still don't know how Dr. Kretzer managed to steal it when it was being transported for the final programming details in Sweden but what we do know" she paused a little before the screen changed again. "Is that he did some modifications of his own"
The screen was now showing a website called ´Top villain equipment. Org.' The current post gave details about an auction for a missile-reprogramming device.
"You know, for guys that call themselves 'geniuses' they are not very clever when trying to find costumers" complained Kim, used to see this things happening.
"Don't underestimate Kretzer" Andris added. "Hacking the password for the site took us about three days."
Wade could've done it three minutes. Kimthought with a faint smile.
"The exact date and place of the auction is still unknown, but we've tracked the device to the Sule building, close to the touristic area of the city" Dolestkaya said. "Tonight you are to infiltrate the building, retrieve the device, and return it to GJ as soon as possible. We'll shut the building's defenses tonight at 1 A.M. and we'll try to have then down as long as we can but please be quick. The ideal is to get back the MH prototype before the Auction date is revealed."
"No prob. You'll have that prototype served for breakfast tomorrow morning" said Kim in very confident tone.
"Very well" Andris got up from the floor and handed both teens a couple of short and head-sized rings made of silvery metal with a few buttons at front "here, you guys want to try these."
"The latest fashion in Riga?" Kim kidded.
"Not quite. It'll help you guys to speak the local slang for the mission and we don't have time for the intensive course. So we're going to use these Super Brain Translators…"
"That's not their real name" interrupted Dace; he gave her a sour look and went on.
"...to get all the Latvian talk inside your heads" He helped them to set the rings in the right mode. When they were done they put the rings around their heads, ready to start the translating process.
"Ok now just press the "play" button" once they pressed the button, the rings started to make a beeping sound that increased exponentially.
"Wait, is this going to hurt?" Ron said.
"Just the first 20 minutes"
Beepeepeepeep… kzzt!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Author's Notes: At first this was supposed to be one really long chapter but I think it could've turned out too intimidating, so I broke it down in two. Meaning the next chapter is ready and will be uploaded as soon an I have chapter 3 worked out the draft.
Any advice on writing KP fanfics is welcome. You know... novice writer.
I have never been to Latvia, so the statements made about the country in this fic should not be taken as serious or truthful.
