Prologue

I.

"SHEGO! SHEGO! What is the status of Kim Possible's where-a bouts! Shouldn't she have arrived by now?" Drakken balled his fists to his side ranting. "I want to see her CRUSHED!"

"We're tracking her along the main state route Doctor D! She's approaching fast. ETA is sixteen minutes!" Shego shouted back standing over his slaved henchmen at their stations.

Kim Possible had already caught on to Drakken's plan and destroyed the first relay station; effectively shutting down Diablo's in the Middleton area. With his plan to eliminate the young heroine early on foiled, he had prepared a surprise for her at his headquarters. Now was just a waiting game.

"Is everything in place for her arrival?" Drakken asked.

"I just need to wait for her at the entrance. With the Diablo's ruling the skies and the ground, she can't jump in or sneak in. She has to come through the front door, where I'll be waiting…" Shego trailed off grinning snidely from ear to ear.

"No, call off the Diablo's from this area and put them on alert. I want her to think she has the advantage. Lure her into a false sense of security… then we'll have her cornered when she least expects it."

Shego was shocked but pleased by the Doc's cunning. He had really changed since going into that mysterious cave in the depths of the Congo. He had become confident and ever elusive to the authorities and his arch-nemesis. He was now always two steps ahead and the endgame was approaching its zenith.

"Doctor Drakken! You have an incoming transmission. Source unknown... we can't identify the source..?"

The Doctor hung his head taking a deep sigh confusing his longtime sidekick. He slowly paced back and forth at the top of the room before exiting. "Make sure you're ready for Kim Possible's arrival. I'll return by the time you should have captured her."

Shego placed her hands on her hips, debating in her mind what was on the bad Doctor's mind.


II.

The knob turned and the door to a dark room creaked open. Drakken's shadowed figure stepped through the entrance. Closing the door behind him a circle of dim lights slowly illuminated the room.

He closed the door slowly locking it behind him. In front, a table sized platform jutted from the floor, the rim pulsating a dim blue color. 'They' were contacting him again and he needed to answer, lest his power be stripped from under him. He opened the channel, a blue hologram of a cloaked figure in front of him appearing.

"Doctor Drakken…" the grave voice echoed through the dark room. The only visible feature was the figure's lower face.

"Yes my lord. Um… everything is going as you have planned. Stealing the Hephaestus project from Dr. Possible was the greatest idea-"

"DOCTOR DRAKKEN!" The ominous figured growled. "The Hephaestus project was not to be activated nor was it your duty to do so. You were supposed to capture Ron Stoppable and I gave you the means to distract Kim Possible. Why did you activate the project?"

"Well you see sir… I… uh, used the activation of the Diablos to draw them in. The distraction wasn't working because the sidekick was always suspicious in the first place."

"You needed only wait for the opportune moment and seize upon it. Obviously patience isn't your virtue Doctor and seems harder to come by today." Doctor Drakken's small clenched hands began to shake with rage. He had never been put as a number two before. "Kill the boy and use the project to destroy key pieces of-"

"Or… or since you foolishly gave me the tools to take over the world. I can make Kim Possible and her doofy sidekick watch as I crush and enslave the world for myself!" Drakken cackled with a giant grin.

The figure scowled at Drakken. "You will regret this Doctor. I promise you."

The transmission cut out and the lights slowly lit the room back up. Drakken shook his head and straightened the bright blue business suit he had on. He turned around. "I must remind myself to proceed with caution when dealing with the devil. I'll make Shego note that down."
