Until it's gone
Chapter 1: Recruitment
Author: Hey everyone, this is my very, VERY first Kim Possible story and I have to say I am quite proud of how this one turned out. All Kim Possible characters, names, and Disney related content belongs solely to them and I only take credit for my original character, "The Red Dragon". I also want to dedicate this story to a very special and a VERY talented artist, Richard Sirois. He doesn't know me but I know his superb KP artwork and this story is based off an art drawing he did, I take no credit for the drawing of course. I just wanted to say thanks Richard for without that drawing, this story would not have happened. Thanks again, and enjoy the story!
"You don't know what you have until it's gone"
CLANG!
A door slams down under colossal force of the devastating explosion that had just ruined another perfectly good, take over the world scheme. A pouting, blue faced scientist was seen next to a black and green colored woman, both colored in black soot. The ruins of their once, lavishing, extravagant lair lay in desolated ruins thanks to their greatest archenemy.
"KIM POSSIBLE, DRAHHHH. I can't take it anymore" Drakken screamed.
"What, having Kimmy kins kicking your butt all the time or……no, I'm pretty sure it's just that" Shego said sarcastically.
The mad doctor growled and snarled, menacingly at his evil assistant.
"Yes, okay, HAPPY? I admit it. I'm never going to rule the world at this rate, and it's all thanks to HER, that talented, agile, high school, cheer leading, smart mouthed, little babe" Drakken groaned.
"Whoa, whoa, back the weird-mobile up a bit; did you just call her a babe?" Shego asked.
"Uh…….No" Drakken said.
"Did so" Shego snapped back.
"I did not"
"You SO did"
"Did not"
"Did so"
"DID NOT TIMES INFINITY" Drakken screamed as his blue face started to turn red a little.
The evil villains groaned and turned their backs to each other angrily. Both of them obviously fed up with Kim Possible continuingly ruining their plans for world domination. The wicked female Shego smirked to her blue boss.
"In any case, you're wasting your time doctor dorken. As long as Kim Possible is around, your blue behind is gonna turn black and blue every time you try to do something evil" Shego said.
The evil doctor was just about to respond to his assistant's snappy remark, but suddenly an idea was coming to mind. Drakken gasped loudly.
"Shego, I don't believe it. I'm having a" Drakken stuttered.
"A what?" Shego curiously asked.
"A headache with pictures" Drakken said.
"You mean an idea? I mean like a real idea this time?" Shego said shockingly.
"Yes, yes I am" Drakken said.
"Damn, that's pretty scary" Shego replied.
"I know, I mean me of all people I……SHEGO" Drakken replied, grinding his teeth.
The mad man shook his head clear of Shego's snaps and turned towards a large door in the back. The doctor opened it and pulled out a red telephone, he immediately started dialing.
"Okay so what's your sure-fire failure master plan this time?" Shego asked, groaning.
"Unlike your usual sarcastic jabs Shego, what you said actually bears meaning this time. Kim Possible is the problem, not me. As long as she is around, I'll never be able to conquer the world" Drakken explained.
"Uh-huh, so what's your point?" Shego said.
The doctor finished his call and grinned sinisterly, he turned his gleaming beady black eyes to Shego as he wickedly chuckled.
"My point is, what do you suppose would happen if we tried to take over the word, when Kim Possible is DEAD?" Drakken asked.
Meanwhile at Middleton High……
Kim smiled in her usual, cheery, smiling moods as she opened up her locker. A flashing computer monitor sprung to life with Wade's image, eagerly waiting to greet Kim.
"What's the sitch Wade?" Kim asked.
"No sitch this time, just wanted to say nice job on trashing Drakken's place last night" Wade happily replied.
"No biggie, not like it's anything new" Kim said, shrugging it off.
"Yeah I know but it was just so…….BOO YAH, ya know?" Ron shouted.
The blonde haired boy smiled, standing beside Kim and her locker.
"Thanks you guys, let's just hope Drakken takes it easy for a while, I'm all lair bashed out" Kim said.
"Well your site hasn't had any hits yet, so I'm pretty sure things will be cool for a little while" Wade said.
Kim nodded before shutting the locker and heading off to lunch, Ron still right beside her side.
"Yup, just another boring day after another thrilling night. Being a hero can sure drag things down sometime" Ron said proudly.
The cheerleader raised her eyebrows at Ron, smirking a bit at the whole "hero" thing.
"Yeah well, most heroes don't tell the bad guys were here before we break into their lair" Kim said.
"Hey, I told you I was overly anxious to kick some bad guy booty" Ron said, frowning.
"You screamed like a girl, and everyone within 500 miles could hear you wailing like a baby Mr. Hero" Kim said.
Ron shouted "I DID not scream like a girl, I prefer petrified, feminine squealing".
Kim groaned "Why did you wig out over such a tiny problem?".
"Impending death is a TINY problem?" Ron pleaded.
The girl crossed her arms and scowled "It was a SPIDER".
The young boy weakly pleaded "But that thing had TEETH man, were talking Jaws teeth here".
Nevertheless, the girl simply shrugged it off and smiled, Kim is used to Ron's behavior. As the two sat there and ate their lunch, Rufus jumped out of Ron's pocket and eagerly chomped on Ron's basket of French fries. The naked mole rat blinked as he saw a blank stare on his friend's face, one that Kim seemed to be unaware of. The boy was feeling terrible about the scream, Ron feels that perhaps it's more serious then he wants to admit.
That maybe the boy has been dead weight to Kim all along. His sad, brown eyes stared dismally at the table as the girl of his dreams was sitting there, eating.
"If she only knew" Ron thought to himself.
Ron's thoughts
Man, this is driving me nuts! KP and I have been best buds since we wore diapers and all this time I thought I was just feeling awkweird around her. But it's not, it's NOT, it's not awkweird I'm feeling……its love.
My best friend in the whole world, the girl I trust, I laugh with, I eat with, play with, do EVERYTHING with, and I can't even tell her how much she means to me. How every little thing she does makes my heart go schitzo.
How she wrinkles her nose when she giggles, how she leans forward when she's nervous or talking to a cute guy, how she says "please and thank you", GOD even how she EATS! I've gotta say something!
"Hey uh……KP?" Ron said.
The blonde boy gulped, watching nervously as Kim lifted her eyes to his, almost staring into his very soul, the one that aches for her.
"Yeah, what is it Ron?" Kim asked.
The slamming beat of Ron's agitated heart clanged louder and louder inside his trembling body, his body shivering all over.
Kim blinked "Ron are you okay? You're shaking, are you cold?".
Ron laughed "No, naw, no. Anyway KP, there's something that's been bugging me for a while and I'd rather quit eating nacos for the rest of my life then keep this in any longer".
The cheerleader blinked in surprise, he must be really serious about this.
"Yes?" Kim asked.
Ron gulped "Kim I……I……lo……lack skills as a quality sidekick".
Ron buried his face into his hands, groaning in utter humiliation at the fact he couldn't tell the truth.
"Ron, what are you talking about? You're a goofball 24/7 and you still help me save the world from Drakken all the time, it's no biggie" Kim said.
Ron protested "No, no, it's a VERY big biggie, I'm bad and NOT in the good way, or evil way, or any……UGH. Look the point is I really blew it for you last night KP, I goofed up. And I really just want to say……that I'm really sorry. I promise from now on, I'm not gonna be screaming, running around, dropping my pants and letting you do all the work.
Nothing goofy or bad whatsoever. Well maybe I'll let the pants thing slide, I just bought new boxers and there WAY too cool to keep hidden either way".
Kim laughed at that remark, her young voice sounding like heavenly bells to Ron. The boy's face flushed with blushing embarrassment.
Kim smiled "Thanks Ron but really, it's no big deal, you don't have to".
Suddenly Kim's beeper flashed on, she immediately flipped it open.
Kim asked "What's the sitch Wade?".
The computer whiz replied "Prof. Dementor is setting up a radioactive spider robot factory in Los Angeles, you've gotta get there fast".
Kim nodded and headed off onto her next mission.
"Coming Ron?" the cheerleader asked.
Ron nodded "Uh yeah sure thing KP, just give me a sec".
The boy sighed silently with regret, "Crash and burn Ron man".
Meanwhile……
"Forget it, no way Shego" Drakken stated firmly.
The green and black villainous, Shego was angrily objecting to Drakken hiring a hired gun to eliminate Kim Possible.
Shego growled "Come on she is SO mine, I can totally take her out. Besides it's about time she and I settled the score".
Drakken snapped "Forget it, nada, not a chance, you've had 3 seasons and 2 prime time movies to beat her Shego, this time were doing it my way".
The blue-skinned doctor approached a phone and dialed up a particular number.
Drakken spoke "Hello? Bounty Hunters R'us? I'm interested in purchasing one of your bounty hunters for hire. Uh huh, uh huh, yes, yes it's for illegal and sinful purposes only. The target is a teenage girl and……STOP LAUGHING, its Kim Possible okay? Which hunter? Well there was one hunter that sounded very, interesting. I saw him in your catalog. Yes, he's the one I want, absolutely, please send me……
The Red Dragon……HA, HA, HA, HA, HA".
