It had been a three whole weeks since the Diablo toy fiasco and life in Middleton was back to its everyday busy self as was the rest of the world. And as for Kim and Ron's relationship that too had returned to its normal self, much to Ron's dismay. They both had graduated recently and now were looking for some R and R at their favourite fast food place. Kim wanted to make sure that her best friend was still her best friend especially after she called it off on dating.
-Bueno nacho-
"I guess I just wanted to make sure things are ok between us Ron, I just need time to think on this" Kim looked pleadingly. She wanted things to return to normal and she certainly didn't want to hurt Ron.
"KP, all I care about is your happiness, and if your happy im happy" he said with a brave smile which was so typical of Ron.
"Thanks Ron" Kim smiled
*beep beep beee bup*
"What's the sitch Wade?"
"Hey Kim, well there's two actually; Drakken has been spotted in a giant Airship headed north" Wades face was replaced by a diagram and a picture of Drakkens airship. Rons head competed with Kims to get a better look at what they were up against.
"That would be so cool if it didn't have the potential to hurt us" Ron interjected. Kim frowned and pushed Rons head out the way. "And what's the other sitch Wade?"
"Dementor in the Bavarian Alps, some new machine his cooked up. I can't tell what it does yet"
"Two sitches at the same time? What is the deal? Now the villains are just plan rude" Ron said crossing his arms with a frown
"It was bound to happen sooner or later Ron" kim said with a slight titter
"Look, Rufus and I will take Drakken and you foil Dementor "Ron insisted
"Ron…" Kim said with a raised eyebrow
"Ok, ok I'll foil Dementor"
"No, Ron you're not going by yourself"
"I won't be by myself, I have Rufus" he raised Rufus up in his hand
Kim rolls her eyes and turns back to Wade "Wade can't GJ handle Dementor?"
"Sorry guys, they're currently busy with Monkey Fist"
"Oh Monkey Fist too? What are the odds?" Ron whined "KP, I think we should split up on this one"
"No Ron, you couldn't handle Dementor by yourself or Drakken"
"I can too" he said insistently
"I'm not going to argue with you on this, come on I need the back up. We'll get Dementor after we foil Drakken"
"Come on Kim, you don't think I can foil? I can so foil, Ron Stoppable is the foil mastermind" Ron stood up from his seat and did a kung fu stance.
"We're going after Drakken, then Dementor" Kim said sternly then turned back to the kimmunicator "ride Wade?"
"GJ sent a jet, should be waiting outside to drive you to your destination. I'll keep you updated on Dementor's movements"
"Please and thank you"
*-Roll the Intro-*
*Drakkens theme song*
Dark clouds started to swirl above, as a Giant Airship came into view of a once peaceful city
Aboard the Airship
-Airships central Control Hub-
"By using my Cloud dispersal launcher, entwined with the hypertonic neural neutralizer formula I will be able to turn the residents of an entire city into mindless zombies wah ha ha haaa" Dr Drakken laughed menacingly
"You're joking? You're going with the whole mind control thing again? Ugh! Ever considered a plan that was a little more original?" A raspy female voice came from a large chair facing some monitors.
"Third time's the charm Shego, and besides, THIS time it's going to work"
Shego rested the magazine she was reading in her lap and swung the chair around to face the mad scientist "mmm K, and why's that?" She asked with a hint uncertainty.
"Because Shego, this impenetrable Sky Fortress is equipped with Iron phased pulse cannons, motion sensors and stealth mode. We are nigh untouchable, this is my most fall proof plan yet"
"If you say so doc" she said un-phased as she turned the page to Villains weekly magazine
"nargh! Can you pay a little more attention when I'm ranting?" he sputtered in annoyance. Drakken walked over to the console where his henchmen were working "activate the charging sequence to the cloud dispersal launcher" He commanded. A henchman flips the switch to the machine, its lights charge and the machines engine hums. In the city down below, a mother pushes her pram as she looks up in horror to see a super Blimp come to a stop above the city. A crack of thunder rolls across the sky in the far distance.
"In Roughly 10mins, the entire city will be at my mercy" Drakken divulged as he peered out the window.
"And 10 minutes is all I need" a voice said as two figures repelled down a rope from one of the vents.
"Kim Possible? How did you get in here?" Drakken said Flabbergasted
"Yaah! And 5 minutes is all I need" the black and green villainess taunted as she somersaulted in view of Kim, hands glowing and prepared to fight.
"8 minutes is all we need to launch sir" a random henchman said at a console. At this, Shego lunged forward and attacked.
"KP I need your help a minute" a tangled, upside down Ron Stoppable whined as he tapped his best friend on the shoulder.
"ooonnne minnuute" Kim said irritated, struggling to evade Shegos attacks
"Wait, how many minutes?" a very puzzled Drakken walked over to the console.
"So what's the plan this time?" Kim asked after dodging an attack from Shego. Shego paused,
"Mind control" she answered with a smirk.
"Again?" Kim raised one eyebrow
Shego leered "He doesn't get out much".
Drakken's face dropped "I get out plenty thank you very much and for your information this time it'll work...the third time's the charm"
"Fifth time" Ron, Shego and Kim said in unison as they stopped what they were doing to stare at him. Drakken looked baffled surely it couldn't have been that many times.
"It's only been..." Drakken tried to recount the times using his fingers
"Yeah first there was the Shampoo" Ron said still hanging from the roof
"Then the leprechaun train" Shego interjected
"For the last time Shego those were soldiers" Drakken said trying hard to change the subject
"Don't forget the mind control chips" Ron said with a grin knowing that Kim, Shego and Drakken wanted to forget about that one.
"And the silly hats" Kim added sardonically
"That last one doesn't count I wasn't trying to take over the world"
"Yeah but dude ya gotta.." Ron was about to give his opinion when Drakken cut him off
"SILENCE! IT'S MY TAKE OVER THE WORLD PLAN ILL DO IT MY WAY" he yelled shaking his fists and gritting his teeth in frustration like a kid that couldn't get his own way. Shego and Kim continued on fighting as if the conversation never happened. Meanwhile Rufus climbed out of Rons pocket and started to gnaw away at the ropes. Ron watched from his upside-down position as Kim back flipped onto some crates as Shego followed close behind, slashing wildly after her.
"…ooo this place has an awesome view" Ron enthusiastically said, peering out the window
"RON FOCUS!" an annoyed Kim Possible glared over her shoulder
"Well I would if I could get out of these ropes, ehhh"
"Cloud dispersal machine ready in 30 seconds" A computer voice announced.
Kim was running out of time Shego's hits were getting closer and Drakkens goons were closing in. Kim dodged an attack from Shego, leaving Shego exposed Kim kicked her off the crates, she then jumped on the rope which Ron was still hanging from. They circled around the room at break neck speed knocking out Henchmen left, right and centre. The rope however, had worn thin due to Rufus trying to get Ron unstuck. *Snap*, Kim, Ron and Rufus flew head first towards the cloud dispersal machine, knocking out Kim on impact and leaving Ron's pants in the ball of tangled rope still hanging from the ceiling "oh man, not the pants" Ron sighed.
Brushing himself off and looking up to see Drakkens goons and Shego charging towards him he wasn't sure which button switches off the machine and there was no way he could fight all of Drakkens goons let alone Shego. He picked up Kim and raced towards the cockpit of the airship and shut the door behind him, barring it just in time to hear a bunch of henchmen slamming into it.
"ahh haaaa! Victory is mine" Drakken yelled triumphantly as he pressed the button to launch the toxin into the cities air. Yet, nothing happened but the Cloud Dispersals control panel smoked and then fizzed shutting down everything except the Airships emergency lights and primary systems, "nargh! Cheap electrical components "
"I told you that salesman at the buyer's market was dodgy" The green villainess scolded derisively
"You step out in good faith to other villains and pay retail, and this is what you get," Dakken sulked
-Airships Cockpit-
'ok think Ron, Drakkens Goons are gonna cut through that door in 15mins tops, KPs out for the count and Drakken is about to launch a toxin into the cities air…and I have no pants, think Ron think'. Ron looks down at where Rufus was standing. "haa! Great idea Rufus" he pulled out the Kimmunicator "Wade, Im gonna need your help"
-Airships central Control Hub-
"Should have just stolen one of the newer models from Hench co. with heated seats and lumbar support" Drakken muttered as he opened the control panel which grey smoke was emanating from.
"Well what now? Doctor Fool proof plan" Shego sighed cynically
"meeehh, Shego bite your tongue!, all I need to do is replace a few wires and I'll have it humming along in… *Buzz* aww, owwwww, argh!" the smell of burnt hair filled the room. Drakken looked up at Shego with his goggles still on and his hair burnt off, hoping she didn't somehow notice his silly mistake or loud yelps. To his disappointment she stood there with her hands on her hips and the look of 'I saw that coming'. "Ah…yes…well at least I don't have to replace the yellow wire" he returned back to what he was doing. Shego turned around to make her way to the cockpit but then stopped dead in her tracks.
"Ah Dr D?"
"BUSY Shego, go check if those lazy slugs have captured Kim Possible and what's his face" he said waving his hand in a dismissive way
"Well I'm guessing not. Cause we're currently moving… away from the city" She said in a slightly annoyed sarcastic tone while gazing out the window.
"Whaaaat?" Drakken ran to the window, and pressed his face up against it, the airship was indeed moving away from the city.
"Yeah, looks like Possibles dopey side kick isn't that dopey after all" Shego thought out loud.
"mmMMm" Drakken annoyed, started to roll up his sleeves as he headed towards the cockpit. He bursts into the room leading to the Cockpit. Gazing around the room to find the oxy torch gear was out and that the Henchmen had made a start at cutting the Cockpits door open. But were all sitting down to coffee and sandwiches.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"ahhhh, we're on break" one of them said with a goofy smile on his face
"My Plan to take over an entire city rests in the balance of YOU doing your jobs and I come in here to find you snacking? nargh" he kicked a henchmen who was bending down to grab a plate out of the cupboard, the rest dropped their snacks and ran to the oxytorch and started cutting where they left off.
-Airships Cockpit-
"uh oh Rufus time to change strategies" he said to his little buddy, as he could see the sparks flying from underneath the door. He knew it wouldn't be long till that door was open.
Drakken felt the airship start to creek and tilt forwards. There was a loud crash and rumble as the contents in the airship which weren't tied down started to slide around. "GET THAT DOOR OPEN, AND STOP THE BUFFOON" Drakken yelled as he held onto a support beam.
Then the airship started to tilt upwards and Drakken flew out the door of the cockpit foyer and into the central control hubs back wall, along with all the henchmen falling after him. Shego saw them flying towards her and managed to move out the way of the oncoming inevitable pile on. She would have laughed if not all her concentration was focused on holding on for dear life, hearing Drakkens squeal and seeing his face as he looked up in horror, to see the henchmen land on him.
"SHEGO!" he yelled implying for her to do something about the helpless situation. *Bang* there was a loud explosion from outside, one of the engines caught fire and was spurting out black smoke. The airship levelled out, but it wouldn't be long till it would start to lose altitude.
Kim woke up in time to see Ron unplugging the Kimmunicator from the main console and stepping away from the steering wheel. "What happened?" she groaned rubbing her head "No time to explain KP, we gotta get outta here stat, I think I taxed the engine, come on Rufus" he replied. "What about Drakken?" Kim asked.
Meanwhile in the Central Control Hub red Lights were flashing all over the ship, henchmen were running in panic everywhere, it made it very difficult for Shego to reach her employer, but after shoving a few henchmen out the way she managed. "Come on, we're gone" She said as she grabbed Dr D by the collar and dragged him through to the cargo bay which is where the hover craft was stored. They soon discovered the hovercrafts console had been smashed from a falling crate which was not secured properly.
"mmm that's not going to fly" Drakken whinged
"ya think?" Shego cynically remarked,
"come on, we'll use these" she pointed to the last two parachutes hanging on the wall, Drakken grabbed one and secured it on his back, then pressed the button to open the very large cargo door as he stood on the edge ready to jump, however he only now realized the storm outside had gotten much stronger, rain was pouring down and thunder crackled, the wind was intense, what was worse is that the airship had flown over the ocean and land was miles away. "What a time to go out" he whinged.
Shego pushed him out of the door, and then she secured her parachute and got ready to jump. She turned around to see Kim and a fully dressed Ron burst into the cargo room, with that she yelled "Thanks for flying air crash and burn" She laughed as she jumped out.
Kim grabbed the Kimmunicator from her pocket "Wade, we need a landing solution"
"You've still got your jetpack right?"
"Yeah but we may not have enough fuel to get to the mainland. And are you seeing this storm?"
"Rons backpack is actually an inflatable capsule, its more than enough room for two and it has a built in beacon for GJ to come find you after the storm, just pull the cord once you hit the water" Wade concluded.
"Thanks wade; I guess it'll have to do"
Kim grabbed Ron around the waist and jumped out. Kim tried to make her way to the mainland, even though she knew she wouldn't reach it. But getting closer to the mainland was paramount; it would at least make it easier for GJ to find them once Ron activated the capsule. She struggled to maintain control as she flew through the storm, rain was hitting their faces hard, and the wind was in their eyes it was intense. Suddenly a tornado dropped out of the sky, it moved differently, unnatural. It headed straight for them.
"Kim lookout" Ron pointed to the tornado which was heading straight for them. The tornado came closer and closer, Kim moved out of its path, but the tornado seemed to turn around and follow them. Kim dived down to the sea level skimming the water as she tried her hardest to shake the huge swirling terror of doom which was chasing them. It was gaining on them fast and the mainland could not be seen, she wasn't sure which way to go. Suddenly a huge wave came out of nowhere and smashed down on top of them, submerging them both under water…
Ron woke up in an orange coloured room, which was shaped like a dome and had a few zipper pockets on the walls. The whole room gently moved up and down like it was on a mechanical bull for children. He could hear the water outside of the room splash against the walls which appeared to be filled with air. He wondered where he was, what happened? And where was Kim? Luckily he still had Rufus safely in his pocket. He came to the conclusion that this room was the capsule Wade mentioned. He couldn't remember pulling the cord or what happened after the wave hit. But he did remember what Wade said about the beacon this capsule had, "don't worry buddy, GJ should be here soon" he reassured Rufus…and himself.
'I'd better make sure where here was' Ron thought as he stood up and climbed out of the squishy odd exit hole which was located on the right side of the roof of the dome. Looking out he could see that the skies had cleared but there was no land to be seen what so ever, this was disheartening to say the least. He turned around to notice that at the very top of the dome was an antenna with flashing red light, 'at least the beacon is working' he thought.
He crawled back down the hole and sighed. He looked at Rufus "Looks like it's me and you Rufus" the little mole rat nodded in agreement. Ron opened one of the zippers on the wall to find power bars, chocolate, water and flares. "All right we got food and water for later…and snackage awesome, I would go for a nacho right now, but I guess chocolate will do" Rufus nodded in approval rubbing his belly.
Sometime later, after Ron and Rufus consumed twelve bars of chocolate Ron felt like he was going to explode "Ooooo Rufus…the Ron-man has never been sooo full ooohhh!" he picked up the wrapper to read the contents and find out what brand this strange chocolate was. Ron read out loud "warning! Do not consume more than two blocks of chocolate a day…highly concentrated…recommended vitamin daily dosage…survival food….uh oh, OH! Why didn't I check this before eating eleven whole bars?" looking at Rufus who looked like a swollen balloon which had a whole bar to himself, "let alone let you have any Rufus, you shouldn't even have had one block" "oooooohhhhh" Rufus groaned.
Suddenly he heard a loud *slap*it sounded like someone was outside and had just climbed onto the capsule. "KP" he shouted in Relief, he stood up and climbed out the hole only to come face to face with a drenched Shego "guess again" she commented snidely. "Ah a little help?" Drakken pleaded as his hands and legs could be seen trying to leverage himself up onto the small rubber deck protruding from the dome capsule.
-Strange Island-
Kim woke up to find herself face down on a strange beach. The seagulls buzzed ahead, and there was a thick Jungle as far as the eye could see. She slowly stood up rubbing her head "Ron?" "RON?" She called out, no answer. She pulled out the Kimmunicator, the screen however was cracked and the buttons weren't responding. "I hope this Island has a phone on it somewhere" she thought out loud as she headed towards the dense Jungle. She didn't get too far before she heard a rustle in the bushes, she stood in her attack pose ready to strike at anything that came at her. Suddenly the bushes burst opened and a man in a yellow and black jump suit who was sweating profusely came right at her. But before Kim could ask him where the nearest anything was he just past her yelling "RUN!" and darted off into the Jungle. Kim called out after him "Hey wait a sec I just wanted too.." but he was gone. In a clearing not too far away to where Kim was, two figures sat in a Jeep wearing Safari explorer outfits *queue Seniors theme*
"Ah isn't this wonderful Junior? Fresh air, the outdoors and this new Billionaires hunting club is quite exciting" the elderly gentleman turned to his son who was sitting in the seat next to him.
"hmm but father, I don't see why we have to hunt poor defenceless peoples, why don't we hunt poor defenceless animals instead? " Jr. asked.
"*sigh* did you not read the brochure Junior? Millionaires hunt animals, billionaires hunt people"
"But I don't see why we cannot try a different hobby, like clubbing or beach partying"
"All wealthy villains around the world take part in a sinister sport, its rule number 26 in the Big Book of Villainy"
"whatever"
"Honestly my son I sometimes wonder if you're even interested in becoming a villain"
"Father please, I'm working on my robust tan"
-Inside the Orange capsule-
"ahh At last, we are out of the water Shego, this capsule was a God send" Drakken emptying the water from his boots. He looked over at Shego who had tied up the buffoon with his own skivvy. "What should we do with the sidekick?" she taunted Ron staring at him with her deep green eyes.
"Ah there's really no need to do anything with me I don't take up much room, we've got lots of space" Ron babbled nervously
Drakken was instantly reminded of how much the buffoon annoyed him "hmm throw him over board" he said in a dismissive carefree way. "Works for me" Shego smiled as she picked up Ron and slung him over her shoulder.
"wait" Ron pleaded "Global Justice will be here soon there's no need for rash decisions"
"Dr D, maybe the buffoons got a point, I mean we may need Kimmies pet as a hostage"
"Yes, a hostage, and I am no one's pet" Ron speaking over Shego's shoulder
"mMm very well" Drakken reluctantly accepted. Shego put Ron down "got any water?" she asked Ron looking around. "ah yeah in one of the zipper pockets" he loosened his hands from his skivvy as the sleeves were tied together around his hands. Shego and Drakken didn't seem to care he'd broken free he guessed they figured that he would break out of them sooner or later, skivvy's weren't the best for tying people up. Either that or they were too busy drinking the water supplies to notice.
Ron rubbed his wrists "hey go easy on the water that needs to last" he yelled
Drakken and Shego glared at him. They had been out in ocean water hanging on to floating debris for a whole night and part of the morning without water or food. But they both realized he had a point, they weren't sure how long it was going to be before GJ arrived, could be days.
Ron hadn't been this close to Drakken or Shego without sudden impact before, it was odd to say the least. "where's Possible?" Shego enquired after having her fill of water, Ron's face dropped "ah I don't know we kinda got separated" he said with a worried look on his face. "Ha, serves herself right for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong" Drakken accused as he bit into a power bar he found in one of the zipped pockets.
"Hey Kim is tough, she's still out there…with any luck she's probably back in Middleton discussing with Wade and GJ on where to find me" Ron said confidently
"Let's hope so, then I can get off this joyous boat ride" Shego sarcastically commented as she looked in one of the pockets for food.
-Strange Island-
Kim pushed her way through the thick foliage she wondered where she was and what was that man in the yellow jump suit running from. She forged her way through and noticed a clearing a little further on. As she slapped a mosquito on her cheek she saw sitting on a hill a Jeep with its top down and two figures sitting in it, one was holding a map and the other had binoculars to his eyes. "Maybe those two can tell me where I am" she ran up to the car "Ahem excuse me" Kim said politely "I was wondering if you could give me directions, Im kinda lost and…" as one of the figures lowered the map, only to reveal Senor Senior Junior "Kim Possible?" he said surprised "Junior?" she said in response.
"I didn't know you were a billionaire"
"Ahh Kim Possible, my feisty teen nemesis. I should have known you would be arriving soon"
"Senior"
"Where is the one that always loses his trousers?" Junior enquired rubbing his chin
"Yes Ron Stoppable" Senior reminded him
"His at Global Justice headquarters by now…I hope…wait how did you know I would be arriving soon?" Kim inquired
"Well because of the Global Justice Jet that was shot down as it flew over the island. They crashed landed quiet close to us, we were rather lucky" The older Senior informed.
"Ugh the blow back was murder on my hair" Junior ran a hand through his own hair
"I'd be more than happy to Show you the crash site Kim Possible but first I must win my bet without you ruining my plans or getting in my way?" Senor Senior Senior said
"What bet?" Kim asked suspiciously
"The one were I capture more Global Justice agents from the crash than anyone else, we dressed them in yellow jump suits as to not confuse them for the other animals" as he finished his sentence he pressed a button on the dashboard of his jeep which activated a large net gun unfold at the back of the jeep. Kims eyes widened to dinner plate size as she saw a net come straight at her which she was able to dodge it only just, as she turned and ran into the deep jungle.
-Capsule dome-
Night had fallen and Drakken was asleep, but Shego was still awake she watched Ron eat his half of a power bar while Rufus nibbled on the other half. "Shego, can I ask you something?" Ron began
"UH, No talking sidekick, you're considered a prisoner "she snarled
"Whats it like working for Drakken?" he continued without any regard of the consequences
"Zip it" she said harshly
"I mean, it must be hard to know that after you steal whatever device Drakken needs, it'll just be put to a plan that will end in failure" he carried on, not noticing Shego's mood changing from annoyed to angry.
"What?" she growled,
"You know, you steal something and it was all for nothing cause KP and I foil Drakken's plot, your talents could be used in other things"
"And How would you like to spend the night outside?" she threatened as she raised a fired up glowing hand.
Ron stopped talking, he finished the rest of his bar and threw the wrapper in an empty space and lay down, Shego extinguished her flames and lay down too. They used their arms as pillows and stared at each other for a while. Ron decided to break Shego's icy glare with a nervous smile, which Shego responded by snorting and facing the opposite direction.
It was cold that night and after hours of trying, Ron couldn't sleep, he was worried how long he would be out here with two of the most dangerous people he knew. He also thought about whether Kim made it or not, he looked down to see Rufus sleeping in his pocket, then he looked over to Drakken who was snoring and muttering something he couldn't quite make out "kill…all…penguins" or at least that's what Ron thought he said.
Looking at Shego however she was shivering and her teeth were chattering, Ron unzipped one of the pockets on his side of the dome looking for a blanket or something that could cover her with. But the pocket appeared empty at the bottom however there was a flap, lifting the flap he found an aluminium on one side and felt like material on the other type rug he grabbed it and spread it out over Shego. The fabric was light but anything is better than nothing he thought. It seemed to do the trick after a while Shego stopped shaking. Must be one of those survival blankets Ron heard about which traps heat underneath the blanket, 'Wade thinks of everything' he thought.
He went back to his designated area of the dome and lay down he found a light rain jacket with a hoody which he put over himself to keep warm and eventually fell asleep. The morning found Ron the last one to wake up he opened his eyes to find Drakken, sitting directly opposite him, he seem to be busy tampering with an olive and burgundy coloured device. He was muttering about salt water or something Ron propped himself up and looked around the room. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and Noticed that Shego was gone and the blanket he put on her last night was folded up neatly where she had been sleeping.
"where's Shego?" Ron asked
Drakken didn't answer he was too busy trying to pry the back of the device off.
Ron unwrapped a power bar and broke half off and gave the other half to Rufus
"And who said you could eat one of those?" Drakken said pointing at the power bar Ron had in his hands
"These are mine, feel lucky you're getting any" Ron snapped back
"Well Mr Smarty boots how do you like this?" Drakken emptied all the food from the pockets and placed it on his side
"Oh yeah?" Ron retorted as he grabbed all the water and put it on his own side
"Prisoners don't get any rights" Drakken argued
"Technically you still ARE a prisoner" Ron stated referring to Drakkens's time still owed in penitentiary
"Well then, THIS prisoner will show you how we deal with disputes in the lock up" Drakken said as he rolled up his sleeves
"And you'll be going straight back to lock up…after your trip to the hospital" Ron said getting in his fighting stance
"We'll just see about that buffoon" Drakken shot back as he charged at Ron
Shego was out on the small deck washing her face and in deep thought. She wondered why the sidekick gave the blanket to her and didn't keep it for himself. She thought it was nice of him but she wasn't going to thank him, she had a certain reputation to hold, more so that Drakken was around. Then the dome started to rock around "HEY!" Shego shouted.
On entering the dome Shego saw both Drakken and Ron rolling around on the floor, Drakken was pushing Rons head away while Ron was trying to pin down Drakken's arm. Shego stood there for a while watching these two characters wrestle, then decided to break it up before they both put a hole in the rubber dome. "Ahem" Shego stated as she stood there with her arms folded, they both looked up at her and pushed each other off.
"He started it" they both said in unison, "shouldn't you be trying to fix the Trans universal whatcha ma jiggy?" Shego grilled placing her hands on her hips. She felt as if she was a parent coming home to find her kids bickering.
"The Trans universal Intercom receiver Shego" Drakken bitterly corrected
"whatever" Shego shrugged,
"whats it do?" Ron asked
"It's for me to know and you to find out" Drakken snapped as he picked up the device which was on the floor behind Ron.
Knowing it would annoy Drakken, Shego Informed Ron "It calls the lair and sends the backup hovercraft" She said with a slight smile on her face. Ron thought she was smiling at him, so he smiled back.
"Hmmm" Drakken groaned, irritated by Shegos lack of confidentiality.
Shego looked at Ron "And where is Global Justice? Didn't you say they were coming to get you?" She accused
"Ah well, yes… the beacons on heh heh. GJ should be on their way" Ron laughed nervously
Shego face palmed and rubbed her temples with her index fingers "if I'm stuck on this boat any longer I'll go crazy" Shego said annoyed.
As night fell, the trio decided to spend their time in solitary silence as Drakken sat in his area with his knees up to his face. The device he was fixing earlier was on the floor next to him the batteries were out and the back cover was off, he suspected that the device was too wet and needed the salt water to be dried in order for it to work again.
Shego had gone outside on the deck of the rubber dome. It was a nice calm night and Shego figured to be alone with her thoughts was better than the company on board.
Ron had been sitting in his designated area with his legs crossed and his head resting in his hand, Rufus was in his lap napping.
Ron sighed as he rested Rufus on the floor and stood up, he pulled three power bars out of the zipper pocket. Which made Drakken raise his head in suspicion but Ron walked over and handed him a bar. He then climbed outside to where Shego had her black and Green jump suit on the floor of the deck and was wearing Ron's rain jacket with her legs dangling in the water. Ron wasn't sure whether to approach or not as he didn't know if she wore anything underneath. She looked over her shoulder to see Ron with his bewildered face.
"So are you gonna to tell me why you're here? or are you just gonna stand there with that dopey expression?" She said turning her head to face the water again. Ron covered his eyes with one hand and handed her a power bar "I ah brought you some dinner" he said sheepishly with his eyes still closed. He waited for her to take the bar from his hand which took longer than he expected, she eventually swiped it from his hand "Thanks" she grumbled. She noticed him with his hand over his eyes "Relax Stoppable, I'm wearing underwear and this jacket is big enough to cover"
"Oh good" he said in relief removing his hand away from his face "cause you know? I wasn't sure…"
"If I was like everyone else and wore underwear?" Shego finished in a deadpanned tone.
"Well you never know you know?" He replied with a red face, he stood there awkwardly for a moment and then turned to climb back down the hole.
"No doubt Kimmie must be worried sick about her sidekick lost out at sea?" Shego prodded to get a reaction. But to her surprise Ron face turned into a sad distant look.
"To be honest im not sure where Kim is, I hope she made it" he said as he stared at the floor. Shego felt some sympathy for the blond, if Kim actually was gone for good her comment would have been in bad taste. She decided to give him hope by covertly reminding him of Kim Possibles habit for surviving.
"hmm Princess always did have an annoying talent for staying alive"
"Heh, yeah K.P definitely lives up to her catch phrase, she can do anything" Ron said starting to perk up
"What's it like being the Cheerleaders sidekick?" Shego inquired.
"Has its moments" He retorted as he sat down next to her, surprised at Rons forwardness, she looked annoyed at him for a moment or two, but decided to let it go. Maybe it was because she was bored or perhaps she had this terrible thought that Dr D wouldn't be able to fix the device and GJ wasn't coming and that Ron and Drakken were the last people she would ever talk to. At least she had someone other than Drakken to tease she also was curious and wanted to find out what it was on team Possible.
"Yeah but don't you get tired of her ordering you around? I mean whats up with that?" She enquired crossing her legs and leaning back on her arms.
"She doesn't order me around" he said defensively "The Ronster's his own man" he puffed up his chest
"Oh puh-lease, Kimmie makes you the distraction, and then takes all the credit for saving the day. Your horse whipped Stoppable." Shego responded, sitting up and pointing a finger in his face
"Am not" Ron frowned
"Yes you are" Shego said playfully
"I am NOT horse whipped"
"Are too"
"AM NOT" he shouted
"Ok wet blanket. All jokes aside, she does wear the pants in your relationship" she said raising one eyebrow slightly with a subtle grin on her face.
"Is that a crack about me losing my pants? Cause I don't find that funny" he asked suspiciously
Shego chuckled
"I guess I can understand why you think that" he sighed and looking into the distance
"We had two missions to get done and I wanted to split up, but she advised against it. She didn't think I could handle you and Drakken on my own" Ron didn't let Shego know it wasn't time he was trying to save nor was he trying to be more efficient at foiling Evil doers plots. He secretly just wanted to be alone for a while away from Kim even if it meant sudden danger. It's not that he was bitter at her he just needed time to think.
"Ok first off, she's right you couldn't handle me" Shego corrected "Secondly, you had two missions?"
"Yeah Dementor has a new doomsday machine"
"huh, might be worth taking a look later" Shego said with a smirk. It had been a while since she infiltrated Dementors lair and stolen something of great importance. Dr D had been so preoccupied with his latest scheme which didn't really require her to steal all that much...at least not from Dementor anyhow.
-Bavaria-
Somewhere in the Bavarian Alps a mysterious black chopper loomed overhead as it came into view of a modern Teutonic looking castle. *queue Dementor theme* Inside, Professor Dementor was busy on the phone calculating the next step in his diabolical scheme to take over the world.
"Yes mother, I will send it to Hilda-Gard" "Ok, ya …nein...ok Alfiedesane…goodbyeee… ya I love you too…ya ok bye" Dementor pressed the 'end call' button with a sigh of relief.
"Oh how touching" a smooth English voice came from the shadows
"Vot are you doing here? You're supposed to be keeping zur nosy, spying Agents of zur Globe of Justice PERSONS BUSY"
"I got tired of playing ring around the rosy with Global Justice, and besides I left that job in more capable hands"
*Cut to Middleton Science campus*
(In the background a building was on fire, while a business man was being towed in a net by two monkey ninjas on a horse) at the same time a group of monkey ninjas were throwing what appeared to be mud (or so everyone hoped) at GJ and police units in riot gear, a poor woman screamed past them yelling "IT's IN MY HAIR!". While a bunch of other monkeys drove a bulldozer they stole scooping up students in the bucket and reversing clumsily into buildings across Campus.
-Bavarian Alpine Lair-
"I also came to check if you were on schedule" the Monkey Master said as he stepped out of the shadows
"You? Check up on Professor Dementor? Huh" Dementor scoffed in contempt "well for your information I have cleverly und cunningly devised a strategy zat will not only render ze Globe of Justice useless but also eliminate my long time shcool girl enemy Kim Possible"
-Capsule dome-
Ron and Shego both sat on the edge of the small deck protruding from the Dome with their legs in the water. It was actually a nice night and both and admittedly Shego enjoyed the company.
"She's right tho I don't think I could handle a mission without K.P" Ron continued
"Are you serious? You know, you did just single handedly stop Drakkens plot, while Kimmie was out cold" Shego uttered
"Well I guess. But I'm pretty sure I just got lucky" Ron stated trying to be modest
"True. You didn't have to fight me but eh I'd give you a solid 5/10 for foiling Dr D's plan" Shego said with a snigger
"Five out of ten? Oh come on" Ron pretended to be disappointed
Shego and Ron shared a laugh
She turned to look at Ron who had a smile on his face and was looking straight at her. Is this Shego offering encouragement?
He gathered that he was staring too intently at her, he quickly looked down at the water and tried to conceal his smile, because whether Shego knew it or not she just payed him a compliment. If she did realize, it was out of character, if she didn't, she soon would because Ron was beaming from ear to ear and she would more than likely over compensate with a hurtful reprisal. If Shego had one rule it was never show vulnerability.
"Doesn't it bother you though, with her taking all the credit? You know she doesn't mention you on her web site?" Shego asked
"It's to protect me"
"Is that what she told you? Please"
"She'll take you for granted until something better comes along or at least until she moves out of Middleton"
"Kims not like that. And you know I can be pretty self-centred at times. I guess that's why our relationship is on hold"
"whoa whoa whoa back up, you two are together?"
"well not officially, she said she needed time to think"
"Ugh! Figures"
"Yeah heh well I thought that maybe with all we've been through we…"
"You're out of your league Stoppable. Girls like Possible date guys on top of the food chain" she said bluntly cutting him off
"You think she would want someone more capable maybe?"
"No Stoppable Kimmie is just one of those Princesses who has the world at her finger tips and doesn't appreciate what she's got until it's gone. Trust me"
"*sigh* My life is one big episode of Agony County"
"You watch Agony County?" Shego asked mockingly
"Just to stay current"
"mm hmm sure"
"Well what do you like to watch?"
"I don't watch TV" She lied
"mm hmm sure" he mimicked her
"Evil eye for the bad guy annnd sometimes Pals"
"Ha Kim loves Pals too"
"Yeah I remember. I came across it when we got stuck in that twisted vortex thingy. I guess I got hooked after that" it left a bad taste in her mouth to say that.
"I remember that. I still have nightmares about that Monkey plug" Ron chuckled awkwardly as he reflected the shear horror of the Monkey Plug.
Shego felt as if she divulged too much to her nemesis's sidekick and getting chummy with Ron Stoppable was not her idea of keeping her tough demeanour.
"Alright beat it side kick I need to put on my clothes and get out of this cold air"
Ron jumped up from where he was sitting with a slight smile on his face and went to bed. He felt as if he could relate to shego a little more now. She was a human being…a tough, cranky, powerful human being but a human being none the less. It was almost like when she was hit by the attitudinator but this time she was more herself. Which Ron oddly found more relaxing.
Morning arrived and Ron noticed that there was something different, he could hear seagulls outside and the room was slightly tilted. It could only mean one thing 'LAND' Ron thought as he quickly got up and ran outside. He dropped to his knees and threw sand in the air in as if it were a fireworks display "I don't believe it Rufus, we are on dry land haha ha" he called out to the naked mole rat. Rufus jumped out of the dome and ran to Rons open hands. Ron put Rufus in his pocket and looked around 'now's my chance I'd better get away from Shego and Drakken while I can' he thought as he started to run into the jungle. He only got about a hundred metres from the beach when he realized the only hope for him to be rescued was for him to stay with the beacon. He sighed and started to gather some coconuts that were on the forest floor "I may as well grab breakfast while I'm out here" he said out aloud.
He got back to the beach ten minutes later. In the distance he saw that both Drakken and Shego were awake and arguing, Shego had a flared up a fist and was ready to strike at her employer. "I guess we better get over there Rufus" he looked down at the pet that was in his pocket. He walked over to Drakken and Shego with an arm full of coconuts and a grin on his face "Chill, everyone Chill the Ron-man was only gone for ten minutes" he said confidently
Shego stormed off past Ron "oh hey, what's up? Hey I got breakfast" He said. She didn't say a word and didn't even make eye contact as she stomped off into the jungle.
"What's with her?" Ron asked Drakken as he dropped the coconuts on the ground.
"Worthless Trans universal Intercom receiver" Drakken threw the device on the ground. Ron deduced the argument was about the T.U.I.R not functioning as it should.
"Maybe it just needs new batteries" Ron said. He wasn't sure why he was trying to console Drakken, it was just in his nature to be positive.
"Oh the lack Witt is going to tell the scientific genius on how to fix his own equipment?" Drakken derided
"Hey I'm offering my opinion…which is helpful…Eh…sometimes"
"Well your opinion isn't welcome or needed" Drakken sat down on a nearby rock and rested his head on his hand. He sat like that for some time when he raised his head "wait I've got it" Drakken said suddenly "maybe it just needs new batteries" he concluded.
Ron and Rufus both look at each other with deadpanned faces.
Meanwhile Shego trudged through the jungle using her powers to cut through any vine that got in her way "Stuck on this… yah! *Whoosh*…Stupid Island, cause he rrrgh! *Whoosh*can't fix the dumb*whoosh* Receiver..." she fumed as she took her frustration out on the vines. "Then there's that stupid sidekick...*whoosh*...making me" Shego stopped mid sentence as she felt a rumble.
Shego then heard a *snap* of brunches and the hum of car engines, she ducked down into some bushes and snuck up for a closer look. Peering through the bushes she saw three jeeps and a bunch of goons. There was a taller man who stood out from the rest wearing khaki coloured shorts and shirt with a brown leather vest and a hat. The other that was with him did not look like your ordinary every day Goons. They wore baggy cargo pants and body armour vests.
"Take her back to the lodge" the taller man ordered in an Australian accent. Two henchmen drag something caught in a net out of the foliage and towards the cars. At first Shego thought it was an animal but looking closely the figure had the trade mark red hair, black tank top and cargo pants she knew all too well "Possible?" Shego whispered in recognition. An odd noise radiates from one of the Jeeps it sounds like a 24bit version of one of the OH Boyz hit song Hello, Hello, Hello not that Shego listened to the OH Boyz but she heard bits and pieces of it enough to recognize the tune. The Aussie man briskly walks over to the jeep and leans in, he picks up a small silver flip phone and opens it. "Andrews" he answers, Shego tries to listen in.
"uh huh...yep...she's here...no worries mate...Righto" he ends the phone call and turns to the goons "right boys, boss wants to have a yarn with this one" he said pointing to Kim
"He also told me to tell ya there's more intruders on the island, and I don't just mean those Global Justice yahoo's we've been realising into the wild. So keep a keen eye open or two"
"Right lets go" he said
"I'll be right with ya I just need take care of some business" one of the goons said as he went behind the tree
"Hurry it up" the Aussie said "Right you lot load Cinderella on to her carriage and we'll take her to the ball"
"I'm not going to any ball you're hosting" Kim said wiggling as the goons picked her up
"Keep quiet princess and you'll be right" the Aussie smiled as he entered the jeep.
Shego couldn't help but smile too 'wonder if this guy would consider joining our side' Shego thought. Once the goons loaded the jeep with their prize they jumped in their SUV's and drove off all except for one which belonged to the goon who was still behind the tree.
