The Phantom Saga I:
Nightmares
There it was, Ron Stoppable, sit down in the "interrogation room" at least that is what they call it, it was just a white room with a table, a ceiling lamp and three old chairs.
Ron has a strange look on his face is dirty, tired and relief.
Two men enter the room; both of them wearing black suits.
Man in black suit: (sitting down) Mr. Stoppable, sorry for being so rude in a moment like this, but your side of the story is the only one left.
Other man in a black suit: We already have the sides of ... (Checking on his notebook) Shego, Dr. Director, Monique, Wade, and... Mr. Dueñas
Ron: (Surprised) Who?
Other man in a black suit: Mr. Dueñas
Ron: It doesn't ring any bells
Man in black suit: He was the one that, (Reading from his notebook) "Jump with a broken arm to the helicopter"
Ron: (Very Ron like) ooooouuuuu! The bandaged guy, I never ask his name, I should have, he helped Kim in the helicopter. (Weaving his head in a negative) That poor guy was all burned; the only things that weren't bandaged were his eyes… and fingers.
Man in black suit: Well he is taking care of the special section of this improvised hospital
Ron: (surprised) Special Section?
Man in black suit: were Shego and Ms. Possible are.
Ron: Oh, yeah, right.
Other man in a black suit: Any How, Your part of the story is the one that matters. Not even the sides of Ms. Possible could be so helpful to our investigation, you are the person how knows better this Phantom guy.
Ron: Me? What about Shego.
Man in black suit: I don't think Shego could give us the information that we need, we wouldn't know if she was lying, and we don't know if Drakken is still alive.
Other man in a black suit: And she is unconscious.With Ms. Possible, Duff and Shego in a hospital bed. You are the only one left.
Man in black suit: And, (Remarking the "and") the only important witness from inside the "Menace". I mean, you were there for two months you most...
Ron: (in a sad tone) is she ok?
Man in black suit: Ms. Possible? Yes she is going to walk again, but her mind is a little... well if we destroy the...
Other man in a black suit: Well judging her other adventures, I think she'll be just fine.
Man in black suit: And, (Again remarking the "and") you have Wade working on that problem.
Ron: You know. I don't even know you guys.
Other man in a black suit: We are special agents Dwight Thompson and Gary Johnson from C.I.A.
Agent Johnson: (With a sad smile) well at least the remains of it.
Ron: Do you now agents Smith and Smith?
Agent Thompson: 800 of them.
Ron: (With a little chuckle) Wow!
All of the sudden, an explosion is heard and the whole place starts shaking, the ceiling lamp comes and goes, they all look to the ceiling but they're not moving, freeze for the surprise. Then it stopped.
Ron: (Looking the ceiling with a worried face) So. How are we doing out there?
Agent Johnson:(Looking the ceiling with a worried face) Last time I check we were winning.
Agent Thompson: (In a nervous way, looking both of them) can we… get started?
Ron: Okay.
Agent Johnson: (To Ron) how it all began?
Mr. Barking: (Facing the class) Listen up people!
The story is move into the halls of Middleton
Mr. Barking: I want you to welcome the newest member of our happy family. He's an exchange student, and he will be joining us for the rest of the semester.
(Reading from a piece of paper) Mr. Noch… no…che yeg… yeg.
Why don't you introduce yourself?
New member of the happy family:(In a cheerful way)hi I'm Juan Noche Yegua, I come from Mexico, and I'm looking forward to meet you all.
Mr. Barking: Ok, Juan why don't you take a seat.
Juan walks to the nearest place available. It was the seat next to Ron Stoppable.
Ron: (Taking his hand and waving) hola amigo, welcome to the US.
Juan: (A little confuse for the cheerful welcome) hi.
Ron: I'm Ron, Ron Stoppable.
Juan: What a weird name.
Ron: Ha! Look who's talking.
Ron: Wait!
We return to the interrogation room were two agents are listening to a young man.
Agent Thompson: Something wrong Mr…
Ron: (Interrupting) yes, this isn't the beginning.
Agent Johnson: (Looking his partner's notebook) It began in the Lazy C, isn't?
Ron: Yes.
We are now transported to a remote town in the middle of the desert, a few miles of the Lazy C.
A man on a brown horse is making his way to a little store; the man has a brown, more like dirty dark brown cowboy hat, an open coat of the same exact color, black shirt, black jeans a black brownish belt with a buckle in a very weird shape; to complete this, a red handkerchief over his mouth and one glove, one red glove on his right hand.
He goes into the store, the sales clerk is reading a magazine on the counter, but he is quickly distracted by a hand with a strange scar in front of him.
Man: (With his hand still on the counter) well hello over there.
Clerk: (Getting his head up to see the man) may I help you sir.
Man: Yes, in fact, you may. (Getting out of his coat a sawed-off shotgunand pointing it to the clerk) give me all your money.
Clerk: (Screaming) oh! My! God!
Man: Give me the money, and nobody gets hurt.
Clerk: Please don't shoot me!
Man: Give me the money.
Clerk: Please I beg you!
Man: Just give me the money.
Clerk: I have a family!
Man: (Mocking) oh, now that's rich.
Clerk: Please, Please, Please.
Man: (Yelling) Give me the money!
Clerk: I have two kids at home!
Man: What the hell! What are you? Sixteen?
Clerk: oh please no! Oh God!
Man: (Shooting the roof) Give me the money! I mean, do I have to spell it to you, retard.
Clerk: Oh! Please! I can give you anything you want.
Man: (Shock by the stupid answer) are you even listening?!
Clerk: (With some tears on his eyes) please don't (Starts crying) shoot!
Man: You now I'm the one that should be crying, everywhere I go is the same exact thing. We all thieves try always to do our best, but noooooouu. You crybabies are always there to make our life miserable, always complicating things, always scaring people off with no good reason. If we say, give us the money and nobody gets hurt. We mean it!
The clerk begins to calm down and listens.
Man: (getting closer to the clerk and pointing at him) is because of people like you. That in this business innocent people get kill. (Looking that the clerk is calming down) That's it, let it all out.
The clerk moves his head on approval
Man: Good. Sorry to get angry so fast (Pointing his watch with his thumb without taking his eyes or gun out the clerk) but I'm on a hurry
Clerk: (Now completely calm) I don't have the key for the register, the owner has it, but his not hear yet, we don't usually have clients at 5 A.M.
Without a thought the man smashes the head of the clerk on the register.
The register opens at the same time the clerk hits the wooden floor. The Man starts to get all the money on the bag that was on his belt.
The man walks slowly to the exit.
Clerk: (Still on the floor) you said nobody gets hurt!
Man: (Walking away) did you give me the money?
The Man puts his bag on the side of the horse and starts riding to the dawn.
In one side of a canyon that divides the dessert, the man hears in the distance what sounds like horses. He looks back to see two shinny little dots in the distance, they're getting closer. The man recognizes who's on the metallic horse. He has seen her before, but only on TV.
Man: (Smiling) the teen hero.
He slows down his horse. Just for fun. So the "horses" could catch up with him.
Man: (To K.P.) It's an honor girl.
Kim Possible: Give up Red Hand.
Red Hand, that's the name the news made up for him.
Red Hand: (Putting his hand in his coat) sure.
From the coat, and now in his hand, the sawed-off shotgun is pointing at Kim and without blinking fires the gun at the teen.
Ron: K.P.!
But Kim escapes from the shot.
Red Hand: (Pointing at Ron) shut up Blondie.
Red Hand is about to kill Ron. But Kim jumps from behind the horse and land on front of Red Hand affecting his accuracy. Ron's metallic horse, now with a hole in the head losses control launching him sky high.
Ron Stoppable landed on his back. Meanwhile Kim jumps back to her horse, but not without Red Hand's sawed-off shotgun
Kim: (Pointing at Red Hand) Give up Red Hand.
Red Hand: Or What? (Mocking) hero
Kim: (Still pointing) isn't obvious.
Red Hand: (opening his coat so she can have a clean shot) be my guest, girl.
Kim throws the shotgun to Red Hand hitting him on the head making him fall from his horse.
He quickly gets up and starts to run to a near an old rope bridge which unites the two sides of the canyon, but Kim's horse is right behind him. He puts his hand in his coat once more and get's out a revolver. He shots at Kim's horse which makes it to do exactly the same that Ron's did, but Kim knows how to fall and starts to run for Red Hand.
Red Hand is in the middle of the bridge and now with two revolvers starts shooting. But the hit on the head and the fall didn't help. While shooting Red Hand runs to the left side of the bridge. He shoots the ropes making the bridge to fall with Kim in the middle. But she runs towards the right side an make it on time. She pulls a string of her backpack, and after this the backpack is destroyed to give space to a jetpack. Red Hand sees this, throws one of the revolvers to the ground and from inside his coat another sawed-off shotgun is reveled. With a single shoot a wing from the jetpack is destroyed. Kim loses the jetpack and stars freefalling. Now with nowhere to fall Kim stretches his hand. Red Hand sees this and knows that the hand is going to land just on his feet, at the edge of the canyon. He blows up that part making a hole that doubles the size of Kim's hand.
Now freefalling throw the canyon Kim shoots her grappling hook. But Red Hand grabs it and starts spinning it.
Red Hand: (Screaming and throwing the hook back at Kim) a little payback!
Kim's hit on the head knocks her out cold while falling into the canyon.
Red Hand: (Looking down and touching his hat) Adios.
Red Hand turns his back to the canyon. But a sound makes him turn around, looks down to the trail of smoke that just appear out of nowhere. He follows that trail, just to see a shinny spot picking up Kim.
He grabs his revolver and points it at the teens.
Ron: (Shaking Kim to wake her up) Kim! Kim! Come on Kim, wake up. Come on.
Red Hand: (Still pointing) come on Blondie… stay still… come on… just a little more… got ya!
The shoot breaks one wing.
Ron: (Spinning out of control with Kim in his arms) oooo! Come on! Give me a bre…
The teen is interrupted by a tree, but at least are fine and closer to the ground.
But Red Hand is watching how they manage to get out of the tree in one piece.
Red Hand: Damn I'm out of bullets. (Turning around and walking away) What the hell is wrong (picking up his other revolver) with me today, I mean. I point to the head I hit the wing. What the hell.
And he just walks away into the desert.
