Setting:

Kim and Ron have turned eighteen and are beginning to drift apart causing enormous strain upon the team making them both vulnerable.

Chapter I – Team Possible

Kim Possible opened up her locker deep in thought. She had just turned eighteen and her emotions where definitely running high right now. Especially with the lack of villainous activity, it had been weeks since they had to do a big save the world mission. But even then her best friend Ron Stoppable was acting out of sorts as it where. He had been acting like he wanted to be the hero the guy in the lime light which was just so not Ron. She had even contemplated taking Monique on her last mission you know give Ron some time of let him rest. She had even planned to tell him but just couldn't bring herself to do it. They had been doing this together for so long it just didn't seem right saving the world alone.

Her eyes glazed over as she stared into her locker holding her school books tight to her chest when the screen suddenly buzzed to life as the rather large yet now muscular young African American super genius' face appeared on the computer screen with a distressed look on his face. Well ok not that distressed, but as distressed as he usually was.

"What's the sitch Wade?" She spoke shaking her head casting away the hundreds of thoughts that had been clogging up her mind since the whole week began. She watched Wade whilst placing her school books onto the lower shelf of the usual blue locker, with many villainous pictures pinned to the back of the locker door.

"Bad news I'm afraid…" The boy genius replied as he began to explain the distressing situation to the teen hero before he was cut of by the approaching blonde haired freckled scruffy looking teenager with a naked mole rat standing upon his shoulder leaning against the young man's neck.

"Hey Wade. You know you ever noticed how Wade never calls us just to say hi. Or or! How it's always you he calls, you know I'm here to!" The young man began trailing of lost in what he was saying as he continued to think out loud as the usual Ron Stoppable did.

"Ron!" Kimberly Anne Possible moaned as her arms fell helplessly to her side. She knew once her best friend started there was little anyone could do that could stop him. Though to be honest he had been doing it a lot less lately oddly enough, he was found more often training hard in the gym, and even to Kim's utter shock found practicing Kung Fu, which was just so not Ron. Indeed times had gotten strange over the years.

"Like how he never calls just to invite us to bueno nachos. Come to think of it! We've never even seen him in person before! How do we know this is the real Wade!?!" He gasped as he finally realized the horrible truth or well so he thought anyway. He leaned in close examining every inch of the Wade on the screen if that was even his real name.

"How do we even know that Wade's real, he might be a robot. Or, or, A hologram, a sinister plot to entrap us. Come to think of it I'm surprised no evil take over the world 'genius' has tried that." Ron now had an increasingly vacant stare as he continued to speak his mind. Kim grinned slightly watching Ron in the corner of her eye it was good to see the old him, he had been so different lately it was good to see the old 'Ronness' showing itself.

A few moments later.

"Well Kim, how? I demand we make a secret password!" Ron finally finished raising his arm into the air after several minutes of ranting thinking he was truly onto something. Kim could only sigh with a slight grin in the corner of her mouth. How she trusted him with her life she had no idea whatsoever, but if she was ever in a bind there was only one person she would want helping her.

"So what is it this time?" The cheerleader Kim Possible asked regaining her focus turning away from Ron Stoppable her best friend and side kick looking now at the screen with her usual determined stare.

"Dr Drakken and Shego have broken into the west Middleton museum. It seems their after the scroll of lost hope." Wade began as he typed away on his state of the art computer located in his mum's basement and God only knows where that was.

"Of course the ancient scroll of something or other!" Ron butted in rubbing his chin with an overly serious look upon his face as Rufus his pet mole rat mimicked his look standing perched upon his shoulder.

"And that is?" She asked staying focused on the new mission at hand and not on Ron's well… buffoonery as it where, which she couldn't help grinning at it was good to have the old Ron back.

"Yeah, you know just for Kim. What is the scroll thingy?" Ron asked narrowing his eyes still keeping that serious face acting like he was actually listening when in truth he was thinking on what he was going to have for lunch which had to be Bueno nachos of course.

"Just bringing it up… Now. It's an old map said to lead to an ancient temple of magic, which is the final resting place of… the well the Excalibur?" Wade read the information aloud to the teen hero and her partner; well in truth her side kick though Ron never did like that title but had learnt to live with it until recently that is. This Excalibur story however sounded much like an old legend if he where being completely honest to himself.

"Wait Excalibur isn't that the…" The teen hero replied rather confused at why a mad scientist like Dr Drakken would be trying to find something that obviously just couldn't be real, but hey stranger things have happened. Dr Drakken was the more technical kind of guy, more direct upon his approach to taking over the world which he naturally always failed at.

"Right, the sword Arthur pulled from the stone or received from the lady of the lake, whatever version you know." Kim rubbed her chin thinking hard for a second. Ron quickly saw his opening, and went to speak his mind once more as Kim quickly covered her hand over his mouth barely cutting him of in time. As much as she liked the old Ron back sometimes you had to head him of at the pass.

"We're on it Wade."

Meanwhile at the west Middleton museum.

"Shego!"

Ah the mad doctor was screaming her name once again couldn't they just steal it already and get out of here before little miss perfect shows up as she always did. How hard was it to break into glass, I mean glass. Yes Dr Drakken truly had hit an all time low with this latest scheme of 'brilliance'

"Shego!" The blue skinned crazed scientist known as none other then Dr Drakken screamed once more for his as he liked to think of her 'assistant' though he was smart enough to know not to tell her that, why she would quite literally rip him limb from limb and he'd much rather avoid that. The green and black jumpsuit clad Raven haired, green skinned beauty replied.

"What is it Dr D, your plan failed already or have you just forgot to steal whatever it is where here for?" Shego replied in a slightly sarcastic and bored tone which was quite normal for her. She sat on the table in the middle of the large room examining her nails rather intently which was a habit of hers while listening to another of Dr D's ranting. The room around her was quite large with several stone pillars running around the outer edges of the room. Meanwhile just a little in front of the table where white stoned steps leading up to the centre piece, the scroll with glass around the item and a security code needed to open it.

"Why are you stealing a piece of old paper, have you ran out of your own trying to plan another take over the world scheme? They do have places you can buy paper you know." She wasn't paying to much attention to the mad scientist who was examining the scroll vividly whilst rubbing his chin clearly deep in thought. Shego knew she was just here to take care of little Miss Hero who always arrived right on queue. But hey this didn't mean she couldn't mock Dr D's latest scheme did it? That was the best part of working with 'Drew' well that and the money.

"No Shego, this is the scroll that will lead us to the ancient temple of even more ancient magic. Using this magic I will create an unstoppable army of Magitek robots to take over the world!" With that Drakken let out a typical wail of evil laughter that Shego sighed at. Though you really had to admire how he always got right back up after every one of his schemes was foiled. Damn though she had set him of again and oh how he just loved to rant about his truly ingenious schemes, that was the best part of the whole taking over the world business the good doctor believed. And this scheme was his best yet, not even Kim Possible could get in his way this time.

"Magitek?" Shego asked rather bluntly as she tried to control herself from laughing, still paying a remarkably lot attention to her nails, which where as green as her skin. Due to the meteorite which changed her skin colour and also gave her super powers which she used to obtain a remarkably large salary from Dr Drakken. Indeed times where good except for that little miss perfect Kim Possible but hey she couldn't complain.

"… Magic, technology. Magic – technology, Magitek." Dr Drakken replied saying it rather slowly so his foolish side kick could understand and with an annoyed look on his face. One thing she never quite understood was the names he used, they where always so pathetic, and that was putting it nicely.

"So why not just call them magic robots then genius?" How she loved to get under Drakken's skin like this, it had to be one of her favourite pass times alongside beating the hell out of Kim of course that was definitely up there.

"Because Shego, how else am I supposed to instil fear into the hearts of everyone without a freighting name which people don't understand. Besides Magitek sounds so much better." Drakken turned to face his sidekick now on his last nerve, his side kick who happened to be on a stupidly large pay check. And also happened to be one of the best fighters money could buy and never ever failed him, except for when Kim Possible was involved how she single handidly stopped his every plan still confused him.

"Well then just smash the glass and grab the damn scroll, jeez it's not hard, even for a 'genius' like you Dr D." Well this was Drakken she was talking about she thought as she put a finger on her dark green lips thinking back on the many moments Drakken had completely messed things up. His most annoying habit had to be placing rather large red self-destruct buttons in his secret lairs which always ended up in ruins from Kim Possible.

"Because it's not that simple! I'm using my neural code decipher - er to break the code" Dr D was becoming increasingly annoyed at her now. I mean why couldn't she ever appreciate his genius like other people did. Ok so there weren't many other people who appreciated his genius, or rather no one but that was all about to change when he took over the world. The least she could do though was encourage him was that so much to ask, from Shego though it was.

"Then why has it taken over ten minutes? The princess will be here any minute. You know what move over and let me get the stupid thing." Shego retorted as she placed her hands on the table ready to push of onto the ground and deal with everything herself as she usually had to.

"No! My machine, therefore I get to use it, besides only a genius can work a complex piece of machinery like this." Dr D grinned as he continued to ague with Shego.

"Then why are you doing it?" She finally pushed herself of the table turning to Drakken. She was starting to get seriously bored now, not that annoying Dr D wasn't fun but the princess was late and she was ready to put that annoying goody, goody in her place once and for all.

As if on queue a large smash crashed from above as non other then the teen hero Kim Possible came spinning down landing right in front of Shego wearing her usual mission garb of black top and the green baggy pants, her read hair dropping down past her shoulders gracefully.

"Ah Kimmie just in time for pain." Shego grinned evilly as she clenched her fist the green flamed plasma immediately erupting around them.

Again as if on queue Ron Stoppable crashed through the roof above before landing on his back beside Kim moaning in pain much to the amusement of the villainess.

"Well, well if it isn't the buffoon." Shego said unable to hold in the laughter as she watched the blonde haired young man lying on his face.

"Ron stand back, I'll handle this." And with that Kim immediately dropped into her stance preparing for the battle against Shego. It's time she took care of her once and for all, and make sure she got back for dinner, it was family night according to her parents much to Kim's annoyance.

"Not this time KP." Ron replied coolly and confidently as he stepped in front of his long time friend after managing to recover from his fall. He put his hands on his waist looking towards the oddly beautiful woman standing in front of him, crushing the thought from his mind he prepared himself. He had spent to long playing the dumb side kick to Kim, the guy who no one ever remembered this time it was the Ron-stars turn to be the hero.

"It's time for the Ron-man to step up, just keep out of the way KP I got this." He waved his hand in front of Kim as if to tell her to stop. Kim could only put her head in her hands sighing, this was exactly what she was worried about maybe it was time for Monique.

"Look Ron just…" Before she could reason with her long time friend Ron cut her of with a surprisingly menacing tone in his usual voice.

"No KP, it's time for the Ron man to be the man." Ron pushed his chest out in an attempt to look tough. He had, had enough of being the sidekick never being noticed never even being remembered it was time for him to claim what he deserved time for him to be the hero for once.

Well, well Shego thought to herself maybe Team Possible wasn't as stable as it once had been. Perhaps she could break up the team once and for all and finish of Kim Possible.

Kim hung her head in shame, she knew Ron was about to taste pain but hey maybe it'll knock some sense into him once and for all, he had been acting like this for a while now and it was time he was put in his place as it where. After all she was the teen hero who had saved the world god knows how many times not him right?

"Shego! What's taking so long?" Drakken screamed to his long time partner turning away from the small portable machine that was strapped to the control device on the glass covering the scroll.

The villainess stared blankly for a second as if not believing what she was seeing.

"It seems the buffoon is going to fight?" She managed to get out as she continued to laugh at the sight. Finally he was getting a back bone and getting out of the shadow of the princess.

"Who is?" Drakken stared at Ron as if not knowing who he was.

"Have I seen you before?" The villain queried as he squinted at the new guy pondering on his appearance placing a finger of his blue chin.

"… The guy who helps foil your plans? Side kick? Stops you nearly everyday?" Ron hung his arms to the floor sighing, this was exactly what he meant even the mad scientist didn't know him. Yet he had spent nearly every week stopping his plans. It was time he got some attention for once some gratitude for what he did after all he was part of this team to.

Drakken stared back blankly then shuck his head, before finally speaking once more.

"Shego deal with this buffoon already we don't have all day!" Dr D ordered his 'side kick'

"Finally, prepare to feel pain." The raven haired beauty grinned sinisterly at Ron.

"Stand back KP, the Ron factor is on the case!" Ron cracked his neck as he charged head on at the villainess. This was exactly what he had been training for, it was time to show KP what Ron was all about, time to step up and be the hero.

"Seems your idiotic buffoon is finally getting a…" Before she could finish however there was a loud crash above as a piece of the roof came crashing down towards them. Ron who was still running towards his enemy lost in his thoughts of how he was going to defeat the deadly Shego, not even noticing the large slab of rock which crashed down onto him knocking him to the ground with a loud thud.

Shego burst out laughing uncontrollably falling to her hands and knees punching the floor laughing at the scene.

"O that was golden, do it again, you have to do that again." She barely got out as she continued to laugh as the helpless Ron who was obviously still in the side kick role.

Kim finally got back into the game as she shook her head at the nearly unconscious Ron.

"Alright, guess it's my turn Shego." With that she jumped into the air with incredible grace landing right in front of her arch nemesis dropping immediately into stance with a slight grin.

"Why don't you just lie down and play dead Kimmie before you get hurt." Shego to grinned as she reignited her plasma before swinging for the cheerleader. Quickly Kim sprung into action flipping over the fast Shego.

"Green and black is so last season." Kim replied as Shego spun round snarling.

"Don't count me out just yet!" Ron was back on his feet and sprinted towards Shego moments away from tackling her from behind.

"This coming from the great fashion don't Kim Possible." A grin curled onto her lips as she back flipped over the unsuspecting Ron who crashed into Kim and into a large pillar just behind her.

"Sorry KP!" Ron immediately apologized as the pillar began to swing precariously before smashing into the next pillar behind that one. Within moments each pillar was crashing into the next destroying the supports to the very room and crushing countless priceless historical objects. If they didn't move quick they would to be crushed thanks to none other then Ron.

A laugh came from the scrolls direction as the mad scientist Dr Drakken waved it about laughing his usual sinister one.

"Great, see you around Kimmie." Shego retorted as she flipped over to her 'boss' catching the rope and ascending to the hover car above them.

"You think you're all that, Kim Possible but your not!" Drakken shouted down towards the rather annoyed cheerleader who had thwarted his every single take over the world attempt, moments later they where but a speck in the gap of the roof.

Kim however had bigger problems as the roof began to buckle crashing to the ground all around them. Grabbing the confused Ron she darted for the exit barely jumping through the waiting door as the stone crashed into the doorway covering the entrance to the once splendid room.

Picking herself of the ground and dusting herself down she turned to her foolish best friend Ron annoyed at his sheer stupidity.

"What the hell where you thinking!?!" The red haired hero screamed at her 'partner' once she had finally caught her breath.

"I was just trying to be the hero for once." Ron replied copying Kim's tone.

"Next time just stay out of the way and let me handle it ok." Kim realised she was being a bit harsh on her best friend but he was way out of line, he should of known there was no way he could take on Shego and now they had gotten away because of his foolish gambit.

Ron turned his back on her crossing his arms as his pet Rufus the naked mole rat jumped up onto his shoulder watching the two best friends argue with each other, helpless to do anything to stop them.

"You know what I can't work with you, when your acting like this maybe you should take a break." Kim spoke before thinking, immediately regretting what she said, she didn't want him to take a break not at all saving the world was nothing without Ron there to help her. But lately he was just so damn frustrating to work with it wasn't even like this was the first time it had been happening for weeks now. Maybe it was for the best that he took a break from saving the world.

Ron went to respond but was quickly cut of by Kim who merely shuck her head disappointed at Ron. She took out her Kimunicator as Ron was left to feel the shame of his actions. Was this it for Team Possible? It was amazing to believe how long they had been going, to be honest he never realised that it would have to end someday. But surely it wasn't ending today was it and it wasn't even like it was his fault he was just trying to help, maybe Kim should get of her high horse and stop judging people for once.

He turned to his pet Rufus who was still dumbfounded at the scene

"Kim didn't really mean it; I mean she was just frustrated the bad guys had gotten away. Yeah that's right just annoyed at herself for letting them escape, she'll be feeling better in the morning. I hope…"
