I'm actually kind of surprised at the support I've had to continue this story, even though I had to do a bit of a re-write. So anyway, I hope y'all like where this is going…

I would like to thank all who reviewed the Chapter 1 re-write: CajunBear73, TheRedKommie, FlyingSquirrel2010, Darev, Reader101w, and Thomas Linquist. You guys ROCK!

First let me apologize for something. My timing was a little off in my rewrite of Chapter 1. (I hate it when that happens) This story DOES occur after the Lowardian attack, so please disregard the 3-month comment by Betty concerning the Pardon given to Drakken and Shego. That occurred the same day that they were given the medal in the "Graduation" episode.

Disclaimer: I'm lazy, so see previous chapter...

Chapter 2

Flashback to Seven Months previous…

"Kim!" Ron shouted as the lair started its Self-Destruct Sequence. "We gotta get out of here! Shego pressed the Self-Destruct on their way out!"

"I know Ron!" Kim stumbled as another explosion rocked the lair, cracking the walls around them. "But every exit has been sealed off, and I don't see any way out! There's a window about Fifty feet above us, but I lost my grapple gun, and we didn't bring the Jet-Packs!"

"Do you have a parachute or anything like that on you?" Ron asked, as the roof started to crumble and rain pieces of cement over them.

"I've got my mini-chute for emergencies, but what good is that going to…" Kim stopped what she was saying when Ron grabbed her by the waist of her pants near her lower back, and her collar at the base of her neck.

Twisting her head around Kim yelled at boyfriend. "Ron… What are you doing?"

"Hang on Kim…" He said with his 'serious face', and Kim knew that her boyfriend was either going to do something very stupid, or very brave. She just didn't realize that it would be both. "I'm going to get you out of here. I never figured out how to levitate like Sensei, but I can sure as heck throw like nobodies business."

Ron brought his head forward to where Kim had hers twisted around, and gave her a strong determined kiss. "I love you Kim… Now HANG ON!"

Ron spun around twice while holding onto his girlfriend, and on the second spin he literally tossed her up and through the window that was located fifty feet above them. Sure enough, his aim was spot-on, and after somewhat recovering from being thrown in this manner, Kim straightened herself out and literally sailed through the window like Superman.

As soon as her forward momentum started to slow down, which was about 200 feet from the building and about 300 feet in the air, Kim pulled the ripcord of her emergency chute. It definitely slowed her decent down, but not quite as much as a full-sized parachute would have. As a result she had to release the chute just before landing and bleed off her momentum by landing at an angle and then rolling about 15 feet.

After performing this 'little' maneuver, Kim knew she was going to be quite sore later. She then immediately jumped up and started to run back towards the lair to hopefully help out Ron. She had only run for a few yards when she saw the lair completely collapse in on it self.

"Oh Ron… no…" Was all Kim could say in shock, and she dropped to her knees and began to cry.

When GJ arrived, they found Kim mindlessly pulling at the debris with bloodied hands, trying to dig through the rubble to find her boyfriend. When they tried to take her to the Jump-Jet to leave, the red head immediately became combative.

"No! Let… me… go! I have to save Ron! He threw me clear of the building before… before it collapsed, so I have to FIND HIM! Don't you UNDERSTAND? He saved my life! Now I have to save HIS!"

It took about five GJ agents to finally restrain the teen hero, but not before she had bloodied a few noses and broke at least one jaw, the jaw of one William Du. They had even tried a Stun-Watch, but it had no effect. It took none other than Dr. Elizabeth Director to put her face right into Kim's, and slap her to calm the girl down.

…x x x x…

Approximately five days later, about one hundred yards from the collapsed lair, a stone mysteriously lifted as if on a hinge, and out crawled a young blond boy. He was dirty, scrapped, bloody, and appeared to be only about half alive. He stumbled back towards the lair only a few feet before he collapsed into some over-grown bushes. The GJ Agents had already packed up and left only one hour previously, so no one was there to see him. Except for two other individuals, who were waiting for GJ to finally leave the site.

Drakken and Shego took Ron and flew him back to a secondary lair about a hundred miles away, and tended to his wounds.

After being unconscious for nearly a week, Ron finally came to in a strange room.

…x x x x…

"So… the Buffoon is finally awake." Drakken's voice boomed over a speaker inside the room Ron had woke up in.

"D… Dr. Drakken?" Ron said as he sat up on the edge of the cot he had been sleeping on, and immediately put his head in his hands. "Whoa… I sat up too fast."

"Well at least you seem to have all your faculties, boy." Drakken said at a lower volume.

"My what?" Ron said, looking up at the speaker, and noticed a small camera mounted to the wall.

"You don't seem to have any brain trauma." The blue scientist said with an insolent tone.

"Let me out of here Drakken!" Ron said loudly, as he started to feel a little better. He then stood up and took a step closer to the camera. "You know people will be looking for me. Kim… will be looking for me."

"Oh, she already has." Another voice said, which Ron immediately recognized as Shego's. "And it appears that she has given up… After about 2 weeks of searching… but she has stopped. You're already forgotten about, Stoppable." The green villainess said and finished with a chuckle.

"I don't believe it." Ron said heatedly, while clenching his fists and glaring at the camera. "Kim would look for me until she found me. No matter how long it took."

"Ohh I'm feeling quite confident that they have given up on you." Dr. Drakken said. "I heard through the 'Villain Grapevine' that GJ has scaled back on searching for you. Apparently they have just listed you as… 'Missing in Action'. Even the scans from Kim Possible's Tech Guru have gone from an Active Mode to a Passive Mode."

Villains have a Grapevine? Ron thought and then started to look around the room in an attempt to figure out how to escape. His eyes finally landed on a door, and out of curiosity he tried the knob. Of course it was locked.

"Go ahead… try to break out. I wish to see… your reaction." Ron could almost hear the blue scientist gloating.

Centering himself by clasping his hands in front of him and steepling his index fingers, Ron started to slow his breathing. After about 30 seconds of breathing exercises, he brought his hands out to each side of himself, and then dropped back into an attack stance. He then brought his back foot forward in a kick aimed right next to the knob of the door.

Ron saw a bright white flash where his foot connected, and the kick literally shook the entire room, but the door held solid. He furrowed his brow a bit, and then lashed out with another kick to the same spot, but all he was rewarded with was the same result. A bright white flash, and the entire room shuddering.

"Ha-Ha Buffoon!" Drakken laughed over the speaker. "Try something else. Anything…"

The only other attack that Ron thought would be effective was something that Sensei had just barely started to teach him. It was a variant of the Lotus Attack that the elderly teacher had used against the Yono, but not near as powerful. But it should blow the door completely off of its hinges.

Ron walked over to the opposite side of the room from the door, and again brought his hands in front of him. But this time after 30 seconds of breathing, he raised a foot, circled his hands around, and brought them to his chest. He then brought his foot down, all the while thrusting his hands forward in what looked like a palm strike, but instead a blue energy was pulled from the center of his chest by his hands. This blue power shot out from Ron's palms in what appeared to be a ball of blue energy, and struck the door square in the center, creating a splash of color that seemed to be mixed with the same white flash he had seen when kicking the door. Again the room shook, albeit a bit more violent this time, but the door still held. This time Ron felt drained, and he dropped to his knees, breathing hard.

"Ha! It worked Shego! It worked! Did you SEE that? I KNEW I could figure out that Lowardian technology!" His voice paused, and then he said, not quite as loud, "What Shego? What are you pointing at? Yes, that's the control panel… and this is the button to talk… to… Stoppa… oops." Ron heard a click as the blue scientist released the button to cut off communication to the room.

From that day on, Ron kept trying to break out of his prison once every 2 to 3 days, each time trying to increase his power. He WOULD break out, no matter what. Kim was counting on him.

…x x x x…

7 Months later, Present Time…

Quickly the SUV accelerated, putting s little distance between them and their attackers, and Wade's face suddenly appeared on a small screen mounted in the center of the dash.

"Is everyone OK?" Were the first words out of the boy's mouth, and after a quick round of answers in the affirmative, Wade immediately went into his own version of 'Mission Mode'. "Good. You remember what I told you about the offensive capabilities of the vehicle Dr. Director?"

"Yes I do Wade." Was the terse response from the one-eyed woman as she continued to dodge bullets and laser fire. "I'm just a little busy right now trying not to become Swiss Cheese!"

"Kim… You're going to have to do this then." The young boy said looking over at the young red head. "See the toggle switch with a red cover to the right of the main screen?"

Immediately Kim saw what he was talking about. "Got it Wade…"

"Flip the cover of the switch up, and then flip the switch itself up as well. Then let the cover snap back over the switch." Kim followed Wade's instructions perfectly, and then everyone in the SUV heard a rumbling on top of the roof. "What you just heard was a combination of Hepheastus Technology and Centurion Technology. You now have a double barrel .50 caliber machine gun for defense. Kim… Drop the door to the Glove Compartment, and you will have a small screen appear with a joystick. With that you can control the weapon, and fire it with the pistol grip on the control stick."

Immediately Wade could see a look of concern cover Kim's features. "I'm sorry Kim, but you've now become the vehicles self defense. I know you don't like to kill, but you may have to, to survive this. Are you up to the task?" Breathing out hard while taking hold of the control stick, she nodded with a grim look on her face.

"What about me?" Shego said from the back. "I can fight too."

"Like we can trust you?" Kim shot back, and then saw a flyer get too close, so she aimed and squeezed the trigger. .50 caliber bullets lashed out and cut the small flying vehicle in half, spilling out some henchmen of Gemini's.

"Nice shot Kim" Dr. Director shouted. "Now keep those guys off our tail, and I'll try to drive us out of here!"

The vehicle shot forward, leaving the ground vehicles in the dust that had been firing lasers, and the flyers were kept at bay by Kim's firing skill of the roof mounted gun.

Wades voice suddenly came from the speakers. "Hey guys… I just picked up some communication between your attackers. I think you should hear this."

There was some static over the speakers, and then Motor Ed's voice could be heard. "Careful Dudes! Green Babe is in there!"

The voice of Gemini responded. "You heard Drakken you long-haired hippie! Dr. Drakken said he doesn't care about her. So I'm going to keep firing full salvos on that vehicle until it crashes and/or explodes!"

"Oh that's just whack, Dude. Seriously."

After the short conversation was over, Wade came back on the speakers. "Looks like Drakken is playing for keeps this time, and he's got some serious fire power. It looks like he's employed Dementor, Killigan, Jack Hench, and you heard Motor Ed and Gemini, to take you guys out.

"And it appears that Shego here has become expendable." Will du said behind them.

Kim looked back at their prisoner, and saw that Shego had a shocked look on her face. "I… I can't believe he would…" The green villainess started to say, and then her shocked look turned to one of anger. "Does this thing have a retractable roof?"

"What?" Dr. Director said, shooting a glance back at Shego. "Why would you…"

"If Drakken doesn't care whether I'm dead or not, I want to fight." The green woman said with a sneer. "Now open a window back here, and I can blast each one of those freaks!"

"Someone is coming up fast behind us Dr. Director!" Will shouted, while looking behind the vehicle through the back window.

Shego swung around and saw the vehicle quickly catch up to them. It was a large red vehicle with a huge engine in front, and what appeared to be jet engines on the side with flames painted on them.

"It's Motor Ed, and it looks like he's in that Kepler Car he built!" Shego said while trying to pull the shackles off her hands, and not succeeding.

"But… we returned that back to the Science Center…" Kim started to say.

"Well he must have stole it back!" Shego replied heatedly. "Now let me get a shot at him! It looks like he's aiming some kind of weapon at us!"

Kim's response was to whip the large roof mounted gun around and fire at the vehicle, but it appeared that the car was made with some kind of bullet proof material, as the bullets just bounced off.

"My gun is ineffective Betty!" Kim almost yelled, and a growl emanated from Dr. Director's throat.

"Fine… Make the shot count, Shego. But I'm not taking your cuffs off… yet." Betty then lowered the window the green woman was sitting next to.

Shego leaned out the window with her wrists still shackled, and let loose a double handed blast of her plasma, hitting the front of Motor Ed's car. The front main engine appeared to be severely damaged as smoke and steam immediately began to billow up from the vehicle. She let loose another blast, hitting the left front tire, blowing the wheel into pieces.

With the thrust of the Kepler Rocket engines still pushing the vehicle forward, the left front dug into the road, and then flipped end over end at least four times before landing on it's top and exploding into a huge fireball. Shego continued to lean out the window, staring at the destruction with a sneer on her face while they sped away, her long black hair whipping around her face.

"We've got more incoming!" Kim shouted, making Shego finally duck back in so the window could be raised back up. Just before the window completely shut, a laser blast made it through the small gap, and began to ricochet around the back of the vehicle. Kim and Dr. Director were both protected by the barrier between them and the back, but both Will and Shego were fair game for the blast of energy as it bounced off the treated interior.

Finally the blast stopped, and Kim uncoiled herself from staying back away from the barrier. She immediately said, "Are you guys OK back there?" When her eyes landed on Will, her heart sank.

Will Du was leaning back against the seat, his eyes wide with a look of shock, and he had a large blackened spot in the center of his chest. She could see his GJ uniform starting to soak up blood around the burned area of his body.

Kim was almost frantic. "Will's been hit! Let me back there, Betty! I've got to try and help him!"

Dr. Director was able to see Will through the rear-view mirror, and she knew he was a goner from the injuries he suffered. "Kim… I don't think…"

"Damnit Betty… I've got to try! Now lower this window!" With a grim look on her face, Betty Director pressed the button that lowered the barrier. She knew that since Shego had just blasted one of their pursuers, she wouldn't try anything at this point. Shego was now on the run from their attackers as well.

As soon as the window was low enough, Kim crawled into the back seat next to Will. She wanted to put pressure on where the laser blast had hit to try and stop the bleeding, but she didn't have anything to use. She wanted to try using her bare hand, but knew that wouldn't help. All she could do was sit there and watch William Du die. Tears started to fall down her face, as this was someone else that she couldn't save.

Will let out a small cough, and looked at Kim. "Don't… cry for me… Kimberly. (cough) I… prefer to… go out like this… fighting."

"No Will…" Kim said, trying to keep her voice from shaking. "Y… you're not going to die. You're… going to be all right. We… We'll get you to a hospital, and ever… everything will be OK. You'll see…" She placed a hand on one side of his face, and tried to give him a smile.

"K… Kimberly Possible…" Will said, struggling to speak, and Kim placed her ear closer to him so she could hear. "I… I was wrong… You are not… an amateurrrr." Will's head then fell to one side as his life passed from his body.

All Kim could do was drop her head and mourn the death of Will Du. Yeah, they had had their differences, but she had never once in her life wished anything like this on GJ's Number One Agent.

Next to Kim sat Shego, who watched this entire scene play out right beside her. She couldn't help but be touched, but yet she couldn't understand why. She had no feelings for Will Du, and definitely didn't feel anything for Kim Possible… but seeing Kim's reaction towards someone that she knew the young hero never got along well with… well, it touched her. And in a way that she did not want to acknowledge… at least not yet.

To be continued…


Well folks, hope y'all are enjoying this story now that it's being continued.

Now what do you think it is that Shego doesn't want to admit to?
