Chapter 2

The Big Departure

Across the bare wasteland of the dry desert, all was silent through the dark, clear sky as the bright stars shined through the darkness, revealing all that lay through the landscape. As peaceful and quiet things were, the moment was cut off when a loud, echoing sound could be heard over the horizon. A figure then started to become into focus above the horizon as the sound became more loud and clear. The figure started to appear as a common blue scooter, coming at fast speeds than the average bike, as flames came firing out of the exhaust pipe. As it became more closed and focused, there showed two people sitting on the fast moving vehicle. One was a red-haired teen girl, with a look of pure determination on her face, with bits of anger in her mood. The second was a blonde teen boy, with the same amount of determination in his face as well. Kim and Ron were on their way across the desert to complete a mission to stop Dr. Drakken and his evil plans.

"Wade said that Drakken's lair should be about five miles east from our position". Kim stated after a while of silence. As she pulls out her kimmunicator and presses a button to force connect with wade. "So what's the sitch Wade?" She said with a tone of seriousness in her voice.

"According to my research, Drakken and Shego have been steeling and building components from many of the best top science facilities in the country over the past few hours." Wade was stating as pictures of the different stolen components popped up on Kim's screen.

"Any idea on what Drakken and Shego plan on using the stolen components for Wade?" Ron asked in the same type of serious tone in Kim's voice from before.

Wade began to punch in some keys almost at the speed of light. "Now by some of my research and punching some numbers together, I came up with some solutions." Wade pressed a button on his keyboard and a large diagram of a device showed up on the screen. "Apparently, the devices stolen were key pieces in specially designed machines that scientists have been working on to transform any item into a different structure with similar properties." A video showed a device morphing an apple into an actual, eatable orange.

"Knowing Drakken and Shego, their going to be planning something big with those components to take over the world." Ron interrupted in the conversation as he sped off even faster towards their coming target. "We're coming up on our destination KP." Ron stated as a large looking laboratory was coming closer into view.

Now Kim's look of determination turned more serious than possible. In a fit of frustration in her voice, "Let's get this over with!" her voice practically hissing those words out of her lips.

Kim and Ron began sneaking around the premises, leaving the scooter parked at the side of the building out of eyesight. Both searched for a way in, Ron notices a door and calls Kim over to check it out. Testing how sturdy the door was, it proved to be in vain, the door wouldn't budge one bit. They then tried to figure out another way in, when Kim soon had an idea at hand. She motioned for her belt and pulled out a grappling hook, and Ron got the same idea as he reached for his grappling hook.

Once both were on the roof, they searched for a roof window, and sure enough, they noticed a window open leading inside. Once inside, both began their search for Drakken and the device, while keeping their guards up for Shego and any booby traps lying around. They both went through a dim hallway that had many doors all through the walls. They checked every door very carefully, but finding that the doors let to an empty room or broom closet. The door at the end of the hallway was the last door in the building, making both Kim and Ron realizing that Drakken and Shego were in there with the machine. With a signal to go from Kim, Ron opened the handle and both ran inside.

Kim and Ron entered into a room of pitch black darkness; both had been trying to focus their eyes while at the same time searching for a light switch, and keeping their guards up. As they begin to feel that their eyes adjusting well to the darkness, all the light in the room automatically turned on, causing Kim and Ron temporary blindness. Once they were able to get used to the light, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind. They turned around almost violently to face their arch rival, Dr. Drakken, along with his trusted partner, Shego. Both Shego and Drakken had an evil grin growing on their faces as they studied the teen heroes.

"Welcome, Kim Possible. We have been expecting you" Drakken spoke still holding his evil grin on his face.

Shego suddenly stepped in to interrupt. "Of course we were expecting her. She shows up to every one of your evil schemes." This made Drakken very annoyed, causing him to loose his evil grin.

"Shut it Shego!" Drakken squints his eyebrows with his fingers to help gain back his focus. He turns back to the teen heroes with his evil grin back on his face. "We're glad you're here. For now you get to see my newest invention at work." Drakken reaches over to a dashboard and pressed a big red button.

Moments after doing so, something was shaking the floor right in front of the teen heroes, thus causing them to jump back in surprise. At the same time, a large part of the floor opened into a platform and a strange contraption could be seen in the darkness of the hole. Before having a chance to see the specifics of the machine, the figure soon started to rise at such a high altitude, almost crashing into the roof. Kim and Ron could only look and stare in astonishment at the huge machine that its purpose was unknown.

Drakken decided to break the silence. "My newest invention, The Dimensional Time Warp Inducer," He took in a moment to marvel at his work "and with this new device in my hands, I can bend the very fabric of time and space into my own twisted, evil image."

Drakken reached over to the dashboard and pressed a green button, thus causing the huge machine to charge up, with jolts flying out from the metal openings. Having hearing the charging and spiking jolts from the machine, Kim and Ron snapped out of their shocked state and charged for the offensive. Kim was taking the lead, following Ron from behind, both moving at high speeds. Shego decided to react to their assault, jumping from her spot high into the air, and landing right in front of Kim, causing Kim and Ron to stop abruptly.

"Ron, you go stop the Dimensional Inducer, I'll take care of Shego!" Kim took her famous fighting stance while keeping a serious face on Shego.

"I'm on it KP!" He was running at the machine all at the same time he was finishing his statement at max speed.

Kim and Shego were staring each other dead on for the past few seconds. Shego was the first to stop this whole staring contest, as she charged over to Kim with her plasma hands ready for the strike, luckily Kim was ready with a counter. She dodged at the last second, causing Shego to launch forward past Kim. Regaining her balance, Shego turned her attention back towards Kim with annoyance in her face. Although a second too late, Shego was caught off guard with a right uppercut to her jaw, sending her a good ten feet. It took Shego a few seconds to get back up to her feet, rubbing her chin from the impact.

Shego gave a hard stare towards Kim for a few seconds, full of surprise to the fact of the hit. She then gave a slight grin on her face. "Well, look who is starting to fight a little dirty today", Shego straightened herself up, "what got you into a major fuss?"

Kim got back into her fighting stance, giving a cold stare and a tone of frustration. "Let's just say that you and Drakken sure picked the wrong day to hatch up another one of your evil plans." Kim trying to say this with as much calm she could muster.

At the same time, she jumps into the air with a forward body spin extending her leg to crash on top of Shegos head. Barely able to react fast enough, she raises her arms up in hopes of blocking, causing the kick to come crashing down hard, barely able to stop the move in its tracks. Ceasing the opportunity, Kim then thrusts her other leg straight towards Shegos stomach area. Not being able to react at all due to her hands already occupied, Shego was kicked right in the stomach, causing great pain, and sending her landing hard on the wall.

During the fight with Kim and Shego, Ron was running straight for the Dimensional Inducer that with Drakken, thinking that this would be a piece of cake. Finally reaching the machine, he was readying himself for any kind of funny business that could happen at any minute.

He faced himself in Drakken's direction, "Ok Drakken, give up now, hand over the device and nobody gets hurt", stating in a serious, yet calm tone.

Drakken merely smirked, "Oh really? And who is going to stop me? It's certainly not you, the buffoon", almost yelling the last word in use of sarcasm.

Ron got very annoyed at this comment, "The name's RON STOPPABLE!" Ron screamed his name as he charged at his arch enemy, thrusting his fist straight towards Drakken's blue face.

Feeling that this was going to hurt very badly, Drakken dodged almost at the last minute, almost not realizing that Ron was now heading towards the dashboard that controlled the machine. Realizing too late, Ron's fist smashes right into the computer software, causing electrical surges to fly around everywhere. The dashboard then made a loud explosion sound, loud enough to get the attention Kim and Shego away from their fight. They turned around in time to see the Dimensional Time Warp Inducer beginning to blow out some circuits from every part of its surface, coming apart at the scene.

Kim could see Drakken and Ron running towards them in the means of getting away from the explosion. "Ron, what on earth is going on?" She asked in a shocked tone when Ron caught up with Kim.

"I, I accidentally punched through the master controls", a bit of shock in his face, "and well, you can see the results of that problem." This brought a bit of shock to both Kim and Shego as well.

Shego then chose to interrupt, "Wow, and here I thought that Dr. D was the one who messed everything up as usual", once again causing Drakken to get really annoyed.

"Shego, why do you always do that?" A bit of stubbornness in the mans voice.

"No time Dr. D, we got to get out of here before that thing blows." Shego pointed towards the collapsing load of junk that was about to blow, causing everyone to realize what to do. However, Drakken had other things planned.

With an evil grin crawling on his face, looking at the teen heroes, "Well Kim Possible, things may not have gone as I planned, but al least I can get rid of you once and for all as this explosion puts you out of the picture."

Sounding triumphant, Drakken reaches into his back pocket to retrieve a remote control to press a button that caused a flyer pod hovering over them. He then pressed another button, which then all types of exits were sealed off completely, from the larges door to the liniest drainage pipe. Drakken and Shego both jumped onto the flyer pod, hovering underneath the only exit not yet sealed, looking down at the doomed teen heroes, having evil smiles of victory on their faces.

"Farewell Kimberly Ann Possible", Drakken notices a mood of shock upon Kim's face, "You had always thought that you were all that, but know you'll be no more!"

With his final statement, they both fled through the escape hatch. The moment they flew through the hole, it was sealed tight just like the others, leaving the teen heroes to there doom. Both were still very shocked at what had just happened right in front of there eyes, for they felt for sure that it was truly the end. Finally, after moments of silence, Kim and Ron look each other in the eyes for possibly the last time. Both noticed bits of tears in each others eyes, each coming closer to the other, embracing each other in a tight, final hug, waiting for the moment that they knew was their last. Finally, moments later, the giant machine begins to glow an intense glow of pure white, spreading across the room, filling every shadow with light. The light finally reached our heroes, engulfing them in its intense light. Then nothing could be seen as everything began to fade into pure darkness.
