Chapter 2

Kim and Shego sat down at the table with Ron and Yori. Each was passed a menu by the waiter. Ron hadn't been lying. It actually was a pretty good restaurant.

"So, how have things been going?" Shego asked, directing the question more at Yori than Ron.

"Oh, things have been quite well. It has been much easier since my husband learned to control his transformation." Yori said, smiling.

While at Yamanouchi, Ron learned that his tail and extra strength was actually a form of transformation that experienced warriors of the mystical monkey power were granted with long ago. Of course, it was difficult to control and would require extra training. He had recently achieved control over it.

"Yeah, it's a lot more comfortable on missions when he's not a monkey for the entire time, Kim said laughing.

"Hey, I'm right here, you know. And I'm not a monkey. I just happen to have the ability to grow a tail when need be." Ron said, feeling left out of the conversation.

The entire group had a good laugh, then ordered their food when the waiter came back.

Before they could begin eating, the Kimmunicator chimed in with its trademark beep. Kim reached into her purse and pulled out the Kimmunicator, switching it on as she did.

"What's the sitch, Wade?" Kim asked the fifteen year old super genius.

"There's a break in in a museum in Europe." Wade said, not looking up from his computer.

Over the years, Wade had finally hit a growth spurt. He had shot up a couple of feet and he grew into his weight. He now stood at five feet nine inches and was relatively thin.

"Why am I being called in on this one, Wade? Shouldn't the local authorities be able to take care of that?" Kim asked, annoyed that Wade had interrupted their meal.

"Reports are coming in that the local authorities already tried. There's no one left to send in from the local authorities."

"Alright, call GJ and have them pick us up at my place in an hour."

"You got it." Wade said as the Kimmunicator clicked off.

The group had the food packaged up for them and payed the tab. They quickly left for Kim apartment. Ron and Yori grabbed their mission clothes from the trunk of their car and went inside with Kim and Shego. Kim, Ron, and Yori took turns getting dressed. Ron and Yori went outside to wait for the ride after they were done getting dressed. Shego had gotten herself a cup of coffee.

"This should be done soon. I'll be back as soon as I can." Kim said before giving Shego a quick kiss and heading out the door.

The GJ plane landed outside and the three freelance agents climbed aboard, mentally preparing themselves for their mission.

Two hours later in a museum in Europe

Kim, Ron, and Yori all snuck quietly into the museum, stepping over the scores of unconscious guards and police officers. Ron had already transformed into his empowered form, his tail trailing behind him slightly. All three were thinking the same thing.

One person did all of this?

There were bullet casings all over the ground, but not a single bullet hole was present in the entire museum.

A shadow passed by them, and all three of them whirled around. They heard a sound coming from the room at the end of the hall. Kim, Ron, and Yori moved slowly down the hall to the door. It was labeled "Priceless Antiquities". They opened the door.

A man in a black trenchcoat was walking through the glass cases, examining each one in turn. Ron, using some of his ninja stealth, snuck into the room. As he snuck into the room, the man stopped and raised his head, as if he knew something was going on. Kim and Yori followed soon after.

Ron snuck up behind the man, with Kim and Yori close behind him. Ron decided it was time to act and leapt at the man with a punch.

"Stoppable." The man said as he turned.

Ron seemed to stop in midair, merely floating. He struggled, trying to reach the ground, but some invisible force was holding him there, a couple of feet off of the ground. Ron looked up to see who the man was, but his face was hidden in shadow, effectively obscuring it.

Ron's eyes widened suddenly as he saw the man's eyes, which were glowing gold.

J-Go? No. NO! He's dead!

The man's eyes flashed suddenly and an invisible force hit Ron so hard that he went flying back into the two women who had followed him into the room. All three were pushed back into the wall, not prepared for what had happened. Kim and Yori were knocked unconscious. Ron quickly made sure that they were alright, then went back on the offensive, trying to hit the man with a punch. The man didn't even try to dodge the attack as it hit him directly in the head. The man was pushed back slightly, but simply shrugged off the attack. The man suddenly lashed out with a punch that wasn't as fast as his own, but at that range, it didn't matter. Ron was not able to avoid the punch as it connected with his gut. The wind was immediately knocked out of him as his body was thrown by the force of the punch. Ron landed slightly to the left of Kim and Yori, too hurt to stand back up.

The man turned back to his work. He walked amongst the glass cases, examining the contents of each, shaking his head, and moving on to the next one. He was about to leave when one of the items caught his eye. As he walked towards the priceless item, he looked it over, smiling slightly. When he reached the glass case, his eyes flashed gold and the case exploded outward. The man reached in and pick up the item, careful not to damage it. He took it to a small briefcase at the end of the room and placed it inside. Picking up the briefcase, the man quietly left the museum, leaving Ron, Kim, and Yori to pick up the pieces.

Kim's apartment

Shego had fallen asleep on the couch. The T.V. was on and it was tuned to the news. They had been showing an up to date report on the situation in the museum.

"Team Possible was sent in nearly two hours ago. After which, there was what sounded like a vicious struggle. After a few minutes, the museum went silent and has been that way ever since. We're now receiving reports that some of the special forces have assembled a team that will be going in to see what might have happened." The newscaster said as a small tactical unit entered the museum behind her.

The squad quickly spread out and searched the museum, looking for any signs of either Team Possible or the person who had broken in. As they entered the priceless antiquities section, one of the men spotted someone in the corner. It was Ron Stoppable. He was barely conscious. He pointed to another one of the walls and the squad member followed to where he was pointing. Kim and Yori were laid back against the wall, unconscious.

Shego awaked slightly. She was about to go back to sleep, but what she saw on the news woke her up quickly. Kim, Ron, and Yori were being wheeled out of the museum on stretchers and loaded into ambulances.

Shego quickly found her own Kimmunicator, which happened to be a lovely shade of green, and got Wade on.

"Wade…"

"I already know. I was watching. And to answer your next question, she's being transferred to a hospital nearby. She'll be there in about an hour. You can visit her then." Wade said before she could say anything else.

"Thanks, Wade." Shego said before she shut off the Kimmunicator.

Shego drove to the hospital and waited the hour out there. When she heard the sound of a chopper setting down, Shego got up and asked where Kim's room was. Shego rushed there before the clerk could finish her sentence.

When Shego opened the door, the doctor was just finishing checking on Kim.

"Is she alright?" Shego asked quickly.

"Yes, yes. Calm down. She'll be fine. Just a knock to the noggin is all. She should be up within a few hours." The doctor said before leaving Shego in the room.

Shego left to find the others. She found Yori's room, but she was unconscious as well. When she found Ron's room, she had to wait while the doctor's finished taking their notes and tests. Ron had been hit with the worst of it. A few of his ribs were shattered and he was drifting in and out of consiousness. Shego stood next to his bed and waited until he opened his eyes.

"Ron, what happened?" Shego asked, running out of patience.

Ron looked as if a ghost had attacked him.

"It was…him. If I hadn't…seen it… I wouldn't believe it. Those eyes. Those gold eyes." Ron said in broken breaths before he passed out again.

"Gold eyes." Shego said, her mind filling with memories from the past.

No. No! It can't be him! Psygo killed him! How can he be back?

Shego's temper, which had waned in the past, few years sparked again and she grew angry. Angrier than she had ever been.

Psygo sacrificed himself to kill that bastard and he won't even STAY dead! I'll kill him myself if I have to. He's not going to ruin my life this time. Not again!
