Love Of Balance: Pt 2
I.
It was unknown how the media got wind of Kim and Ron's break-up, but when they did, they fed on it like hyenas did a carcass. For one whole week, reporters bombarded the two teens with questions about what caused this tragedy, who started the fight, what were the reasons behind the break-up, and how it would effect their world saving. When questioned about the incident between them, all either teen would say was 'No comment', which only made the gossip circling them worse. With no facts to counter them, rumors had begun to spread that Kim and Ron had been secretly seeing a couple of old flames by the names of Josh and Tara behind each other's back. Even worse, some reporters thought that Kim had dropped Ron to pursue her arch-foe, Shego.
The break-up made the front page of every major newspaper, magazine, and tabloid with headlines like The Event We Thought Would Never Happen, The Biggest Tragedy Of Our Time, Is This The End Of Team Possible?, and What Will Become Of Our World Now?
Every news station had a field day with the incident, they called it the scoop of the century. Every evening at eight, it was the first topic discussed. To them, this was juicer than the alleged engagement of Nicky Nick of the O Boyz and Brittina. It certainly was enough to take everyone's minds off the rumors of MC Honey and Starlet coming out of the closet.
One thing was for sure: Everyone considered this bigger news than what was happening around the world. On the same night Drakken drove a wedge between Kim and Ron, the weather patterns began to drastically alter. For a solid week since Kim and Ron's puppet fight, massive storms occurred nonstop around the world. There were horrific hurricanes, deadly blizzards, earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, monsoons, tornadoes, sleet, hail storms, volcanoes, and other unnatural natural disasters occurring worldwide.
While fields. meadows, forests, jungles, small villages and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco were being devastated by lightning, coastlines all over North and South America were becoming submerged. There were rock slides in Arkansas and mud slides in Arizona. Sinkholes were appearing all over Florida, Maine, and New Hampshire. While both Dakotas were pummel by hailstones the size of Mt. Rushmore, both Carolinas sustained powerful gales. Ohio and Wyoming were buried in sleet. San Francisco, Texas, and Washington were beginning to crack up. Nevada, Oklahoma, and Nebraska became the victims of multiple tornadoes. The Great Lakes and the Mississippi River were beginning to flood. It was beginning to look like Kansas would experience another dust bowl, and Las Angeles began to experience massive fog banks (or at least they think so).
In addition, there were snowstorms south of the equator, heat waves in Alaska, Greenland, and around the Arctic Circle, as well as sandstorms in China, Japan, and Turkey. Iceland and Scotland were beginning to discover what would've happened if Dementor's Shock Canon had discharged. All of Europe experienced storms that could turn the Eiffel Tower into a lightning rod, finish the devastation of the Roman Colosseum, blow away the Chapel, and make the Tower of Pisa lean the other way.
Also, Venice's rivers were reaching street level, and, like San Fran, London's bridge was beginning to fall down (no pun intended). Hawaii and Cuba were being showered with icy rain. Siberia turned into the world's newest hotspot. There were monsoons in Africa and Australia. The Savanna and the Sahara began to become giant mud puddles, and Egypt's Nile River was parting faster than it did with Moses. Mt. Vesuvius and Mt. St Helen began to roar back to life while Mt. Everest began to turn to slush. To top it off, the icecaps began to crumble, which caused icebergs to drift into the center of every ocean, shifting the currents and causing more climatic changes. As if that wasn't enough, each day, the storms grew worse, the destruction becoming more and more critical. While there were no casualties, people feared it wouldn't be long before the death toll began.
Needless to say, these disturbing climatic changes caused many technical difficulties. Every form of communication was constantly down, there were rolling blackouts everywhere, computer systems were on the fritz, machines went haywire, and there were glitches and malfunctions every hour. It was worst than the alleged Y2K bug.
At the same time these disasters were taking place, animals were acting almost as strange as the weather. Dogs began howling, barking and snarling nonstop like crazy, and cats were yowling and hissing at nothing in particular. Sometimes they even attempted to attack their owners. Furthermore, people noticed at aquariums, ponds, lakes, and oceans that fish were swimming upside down and backwards. At zoos round the world, it was especially bizarre. Snakes were quivering like rabbits, monkeys kept trying to roar like lions, elephants thought they were bears, rhinos were behaving like ground hogs, hippos were being chased by ducks, sheep were becoming vicious, bats were flying around during the day, and zebras thought they were real horses.
Plants worldwide were acting just as peculiar. Even though it was mid-spring, trees in every forest were already losing their leaves. Acorns, walnuts, chestnuts, even pine needles couldn't be found anywhere. In florist shops, lively and healthy roses were turning into dead brambles, sweet smelling tulips became sour, violets were turning gray, goldenrods once filled to the brim with nectar were tapped out, no petals could be found on any daisies or petunias, sunflowers were looking more like the moon, and buds were wilting as fast as they opened. On every farm, tomatoes were rapidly swelling and becoming rotten, pumpkins were exploding, watermelons were drying out into raisins, eggplants were becoming spoiled, fields of corn were turning into small deserts, trees were turning into match sticks, bushes were becoming flatter then pancakes, weeds were growing higher then a sky scrapper. and all vegetables grown underground were so foul, even gophers wouldn't touch them. In jungles, it seemed that vines were attacking anything that moved, the tips of roots were sticking out of the ground, and poisonous plants were popping up everywhere.
The worst part about all this was that scientists had no clue as to the cause of any of these events. It was the most baffling thing they encountered. The greenhouse gases were under control, the balance of freshwater and saltwater was normal, and ph levels hadn't altered one bit. The most brilliant minds in the world had no choice but to admit it: For once, they were completely and utterly stumped.
II.
While the world's brightest minds racked their brains out trying to find logic in this crisis, a certain blue scientist didn't even know any of this was happening. Dr. Drakken paid no attention to the events that were occurring outside his lair for the past week. The moment he saw Kim and Ron's love life go up in smoke, he locked himself in his lab and began working on the plans for his most diabolical world-domination plot ever, even greater than his Diablo scheme. Filled with new confidence and determination after destroying Kim and Ron's happiness, Drakken began to tap into his true evil genius essence. For a full week, he didn't eat, he didn't sleep, and he didn't observe the news on the worldwide disasters. He worked through power failures, dripping ceilings, earthquakes, and snapping pencils. He ignored the howling winds, rumbling thunder, the pelting sound of hailstones on the roof, the barking of Commodore Puddles, the complaining of his henchmen, even the growling of his own stomach.
Finally, exactly one week later, Drakken was satisfied. He felt he had devised the perfect plot. He had taken everything into account while drawing up his plans. He didn't leave out a single detail. His calculations were precise, his computations were accurate, and his figures and estimates were painstaking. There wasn't a single flaw to be found, no weak spots to be exploited, no plot holes that can be used to beat him. It was completely airtight. As Drakken picked up the flawless notes, he smirked to himself Nothing can stop me this time! Not that anyone will be there to stop me this time! HA HA HA!
III.
While waiting for her employer to draw up his next silly scheme, Shego kept herself busy be observing ever form of media she could. The events taking place in the outside world really caught her eyes. Shego couldn't believe that Kim and Ron's parting had such an effect on the world. She was also pretty ticked that some people thought of her and Kim as a couple. To her, that was something that Stoppable would call sick and wrong. But what really got Shego's attention was nature's attitude. Unlike her blue boss, Shego monitored the new about the wacky weather patterns daily (that is, when the power didn't give out). Boy, the world is really a mess at the moment Shego thought to herself exactly one week after Kim and Ron were forced apart Drakken could take the opportunity to launch his plan now, that is, if he ever comes up with one. Just then, she heard a door open and footsteps approaching her.
"Shego!" Drakken said proudly as he came out of his lab, clutching the plans for his newest, most ingenious, most insidious, and possibly greatest foolproof, surefire, end-all scheme for global conquest "I have it! First, we..."
Before the villain could begin to elaborate on his ultimate plan, a strong gust of icy wind blew the front door wide open and threw Drakken up against the wall. With the wind shoving him into the wall, Drakken struggled along the side until finally the blue villain managed to pull himself away from of the powerful wind stream.
After shaking off the feelings moist and cold the draft had left him with, Drakken looked down and was mortified. The icy wind had completely drenched his papers. All the hard work he had done in the past week was ruined. His greatest plan to conquer the world had been foiled before it even started!
"NO! My masterpiece of malice, gone!" Drakken screamed as he threw down the ruined papers and began to jump up and down like a spoiled brat. "It's not fair!" he cried "Even when Kim Possible's indisposed, I still lose! What does the world have against me trying to take ove..." Drakken's rant was cut short.
The icy gust had been filling the lair and Drakken was now shivering and shaking.
"S-Sh-Shego!" Drakken quivered "Close that blasted door!"
Annoyed that she did all that waiting for nothing, Shego made her way to door and pushed with all her might, but found the wind blowing it open was just as strong as she was. Shego tried as hard as she could to shut the door, but it just wouldn't budge.
"I could use a little help over here, Doc!" Shego finally cried.
Still ticked about his perfect scheme being foiled by something as simple as Mother Nature, Drakken walked over to the door to help his assistant. As he did, Shego glanced outside and was shocked at the sight before her eyes.
"You better take a look at this, Doc" she said.
Still grumbling, Drakken poked his head out the door. What he saw
made his crankiness vanish and replaced it with a look of pure disbelief. The wind was howling like a wolf, lightning was striking everything, hills were freezing solid, and trees were being knocked over, their roots being completely ripped out of the ground. At the same time, hailstones were pelting every inch of the island, sand from the beach was flying everywhere and the tidal waves were growing taller by the minute. At that moment, a large hailstone came falling from the sky towards Drakken. Before the blue villain could pull his head back in...Bonk!
"You alright, Dr. D?" Shego asked.
Drakken pulled his head back into the doorway. Shego took one look at the blue villain and tried to suppress a giggle. Drakken was wearing a nasty frown on his face and a bruise on his head that looked like a hill. Finally, Shego couldn't hold it in anymore and was soon doubled over with laughter.
Sneering at his guffawing assistant, Drakken barked "Alright, alright, you've had your laugh! Now let's get this thing closed otherwise you may look like me."
The thought of getting bopped like her boss snapped Shego out of her laughing frenzy. Then, struggling with all their might, the two villains finally managed to close their door. After making sure the door was tightly shut, Drakken turned his attention to the large lump on top of his head.
As her employer walked away to tend to his new head, Shego decided to make sure the entire lair was secure. She didn't realize the conditions around the world were this severe.
Meanwhile, Drakken made his way to the first aid kit they kept for just such emergencies "Let's see" Drakken said as he looked through the sections of the kit Experiment-related bruises, No, Kim Possible-related bruises "No" Buffoon-related bruises "No" Shego-related bruises "NO! Ah, here it is!" And he pulled out a small box marked Nature-related bruises.
"Shego" Drakken said as he rubbed his bump with ointment "Is it just me, or does the weather seem a little berserk today?"
"News flash, Dr. D" Shego said as she started to board up the windows "It's been this crazy all week. You've been so caught up in devising your 'ultimate' scheme that you haven't noticed."
Drakken began to stress. What if someone else was taking advantage of Kim's love life going up in smoke? They might take over the world before him! "Do you suppose some other villain is causing this?" he asked his green assistant.
"Can't be Dementor" Shego said "He's still in the hoosgow with his brother-in-law, and from the sounds of it, Myron's an even worse cell mate then Lucre."
Though hearing his rival was still locked up (as well as having a worst time in there then him) Drakken wouldn't relax until he learned who was responsible
"What about Killigan?" Drakken asked " Or the Seniors? Or Monkey Fist?"
"It couldn't be Killigan or the Seniors" Shego responded "Their islands are being devastated by this. And last I heard, Monkey Fist was searching for something called the Yono."
Drakken sighed with relief. Knowing that his greatest competitors for world conquest weren't active meant that the weather wasn't being manipulated by them or any other villain. However, the blue villain couldn't help but wonder what the true cause of this was.
After thinking it over for five minutes and not coming up with a logically answer, the villain shrugged "Oh, well. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll let up eventually" the blue scientist finished bandaging his bruise before walking back to his lab "Now if you'll excuse me" he said with a sigh "I have to go back to the drawing board."
At that moment, the two villains heard a rumbling that didn't sound like an earthquake or thunder.
"Whoa, I didn't realize I was so hungry" Drakken said
"That isn't your stomach, bird brain!" Shego said worriedly
Suddenly, the power went out and the room went pitch-black. Shego heard a high-pitched squeal and groaned What a baby to herself.Just then, lightning flashed outside, causing Shego to jump up and look to the boarded up windows. Instead of fading instantly, the flash glowed brighter. Soon, a burst of white light entered the lair through the cracks in the windows and touched down in the middle of the floor. Drakken and Shego watched as the light twisted, turned, and began to take shape and form. In a matter of seconds, a strange creature appeared in the center of the room.
It was the most bizarre thing the two villains ever saw, and they had seen a lot! It looked like a cross between a bat and a dragon. It had a strange coloring of red and gold. It was muscular, it had powerful arms and legs, long razor sharp claws and fangs, two silver horns on top of it's head, rigged, pointy ears, and a long scaly tail. The freakiest thing about this intruder was that it didn't have pupils and it's eyes were pure white. There was a strange glow around the creature's body which illuminated the entire room.
Normally, Drakken would be freaked by this being's appearance, instead, he became ticked. His day was already sour enough. First, his greatest plan to take over the world was ruined before he could enact it, then he got clunked on the head by a ridiculously large piece of ice, and now, this strange whatever was intruding in his lair. Well, he was fed up and refused to take it anymore "Who are you? And for that matter what are you?" the blue scientist snapped at the being in a tone that matched his mood "And what are you doing coming into my lair uninvited, especially without knocking?!"
Shego was starting to become really nervous. Her boss had done some foolish things in the past, but insulting this mysterious creature who just appeared out of nowhere definitely took the cake.
To the villains' surprise, the creature maintained a calm face and said "In this order" in an echoing voice "I go by the name S, I am a cosmic spirit, and I am here because I seek the one called Drew Theodore P. Lipsky"
Drakken scowled. He hated when people (except his mother) used his real name. However, he was interested in what this interstellar being wanted with him, but he still wasn't in the mood for unwelcome company, no matter how polite they were. And who has a letter for a name? he thought to himself.
"If you must know" the blue scientist said out loud and annoyed "The person you're searching for is me. Only now, I go by Dr. Drakken. Now that you've found me, would you please tell me what you want and scram?"
"Silence!" the creature's voice boomed, it's personality changing. The ground trembled at the same time.
Hearing the strange being's voice intensify, Drakken's attitude vanished and he meekly backed up into a corner, cringing. Shego sighed at her cowering employer. Normal, she'd be appalled by his behavior, but in this case, she felt it was he was acting appropriately.
The being known as S went on "Do you have any idea of the consequences of what you've done?! " the entire lair shook when the spirit spoke.
This offended Drakken. While he did enjoy taking credit for horrible things that happened, he didn't like being blamed for things that he wasn't responsible for. Gathering what courage he had left, he approached the being. "But I haven't done anything yet" the blue scientist said defensively "I did have the mother-of-all domination schemes, but it was..."
"Silence!" the creature interrupted loudly as thunder crackled outside.
Drakken shut up and scurried behind Shego. As the green assistant looked at the blue man seeking security behind her, she could hear the sound of the hailstones pelting the side and roof of the lair grow harder and louder and the intensity of the rain coming down outside magnifying.
Turning back to the strange creature, the two villain watched as he held out his hands. An image appeared in either one. In one hand was an image of Kim and in the other was an image of Ron.
"Do you recognize these two?" the spirit asked.
"Of course" Drakken said "It's Kim Possible and her sidekick whose name escapes me."
"First of all, his name is Ronald Stoppable" the creature said in an upset tone "Second of all, he's the partner of Kimberly Possible, not her sidekick!"
"Okay, okay" Drakken said nervously "He's her partner. Well, what about them?"
"Do you recall what you did to them one week ago?" the stranger asked.
"Certainly" Drakken said proudly "I forced them apart using my vocal overriders! It was my greatest and most evil achievement yet!"
"Uh, Dr. D" Shego tapped on the villain's shoulder nervously.
"Oh, alright, Shego" Drakken misunderstood what she wanted "Shego helped out a little" the green woman tapped harder "Okay, a lot", Shego tapped rapidly "More than her share" Shego was practically poking him "Alright, fine! Shego played one of the biggest roles in my plan to toast my arch-foe's relationship! There, are you happy now, Shego?!"
"Uh, Dr. D, I'm flattered that you mentioned me, but for once, I don't think I want any credit for evil deeds!" Shego cried as she pointed to their houseguest who was wearing a very nasty sneer.
"Do you realize that you've committed one of the most horrible deed in the cosmos?!" the beast called S shouted at the villains.
"Uh, how so?" Drakken asked meekly.
"For one thing, you've sabotaged one of the most precious things that exist: love. Second of all, you've destroyed what took us years to create!"
"Um, us?" Drakken asked dumbfounded.
"Me and my fellow cosmic spirits B and M" the creature answered "We watch over everything in the cosmos and guide beings through their destinies."
Drakken was about to ask why the spirits hadn't helped him realize his destiny as ruler of the world, but Shego, who sensed what he was about to say, elbowed him in the ribs.
"We have been monitoring Kimberly and Ronald for over a decade and a half" S said stoutly "Never before have we seen two individuals with such a unique destiny."
"What do you mean?" asked a befuddled Drakken.
"Do I have to spell it out for you?" the creature asked annoyed "Kimberly and Ronald were destined to be together ever since the day they were born. Do you honestly believe that a boy and girl who have known each other since they were children, have been there for each other, have enjoyed each other's company, and have been true friends for over ten years aren't meant to spend the rest of their lives together?"
Drakken thought for a minute then said "Well, when you put it that way, it sounds pretty obvious."
"Since the day Kimberly and Ronald came into this world, we made their lives one of our biggest priorities" S explained "Ever since the day they first met, it was clear that these two shared a very special bond, one unlike any we cosmic spirits had ever seen before. From that day on, we watched over them more thoroughly than any other being, taking it upon ourselves to ensure that this bond reach its peak. From their first meeting at preschool to their first mission. From their first fight to their first date, almost everything that's happened to those two has occurred due to our guidance and interventions. Do you actually think that most of things that they went through were a coincidence?"
"Hmm" Drakken said "I guess not."
"The bottom line is that we've spent the last fourteen years observing Kimberly and Ronald's relationship, watching it cultivate and flourish into what it became over a year ago" the cosmic one stated with pride "When they got together at their prom, we cosmic spirits cheered like there was no tomorrow" the being said happily before looking at Drakken with a sneer "And then you go and ruin all our hard work! Decimating something so delicately developed by the cosmic spirits is one of the most fiendish things that one can do!"
"Woo-hoo! Did you hear that, Shego?" Drakken said with a smirk "According to this guy, I'm more evil than I thought! I'll go down in history as one greatest villains that ever lived!"
"Great, congratulations, Doc" Shego said flatly. She knew there would be no living him now.
The cosmic creature growled at the blue villain "First of all, that wasn't meant to be a complement. Second of all, you fail to realize how serious this is!"
Drakken turned to the being "So a couple of teenagers went splitsville, big deal. It happens all the time."
"Not with these two" the being said trying to stay calm "Ronald and Kimberly are meant to be together forever!"
"You mean they were" Drakken said smugly.
While her boss was going at it with the interstellar stranger, Shego could swear that she heard the waves pounding the cliff harder and harder, the hills starting to crumble, and the wind's howling becoming louder by the minute.
"This tragedy you created was not meant to happen!" the beast called S was shouting to Drakken "Kimberly and Ronald's romance was suppose to last for eternity!"
Drakken shrugged "Things change."
"But this was one of those things that was suppose to endure anything!" the cosmic spirit yelled.
"Well, sometimes, things don't go like we want them" Drakken said getting aggravated "Believe me, I know."
"It's not the way we want it! It's the way it's suppose to be!" S the spirit groaned "You still don't understand the horror you've brought about!"
Drakken had taken enough "Would you mind telling me why you are getting so worked up about Possible and her boy splitting like atom?" he asked firmly.
"Because" the creature called S said trying to keep the frustration out of his voice "Ronald and Kimberly's relationship was so strong, pure, and true that it was directly linked to the natural order's cosmic balance. When you created that rift between Kimberly and Ronald, the balance was disrupted and it began to fall apart. With the balance so severely damaged, all of your world's natural forces are drastically shifting, resulting in catastrophic climatic events around the globe!"
Even though Drakken didn't understand what that meant, he knew it didn't sound good "Wh-What are you saying?" he asked in a nervous manner.
"I'm saying that the storms and other unnatural occurrences your planet is experiencing are a direct result of you severing Kimberly and Ronald's bond!"
Drakken instantly thought this was most ridiculous thing he ever heard. "You expect me to believe that all this is happening just because I destroyed my arch-foe's relationship with her so-called soulmate?" the blue villain asked in tone indicating he thought the whole thing sound farfetched.
"You ask that question even after meeting me?" the creature who went by S asked "Why? Do you doubt the word of a cosmic spirit? And do you have another explanation for this planet's out-of-control weather patterns?"
The blue villain thought for a few minutes, then began muttering about the wise guy freak getting the best of him with circumstantial facts.
"What was that?" S had heard part of Drakken's mutter.
"Uh, nothing!" the blue scientist said quickly. The being called S stared at him for a couple of minutes before getting back to the matter at hand.
"The point is that" the creature said " because of your actions, your planet is suffering due to a cosmic calamity of epic proportions! You're lucky I don't incenerate you right now! "
It was then that Shego decided not to stick around anymore and take her chances with the weather "Well, have fun with your new friend, Dr. D" she said as she walked to the front door "I'm heading to the spa if these storms you've caused haven't decimated it yet."
"Not so fast!" the spirit yelled at the green woman before she got out the door "You're just as much involved in this as him!"
"But it was all the Doc's plan!" Shego said as if she was on trial.
"True, but you went along with it willingly! In fact, you took enjoyment out of hurting Kimberly and Ronald!"
"Well, what do you expect?" Shego said sheepishly "I'm a villain."
The look on the creature's face told Shego that she wasn't helping herself.
When he was sure Shego wasn't going to get away, the creature spoke to Drakken again " Furthermore, unless the damage is repaired" it said in an empty tone "These conditions will continue to get worse until all is no more"
Drakken gulped. That sounded more evil then he had in mine.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Time out!" Shego interrupted the silence "You mean if Possible and Stoppable don't get back together, the entire planet will be destroyed?!"
"Actually" the creature who went by S said bitterly "The entire universe."
"WHAT?!" the two villains shouted simultaneously.
"All star system are effected by the cosmic balance. Other worlds are gong through turmoil as is yours. You should feel lucky, your planet is better off than others. Behold!" the creature called S said as his eyes began to glow. Beams of light shot from the spirit's eyes and in a moment, hundreds of pictures appeared before the two villains.
Drakken and Shego observed the images. Mercury and Venus had reversed order and were beginning to crack. The red planet Mars was turning pitch-black. Hanging over the red-to-black planet was Saturn whose rings were beginning to dissolve. Jupiter, who was starting to dissipate into pure gas, was dancing with a crumbling Uranus, and Pluto, who was now Earth's new neighbor, was growing at an alarming rate.
Looking at more images, they noticed that the stars were acting bizarre as well. The Big Dipper was getting smaller by the minute, Orion's belt was drifting farther apart, Scorpius, Leo, and Taurus were spiraling together, Draco and Hydra were mixing, Cetus was scrambled with Pegasus, it was hard to tell the difference between Libra and Pisces, Gemini was splitting in two, it looked like Hercules was standing on his head, Aquarius and Sagittarius looked like twins, and you couldn't tell where Virgo began and where Aries ended.
The sun wasn't looking too good either. Flares were circling the fiery orb, whose appearance made it looked like it had an ugly cross between the measles and chicken pox. Also, it appeared as if the ball of burning gas was rapidly turning from yellow to red.
After the images vanished, S spoke "These events are occurring everywhere, with the chaos becoming more and more extreme by the hour. At this rate, it won't be long before it all blows like one of the cheap buildings you inhabit."
Drakken wanted to tell the creature that his lairs weren't that flimsy and that they were usually destroyed due to Kim's interference, but decided against it, not wanting to make the beast any angrier then it already was. Shego, meanwhile, sneered at her boss. "Way to go, Dr. D" she said sarcastically "You finally do something truly evil, and you end up destroying the universe!"
Drakken started to panic. As much as he wanted to reinforce his evil rep, he didn't want to be known as the person who destroyed the entire cosmos. Also, he couldn't rule a world that no longer existed, especially if he no longer existed as well!
"Well" Drakken said to the cosmic spirit called S "Do something! If you're so powerful, can't you stop this?!"
S shook his head "I cannot. You were the ones that caused this, and only you can reverse it."
Shego didn't like where this was heading "So what you're saying is..."
"You broke Kimberly and Ronald up, so you have to get them back together" S answered.
"WHAT?!" Drakken bellowed angrily "You expect me to help my teen nemesis get back with the guy who's name escapes me?! After all the hard work I put into wrecking their love life?! Forget it!"
S sneered angrily at Drakken.
"Uh. Dr. D" Shego said nervously as she stared at the cosmic being "I don't think you should mess with this guy."
"I don't care, Shego" Drakken said defiantly "This creep cannot just barge into my lair and order me around!"
The creature began to glow brighter
"I really don't think we're in a position to disobey him" Shego said through gritted teeth.
"Shego" Drakken growled "There's no way I'm going to play cupid for a couple of brats that constantly foil my plans for world domination! Not to mention dismantling one of the greatest evil plots ever made! Read my lips: I WILL NOT DO IT!"
Just then, S raised his arms and two bolts of lightning were fired at Drakken. Shego pushed the blue villain to the ground just before the blast hit him. The villains watched as the bolts hit a machine behind Drakken and explode.
As he got to his feet, Drakken was about to yell at the cosmic creature for destroying his equipment before Shego covered his mouth and whispered in his ear "The next one could be you."
His pupils shrinking, Drakken's attitude changed "Okay, okay, we'll do it" he said with a smile "But I won't like it" he muttered to himself.
"Good" S said "Just know that if you fail, the entire universe will be destroyed" He then frowned at the two villains before adding "And if you two happen to survive the destruction, we cosmic spirits will make you suffer for an eternity!" which earned a gulp from the blue and green villains.
And with that, the spirit known as S vanished in another bright flash of light. At the same time, Drakken's back-up generator kicked in and the lights came back on.
Finally, Drakken began to grumble "A fine thing" he said sulking "My first true act of evil, and I have to undo it!"
"Hey, I don't like it, either, but you heard the guy" Shego said "If those kids don't kiss and make-up, we can kiss the entire solar system good-bye!"
Drakken scoffed "Oh, please. He was obviously blowing it out of proportion. I bet the conditions aren't half as bad as he lead us on to believe."
Just then, the winds completely ripped the roof off the lair, and in moments, a colossal downpour was completely soaking the interior of the lair.
"You were saying?" asked a drenched Shego.
Sputtering, Drakken turned on the intercom, "Attention, henchmen" he said into it "While Shego and I are out, I want you to call my mother, have her knit an extra large tarp, and use it to cover the top of the lair."
"Yes, sir" responded several voices from the other end of the intercom.
After switching the device off, Drakken turned to his assistant "Come on, Shego" he said as he walked to the hovercar "Let's get this over with before we no longer have a lair" He then began to mumble "Can't believe I actually have to play matchmaker for those annoying teens!"
After a few seconds, Shego had a realization "Dr. D" she said "You're not just playing matchmaker. You're saving the world!"
Drakken looked like he would have a heart attack.
"Wait a minute" Shego said as she had another realization "You're not saving the world..."
Drakken sighed with relief.
"You're saving the universe!" Shego finished
Drakken nearly fainted.
TBC...
