After a long flight, they arrived back in Meridian City. Upon entering the city, they arrived at a mission control base. They landed the ship, got out of it and entered the base. As soon as they arrived in mission control, they met with Talwyn, Cronk, Zephyr, Qwark and Clank. Talwyn: "Ratchet! Kim!"
Talwyn rushed over towards them. As soon as she got up to them, she embraced them both. She broke off and looked at both of them as she had both of her hands on their shoulders. Talwyn: "It's so good to see you both again." Kim: "Same here, Talwyn." Ratchet: "So, what's going on? What's the sitch?" Talwyn: "Hm, you guys really are so much alike. Come on, the others have wanted to see you both again."
She walked them towards the holo-viewer within the center of the room. There, the others stood near them. Clank walked up closer towards them. Clank: "Hello, Ratchet. I am glad to see you. And Miss Possible. It is good to see you again." Kim: "It's good to see you, too, Clank."
Cronk and Zephyr approached them next. Cronk: "So, the 2 of you are finally going steady, eh? Good on you to do that." Zephyr: "I knew that you and that girl would end up together, rookie." Cronk: "Aw, young love. Does it not warm your circuitry?"
Qwark approached them next. He grabbed both of them and squeezed them tight. Qwark: "It is so good to see you guys are finally together. I can not believe this. It's moments like this that make me…make me want to…"
He then began to blubber out like a big baby. Qwark: "You 2 grow up so fast!"
Ratchet then broke himself and Kim out of Qwark's arms. Ratchet: "Enough, guys. We're flattered that you're all happy about our relationship, but we know that we weren't called here just so you could smother us." Talwyn: "I'm afraid you're right, Ratchet. A while ago, we picked up on some unusual readings from several planets within the galaxy." Kim: "Unusual readings? Do you have any idea what could be causing them?" Talwyn: "Not really sure. Wade is currently looking into it. But just recently, we found out something else very strange: these readings seemed to be similar to those from…Earth." Ratchet: "Earth? You mean Kimberly's home planet?" Kim: "But what could this mean?"
Suddenly, the holo-viewer within the center of the room began to react strangely. Everyone looked up, projected from the viewer were images of 2 very familiar looking villains: Dr. Drakken and Shego. Ratchet: "Oh, no." Clank: "This…can not be…" Qwark: "Hey, I know them. They're…uh…what are their names again?" Ratchet: "Drakken and Shego." Kim: "Well, this is an expected surprise but more unpleasant than anything." Drakken: "Kim Possible! It has been a long time, hasn't it?" Kim: "Not long enough, I'm afraid." Drakken: "I can see that you have made a few more annoying alien friends other then that cat alien boyfriend of yours." Kim: "Alright, Drakken, what are you and Shego doing in the Polaris Galaxy? What exactly are you up to?"
Drakken then let out a sinister laugh. Drakken: "An excellent question. I'll have you know that we have taken over several planets within this galaxy, with myself and Shego controlling one of them." Ratchet: "Wait a minute. You and Shego are controlling 1 planet? Just 1?" Clank: "With several planets under the control of others besides the both of you?" Kim: "Who else is involved in this?" Shego: "Oh, we're not going to reveal that to you now; that would take the fun out of all of this. That will be something for you and your cute little Lombax boyfriend to find out for yourselves." Ratchet: "Are you…challenging us?" Drakken: "But of course. We feel that it would be a lot of fun to watch as you attempt to save all of these planets. I must warn you, however, that it's a big galaxy and saving all of them won't be so easy."
Clank stepped forward a bit. Clank: "Challenge accepted, Drakken." Ratchet: "Oh, for sure. If you think we'll let the galaxy fall under the control of you and a bunch of other nutcases, whoever they are, then you're even more absent-minded than I remembered you to be. What say you to that, Drakken?" Drakken: "Hmph! We shall see who will triumph in the end. Happy hunting, Kim Possible and cat alien boyfriend."
Drakken laughed maniacally as his and Shego's images fade. Everyone just stood by for a bit. Kim was annoyed as she folded her arms. Kim: "Well, this I one homecoming that I was hoping to not come across." Ratchet: "Hm, I really would like to know who else is involved in this. Just what are Drakken and Shego up to?" Kim: "So, any ideas on where they could be?" Clank: "Hm…perhaps Wade should be able to find that out."
Just then, Wade's image appeared from the holo-viewer before them. Wade: "I'm way ahead of you guys. I've tracked their signal to a remote planet called Praxis XII. I've uploaded the coordinates to your nav-unit." Ratchet: "Let's go. Clank? You coming?" Clank: "I will be right there."
Ratchet and Kim were about to walk out. Clank followed after them. Talwyn: "We'll remain here and look for any more intel regarding what Drakken and Shego just mentioned to us." Cronk: "Good luck out there, rookie." Zephyr: "Let us know if you need anything from us."
They stopped and looked back towards them. Kim: "Will do, guys." Ratchet: "We'll be back as soon as we're done with Drakken and Shego."
They continued on their way. Talwyn: Uh, Ratchet? Kim?"
They stopped to look back towards her one last time. Ratchet: "Yeah, Talwyn?" Talwyn: "Um, I'm glad that you both reestablished your feelings for each other and you have decided to pursue your relationship. Since the day I first met you guys, I always knew that you would end up together." Ratchet: "Thanks for telling us that and also…thank you for supporting our relationship."
They were then able to approach their ship. Ratchet, Kim and Clank got into it and took off. Talwyn watched as they flew off and left the planet. Talwyn: "Ratchet…Kim…good luck…with everything…"
They were flying through space. Ratchet: "OK, let's use this time to discuss what we know about Drakken and Shego." Clank: "Hm…well, we have encountered them years ago, so we have some idea of who these 2 unruly individuals are." Ratchet: "Yeah, that much I'm aware of, other than the obvious, there really isn't much that we know about them. Kimberly, you've faced off against them many times in the past. Maybe you can tell us what you know." Kim: "Well, Dr. Drakken is a self-proclaimed evil genius." Ratchet: "Yeah, I'm already aware of that." Kim: "Of course, but here's something you haven't even heard. Dr. Drakken had once attended the same college as my dad; he was even a former classmate of his."
Ratchet was shocked to hear this. Ratchet: "Wait! Your dad went to the same college as Drakken? No way!" Kim: "Yep, he was even teased by him and his other colleagues when Drakken was trying to build a few female robots, which he really wasn't good at." Ratchet: "Huh, I guess that's what fueled him into becoming evil. But he did turn out to create some deadly androids, despite him not being as much of an evil genius as he claims he is." Clank: "And then, there is the matter of Shego. She is indeed a very dangerous woman, not to mention that glowing, green energy that she is able to produce from her hands. Is that from a special equipment of sorts?" Kim: "Actually, that's a special ability of hers." Ratchet: "You mean it's like some kind of super power, not from any equipment that was built by Drakken?" Kim: "Yes, believe it or not, she used to have been part of a team of sibling crime fighters with her brothers Hego, Mego and the Wego twins known as Team Go."
Both Ratchet and Clank were very surprised to hear this. Ratchet: "Shego used to have been a crime fighter?" Kim: "Yeah, she was, but then she got bored with it as well as becoming fed up with putting up with her brothers." Ratchet: "So then she pretty much ditched all of that and took on the messed up lifestyle of committing crimes." Kim: "Yep, that just about sums her up." Clank: "Hm, I have to wonder if the extensive amount of time she has spent tolerating her brothers and their rowdiness have repelled her from fighting evil and attracted her to the aspect of becoming evil." Ratchet: "Well, if that's the case, that must be one very dysfunctional family if it made her love evil so much." Kim: "I hate to admit, but that does make sense. The team pretty much fell apart after she left since she was the only one who held them together." Ratchet: "Huh, guess they weren't such a great team, after all." Clank: "But I wonder, why would she compel herself to work for Drakken? She is very easily exasperated by this nonsensical irrationality." Ratchet: "I know, right? He's nothing more than just another annoyance to someone like her." Kim: "Hm, in all the years that I have known her, I still don't know the answer to that."
Clank was also pondering this. Clank: "Hm…a conundrum so perplex that it has yet to be comprehensible throughout these many years." Kim: "That's pretty much Drakken and Shego in a nutshell." Ratchet: "And to think, in all the times that you've fought against them, you would have at least been able to figure out something by now."
Kim sighed as she held her hands out and shrugged her shoulders. Kim: "I know, and yet, it's still mind boggling."
