To Steal an Emperor: Part 1

Shego stared out at the beautiful,white mountains just outside her window. After retrieving the young emperor, she proceeded to lead the sedated emperor to an abandon military base in the Rockies. She was sent back to protect him, to protect the man responsible for the Terra One government. However, she did remember him for that, instead she remembered him as the man who slain her lover. Why couldn't things just go according to her plans? In 2 weeks, had her plan work, she would see herself as the new Empress. Her foot firmly pressed against the corpse of the once great emperor. There would be no resistance, no uprising as to the world she would have been a hero. She would have been the slayer of evil, the warrior of light, or whatever euphemism they would have come up with. But, it hadn't gone to plan. Instead, not 2 weeks till the completion of her plan, a hussy decided to go back in time, to prevent the emperor from ever rising. So now she found herself protecting him, a man she hated more than anyone else.

She still didn't trust him. After all, who listens to a hooded figure? At the conclusion of the invasion, Shego stood in the heart of Middleton, holding the corpse of the once great General Betty. Their forces absolutely decimated the opposition. The opposition army laid in ruins, most killed, while some taken as slaves for the government. Then in a flash, a portal appeared. Before she knew it a hooded figure stepped out of the abyss, holding what looked like a monkey statue. An attempts to subdue the figure were unsuccessful to say the least. When approached, the figure requested to meet with the supreme leader. Once the meeting was complete, Shego was given the monkey idol and tasked to go back in time. Her mission, to protect Ronald Stoppable, while finding info about a lady. What was name again? Lim Plausible. No. Kim Possible. Yeah that's it.

She was genuinely surprised how easy it was to kidnap the young emperor. Of course, the world didn't know who this boy would grow up to be. Had they known, they would certainly would have killed the boy for fear of the future. She smirked at herself, the saviour of the empire. Of course just because she was sent back to protect him, didn't mean she had to be nice to him. While she did remain civil, she banished the poor boy to the innards of the hanger, where only company were 30 Terra One police droids.

With the boy in safe hands, she decided to take a short break. After all being a "saviour" was hard work.

It was a huge plane, another Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. While it wasn't the fastest or the most spacious aircraft in the world, especially from the time line she came from, it sure was reliable. She keenly recalled using these for the Evacuation of New York. While it happened near the start of the war, the screams of all the civilian's still haunted her. A tear found its way onto her face as she thought about all those she lost. She thought about: the soldiers who died in the fields of battle, needless slaughter of the innocents. Out of the city population of 10 million, only 3 million survived.

"So, why are we going to the Rockies again?" This broke Kim out of her trans. Quickly, she wiped away the tears on her face.

"Well, I found a lead on a boy that was recently kidnapped" she replied.

Two green eyes stared at her intently. While Pim wasn't sure why they were actually going to the Rockies, she trusted Kim. She reminded her of her daughter-in-law. She also saw the good in Kim. Much like her, Kim was battle hardened. But from the looks of it, she didn't have loved ones to back her. While, she was eager to help, she mainly wanted to protect Kim. She wanted to protect her form herself.

"OK, so does this boy have a name?"

"Um. Ron Stoppable."

"OK, we are approaching your coordinates." She then proceeded to hand her a bag. "That contains all the equipment you will need. It contains: a grappling hook, a pair of wire cutter, and a taser, to name a few objects."

Suddenly the pilot's voice came over the intercom. "We are approaching the landing site."

"Well I guess this is good bye." Kim said.

"Oh I think not; I am coming with you." Pim stated in a firm voice.

"But you can't!" Kim argued.

"That wasn't a question, I am coming with you." Pim firmly commanded.

Kim knew when she had lost. This was one of those times. As she prepared to jump out the door, she noticed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Kim, we will get that boy back." Pim gave her a small smile

Kim proceeded to give her grandma a small weary smile. This was dangerous, and she didn't want her grandmother to get hurt. Of course, knowing her grandma, she knew there was no arguing with her. Without saying another word, she jumped out of the plane.

Looking up at the plane, she noticed Pim falling behind her. With a small sigh, she re-immersed back to the task at hand.

Once safely on the ground, Pim and Kim both collected their parachutes, and stuffed them into their backpacks. They were dropped 800 meters from their target location. After scouting the location, they decided that a secondary entrance would be the best way to infiltrate the building. Once reaching the side entrance, Kim picked the lock on the door.

She was surprised to find that the location appeared to unguarded, as not a soul was seen. After walking across the tunnels towards the main building in peace, Pim decided to break the silence.

"So, Kim which regiment did you serve under?" the middle age women asked.

"What makes you think I was in the army?"

"Cut the bullshit Kim, I know you served. The scars on your face are a dead give-away. From what I could tell you saw a great deal of action. More than most people see in their entire life in fact. The look you had at the hanger showed just how unamused you were. I am pretty good at distinguishing between real and fake emotion when it comes to it. In fact, I would even go as far as saying, none of the planes in that hanger specifically surprised you. So tell me, which regiment did you serve under?" Pim asked, having a smug look on her face.

"I didn't serve in any regiments." Kim stated.

"Just tell me!" she demanded.

"I didn't serve in any." She protested. "In fact I only served in the local rebel's militia."

"Rebels militia, where did are you from."

Sighing, Kim decided to tell her the truth. After a short, almost dramatic pause, she replied.

"I'm from the States."

"But there hasn't been any rebellion militia for over a 100 years" Pim stated. She glared at her partner intensely.

"No, but there will be." Kim spoke flatly.

"What do you mean?" Pim asked flabbergasted.

"In the year 2005, a tyrant by the name of Ron Stoppable invades the world." She stated flatly.

"That's preposterous, how could you possibly know that?"

"Because, I am from that future. I was tasked with disposing of the emperor before he came into power."

"I don't believe you." Pim remarked.

"Watch out!" Kim shouted as she spotted a patrol droid. Quickly she hid behind a nearby wall, dragging Pim with her. Without saying another word, she drew her laser rifle and aimed it at the droid.

With a slow breath, she pulled the trigger. After a short burst of light, the droid lied on the floor in ruins.

A dumbfounded Pim stared at Kim. Finally, she spoke.

"So it's true, y...y...you are from the future." She stated with a hint of fear in her voice.

"Yes." She stated flatly. "Now head in the game, the other droids must be coming to our position."

Pim reluctantly followed.

After reaching a large metallic room they were greeted by two flight of stairs. Deciding their efforts could be broadened, they decided to split up.

"We'll cover more ground if we split up. You go up, I'll go up." She proceeded to hand Pim both her extra laser rifle, and a communicator.

"Just watch out for the recoil." She stated with a slight smirk.

As she descended down the steps, Pim was eccentric. She had not signed up for this. She was supposed to help rescue a small boy, not helping a time travelling solider to bring that boy to justice. Sighing, she proceeded forwards. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed more of those droid thingies patrolling the area. Readying her weapon, she proceeded forward with caution.

"Identify yourself." The droid stated in a male monotone voice.

Despite having caught her by surprise, she quickly recovered, holstering her weapon.

"I work for the emperor." She stated in a calm voice.

"Identification number."

"Um, O07A75NT47" she stated with a slight stammer.

"Invalid number, 'um' is not a valid input. Prepare to be taken to the General Supreme."

Thinking on her feet, she upholstered her weapon and quickly fired. Surely enough the beam decimated the droid. However due to her inexperience with the weapon, she got knocked back to the nearest wall.

"I guess Kim wasn't lying, these things sure pack a punch. They sure aren't python's, that's for sure.

Noticing the second droid, she quickly dropped into a combat stance. Much to her confusion, the Droid just went past her. Before she could ponder this, the alarm sounded.

"PROTECT THE GENERAL SUPREME. PROTECT THE GENERAL SUPREME" the alarm repeated.

Noticing her chance, she proceeded to look for the boy.

Pim, was frustrated, all these rooms and no boy. She suddenly spotted a metal door with iron rivets driven into it. It must have been a bomb shelter in its hay day, now it was most likely empty. Taking a chance, she proceeded towards the door. As she approached the door, she heard voices coming from the room. Using her ninja skills, she proceeded to sneak into the room. Much to her dismay, five droids were guarding a 4 year-old boy.

"Well gentlemen, or um…err… gentle robots, why don't you step away from the boy and no one get hurt"

"Invalid response, you will be handled. You will be executed" one of the droids spoke.

"Well then, I am sorry it has come to this." Before the droids had any time to compute the proposition, she already fired. Before the droids could respond, she had already destroyed 2.

Taking heavy fire, Pim decided to change tactics. Using her Mantis Style Kung- Fu she effectively destroyed one droid while simultaneously shooting the other one in the face. Before she could react, she felt the last droids laser rifle on her back.

"DROP THE WEAPON, YOU WILL BE TESTED. YOU WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE GENERAL. YOU WI…."

Before she knew what happened, she was ambushed by the little 4 year old.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you" the young boy stated enthusiastically as she frantically hugged the woman.

"Those meany heads were no fun. They didn't even let me watch captain constellation." The boy complained.

"It's OK, your safe now." She said in a comforting tone. "What's your name?"

"Forgive me for not follow standard rescuer-rescuee protocol ma'am. My name is Ronald Dean Stoppable."

Pim just stood there in complete awe. She had never seen a boy with this grand of a vocabulary before.

"Err, right, my name is Pim Possible. I am here to rescue you. I am here to break you out."

"Oh, you're here to break me out. Thank you. You're like the knight in shining armour"

"And who are your supposed to be, the princess?" she said playfully.

"No, I think I would like to be the Fearless Ferret." He said proudly.

"Well Mr. Ferret, why don't we get out of here" she stated with a smile. Form what she had just witnessed, this boy couldn't grow up to be the tyrant Kim talked about, could he?

Giving her a smile, Ron followed the middle age women. While his mother had told him not to talk to strangers, this hardly looked like the time to criticize his rescuer. He especially didn't think that his knight would hurt him. And even if she tried, he was still the fearless ferret, he thought smugly.

After what seemed like a long time, at least for Ron, they finally made it up the steps. Peering into the main room, he saw this red headed lady and this black hair lady fighting. His mommy always told him fighting never accomplished anything, then again mommy and daddy did fight occasionally. Peering at the red head, he noticed the red hair, the green eyes and the barely visible scare on her face. To some she may look scary, but to him she looked pretty. Rudely, he was broken out of his thoughts by a scream.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" It was Pim.

Finally noticing what was going on, he realized the green lady had the red headed lady on the floor, with plasma in her hands. From the looks of it, it looked like she was going to kill the red head, much like every action movie he watched with his father.
