"Wade? Are you picking up anything?" Kim asked, as she and Ron waiting outside the abandoned factory building.

"I'm getting...next to nothing, Kim. Either there's nothing in there, or whatever is in there is being highly protected somehow." Wade responded, with a face of confusion.

"Kim...do we have to go in? What if...like...we walk in on some creepy..."

"Ron. We've done far worse than enter an abandoned building. Actually, we've done it before." Kim reassured to her friend and his naked mole rat, who were shivering with fear behind her.

"But...it's never been this spooky!" Ron said, as Kim slowly creaked open the back door to the edifice.

"Sure it has, Ron. Now shhh!"

Rufus covered his paws over Ron's mouth.

The two teens snuck in the dark building, unaware of the being that lurked inside...like in the episode "Queen Bebe", a mysterious pair of eyes watched the two from above in secret as they entered. As Kim and Ron advanced, they began exploring the building's strange interior. There was an endless amount of boxes filled with glass bottles and beakers. It was most definitely an old chemistry, or science building. But what kind of science was still unknown...

The figure watching Kim and Ron from above turned its head to the side. It was curious, analyzing every step as if it was a secret to a lost puzzle...

"Hey, Ron, look over here.!" Kim shouted in the quite-dark building.

Ron jumped at Kim's call, backing up into a box of glass bottles. The box fell to the floor, shattering the glass, making a loud noise.

"Ronnnnn!" Kim hissed, angry.

"Coming..." Ron whimpered.

Ron tip-toed over to Kim, who was hovering over a scene. On the floor of the warehouse were several candles. Kim bent over and touched the wax.

"They're warm. Somebody's been here, Ron." she muttered.

"Somebody's been here, or somebody is here, Kim..."

Kim froze. She cautiously took out her Kimmunicator.

"Wade...?" Kim said, in a slightly creeped voice.

"Yeah, Kim?" Wade asked. "Did you find anything?"

"Wade...can you do a scan for heat sensory? See if anyone is in the building besides us?"

"Sure, Kim."

Kim held the Kimmunicator out in front of her. The device emitted a long beam around the building, doing a full out scan. When it was done, Kim waited until Wade had finished typing on his keyboard.

"Kim..."

"Y-yeah, Wade?"

"Um...turn around."

Kim, Ron, and Rufus froze. Ron whimpered. Slowly, Kim and Ron turned around, afraid to see what was behind them.

It was dark, so the two teens couldn't really see anything. But in the dark, Kim thought she saw a person standing, watching them with bright, almost glowing blue eyes.

"Who...?" Kim started. She was cut off when the mysterious figure jumped...and disappeared out of any little sight Kim had.

"Aah!" Ron shouted. He jumped in fright, holding on to Kim. "We aren't alone, Kim!" he cried, shivering.

"But who could it be?" Kim asked, to no one in particular, not seeming to mind that the figure was still among them, listening.

"Maybe it's Shego's clone!" Ron tried.

"But who would make a clone of Shego? Who would know how to make a clone? Who had access to Shego's D.N.A.?" Kim asked, again to no one in particular. It was more of an open thought. "The only person I can think of is Drakken, and I don't think it would have been him."

"Remember the last time he tried making a clone of Shego?" Ron remembered.

"She quit, right?"

"Yup."

"Yeah and then I was the one who ended up being cloned."

"And Bonnie, too."

Kim shivered.

"What...what if...what if this is Shego from an alternate reality!" Ron said, widening his eyes in realization.

"Ron..."

"What if there's a whole other alternate reality with an opposite Shego, and Drakken, and you and me!"

"Ron..."

"And instead of having the green power that Shego has...she...she has her brother's red power of cloning, and her alternate brother has our Shego's green power! And in that world, alternate Drakken rules it because our Drakken always fails at trying to take it over! And he's not even called Drakken! Its...Drokken! And alternate Shego's name is really Shega! And somehow a portal opened up between the worlds and Shega escaped...!"

"RON. EARTH TO RON." Kim shouted over his ranting.

"Yeah, K.P.?"

"I highly doubt there isn't an alternate world where we all have opposites."

"You never knooowwww..." Ron sang.

"It's not possible, Ron."

"Fine. Than what's your explanation for this very-similar-to-the-Shego-we-know person?"

"Well..."

"That could very likely be from an alternate universe?"

"Ron!"

"Sorry..."

"I don't know! Okay? I don't know. Maybe someone had a huge obsession with Shego and tried to look and act like her."

"Then why would this person have a different hair color, eye color, skin color, and outfit?"

Kim buried her head in her hands, obviously getting a headache. "I don't know. Maybe then it's just a coincidence that this person looks like Shego. I don't know."

Ron didn't answer. He just...waited in silence.

"Hey, K.P.?"

"Yeah, Ron?"

"You do know that we're still standing in the abandoned factory building."

"Yeah, I know."

"And the person we're trying to figure out is somewhere in this building listening to everything we say."

Kim sighed. "All right!" she shouted above her. "Come out, come out wherever you are! Or whoever you are I should say..."

Kim and Ron waited. They got no answer, or movement.

"Ugh! I'm sick of this!"

Kim took out her Kimmunicator again and turned it back on. "Wade?"

"Yes, Kim? Wha-?"

"Can you do the heat sensory scan again?"

Kim and Wade did the procedure again.

"Still in the building?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, Kim, your mysterious Shego is still in the building."

"Don't you mean anti-Shego?" Ron pressed.

"Ron...!" Kim said through her teeth, getting annoyed.

"...Sorry."

Kim looked back to Wade on the tiny screen. "Where is she?"

"Close." Wade answered. "Look in your backpack. I think I gave you heat-sensory goggles."

"Oh. Well why didn't you say that before?" Kim said, putting away her Kimmunicator. She looked through her backpack, found the goggles, and put them on. She looked up in them, she looked around, she walked around, and eventually she stopped. She saw through the goggles a shape of a woman in a crouching position above her.

"Got her." Kim said, before jumping up to the figure's level. She was on top of the pipes, above the room.

The mysterious figure jumped down as Kim jumped up.

"Kim!" Ron shouted, seeing the figure now on his level.

"Okay, Ron! I'm trying!"

Kim jumped back down and did a front handspring to try and catch up with the other Shego. The other had disappeared. Kim could not detect her with her goggles. She ripped them off in frustration.

"Ugh! Why can't we catch her?" Kim shouted.

Ron shrugged. "We will eventually...I hope."

Kim grunted.

"Can we get out of her, K.P.? This place gives me a major case of the spooks."

Kim sighed. "Fine."

The two walked out of the abandoned factory building, watched by the unseen eyes. Kim turned around right before leaving, to give one last look. She narrowed her eyes. She knew she was being watched, and she gave that look. The look as if to say, 'This isn't over yet.'

Back at Drakken and Shego's place, Drakken was watching television, flicking through channels as Shego walked in the room. She was just passing through to go to the mud room, to get a few things. Drakken had flicked on the news for nearly two seconds before changing it. He surely didn't want to see another broadcast about him and his "useless attempts for the impossible dream of global domination". But, two seconds was enough for Shego. She widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Go back, Dr. D! To the news! Turn it back on!"

Drakken grunted. He did so, hesitantly.

The news was showing a report of Kim Possible's newest investigation of Shego, who was seen in Upperton jumping rooftops, wearing a disguise. Wade had given the producers of the show the tapes he received that night; the very ones he showed Kim and Ron.

"Shego," the newsman began. "sidekick to world renowned mad scientist Dr. Drakken,"

"HA! World renowned! Hear that, Shego?" Drakken shouted.

"Shhhhhh!" Shego quickly shushed.

"...was seen in Upperton a few days ago jumping rooftops, wearing a blonde wig, blue contacts, and a black jumpsuit instead of her usual trademark green and black. She is also reported to have obviously used some kind of makeup to hide her green skin tint..."

"What? Is this what Kimmie was talking about before?" Shego said, more to herself than anyone. Her voice was ice cold from the thought of an imposter pretending to be her and getting credit under her name. The newsman continued;

"Lately, some bank robberies have taken place at nighttime, and cameras picked up only a woman's figure inside the building. We can only assume this is Shego and her new disguise."

"Must not be a very good disguise if we know it's her..." a newswoman joked. The crew laughed.

"But it's not me!" Shego yelled to the inanimate television screen. "I didn't do those things! Well...not those specific ones. I wasn't in Upperton!"

Shego continued to watch the broadcast. Even Drakken seemed to get sucked into it too. They watched the figure, jumping rooftops and inside the bank building, in the dark. Actually, all shots of the Shego-like figure were in the dark.

"This better not be a clone, Drakken. So help me God if..."

"No, no! I have nothing to do with this, Shego! Promise!" Drakken squealed, obviously scared by his employee's threats.

Shego narrowed her eyes. "Well I intend to find out who this is. And they are not going to see the light of day again when I do."

Despite Shego's intense promise, she managed to ignore the fact that the other Shego had not seen the light of day for a long, long time.
