Danny sat in the cage and ignored Dr. D and Shego's conversation. He hadn't been able to get a minute alone all day and he hoped Jazz had managed to cover for him. However the constant chatter from the two thieves was getting irritating. Shego would say something snippy as Dr. D worked on some machine and Dr. D would try to reprimand her. Danny wasn't really listening to what they were saying but he caught some words and he didn't like what he heard. Dr. D wanted to defeat some girl called Kim Possible and her sidekick and he was going to use mind control to do it. Shego made her business to remind Dr. D that his previous attempts at mind control didn't work. Some shampoo plot and something about the mind control chips and hearing aid frequencies getting crossed with sound waves.

Danny was busy trying to rack his brains for his father's command codes for the Spectre Cages. He remembered one was "ghost" and one was "fenton". There were a lot which all did different things but those were the only two that stuck out in Danny's mind and figured the release code was one of those. He rarely paid attention to what his dad was saying once he started blathering about ghosts and his inventions. However it didn't matter what code it was if he couldn't change back to human.

Danny sighed in boredom and then looked up as Dr. D exclaimed, "it's done!". "So what is that thing supposed to do Dr. D?" Shego asked, however she was busy filing her nails. Dr. D rounded on her. "This machine will help me finally beat Kim Possible Shego. All I have to do is test it and then we can start the next stage of my plan," Dr. D explained cryptically, clearly confident and excited.

Kim and Ron crawled quietly through the vent and came to an opening near the ground. They jumped out and crouched behind a few crates and spied on Dr. Drakken. He jumped to his feet and looked very pleased with himself. "It's done!" he announced. Kim and Ron glanced at each other. That couldn't be good. Kim peered around the crate again and then with a small gasp spotted a cage containing a boy. He was a little younger than her but older than the Tweebs. He had white hair and green eyes and wore a black and white jumpsuit. She didn't know who he was but the fact he was in a cage was enough reason for her to trust him. She ducked back behind the crate. "Drakken has a boy caged on the other side of the room. You get him and I'll take care of Shego," Kim decided. "Wait, what about Drakken?" Ron whispered hastily. Kim raised an eyebrow. "He'll just stand there and get angry. He's not a problem," Kim replied knowingly.

"So what is that thing supposed to do Dr. D?" Shego asked disinterestedly. Ron began to creep over to the cage behind the crates and Kim crept closer to Shego. "This machine will help me to finally beat Kim Possible Shego. All I have to do is test it and then we can start the next stage of my plan," Drakken replied excitedly. Kim didn't like how confident Drakken was but then again he was usually confident his plans would work and they didn't. Kim just hoped she could get to the machine and shut it down before Drakken could test it.

Suddenly Shego stiffened. Danny saw her tense up and turn towards him. He tried to look as innocent as possible, not that he had tried anything but he always felt that she had caught him doing something. "Dr. D. we've got company," she warned as she was tackled by a girl from behind. Danny's eyes widened in disbelief. Someone was here to help. He had almost mistaken the girl for Jazz, she had red hair like his sister, but he knew it wasn't Jazz. This girl fought Shego with martial arts and flipping out of the way of Shego's peculiar green fire energy. She fought with expert ease and grace.

And so the heroes cross paths. Yep, not much for me to say except…

Until the next chapter.
