Chapter 4
Kyo opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by an eerie black fog. He must have been separated from Kim, but he couldn't remember for the life of him what happened.
I like the way you phrased that.
Kyo looked around, not sure where the voice came from, "Who's there!" he cried.
Not this again. I don't have time for it. There was a pause. I guess I have plenty of time, but I still don't want to hear it.
Kyo still wasn't sure what was going on, but before he could confront the voice, the black smoke seemed to be sucked away and he found himself somewhere he'd never seen before. The room was very wide with a small layer of water on the floor. He could hear a constant dripping from somewhere in the room. Three of the four walls were bare, but the fourth looked like a prison door. If that wasn't enough, there was a seal on the door as if someone didn't want ghosts to get out or something.
Not ghosts, but real close.
There was the voice again, but this time it was louder, as if the owner was close. What was going on? He really hoped the voice didn't belong to whatever was on the other side of the door.
Bingo, though I'm not sure why you don't recognize my voice.
"Who's there?" Kyo yelled again. He wasn't necessarily too fond of this voice reading his mind.
It didn't bother you before.
"Stop it!" Kyo said.
Oh my, it seems like you don't remember. Let's see, there was another pause, There seems to have been a very powerful medical ninjutsu used on you to seal your memories.
"Can you fix it?"
The voice cackled, I could, I am after all your own personal demon, Kyo could hear some spite when he said the last two words, But I won't.
"How can you just say that?" Kyo said, "I really need some help!"
I won't reveal all of your memories, but I will tell you SOME information. It wouldn't be any fun to reveal the whole truth!
Kyo chewed his lower lip. He didn't want to give this voice the satisfaction, but he did need the help. Maybe he could find something to help Kim out.
Kim? Who's that? Another girl admirer? So you cut our visits for a couple of months and I end up missing everything?
"Another? So that means that I am indeed a ladies' man?" Kyo said, smiling.
I never saw what they saw in you, but they always seemed to fall in love with your kindness. The worst part was, you never even noticed. They could have been literally throwing themselves at you and you would have been just as oblivious
"Yikes," Kyo said.
Well, anyways, I'll unlock a portion of your memories, but I'll watch the rest to see what happens.
There was a blinding light and Kyo opened his eyes. To his surprise, he found himself in a seat on the plane sent by Wade. Kim was next to him going through some paper work.
Well, what was that supposed to do? Kyo thought. Whatever that voice was, apparently, he was full of crap. He sighed and pushed it to the back of his mind. He figured he could figure it out after they got to Drakken's.
He turned to Kim and smiled, "So what are we supposed to do?" he asked.
Kim didn't even look away from her paperwork, "We don't want Drakken to find this 'idol' so we're going to have Wade hack into the satellite and mess with the results until we can locate it."
"So why are we going?" he asked, "Can't Wade just hack from afar?"
"No signal," Kim said, "Here," She reached out and handed a small device, "It's the Ronmunicator, for now, it's a Kyommunicator," she said, "Ron can't really use it, so he wanted to use it while you were with me. You check out the nearby villages on a lead for your past, and I'll go hack Drakken."
"Sounds good," he said.
...
Kim silently made her way through the air duct until she was over what looked like a giant computer room. With her hair dryer, she slowly lowered herself down into the room. She took a cord out of the Kimmunicator and hooked it to the computer.
She jumped to the side as footsteps echoed down the hallway.
Kim silently made her way through the air duct until she was over what looked like a giant computer room. With her hair dryer, she slowly lowered herself down into the room. Taking a chord out of the Kimmunicator, she hooked it to the computer. She jumped to the side as footsteps echoed down the hallway, Drakken's voice following.
"What do you mean Kenta's not here?" he yelled, "This was supposed to be his plan!"
She heard Shego respond in her usual condescending voice, "Who need him? Besides, he gave me the creeps anyway."
"Fine," Drakken said, sounding dejected, "We'll just go along with the plan and see if he shows up."
Kim sat silently, knowing that this was about where Drakken would gloat about his plans. She could feel the tension in the air as he prepared his monologue. He took a deep breath and just as he was about to talk, Kim felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck and she fell forward. The last thing she saw was Kenda's evil smirk before she succumbed to darkness.
…...
Kyo could barely contain his joy. Sure he didn't recognize this place at all so he didn't remember anything significant, but the natives were so nice and once they found out he was Kim's sidekick, they basically treated him like royalty. He was just about to head into the nearby arcade when he heard a steady rhythm of four beeps from his pocket. He took out the strange device and turned it over, looking for a way to make it stop making noise. Just as he was about to try to break it, Rufus gave an annoyed squeak at him and grabbed the Kyommunicator. He pushed a button and Wade flashed onto the screen.
"What's the sitch?" Kyo said, mimicking Kim's usual greeting.
"Bad news," Wade said, "I lost communication with Kim."
"Let's go get her, then!" Kyo said. He followed Wade's directions to a secluded building on a cliff side. He walked up to the door of the lair and knocked.
To Wade's astonishment, the door opened and a man in red spandex addressed Kyo, "Can I help you?" he asked.
Kyo pulled out a piece of paper and read from it, "Yeah," he began, "I'm here about the 'Help Wanted' add in the paper." he said.
The man looked at him suspiciously, "Are you with Kim Possible?"
"Who?" Kyo said innocently.
"Just making sure," he said, "You're dressed like Ron Stoppable, so I just wanted to make sure."
"Who?" Kyo said, keeping up the act.
The guy leaned down to Kyo, "He's Kim Possible's sidekick, but no one knows his name."
"Nope," I said, "I'm not him.
"All right, you're hired," he said.
"Just like that?" Kyo asked, a little confused.
"We really need more help, so I can check your credentials after the day is over."
The man introduced himself as Ernie and led Kyo deeper into the lair, explaining the requirements for the job, but Kyo wasn't paying attention. He surveyed the room, and somehow, he was effectively memorizing the surrounding. Somehow, this feeling was familiar to him. Maybe he did something involving surveying before.
Maybe he was a ninja?
Kyo smiled at the thought, but quickly looked back to Ernie to give the impression that he was paying attention.
"...because we're short handed, you'll be watching the prisoner."
Kyo perked up at this. He looked at Ernie with one of his winning smiles.
"Sounds fun." he said sharply.
Ernie shuddered, "That's what I thought too. Of course, that was before I was put on guard duty for the little she-beast."
Kyo just smiled, "I think I can handle one little girl."
Ernie chuckled, " Poor new guys don't know what's coming."
Kyo just smiled again. "Trust me, I can handle it."
Ernie shrugged and led him over to the henchies' lockers. Because he wasn't super muscular like most of the other henchies, it was difficult to find a uniform, so he ended up having to use one of the left over Hench-co. uniforms. At first, he was iffy about being the only splotch of grey in the sea of red, but he knew it was temporary, so he wasn't too worried. Plus, the goggles blocked his identity, so he couldn't be confronted out of work.
Ernie led him down the hall until they came to a room with a jail cell on the left. Behind the bars was the sexy red-head. He moved close to the bars and leaned in, "Hey, sexy," he said. Kim widened her eyes in realization, but quickly hid it behind a look of disgust.
Kyo leaned in closer, but Ernie put a hand on his shoulder and chuckled, "As funny as that was, Casanova, she's engaged, so hitting on her won't work. Besides, she seems too old for you."
Kyo smiled, "I like em' old," he turned to her and lifted his goggles to wink. When he put them back down, Kim launched herself at the bar, making him jump back. Ernie chuckled and pulled him back toward the desk.
"Yikes," Kyo said, "Maybe she's TOO much of a cougar."
Ernie chuckled again, "I'll leave you two to get 'acquainted'," he said
Kyo waited before the man left before addressing Kim, "So, how's it going?" he asked.
Kim rolled her eyes, "You suck at small talk," she said.
"Ouch!" he teased, "I guess I could just leave you there."
After a little more banter, Kyo finally gave in and let her out. They slowly made their way down the hall, making a plan all the way.
"Gee, I hope we don't get caught," he smiled, before hearing the sound of approaching footsteps. He earned a 'shush' from the red head and they made their way through the door. They snuck slowly, dodging each passing shadow until they found themselves in a large clearing.
"Well, where to?" Kim said, "You're the one who planned this escape."
Kyo chuckled, "Would you believe me if I said it's a work in progress?"
"Wow, Kimmie, you really know how to pick em'," came a voice.
Kyo shot his gazes toward the voice to be met with a sexy chick in green, "Wow," he said calmly.
The woman gave him a curious look, "Are you shocked that I came to kick your butt myself?"
"No," Kyo breathed, "Is it like a 'requirement' for women in this profession to be super sexy?"
Shego nearly fell on her face, and Kim smacked him in the back of the head.
"He has a point, you know," he heard above them. Suddenly, there was a puff of smoke and a man dropped down from the ceiling and continued, "I mean, c'mon Shego! Taking from the fact that you and Kim are bombshells, I thought the same thing."
"Kenda!" Kim said, the anger apparent in her tone.
Kyo was not bothered by this new appearance and continued his rant, "See? So I'm not the only one to realize this."
Kenda smiled, "You got some humor going for you, kid," he said, "It's going to make killing you all the more fun." With that, he launch himself at Kyo as a sign to start the battle. Kenda pulled out a Kunai, moving to skewer Kyo, but with reflexes he didn't know he had, he moved slightly, catching Kenda off guard, and grabbed his wrist, throwing him into a pile of boxes nearby.
Great, Kit, look what you've gotten yourself into. I guess I'll have to give you some of your memories back to ensure survival.
Why not all of them?
Even I cringe when I see them, Giving them now would probably kill you.
I guess my own personal demon knows best.
Just get back to the battle.
Kyo smiled as Kenda snarled and threw the boxes off of himself. Clearly, he wasn't expecting this reaction from the young blonde. He charged with is hand enveloped in what Kyo knew as chakra. Kenda made moved to jab him with his chakra, but Kyo would move with him and jump out of the way with each move. He could see the anger in Kenda's eyes. Apparently, having a kid dodge his attacks wasn't exactly 'fun' for him.
When Kenda looked tired enough, Kyo hit him with a spin kick and sent him flying. He went right between the spar between Shego and Kim and they turned to him, wide eyed. Kyo had to resist the urge to cheer at his success, but the growing number of henchies was starting to make it look difficult.
Now the technique.
Kyo rolled his eyes and made a few hand signs, "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"
There was a large crescendo and the room was filled with smoke, but when it cleared, there were fifty Kyo clones standing at attention and prepared for battle. The fight increased as hench attacked hench in a clash of red and grey. The henchmen were easy. Clearly, the only one worth fighting was Shego, and Kim was having all the fun. By then, the red head had been overpowered by the green girl, probably due to the poor living conditions that Kim had been put in.
Kyo signaled for one of his clones to grab Kim and jumped out. When they were clear, Shego turned her attention to Kyo and charged. To her surprise, he didn't move, but instead, the others joined him and together, Kyo and his clones clapped their hands and sent a gigantic gust of wind flying towards her. Next thing she knew, she was flying across the room, coming down with a crash.
"Careful," he said, smiling, "that last step's a doosey."
Shego gave him an annoyed look, "That's not even clever," she said, before succumbing to unconsciousness.
Kim rolled her eyes and pulled Kyo out the door.
…...
The train ride home was uneventful so far. Kyo changed back to his mission clothes, but he kept the goggles from the uniform and wore them like a headband. Kim asked him why, and he said that it just felt natural. After they got settled down, Kyo moved to the window to pass the time.
"Okay, first thing's first, we work on your banter," Kim said as the scenery rushed by.
Kyo turned away from the window to look up at her and smirk, "I beat them and that should be good enough," he said, "Why do extra unneeded work?"
Kim shook her head in shame, "A requirement for this job is clever quips," she sighed, "Shego is probably sharing with her villain buddies about that lame joke you made."
"I doubt that that was so important," Kyo sighed.
…...
Somewhere in Bermuda, a group of villains gathered around a poker table. Shego put down her hand and sneezed.
"A cold?" Gemini asked.
"Naw," Shego said, "Must be dust in the air.
Drakken rolled his eyes, "Well anyway, tell us more about the new buffoon," he said.
Shego held back a laugh, "So any way, like I was saying: He may have kicked my butt, but after, he said..."
…...
Kyo sneezed.
"Not a good sign," Kim said.
Kyo just rolled his eyes, "What do you know?" he said, "Besides, I summon a bunch of copies of myself and you focus on the banter?"
"I've seen weirder stuff," she said.
"Can I at least get a thank you?" he asked.
"You're right," Kim said, lowering her voice, "Thank you."
"That's it?" he asked, "No hug?"
Kim just rolled her eyes, "You gotta work your way up," she said.
Kyo was going to protest further, but he was interrupted by the four beeps. Kim grabbed the Kimmunicator out of her pocket and flipped it on, "Sitch me, Wade," she said.
"I found the idol," he said, "The problem is that Drakken has also found it, so he's probably headed towards it now."
Kim looked down, "I guess we should probably tell the others about it," She said, "They should be in my room, so you can reach them there."
"All right," Wade said, "I have already set you a ride at your next destination."
Kyo walked away as Kim and Wade planned further, thinking things over. Before he thought further, he heard a squeak as Rufus ran up his shoulder. He looked up at him and gave an encouraging squeak.
"Thanks for worrying, but I'm just thinking about getting my memories back," he reached down and scratched Rufus's head.
Rufus smiled and gave him an encouraging squeak.
"Thanks buddy," Kyo said, turning away so that the small rodent wouldn't see his worry. He sat down and waited patiently for the next mission.
…...
Shikamaru was sleeping soundly when the call came. His dream about clouds was cut short by the little munchkin shaking him. He sat up and yawned before relieving the tired boy of the telephone.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Is this Shikamaru?" he heard on the phone.
"Yes," he said.
"This is Wade, I have located the idol that Kenda is after. I have already sent Kim there, but now she wants you to meet her there."
Shikamaru sighed, "How troublesome," he said, "If you would give me the coordinates, I'll get the others.
"Even better," Wade said, "Your ride is waiting outside."
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, "Just like that?"
He could hear Wade's smile, "I called in a favor," he said.
Shikamaru didn't want to argue, so he just let it drop and woke the others. Within the next couple minutes, he found himself on a strange metal device that flew like a bird.
When they exited the device, they found themselves in a desert overlooking what seemed like an abandoned city. Some of the buildings were sunk into the sand while some weren't even visible.
Shikamaru sighed and look up at the city. Clearly, this was going to be troublesome, but he knew he had to get it over, so he walked into the desert and prepared for something to happen.
