Unaware of all the danger that threatened them, Wendy was hanging in an old area of Gravity Falls with her friends, when she saw a familiar blonde arrive.
"Tara hey, glad you could make it," Wendy greeted her "let me introduce you to the gang; that's Lee, Nate, Tambry, Robbie…"
"Hey," Robbie commented, in his usual disaffected way.
"And, I think Thompson's around here somewhere."
"Aaah, bees! Get them off me!" Thompson yelled, as he ran nearby, a swarm of bees chasing him.
"Ah, classic Thompson," Wendy replied, chuckling a bit at her friend's misfortune.
"Ow! They're stinging me! Guys do something!"
"Don't worry buddy, we've got you covered," Wendy said "Tambry, start filming."
"I already started a few seconds ago," Tambry replied, using her cell phone to record everything.
"None of you are going to help him?" Tara asked.
"It's okay, he's fine, he likes this kind of stuff," Wendy explained.
"I am not fine, I do not like this kind of stuff!" Thompson yelled.
"Keep fighting the bees Thompson, they can't sting you forever," Wendy called to him "man, I wish they could keep stinging him forever."
"No offense, but you guys are mean," Tara said, "I know I'm new here, but how can you just let your friend suffer like that?"
"She's right guys, we need to help him," Wendy said.
"Yeah, we've got enough footage for a video anyway," Tambry added.
Wendy and company then ran over to where Thompson was lying.
"Dude, that was sick," Wendy told him "we filmed the whole thing, you're gonna get so many hits online."
"Yay!" Thompson replied weakly.
"Are you okay?" Tara asked, peeking down to look at him.
"Are you an angel?'" Thompson asked.
"No, but that's sweet of you to say."
"Thompson, this is Tara; she's in town for a few days with some friends of hers," Wendy explained.
"How long are you going to be in town, anyway?" Lee asked.
Tara shrugged "I'm not sure; as long as it takes for Kim to finish her mission."
"Kim's one of the friends she's staying with," Wendy added "she seemed pretty awesome, I'm hoping she can still stop by later."
"So, Tara, you have a boyfriend?" Lee wondered.
"Not really."
"So, while you're in town, would you like to maybe, go on a date?" Lee asked.
"Sure, that sounds fun," Tara replied.
"All right, the Lee man scored a date," he said, slapping five with Nate.
"Way to go bro," Nate replied.
"You wanna go out with Lee? Seriously?" Wendy asked.
"Sure, he seems nice," Tara replied "besides, last night, I had a talk about true love and it made me think about trying to find it. Who knows? Maybe he could be the one."
"Yeah, somehow, I doubt it, " Wendy told her "but hey, you do what you feel you gotta do."
Just then, Tara's phone rang, and she reached into the purse Kim had given her and retrieved it "hello?"
"Tara, are you okay?" Kim's voice came over the other end.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Listen, do you still have that necklace you bought the other day?"
"Yup, I haven't taken it off since," the blonde replied, looking down at the shimmering jewel at the end of it.
"Okay listen up, there are some bad people who want to steal it from you," Kim told her "so just stay there and don't do anything; Ron & I are coming to get you."
"Bad people?" Tara asked "does this have anything to do with that monkey guy?"
"Monkey guy?" A confused Nate asked, but Wendy shushed him.
"Yes, now stay put,"
"Okay, I won't leave this spot," Tara told her "oh, and I met this guy; he's not that cute, but he seems nice."
"Tell me later, okay?" Kim said from over the phone "we'll be there soon; we're kind of stuck right now."
"No problem, oh, and everyone's looking forward to finally meeting you," Tara added, before hanging up and putting away her phone "that was Kim, she's on her way to get me. I guess some bad guys are after my necklace or something."
"Bad guys? Seriously?" Robbie asked "what is your friend, some kind of superhero or something?"
"Knock it off Robbie," Wendy scolded him "it's cool, we can wait here for Kim. And that is a pretty necklace I guess, though I don't know why anyone would want to steal it."
"Because it is the key to a power your feeble teenage mind could only imagine."
The teen turned around and saw Monkey Fist standing nearby.
"Um, who the heck are you?"
"That is none of your concern," Monkey Fist told them "hand the amulet over, and I may consider sparing your lives."
"Not a chance," Wendy told him "we don't listen to adults, especially ones with way hairy feet and hands like yours."
"Yeah what's up with that dude, don't you know how to shave?" Nate mocked.
"Tara's one of us, so if you want her necklace, you'll have to go through all of us," Wendy added, striking a fighting pose as her friends, even a recovered and swollen Thompson did the same.
"Have it your way," Monkey Fist said and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, a group of monkey ninjas and Drakken's henchmen appeared "now then, who wants to be first?"
"Oh man, I just remembered I've got some um…teenagery stuff to do," Nate replied before running off.
"Yeah me too," Lee added, and soon all the teens ran off, save Wendy.
"Get the amulet," Monkey Fist ordered "the females are of no importance."
"No importance huh? We'll see about that, banana breath!" Wendy said, picking up a stick "Tara run, I'll handle these freaks."
Tara nodded and headed off, as Wendy looked at the onrushing group of minions.
"Okay, I may have made a huge mistake here."
Tara, meanwhile ran as fast as she could, occasionally looking behind her to make sure she wasn't being followed.
"Come on Kim, where are you?" she asked, but didn't look where she was going and collided with something.
As she looked up, she saw one of Drakken's henchmen standing in front of her.
"Thank goodness I found you," he said.
"Back off creep, I'm warning you!" Tara said, trying to be as brave as she could "I've got a…purse!" she warned "how does this thing work? What was it Kim said? Oh yeah, pull on the strap."
"No wait, hold on, let me explain du…" was all the henchman could manage before Tara yanked the strap on the purse. The bottom opened up and a pair of darts attached to wires emerged and landed on him; then a powerful jolt of electricity came through the wires, shocking him into unconsciousness.
"A purse taser, that's handy," Tara commented "yeah, take that you big goon! I don't know why Kim didn't want me coming along with her on this mission. With this baby," she said, fingering the purse "I can take out anybody. Come on you bad guys, gimme your best shot!"
Unfortunately for Tara, she was too busy bragging and was quickly seized from behind, her arms each held by one muscular arm, causing her to drop the taser.
"Ugh, let go of me!" she said, struggling against the grip of her captors "let me go right now!"
"I'm sorry, but you have something we want," came a voice, with Drakken then walking into view "I'm sure you must be frightened knowing you have been captured by the legendary Dr. Drakken."
"I'm not afraid of you blue boy, Kim says you're a big loser," Tara replied.
"Loser? That's a little harsh, don't you think?" Drakken replied "now, hand over the necklace!"
"I can't, your goons are holding my arms."
"Gaah, what is it with you teenagers and sass? Don't they teach you to respect your elders in high school?"
"Yeah, but not blue freaks like you!" Tara retorted.
"Oh, I think you'll change your tune, once you're exposed to the Mask of Magorga," Drakken said, before ripping the necklace off Tara's neck.
"Hey, that's mine!"
"Well now it's mine; that's how stealing works, which I do, cause I'm a bad guy."
"I think she knew that," Shego told him.
"Never mind," Drakken replied "bring the girl; she'll be insurance that Kim Possible won't interfere with our scheme," then he glanced down at the shocked henchman "and someone revive him, we'll need everyone we can get for this scheme."
"Well that little diversion cost us precious time," Kim commented, as the Sloth made its' way towards the clearing where the teens were hanging out "I just hope we're not too late."
"Relax Kimbo, I'm sure Tara is okay," Ron told her "you gave her that special purse Wade made."
"True, and it's not like Drakken or Monkey Fist know she has what they're looking for," Kim replied, unaware of how wrong she was.
Seeing the clearing up ahead, Kim stopped the car and the four got out. But they saw hide nor hair of anyone, let alone Tara.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, Wendy and crew come here all the time," Mabel replied "maybe they went to the store or something."
"Oh man, thank goodness you guys got here!"
The kids heard Wendy and saw her come out from behind a nearby tree.
"Wendy what happened, where is everyone?"
"Sorry Kim, I did what I could, but there were too many of them."
"Too many of what?" Kim asked.
"We were just hanging out, like usual, when this hairy dude showed up," Wendy began.
"Monkey Fist," Ron said.
"Oh yeah," Kim added.
"Anyway, he wanted your friend's necklace and I was all 'no way, you'll have to go though us to get it' and he was all 'okay' and then all these clothes wearing monkeys and red suited dudes came out."
"And then what happened?" Kim asked, dreading the answer.
"I told Tara to run and tried to fight them, but those guys had swords and weird staff thingies so I ran off," Wendy said hanging her head in shame "man, I am so weak."
"It's not weak to run away from a fight you can't win," Kim told her "did you see which direction Tara went in?"
"Over there," Wendy said, pointing nearby "I hope she got away."
The teens and kids walked over to where Wendy had showed them and began looking for any signs that would help them locate the blonde.
"Over here" Rufus said, and began chittering loudly, attracting the others to what he was looking at.
"Dude, you realize your pet has no hair, right?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, he happens to be a naked mole rat," Ron explained.
"Whatever, it's just weird is all."
"What did you find Rufus?" Kim asked, then looked at what the mole rat was pointing at, causing her eyes to grow nearly larger in shock.
There, lying on the ground was the taser purse.
"They have her," Kim replied.
"Now, let's just calm down Kim, maybe Tara just dropped this," Ron suggested.
"Ron, this thing has been used recently," Kim explained "she must have used it to fight off someone and was overpowered. Ooh, I knew bringing her along was a bad idea! I told her she didn't know what she was getting into! But she was all excited and had this really big smile and well, I couldn't say no."
"It's cool, we'll find her," Wendy said "don't beat yourself up about this."
"Don't beat myself up? One of my friends is being held prisoner by two of my enemies, and that never would've happened if I'd been firmer with her and told her not to come," Kim replied "whatever they do to Tara is on my head."
"Don't worry Kim, we're behind you all the way," Mabel told her.
Kim's eyes narrowed "okay, if we're gonna stop them and rescue Tara, we need to beat them to their destination. Wasn't it mentioned that the mask was hidden in the mountains somewhere?"
"I think so, yeah," Dipper said.
"Then that's where we're going," Kim said.
"Count me in," Wendy added.
"Sorry, but I've already endangered one person's life, and I can't afford to risk another."
"Look, there's no way I'm letting some freaks take over my town," Wendy replied "and besides, my dad's a lumberjack, and I have three brothers, with whom I often fight. I'm not exactly helpless."
Kim sighed "fine, do you have anything to defend yourself with?"
"Back at my house," Wendy said "can we stop there?"
"Do you get carsick?"
"Nope."
"Then we'll be there in no time."
Meanwhile, Drakken , Monkey Fist and their goons were heading towards the mountains of Gravity Falls.
"I still don't see how an amulet is supposed to lead us to this mask," Drakken said, inspecting the amulet.
"That is because you do not understand the workings of ancient artifacts," Monkey Fist told him, grabbing the amulet "I, on the other hand, do."
"Oh? Then if you're so smart, tell me how it works, monkey boy," Drakken replied.
"Exposing the amulet to the sun, will create a beam of light that will shine the way to the cave where the mask is hidden."
"Bah, I could've thought of that!"
Monkey Fist ignored him and held the amulet up, allowing the sun to shine unto it; a ray from the sun shone through the jewel and pointed at one of the mountains.
"That way," Monkey Fist pointed "our destiny lies within our reach."
As the villains headed on, at the rear of the procession was Tara, her hands tightly tied behind her and rope secured around her chest, and a gag tied over her mouth. The girl was flanked by a pair of Drakken's goons, one of whom was the one she had electrocuted earlier.
Kim was right, I was way out of my league dealing with these guys she thought I guess she made it look easy. But I just can't stand here and let them get away with this. If only there was some way I could slow them down.
Next time, our heroes race again time to stop the villains from obtaining the mask, and receive help from an unlikely ally.
