In the downtown area of Pleasant Hills stood the old Bratwurst Palace restaurant. Once a thriving eatery, the castle-shaped building now stood abandoned, a victim of economic times. However, one person still had interest in the old place, and inside the restaurant, Dementor was as giddy as a Bavarian schoolgirl.
"Vhat a day zis has been Myron" he said, as he walked around, avoiding the various empty tables that littered the place "I eliminate two of mein greatest enemies, und gained a new member for my evil little family."
"Things sure are working out for you BIL" Myron replied.
"I thought ve had a talk about ze BIL thing!" Dementor said "now, go warm up our escape vehicle. If I have to spend another minute in zis accursed town I vill go ze cuckoo."
After his brother in-law left, Dementor clasped his hands in delight "lady luck has smiled upon me today. Mein two greatest enemies are gone und now I have a young lady to mold in mein likeness. Zis day is too perfect."
"Then allow us to rain on your little parade" came a familiar voice.
"It can't be!" Dementor shouted "zere is no way you could've escaped my trap!"
"I'm more resourceful than you think" Agent K replied, before kicking down the door to the restaurant, Kim, Ron, and the others behind her.
"I don't know about you guys, but I could go for some bratwurst while we're here" Dick said.
"Dad, the place is deserted, there's no food left" Todd explained.
"Ahh man, I knew I should've eaten before we came."
"It's over Dementor, make this easy on yourself and surrender" Kim ordered.
"How about I take a second option?" Dementor asked.
Suddenly, Dementor's henchmen emerged from behind the counter, or the door leading to the kitchen, armed with a variety of weapons "as you can see, I still have mein henchmen, and zey are, as ze kids would say, packing ze heat. Destroy zem!"
"He never learns, does he?" Agent K asked Kim.
"For a mad genius, surprisingly no" Kim replied "time for another henchman smackdown."
The redhead flipped in the air and took out one of the goons, just as another fired the HenchCo brand laser at her. Kim somersaulted to avoid the blasts, then ducked behind a table and used it as a shield.
"Got yer back KP" Ron said, as he rushed the henchman from behind and knocked him down. Before the goon could recover, Ron kicked away his laser.
"Not so tough without your fancy laser gun thingy, are you?" he asked, before the guy got to his feet, displaying his full, imposing muscular frame "you know, in the past, I'd be totally afraid right now, but due to recent circumstances…well, let me show you."
The henchman launched a punch, with Ron grabbing his fist in mid swing. He then swung the muscular goon around as if he weighed nothing and tossed him into another pack of tables.
"I will admit, that was impressive" Agent K replied, as she dodged attacks from another of Dementor's goons, before taking him down with a kick to the face.
"Okay seriously, vhen my foes get upgrades, people need to inform me!" Dementor shouted "otherwise, how am I supposed to defeat zem?"
"Easy, you don't" Kim said, jumping out from behind the downed table. Another goon attempted to attack her with energy firing gauntlets, but Kim ducked, and slid through his legs.
The henchman turned around and began blasting Kim, who ran around the place dodging his blasts, some of which came dangerously close to her.
"Okay, their weapons are ferociously dangerous" Kim said.
"That doesn't mean they can't be beaten, however" Agent K replied. Kim saw the blonde secret agent fire her grapple at the ceiling and swing towards the henchman. He barely had time to turn around before both her feet crashed into his head, sending him into another table and knocking him out.
"Thanks for the save."
"No problem. We heroes have to stick together" Agent K replied.
"Watch out!" Kim shouted, as one of the henchmen came up behind K, but the spy easily flipped him over her shoulder.
"The old 'sneak up behind someone' trick, I really thought these goons would be smarter than that" she commented.
While Kim watched on to make sure Agent K was okay, she failed to see the goon sneaking up behind her, until he had her in a crushing grip.
"Use your muscular enhancer und squeeze her into nothing!" Dementor ordered.
"Not gonna happen dude" Ron said, launching a football tackle at the guy, sending him to a mass of tables and freeing Kim.
"Thanks again Ron."
"No problem, just a little something I picked up from my days as a running back."
"I thought the purpose of a running back was to, you know, run."
"Yeah, but there's tackling involved. Sometimes."
Agent K meanwhile, flipped the last henchman over the serving counter. "Coming up, one serving of goon, hold the sauerkraut" she quipped.
Seeing that all of the goons were gone, Kim confronted Dementor.
"It's over Dementor" she said "looks like you should have taken that surrender option."
"Not quite fraulien Possible" Dementor said "you are forgetting mein ace in ze hole. She should be quite familiar to all of you."
He stepped aside to reveal the brainwashed Riley, dressed in the uniform of his henchmen, and wielding a large bazooka.
"Okay, this could be bad."
"RUN!" Agent K said, with the heroes abandoning the restaurant before the bazooka fired.
They dived out just in time, as the rocket obliterated the roof and most of the walls of the restaurant.
"Good thing I did not put a deposit down on zis evil lair" Dementor commented "now zen, prove your loyalty to me and destroy zem, won't you?"
"Yes father" Riley replied, running out of the ruined restaurant and into the parking lot, where the heroes were recovering.
"Okay, so what's the game plan?" Kim asked.
"We disable that helmet" Agent K explained "that should restore Riley to normal."
"Okay, but how do we do it without hurting her?" Kim asked "or making sure she doesn't hurt us?"
"If you like, I have something that might work" C.A.R suggested.
"It wouldn't happen to be missiles, I hope?" Agent K asked, a hint of suspicion in her voice.
"Why do I even have the missiles if you won't let me use them? Okay fine, a laser then."
"I've got this" Kim said, "cover me."
Kim ran towards Riley, who aimed the bazooka at her. Kim ducked under the oncoming rocket, then leapt up and kicked the weapon from her hands.
"Okay, now we'll do this my way" she replied, launching a kick, which Riley caught, much to Kim's surprise.
"Okay, when did you get good?"
Riley ignored her and flipped her leg, but Kim managed to land on her feet. She then launched several punches at Riley, who managed to block all of them.
"Seriously, when were you this good?" Kim asked.
"Oh yes, perhaps I forgot to mention" Dementor chimed in "but I equipped her vith ze Dexterity Augmenter, a delightful device zat improves ze quickness und skills of anyone wearing it. It's mostly used for training rookie henchmen. Also, under ze influence of ze brain helmet, she believes anything I tell her, including zat she is good at ze martial arts."
"Oh come on, that's hardly fair" Kim responded, dodging another attack from Riley.
"I am a villain, I don't play fair."
"Come on Riley, fight Dementor's control over you" Kim said "I know the real you is still in there somewhere."
Riley didn't respond and delivered a kick to Kim's gut, knocking the teen hero for a loop. Then she produced a grenade from her uniform and tossed it at Kim, who quickly rolled away before it exploded.
"Giving a teenager grenades? You've sunk to a new low Dementor" Kim said, before avoiding two more of the projectiles from Riley.
Meanwhile, Ron & Rufus were watching from the sidelines, when the blonde-haired boy got an idea.
"Rufus buddy, while Kim keeps her busy, you disable the helmet thingy."
"Okay" Rufus said and scampered off to do his task. Back at the fight, Riley had run out of grenades, and was back to fighting Kim one on one. The teen hero was successfully avoiding her blows, but was still getting nowhere.
"Look Riley, I really don't want to hurt you."
"Me neither. I want to destroy you!"
Riley then delivered a roundhouse to Kim's face, knocking the teen for a loop. As Kim struggled to regain her senses, she saw what she thought was Rufus headed towards Riley.
"Say auf wiedersehen, Possible!" Riley shouted angrily.
"Now you're talking German? Okay, this is way too much."
Thinking quickly, Kim got to her feet and grabbed Riley, holding the girl's arms at her sides.
"Unhand me, you redheaded scum!"
"I'm going to chalk that up to the brainwashing" Kim said "hurry Rufus."
Rufus scampered up Riley's shoulder to her head, and began to look at the dials on the helmet.
"Oh no you don't, little rodent!" Dementor said, coming out of nowhere and grabbing Rufus. Kim was distracted by this, with Riley stomping on the teen hero's foot, causing her to lose her grip. Riley then flipped her over, and retrieved her fallen bazooka.
"Finish her off!" Dementor ordered.
Kim quickly rolled away before Riley could fire, but the brainwashed girl had her weapon aimed at the collected group of heroes.
"So long, losers" she cackled evilly, as her finger slowly squeezed the trigger.
"Wait!" Agent K shouted, putting herself in front of the others. "You want to shoot, Riley, you go ahead and do it. But I know you don't have it in you. I know you won't fire that weapon at me, because I'm your mother. And maybe I'm not your biological one, but I love you as much as any woman can love a child. No brainwashing can change that"
"Zat vas a very nice speech, but I do have a world to conquer" Dementor replied "finish zem off, now!"
Riley continued to squeeze the trigger, but her finger hesitated, and she dropped the bazooka, then grabbed her head, as if experiencing a migraine.
"What's going on?" Ron asked.
"I'd say we're getting the old Riley back" Kim explained.
The girl continued to clutch her head, until, after a few minutes, she stopped, and her demeanor changed.
"Ugh, what happened?" she asked, before noticing everyone "um, where am I, and what are you all doing here?" Then she looked down "and why I am wearing these ugly clothes?"
"Yup, she's back" Kim said happily.
"Okay, vhat exactly just happened here?!" Dementor asked angrily.
HenchCo HQ, several months earlier…
Jack Hench was sitting at his desk, listening to a proposal for a new product.
"Basically, it's a helmet that has the power to brainwash anyone that wears it" a scientist explained "but it does have one flaw."
"And that is?"
"If the brainwashed subject is confronted by intense love, say that of a mother for a child, it will cause the helmet to malfunction and the subject to regain their free will."
"I see, and can this be fixed?" Jack asked.
"Possibly, but it would take at least several million more dollars" the scientist explained.
"Okay you know what, just ship them out as is" Jack said "and we just won't mention this little flaw. Besides, what are the odds of that happening?"
"Riley, I'm so glad you're back" Agent K, said, running forward and hugging her.
"I'm glad to be back" Riley said "and I love you too."
"Okay, time for me to fly ze proverbial coop" Dementor said, hoping to sneak away.
"Not a chance" C.A.R said, and released a gun from his hood, which launched a net that ensnared the German villain.
"Vhy can I never win? Vhy?!"
"Probably because you're the bad guy" Ron explained.
"Hey everybody, look what I did" Dick said, holding a struggling Myron in one hand and a brat in the other "I caught this guy while you were doing your fighting thing."
"Dad, you went back into the burned out restaurant to look for more food, then saw him and asked him if he had any relish" Todd explained "and I pointed out to you that he was one of the bad guys."
"Let me tell the story my way son" Dick replied.
"Where'd you get the sausage dude?" Ron wondered.
"Oh, there was still a whole bunch of them back in the burned out freezer" Dick explained, before taking another bite "mmm, still good."
"Well, we've all had a very exciting day" Agent K replied "but I think it's time for us to go home."
"You know, there was something at the house I was supposed to do, but now I can't remember what it is" Todd said "oh well, I'm sure it wasn't that important."
Meanwhile, back at the still damaged Daring home, a visitor had arrived.
"Hello Todd" Shelton called as he stepped through the open doorway "is anyone here? I came for my Kim Possible autograph."
The nerdy kid scanned the house but saw hide nor hair of the family.
"Hmm, maybe they stepped out for a moment" he said "oh well, I'll just wait here."
As he made himself comfortable on the couch, he noticed something on the table.
"What's this?" he asked, picking up the now harmless bomb "looks like some kind of high-tech alarm clock. Oh, but its' wires have been cut. I know, I'll take it home and repair it, as a way to thank Todd for my autograph. Hopefully he'll be back soon."
With that, Sheldon left the house, unaware he was carrying a disabled explosive device.
Okay, next up is the finale, with the standard "characters wish each other goodbye" thing. I really need to start writing different endings. Oh, and will Sheldon get hurt by the bomb? Read to find out.
