A/N: I have to apologize again. Updates have been few and far between, I realize. I've been very busy lately, but I am going to try my best and get this story done within the next two weeks. There's only going to be about two or three more chapters, but expect another KP story from me very soon. I've got an idea in my head that's slowly taking shape. Thanks to everyone who's read or reviewed (or even waited patiently for updates) for this story! On to the next chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible. It belongs to Disney and its creators. If it was in the show, I don't own it. I am not doing this for money, only for fun and practice.
Chapter 9: Is This What It Was Like In The Olden Days?
Monday morning marked the start of a brand new day, and the start of a plan taking shape.
Drakken had kept Shego up all night, making sure she new "the basics" of the plan. Really, the basics were just her making sandwich runs for him while he mapped out the first places to hit with his electricity sucker thingy. Needless to say, she had only gotten three hours of sleep last night, and she was irritable.
"SHEGO!" Drakken called.
"WHAT?" Shego yelled back. "What could you possibly need now? Fuzzy slippers? A pipe, maybe?" Drakken shrank back.
"I… I just wanted a sandwich…" he replied quietly. Shego blinked.
"A sandwich! Of course, how could I have forgotten? You've wanted a sandwich every hour on the hour for the past 8 hours!" Shego answered, somewhat sarcastically.
"Uh… Never mind. Forget the sandwich. It's time to start my plan anyway! I've decided my first hit will be none other than the hometown of Kim Possible!" Drakken stated.
"That wasn't obvious? I figured that out twelve hours ago. It took you all night to pick Middleton?"
"Well… Yes. There's a lot of Middletons in this country. I had to make sure it was the right Middleton." Shego shook her head. There was no need to comment on that. It spoke for itself. Drakken made his way over to the control panel and began to press a series of buttons. The machine started up the same way it had before: lights flashing, billowing smoke, beeping buttons. But then there was something different: A lightning-like bolt shot out of a spout at the top of the machine and blasted somewhere into the sky. Within the next few moments, a light on a digital map began to flash.
Middleton had been hit.

Kim walked down the stairs to the kitchen, her backpack slung over her shoulder.
"Morning, Mom!" she called as she sat down in the booth at the kitchen table.
"Morning, Kimmie! Sleep well?" her mother replied, setting a breakfast plate in front of her daughter.
"Like a rock," Kim replied, digging into the pancakes in front of her. Pounding footsteps were heard coming down the hallway, and then two identical twins entered the room.
"Morning, boys!" Mrs. Possible greeted her sons.
"Morning!" they replied in unison. One of them set a large metal object on the table, and began tinkering with it.
"Jim, what have I told you about working on your projects at the breakfast table?" Mrs. Possible scolded her son.
"Sorry, Mom!" Jim replied, heaving the device onto the floor… and onto Kim's foot.
"OW! Tweebs!" Kim exclaimed.
"Oops… sorry," Jim said. The rest of breakfast was uneventful, with Kim, Jim, and Tim eating in silence. Just as the group was about to head to school, the lights flickered, and then went out.
"Hmm, that was strange," Mrs. Possible said, coming back from checking the transformer box. "Nothing seems to be damaged. I'll have your father look at it when he gets home tonight."
"Hopefully it doesn't last that long," Kim said, whining slightly. The Possible children exited the house and made their way to school.

Kim met Ron on the way to school, and once they got there, things got a whole lot stranger.
"The power is out here too?" Ron exclaimed.
"It's probably out in the entire town," Kim pointed out. Each hoped it wouldn't last very long. But by the end of the school day, no electricity had been available.
"That… was… horrible," Ron whined. "All day… a-and no 'Zombie Mayhem'! Is this what it was like a hundred years ago? How did those people live?" Kim rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure the city will get it figured out soon," Kim reassured him. But hours passed, and still no electricity. Needless to say, it was a very dull night for the Possibles and the town of Middleton.
But in a building very nearby, one Dr. Drakken celebrated the success of his plan.
