The sign on the front of the house, the dome on the top, the various satelite dishes pointed at only their parents knew where. It was quickly pulling together into a shape the Fenton children knew all too well.
They stopped staring at the various mechanizations and quickly moved to enter the house only to discover it was locked.
Kim looked at Danny questioningly.
Danny shrugged. "First time we've been here, no keys."
Ron Stoppable looked down at his pocket and opened it, "Hey Rufus, can you get in the house and open the door?"
The nude, and slightly groggy Rufus made his way up to his friend's shoulder, "Uh-huh" his head bobbed with the words and skittered down Ron's leg and off into the bushes to find a way in.
Five minutes later the door opened and Rufus climbed back into his accustomed position.
Danny looked down at the pocket, "Thanks Rufus."
A tiny pink hand raised out of the pocket and gave him a thumbs up before retreating out of sight once more.
The group made their way into the house, and after several minutes of searching, into the basement that the Fenton kids were sure would house the new lab.
They were right, the basement already looked like Doctor Drakken's wet dream. The various machines, computers, and pieces of lab equipment were mostly unpacked, but several boxes were still unopened from the move.
The four teens quickly split apart and started to search the place for the ghost weaponry that they would need for the coming battle.
After several minutes of frantic searching Danny grinned, but before he could call out to the others his head swiveled when the sounds of crashing metal resounded from a corner of the building.
Ron sat in the middle of various guns, vacuums, cylinders, and various other pieces of equipment. He noted the people watching him, grinned, and shrugged his shoulders. "I found the weapons."
Kim shook her head as she walked forward and started picking through the various items, she layed all of them out according to type and started to pick and choose her equipment for the mission that was off even her, weirdar.
She started throwing back several items that Ron, despite his general lack of coordination, easily caught.
Danny himself only grabbed a couple of items, An improved version of the Fenton Baton, the same weapon he had familiarized himself with during the fight with the ghost pirates, two Fenton thermoses, and two covert ecto-blasters that would be strapped to his wrists.
Once he was equipped, he smiled again. "Come over here, I want to show you something." Ron and Kim exchanged looks as he led them across the room to an object covered by a white sheet. Danny pulled it off revealing a prototype exo-armor. "Heheh, This was made to increase human reflexes. It's the prototype for their ecto-skeleton. It was great for dodging and keeping up with them, but it wasn't useful in battle with them, so they gave up on it. It should give me an edge when I fight Vlad." He quickly strapped on the armor. "But I'm not counting on it."
Jazz noticed the strange look in his eye and followed his gaze down to something else that was sitting near it. Her eyes widened in horror. "NO! Danny, it's too dangerous"
Danny looked at her as their two friends stared on in confusion. "It has to be done Jazz. There's no way out of it."
Jazz looked at him again, "You had this planned all along didn't you?"
Danny nodded in confirmation. He quickly hugged her, then hit her over the head. She slumped against a table. "Sorry Jazz."
He looked over his shoulder at his two companions.
"Let's hurry, we don't have much time."
With that, the three heroes set to work.

Danny sat quietly on the ride there. His clothes, while a little on the big side were easy to move in. They were standard wear for the other two teens, in fact, what he was wearing was a set of mission clothes that had survived long enough for Ron to outgrow them.
He barely looked up as Ron walked over to him. "Was that, really necessary?"
Rufus looked at their friend worriedly.
"Yeah, yeah it was. Let me rest until we get there, I'm tired."
He sat still in the seat as Ron walked back to Kim. "Kim. This doesn't feel right to me."
Kim looked up at her boyfriend. "Yeah, I know. This isn't going to be a regular freak, is it Ron?"
Ron smiled. "Since when are any of them regular? But, this one, he might be out of our league. He took over your body."
She nodded in agreement. "Do you think Danny will be in any condition to fight when we get there?"
Ron shook his head. "I don't know. I've only seen him fight as a ghost. But he did lead those guys against ghost pirates, so, I guess it'll be okay."
Kim looked over at Danny before nodding. "Yeah, and that armor is going to help." Kim looked down at her white and blue suit. "I just hope this will."
She looked over at her boyfriend who was wearing their basic mission clothes. "Ron, what about you?"
He smiled secretly. "Oh, don't worry. I've got some tricks up my sleeves."
Kim quirked her eyebrow. "Really, and what is it you've been hiding from your best friend slash girlfriend?" She forced herself to glare.
Ron suddenly started to look uncomfortable. "Well, it's nothing really, but, uh, well, I've kinda been talking to Sensei, and he's given me some exercises. And well, err, let's just leave it at I have better control over monkey power."
Kim looked at him skeptically. "Uh-huh, and when were you goint to share this with me?"
Ron scratched at the back of his neck. "When things were going bad, and we were about to lose."
Kim's eyes flashed with intense anger and Ron closed his eyes against the coming pain. What he felt was a pair of lips press against his.
"Good thinking Ron. Trump cards are always a good thing to have." Ron still had his lips pursed from the kiss.
"Yea-eah." All I wanted to do was impress her. This works too. Ron looked into her eyes and then over at Danny who appeared to be sleeping. "Oh Kim?"
Kim looked back over at him and was surprised when Ron grabbed and kissed her.
"Have I ever told you how hot you look in the super-suit?"
Kim smiled. "I don't believe so."
"Then I need to." He kissed her again.

"Miss. Possible? We're on final approach. Are you ready?"
Kim looked at Ron and then Danny. They both nodded.
"Yeah, thanks."
"Well it was the least I could do after you reconnected that hydraulics line your brothers broke."
Kim blanched. "Oh yeah, well, no big. Uh, yeah." As Kim remembered that particular incident she blushed. "Right, let's go."
The three teens opened the door in mid-air and jumped.
