Kim Possible: The Episode You'll Never See
Story by Aero TendoAN: This takes place some time after the "So the Drama" movie. Slim and Joss are from the episode "Showdown at the Crooked D."
Chapter 11: Kim VS The New Shego or Kim Needs Ron(On Kim's Ride)
Kim was sitting in her seat on the VTOL jet that Wade had managed to get for her as the ride to Drakken's latest lair and where her family along with the GJ agents was being held.
Even though Kim was staring out the window and trying to stay focused, all she could think about was Ron. A fact that wasn't helped by the pilot's talk about the incident in which Ron was injured in. She mentally sighed while keeping a friendly smile towards the pilot.
The pilot had his visor down but would glance at Kim every so often and tell her how when he had heard of what happened to her partner, he had put his hat over his heart and told his fellow pilots and friends that such a great team didn't deserve that. He also told Kim that it had been him who had contacted Wade about the possibility of doing any favors for Kim and Ron.
Kim had half-listened through the whole thing because it just made her think even more about Ron and how strange it felt not to have him by her side on such a serious mission. A part of her conscience told her it was because she had come to being used to him by her side and still more told her that she was feeling guilty for not including him when she found out. She squashed such thoughts with the guilt and pain from their last mission in which he had ended up hurt and in a coma because of the very same foes she was now going up against.
The pilot noticed her lack of responses and that she was not with Ron so he guessed that she was thinking of her mission and Ron, which would have been only half-right. The pilot whose name tag and name on the side of the craft read, "Col. Adrian Flagg" says something to Kim that finally gets through to her when he says, "Ms. Kim, I noticed that your partner Ron isn't with you. Is he still recovering in the hospital?"
Kim nods and says, "Yes, but he is getting out later today but I plan to be done with this mission before he knows I am missing."
Adrian just smiles and says, "Trust me Kim, I have had many friends and partners on many missions and I can tell you that I have always missed them when they weren't with me when I needed them. And somehow, one or two even knew I needed them and would find a way to show up just when I needed them the most." He looks at Kim in the eyes before saying, "Trust me, I believe that Ron is one of those rare individuals who will always have your back and fight hard to help you when need it most."
Kim is touched by his words for in her heart, she felt the guilt and nagging melt away with the familiar comforting feeling that she normally had whenever Ron was with her on the missions. Like she knew that as long as she had him, everything would turn out ok somehow. She gives Adrian her most genuine smile and says, "Thank you, I do feel a little better now."
Adrian turns his attention back to his controls before saying, "I am glad to hear that. I will be waiting around if you need a ride back. Just be sure to give Drakken heck by freeing your family and the GJ agents, if my reports are right that will vex him a lot just by itself."
Kim giggles softly at the thought, remembering all the times Drakken had been upset when she threw a wrench into his plans and this plan seemed to be almost as elaborate as when he had used her father's technology to make toys become giant robots of destruction.
Kim says, "Thanks again, I'll be sure to just that." with a soft smile on her face before a thought of paying back led to Ron in pain and her eyes went cold in their anger. She shook her head of such thoughts as she knew that was not her usual style but because so much was at stake she knew she had to be extra careful. She knew that Drakken and Shego would be expecting her to show up but probably not so closely to when Ron was getting out of the hospital.
Adrian spots a good place to land and with the stealth feature of his jet, he landed very quietly behind stuff near Drakken's lair. He says, "Please be careful out there Ms. Possible. Anyone who can capture GJ agents is not to be underestimated."
Kim says, "No big, I have gone up against Drakken thousands of times and he hasn't beaten me yet." Adrian pulls off his helmet and looks at her in the eyes, "Kim, I am serious about this. Focus on just rescuing your family and those agents. Don't let what happened to Ron become your focus or you will surely lose to Drakken and if I know the kind of person Ron is, he will come to your rescue."
Kim paused in her reply, thinking about what he said before in a softer voice than normal she says, "I will do my best, I promise." This seems to satisfy him and he opens the door for Kim to hop out of. She waves bye to him before she starts at a run towards Drakken's lair until she gets close enough to see his defenses and sees that things were not going to be easy for her. Unlike his other lairs, this one had better and tighter security to it but still nothing she couldn't slip past.
She moves her hand to the pouch that normally had her kimmunicator but it was missing and she groans as she remembered that she'd left it in Middleton at her house. Fortunately though she had replacement ring in the pouch from when she'd been on another one of her missions without Ron around. She pulls it out and after she slips it onto her finger she turns it on and Wade appears on the tiny class ring crystal in its center.
Wade seems surprised to see her calling from the ring and says, "Hey Kim, what can I do for you?" Kim says, "Wade, it looks like Drakken has beefed up security since the capture of Dad and the GJ agents. I could use some help looking for a entrance." Wade nods and says, "Sure Kim!" before his fingers fly over the keyboard until he gets the information he needs.
Wade directs her through all the traps, sensors, cameras and past the guards standing guard outside until she can get to an air duct to which she enters through. Kim continues to crawl silently through the air duct and says without thinking, "Get ready Ron, we're almost there." She looks back by habit to see him reply but he wasn't there even though for a moment or two she could have sworn that she felt his presence there.
Kim softly whispers to herself, "Get a hold of yourself girl, Ron can't possibly be here. You left him back in Middleton for his own safety, remember?" She then sighs and continues to crawl through the air duct with the strange feeling of him being there lingering but she just attributes it to wishful thinking and the old habit of him always being there. She peeks through the air vents as she crawls through until she sees some guards pass below here as they talk about how boring guarding the prisoners were because they never tried anything with the other agreeing.
Kim figures that she must be close and crawls in the direction they'd come from until she sees two cells. One has her father and the tweebs while the other cell had GJ agents in it. After a few moments to watch the guards change with fresh ones she slowly opens the air vent and gets ready to hop through.
(Earlier in Drakken's Lair)
Shego was warming up in her specialized workout room, which was a room that had been designed to resist the old Shego's plasma power levels. She jumped forward and blasted a syntho-drone with a powerful energy blast even as she avoided its repeated energy blasts from the energy staff it held.
Shego had to smile with a bit of pleasure because she used what felt like her normal level but her levels had obviously gone up to a new bar because where her old blast of that same level would have punched a bowling-ball sized hole in the drone it now destroyed it from the waist up, leaving only the arms and the legs to fall to the floor.
Shego looked at her hands for a moment as she noticed that the flames that were usually a sign of her using her powers were now a more brighter and bigger as well as dancing more lively than usual. She grinned as she wondered how "princess" would be able to deal with her new power levels and the thought that she could defeat Kim was quite a pleasurable one.
Shego had thanked Will for releasing the new power within her by beating him up and then giving him a kiss on the lips. She shuddered at the memory of that as it had been very similar to when she kissed Cantu and that only made her grouchy than usual. So grouchy that both Drakken and the henchmen stayed out of her way and talked to her only if necessary which was fine for her since it gave her more time to explore the capabilities of her new powers.
She decides that she has had enough training so she goes and takes a quick shower. She is just coming out of the changing room when the alarms go off and a Drakken shouts, "Shego! She's here! She's trying to free our prisoners!"
Shego's lips form a slow, evil grin as she flexes her hands before they ignite in their new fiery dance, as she knew that Drakken was referring to none other than Kim Possible. She knew that this day had been coming but now with her new powers, she was looking very forward to how Kim would do against her.
(Meanwhile during the time while the alarms are going off at Drakken's lair)
Ron Stoppable had finally gotten out of the hospital and his parents had agreed that he could stop by and say hello to Kim at her house but no missions because he had to take it easy since that is what the doctor ordered.
Ron walked up to the house and knocked, and instead of Kim answering the door he was greeted by Slim with his cowboy hat on. Ron says, "Oh hey, Mr. Slim how's it hanging?"
Slim smiles and says, "Hey there Ronald, it is good to see you up and about. Come on in, Kim isn't here right now but I'm sure she'll be back soon. In the meantime there is a package on the coffee table in the living room with your name on it."
Ron's eyes light up and he says, "Bon-diggety! It must be the stuff Wade made for me!" before he runs past Slim and into the living room where he spots the package for him as well as a package for Kim. He picks up the package for him and is about open it when he hears a soft thud on the floor.
Ron cradles the package in one arm as he looks down and sees that it is Kim's kimmunicator! He leans down and picks it up, almost losing his balance with the package in his other arm before he says, "What's this doing here? This is Kim's kimmunicator."
Slim walks up behind Ron and says, "Maybe she left it here by accident." Ron looks at Slim and says, "But KP is almost never without it."
(Kim VS Shego)
Kim fought off the guards and the syntho-drones that also showed up in record time and was just about to get her father out when he shouts, "Kim, look out behind you!" She doesn't even question or look, she just moves quickly into a sideways roll and when she stops to look up she sees that Shego had just tried to strike her from behind as evident of the hole in the wall and a few sparks from whatever wires that had become exposed as a result.
Kim narrows her eyes and says in a cold voice, "Shego…" to which Shego just grins and says, "Hello Princess, where's the buffoon that you're usually with? Is he…her grin becomes more nasty still in the hospital? Or maybe he's had enough of this life and he decided not to join you? You know, I am glad that he got hurt because he was just a nuisance anyway." Kim had slowly been growing angry with every word about Ron that she had said until that last sentence from her pushed her into a rage.
Kim growled loudly, startling everyone who knew what Kim was usually like. Her father and the twins had NEVER seen Kim so angry before and she had plenty of opportunities to be angry at the twins for all that they'd done.
Her father was surprised as he watched Kim moved faster than he'd ever seen her move before and watched as she attacked Shego with such ferocity that even Shego was scared. He watched Shego barely block Kim's attacks and even most of those got through to hurt her.
Kim snarls, a first time in Possible history as Kim had always seemed so happy or relaxed, sure she could be annoyed but she never snarled at even her worse enemies before. Kim shouts, "Ron is a great guy! You could never understand what it is like to have a friend like him!" She then delivers a very hard kick to Shego's stomach that knocks the air out of her as she is sent flying down the corridor.
Shego's training had allowed her to soften the blow and she managed to flip up to her feet quickly enough but she still had to admit that Kim's kick had hurt. She wondered about the wisdom now that Kim would be more vulnerable with Ron hurt. If anything, her taunts had turned Kim into a wildcat and even with her new powers that had increased her speed and strength; she was just barely able to handle Kim. She had to find a way to get through Kim's savage attacks before she couldn't stand anymore all the blows she was taking.
Shego gets an idea and says as she jumps back, barely avoiding a sweeping kick, "Hey Princess, I wonder what your partner would say if he could see you now. I doubt he'd even recognize you."
Kim attacked Shego with a few more powerful punches and kicks and just as Shego finished her words, she had managed to punch Shego in the face to send her flying up against the hole where she had herself punched not too long ago, causing more wires to short and spark making the electrified bars cease to be but it still left the bars to get through.
Kim pauses a moment later as she stared at Shego as her words finally penetrated Kim's enraged mind. Kim looks at her hands that had some of Shego's blood on her knuckles from when she had hit her during their fight and softly says, "Ron…" even as she thinks, "Shego's right… Ron would barely recognize me… I barely recognize myself!"
Shego smiles as she sees a doubting Kim and sends a blast as wide as the corridor itself right at Kim. Kim doesn't see it until it is almost upon her and even though she tries to avoid it by running away from it, it moves too fast. The green flaming blast catches her on her back just before she would have gotten out of its range and she cries out "Ron!" before is sent flying hard into a wall and slumps down to the ground.
The last thing Kim sees before she passes out is Shego grinning down at her and she thinks, "I'm so sorry Ron…I fai…"without her even able to finish her thought as she blacks out.
Kim doesn't hear the anguished cries of both her father and twin brothers, nor does she hear the twins vowing to make Shego pay for hurting Kim. A single strand of her red hair moves over her forehead as Shego turns quickly and fires a blast through the cage, missing the twins and creating a hole over their head as she tells them to shut up.
Shego turns back to look down at Kim and thinks, "I guess Ron means more to Kim than I guess even she knew. I'll have to remember not to tease her about the buffoon unless I want her to fight like that again." She leans down and picks up the unconscious Kim and walks into a nearby and empty cell where she lays her down onto a cot before she turns on the energized bars, trapping Kim and knows that as long as the bars were on, she wouldn't be able to send or receive any signals to the nerd that was their partner.
Shego walks off to the medical place once as she was feeling very sore after her battle with Kim and she ignores the cell that had Kim's father and twin brothers so she misses that her blast, the one that she had meant to shut up the twins with had melted one of the bars completely through. Under her normal blasts, she would have blasted between them and struck only the wall but with her new levels, her blast was much wider and more intense.
Mr. Possible and the twins look in the direction of Kim's cell and wonder how she is, feeling helpless that they couldn't do anything until she was awake. Jim was the first to notice the condition of their cell and it wasn't long before the twins were planning a escape from their cell and more.
(Back at Kim Possible's Home)
Ron gets a weird feeling and a tingling sensation at the back of his neck, the same kind whenever he knew Kim was in trouble and he needed her but usually he felt like this whenever he saw her get knocked out or in serious trouble that she couldn't get out of by herself. He could feel the adrenalin start to flow just a little through his body and his mind was becoming a little sharper which gave him insight that he normally wouldn't have had.
Ron looks down at the kimmunicator and then at the packages before he looks up at Slim and says, "Mr. Slim, I think KP's in serious trouble…" and sees in his eyes only a light surprise, not the kind of doubting surprise that he was used to but the kind that he usually got when he was right which wasn't too often so he remembered whenever he got it.
Slim narrows his eyes a little but keeps his voice in a playful jest way as he says, "Now Ronald, just because Kim doesn't have her communicator doesn't mean that she's in any kind of trouble."
Ron was never one to be easily fooled as he could often read people like an open book and be right about it. He says, "You know I am right don't you? KP's in trouble! Where did she go?"
Slim softly sighs and says, "I honestly don't know where Kim is Ron, but please calm down. Remember what the doctor said, you are supposed to take it easy for a while and not stress yourself out."
Ron tosses down the package and it opens to spill out the new battle suit that Wade had made for him as well as some other stuff. He spins to put his back to Slim before he activates the kimmunicator and is instantly greeted by Wade's smiling face and Wade says, "Hey there Ron, did you like the suit I made for you? I hope it fits alright."
Ron says, "Forget the suit Wade, I have got to know… Is KP in big trouble or not? I have this gut feeling that is telling me that she is over her head."
Wade looks uneasy as he thinks, "How did Ron know? I just lost contact with Kim when she started to fight Shego…" He is brought out of his thoughts when Ron says, "Wade, please tell me. She is my best friend and I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to her!"
Wade closes his eyes as he sighs for a long moment before he opens his eyes and looks into Ron's eyes, seeing the worry and fire within that he'd seen only whenever Kim was in dire need. He didn't fully understand it, but somehow Ron knew that Kim was in trouble and he was worried as well. Coming to a decision he says, "Ron, Kim asked me not to tell you but… She went after Drakken because he had her father, the twins and some GJ agents that had been captured in a rescue attempt."
Ron's feeling had gone into high gear at the time when Kim had been blasted by Shego's blast. He puts on a very serious face and says, "Wade, please get me a ride to where she went. It is time for the Possible-Stoppable team to reunite against Drakken."
Wade saw the determination in Ron's face and eyes. He also knew that when it came to Kim, there was absolutely no talking him out of whatever he needed to do to help her. He could at least help Ron in some small way by reminding him.
Wade says as he types on his keyboard, "I'll let you know as soon as I have a ride set up but will you please wear the suit I made for you? I made it specially for you and it has a lot of features that should help you rescue Kim."
Ron looked like he was going to tell Wade something but when Wade mentioned that the suit could help him rescue Kim he seemed to change his mind and he picks up the suit slowly, holding it gently in his hand before he turns to Wade to say, "I don't know how to use the suit Wade, and I don't think there's time to learn."
Wade says, "It is ok Ron, I made it so that it is intuitive. You don't need to learn how to use the suit, it'll learn what you need and give it to you if it can. It is even more advanced that Kim's suit is."
Ron thinks, "Kim probably could use her suit if things are so bad that she could get captured." He says, "Thanks Wade, you so totally rock! Call me as soon as you have the ride and please make it a quick one. I have a feeling that Kim is going to need my help as soon as possible!"
Wade nods and says, "Will do Ron. Oh, and Ron…? Good luck and be safe ok buddy?" Ron grins and gives Wade the thumbs up as he says, "Thanks Wade but you're forgetting that you're talking to the Ronster! I've got more lives than a cat!"
Wade smiles at the energy of his friend and thinks "That's just like Ron, he always has a positive attitude." H says to Ron, "Yeah, I guess so. Now go put on that suit and try it out ok? The more you use it, the more it'll learn how to adapt to your needs."
Ron nods and says, "Thanks again Wade, I'll talk you later then!" and turns off the kimmunicator before he turns around to see Slim standing there with a firm expression upon his face and Joss is standing on the stairs with her hands on the rail.
Ron looks up at Slim in silence for the longest time before Slim reaches out and puts a hand onto Ron's shoulder gently, "Go get her and bring her back home safely, y'hear?"
Ron smiles up at him and says, "You bet! Thanks Mr. Slim!" before he dashes off and runs past Joss on the stairs to change upstairs.
Joss walks down the stairs and looks at her father, "Pa, why did you agree to let Ron go after Kim? You know the doctor's orders."
Slim sits down on the couch so that he is eye level with Joss and says, "Because, whether I agreed to let him go or not, that young feller would have gone and there was nothing that I have said or done to change it otherwise. He loves her and we both know that Kim loves him, do you think you would want to stand in the way of those two?"
Joss looks at her father in thought for a little while before she shakes her head, "No, I wouldn't want to stand in the way of those two and I almost kinda feel sorry for Drakken and Shego if they try because those two are like a force of nature all on their own."
Slim chuckles, "That they are, and that's part of the reason they make such a good team. They know that they can count on each other and they are in such sync from what you've told me that they're more reliable than my atomic clock that we have back at the ranch."
Joss giggles and says, "You're right about that, I bet everything will turn out just right for those two in the end."
Slim places a hand on her shoulder and says, "I reckon that you're right and if they do get captured again… just remember those two aren't out of family or friends, not by a long shot."
Joss gives her father a big hug and says, "You're right about that Pa."
Ron looks at himself in Kim's mirror in her bedroom that was tall enough to show himself from head to toe and he had to admit that Wade thought of everything. He had a pouch for the kimmunicator and even found in a pouch that he normally kept Rufus in a small Rufus battle suit.
Ron had to admit that also that he managed to look good and that the suit matched perfectly with Kim's that he had folded up and stuffed into one of the bigger pouches.
Ron looks down at Rufus and says, "Are you ready little buddy? We have to go rescue our best friend Kim." Rufus looks up at Ron from the desk by the computer and goes into a battle pose before squeaking a battle cry.
Ron chuckles and says, "That's the spirit Rufus! I guess we're ready now. All we need now is a ride to where Kim is." As if on cue, Wade appears on the screen in Kim's room and says, "Hey Ron, I thought I'd find you in her room. I have a ride waiting for you. It is about to land in front of the house in a few seconds."
Ron smiles and says, "Thanks Wade! I'll talk to you again when I've rescued Kim!" Before he waves and runs out of the room, pausing to grab Rufus from the desk. He runs down the stairs and shouts, "Bye Mr. Slim, Bye Joss! I am off to rescue KP!" Ron hears the quick goodbyes and good lucks from the two before he shuts the door to get on board the fast jet that Wade had arranged for him.
AN: Well, as you can tell Kim and Ron have grown MUCH closer since the beginning of all this. I liked the touch of having Rufus with his own suit, after all just because he's a naked mole rat doesn't mean he can't look the part like Kim and Ron. I thought with how much Kim's gone through, that her snapping and going after Shego like that was quite in her character. Besides I had to level the playing field somewhat with Shego's new powers and that's without Kim in her battle suit! Just imagine how Shego might have faired in it! Lol!
Darth Cruel: As you can see, Kim did dish out some payback to Shego. I used Rich's of Kim all scratched up and that flame background as my inspiration for how ANGRY Kim was at Shego in that very moment.
Ron-Sama: Thanks for the review. As for what the thing is that spies on Ron and Kim... heh-heh, you'll just have to wait and find out although I've given a few very, very subtle clues as to the identityof one of the shapeless forms.
PoisonousAngel: Nice to see I have a fan of my story. I hope you enjoyed this one as well.
Orphan: Looks like you were right, the mission wasn't totally safe. Let me know what you think of this one.
For all my readers, thanks for taking the time to read this chapter! Please review!
