Chapter 26: Cheapskate Scoundrel!
In a lagoon down in M-Tech City, Kim and Ron were both loading boxes off of a boat and handing them to a man with a red cap and a life vest onto the small dock next to them.
"Thanks for helping me with my Marine Biology Paper, Jerry." Kim said to the man.
"After all you've done to help us save the manatees, it's the least I could do, Kim." Jerry replied as he put another box onto a truck.
Rufus was getting bored. He looked into the water of the lagoon and started to see his reflection ripple a little. All of a sudden, a manatee came out of the water. Rufus yelled in fear and ran back to Ron, who was just about to put away his PET until he saw what Rufus had seen.
"What is it, Ron?" AncientMysticMan asked. "We got a Darkloid?"
"No, worse!" Ron exclaimed as Kim put down a box. "Giant amphibious Naked Mole Rat at one o'clock!" he yelled.
Kim gasped and got up.
"Where is it? Where is it?!" Miracle called out as she let out her MiracleWorker.
"Ron…" Kim said with a Sweatdrop before letting out a smile. "That's a manatee."
"Punjab is harmless…" Jerry said as he petted Punjab on the head. All of a sudden, a motorboat sped by, causing Jerry to cringe. "…Just wish I could say the same for the locals from DenTech." He mulled angrily.
"Okay, let's see who those are," Miracle said as she and AncientMysticMan both pulled up a screen. Soon, images of two men, one of them short with a nearly bald head but with brown hair and the other taller with black hair, came up. "Their names are Marv and Harry," she said. "Their home is Chicago, but they like to come to everywhere in the World to have fun, which is basically making a mess of things."
"They sound like bandits to me." Kim mused.
All of a sudden, Marv and Harry's motorboat dashed past the boat Kim and Ron were on. Punjab dived underwater and narrowly avoided getting hit by them.
"Those guys almost ran over Punjab!" Ron exclaimed.
"Should we call in the NetPolice?" AncientMysticMan asked.
Kim narrowed her eyes at Marv and Harry as they sped past Punjab again. This time, they started to drive in circles around him.
"I'll talk to them." Kim said. She leapt on top of the boat and narrowed her eyes at the boat. When it came by again, she took her chance and leapt on top of it.
"Hey, boys!" Kim called out to Marv and Harry, who turned around in confusion at the thudding sound on their motorboat. "This is a wildlife preserve!"
"Hey, we are the wildlife!" Harry, the short man, said.
"We'll see." Kim said as she took out her compact.
"No special moves this time, Kim?" Miracle asked. "I thought we always have tricks up our sleeves."
"Oh, we do," Kim replied. "Be prepared."
"Hey, Marv," Harry said to Marv, the taller man. "What does that crazy girl think she's doing?"
"She's obviously fixing her make-up!" Marv exclaimed. "It's because we're so good-looking!"
"Not quite," Kim said, placing her compact on the end of the motorboat. A cable came out, attaching itself to a tree. "And by the way, the NetPolice are already on their way," she added on before leaping off. "You gonna come in quietly?"
"Never!" Marv exclaimed triumphantly.
All of a sudden, the rotor on the motorboat snapped right off. Marv and Harry were both catapulted off with what was left of their boat before it crashed into the water.
"Way to go, KP!" Ron cheered as he and Rufus started to dance. Jerry's eyes suddenly widened with surprise. "Take a victory lap!"
"Not a good idea!" Jerry exclaimed nervously, getting Ron to see an alligator coming into the water and making its way towards Kim.
"Augh!" Ron exclaimed in horror. "Not a sea cow! Not a sea cow!"
"Kim! Behind us!" Miracle called out.
Kim turned around and gasped. "AreaSteal!" she called out. Her body disappeared for a short while, but it suddenly came back. Kim looked to herself and gasped. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Electromagnetic waves don't function normally underwater," Miracle explained to Kim. "That means you can't AreaSteal like usual or use the Battle Chip Gauntlets correctly."
"Great!" Kim exclaimed nervously as she started to swim back to the boat. "I can't believe I took my powers for granted like that!"
"Swim, KP!" Ron called out.
"Don't have to tell us twice!" Kim yelled out. She started to swim back to the boat quickly, with the alligator right behind her. She panted and soon reached the boat. Ron and Jerry both helped her up as she climbed up the ladder, but the alligator suddenly leapt out of the water and lunged itself at Kim.
"AreaSteal!" Kim yelled out nervously. It was a close call, but she teleported onto the boat right as the alligator slammed its mouth shut near her. She landed on the boat, falling onto her rear.
"Kim! You alright?" Ron asked as he ran towards Kim.
Kim groaned. She looked to her pants, which were now shredded from the attack. Luckily, it was not too much to worry about.
"Hold on," Jerry said as he started to go inside. "I've got some spare clothes inside."
Soon, the NetPolice arrived. Brick and Bonnie, both as new NetSaviors, came out and put Marv and Harry into the police car.
"We've made it," Manuela said as she looked to Famous on her PET. "Marv Merchunz and Harry Lime have been arrested, but Kim was attacked by an alligator while swimming back to the boat."
"See to it that she's okay," Famous ordered. "Take Bonnie, Brick, and a medical crew with you if needed."
"Roger that," Manuela said with a nod. "Manuela out," she said before looking to Brick and Bonnie. "You two and the Med Team, come with me." She ordered. Everyone nodded and made their way towards the boat.
"How many bites did I take from that gator?" Kim's voice said as Manuela, the Medical Team, Bonnie and Brick came on board the boat.
"Med Team… go back to what you were doing before," Manuela ordered. "You might not want to see this."
The Med Team left immediately as Manuela, Bonnie and Brick ran towards Kim, Ron and Jerry.
"Thanks to that AreaSteal, none," Miracle replied back. "But I can't say the same for your pants."
"Yeah," Ron said as he gave them back to Kim. "They are officially DOA."
"DOA meaning…?" Miracle asked with confusion as a question mark appeared over her head.
"Dead on arrival," GridMan said as he and Punk came in. "But it could have been worse, right?"
"These were brand-new Club Banana!" Kim complained. "Monique is so gonna kill me!" she exclaimed as she looked to Jerry. "Quick! Where's the closest mall?"
"Um, not too close…" Bonnie said nervously, letting out a Sweatdrop.
"There is one place where you can get everything you need…" Jerry spoke up, also letting out a Sweatdrop.
"Okay, why is everyone so nervous?" Miracle asked, seeing everyone sweat-drop once they brought up a place for Kim to go.
She and Kim soon found out.
"Smarty Mart?!" Kim exclaimed in disbelief.
"Where smart shoppers shop smart!" Ron advertised.
"And where Ron gets his quips." AncientMysticMan drawled.
"But this place is so… discounty!" Kim complained in disgust. She turned to Bonnie and Brick, both trying to get away. Kim let out a Cross-Popping Vein and grabbed the two. "Why didn't you two Level Ones say anything?" she asked angrily.
"Well… we… wanted to…" Bonnie started out.
"But we knew you would sort of… freak out?" Brick added on with uncertainty.
"Oh, great!" Kim exclaimed sarcastically.
Miracle blinked twice. "I don't… I don't… see the problem here," she said. "I'm sorry. It's just that after fighting Bass and Neo Nebula for so long, I've forgotten about all the daily Kim Problems," she said to all of the NetNavis around her. "What's so bad about this place?"
"It's a discount store," NumberMan replied, suddenly appearing next to everyone. "Higsby sometimes has me come here so that he and Shuko can have enough materials they need to keep the Store running… at a cheap price." He added on.
"I'm telling you, what they do here is evil," a group of NetNavis resembling small men with scissors on their heads said. "And we did stuff that wasn't even so bad back in Grave!"
"The CutMan Brothers?!" Miracle exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Getting the cheap Battle Chip Data," one of the CutMan Brothers, Vinny said. "Everything's going up in the economy these days!"
"Can we hurry, Vinny?" Sammy asked. "I don't want to get seen anymore than we already have."
"Calm down!" Jerry said. "Grave is gone! We're free!"
"But we're still evil," Nicky said to Miracle, AncientMysticMan, GridMan and Punk. "So don't underestimate us!"
"Yeah!" Joey exclaimed. "You'd better watch out!"
"Bye!" Miracle said in a friendly tone as the CutMan Brothers all walked off to find the Battle Chip Data they had come to get.
"You know, Smarty Mart is a respectable place to shop," Ron spoke up. "It's where I got Rufus."
"Aisle 16!" Rufus cheered, causing Kim to push him back into Ron's Pocket with a single finger.
"Well… let's…" Kim started out, trying to hold in all of her anger. Several Cross-Popping Veins appeared on her head as all of the NetNavis started to gasp. They and their NetOps all closed their eyes nervously, waiting for what would happen next. After a while, Kim sighed, and her Cross-Popping Veins went away. "Get this over with." She said, walking in.
Inside, Ron, Bonnie and Brick all followed Kim nervously. Ron decided to take the lead as they all came up to the clerk.
"A big Smarty Marty howdy!" the clerk said in a welcoming voice. "Need a map?"
"She needs pants." Ron said, causing Kim to gasp and dash up quickly to Ron and the clerk to put her situation more clearly.
"But not to wear. Just to have," Kim said quickly. "Because this is an emergency and, well, otherwise, believe me…" she went on before letting out a little laugh. "I wouldn't even be here."
"Emergency pants! Aisle ten. Happy Smarty Mart shopping." The clerk said.
Soon, Kim, Ron, Brick and Bonnie all arrived at Aisle Ten.
"Well, it's not Club Banana, but this will do for now," Kim said as she looked to see a pair of pants that were exactly like the ones that were shredded. "I'll just check these out and we're free to go."
As Kim, Ron, Bonnie and Brick were all heading to check out the new cheap pants, they suddenly heard a familiar set of voices.
"Come on! Hurry!" a female voice exclaimed quietly. "Before someone or Dad sees us!"
"Did you hear something?" Kim asked.
"I'm trying to go as fast as I can!" another female voice exclaimed.
Kim motioned to her friends to follow her. They all nodded and stalked after Kim, going around the corner to see who was also in Smarty Mart. When they turned the corner, they were surprised to see a familiar dark-skinned woman in a blue disco tux with a star on the chest, small streamers on the cufflinks, matching pants, a black afro and star-shaped shades. With her was another familiar female, one with red hair and a blue vest with red shorts.
"You're making too much of a big deal, Monique," Anetta said to the girl in the suit. "I personally like it."
"Pipe down, Anetta!" Monique whispered, removing her shades briefly. "I don't want anyone to know that the girl in the disco clothes is—"
"Monique?!" Kim exclaimed in disbelief.
"Kim?!" Monique exclaimed.
"You shop at Smarty Mart?!" Kim and Monique both asked at the same time.
"Only because I was never told this would be the place I would get cheaper pants!" Kim exclaimed. "What are you doing?"
Monique stuttered. "Um… well…" she started out, playing with her fingers. "My Dad's Disco Clothes have sort of grown on me," she said. "A week after we stopped Bass and Alpha… he tried them on and was about to go out in public, so I confiscated them," she started to explain. "Then… maybe I tried them on to see what I would look like in them."
"And I've been trying to tell her that she looks great!" Anetta exclaimed. "What happened to your pants anyways, Kim?" she asked, seeing Kim had a long shirt covering her chest and her lower body.
"Alligator attack," Kim replied. "You aren't mad that I got them shredded, do you?" she asked Monique.
"Only if you aren't mad that I'm wearing my Dad's clothes," Monique bargained. "Deal?"
"Deal," Kim said.
All of a sudden, the television screen showing a match of Pain King against Steel Toe next to them started to crackle.
"Now what?!" Kim asked with frustration.
"Greetings, World," a man with a mustache, white suit with a red vest and goatee said. "I am Frugal Lucre."
"Who… is that?" Ron asked.
"He just said his name was Frugal Lucre!" AncientMysticMan exclaimed. "Weren't you paying attention?!"
"No." Ron replied, causing the NetNavis and the NetOps, as well as Anetta, to face-fault.
"Please, listen closely." Lucre went on.
"Freaky freak of the week." Kim quipped, feeling a bit cringed from the accent this Frugal Lucre man was using.
"I may not have a million dollar laser weapon, or a pricy army of robots, Darkloids, or a NetNavi of my own, but I have something those big-budget bad guys lack…" Frugal Lucre started out.
"Cheesy accent?" AncientMysticMan asked as he, Miracle, Pallette, Punk and GridMan all let out a Sweatdrop.
"Computer skills," Lucre answered, his mustache somewhat starting to fall off as Kim, Ron, Monique, Anetta, Bonnie and Brick all looked to each other with surprise. "In twenty-four hours, the Internet as you know it will cease to exist," he went on while trying to put his mustache back on. It was clearly a fake mustache. "Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah-yeah, that's right!"
"Nice 'stache!" Ron said, causing Kim to elbow him immediately. "Ow! What?! It looks good!" he protested.
"The information super highway will crash…" Frugal Lucre went on before a grin came onto his face and he placed his fingers together. "Unless… everyone in the world sends me a dollar," his ultimatum struck. All of the NetSaviors looked to one another with confusion, wondering why he would have chosen to demand a single dollar from every person in the World. "Or the equivalent at the current rate of exchange," he added on before pressing a button at his side on the desk he was at. "And to prove I mean business, I have sent you all a little e-mail." He said before letting out an evil laugh. As he did, his mustache fell off. Frugal Lucre quickly grabbed it and put it back onto his face before the television screen went back to Steel Toe battling against Pain King.
"Well… that was strange," Kim said as she took out her Kimmunicator PET. "What do you think, Miracle?" she asked her NetNavi as if nothing had ever happened and Frugal Lucre never made his broadcast.
"Kim! Put in the Miracle Synchro Chip!" Miracle called out anxiously.
"Ron! Put that Mystical Synchro Chip in!" AncientMysticMan called out worryingly.
"What?" Kim asked as the rest of the NetSaviors, sans Anetta, took out their own PETs. "Why?"
"We need to CrossFuse! Now!" Miracle exclaimed.
"All of us!" Pallette exclaimed.
At that moment, a Dimensional Area Generator appeared at the far side of M-Tech City. A second one appeared in Washington. Another appeared in DenTech City, a fourth Dimensional Area Generator in California, and soon, all across the World.
"They're coming!" Ring yelled in horror as Tara was coming out of the Mall with Josh.
"CrossFuse! Now!" TornadoMan exclaimed.
"Jim! You have to CrossFuse right now!" Green Sledgehammer yelled.
"You too, Tim!" Red Sledgehammer exclaimed.
Amelia was working out inside of the NetSavior Base until she heard her PET ring. She raised an eyebrow in confusion before she went to pick it up and see what the problem was.
"Yuna, what is it?" Amelia asked.
"CrossFuse! Hurry!" Yuna panted nervously.
"Hurry, Lan!" MegaMan called out to Lan in DenTech City.
"Chaud, we've got to CrossFuse now!" ProtoMan exclaimed to Chaud at the BlazeQuest Company Building.
"It must be Diaspora and the Darkloids," Kim deducted. "They must want revenge."
"Then I say 'bring it'," Monique quipped. "I'm up for a round 2."
"MIRACLE—"
"MYSTICAL—"
"SYNCHRO CHIP IN! DOWNLOAD!" all of the CrossFusers and NetSaviors with CrossFusion called out after getting the distressing call from their NetNavis. "BEGIN CROSSFUSION NOW!" they all exclaimed, spreading their arms out and allowing their CrossFusions to begin.
Miracle's Data started to materialize onto Kim's legs, blue pads appearing on the knees. Kim held out her right hand into a fist, letting Miracle's arm appear with three blue stripes and pads appear with a "K" on the knuckle. Kim held out her left hand, and the same arm materialized, only with a "P" on the knuckle. Kim placed both of her fists together, forming her Crest before throwing her arms aside and letting the Crest appear on her chest. Instead of a black bodysuit, a white one appeared, one with a blue stripe going down the middle. Kim soon twirled around, letting some Boosters the same color as MegaMan's appear on her back before a transparent helmet came onto her head. Her hair was kept the same as a white helmet materialized onto Kim's head before she started to turn back around, pulling back her left fist and extending her right hand in front, her CrossFusion now complete.
Ron gained a red upper bodysuit and a light-blue lower bodysuit. A gold chestplate appeared on his chest, followed by a new NetNavi Emblem of a Mystic Circle with Ancient Symbols on them. Ron yelled and threw his left arm in front of his chest while he thrust his right arm outwards, forming Red Gauntlets on his arms before gaining black boots with red soles, as well as knee plating with red crystals on them. Ron's helmet appeared on his head, letting out a roar as it resembled a Dragon's head before a Red Visor came over his eyes. Ron grinned and slowly pulled his right arm down before spinning around and thrusting his left arm forwards, his CrossFusion now complete.
Monique held both of her arms out in front of her, letting Pallette's Gauntlets materialize onto her body. She grinned and thrust her left arm up as the ribbon from Pallette's helmet came onto her head, followed by the ribbon and her uniquely designed hair. She spread out both of her arms once again and let Pallette's boots digitize onto her legs before Pallette's helmet appeared just as the ribbon and the hair come onto her head, followed by Pallette's Crest falling onto both sides of the helmet. She twirled back around and let her NetNavi Crest appear on her chest before a mouth plate came over her mouth. The Emblems of all Elements flashed onto her body before she thrust her right arm into the air, her CrossFusion now complete.
Tara twirled around as a colorful bodysuit started to appear on her. Rings started to surround her arms and legs before tightening up and then materializing into Ring's own colorful armor. Pink Gauntlets materialized onto her arms before she gained pink boots as well. Multicolored shoulder pads appeared on her shoulders before gaining a yellow helmet with a blue and two orange stripes, as well as a green ring as the brim before her entire helmet materialized. She placed her hands out in the shape of a circle, letting Ring's Crest appear on her chest. She then let her hair fold back into the helmet as rings fell down the back of her helmet like long hair, and a ring appeared on the very top of her helmet. Once her CrossFusion was complete, Tara threw her left fist into the air while her right fist remained at her waist.
Brick held his hand into the air as a Football flew above him. It landed on his hand as it formed into GridMan's Gauntlet. Brick quickly pulled it down and slammed his fist onto the ground, causing White Bodysuit and Yellow Boots to appear on his body. Brick spread his arms out and allowed his second Gauntlet to appear before he placed both of his hands over his Chest. He pulled his hands apart as GridMan's Crest, which depicted a Football, appeared on his chests. Soon afterwards, GridMan's Helmet came onto Brick's head, followed by a metal mouth-guard appearing before the three lines on a Football appeared down the line of his body. Brick held out his right arm, where a Football was summoned, right before he twirled around and got onto one knee, slamming his left hand onto the ground with his Football cradled against his body, his CrossFusion now full.
Data materialized onto Josh, followed by several Digital Tornadoes forming his Green Gauntlets and Boots. He spun around, letting his green pack appear on his back before his wings formed. A green chestplate appeared on Josh's chest, followed by TornadoMan's Crest digitizing onto his chest. TornadoMan's black bodysuit came after, and streaks of gold came onto his bodysuit, Gauntlets and Boots. The same Crest started to manifest at the sides of Josh's head before his green helmet came into place. As it did, it flashed once, letting golden streaks appear on it. It flashed a second time, letting wings appear on the sides before flashing a third time, which then allowed his mouth plate to cover his mouth and his two Crests to appear on the sides of his Helmet. Josh thrust his right arm forwards and his left arm to the side of his head, his CrossFusion now full.
Tim had his arms spread out. A red bodysuit materialized onto him before he gained red, bulky armor. His Sledgehammer Crest started to materialize before holding out his left arm. A shield came into place right as his gloves came on. A Sledgehammer materialized onto his right arm before placing both of his arms in front of him. He thrust them outwards, allowing his now-completed Navi Crest to merge onto his chest, causing the rest of his armor to appear. His boots fastened into place before he lowered his head, allowing a half-green and half-red helmet with two Red Sledgehammer Crests to appear on both sides of the helmet. A black visor appeared on Jim's head, and soon, he spun around and held his left hand up straight to the sky while he had his right hammer hand held across his chest.
Jim had his arms spread out. A black bodysuit materialized onto him before he gained green, bulky armor, similar to how Tim had gotten his armor. His Sledgehammer Crest started to materialize before holding out his right arm. A shield came into place right as his gloves came on. A Sledgehammer materialized onto his left arm before placing both of his arms in front of him. He thrust them outwards, allowing his now-completed Navi Crest to merge onto his chest, causing the rest of his armor to appear. His boots fastened into place before he lowered his head, allowing a half-green and half-red helmet with two Green Sledgehammer Crests to appear on both sides of the helmet. A black visor appeared on Jim's head, and soon, he spun around and held his right hand up straight to the sky while he had his left hammer hand held across his chest.
When the Tweebs were complete with their CrossFusion, their Sledgehammers were now pressed against one another, creating a larger version of their Navi Crests.
Amelia crossed her legs as Yuna's Crest appeared on her chest, followed by Yuna's black bodysuit appearing on her skin. She held out her left arm, which caused the Gauntlets and Boots of Yuna to manifest onto her left side before she did the same with her right. As it was done before, yellow Gauntlets and Boots appeared on the right side of her body before she allowed her shoulder pads to appear. She twirled around as her hair grew longer. As it was let down, Yuna's helmet appeared before Amelia's mouth was covered by a mouth plate. Yuna punched out with her left hand before a Staff materialized, which she grabbed with her right. Amelia twirled around the Staff before placing it behind her back and placing her left hand across herself, her CrossFusion finished.
Bonnie thrust her arms down to her sides, allowing a black bodysuit to appear. She spun around and formed the Punk Chain on her left hand before stretching out her right, allowing a normal red-armored gauntlet to emerge on her right arm with a shield on it. Bonnie grinned and spread her arms out, where Punk's Crest formed onto her chest before the rest of her armor came on. Red armor appeared on her legs before black, spiked pads appeared on her shoulders. She twirled around and allowed two white wings to appear before she lowered her head, letting her helmet come into place. As she lifted her head back up, a mouth-guard appeared over her mouth, and Bonnie twirled around the Punk Chain before thrusting it into the air with her shield held low. She grinned as she kept her right knee bent with her left knee stretching out under her Punk Chain.
Lan had his arms and legs spread out wide as MegaMan's armor started to materialize onto him. As soon as his arms and legs were complete, MegaMan's pads and back Boosters appeared before MegaMan's Crest appeared on Lan's chest, causing the black bodysuit to appear. Lan lowered his head as his Helmet came on, and once his mouth-guard materialized, Lan and MegaMan were now CrossFused; both arms set in front of Lan in a battle stance as white lines were placed on his knees and arms.
Chaud let the armor of ProtoMan materialize onto him next. As soon as ProtoMan's legs appeared, Chaud held out his right arm, letting one arm of ProtoMan materialize onto him before the same happened with his left arm. Chaud thrust his left arm out in front of his chest, letting ProtoMan's Emblem on his hand shine. ProtoMan's Emblem then appeared on Chaud's Chest, and Chaud gained ProtoMan's black bodysuit before a long strand of white and black hair fell down Chaud's back. As soon as his CrossFusion was complete, Chaud pulled down his left fist in front of his chest and threw his right hand to the side.
"Okay, we CrossFused," Kim said as all of the NetSaviors focused their attention to their NetNavis. "Where's the problem? Where are all the Darkloids?"
All of a sudden, a portal appeared in front of Kim, Ron, Monique, Anetta, Bonnie and Brick.
"You ask a simple question…" Kim mused before placing her hand out in front of her. "MiracleWorker!" she called out.
"AncientMysticSword!" Ron called out, letting his AncientMysticSword come onto his hand.
Brick and Bonnie also let out their own weapons before two figures started to come out from the portal.
"Okay…" Kim said as she and Ron looked to each other, holding hands as they aimed their weapons at the portal. "It could be Bass," she told everyone. "Get ready."
At that moment, Rush came out of the portal, followed by BubbleMan.
"Beware us, blub-blub!" BubbleMan announced.
Everyone stood down. Kim could not help but laugh. "Oh, man!" she retorted. "Rush! You know better than to bring that guy with you!"
All of a sudden, a blast came out from the portal. It hit Kim, Ron, Monique, Brick and Bonnie immediately, knocking them back onto the ground. As Kim was about to get up, she felt a foot step on her chest. She looked up to see a new NetNavi she had never seen before.
The new NetNavi was wearing a black bodysuit with some yellow mixed in underneath purple armor over his torso, shoulders, and legs. His helmet seemed to be based off of a cobra, with a face guard covering his entire face. In his hands was a golden snake staff.
"Who are you?!" Kim demanded. "A Darkloid?!"
"Not in the least," the NetNavi replied. "I am CobraMan, and that's all you need to know," he spat. CobraMan turned around and raised his arm up. "I told you there was a way out through here!" he called out.
The heads of the CutMan Brothers, MistMan, a Swordy Virus and Aki all popped out of the portal.
"Go! Go! Go! Go!" CobraMan called out as the NetNavis, Aki and several Viruses burst out from the portal. "GGGGGOOOOO!" he exclaimed.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" EnergyMan called out as he led the Darkloids out from another portal near the M-Tech City Mall.
"We're free! We're free! We're free!" more NetNavis called out as they quickly came out from other portals all over the World, where NetSaviors were getting down in surprise.
"I don't know what's going on, but you're not getting away with this!" Kim called out, grabbing CobraMan's leg.
CobraMan looked down with surprise as Kim swung him up.
"Cobra Scepter!" CobraMan called out, charging towards Kim.
"Bring it, Jafar!" Kim quipped.
"JunkCube!" a voice suddenly called out.
Two JunkCubes suddenly came in front of Kim and CobraMan. Kim looked to the side to see JunkDataMan standing with BubbleMan and Rush.
"JunkDataMan?!" Kim exclaimed. "What are you doing?!"
"Kim! You won't believe what's happened!" Tara exclaimed as she teleported in with Amelia, Josh, Jim and Tim. They suddenly stopped once they saw where Kim, Ron, Monique, Brick, Bonnie and Anetta were. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked.
"Don't ask," Kim said. "Right now, we've got a massive NetNavi Invasion, and this CobraMan person is leading it!"
"I know this may sound fishy, but none of us, not even the Darkloids, are the bad guys here." JunkDataMan stated.
"Yea, blub-blub," BubbleMan said. "We were all chased off of the Net by a large and nasty Virus! It went global, and we hardly escaped with our lives!"
"Frugal Lucre?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, that's the guy!" Vinny exclaimed. "He toasted all of the Net! NetCity's in ruins, and all of the Net is being devoured!"
"That's why we wanted you to CrossFuse!" Miracle called out. "We are not ejecting, and if you try, we know ways to stop you!"
"Can't you still stay on our Homepages?" Monique asked.
"They're shut down too!" Pallette exclaimed. She seemed to come out of Monique to grab her by the collar, bringing her face closer to hers. "Everything NetNavis go is always the Internet, and it's being destroyed!"
"Wait," Lan said as he and Chaud teleported in. "What about the others? Like Roll, GutsMan and Glyde? They can't CrossFuse."
"Do you even see ToadMan and LeagueMan standing with me right now?!" CobraMan exclaimed, gesturing to ToadMan and LeagueMan standing at his sides.
"So… even NetNavis without CrossFusion came into the Human World?" Chaud asked.
"Where's Bass, LaserMan and Diaspora?" Kim asked as she looked around.
"Suffice it to say Diaspora and LaserMan are on Hades Isle," EnergyMan said. "I'm leading the Darkloids now."
"And although the Human World isn't unlimited like the Net, we can still make ourselves feel at home. Blub-blub." BubbleMan stated.
"Seriously?" Bonnie asked. "I cannot go to a Mall and expect to bump into Aki." She spat.
"Remember that I can't touch Humans or NetNavis," Aki said. "But we shall try not to make too much of a disturbance."
"You guys need a place to crash, huh?" Kim asked. "Well, I just have to say that—"
"We can't let this happen!" Kim exclaimed to Famous, Dr. Hikari, Haruka, James, Ann, Chief Kiefer and Manuela back at the NetSavior Base with the rest of the CrossFused NetSaviors at their side. "The Darkloids could attack us the minute we let our guard down! And don't get me started on that CobraMan!"
"Well, I'm afraid to admit it, but the NetNavis have a point," Famous said, placing his hand to his chin. "Until we can find out where this Frugal Lucre is, we can't put any NetNavis onto the Net."
"And until we get Frugal Lucre, we're not leaving!" Joey exclaimed as he formed two Cut Boomerangs from his hands as Kim and the CrossFused NetSaviors returned to the M-Tech City Mall, where every NetNavi, both Solo and owned, were gathering together after being at Smarty Mart.
All of the NetSaviors sighed.
"Okay, you can stay here," Josh said. "But once we find Lucre and take him in—"
"Down for good, you mean!" BladeMan protested.
"Whatever," Jim spat. "Once Lucre's found, you all go back to the Net."
"No objections." Tim added on.
"Deal," CobraMan said. "But don't expect us to show mercy on him."
Kim sighed. She walked over and picked up the same new retail pants that she had found at Smarty Mart. "Okay," she said. "Now I have to find a way to bring Zennies into the Real World because CrossFusion can't have access to pockets!" she complained before walking off. "I wanted clothes, and I get a retail store."
"Hey, I get clothes from Smarty Mart." Ron spoke up as he walked with Kim.
"WhiteWeb," Kim said quietly, webbing Ron's mouth shut. She turned back to the others. "Unless Famous calls, stay with the Navis," she ordered. "Ron and I will check out Frugal Lucre."
"You got it." Bonnie said with a nod.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Monique called out. "I can't let the others see me in you-know-what!"
"Monique!" Anetta exclaimed. She groaned and ran after the CrossFused Monique.
Kim placed her pants on the scanner at the checkout counter.
"That'll be $5.99." The cashier said.
"Okay, here we go," Kim said, putting her hand out. Immediately, the Zenny equivalent of six dollars appeared in Kim's hands, and she handed it to the cashier. "Just a Penny is good." She told the cashier, remembering how Zennies and dollars differ.
"Ten times less than you pay for the same pants at Club Banana!" Ron taunted.
"So not!" Kim protested as she got her change. "Besides, now we've got to find Frugal Lucre."
"Think we can get to Higsby's?" Monique asked. "Or can you pull up Wade and TechMan?"
"I've been trying Wade and TechMan, but that stupid virus is stopping me from contacting them," Kim said. "Why did you suggest Higsby?"
"He's the best at crunching numbers!" Anetta exclaimed. "He's our go-to guy!"
"Wait a minute," Kim said as she looked on her visor. "Famous is sending us a message in Morse Code."
"I was never that big on history, so I don't have a clue what he's saying." Ron said.
"I can," Miracle said. "He said that he's going to start a system for the World to use temporarily. We can get some communications back online, but the Net is still unsafe. We're gonna have to remain CrossFused for a while."
Kim, Ron and Monique all sighed.
"Well, we've been NetNavis before," Kim said. "Can't hurt to be in their shoes again."
"Yeah, I guess so," Miracle replied back. "We've been you before, so we can get a good grasp on how you're feeling."
"Right," Kim said. "Let's get to Higsby's and find out about Frugal Lucre."
Ron, Monique and Anetta all nodded and ran off towards Higsby's Chip Shop.
"You think they got it?" Dr. Ciel asked Famous as she and Michael Cossack walked into the room at the NetSavior Base.
"We'll see," Famous replied as he inputted more Morse Code messages. "Considering everyone is using advanced technology, we can't get any E-Mails, transmissions, or even Navi Image messages to anyone without the usual bandwidth," he said. All of a sudden, a transmission came up. "We got a hit." He stated.
"Who's it from?" Michael Cossack asked.
"Her name is Lilo… Lilo Pelekai. She's from Hawaii," Dr. Ciel said as she pulled up the message. "I'm able to pull up what she posted. It was supposed to go to Kim, apparently."
"We'll let her know when we have the systems back up again," Famous said. "For now, let's see what this is message from Hawaii is all about." He said, starting to read the message. His eyes grew wide under his shades as the message came up.
"ATTENTION! URGENT MATTER, SAFETY OF THE WORLD AT STAKE! NEED HELP ASAP!" the message read.
"This could be a prank." Dr. Ciel said.
"The last time we thought that, it turned out to be SavageMan," Famous said. "We'll tell Kim when the systems get back online," he stated. "I don't want to be taking any more chances here." He said sternly.
As this was going on, Kim, Ron, Monique and Anetta all flew on Fishy Viruses towards Higsby's Battle Chip Shop. When they arrived, they were all surprised to see SpoutMan standing outside with IceMan.
Kim, Ron, Monique and Anetta all walked towards the Chip Shop. Kim looked down to SpoutMan and IceMan. "I take it you also put your energy into making this large Dimensional Area?" she asked the two small and cute NetNavis.
"Everyone did," IceMan answered. "We were able to use Dr. Hikari's old technology to let us come into the real World, even if our NetOps can't CrossFuse with us."
"Yeah," SpoutMan said. "Now I can take care of Shuko until this Frugal Lucre guy is found and taken in."
"Well, at least it's nice to know some NetNavis don't believe in killing to bring justice." Monique mused.
"Yeah," Shuko said as she and Tory came out. "Frugal Lucre may have done some bad things, but he doesn't deserve to be killed."
"Is Higsby here?" Ron asked. "We could really use his help, as well as NumberMan's."
"Did someone say my name?" NumberMan asked as he came out from the door.
"Why am I not surprised?" Kim asked as she looked to no one in particular. "NumberMan, do you think you and Higsby can crunch some numbers for us? We're really in need of finding Frugal Lucre."
"And Frugal Lucre you shall find!" Higsby exclaimed, suddenly appearing behind the NetSaviors out of nowhere. The NetSaviors all yelled in surprise and backed away.
"Okay, we need a recording first," NumberMan said. "Anyone got any?"
"Why do you need a recording?" Kim asked.
"Because Shuko and I heard a voice in the background," Higsby explained. "If any of you have a recording, now's the time to give it to us."
"I've got something," Ron said. "I'll pull it up right now. Fanfare, Battle Chip In! Sensor, Battle Chip In!" he called out, summoning a Trumpy Virus and a KillerEye Virus. While the Trumpy Virus sounded off, the KillerEye Virus displayed a holographic video of the early broadcast.
"In twenty-four hours, the Internet as you know it will cease to exist," Frugal Lucre said as the playback of the previous transmission played through the KillerEye while the audio was played through the Trumpy Virus. However, in the background, there was a strange warbling going on. "Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah-yeah, that's right! The information super highway will crash…"
Kim narrowed her eyes. "I can't get a good grasp on what that voice in the background is," she said. "None of us can even strip out Lucre."
"I can," AudioMan, the Darkloid over audio spoke up as he came out of the Battle Chip Store. Everyone looked to him with surprise. "What?" he asked.
"What are you doing here?" Tory asked.
"Getting Battle Chips," AudioMan replied. "I left the Zennies on the counter."
"Right…" Miracle said as she spoke through Kim. "So… can you help us… for the time being?"
"Sure," AudioMan said. "Step aside," he said to everyone. "Audio Strip!" he called out as his eyes flashed.
"Attention, Shippers…" a voice played in the background as Frugal Lucre's voice was toned out.
"Shippers?" Kim asked.
"As in the people who like to put Kim and Ron together?" Miracle asked.
Kim and Ron both gasped and looked to each other before instantly turning away, both blushing nervously.
"M-Miracle!" Kim exclaimed in embarrassment. "Don't say that! I don't even know which people you're possibly talking about!"
"Sure you do," Miracle said. "Even Ron knows who I'm talking about."
"Um… no I don't." Ron replied.
"Maybe it's a Shipping Yard?" AncientMysticMan suggested.
"Something tells me I've heard that voice before," Ron said. He looked to AudioMan. "Slow it down a tad." He ordered.
AudioMan nodded and started to slow down the recording.
"Attention, Smarty Mart Shoppers…" a voice said in the background. The voice was hard to make out, but everyone could hear it.
"'Attention, Smarty Mart Shoppers'!" Ron exclaimed. "Lucre was broadcasting from a Smarty Mart!"
"What kind of self-respecting villain would threaten the World from a Smarty Mart?" Kim asked.
"Someone with good computer skills, I must say," Higsby said. "If we could just get the Net back up and running, NumberMan and I could cross-reference all Smarty Mart Computers and find out who the man behind the plot is!"
"Attention, all NetSaviors and NetPolice personnel," Famous's Voice said to all of the NetSaviors and NetPolice. "SearchMan has fired a Dimensional Tracker into all of the Smarty Mart Networks," he reported. "It will allow everyone the access they need to the Net before Frugal Lucre's deadline hits. If he is not stopped, the Net is gone forever. Any NetSavior with CrossFusion can eject now. As long as the Tracker is operational, the Net is safe for all NetNavis."
"Is that okay, Miracle?" Kim asked. "You can go back now."
"That's good to hear," Miracle said. "Now, we just have to find out where this Frugal Lucre is hiding."
"And hopefully, we won't have to use CrossFusion to bring him in," Anetta said. "It seems a bit like overkill if you ask me."
"Okay," Kim said as she spread her arms out. "Fuse out."
"FUSE OUT." All of the NetSaviors in CrossFusion with their NetNavis all called out at once.
Soon, the NetSaviors had all ejected from CrossFusion. They all grabbed their PETs before the NetNavis started to go back to the Net again.
"Good job," CobraMan said as he approached Kim. "But this Lucre guy won't stop easily."
"And you're a hard man to find out," Kim quipped. "You seem to know a lot about us despite us never having heard of you before," she stated. "What's your story?"
"I'm just a NetNavi trying to make his way in the World," CobraMan replied back. "We shall meet again."
"CobraMan, Logging Out."
Back at Kim's House, Kim was putting on her own pants she already owned. Since she was too far away from home to get a new pair of pants earlier on, she wanted to get out of the Smarty Mart discount pants and get back into her original ones. After putting her jacket back on, she tossed the new Smarty Mart pants down to Ron, who was waiting for her.
"Retail Snob." Ron snarked.
"Shut up!" Kim remarked. She walked over to her Mother and Father at the table. "Here, Mom," she said, handing her Mother the Smarty Mart Pants. "For the Rag Bin."
"Kim, these pants look brand-new!" Ann exclaimed, inspecting the pants.
"Brand-New from Smarty Mart!" Kim protested.
"I don't see a difference in that." Ashe said.
"Discountophobia." Ron stated.
"Kim, I'm surprised at you," Ann said. "You know labels don't matter."
"You know, some of the other guys at the lab only use brand-name heat shields, but do I fall for that?" James asked, getting Kim, Ron, Miracle, AncientMysticMan, Ashe, Ann and Atlas to immediately sweat-drop. "You bet I don't. Not as long as the generic shields are just as good at half the price."
"You don't wear heat shields, Dad!" Kim exclaimed.
"And yet, another broken story for Aesop's Fables." Miracle teased.
"Well, no," James replied with a sweat-drop. "But if you were tunneling to the Earth's Core, then you wish you'd wearing them!"
"Sometimes, Dad, your Stories have absolutely no moral to them." Kim stated.
All of a sudden, the Kimmunicator PET started to ring. Kim took it out, and was surprised to see Wade, TechMan, Higsby and NumberMan on her screen.
"What's the Sitch, guys?" Kim asked.
"I've gotten a scan of Frugal Lucre's image," Wade said. "Sorry for taking so long, but the communications were down, and I had to rely on old computers to do the work with TechMan."
"Bring it up." Kim ordered.
Wade nodded and allowed TechMan to bring up Frugal Lucre's image.
"It's a fake beard," TechMan said. "But I can digitize that out. Tech Filter!" he called out, clearing away both the background and the fake beard on Frugal Lucre.
"Now, we crosscheck this photo with the store personnel files," Higsby said. "Lucre's not the only one with mad computer skills, you know. NumberMan and I managed to hack the DenTech Middle School's Systems within a mere matter of minutes!"
"And that was the last move we ever made in getting our own Rare Chips, Higsby!" NumberMan added on. "Okay, so Smarty Mart might have some tight security, but they OBVIOUSLY haven't met Higsby and NumberMan before!"
"Just tell us what the match is!" Kim exclaimed.
"Okay, okay!" Higsby yelled. "Don't get your pants in a bunch!"
Kim let out a Cross-Popping Vein while Ron whistled as Kim turned her attention to him angrily.
"Bingo!" NumberMan exclaimed. "We've got a match!"
"His name is Francis Lerman," AncientMysticMan read. "He lives in Philadelphia."
"Well, We've only got a few hours to get to Philadelphia before the deadline," Kim said as she looked to Ron. "Come on," she ordered. "We can't go in like officials. We're calling in a favor."
In Philadelphia, a Road Sweeper drove all the way to a house in the city. Kim and Ron, now in their Mission Clothes, got off and smiled to the driver.
"Thanks for the ride, Paulie." Kim said gratefully.
"What, you kiddin'?" Paulie asked. "Your campaign for Alternate-Side-of-the-Street Parking Awareness saved my life."
"What's ten-thousand windshield flyers?" Kim bragged. "No big."
Paulie soon drove off. As they did, BubbleMan and the CutMan Brothers all teleported in.
"I almost forgot the Dimensional Area Generator was up," Kim said. "Okay, guys. What do you want?"
"What else?" BubbleMan asked as if Kim were blind to what they wanted. "To get back at the man who tried to destroy the Net!"
"Not even Grave went as low as that!" Vinny exclaimed.
Kim and Ron both sighed. "Fine, you can come along," Kim said. "But you're not taking any lives!" she yelled before gesturing to the door. Everyone ran up and started to stand at all the sides while Kim AreaStole right to the front of the door.
"On three," Kim whispered. Everyone nodded. "One… two… three!" they all counted down.
"Hit the dirt!" Ron yelled nervously, getting onto the ground and forming a SuperVulcan from his Battle Chip Gauntlets.
Kim sighed and pressed the doorbell. Soon, a woman came out.
"Hi, Mrs. Lerman," Kim said in a calm tone. Ron and all of the NetNavis looked up, surprised that there was no attack waiting for them. "Is Francis home?"
"Francis?" BubbleMan asked. "No wonder the Human's so twisted!"
"Francis didn't tell me he had friends coming," Mrs. Lerman said as she brought everyone pastries. "Otherwise, I would have made more toaster bites."
Ron was about to get one until Kim slapped his hand.
"We thought we'd surprise him" Kim made up.
"He'll be thrilled!" Mrs. Lerman said. "He's in the basement," she said, gesturing to the basement door next to her. "Go down and make yourselves at home."
"Oh… we will." Kim said with reassurance as she, Ron and the NetNavis all went down.
Everyone snuck downstairs. As they were creeping around, Kim stopped them and pointed a finger to none other than Francis Lerman, surprised at the sight of Kim, Ron and the NetNavis.
"Looks like somebody's been using their Employee Discount." Kim quipped.
"Kim Possible, we meet at last," Francis said. He took out what appeared to be a Water Gun. "Oh, this is so cool!"
"Drop it, Mamma's Boy!" Ron ordered, trying to act tough.
"I will not, and don't come any closer!" Frugal Lucre protested, aiming another Water Gun at the eight. "This thing's loaded!"
"With what?" Kim challenged.
"Beef bouillon, if you must know," Lucre replied. "Ever try to get the smell out? Huh? Huh? You can't!" he exclaimed before letting out a convincing villainous laugh.
"Ew…" Kim said in disgust.
"He's right, Kim!" Ron exclaimed as the Smarty Mart expert he always was. "Do as he says!" he said with caution as he and Kim both put their hands up.
"And tell your NetNavis to stand down too!" Lucre demanded. "I don't know how you found me, but if I so much as hit them with this, they'll short out like Christmas Lights and be Deleted on sight… even if one of them is a Water Navi!"
"Oh, I hate when Humans get smart, blub-blub!" BubbleMan complained as he and the CutMan Brothers put their hands up.
"I thought you kids and NetNavis must be thirsty, so I brought juice sips!" Mrs. Lerman said as she came down with a tray of juice sips.
"Thank you." Kim said as she and Ron picked up one juice sip each.
"Ma!" Frugal Lucre complained. "I'm with my friends!"
"Sorry, Francis," Mrs. Lerman said as Francis drank a juice sip as BubbleMan and the CutMan Brothers did too. "Can I get anyone Chips or Pretzels or something to help the NetNavis?"
"No thank you, Mrs. Lerman." Kim, Ron, BubbleMan and the CutMan Brothers all said at once.
"I suppose you're here to stop me, huh?" Frugal Lucre asked. "Well, you and all of your friends are too late! Soon, the World's fortune will be mine!" he exclaimed before letting out the same laugh.
"Fortune?" Ron asked.
"You only asked for a dollar per person." Kim pointed out.
"As we say at Smarty Mart, 'Every Dollar Counts'." Frugal Lucre said.
"Oh, please!" Kim retorted. "Face it, Lucre. You're not a real villain. You're just a… bargain bad guy."
"Just because I'm budget-conscious doesn't mean I'm not as every bit as evil as the other villains," Frugal Lucre said. "I may not have Darkloids or Henchmen or an evil lair, but I deliver the exact same evil at a fraction of the cost," he said before pulling a rope. "Observe…"
Kim and Ron were soon trapped in a net while BubbleMan and the CutMan Brothers were forced to be Logged Out.
"This is when I reveal my evil plan, right?" Lucre asked.
"Go ahead." Kim said.
"Though I can't say we'd be surprised." Miracle drawled.
"Behold! Frugal Lucre's World!" Lucre exclaimed, showing Kim, Ron, Miracle and AncientMysticMan a balloon of the globe.
"Small World… Francis!" Ron spat.
"It was a close-out," Lucre retorted while letting out a Sweatdrop. "Now, every Smarty affiliate is connected via the Internet, right?" he asked before taking out a small can. "Well, all it takes… to release a commerce-crippling virus… is this."
"Ham in a can?" Kim asked as she secretly placed her Battle Chip Gauntlets on.
"Vienna Sausages," Lucre corrected. "I altered the UPC Code to act as the Virus Trigger. When this is scanned through checkout, my Virus will be launched from every single Smarty Mart at the same time," he explained. "Goodbye e-mail. Nice to know you, chat rooms. Sayonara, online shopping!"
"You're planning to destroy the Net with an old can of meat?" Kim asked.
"I get expired food free, Death Rays are expensive, and Dimensional Area Generators are easy to buy," Lucre said. "And speaking of…" he said, pressing a button. "I have loyal Piranha Viruses, and they haven't been fed for weeks!" he exclaimed, dropping cabbages all over Kim and Ron.
Kim and Ron gasped as they caught some of the cabbages. The rest fell in front of the Piranha Viruses, which they either blasted violently or ate like crazy.
"You won't get away with this, Lucre!" Miracle called out.
"I already have, Soldier Girl!" Lucre quipped, walking upstairs and letting out an evil laugh.
"MiracleWorker!" Kim called out.
"AncientMysticSword!" Ron called out.
"CROSSFUSION!" Kim and Ron both called out at once. They landed down and used StepSword to take down the Piranha Viruses, Deleting them instantly before reverting back to themselves.
"Notice he said loyal, but not powerful." Kim mused.
"Yeah," Ron said. He took out his PET. "When's the deadline?" he asked AncientMysticMan.
"Ten minutes!" AncientMysticMan reported.
Kim took out her Kimmunicator PET. "All NetSaviors and NetPolice, this is Agent Kim Possible," she said. "Frugal Lucre is planning on using the barcode of a Vienna Sausage Can as a Virus Trigger to take down the Net."
"If anyone is hearing this, stop that sale!" Kim ordered to the rest of the NetSaviors.
"On it!" Bonnie called out as she and Brick ran into the Smarty Mart in E-Tech City.
"Let's go." Kim said to Ron.
"Right with ya, KP!" Ron exclaimed.
"Okay!" Rufus chattered.
Kim and Ron soon ran out of Frugal Lucre's house and activated their jetpacks. They flew off towards the closest Smarty Mart Shop was: in M-Tech City.
"Agent Kim, come in! This is urgent!" Famous called out, but the transmission already ended.
"Mr. Famous, I found something in Hawaii that you should know about before you let Kim know about the message." Dr. Ciel said.
"Just Famous," Famous corrected her. "What is it?"
"Two years ago, there was an Alien Ship that arrived in Hawaii," Dr. Ciel explained. "The CIA wasn't too keen on sharing this information with us. However, I was able to learn from a friend of mine, Cobra Bubbles, that about six-hundred twenty-three Aliens were scattered across Hawaii. Two Aliens, a Scientist and an Earth Expert, both know about the Comet that passed… Duo."
"Aliens in Hawaii?" Famous asked. "And I thought Dragons in New York was strange," he laced his fingers together. "This is most disturbing. We'll tell Kim immediately after the Mission."
Frugal Lucre arrived at the M-Tech City Smarty Mart Store. He chuckled as he got onto his computer.
"And now, an evil genius's fortune is mine!" Frugal Lucre exclaimed, laughing evilly as he started to look up how much everyone paid him. There was a beep from his computer, causing him to see what the problem was. "Oh! Argh! $17.28?!" he exclaimed in disbelief. He angrily put his fake mustache back on. "Argh! Alright! That's it!" he said, accessing all communication channels all over the World.
"Citizens of the world, you have failed!" Frugal Lucre proclaimed. "It would have cost you mere dollar. Five minutes from now, I'll destroy the Internet and cost you millions!" he exclaimed before calmly placing his hands behind his back. "So, if anyone still wants to send that dollar, do it now, okay? If not, NetBattles will be no more, and neither will Chip-Trading."
Meanwhile, Kim and Ron were both still flying to the M-Tech City Smarty Mart Shop. Their PETs started to ring, causing the two to pick them up.
"What's the Sitch?" Kim asked.
"No one paid Lucre," Miracle reported. "SearchMan has learned from his Dimensional Tracker that in response to the failure to comply, Francis has put the expired Vienna Sausage in the M-Tech Smarty Mart Store. There isn't much time now."
"If that sausage goes through the checkout desk, the Net is gone forever." AncientMysticMan said.
"Good thing we're almost there," Kim said. "Come on, Ron!"
Kim and Ron soon landed and ran into the M-Tech city Smarty Mart Shop. As they entered, the same clerk from before welcomed them with a flyer.
"Welcome to Smarty Mart, where—"
"Where Smart Shoppers Shop Smart," Kim finished up. "I get it. Okay?"
"Kim, look!" Ron called out. "The Solo NetNavis!"
Kim looked up to see MistMan, the CutMan Brothers and BubbleMan all being led by CobraMan down the aisle, followed by Viruses of all different kinds.
"Little does she know…" Frugal Lucre said as he placed the Vienna Sausage Can into the Shopping Cart a woman had.
"There he is!" a voice called out.
"Wha—?!" Frugal Lucre asked in surprise. As he turned away, the woman looked to the Sausage Can with confusion. She shrugged and walked over Aisle 22.
"Scissor Boomerang!" the CutMan Brothers all called out, throwing Scissor Boomerangs towards Frugal Lucre.
"Whoa!" Lucre exclaimed, narrowly dodging the boomerangs. He ran away, only to meet a Bubble Parade from BubbleMan.
"Majin Tackle!" MistMan called out, slamming into Frugal Lucre and knocking him away.
"Cobra Lunge!" CobraMan called out, summoning snakes to come out from the ground and attack Lucre.
"Stop!" Kim called out, entering CrossFusion. "Guardians!"
Everyone attacked once again, but all of their attacks hit the Guardians.
"PUNISHER!"
The solo NetNavis yelled in pain as lightning struck down on them.
"Okay, Lucre, cough up the sausages!" Kim ordered, aiming her MiracleWorker at Frugal Lucre.
"Ew! Rephrase, please!" Ron exclaimed.
"You're too late. My Vienna surprise is already in place," Frugal Lucre said, gesturing to the same woman he secretly gave the Vienna Sausage to. "Observe," he ordered as everyone stood in shock. "The Internet will be destroyed in three… Two… One," he counted off. Everyone closed their eyes, but felt nothing happen. "But... Wha… Wha…?" Lucre asked in confusion as the woman gave the cashier some money from her PET. "Oh… No!" he complained quietly while shaking his head. "That can't be."
"She must have put it back on the shelf!" Kim exclaimed.
"Good," Lucre said, grabbing a microphone nearby. "Then it's time for Plan B," he stated. "Attention, Smarty Mart Shoppers! We're having a brainstorm in Aisle 22, Vienna Sausages!" he announced. "Ten cans… for a Dollar!"
"Stop that sale!" Kim yelled.
"Get that Human!" BubbleMan ordered, aiming his Bubble AquaSword at Frugal Lucre.
"Uh-Oh." Frugal Lucre said worryingly.
"No one is taking any lives!" Kim exclaimed. She ran towards the NetNavis and Viruses with her MiracleWorker. "Ron, find the Sausage!" she ordered. "Don't let it check out!"
"Got it!" Ron called out. He started to run to the checkout line as Kim charged up her MiracleWorker.
"MegaSoul, Navi Chip In!" Kim called out, now entering DoubleSoul MegaSoul. "MegaBuster Charge Shot!" she yelled, shooting away several Swordy Viruses. "I'm coming for you, Lucre!" she called out.
Frugal Lucre started to run away from the angry Viruses and Solo NetNavis. As he did, the CutMan Brothers were waiting with a TimeBoomer to drop on him.
"DoubtFireSoul, Navi Chip In! DoubtFire Strike Force!" Kim called out.
At that minute, the TimeBoomer transformed into five Spikey Viruses and attacked the CutMan Brothers.
"Have a taste of this!" BubbleMan called out as he and some Shrimpy Viruses attacked.
"StepSword!" Kim called out, AreaStealing and slashing through the Viruses before clashing with BubbleMan. The two moved in a flurry of sword movements, clashing back and forth with each other, water against energy, MiracleWorker against Bubble AquaSword.
"Please move, Kim Possible!" MistMan exclaimed. "Majin Tackle!"
Kim looked to MistMan with confusion before his Majin Tackle hit BubbleMan, causing him to fall back.
"SnakeSword!" CobraMan called out.
"Soul Mist!" MistMan called out, immobilizing CobraMan.
"You… traitor!" CobraMan called out, trying to move before MistMan reappeared behind him.
"Majin Tackle!" MistMan called out, punching CobraMan hard and destroying the SnakeSword.
"You… you're helping me?" Kim asked.
"Any friend of Lan's is a friend of mine," MistMan stated. "Now, stop Frugal Lucre!"
"Thanks, MistMan!" Kim called out as she ran after a running Lucre. "I owe you one!"
"Try non-fat turkey dogs," Ron said to a man as he took several Vienna Sausages from him. He and Rufus worked hard to take away all of the Vienna Sausage Cans before they could get scanned. He suddenly came across a man unwilling to hand over his can. "Sir, the Future of the Internet and all of NetNavis is in your hands. Just give me the sausages, and nobody gets hurt."
"Not at these prices, Bargain Boy!" the man argued.
Ron's eyes went wide. His voice reminded him of Dr. Drakken.
"Wow!" Ron exclaimed, shaking it off. "Look at the prices on that processed cheese!"
"Oh, the cheese!" the Drakken-Sounding Man exclaimed, giving Ron the time to grab the can.
"1999," Ron read. It was expired. "Kim! I got the can!"
"And I've got Lucre!" Kim called out, ejecting from CrossFusion and teleporting to take a Tag Gun to clip onto Lucre's shirt.
"Thanks for shopping at Smarty Mart!" the clerk said as Lucre left. However, once Lucre passed the alarm, it sounded off, the door closed on him, and the clerk pushed him against the wall. "Up against the wall!" he ordered. "Move! Move! Move!"
"I gotta admit, Lucre. Your bargain-brand villainy was right up there with big-budget evil." Kim said as she and Ron approached Lucre in front of the defeated NetNavis, including CobraMan, with MistMan standing by their side.
"You might have stopped me this time, Kim Possible, but Frugal Lucre will return!" Lucre exclaimed, laughing evilly before stopping to say, "If my mom bails me out."
"You have done well, Kim Possible," MistMan said. He crossed his arms and bowed to Kim. "You and Ron Stoppable have permission to summon me with this Lamp at any time," he said, handing the two a Magic Lamp. "Farewell."
"MistMan, Logging Out."
All of the NetNavis retreated back into the Cyberworld, muttering angrily.
"Hey, Monique! Nice threads!" Tara said to Monique as she and Anetta walked through the Halls the next day.
"See?" Anetta asked. "I told you they'd like it!"
"$1.50 for a soft pretzel?! Cafeteria lady must think I'm made of money!" Ron exclaimed at M-Tech High.
"Pretzels are on sale to for a dollar at Smarty Mart." Kim said, looking through a magazine.
"No way!"
"What happened?" AncientMysticMan asked.
"The store manager was so grateful, he gave me and Kim a $100 gift certificate." Miracle explained.
"And it really is silly to pay designer label prices for the same stuff," Kim said. "…Unless you're paying for a really, really super cool pair of boots like these!" she pointed out in the Club Banana Magazine as Ron looked through the Smarty Mart Magazine.
"You mean these boots right here?" Ron asked.
"Ron, they aren't exactly the same. Look," Kim said, pointing to a magazine. "Smarty Mart boots come in black. Club Banana's are Onyx."
All of a sudden, the Kimmunicator PET rang.
"Famous?" Kim asked. "What is it?"
"A message for you and Ron," Famous explained. He pulled it up for Kim and Ron to read. When they did, they gasped with shock. "Call in a favor for this one."
"ATTENTION! URGENT MATTER, SAFETY OF THE WORLD AT STAKE! NEED HELP ASAP!"
"Hawaii…" Kim started out.
"Here we come." Miracle finished up.
"Charming little lump of fur," Dr. Drakken said in his flying car, with one glove off. His smile disappeared as he turned to a blue creature clamped tight to a seat. "Well, you might as well get comfortable." He spat.
"We assure you, where you're going is a lot less pleasant." LaserMan said.
The blue creature growled, struggling to get free. Behind him, a comet flew by. It was none other… than Duo.
