Kim Possible: Marvels

"We're running out of time, guys," Jim and Tim told them as they noted Android was near the location they had pinpointed. "We just detected GJ's blip in the same satellite image, and they are definitely headed right for the same place. Looks like even the cops are on the ball this time."
"We have to arrive before they do, and they unleash Behemoth on all of us," Bonnie realized. "Approaching the general target coordinates, and I don't think we need any more help, boys," Android told them. "We seeing a very massive fortress, and I'm wagering that if it isn't the primary headquarters, it's a close second. I'm scanning massive security, missiles, and at least a thousand body heat signatures. We definitely have something major going on."
"I suggest going stealth now," Tim told him.
"Already cloaking. We'll try to get close, and find the machine."
"Well, make it quick. We did an area scan, and it looks like GJ is definitely headed right for you, too. ETA looks to be fifteen," Jim added.
"Are they insane," Sting complained. "Bringing Wade to the place where people want him to lose control?"
"I also suspect that Dr. Director still imagines aiming him like a WMD, and then keeping him from reaching…. Of course," Android replied so gravely that even she was stunned.
"What," Sting asked as they soared over a wall just skirting a robotic guard, and landed near a massive wing that looked like a video game castle.
"I suspect Dr. Director intends to use a dimensional weapon to banish our friend after he has taken out any and all hostiles here."
"She can't do that," Bonnie gasped, actually liking Wade even if he was kind of stalky with all his computer peeping at times.
"It's the only logical fallback if something like Behemoth is released, and has already proven he cannot be contained by ordinary means."
"But….can't Shego stop him again?"
"Last time she didn't really stop him. Just herded him until he finally, apparently, got bored, and left. Or maybe she did wear him out enough that he had to leave. Still, that's how the authorities caught Shego. She was left exhausted, and buried until the law could dig her out. By which time Behemoth, or Wade, vanished. Until he reappeared in Dr. Director's custody."
"That's still a crappy thing to do to him. I thought they were working on a cure."
"Obviously, your idea of a cure, and Dr. Director's ideas, are far removed."
"Whatever," the brunette hissed as they activated their own stealth, and stepped out of the weird little car invisible to any that might see them. "Let's just go turn off the damn machine and save everyone," she spat.
"I quite agree," he said, and looked around.
"That way," he said. "I'll see if my intangible state can get me through the door, and open it for you. Meanwhile, I suggest you prepare…."
"I'm already getting my own army together," Sting assured him, flying in his wake. "Just in case."
"Wise," he said, and turned translucent even to her special visor that let her seem him in spite of being cloaked. He then seemed to just melt through the wall without leaving any sign he had been there.
She couldn't help but shiver. Watching Android slide right through that steel panel made her remember all those ghost stories they used to tell back in Pixie Scouts. Okay, she thought they were silly. Still, you could never help asking 'what if' every time you heard some of the more plausible. Even knowing who, and what Android was, she just couldn't help but shiver.
She glanced around, spotting three guards that moved around the building, and acting extra alert, she shrank back against the building in spite of being only a few inches tall. The men proved to be the standard for patrols as she hovered there, feeling more and more exposed as she waited on Android.
Maybe she was going to need to find her own way inside after all?
Maybe something had happened that he couldn't handle.
Maybe….
The door slid open, and she looked inside to see a half dozen men in red uniforms all slumped unconscious, and Android standing there in his cape looking like a Halloween caricature.
"I apologize for the delay. I needed to ensure I shut off their comm systems before I engaged the area guards," he told her.
"No problem, but we'd better step it up. We have…nine minutes, and it looks like these guys are expecting company any second."
"I noticed we have a lot of very careful patrols, and sentries. No slackers here."
"Which suggests the boss is in residence, too," she asked pointedly.
"That is a very good probability. Shall we find the machine, and then start making things….difficult for any offense?"
"Sounds like a plan," she nodded, and quickly flew inside even as he closed the door before the next patrol appeared.
~KP~
"Why didn't you report in person the moment you had this Intel," Dr. Director demanded as Shego walked into the command center just two minutes after being told about the missing team members. "And where are your colleagues. What is going on?"
Shego decided to charge.
"If your snitches had given you everything, you'd know Drakken is on his way to interrogation, and my teammates are already dispatched trying to stop a serious screw-up that you helped instigate."
"Watch it, Shego," she growled. "I'm not in the mood…."
"Just tell me you're not about to dump Wade on top of Gemini, and hope things work out," she demanded. "Because we both know where you're headed."
"Of course not," the senior spy smirked. "I'm keeping a dimensional portal generator trained on him, and once we have ensured that neither my brother, nor Hench can recover from this assault, I'll ensure Behemoth never threatens this planet again."
"You…. You cold-hearted bitch. Possible may have a cure….!"
"I should have known. She even got through to you, didn't she? Well, her naïve optimism is misplaced this time. And the world doesn't have time for maybes, and hopes. Today, I shut down our greatest major threats with one blow, and then we can mop up the residual threats without doomsday hanging over our heads," Dr. Director claimed.
"Wrong, you blind harpy," Shego spat, and every agent on the bridge tensed as Shego gripped the woman by her uniform, and slung her around to slam into a console. "We just found out you're playing right in your idiot twin's hands, and are about to commit genocide!"
"That's impossible….."
She tore loose, and banged a fist on a nearby console, activating a failsafe already prepped.
"Now you'll see how well my plans work," Betty shot.
"Go hot! Do it, Red," Shego snapped over her comm. "This crazy woman just launched our buddy without flinching."
"On it. Get ready for company. I'm reading a lot of energy signatures coming our way. And I mean a lot of them," she said over the comm.
"You brought her here," Betty demanded hotly. "I should have known you were…."
"I'm trying to save our butts here, you one-eyed idiot," she spat. "Justine, gear up, and get to working on coordinating with our team. Find out who has, or hasn't reported!"
"Sting just reported the machine's down," Justine replied over the open comm. "But she said Viper has dozens of mind-controlled Marvels, and that's just the first wave. Dr. Possible was right. Get ready for company!"
"Damn. Any word on Team Two?"
"No. They've been radio silent since you briefed me."
"What," Betty fumed, and glared back at Shego. "What are you trying to….?"
Shego physically turned Dr. Director to stare at the main screens, and she fell silent as the images on the screen stunned even her.
"All those missing Marvels you didn't think important," the comet-powered woman growled as they saw the waves of men and women rushing toward the landing GJ jets who were part of the first strike. "Guess again!"
Shego swore, then turned, and raced out of the room, shouting, "Screw this, Bets. I'm missing all the action, and you're a bigger idiot than even I realized."
"How did I miss….?"
"Dr. Director, we have flying Marvels inbound, and aircraft behind them," another agent shouted.
Dr. Director drew a deep breath, and grimaced. She knew this wasn't going to be easy, but she had been hoping to at least surprise her enemies. Only now it was starting to look like she had been led around by the nose.
Again!
Damn that Sheldon! It was their senior year all over again.
Well, not this time.
"All hands, prepare for attack. Launch all auxiliary fighters! All agents to battle stations," she shouted.
Shego was still running for her own transport when she heard the alarms, and men began to rush past her.
"Better late than never," she muttered dourly, and hoped they lived through this one. "Possible, tell me you got Wade out of there in time!"
"Uh…..half and half," the woman said uneasily.
Shego groaned.
~KP~
So far, everything was going according to plan. She got onto the GJ ship without anyone detecting her, and then she slipped away to debrief Justine while Shego played distraction with the blue loon. She borrowed Justine's key card, and used it to get to the escape pod holding Wade, and was just about to open it when the metallic clamps just released.
"Snap," she spat, and lunged at the pod, grabbing it in a magnetic grip to ensure she didn't get spun off by the inertia of the falling cylinder as she overrode the locking mechanism, and eyed a pale, wide-eyed Wade who was biting his lip, and clenching is fists when the hatch opened.
"Go hot! Do it, Red," Shego snapped over her comm. "This crazy woman just launched our buddy without flinching."
No kidding, Kim grimaced as she activated a port in her armor to reach her serum.
"On it," she replied, willing Wade to stay calm. "Get ready for company. I'm reading a lot of energy signatures coming our way. And I mean a lot of them," she said over the comm.
Then she focused on Wade.
"No time to talk. This may help," Kim told him, and put the small vial to his lips after pulling it from her open port that she used to reach her belt.
The pale scientist cringed, but swallowed desperately even as he whimpered in distress.
"There is something…. Trying to….. Trigger…."
"Bonnie and Felix shut Gemini's machine down," she frowned.
"No," he growled, and looked up at her with glowing yellow eyes as his face began to physically pulse, as if something were trying to push out from behind his skull. "GJ….is using….something!"
"Why….? Of course," she said, and turned to examine the equipment in the pod even as Wade suddenly snarled, and suddenly swelled ever larger, and before she could react, a huge fist slammed into her gut, and drove her back, and out of the pod.
"Not good," Kim wheezed, barely managing to focus enough to regain control of her flight before she looked down, and grimaced as she heard Justine warning about the incoming. Still, she had to hope that serum worked, and maybe…..
She stared down at the pod that slammed into a wall near the side of the main gate, and created a small crater. Then a nine foot, slate-gray giant the press had dubbed Behemoth rose out of the rubble, shook itself, and raised massive fists as it roared its rage, and began tearing into anything, and anyone around him with grim, and brutal efficiency.
"Definitely not good," she grimaced as some of the powered agents on Viper/WEE's side turned back, and tried to bring the giant down. Or at least turn him against the incoming GJ agents now reaching the breach in the walls, and dropping the slower robotic guards with ease as they swarmed into the growing chaos.
Only some of those enemy Marvels were coming to deal with them, too, and things were starting to get very one-sided as the human agents found themselves caught in the open spaces between shattered walls, and the fortress-like structure of the GDN headquarters.
"Looks like I better lend a hand even if Dr. Director will probably try to blame me for all this," she sighed, and flew down to smash into a muscular brute she had seen on the news all too often.
"Back off, Lenny," she called him. "There's no profit here."
The usually talkative small-time crook who usually used his muscle to pull open bank vaults just glared, and came after her again.
"Okay. So, mind-control, just like Shego said, and opened another port in her armor, and pulled out a small, plastic toy.
Or what appeared to be a toy.
"Okay, Tweebs, let's hope this really works," she declared, and fired the EM projector in the weapon the boys had made for her.
Lenny, also known as Breaker, staggered, shook his head, and looked around in confusion.
"What the hell," he demanded.
"Short version," Kim told him. "Gemini is out to blow up the world, and you were duped into helping. So, now that your head's clear, want to stop him, or go back to jail?"
Lenny frowned, and looked around even as Kim fired her device at a young man in red who was charging her with at least twenty copies of himself.
All twenty faltered, and vanished, leaving one confused hero staring around as if lost.
"Hell, Possible," Lenny spat, knowing her in spite of her Armor as they had met a few times when he risked trying Middleton for a few capers. "You know I'm out for the cash, and just that. Only nobody pulls that puppet crap with me. Nobody."
"Then tear off that guady uniform, and help the good guys," she said, and fired again at another group of Marvels starting to tear into several GJ agents.
"Possible, consider it done," the big man growled, and simply grabbed his red tunic, and shredded it in his big fist. "Hey, you posers. We got played," he shouted at the confused Marvels the agents were starting to surround now. "So who wants payback?"
Kim moved to hold the GJ agents back with a raised hand, and assured the leader they were neutralized.
"Hell, yeah," more than one of those standing with Breaker growled. "Who do we hit?"
"Gemini," Kim pointed at the fortress yet to be penetrated even as more men, and robots continued to pour out to join the chaos even as she heard Behemoth roar again not far off, and the entire ground seemed to shake.
"Oh, no," a blonde woman Kim didn't know hissed, looking uneasy. "I'm not facing that thing! I saw what he did last time he broke out."
"I'll handle him. You take out Gemini," Kim told her. "It'll look a lot better on your records than being mind-controlled goons," she added as one of the Wego twins came over, and eyed her.
"You have to help me get my brothers free. They're still inside."
"You get them to me, and I will. Right now, I have to go help another friend before he gets in more trouble."
"Who is it? Maybe I can….?"
"Him," she pointed at nine foot of raging, gray muscle slammed into the ground, dragging an armored tank with him as he leapt halfway across the compound to land near them.
Blazing amber eyes fixed on Kim, and the tank was lifted in both hands, obviously about to smash it down on Kim.
Kim tensed, about to try to fight when the tank was suddenly flung against a portion of the standing wall, and four robots aiming a suspicious device at her were crushed even as another wide breach was torn into the wall.
"Uh…..Wade," she asked guardedly, the giant growling viciously as he watched the GJ agents all backing away, some looking ready to run.
The giant stared down at her, and made a snorting sound.
"Be-mof," the voice like muted thunder growled almost indignantly, and surprisingly articulately. "Bemof pound stupid red mans," he growled, and turned to leap at the fortress as the defenders now screamed in terror as the giant's leap not only put him at the heavy doors, but tore through them, and brought down most of the walls around him as he landed just inside, and kept going.
"He….. He talks," a female GJ agent actually whimpered, and passed out.
Kim breathed in relief, and hoped that was a good sign.
"Look, we're trying a cure on him that may work out. So spread the word. No one attack him, and maybe we can get him to help us without doing anything else. Got it," she told the stunned GJ leader still gaping after the gray giant.
She turned, and headed after Wade, or Behemoth, and hoped her calculations were right, and that he wasn't going to go nuts again.
Even as she more flew than ran into the complex, ignoring the men fighting around her, she didn't even notice Wego grimly run after her as he followed her into the fortress.
To Be Continued…..
