Chapter 52

Ron and Drakken continued to sissy-slap each other on the face.

"I will….triumph over you yet, you buffoon!" Drakken exclaimed, flailing his hands around Ron's face.

"Not on…your life…Drakken…" Ron shouted, doing likewise to Drakken's face.

What they didn't know was that Wade, whom controlled the Kimmunicator via a custom-made joystick, finally reached the panel to where the Rarium was located.

"Gotcha!" Wade exclaimed, typing the computer at a furious pace. "Now….let's get rid of the security features!"

Utilizing his full knowledge of security systems, he disabled the security provisions on the Building Transporter with a virus.

SECURITY SYSTEMS…DISABLED

Once he heard that message, Wade knew he was in the clear. He used the claw to pry open the metallic door.

Wade then saw something else that caught his attention, the head chemist of Danville Laboratories, Professor Bunsen Burner.

Burner began to explain, "Um, Mr. Load…"

"Um…can't you see that I'm trying to find the Rarium that powers Drakken's machine?" Wade said, seeing that he can't concentrate on two things at once. "I'll listen once I obtain.

There, he saw the green Rarium element rock.

"Bingo!"

"Mr. Load, there's something you need to know about the Rarium element…"

"About to get Rarium rock….almost….there…." Wade grunted, leaning in his chair closer and closer.

He extended the claw forward to obtain the rare rock. The glowing rock was caught firmly in the grasp of the claw.

"Yes!" Wade exclaimed with a burning triumph, "Now…let's get you back into your protective black box!"

Ron felt something escape from his pants pocket.

"Whoa…whoa…whoa…Timeout!" he insisted, making a T with his hands.

The both of them stopped slapping for now.

"Fine…what is it…" Drakken pouted, folding his hands, and put the remote on his tool belt.

"Rufus! Where is he?" Ron panicked, looking through his pants pockets.

"I don't care about where's your pink rat! Time in!" Drakken exclaimed, and the two resumed weakly slapping each other on the face.

Kim, meanwhile, continued to struggle against the gum restraints fired by Norm.

"What's the matter, Princess? Stuck in a sticky situation?" Shego chuckled.

"Shego!" Kim exclaimed, "You'll never win!"

Shego gave an evil smile and somersaulted to the top of Norm's shoulder, "Well, Kimmie, I already have!"

She continued on, powering up her plasma flames. "Norm, you got any laser things that fire?"

"From my hand?" came the reply from the robot.

"That'll do!" she said, continuing to grin. "Prepare to fire it up!"

"Isn't that a little much, Shego?" Kim asked with a glare on her face, still struggling.

"Oh, believe me, Princess, it'll be enough!" Shego chuckled. "Norm, fire it up!" She also fired up her plasma flames from her hands as well.

The green glow from Norm's laser hand began to emit.

"In just a few seconds, Kimmie, there'll be nothing left of you!" Shego laughed.

Kim glanced her eyes slightly away from Shego, and began to chuckle.

Shego noticed the smirk on her nemesis and scoffed, "What's so funny, Princess? Can't you see that you're about to be vaporized?"

Kim retaliated with her smirk, "Who says I'm going to be vaporized, Shego?"

Shego then noticed the three words she didn't want to hear…

"Laser shutting down…." came the words from Norm. The green glow of Norm's hand laser disappeared

"What?!" Shego exclaimed in disbelief. "How did…." She looked down at Norm's hand, then back at Kim, and back at Norm's hand again and that was when she spotted…

( Agent P )

Agent P was there, grinning at Shego and holding a green wire.

"That's the wire to my laser!" Norm said, pointing to it.

"That….little….beaver…." Shego gasped in stunned disbelief.

"For your information, Shego, he's not a beaver…" Kim smirked, "He's…a platypus! Don't get your species mixed up!"

Then, looking at her gum restraints, she shouted, "Now, Agent P!"

Agent P smiled and activated a laser from the top of his fedora. It zapped the gum restraints on her hands and feet.

"Thanks, P, you rock!" Kim smiled, now free of the gum restraints.

Agent P tipped the brim of his hat.

Shego, meanwhile, somersaulted from Norm's shoulder to the ground, her plasma flames burning brighter.

"Maybe your pal will make a perfect mount for Drakken's wall!" she growled.

Kim chortled, "Not on my watch, Shego!"

The two of them resumed fighting against each other, one of them trying to gain the upper hand over the other.

Agent P heard a beep on his OWCA-issued wrist-watch as Monogram's image came on.

"Agent P," he explained, "I think Miss Possible has that Shego character under control! Remember, you need to find the aiming mechanism to the Amnesia-inator for your side-mission! We'll meet you soon once you obtain it!"

Monogram continued, "And we have also improved your watch, Agent P, to give a detailed X-ray of Doofenshmirtz's lair, so finding the mechanism should be much easier for you!"

Agent P saluted as he headed on his way to Doofenshmirtz's Pants-fall-down-inator.


Back at the island, Candace and the girls were walking on mid-air with the shoes.

Tara showed off a tumble in mid-air.

"Whee….take that, gravity!" she exclaimed.

"That's the magic in those shoes!" Phineas smiled, and yelled from below, "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, press those buttons!"

The hotel guests down below, around 500 in number, pressed the buttons on the same anti-gravity sneakers that Ferb had made and they all floated upwards to the same level as the floating volleyball court, surrounding the two teams.

Phineas said, "Now…any questions before our game begins?"

"Just one…" Monique requested, "How will points be added up? We don't have any ground beneath our shoes!"

Phineas chuckled a little. "Well, that's were Ferb's genius comes into play! The ball please?"

Ferb gave a slight nod and tossed his step-brother the ball.

"Thanks, bro!" he complimented before explaining to Monique.

"Ferb made specific calculations to the ball, applying for mass and volume. He put this neat-o mechanism here!"

Phineas pointed to an alternating blinking light. It was flashing between blue and green.

He continued, "Ferb also worked on the boundaries of the net!" He pointed at two blinking blue light fixtures on Candace's side and two blinking green light fixtures on Phineas' side.

"He also synchronized the ball with the light fixtures. The beams from the fixtures create a general area around both our teams, so if one fails to touch the ball before it hits the general area, the points will be tallied up!"

"Well, I'm comfortable with that!" Monique laughed.

"Okay, then!" Phineas exclaimed, then turned to his step-brother "Ferb, let's do the honors!"

"Ready to do this thing!" Candace exclaimed.

Ferb, somersaulting in the air, served the ball with his fist. The ball soared in the air to the other side.

Candace cuffed her fists, about to hit it back.

"I'm about to hit it! I'm about to hit it!" she beamed with a smile looking upwards, and then she looked at her boyfriend, floating in mid-air with those antigravity sneakers.

"Uh, Candace…" Jeremy said.

"Oh, hey, Jere-bear.." Candace tittered with a blush on her cheeks, turning all attention towards him.

"Candace…you might want to look up…." Jeremy said, pointing upwards.

The ball that Candace wasn't paying attention to suddenly hit her in the right cheek.

"Owww…my cheek" she exclaimed, rubbing the red mark. The ball hit the light area of Candace's side, giving Phineas' team the first point of the match.

Stacy turned to her friend and asked, "Candace, you okay?" She dove down a few feet below her to retrieve the ball, which she obtained.

"Yeah, Stace…I'm fine! Now, let get even!" Candace glared. Stacy then performed a backflip and hit the ball up into the air.

On Phineas' side, the ball was heading towards the direction of Baljeet.

"Are you kidding?" Buford taunted, "Nerds can't hit the ball!"

"Oh yeah, Buford? I have math as my guide!" Baljeet retorted, and then turned to the ball, "Now if I multiply the circumference of the ball times the speed and divided by the velocity of wind resistance. Furtermore, if I multiply the formula of pi times…."

And the ball proceeded to hit Baljeet on the head as it hit the light area on Phineas' side, giving Candace's team its first point.

"Oh yeah!" Monique exclaimed to Stacy, "You go, girl!"

Buford sighed, diving down to get the ball, "You and your complicated math mumbo-jumbo! You nerds need to build some muscle!"

"Buford, if you have a strategy of improving my chances of hitting the ball, I would like to hear it!"

"Hmm…I got an idea!" Buford chuckled a little.

The next thing he knew, Buford used his strength to swing the ball Baljeet as if he were a baseball bat.

"Buford!" Baljeet whined, "This is not what I call a strategy!"

"But it'll improve your hitting…right, nerd?" Buford replied with a grin.

"Admittedly, Buford's strength is added to mine so…yes…" Baljeet sighed.

The game continued onwards.


Doofenshmirtz finally emerged from underneath his Pants-Fall-Down-inator to discover the origin of the problem.

"Hey, Dr. Drakken, I found the reason for my problem with the device!" he exclaimed, pulling out a broken part of the machine.

"Can it wait, Dr. Doof?" Drakken asked, grunting and still sissy-slapping Ron, "I'm a little busy here!"

"Very well," Heinz replied and then analyzed the broken pieces. He heard the microwave bell ding.

"Oh yes, that must mean that my Mexican food is done!" he replied with a smile, opening the microwave door and taking out the Mexican entrée covered with a paper towel. He set the food right onto a table next to his Pants-Fall-Down-inator.

He shifted back to the broken mechanism, "It seems that my aiming mechanism seems to be made of wood with silver paint…" He groaned to himself, walking over to a nearby closet that contained pieces of his old -inators and opened the door. "That's the last time I order an –inator with a wooden mechanism! Now let's see what we have here….start-up buttons….a broken lever….."

Agent P rushed into the middle of the floor. He activated his X-Ray wristwatch to find the all-important aiming mechanism for the Amnesia-inator. The conical beam began to examine all around the area.

"Ahh….here it is!" Doof exclaimed, "the aiming mechanism for my Amnesia-inator!" He held up the aiming mechanism in the air. "It's about the same size so….it'll fit well!" He disposed of the broken parts of the aiming mechanism for the Pants-Fall-Down-inator in a nearby garbage can.

The targeting system finally beeped when it approached the vicinity where Doofenshmirtz was.

Agent P rushed up towards Doofenshmirtz and slapped him in the face with the tail.

"Perry the Platypus?!" he exclaimed, clenching the mechanism tight "What are you trying to do?"

Without any further explanation, Agent P punched him once more in the chest.

"Ooffff…." Doof grunted, falling to the floor and losing the grasp of the aiming mechanism as It fell with a clang to the floor.

He then heard his stomach growl once more.

"Perry the Platypus…why don't we call a little…you know…five-minute break because my stomach is empty and you threw that pizza right in my face…" Doofenshmirtz ranted. "But luckily, I got my Mexican food in handy!"

Agent P stopped for a moment and folded his arms, frustrated a little that his nemesis was stalling for time, and all this while Kim and Shego were still fighting.

Meanwhile, Ron yelled in the midst his slapping fest with Drakken.

"Timeout, again, dude, dude, daddy-o!"

"What is it this time now, buffoon?" Drakken complained.

"Seriously, man, I still can't Rufus anywhere!"

"Are you really that series about finding your rodent?"

"Yeah, dude, he's my best friend and…." Ron shouted and then began to smell a familiar hint of aroma that calmed him down. "Do you smell that?"

Drakken took a whiff to his nose, "Yes, it smells like…..cheap Mexican food…."

He then noticed Rufus crawling fast on the floor, squealing for joy,

"Cheeeeeese!" he squeaked, also attracted to the aroma.

"Follow that mole rat!" Ron demanded as he and Drakken followed the mole rat's tracks.


(On I-20, in Jackson)

Linda was looking down at her cell phone and noticed something odd as the parents were driving home to Danville, now with four stuffed likeliness of their children, plus Jeremy.

"Lawrence, I've noticed something…odd." Linda said, looking at the screen.

"What is it, luv?" Lawrence asked, keeping his eyes on the road as they approached the Pearl River Bridge.

"I haven't received a call or even a text message from Candace all day long!" Linda replied.

"Is it about the cheerleading?" he questioned further.

"No, it's about some 'unknown' thing she claims that the boys have built!" Linda snarked, then got an idea, "Say, Lawrence, how much do you wanna bet that Candace will show me…nothing?"

"Hmm…perhaps I would wager….$3 dollars?" Lawrence smiled.

"You're on!" Linda said with a bit of joy on her face. Then she yawned and put on a pair of extra-dark sunglasses on. She pressed the button that made the seat recline.

"Wake me up when we get back to Danville…."

"Okay, luv! Sweet dreams!" Lawrence smiled as the SUV turned to Highway 49 and they headed south, bound for Danville.
