Authoresses notes - YAWN... I'm tired. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Now what do I need to tell you this time? Nothing, really. Just for the heck of it I'm gonna tell you the disclaimer thing again... All Kim Possible characters are copyright Disney, but all others are owned by ME! YOUR MASTER!!! (Skidlebop, you are my faithful slave - I mean, REVEIWER and you are the one that keeps me writing this hunk of crap, so thanks! So go forth and become a happy cabbage out of life)

9.

Drakken didn't feel like leaving his room thing, he was too deep in thought.

How the heck could he trick all of the clan people to help him?! It almost seemed impossible. He earlier gotten his hopes up about the treasure-room. Now finding that record room was pointless. He hoped the Reguba clan would just get rid of this stupid clan place. Hopefully their spies or assassins would just find that idiotic shark and... plan. Yes, it was a plan that was forming in his head. Why couldn't he just "help" the Reguba clan into thinking he's already a member of Cosmos clan. Their leader didn't know a thing about him! And with that down he could easily fool their leader into thinking there are more clans that's gonna attack them but it's not! It'll be Kim and her buffoon of a sidekick! With them out out the way things will be SO easy!

Drakken got up. He knew Pyrolite would be leaving anytime soon, so he needed to catch her quick!

He leaped out of the room and into the halls, and started running bowling people all over the place.

Pyrolite and her party was just nearing the entranceway to the fort when she was suddenly jerked back by the shoulder. She was looking up at Dr. Drakken and she frowned. "Yes my little blue footed booby?" (It's a BIRD people!) she asked and he looked to the side. "Right... Anyway, I was wondering why don't you just use the sigil things to get to their clan? It shouldn't be too hard just to find their sigil, but then again I know YOU will never find out, so I wonder why I got my hopes up. Never mind."

Pyrolite looked offended. "I already KNOW their sigil. It's a red arrow shaft." she informed him and talked quickly, giving a quick glance to the rest walking out. "And we don't know where we would pop up so we're just being safe. Buh-bye!" With that she ran out to join the others and Dr. Drakken smiled triumphantly. He was so good!

Outside, Pyrolite randomly whacked her spear at anything whack-able.

The constant noise was annyoing the hell out of everyone, even Kichen who is really patient and calm. He glared at her out of the corner of his eye. "Dude... you better cut that out before I wring your neck." She gave him a fake smile and stopped her whacking, ceasing her only source of amusement.

She wondered what Kim will do to Dr. Drakken while she was gone. Pyrolite knew Kim wasn't afraid of her, or she was 'higher' then her. Kim just played it safe around Pyrolite and Dr. D, knowing that Pyrolite can get all spastic over her whole idea of 'animal freedom.' They all eventually got to the base of mountain and quickly adjusted to walking straight and not downhill. Pyrolite took one last good look at the mountain. She might not come back. She should've apologized to some people... but it was too late now. Then one of the older shifters Zen, with a phenotype of a badger turned around and easily whirled her around. "We're came to find the Reguba clan.. not stare at pretty sites."

She growled at him for being too serious and quickened her pace to walk with her own age.

Drakken made his way to the 'treasure room' to find the red arrow shaft sigil. He planned exactly what to say as he finally came to the cavern. He just kicked the shark sigil and the regular procedure of the door opening happened again. He looked around for any signs of red and finally saw only a line from where it was, but not the feather on end and the point. It was a good thing it wasn't at the very top, but he did have to jump a little to get it. Right when his hand was about to hit it, the Shark sigil symbol on the ground lit up and it looked like a bunch of horse shifters were just standing up in deep water. Oh, great, Drakken thought. It's those horse things again... he just now remembered that they were supposed to come and 'help.' They turned to him. There was six in all and half of them were guys and the others were girls. Drakken got nervous."Uh... hi. Cosmos said that you would be here right about now..?" "Okay! Where is the little bugger right now?" One of them asked, boredly tapping his sword point against his foot-hoof. Drakken shrugged. "I have no clue." "A-Okay!" A black one with a white nose said. She simply walked out of the room followed by the other five. Drakken just stood there for a while and then sighed in releif. That was too close... he turned and saw the familiar red arrow shaft and smiled. This would be fun!

"Got any sour cream? No you don't. I bet you don't.... NOT TOO CLOSE! I NEED SPACE!!!!"

Ron finally felt at home. He shouted commands and worked on his project in the kitchens with shifters looking at him strangely and at what he was making. "Then you halfway roll it up and... YOU'RE DONE!" He held up his masterpeice like it was gold. "The taco!" He took a big bite out of it and Rufus also grabbed his own peice. "Mmmmm... good."

Kim walked in to see what he was doing. "Ron? This clan has traditions. Bringing tacos to it will so not help."

Ron and Rufus both gave her a dirty look. "I would've made nacos but they didn't have tortillas." Kim sighed and motioned for him to follow. "I know Drakken is up to no good. You should've seen him knocking people over in the halls earlier. And now I have no clue where he is." Ron finished his taco and got up. "What makes you think it's something evil he's doing?" Kim raised her eyebrows. "There's always the thought he's bent on conquering the world?"

Ron nodded. "That's a start... what's some more clues? We can crack this case TOGETHER!"

It was dark from where he was. He knew that their room of sigils was long forgotten by the way the doors opened. It looked like it would crumble from old age. Now he was outside. What suprised him was that the clan was almost like a medieval castle except it wasn't as high and the walls were covered in vines. He looked behind him. He had just come out of one of the four towers that were where the wall met. (from above, it would look like a rectangle so get the point!) Drakken started walking and saw a single doorway leading into the side of a cliff. The doorway was huge and it had large wooden door. Small balconys were on either side and there were sentries standing with weapons. One spotted him, who had heavy battle armour. "Who are you and what do you want?" He commanded and Drakken rolled his eyes. They even acted like people back in the day!

"I just want to tell your leader something he might think is very important..." he asnwered, sounding like he expected them to let him through. The sentry talked a minute to the one next to him for awhile and then walked back through the doorway nehind him. A moment later the doors opened and he stood along with another shifter waiting for him to come in. Drakken did, pretty much ignoring the two at his sides. The inside was alot better then the Cosmos clan. The walls had grey bricks, not the tan ones, and it had candles on walls and not torches. They went through several halls, up a slight stairway and were soon walking through a hall with a blood red ribbon-like carpet stretching through the middle of the hall to a marble door far back. One of the sentries knocked. "Someone is here and says he has something you'd think was important." The heavy door swung open quickly (showing it was really marble plated...) and Drakken was face to face with someone about his age. She had a cat-like face but it was still human and olive eyes with slitted pupils. Her hair was golden-brown and she wore a white tanktop. She did have a tail about a yard long poking out of her olive-colored pants. She had light brown fur and no shoes, since instead she had digitrade cat-feet. 'At least she's better looking then sharky...' Drakken thought, and the cat- like person gave him a good long stare. "And you are?" "Dr. Drakken, and I just wanted to let you know-" he started before she hissed at the two sentries. "I can see he's here now! WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? STOP STARING AT ME LIKE THAT AND GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"

The two sentries turned and ran. The cat person turned back to Drakken. "Dr. Drakken? So you obviously belong in no clan. You know who I am, right?" she narrowed her eyes, almost like a challenge. "No, not really." She tensed her body and took a step forward. She contained herself from ripping him apart. Who knows what he had to tell her. "I am Mara Reguba! What do you have to tell me? Is it valuable?"

"Pretty much." Dr. Drakken replied and she grabbed him by the shirt and tugged him inside, slamming the door shut. "Then no one can here. No one knows what other clans could be listening..."

Her room was huge. Almost all of it was empty space. The ground was stone with yet another blood-red carpet leading from the doorway to a king-sized bed. There was a huge window stain glass window in the side of the room of different shades of green. "The Cosmos clan is coming here sometime tonight to see why you want war on them." he simply stated, and Mara whipped her tail around. Only now did Drakken notice the long scratch marks of frustration on the rooms walls to show she was bad-tempered.

She tried keep herself calm. "I do beleive you... anything else? Who's coming and what weapons do they have?" she asked immediatly and quickly. "I really don't know that."

She threw an arm around his shoulder and tried to play nice. "Well, you seem to be a use for me. If I let you in on a little secret... and share what that secret is with you on one condition... you will help?" Drakken looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "I just want you to get rid of them."

She tensed up again. Who does he think he is?!, she thought angrily and growled. He ignored her. "Look, we can help eachother and both of us will get what we want. Now does the Cosmos clan trust you?" she questioned again. "Yup." He replied, watching as she plastered a big, fake smile on her face. "Then you can find things out... any specific things that are important during the supposed attack?" she asked. Drakken realized that they would most likely kill them. And if Pyrolite was killed, that wouldn't be good. He'd feel guilty - so far she had tried to help him, and the only reason why she was so stupid is that she was happy most of the time. He took a deep breath. "One of them has short brown hair and red paint on her face. She knows some really important stuff so you shouldn't hurt her." Mara nodded. "Alright. Well, you can go now and see if you can figure some more things out. I need to ready some of my fighters for our little visit." With that, she pushed him outside and slammed the door shut. He smiled to himself and started walking out. Oh, yeah. Go Dr. D. You rock.

Cosmos took a good look at the six physical horse shifters infront of them. They looked like they were more native American style by their clothes. "So... what are your names?" he said dully. A Budenny (A Russian horse) stepped forward that had a spear announced himself and the others. "I'm Frisco, the captain of all our fighters. This is Elora (Tiger horse), Morgan (Pinto), Palla (Azteca), Huttser (Australian Stock Horse), and Yili (Yili, Duh)." Cosmos nodded. "Alright. Thnaks for coming to help us. Right now a party has been sent to see why they want war with us, and you'll help us alot by being here." They all grinned. "Aww... that really flatters us!"

The party had been walking for the whole day (alot complaining the whole time) when they finally saw the Reguba fort. Everyone practically threw themselves at the ground when the sentries came into veiw. It looked as though they were expecting them. Instead of relaxing like they normally would, they were alert and had bow and arrows. Pyrolite whispered to Thunder next to her, "There's tons of 'em!" He nodded. "Yeah. I think I see the leader looking through that window up there." he said, pointing up at a green stained glass window that shown a shadow through it. Zen glared at them. "Do you WANT to get caught? Let's all break apart instead of being a group." Everyone wandered in their own direction. Dr. Drakken was leaning against a wall when he saw Pyrolite wander out from the woods unnoticed. She looked up at a wall and began to slowly scale it by using the vines to pull herself up. She finally made it over and fell on the ramparts. There was a sentry standing right next to her with a pike. He noticed her and was about to shout out, when she simply thrust her hand into his chest. There was a long silence and she finally pulled her hand out. Pyrolite looked like she was more disguisted at the fact blood got under her claws. Mara saw the whole thing from her window. She rushed through the halls and grabbed a pike from a guard standing next to her. "Attack on the south wall!" she ordered and ran toward there. Others ran there also, but a few also saw the rest of the party climbing over. "Where's the leader?" Velt called to Kichen. "Here I am!" Mara shouted back and then flung the pike forward. There was a sickening crunch as the pike met his stomach and he fell. She walked over the ramparts taking notice that a few were surrounding a girl. She had the same profile Drakken described.

"Don't kill her! Capture her instead!" she commanded and they obeyed by a Physical hyena shifter grabbing her around the stomach from behind. Pyrolite made a 'meep' noise and reached behind her, clawing at what she thought was his neck and then kicked out at any shifters brave enough to get close to her. Once they were all either kicked into unconsciousness, she grabbed the weakened hyena behind her by the head and pulled him over her easily. "I am STRONG! Grrr!" she shouted feeling full of herself, squeaked at the sight of more shifters coming at her and ran. Kichen leaped out infront of her and grabbed her by the arm.

"Where's your spear?" She held up about one fourth of the handle. He rolled his eyes and began dragging her toward the huge doors to enter the fort. Being locked, the only way was to get in by the sentry lookouts. Pyrolite was the first to jump on them and start climbing, shortly followed by Kichen. She began to pull herself onto the balcony, and turned to look at Kichen. She stopped what she was doing as she saw him dead lying on his side with an arrow in his back. She first was full of sadness, then extreme hate. It was those damn archers on the balconies! With sudden determination, she pulled herself over the edge and immediatly grabbed an archer by the neck. "You killed my friend you worthless scum!" she growled in his face and then flung him over the side of the balcony. She ducked when the archers on the balconies on the side to her started to fire. She grabbed an unused longbow next to her and popped back up, chucking it. It landed itself in his stomach. The sentry grabbed it and fell over the edge. "YEAH! SCORE!" She shouted, throwing a fist up in the air. She ran inside the fort and looked around. This place was pretty good-looking! Now where to go? A tempting hall caught her attention so she ran in. There were no guards thankfully. She began to walk instead, feeling that no one was too close. There was a slight stairway infront of her and she walked up. A long hall with a red carpet was laid out infront of her. This had to be where the leader's room was. She walked on forward and opened a marble-plaited door. This room was pretty big, but mostly empty. Pyrolite walked up to the stainglass window and looked out. Her throat tightened, seeing that everyone was dead. The Reguba clan was now carrying bodies, dumping them in a pile and then she watched as Mara lit it in flames using a stone and dagger, and then gave them a lecture. She could barely hear it. "Now you see what only these nine people can do! There was about forty of us and now only twenty-eight left. This proves that we should train. And six of our Physical shifters have been lost to a bunch of regular shifters! When we have war, are all of us going to die just because you lot just couldn't fight?! I'm assigning three of the fighters who did the most damage as captains to teach the rest of these idiots. Bran, Khaz, Larka! You better start teaching them as soon as tommorrow morning." With that, she whirled around, leaving the three chosen all giddy. Pyrolite watched the flames swirl and then realized Mara was coming back. She ran out and back to safety outside.

Kim finally saw Drakken while she was walking through the halls. "Haven't seen you all night." she said acidly. He grunted and continued on his way. Victory for Reguba clan... but bad news for Pyrolite. He didn't see her leave at all. Drakken wondered if she was okay. He might be evil but he never really killed anyone before. He didn't mind it too much, anyway, but when it was someone you knew dying, even if it was someone you didn't like too much it still made you feel quilty. Being about one in morning, he just went to bed.
