Chapter 2 Somewhere Else
From Shego's point of view, Kim Possible had vanished. Startled, she didn't notice that the wall was suddenly a lot closer than it had been. When her foot hit the wall, her instincts kicked in, and she pushed off, doing a triple back flip, and landed in a defensive position.
'There was NO WAY that brat could have moved fast enough to get out of the way!' she thought.
Kimmie was nowhere in sight, and she quickly turned to survey the room. Nothing. Then she realized that no one else was there either. A second later, it dawned on her she was no longer in the museum.
She was in a room with beige walls, floor and ceiling. There was no door visible. There was light, but she couldn't identify the source. There was a faint humming sound on the edge of hearing, but that was all.
There didn't seem to be any immediate danger, so she powered down her hands.
"LET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!" she shouted.
There was no reply.
"FINE!" she said aloud.
She walked the perimeter of the room, looking closely at the walls as she did. After three circuits, she finally thought she had found a door.
"Last chance to let me out! If I have to do it the hard way, someone's gonna pay!" she said.
Nothing.
"Have it your way, then," she said, powering up her hands.
The green glow surrounded them again, and she took aim at the "door". With a shout, she raked her claws against the wall, tearing out chunks of metal.
It took some fifteen blows before she reached the room beyond, and another five before the hole was wide enough to get through. That had been some tough metal. She was sweating a bit from the effort.
She was in a room about the same size as the one she had escaped from, and was obviously a control room. A single control console faced 'her' room. Three chairs sat there, but were empty. On the opposite wall was a door.
She walked around to the controls side of the console, and was startled. Instead of the usual knobs, lights, and switches, there were circular, triangular, and square spaces of various colors. She could make no sense of it at all.
The door slid open as she approached, and she looked out cautiously. Nobody. To either side a corridor ran some fifty feet and abruptly branched away. On the opposite wall was another door. An odd glyph in gold adorned it. She decided to go that way.
The door moved aside, and Shego found herself in a luxurious room. The walls were dark red, and comfortable-looking pillows were scattered around. To one side was a low table, with a variety of what she thought must be foodstuffs on platters. But she didn't recognize anything on it.
High windows lined one wall. Looking out, she saw a barren landscape, with a building in the distance. None of it looked familiar. In fact, she was no longer sure she was even on Earth.
