A/N: Well here's Ch. 5 for anyone who's still reading. No one reviewed the last two chaps :-( Were they really bad or something? This chap has more action and a little twist so hopefully it's more exciting. I know that this isn't how Kim and Ron first met Drakken, according to the tick episode, but that's why this is an alternate version. Tell me what you think!
"Nice place." Kim remarked sarcastically, surveying the surroundings. The barren room appeared to be an old underground bunker made of stone blocks. Thick, green mold from years of darkness and moisture made the walls slick to the touch. The air smelled ancient and musty.
"Hmmm…creepy." Rufus whined.
"Yeah, talk about your fixer upper." Ron said. "So what now?"
Suddenly, they heard muffled voices coming from the adjoining room. "Shhhh!" Kim said, placing her finger to her lips. She grabbed Ron's hand and led him over to the corner next to the open doorway. They pressed their backs against the wall to conceal themselves and listened intently.
"You don't have faith in me, Shego?" a man's voice asked.
"To be honest, Drakken, not really. Every time you try to take over the world you always manage to screw it up." A woman's voice replied.
"You'll see Shego. When I rule the world, we'll see whose laughing then!"
"Whatever. So what's your brilliant plan this time? You have the mind control device, who are you going to use it on first?"
"Hmmmm, I haven't actually got that far yet. I need time to think. If you would leave me alone I would have a plan by now" Drakken said
"Oh, that's good. Blame it on me. It's always my fault!"
"I can't concentrate with you always ridiculing me!" Drakken said huffily.
"Fine! If you need me I'll be giving myself a manicure, not that you will because your just soooo brilliant. "
The raven-haired woman stepped through the doorway beside Kim and Ron, not yet aware of their presence. She was clad in a tight fitting green and black jumpsuit with matching shoes and gloves.
"Stop right there!" Kim shouted, trying to sound tough.
The woman spun around in surprise and looked the teens straight in the eye.
"Oh man, why did you have to go and do that KP?" Ron said nervously.
"Who the hell are you?" the woman asked icily.
"The name's Kim Possible. I was sent by Global Justice to put an end to your evil plans Shego!"
Shego could barley speak between fits of uncontrollable laughter. "You mean…Global Justice…sent a couple of teenagers…to stop us! You've got to be kidding! ….Who's he…your little boyfriend?"
"He's Ron Stoppable, my partner." Kim said flatly, obviously not amused.
"What's going on out there, Shego? I told you to keep it down so I could THINK!" Drakken yelled from the adjacent room.
"Come here Drakken, you're not going to believe this!" Shego called.
Drakken appeared in the doorway and glared at Kim and Ron. "Well, what have we got here?"
"They said they're from Global justice, but I think they really just got lost on their way to the prom!" Shego started to laugh hysterically again.
"Joke's over Shego. You're going down!" Kim shouted and lunged at the raven-haired woman. She jumped from the ground and planted a hard kick in Shego's stomach.
Taken off guard, Shego stumbled backward and hit the ground. "Ugh!" she muttered, "You'll pay for that, you little brat!" Her hands became clouded in a neon green glow s she pulled herself from the floor.
"Get rid of her Shego!" Drakken growled.
"Watch out Kim! That's the stuff Wade warned us about!" Ron yelled from his spot by the wall.
Ron's voice attracted Drakken's attention, which was previously diverted by Kim and Shego. "I'll deal with you, boy!"
"Uh oh." Rufus squeaked from Ron's pocket. He quickly closed the flap and fastened himself in.
Drakken reached out and tried to grab Ron's arm, but Ron was too quick. He jumped away from the man, then kicked him hard in the kneecap.
"Owwww!" Drakken howled in agony. He began to jump around on one foot, holding his injured knee.
"Ron, find the mind control device! Hurry!" Kim called as she swiftly dodged an attack from Shego.
"What's it look like?" Ron asked.
"I don't know, just go look!" She yelled. Shego's deadly, glowing hands made contact with Kim's chest causing her to reel backwards and stumble to the floor. A fiery pain radiated through her body from the wound. Despite her anguish, Kim abruptly sprung back to her feet just in time to avoid another blow. She flipped through the air, kicking Shego in the shoulder mid-way through the tumble.
While Drakken was preoccupied with his sore knee, Ron took the opportunity to bolt past him and into the adjoining room. The main part of the lair seemed to be a workshop of sorts, with strange machines and partially assembled robots strewn across the floor and tables. Ron surveyed the surroundings, trying to figure out which contraption was the stolen mind control device. His eyes ultimately fell upon a futuristic-looking gun that was lying atop a pile of papers on Drakken's desk.
"That must be it!" he exclaimed.
Just as Ron's fingers wrapped around the cold steel, Drakken's voice boomed through the room. "Unhand that you fool!"
Ron spun around, aimed the gun at the blue-skinned villain and shakily tightened his finger on the trigger. The gun emitted a red laser beam, which cracked the wall just inches from Drakken's body.
"Ha! You missed!" Drakken shouted exuberantly.
Unsure of what to do next, Ron clutched the gun to his chest and dashed towards the doorway.
"You're not going anywhere, boy!" Drakken quickly stepped in front of the opening to block his path.
With determination and fire in his eyes, Ron continued to run, planning to tackle the man if he refused to move. Just as Ron approached, Drakken skirted to the side and thrust his foot out. Unable to react in time, Ron stumbled over the obstacle, failed to regain his balance, and fell face-first to the hard concrete. The gun skidded across the floor, out of his reach.
"Ron! Are you okay?" Kim took her attention away from Shego for a brief second.
"Just great, KP." Ron muttered, shaking his head in an effort to stop the imaginary multicolored lights from flashing in front of his eyes.
"You buffoon! That's not even what you're looking for!" Drakken shouted and sauntered across the room to retrieve the laser gun. He grabbed it up and immediately took aim on Ron, who hadn't yet picked himself up from the floor.
"On second thought, I'll deal with you later. I'm taking care of the real threat first." Drakken snarled.
Ron's heart nearly burst out of his chest in panic when he saw the gun barrel being turned away from him and moved in Kim's direction.
"Out of the way, Shego!" Drakken ordered.
"But I…" Shego looked up from the fight to see Drakken take aim on her auburn-haired foe. "Ahhh…I see..." She smiled, and then flipped backwards to distance herself from the line of fire.
"What's wrong, had enough?" Kim asked, unaware of the danger.
"No, but he has!" Shego smirked and pointed a gloved finger at her ally.
Kim whirled around to face Drakken, eyes widening when she realized her predicament.
"Kim! Watch out!" Ron shouted. Without giving it a second thought, he scrambled to his feet at lightening speed and threw himself in front of his best friend just as Drakken's finger squeezed the trigger.
Time seemed to slow to a craw during Ron's spit-second dash from his spot on the floor to Kim. He threw his hands up to shield her, sacrificing himself to the laser. The beam made contact with his body, knocking him off his feet. He crumpled to the floor in agony from the excruciating burning sensation that consumed his body. Just before he blacked out, he heard Kim scream "ROOOOOOOONNNNN! NOOOOOOOOOO!"
