~Chapter 4~
Ron felt weird...
It was a different kind of weirdness. Not the kind of 'weird' which you feel if you were standing on soda, but weird weird. He felt it at the pit of his stomach, every time... Well, EVERY time. It started ever since he united with Shego. 'Maybe it's because I'm a villain now and all..' He thought as he lay in his sleeping bag, staring up at the high ceiling.
A few feet away from him slept Shego. The two ironically shared a room because it was the only room in the abandoned gym, otherwise known as their lair, which had a functioning air conditioner. Now, how the air conditioner was able to work, they both had no clue, but they didn't care.
Ron surveyed his surroundings. Everything was dark except for the windows, which was their only source of light every night. The moon's rays shone through the window panes, and on the floor. Ron rolled to his side, and witnessed Shego sleeping near him in her own, dark green sleeping bag, back turned. All he could see was her raven-colored hair.
On Ron's other side stood the laser they had stolen from the Middleton College Lab the other night. 'Strange. Kim should've burst through the doors hours ago..' He said to himself, thoughts drifting to his ex-best friend. He tried to imagine what she was doing at the moment. Was she looking for him? Was she worried? Was she looking for the laser? What would she say when... IF she finds out that he has become a villain? Former sidekick to world-saving hero or not, Ron knew he would go to jail when.. IF he was caught.. Unless the judge felt sorry for him or something. He knew he was now on the run.
Getting tired of thinking, Ron finally closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, ignoring the soft snores of Rufus, who lay on his owner's chest, curled up in a ball of pink, fur-less skin.
~
"Good morning, Mrs. Stoppable. I'm here to check out Ron's room..." Kimberly Anne Possible greeted as the door of the Stoppable residence opened to reveal Ron's mom. "Right.. Come in, please..." She said, forcing a smile on her tearful face. She led Kim upstairs and into Ron's quarters.
"We didn't touch anything so you'll be able to hopefully, find a clue or anything," Mrs. Stoppable notified the auburn-haired crime-fighter. "Good job, Mrs. Stoppable. Ever think of becoming a detective?" Kim joked, trying to lighten up the mood. The older woman gave a weak chuckle and left.
Almost immediately, Kim whipped out her Kimmunicator. "Wade, scan for footprints and hand prints in this room, please." She looked at the small screen, seeing her computer guru furiously type on his keyboard.
"Got some! The thief didn't even -try- to cover up his tracks. It will take a while though to decode them.."
"No big. Meanwhile, I'll take a look around.."
Kim placed the gadget back in her pant pocket, and did what she was supposed to. The room was in shambles; closet doors were open, and so were the drawers. Clothes and other belongings of Ron lay on the floor, making it almost impossible for Kim to walk without touching anything besides it.
"Most of his clothes are gone... His scooter's missing too, and all of Rufus' stuff, except for the naked mole-rat tunnels... His sleeping bag was taken as well..." Kim observed. Soon, her eyes landed on the window - it was wide open. The teen quickly strode over to it, and poked her head out, then looked down at the ground. She noticed something: a person's shape could be seen, embedded on the grass; as if someone fell out the window and landed face-first on the ground. A shape of a large, round object could also be seen, beside the person's head. "It must be the container which the thief put all of Ron's belongings in," Kim said.
Swiftly, she jumped out of the window and landed a few feet away from the outlines of the thief, unscratched. Going back into an upright position, she looked around. That was when she noticed... four sets of footprints: two leading to the house, and two leading away. She followed the last two ones and came to a large bush. The footprints stopped there, since the street was right beside the shrub.
"Did you find anything?" Mrs. Stoppable's motherly, yet quiet voice spoke as the woman herself approached Kim.
"I figured it out Mrs. Stoppable. There wasn't just one thief; there were actually two of them. They both walked up to your house. One of them waited, as the other proceeded to climb up to the window, and take some of your son's stuff. The thief probably put them in a large back, and climbed back out the window, but he or she clumsily fell face-first onto the ground, the bag landing beside him. Then, the two ran over to the bushes, and escaped."
"No wonder.. My husband and I heard a thump outside, and went to look at it... But there was no one there.." Mrs. Stoppable told Kim.
"Mm hmm.. Don't worry, ma'am. The thieves didn't even -bother- to cover up their tracks. They left a lot of footprints and handprints. Wade will have the thieves uncovered at most, by the end of today. Meanwhile, I've gotta jet; there was also a theft in the Middleton College Lab. A laser was stolen," Kim explained.
"Thank heavens... Well, good luck, Kim. Thanks for all your help. I hope Ronnie turns up soon.."
"You're not alone, ma'am. We both feel that way," Kim said, smiling and putting a comforting hand on Ron's mom's shoulder. She felt a pang of guilt earlier, as Mrs. Stoppable spoke of her son, knowing it was most probably her fault that Ron disappeared.
"Thank you... God bless you, Kim.."
If only Kim knew how correct she was... ~
"A destructive laser? What can it do?" Kim asked scientist Doctor Marlin.
"It is able to evaporate anything it fires at," The doctor replied. "I just finished building it a week ago.."
"This automatically spells out Shego and Drakken," Kim said, rolling her eyes. True enough, there were claw marks on the tables. But strangely, there were bite marks on what used to be a window. It's as if someone had brought a shark and made it bite out the whole window. Only a hole in the wall remained.
"I've picked up Drakken's location, Kim. He's in his usual lair: the haunted island," Wade said glumly.
"Ugh. I'm on it, Wade."
~
"Stop right there!!!" Kim yelled as she burst through the metal doors of Drakken's lair.
"GA-AH, I'm not doing anything!" Drakken said from the corner, shielding something from view. Kim approached him suspiciously.
"Then how do you know I'm accusing you of something?"
Drakken blinked for a moment, and soon looked at the ground, defeated. "Alright, alright! But don't make fun of me! A lot of boys do it!" He stepped to the side, revealing what he was hiding: a sewing machine.
"You SEW?!" Kim exclaimed incredulously.
"It's a hobby!" Drakken defended.
"Wait.. Then what's your evil plot?"
"Evil plot? Goodness, no! I don't have an evil plot at the moment," Drakken confessed with utmost honesty.
"Oh, yeah? You and Shego stole a destructive laser from the Middleton College Lab!" Kim looked around, eyes narrowed. "By the way.. Where.. Is Shego?"
"Shego? She's gone, disappeared.. Away... Out of my life.."
"What?"
"I fired her, okay?! I realized that if she can't defeat you then she's useless! But... I want her back.." Drakken whined angrily.
"O...kay... So you really don't have an evil plot?"
"Nothing. Nada. Zip."
Kim sighed exasperatedly.
"Whatever. I'm outta here... This is -way- beyond weird."
And with that, Kim left.
~
"Kim's onto us.. I can feel it," Ron said, face darkening.
"Quit whining. She probably thinks it's Drakken who stole the laser or something," Shego snapped, rolling her eyes as she did so. She concentrated n putting on her outfit. She slipped her hands into her green and black gloves, admiring them with soft, slightly cheerful eyes.
"I'm -so- not whining. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to capture Doctor Freeman, duh. How else will we be able to use the laser? Now get-" Shego stole a glance at her partner, only to see him slipping on his right glove, ready to go. Rufus, in his usual cape and eye mask, stood on his shoulder.
"..Dressed..."
Ron climbed onto his scooter, and tightened his grip on the handle bars. Shego took her place behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist. It was then that Ron jumped, causing Shego to quickly withdraw her hands, surprised.
"What's -your- problem?!" She demanded, staring at him with raised eyebrows.
"N-nothing... Just felt a sneeze coming on, heh heh," Ron lied. He had actually felt the weird feeling at the pit of his stomach again - it was stronger this time. Shego proceeded to embrace his waist this time, and Ron felt his insides knot themselves... He ignored the feeling and started up the scooter.
~
"Okay, kid. This is just another test. Get in and grab Doctor Freeman. You can taunt him a little, but other than that, do nothing else; -think- of nothing else. Just capture him," Shego lectured as the two crept into the bushes outside Doctor Freeman's house. Shego was ahead of Ron. Soon, she stopped. "This is it.."
She lit up her claws and slashed off the window. "Go!" She hissed, pushing Ron through it, and following swiftly after.
"AH!" Doctor Freeman cried out, backing into the kitchen sink. He was in the middle of reading the paper. "It's YOU!"
"..."
"Ahem!" Shego coughed, nudging Ron.
"Oh! Oh, right! Well, good evening, Doctor Freeman!" Ron began, with the evil-est tone he could muster. Then he paused, looking around. "Where are your talking appliances?" He suddenly asked. Shego slapped her forehead in frustration.
"Oh, I sent them on vacation to the Bahamas. They looked like they needed a break," The doctor replied good-naturedly.
"AHEM!"
"Oh, right... Sorry... We've come to take you, Doctor Freeman!" Ron announced, pointing his index finger at the one being spoken to.
"What?! But.. You're that... Sidekick guy! To Miss Possible! ... Where's Drakken? How come his assistant's here, and he isn't! And why are you here?"
"Ugh.."
"No time for talk, prof!" Ron snapped as he lunged at Doctor Freeman - accidentally pushing the captive out the window.
"Whoops..?"
"Aargh..." was heard outside, in the garden, where Doctor Freeman landed.
Shego groaned loudly in frustration.
~
"I don't understand! Why are you doing this...... It's Don, right?" Doctor Freeman asked as Ron and Shego pushed him into a cell.
"Shut up. And it's RON," The villain growled.
"Good answer," Shego commented.
"Uh-huh," Rufus added.
Ron slammed the doors of the cell shut, before he walked away with Shego.
"What now?" He asked.
"We'll wait for him to calm down, then use him."
"Right."
"I'll go outside for a sec. DON'T follow me," Shego said with a tone of finalization, as she stepped out of the gym's front doors. Ron and Rufus merely stared at her.
~
"SHE'S HERE!" Shego shrieked, an hour later, as she came running through the doors, and stopped to lock them. The olive-skinned woman proceeded to bolt all the windows shut.
"Who's here?" Ron asked, sitting on a chair, feet perched on a table in front of him. He had earphones on and was listening to music, while reading a magazine.
"... Kim Possible! Now quit being lazy and GET UP!" Shego yelled at Ron, as she zoomed over to him and grabbed his shirt collar, causing his earphones to fall out of his ears. Their faces were only inches apart. Shego soon let him go.
"Lights are going off. Distract her, and I'll go secure the laser AND Doctor Freeman."
"Distract her? How?"
"Fight her or something!"
"WHAT?!" Ron leapt up.
"Kid, you know that you were gonna have to fight her some time, and now's the right moment! No excuses!"
"I... I might mess up!" Ron said, feeling very insecure at the moment.
"Trust me, you won't." Shego said with one last wink at her partner, smiling. Then she swiftly strode out of the room, stopping for one last time to shut off all the lights. Soon, Ron was left in complete darkness.
"O..kay.." Ron said, getting ready for Kim's arrival. He straightened his outfit, and pulled his gloves nearer to his wrists. Lastly, he adjusted his headband, the ruby shining spectacularly as he did. It was the only visible thing in the room at that moment. "Better take cover, Rufus.. This might get nasty..." He told his loyal pet. The pink rodent nodded and squeaked furiously, before diving to the floor and climbing up to a ledge near the ceiling, away from harm. Ron's breathes slowed down as he patiently waited, heart thumping uncontrollably.
Finally...
The doors opened slowly as Kim Possible stepped into the gym warily. Her eyes darted from side to side, trying to make out any shaped in the dark. She had no idea what was going to hit her...
Carefully, she took a few more steps into the darkness, before finally deciding to bring out her flashlight. Her trembling hand reached into her tool belt, and felt around for the tool she needed. Soon, her fingers tightened around the flashlight. She was about to pull it out until...
"OOF!" Kim grunted in surprise, as something lunged at her and tackled her to the floor.
SLAM! The doors slammed shut, eliminating what was left of the light.
Kim struggled to get her attacker off, and succeeded. She kicked him in the side, causing him to fly off. Panting, Kim quickly got up, and ran to the direction she kicked her attacker in, all the while furiously trying to figure out who her opponent might be. She was sure, however, that it was a man
"YAH!" She yelled as she threw a punch, hoping it would come in contact with something. Unfortunately, that something grabbed her wrist and flipped it over, but Kim managed to land clean on her feet, and raised her leg for a kick. She managed to kick her opponent in the shoulder, but he, in turn punched her in the face. Kim felt a few drops of blood pour from her nostrils..
She angrily punched him in the mouth, and was sure she caused his lip to bleed. Then, she followed up with a series of slashes and punches to his face. He avoided all of them, however, even bending backwards and kicking Kim's leg, causing the crime-fighter to lose her balance and nearly hit the floor.
He kicked Kim again, this time in the shoulder, bruising it. Kim clutched her shoulder with one hand, and fought back with some more kicks. Unfortunately, they weren't coming in contact with anything. Kim struggled to see, and soon she learned that her opponent was no longer in sight...
It was then that she realized...
That he was above her..
"AGH!" Kim yelled as she jumped to the side, and landed on her hip, luckily avoiding her silent attacker's move. She got up in pain, but was soon sent sprawling again.. The attacker tackled her, and was able to pin her arms behind her back so she couldn't get up, nor fight back. The auburn-haired teen gasped as the boy raised his arm, ready for the final move..
But then...
He froze....
Kim saw this as her chance and quickly kneed him in the back, and kicked his stomach with her other foot. He was sent flying to the other side of the room. Jumping up, Kim ran to him and succeeded in another series of punches, slashes and kicks, disabling her opponent from fighting back...
Suddenly..
SNAP!
"OW!" Kim shrieked, as something bit her knuckle. She backed up in pain and surprise. Suddenly, what was coming towards her shocked her... A blaze of green fire got her in the chin as an uppercut, and Kim flew to the opposite direction.
Finally, the lights switched on.
"Ugh.." Kim groaned as she opened her eyes.
What she saw nearly made her die of shock..
It was Ron..
Lying on the floor... Injured.. Wearing red and black...
Shego... Kneeling beside him... With a.. worried.. Look?
Rufus was frantically jumping up and down on Ron's chest...
"W-wha-?"
"Are you okay?" Shego asked caringly. Ron coughed.
"I'm sorry.. I couldn't defeat her.."
"That's okay.. You put up a really good fight.. You'll do better next time.."
Shego helped Ron stand. She took his arm and placed it around his neck, putting her own arm around his waist to support his weight.
"W-What's going on here?!" Kim squeaked, not believing what was happening. The two finally took notice of her, and glared. Kim's eyes widened as Ron gave her a frosty look.
"Ron, what are you doing with Shego?! You're a crime-fighter! W-why?!"
The two partners looked at each other, before turning back to the confused superhero.
"Don't you get it yet, Kimmie?" Shego drawled, smirking sinisterly. "Drakken left -me-, you left -him-. So -we-, got together! -He-, is a villain now, see? We're partners-in-crime."
Kim opened and closed her mouth like a guppy.
"Ron, come home right now... Everyone's worried about you!"
This time it was Ron who spoke.
"Worried? Sha right! The same people who treated me like dirt? No way am I going home for that... besides.." Ron smirked, despite his current state. "This, is my new home."
"Ron... Stop being such a-!" Kim was about to say, but Ron cut her off.
"Baby? Well, -Kimmie-, let's see who's a baby when Shego and I take over the world!"
"Roooon," Kim said softly. It was almost as if she were begging.
"I've made up my mind.. I'm not going back." Ron looked at Kim coldly, before walking away with Shego, Rufus following closely behind. Kim didn't even try to stop them; she fell on her knees, and wept, hands covering her face.
"Ron..." She whispered hopelessly.

"Trust me, you won't." Shego said with one last wink at her partner, smiling. Then she swiftly strode out of the room, stopping for one last time to shut off all the lights. Soon, Ron was left in complete darkness.
"O..kay.." Ron said, getting ready for Kim's arrival. He straightened his outfit, and pulled his gloves nearer to his wrists. Lastly, he adjusted his headband, the ruby shining spectacularly as he did. It was the only visible thing in the room at that moment. "Better take cover, Rufus.. This might get nasty..." He told his loyal pet. The pink rodent nodded and squeaked furiously, before diving to the floor and climbing up to a ledge near the ceiling, away from harm. Ron's breathes slowed down as he patiently waited, heart thumping uncontrollably.
Finally...
The doors opened slowly as Kim Possible stepped into the gym warily. Her eyes darted from side to side, trying to make out any shaped in the dark. She had no idea what was going to hit her...
Carefully, she took a few more steps into the darkness, before finally deciding to bring out her flashlight. Her trembling hand reached into her tool belt, and felt around for the tool she needed. Soon, her fingers tightened around the flashlight. She was about to pull it out until...
"OOF!" Kim grunted in surprise, as something lunged at her and tackled her to the floor.
SLAM! The doors slammed shut, eliminating what was left of the light.
Kim struggled to get her attacker off, and succeeded. She kicked him in the side, causing him to fly off. Panting, Kim quickly got up, and ran to the direction she kicked her attacker in, all the while furiously trying to figure out who her opponent might be. She was sure, however, that it was a man
"YAH!" She yelled as she threw a punch, hoping it would come in contact with something. Unfortunately, that something grabbed her wrist and flipped it over, but Kim managed to land clean on her feet, and raised her leg for a kick. She managed to kick her opponent in the shoulder, but he, in turn punched her in the face. Kim felt a few drops of blood pour from her nostrils..
She angrily punched him in the mouth, and was sure she caused his lip to bleed. Then, she followed up with a series of slashes and punches to his face. He avoided all of them, however, even bending backwards and kicking Kim's leg, causing the crime-fighter to lose her balance and nearly hit the floor.
He kicked Kim again, this time in the shoulder, bruising it. Kim clutched her shoulder with one hand, and fought back with some more kicks. Unfortunately, they weren't coming in contact with anything. Kim struggled to see, and soon she learned that her opponent was no longer in sight...
It was then that she realized...
That he was above her..
"AGH!" Kim yelled as she jumped to the side, and landed on her hip, luckily avoiding her silent attacker's move. She got up in pain, but was soon sent sprawling again.. The attacker tackled her, and was able to pin her arms behind her back so she couldn't get up, nor fight back. The auburn-haired teen gasped as the boy raised his arm, ready for the final move..
But then...
He froze....
Kim saw this as her chance and quickly kneed him in the back, and kicked his stomach with her other foot. He was sent flying to the other side of the room. Jumping up, Kim ran to him and succeeded in another series of punches, slashes and kicks, disabling her opponent from fighting back...
Suddenly..
SNAP!
"OW!" Kim shrieked, as something bit her knuckle. She backed up in pain and surprise. Suddenly, what was coming towards her shocked her... A blaze of green fire got her in the chin as an uppercut, and Kim flew to the opposite direction.
Finally, the lights switched on.
"Ugh.." Kim groaned as she opened her eyes.
What she saw nearly made her die of shock..
It was Ron..
Lying on the floor... Injured.. Wearing red and black...
Shego... Kneeling beside him... With a.. worried.. Look?
Rufus was frantically jumping up and down on Ron's chest...
"W-wha-?"
"Are you okay?" Shego asked caringly. Ron coughed.
"I'm sorry.. I couldn't defeat her.."
"That's okay.. You put up a really good fight.. You'll do better next time.."
Shego helped Ron stand. She took his arm and placed it around his neck, putting her own arm around his waist to support his weight.
"W-What's going on here?!" Kim squeaked, not believing what was happening. The two finally took notice of her, and glared. Kim's eyes widened as Ron gave her a frosty look.
"Ron, what are you doing with Shego?! You're a crime-fighter! W-why?!"
The two partners looked at each other, before turning back to the confused superhero.
"Don't you get it yet, Kimmie?" Shego drawled, smirking sinisterly. "Drakken left -me-, you left -him-. So -we-, got together! -He-, is a villain now, see? We're partners-in-crime."
Kim opened and closed her mouth like a guppy.
"Ron, come home right now... Everyone's worried about you!"
This time it was Ron who spoke.
"Worried? Sha right! The same people who treated me like dirt? No way am I going home for that... besides.." Ron smirked, despite his current state. "This, is my new home."
"Ron... Stop being such a-!" Kim was about to say, but Ron cut her off.
"Baby? Well, -Kimmie-, let's see who's a baby when Shego and I take over the world!"
"Roooon," Kim said softly. It was almost as if she were begging.
"I've made up my mind.. I'm not going back." Ron looked at Kim coldly, before walking away with Shego, Rufus following closely behind. Kim didn't even try to stop them; she fell on her knees, and wept, hands covering her face.
"Ron..." She whispered hopelessly.
