Fifteen minutes later, Shego awoke with a raging headache. As soon as she returned to consiousness, her right hand flew to her forehead, where the stranger from the shadows had acessed her thoughts and memories. Of course, the villain didn't know her past had been invaded, all memories of the stranger had been automatically wiped blank. She just felt like she'd been hit by a delivery truck. She'd been trained to ignore physical pain, pain was something that could be stored up until after the battle and/or the escape. But this was an intense wracking ache that seemed to echo in her head after each painful new blow. Every heartbeat made the jagged, barely-beginning-to-heal wounds along her leg throb. However, being too proud to admit she was in pain, even to herself, the villainess struggled to her feet anyway and went to report her findings.
Drakken, hidden in the middle of the forest where the four stranded villains and heroes had sheltered during the previous stormy night, watched with extreme boredom as 5 red ants began to carry the rotting carcass of a dead beetle back to the colony's anthole. As he observed with interest the strength of the small insects, the mad scientist failed to notice the movement in the surrounding trees. When it stepped into the small clearing, he yelped and scrambled back a few paces before realizing it was only his assistant.
"Well?" Drakken demanded, annoyed at having had to wait for news. "What happened to Kim Possible and the buffoon?"
"Don't think they got it," said Shego shortly. Her breathes came rapidly, and were ragged with pain. "They came up without the thing and got out."
Against his better judgement, the villain persisted. "Where'd they go?"
"How should I know?" his assistant snarrled. Suddenly a twig snapped in the surrounding trees, and both villains spun in alarm, trying to locate the source of the sound. Both pair of eyes landed on Ron and Kim, who were listening behind three trees that were extremely close together. Kim gave her friend a chastising look, and he grinned sheepishly.
Drakken scowled. "Those two again? I thought we got rid of them!"
As whips of green plasma flew out of her hands, Shego told him harshly, "That'd be kinda hard, don't you think, considering we're on an island SURROUNDED BY HUNDREDS OF MILES OF WATER."
Her employer sulked as she whirled back to face the teen hero, "You don't have to be so touchy about it."
Kim instinctively squared off for battle, but then relaxed as she remembered that wasn't part of the plan she and Ron had worked out. Well, mostly that she had worked out. The auburn-haired crime fighter held up her hands in the universal "I'm-not-carrying-a-big-ol'-gun-so-I-don't-want-to-fight" gesture.
Unfortunately, Shego either did not see her sign in time or simply did not care, for she had already bounded forward and smashed Kim in the stomach with a flying kick, hurling her backwards so she crashed into a tree and slid limply to the ground. Kim blew several strands of hair out of her face and muttered, "So that's the way it's going to be." before leaping up to face her opponent.
It was all too easy a fight for our teenage hero. As Kim warded off a heavy rain of blows from the older girl, Shego suddenly staggered for no apparent reason that Kim could discern, since no one else had yet come in contact with the mysterious 5th island inhabitant. She only halted for a couple seconds, but that was more then enough time to allow Kim to get in a hard hit across her temples. The villain dropped to the ground like a rock, appearing to be soundly unconsious.
Kim and Ron turned their gaze to Drakken, who glowered at them from under the shadow of a particularly leafy tree. Kim shook her head and explained, "Look, we're not here to fight. I think I've got a plan."
The mad scientist narrowed his eyes suspicously. "What did you have in mind?"
20 minutes later...
"I don't know, Dr D., this whole plan has a bad aura." Shego, now fully awake, said uncertainly to Drakken as they followed Kim and Ron through the island forest.
"Well tell me when you think of a better one , it's not like there's anything to lose." he replied in a grumpy voice, still sore at the fact he had to actually cooperate with his enemy. He'd held a strict non-cooperation policy since kindergarten, for even then he had dreamed of being a super villain and smashing all the kids who'd stolen his cookies at Snack Time. The blue-skinned villain stepped up the pace to keep up with Kim and Ron.
Before catching up to the other three, she growled sulkily, "Yeah, but your part in the plan is sitting on your butt and not getting in the way."
Author's Note: I is a little devil for making y'all wait so long. Don't you just love it when I cut the chapter off just when the exciting stuff is going to happen? If you want to find out what the plan is and what goes wrong with the plan, for as Murphy's Law states, "What can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the worst possible time.", keep looking for Chapter 8.

Drakken: Get me a fork.
Shego (mind-controlled): Yes Dr. Drakken!
Drakken: Get me a dodo bird.
Shego (mind-controlled): Yes Dr. Drakken!
Drakken: Psyche! Dodo birds are extinct! (laughs) Oh, I'm being silly.
