CHAPTER 15

____________________________

Drakken reached into his pocket and pulled out the bottle of laser-repelling sunscreen. My only hope, he thought as he got ready to press the spray button.

"one," he whispered, "two... three!"

He sprayed the solution all over Shego, then himself, just as Professor Dementor set off the laser canons, making laser beams fly everywhere like they had done before, in his lair.

Except this time they weren't mind control beams. They were real lethal lasers.

Gulping hard, Drakken tried to dodge the lethal rays of light, but after about a minute, one hit him squarely in the ribs.

To his utter amazement, it bounced right off of him and hit a henchman in the head.

"Booyah!" Someone screamed from above. It was Ron.

Drakken was delighted to see him.

Kim jumped down from the ledge on the ceiling, and helped Drakken bounce off lasers at the henchmen, (She was wearing the sunscreen too.) while Ron and Rufus went to free Adrena-Lynn.

After just a few minutes, Adrena-Lynn, Ron and Rufus came over to where Kim and Drakken were finishing off the henchmen.

"Where's Dementor?" Asked Ron, looking around.

"He must have snuck off after everything got out of control." Replied Kim, still fighting. "He's not dumb. He knew he had lost."

Pretty soon all the henchmen were laying in a heap on the floor. "Way to go guys!" Kim said, relived that they had won, and everyone was alright.

Shego was starting stir. Kim freed her, then beckoned everyone else out of the room so Drakken and Shego could have some time alone.

They tiptoed outside the lair and sat down, their backs against the wall. Ron slid down next to Adrena-Lynn and looked up at her hopefully.

Adrena-Lynn rolled her eyes. "Uhhhh..." She groaned. Ron was so annoying!

*****

Meanwhile, back inside the lair, Shego had woken up, and Drakken was explaining to her what had happened.

Shego listened attentively, but keeping her distance all the same. After all, he had tried to mind control her, right?

"And," Drakken continued with his explanation, "When I tried to get you with the mind control laser, It wasn't really me. Someone was controlling me."

Shego gave Drakken a look that said, 'I don't believe you.

"Shego, please believe me!" Drakken begged desperately. He touched her face softly. "Please... I love you!"

"It WAS you, Drakken." Shego yelled in his face angrily. She shoved him in the stomach, sending him halfway across the room.

"It had to of been you. There was no one else there! Unless..."

Shego suddenly rushed up the stairs and onto the next floor, leaving Drakken holding his stomach in pain, and looking confused. "Where are you going?" He called out, trying to stop her. "Dementor could be up there!"

Shego ignored Drakken's yells and continued up flights of stairs until she spotted Professor Dementor. He was gathering up his belongings, ready to evacuate at any time in case the police came. Suddenly, he turned and saw Shego.

"Shego..." Professor Dementor spoke, his eyes narrow. He took a few steps toward her, and then pressed a button on a remote control he had in hand, making the door shut, and lock.
