going to have to put that on this until it's done?)
a/n: I
forgot to mention this in last chapter but Lone Starr is right. This is an
alternate universe then the one Black Dawn occurred in since Rockie Flagg is present, whereas
else in the multiverse he is dead. Black Dawn itself
is also an alternate universe from the main continuum because it was written
before Go Team Go and Shego's origins were very
different from the ones in that.
Drakken
was weary but flushed with victory. The crazy one armed man had rang the bells of war and the psychopath within Drakken had responded. The prospects of this conflict
excited him greatly, making such things like a need for sleep, food or even
liquids seem wholly unimportant until he designed something great. And he had
finally invented something great, this was a sure thing. Drakken
had a growing belief in himself as competent, the
increased blood flow from the lovely activities of HELL'S GYM making his brain
more and more simulated. The gray mass was on fire with ideas.
"Most people use ten
percent of their brain." He had mused that night. "I AM NOW ONE OF
THEM!"
Drakken's
newest invention was ready. It looked innocent enough, a small blue pill. But
he knew what it would. Within an hour the resistance would be invigorated! It
was going to be the terror of Shego's empire! Death
and destruction upon the evil doers WHO HAD RIPPED OFF AND BLATENTLY COPYCATTED
HIS DREAM! Drakken knew logically that others had
striven for global domination in the past, but they had all been pitiful
compared to his genius! (Well at least he thought so. There were large parts of
his brain in which he could do no wrong.) He was the deserving one! He and he
alone had the rightful claim to be emperor of humanity!
And soon his inventions would
place him on that lofty throne. Galileo, Darwin. Einstein and
now Drakken. If knowledge was power then what
was science but a magic enchantment? When he knew everything he would be as the
gods, Zeus, Thor and now Drakken again.
"Shego...YOU
GET NOTHING!" He growled aloud while thinking of this.
Drakken
wiped off some of the sweat from his face. He was tired and knew there was no
way he could make it in HELL'S GYM today or even try, but it was worth it
because he done good for the cause. Drakken walked
outside into the dawning light. He had watched a number of sunrises in his
insomniac existence. And this one was especially brilliant. Yes! This would
indeed be the day of the rebellion! Gods of war and victory be praised! Warm
gusts of wind began to whip off the desert, bringing relief from the night's cold. He let the high desert winds play with his
hair for awhile, then decided to go back inside.
"Kim
Possible?" Drakken asked aloud. "Are
you awake?"
The sleeping form on the couch
moved slightly as the sun began to filter into the room. Kim Possible gave a
slight whimper.
"Kim Possible...wake
up."
She mumbled something in her
sleep and then rolled over on one side. This was beginning to piss Drakken off. She was key to his
plan!
Drakken
sucked in oxygen, gradually filling his lungs until he reached maximum
capacity. He gritted his teeth for what he was about to do.
"WAKE THE HELL UP!!!"
Kim stirred and bitterly asked
"What?"
"Kim Possible,
today is your lucky day."
"Shut up. I want to go
back to sleep."
"Fine.
But take this pill first."
"Pill?"
"Take the pill Kim
Possible, then you can sleep all day."
"Why?"
"Just do it!"
"That's not a very good
reason."
"Look if I wanted to kill
you I could have done it a whole bunch of times earlier."
"Fine.
Whatever, I just want to go back to sleep."
Kim Possible chewed the tablet
and went back to sleep on the couch. Yes! Drakken
knew now that it was working! All he had to do was wait now. He walked into the
room Bonnie was in and decided he would watch her sleep, to brood over her as
she lay unconscious before him. To contemplate this potential
rival of his as she snored helpless before his blue evil power. He could
kill her right then and there quite easily, but there would be no pride to be
gained by such a thing. No Doctor Drakken
simply didn't function in such a cheap and trivializing manner. Leave
that to Shego, a villain who had no respect for the
ancient traditions of villainy. Shego would just cut
one's throat. Where was the power and the glory in
that? There were a number of times when he merely could have stuck a gun into
Kim Possible's temple and blown her brains out the
side of her head, who so what?
Drakken
knew that the true villain was a master of aesthetics, an artist whose medium
of sculpture was the terror of the non believers. That was why one employed the
traps, the death mazes, the henchmen who despite fearsome appearances didn't
know their asses from their elbows. This was art! And what was art but the very
stuff of creation? Drakken felt badly that these new
villains were violating the art form so badly and not just violating it but
molesting it. When Shego had the heroic incarnation
of Drakken on his back did she give him a trap to
escape from? Did she rant? No. She simply raised back her slashing talons to
cut out his throat and would have if he had not prevented it.
Yes indeed, this was the death
of the hero-hero rule code. Shego should have put him
in an impossible situation for him to die and then left in order to give him a
chance to do something heroic. But she had simply tried to gore out his throat
like Sweeny Todd. This was no less then committing dry anal rape upon the rules
of engagement. The rules were what separated a true villain from a mere
murdering terrorist. Drakken found it sad to know
that other then him and Senior Senior
Senior there were no real villains left.
That last thought jarred Drakken's mind. Was he still in fact a villain? Even with
all of his heroics fighting the forces of evil lately? That should have at
least in his mind established him as a hero, he had launched his stupid but
incredibly daring raid on Shego's main base and he
had destroyed a number of her outposts and faced off against giant robots. He
was in that freak Herman's resistance group, he was hanging out with the beefy
anarchists in HELL'S GYM...well maybe the last one wasn't a good example.
Under all of the things he had
done, was he still a villain at heart? Was he just
doing all this so that Shego could be removed and he
could step in and take over in her place? Was it possible for someone who had
committed so many atrocities of his own to be really changed? He had earlier in
this wicked desert considered himself to have been reborn in the light, but had
that all been a lie that even he had not know he had been committing at the
moment of supposed re-birth?
Drakken
shuddered.
But at least he had
distractions from his brain. Drakken was often
grateful for an external reality, without it his thought tumor would surely end
his life. And right here reality was liberating him from his internal despair.
Bonnie's
chainsaw snoring caused him to forget the thoughts that had just assailed him.
Jesus Christ, that girl was loud! It was funny that someone so elegant in
appearance could put forth such crude and harsh snoring.
The snoring though almost tempted
Drakken to forget his evil code of honor and just put
a gun in that girl's mouth. Drakken hated this Bonnie
girl and the noise was just one more reason to do so. She would pay for messing
around with his Kimmy! Drakken
wasn't exactly sure how he knew, but he did. Paranoia had often served him
well. And his sense of it was rarely wrong. Maybe he was secretly some kind of psychic, that would explain why so many of his paranoid
hunches were correct. Or maybe he was just so irritating that people simply couldn't
resist hating him. Yeah the second hypothesis had to have been it. Drakken grimly mused that the less exciting idea was often
the true one.
He grew tired of watching
Bonnie sleep and snore, so he walked out of that room. Then got what he knew
he'd need for this big day, some very large blades. He knew where he was going
with this. It all made sense, at least to him.
Drakken
unleashed his well groomed evil laugh. Hero or villain, that
would be something about him that would never change.
Kim Possible was jolted out of
the deadness of sleep by a horrible revelation.
Someone was cutting her!
Her green eyes grew wide. What
in the living breathing hell was going on! She saw Drakken
doing something at the base of her legs.
"DRAKKEN!"
She yelled.
"What? I'm cutting you
free here." Drakken said operating the whirling
saw.
"Your...oh..."
Drakken
was cutting the plaster cast off of her left leg. It was almost off.
"Your
ready to walk again." Drakken said. "That
pill was a healing experiment of mine. Your bones have been mended."
"Drakken!
Its only been a month and a half. My legs can't have
healed that fast! You stop doing that!"
"I tell you your fine!"
"Drakken!" Kim growled
at him with a vicious snap in her voice. Drakken knew
that she was pissed from the way that she was speaking firstly, but even more
so by the fact that she had gone back to calling him Drakken
instead of Drew. It was like how his mother would invoke his horrid middle name
Cecil when angry at him over something.
"KIM! You will be thanking
me!"
"The bone has to remain in
place you idiot! Or my leg won't heal right!" Kim yelled lucidly.
"BONNIE! HELP!"
Drakken
had sawed off the cast on her left leg and was now doing her right. "Calm down you crazy girl!" He grunted at her.
"Your gonna be thanking
me in a few minutes."
"LET ME GO YOU MEATHEADED
FREAK!" She growled at him as Drakken used one
of his thickened arms to hold her back.
"There, finished." He
said taking off the other cast and casting it aside.
"YOUR FUCKING INSANE!"
"Oh
yeah. Then do something about it." Drakken
said as he stepped back. "But sometime before that you might want to
consider waxing your legs. They haven't seen the light of day in like a zillion
years."
Kim glanced down and saw that
he was correct, her legs had gotten pretty gross in
the time that they had been covered in plaster. Now she felt insulted on top of
all this. "FUCKER! YOU DID TAKE ME HERE TO
TORTURE ME!"
Kim leapt to her feet and came
at Drakken rabidly. He grabbed her and threw her
down, the teen hero landing squarely on her ass before she realized all of what
had just happened.
She had not just walked, but
run! Kim Possible stood up and just reveled in the feeling of standing on her
feet again, with no help from anyone. She felt disorientated but amazed.
"Oh my God..." She
gasped breathlessly, putting one foot in front of another as if she was
balancing on a tight rope rather then just walking on Drakken's
living room floor. "Dark...Drew..."
"See? I'm not a total
idiot now am I?"
"No. Your
not an idiot, much less a close one."
"What am I now?"
"A
genius."
"That's right. I am."
Drakken nodded with self affirmation. "What kind
of genius am I Kimmy?"
"An evil
one?"
"Well that's not was I
looking for, but it'll do."
"Oh and what might that
have been?"
"An
immortal genius."
"Okay you can be that too,
just so long as you promise that this is real. And I'm really standing and
walking and off the couch."
"It is. Kim Possible, you
have been resurrected from the dead."
Kim collapsed into Drakken's arms. "Oh thank you."
Bonnie Rockwaller
came in, having heard some rather vicious yelling going on. She hated being
awoken by things, or just woke up at all. Waking from sleep was an anger
inducing thing. But nearly as hate building as what she saw when she came in to
see what was happening.
Kim Possible was hugging Drakken and not in any I consider you a friend way. Kim's
head was limp on Drakken's shoulders and her eyes
were closed. She looked completely blissed out, lost
in space and traveling through time as she reclined on the bulked up blue man.
It was then that Bonnie finally
seemed to notice that Kim was standing up, which probably explained why she was
reacting so favorably. While it was amazing that Kim had someone healed up like
that it didn't overcome the fact that Kim was now glomping
on Drakken.
Bonnie's
eyes narrowed in anger. One of her dominant traits was the green eyes monster
of envy and this was clearly a factor now. She watched as Kim finally stopped
her glomping and walked out of the room to go
outside.
"Hi Drakken." Bonnie smiled viciously.
"Feeling well today?"
"Why
hello Bon Bon." Drakken
laughed lowly. "I am feeling well today indeed thank you."
"Oh your
welcome." Bonnie smirked balefully. "I unfortunately cannot say the
same about myself. I am not feeling so wonderful and lovely on this day."
"Oh? And why is that
friend?"
"Well I am in love
friend."
Drakken
knew as well as Bonnie what they were talking about, but they were more
interested in seething in rage at each other. "Oh? With
who? What's he like?"
"Actually it is a
she."
"Oh? How
progressive of you."
"And you have never
felt any urges towards another man?"
"None
that I have acted upon."
"Well that's too
bad. Anyways we have a mutual problem. As I am sure you know well, the
delicious red haired problem that is Kim Possible."
"Yes. That is the
issue."
"So what shall we decide
to do about it?" Bonnie asked with a toss of her mane of hair and the re
positioning of both hands on her hips.
Drakken
laughed little. "Lets shake hands and resolve for
a brutal but clean fight."
"Okay Drakkie.
I can agree on that."
Bonnie smiled with grossly fake
innocence and extended her hand. One of Drakken's
increasingly huge paws reached out and grabbed it. Bonnie's
light blue eyes stared into Drakken's black pupils as
they engaged in a long handshake, one in which both were squeezing down as hard
as they could, though neither said anything about it. The declaration of
warfare was now inked.
The handshake ended when Kim
Possible came back in, oblivious to what was going on. Bonnie saw her first and
moved in.
"Kimmy!
Your not hurt anymore!"
"Bonnie! Couldn't be better." She gushed.
"We have to go back to
Middleton and show the people there that your okay.
It'll help the resistance a lot."
"The
resistance?"
"Yes, I went and
saw them awhile ago. We had some fun together."
"Whose
in the resistance? Anyone we know?"
"Brick Flagg
is the war leader. And his brother Rockie is in it
too."
"Brick Flagg?!" Kim spat out with disbelief. "The
quarterback with the frozen yogurt level IQ? Who calls everybody dude? And has
trouble spelling his own name?"
"He's good at hitting
things and knocking holes in walls and yelling at peoples, so kinda. But he's just the emotional leader,
Rockie is the one who comes up with their ideas and
inventions."
"Okay. But if Brick tries
to flirt with me again I'm leaving."
"Fair
enough."
Bonnie looked over at Drakken from one corner of her eye and smirked devilishly.
"Bon Bon
1. Blue Boy 0." The snotty brunette whispered in
his direction. Drakken could read lips and rang his
hands in frustration.
They landed once again in an
alleyway on the outskirts of Middleton in order to escape detection. Shego now had a number of electronic orb things flying
around the skies of the area and stealth was of the essence. Kim was still
joyous at being re-abled, so much that she didn't
notice Drakken and Bonnie staring each other on and
off during the flight.
Drakken
set both of them down and then turned off the flying engines for his war Armour.
"Come on." Bonnie
said. "I remember where this thing is."
"It might have moved since
then." Drakken said.
"Hey, at least I know
something about these people."
"What makes you so
special? There's a rebel group back in Hell."
"Hell is just some redneck
town in New Mexico. Those people
are of no consequence."
"This is just some redneck
town in Utah."
"Whatever
Drakken."
Kim interrupted. "Come on,
we didn't come all this way for you two to argue over stupid things. If we're
going to get rid of Shego then we'll need help from
whoever is around."
"Oh of
course Kim." Bonnie smiled.
"Sorry." Drakken added quickly.
They began to walk towards the
abandoned high school, Kim walking out a good distance in front of them in her
seemingly limitless exuberance. Drakken half expected
her to start skipping and singing "zippity do da zippity day" at any
minute. But he didn't find this too annoying, before
his muse had given him the inspiration it could have been possible she never
would have had use of her legs again. Drakken no idea
of the problems of the crippled, so he decided she should be allowed to enjoy
herself.
Bonnie on the other hand was a
little worried about Kim straying out so far in front of her and Drakken, but she couldn't protest because she was so busy
staring at Kim's ass from behind. Drakken was too, but
not as visibly as he feared looking like a dirty old man.
They came up on the blasted out
ruins of Middleton high school. No one seemed to be stirring, nothing even
moving except a tattered American flag on the pole which none of the occupation
forces had ripped down just yet. Kim Possible was a good conservative girl and
looked on these things with a horror. Yes they had destroyed the school and
desecrated the flag. Drakken watched the damaged
stars and stripes flutter in the tired breeze, a decaying anachronism left over
from a lost civilization.
"Come on, its over here." Bonnie said leading them inside. They
passed through the gym where a few guards were posted (they recognized Bonnie
from before) and then went into the basement where a number of rebels huddled
in the dark.
"Rebels, anarchists,
outlaws, scum of the Earth doing this just to be violent..." Bonnie
smiled. "I present to you, the reason we are going to win this war right
here."
Kim knew why she had been brought
here all of a sudden.
"KIM
POSSIBLE!" Bonnie stated in her cheering voice. "SHE CAN DO
ANYTHING! SHEGOS GOING DOWN! YAY!"
The rebels gasped at the
world's greatest world brought seemingly back to life. Kim Possible had been
largely believed dead at this point, though a few people held onto the myth of
her and thought firmly that she could not be killed.
Kim looked out at these strange
people with a kind of fear. Before she knew it she was hugged by Rockie Flagg and several others
that she not recognized.
"KIM
POSSIBLE!" Rockie yelled as he embraced
her into his massive bulk. "OUR SAVIOUR!"
"Yeah!"
Brick exclaimed stupidly as he ran up to hug her himself. "SHE CAN DO
ANYTHING!"
"YOUR GONNA LEAD US TO THE
PROMISED LAND KIM POSSIBLE!" Another wide eyed guy told her.
"OUR
HERO!" A crazy girl added. "SHE CAN DO ANYTHING!"
A small creature jumped onto
her shoulder. "Boo-yah!" He stated. Kim of
course quickly realized that it was Rufus, who she figured had been trampled in
the huge melee that Ron had died in. "Kimmy!"
"Evil is so over." A
dark haired girl laughed.
"Death
to the oppressor!" A big weird guy in an iron maiden shirt
hollered. "DAMN THE MA...THE WOMAN!"
Kim felt the blood begin to
drain from her feet as so many people with such high hopes rushed to embrace
her. She felt as if she'd been hugged more in that room then in her entire
previous existence. She flashed back to her past, she was a hero. A superhero who could seemingly defy the universe itself to get the
top of the mountain.
And she was smacked in the face
by the knowledge that she wasn't any of that anymore. She was finished. When
she had been told by her parents that her crime fighting was over she was
secretly relieved.
"Yes! Hi
everybody!" Kim smiled nervously. "Who-ho we can do it!"
They cheered uproariously at
those scant words from their superwoman.
"Shego
is so over!" Kim declared before walking back to Drakken.
Who was she kidding? Oh right,
all of them. She could inspire them now, but this was the act of penning a
check for which their was no money to back. The death
had put out her inner torch. There was not a single competitive bone left in her
body and soon these poor bastards would find that out the ugly way.
