Kim cleared her throat and attempted to assume her best authoritative super hero voice. "Ahem....uhhh...what's the sitch, Wade?"
"Kim! Your site's been getting numerous.....are you ok?" Wade gave her a confused look. "You look a little....red."
"Oh! Well I...." She couldn't help but glance at Ron over her shoulder.
Wade shook his head. "Never mind. There's no time to lose. As I was saying you've been getting numerous hits on your website concerning a giant robot lose in Middletown!"
"Giant robot?" Kim sighed. "Evil villains are getting soooo predictable. So who's behind this one?"
"It seems that Dr. Drakken has been in contact with various highly reputable scientists and engineers who specialize in the development of artificial intelligence. After their refusal to disclose any information, top secret documents outlining the construction of a robot identical to the one currently rampaging Middletown have mysteriously vanished." Wade's fingers typed furiously on his keyboard as he pulled up the information on his screen.
"Artificial intelligence? That doesn't sound good...."
Ron ,who had been peering over Kim's shoulder and listening as well, joined into the conversation. "Figures we'd have to leave our senior prom to save the world. Ahhh, the life of a super hero, is there no rest?"
"Actually Ron," Wade stated, "I don't think you're gonna have the leave the prom for this..."
Kim and Ron didn't understand. "Huh?"
"According to various news reports tracking the robots movement, it's headed straight for Middletown High!"
"Wha..." Kim began, but was cut off as the entire gym shook. The music was abruptly cut off and those on the dance floor struggled to stay on their feet. The crowd looked around, frightened and confused. Another, even stronger tremor shot through the room and suddenly, the robot emerged from the other side of a gym wall, crushing it's way through the concrete. It towered over the students, it's faceless head nearly touching the ceiling. Instead of legs, the giant machine ran on a rover-style conveyor belt and it's arms were extendable with pincer-like claws on the end of each.
Rufus popped out from Ron's pocket, sensing the disturbance. "AHHH!" he squeaked and held onto the edge of the pocket for dear life.
Total chaos erupted and the prom-goers began screaming and making a mad rush towards the exits. A small door opened on top of the robot's dome shaped head and out extended a long, circular tube. Within seconds it was firing shots of bright red light into the crowd, chasing everyone towards the doors.
Meanwhile, Kim and Ron had used the confusion to their advantage, escaping undetected to a small space under the bleachers.
On the outskirts of Middletown, parked along a deserted road...
"Shego! Isn't it fantastic? My plan is working perfectly!"
Drakken and Shego were seated in front of a television screen. They were in the back of a large semi-truck which had been converted into a traveling control station. Lighted panels and buttons surrounded them. On the screen, the prom of Middletown High was being destroyed by the robot's laser.
"With the robot's built in video camera we can enjoy all of the destruction without moving a finger!"
"I dunno..." muttered Shego absently. "It kinda takes the fun out of being an evil villain..."
"Don't be a fool! It's just less work for us," said Drakken, annoyed. "Besides, machines are doing everything nowadays. Get with the times," and he snapped his fingers in her face.
"Do me a favor," said Shego sweetly, leaning towards him.
"Uh... y..yes?"
Shego grabbed him by the collar and yelled directly into his ear, "DON'T EVER SNAP YOUR FINGERS AT ME AGAIN!"
Drakken was rattled. "Geez!! Vent much? Just relax and enjoy the show already."
DING!!!
"Oooo! That must be the popcorn," exclaimed Drakken excitedly, running off to the microwave.
Shego rolled her eyes and returned to the screen.
Back at the gym....
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," said Kim as she hunched below the bleachers, watching the scene unfold from between the cracks, "why would Drakken send a robot to the prom?"
Wade looked at her incredulously. "Hello! What is everyone always after?"
Ron gave her a smug look, crossing his arms across his chest. "It's just like I said before KP." And he stressed each word, "Everyone's after you!"
Kim was just too tempted to wipe that know it all look off of Ron's face... "Oh! Everyone, huh?" And she flashed him a flirtatious smile that seemed to say 'You too?'.
Ron's smugness disappeared as his jaw dropped. He was temporarily taken aback by her forwardness. Then he just smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Nice one!"
"Uhhh...you guys are gonna have to explain that to me later....," said Wade from the Kimmunicator, looking strangely at them both. He fingers continuously clicked on the keyboard. "I'm bringing up the schematics for the robot and trying to find a way to disable it." He studied the screen briefly.
Meanwhile, the gym was completely emptied of it's former occupants and the robot's red laser had turned into a bright blue beam which was silently sweeping over the gym. "Uh Wade? What's it doing?" asked Kim.
"It's a heat sensor! It's looking for you! Whatever you do, don't let it find you!"
The blue beam was steadily drawing nearer to their hiding spot..."Come on, come on Wade," whispered Ron, intimidated by the swiftly approaching sensor. "Give us some info!" Rufus squeaked his encouragement.
Wade's face lit up. "Ah ha! It seems that it's central microchip is located in the back of the head and easily accessible through a sliding panel in the same vicinity. If you short-circuit it, it'll shut down the entire system!"
Kim scanned the gym....and spotted the sprinkler system on the ceiling of the gym. "Short circuit? Got it! We just have to figure out a way to open that panel..."
"Leave that to us!" Said Ron bravely and he turned towards Rufus in his pocket. "What do ya say? Gonna help me out with this one buddy?"
Rufus nodded. "Uh huh! Uh huh!"
"Alright, then let's do this!" exclaimed Kim. Just then the blue beam began to descend on them both...
"Kim! Your site's been getting numerous.....are you ok?" Wade gave her a confused look. "You look a little....red."
"Oh! Well I...." She couldn't help but glance at Ron over her shoulder.
