The Tuesday, was mostly uneventful, with Kim avoiding Bonnie the entire day. When she arrived home, she found the house mostly empty. Her father was at soccer with the tweebs, and her mother at the hospital, so that Shego was left home alone. Not usually a good thing, Kim thought. She walked in, and found, nothing. Shego was not in the house. She dropped her books on the bed and was about to call her cell, when she saw her. She was in the backyard. Kim came down the stairs, and around out back. Shego stood, balanced entirely on the toes of one foot. The other foot was wrapped up around the back of her neck, with right arm holding the knee. The left arm was stretched out to balance. Three thoughts occurred in Kim's mind at the same moment. :That looks like it hurts. Damn she looks good in those sweat pants. I wonder what kind of reception she gets.:
"Hey Shego." Kim said. As Shego collapsed to the ground, it occurred to her, that she might have waited. Shego appeared unhurt. She stood and brushed herself off.
"Hello Kim." She stretched. Kim found herself licking her lips. "Didn't realize the time."
"What were you doing?" Kim asked idly.
"Practicing the one-armed, one-legged wonder position." Shego answered, bending over to stretch further.
"What's that?" Kim asked. She knew sixteen styles of Kung fu, Karate, and various other martial arts, but she'd never heard of that.
"It's intended to mystify and amaze, and make the viewers wonder how you're doing it." Shego laughed. "Want to try?"
"No thanks. I was kind of wondering if you're in the mood..." Kim was cut off there.
"Always." Shego grinned.
"For a sparring match." Kim replied with a nasty smile. Shego snorted.
"Always Princess." She walked to the edge of the ring that was set in the middle of the yard. At that moment however, the Kimmunicator beeped in. :Damn, always when I'm about to have some fun.: Was Shego's initial thought.
"Go Wade." Kim muttered.
"Robbery in progress at Fort Knox, Adam's on his way over." Wade reported.
"We're on it." Kim looked up at Shego. "Rain Check?"
"You bet your life on it." Shego grinned, and they bolted back to change.
Not quite ten minutes later, they met on the front lawn. Adam pulled up a moment later.
"Sorry, I couldn't find my stupid keys." He slid to a stop. "Shego? Why are you dressed like that?" She was wearing the same black sweater, and cargo pants Kim did, with her own gloves, and shoes. She carried the bone breaker staff, while Kim had the sword strapped to her belt. Shego glared at Kim for a moment before answering.
"Someone shrunk my only clean outfit." Adam couldn't help but laugh. There was a rush of air, that cut his laughter off almost immediately however. Kim and Shego found themselves staring at the Genesis. Genny appeared.
"Like the new chrome?" She asked. There were two bands, one around the top of the deck, and one midway down the sides. The engines were also chromed over. Kim and Shego nodded. "Great, hop on. We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there." She sang the last part, as they strapped in, and she took off blazing into the sky. The windshield didn't come up quite fast enough, so they ended up swallowing a fair number of bugs. All three of them cursed audibly as the ship raced along, until she lowered them down, and raised the windshield. "Sorry, got caught up in the song." She apologized with a shrug.
"It's alright Genny." Kim replied, making sure to be heard over the wind. Genny glared at Adam.
"Didn't you give them mikes?" She snapped irritably.
"Sorry, I forgot." He unbuckled the rod from his waist, and knelt near a compartment before him. The latches popped easily, and he pulled out a trio of head sets. He handed them each one, and put on the third. What at first appeared to be headphones, he showed went around the neck, and pressed against the throat. A long dropping piece, flipped over and clipped to the ear.
"So now what?" Kim asked. She started in surprise. She could hear her own voice replayed back straight through the mike. Adam noted her look, and touched a button on his own. He said something they couldn't hear, and twisted a small nob. He leaned over and repeated the adjustment for them both.
"Try again." They heard him through the earphones.
"Like this?" Kim asked. There was no delay.
"Sounds right to me." Shego said. She grinned.
"Excellent, now we can hear each other, and Genny, and she can hear us..." Adam said. He apparently started to say more, but slid sideways, as the airship rolled to it's right. He slid across the deck, and grabbed the rod as a military fighter rocketed by below them.
"Out of the way asshole!" Genny screamed. The reply over the radio was nowhere near as polite. "Permission to open fire?" Genny asked.
"Denied, we don't need an international incident." Adam yelled back, as she rolled the other way to help him up. Kim grabbed his hand and helped him to his feet. He buckled back against the rod. "What the hell happened?" He growled.
"An F-16 was to close and I rolled clear, don't know where he was going. I think I should increase speed again." Genny replied, calm again.
"Agreed, maximum throttle." The pad accelerated, as the side walls of the wind shield rose, and the windshield tilted back. The holographic speedometer showed both mph, as well as mach number. Kim was amazed to find them travelling at well over mach seven.
"How do you manage that?" She asked, pointing at the speedometer. Genny smiled.
"Magnetic fields. Not really sure how to explain it, but they lower the air resistance." She shrugged. "I get better gas mileage too." She grinned. "Range to target, one-quarter mile." She commented, face serious.
"Sit map." Adam muttered, though they could hear him clearly anyway. A holographic display appeared, showcasing the entire Fort Knox complex, as well as red images within it's glowing blue structure.
"Monkey fist?" Kim asked, staring.
"And Duff Killigan?" Shego identified another of the images.
"And both working together." Kim finished the thought.
"Something funny is going on." Adam muttered. It wasn't really needed, but he felt like saying it. "That must be the U.S. army." He waved at the dots surrounding it. "Put Kim through to the commander."
"Online." Genny nodded to Kim.
"Miss Possible?" A voice came over the remarkably static free line.
"Speaking." She replied.
"This is general Mason, we've identified the intruders. Lord Monte Fisk, and Duff Killigan. Is there any thing you'll need?" He asked.
"No general, we're going straight in." She replied.
"Alright. Be careful Miss Possible." The connection closed.
"Can we land just long enough to get off, then have Genny pull back up? I don't want to put her in danger so soon." Kim asked Adam.
"Better idea. We'll just line in." Adam smiled. Shego groaned and gripped her stomach.
"Do we have to?" She asked. Noting Kim's confused expression, Genny explained.
"A line in, is rather simple, I roll over and then lower you three on lines that attach to the safety harnesses. I can do it from up to seven thousand feet in the air." She smiled. "I think twenty five hundred will suffice this time."
"Sounds good, what's wrong with you Shego." Kim asked.
"Sensitive stomach. As much as I eat, it's not pleasant when it comes back up." She smiled weakly at the humor.
"Don't worry, I'll roll slowly." Genny promised. "We're over the drop zone. Ready?" Kim and Adam nodded. Shego shook her head, but it was too late. The aircraft rolled, slowly, as promised, so Shego found she wasn't puking. She felt the winches begin to lower them down through the air. As they touched the ground a few minutes later Shego sighed. She really liked the ground.
"Better leave the headsets." Adam noted, and hung it from the rope. Kim and Shego followed suit, and the harnesses retracted. "Alright glorious leader, lead." Adam waved at Kim, sweeping his hand forwards. She nodded, and darted ahead. Shego followed, with Adam jogging after them both. The first clue they were getting close, was an exploding golf ball, slamming into the ground in front of them.
"Well, hello Lassie!" Duff called. "Oh, and I see ya brought some friends. No problem, so did I."
"Greetings, Kim Possible." Monkey fist smiled. "I see Mr. Stoppable is not with you. A pity, but you have proven a worthy..." He flipped into the air. Adam advanced slowly on him, snarling. Kim stared and shook her head. "Monkey ninja's! Attack!" He managed before turning to focus on Adam.
"Shego, can you handle the monkey's?" Kim asked. Shego laughed in her face. "I'll take that as a yes. Then Duff is mine." She advanced slowly, drawing the sword, slicing through the flying golf balls. He growled, and whipped out another club, and advanced, spinning the weapons over his head. One came over head, and she blocked the blow, then twisted back to dodge the second strike, and then lunged forwards, slicing up, to make him flinch back, then she reversed the blade, and swung around the stunner glowing hot. He ducked, and hit her in the ribs as she spun round. She rolled forwards, wincing at the blow, and rolled up to her feet, spinning around.
Shego whirled the staff over head, and around her body, passing it from hand to hand as she blocked strike after strike, and knocked away leaping monkeys. When two grabbed the staff, she slammed the staff down on the ground, knocking them, and two others out cold. She flipped into the air, landed low, and swept the staff around, tripping them to the ground. Another pair grabbed the ends of the staff, and two jumped on her back. She rolled over to knock the pair off her back, and flipped into the air, then slid the staff along her foot, kicking one off, and then swung it much harder, sending the other one flying.
"Why are you after me!" Monkey fist growled, blocking a flurry of nasty blows. He danced back from the kick thrown at him, and countered with an over hand chop. Adam caught it, pulled hard, and tossed him into the air, and whipped around, slamming the Monkey master in the back with his foot. Monkey fist rolled, and ended up face first in a mud puddle. "Fine, then we won't play nice." He snarled. He charged forwards again, coming in low, and sweeping up with his arms. A knee met his face, and he stumbled back, and received a kick to the sternum. He stumbled back, gasping for air. "Didn't want to use this." He pulled his hand back, and pitched a small, silver orb. Adam flashed his hand up, and struck at the orb. Exactly what he was supposed to do. The contact flashed nearly three million volts into his body, knocking him completely unconscious.
"Adam!" Shego yelled. A number of monkeys jumped up, and wrapped around her limbs. Something deep inside her mind tripped. First her control slipped. The monkeys howled in pain as the powers blasted them off. Then the second trigger in her mind tripped fire danced along her arms, and she lashed out with it through the air, slamming into Monkey fist and throwing him into the air. She was so focused on him, that she didn't see her own weapon crashing into her head. She was out before she hit the ground. Kim saw it, and charged Duff hard. Sparks flew as the weapons danced back and forth, colliding with each other. Duff flinched each time, but Kim ignored them, and continued to press her advance. Then she made a mistake. A single misstep in an otherwise totally perfect fight. She made an over hand attack. Duff saw it, started to block, and then swept his right foot around, so that her momentum pulled her forwards, and Duff flipped the left hand club into the air, as the right hand weapon came around infront of her and he caught the other end. Hauling up, instead of choking her, the move caused her forward momentum to pull her up, and she hit the ground, as he slammed the shank of the club into her chest. She bounced once, and passed out.
"Finally. Monkey Fist. Have your ninja's bring them. Duff, watch out incase they wake up." The communications came through the ear pieces each wore. Monkey fist ordered his ninja's to carry him, as well as the three, and they walked away.
