Jezrianna: 1)I know, I just love that little thing. 2)Probably right, it wasn't the word I wanted anyway... Not sure which I was looking for really. 3)Another nod to a movie, Ocean's Eleven this time. 4)Ewww... That was not what I meant. Sword fighting is what I was talking about.
1)True point, but I had to knock him off one way or the other, and both aircraft have relatively low profiles. I'll see about rewriting that, maybe accuse the mountains. 2) Good observation, Mach 7 would put you in London fairly quickly, wouldn't it? I'll fix that. Here's the next.
Four chapter's remain.

"What happened?" Kim asked. She found herself hanging upside down, chained to a post. She heard Adam and Shego waking beside her, both with the same question.
"Oh, let's just say, you've been captured by the greatest mind on earth!" Dementor piped in.
"Ya, me." Duff grunted, followed by a clang, when he hit Dementor on the head with a golf club.
"Be silent." Monkey fist snapped, rubbing his head. "You're not helping my head."
"Poor baby." DNAmy smiled.
"I am amazed that the four of you managed to survive this long, if all you can do is argue." The fifth man grunted.
"Who are you?" Kim asked.
"Darkwolf Hound." Adam snapped. Amy burst into laughter. Monkey fist sighed, rubbing his head.
"A long time, with no sight of you my old friend, I thought that explosion finally killed you. It's been eighteen years since I saw you." The dark suited man smiled.
"You should know better than to ever count me out of anything." Adam growled, and flipped up, clearly intending to grab, and snap the chains. There was a long steel wire wrapped around the mid-way point of the post, about a foot out, that he hit. A sizzle of electricity blasted him back to the hanging position. Between the electricity, and the impact on the post, he was out cold. Kim said something, that she probably shouldn't have, and lunged upwards, avoiding the wire. A tazer blast met her, Shego said nothing then blasted upwards. The plasma power never reached the chains, as a second tazer shot put her down. Two of Dementor's henchmen drug along the wheeled pole, and took it into the room containing the Slammer. Dementor walked to the control console, while Amy walked to an identical one. The henchmen lifted them down, and threw them in. The door slammed, waking Kim. She lunged for the door, but it slammed into place and one of the henchmen spun the locking ring. She hit the door hard, and bounced off.
"No! What are you going to do!" She screamed.
"Don't worry Miss Possible, with luck you'll be closer to your 'friends' than ever before." Darkwolf called back cheerfully. "Fire the slammer up!" He called.
"Right away." Dementor replied.
"So tell me, how exactly, is combining the three of them into one being going help?" Monkey Fist asked carefully. "That just means that you'll have three minds in one body, and all the powers associated with them."
"Not true, my simian friend." Dementor put in. "This is why controlling the process is so important. I can give them only the worst qualities of each of them."
"And with them weakened, and confused, we can do away with them, completely." Darkwolf grinned, just as his namesake, wolfishly. Monkey Fist shuddered. "How long?" He asked the two scientists.
"Just a moment more. There, we are ready." Dementor smiled, and pushed the lever controlling the power forwards, and gave Amy the thumbs up. She punched the ignition button. Kim growled, and hit the door again as white light flooded the chamber. Then everything went black.

Fluttering her eyes, Kim opened them a second later. She realized something was fairly wrong. First of all she was still in side the giant machine. Second she was naked. She could feel the cold steel of the machine on her back and legs. She rolled over and came to her feet. Clothes lay scattered across the floor, hers, Adam's, and Shego's. But she was alone. Or was she. Two further things nagged at the back of her mind. First a distinct feeling she wasn't alone in her head. Second a feeling that she was not herself.
:Took you long enough.: Shego's voice sounded dryly in the back of Kim's mind.
;It is a tad disconcerting dear.; Adam's voice chided.
"Why are you two in my head, instead of standing in the room?" Kim queried. She could feel Adam grinning, even though she couldn't see it, as he snatched one of Ron's lines.
;Don't know, would like to, don't.; He broke off into laughter.
:Don't laugh, she's got control of the body.: Shego muttered. :Since we can still feel from it, could you please put some clothing on?:
Kim nodded, wrapping her arms around her chest. That confirmed her earlier suspicions. "We seem to have a problem." She muttered.
:Meaning?: Shego asked.
"This isn't my body, and it's not your's Shego." She said out loud.
;Mine?; Adam queried.
"Can't be." She replied. "It's not equipped with any of the usual external equipment."
;Ah. Flat chest and no...; He started.
:ADAM!: Shego cut him off. He dissolved into laughter again. Kim sighed.
"Beyond that, I seem to be intact, except..." She trailed off.
:Except?: Shego questioned.
"We're stuck with Adam's legs." Shego grinned. Adam ceased laughing for a moment, then burst out again, even harder this time.
:So just grab his pants, we need to hurry, we don't know when they'll be back.: Shego grunted hurriedly. Kim nodded, and dressed. Then stuffed the rest of their things into her backpack. She finished just as the door opened again.
"I told you so." Monkey Fist grunted. "I knew she'd be awake before we got here." He finished.
"Oh, shut up." Dark wolf snapped. "Well Miss Possible. Or should I perhaps say, Miss Shego. Or instead, Mr. Marcae." He smiled that same evil smile. "It doesn't matter, you'll soon die." He pulled a pistol from his jacket. Only a few feet from him, Kim knew she had almost no chance to dodge. The gun fired, and she accepted her fate. Then she realized that she wasn't dead. She opened her eyes, and the entire room was moving in slow motion. She stepped sideways from the bullet and leapt out, rolling past the two looking into the Gene Slammer. Time accelerated again, and Darkwolf swore, as the bullet ricocheted inside the huge sphere. Monkey Fist slammed the door shut. Duff saw, and struck at her first, swinging over hand. She grabbed the club out of the air, and kicked out, catching the end of his chin with her heel. He let go the club, and spun away. A fortunate thing, since the force behind the kick had thrown her off balance.
:Give me control.: Shego snapped, and Kim did so, not knowing how she did. Shego shifted her weight instantly as the foot hit, and whirled the other leg up, catching a thrown punch from Monkey Fist and knocking it sideways. She dropped the foot back down, and lunged, driving her left knee into the monkey warrior's stomach. He groaned in pain, and she slashed downwards smashing her open hand into the back of his neck. He dropped, not unconscious, but in sheer pain. Shego leapt and rolled as Darkwolf fired again. Sparks showered the room as the round bounced off the wall. Amy yelled something, but Shego didn't hear it. All she saw, was a massive spider. Actually, it was a cross between a spider, and an ape. And a scorpion, she corrected herself as she dodged the tail of the creature. A kick to one leg was useless, as it shifted it's weight on the other seven and struck out with it's arms. Shego leaned back, then grabbed a finger, and broke it. The creature howled in pain, and stumbled back. Shego twisted sideways, as Darkwolf fired again. The bullet went wild again, catching Duff in the hind end. He leapt into the air.
"Shoot them, no' me!" He yelled at Darkwolf.
"I'm trying!" Darkwolf screamed back. He raised his gun to fire, but Shego saw him. She lashed her arms up, attempting to activate her powers. It didn't work and she rolled away again as he fired. This time it wasn't clean though, as the round tore through her shoulder. She clapped a hand to it, to stop the bleeding.
;Give me control of the body.; Adam hissed. Shego did so, or tried, Kim grabbed control. Adam swore then sighed. She brought them up running. Darkwolf drew a bead, remembering lead, and fired. At the same instant, Kim threw up her arm and the bullet lodged in the barrel. The gun exploded in Darkwolf's hand. He screamed in pain, and stumbled back. At the same instant, Dementor fired the ray gun in his hands. The blast slammed into the body, and pitched it across the room, into the wall. The blow put Kim, and Adam out cold. Shego gained control by default, and she rolled to her feet, even considering the injuries. Dementor fired again, but Shego rolled to the right, ignoring the pain in her shoulder, and came up running. Two henchmen stepped in front of her. She leapt up, and bounced off the shoulders of the two, and kicked the next pair in the face. She landed, rolled, and swept out her right foot, knocking the right hand guard into the pair behind her. The left hand guard swung down, but Shego kicked up with her left foot, and was rewarded when the bone snapped. She flipped up, and charged Dementor, erratically zig-zagging to dodge the blasts of energy. At the last instant, Dementor flipped the ray gun back, caught the barrel, and swung it around. The move was unexpected, and hit Shego in the face. She tripped, and rolled forwards. Then she crashed into a computer. Shego slipped out of consciousness, and Adam revived. Seeing himself surrounded, and Kim and Shego out, he reverted to his unique style of martial arts. The great art of R. Translation? How to run from any situation. He turned, and bolted for the door, leaping, and rolling under Amy's creature, and coming to his feet, and slamming through the double doors, and going left, simply on instinct. He crashed out a second set of doors, and swept to the right around a corner. He felt Shego waking as he slid through another swinging door. The sleeping monkey ninja's snapped to attention as he came through. He back stepped through the door, kicking the door to knock out a group that leapt for him as he did so. He spun around, and raced past the corner he'd just come around, seeing out of the corner of his left eye, that Monkey Fist, and Amy's creature were racing down the hall. Adam slid round another corner and rolled into another pair of doors. He found himself on the roof of the building. He wasn't sure where they were.
"GENNY!" Adam yelled into the air. Fortunately, each of them seemed to have their own voices, and he raced for the edge of the roof. There was a building, but it required a running jump. He turned and raced for the other side of the building. He slid to a stop, as Kim woke. She had instant access to the memories.
;You can't be serious.; She said. Shego grunted.
:I agree, we'll never make it.: She said.
"No choice!" He yelled as he charged the roof ducking under Monkey Fist's reaching arms, hit the edge of the roof and leapt into space. He knew from the instant he left the roof, he'd never make the next roof. Kim and Shego screamed, knowing it as well.
