Jez: I know but I didn't want to make it too big, and over play Adam as happens in all the big ones.
Captainkodak: Unfortunately this is the final chapter of this story. However, it does continue on in further stories soon to come.
Jonakhensu: I'm glad you caught that reference. Thanks for the review.
Indeed, thanks to all of you who have read and reviewed. I'm eagerly awaiting more great Fanfics from you as you are from me.

The Avant Guarde lifted smoothly away from the castle, heading back towards House Marcae, the crystals vibrating the entire ship, as it raced back. Appearently the captain didn't want to stick around, to find out if the raiders were going to return, or if they'd had enough.
Kim coughed. "Adam?" He turned back, more than a bit dismal looking. He seemed to have been crying, although silently. Exactly why wasn't clear, although that woman probably didn't help matters.
"Yes." He wiped his eyes.
"Someone at the party gave me a message for you." She commented.
"Which was?" He asked.
"That the 'Birds of Dawn are seeking Blood for the Feud'." She repeated. He swore, lunging up from his seat for the door. At the same time the captain appeared in the doorway.
"Those weren't raiders." She told him. He closed his mouth, staring at her. "They were mercenaries, working for house Dragonoria. That's the reason we're heading home so fast. There was a Silver Knight marking on the fighter, under the right wing."
"They were disbanded." Adam sighed.
"Who were they?" Ron asked.
"A group of mercenaries, flying under the house Dragonoria banner. They were absolutely viscious, and were disbanded by Imperial directive. Most merc groups fly under a house banner, such as the Black Lights." Captain Ardala offered.
"The Black Lights?" Kim asked.
"The house Marcae's band of mercs. We fund them, and keep the ship, the Black Light, in working order. In return, they fight with us." Adam shrugged. "How did you know it was Dragonoria?" Adam requested of the captain.
"The Dragoria entered the clouds, and came out unpursued, but there was no wreckage." She smiled. "Relax, we out number them, twenty-to-one, and we have a full Imperial army battalion stationed in the house. We'll be fine. Besides, Triaxx returns in three days. It'd take a direct intervention by a higher being to break through in three days."
"And the dragon's?" Adam rebutted.
"Will not intervene either way, without a direct command from the Emperor." Noreen replied, smoothly.
"I see."

The return home was not as bad as had been the trip away Kim found. They all landed feet first, without loosing anything. The hike back to the house was, if nothing else, pleasant. A few weeks later, they pulled into the driveway of Kim's house, all in all, glad to be home after the trip. Kim and Ron both were accepted to college, and all four moved to a new house. While Kim and Ron went about that, Adam and Shego began to drum up business for the new Possible Inc.

"Hello?" Shego commented over the phone.
"Is this Possible Inc?" Came a woman's voice.
"Yes it is, one moment please." She tapped the speaker phone. Kim came over.
"Miss Possible speaking, what can we do for you?" She asked, using her professional voice. Considering she was just about to go into the pool, she was finding it difficult.
"I wanted to see if you were interested in working security for a conference in Switzerland. It's a women's rights conference, so if only the two ladies could attend..." The woman left it hanging.
"We'll have to check and see if we can leave the boys alone without them getting into trouble. How long until the conference?" Shego replied.
"Two months." The voice answered.
"We'll let you know." Kim replied.
"Thank you." The line clicked.
"Come on, they're waiting for us." Kim snatched at Shego's arm.
