High on That Mountain – Part Three –
The two teens took off in the hovercraft and went after Drakken at his new lair. "Kim, what are we going to do when we get there." Asked Ron? "I don't know" said Kim, "but we have to stop his new robot army and stop him from arming that bomb. If it detonates there will be little left alive." Ron swallowed hard, "Do you think, it is as bad as Shego said it was". "Yes, Ron, I sure do, I have never seen Shego scared before until she was telling us about what had happened." Said Kim. "There's Drakken's new lair." Kim landed the hovercraft and the two teens approached the lair. The Kimmunicator beeped and Kim got is out of the pocket in her mission pants. "What's the stich Wade?" "Kim, Shego, turned over the plans of the new lair and of the bomb. I have looked at the plans, no matter what, do not let him activate the bomb. If he does lets hope that the deactivate procedures work. The bomb is as bad as Shego told you. It is the most powerful nuclear bomb ever made and he added some material that will cause the radiation to be worse. Those persons who don't die in the blast, will die from the radiation released to the atmosphere and the nuclear winter that will follow. Those who live through that will have little chance to survive." Kim and Ron looked at each other and Ron reached out to take her hand. "Can we get any help or backup?" asked Kim. "No, Kim, GJ has got a team on the way but Drakken's scanners would detect them long before they could help you. Drakken would probably activate the bomb the second he felt he was under attack" said Wade. "You two will have to handle it" Kim paled a little and she saw that Ron had gotten a little paler also. "Okay, Wade, thanks. Are you ready Ron?" "Not really," said Ron "but let's do it" They were able to avoid the security scanners and gained access to the lair with the information that Shego had given them. They entered the lair and started to search for Drakken. They entered what was apparently a hangar. Kim was shocked to see the spaceplane that the spacemonkey and her had used to defeat Monkeyfist. "Dad, didn't say anything about this" Kim said. Drakken must have just stolen it. They also found a long metal box. There was a screen at each end of the box with what seemed to be a computer terminal. There was a single manacle by each terminal. "This must be it" said Ron. "It is just as Shego described it." Ron and Kim got closer to the bomb and realized how big it really was. Kim called Wade "We have found the bomb. Do you want to scan it?" asked Kim. "Yes, hold out the Kimmunicator" A beam came out of the handheld device and scanned over the bomb. "Kim, something is wrong, Drakken seems to have changed some things, and the radiation readings are way too...." The Kimmunicator blared with static and the picture of Wade disappeared. The rooms was brightly lit by lights. Kim and Ron realized that they were surrounded by several of Drakken's new robots. Each of the robots had their weapon arms extended and aiming at Kim and Ron. "Well, well, well, if it is not Kim Possible and Ron" said Drakken voice. "Hey, he finally remembered my name" said Ron. "Give it up, Drakken" said Kim "There is no way we are going to let you take over the world." "Well, I take it that you have been talking to my former sidekick, I am surprised she is still alive. No matter, she didn't seem take to me anymore so I disposed of her" said the disembodied voice. "Where is he?" asked Ron. "There has to be a control room somewhere." Said Kim. "I am up here you two" with that statement another light came on and Kim and Ron got their first sight of Drakken. Kim paled and Ron gave an audible gulp. The control room overlooked the hangar bay and Drakken was standing in the open window. He was a sight to see. His face had a number of burns in it. What little hair he had on his head stood out from under the metal cap that was on his head. His mananical face was leering down at them. "Oh, man he doesn't look good does he" said Ron, "No" commented Kim "definitely a bad hair day." Before the two teens could move, one of the robots shot out a thin stream of gas that covered them both. They coughed and tried to hold each other up as they fell to the floor unconscious.
Kim thoughts were cloudy like a dream, she was dreaming. She was walking down the aisle of a church. She was getting married. Her white dress billowed around her. Her father stood at her side with her arm in his. She looked at the front of the church. The rest of the party was waiting for them. Monique was there beaming at the sight of her. Wade was there as Best Man. There stood Ron looking delightedly handsome and very happy. She reached the front of the church and stopped. The pastor asked "Who gives this bride to be married?" "Her mother and I" said her father and with a small kiss, turned and went to sit with her mother. Ron stepped to her side, reaching for her hand, "Kim....
"Kim, wake up Kim" Ron's voice seemed to come from the end of a dark tunnel. The tunnel got brighter and Ron's voice seemed to get stronger. "Kim, are you OK?. Wake up sleepyhead" Kim's mind cleared as well as her vision. They seemed to be in a cell of a type. Ron was chained to the wall next to her with his arms over his head. "Kim, are you OK?" asked Ron again. She could tell by his eyes that he was concerned about her. "Yeah, I'm OK" said Kim. "How about you?" "I've been better" said Ron. "What do you do?" asked Ron. "What?, What, do you mean?" asked Kim. "You were saying "I do", I was wondering what you were doing?" said Ron. "Nothing, Ron, nothing, just a dream" Kim said . "Must have been a good dream, you sure had a pretty smile" said Ron. Kim turned and smiled at Ron, "Well, you were in the dream, so that made it good. Have you seen Drakken?" "No" said Ron "I've been awake for a few minutes, I've seen some of his robots but not him" "You can see me, now" said Drakken as he came into the room. "Troops have been detected coming this way, that is exactly what I told them I didn't want. The clock is ticking" "WHAT!" Kim and Ron said together. "Oh yes" said Drakken "the clock is ticking. I have sent some of my robots to stop the troops. They will delay the troops long enough so it won't matter. I'll be long gone in your father's spaceplane long before the bomb goes off. I'll just leave you two here. It will be most merciful for you. This close to the bomb, you won't even feel it. One second you will be here, the next you will not. Goodbye, Kim Possible and Ron" "He still remembers my name" said Ron. Drakken turned and left the room as he spoke. "Forgive me for leaving so soon, but I have some arrangements to make before I take off." Kim and Ron were left in the room. The Kimmunicator beeped and came out of Kim's pocket on the small arms that came out of the housing. Wade's face was on the screen. "Sorry, Kim, Drakken was jamming my signal. I just got through. Need a hand?" "Please and thank you" said Kim. A laser came out of one of the arms and cut off the chains from Kim and Ron. "OK, Wade, you have to call off the troops, Drakken has armed the bomb." Said Kim. "Oh no" said Wade, "I will notify the proper people, you two need to get out of there." "No, Wade" said Ron as he placed his hand on Kim's shoulder. "Drakken has to be stopped, I am not leaving." Kim looked a Ron is total surprise. Ron saw Kim looking at him. "Kim, I know it is a surprise coming from me, if you want to leave I won't blame you. You have a wonderful life ahead of you. Me, nobody will miss me. I am going to stop Drakken, or die trying." Tears came to Kim's eye as she saw the determination in Ron's face. "Ron, life without you would not be worth living. We are a team and we will be a team to the very end." Kim reached out and touched Ron's face. "Wade" said Kim, "Let everyone know that we are going to try and stop the bomb. Try and save as many people as you can. If we are not successful, tell our parents that we love them and will miss them, but we had a job to do. We knew that some day this day might come." "Okay, Kim" said Wade "I take care of that message". Wade knew there was nothing else to say as he signed off.
Ron and Kim stalked quietly toward the hanger where a lot of noise was occurring. "Kim, you go after Drakken in the control room, I'll distract the robots" Kim looked at Ron "Are we going to have to start calling the team Team Stoppable?" Ron looked at Kim and grinned. "No, we will always be Team Possible, but I am better at distracting and you are better at kicking Drakken's butt." "Sounds like a plan to me, let's go for it" said Kim. Ron ran out into the hangar, under his breath he spoke "Magical monkey power, hit me. Master Sensei, be with me". "Hey, rustbuckets, let's play a game of tag" Ron delivering a flying kick that completely smashed one robot and sent the remains flying into another. "Tag you're it" Ron screamed.
Kim moved quietly up to the control room where she could hear Drakken muttering under his breath. "Where is Possible, Stoppable is destroying my robots." "Right behind you Drakken." Said Kim. She leaped into the room and to give Drakken a kick, she was knocked out of the air by a robot arm. She reeled across the room and hit the far wall hard. "Oh, Miss Possible, meet my new sidekick, Robo 1. He is the master robot, he takes commands from be and sends them to the other robots." Kim looked up and say a large robot. It was looking directly at her. She jumped into a flying kick and just missed the robot as it dodged out of the way. "Oh by the way, while Shego was unconscious I used one of my old machines to transfer some of her fighting ability to Robo 1 here." "So I noticed" said Kim. "Okay, Robo, let's see what you've got" and leaped at the robot.
Kim was gasping for air, she was exhausted. The robot definitely had some of Shego's skill, but not all of it. The robot was dented and one arm was not working right. Kim was bruised and limping. She could not keep this up much longer. She jumped to one side and attempted to deliver another kick to the robot's damaged side. Robo 1 seemed to anticipate this move and caught her in mid-air. It's hand wrapped around Kim's neck and began to squeeze. Kim beat on the arm to no avail. She saw Drakken leering at her from in front of the window. "Nice and slow Robo 1, do it nice and slow." Kim's vision began to blur as she grew weak. "Look out Kim" screamed Ron as he sailed into the room through the window. He leaped around the room in several moves that reminded Kim of MonkeyFist. Ron swung down from the ceiling over Drakken and grabbed the helmet ripping off of Drakken's head. Robo 1 dropped Kim to the floor and stopped functioning. Drakken fell to the floor with a scream. Kim gasped for air as the pressure on her neck was relieved. "Ron, the bomb, you took the helmet off" "It doesn't matter Kim, the bomb is already activated. Taking off the helmet was the only way to stop this robot from killing you." Kim then noticed Ron's condition. He was badly bruised and bleed from some places. "Ron, you're hurt" as she rushed to his side. "It's OK, KP, I think I might have some broken ribs and I know I will have a black eye. On the other hand you look just beautiful to me." He reached out and drew her into a hug. Kim then looked out of the control room window. The floor was littered with broken robots. She looked at Ron "I'm impressed". Drakken rolled on the floor groaning. The two knelt down at his side. "Dr. D, are you okay?" asked Kim. Dr. Drakken opened his eyes and sat the two teens looking down at him. "Kim Possible, the buffoon, what are you doing here?" "Man, he forgot my name again" said Ron. Dr. Drakken asked, "where is Shego, what am I doing here?" "Dr. D, what do you remember?" asked Kim. Dr. Drakken's eyes rolled around in his head. "I was testing the mind controller cap, something went wrong. I don't remember anything after that." "Dr. Drakken, you have made a bomb, you nearly killed Shego. Dr. D. the bomb will go off soon if we don't stop it. Shego told us how. Stay here, we are going to disarm the bomb. Dr. Drakken said "No, wait, I..." Dr. Drakken did not finish as he died.
Kim and Ron approached the huge weapon as it sat on the floor. "You ready, Ron" asked Kim? "Yeah, lets do it." Said Ron. They each positioned themselves at each end of the weapon. "Okay, we have to put the cuffs on to start the process" The teens each placed their wrists into the cuffs and closed them. On each screen in front of them a message was displayed "Disarm Procedure, Step One complete" "Ok, Ron, we have to enter the disarm codes at the same time" Kim got out the PDA that Shego had given her. "Ok, Ron, together we enter KJH125NTTP." Each of the teens pressed the proper letters as she read the letters. An alarm started to beep. The counter on the weapon raced down and started a countdown with 60 minutes on it. The cuffs on their wrists clacked again. "Kim, I think we are in trouble." Said Ron. The screen showed a message. "Disarm procedure failure, Final countdown commenced" "Ron, try the code again" Both teens stated to type the message in again when the screen displayed Drakken's face. "Well, whoever you are, I just wanted to let you know what's happening. I figured that you might find the codes for the bomb so I changed them. You and most of the world have less than 60 minutes to live." The screens went blank and the bomb started to hum. "This is not good" said Ron. Kim called Wade "Wade, Ron and I are at the bomb, the codes do not work, Drakken changed them and he is dead. Get everyone as far from here as you can. You have less than 60 minutes." Without waiting for an answer Kim signed off. "Ron, we have to get the bomb on the spaceplane. If we can get it on there, I can fly it into space. If it goes off up there it will not hurt anyone else." The two teens tried to move the weapon. They could barely move it. "We need help" said Kim "we can't even budge this thing." "Help" Ron thought "where are we going to get help with as little time as we have." Then he noticed that he still had Drakken's control cap hanging from his belt. "Got an idea, KP" said Ron. He placed the cap on his head, and closed his eyes and appeared to be thinking. "Ron, what are you doing?" asked Kim. In answer to that Robo 1 smashed through the wall and came up to the weapon. "Robo 1" said Ron "move the weapon onto the spaceplane." "By your command" said the robot and started to move the bomb onto the plane. The robot placed the bomb in the storage bay of the spaceplane. "Robo 1, cut the cuffs off." "Ron, won't that cause the bomb to detonate" "Robo 1, is there a way to disarm the cuffs?" The robot turned to Ron and said "There is a code to deactivate the detonation, however the cuff must stay within 50 yards of the device or it will destruct." "Enter the code, Robo 1" ordered Ron. "By your command" the robot turned and entered a code into one of the terminals. Then the robot turned and using the claw on this arm cut both of the teens free. Ron took off the cap and the robot shut down. Kim turned to Ron "I am going to start the engines, come on, lets get this thing out of here." Kim and Ron ran to the cockpit and Kim flew the spaceplane out of the hangar up heading into space. Wade's face came up on the screen in the spaceplane. "Kim, what's going on, where is the bomb"? "We have it on board the spaceplane Wade, how far do we have to go the keep this thing from hurting anyone?" Wade turned to his screen and did some fast figuring. Kim, at your present speed and heading, you should be clear in 30 minutes." "Ron, what is the time on the bomb" Ron looked on his cuff and noticed and small screen counting down. "Kim, the bomb has 35 minutes to go" Kim and Ron looked at each other and knew they would be able to save the earth. Wade said "Kim, that would not give you enough time to get clear." "That isn't possible anyway Wade, we have to stay near the bomb or it will go off." Wade looked at the two teens and knew what Kim was saying. "Kim isn't there anyway?" "No, Wade, not this time, no escape this time" Kim looked over to Ron and reached out to take his hand. "We knew that this might happen. We are ok with it. Tell Shego, that we realized what she was talking about. We are together." "OK, Kim, I understand" said Wade as his voice started to crack. Call me if you need to. I'll check all calls going out to you. The only reason I will call is if we find a way to stop the bomb." "Thanks Wade, you have been a good and loyal friend, take care of yourself." Kim turned off the communication link and looked over to Ron. "The ship is on autopilot. We don't have anything to do now. We done all that we can do." Ron took Kim by the hand and led her away from the cockpit. "What are we going to do now" asked Kim. "Well, there is one thing I have been wanting to do for sometime" said Ron, "and now is a good time" "And just what might that be" asked Kim? "Just this" said Ron. He turned to her and took her close into her arms and planted a kiss directly on her lips. She was surprised and then realized that this is something that she had wanted for sometime. She reached up wrapping her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. They broke the kiss looking into the eyes of the other. "Wow" they both said.
