Ron sat at the edge of Kim's bed, his head gripped in his hands. He knew he had to save her, but he just wasn't sure how. He picked up the communicator and contacted Wade.
"Hey Ki…Ron? Where's Kim?" Wade asked through the tiny computer screen.
"With Drakken is my guess," Ron replied. "I went to my aunt's house and left Rufus here with Kim. I got a bad feeling so I came back here to find this," he allowed the screen to scan the room.
"Hold on Ron," Wade said suddenly and the screen went black. A few minutes later Doctor Director was prominent on communicator screen.
"Ron," she said, "after our failure with the Ron-factor we looked into the Rufus-factor. When we did this we implanted a small locator ship onto Rufus, we can patch it up to the communicator. Be at the space station in an hour, we'll have transportation ready for you." With the screen shut off and Ron ran back down the stairs and down to his car.
When he arrived at the space station it was completely deserted. Ron stepped out of the dark into the inky darkness that was punctuated by the yellow street lights. Suddenly the area was flooded with white light and a large, oval aircraft hovered above him.
A ladder dropped down, Ron grabbed one of the rungs tightly and he was pulled up into the craft. Inside were Dr. Director and various other Global Justice members. "Ron Stoppable," she said turning to him. "We have located Rufus' signal and have patched it into one of our autopilot pods. When we get within 30 miles of the location we will put you in the pod and it will take you within about a ½ mile or less of your objection."
She led him around the large ship, "After you land the pod will transform into an all terrain vehicle that will drive as close to your objection as you deem fit. We've sent the message to your communicator so that you can follow the signal the rest of the way."
Dr. Director led him to the pod area, "You'll be here for the duration of the flight so that we don't have any mistakes." With that she turned and left the room leaving Ron to wait alone.
A half hour later a G.J. member came and strapped Ron into one of the pods, "Now, don't touch any of the buttons or you might compromise the system." Ron nodded and slid into the pod. Within minutes he was flung from the ship and barreled almost horizontally toward the Earth.
Despite the speed at which he fell the pod landed softly on the ground, the door opened and Ron stepped out. After he had completely removed his body from the vehicle it transformed into a jeep.
Ron jumped inside the vehicle, started the engine and sped through the luscious undergrowth of the surrounding land. He jumped and rattled in his seat as the vehicle jostled down the unworn path.
He stopped the car at the unprotected base of what looked like a volcano, but Ron knew better. The light on the Tracking Map said that Rufus was deep within that volcano. Ron got out of the vehicle and started his long trek.
