Kim Possible Meets Robocop p 11

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible or Robocop. Wish I did though.

Talking With James and Press Conference

Back in Delta City, Kim, Ron, Rufus and Robocop are on their way to James' office when they get close to a Cemetery. Robocop pulls into the Cemetery's driveway and drives the route to a certain grave.

When they get there, Robocop opens his door and steps out. Kim and Ron look at each other, shrug and step out as well, Rufus hopping into Ron's pants pocket. They quietly walk behind him until he stops. He then kneels down and nods at the marker.

Kim and Ron look at the marker and Ron reads it out loud. "Here lies Officer Anne Lewis, Shot to Death While Off Duty and Defending the Public Trust. May She Rest in Peace for All Time."

Robocop says, "I take it James told you about Anne."

Kim replies, "Yeah, he did. I would have liked to have met her. She seemed to be a nice lady."

Robocop nods and says, "She was. She even told me who I am the second time she saw me face to face. It had confused me until I found the missing pieces to the puzzle of my life. The night she died, she begged me to promise her that I'll get them for her. Her final word to me was my last name. Then she died." He then rises up and says, "We're running late. James should know about the laughquake that had happened."

Ron mulls this over and says, "You know, sometimes laughter can be used as a weapon, if used the right way. Hone your laughing and, bam! The criminals will be in stitches or too scared to move."

Robocop can only shake his head and let out a soft mechanized chuckle. He's finding Kim to be right. If anyone can make him laugh, it's Ron, no matter what happens. At that, the cyborg and the two teens with naked mole rat in tow return to the car and head for the office.

When they get there, they see Delta Security swarming the office, helping shaking people off of the ground and wrapping blankets around them. A Security Officer sees Robocop and goes over to him.

"Commander Murphy, I am pleased to report there were no fatalities from the earthquake and aftershock. But the strange part is, there are no fault lines around Michigan, at all, sir. Really strange, isn't it, Commander?"

Robocop nods and asks, "What was it on the Richter Scale?"

The Officer replies, "The first one was 7.1 and the one after it was 6.9, almost as if it's adjusting to manageable levels. Here's another strange item, sir. Witnesses say they heard laughter during both quakes. In fact, the ground started shaking the same time the laughter started."

The Officer frowns in thought and his face widens in realization. "Holy cow, sir. You're starting to become somewhat human. Humor is a sign of humanity, so you can now laugh and stop criminals cold. Nice, sir"

Robocop has only one response to that. "Thank you, Officer. I'll keep working on it. I must go inside now and see James." The Officer nods and lets the cyborg and the two crime-fighting teens in. As they head for the elevator, Robocop thinks about asking Ron about Rufus.

He then asks, "Ron, why do you have a naked mole rat as a pet? Why not a cat, a bird or even a dog?"

Ron replies, "It's because of my Dad's allergies. He's allergic to every kind of animal hair, so it's very restrictive in my house." Rufus pops out of Ron's pocket and nods, wearing a big smile. Ron adds, "Rufus was even with us the first time we saved someone. Remember that, KP?" Kim can only smile sweetly as Rufus jumps from Ron's shoulder onto her's.

Robocop looks at her and she says, "Rufus was just a baby mole rat when he helped, but he was pretty handy that night. He clambered up into the gate's Security lock and tore it apart. From then on, we hardly went anywhere without Rufus. At times, he would save our necks when it looked most dire." Robocop nods his understanding and they reach James' office.

James looks up and sees Robocop with Kim, Ron and Rufus. He gets up and says, "Thank goodness you're all right. Strange part is, there are no fault lines around here."

Robocop replies, "About that, James. I was the source of the quake, only it wasn't an earthquake. Kim calls it a laughquake. It seems when a strong-powered cyborg lets out a belly laugh, it shakes the ground beneath."

James replies, "As long as you're all right, that's the main thing. Who knows? We may get to hear you laugh inside the OCP Tower and shake things up a bit for them." Robocop can only shrug and let a soft chuckle escape.

Five minutes later, James calls a press conference and makes an announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen, given today's strange earthquake, I have an announcement to make. It was not an earthquake, it was a laughquake. My Father was doing an experiment in humor and got a little carried away. Thankfully enough, no one was hurt. My promise is to help my Father gain control over his intense laughter to avoid any further ground shaking mishaps. That is all."

At the hotel across town, Drakken and Shego were watching the News and Drakken says, "If laughter can devastate an area, imagine what would happen when we say the A.I. will tell very bad jokes that are very funny anyway? Let's find out who James Murphy's Father is and convince him we need his help." Shego nods and accesses the terminal.

She does a quick search and sighs in frustration. She then says, "Dr. D., I don't think you'll be able to get much of anywhere with that guy's Father. Come look at this." Drakken comes over and looks over Shego's shoulder.

He then reads out loud, "Alex Murphy, Detroit City Police Officer, shot to death in the line of duty. Remains buried with full Police Honors." He scratches his head in confusion and sees the classified section. He then points to it and says, "Let's see what's so classified about him." Shego nods and they hit another wall in the system.

Drakken shrugs and the two villains decide to start their plan now. They make their way to OCP Tower, the room and prepare their sick, twisted scheme.

Back at James' office, they hear two people come in. One is Edwin Hobley, the creator of the S.A.I.N.T. Computer and Jordan Key, the daughter of Ann R. Key. Jordan had grown quite a bit since Robocop had seen her last. Jordan sees him and runs up to give him a big hug. Alex can only chuckle as he strokes the back of her head.

Edwin smiles at the sight and says, "What do you think, James? Will the rebuilding plans suffice to support the ideas I have?"

James returns the smile and replies, "I have no doubt it will, Edwin. I would like you to meet Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable and Rufus, Ron's pet naked mole rat. Guys, this is Edwin Hobley and Jordan Key. Edwin was the designer and creator of the S.A.I.N.T. Project before it was corrupted by a virus."

Ron asks, "What kind of virus, other than a computer virus? From the sounds of it, it sounds like a nasty customer."

Jordan quietly replies, "It was. Daddy put the virus into me when I was a little girl. He plugged me into the system and finished uploading the virus. It was integrating with the system when it was stopped cold. My Mommy died that night, trying to stop it."

She then breaks down crying and Edwin explains, "You see, the Legion virus eats both data and flesh. If it had been allowed to go everywhere, the whole city would be a ghost town. Thank goodness for Mr. Cable and his sacrifice. If he hadn't triggered the EMP, we would not be here talking with you right now."

Kim asks, "Where is Mr. Cable?"

Robocop replies, "OCP Tower. I wanted to open the door and give John a decent burial, but Mrs. Cable would have none of it. She once told me that John had already received a funeral, so no sense in giving him another one."

Ron says, "Well, that's just... wait, did you just say he already had a funeral? How can a guy already dead make a sacrifice like that? The only way possible is if he was a cyborg." He blinks and says, "That's it, he was a cyborg when he sacrificed himself."

Robocop, Edwin, James and Jordan are impressed with Ron's not knowing and figuring it out without hints from anyone else in the room. Even Kim is stunned by this revelation.

She recovers enough to say, "If OCP won't bury a cyborg hero, then we'll have to do it for them." Just then, Robocop gets a radio call. He nods and goes to the television, turning it on.
