After Will's awesome chapter, you'll have to be satisfied with plain old Spitfire. But this chapter has a bit more action.
Disclaimer: Nobody who wrote this story owns Kim Possible or Iron Chef or the plot of any James Bond movies. Not that we wouldn't like to.
"Ahhh! The Las Vegas Las Vegas Resort! And this time, we have reservations!" Dr Drakken called out in a sing song voice. "What do we want to do tonight?"
"I'm not sure about tonight, but for now, I want to catch some real rays, not the kind that we get in one of your lairs." Shego stated.
"Shego, there will be time for that later. I have plans for this afternoon. After all, with our budget as it is now, this will have to be a working vacation."
The henchmen merely looked disappointed, but Shego wasn't going to take this laying down.
"Oh please, you've gotta be kidding me. I'm not gonna nock over a casino and then hope they'll look the other way when we come the next night to gamble away the stolen money."
"Oh, Shego, were not going to attack a casino."
"Then what are we gonna do? Use diamonds to construct a giant laser and hold the world's cities ransom?"
Drakken was puzzled but this comment, and continued. "Remember that device we stole from Prof. Bortal? When you and Kim Possible got the modulators stuck to your necks?"
"The one that makes electronic devices more powerful?"
"Yes. I still have it, and I'm going to use it to supercharge the world's most powerful ice cream maker into a freeze ray of doom! And I'll use it to either take over the world, or make some more of those Fruity-Licky bars. Either way, we'll make a fortune."
"You know Dr. D, I think you've finally lost it."
"Does that mean you won't help?"
"Um," Shego had to think for a moment. This was a rare opportunity to opt out of a particularly hair brained scheme, but somehow, it didn't seem right. After all, there are only so many super villains out there, and none had a better dental plan than Drakken. Or were as cute. Did I just think that?
"Count me in. Where is this freezer, anyway?"
"The set of Iron Chef America. This is perfect. We're far from Middleton, if we're fast, Kim Possible and that buffoon of hers might not even catch us."
"Like she doesn't catch us when we're raiding a video game factory in Japan? Or like she doesn't catch us when we're attacking Area 51, which is, what 50 miles from here?"
Drakken growled, "Point for you, Shego. At least we're not in her home town, though."
Kim and Ron were in a world of their own. It seemed every one of Ron's dreams had come true in one day, except for the one where he beats the villains and doesn't lose his pants. Kim was ecstatic. She had helped the man she loved to do something important to him, and gotten engaged to the one person who she couldn't picture her life without. Life was beyond good. The two kissed, completely ignoring the still rolling cameras.
"I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later." Bonnie commented to Monique. Bonnie was rather happy for the couple, and even more so about the fact that she was part of the most dramatic episode of Iron Chef ever. They'll show me coming to the rescue of the two lovebirds every Valentines Day. She thought with a grin.
"Couldn't think of two more made for each other." Monique replied.
Bobby Flay and Alton Brown, the Kitchen Stadium announcer, we're sitting down, eating a leftover Neo-Naco. "These are good." Bobby commented. Flay wasn't renowned for being a good sport, but he had mellowed from his cutting board throwing days.
"And you won't find a better presentation if this show lasts fifteen seasons." Alton added.
It seemed that everyone in the stadium was happy, a remarkable occurrence. Producers were falling all over themselves ,shouting, "This is ratings gold! News item of the month, and we have the only footage!" The day couldn't have been more perfect, when…
BANG!
"Greetings, Kitchen Stadium! I've come to borrow a cup of sugar, and some of your equipment!"
"What the?" The eyes of all turned to the now ruined ceiling, and a round craft, and the blue man and raven haired beauty piloting it.
"Drakken!" Kim and Ron looked at each other, and prepared for a fight. They were accustom to odd battlegrounds, but this would take the cake.
"Dr. D! Look over there. Is that who I think it is?"
"No! It couldn't be! Well, no matter. After all, I've got henchmen!"
Shego looked at him, and blinked.
"Oh, alright. I have a new ray on the hovercraft, and you."
"Kim Possible, I don't know how you got here, but I know you'll be leaving in a full body cast!"
On the floor, something dawned on Kim. "Ron, we can't fight them now. If they have to attack, they might hurt the crew or audience."
Ron was perplexed. "What are we gonna do? We can't just run away!"
"Perhaps we can be of assistance." The two heroes turned to see the Chairman standing behind her, holding his sword. "I'm a master of martial arts, you know." Bobby Flay and Masaharu Morimoto joined him.
"You've…um." Kim was nervous. "Sure. We can use all the help we can get. We need a plan."
"I've got something." Ron spoke up. "The Chairman and I will be the distraction. Morimoto and Flay, can you make a fireball?"
"Of course. There's plenty of alcohol, and I have a couple matches on me." Flay replied.
"Good. That will get their attention. I'll give you a signal when I need you. Kim, you'll take down Shego and Drakken, as usual."
"Looks like someone's still in boss mode." Bonnie had crept over.
"Oh, Bon-Bon, you help Kim."
"Sure thing, boss."
With that, the three teams got to work. Ron leapt onto a counter, followed by the Chairman.
"Well, if it isn't the buffoon." Drakken called out. "Shego, get that freezer! Henchmen, take care of this pest." Drakken's henchmen had reached Ron, and it looked as though he would have to fight, when he called out, "NOW!"
At his word, a tower of flame shot into the air. This sight caused the henchmen to panic, any will to fight broken. Seeing this, Ron and the Chairman attacked, and brought down their foes with little difficulty.
Shego had reached the super freezer, and was in the process of disconnecting it when Kim grabbed her from behind. "Oh, sorry to interrupt your cooking show, princess, but I've got to pick this up now if I'm gonna hit the slots by nine!"
Shego smashed Kim against a counter, and turned around, her clawed gloves glowing. Kim rolled to the side, narrowly missing the blow, and delivered a swift jab to her adversary's stomach. Shego doubled over, and Bonnie kicked her to the side.
"Ron said I had to help you. Don't get too used to it."
Shego came back and knocked Bonnie to the ground. Kim swept the villeness' feet out from under her, and placeda foot firmly on her adversary's back. "Shego's down!" Kim called out.
"Henchmen are out too." Ron replied.
"Who's got Drakken?" Kim asked.
"Ha! I've got the freezer!" Drakken sang to himself. "You think your all that, but you're…" Drakken couldn't finish his trademark phrase before he was tackled by the two Iron Chefs. "I believe you have something that belongs to us." Morimoto smiled down at the conquered villain.
The police arrived shortly afterwards to take away the would be thieves. As they escorted Drakken and Shego to a waiting squad car, Drakken called out, "This is not over, Kim Possible! And, oh what's your name again? Stop something."
"It's Stoppable, and you had better remember it. Pretty soon, it's gonna be mine." Kim called to the villain.
"Did she just say what I think she did? My foe is going to marry her sidekick?" Drakken was stunned.
"Could this day get any weirder? This morning I was going to play blackjack and sit in the real sun, tonight I'm being taken to prison, and the princess and the buffoon are getting hitched." Shego just shrugged before she was placed in the car.
Ron and Kim looked around the room, surveying the damage. A generous portion of the roof was destroyed, and the floor was only a little better. Equipment was scattered across the floor, and scorch marks were visible here and there.
"I'm really sorry your studio's been wrecked." Kim apologized to the Chairman.
"Think nothing of it, Miss Possible. You were in no way responsible for the attack, and if not for your and Ron's quick thinking and skilled fighting, the damage, and injuries, would have certainly been far worse."
The only significant injuries had been a few sprained ankles and assorted minor burns, despite the considerable ferocity of the battle, and confined space.
"Thank you." Kim and Ron replied in unison. The Chairman continued.
"Today, you have fought with great honor and skill, first, as chefs, and then, as defenders of others. I wish you the greatest happiness in your future life together, and would like to present you with your first wedding present."
The couple glanced at each other and an assistant came over, holding a box.
"I'm sorry there has not been time to wrap it. You may open it now, if you wish."
Kim never was terribly good at waiting to open presents, and her nimble hands lifted the flaps, and pulled out…
"A toaster?" Ron said, surprised.
That's the end of Iron Ron, but not of this story. I'll start on the sequl, as yet unnamed, as soon as I can ideas would be appreciated. For now, I have to focus on "A Royal Engagement", a TT KP crossover, and on extending "the First Mission" by popular demand.
I also drew a picture to go with this story (not terribly good), that you can see by clicking on my homepage in my profile.
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to review!
