DISCLAIMER: You know, if it's called FAN FICTION, I think it's DAMN obvious I don't own any of this.

Janus walked through the lobby of MachiNex headquarters and into an elevator. He had left Shego in charge of Kim Possible with explicit orders not to harm her. He entered the elevator and entered four digits into the key pad and hit the button for the top floor.

Soon as the doors had cleared enough room to fit him, Janus made his way from the elevator to the office of the head of operations, Mr. Samuel Aester. Janus opened the large double doors into the dark room and lowered himself to one knee as the doors shut behind him, "I have come, Master."

The room became dimly lit with candles as the shape of a man in a business suit sat on an elevated platform in the middle of the room, "Welcome, my servant." The figured stepped down from the platform to reveal his face, thin and elegant and accented by dark sunglasses that were impossible to see through, "You may rise."

Janus stood up to look Samuel in the face, "We have secured the girl sir. She was an easy catch as you predicted. Shego was very reckless about it though."

Samuel stepped away from Janus and looked backward into the office, the darkness shrouded every corner leaving no opportunity to distinguish how large the room actually was, "She is simply drunk with her newfound power, and she will be humbled just as you were, my Servant. Though it is odd for you to show such concern."

Janus straightened up, "I just wanted to make sure she was healthy enough for sufficient torture methods."

"I do hope that is all you were worried about, I would hate to see this objective ruined due to an emotion from so long ago."

Janus tried to erase any expression from his face, "There is nothing left of my former life except for the hate I was left with."

Samuel walked up and placed his hand on Janus' shoulder, "Just remember how she embarrassed you, and after everything you did she abandoned you for that abhorrent worm."

Janus gritted his teeth at the memory, "I will make her suffer for you, Master."

"No, my servant, that task is being left to the good doctor. After she has suffered, you will break her last ounce of sanity. Once she is gone we can continue our operation without fail."

Janus turned his gaze to the floor, "What is our goal, Master?"

Samuel raised an eyebrow to Janus' curiosity, "That is not of your concern, servant. Now go and clean yourself, that disguise must be uncomfortable. We will meet in the Drakken's lab at midnight."

Janus bowed and walked out silently. As the candles went out around the room, Samuel removed his sunglasses to reveal his dark red eyes in the shadows, "Thus the beginning of the end starts."

From the Extremely Cluttered Desk of the Author:
I usually try to aim for three pages, but this one didn't need it really. Things are getting ready to take off, so keep checking in. I did go back the Parts 1-3 and change a few things to make the story flow better (Mainly Part 1, with a line or two in Parts 2 & 3).
