Chapter 5Delving into the Plan- Early Planning (Maybe)
Drakken had invited all of the villains to his newest lair via the vid-phone in the laboratory, and so far, only Monkey Fist and Duff Killigan had shown up; the Seniors were on their way, but no one else had confirmed receiving Drakken's message. However, ten minutes later, his bell rang. When he opened his door, he saw Adrenna Lynn, Motor Ed, and Gill. Five minutes later, Frugal Lucre and Fen arrived along with the Seniors and Drakken's perosnal adversary, Professor Dementor. Shortly after that, Drakken saw two other small timers, through his window, walk up to the lair: Jackie the Jackal and Falsetto Jones. Drakken had been keeping a mental count of all of the villains he had invited, and of those, who had shown up, but he lost count as the rest of them showed up; by now, all of the villains Drakken had invited had shown up.
At this time, Shego walked past the lab; she quickly turned around to leave as soon as she realized that everyone was there.
"Shego," she heard Drakken call her, but she didn't go into the lab. Once again he bellowed, "SHEGO! GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE, NOW!" Shego had never heard him so peeved and casually walked in the lab, trying her best to show that she had not a care in the world.
"Take a seat," Drakken ordered. She looked around and noticed the only vacant seat. She groaned inwardly because her seat was beside Drakken, directly in front of the other villains. Hesitantly, she took the seat beside him.
Drakken began, "Now, as you all know, I have invited you because I have a proposition for all of you." Everyone groaned. Drakken continued, "Just hear me out, alright? My plan... ugh... this plan," Drakken corrected himself, "Will not be successful without all of you." He looked at his audience and silently gulped at their withering gazes. 'You can get through this, Drew, ol' boy. Just pretend everyone here is someone you like... like Shego.' he thought.
Someone cleared their throat loudly, and Drakken heard Duff Killigan ask, "What is thees plan of yours, Blue Boy?"
Monkey Fist replied, "Yes, do enlighten us, Drakken." The whole room erupted into agreement.
"Well, this plan is going to take each and every one of us to make sure that it succeeds, some more than others," Drakken said, chancing a glance at his right-hand woman and partner in crime. He could hear someone groan and realized it was the aforementioned partner. Turning around quickly, so that he didn't start yelling at Shego, he faced the rest of the group.
"Drakken, we're waiting," Monkey Fist replied, growing more agitated by each passing second.
"I have been running calculations lately and performing computer analyses of all of Kim Possible's missions, even those of which I was not a part, and I've come to the conclusion that we have been going about it all WRONG! You see, our mistakes have ranged from trying to acheive world domination to trying to banish Kim Possible from existence, and you can't 'honestly' say..." he made air quotes on the word honestly and rolled his eyes, then continued, "...that you all have not tried at those types of attempts, just because the cheerleader and her buffoon have gotten in your way." Drakken paused to take questions, "Yes," he looked at a sheet of paper to get a name, "Mr. Wraithmaster."
"Mr. Drakken, did you say?"
Drakken began to get angry but counted to 10 in his mind before answering quite calmly, "Doctor, actually. What?" Everyone was beginning to feel unnerved around Drakken.
The Wraithmaster visibly and audibly gulped and continued, "My beef was with the Tunnel Lord, and we worked it out, so I no longer have a problem with Team Possible."
"No problem? Well, we'll just see about that. Shego, would you kindly take Mr. Wraithmaster, a 'civilian' as he wishes to be, to his Room?" The Wraithmaster gulped again.
"On second thought, Mr..." the Wraithmaster began. At Drakken's menacing scowl, he reconsidered, "Um, Doctor Drakken... uh, I c-c-caaan help out," he stuttered.
"Now, anyone else care to..." 'Try me,' he thought to himself but said, "...test my patience?" No one said anything, for fear that he'd threaten them as well. Even Shego knew when to remain quiet.
I chose this lair for a reason... multiple rooms. If you look down, you'll see maps with room assignments on them. Find your room assignment." He pushed a button, and his henchmen entered the room. "If you have personal possessions with you, like I told you to bring, you may leave them in here, with your name on them. My henchmen WILL..." Drakken emphasized 'will' to make sure his henchmen were paying attention; all of them flinched, and Drakken continued, "WILL bring your possessions to you in your room assignment. Your free to leave, but beware we will wake you at dawn to contiue this meeting. Meeting is adjourned. Shego, I'd like a word with you," Drakken finished. All of the villains and villainesses were filing out of the lab and toward their respective room assignment, grumbling. Shego stayed behind as requested.
Once the lab was empty except for its usual occupants, and everyone else was settling in for the night, Drakken began speaking, "Shego, my trusted assistant and best friend. How long have you been working for me?"
Already, Shego didn't like where this was going but replied anyway, "Uh, about three years. Why?"
"And would you say that we've met our fair share of challenges?" Drakken asked.
"Yeah," Shego trailed off.
"And that it's time for change?"
"Yeah," Shego said, trying to figure out what Drakken was up to.
"And, you've trusted me, thus far? Correct?"
"As much as a villainess can trust another villain," Shego answered.
"But you trust me?" Drakken prodded.
"FINE, yes, I trust you; where are you going with this, anyway?" Shego asked.
Drakken ignored her question; he turned his back toward her and continued his interrogation, "And how much do you like evil?"
The dark side is where I belong, Dr. D."
"And going back to the good side..." Drakken trailed off.
Shego hastily replied, "...has never been an option! What's with all the questions?"
Again Drakken ignored her question and asked one of his own, one which really threw his partner off guard, "How do you feel about ..." He waited for a reaction but received none and continued, "...red headed cheerleaders?"
Shego displayed only indifference on her face, but inside she was smiling and thinking, "SUH-WEET!' She was jumping for joy.
"You're dismissed for the night, Shego." Drakken said, clearly displeased with Shego's reaction. Shego went to her room, glowing.
