"Man," Ron commented as the two explored the castle, "Your ancestors came from one awesome place!"

"Thank you." Kim smiled, "I just hope Kennedy doesn't find it."

Just then, there was an explosion from outside.

"What in the world..." Kim gasped.

"C'mon!" Ron cried. He grabbed Kim's arm and lead her up to the tallest tower of the castle. Out the window, they saw Kennedy and his millitary soldiers, breaking through the castle's walls and taking out gold from inside.

Down below, there were also some allies held hostage.

"Ron," Kim said, "Isn't that Drakken and the others?"

Ron looked below. "You're right." He answered, "We gotta save them."

"But how?" Kim asked, "It's almost impossible!"

"Hey," Ron said, "Anything's possible for a Possible, your dad said, right?"

Kim bit her lower lip. "True..."

"Then, c'mon!" Ron cried, climbing over the window, "We can try to get under. I heard the bridges of Chrystallia are hollow."

"Okay." Kim nodded, and jumped out of the window.

The two walked cautiously on the roots that grew along the walls of the castly, and tried their best not to be seen.

"There they are!" Ron whispered, pointing in the direction of their allies. They were tied up at their wrists and ankles.

"I'll try to get in." Ron whispered, "You try not to be seen."

"Okay." Kim agreed, "Just be careful."

As Ron jumped over to the other side, Kim stood behind the carving loop in the wall, as Kennedy and two of the agents walked over from the other side.

Kim held her breath as Ron almost slipped on the smooth column.

"Don't worry," Ron whispered, "I'm okay!"

Kim quietly let out a soft sigh.

Then, Ron finally made it through the hollow part. When he poked his head out, he gasped. "Kim! Kennedy at 6 o'clock!"

"Huh?" Kim whirled around and screamed. She ran past the agents and was about to run past Kennedy until.

"Gotcha!" Kennedy smirked.

He grabbed one of Kim's braids. Kim screamed with pain. "Let me go!" she screamed as Kennedy tried to get a hold of her. She bit his hand.

"Yeow!" Kennedy cried. Kim was about to break for it until Kennedy grabbed her arm with his other hand.

"Ron!" Kim cried.

"Kim!" Ron cried, "Hold on! Gah!"

One of the agents shot a bullet across Ron's face.

Rufus poked out then screamed. He began chittering rapidly.

"Rufus, stay down!" Ron cried.

"He's in there!"

"Uh-oh." Ron screamed as bullets were shot rapidly into the hollow area.

Duff Killigan was lifted by the pressure. Of course, the others thought it was something else...

"Aye!" Duff Killigan snapped, as the others stared at him, "It wasn't me!"

"Yeah right..." Shego frowned.

"Yeow!" Duff Killigan screamed, "That's hot!"

Ron broke four blocks under Duff Killigan, through the open gap that his almost crossed legs created. "Hey, guys!" Ron whispered, "Listen, I'm gonna get you guys out!"

The hostaged allies just looked up at the sky, pretending nothing else was happening.

Ron took out a pocket knife and cut the rope on Duff Killigan's ankles. He ducked back under and made it behind the allies to untie the ropes around their wrists.

"Thanks, laddie." Duff Killigan thanked quietly.

"Pass the knife around." Ron answered, handing the pocket knife to Duff Killigan, "When you're all untied, try to go back to the jet. We'll meet you there."

"Thanks." Shego whispered.

"Hey!" Drakken hissed as his wrists got untied, "Wait! Take these!"

Drakken gave Ron a large cannon gun, with three refillables.

"Thanks." Ron thanked quietly.

"Good luck." Drakken whispered, "Meet us at the jet when you're ready."

"Got it!" Ron smiled. He crawled under the hollow bridge with the cannon on his back and the refills in his pockets, all the way to the inner part of the castle, where Kennedy had taken Kim with him.
