Chapter 2: Déjà Vu

Kim opened her eyes and found herself in one of Drakken's earlier lairs. Ron was beside her, and Drakken and Shego were across the room. There was a very familiar-looking laser cannon next to them.

"Where are we?" Kim asked herself. At that moment, the Kimmunicator beeped. Kim pushed the button and pulled it out of her pocket. Wade's face appeared.

"Kim! It's a trap-trap!" he said frantically.

"Um… what?"

"Shego left the mark so you would follow them! Get outta there!"

"Ya know, Kim, I get the feeling we've been here before," Ron said.

"Aha! My invention worked! We've been transported into the past!" Drakken declared. "Shego, fire that laser at them!"

"Wait a minute!" Kim shouted. "We're in the past?"

"Isn't that what I just said? Honestly, you people really need to learn to listen."

"How is that possible?" Ron asked.

"Like you would know, buffoon," Drakken replied.

"And you do?" Ron countered. Drakken lost his composure. Ron stared at him triumphantly.

"That's what I get for stealing the plans from Professor Dementor," Drakken muttered, sliding his hand across his face.

Meanwhile, back in the present, the Kimmunicator beeped. After repeating itself about five times, Wade appeared on the screen.

"Kim? What just happened?" he asked. When no response came, he used the flexible camera to look around the room. "Where is everybody?" Then he spotted the Retro-spectrometer. "Whatever happened, it must have involved this," Wade figured. He began a scan of the machine.

"Go ahead, fire the laser," Kim said sarcastically. "We all know what'll happen." As Drakken, Shego, and Kim threw around witty banter, Rufus was sneaking up on Drakken. He was about to attack when the device on Drakken's wrist sparked.

"OW!" he screamed. The shock had gone through his entire body. The machine started glowing. "No! Something's wrong with the RS!" Ron, Kim, and Shego had no idea what he was talking about. Before anybody had a chance to say anything, the device emitted a bright flash.

At that exact same moment, Wade was completing his scan of the RS. "Almost… what the?" The RS activated, covering the room in another flash of light. Wade's monitor turned off for a brief moment, and when it came back on, the data was gone. "That thing rebooted my computer before the scan was complete! Man… looks like I'll have to scan it faster." Wade typed faster than he had ever typed before.

This time, Kim opened her eyes to find herself backstage on American Starmaker. Oh no, she thought to herself. This must be when Drakken tries to sing! She realized she was in front of a mirror, holding a bottle of Drakken's brainwashing shampoo. She looked in the mirror and saw Shego jumping at her from behind. She dodged just in time, and Shego's foot smashed the mirror to pieces.

Outside, Drakken was standing on stage. The audience was staring at him, waiting for him to finish his song. From their point of view, he had just stopped singing right in the middle of his rap. Drakken looked around nervously. "Um… where was I?"

Kim remembered she still had the bottle of shampoo in her hand. Shego lunged at her again, but she dodged and emptied the bottle out on Shego's head. Shego's face went blank and she stopped moving. Suddenly, an idea popped into Kim's head. "Oh, this should be fun," she told herself.

Back on stage, Drakken was being pelted with rotten vegetables. "Leave me alone!" he shouted as he ran off stage. He ran right into Ron.

"Going somewhere?" Ron asked. Rufus stood on his shoulder with his arms crossed.

"Gah! Forget this!" Drakken shouted. He pushed a few buttons on his wrist, and back in the present, the Retro-spectrometer activated again. This time Wade had been expecting it, so he paused his scan of the machine. After themachine had flashed, he began his scan again with the same data he had started with.

This time, the four of them were in a large, brick red room with bird-shaped markings at the head of it. Along each side of the room were pillars, holding up the ceiling. One of the pillars had been knocked down, however, and there was rubble all over the place. Kim was lying on the ground in front of Ron. Shego was standing in the middle of the room, holding a glowing staff and changing different colors. That was all Kim needed to know to figure out where they were.

"We're in the lair of Aviarius," she told Ron. He helped her up and they turned to Shego.

"Oh, that's just great. She's got all those powers now!" Ron complained.

"Don't worry… I fixed her problem back at American Starmaker," Kim told him. At that moment, the room started shaking, and Drakken's giant robot smashed through the roof.

"Ah yes, I remember this," Drakken said to himself. Then, seeing everybody underneath him, he shouted, "Shego! Destroy them!"

Shego blinked a few times. "Why would I do that?" she asked. Drakken was totally confused. "If you ask me," she continued, "I should be destroying YOU!" With that, she multiplied herself and threw a bunch of green plasma bolts at Drakken's robot.

"SHEGO! What are you thinking?" Drakken shouted as the robot shook violently.

"What did you do to her?" Ron asked.

"I used the brainwashing shampoo to make her think she was a good guy," Kim responded.

"Nice!"

In the present, Wade had finished scanning the machine. He took a look at the statistics. "Whoah… this technology is highly advanced… designed to pull anybody within range into their own past! That's gotta be difficult. But, it shouldn't be too hard to get them back here." Wade examined the stats for any way to control the machine.

Drakken's robot started to cave in on itself from Shego's attacks. "Shego's gone mad!" he said to himself. "I've got to get out of this before…" He reached for the device on his wrist, but a loose wire fell from the ceiling and made contact with it first. Drakken received a huge electrical shock throughout his entire body, and the RS on his wrist started beeping. After screaming like a little girl, Drakken took a look at it. "What does it mean 'error'? How can there be an error?" His question was answered when the device activated, pulling him into a time that didn't exist.
