Author's Notes: Monkey Fist now has golden gloves. (looks at Monkey Fist pointedly)

Sasha: NOW READ! Oh, and please. -

A Dark Shadow crept around a corner, and checked its surroundings. It smirked evilly and rubbed its hands together. Everything was ready.

"We are in business."

Kim scructinized the shrine.

"Hm. Very nice. It looks like one we visited in Japan, though, right, Ron?"

Ron nodded eagerly.

"Yeah, and then you tripped over a cart 'cause Rufus startled you and I fell on you and the cart wheeled into the banquet room, splattering everyone with sushi…Haha ha!"
Kim made a face at the laughing Ron.

"We weren't invited back."
Ron coughed.

"Back to the main subject…"
The group walked into the shrine, observed their surroundings. The walls and floors were made of marble. Inscriptions covered the walls and steps that led up to another door. The marble near that door was covered by a long red carpet. Two statues were sitting by the door; a bearded man with sharp eyes. His long hair covered his back. He wore a long robe. A table covered by a scarlet cloth was on either side of the statue. The group could see their reflections in the shiny marble floors.

"Not bad," Shego commented, running her finger along the tables next to the statue, checking for dust. She found none.

"I've seen better."
Monkey Fist muttered. Rose shrugged.

"Well, let's go in."
The group headed through the door and everyone immediately ducked. Shego yanked the stunned Sierra down with her. Small cannons on the walls of the corridor spat large fireballs at them. Another door with steps leading down was at the end of the thirty foot long hall; it was clear of fireballs. That was their goal. When the fireball shooting didn't relent, everyone slowly inched their way back to the fireball free door and stood up.

"We're going to have do dodge them."
Rose stated, and began to handspring over and around the fireballs. Her moves were graceful, and she looked like she was doing a dance. Kim followed after her, dragging Ron. Shego did them same, Drakken holding tightly onto her. Sierra insisted that she go through by herself. She ducked, rolled, and flipped over the deadly fireballs and raised her hands in the air once she was done and safe.

"Ta-da!"
Everyone let out the breath they had been holding. Sierra scowled.

"I'm not helpless, you know."
She grumbled. Monkey Fist went through, and Kim turned on her Kimmunicator.

"Wade, I didn't know there were going to be booby traps around here."
Wade looked puzzled.

"There aren't supposed to be any booby traps. This shrine is supposed to be one of the safest places on Earth."
Kim grimaced.

"Well, unless the fireballs were a hologram, and the heat I felt coming from the fireballs was a special effect, this place is totally booby trapped."
Wade frowned and began scanning the shrine. He shook his head.

"Well, you're right; the whole place is rigged. Be on your guard, guys. Your target is about a half mile into the shrine. Be safe. Wade out."
Kim pocketed her Kimmunicator.

"You heard the man—"

"You mean the kid, right?"
Shego smirked. Kim glared at her.

"As I was saying, you heard the kid. We have to be on our guard. Let's go."

The soon-to-be-Dark Knights carefully made their way down the hallway, checking for anymore traps. None popped up until a giant dog head attacked them. It snapped at their heads and snipped off a strand of Ron's hair.

"Aw, come on!"
He complained. Rufus chattered in annoyance next to him. "Yeah, you're right, at least I have hair…" Kim glared at the two and backed away with everyone else into the doorway.

"What is that?"
Drakken shouted over the dog's roar. Kim beeped Wade.

"Wade, we're being attacked by a giant…dog with three heads, I think. Is it Cerberus?"
She pointed the Kimmunicator at the creature. Wade typed and squinted.

"Yeah, I think you're right…That's Cerberus…And there's another creature next to it."
Shego lit up the area with her glowing green claws. A shadow in the corner emerged. It appeared to be a giant purple four-legged creature with a snake head.

"Is that the creature from Hercules?"
"Yup," Wade confirmed.

"You mean the thing Hercules beat after chopping off all of its heads and crushing it in rocks after Hades ordered it to kill Hercules?"
Everyone stared at Shego. Shego scowled. "Someone had me watch Hercules with them over and over in the early days of their lives…" She glared pointedly at her daughter. Sierra smiled sheepishly.

"Hey, I was only a few months old and I wanted to know everything."
"You still do," Drakken pointed out. Sierra shrugged and then noticed her father's look. "I only shrank Commodore Puddles once and we weren't killed by the lab explosion with the mutated scoptopus, were we?"
"Half scorpion, half octopus," Shego added, noticing everyone else's quizzical looks.

"I have a feeling that you'll get along well with the tweebs," Kim muttered, "but anyways, back to the problem at hand." Everyone nodded.

"So what exactly are we going to do?"
Monkey Fist asked. Kim turned back to Wade. (A/N: You didn't forget about him, did you?)

"Well, for one, since you watched Hercules, you know well enough not to cut off the monster's head, so I suggest going for the stomach. It's really delicate."
Shego shook her claws and they burned brighter.

"I'm on it," she muttered, and took off.

"As for Cerberus, well…" Kim raised an eyebrow impatiently, "scratch behind his ears." Kim gaped at the boy genius.

"Are you kidding?"
She asked. Wade frowned.

"I don't kid about mythical creatures, Kim. He likes to be scratched behind the ears."
"Uh-huh, and exactly how are we supposed to even get near him, let alone his ears?"
Kim asked. Wade smirked.

"Let's just say that you'll need a…distraction…"
Almost everyone smirked back at him and turned to Ron, who was busy fixing his cut hair. He stared blanky back at everyone.

"What?"Approximately 13.5 seconds later…

"You have got to be kidding me."
Ron muttered. Rufus muffled snicker. Shego, now finished with the , finally broke the silence and broke out into laughter. Ron was dressed in a giant yellow cat suit. Cerberus growled and took after Ron, who headed for a wall. Rose was thrown (lightly) onto Cerberus's back and crawled up to his ears. The giant three-headed dog had now grasped the back of Ron's cat suit's neck and was shaking the teen side to side; Rose nearly fell off as he did this. She clutched at Cerberus's fur, and dove at his ears. Once she was safely on them, she desperately scratched behind them. Cerberus let go of Ron and whined happily.

"Koochee coo!"
Rose cooed, and continued to rub behind his ears. Kim smiled.

"I think we're safe."
She said. Rose directed Cerberus over to the group.

"Can I keep him?"
She asked sweetly. And everyone groaned.
