Chapter 7
Shego flew to Professor Dementor's lair in the hovercraft. She needed to get that adaptor for Drakken, and nothing would stop her.
She slashed her way through the new door he had just replaced. Like a rogue elephant, she charged through Dementor's lair, throwing his henchmen out of her way. She had only one thought in her mind. She must get that adaptor for Drakken!
Suddenly, she saw the adaptor sitting on a pedestal in the middle of an empty room. Rather than finding that odd, or trap-like, the way she normally would, she simply charged in the room and grabbed the adaptor.
Suddenly an alarm went off, the door closed behind her, and a strange gas seeped in through the vents. Before she could claw through the extra thick metal door, she passed out from the knock-out gas.
Several hours later, she awoke in Dementor's lab. She was chained to the wall in such a way that her hands were placed around her neck. If she lit them up to claw the shackles, she would burn her own throat. A clever trap, she thought to herself.
She had a headache again after waking up, and the effects of the mind-control shampoo had worn off.
"Dementor! Let me out of here!", she shouted.
"Ah… you're awake", said Dementor as he sipped a fancy drink. He held up the adaptor and said, "Is this what you were looking for?"
"What use do you have for the adaptor, when you no longer have the invisibility ray?", said Shego angrily.
"Oh, I'll get the ray back", said Dementor, "Your boss, Doctor Drakken will give it to me."
Shego laughed, "Drakken's not that stupid. What makes you think he'll give you anything?"
"If he doesn't give me the invisibility ray, then he'll lose his most valuable sidekick", said Dementor, finishing his drink.
Dementor snapped his fingers and a laser attached to the ceiling pointed at Shego.
"I think I'll go to my office now, and give Doctor Drakken a little phone call", laughed Dementor as he walked away.
Shego struggled in her shackles. She tried to pull her arms free but it wouldn't work. Suddenly she realized, if she could push her arms farther through, rather than trying to pull them out, she could get them away from her neck. She pushed with all her might until the shackles began to cut off the circulation in her arms. Her hands were now far enough away from her that she could safely light them up.
She slashed herself free from the shackles, made a flip in the air and destroyed the laser, then ran after Professor Dementor. It was payback time! She growled as she slashed through the door to his office, and he squealed in fright. He ran behind his desk, dropping his phone to the floor. Shego heard Drakken over the phone say, "Hello? Who is this? Hello?".
Shego picked up the short scrawny Professor Dementor, and flung him against the wall. She retrieved the adaptor from his pocket, picked him up again, and threw him out his window into the snow. She looked out the window to see him skidding down the mountainside on his back, and calling for help. She smiled and ran back to the hovercraft.
When she got to the hovercraft, after all the fighting was done, she remembered her date with Drakken planned for that evening. 'Why did I want to go on a date with him so badly?', she thought to herself. She remembered that morning she had suddenly wanted to be his girlfriend more than anything. It was odd the way she had been acting lately. She always had secretly thought Drakken was cute, but she had never planned to ask him out, when she knew she could get a much better looking guy.
She wondered why she had felt such strong emotions for him in the morning. Was she falling in love with him? With Drakken, of all people? She wondered why she was acting so weird around him recently. Lately, whenever she did anything to make him happy, it made her happy. Maybe she was falling in love?
As she flew back, she decided not to cancel her date with Drakken. She wasn't sure if she wanted to pursue a relationship with him, but she decided to give the date a chance. If she really was falling in love, she knew she would feel it in her heart that night.
