Classic Cowboy: Thank you! I'm glad you think that way.

Mr. Elliot: Well, I guess I was trying to make a continuation of my little series with the Curse of the Golden Monkey... but if it was, Rufus would be dead too.... Hmm... I guess I'll just have to change that... Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Chapter 3: Extinction Level Event

The room was dim and the only source of light there was, was the computer screen. Kim just turned the computer on and had to keep all of the lights off because she was supposed to be in bed. Instead, she decided to find out what E.L.E. was. Ever since the talk with the President, that mystery has been nagging at the back of her head.

She tried her best to keep the noise volume down as the computer connected with the phone line. The window was opened and the wind blew against the certains and made the room cool. It was the beginning of June, and that cool breeze was most needed.

Kim let out a sigh as her computer finally connected. Then she clicked search at the top of the browser that opened up another window. She typed in 'E.L.E.,' then pressed 'Search.' She waited as the search results finally appeared. "Hmm..." There seemed to be only one thing, and it had to do with Paleontology. "What does this have to do with anything!?"

Kim was a little confused, but clicked it anyway. It opened up and the initials 'E.L.E.' came up, then next to them came 'Extinction Level Event'. Kim gasped as she read on. "E.L.E.: Extinction Level Event!" Her eyes widened as some answers and questions built up in her mind. The tension grew more and more as she began to solve the puzzles. Then all of a sudden, she jumped and gasped as a hand grabbed hold of her shoulder. She quickly pressed a button on her computer that made it shut down immediately and turned to face the intruder. "Dad!?"

"Now Kimmie Cub, you know that you have to go to sleep!" Mr. Possible crossed his arms and looked down at Kim disappointed.

"Oh I know, I know..." Kim tried to search for an answer. "I just had to check my email. It only took a sec anyway."

"Well ok...." Dr. Possible sat on her bed and sighed. "But that's it, go to bed now, ok. Kimmie Cub?"

"Okay..." Kim sighed and looked down as she climbed into bed.

Dr. Possible leaned down and gave Kim a kiss on her forehead. "Good night Kimmie Cub." Then he slowly got up and walked down the stair.

Kim watched as her father disappeared from site. She pulled back her covers and laid down in bed. She had a feeling that she probably wasn't going to get much sleep tonight. She turned off her lamp and settled back down, the thought of 'Extinction Level Event' in her head. She decided that she would contact Wade in the morning and ask about it.

She tossed and turned in her bed, trying to get asleep. 11:00 turned into 12:00 and she was still wide-awake. "Maybe I should just call him now?" She sat up and took out her Kimmunicator. Then she called Wade. "Hey Wade?"

Wade rubbed his eyes and raised an eyebrow, a little bit surprised to find Kim awake. "Kim? ...What's up?"

"Well..." Kim scratched the back of her neck. "Can you do a search on E.L.E.?" She knew what it meant already, but she just wanted to make sure that it was correct.

Wade scratched his chin. "I don't know, Kim... That's highly classified information... ok, I'll do it."

"Wade, you rock!" Kim laid back down in bed. "I'll check back with you in the morning."

"Ok, Wade out." Wade's image disappeared from the screen as Kim put the Kimmunicator down on her night table.

Kim sighed as she closed her eyes and pulled the covers over her. Then she took out what looked like a toy that was half panda and half kangaroo, and hugged it as she finally fell asleep.

...

It was morning and the room became bright with the radiance that spilled in from the window. Kim had her face buried into her pillow so that the sun won't disturb her. The songs of birds filled the air as three little sparrows came and landed on her windowsill.

Kim groaned as she covered her ears. As much as she liked little sparrows, early morning was not the best time to hear them. She sat up and glanced over at the clock that stood on her night table. It read '8:00AM.' She wished that she could just go back to sleep.

She closed her eyes and laid back down as her dad came up the stairs into her room. "Hey Kimmie Cub. We have to eat breakfast early. The funeral is at 10:00. Maybe you can even ask Ron to come along?"

Kim sighed as she sat up in bed. "Yeah... sure...."

"Well come along Kimmie Cub. Breakfast is ready." Mr. Possible walked downstairs.

'I hate it when he calls me that,' Kim thought as she got out of bed. 'It's so childish!' She slipped off her nightgown and put on some tight-fitting blue jeans and a yellow shirt with a flower on it. She made her bed and put her diary away. Then she combed her hair and grabbed her bag as she ran downstairs.

...

Jim and Tim were already seated at the table as Mr. Possible and Kim entered into the kitchen. Mrs. Possible was, once again, making breakfast.

"I can burp louder!" Jim challenged as he made a repulsing noise.

"No, I can burp even louder! Watch this!" Tim sucked in air and made a loud revolting sound.

Kim glanced at them and cringed in disgust as she took her seat. They continued to burp. Then she shook her head slightly and sighed. "Mom! Make them stop!!"

"Jim!! Tim!!" Mrs. Possible put her hands on her hips. "What have I told you about making rude, repulsive, revolting noises at the breakfast table!!?"

"Sorry..." Jim and Tim simultaneously responded as they started to eat their toast.

Kim gave out a sigh of relief as she started to eat her breakfast that consisted of cereal, a piece of toast, and some apple juice. Then, as she was half way though, the Kimmunicator sounded. Kim knew what it was for. She took the Kimmunicator out of her bag and answered it, bringing it into the living room. "Hey Wade, what's up?"

"I did that search on E.L.E you wanted." Wade replied, a little bit concerned.

"And?" Kim persisted.

"E.L.E. stands for 'Extinction Level Event.'" Wade went on. "It talks about a comet that hit the Earth millions of years ago and caused the dinosaurs to go into extinction. Scientist say that there could be a comet heading towards the Earth's course right about now!.... But the path may change so it still isn't one hundred percent fact."

Kim's eyes widened. "Wade, we have to get that file back from Drakken! Where are his coordinates!?"

"In Virginia Beach. I'll hook you up with a ride in five minutes. Look for is right outside your door. Wade out." Wade disappeared from the screen as she put the Kimmunicator back into her bag.

"This is serious!" Kim went on. "No wonder the President needs that file back!!" Kim raced to the telephone. "I'll call Ron and tell him to come over." She picked it up as the familiar boyish voice came on the other end. "Hello, Ron?"

"Yeah? Hey KP! What up?"

"Ron I need you to come over now! We're going to get that file back from Drakken."

"Ok, I'll be right there!"

Ron hung up as Kim went to go outside. Mr. Possible tilted his head. "Kimmie Cub, where are you going?"

"I need to rescue a top secret file from Drakken for the President." Kim replied as she opened the door.

"Ok..." Mr. Possible went on as he scratched his head. "Just remember to meet back with us at 9:30 so we'll be ready for the funeral!"

"Okay...." Kim glanced at her watch that read '8:30.' "9:30 it is then." She went out the door and closed it firmly behind her.

Outside, Ron came running down the block with his little naked mole rat in hit pocket. "Hey KP!!" He ran up to her all out of breath. "I came as fast as I could!"

"Good..." Kim sighed as she turned to face Ron, speaking as low and quietly as possible. "Do you remember that secret file, E.L.E.?" Kim didn't know if she should even bother telling Ron about it. Then again, she felt like she just had to tell somebody!

"Yes...." Ron replied, expecting something really big coming. Rufus peeked out of his pocket and looked at Kim.

"Well..." Kim went on in a whisper. "E.L.E. stands for Extinction Level Event."

"U-huh...." Ron just wasn't getting it. Rufus made some dinosaur- like movements, and then pretended to get hit by a comet and die.

"Yes!" Kim exclaimed. "Like when the dinosaurs went into extinction because of the comet!"

"Oh....!" Ron shook his head finally understanding part of it, as Rufus smiled proudly. "And?" Ron asked.

Kim rubbed her eyes and sighed. "Never mind Ron, never mind...." Just then, a helicopter appeared in the sky and lowered itself down to the street. Kim and Ron walked forward as the doors to the aircraft opened. Kim stepped inside as Ron followed.

...

They flew up high in the air directly above Drakken's lair. It was on a large hill top right by the shore. The door to the helicopter was opened and Kim leaned by it, getting ready to jump. "Thank you again, Mr. Bowarki, for taking us all the way to Virginia Beach."

"Well it was the least I could do after you saved me from those mountains when it was below zero degrees." Mr. Bowarki replied gratefully.

"It was no big." Kim grabbed her bag and jumped through the door as Ron reluctantly followed. As soon as she jumped, she pulled a string on her backpack that opened up a huge parachute with the initials 'KP' on it. Then she glided towards the roof of the lair.

Ron was in a panic as he struggled to pull the string on his backpack. He covered his eyes as he plunged towards the water. Rufus climbed out of his backpack and pulled the string, just in time to land on the roof with Kim. Ron sighed as he patted Rufus on the head. "Thanks little buddy."

Rufus chuckled. "Hehe No big."

"Come on!" Kim tied the end of a rope to a pole, and then pulled it to make sure it was secure. She signaled for Ron to follow as she started to climb down the wall.

...

Inside the lair, Drakken was busy gloating about taking over America. Shego was hardly paying attention. She highly doubted that Drakken would actually succeed in taking over America anyway. She just focused her attention on the magazine she was reading and pretended to be listening. "Yeah... u-huh... Hmm..."

"Ha! And I will change it from America to.... Drakkena!" Drakken smiled, getting all excited and jumpy.

Shego hated that name. "Uh.... Yeah, sounds great Dr. D...." She replied sarcastically. She still couldn't decide which one was worst. Drakkanada or Drakkena? Both of them sounded bad, but Drakkena just sounded lame!

"Isn't it!!?" Drakken commented happily.

"...Oh brother...." Shego commented under her breath while rolling her eyes.

Just then, the window shattered and pieces of glass flew everywhere as Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable flew into the room. "Hand over the Secret File Drakken!!!"

"KIM POSSIBLE!?!?!?" Drakken backed away and grabbed the file, holding it tightly in his grip. "SHEGO, ATTACK!!!"

Shego glanced back at Drakken and gave him a funny look before charging. Then she lit up her ray gloves and attacked. Kim flipped backward, just missing a blow from her ray gloves, then sent a roundhouse kick to her side. Shego quickly blocked it and tried to swipe Kim's arm. Kim's flexibility came in handy as she spun herself to Shego's side and kicked her in her hip.

Ron watched as the too ladies fought eachother. Then he turned and found Drakken holding the file. He let Rufus out of his pocket as he went to get the file.

Drakken smiled as he watched Shego fight Kim. Then he turned around as saw Ron charging towards him. He just simply sidestepped him, causing him to crash into the wall.

Drakken laughed at the site. Then Rufus came and ran into his suit. Drakken laughed hysterically as the rodent tickled him. Then Ron took the file from him and started to run. "Come on Rufus!!"

Rufus jumped out of Drakken's sleeve and followed Ron. "KP, I've got the file!!!" Ron ran towards the window where the helicopter hovered, waiting for them to return.

Kim back flipped, getting away from Shego and ran towards the window with Ron. Ron handed her the file as she jumped onto the rope ladder that dangled from the helicopter. Ron ran back into the lab and went by the buttons. "And now to ice the cake!"

Ron pressed the big shiny red button that was labeled 'Self Destruct,' and then he ran and joined Kim on the helicopter.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Drakken yelled as he dropped to his knees. "THAT'S THE FOURTH LAB YOU'VE DESTROYED THIS WEEK!!!! .....Secret Labs aren't cheep you know!!!!"

"Come on Dr. D!!" Shego grabbed onto Drakken and pulled him into the jet. Then they flew away from the lab as Drakken yelled out. "WE WILL MEET AGAIN!!!!!"

Kim and Ron took their seats in the helicopter as they flew away from the lab. From a distance they saw the reds, yellows, and oranges of the explosion. Fortunately, the lab was isolated and away from the town so the explosion didn't really disturb anyone.

"Ok, It's 9:15. I have 15 minutes to get back to the house and prepare for the funeral." Kim turned towards the pilot. "Do you think we can speed things up?"

"Sure!" Mr. Bowarki replied as he made the helicopter fly faster.

Then Kim turned towards Ron. "Hey, do you want to go to the funeral home with me? I could use some company! It'll only take an hour or so. Then maybe after we can head over to Bueno Nacho."

Bueno Nacho sure got Rufus and Ron's attention. "Sure KP, I'll go with you... Anythin for family and friends. "

"Thanks." Kim replied as they neared Middleton. She got her things together as the helicopter lowered itself by her house. She opened the door and turned to the pilot before getting out. "Thanks for the ride. Bye" She slid out and walked towards her house.

"Yeah, bye!" Ron said as he climbed out of the helicopter and followed Kim. The pilot waved good bye as the aircraft rose up into the air and flew away.

...

Kim opened the door to the house and walked in with Ron following. She closed the door behind her and saw her mom cleaning up in the kitchen. "Hey mom."

"Hey Kimmie, hey Ron." Mrs. Possible replied.

"Hey Mrs. Dr. P." Ron called out as he followed Kim into the living room. He saw Kim pick up the telephone with the secret file on her lap. "Whacha doin KP?"

"I'm calling the President to tell him that we retrieved the secret file." Kim replied as she started to dial the number.

"The President gave you his phone number!?" Ron exclaimed.

"...Yes..." Kim held the phone up to her ear. The phone rang a few times before someone actually picked up. It was the President.

"Hello? Please state your name."

"Kim Possible." Kim stood up straight as though she was being interviewed.

"Ah, Kim Possible! Did you get the file back?"

"Yes I did, Mr. President." Kim held up the file that was labeled E.L.E.

"Great! I'll send someone over to get it now."

"Now?" Kim asked a little surprised at how fast he was taking action.

"Yes, I'll have someone over right away. Remember, do not tell anyone about E.L.E. .... at least until tomorrow."

"You can count on me!" Kim replied.

"Thank you again. Good bye."

"Bye." Kim put down the phone and turned to Ron who had his eyes fixed on the Secret File.

"So.... What's in that thing anyway?" Ron asked, getting up and walking closer towards Kim. "I'm sure that we can just take a small peek."

"No!" Kim sharply responded, pulling the file away from him. "This is highly conventional stuff! It wouldn't be right if we read the government's secret files!"

Ron folded his arms and frowned, still looking at the file. They waited a few minutes without saying a word. Ron kept his eyes fixed on the file, and Kim kept her eyes on him. Then Ron smiled. "Can I just take one intsy little...."

"No!" Kim replied quickly.

Ron tried again. "Please......"

"No!" Kim replied in a monotone voice.

Ron sighed as he started to twiddle his thumbs and whistle. Then, all of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Kim got up with the file and went to answer the door. Standing outside were two heavy built men all in black, wearing dark sunglasses. They looked much like the men that brought them to the White House. "Miss. Possible?" One of the men asked.

"Yes?" Kim replied, hiding the file behind her back.

"We were sent from the President to retrieve the E.L.E. file." One of them held out his hand, expecting to get the file.

"Ah, here you go." Kim handed him the file and they bowed.

"Thank you, the President is most grateful." Then they went back to their jet and flew away. Kim closed the door when they left and returned to the living room with Ron.

Well, there it is. I apologize for the fight scenes being so dull. I might not be abe to update for a while, so just be patient with me, ok? Allright then... R&R Good day.
