Greetings again… I see that my last chapter was approved. (Sigh of relief) ah good… I wasn't so sure if people would absolutely detest it or enjoy it… Well, with all that being said, I bring you the next chapter! I hope the length of this chapter will make up for my dreadful lack of updating. Enjoy.
AR:
Jerry Unipeg: WHY, THANK YOU! You are most kind!
Freida Krueger: lol Yeah, Ron's voice probably did go all squeaky! Poor Kim! …For once… I feel sorry for her… lol ;) And thank you for being patient.
The ShapeShifting Chick: lol Yeah, in the movie 'Deep Impact', those little rocket thingies are actually called the "Titans"! Cool, huh? Well, yeah I know what you mean about the whole wedding thing. I was just trying to make some similarities with DI (Deep Impact) …You know, when the teenaged guy who looks like Frodo and the girl get married? That's why I thought it would be good to have Kim and Ron get married. Sorry if it was a little too freaky for ya.
captaincodak1: Splendid! Yes, for once Kim helps Ron. It was quite difficult to put all that in one chapter! I had to do a few cutting out and such. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
scubagurl: Hmm… I think Kimmie is a little bit unsure as well. Maybe she pretends to be unsure… Maybe she just didn't want to admit she loved Ron… hmm…. Very interesting….
Gruffudgirl91: (smiles) Why thank you! You really know how to leave nice, pleasant, polite reviews! ;)
Alaksandra: (jumps up and down) Yay! I wasn't too sure if you would like it, so I was a bit hesitant to put it up, but your response proves otherwise! Thank you!
Midnight Moonfox: Yes, it was hard to keep those two love birds in character! Trust me! lol Well… I updated!
- Please do not forget to leave a Review. Thank you.
Chapter 10: The Alliance of Adversaries
It was night. Rain poured down heavily as lightning crashed to the ground in sparks of light. Thunder roared furiously as the storm grew worse. Ron was home now with Kim, away from the crowd at last. Kim decided that it would be best to stay at Ron's house for the night, due to the annoyance of her younger twin brothers. Plus, Ron's parents decided to go away on vacation for three days, leaving them the house. They were peacefully seated on the couch watching a movie while eating popcorn. The movie of choice was "Romeo and Juliet".
Rufus sneaked out of Ron's pocket and made his way to the popcorn bowl while Kim and Ron focused on the movie. "Yum… Popcorn!" He dived into the bowl and started devouring everything in sight, spilling popcorn everywhere.
Kim gasped and jumped up from the couch. "Rufus!" She sighed and put her hands on her hips as she stared down at the little naked mole rat who was now sitting down comfortably in the now empty bowl of popcorn.
Rufus shrugged. "Sorry…"
Ron put the movie on pause. "And right when we're getting to the balcony scene! …oh well… Do we have any more popcorn?"
Kim sighed and looked up. "Well, I'm already up… I might as well make some more…"
"I'll go with you." Ron lifted himself up off the couch and followed Kim into the kitchen. Rufus jumped down from the couch and followed Ron. "It sure is a stormy night!" Ron peeked out the kitchen window that stood over the sink and shuddered a little. "I mean… it's not like I'm afraid of thunder or anything.…" Just then lightning struck the ground in the distance and thunder roared fiercely in the background. Ron yelped and jumped behind Kim, shuddering with fear. Rufus slowly shook his head pitifully.
"Riiight…" Kim opened the pantry door and pulled out a bag of popcorn. Then she popped it into the microwave and put it on for two minutes.
Ron took a seat down on one of the stools placed besides the kitchen counter. "It's a shame that Frederick had to go on that mission…" Ron commented out of the blue.
Kim raised an eyebrow, a little surprised at his sudden comment, then walked over to him and took a seat on one of the stools. "I'm sorry Ron…"
Rufus climbed up on the table and sat down next to Ron. "I mean…. Come on! Frederick just got home from his last mission! They couldn't even give him at least a one year break? That's ridiculous! …And now… …he's gone…." Ron sighed and wiped away the one tear that dripped down from his eye. "…he's gone….."
Kim laid her hand on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry Ron… I knew how much you loved him… He was a good friend…." Rufus crossed his arms and looked away. Kim noticed the rodent's attitude. "Well at least you still have Rufus?"
Ron rubbed his eyes and looked up. He let a smile filter across his face. "True… At least I still have my little Rufus Buddy! Come here boy…" He picked up the small pink rodent and embraced him in a hug.
"Aw… how sweet…" Kim commented. Just then a beeping noise came from the microwave. "That's probably the popcorn. I'll go get it…" She stood up from the stool and went over to the microwave.
Ron glanced out the window again. The rain was still coming down heavy. It was nine o'clock now. The night was still young. Kim came back with a fresh hot bowl of popcorn. Rufus licked his lips and smiled. "Mmm… Popcorn! Yum…"
"Now Rufus, you already ate the last bowl of popcorn so this bowl is just for Ron and me! Okay?" Kim stared down at the little naked mole rat.
Rufus pouted and crossed his arms. "…okay…"
"Good… Now let's go enjoy the movie." Kim started to enter into the living room when all of a sudden, something stopped her. She stood still and glanced back at Ron. "Do you hear that?"
Ron glanced at Rufus who merely shrugged. "Hear what?"
"That humming sound…. It's getting louder…." She laid the popcorn down on the table and looked around the room, searching for the source of the noise.
"I don't hear anything…" Ron glanced to the side. "Maybe it's just you, KP?" Rufus shrugged. "Wait…" Ron faced Kim. "I think I'm hearing it too…" What sounded like tumbling rocks and fierce wind came from outside. "What's happening?"
Just then a loud crash came from the backyard. Pieces of rock and debris flew at the window as the lights twitched. Kim and Ron glanced at each other then raced into the kitchen and peered out into the backyard, trying to see through the rain. Buried halfway in the ground in a little crater of dirt was what seemed to be a spacecraft.
Kim and Ron exchanged glances of bewilderment as they stepped back from the window. Rufus was seated on Ron's shoulder. Then, the doorbell rang. Ron raised an eyebrow. "Who could that be? …..Should we answer it?"
Kim started to walk towards the door. "Well there's only one way to find out!"
As they crept towards the door, the lights twitched off. Ron glanced frantically around the dark room. "This reminds me of one of those scary movies when kids like us are left alone in the house on a stormy rainy night… just like this one…." Ron started to quiver as he moved closer to Kim. "Then some creature or killer appears at the door and kills them all!"
Kim, a little disturbed by Ron's comment glanced back at him with wary eyes. "Don't worry… there's nothing to be afraid of…" The doorbell rang once more. The door was right in front of them now. Lightning flashed as thunder roared once more. Kim stopped, gathering up the courage to answer the door. Then, she closed her eyes turned the doorknob and swung the door open.
Lightning crashed to the ground as a creature stood before them in a space suit breathing heavily, the light glowing off of him. They screamed and moved back as thunder roared in the distance. The creature wobbled back and forth, ready to fall. Two words came forth as he pressed something on the arm of his suit. "Need… help…." Then he leaned forward and collapsed in the doorway.
Ron's hazel eyes grew big as he finally realized who the creature was. "Frederick?"
The sun was finally out. The ground was still moist from last night's rain accompanied by the morning dew. Birds chirped happily as they played around in puddles of water. Ron was already up making breakfast. After all, he did know how to cook fairly well. Kim was still in bed, but was already starting to stir.
"Breakfast is almost ready!" Ron called from the kitchen as he flipped a pancake over. Rufus watched from the table, his mouth drooling with hunger.
"…Alright! I'll be right down!" Kim called from upstairs. Then she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready.
Frederick was still out cold lying down on the couch, but he was not dead, just exhausted. Kim came downstairs dressed in a pink top with a red heart in the center along with a pair of black shorts and some red flip-flops. "Is Frederick still sleeping?" She took her seat at the counter.
"Yup... Still out cold..." Ron placed a plate of pancakes and bacon before her and took his seat next to her.
"Wow…" Kim looked at the food Ron made for her. "What a lovely breakfast Ron!"
"Aw… No big!" Ron winked and smirked a bit. Rufus had his own plate now. He picked up the syrup bottle and poured it over his pancakes then started to eat them. Ron glanced back at Kim while pouring himself a drink. "So how do you think Frederick got here?"
Kim shrugged. "I don't know…" She took the syrup bottle from Rufus and started to pour it over her pancakes as well. "Oh! I almost forgot! We should call my Dad and tell him that Frederick's alive!"
"Yeah, after all Mr. Dr. P was the one who was somewhat in charged with Frederick... Man! I need to get used to him being my Father-In-Law!"
Kim smirked a bit at his comment. "Don't worry, he's not so bad. So… is it alright if I call now?"
"Uh… Sure… if you want?" Ron took a bite of his bacon strip.
Kim lifted herself off the chair and walked over to the phone, picking it up and calling her home phone number. The phone rang on the other line. Mr. Possible went over to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey, Dad, it's me!" Kim replied.
"Kimmie Cub! How are you?"
"Uh…" Kim was about to comment about the name, but decided that it would take away from the main reason she called. "You'll never guess who came ringing our doorbell last night!"
"Who?"
"Frederick!"
Mr. Possible was shocked. "Frederick?"
"Yes! Frederick!" Kim replied. "We heard a huge crash last night and it looked like a shuttle had landed in the backyard! Then Frederick appeared at the front door!"
Mr. Possible was still amazed. "So he's alive? Can I talk to him right now?"
"Um… no, not right now…. He's still sleeping. When he came, he was exhausted and collapsed in the doorway of the front door. He should be waking up soon though…"
"This is amazing!"
Mr. Possible exclaimed. "He must have found the emergency escape
shuttle in the back of the spacecraft!"
"What?" Kim asked.
"In the spacecraft 'Savior' we decided that it would be good to install an emergency escape shuttle in the back just incase any problems arose and they had to evacuate. Unfortunately, we were only able to install one. Frederick must have found out about it and escaped before the spacecraft exploded."
"Wow…" Kim commented. "So that's how he got here..."
"Well I got to go to work, so I'll talk to you later, but when Frederick wakes up please have him call me, or, even better, just bring him over to the Space Center. We will be having a meeting there. Okay?"
"Sure... Bye dad."
"Bye Kimmie Cub."
Kim hung up the phone and turned to face Ron. "Well at least now we know how Frederick got here… He used the emergency escape shuttle to get away from the explosion."
"I always knew he was a smart monkey." Ron commented.
"…But when he wakes up, we need to bring him over to the Space Center… I guess my dad wants to talk to him..."
"Aw man!" Ron crossed his arms. "I was planning on bringing him to Bueno Nacho!"
"Well…" Kim glanced down at Rufus who humorously had on the same expression as Ron. "Maybe we can go to Bueno Nacho after? I think Dad's meeting with Frederick is urgent…"
"Well okay…." Ron picked up his plate and threw it in the sink. "At least we'll be able to have some fun with him!" Rufus nodded his head in agreement. "Now we just need to wait until he wakes up…."
Everything was dark. Nothing was seen. Nothing was heard. There was nothing except darkness. Ah, but there is a sound! …One of a beating heart, a sound of breathing, a sound of life: inhale, exhale ….inhale… exhale… …inhale…. …exhale… …inhale.… ….exhale…… Then, another sound emerges from the darkness, one of human voices. Then feeling comes! The ability to feel! …Something cool, damp and wet on the forehead… Slowly but surely the darkness melts away. There is light! There are blurred forms of people. The forms become clearer. There is a girl and a boy, a redhead and a blond, Kim and Ron… "…I am alive?"
Kim patted a damp, wet cloth on Frederick's forehead. "Yes. You're alive… miraculously."
"Frederick!" Ron yelled out. "You're alive!" Ron jumped up to Frederick and embraced him in a bone crushing, life-sucking, constricting hug. "I missed you soooo much! I thought you were gone! …Gone forever!"
Frederick's eyes twitched as his body quivered. His hand strained to press the buttons on the arm of his suit. "Frederick… can't… breathe…."
"Oh…" Ron let loose of Frederick's body and let him jump to the floor. "…sorry…."
Then Frederick came up to Ron and hugged him and Rufus together in a group hug. "Frederick missed Ron and Rufus..."
"Aw…Now that is sweet…" Kim smirked. Then she got up and stretched. "Well, we need to get Frederick to the Space Center now. It's been four hours since I've spoken to Dad. We better get a move on…"
"Aw man! Do we have to leave right now?" Ron waved his hands frantically in the air. "I mean… Frederick just woke up!"
"Don't worry… You'll have plenty of time together with Frederick after the meeting at the Space Center. …And… you can take him to Bueno Nacho too."
"Hmm…" Ron looked down at Frederick who merely smiled back in response. "Well okay… the sooner we get this done the better…." Rufus climbed up Ron's pants and slid into his pocket ready to go.
"Frederick ready…." The simian astronaut got up and held Kim and Ron's hand. "We go now?"
"Alright. Let's go…" Kim opened the front door and walked out, followed by Frederick, Ron, and Rufus.
The room was cool and bright. A rather large table was laid upon the blue-tinted tile floor in the center of the room. Mr. Dr. Possible was seated there along with Bob Chen and three other men who were involved with the building of 'the Savior." They were Dr. Frehence, Dr. Smith, and Dr. Clark.
The front door was unlocked so Kim and Ron were able to walk in without any trouble. Frederick followed quietly behind. They entered into the room and took their seats besides the others. The men that were present had heard about Frederick being alive, but to witness it was still amazing. They stood up as they entered in to acknowledge their presence. Then they gradually took their seats.
"Well..." Mr. Possible concluded once everyone was settled. "I'm sure you are all wondering why I have gathered you all here today… As you all know, the shuttle 'the Savior' has failed, but there is still the question that we all are and have been debating… Is there anything else we can do? Well…."
"There isn't!" Dr. Frehence shouted out. "You heard what the President said! And besides, we don't even have another shuttle! Or even an astronaut to drive it!"
"Correction…" Mr. Possible laid his hands down on the table, already out of his seat. "That is not completely accurate… We do have Frederick!"
"Yeah….. But we need a shuttle!" Dr. Frehence angrily shouted. "Otherwise it's pointless to have the astronaut!"
"Hey Dad…" Kim decided that she was tired of keeping quiet. "Don't you still have that rocket you made? You know… the one Frederick and I used to save Ron? That might work!"
"Yes…" Mr. Possible rubbed his chin and looked to the side. "But I'm not too sure that shuttle can handle this kind of mission…. This is different…. Very different….."
"Well…" Kim glanced back at Frederick and Ron. "We can always give it a try?"
"'We'?" Mr. Possible stood up straight, facing Kim. "What do you mean by 'we'?"
"Well…." Kim slowly stood up from her chair. "We, as in Ron and I…. Along with Frederick….of course…."
"Me!" Ron's hazel eyes grew big. "…..Us?"
"A cheerleader?" Dr. Clark commented. "A cheerleader is going to fly an untested shuttle up into space and blow up the comet?"
Mr. Possible's eyes narrowed and fixed themselves right on Kim. "There is NO way my little girl is going to go on a life threatening mission in space to blow up a comet!"
Kim got up and held her father's arm. "…But dad!..."
"The answer is NO! Absolutely not!" Mr. Possible turned away from Kim and started to walk a bit in the opposite direction, facing Kim again after three steps. "Look… …I know that you go on deadly missions all the time to save the world, but this is different!"
"How?" Kim put her hands on her hips. "How is it different?"
Mr. Possible sighed and stood still, silence lingering around the room. Then he turned around and put his hands on Kim's shoulders. "Because….. …I could loose you…."
Kim looked up into her father's big brown worried eyes. She never really saw him so concerned before… so anxious. She didn't really know how to reply. She lowered her head and wrapped her arms around her father's waist. "Oh dad… I know I can do it!" She sighed and looked up at her loving father. "…You're just going to have to trust me…."
Mr. Possible sighed and looked back at his daughter. She wasn't his little girl anymore. She was a young lady now. "I guess I just can't keep you little forever… No madder how hard I try… You're going to have to grow up someday… make your own life changing choices… and learn from your mistakes… Why look at you! You're already married! ….I guess I just can't really accept the fact that you're a woman now… a young lady of integrity… And in growing up… you're going to have to take your own responsibility for your own actions… If you want to work at a restaurant, you go work at that restaurant! …If you want to become president of the United States, go get 'em girl! And…… ….if you want to go out there in space on that mission, as dangerous as it may be….. I.… won't be the one to stop you…." Mr. Possible sighed and lowered his head. "….But I want you to know that.… I'll always love you, and I'll always be your loving dad.…"
Kim smiled and wiped away a tear that had fallen as her father was speaking. She went up to her dad and embraced him. "I love you too! …And I'll always be your little girl.…"
A tear drop fell from Mr. Possible's eyes as he hugged his daughter and sighed. Then he closed his eyes shut and swayed back and forth. He didn't want to let go of his little girl. It felt like it would be the last time he would ever have her in his protective arms. After a moment or two he gathered up the courage to let her go. He sighed and then took his seat as Kim did the same.
"Now that we have an astronaut and possibly have a ship…. How on earth are we going to destroy the comet?" Dr. Frehence angrily protested. "We don't have any more of the 'Moles'! We gave all of them to the first astronaut team. Also, we don't even have enough people for a team! We just have a boy, a cheerleader and a monkey! That surely isn't enough!..."
"I might be able to help with that.…" An unknown voice called out from the shadows. It sounded like it came from the door. Then out of the darkness, two figured emerged. The one in the front, who was the owner of the voice, was dressed in a dark blue lab coat that came down to the knees with black gloves and boots. He had black hair tied back in a pony tail, black eyes, and blue tinted skin.
Kim's eyes grew wide with shock as she realized who the person was. "Drakken?"
The figure besides him was a slim young lady dressed in a green and black jumpsuit with long flowing jet black hair, green eyes, and light pale green-tinted skin. She rolled her eyes and sighed.
Kim jerked back, even more taken aback. "Shego?"
Shego sighed. "Don't look at me! It was genius' idea over here…" She pointed at Drakken, her other hand on her hip.
Ron seamed to be just as shocked as Kim was. Dr. Frehence cleared his throat and faced the two intruders, not really shocked or amazed by their presence. "Dr. Drakken and Shego I presume… I saw you two on the news once before…" then he turned back to Mr. Dr. Possible. "Well… I suppose this assumingly 'mad scientist' would be able to create some sort of twisted way to destroy the comet, but we are still short in people on the team. We need at least five! …And the monkey does not count! Just one more person should do it….."
"I do believe that I would be of some assistance in that case…." A mysterious voice called out from the door, laced with an English accent. Then the owner of the voice stood up into the light. He was dressed in a formal black and white suit with a red bow tie, much like the other men present sitting around the table except for Dr. Possible. Dr. Possible was the only one there besides Drakken who was wearing a lab coat. The man was also wearing fine leather boots and white gloves, concealing his simian features. He had blue eyes, dark brownish black hair that was combed forwards, and aristocratic features.
"Monkey Fist!" Ron jumped up out of his seat. "AHH!"
"Calm down…" The English lord walked up to where Shego and Drakken remained standing. "I'm not going to kill you today.…"
"And who are you?" Dr. Frehence asked rather rudely.
"Lord Monty Fiske at your service…" He bowed slightly, trying to act proper.
Kim was still sitting in her chair, shocked. "How? Where?... Why?"
"Well…." Drakken glanced back at Shego who turned away from him rudely and sighed, clearly showing her resentment for the whole idea. Then Drakken turned to face Kim again. "To be purely honest… there is no point in ruling the world if there is no world to rule over so…… I decided that it would be a good change to save the world for once…."
"…And that is precisely why he tripled my paycheck!" Shego commented. "Otherwise I would have quitted by now!"
"By the way…" Drakken backed away from Monkey Fist, leaning closer to Kim. "Monkey Boy over here isn't with us. I don't know how he even got here!"
Kim frowned. "I don't know how any of you got here!"
"Well…" Monkey Fist walked over towards the table and took a seat. "Unfortunately, I would have to agree with Dr. Drakken about his statement concerning the world being destroyed. Besides… it's pointless to just stay put where you are and die when you can do something yourself and save the world while possibly preventing your death. …And even if you do so happen to loose your life, it's better to die knowing that you tried something than to die knowing that you have done absolutely nothing whatsoever."
Ron got up and moved all the way to the opposite end of the table away from Monkey Fist, keeping as much distance away from him as possible. Frederick did the same. Kim shook her head as she returned to her seat. "Urg! This is SO wrong!" She turned and faced her enemies. "I mean… I appreciate your help and everything but… this is just too weird!" Then, it hit her. 'Wade hasn't called for a really long time… I wonder if something might be up. Maybe he can give me the super genius take on this… I'm not too sure if they really want to help or are just planning this to take me on alone…' "Um… excuse me please…" Kim got up and walked out of the room, taking her bag with her.
Ron slouched down in his seat, trying very hard to appear invisible. Drakken and Shego finally took their seats as well next to Dr. Clark. Dr. Possible sat and waited patiently at the head of the table while everyone else remained silent. Finally, someone spoke up.
"So…" Dr. Frehence began, facing Drakken. "How do you plan to destroy the comet anyway?"
"Well…" Drakken smiled evilly, rubbing his hands together. Shego turned away and took out her nail file. "First of all, I finally altered my doomsday device for zapping through glass! One we get close enough to the comet, I will activate it and it will totally disintegrate the comet! Then I will rule the world! Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"Um pardon me…" Monkey Fist glanced at Drakken slightly, without making eye contact. "But you won't be able to rule the world during this current process.… And another thing… there isn't anything evil about disintegrating a comet that is heading directly towards earth… in fact… it's quite heroic…."
Drakken frowned. "FINE! Be that way! Ruin everybody's fun!"
Monty raised an eyebrow, then turned away and closed his eyes. The room was quiet once again… perhaps a bit too quiet….
Kim clicked her Kimmunicator on and waited for Wade to respond. The screen remained blank with no motion whatsoever. "Come on… come on…" Finally, after a few minutes, the familiar chubby, dark skinned boy appeared on the monitor. "Ah, Finally! Hey Wade…"
"Hey Kim… What's up?"
"Uh…" Kim looked up, not really ready to tell the whole story yet. "I'll tell you my sitch later, right now, can you please tell me why you haven't been sending me on missions lately? I can't even remember the last time you called! Is something up?"
"No nothing's up… In fact, it's just the opposite. There hasn't been any criminal action lately. It's like they all just stopped…."
"Well… I have big news for you! First of all… I'll be going on a mission into space to stop the comet, Frederick is alive, Ron and I got married, we needed at least five people to go on our mission and guess who shows up at the door! Dr. Drakken, Shego, and Lord Monkey Fist!"
"Okay slow down! You and Ron got married? Drakken, Shego, and Monkey Fist want to accompany you on your mission? Frederick's alive? Too much info all at once! Why don't you start over? …Starting with you getting married to Ron…"
"Well in order for Ron and his family to be saved, I had to join our families together through marriage… Plus Ron is… I… well… you know! Anyway… and yes, Frederick is alive, he appeared at our front door yesterday evening and my dad said that he probably used the emergency escape shuttle to come down here…"
"Wow… who would have known you and Ron would be together… Anyway! Now tell me about the villains!"
"Yes, well Ron, Frederick, and I were going to go on our mission into space, but we needed a way to blow up the comet and more people. At the precise moment they mentioned that, Dr. Drakken and Shego appear at the front door saying that they know a way! It was way freaky! Then after that, when they said that they needed at least one more person, Monkey Fist comes! It was the weirdest thing! They gave good reasons for why they wanted to help us, but I'm still not sure I can trust them…"
"Well, I don't really blame you! I would be a little cautious too if I were you!"
"So… do you think you can check to see if they might be up to something?"
"Sure! I'll check my security cameras right now and be back in a sec."
"Alright, I'll wait for you…" Kim put her Kimmunicator on hold and waited. She glanced back in the room where everyone was surprisingly quietly seated. "Wow… now that's something unexpected…." Kim turned back to her Kimmunicator to see if Wade was back yet. He was. "So….. Did you find anything?"
"Nope… It looks like they're telling the truth! They aren't out to get you this time, as weird as it may be. I'll still keep them monitored though, just in case."
"Thanks Wade. Well… I'll catch you later… Bye…"
"Wade out…"
Kim watched as the ten-year-old genius disappeared from the screen. Then she clicked her Kimmunicator off and put it in her bag. She sighed, getting ready to enter into the room.
Everybody watched as Kim entered into the room. She took her seat between Ron, who was on her left, and Dr. Drakken who was on her right. Shego was sitting next to Drakken and Monkey Fist was seated across from her. The room was silent. Then, finally, Mr. Dr. Possible stood up at the head of the long narrow table. "So… it appears that all the odds are matched!" He looked down at Dr. Frehence and smiled. "We have a pilot, we have a team of five humans along with one monkey, we have a shuttle, and we have something to destroy the comet with! So... All of you present, what says you? Are you in? If so, then say Aye! …Aye!"
"Aye!" Kim stood up and looked down at everybody else who was still seated.
Finally Ron gathered up the courage to stand along with his partner. "Aye!"
Drakken stood up firmly. "Aye!" Then he nudged Shego who was still seated looking at a magazine.
"Uh… what?" Shego laid the villains magazine down on the table and looked up at Drakken. Then she realized that everyone was taking a vote, and promptly stood up. "Oh yes, uh… Aye…. …whatever…."
Then Monty stood up as well, standing up straight with his chest out, shoulders back, and chin up, much like a little soldier boy. "Aye!"
Finally the moment of tension came. What will the doctors present say? First it started with Dr. Chen. He stood up and said 'aye'. After that came Dr. Smith and then Dr. Clark until Dr. Frehence was the only one seated. Dr. Frehence smirked, looking directly at Mr. Possible. "Do you know how crazy this mission is? We have a cheerleader, a boy, a mad scientist, a henchwoman, a nobleman, and a monkey flying in an uncertified space craft to blow up a comet with a 'doomsday devise'. A mission that could change the world forever as we speak! ..." He paused for a second, looking around the room. "…I love it!" Then he firmly stood up. "Aye!"
Everyone started clapping. Mr. Possible smiled and leaned over to shake Dr. Frehence's hand. "Glad to have you on the team!"
"So…" Ron glanced around the room, interrupting the celebration. "What are we going to call our shuttle or team? I mean… the other team's shuttle was called 'the Savior'… What should we call ours?"
The room quieted down as murmured suggestions were made. Then finally Monkey Fist stood up, facing Ron. "Well… How about 'the Messiah'? It means 'the Savior' in Hebrew…."
Ron's face lit up, being Jewish himself. "Yeah! …Why didn't I think of it before?"
Shego smirked, glancing over at Ron. "…Because you're stupid?"
"'The Messiah' it is then!" Mr. Dr. Possible stood up facing everyone present in the room who were now quietly seated in their chairs. "The Messiah will go on its mission in three days! Prepare fore takeoff!"
(Shakes hands) Well that was a lot to write! Hopefully it will hold you for a while. Yes, I know, there were a whole lot of unexpected guests in this chapter weren't there! That is why you should always expect the unexpected! Mwahahahaha! Well… remember when it comes to updating; patience, my friend… it's a virtue! …Review and Good day.
