I don't own Kim Possible. Seriously, I don't.

"I've found it, Shego!"

Shego rolled her eyes. Drakken always blew things way out of proportion. Sometimes she wondered why she kept working for him. She hated to hear him rant.

"Found what?" she asked reluctantly.

"I've found the perfect victim to kidnap," Drakken said, "Well, not really. You see, we'll steal the already stolen Barter Diamond, and ransom it to the thief. WA-HA HA!"

"That's a terrible plan, Drakken," Shego said, "What if the thief stole it so that he could sell it?"

"He didn't," Drakken said, "Falsetto Jones steals for the thrill of it. If we have a diamond he allegedly stole, we can prove his guilt and ruin his wonderful reputation. HA HA HA HA HA!"

"I still think it's a bad plan," Shego said.

"Who asked you?" Drakken replied, "Now, quickly, to the saucer!"

—Meanwhile, at Go City Museum—

"Time to step up," said Ron, wearing a very serious face.

"Wade," he said after dialing the super genius up on his phone, "Kim has been kidnapped by Monkey Fist and Duff Killigan. I need you to find out where they're taking her."

"Something is jamming the kimunicator's tracking beacon," Wade answered, "but I could try to track the source of the jamming."

"Please and thank you."

"Could take a while, Ron. I'll call you when I've got the location."

After hanging up, Ron looked at Rufus.

"I've been getting tired of being called Kim's sidekick," he said, "It's time to act like something more then a sidekick."

"Yeah!" Rufus said.

Ron took the gadgets out of his backpack and placed them in their hostlers. He and Kim rarely wore their gadgets on hand, but Wade made the hostlers as a precaution. As he put on each gadget, he remembered exactly what it did. The Grappling Hook Shooter; the Elastic Constricting Agent, which was self-explanatory; the Air Exploders, which caused a small shockwave it the air; the Smoke Pellets; the Laser Pen, with a real laser put in of course; the Magnetic "Suction Cups", for climbing up metal walls; the Rocket-Skates, which were built into Ron's shoes; the Spectrometer Sunglasses; the Stealth Suit, which he had activated before putting all the gadgets on (it turned into his mission shirt when de-activated); and Wade's most recent invention, The Vibro-Staffs.

—Flashback to Bueno Nacho—

"I saved the best for last," Wade said.

After Kim pulled a cylinder (about as long as her forearm) out of her backpack, Josh said, "That looks like one of those toy lightsabers."

"It was a toy," Wade said, "until I modified it."

Ron saw that there were three more in Kim's backpack, "Coollio! Two for me, and two for you. What do they do, Wade?"

"Point it strait up and push the button," Wade said with a sneaky smile on his face.

Kim did; and, to the surprise of the three teens, it extended to three times its original length.

"Now," Wade continued, "twist the hilt."

When Kim did, the extension began to vibrate.

"Cool," Kim's best friend said.

"Yeah, it is," Kim said.

—End flashback—

Wade thought that Ron wasn't paying any attention to what he said about the gadgets. Well, Ron was about to prove him wrong. Dead wrong. It was time to set aside the clumsy, joker he always was and become the hero he always wanted to be. He'd miss being the carefree young man he used to be, but becoming a hero came with a price. Now, fully arrayed with gadgets, Ron was ready to be a hero. Not for glory or attention, but so that he could save his best friend.

"If Monkey Fist hurts Kim," he said, "I'll show him a new definition of pain!"

—Back at Middleton High—

"Ron said that," Tara said in shock, "about Josh."

"Well," Monique said, "you have to admit, "Mankey" does sound a lot like "monkey"."

"Ron so had to be jealous," Tara said threw her laughter, "He's not going to like to hear about Kim's new crush."

The two young ladies were talking about what they knew about the K/R relationship. They figured that Kim and Ron both thought about dating each other but were always to nervous to talk about it. Normally, if Tara wanted to get two people to start dating, she'd get them to interact. But that wouldn't make the K/R relationship much stronger. They had to get more creative with this couple.

—Somewhere else—

Kim felt like a train had hit her.

"Re-ed," a familiar voice said, "Re-e-ed."

She came into full consciousness thanks to a slap to her face. She looked at the culprit but couldn't make him out.

"Welcome back, Kim Possible," said a much more recognizable voice.

"Falsetto Jones," Kim said, then she turned to the one that hit her and said, "And Motor Ed. I should have known you two were in on this."

"Really?" Jones said, "I must be falling into a rut."

"You couldn't have never guessed all four of us were working together, Red. Seriously," Ed said.

"You mean, 'could have never guessed'. And thank you for letting me know that it's just you, Falsetto, Killigan, and Monkey Fist," Kim said, "And quit calling me 'Red'!"

"Are you sure it's save to keep her like this?" Falsetto asked.

"What do you mean?" another said, Monkey Fist, Kim guessed.

"Hel-lo," Ed said, "She's still alive. Seriously."

"There is no way even the world famous Kim Possible could escape from that," Killigan said.

"Guess your right," Ed added, "Those restraints are made of titani-whatsit. Her hands are nowhere near her pockets. There is no way Red is going to bust out of there. Seriously."

"Oh, I'm going to bust out, all right," Kim said, "And when I do, I'm going to bust you for calling me 'Red'!"

"Seriously?"

"Must you say, 'Seriously' so much?" Monkey Fist asked.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously," Monkey Fist and Killigan said in unison.

"Yeah, I do. Seriously."

—Outside the lair—

"This lair was purchased by Falsetto Jones, so expect his henchmen to show up," Wade said to Ron, using the new ronunicator he just sent to the soon-to-be teen hero.

"Thanks for the left, Nathan," Ron said.

"It's the least I can do after the way Kim saved me from that—hey, wait. Where is Kim?"

"Down there," Ron said, pointing at Falsetto's lair, "I'm going to get her out of there."

"Um, good luck," Nathan said, "Tell her thank you for me."

"If she were here, she'd say, 'It was no big,'" Ron answered before jumping.

At exactly the right time, Ron opened his chute. He then pulled out the MSCs (Magnetic "Suction Cups") and let himself hit the east wall of the lair. He detached the parachute from his backpack and began to clime. It was rather uneventful on the wall; but, once he got into the lair, things got tricky.

After using the Laser Pen to cut threw the window (and using an MSC to throw the piece he cut out outside of the lair), he put on the Spectrometer Sunglasses so that he could see the infrared security beams. He used the Grappling Hook Shooter to create a tether line he could clime across.

After making it past the first room, Ron made like Spiderman and climbed on the ceiling with the MSCs. When he turned a corner, he found two of Falsetto's henchmen waiting. They weren't really waiting, but they were right were they could see him. He let go of the MSCs and let himself drop down. As he fell, he dropped three Smoke Pellets to hide himself. As the guards tried to find him in the smoke, he adjusted his Spectrometer Sunglasses to detect heat alone and pulled out his two Vibro-Staffs. He extended them and swung them into each other with the first man's head in between them. Guard number one was down, but the smoke had cleared, and Ron was exposed. He activated the Vibro-Staffs and swung them at the walls. The second guard tripped over the ruble that was suddenly underneath him, and Ron kicked him in the head. He deactivated his gadgets, put them away, and continued his search for Kim.

He found himself in an open room, about the size of his house. It had a second floor outcropping on the walls. On the one facing him was a familiar man.

"You surprised me, Mr. Stoppable," he said, "I didn't expect you to get here so quickly."

"Where's Kim, Falsetto?"

"Oh, she'll be fine," Jones answered, "You, on the other hand, will die very soon."

"AH YEEE-AHHHH!" said a familiar voice, "Introducing Motor Ed and his indestructible and totally rippin' bike! Seriously!"

Ed was sitting on a red motorcycle. Ron's first instinct was to think that Ed was bluffing about it being indestructible, but then he remembered that Motor Ed wasn't the bluffing type.

"You don't stand a chance, Ron Stoppable," Ron's arch nemesis said, "Surrender and I might have mercy on you."

"No way, freako," Ron said pulling out a gadget behind his back.

"Fine," Monkey Fist said, "We'll do this the hard way."

He jumped at Ron but never got to him. Ron shot the Elastic Constricting Agent at him. Fist fell to the ground with a thud. Ron turned his attention to Motor Ed. He was heading strait for Ron, but Ron was ready. He threw an Air Exploder in the bike's path; when it blew, the bike was sent careening through the air. Ed, however, regained control and began to steer the bike around the room. Ron activated his Rocket-Skates and chased after Motor Ed. Ron pulled out his Vibro-Staffs and activated them again. Ed's bike itself may have been indestructible, but the tires were not. After hitting the rear tire twice air began to come out of it. Ron took that opportunity to kick Ed off his bike. He deactivated the Vibro-Staffs and the Rocket-Skates.

"A man should not be booted off his ride," Ed said, "Seriously."

By that time, Monkey Fist was free of the ECA and ready to fight Ron with Ed. Ron extended the staffs but didn't activate them.

"Here's where the fun begins," Ron said.

—Meanwhile, wherever Kim was—

Kim managed to slide her Laser Pen out of the space in her glove into her hand. She used it to free herself.

"Not bad, lassie," Duff said, "But I thought ye'd have gotten out faster."

He started hitting golf balls in Kim's direction. She dodged them, with little trouble; but she ended up hiding behind an end table that she kicked over.

"What a wonderful slice," Duff said while laughing maniacally, "Not even the Kim Possible can dodge me short game!"

"It's just 'Kim Possible'," Kim said, noticing the chandelier.

She grabbed it and swing into Killigan while saying, "There's no 'the'."

Duff grunted as he fell to the ground. Kim dashed off to find a way out.

—Back with Ron—

Ed wasn't a really good fighter but he was well built. Fist was the one Ron was worried about. Ron swung with his left hand and hit his staff into Fist's midriff. Fist had the wind knocked out of him. It seemed like Ron would win, when Drakken ruined everything.

"Hello, Falsetto," Drakken said, "What? The buffoon? Shego!"

"Yeah. Yeah," the woman replied, "I'm on it."

Shego moved to fast for Ron to catch (also she caught him by surprise). She kicked him, forcing him to let go of the Vibro-Staffs. Ron tried to fight hard, but soon Monkey Fist started laying down a smack down of his own on Ron. Now Ron was fighting two highly skilled fighters. He couldn't beat them with muscle, so he used his mind. He had only one Air Exploder left. If he used it at just the right time, both Shego and Monkey Fist would be knocked out.

—Back with Kim—

"I want the Barter Diamond!" she heard Drakken shout at Falsetto.

As she advanced to get the two, Motor Ed stood in her way.

"So, Red," he said, "you got out of the cuffs and whooped Duff. I'm impressed. Seriously."

"I told you to quit calling me 'Red'!"

Ed charged at her, but she jumped over him and he ran into the wall behind her.

"Ow. That's low, Red. Seriously."

Kim then saw that Shego and Money Fist had Ron cornered. Why was he always getting into trouble? She leapt into action. Kim fired her Grappling Hook Shooter (which she had found laying nearby where she was held captive), and swung into Shego. Shego knocked over Fist like a domino. Kim then felt a hard pressure on her left side. She fell on the ground hard. She tried to get up so that she could capture the villains, like always.

"Shego, help," shouted a surrounded Drakken.

Shego knocked over three of Falsetto's henchmen, and Drakken said, "Let's jet before Kim Possible captures us again!"

"Works for me," Shego said jumping on their getaway vehicle.

"Maybe next time, Kim Possible," Falsetto said, "Fist, Ed, Duff, you ready?"

Somehow, the three were in an escape pod and all the villains got away.

"What just happened?" Kim asked.

"What just happened?" Ron repeated, "I tell you what just happened: you got in the way of the Air Exploder I threw!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to use one of those?"

"I would've told Monkey Fist and Shego too, Kimberly!"

"Well, Ronald, you should've known I was going to help you!"

"What am I? A mind reader? And is that all I am to you? The guy you get to save? The clumsy fool who gets into trouble? That's ALL I am to you! The buffoon that does the whole "distraction" thing!"

"Come on, you idiot! Quit being such a stupid loser!"

Ron gave her the angriest look she'd ever seen on him.

"Wow," Ron said silently, after thinking for a moment, "So that's what you really think of me. Well, let me tell YOU! I'm sick and tired of walking in your shadow! I've had it with you hogging all the glory while I do all the work! I've had it with YOU, KIM POSSIBLE!"

Ron pulled out his ronunicator and said to Wade, "Wade we need two rides to Middleton."

"Why two, Ron?" he asked.

"There isn't a chance in HELL I'm going to share an hour-long ride with this high-strung, controlling little…look, just set up the rides, nerdlinger!"

Ron then threw the ronunicator down, shattering it into a million pieces.

"It's over, Kim," he shouted, "Find a new sidekick! I QUIT!"

This was a hard chapter to write. But it was worth it. There will be two more Kim Possible villains in the next chapter. I'd like to hear your opinions on who they should be. Please R and R.
