Chapter 9: Seeing someone totally new
It had been one month since Ron won the tournament of the True Warrior and returned from Japan. It was Tuesday afternoon and cheer practice was already underway. There had been an increase in temperature leaving a scorching effect. Even the girls were sweating in their light uniforms.
"Have you guys noticed anything different about Ron lately?" Tara asked the group as they stood around.
"What's to notice about that loser?" Bonnie retorted.
"Doesn't he seem… bigger?"
"You're surprised? With the way he inhales all that disgusting food I'm surprised he isn't two hundred pounds overweight."
"That's not what I mean." Tara said pointing behind the girls.
They all turned to face the boys' locker room as Ron walked out. He was holding the Mad Dog head under one arm and a damp cloth in the other. As he set the head on the ground he began to wipe his face with the cloth. No doubt being inside the mascot uniform made him boiling hot. After rubbing his face he pulled of his shirt revealing his perceptible muscles. All the girls' jaws dropped in disbelief and attraction.
Since the events in Japan Ron continued his training in keeping balance in mind, body and spirit. His training had given him respectable amount of build. Ron washed up and down his biceps, across his abs, along his triceps and finished with his back. Ron finally glanced over and saw all the girls with their eyes fixated on him. Ron looked behind him thinking there might be something there but found nothing.
"Uh… hot huh?" Ron said lightly breaking the silence.
All the girls robotically nodded in unison answering his question and the double meaning.
"What are you looking at?" Kim asked as she arrived on the scene.
The girls spun around on a dime to face their captain with nervous ill prepared faces on.
"Nothing Kim, we're just waiting for you to hurry up and 'lead' the cheer!" Bonnie harassed covering her actions.
Kim looked over where they had been looking and just saw Ron putting the towel in his bag and his shirt back on. Kim's suspicions disappeared as she instructed the next sequence.
"Look at him." Bonnie thought silently to herself. "Since when did he get so buff? He does seem to stand out more now; I guess he isn't such a loser anymore. Wait what am I saying? I'm I crushing on Ron, Ron Stoppable?"
"Bonnie! Wake up! You missed your cue!" Kim said breaking Bonnie's thoughts.
"Step off Kim! I was just taking a break, besides it's a stupid routine anyway!" Bonnie barked back.
Throughout the remaining minutes of practice Bonnie's thoughts and eyes kept returning to Ron as he performed his stretches and came into the routines as instructed. Her thoughts bothered her beyond explanation; she couldn't be falling for the Ron, the biggest loser to ever enter Middleton High.
Practice ended and as the girls headed in the ladies room to change Bonnie was held back as she watched Joan enter the gym. Joan ran up to Ron, who just saw her in time to prepare for contact, as she jumped into his arms Ron picked her up and spun her around playfully before their lips quickly met.
"Hey hottie! Ready for Bueno?" Joan asked after her lips unlocked from Ron's.
"Almost, I just gotta get my notebook from my locker." Ron answered.
"Aw." Rufus sighed unhappily from Ron's pocket.
Ron looked down feeling guilty. "But Rufus is hungry now so I'll tell you what, you take Rufus and head down there now and I'll be right behind you."
"Okay." Joan replied reaching down letting Rufus climb up her shoulder. "See you in a bit."
As Joan headed out Bonnie glared darkly at her, like acid burning through cement. Joan didn't notice as she left the gym leaving Bonnie fuming with frustration.
"Of all people why her? Like she's anything special, I'm not going to sit by and watch this go on." Bonnie foretold darkly. "I think it's time Joan learned that when there's a guy in Middleton he becomes mine."
Bonnie entered the ladies room and started to change, not into her previous clothes but into something she always kept to the side for such occasions. It was well known that Bonnie couldn't do anything extreme without people to know, she was a screamer. Bonnie knew she had the silent support of the squad behind her excluding Kim and that is why she waited patiently for her to leave before revealing her plan to the other girls.
"Bonnie, you can't do this." Tara disputed as the group left the room. "You've done some low things before but this is too much."
Bonnie turned back and looked Tara straight in the eye. "Listen Tara maybe it slipped your mind but I'm Bonnie Rockwaller and whatever Bonnie Rockwaller wants, she gets."
Tara opened her mouth to argue but was left silenced; Bonnie smirked as she continued walking to the halls with the rest of the squad following in support and slight fear.
Tara hated herself for falling victim to the false power Bonnie held over her, she knew what Bonnie was about to do was the worst thing imaginable and that it was wrong and anyone who even thought about it should be punished. But what Tara hated more then anything was that she was being a hypocrite. Because secretly she wanted to do the same thing Bonnie was, deep down Tara still had feelings for Ron. Her relationship with Josh Mankey was not going well; she only went out with him because she thought it would help her forget about Ron and even hoped it would make him jealous. It did neither she could tell her relationship with Josh was going to end soon. What made it worse was with Ron's new confidence boost and attractive new appearance made her want to take a pass at Ron even more.
Ron was at his locker happily whistling as he pulled out his needed notebook. He closed the door then suddenly felt the presents of someone else. He turned to look behind himself and came literally face to face with Bonnie, the squad behind her.
"Ah!" Ron shouted in surprise. "Oh… hi Bonnie... ladies."
"Hi Ron. You were good in practice today." Bonnie replied in a very sexy voice.
"Thanks Bonnie I… Wait, you just complimented me… and you called me Ron."
"Well, yeah, that is your name isn't it?" Bonnie continued her alluring tone.
"Well, it is but you usually call me loser… or spaz… or freak… or…"
"I'm sorry I was so mean before." Bonnie apologized as she moved even closer to Ron. "I shouldn't talk to the newest hottie like that."
"N-n-n-newest h-hottie?" Ron stammered confused and overwhelmed. "I didn't know there was a new guy in school."
Bonnie let out a soft feminine giggle. "Your so silly Ron-Ron, I'm talking about you."
"M-m-me?"
Bonnie nodded hypnotizing Ron's eyes with hers.
"Listen Bonnie I gotta go."
Ron tried to take off but was stopped by Bonnie's arm blocking his escape. Bonnie had both hands laying flat against the lockers with Ron pinned in between. At this stage Ron finally fully noticed Bonnie's attire. She was wearing a button-up white blouse that revealed a vast amount of cleavage. A plaid catholic skirt that was cut even higher then her cheerleader uniform. Finally scarlet heels with laces that wrapped around her ankles.
Kim was walking down the hallway until she rounded the corner and saw the events taking place at the far end of the path.
"Oh no." Kim said softly to herself.
Kim knew what Bonnie was trying to do and this made her furious. Kim didn't deny that Bonnie had the physical stature to grab the attention of any guy, especially in that outfit and that impulsive attitude. But she didn't want to barge in right away; Kim hoped that Ron wouldn't give in to this; she prayed that Ron wasn't that shallow.
"Don't go. I want to talk to you." Bonnie requested her voice thick with sexual implication.
Bonnie leaned in ever so closely, her left leg lifting up to glide gently against his crotch.
"Bonnie, you're kinda in my personal bubble." Ron informed shakily as sweat formed on along his brow.
"Oh come on Ron-Ron, I'm sure there's room for two in that bubble." Bonnie continued her advance.
Ron had the strength to push he off but not the aggression, deep down he was still the same Ron.
"You know you've really buffed up. You look good." Bonnie flattered as her fingers walked up his arm.
Ron hated what was happening to him, his mind and heart rejected everything that was taking place. Unfortunately hormones do not obey to such rules; his instinctive attraction was beginning to take effect.
"You should take me out to a movie tonight, have a little fun." Bonnie said seductively her eyes continuing to spellbind his.
Ron tried to look elsewhere; the ceiling, to the left, to the right, down but nothing worked is gaze would refocus in on the seductress in front of him. Ron's perspiration flowed like a waterfall and blood rushed to his face… and to a lower area. But Ron dug down.
"Bon" Ron's voice cracked. "Ahem, Bonnie, maybe you haven't noticed but I'm kinda going out with Joan."
"Oh come on what does she have that I don't. In fact…" Bonnie pressed her chest against Ron's so he could feel her cushions. "I think I have more."
Kim sighed depressed, she could tell that Ron wouldn't do it know. Kim began her approach to split up this dishonest affair but only walked two steps when she heard.
"Bonnie stop this!" Ron said firmly.
The broadness of his voice made Bonnie move back automatically.
"What you are doing is wrong, this doesn't mean anything. You are basing everything on appearances, it's obvious that's the only reason you're doing this. I'm with Joan because I like her for who she is not how she looks. You shouldn't focus on how people look, maybe then you wouldn't break up with a guy every week."
All the girls went blank faced; they all were hushed but all shared the exact same thought. They were all mesmerized by the pureness and loyalty of his words. Kim and the girls' were warmed by this. Even Bonnie's seemingly ice heart thawed slightly. But she would deny it; her blank expression was quickly replaced by hatred. As she got back up she used Ron's head as support pushing it hard against the locker forcing him to clench it in pain.
"It figures!" Bonnie snapped furiously. "The second I think you grew out of being a loser you turn out to be even more of loser then before!"
Bonnie stormed down the hall way, but this time he squad didn't follow her which only made her even more aggravated.
Ron leaned hard against the lockers and slowly slid down them until he sat on the floor with his head buried in his knees. The girls all looked at Bonnie raiding down the hallway then to Ron on the ground. Ron quivered as he looked up at them with fragile eyes, sweat still streaming down his face. They instantly shuffled for a second before heading down the hallway opposite of Bonnie instantly igniting in hushed whispers and all periodically looking back at Ron.
The girls walked past Kim who then approached Ron.
"Ron?" Kim asked gently.
"Kim? Oh god you saw that didn't you. Don't tell Joan." Ron's order was empty.
"But Ron you didn't do anything wrong."
"Don't tell her."
"Ron. No other guy in this entire school would have done what you just did."
"Please?" Ron was at the point of begging.
"Okay Ron, I won't tell."
Kim crouched down a put a hand on his shoulder giving support. Inside she was baffled by Ron's request. Why does he not want Joan to know? If he was trying to get with Bonnie and got caught could be understandable but not like this. Kim's misunderstanding was left unanswered as Ron finally got the nerve to stand up and head to Bueno Nacho.
Joan didn't find out about what happened. Kim kept her promise even though she still didn't understand why. Bonnie refused to admit she was rejected, especially by Ron. The girls on the squad found out about Ron's request and respected his wishes.
It was early the next morning and Ron was just about to open his locker when he noticed Tara walking towards him. Ron felt a cringe in his stomach as she came closer.
"Ron its okay, I just want to tell you something."
Ron's stomach unknotted as he turned to face her.
"I just want you know that me and the girls are proud of you for what you did. Don't think for a second you did anything wrong. You did what nobody else in the school has ever done; you put Bonnie in her place."
Ron didn't know how to respond to Tara's words so he just nodded. For a moment Tara basked in the Ron's presents.
"Well, I'll see you later." Tara bid farewell as she headed down the hall.
"What was that all about?" Kim asked just coming up beside Ron.
"Nothing, just a chat." Ron felt much better.
"BeepBeep Beep Beep" Kim's kimmunicator called from her pocket.
"Hey Wade, what's the sitch?"
"Big stuff going down in Prague, you better get moving."
"We're on it. Come on Ron."
After getting a ride team Possible arrived in downtown Prague, standing on the rooftop of one of several hotels.
"So what's this big stuff anyway?" Ron asked.
"It's always big stuff at Le Rumdth Décor." Wade informed sipping his soda.
"Is that European?" Kim asked.
"It's what most people think but it's actually an anagram for 'the cold murder'"
"Sounds friendly."
"It's secretly an underground club for felons and villains."
"And why didn't you tell us about this place before?"
"Because I didn't find out about it until know, this place is at the peak of secrecy, to the public it is just a cozy club but in secret it is a top deal operation for criminals. And it's a good thing I found it because tonight Drakken is having a trade off for a lethal virus."
"How lethal?" Ron asked peaking over Kim's shoulder. "Are we talking get a free sick day, stay at home lethal or a resident evil, zombie hazard lethal?"
"We're talking kill the entire population of Asia overnight lethal."
"Okay, how do we sneak in?" Kim asked.
"You can't, this place has some of the best security known and I won't be able to shut down anything without setting off alarms. The only way in is if you are on the list."
"I sincerely doubt that the best crime fighters in the world would be welcome at a villain's convention." Ron nagged.
"Sure Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable won't be wanted there but we're lucky their not gonna show up." Wade said smoothly.
"What?"
"You'll understand in about three…two…one."
A capsule dropped from the sky and landed beside the two teens.
"What is that?"
"Open it."
Kim opened the twist off top and revealed a stock of equipment.
"I don't get it." Kim said as she held up a peculiar outfit.
"I can't hack the systems down but I can input you into the guest list as villains."
"Don't you think they'll recognize us?" Ron asked.
"Not with my new toys."
Ron grabbed the costume labeled with his name. It looked similar to the outfit Dr. Evil wore except it was black and had scarlet red patterns along the lining, completed with a pull-over piece for his head that made him look bald and an eye patch that had a cross hairs symbol on it.
"No Wade! I am not wearing this!" Kim yelled loud enough for the streets to hear her.
"Kim do want to save the world or not?" Wade replied.
"Wade. Look at this." Kim held up her outfit. "I am not walking around as if Shego was my stylist!"
Kim's outfit was a sleek dress that reached down to her knees with the split seam running up to her hip. It was colored orange and blue with a crisscrossing pattern that would remind anyone of Shego.
"But if you wear it, no one will suspect you."
Kim rolled her eyes. "Fine. But you will pay for this."
Ron searched the bottom of the capsule and pulled out a tablet that sat in the palm of his hand.
"What is this? It looks like a pocket pack."
"Don't worry, this won't just freshen your breathe." Wade informed. "Put it on your tongue."
Ron did as instructed he opened up the case and pulled out one tissue thin square and placed on his tongue. It dissolved almost instantly and Ron felt nothing different.
"So wh…" Ron's voice was deep and broad like Michael Clark Duncan's. "Whoa! I'm turning thirteen all over again."
"Eek!" Rufus said in surprise.
"What is that?" Kim asked just as surprised.
"It's a new invention of mine. It enters through the taste buds and stimulates the larynx instantly. If anybody thinks they recognize you, you can just talk to them and it should eliminate all suspicions. The only catch is that it will only last for half an hour."
"So where is this club?"
"Should be just down the block."
"Signing out." Kim turned her kimmunicator off.
"Luke, I am your father… when's your birthday again?" Ron played around.
"Time to suit up." Kim informed.
They paused, looked at each other then around.
"Uh… I won't look if you won't." Ron said.
"Deal."
Respectively they faced the other way and commenced changing. Kim made quick, easy work of her dress and put her mission clothes into her purse having them ready as soon as possible. She continued to wait for Ron but indescribable impulse made her peek behind her and saw Ron just pulling his pants up. He had not put his shirt and jacket on yet and Kim really noticed his muscle.
"Wow." Kim thought. "I never thought Ron would ever fill in."
She turned back not wanting to get caught in the act.
"Ready?" Ron asked.
"Ready." Kim answered.
They turned back.
"Rufus you have to lay low if this is going to work." Ron advised.
"Gotcha." Rufus agreed diving deeply into Ron's pocket.
"Here KP." Ron handed her Wade's voice manipulator thingy.
"Thanks." She slipped into her mouth.
"Say something." Ron was curious.
"Let's go." Kim's voice became peaceful yet daring, much like Susan Eisenberg.
Kim and Ron used the hair dryer to slide down the rooftop and into the alley as they made their approach to the cold murder. As they walked by people glanced at them with odd expressions.
"You see, I told you this dress is awful. Thank god Bonnie doesn't have to see me."
"Hey, at least you still have both your eyes. I feel like an open target with this target on my face."
They arrived at the small line leading into the front doors. Two wrestling sized bouncers stood at the door with a third standing behind a stall with a small computer on top, that seemed to keep a visual record of the members.
"Let's hope Wade knows what he's doing or this is going to get ugly fast." Ron whispered.
Gradually the line became shorter, some people allowed in others meeting with a less then pleasant aftermath. Finally the two undercover crime fighters stood in front of the three monumental bouncers.
"Name?" One of the bouncers boomed.
"I'm…" Ron stopped.
He choked; Wade didn't tell them who they were supposed to be.
"We're on the list." Kim implied.
The men eyed them suspiciously as the one scanned through the computer files looking for confirming photo. The longer it took the more nervous Ron got. The bouncer stopped as he found a print of the two. His eyes jumped back and forth between the shot and the two and he rubbed his chin.
"Commodore Reprimand?" The man questioned mistrustfully.
Ron was perplexed but went with the flow.
"That's right! You seem surprised."
"I've never heard of you."
Ron began to get into the act.
"I'm insulted! I'm at the top of the world domination food chain."
The bouncers raised an eyebrow.
"Who do you think's responsible for the Kennedy assassination?"
Kim rolled her eyes and decided to take over before Ron blew their cover.
"Listen, are we allowed in or not?"
"I suppose. Allow Commodore and his assistant Miss Eradi Kate to pass." The guard instructed.
"Eradi Kate?" Kim asked.
Kim and Ron walked by the mammoth guards and into the large edifice. As they walked they noticed that it was indeed the top of the top.
"Check it out!" Ron said impressed. "The Queen would so hang here if she was evil!"
"Forget the spiffy presentation. Firstly, Eradi Kate? I mean come on, as if the dress wasn't bad enough."
Ron shrugged. "At least it worked."
"And secondly, I'm the sidekick?"
"Why not? Let me be the lead hero for once."
"Ron you're…"
"That's Commodore Reprimand." Ron corrected, trying to keep the low profile and swelling with arrogance.
Kim sighed frustrated then spoke in sarcastic proclamation. "Fine, you're Reprimand who's a crime boss who's responsible for the death of JFK?
Ron smiled proudly.
"You weren't even alive in the 60's!"
"I look youthful for my age." Ron gloated.
Kim elbowed him hard to silence him.
The two walked into what appeared to be the dining room. It was enormous in size, with tables organized accordingly, a platform to the right that held a grand piano and a stage for the singer to stand on. The largest spiral staircase you've ever seen bordering around the room that reached up to the glass ceiling with a diamond chandelier balancing in the middle.
"Move over Ritz Hotel." Ron stated after looking around.
"Remember we're looking from Drakken. Look around for info and keep me posted." Kim instructed.
"I got your back."
Ron and Kim split up and made their separate ways around the establishment.
Meanwhile up the spiral staircase and down the hall there was an office room preoccupied by the famous villain Dr. Drakken and his aggressive sidekick Shego. Drakken was laughing evilly while Shego leaned against the wall filing her nails impatiently.
"Ok, either you shut up or I'm going to hang you by your intestines." Shego warned.
Drakken stopped his maniac laughter to face Shego.
"Now don't go crying over any hang nails Shego, soon you will be laughing with me."
"What are we doing here anyway? You said we came to get a virus and we've been waiting in this room for an hour."
"Patience, soon the dealer will arrive and then I will be in possession of the most deadly disease ever to be released upon mankind!"
"Yeah about that, you plan to release this on the world to kill everyone except us? Don't take this the wrong way Dr. D but if it's just going to be the two of us on earth I'm gonna hafta take a sample of that."
"Fear not Shego. I plan on using it to threaten the world, they will listen to my demands or else."
"Or else what?"
"I will give them a taste of my new found power; I will release it on Antarctica!"
"But nobody lives in Antarctica."
"Not for long."
Shego rolled her eyes and continued with her nails. Just then a man in a dark suit walked into the room with a briefcase in hand.
"Dr. Drakken I presume."
"You the dealer?"
The man nodded.
"That's me."
The man smirked and continued past the villain to sit behind the desk.
"Hee hee hee!" Drakken giggled softly. "I'm gonna rule the world and defeat Kim Possible… that'll show that pompous Professor Dementor who's the real genius."
"Ever think that maybe if you worked with him you could do both faster?" Shego suggested.
"But my priiiiide!" Drakken whined like a five year old.
"UUUGGGGHHHHHH! Fine whatever! I'll be downstairs getting a drink!" Shego roared as she threw the doors open.
"Wanna grab me a martini?" Drakken asked sweetly.
"BITE ME!"
The dealer had an overwhelmed look on his face.
"She always like that?"
Drakken nodded sadly.
"Man, then I'd hate to see her when she's having her p…"
The dealer was silenced by a green plasma bolt flying at him; it missed him by a half foot. Drakken fiddled with his fingers timidly for a moment.
"Any who, lets get down to business."
In the meantime Kim and Ron had searched the entire area and found no clues or hints to where Drakken was. Ron was getting tired of walking around so he sat at the bar.
"Man, this pocket pack thing isn't gonna last much longer." Ron said glancing at his watch. "And I still got no leads."
"I'll have a Tequila Sunrise." Ron heard from beside him. He turned to see Shego sitting right next to him."Ah! Shego!"
Shego turned to Ron confused. "Have we met?"
"No, not at all it just that…" Ron had to think quickly to save himself. "Everyone knows you."
Shego looked intrigued and turned towards him.
"How's that?"
"I mean come on, Shego, the only person to go head to head with Kim Possible and come out on top. You'd have to be brain dead not to know."
Shego was more then taken by Ron's words.
"No doubt." She beamed as she sipped her beverage. "So who are you?"
"The name's Reprimand, Commodore Reprimand." Ron kissed Shego's hand.
Ron was making this up as he went but slowly became more confident that he was going the right way to getting the info he needed.
"Easy buddy, I'm not played so easy."
"Sorry, I'm use to weak women." Ron continued his charade.
"Trust me; I could roast you in a second."
"What makes you think I couldn't get you first?"
Shego looked at him in a questioning manner.
"This eye patch isn't just a fashion statement."
"Who do you work for?"
"I run my own little business. But what about you… err, that is what's Drakken up to?"
Shego scoffed. "That genius is upstairs in the office making a trade for some kind of virus."
"Upstairs huh?"
"He's so oblivious; you won't believe what he plans to do first."
"What?"
"He's going to infect Antarctica, can you believe it?"
"Antarctica?"
"Exactly, I'm sure the death of a total population of thirty people will get Global Justice's attention." Shego laughed sipping from her drink.
Ron laughed with her when suddenly his voice returned to normal.
"Huh?" Shego looked at him.
"Uh-oh." Ron said.
"What happened to your voice?"
Ron tried to imitate his previously bass filled tone. "Uh, nothing I just have something in my throat!"
Shego looked closer at Ron and pieced his appearance with the familiar voice.
"You're the moron!" She roared.
Shego's hand went green with plasma as she swung at Ron, who dove off the stool and rolled across the floor.
"So much for undercover." Ron said as he tore off the false headwear and eye patch.
Shego was fast into her combat formation as she starting hurling plasma blasts at Ron. The teen used his skills to jump up around and over tables to avoid the surging energy. The hubbub disrupted the many of the civilian guests thus resulting in screaming and running for the exits. This grabbed Kim's attention making her run to the center of the problem.
"Cover's gone?" Kim asked as she ran up beside him
"Cover's gone." Ron answered.
Kim noticed Shego and stood in front of Ron in her combat stance. Ron grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back.
"Drakken is upstairs in the office; he's getting the virus now. Go, I'll hold off Shego."
Kim wasn't use to the idea of not fighting Shego but knew it was the best strategy and that Ron could handle himself now, she bolted up the stairs. In this time period Shego had stopped ravaging the instant she heard Ron's words.
"You're going to fight me?" Shego asked barely keeping a straight face.
Ron went into his defensive stance to prepare for combat.
Shego erupted into laughter so hard that she clenched her sides. Ron did take any offense as he maintained his form. After a moment Shego wiped away a tear and casually walked up to Ron.
"Listen, you may have fooled me for second with the whole 'I'm a villain like you' thing but you don't stand a chance."
Ron didn't move.
Shego kept walking until she was just in front of Ron. "I really don't want to hurt you… actually I don't mind."
The second she finished her sentence she threw her plasma charged fist at Ron expecting an instant kill. But to her surprise Ron had long since blocked her attack at the base of her forearm, he then pushed against her forcing her to take a couple steps back.
"You may have been taught a couple things by the princess but that's not gonna do you any good."
Shego forwarded Ron with a spin kick but was once again blocked. As Shego was forced back again her eyes burned with savage anger.
"Okay that's it! I was going to make it quick, but you're going to get the slow and painful treatment! AHHHH!"
Meanwhile Kim was finally at the top of the stairs and heading down the path to the main office.
"So do we have an understanding?" The dealer asked as he opened the briefcase and pulled out a small test tube.
"I believe we do." Drakken answered pulling opening the briefcase he had revealing a multitude of cash dollars.
"And the third party says no!" Kim shouted after kicking the door in.
"KIM POSSIBLE!" Drakken shouted but spoke confused after looking. "…Did you raid Shego's closet?"
Kim remembered she still had the dress on. She growled angrily.
"Hold on a second!" Kim closed the doors.
As there was a pause the dealer and Drakken looked at each other baffled. After a quick second the door was kicked down again by Kim now in her mission clothes.
"Drop the germ."
"You didn't mention Kim Possible!" the dealer freaked. "The deal's off."
"That's great…" Drakken replied devilishly. "That means I won't have to pay you!"
Drakken snatched the vile from the man's hand and snapped the case shut.
"Shego!"
No one answered him.
"Shego?"
"Sorry, she's a bit preoccupied at the moment." Kim explained as she moved towards Drakken.
Kim was almost upon Drakken when the dealer hit a button underneath the desk. The bookshelf on the wall opened inward and released a swarm of henchmen many with weapons. The dealer ran into the passage as the army charged towards Kim.
"It can never be easy can it?" Kim asked herself as she met them in combat.
While this was going on Shego and Ron were moving speedily across the dining room. Ron used his training knowledge to focus on his opponent the only problem was with her super powers it made unpredictable. Ron managed to keep her at bay, blocking her attacks and performing counters when they arrived.
Shego had chased Ron onto the performing stage with the piano standing in the middle. Shego punched and kicked at Ron with him deflecting the majority of each attempt. Finally she brought down a fully charged swing; instinctively Ron performed a rolling thunder around her. Shego turned to face him but was caught off guard, Ron hit her hard with a back flip kick to the jaw that launched her up into the air in down into the open piano. Ron did a spin kick on the stand bringing the lid sealing the top. Ron jumped off the stage and returned to the main ground waiting for the next action.
As time went by Ron dropped his guard presuming it was over but suddenly the grand piano blew apart into pieces Shego screaming in fury. Bulleting down towards Ron holding a piece of wreckage she full body smacked Ron across the room like a baseball. Ron soared thirty feet before he landed on the ground and slide through double doors into the kitchen. Rufus flew out of Ron's pocket and into one of the many shelves. Ron sat up rubbing his chest where the impact had taken place. He looked around and saw all the cooking knives, fryers, burners and other dangerous things found in a kitchen.
"This is such a bad place to fight someone with a grudge." Ron said to himself.
"But the perfect place to kill a chicken." Shego said behind him.
Ron turned to see Shego towering over him holding an enormous meat cleaver. Ron rolled out of the way as she brought it down on him. Scrambling to his feet Ron weaved out of the sharp weapon's path. Ron grabbed the lid off a large cooking pot using it as a shield against Shego's blows.
Kim was busy laying the beat down on the henchmen while Drakken was slowly trying to make his way out of the room. Seeing him in his attempt Kim spun kicked a goon sending him flying on top of Drakken. But in her brief pause of action a thug managed to lay down a hard punch to he back. Kim fell to the ground and was pinned into a hold as the other members grabbed Drakken and put them back to back to tie up with rope.
"AHHH!" Shego bellowed with each clash of metal.
Ron's shield was being warn down fast so he deflected he shot and spun in close grabbed her wrist, twisted it forcing her to lose her grip. Continuing his spin around her with the cleaver in hand, Ron tossed it underneath the stove and rammed the stock shelf beside him bringing a bag of flour down onto Shego. Shego stopped all movement and stood upright.
Shego spoke in a cut and dry voice. "Now you've gone and done it. I just got my hair the way I like it."
Shego wiped the flour from her face inoffensively and took a deep breathe. Then she threw plasma blasts at Ron like there was no tomorrow. Ron tried to use the lid as a shield but the first hit disintegrated it like dust. In reflex Ron ducked out of the way but was caught off balance and fell onto the prep table. He looked up to see the knife dispenser dangling above his face, Shego's energy blast brought down onto him, Ron rolled over came to face with his adversary. Shego swung her glowing fist Ron; he managed to catch her arm just at the base of her elbow. The position was at an extreme disadvantage to Ron, he could barely hold back Shego's attack. Inch by inch her clenched fingers came closer to his face. The heat from her green fire made sweat drip from Ron's face.
"Rufus?" Ron sputtered.
The naked mole rat was up a shelf above the two humans. Looking around Rufus saw a bowl of pâté below him with a spoon immersed in it.
"Geronimo!" He squeaked as he dove down on the spoon.
When he landed on the handle the spoon catapulted a slab of pâté directly into Shego's face. She growled as she lost balance, Ron took advantage by putting his feet at Shego's stomach and kicking her across the kitchen into the condiment ledge. Everything from mint to paprika buried Shego as she sprawled on the floor.
"Oregano is a good look for you." Ron said as he let Rufus jump back into his pocket.
"I'm going to rip your flesh off!" Shego spoke desolation jumping back at him.
"You just couldn't let me escape could you?" Drakken whined back to Kim who was tied to him.
"Allow me to break it down easy for you. Me hero, you bad guy. I stop you. Is that to complicated?" Kim snapped.
The two captives went silent as the largest of the men stepped forward holding a power mace so large that he had to use both hands to hold it. Kim's mind raced as he leaned back for the swing.
"Don't hurt me! I'm a criminal mastermind; I'm too innocent to die!" Drakken groveled.
Kim fidgeted her hand in her pockets until she pulled out her laser lipstick and blasted it towards the man. The red hot beam skimmed the goon causing him to loose balance in surprise. Kim then angled the laser to cut through the rope releasing herself and Drakken.
"Farewell Kimberly Ann!" Drakken laughed as he ran out the door.
Kim grabbed the mace and dove out of the room, instantly she closed the doors and slid the weapon between the handles preventing escape. Drakken was running full blast towards the end of the hall.
"Ron?" Kim called over the railing.
As if almost on cue Ron ran out of the kitchen with green fire bolts closely following.
"KP!" Ron shouted as he avoided the blasts.
Kim jumped up onto the chandelier pulled out her hairdryer and fired it downward towards the support line. The hook latched tightly onto the handle to which she pulled bringing the chandelier downward with remarkable speed. As she fell Kim saw Shego run out of the kitchen doors and towards Ron who was on the other side. Luckily the chandelier crashed between the two with such power that it forced Shego to jump back. Shego was ready to fight but was stopped when she heard.
"Shego! Time to go!"
She looked up to see Drakken standing just beside the doorway to the roof.
Shego's locked onto Ron. "This isn't over! You're a dead man next time!"
Shego sprinted to the elevator and hit the roof button before Kim and Ron could reach the doors. Kim looked at Ron who looked back to the lever.
"I've got your back." Ron said running over to the lever.
Ron removed the hook and pulled the handle back up making the chandelier rise. Ron held onto the hook tightly and as the chandelier went up Kim retracted the hook back to the hairdryer making Ron rise up after her.
The two rose up to the ceiling at the same speed as the elevator. The second they reached the top, team Possible jumped to the pathway and sprinted for the roof stairway. They just arrived at the rooftop when Shego was up beside Drakken.
"What happened to you?" Drakken asked looking at Shego.
"DON'T SAY A WORD!" She boomed as the rope ladder from the helicopter dropped.
Kim and Ron came at them; this made the pilot nervous so he started to move.
"HEY!" Shego shouted as the ladder moved away.
"What do we do?" Drakken freaked as Kim and Ron approached.
"Just don't scream." Shego ordered as she threw Drakken over her shoulder and sprinted off the ledge jumping at the last moment.
Drakken disobeyed her shrieking like a child as they soared and grabbed the ladder in the mid area pushing Drakken up to grab hold. Kim and Ron were right behind her, Kim jumped with the same power and distance as Shego. Unfortunately Ron didn't get the same leverage; in fact he tripped and went plummeting to the earth. Kim was just about to grab the bottom of the rope when she heard.
"KP!"
Looking back she instantly pulled out her hairdryer and shot at the hanging flag post and swung back to Ron. She swayed around him hooking the latch to his belt and let go of the dryer. Using the zero point of gravity she slid down the wall's surface to the building's second ledge. Ron kept falling until the wire tighten stopping his descend. Kim stood beside Ron as he dangled back and forth by his belt.
"HA! Kim Possible, you think you're all that, but you won't be for long!" Drakken shouted as they climbed up into the helicopter.
Ron's head sank in disillusion.
"Sorry KP, I guess I screwed up pretty bad this time." Ron sulked.
Surprisingly to Ron, Kim didn't look very upset.
"Should we call Global Justice and tell them about the virus?"
Kim smiled. "I don't think so."
"Why not?" Ron was questioned with extreme confusion.
Kim pulled out the vile she swiped when she was tied to Drakken. Just then they heard a familiar sound echo across the sky.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Drakken yelled from the helicopter.
"Booyah!" Ron said as he gave his friend a high five.
