Kim Possible
Frequency of Evil
Chapter 2
"I'm telling you Shego. The third time is the charm! This time we will destroy Kim Possible and whatever his name is."
Shego stood off to one side and angrily rubbed her forehead. Her good mood nearly gone and in its place a headache was forming. "Okay. Let me get this straight. You had me steal the Pan-dimensional whatzit and do what with it? The last time you had it, things didn't go so well or have you forgotten Mr. Sit-down?"
Dr. Drakken frowned and rubbed the back of his neck at the memory of being sucked into a T.V. along with Kim Possible and that sidekick of hers and being crushed underneath a giant child's stuffed character named Mr. Sit-down.
"This time is going to be different Shego. For one thing I am not going to send Kim Possible and her little sidekick somewhere to get rid of her. I'm going to use the awesome might of the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer and my brilliant brains to bring something here to fight her for me."
Shego looked up in confusion. "Huh?"
Dr. Drakken made a grand gesture and stood posed for a moment.
"Ahem! Rope!" He said in irritation to a synthodrone leaning near a rope hanging from the ceiling. Shego hid a slight grin. One of Dr. Drakken's more creative endeavors was to program the synthodrones with human personalities. He succeeded too well. The synthodrones now became bored with his rants and tuned him out almost as much as Shego did.
The synthodrone realizing that Dr. Drakken was glaring at him snapped to attention and promptly pulled the rope hard.
The coverings over the machines promptly flew up, snagged on something near the ceiling and coming loose fell down over Dr. Drakken.
The synthodrone sweated while Shego tried her best not to laugh out loud.
After a moment of swearing and struggling Dr. Drakken crawled from underneath the tarps and gestured to Shego. "Shego. Come!"
Shego's grin at his antics faded away to a dangerous frown. How she hated it when he talked to her like she was some kind of dog but never the less she walked over to where he was standing studying the objects that had been hidden under the tarps.
Shego could now see that there were three glass display cabinets standing next to a giant flat table top with some kind of optical scanner above it. A cable ran from the flat table scanner thing ran over to the laser she had just a short time ago plugged in the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer to.
Walking over to the first display cabinet she looked in.
"Have you ever heard someone describing a haunted house and saying, 'it had a palpable sense of evil about it?' or someone picking up a gun and saying they could feel evil in it?" Dr. Drakken asked Shego as he stood beside her staring into the first display cabinet.
Shego shrugged. "I guess so. What does that have to do with that?" She asked nodding at the cabinet.
"My research has found that is not just the 'heebi jeebies' or the 'willies' talking but that objects that have come in contact with evil really do pick up a 'frequency of evil' that can be measured or mapped.
Inside this cabinet is the scalpel of Jack the Ripper." Dr. Drakken said as if that explained everything.
Shego glanced at him and then looked back at the object floating in the center of the cabinet. The object was a scalpel. That was true. It had a pearl handle to it and certainly looked old enough to be the real deal but she had her doubts anyway.
"Who says?" She asked.
"The man I purchased it from off of Vbay."
Shego looked over in confusion at Drakken. "Vbay?"
"It's a villain's version of Ebay. They help the flow and sale of items of villainy."
"Why haven't I heard of it then?" Shego asked as she continued to peer at the scalpel.
"It's fairly new. Anyway I purchased Jack the Ripper's scalpel from someone with the onscreen name of Jackal and he authenticated it." Reaching into a pocket in his lab coat Drakken pulled a piece of paper out and showed it to Shego.
Shego glanced at the paper and then looked at Drakken like he was an idiot. It was a look Drakken was well familiar with from Shego.
"Moving right along." Drakken said stepping over to the next cabinet. "This one contains the machete of the Crystal Lake Slasher!"
Shego looking into the display cabinet could see a carbon steel machete that was almost black with age and use. The wooden handle of the machete was cracked in a few places and Shego could see dark crusty looking black substances near the place where the blade met the handle.
"The who?" She asked after a moment.
Drakken looked at her in amazement. "How could you not of heard of the Crystal Lake Slasher? A sleep away camp near a lake named Crystal Lake? The campers were all slaughtered one year. The police were certain they got the murderer, a crazy woman who had lost her son when the counselors of the camp ignored her child and he drowned. Several years later they tried to reopen the camp and the killings started again. And on it went in cycles. The killer would disappear after slaughtering a bunch of teens, stay gone for a few years and then pop up again. It's been going on for decades."
"How? And once again, how come I have never heard of this killer?" Shego asked.
"The government has hidden the facts from casual observers. My research uncovered some unbelievable facts. Seems the mother when she lost her son was driven so far into madness by grief she searched everywhere till she found a cursed book that allowed her to summon a demon from Hell. She then took the demon and put it inside the remains of her son. The demon caused the body to grow until it was the right size to be an efficient killer and started slaughtering anybody it came across in an orgy of death."
"You know you are so into this, it is almost scaring me." Shego muttered. "Continue." She said as she noticed Drakken had stopped.
"People eventually realized that Jason Voorhees, um that was the killed boy's name, since the demon was basically wearing the body everyone just started calling the thing Jason. Anyway they realized that Jason couldn't be destroyed but he could be contained in the lake. So they started chaining him and dumping him in the lake. This would work until the next time he escaped the lake and start on his killing spree again."
"And you got this story off of someone on Vbay that sold you that machete I take it?" Shego asked the disbelief strong in her voice.
"Oh no Shego, while you were away on your spa retreat, I went to a super secret government research center at Crystal Lake and broke in. I found the reports and the machete there myself." Drakken said puffing his chest out in pride.
"I'm impressed Dr. D. You did all that by yourself? How did you get past the guards and researchers?" Shego asked in surprise.
"Um, actually when I arrived the door to the research center was destroyed and everyone inside was dead, the machete was stuck half way through the receptionist desk and all the way through the receptionist sitting at the desk."
"How many times did you throw up before you managed to pull the machete out and run?" Shego asked.
Drakken frowned. "Four times." He admitted reluctantly. "But the point is… I got the machete and the documents by myself."
Shego gave a half shrug. She had to admit she was still a little impressed Drakken took it on himself to do something so potentially dangerous as journey to a place that supposedly contained a demon monster.
"Course when he went there, he didn't know about the Jason story at that point. He only knew after he got the documents back and read them." Shego realized to herself.
"Next cabinet." Drakken announced and moved on. "This one contains a reported book of ultimate evil called The Necronomicon, also known as the Book of the Dead. Supposedly the book contains spells and rituals that can bring the dead back to life."
Shego cast one last look at the machete floating in the magnetic field of the display cabinet and repressed a shudder. She wasn't sure she bought that whole evil has a frequency that objects could absorb or the Jason story either but she had to admit even if it was only to herself that the machete gave her the creeps.
"Wait a minute! A book that can bring the dead back to life? Didn't you just say that Jason's mother used such a book to summon that demon she put in the dead kid's body? Is that the book?" Shego asked as she nervously peered at the book.
"I… Don't know. Every time I try to open the book to read it, it has tried to bite me." Drakken admitted in an annoyed voice.
Shego turned to stare at him. "The book tried to bite you?"
Drakken just gestured at the cabinet.
Peering into the cabinet Shego could see a large book that appeared to have a face flattened on the front of it. She could easily see a fanged filled mouth and two closed eyes. Suddenly the book's 'eyes' popped open and Shego found herself staring into two milky white orbs.
Shego prided herself on never being frightened or startled but this time she let out a yelp of surprise and leaped back away from the cabinet. The milky orbs continued to stare at her a moment and then the book eyes once again shut and it looked just like a normal, if not somewhat creepy looking book.
"Okay, the book I don't like! I mean I really don't like! What is all this junk for anyway? I mean outside of a really sick and wrong hobby?"
"The frequency of evil I mentioned earlier Shego. Using the evil scanner over there…."
"Evil scanner?" Shego interrupted with an almost snicker.
"Using the evil scanner I can detect the frequency off of the items I place on the table and then using the laser equipped with the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer I can open a portal to a world where a corresponding evil exits and bring it to our world. Think of it Shego, an army of evil we can command and send out to do our bidding. And the first order will be to destroy Kim Possible!"
Shego cast a nervous glance over at the book. "Um Doctor D? I think this maybe a really really bad idea. I mean how do you know if you can control evil like that book might bring?"
"Why Shego, don't you have trust in my abilities?" Drakken asked if hurt.
"Um, let me think. Hell no!" Shego said.
"Let's start small and work our way up shall we? Let's see what the scalpel of Jack the Ripper gets us." Drakken said as he opened the cabinet and pulled the scalpel out.
"Come on Kimmie." Shego thought to herself. "Of all the times you have foiled Drakken's plans now would be a really good time to do it again because I sense this is going to end very badly."
