"What did you say?" Lexxy said sharply. "What happened?"
"Sorry Lex but I called them for a mission when you left" Wade replied in a tone of remorse.
"Mission?" she replied, surprised. "But I thought they quit years ago…"
"Yeah but that's before an old friend came back"
"You mean-"
"Drakken, Kim's archenemy. He's back and he wants revenge. Kim and Ron were supposed to go to his lair and figure out his plan. I kept track on them but now, I've lost their signals. They must have fallen into a trap"
The color drained from Lexxy's face. "I have to do something" she said, standing up and keeping the communicator.
"Lex?"
Lexxy had barely taken two steps when she remembered Drake. She turned to find him standing and holding two cups with an inquiring look on his face.
"Is something wrong?" he asked. There was a slight disappointed tone in his voice when he noticed she was about to depart.
Lexxy stared at him sadly. "Drake, I'm sorry to do this to you but I need to go" she said, strained a smile and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Drake said, grabbing her hand. She whirled around. "Isn't there some way I could help?"
Lexxy blinked. It took seconds for memories from stories of her dad to realize something. She smiled at the black-haired boy. "Maybe there is. Come on"
Drake followed her outside. Lexxy took out her communicator. "Uncle Wade, I need the 411 on my parents' location"
"Your parents?" Drake said.
"Well, they're- what is he doing here?" Wade suddenly asked, spotting Drake. "I thought he couldn't go the dance with you"
"Explanations will come later" Lexxy replied, as Drake opened to ask how Wade had known. "Parents, Uncle Wade"
"Oh, right. They're just in Middleton actually- wait a minute" Wade paused, surveying the teen. "Exactly what are you planning to do?"
"Uncle Wade, my parents are in danger. You can't expect me to sit quietly and wait for them to return" Lexxy responded.
"I know. But it's just that-"
"If you didn't want me to help then you shouldn't have called me in the first place!" she retorted. Lexxy didn't mean to sound a bit rude but this is her parents they're talking about.
Wade stared at her determined face hesitantly. She did have a point, he shouldn't have called her if he didn't want her to go but he didn't know what Kim would say if she'd know her daughter was going on a mission. Then again, she was their only hope and technically, she is older than Kim when she started her missions. "Alright. But I need you pass by your house first"
Lexxy nodded and turned to Drake. "You don't mind, do you?" she asked. He shook his head. "Ok. Just one more thing. How are Drake and I supposed to get to my house quick enough?"
"Already done. She should be arriving any second" Wade said, smiling then sighed. "Kim is so going to have my head for this"

"Thanks for the ride, Miss Mahoney" Lexxy said as she stepped out of the car with Drake just behind her.
"After your mother saved my mother's cat and you saved my little Fluffy, it's my pleasure"
Lexxy smiled. "No big, it was just a fifty foot post during a snowstorm" she replied, closing the door while receiving an astonished stare from Drake.
"Wait here" she said to him who nodded in reply and got in the house. She sped to her room to find her computer already turned on and Wade in it.
"Good, you're here. Take that backpack over there" he said. "I've placed a few things that might help you"
"Thanks, Uncle Wade" she said, grabbed the brown backpack from her bed, and headed for the door.
"Wait!"
She turned. "What's wrong?"
"You're seriously not thinking of going on a mission like that, right?"
Lexxy looked down. She was still in her mother's dress. "Oops" she grinned sheepishly. "Hold on" she said and entered her closet, emerging a few seconds later in a black top and baggy pants, Kim's mission clothes. She left the room, ran out of her house and met with Drake who stared at her.
"Nice outfit" he commented.
Lexxy blushed. "Oh, thanks" she replied and took out her communicator. "Uncle Wade, I just realized something. Now that Miss Mahoney is gone, how are we supposed to go to wherever my parents are?"
Wade smiled. "Search in your backpack" he instructed.
She did as told and found a small black square. "Um, what is it?"
"Put it on the floor"
Lexxy dropped and in a second, it turned into a skateboard with no wheels but floated on thin air.
Drake's jaw dropped.
"I thought this might be faster" Wade said simply.
"You forgot to mention cooler" Drake said in awe.
Lexxy smiled. "You rock, Uncle Wade"
"I know" he replied.
Lexxy looked at Drake who still gazing on the hover board. "I'm thinking that this isn't just some simple little trip, is it?" he asked.
Lexxy grinned. "Go time"

"OOF!"
Kim and Ron fell on a flat metal floor beside each other.
Rubbing her head, Kim looked up and gasped. They had fallen into Drakken's lair. She nudged Ron, who was still groaning painfully from the fall.
"Oh… OW! Kim! What's the-"
"Kim Possible!"
They both turned their heads to the sound of the voice. Drakken was standing close by, wearing a huge evil grin, and behind him was Shego, copying the same smile. Kim stood up.
"Drakken" she said, rather menacingly.
"Isn't that rather rude to say to an old friend?" Drakken replied. "You're acting like you're not happy to see us"
"Technically, we're not" Ron said frankly as he got up as well and brushed dirt from himself.
"Alright, what do you want?" Kim demanded.
"Yeah and what's with the house?" the blond added. "I mean, don't you usually have your lairs in some old abandoned place where there's no people?"
"Well, I would prefer abandoned place where there's no people but under the circumstances" Drakken murmured, stealing a glance at his green-eyed wife. "I'm not-"
"What circumstances?" Ron asked, curious.
"Never you mind" Shego growled, glaring at her husband. "Can we just get on with it before I blast you to bits?"
"Ok" he replied in fear and looked his red-haired archfoe, regaining his evil composure. "Kimberly Ann, you have no idea how I've waited for this day" he said, smiling.
The heroine raised an eyebrow. "So, that's what you've been doing all these years? Trying to find another plan to beat me?" she said. "And could you stop calling me Kimberly Ann? I'm not a teenager anymore"
"Yeah and besides, you're out of luck, dude. Ain't nothing going to defeat the Stoppable team!" Ron said confidently.
"Stoppable? You're just a dopey sidekick" Shego said. "Isn't it supposed to be the Possible team?"
"Um… yeah… about that…" Ron started, rather awkwardly.
Kim couldn't help but blush too. "Look, never mind" she said and went in a fighting stance. "Drakken, whatever you have, I'm ready"
The villain smiled. "Oh, we shall see how ready" he responded and pressed on his remote control. "Attack!"
Kim heard something behind them and spun around instinctively, only to duck a second later as a red laser was fired her way.
"Synthodrones!" Ron exclaimed. "Wait a minute, that's your plan? Synthodrones? Again?"
Kim looked up to see six cyberdrones. "But since when do your synthodrones fire lasers?" she said. "Ron, watch out!" she warned and pushed him out of another laser beam.
"Kim Possible and the buffoon-"
"Hey!"
"Meet my cyberdrones!" Drakken said proudly.
"Cyberdrones?" Ron said. "Dude, why'd you change their name, I mean- AAH!" he screamed as two of the androids surrounded him.
"Ron!" Kim said. But before she could reach to him, a laser was fired again, throwing her off the floor. She groaned slightly as she got up.
"KIM! Behind you!" she heard Ron's voice. She turned around and saw another cyberdrone. She flipped back just in time before its hand, which had turned into a sword, could reach her and made a hole on the floor. And while the robot was struggling to remove its arm, she kicked its head. It flew some ten feet in the air. Without bothering to see the outcome, she sprinted towards her husband. She flew up, landed on the two cyberdrones and smacked their heads together before landing down on her feet.
"Ron, you ok?" she asked him.
"Am now, KP" he answered. "I mean, Kim" he added.
She smiled and turned to her foe. "Only three more to go, Drakken!"
But his grin only widened. "Do you really think so, Kim Possible?"
Kim looked confused. "What do you-"
"Better watch out, princess. His silly little robots are actually pretty good" Shego said.
"Shego!" Drakken said grumpily. "My robots are not silly!"
"Whatever" came the reply.
"Kim! They're… they're doing something!" Ron said, pointing at the three cyberdrones without heads. Kim stared too as their heads suddenly reformed, as if nothing had happened.
"Cybertronic technology" Kim breathed.

"I see. So your parents are in trouble because an evil scientist, who tried so many times but failed to take over the world because of your parents, wants to take revenge on them?"
Lexxy nodded.
"And now we're going to wherever his lair might be to save them?"
She nodded again.
"And I'm supposed to be your sidekick?" he said in a not-so-joyful tone.
"Hero support" she corrected him, grinning slightly as they both landed, the hover board turned back into a square as they got off.
"Isn't that what I just said?"
She rolled her eyes and took out her communicator. "Uncle Wade, we're here at the-"
"Um, Lex? Can I ask you something?" Drake said.
She turned to him. He was looking forward. "What is it?"
"Are you sure this is the right place?"
She raised an eyebrow and followed his gaze to find a house in front of them. She stared down at her communicator. "Uncle Wade?"
"That's definitely the coordinates I gave your parents and where I lost their signals" Wade replied.
"Alright, thanks" Lexxy replied and pocketed the communicator. "What's wrong?" she inquired to the boy beside her.
"Well" he started. "Would it count that this is my house?"
