Rufus looked up at Ron, then at Kim, and then down at Jason. "Whoa..," he said in his little mole rat voice. Jason took a breath of fresh air, and relaxed in his chair. "Wow Jason, that was SOME story..." said Kim. "Booyah," cried Ron, "The adventure part that is, not about you being in prison and all..." Ron glanced left then right, and now feeling himself awkward got up and said..."I'm...gonna see what Wade is up too." Ron clicked the Kimmunicator to life and said, "So eh...Wade..."
"So...what about you guys and these missions you go on?" started Jason as Ron paced back and forth. "Perhaps we should save that for..later today..." said Kim pointing at the clock on Ron's desk. Right there in big bright RED was 3:46 am. "WHOA! No WONDER I'm so tired." said Ron. "Good idea.." said Jason. Jason and Kim walked down the stairs leaving Ron and Rufus to their comfortable room. They parted ways at the back fence and Jason walked to his front door. His mother wouldn't be home for a few more hours. He figured he'd get what sleep he could considering tomorrow was a school day.
Jason slid into his bed after a quick change, and surprisingly fell asleep pretty quickly, even for him. His dreams were full of his past, as they usually were. In his mind at night, he could relive the riot in prison, and how it went down. How he practically alone quieted the halls that night, how he almost alone defeated an entire prison complex. It was his nightmare, that it had to even happen. And Jack's words echoed in his mind, "...this is the kind of person you are, a good person, and one who will help those who need it. You never belonged in here."
"RINGGGGG!" screamed his alarm clock only 3 hours later. Jason got up and got dressed, and began out the door ready to drag himself down the lonely sidewalk to school. And it was a lonely walk. When he got to class he found his seat, next to a rather talkative young lady named Bonnie. Boy did she annoy Jason. Jason managed to stay awake throughout the day, slept through lunch of course, and gym, and math, but he managed to stay awake quite a bit still. He didn't recall seeing Ron or Kim the entire day though.
The day past by quickly enough, school ended, he stopped at Bueno Nacho for a Naco, and headed home. His mom was there, sleeping, and he crashed on the couch himself to get a few more "Z's" before dinner. Even during the day his nightmares would haunt him, so long as he slept. As Jason tossed and turned on the couch, he fell and slammed his head onto the floor. WHAM/THUD!
"Ow..." said Jason as he grabbed the back of his head. Jason got up on his feet and looked around. It was strange, so dark. No light in the house was on, not even the small lights on the VCR or the DVD player. Every window was open, and the wind was blowing nicely. Cold air caressed his face, and the wind seemed to call his name, "Jason...Jason..." "Who's there?" asked Jason, but there came no reply. "Jason..." came his name again. Jason began to look all around him now, he looked to the sides, then he turned around and looked at the wall behind him. As he did, he saw a shadow cast on the wall all around him. "Jason.." came the voice again. Jason whipped around to see a small animal standing on the window seal between the flying curtains. It stared at him, as if it had been looking for him. Jason stared back at it, their eyes connected, and he knew, something about this animal would change him forever.
"JASON!" came a REALLY loud voice. His eyes snapped open and he shot up to a seated position on the couch. "...a dream..." he mumbled. "It's for you," said his Mom shoving the phone into his face. Jason took the phone and sleepishly spoke into the reciever, "..Hello?" "Hey Jason, this is Wade," came the voice on the other end, "I eh... need to ask a favor of you..." began Wade.
--------------------------
Jason walked through the snow mumbling, "Antarctica...of ALL places...Antarctica." "Kim and Ron are in the North Pole Jason, it's just as bad for them," came Wade's voice over Jason's headset. "If you say so Wade. How much further?"
Wade had called earlier that evening telling Jason that Kim and Ron had been alerted that Dr. Drakken was trying to take over the world again. This time he was after both the north and south poles. Something about altering the gravitational pulls of both poles and causing floods and whatnot to rearrange the continents. Kim and Ron had already been and Russia and didn't have time to get to Antarctica, so they requested Jason's help on this one. Though when he said he'd help he wasn't quite sure what he was getting himself into.
Apparently Drakken only needed to alter one pole, but he chose to attack both simply because Kim Possible couldn't get to both. Jason trudged through what seemed an endless amount of snow, not ever seeming to get any closer to what he was after, but Wade assured him he was on the right path. Jason took a step forward to find the ground give way beneath him. "GHYA!" shouted Jason as he fell through the ground, surprisingly into a tunnel. He slid down it some way before Wade finally said, "Better slow yourself down." Jason rammed his spiked boots into the walls and skidded to a halt in the tunnel. He reached into his pockets and pulled out a pair of palm spiked climbing gloves, the ones Ninja's use, and after putting them on started making his way down the tunnel at a speed not quite as fast as he had been traveling.
Jason finally reached the end of the tunnel, and was surprised to see a very nice drop. "Not another drop..." he said into his mic. "Can't be helped, but it's down there," Wade informed him. Jason climbed out of the tunnel, and with the aid of his boots and gloves climbed down the relentless wall. As he neared the bottom he could hear all kinds of voices. "Looks like we've found the place Wade..." said Jason. "Get a closer look." said Wade. Jason crept closer to an opening, keeping to the shadows. And boy was there an opening, a HUGE cavern with a small hole in the top where sunlight was coming through. A girl dressed in a green and black bodysuit and a parka was giving orders. He couldn't see her clearly, but she WAS the one everyone else was listening to. "Shego," said Wade, "Drakken's right hand man...er...woman. She's the one you want to watch out for." "I take it Dr. Drakken's in visiting Santa then?" responed Jason. "If Shego is here Drakken is most likely at the north pole." replied Wade.
All around the place were syntho drones. One of Drakken's favorite creations. A kind of living chemical controlled robot. However to shut one down all you had to do was cut a fuel line the chemicals passed through. Jason jumped down off a ledge to a platform below him, still keeping to the shadows, and unnoticed. Jason got closer to the center, trying to avoid contact with anyone. Jason heard a female voice getting closer, saying something like, "This actually might work, I mean, Kimmy can't get to two poles at once, we might actually win this one." She passed right by the crate Jason was hiding behind, not noticing him. Jason looked the other way to see the control panel. "So how do I stop this thing?" he asked Wade. "You don't!" came a female voice from over head. Jason was sitting with his back to the crate.
He looked straight up above him to see a yound woman, probably in her early twenties looking down at him. She had long black hair tied in a ponytail, and a green tint to her skin. She was pretty attractive no less. "Shego?" asked Jason. "And you are...?" she asked surprised he wasn't one of the usual trouble makers. Jason stood up, and was now face level with Shego who was still crouched on the crate. He extended his hand for a hand to shake hers and said, "Well, considering we'll be fighting in a sec, we might as well formally introduce ourselves. My name's Jason." Shego raised on eyebrow. "Oh sorry about that," said Jason removing the spike from his right hand, then offering it for a shake. "..Shego..." she said shaking his hand. She held onto it and looked at him smiling and said, "So...can we fight now?"
"The first move is all yours," said Jason cracking a half smile, or more of a grin. Shego tried to pull him forward, but he didn't budge. "Well...looks like Kimmy actually has a helped with a little muscle this time." she said. "A little," responded Jason. Shego jumped off the crate at him and threw a flurry of punches and kicks, all of which Jason either blocked or dodged. She tried to nail him with a roundhouse, which he grabbed mid-air and with a swift movement of his own had her lying on her back on the ground. He just stood there and smiled. "AND he can fight!" said Shego jumping back to her feet. She jumped at him again. The speed of her movements increased as she tried even harder to knock him down. He grabbed a punch and brought her arm behind her back and held it. She was a little shorter than he was, maybe a couple of inches. He leaned over by her face and looked her in the eyes and said, "And here Wade was telling me you were dangerous. I must say though, you are an EXCELLENT dancer." said Jason.
"Dancing!" shouted Shego as she released herself from his grasp to turn around and hit him again, but as she turned around she found he wasn't there. She felt a hand grab her other arm, and then it was brought behind her back, and she was back where she started. Jason raised her arm and twirled her as if they really had been dancing. He just turned his back and walked to the controls. "Dancing..." said Shego, realizing she was completely outclassed this time. The syntho drones had already began heading his way. Jason looked at the control panel for a second then punched a few buttons, and the device completely shut inself down. "Kind of a sloppy built device, don't you agree?" he asked Wade. Wade laughed and said, "Drakken's usually are, and look out for those drones." "Noted," replied Jason. Jason got to his feet and commenced cutting drone fuel lines. In a matter of minutes every drone was either malfunctioning or already collapsed on the ground.
Shego was still standing there, now lost in though. Jason found a small tunnel leading downward to who knows where. He cut a few more lines on the device to permanently disable it. Then he threw it down the hole and surprisingly heard water splash. "Well that takes care of that he said." "Now what?" Jason asked Wade. "Well, I got an explosive in your bag, how about we collapse this cavern." Jason grinned and set the explosive to go off in 00:05:00. Jason walked over to Shego, who was still trying to figure the situation on, pacing back and forth. Jason put his hand on her shoulder and spun her around to meet his gaze, then said, "You've been an excellent dance partner milady, but this place is going to go BOOM in less than five minutes." This got her attention. She smiled at him and said, "Aren't we the gentleman." "After you," he said holding his arm out in the direction of an obvious exit. "Thank you pretty boy!" she said dashing off towards the tunnel. She stopped at the tunnel entrance, ignited her hand to that familiar green glow we all know and love, and was about to bring the tunnel down so Jason couldn't follow her. As she was about to collapse the tunnel something grabbed her arm and she flew completely off her feet and into the air as Jason pulled her down the tunnel. "No time for that lady," he said.
Jason ran down the tunnel at top speed, "You can put me down now!" shouted Shego. Jason didn't even look back at her, but called back, "actually thanks to your little stop, there isn't, I got a time on my watch, we may barely get out of here alive." Shego's eyes wen't big at his response. She wasn't scared, rather she was more upset that she now had no control over getting out, Jason had all control. As he approached another tunnel he reached around with his other hand and pulled her clear onto his back. As her legs came around his side and he brought her arms around his next she cried, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" "BE QUIET AND HOLD ON!" shouted Jason. She looked forward to see a decent sized crevasse in the ground, a mini canyon you could even call it. "Oh..." said Shego. "WAIT, WE GOT A BETTER CHANCE OF CLEARING THAT IF WE JUMP IT SEPERATELY!" she called, NOW scared to death. "Once again Shego, thanks to your little act back there, no time to stop," he told her. Now she was clinging to him, her legs connected infront of him, and her arms gripped him firmly around his neck.
Jason was accelerating fast, very fast. Shego closed her eyes and help on tight as Jason reached the edge. He jumped with everything he had in him, even she could tell that. Jason went up, and forward. He flew through the air, cringing his teeth as he flew towards the other side. He said, "Hold on!" as he came down for the landing. Jason put both his hands on Shego's head and tucked it into his shoulder, and did a landing roll from which he managed to decently recover from and keep on running. Surprisingly she didn't have the wind knocked out of her from that landing. She just held on now, as Jason came up on the caverns opening. They could see the light in front of them. Jason's watch wen't "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" and the heard a loud -BOOOOOM!- from back behind them, and the entire cavern started rocking. They could hear what sounded like a thunder storm rushing up the tunnel behind them.
Jason focused on the exit and Shego was being pretty clingy now. "HYYAAA!" cried Jason as he jumped out the cavern's opening. Bright flames scorched the sky just missing them, screaming out of the cavern entrance, burning the air, and the in a instant, leaving a trail of smoke climbing into the sky. Jason and Shego landed and rolled down the hill a little ways from the cavern opening. She was still wrapped around him, her eyes closed. "Is it over?" she asked. "Yeah..." said Jason. Shego opened her eyes, and just looked at the smoke rising high. After a second she realized she was still clinging to Jason, and she abruptly let go and fell backwards into the snow. "Here..." said Jason extending his hand to help her up. She looked at it for a second to decide if she would take it, "Ah what the heck.." she said, and let him help her up. "...Jason! JASON!" came Wade's voice over the mic. "Oh, hey Wade, what can I do for ya?" asked Jason. "I've been calling you for like five minutes while Shego was napping on your back." "It's already been five minutes since we got out?" asked Jason. "Ten actually, but I've only been calling you for five. I need you to head south, I've got a ride waiting for you there," replied Wade. Jason looked back up at Shego and said, "I assume you'll be trying to hitchhike a ride home?"
"Of course!" responded Shego. They walked south where a plane was indeed waiting for them. While she wasn't looking Jason snapped some handcuffs onto Shego's wrists. "Hey!" yelled Shego. "Look at it this way, those are your ticket to a heated ride home"
"Well...I guess I can deal with it for now," she mublmed. After helping her into the plane Jason looked back at the smoking cavern not far off. "Wow..." he simply said to himself, and then climbed into the plane. Jason sat back in his chair. Shego was already asleep in her seat, and he followed a few minutes once they were in the air. The last thing he remember thinking just then was..."Oh man...what an evening."
-------------------------
Well Ferret Fans, I hope you enjoyed that little expedition. Jason meets Shego, they 'dance' for a bit, he even twirled her. XD Anyways, were getting closer to the crowning of the new hero. So keep watching. I hope that while I make you wait for the chapters, the wait turns out to be worth it.
