Chapter 3

Weird Day in Middleton
Part III

The Present

Middleton High School

Middleton, Colorado

Commander Ronald Stoppable just stared down at Kim, who was lying down on the grass lawn and looking up at him in shock. Cmdr. Stoppable knew that just poofing out of nowhere and saying that you were from the future was not going to be easy to take, but time was on the essence. Undoubtedly there was Time Police on his tail, and the Commander did not fancy meeting them again, especially not here. But still, having not seen Kim in so long……

-"Hello?" said Kim, waving an hand

Cmdr. Stoppable was jerked out of his daydreaming by Kim's question. She had gotten up by her elbows was looking at him weirdly. The Commander exhaled…..

-"Sorry K- I mean Ms. Possible" he inwardly berated himself for almost calling her Kim, "I know that this is hard to take but we have to move it NOW!"

Kim did not answer but picked up the Kimmunicator, which was lying beside her.

"Wade I got some guy that just dropped out of nowhere and is saying he is from the future. Can you scan him for me?"

Wade gave Kim first a weird look, then up

-"Alright Kim, ready to scan. Just move the Kimmunicator up and down him"

Cmdr. Stoppable exhaled in frustration as Kim moved the Kimmunicator up and down in front of him. There was not time for this, they had to go!

-"Ms. Possible there is no time for this we have to move it!" he said firmly planting his boot down.

But Kim seemed to ignore the Commander and turned back to the Kimmunicator. On screen Wade was having the wade through a ton of paper his printer was spewing.

-'Well Wade what's the stitch?"

Wade shook his head in amazement as he read the last piece of paper.

- "I don't believe it Kim…… I am picking up all sorts of things on this guy that are only experimental and some things I have not seen before…"

-"Like what?" now Kim was curious, just was the stitch with this mysterious, yet familiar stranger?

"It's technical… But trust me; if he says he is from the future I'd believe him"

-"Alright, thanks Wade"

Wade shook his head again as Kim signed off. There was no possible way that guy could be Ron, just no way. But then again… Kim's life, and by extension Wade's life, was full of weird things. In a moment of retrospect Wade realized it was good he chose not to tell Kim that the guy had Ron's scan signature, she'd freak.

Meanwhile Kim was looking the Commander over, circling him critically. She shook her head once for clarity and looked at Cmdr. Stoppable with a highly suspicious face before speaking.

-"Okay just say I believe you are from the future, Why me?" this was followed by a hands on the hips gesture.

Cmdr. Stoppable gave her an impatient glare, he was beginning to berate himself for forgetting that Kim was not an easy person to convince. But he had no time! He took a deep breath…

-"Ms. Possible I do not have time too fully explain that. If you will just come with me to where it is safe I promise I will explain everything"

Kim raised a hand and was about to speak when three glowing red spheres suddenly appeared behind her. The Commander's eyes widened when he realized what they meant…

-"KP! Hit the grass!" he bellowed tackling Kim

-" Wha!"

A blast of hot air blew over them then Cmdr. Stoppable slowly stood up, helping Kim up in turn. Standing in front them were seven figures in green body armor, they turned their humming sticks toward Ron till the lead figure, identified by the gold marking on it's armor, made an hand motion. The lead figure then removed its helmet, revealing a woman of Shego's age in the Present. Her hair was brownish gold pulled into a ponytail; a long red scar ran down the left side of her face. She grinned evilly at Cmdr Stoppable then spoke in a clipped British accent…

-"Well well well… If it isn't 'Moe-Ron' Stoppable and the Princess." She shook her head in disbelief "I can't believe you would so low as try to alter the Empress' past you 'Moe-Ron'"

While Kim looked on more confused then ever the Commander leveled a finger at the new woman.

-"Two things Carly" he said hard and even "One do not call me 'Moe-Ron', and two I will not let you turn Kim evil"

Carly leaned back in surprise at Cmdr. Stoppable's last statement and laughed….

-"You call the force that has brought peace to the peoples of the world evil? Ha you are even a bigger 'Moe-Ron' then I thought Stoppable"

-"You are the moron Carly if you really believe that stuff!" the Commander shot back.

-"Enough talk" she snapped "I am taking the Princess in for detox, since it is obvious you contaminated her. If you try to stop me….. well it is seven against one…. You really don't have a chance"

Kim, who had watching the little dialogue, stepped in defiantly…

-"Wrong… It's seven against two!"

Eyes flashing Carly gave Cmdr. Stoppable a sick look

-"This is a new low, even for you!"

The Commander rolled his eyes and turned to Kim….

-"Are you ready?"

-"Ready Ron"

Cmdr. Stoppable knew that from that tone of voice that he was going to get an earful when they finished with these goons. Then the goons charged, the Commander maneuvered to take on four of the Time Police while he let Kim handle the others. Kim meanwhile easily used her skills to dodge the stun sticks of the policemen then trip up two of them with a leg sweep. The other one charged but Kim leaps up, lands on his shoulders, then pushes off causing the goon to fall. Meanwhile Cmdr. Stoppable had his hands full with his own gaggle of goons, but he is able to handle it.

As Kim moves off to help Cmdr. Stoppable, Carly intercepts her…

-"Uh Uh Uh Princess" she stated smugly "I can not let you intervene here, you are coming with me"

-"I think not!" Kim shot back, then adding "And quit calling Princess!"

The two started fighting. Kim quickly realizes that Carly really knows her stuff about fighting, even with armor on. The fight soon carries itself away from the others and into the nearby parking lot….

Meanwhile Cmdr. Stoppable is on the offensive finally driving his way into the pack of evil police. He punches one, kicks another, and throws the third. Finally all that is left is one remaining officer. He charges and raises his stick. The Commander then deftly dodges and throws the man over his head. Looking around Cmdr. Stoppable realizes that Kim and Carly are missing…

-"Carly couldn't have possibly carried Kim off to the future… Where are they?"

As the Commander wonders Kim is still fighting Carly in the parking lot. Then after making a backward jump to avoid an especially bad blow from Carly's feet Kim leaps up unto a garbage dumpster.

-"What does your Empress want me for!" she shouted

Carly, who was just about to make a jump for the dumpster, halted suddenly…

-"Because Princess you are of the Imperial line, and the Empress needs an able successor, and you fit the bill" Carly knew she was lying, but if Kim knew the truth she'd never go with them.

Kim was not convinced and to Carly's surprise jumped down and straight on her. The two hit the ground with a thud and Kim rolled up first. Carly, angry now, made a bull charge on Kim. Who calmly side stepped and knocked Carly to the ground.

Just then Cmdr. Stoppable rounded the corner and seeing the scene smiled…

-"Well Well it looks like your kidnapping plan failed Cap'n!" he said triumphantly

Kim was smiling too but was not going to let Ron off the hook…

-"All right future boy explain this to me" she said annoyed

The Commander exhaled and ran a gloved hand through his hair…

-"Can't this wait KP?" he said sourly and then he smiled as he realized what he just said.

Kim thought for a moment….

-"No"

Cmdr. Stoppable let another breath and leaned against the wall, this was going to take an lllooonnngg time…
